N. Oldham It is altogether fitting that a yearbook, while recording a year ' s activity of our college, should devote a bit of space to the future as well; for it is the future for which we have been preparing, and perhaps in which we have too much been living. We exist always in the present, but we have the happy privilege of at any time living in the past, in the present, or in the future. Happiest is he who knows to spend his life amongst the three so that he neither loses himself in past or future, nor shuts his eyes to both and lives without profit of past experience or preparation for future life. Four years ago West Tennessee State Teachers College conferred for the first time the bachelor ' s degree. Prior to that time this institution existed as a normal school with a reputation which brought in students from even neighboring states. Since that time the enrollment has increased, the faculty has been enlarged, more and more courses have been offered, and a comprehensive building program has been, and still is, under way. Our name has been shortened to a few syllables, and the newer modern spirit of progress, with its attendant concession to convenience, which is con- ducive to not only physical comfort but to intellectual growth and enjoyment, has been felt throughout the personnel of the college group. Now we are ready, at the end of the regular 1930 session, to look forward with a clearer eye, and with fewer clouds on the horizon. We feel that the spirit of the student body, so negative and inconsistent at times, has come around to the realization that, after all, this is our college, and what it is or is to be depends on the student body more than on any one other factor. The spirit of carping and rivalry has given away to a spirit of tolerance and a desire to leave off petty quibblings in favor of a new and delicious camaraderie. We hope that this spirit of tolerance, and this realiza- tion that the college is for the students, and in a large measure is built by the students, may continue. We hope that more and more may get the vision of the possibilities of the college, and will join in the general song of boosting. Though most of us consider it sophisticated to label anything of a serious or reflec- tive nature as bunk, larger numbers of the student body are coming to a professional spirit, and fewer and fewer are ashamed of the occupation for which they are ostensibly preparing. Ours is not, nor is it intended for a regular liberal arts college. It is, or will be, Diuch more than that. It is a college for the training of teachers, and every ■ recitation period, every course of study, will come to have its ultimate objective the traming of individuals as teachers. These professionally trained teachers will find their way into all levels of the educational system, and the ultimate result will be that the teachers colleges ivill determine the educational policies of the nation. With that in mind, form if you can a vision of our State Teachers College twenty years hence, with a campus of imposing buildings, a corps of educational experts, and a student body with a sincere professional aim and attitude, where an atmosphere of tolerance and a sincere desire for knowledge shall prevail, and where the good of society is provided for in lecture room, field trip, laboratory period and social function. The teachers produced by such an institution will receive the co-operation of their schools, and almost incidentally will the pecuniary difficulties of the profession vanish into air and nothingness.

Line by line a picture came until I could descry The clear, full form of this new Hermes to us lower gods, A silver-tipp ' d and smoothly droning harbinger of dawn. The dawn it seemed was like unto the rising to sublimest height Of marble-chiselled turrets in the air, whence emanated Droves and swarms of silver-tipped swallows, all of one design. The drone and happy murmur of self-sufficient millions rose To happy ears, and I began to know what I had seen. The one majestic King of all creation Had through surest channel given invitation To earth ' s imperfect creature to enjoy With Him the waste and vacant space of air. So man had builded this new Babel — but now at God ' s command For what was once forbidden man might now maturer taste; And before the long attent millennium arrive he may Perchance be grown to comprehension of a universal peace. And commerce with good will, surviving hate and war. }isem:iis: . % ■ ' i ' . ' • ■E IB ► w ' ' !m: Stei)e Mi ska Best Man Athlete kt - rt j nj liE ID ISO ' SOCK AND BUSKIN CLUB IW5y!

Prof. H. S. Hincks, Philip Cole R. E. Trudel, F. M. Duke. Bottom Row. Frieda Wainman, Helen Neely, Mildred Harwell, Virginia Johnson, Josephine Maddox. These people have shown up creditably on all the rostra they have mounted. Their clear, cool logic, while not always appealing to the emotions of the audience, has caused more than one opponent to go cold as to feet and hot as to collar. We hope that the debating season may end as creditably as it was begun. Mr. H. S. Hincks, director of dramatics and debating, has succeeded admirably in arousing student interest in both of these activities. He knows how to accomplish the effects desired, and though not satisfied to let well enough alone, he makes the most of the materials at hand, paving the way for increasing the material equipment by making each performance pay for the succeeding one. With the proper cooperation from the student body, which he is rapidly receiv- ing, Mr. Hincks will place S. T. C. undeniably on the forensic and dramatic map of not only Memphis and environs, but of wider and wider circles. s ID E SOT© COLUMN STAFF Editor-in-Chief Maurine Miller Associate Editor Archie McNeal Sports Editor Ernest Gullett Local Editors Edward Thompson, Louise Lessenberry Society Editor Elizabeth Piper Advertising Manager Georgia Gadsby Business Manager _ Frank Magoffin Typist Josephine Maddox Exchange Editor Bun Crawford THE COLUMNS has had an unusually successful season this year, due largely we suspect to the infusion of underclass blood in the staff. There has been more stu- dent interest in the college paper than during the past several years, and we feel sure that the way is paved for a noble sheet during 1 930- 1 931. The Staff have been vociferous in their demands that the student body support them, and have received at least a satisfactory response to the demand for subscribers. However, there have been times when the business manager could hardly see his way clear, and on these days he has protested against the reading of second-hand papers. With the way already paved, and a successful year ' s run behind them, these people will undoubtedly be ready to publish an eight-page weekly next year, with perhaps an extra or two when we win an unusually exciting football game. All the COLUMNS will ever need is support in a financial way, and the way to get that is to educate the student body up to it. Suppose we begin on the Freshmen next Fall — tell them it is the expected thing, and soon we ' ll all be regular subscribers! im IP ISO ' if ' m-- Mrs. Ethel G. Blackman, girls athletic director and basketball coach, came to us this year, and has already endeared herself with a large proportion of the student body. She is friendly, a hard worker, and she gets results. Coach Zack Curlin, of the famous Tiger Machine , was back more and bigger than ever, giving his best both physically and mentally to accomplish the best possible results with the material he had to work with. The result is a credit to him. ' , j A y rv] . ' Coach Allyn McKeen, an all-Southern star from University of Tennessee, has a fighting spirit that comes to all who come in contact with him.

Some wise fellow last season predicted a successful 1929 season for the Tigers. Draw your own conclusions: a Mississippi Valley Championship, with eight games won and two games tied doesn ' t look at all bad. The 1929 season was undoubtedly the most successful season the Tigers have yet gone through, and with the excellent prosDects fpj ext year ' s line-up, we hope to repeat the performance. We will lose Jones and Fulghum by graduation. There are others who won ' t be back — but with the reserves from 1929, and the ne: men of 1930, there will be an abundance of material to fill these vacancies. i 1 % S OT ' O teHEP mmp «ACHtR l| '  €P Jfll HER fe«f|i ' ' HERI ' GIRLS BASKETBALL Yeah, they did it! What? Beat Murfreesboro ! And its the first time in years — if ever. Those tall, lanky, former state champions looked just like any other team to our six. The fact is that the Tigresses thought they couldn ' t be beat, until Delta took ' em down. This was the only team able to ruin their perfect record. Then just to show Delta that they could, the Tig- resses defeated them at Memphis. However, in the third game. Delta proved to be too much for our girls. This was a most heart-breaking loss as it gave our team only second place in the conference tourney. Although our girls didn ' t win all of the titles, they are state champions and beat most of the best teams in the tri-states. Their unusual success may be attributed to their coaching and to their determination to keep fighting. There were no time-outs taken for injuries. (Usually a clever scheme to rest). Their motto was, get up and keep playing unless you ' re dead. Coach Blackman has often remarked that if you see one of her girls stretched out on the court, call an ambulance, for she must be down to stay. When the referee blows his whistle in the initial game next year the only ones missing from the squad will be Mary Skinner and Mary Agnes Thompson. We will practically have the same team — and since they are already experienced, a team of championship caliber may be expected next year. Jan. 4, at Memphis Jonesboro A. M 6- fAN.

But it didn ' t matter where she was playing, she was always in there fighting. (Even the referees remarked on this). She will be missed next season. pC tBfl.

She served as a reserve but showed ability when she got a chance to go in. She was an accurate passer, and was content to feed the ball to her team-mate. IJ % S 0¥© MARGARET GAVIN Although good in other sports, Margaret never took up basket ball seriously until last year. She changed from a forward posi- tion to fight for the much sought-after place of side-center at the beginning of the pres- ent season. She promises to equal the best. ji i RUTH SHAW Fresh from Savannah high school, Ruth ' s ability to get the Tip on the toss-up won her a place on the team. She has all the qualities of an excellent center and we think she will develop into one f ou most dependable players. fL ' - • iClft ' MATTIE WOOD HARPOLE Mattie Wood was rated as one of the best forwards in this section. She combined skill and headwork with mystifying floor work to out smart the opposition.
