To the alumni, friends, and patrons of the institution we have endeavored to delineate the continued progress of our Alma Mater and to recount our most recent achievements. We trust that the perusal of this volume will prove to be as great a pleasure to the readers as its compilation has been to us.

Wilson Leon E. Easterly Faculty Advisers 10 CKNO frj( DGME:7 (TS We, the Staff of the 1925 DeSoto, wish to make acknowledgments for the splendid assistance and co-operation of faculty members. To Mr. Clyde H. Wilson and his mechanical drawing students, we extend heartfelt thanks for the valuable aid given in lettering and artistically arrang- ing many pages of pictures. As a result of several years of experience, Mr. Wilson was able to advise us and help us in many ways. His boosting and encouragement cheered us many times when we were discouraged, and spurred us on to greater effort. We sincerely thank Mr. Leon Easterly for his help and advice along business lines. When we were wondering how we could raise the apparently stupendous amount of money required, Mr. Easterly showed the way. He gave valuable advice and assistance in drawing up contracts and attending to the legal for- malities, and in addition, mapped out and assisted in putting over a successful advertising campaign . As for Mrs. Leslie, nothing we can say is adequate to express our appreci- ation for her willing assistance in typing. She never complained, no matter how tired and swamped with work she was. We are indeed grateful to her. The 1925 DeSoto Staff. SCHOOJl CAJ[ NDA September 15 — Registration. September 16 — President Brister welcomed new students. September 17 — Y. W. C. A.

A 45 CLASS HISTOTiJ of 1925 By Hilda Scates Entering September, 1922, as a very insignificant band of high school graduates, collected together from all over the State, slowly but surely we have passed through the various stages of normal school life; namely: ratting and initiation into one of our societies, final examinations, and on through the Sophomore and Junior years up to the much envied rank of Senior. Alphabetically arranged-, you find the enrollment of our Class at this, the year of graduation. That our class has changed greatly since that early fall day in 1922, can be testified to by one and all of our members. Some have hurried on by attending summer school, some have gone to other schools, and others have already entered the teaching profession. So the personnel has changed, always centering around those who stayed with the regular course. Early in our school career, our class was organized and began taking part in the school activities. The officers elected to guide the Class through the Senior year were: Harvey Alarshall, president; Dorothy Wilson, vice-president; Ellis Franklin, secretary; and Mildred Hatfield, treasurer. They have performed their duties in a very creditable manner and have always aided the advance- ment of the Class. Falling heir to the right of editing The DeSoto — no others disputing this privilege — the Class set out to issue the best School Annual ever sent forth from this institution. With this in view, the staff was selected early in the year and started on its duties immediately. As for school activities, our members have stood above the others as office holders in the societies, as stars in athletics, victors in the debating contests, and other events of the School. As we have worked for and boosted this school while here, so we intend to do in the future — remaining ready to stand by and aid our Alma Mater in her struggle for the title of the best all round teachers college in the South. 46 t (I ' l ' I!

We remember that day with a whimsical smile; we were as the ship whose sail is rent, adrift and knowing not whither she goeth. However, with matricu- lation completed, we rapidly became a part of the school and began making our contribution to her social, intellectual and moral life. We early established a reputation for having certain winning qualities: courage, grit, pluck and that necessary concomitant of stalwart character — productive action. True, the goal seemed afar off, and at times our vision was obscured. But with added effort we turne d our eyes to a future of promise and achievement, and the end of the year found us making our way to our homes with all the joy that comes of a task well done. ' ' The moving finger -ivrites, And having zvrit moves on. ' ' ' And so it came to pass that the Fall of 192-1 found us returning as Juniors to the School we had learned to love so well. Again we became a part of her life; again our personal desires and ambitions were united in a spirit of mutual sympathy and brotherly love. This has been for us a year of achievement. Space does not permit a list of our accomplishments. Suffice it to say that the Junior Class has the honor of claiming as her members officers of the Kappa and Sigma Literary Societies, the Forum Debating Society, the Seymour A. Mynders Club, the Glee Club, the Y. W. C. A., the Latin Club and the Home Economics Club. We have given our untiring support to the School athletics — in fact there has been no activity in which we have not had a leading part. When the announcement was made that the West Tennessee State Normal School would in the Fall of 1925 become an accredited college, loud was the rejoicing of the Juniors, feeling as we did that we have in our small way con- tributed to the success of this institution. And now, in closing, let us say to the Seniors: May the joys you have known while here be surpassed only by those in your greater school of life. ' And to dear old Normal: May you bigger, better, finer grow.

Treasurer Lily Peter Reporter To the Sophomore Class of ' 25 belongs the distinction of being not only the largest class in school this year, but the largest Sophomore Class that has ever entered the Normal. This in itself should be an inspiration to us to keep our work up to the highest standard possible, and in this way do our part to- ward building up the traditions of scholarship and character which are the cornerstones of college life. In the various school activities of the past year we have not been found wanting. Six letter men on the football team, five letter men on the basket ball team, and three members of the girls ' basket ball team belonged to the Sophomore Class. Eleven of the fourteen members of the orchestra were Sophomores, and our class was well represented in the boys ' and girls ' glee clubs, the literary societies, the Y. W. C. A. and the other organizations of the Normal. To the Blue and Gray, we pledge our love and loyalty, to give her our best, that she, in turn, may give of her best, not only to us, but to others. 60 ; ' ' 1 9 2 L !i : ; 4MCLA 1,!

Hughes THE TfEMONSTT{JTIO:J QJCHOOJ Friends There are so many of us that the limited amount of space will hardly per- mit us to tell you all you might be interested in knowing about us. In the first place, we have a lovely new twenty-two room building in which to go to school. When our equipment is all in, there will not be a better housed group of children in Tennessee. There are more than four hundred of us this year. Each of the eight grades is divided into sections one and two. There are so many in the first grade that half of us come in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. Early in the year the Health Committee of the P. T. A. had several special- ists to come and examine the children, and a written report was mailed to our respective mothers, pointing out what needed to be done for us. The P. T. A. has equipped the kitchen for us and serves delicious lunches at mini- mum cost. We have such good things to eat! In the second grade, we have the Lorene Armour Kiddie Band, composed of twenty-three members. The P. T. A. bought the instruments and made the costumes for the kiddies. The band is led by Marshall H. Armour and directed by Miss Brown. The girls and boys of the seventh and eight grades have their basket ball teams. The boys and girls are working on the field under the direction of Mr. Robinson, one of our student teachers, and his assistants, Wilson and Mitchell, both College students. We thank them so much. In Eebruary, Miss Bessie Furr, our first grade teacher, married and left us. Miss Josie Stewart, our second grade teacher, then transferred to the first grade, and Miss Mary Dunn came to us from Treadwell school for the second grade. ir.i 74 Miss Mayme Brown Then our hearts were saddened because of the death of Miss Barbara Webster. We miss her so much. Mrs. D. K. Graves came to us from Snowden School to take the fifth grade after Miss Webster ' s death. Our Miss Francais Price ' s place in grade seven was filled by Miss Daisy Kirk, so we have had many changes in our faculty of eight teachers. Under the direction of Mr. Hughes, head of the Education Department, we have taken all kinds of educational tests and measurements for our im- provement and as laboratory work for the college students in the Education Department. The boys of the grades seven and eight have the happy privilege of taking Manual Training and Domestic Science under the direction of the College instructors, Mr. Wilson and Miss Wright. We use the same equipment used by the College students. There is much more we might tell you, but we ' d rather you would just come and see us, and we assure you you ' ll be welcomed by all of us.

These are S. A. AL, standing for Sigma Alpha Alu. Our motto, Adeste Fidelis, is instilled within the heart of each Sigma Girl of 1925. During this thirteenth year of our organization, we have held the Key to Success. Always faithful to the standards of Normal school, Sigma Girls rank among the first in scholarship, athletics and all school activities. They were the first to conduct a chapel exercise in the Fall quarter; ninety per cent ot them attended the school banquet in January, and all girls who entered the Normal-Jonesboro Debate Preliminaries were Sigmas! By winning the Inter-Society Debate in 1920, 1921 and 1922, the Sigmas received for permanent possession the first loving cup given by the Woman ' s Association. A second cup was then offered and it was won in 1923 and 1924 by Sigmas Debaters. For years the Sigma Girls have represented Normal School in the inter-school debates. Their debating supremacy has long ceased to be questioned. Not only have Sigmas ranked first in literary achievements, but they repre- sent the society standards in various other activities; the editor-in-chief of the Columns is a loyal Sigma, the president of the Home Economies Club is a Sigma. Filling important places in the Senior and Junior class offices, the basket ball team, the Latin Club, the (jlee Club and the orchestra, are found many of the Sigmas. We have enjoyed numerous social affairs during this happy year. At the beginning of the Fall term a delightful reception was given to welcome the new girls; the clubroom shower at Alother A ' lynders ' was nothing short of great in success and fun, too; the social hour after the initiation was a jolly one; and last, but perhaps the most enjoyable of all, was the Sigma-Sam joint meeting. One of our fondest dreams has been realized in our Sigma Clubroom. We are indeed grateful to President Brister for this lovely room, and although we labored diligently to furnish it in Sigma style, we are glad for any other organi- zation to use it. Surely there are reasons for such success. Some one set a loving example for us to follow, some one is alwa} ' s read} and willing to advise us, some one encourages us to attain higher goals, some one daily inspires us to nobler achievements. Who is that some one. Of course it is our precious Alother A Iynders. She is the guiding light of Sigma life. We breathe a prayer of thanksgiving for her and trust that each Sigma may follow in her footsteps. Some of our success we attribute to Alisses Coke and AlcCormack, who with A irs. Davis have proved of unfailing assistance to us in many ways. Year by year the sentiments of the Sigma Mpha Alu Society grow sweeter and dearer. Year by year Sigma hearts thrill with joy and pride as they hear: Sigma Spirit ' s never dead, ' Dem bones gonna rise again.

In 11123 a new cup was offered and it was won that year by the two SIGMA debaters, Ardclle Liddon and Louise Verdel. Then in 1924 the successful debaters were again SIGMA girls. All SIGMAS appreciate thf splendid work of Louise Verdel and Virginia McKelvey. This is, of course, the most interesting of all years, but the representatives of lv)2.

J 1 92 c r — - ■-_- PPA J 4MBDA SigMA During the past year many new members have been added to the Kappa Society, who have shown themselves worthy to be Kappas. The Society has always been glad of the accomplished girls that it possesses, and is very glad indeed to add still more talent to its ranks. Many interesting programs have been given both in chapel and in private meetings. The annual parties and picnics have been especially delightful. The Kappa Girls are very proud of their mascot, Owen Rogers Hughes, Junior, who is now one year old. He is growing fast and every member of the Society takes a great interest in him and feels that he is an honor to the Kappas. In earnest effort to promote the good of its members the Kappa Lambda Sigma Society has always been recognized as a leader and in this it has certainly lived up to its Constitution. The work of the past year has been pre-eminently successful. Alay the coming year bring many honors to the Kappa Lambda Sigma.

From its inception, the Forum has been proceeding with one dominant purpose, and that is the training of young men, who are students of this school, in the art of public speaking and debating. Just how well it has succeeded in carry- ing out the purpose of its existence is testified to by the number of young men who have come under its influence and gone out into the world and achieved a good measure of fame in public speaking and debating. The past year has, indeed, been a glorious one in the history of the Forum. The Society immediately got down to business last Fall with the opening of school, and has continued in an earnest manner throughout the year. The Constitution and By-Laws were completely revised and rewritten and have been framed and hung on the Society walls, and have been strictly observed. The Society has been careful in the selection of its officers, and each term men have t)een placed in office who uncierstood the high ideals of the Forum and who had the ability to plan and execute. Every officer seemed to be keenly alive to the responsibility that rested on him and every man discharged his office with credit and honor to himself and the Society. Several problems which have had to do with raising the standards of the school and looking towards the general welfare of the entire student body have had their origin in the Forum during the past year, and each of these problems has been pursued with zeal, until some definite result was accomplished. The Forum has been abl}- represented on every athletic team and in every school activity, and can justly claim its share of the victories that have come to the school. The social events of the year have indeed been enjoyable and will long be remembered by every member of the Society. The social season opened with an outing tendered by the Kappas, and the Forum in turn entertained the Kappas with a Thanksgiving party, which has grown to be an annual custom. 108 1 9 :: t THE FOT(UM TfEBATi:? SOCIETY The Kappas again entertained with a Valentine social, but the climax of the year ' s social activities was reached when the Thirteenth Annual Banquet was given on February 21. These occasions have been memorable events in the past, but the Thirteenth Annual Banquet completely eclipsed any former one, both from the standpoint of attendance and temptingness of menu. Two members of the State Board of Education were present and most of the Faculty members. This occasion marked a red letter day in the history of the Forum, and the memory of it will be a pleasant retrospection in future years. In view of what has been said, perhaps the greatest feature of the Society ' s activities has not been mentioned, that of the programs which are rendered at every weekly meeting. These programs have been well arranged, and much credit is due the Program Committee for their effective work. It is in these meetings that our members receive the real benefits of being connected with the Society. These meetings are conducted with all seriousness and earnest- ness, and it has been here that those whom we have before mentioned have gotten much of the training that enabled them to win honors for themselves and their Society. While the Forum has not reached its goal and never will, for it teaches the principle that there is always something beyond, it has made progress to- wards the realization of its ideals; it has contributed in a generous measure to a more wholesome life on the campus, and a higher standard of scholarship; its loyalty to the school and faculty cannot be questioned; it has sent forth a challenge not only to every Forum but to every student of the school to press on in making the West Tennessee Teachers ' College a light in the educational affairs of Tennessee. Fond memories will often be recalled of the year 1924-25 by every Forum, and they will furnish an inspiration for nobler achievements in the future. Walton H.

' ' I ' i-ll ftv. . m 129 925g FOOT ' S ALL The Normal football team was not a huge success this year from the touch- down-scoring point of view. To the casual observer of the results of the various games played, it appears that the Tigers have just passed through a most dis- astrous season. We admit that the team won only one game and tied only one, but we do not admit that the season ' s work was a failure by any means. The Normal Tigers rolled up the largest score of moral victories of any team in the whole South. Football is not just a game to show physical superiority in weight, speed and endurance, but it is also a game to show the finer qualities of the individual. It was in this part of the game that the team scored so highly and nobly. The reason we say that Normal scored such a magnificent moral victory, is that the game was not in the least bit tainted with commercial- ism. This is rather a unique statement to make when we consider the prac- tices of the average colleges and universities in this regard. So many of them have their Alumni Funds, Athletic Associations and Scholorships, behind which so many of our Star griciiron performers try to screen themselves and believe that they are working for their Alma Mater in good faith. No one can accuse the Normal athletes of being in any way helped by special funds that paid expenses and provided spending money in return for their services. In dwelling upon our season ' s success from the nobler aspect of the game, we cannot say too much in regard to the faithful and untiring work of Coach Zach Curlin. When Coach Curlin assumed the responsibilities as director of Normal athletics, he inherited a schedule befitting a championship team. He might have produced such a team had the school put out for its athletes. During the dark days of September, when many of the letter men of the past season failed to return; when the squad had been reduced to two letter men and a lot of inexperienced candidates, many of whom had never played foot- ball; when the money shortage was a serious affair, and when numerous other things frustrated the well-set plans for the year, Coach Curlin never gave up, but put added energy into making a team. Though it seemed for a while that Normal ' s hopes for any kind of football team were blasted, the Coach bravely announced that we would have a football team and every game scheduled would be played. Coach Curlin showed his ability as a developer of football team by training a squad composed mostly of inexperienced players to such a degree that it could easily hold and conquer any aggregation of its own caliber. This fact was well shown by the results of the contests with Jonesboro College, Bethel College and Murray State Normal. Jonesboro was doped to hold the Tigers to a close score, but they ran over those Arkansas boys by the overwhelming score of ? ?) to 6. Bethel College and A-iurray State Normal were each slated to win by several touchdowns. The best the Bethelites could do was to put over a lone touchdown, winning a game that should have been a scoreless tie, and the Murray aggregation was always stopped before it could put the ball across. 130 It,. I Ml I 9 To President Brister and Professor C. H. Coach Wilson is due a word of commendation. President Brister impressed upon the boys the value of true sportsmanship and the fact that they should always conduct themselves as worthy representatives of a teacher-training institution. Coach Wilson, Normal ' s first coach and the founder of its athletics, always took time to drop a good word and an inspiring thought no matter how dark the outlook seemed. The boys themselves cannot be praised too highly. Under the most try- ing circumstances they fought, and fought hard. The Tiger spirit never fell, no matter how helpless they seemed before their foes. We will remember them going on the field against the powerful Tennessee Doctors, knowing that defeat was in store for them. But they went, and they fought in such a way that many words of praise for the Tiger fight were heard from the spectators on that fateful day. We are proud of the Tigers, proud of the wonderful record they made — their record of clean sportsmanship, high morals and genuine love for Ole Normal. Results: Hendrix 51 Normal Ark.

When the Captain-elect failed to return, the boys unanimously chose him as their leader and he proved himself worthy of the trust. Why Pack left his Arkansas abode and came to Normal is hard to say. We believe that he had other motives besides the mere playing of football and seeking an education. From the way he visits down on Jefferson, we are beginning to think that quest for a love was a determining factor. If such be the case, we only hope that he stays and doesn ' t return to Arkansas. Cap- tain Packard had the distinction of playing every minute of every game. Elmo Bo Hundley, Tackle (uul Guard. Yorkville Bo was the other letter man to cast his lot with the Tigers — this being his third consecutive year. Bo is our Captain-elect for next year. Bo doesn ' t brag much about his home town, farm products and such things, but he is truly a son of the soil as shown by his ability to devour cornbread, sweet milk and molasses. It is not an uncommon thing to hear him in the twilight hours demonstrating his ability to call hogs. Just a hint — A certain young damsel irom Middleton is the first one of her sex to ever wear his sweater. Outside of this Bo was a consistent ground holder. Carlos Parr, Tackle and (jiiard, Trenton This bo) ' , who comes from the renowned town of Trenton, was a star per- former for Peabody High School during his prep school days. Despite his hard luck through the season with various types of injuries, he was in the game fighting whenever he was able. Carlos does not, by any means, overlook his social duties in his football enthusiasm — his sweater is always in demand. Henry Hank Smith, (juartcrhack . Messick Hank is in love. We don ' t like to speculate on a fellow in love. Although if he can manage a woman as well as he generals a football team, he can easily lead a dominating duality. To the girl: Beware of that foot that is so adept at lifting high the pigskin and sending it spinning down the field. It ' s still useful. He is a good passer. Don ' t let him pass you up. Duke How .e, Halfback. Memphis Duke started his college career at anderbilt, but left there and came to Normal. We always liked to see Duke get started down the field stiff-arming, side, stepping, twisting and otherwise evading the opposition as though they were absent. 1 3 3 Duke is one of our three letter men. When his athletic duties don ' t inter- fere, you may find him working away in the Chemistry Laboratory. When interviewed by a DeSoto representative he denied being a member of the National Guards, but it is alleged that he suddenly sought the back of his home one Alonday night. FuLFORD Tombstone Tyson, End and Haljback, Messick Some may wonder how Tiger Tyson got that name Tombstone, ' but that is easily explained. When he unleashed his lightning-like speed and jammed a rock-like shoulder against one of the opponents, that antagonist collapsed, and the grave markers were due an order. It was whispered that he had a standing contract with the T. A. A. — The Tombstone Association of America. Fred Fuzzy Mayo, Hnlfbnck, Somerville Fuzzy was commonly called the fleet halfback from Somerville. There was great joy in the Tiger camp when Fuzzy got around an opposing end, for the pigskin was always due to move farther into the enemy ' s territory. Dodge. ' ' i ou bet. They always tackled where he just wuz. If we should have the chance to rename him, Rabbit would have to be seriously considered. Jimaiy Nub Grisham, End, Messick Nub tells the world that he is from Messick. Outside of playing football he finds time to make A in Psychology, giving him prestige that is quite enviable to Normal Ps} ' chologians. His little coupe makes him a very popular member of the younger set. This nickname Nub came about as a result of some missing digits on the antiport hand. When asked how the missing digits were lost he informed us that he got so mad at Phil White in the U. of T. Doctors game, that he just naturalh ' bit them off. William Billie King, Guard, Covington When Billie ambulated into the dressing room one day in early September and demanded some football paraphernalia we meekly obeyed, knowing that some of us would have to warm the bench if we did so. Billie didn ' t spare any words in letting us know that he would be a member of the team, and that some of us weaklings would have to hunt something else to do. He was right. ' hen he set his six-foot frame with 195 pounds attached, including feet, eleven men, each with the faith of a mustard seed, couldn ' t budge him. This young giant made his letter at the table, too. For particulars, see the waitress. Warnlr Red Clifft, Guard and I hill . Bolivar This youngster lives at the Bolivar Insane As} ' lum. No! No! Not as an inmate, just as the son of one of the officials. Red played with the Union Bull Pups last year. Outside of these we don ' t know much of his past, but we are fully aware of the fact that he is right here in the present, footballically speaking. You should hear him grumble when the report slip doesn ' t show all A ' s. He is a strong advocate of Campusolog} ' . 134 i,,i ' I i 1 John Little Bit Shore, End, Troy This Trojan can tell you more about the wheat section of the United States than football. Still when someone was needed to turn a would-be end circler to the inside, Little Bit was usually the man called upon to do the work. It is very interesting indeed to hear him tell about his. traveling experiences and intense love for Ed. 70. Get Buck Jordan to tell you of something at which Little Bit is par- ticularly good. Bruce Monzou Wyatt, End, Ridgely Mr. Wyatt gets his name because of his intense love for French. Mon- zou ' s greatest asset was his ability to keep in training (. ' ' ). Armstretching exercises at the table kept him fit for hauling down long passes. It was great to see this Language Fiend make a swan-like dive and come up with his arms full of feet. Never say much about Ridgely when conversing with our French shark. Vincent Skillman, Center, iVIemphis Vincent is better known to the world as a cornet tooter than as a gridder. But he took time between blowing engagements to help Normal establish a reputation as a true disciple of the pigskin. This musician didn ' t come to Normal with incendiary purposes at all. He had no idea of setting anything afire with his playing. He just came to work hard, and made the team a very valuable man. Vincent has an Essex — you may guess the rest about the ladies. Paul Big Foot Morris, Taekle, IVlorris Chapel Well, he is trying to write all this report. Read all of it and you will know enough about him. Charley Buck Jordan, Tackle and Guard, Somerville We think that Buck had rather be known as the first baseman from Somerville than as a football follower, but he is nearly as good at tackling as at scooping a horsehide at the initial sack. In some of the early games Buck hardly knew what was going on, but after he got a few knocks and cuiTs it was a man ' s job to keep him out of the game. At your leisure get him to tell you of his great love for extracting knowl- edge from the printed page. Marion Hatchet Head Davis, Guard. Whitehaven Hatchet Head got a late start, but he looked like an old timer when his opportunity came. Hatchet claims basketball as his specialty, yet he will talk freely on anything you care to discuss, especially if the conversation takes the form of an argument. There is one way to win an argument from him — get the right sex hold of him. 135 . ' I. gL LS ' BASKETBALL The West Tennessee State Normal School Girls ' Basketball Team of 1924-25 has just passed through a very successful season. At the start the Tigresses appeared on paper to be one of the strongest sextets in the South, and on the court they soon proved themselves to be equal to their appearance in print. Although the girls had their trouble during the season by being defeated a few times at the hands of some of the most formidable teams in the Southland, still they easily retained their prestige as plavers of college caliber by holding their opponents to a close score in most everv game. This was well shown by the four-point margin to which the} ' held the strong Peabody College team, one that is considered b}- authorities to be among the fastest below the Mason and Dixon line. One of the greatest compliments that we can pay the Tigresses is they never forgot that they were Ladies, and conducted themselves as such on the court as well as off. They always remembered that their opponents were human beings like themselves, and treated them in the most courteous manner possible. Another tribute worthy of mention is that they upheld their past records of scholarship. Their conduct on the court and i;i the classroom has won for them the respect and admiration of every Normal follower. This bunch of Tigresses was composed of Conway Austin, Mabel Mitchell and Carolyn ancey, forwards; Louise Verdel and Thelma Ramsey (captain), centers; Madge Marshall, Helen Grills and Lois Ward, guards. From these Coach Curling developed some of the smoothest working combinations that have ever been in local basketball circles. Li staunch Mabel and vivacious Conway, he had a duet that always scored. It was great pastime to see them in action. Mabel would take a Gibraltar-like stand and let an opposing guard run against her and rebound like a rubber ball, while she slowly and surely shot the ball through the basket. Conwav could alwa ' s dribble awa} ' from, dodge and otherwise fool an opponent so that she could get nearer the goal for a shot that most always hit its mark. Lively Carolyn was always there ready to take the place of either Mabel or Conway — and a capable substitute she was. When Thelma and Louise got hold of the ball it was sure to go into our territory. Their work was always one of the bright spots of every game. Madge and Helen, just fresh from high school, quickh ' adapted themselves to college basketball. At first they were a little lost in the speedier type of play- ing, but were not long in finding themselves, and remained consistent players throughout the season. Peppy Lois was a very excellent substitute guard and was always anxious to get into the battle. One remarkable thing about the Tigresses was the absence of individual playing. When one of them did shine brightest in a game, it was because of the team work shown by all, and not by any superhuman playing on the part of some special member. 136 ■ t - 7 :e:zi-:, i 9 2 5 137 m U. z£ Louise Verdel Center. For four years Louise has been a faithful member of Normal ' s team. She has always been in the fight and ready to do her part. Her record made with the Tigresses will ever be remembered as one who helped make Normal ' s team what it is. Thelma Ramsey (Captain) Center. Three cheers for our Captain! Thelma closed her brilliant career with the Tigresses as their Captain. Her splendid work this season is a fitting climax to her three years of faithful service to the team. She is our star center and we are proud of her. Her wonderful leadership as Captain and her determination for her team to win cannot be given too much praise. AL BEL Mitchell Forward. When the Tigresses made their trip to Jonesboro, it was thought by several members of the team that Mabel would not return to Normal, but we were reminded of the fact that LIncle Sam still had post-offices in Jonesboro. Mabel is a letter girl from last year, and she has been one of Normal ' s most stubborn and persistent workers for a successful season. Mabel is a great player. Conway Austin Forward. Conway, our little fighting forward, has proved this season to be one of the peppiest and most dependable forwards that Normal has ever had. It is to be hoped that another season at Normal will see much of its success due to the splendid playing of Conway. Next to basketball, Conway ' s principal hobby is talking to Packard, at which game she is particuliarly adept. 13; 139 Carolyn Yancey Forward. Carolyn, our Radio forward, put out some good basketball as well as the school news. Although Carolyn did not enter into many of the games, she was always ready and anxious to do her part when called upon. Madge Marshall Guard. When Madge first came to Normal, from Hornbeak, Tennessee, she was known as Mutt ' s sister, but she soon made a name for herself by her work on the basketball court. She was one of Normal ' s steadiest players and was always ready to enter into the fight. We are expecting great things of her next year. Lois Ward Guard. When you think of pep, you always think of Lois. She was always eager to relieve either Madge or Helen. This was Lois ' first year with Normal, but she has brilliant prospects. Helen Grills Guard. Helen is playing her first year with Normal. She came to us from Somer- ville, Tennessee, where she was a member of the team. She was also a former star on the Trimble High team. Helen played a splendid game all season, but shone best for the Tigresses in the Y. W. C. A. game. She is a star guard all right and we are expecting her to help make Normal a winning team next season. 140 1 Ci ? BOYS ' ASKET ' BALL The Normal Tigers have just finished a very successful basketball season. Their success this year was in keeping with the standards set by the teams of the past few years. To live up to this standard was no easy task. At the first of the season it appeared that the Normal Cage team would be considerably weaker than the teams of past years. Not a single letter man returned, and all the new material was just out of high school or had not played any ball for a few seasons. Despite the outlook at first, we soon learned that the Tigers would be stubborn contenders for basketball honors in the Tri-States. Though there were no letter men to return, the school was extremely fortunate in having some of the best high school basketeers in the Tri-States to represent it in the indoor sport. Among them may be mentioned Crenshaw of Millington, all Tri-State forward 1924; Davis of Whitehaven, honorable mention for all Tri-State center of 1924; Boswell Hale of Memphis, formerly a star with the Christian Brothers College quintet, and other excellent players, including Fletcher of Dyer, Parr of Trenton, Howze of Gulf Coast Military Academy, and Tyson of Messick. These boys demonstrated their ability as basketball players early in the season — showed that all that was needed to develop them into a team of college caliber was just a little drill in basketball fundamentals in order to get the necessary team work. It remained for Coach Curlin to affirm his unquestioned ability as a de- veloper of athletic teams by molding this excellent material into a smooth, well functioning machine. This he did and put upon the field a squad of which every Normal student has a right to be proud — and one of which every one is proud. 1, I ' .i 141 _ ' -: ' i o CJ N 2; o Q o D O : a: Z w O Q z o w o E w D Q w ►J w : O o H W Ph J O 142 ' :.: 9 1 . ' -I 143 ' BASE ' BALL As the DeSoto goes to press the Normal baseball season is well under way. Although the Tigers have been having their troubles, yet as a whole they are playing fairly consistent ball. So far they have played eight games and of this number have won two, tied one and lost five. We do not believe that the results of these contests will allow us to predict the outcome of the season, because there are certain conditions confronting the team now that will be overcome later in the year. In the first place, the team is composed of entirely new but experienced men. Howze, a letter man of last year, was the only old player to return. Also several of the Varsity men were High School players last year and must pass through the transition period of Prep School ball to College ball. When Coach Curlin has rounded out all of this material with the necessary team work, and when the team is functioning in machine like manner. Normal School will have one of the strongest teams she has ever had. Those composing the squad are: Lohman, Pitcher and Right Field. Barbour, Pitcher. Hale, Catcher. Jordan, First Base. Mayo, Bumpuss and VanDyke, Second Base. Howze and Slough, Third Base. Fletcher, Left Field. Smith, Center Field. Morris, Right Field. Tyson and Grisham, Fielders.
