With ; the best basketball team in the history of the college, which won the Mississippi Valley Conference title, together with a winning base- ball team, the reward that has long been due his tireless efforts was manifested. With a good neucleus re- turning, 1 929- 1 930 should be the biggest year of all. Ethel Johnson, in her first sea- son won a place in the hearts of the students 4.. •|r-i -.4 s ' ' k and -■ f fans. With I a good year in ath- , letic competition this sea- son, she should be greater in the next campaign. Dr. Cecil R. Maclaughlin, known as Doc, had the whole-hearted support of every man on the field. We look forward to his coming next football season. Willie Mount has done more than anyone else to put the Teachers ' teams on the map. His assistance to the coaches and as a publicity has meant much to the institution in an athletic way, 85 agent J. r i:: ' - 03 ATHLETIC COMMITTEE i R. W. Johnson S. E. SCATES The Athletic Committee is composed of the coaching staff and Mr. R. W. John- son, chairman, Mr. S. E. Scates, and Mr. P. L. Armstrong.

Though all the coveted titles were not won there were some very gratifying features of the year. With a fine first string , but lacking in abundance of capable reserve strength, the Tigers started the schedule off with five straight decisive victories but injuries to the regulars made for a weakening of the line-up and loss of two of the most valued games. Not too much can be said of the veterans who were the mainstays of the Tiger eleven, most notable among those who played their last year are: Dubb Jones, doughty halfback; Slick Headdon, captain and directing genius, and Robertson, the hand andy man. With thirteen letter men back in 1929, there will be a staple group on which to found a better Tiger team. Captain-Elect Jimmy Graham should be a vast help in tutoring the new men and the brightest forecast is given for the coming season. Next season ' s schedule has not been consummated as yet but new teams will be on the Tiger ' s menu next fall and such gridiron crews as Little Rock College and Hendrix will again meet the Teachers. The quota of Mississippi Valley Conference teams will also be on the list. 89 iTiTiiimrimimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriimiiMirMiMMrtTi iiMiinn nrmnp lt= J ■c:t= cd. o •X SLICK HEADDEN Captain Slick really steered the ship well. Scarcely carrying the ball but con- tent to let his colleagues win their spurs, Headden was a big reason why the Teach- ers had the best team in years. He was a versatile man and played at end part of the games and directed an aerial game that daz- zled the foe. JIxMMIE GRAHAM Captain-Elect Graham. A suitable suc- cessor for the inimitable Slick . Jim played a heads-up game at tackle and he gained prestige with every encounter. He could knife through to get the ball carrier behind the line frequently and he was a thorn when they tried to pass him. 90 9 HOSS GULLETT Hoss, the Boy Scout, rode ' em when they tried to get around his terminal and they didn ' t try often. When it came to grabbing passes, well, Slick tried to make him miss but he caught ' em anyway. DUBB JONES Playing his last year, Dubb was the star of the team. He played in every game, filled every place in the backfield and did them better than could be asked for. We ' ll sure miss Dubb. SAM JOHNSON Sam got started badly. With a bad shoulder and sickness, he snapped out of it and served the Tigers with a serious threat when he was in there. He usually gained when he smacked the middle section. fn ,,! u-c, i ( v !?% T «t EUGENE FULGHUM Speedy got that way by being so fleet of foot. A willing worker and full of fight he got his man behind the line when his feet cooperated with his mind. STEVE MI SKA The Bridgeport Yankee showed the wise acres a thing or two ' bout playing the wing position. When they rounded his end the opposing back felt lucky. This was his first year. R. E. TRUDELL Rudy was no sheik at playing guard and the player against him knew it. Re- liable at all stages of the game, he made a good man. iu i.-. C- Htf 92 FRANK MAGOFFIN Fresh from high school, Mac wen a place from the start and held it down. With three more seasons ahead of him we feel fixed at his sector. PUCKETT ROBERTSON If a Ford was to be tackled, Puckett would stop it. Fast and shifty he did his task satisfactorily at all times. He leaves us this season, we ' re sorry. ROBERT PORTER The boy from the big leagues was the most versatile man in the line. Starting at center and taking turns at tackle and guard, Bob stayed in there and persevered. r% . T 1 m IRA JAMES ' Hornbeak was a hard nut to crack for the backs that attempted to go over his place. Full of fight, a fine tackier and good at interference — what more do you wish for. BILL BIDWELL Bill made up the shock troops but when he played he shocked the opposition that started at him. He was from the show me state and he did it. LESLIE MOORE With a record of never having had on a football uniform before, Leslie won his T and surprised them all by his showing. With three years to go he will be great. .-, , , — :r3ea mii ' ' -iSKemeM: - 94 I r M FLOYD DETCHON Detchon served on the reserve squad but he showed much in his attempts. We expect lots of him next year. GILBERT HOPPER Hopper did plenty in his first season. When he hit the line it was for a gain. With plenty of fight he ' ll be valuable in the next campaign. D. PANDOLFI A speed merchant who could sweep the ends was Pandolfi ' s big asset. Though he was a light weight he made heavy impressions. 3 I H TEm. lEACHERJ ss-.-s s. r:jss«ri j ?« • Ellen Baird World ' s free-throw cham pion, for two successive years, Senior Girls Division, with a score of fifty-eight out of a possible sixty. 11 96 i a f 0 GIRLS BASKETBALL Though not boasting of as fine a record as they made in the previous year, the Tigresses had a satisfactory season. Miss Ethel Johnson served as coach for the year and her efforts were pleasing to students. Her inaugural year is indicative of greater things in the coming annals of girl ' s athletics. The Tigresses won the city title this year and defeated the Delta State Teachers ' College sextette, claimants to all the honors in these parts therefore the honors were not without recognition. With much promising material returning the 1930 team promises to be a hummer. To review the play of the ones that played their last year, only praise can be given them for their efforts. Dot Wood, Mary Sue Moody, Vera Hoover, and Lillian Tucker are the graduates and they leave places that will be hard to fill. They all played capably and won a place in the esteem of the Teachers College students and fans. h 97 ' L,- ' . LOUISE HANNA Louise started her college career with a big noise. She fit in well with the other forward and her half was a large one. OPHELIA HORSMAN Ophelia had a lot of worries, being the captain, but carried them all well to fill the jumping center place for the second season. They couldn ' t outjump her. DOT WOOD Dot was siciv during the first of the year and didn ' t show at her best but at Murray she was the mainstay of the Tigresses. This is her last year but we wish she had several others with us. 98 MARION SCRIVNER Marion Scrivner was the most improved player of the year. She helped make the guard sector the strongest in these parts and her opponent could not score a cripple by her. She ' ll be back for more. MARY SUE MOODY Squeeky talked little but did much in her last year. You can ' t forget the Delta State game at the new gym and you ought to hear about those games in the Missis- sippi Valley tournament. She was best girl at Murray. MARY SKINNER Mary was the best guard here about last year and she didn ' t lose any of her effec- tiveness this year. She was nicknamed leech ' cause she stayed on her forward. We ' re glad she has two more seasons. 99 =7 ' ' n ' C r O o o u Q 2; S U S ►J O Co z z u Q Q z o CD a, S o h z o q; O K u o U ss ' ■ Co P.! lOO J v-- ;-, fVjj FLOYD DETCHON Detchon has two more years and they will be two Regular years unless we miss our guess. A fine dribbler and a dangerous shot from the floor, Dutch showed ' em plenty in his attempts. ED THOMPSON Captain Ed was good enough to be the All-Mississippi Valley center. Steady at all times and an uncanny passer, he sacrificed many easy shots to give his men easier ones. He also has two more years. BILL McCALMAN Bill is a freshman in rating but a veteran as a player. He is a fine long range shot and guarded hostile forwards to the ground. There need be no worry about one guard place for the coming season. lOI ■ ' . ■r . Joi IRA JAMES Ira got to show his stuff only as a reserve this season but watch him on the next year ' s champs. P ' orwards have a hard time scoring by him and he can sink ' em, too. STEVE MI SKA Steve takes the cake for handling the oval. He is the clown and the player of the squad. Much is expected of him in ' ag- ' jo. HOSS GULLETT Hoss the back shot artist. Hoss showed ' em how to cage the ball at Murray — he will be ' tomaine for opposing teams. DUBB JONES When it comes to taking the ball off the backboard, Dubb has ' em all beat. Fighting from start to finish, he was a big reason why the Tigers are Miss. Valley Champs. 1 02 I ! ' ! SLICK HEADDEN Slick ' s cleverness put the Teachers ahead many times in their winnings. When Slick passed the opponents wondered ' here the oval was going for he had ' em out- guessed. He ' ll be missed. MILTON MASEY A ball hawk is Masey ' s cognomen. Masey played hard from the opening whistle and a better floor man will be hard to find. He sank the oval when the necessary tallies were needed. RABBITT EVANS Rabbitt was just too fast for the opposition. When he shot it usually meant two points and when he dribbled it meant that he was headed for two points. He takes off high scoring honors. 103 Top Row — Armstrong, Johnson, Miska, Mount, Ramsey, McMahan, Coach Curlin. Seroiid Rmr — Thompson, Jones, Gullett, Headden. Rultom Row — MaseV, Cunningham, Evans, Moore, Walker. BASEBALL Baseball prospects are the brightest that have ever been forecasted for the West Tennessee Teachers nine. With a team of veterans in all the major positions and with many freshmen showing form that is deserved of a regular place, this season augurs to be a winning one for the wearers of the Blue and Gray. Walker and Headdon are assisted at the pitching duties by Pandolfi and Dale. 1 homp.son, Pugh and McMahan are endeavoring at first. Masey, Evans and GuUett are lined up for second, short and third respectively and Miska, and Ramsey trying to break up this combination. In the outfield, Jones, Mount, Sam Johnson, Hobart Johnson and Moose arc providing a lively struggle. Haney is working to dislodge Cunningham and Moore from the backstop jobs. 104 FEATURES v_ ' g m ■ • «r cCouiseJCessenberiy MOST BEAUTIFUL GIHJL ' siisaii ' yC ' T ' : ' .

I We believe that thinking people should ponder these truths Public Utilities render services that are essential to mod- ern living standards. These services directly contribute to the convenience and comfort of people hourly each day. They have raised n living standards, brought us up to a new plane of material existence ; and are, in fact the agencies by which modern living standards are maintained. Without these services, present-day conditions would be turned backward half a century, and we would revert to the days of the tallow candle and the ox-drawn cart. In addition to their contribution to the convenience and comfort of people so constantly, utilities are economic factors of important worth to their communities — stim- ulating channels of trade and business activities with their large pay-rolls and immense purchases of supplies, as well as being large tax-payers helping to defray expenses of government. These are facts that educated people should understand. Memphis Power Light Co.

If so, state how long you have been so? Are you subject to fits, and do you have more than one at a time? What is your precise fiting wate? Did you ever have any ancestors? If so, how much ? Do you ever have night mares? Are you married or single, or are you a bachelor? Have you ever committed suicide? If so, how did it effect you? After his answering the above questions like a man, in the affirmative, the slick, little, fat, old feller, w-ith gold spectacles on, told him that he was insured for life and probably would remain so for years. Albert thanked him, smiled, and retired. Draughon ' s Business College MAIN AT COURT ENTRANCE W.

There came to him a young man who had spent much but got little, and said: Tell me. Wise One, what shall I do to receive the most from that which I spend. Hakeem answered: A thing that is bought or sold has no value unless it contains that which cannot be bought or sold. Look for the Priceless Ingredient. But what is the Priceless Ingredient, asked the young man? Spoke the Wise One: My Son, the Priceless In- gredient of every product in the market place is the Honor and Integrity of him who makes it.
