They who feigned The airs of gentleness and courtesy, No more shall sack the cities, nor again Lay waste the vineyards, strip the fields of corn. No more shall highways echo with the moans Of butchered peasant, or deflowered maid, By caitiff knighthood overcome. But now Shall be true knighthood, chivalry indeed. The veoman shall no more with o and swine Be herded; as a brother he shall be To prince and paladin; a man to men. His child shall learn to read, to write, to think. And claim joint heirship with the child of peers Of all the newer, better world to come. A new Crusade this people shall begin, Not to regain an empty sepulchre, But to set free the living Christ from thrall! A crusade shall be waged against disease, — Disease of body and of heart and head, — Against oppression by the favored few. Against the superstitions of the mob. Against the bigotry of narrow sects. Against the darkness of benighted minds, Against uncleanness, — filth of flesh or spirit, — A crusade that shall free the souls of men.

The end of the Indian Summer. Crying wind! Sighing wind! With a voice like a soul that passed unshriven ; Turned away from the gates of heaven And doomed to wander in pathless spaces. It creeps close to humankind ' s places. Eerie wind ! Weary wind ! The end of the Indian Summer. Lily Peter.

Do not fear the fog and darkness. Or the banshee ' s keening; You shall find us, you shall know us, By the marshlight sheening, Do not tarry, do not tarry ! We your load will lift and carry! Yet again from moor and fen. Hear my dreams calling! Far across the violet hills Hear my dreams calling! Calling still from peak and hollow, Follow, follow! Night will soon be falling. Do not fear the looming shadows, Ghosts that line the valley ; When yo u meet us, when you greet us, Forth they ' ll dare not sally. Do not linger, do not linger! Beckoning me with dewy finger, Far across the twilit hills Hear my dreams calling! — Lily Peter. 28 1,1 v: mill: i:i|(li!liliiii y iY!llliJilAi[ll([0!:iiliMi[l!ih[ iTKl ' ii ' J!ii;i|i,:!.

It is the first class to receive de- grees from this institution. It is made up of a body of conscientious workers, prospective teachers. They have passed through the various stages of acquiring an edu- cation. Some have been initiated into the societies with all the attendant thrills. They have enjoyed four years of uninterrupted college life. Others have been enrolled at intervals. These are teachers of experience and because they have had to wait long and work hard, they appreciate the degree. All of them are grateful to the institution. They feel that it has done something for them. The roll is arranged in alphabetical order. Some names ap- peared in the 1 25 De Soto as Seniors, but when the institution broadened its scope they returned to finish another lap of their scholastic journey. Herbert Grills has served the class as President, He has been interested at all times in the welfare of the class, and therefore in the advancement of the school. The Seniors have taken an active part in college activities. The members of the class have been office holders in the various literary societies, stars in athletics, and prominent in the work of the Student Honor Council, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. The class has been loyal to the institution while they were members of it. They will be doubly interested in its welfare after they leave. Realizing what it has meant to them they will give their Alma Mater their enthusiastic support in her larger program of increased efficiency and service. 30 ' jjji;ii,i ' i,hiiiii)ii!i(i;ii; 31 ' PRESIDENT Herbert Leonard Grills, Somer-ville Chemistry; Forum Debating Society; Asst.

This may be said of the Junior Class of 1926 with equally as much truth as of Marion ' s Men. There are only twenty-three of us, nineteen regular members and four extension teachers, but rarely is a group of better students with more school and class spirit found. All nineteen of us had our pictures made for the Annual, which is, we believe, a better record than that of any other class except the Seniors. We have only one letter man among us, Carlos Parr, who made a letter in both football and basketball, besides being student manager for the year and captain of the football team ; but the rest of us attend the games and make as much noise as possible for a group of our size, especially since one of our class is cheer leader. We have members in all four literary societies, the Par- nassian Club, and in all the clubs connected with the various departments of the school. Since the beginning of the year we have supplied a sec- retary, a vice-president and a president to the Sigmas; a secretary to the S. A. M. ' s; two treasurers and a vice-president to the Forums; a president to the Kappas ; a vice-president, secretary and treasurer, as well as a pub- licity editor, to the Parnassian Club; a president and vice-president to the Elementary Council ; a vice-president to the Home Economics Club ; and the first president and vice-president to the Mathematics Club. Since this is the school ' s first year as a college we are her first real Juniors. Of course, last year we called ourselves Juniors, but if anybody asked one of us if he were a second or third year student and he answered second, the invariable answer was, Oh, a Sophomore, aren ' t you? So this year when we really have the right to our title we take advantage of every opportunity to use it, even going to the trouble of posting the pro- gram of our class meetings in a most conspicuous place to let everybody know how wide awake we are. Our programs have been really worthwhile, too, and the whole class has worked hard to make them so. In our three years here we have spent many hours toiling in the pur- suit of knowledge, and we have lost the roses from our cheeks — the roses |j the angels put there. Therefore each of us hopes for all the others that they may return next year as light-hearted and gay as all the other Seniors we have seen in these three years to enjoy the fruits of their labor and to spend a happy, carefree year with their troubles all behind them. 42 -■J) JJ JI:..

Our activities for the year were mostly of a business nature, but numerous athletic contests were engaged in. Our men took their place on the football, basketball and baseball teams of the school, and their suc- cess was our success. Our girls played brilliantly on the championship basketball team. In the Spring a baseball game between the Sophomore and Freshman class was engaged in, the Sophomores being victorious. Our class was well represented in the Literary Societies, Clubs and Organ- izations of the School. We have great hopes for next year, and as a great many of our num- ber are returning, no one can say as to what heights we shall go. 48 e i jl i i 1= I HMEISI ' ' -hf; isai ci.lc utz 49 ' ailUlMiMMaMiMMBllIQlTi ' JaiMlTJTIfOT ' HTJli ' ' KMii ' MlUMnEHiiirrrrTiMt ' ctrci::::: ' ; ITliJjJJIijJfQiiii 1 1 ; ii (jj ijjTi ij Mjjj I in pj I i laujj LK MiijirLirniTT ' rLr Jir[nTnM i ' : aui ' L ' j Aiayj-y i ' li; |ij.

They asked no quarter nor gave none ; they went to the top smiling, and fell to the bottom with self satisfied frowns of disillusionment. In their first appearance before the student body and faculty, they scored a palpable hit — a bit too palpable, perhaps, but still a hit. This was in a George Washington program far different from the average hokus-pokus blather of years ago in that it showed the naughty side of Cherry Tree George ' s career. Misses Hallie Polk and Isabelle Utz, and Messrs. Grey Williams, Russell Walker and Jack Boone were those on the offensive and defensive. Notwithstanding all of this, the name of George Washington remains intact before the majority of the student body. This class was far from dead physically, and furnished a bunch of fiery Titans and Amazons to the Athletic Coaches. Five boys and five girls gave strength to the Basketball teams, and eight boys were among the pigskin chasers. W. L. Jones has the distinct honor of being the Captain for 1926. The various societies replenished their fast dwindling ranks with Fresh- men, and thus it is that the S. A. M. ' s, Forums, Kappas and Sigmas were able to go through with an excellent year in all of their lines of endeavor. I II 1 55 ijjjijfiijTriiTrriTjjTiVfiMijniijlTijiuiij ■.

A better school than ours cannot be found, so savs the song. While this school serves as a laboratory for the Education Classes in the College Department, it is operated always with the idea of doing that which is best for the children. There is constantly something doing at the Training School. Dur- ing basketball season, each afternoon the boys become very impatient before dismissal time, in their eagerness to get on the ball court. Many peppy games were enjoyed during the basketball season. Then when getting ready for the Field Meet the same situation existed. Twice each week the girls made us all hungry with the delicious samples they brought with them from their cooking classes, while an- other group of girls sewed away industriously, and the boys spent those same hours pleasantly and profitably in the College Manual Training Department. The first and second grades, along with the eighth grade Agriculture Class, took as their spring projects the beautifying of the inner courts — and planted and cultivated there two beautiful flower gardens. Ihe third grade, in line with the health-work throughout the school, built a Health Store as its project, and did a remarkable piece of work. Other projects with similar interests have been planned and carried out throughout the school. Intense work has been done in all eight grades along health lines. The Parent-Teacher Association bought a set of supplementary Health Readers for each grade in the school as recommended by Miss Sue Powers, our County Superintendent. During the month of April a Health Exhibit was put on which was well attended, and which demonstrated the progress that had been made in the school during the current year along health lines. Many programs of various kinds, such as Stunt Night performances, operettas, etc., were rendered during the year by the Training School children, and enjoyed by friendly audiences. Our Parent-Teacher organization is a most helpful, sympathetic, un- derstanding and efficient one. Its officers are deeply and unselfishly inter- ested in the welfare of the children, and each department functions effi- ciently. Well-prepared lunches are served daily from a sanitary kitchen operated by these mothers. Among other branches of the Parent-Teacher Association we may mention particularly the splendid work which the Pre-School Mothers ' Study Circle does. One of the best illustrations of its accomplishments is the Kiddie Band, composed of children from 3 to 6 years of age. This little band makes good music, as does the first grade Kiddie Band, of whom we are justly proud. Any write-up of the Training School, however brief, would be in- complete without reference to the Blue Bonnet Girl Scout Troop 13. This troup has shown itself to be prepared and ready at all times to do its good turn many times daily, and has become an integral part of the school. But all of the outside activities are only of secondary consideration. The chief and ultimate aim of all the teaching and outside work with these more than five hundred children is to give to the community well- rounded citizens who can fill their respective places in society, creditably and happily, and can become positive factors in its improvement. 60 j: f- ' iiii.MniiiiiiiiiniTi uiiurioi.TrrrnWhiiiiiirr iTirriTiTiiiTiTnTiTiiii i ; OTiIlliJJiLUiJ.ii!JiILin!l!luiJjEiIii]iJjjjiM]i rOfDffiiiMEiMi ' iiJmiiSM ' Im[}iWS!!j::: ilMTIZZ Z3WJJIJJ i li.lllljl:ii|||itl i_,|,, ; •,,■! 1 11 I? g g fi First, Second, I ' hird, Fourth, Fifth (Jrades ■ ' I ' i.

This is the first year that we have had an organized team under the direction of a coach, and in spite of the fact that we lost most of our players through graduation, we hope to have a good team next year, and again play in the finals of the tournament. It is a hard job to pick the individual stars, as the entire team worked as a unit rather than individually. Captain Paul Wood, Harvey Albright and Hugh Tate Baker alternated at forward. Wood was the idol of the fans for his accu- rate shooting, and was the backbone of the team. Albright played a steady and consistent game throughout the season. Bernard Erwig was the one and only man for center, which position he played well, although at times Google became excited and lost his bearings. John Nayior, Howard Farrell and Baxter Kirkpatrick held down the guard positions well. Too much cannot be said of their work as it was a lucky man who got by them for a goal. §1 if -SBS K S S ■ ■ %, « «E--fes, Left to Right — Farrell, Erwig, Nayior, Albright, Kirkpatrick, Wood (c).

We have many reasons for such a prompting: in the first place, this will be our first summer to have a full twelve weeks ' quarter; in the second, the administration has gone to considerable expen- diture, both in time and money, to see to it that tlie ablest and most author- itative of instructors of the South might be provided for the students w ho attend ; and in the third place, no less than a dozen entirely new courses have been added over and above those of the regular school year. All these things make it possible for students coming to West Tennessee Teachers College this summer to receive unparalleled instruction, which will make for their being broader and more influential in the respective schools where they return to teach. Among the special instructors for the summer quarter we are pleased to announce the following: Mr. John C. Ransom, Rhodes Scholar and Associate Professor of English, Vanderbilt University; Mr. William R. Atkinson, Professor of Psychology and Education, Southwestern Univer- sity; Mr. E. C. Hollar, of the University of Missouri, and recently added to Teachers ' College faculty; Mr. S. E. Scates, who has been studying for the past year in Peabody College and Vanderbilt; Mr. P. H. Manning, formerly of the Science Department at Teachers ' College ; Mr. Elmore Holmes, of Crockett High School, Memphis; Miss Mary Leath, Super- visor of Primary Education in Memphis City Schools; Miss Ruby Batte, Supervisor of Primary Education in Shelby County; Miss Clementine Mon- ahan, Supervisor of Music in Memphis City Schools. Among the special courses offered in the summer of 1926 will be a course in Introduction to Education, a study of the Elementary Curric- ulum, Courses in Materials and Methods (English, Mathematics, Chem- istry, History, Home Economics, and Industrial Arts), Community Recrea- tion, Twilight Recreation, a course in Modern Fiction, and a course in Modern Poetry. For a more detailed account the summer bulletin will be supplied. I!i ' I 69 f fiTiTTm iJiTi fiTJ fM jVr ' Vi Tff rOTTm (TTm ' OTi I ' IT; mTiXI T 1 1! 1 iTi i ■ , ■ i ■ ii 1 1 ' .

The De Soto Staff takes pleasure in presenting to you the three college girls chosen as queens for their beauty and popularity. The Queens were selected by the students in the following manner: Nomina- tions were made by the student body at large at an assembly meeting. The names of the ten girls receiving the highest number of votes in this manner were then presented to the students as the Queen candidates. These candidates were voted on for a period of one month by the means of ballots soil! with the purchase of each Annual. The three highest at the end of the month were named as Teacher College Queens. Pictures of the three were sent to Mr. Gene Lewis, who kindly agreed to group them in the order of their beauty. The Queens appear in the order of Mr. Lewis ' selection. i6 Hall of Fame In every College and on every Campus, whether in social leader- ship, campus-courses, class room achievements, literary attainment, ar- tistic ability, or athletic excellency, there are always a few outstanding students and instructors in the respective fields referred to. It was to give recognition to this fact that the students, using the method of voting by ballot, selected those whose pictures appear in the Hall of Fame. We present them to you for your approval and trust that you will agree with the students in their selection. ii Feature The Feature Section is an innovation in the De Soto, given so as to show a fuller picture of the School and Campus, and the institutions of Memphis with which the students are closely associated. 76 Maiujijjrt §! if ' iiTi tiijfm ii ' ,;ijiTi|Tij i iTrui ' ' V ' n iVj ' uiirn WSMlMMWy ; J nf,TTiTiTi i ' M)iniHiwriiJiriTi ' nnTrrrrriiiTpr!T7riTiTTi 3 I 11 i!TTn(Xn;ijTijH,Tiiri((iTijiiiirnri,iiM(Mi,HjjiMMjiTj::i;jim • t, - . - . feeisa sj ' Sl:.. __£ : ' ?f ' i«?S r« mM i fe V J i «;i?

It should be killed. ' And all around my throat he cut deep gashes, so that I died. Death is the portion of trees, for men are our conquerors; 1 Yet it is not hard, if, by dying, one can become part of a lordly dream. When a huge mountain pine is borne down to the shore to be fitted into the timbers of a ship, A quiver of delight runs through all its singing needles At the thought of meeting the gray sea. And there is joy in the heart of an Oak tree When it is riven into beams for a ceiling that will reflect the red firelight and echo the laughter of happy children. But t(j ilie uselessly is shameful ! Here must I stand in rotting misery, Scorned by man, , Forsaken by the birds, £ Until the storm shall have pity on me. And shall seize me in his strong fingers and hurl me headlong. But there is coming a time to this man who slew me, This murderer of trees. - .. ' There will be a day when his own friends will take him and shut him up in the heart of a tree, I Antl turn him over to the worms. And then he w ill know how I feel.

M. Gate, Instructor of Music, and the members of the Music Classes, for the entertainment of the students and faculty of the college. As in former years, the operetta was a huge success, revealing the hidden talent of our institution, thus making it a regrettable fact that the operetta was produced at the close of school instead of the first, for many such entertainments could have been held had it only been known that this remarkable talent was available. The story was indeed interesting, portraying the life of the people of the court during the spring festivals, and their actions toward the American tourist. The action takes place on an imaginary island near the coast of Nor- mandy, ruled by the Duke of Beaujolais. The principal town is Beau- fleur, where a spring festival is in progress when the story begins. An American yachting party arrives and is given a cordial welcome by the Duke. Love affairs develop between the American gentlemen and the maidens of the village, and the court. But as all things do, it turned out happily, for the gentlemen yachters were willing enough to win the for- giveness of their fair traveling companions, who had been terribly neg- lected while the love affairs between their escorts and the village maids were in full swing. charactp:rs Augustus — Duke of Beaujolais A.

Mast True to the traditions of this organization, the activities of the Society during the year 1925-26 have been directed towards the goal set forth in the Constitution, which is to advance our ability and knowledge of public speaking, debating, oratory and parliamentary practice. Although the emphasis has been placed on the literary development and advancement, the social phase of our Society has not been neglected. There have been many social events of pleasure. The outstanding ones were the reception at which the Forums honored the Kappas, the delightful Valentine Party at which the Kappas entertained the Forums, and the Annual Banquet, which was given this year at the Hotel Peabody. Throughout the year at the weekly meetings, questions of vital impor- tance have been discussed pro and con, and it is the training we received at these meetings, and in the preparation therefor, which enabled us to put forward such able representatives, E. V. Underhill and R. E . White, in public debate with the representatives of the Seymour A. Mynders Club. The members of the Forum Debating Society of 1925-26 have been particularly blessed. It has been their happy privilege to put forth an effort to raise the standard of their clul) in keeping with the higher standards of the college during this, the transition, year, and to more nearly approach the goal of high attainments which has been set for all who would be worthy of the name of Forum. 91 ' k.l 3S ' . . .

And join our hearts and hands for its fulfillment. •G So, with the passing years, In sun and shadow may our comradeship Grow ever stronger, truer.

Wooten Ernest Grisham Raymond Morton Buford ' ' allace Norburne Gwynn Wm. Moss Kipling in his great Recessional has intimated the doubt, Lest we forget. ' There are things in all our lives we try to forget. But the thing the Seymour A. Mynders Club is proudest of is tradition. Our pride is truly justified. Since she is named for one of the greatest educators in the state we are proud of our name. We cherish fond memories. We glory in present associations. And the rosy future looms most brightl ' , and in rising reveals such possibilities as cause us lo palpitate with the thrill of enthusiasm. Our day dream is not one of fond illu- sions, neither is it an hallucination of unattainable hopes. The joy of any am- bition lies in the realization of that desire. As the club has done such wonderful things in the past, and as history repeats itself, we are assured of attainments in the future of which we never dreamed. Our beacon star — our Venus of brightest light — our greatest joy, all have been in one, in whose great loving heart there has been room for us all. Whose days have been filled with labor for us, and whose nights have been rosy dreams for the success of each member of the two clubs. Is it a wonder that the great love of Mother Mynders is reciprocated? Is it a wonder that we love her, her who holds the queen of hearts? May our love expand and in expanding raise us to the ideal that she has set for us. The success of the Club has been phenomenal. Success lies not only in attainment, but in efforts to reach perfection. The united effort of the club for general improvement has been the feature of the year ' s work. Of course our social calendar has been well filled. The type of entertainments have been representative of the club. No greater compliment could be paid to the sponsors of the different entertainments. The entertainments have been as varied as they have been en- joyable. The ultimate aim of them all was never dimmed — that aim is to fit the individual to a place in the society of our nation. But all our time is not taken in a round of merry-making. Consider the efforts of the debaters. This year is the first time the Forum-Sam debate has been held, but the club was quick to respond to the invitation of the Woman ' s Association, proving our confidence in our forensic ability. Bv the preliminary elimination method, Enoch Mitchell and John Hall Jacobs were chosen to represent our club. In this institution, there shoidd be no criterion but that of individual worth. Our club does not believe in suppressing the individual. But by hard-earned merits she has taken important places in the various activities of the institution. We are well represented in the Parnassian Club, the Y. M. C. A., and in the different classes. She was represented on the football field, the basketball court, and on the baseball diamond. Say, did you notice when the honor roll students were called to the stage a Sam led all the rest? The initial letters of the three virtues, scholarship, athletics and morajity spells the club that stands for the highest ideals of the institution of which she is a vital part. In a loud voice Data proclaims our possession of scholarship and athletic excellence. Who has questioned our morality? Then, Come on, all true heroes, All for you we dare — It ' s a hard task to beat the S. A. M. ' s, For our Club ' s right there. John Hall Jacobs. 112 ;t!ifiat ' jiU ' .-..-i:.

IV. C. A. Cabinet During the school year of 1925-26 the Y. W. C. A. has enjoyed the largest enrollment of any year since its establishment in this institu- tion. And well it should, for the teachings of the organization, together with its social functions and friendly social atmosphere, make it the most desirable of all girls ' organizations to which any college girl could wish to belong. The Y. W. C. A. has been remarkably successful this year in all of its undertakings. Especially in Vesper have the girls shown the results of the teachings of the Y. W. C. A., revealing their sincereness at heart and doing the best they can to teach the Holy Words of the Bible. In all other things they have been equally successful, making school life at all times easier for the girl who is away from home for the first year. They work on and on toward a goal, and when that goal is reached, do not cease, but set another goal and work to higher things attaiti.

The school, as a whole, has co-operated to make this book a success, giving just honor to that great explorer, Hernando De Soto. We, the staff, have made a conscientious effort to give to the friends of the college a book which combines beauty and a presentation of facts, so combined as to uphold the literary standard of the institution.

' ' ' U:U ' lr:e_T ' III j.MUii: ; De Soto Nearly four hundred years ago, in April, 1341, Don Hernando de Soto, grandee of Badajos, Spain, army officer and explorer, stood, with a little band of soldier adventurers on Chickasaw Bluffs, where Memphis now stands, and gazed with wondering eyes upon the great Father of Waters rolling majestically from the unknown north t(j the unknown south, the first white men to behold this sight with which we are so familiar. To these men, accustomed to the narrow and insignificant streams and barren hillsides of their native land, it must have seemed a wonderful panorama which lay before them. If the Columbian Tower, the Ex- change Building, Main Street, and all the busy whirl of Memphis could be suddenly transformed into a phantom city, like Camelot, and be swept away, we might picture this scene for ourselves: the green bluffs carpeted with bluets and frail wild violets; a background of virgin forest — -oak, hickory, elm, sweetgum, their branches swaying in the delicate gray-green lacework of April foliage, with here and there a misty purple mass of red- bud or the dryad silver of dogwood showing through the dim wood aisles where the mocking birds sang even as they do today ; over all the warm blue flush of the April sky; and, before the little group of Spaniards, the great brown river sweeping on with its powerful current at flood stage, so wyde, quaintly says the ancient chronicler, that a tree on the opposite shore look ' d as if it were knee high. It seems altogether fitting that we who are students in a college located so near this historic spot, should name our Annual in honor of the famous explorer who sleeps beneath the waters of the river he discovered, and, in so doing, should dedicate it to the spirit of discovery typified by De Soto, that spirit which expresses itself most nobly in the search for truth. We have only to look around us to see that the greatest voyages of dis- covery, the most vital of explorations, are yet to be made. Geographically speaking, the world has become very small ; but the very suddenness of the developments in the physical and mechanical world which have brought humanity so close together that the nations of the earth are still dazed, bewildered, confused by the impact, has widened tremendously the realm of exploration which is peculiarly ours: the human mind, the relations of man to man, the spiritual development of the race. Here gloom the dark, broad seas of adventure, more tempting than Ulysses ever knew; here are jungles of ignorance, hiding monsters of misery and crime more terri- ble than all the dragons of old; here are deserts of prejudices and misunder- standings and hate; marshes of false standards of living which breed dead- lier epidemics than those of fever and malaria; and here are whole conti- nents of human energies, lying fallow, futile and untilled, wasted because undirected or misdirected. What greater challenge to achievement has the world known ! To us, as college students who have had a vision of life and its possi- bilities, is given the opportunity of leadership in the common adven- ture of mankind, the search for truth in all its varied manifestations. Each of us may be a De Soto — a greater than a De Soto ; for if we are faithful t(j our trust we may be like those who, passing through the Valley of Baca, make it a well, and come at last to a glimpse of the River of Life, the Eternal Purpose of Love and Law, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, which is the finite Universe and infinite Humanity. Lily Peter. 138 r:,:.o The Class of 1926 As I pass through our wide college halls, And glance at the dear, familiar walls, The thought comes to me that another year The class of ' 26 will not be here. The teachers will see our faces daily no more; A new and a different group they ' ll stand before; But sometimes the new faces will fade away. And in fancy they ' ll glimpse us as we are today. We shall remember them, too, as over the world we travel, And the truths they so patiently helped us unravel ; No matter on what seas our sails are set. What you taught us, dear teachers, we shall never forget. And the president, who has always been our friend, Ready and willing his best efforts to lend. Can never know all the good he has done, And how we shall treasure his memory, each one. But the present is happy as happy can be. And the future looks bright and glowing to me; Surely each of us will write his name On some high scroll in a hall of fame. An optimist puts shadows and gloom to rout. Let us sing and rejoice, and have not a doubt. For we are the class of ' 2b, the first of degree From the 1 eachers College of West Tennessee.

If0jliii!iyiiii!i iMMiliMMMMMWMMMMSMliiMMIi M College Students and Culture Jack H. Boone The yearly tirades on culture by propounders of supercilious hokum; the monthly blather slung out in protection of crumby traditions; the weekly worry over problems of little pith and moment, yes, and the daily, hourly, minutely, secondly slander of things worth while, have so characterized the life of the average college student that it has reached a state too lamentable to even bear passing mention. These so-called students who sponsor ignorance feel their vital impor- tance. They have found a soil of richness untold, and are springing forth irrele- vant hocus-pocus in thousands of directions. All which fall foul of them are drawn into their whirlpool of destructive rapidity. They see no value in the arts; they read nothing into steps toward culture. They know cultivation — not of mind — but of corn. Through endless battles with thought, they arrive at a summary that all not tangible is rot. These art-pagans totter beneath ideas, but rather from their presence than from their weight. This web-brained vacuous horde seeks ever to dislodge and infest the whole of the kingdom of the muses with more beef than thought. They are happy; for is not ignorance bliss? They delight in deriding inspiration. The wind-topped wonders of past and present are to them so many feathers in an atmosphere of cyclonic terror. They deem the music of life — the poetry of love — as unreal, useless. Their greatest fear is that the good ship Bunk may spring a leak. Aye, ideas know them not; ideas are not for the contemplation dodgers with all of their unpremeditated hokum; they know not the yowlers who yelp unprece- dented slip-slop to gulping Philistines. Undoubtedly these genius servitors and inspiration givers were not created for these anomalous pretenders; but rather, they are the valets of a fast age; not a present fast, necessary, but the fast age of all time. They know no bounds; for can the imagination be bound? Yes, it seems that this stoning of aesthetics — this jeering at all which stands for worthwhile existence — this throwing of garrulous billingsgate at everything beautiful, is something unpardonable. The fight for the cultural values of life, it appears, will ever be on: Byron, Shelley and Keats — all died for these. Must these values, in turn, fall foul of a potpourri of bleating, insipid booboisie? Never! Rather let Neptune, with a wan shake of his bearded face, call forth the cohorts of the sea, and with a mighty sweep of enveloping water annihilate the entire mass. However, at this rife moment, the original philosophising mountebank arises to ask: Why do you continually thump the skulls of these so-called students when you have nothing to offer? (That one is as old as the Heidelberg formation — it has Noah ' s beard and Chief Wild Horse ' s wrinkles) — what to offer? I offer the arts — which are free to your use — and, the arts, in turn, give everything. Nothing to offer? What if nothing were offered? Would it not be nice to be relieved of the superfluous pooh-pooh which envelops all paths to concentration? Does a man just released from prison ask for something in its place? Listen, I know in what your fears reside — I know: You are afraid that you will be forced to think; you want that old torn and tattered remnant of an intellect to remain intact, for doesn ' t an imbecile hold to his shaggy clothes? But does a dog wish to keep his fleas? No, I speak not as Zarathustra in the wilderness. I profess no undiluted slip- slop which cures all ills. I only point to a path of toil — a path for all of us — toil productive of joy. The high school boy and girl — never will they reach a more brilliant stage — begin early an eschewing of knowledge which carries them into higher institu- tions, Romeo-aping anomalies and flapperish nonentities. Traditions surround them as a cloud. What was good enough for pa and ma is good enough for us. They scoff at culture, and outside of a few dances wherein their inner brain catches the meaningless lilt of low orchestration, they rest on their oars as self- satisfied as the cat by the fireside. Yes, outside of a few dances, a number of bridge parties (O, vacuous pastimes), they ' re just elemental slush — superficial pastry. What then can you, or I, or the bones of our primordial ancestors say when we are accused of being ignoramuses on leaving college? The old policy has been to yowl and yowl and yowl. Why not eliminate the bunk — toss it to the leeward of space? Prove to them that we have learned more than mere backwash? Then sit off to one side, and watch the reaction. 140 3 cm.

In these two years he has given of his best for tlie teams represent- ing the institution. And now at the beginning of tiie third year it looks as if his efforts will be rewarded with such teams as his excellent coaching must develop. Zach Curlin gleaned the major portion of his athletic knowledge from Dan iVlcGugin at Vanderbiit. He entered Vandy in 191(1, after prepping at Christian Brothers College and Webb School. It was in his second year that his chance came. He made the most of it and for three years was one of the best football players in the south. After finishing college he coached Castle Heights to a championship. He then coached various Memphis schools, and it was due to his success here that he was named athletic direc- tor of the Teaciiers College. In his two years here he has been liandi- capped by lack of material, but has turned out winning basketball and baseball teams. Coach Curlin anticipates a year of plentv in 1926, and we know that his efforts will be rewarded by a winning team. The Blue and CJray is glad to have him as their coach again next year and pledge him tlieir losaltv. Coach Leo Lindsey Coach Leo Lindsey started lier athletic ca- reer at Hiune-Fogg, where she was a star on their crack basketball sextette. She received her college training at Peabody College where, for two years, she was the defensive luminary of the Peabody six. It was while she was a member of the team that the held the South- ern title, and her work at guard was instrumen- tal in their winning it. Miss Lindsey started her first year as a coach in a sensational manner, when she coached the West Tennessee Teachers sextette to Southern honors. It was her first experience as a coach, but she handled the place like a veteran, and developed the fastest team ever organized in Memphis. The Tigresses are, indeed, fortunate in having such a coach as Miss Lindsey, and too much praise cannot be given her for her good work in the season that has just passed into history. 143 II)I,MI, ' ;MIMI;I, ' - - — ■;■, Jiii ' liiHllili!iliHii: ' i| — .

The Football Season When Coach Zach Cuiliii sounded the call for football practice, he found a squad of approximately twenty candidates for the 1925 football team. Coach Curlin had five veterans of the 1924 Timers to build his team around. The new material was fairly promising but rather inexpe- rienced, from the standpoint of games won and lost the season was not a huge success, yet many promising players were developed and pros- pects for a winning team next year were greatly increased. JONESBORO COLLEGE 6; TEACHERS 6 The game was played on a regular summer day and the players were handicapped by the excessive heat. The Tigers made a creditable showing and held the Collegians to a tie. UNION 50; TEACHERS 13 The Tigers entered the fray handicapped by injuries, but gave the highly touted Bulldogs a scare in the first half, when they scored two touchdowns. Lack of reserves spelled disaster for the Teachers. JONESBORO AGGIES 19; TEACHERS Coach Curlin ' s charges put up a great fight against the superior weight of the Aggies, but were overwhelmed in the last period. HALL-MOODY 15; TEACHERS 6 A muddy field and the breaks of the game cost the Tigers their fourth straight game. The Tigers put up a great fight, but played in hard luck throughout the struggle. HENDRIX 58; TEACHERS 6 The Tigers were simply pitted against a heavier and more experi- enced team, but staged a hard fight against superior odds. BETHEL 7; TEACHERS Our boys staged a great battle and played a fine brand of ball, but were beaten in the final period of play when Bethel managed to put over a touchdown. £1 I i M. T. S. T. C. 54; TEACHERS A superior team trained to perfection were the opponents that the Tigers faced at Murfreesboro. The fine work of the Tigers ' backfield was, as usual, the feature of the game. SOUTHWESTERN 31; TEACHERS 6 Fighting with the true Tiger spirit, the Teachers were defeated in the last half by Southwestern in the Tlianksgiving classic. Although de- feated, the Tigers won the admiration of the spectators by their game fight and gave the Lynx a real scare when they marched down the field for a touchdown in the opening period. 148 a ' iiill ' rliiMllllill ' llillllMlliHliitriHJii mnMELfniiiJi ' ' ii.

The Tigers opened the season with two well played games at Jones- boro against Jonesboro College. The playing of the Tigers in these games w as above criticism. The team functioned with machine-like precision. The hurling was all that could be expected, and was supported by sen- sational fielding. In the second game the Tigers found their batting eye and hit the ball in great shape. The schedule has not been completed, but return games with Jones- boro have been arranged. A series w ' ill be played Southwestern, in addi- tion to games with other colleges of this section.

Ten games were plaj ed by the varsity, winning five and losing five. How- ever, the season was successful in that Coach Curlin succeeded in devel- oping several promising young players who will wxar the Blue and Gray again next season. The Tigers dropped the first two games of the season to Lambuth College and the Memphis Triangles. Later in the season Lambuth was defeated by a vastly improved Tiger machine. The Teachers hit their stride and defeated Jonesboro College in two games. Bethel College was the next victim of a smooth running Tiger quintette. The games with Southwestern, the Teachers ' traditional rivals, fur- nished some of the fastest basketball witnessed in Memphis this season, however the Tigers dropped two straight to the Lynx. In a two-game series the Teachers broke even with the powerful Jonesboro Aggie quintette. _, v«r x Yes, the season just closed was successful from a standpoint of sports- manship, games won, and players developed. Too much praise cannot be given Coach Zach Curlin, who worked in the face of difficulties that would have discouraged nian coaches who do not possess the optimism that Coach Curlin does. 19 Basketball 25 At Memphis Teachers 21 At Memphis Teachers 22 At Memphis Teachers 14 At Jackson Teachers 44 At Memphis Teachers 21 At Memphis Teachers 37 At Memphis Teachers 19 At Memphis Teachers 21 At Memphis Teachers 34 At Jonesboro Teachers 21 Lambutli 26 Jonesboro 13 Jonesboro 5 Lambuth 35 Triangles 41 Bethel 16 Southwestern 31 Southwestern 35 Jonesboro A.

Basketball 26 The Teachers ' Seconds, playing in the Jack Bondurant league, had a successful season. They were runners-up to the Strand team. The team was composed of men who were not quite fast enough for varsity competition, but yet were capable of playing a good brand of ball. The second team has several young players who will be ready for faster competition next season, and who should give the regulars a hard fight for a place on the Tiger five. The team was composed of Robinson and Bass, forwards; Grisham and Moose, guards; Davis, center, and Peiser, forward. Top Row — Davis, Humphreys, Coach C iilin, Moose, Fisher. Bottom Row — Grills, Williams, Rohinson, (Jrisham, Bass. 159 ;Ti7n ' 19 Girls ' Basketball 26 Undefeated tliis season, the basketball sextette of the West Ten- nessee Teachers College is in a tie for State and Southern honors. The Tigresses have just emerged from the most successful season they have ever enjoyed. During the season they defeated the fastest teams in this section, closing the season in a blaze of glory. They tied the brilliant Middle Tennessee Teachers College six for State and Southern honors. The game brought forth the most dazzling exhibition of girls ' basketball ever witnessed in A lemphis, when the Tigresses staged a brilliant rally in the closing minutes of play to knot the count. Opening the season with a brilliant victory over the powerful Ole Miss sextette, the Tigresses left in their wake eleven of the South ' s fastest teams in their triumphant march to the Southern title. Coach Leo Lindsey ' s call for practice found three veterans from the 1 25 team on hand for the initial workout. in addition to these were a group of former high school luminaries who showed unusual ability in handling the ball. Due to the ability of their coach, the team wa soon functioning with machine-like precision. Well balanced in every department of play, they constituted an invincible sextette — a team that was forced to extend itself on few occasions. Although the Tigresses never failed to live up to their name on the court, they always played a clean game and never forgot that sports- manship is the dominant factor in athletics. They could always be de- pended on to give a clean exhibition of the cage game, one that left a good impression on the spectators. In speaking of the great record of the Tigresses, too much praise cannot be given Coach Leo Lindsey who, by her untiring efforts, made it possible for the girls to win Southern honors. Regardless of the situation, Coach Lindsey never gave up, and no matter how dark the outlook she was alwa s there fighting. It was her splendid example that kept the girls fighting with the spirit tliat every wearer of the Blue and Gray is endowed with. e At Memphis Teachers 25 At Memphis Teachers 5-1 At Oxford ..: Teachers 21 At Memphis Teachers 44 At Jackson Teachers 72 At Jackson Teachers 37 At Martin Teachers 66 At Jonesboro Teachers 31 At Memphis Teachers 53 At Memphis Teachers 43 At Memphis Teachers 34 At Memphis Feachers 31 160 Ole Miss 19 Union 7 Ole Miss 20 Arkansas Teachers... 18 Union 8 Lambuth 22 Hall- Mood V 10 Jonesboro A.

When they played the Magnolia State, They won the game first rate; When they wrestled with Arkansas, They made her hum and haw. In our own West Tennesseee They hold a championship degree ; But our State has more than West, So we challenged the Middle for a test. Thus on the ninth of March We took from them the starch. And rather than gamely die, They quit with the game a tie. This leaves State honors still in store — Perhaps not only this, but more, Maybe a Southern championship at large We ' ll yet win with Coach Lindsey in charge. % % % It is with pride that I repeat, Our girls have nowhere met defeat.
