To the alumni, friends and patrons of the institution we hope to delineate the continued progress of our alma mater and to recount our most recent attainments. We trust that the perusal of this volume will prove to be as great a pleasure to the reader as its compilation has been to us.

HISTORY OF 1924 By Anne Sanford FTER you have found your picture beautifully reproduced and in the right place, you may perhaps be interested in some features of lesser importance. We record on other pages the annals of the underclassmen, but first we present a word from the Seniors. Wisdom and experience come only with the years. These qualities are rare in the great markets of life, so quite properly one does not expect to find the dignified robes decking a vulgar rabble, but rather the select few who have survived the trials of the years. Such are the Seniors. Now, open the gates of Memory ' s Treasure Garden and recall them just as they really were. Do you not see those efficient ones who took the right-of-way down the corridors and bestowed benign smiles and learned glances here and there as they hurried along? Those are the Seniors. It is they who answered all questions in classes and knew just the right thing to do at the right time. Our class was organized early in the year. The efficient officers elected were: Helen Prevvitt, president ; Herbert Grills, vice-president ; and Bennie Melson, secre- tary-treasurer. These officers have served faithfully, and are due much praise for the success with which the class has handled its problems. Among the rights and privileges coming to members of the Senior Class, together with the attendant responsibilities, was the task of editing the School Annual, the DeSoto. In keeping with the progressive and wideawake spirit characteristic of the class the Annual staff was elected early in the year and plans instituted for a successful volume. The problem of the dedication of the book was a weighty one. Each of the Seniors had particular friends among the faculty members, and a great deal of friendly rivalry arose as to who should be selected. It was finally agreed to bestow the honor upon our former Dean, Professor P. H. Manning, who gave so many years of his life to faithful service in our institution. K We have listed among our band, leaders in all of the school activities. Among our members are the president of the Y. W. C. A. ; six presidents or former presidents of literary societies ; the president of the student council ; members of the football, Jt! basket ball and baseball teams ; members of inter-collegiate debating teams ; members of the Columns Staff. We have always been found where work was to be done. We hope that the school may have just cause to be proud of us in the years to come, and we will ever take pleasure in doing all in our power to make this one of the greatest institutions in the South. 43 t Di Y y, (Tune— Pa! of My Dreams ) I Ifi Yi fL 55 OA ' t; As I turn back the years, With my eyes full of tears, Y] There ' s a place I can always see : Y ' : Just a school good and true, Y ' Such a bunch no one knew. Dear old pals, how we long for thee. Chorus: Dear old schoolmates, I ' ll miss you when we ' ve drifted apart; Dear old schoolmates, you ' ll always hold a place in my heart ; For the sweetest of memories come back to me, And I ' ll long for your faces just once more to see. i M r Every day of the week brings me thoughts of the past, ,s Y ' ' . . .

We can easily say that our class has contributed as much, if not more, than the other classes to all things that make school life worth while. The Jvmiors always take a leading part in all the activities of the school, and it is largely through the untiring energy and interest of the Juniors that success in all of the activities is attained. All of the school organizations are greatly strengthened by the Juniors. The Junior Class has the honor of claiming as its members the pres- ent leaders of the Sigma and Kappa societies, and of the Y. W. C. A. The Home Economics Club and the Latin Club receive much of their support from our class. We Juniors show much interest in debating, and the girls ' inter-society debate was won last year by two of our Juniors of ' 24. We have contributed much to the support of school athletics. We have mem- bers on the football squad, the boys ' and girls ' basket ball teams. Louise Verdel, our class president, was captain of the girls ' basket ball team, and under her leadership the team has had a very successful season. The Junior Class of ' 24 has not only made an enviable record in athletics, but we have made a fine record in the classroom as well. It is a record that will com- pare favorably with any of the other classes in school. Many of our members can be classed among the best scholars in Normal, and the Junior Class is going to swell the honor roll this year. All of our efficient and capable officers have worked hard to bring the Junior Class to the goal of a successful year. We have not accomplished so many big things as a class, but we have tried in every way to co-operate with the other classes in all worth-while undertakings. The greatest desire of our Junior Class is to pass into the Senior year with a success that will leave the memories of the Junior Class of ' 24 imperishable at Normal.

The departmental plan r .... V Y of instruction is used through the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. This work is tf Y . - - X done hy the regular critic teachers of the Demonstration School, supplemented by K ■, 1 I the college instructors in the departments of Art, Music, Manual Training, and Jl, ■} Domestic Science. y The new Demonstration School Building, modernly equipped, will be ready for occupancy at the beginning of the summer session. This building meets all the }yJ requirements of a modern school plant. The classrooms are of standard size and A T ... . y arrangement, and in addition to the classrooms there are special rooms for student- A y, teachers in which selected groups of pupils may be given special instructions. There K T . . ' . K t is also a gymnasium, a home economics department, a manual training department, I Y a library, a rest room, and a principal ' s office. i ... ... } v The building is adjacent to the new Memorial Athletic Field. This, with the I Normal campus, makes available an unusual amount of playground space. Equip- ment will be provided and careful direction of athletic sports and plays and games. ' ] _ _ _ ' y The value of proper physical development and training is being emphasized in the school. Thorough physical examinations have been given throughout the k I 66 M Y Y vi M Y ! V Y Y Mamie Brown school and parents have been notified of physical defects of the children, and the co-operation between teachers, doctors and parents has been excellent. We are indebted to the Anti-Tuberculosis Society for making it possible for each child in school to have the needed dental attention. The Dental Car stayed on the campus for five weeks, and more than six hundred dollars worth of work was done for these children with an expenditure of only six dollars and eighty cents. The State Board has set a standard of qualifications for teachers in this school that is not surpassed in any section of the country. Each teacher employed must be a college graduate with special training for her field of work. Several of the teach- ing staff hold the Master ' s degree. Standardized intelligence and educational tests have been given from time to time for the purpose of measuring results a nd discerning deficiencies. The school is used as the laboratory of the Department of Education. A very efficient Parent-Teacher organization functions and is responsible for obtaining many good things for the children. The boys of grades five and six are organized into a Good Citizenship Club, which is striving to raise the moral and physical standard of the children of the school and the community. The Demonstration School is making it possible for the Normal School to fulfill to a much greater extent its mission as a teacher-training institution. i K K i K [ ' 67 ■ - - ■- -; I ■•-.-- -. - ■- -- ' s sss: V B M 68 - o Co to an iA - - - . - - I r r r Y !

All the victims of these pirates represent themselves as orphans, thereby claiming exemption. Ruth (a female pirate), Frederic ' s nurse in childhood, claims him in marriage. Frederic meets Mabel and her sisters, the daughters of Major-Gen- eral Stanley. To save them from the pirates he claims that they are also orphans. The Major-General broods over the disgrace of his representing himself as an orphan and weeps at the tombs of his ancestors. Frederic consoles him. Frederic cannot force himself from the pirates to marry Mabel, for he has promised to serve the pirates until his twenty-first birthday. Having been born on the 29th of February he will not reach his majority until he is sixty-five years old. By happy coincidences he is freed from his pledge, marries Mabel, and all live happy ever afterwards. STAFF Dramatic Director W. E. Vaughan Business Manager W. G.

From a large membership of active, wide-awake girls we have had several repre- sentatives in all school activities. We are exceedingly delighted that Owen Rogers Hughes, Junior, has accepted our invitation to become Mascot for our society and an honorary member of it. We know that he will be an inspiration to us. A genial feeling of fellowship has prevailed in the relations of the Kappas and Forums. Mutual interests, joint meetings, parties, and picnics have blended our societies more closely together than ever before. We are very grateful to Dr. Kincannon for the clubroom he has promised us, and we are already making plans for furnishing it. A cozy clubroom has for a long time been one of our dreams. We are justly proud of the work we have done this year, and we are planning for a larger and better society when school opens next year.

Keeping every phase of college life in mind, the society has attempted to endow its members with those ideals which have always aided former members in reaching the topmost rung in the ladder of success. It has at the same time emphasized the spirit of loyalty and service to the institution until the president and faculty have come to recognize in the society a pillar of strength whose existence has contributed handsomely to the various school activities, having produced leaders in all, whose individual accomplishments are indicative of the superiority of the Society as a whole. The members of the Society are to be congratulated upon the rare judgment which they have exercised in the selection of officers during the past year. In every instance these officers have been men holding the growth and development of the Society first in their minds. Aided wholeheartedly by the entire membership they have succeeded in retaining the high standards of excellence which have always been characteristic of the Forum. The zeal and determination of its officers and members explain in a large degree the superiority of those members who have excelled in all branches of the professional world. Victorious encounters with problems of college life have been used as stepping stones to higher things, and their achievements furnish us with an inspiration to greater accomplishments. It is to be regretted that the Inter-Normal Debates were not held this year. It is in this field of endeavor that the Forum Debating Society excels so distinctly, as its superiority has long since ceased to be contested, and is now generally admitted. Its practice of furnishing all or at least a majority of the Inter-Normal debaters would doubtless have been continued this year, as the Society possessed a wealth of debating material that, with a little tr.-jining, could have been developed into a team of which West Tennessee State Normal School might have been proud. We have 96 ■ ' y -■ -ii_ F ;-- ---- : E :ssEg: . ? i I) r r FOTiUM ' DEBATID (G SOCIETY | . . y attempted to console ourselves vvnth the hope that these men may have an opportunity j to demonstrate their ability next year, and to bring the laurel wreath home to the h f institution and to the Society. . ■ . Jj y Although the foregoing statements may lead one to think that the Society 1,1 entirely disregards social activities, such is not the case. Instead, the records of the j y year are dotted by a series of social events, opened bv a reception to the Kappa Lambda Y . . . ' t Sigma, our sister society, and brought to a close by the annual Forum Banquet, held on Ji . , . ..... K b Washington ' s birthday. The first, with the joint meeting held with the Kappa JH y i I Lambda Sigma, did much in strengthening the ties binding the two societies together, X The annual banquet of 1924 was an even greater event than any of those preceding } X it. Its record is unique in that every active member was present. The superior merit K T . . . . . y of the pro gram, and the delectabilitv of the menu, were important factors in causing K Y • ... K Y the event to live long as a pleasant reminiscence in the memory of all those who were l h present. fj] Y • • ... 1 S As was previously mentioned, the Forum has figured prominently in every jl, ' branch of the school activities. Tirst might be recalled the work of Mr. H. T. j j M Marshall as student manager of men ' s athletics. Mr. Marshall served in this v ' , ' - x capacity throughout the entire year, and his services have proved of unlimited value A Y ... . . . Y to the institution. The successful management of the various athletic teams can in a y large degree be attributed to the untiring efforts of Mr. Marshall. The Forum X is also proud to ca ll as its own three of the four men in the Senior Class of 1924. v h These figures furnish further proof of the Society ' s supremacy in scholastic work. r Each of these three men has always been recognized as a loyal supporter of the insti- ■ tution, and each has plaved an important part in the publication of the 1924 DeSoto. I . .... ' - Ji The Forum also might be mentioned in connection with the school paper, and the y opera produced by the department of music in the Spring of 1924, to both of which . Y ... . . k S the Society contributed more than its share of talent. It has to its credit a great ■ ' Y many other achievements of equal importance — achievements which have been instru Y mental in the establishment of the high plane on which the Society now stands and L cf which we are justly proud.

It is a source of great pride to us that the Sigmas have entered into the various school organizations with the worthy ambition and firm determination to win in everything. We have created such a feeling of loyal, hearty co-operation that we have not only developed leaders for our own Society, but also leaders for many other prominent school organizations. Sigmas have ranked first in scholarship, athletics and all school activities. The Sigma Alpha Mu Society won the first silver loving cup offered in the Inter-Society Debate for three succeeding years, thus becoming permanent owners of the cup, and last May also won the new second loving cup for one year. The Sigmas also won the Inter-Normal Debate for Girls at Conway, Ark., last May. With the desire to achieve even greater things, it was decided to raise the stand- ard of the Society by adopting the pledge system. As a result of this decision girls wishing to become members of this Society are taken on probation for a term. They are required to pass on all studies, as well as to meet the usual Sigma Alpha Mu requirements. The literary and musical programs of the Society have been most instructive and entertaining, and have brought out much talent among the members participating. y Our Social Calendar has been well filled, and we have enjoyed it to the fullest extent. First cjime the party at the beginning of the Fall Term to welcome the V new girls, which was a huge success. Other delightful events were a weiner roast, a I) Christmas party by Mother Mynders, and the mid-winter party. X| We wish to attribute the largest amount of all our success to the unfailing T love and encouragement of our dear Mother Mynders. Her beautiful life is a i daily example for us. Her smiles and sympathy help to lessen our trials and i increase our happiness. Indeed we feel that Normal would not be half so sweet a Y v_ place in which to live without her presence. Iy Ij, There is a bond of love and fellowship among the Sigma girls that is incom- parable. Each Sigma is wholeheartedly patriotic to her school, Mother Mynders, her society and her Sigma sisters, and the heart of every Sigma swells with pride when she hears : Hi Sigma Spirit ' s never dead, X Them bones gonna rise again, Virginia McKelvey, yII Reporter. 106 J gl ! £- p 7 7 : :: .-:-.-.: . - = i: _ - -- - .--yiE j . i •rl A r r V V V y i i 1 i i V 5f itii y! II THE CUT Louise Verdel In 1916 the Woman ' s Association offered a loving cup to the girl ' s society which should win for three consecutive years in an inter-society debate. Since tliat time this annual Kappa-Sigma Debate has been the event of each year — at least in the minds of the members of the two societies concerned. The requirements were such that the cup was by no means easily won. On several occasions it was held by one of the societies for two successive years, but never until 1920 could either society win it to hold it for three years. At that time the Sigmas won. In 1921 they were again victorious, and in 1922 the skillful debating of Helen Prewitt and Eliza- beth Fullerton made the cup the permanent property of the Sigmas. In 1923 a new cup was offered. Louise Verdel and Ardelle Liddon, representing the Sigmas, won this new one for a year. Three cheers for the Sigma Alpha Mu debaters! s : r- i m Y Si V,: m 107 ill EEE ' -- ?- - - - - - - :?- - - -) i I i r. i I I Y Y, MfiT (OU ' SHAMED?

Come on, all true heroes, Xj All for you we dare — It ' s a hard task to beat the S. A. M. ' s. For our club ' s right there. Since the organization of the Seymour A. Mynders Club in 1913, no year has been more successful for the S. A. M. men than the year of 1923-24. Upholding the traditions of the club, the S. A. M. men have again been foremost in scholarship, athletics and morality. The social calendar has been one of many and varied affairs, which have helped to strengthen and uplift the club. The tenth annual banquet, given at the Hotel Gayoso, was considered the most successful in the history of the club. Now at the end of a fruitful year, with the membership increased some twenty members, the club disembarks with bright hopes and determination to accomplish X more in the future than in the past, and in the year 1924-25, and each succeeding ? year, to place the S. A. M. Club upon an even higher plane. Sed nil nisc honem. l w no m ■_--_ -. _ _ T m Y r Y Y ? Y V VT I 1 f-%sS Rc£ rFlK:K Al-LLiSJ B ! N!iJUL THOMSON HARDER HtADDfN !

In the final analysis there is really only one of these that counts — sportsmanship. This, a true trait of character, will be shown in the battle of life that will follow the closing chapter of the Normal career of each athlete, for, as someone so aptly penned : When the Great Scorer comes to write against your name. He writes not whether you won or lost, but how you played the game. The splendid sportsmanship of the Tiger squad of 1923 is due primarily to the efficient coaching of Lester S. Barnard, and to the close watch kept by no other than our president, Dr. A. A. Kincannon. There was a time when sportsmanship was not the predominating trait of a football struggle, but, thanks to the present day coach- ing and the broader view taken by the spectators, football is in a class by itself. Just eleven years ago Normal ' s football history began. To coach C. H. Wilson goes the credit of creating Normal ' s first representatives on the gridiron. Normal ' s original football team was no exception to the general rule of Fate: it had its ups and downs, but the season of 1923 placed it out of danger; it is now a permanent fixture. The season of 1922 marked a new era in Normal football. Normal got out of the prep school football class with a bang, as shown by its opponents and the result- ing scores. Until 1922 the high schools of Memphis held Normal somewhat lightly; they sometimes allowed a feeble grin to appear when Normal was mentioned. Now when that feeble grin appears it has a sickly expression along with it. This latter spirit seems to be contagious through all the colleges of the tri-states. Coach Barnard has aptly been called The Wonder Man. And why not? With scarcely enough men to pick two teams for scrimmage practice, he has built up one of the smoothest working machines ever seen in Memphis. Coach Barnard, unlike many luminaries of the football field, has the ability of imparting his knowl- edge of football to others. We can not say too much about our beloved coach, but of course the real brunt of the fray was borne by the men themselves, individually and collectively. The name of Tiger was given the Normal athletes some years ago, but the fight and never-say-die spirit manifested by the football team of 1923 more clearly exemplified the Tiger spirit than ever before. Every man a Tiger was the prayer breathed through many a heartrending contest. You can defeat the Tigers, but you can ' t beat them. We have spoken of our Coach, and of our team as a whole, now let us sing praises to the cogs them- selves — the finest bunch of pigskin chasers that ever hit a line. I K I f I!

Arnold Athletic Reporter w 132 gRIDIRON gossip OF TRIUMPHANT TIGER TEAM NORMAL 0— SPRINGFIELD 20 After a bitterly contested struggle, which finally ended in a twenty-to-nothing victory for Springfield State Teachers ' College, Normal went down fight- ing, losing her first game of the j ' ear. Due to the oppressive heat, Normal ' s line weakened in the last half, after holding the Teachers to a standstill in the first half. The fine defensive work of Red Thompson at right tackle and the excellent punting of Slim Hegvver featured for Norm.al. It is interesting to note that these two teams were coached by twin brothers — Lester and Chester Bar- nard — of national fame. These two brothers played the end positions on Northwestern ' s team. ■Red Thompson Right Tackle H ' Slick Headden Quarterback NORMAL 7— U. T. DOCTORS 19 Normal ' s next game was with the University of Tennessee Doctors, who have been defeated by no one in years. The Bengals went down fighting, but to a man they were satisfied with the results of the game, for it showed that Normal had a real football team. In the first quarter Normal took the ball on their own tv ' enty-yard line, and after repeated bucks and slashing off tackle plays, Slick Headden finally crashed over for the first touch- down. Indeed was the fighting instinct of the Tiger aroused. In the last half the Doctors ' superior weight and experience began to tell, and then they annexed three touchdowns and a victory. 133 .!

Fol- lowing her win over Jonesboro, the Tigers dealt out some misery to Hendrix College to the tune of 9 to 6. Hendrix, having just taken a drubbing at the hands of Bo McMillan ' s charges, was confident of winning from Normal, but once Normal got started they were never stopped until Hendrix was beaten. The wing sentrys. Hatcher and Hale, came into the limelight here with their excellent blocking and their uncanny work on the business end of the for- ward pass. NORMAL 12— BETHFX In their third contest of the year, which was with Bethel College, Normal triumphed by a 12 to victory. Opening the game with an aerial attack which proved entirely successful, Normal worked the ball to the five-yard line from which Lawhead smashed over for a touchdown. Again near the end of the first half Lawhead raced thirty yards for a touch- down. If ever a man did play bang up ' football it was Lawhead that day. Brasher got unlimbered also in great style, nipping several pla3 ' s behind the line. NORMAL 15— S. P. U. Normal had little trouble disposing of S. P. U., and the score could have been larger had they de- sired. Red Allen, the crimson flash from Oklahoma, with his catapult drives, and Bo Hundley using his tower of strength to perfection in the line, were the individual stars of the game. Normal again upset the dope by handing out a trouncing to highly touted Preachers. i K n K K 134 M - - -)- - s tJM i I ft V Y V V lYi! Ernie Baldwin L Tackle Gene Packard Left Guard NORMAL 6— JONESBORO AGGIES Normal ' s game with Jonesboro, which has become an annual affair, proved the greatest surprise of the year. Normal went over expecting to win by a comfortable margin, but since Jupiter Pluvius took a hand in the affair the speed boys couldn ' t get going. Mainly through the consistent work of the line and especially that of Ernie Baldwin and Bar- ney Barnhill, was Normal to come out at the long end of a 6 to score. NORMAL 14— MISS. H. A. The game with Mississippi Heights Academy was played just after the high school classic of the year. Central High vs. Tech. High was over, and the last half was cut short en account of darkness. The boys from Blue Mountain may well be glad, for they were in for the trouncing of their lives. Packard, the dumpy little guard from Arkansas, earned a place in Normal ' s Book of Deeds when he blocked a punt that was immediately turned into a score. w K 135 i; ,i- c : i r -}-: -; - j=2 - ' ' -r- S3s: • - - ' - K iivil 10 Chief Brasher Right End Rip Parker Full Back NORMAL 0— LITTLE ROCK COLLEGE 3 Normal suffered the worst hard luck of the year on Armistice Day. No one likes to hear alibis, but ri ht Jiere we have one to offer. If Normal was ever due to win a game in her history, it was this game. It was a cold and dark and dreary day, and the mud was ankle deep, thus was the stage set so that when Hegwer ' s punt fell short Little Rock, after vainly trying to gain through the line, was forced to try a field goal, which was successful. Normal outfought, outgeneraled, and had gained considerable more yardage than Little Rock, but lacked the punch for a score. We are taking our hats off to them, but we still think we were due to win. TENN. NORMAL 12— ARK. NORMAL 7 Normal ended a gloriously successful season with a Turkey Day victory. The back field were some- what handicapped as to speed, but it would have taken quite a bit more opposition than Arkansas was able to offer to have stopped Rip Parker ' s plunges through the line. If he had been saving himself ail the year he couldn ' t have hit that line a bit harder. To him goes the credit for winning this game. A feast in true Thanksgiving style immediately followed the game, and training rules were cast to the four winds. Let us hope that the same team crawls into Tiger uniforms next year coached by the same coach. And, if possible, let us hope that they have even a greater season than this year. DETAILED DOPE Ernie Baldwin, who was in a continual search for punishment for his neck, was selected as all-state tackle when he was playing high school football in Oklahoma. He also had experience at the Uni- versity of Kansas, and likewise did he shine in the line for Normal. Red Allen, the crimson flash from Oklahoma, and our next year ' s captain, was good enough to run through the entire Doctor team in scrimmage. He played in every quarter of every game that Normal played for two years. He has been under the tute- lage of Coach Barnard for four successive years. Slim Hegv er was also from Oklahoma, and he agreed that he was a true son of the prairie once his long legs got to unwinding around the end, and when his brogan hit the ball it was due for a ride. Ted Lawhead had the misfortune of dislocating his shoulder in the Conway game. We can truth- 136 i h K i jsrts ' - ' ■■• _ ' -■;,.- f-r : - i r y ! I V V V S r I i i Y I Y Bo Hundley Ru hl Ciitird ■Hatch Hatcher Lejt End DETAILED DOPE (Continued) fully say that he was one of the scrappiest men ever seen on the football field. His backing; up of the line was unbeatable. Slick Headden came to Normal fresh from high school ranks, a snappy quarterback who was able to use his head as well as his feet. Slick was the indi- vidual star of more games than any other man. Barney Barnhill, Captain of the team, was the fleetest of the entire squad. He was able to pull out of the line and get in more interference than any lineman Normal has ever had. Bo Hundley, the giant that played right guard, was a giant in more places than on the football team. He weighed only 215. Now guess where else he starred. Rip Parker got his name from the proverbial Rip Van Winkle, but once he was on the football field he came to life with a snap ; if there was an extra down to make, he was the man for the job, and oh, boy, how he could hit that line! Pot Licker Williams was as much at home hold- ing ' cm on the football field as he was in the mess hall. If there ever was a wild Irishman out there fighting it was old Pot Licker. Hatch Hatcher had enough experience on the Greenfield Preps to make him the star end that he was. It was indeed a pleasure to hear old Hatch ' s fog horn voice ring out Ball. Eugene Packard, the shortest and tlu ' ckest man on the squad, hails from Arkansas. Maybe he wasn ' t in there fighting all the time, but I ' ll say he was. Kid Blount, the man that showed so well against the U. V . Medics, was handicapped by illness the early part of the year, but once he got going he proved to be one of the most consistent ground gain- ers we had. He played football and talked baseball. bheik Hale, a full brother to the elusive Goat Hale, had many of the characteristics of his brother. It was a common sight to see Hale extracting him- self from the seething inass of cleats and bruises, but he always came up read} for more. Red Thompson, an A. E. F. veteran, was the kind of a fighter that we were all proud of. He could get more black e es and busted lips and still manage to grin more than anybody. He played the stellar game of the year against Springfield, Mo. Chief Brasher ' s second yer.r on the Normal team found him still there with the old fight. Roy was always smiling, and raving to go. Some one said that he made a hit just east of the Mess Hall also. 137 Wh 7y) •;— - - - -; - - - -- - ' I ' J fV V I i i k i i V !Yjl ri. ! -VH-H y COLLEiGa A £4 1. Captain Barnhill; 2. Island; 3.

S. Barnard into Southern athletic circles, basket ball came into its own at Normal. Before Barnard ' s arrival, which was in 1922, Normal had basket ball teams, but none of the present caliber. How true the saying that Time brings changes, for in 1923 Normal blossomed forth with one of the best basket hall teams among the southern colleges. Basket ball at Normal is still in its infancy, for in just two short years this institution has come to be recognized throughout the South as having a team worthy of any opponent. Normal ' s schedule included the premier teams of the South : Ole Miss, Union University, Hendrix College, Jonesboro Aggies, Mississippi College, and the local teams, the City League, which was comprised of the Catholic Club, the Y. M. C. A. Varsity, the University of Tennessee Medics, and Normal. Normal was nosed out of first place by the narrowest of margins by the Y. M. C. A., conquerers of every team of note in the South. Thus Normal finished second, in the Memphis con- ference, and is entitled to high ranking with any southern five. The Normal team was not a one-man team. Who has seen the Tiger in play, functioning precisely, cleanly, and inspiringly under the direction of Coach Barnard and has not marveled? There goes Slick Headden dribbling, pivot ing, fighting toward the basket, shooting with effect, setting himself deliberately as he aims. Watch Parker taking the ball from his basket, playing the rebound skillfully as only one who has mastered the backstop angle can play. See wily Barnhill, a captain who leads, covering the back court with his easy grace and guiding his huge strength ever toward the ball and never toward the man. There, too, is Thompson bounding over the floor, changing from offensive to defensive, and back again, and showing equal ability at either. Island has been told to roam the court, and a right good job he ' s doing of it, too. Time out and Hedgwer replaces a Normal player to show the fighting qualities that make him acceptable to this team. Or, perhaps, it is Wyatt sent in to aid because some one has momentarily faltered. At this point I want to say that Headden and Barnhill were chosen on the All-Memphis basket ball team by every sport writer of the city. The 1923 basket ball team of West Tennessee State Normal was a credit to the school, to its coach, and to the personnel ; yes, a credit to the ideals of sports- manship that govern the play of gentlemen the world around, and a tribute to the excellence of sport ' s development in the South. 139 111 i I I I i 1 Ml 1 1 An] ' y ' zr ' z ' ' - ■ i I I V: Y I C.

The girls were greatly handicapped this season as they were without a coach until after Christmas. In addition they raised their standards by playing only first-class roUege teams. Perhaps the most notable event was the thrilling fight our girls put up against Peabody College, for two years the champions of the South. Playing under the handicap of the five man rules, with which they were unfamiliar, our girls kept the result in doubt until the last minute of play, losing by a four-point margin. The final game of the season certainly ended in the traditional blaze of glory. For several seasons the Memphis Y. W. girls had been undefeated, and all of the local sport critics conceded them the best in this section of the South. The Tigresses, however, upset the well-known dope pot and by both individual brilliance and concerted team work piled up a well-deserved victory- — 29 to 18. When the hopes of the team were hanging b ' a thread, and the girls were becoming desperate. Coach Davis came to our rescue with new inspirations and determinations, for victories. In every succeeding game they put forth a brave fight, and in the final game made all Memphis sit up and take notice. Clean basket ball and hard fighting won for our team the highest respect and praise of the institution which they represent.

As a member of our team for the last five years, Bill, or Wee Willie, the diminutive forward, has helped to put the Normal basket ball girls on the map. She located the wicker from every angle of the court with ease and dexterity that showed skill and long experience. 2. Louise Verdel (Center), Captain. All hail, Louise, the Tigresses ' Captain! For four years she played with Normal and with a final rush to glory ended her basket ball career with the captainship of the team en which she had played. In the face of trials and difficulties she held the team firm and united and the results of her splendid leadership are evident in the showing of the team. Too much praise cannot be given her as captain of the City Champions of ' 24. 3. Snooks McDaniel (Forward). Snooks hails from Cuba, Tennessee, and played on the championship Shelby County Team. She was soon recognized, after her work on the Normal team began, as Memphis ' sensational forward. She ' s a star forward all right, and we ' re proud of her. 4. Ozella Morris (Jumping Center). Ozella, better known as Zeke, was by nature particularly qualified for her position. She did splendid work all season, but shone with especial brilliance in the Y. W. game. Here she showed her real ability. How she did play! Zeke is some player, anyway. Just ask Herbert; he knows. 5. Meb Burrus (Guard). Although the tiniest player on the team, Meb was by no means the least noticed. She played a good game and never failed to get her share of the applause of the onlookers. She came to us from Dumas, Arkansas, where she had plaj ' ed on the champion team of that to wn. As one of the Tigresses she upheld her splendid record and helped to place the Tigresses on their present plane. 143 m SlJi3 ?:7 m M il I I y ' I i v ' l Y I Y ? Y Y V M terii ,1 144 .— - - 3. Vi Thelma Ramsey (Side Center). We do not know what Thelma considers her specialty, but we do know that she is some little basket ball player. She has been a member of the team for two years, and in that time she has come to be one of our best and most dependable players. Three cheers for Thelma, the Home Economics expert, the beau ty and popularity contest winner, and last but by no means least, the basket ball player ! 7. Mary Yancey (Guard). Mary, or Kick-Off, our giggling guard, hailed from the Cuba Cham- pions of ' 22. In speaking of pep, we think of Mary, for from the first whistle she always showed it, and plenty of it, too. We are justly proud of our fight- ing guard. By the way, how she did hate those practices. 8. Mabel Mitchell (Forward). Mabel came to Old Normal from Millington as captain of the Shelby County Champions of ' 23. When we called on her, she was always ready to do her part. In practice and in games she was the same sure shot at the goal. We are counting a great deal on her as one of next year ' s players. 9. Conway Austin (Forward). Conway, known as Mr. Davis ' general utility, showed that she well deserved her title. Whether she played guard, forward or center, made no difference to her. The team knew that they could depend upon her. Con- way ' s great, and we hope she ' ll be with us again next year. l i 10. Ruth Landstreet, Manager (Guard). rn! Ruth proved her ability this year, not only by her capable managing, but also by being one of our stars on the court. This was her second year of faithful service with the Tigresses, and how she did play! Ruth is an all- round athlete, too. She swims, plays tennis, and does both well, but you can ' t get away from the fact that she really shines on the basket ball court. 145 m Ml .m = -v- - - - Ill k D (ORMAL TIGERS HAD gOOD 1924 SEASON Not a Game Was Lost on Home Diamond, and Only One Series Went to Their Opponents The West Tennessee Normal Tigers are celebrating the close of a successful baseball season. Not a game was lost on the home diamond and only one series went to the opponents. The Jonesboro Aggies were the easiest picking for the Bengals, dropping all of the four games played by comfortable margins. Union University split even in four games, taking the two games on their own diamond by close decisions and being completely swamped at Normal. The series with Arkansas College was a heart-breaking affair, each of the two games being lost by one run in the ninth. At home, however, the Tigers won a 10 to 7 verdict in a free-hitting contest. Arkansas Normal Strong Perhaps the strongest opponents were the Arkansas Normal Teachers at Con- way, who broke even in a two-ply series. The only local team played was Dutch Leggett ' s U. of T. Doctors, who went down in defeat by a 5 to 3 score. Slick Headden, of basket ball and football fame, was the leading pitcher, with four victories and two defeats, while Pewee Arnold broke even with three in each column, and Jack Stevens won two and lost two. Capt. Red Allen, shortstop, led the team in hitting, and Blackley, first baseman, led in total bases with three home runs and a number of doubles to his credit. The following men were awarded let- ter by Coach Barnard : Allen, Arnold, Baldwin, Blackley, Brasher, Cawthon, Headden, Howze, Island, Stevens and Thompson.

V Y 1 Y Y H As the DeSoto goes to press the West Tennessee High School Meet is the most talked of project on the campus. All plans are made and the stage set for an even greater attendance of high school students than the premier meet of 1923 drew. The Scholastic Division with nine departments is expected to add greatly to the attendance and interest. In the 1924 Meet, April 25-26, eighteen silver cups and 162 medals will be awarded. Free entertainment will be given to the contestants, and the comic opera, The Pirates of Penzance, will be put on especially for their enjoyment. The Commercial Appeal is awarding the grand cups ; the Pan Hellenic Association of Memphis, the division cups in the scholastic division ; and generous organizations and business firms the other cups and medals. The purpose of the Meet is to afford an opportunity for representatives of the high schools of West Tennessee to come together in friendly contests in literary, oratorical, musical, and athletic contests under Normal School auspices and thus to stimulate the students to greater efforts in their daily school activities. These students will become acquainted somewhat with their State Normal, its equipment, life, and methods of work. GENERAL PROGRAM Friday — 9:00-12:00 A.

To Dr. Kincannon and the members of the faculty who have given so willingly of their advice and of their time, and who have been lenient in the matter of recita- tions at times when Staff members were swamped with work, we express our sincere appreciation. We wish to thank the members of the Mechanical Drawing Classes for valuable assistance they rendered in lettering many of the pages of pictures. We wish also to acknowledge here the drawings done by Miss Agnes McDonald, and to express our gratitude to her for them. When advice along business lines was needed, we had a patient and sym- pathetic friend in Mr. Leon Easterly. We are very grateful to him for his help. Lastly we wish to thank our faculty adviser, Mr. Clyde H. Wilson. We cannot adequately express our sense of indebtedness to him for the many hours he spent in conference with the Staff members when the Annual was being planned, for the real assistance he gave us when the actual work on the book had begun, for encouragement he always had ready, and for his continual boosting of the De Soto. He was truly a friend, and we are sincerely grateful to him. THE 1924 DE SOTO STAFF.

Why, shay, I thought you wash driving. AAA COUGH UP. Katherin — See any change in me? Mildred— No; why? Katherine — Because Fve just swallowed a cent. Hilda liked to play hookey, but had some difficulty in indulging in her favorite sport, because every time she stayed away from school the teacher sent a note to her mother. One day she tried to circumvent this embarrassing procedure. She rang up her teacher from a pay station and, disguising her voice as well as she was able, said: I have rung up to tell you that Hilda will not be at school todaj ' . Oh, very well, replied the teacher. Who is this speaking? To this unexpected question poor Hilda replied: This is my mother. QUICK CHANGE NEEDED. Can ' t I change my name today, ma? Mother — What in the world do you want to change your name for? Bobby — ' Cause pa said he will whip me when he gets home, as sure as my name ' s Robert. — Boston Transcript. AAA SOME KICK. An Englishman was once persuaded to see a game of baseball, and during the play, when he happened to look away for a moment, a foul tip caught him on the ear and knocked him senseless. On coming to himself, he asked faintly: What was it? A foul; only a foul! A foul! he exclaimed. A foul! I thought it was a mule. 154 - .;_ VVr- i N , iE:; 1= lav mi V ' V y1 V joK es Miss Augustus — Who was Cicero? Dick Jones — Mutt ' s son. Hall Boy — De man in room seven hab done hung hisself !

AAA A WILLING SACRIFICE. Mamma, said little Elsie, I do wish I had some money to give you for the poor children. Her mother, wishing to teach her the lesson of self-sacrifice, said: Very well, dear; if you would like to go without sugar for a week EH give you the money instead, and then you will have some. The little one considered solemnly for a moment and then said: Must it be sugar, mamma? Why, no, darling, not necessarily. What would you like to do without?

To bob, or not to bob — that is the question — Whether ' tis nobler in the head to suffer The puffs and rats of outrageous fashion, Or take scissors against a mass of tresses, And by cutting, end them ? To cut — ' to bob — And by that cut to say we end The tangling and the thousand unnatural styles That hair is heir to, ' tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To snip, to bob: To curb, perchance to ruin — aye, there ' s the rub. For in that cut of tresses, what regrets may come When we have whacked off the shining coil. Must give us pause — there ' s the regret That makes a bob of so long hair. For who could bear the jests and scorns of friends; The pangs of departed curls, the growth delay. To pine and sweat under a knotless life? But that the dread of something after cutting. Makes us rather wear the hair we have Than flv to bobs that we know not of. 158 I m I A l!

After addressing a few more questions to him the visitor passed on. She noticed a smile broadening on the face of her attendant, and, on asking the cause, heard with consternation that the old man was none other than the medical superintendent.

X :=: ' : , := :=r- -- l- -i-- - T Did You Ever Stop to Think As a street car ride r, a consumer of gas or electricity, or a user of the telephone, what personal inconvenience, what communitv misfortune, what tremendous business loss would follow a suspension of any of these services. Think of the Important Fact that the street railway, gas and electricity, and the telephone have become among the most important adjuncts to life in all thickly populated communities; that such communities have become so dependent upon these services that an interruption of only an hour or so in any one of them is almost instantly felt throughout the length and breadth of the communities. Your Obligation as a Citizen Then is to see to it that companies furnishing these services are given the right to operate for such length of time, and upon such terms and conditions, and to at all times charge such rates as will, regardless of the fluctuations in the cost of rendering services, enable them to at all times render to the public adequate service. Bear This Always in Mind that your obligation, just defined, is of first importance to the public; indeed it arises from public necessity rather than from any utility requirement, because unless your obligation is discharged, the services so essential to communities, cannot and will not be provided.
