We have attempted to go further — to portray in some measure those traditions v hich are so undeniably a part of the institution; and, to instill in the hearts of those who come tomorrow the true spirit. In using the 21st Anniversary of Teachers College as a theme, we have tried in a small way to call attention to the fact that the school has achieved its majority. . . . While it must perforce lack the austerity of century-old tra- dition of which others may boast, nevertheless, it does have honored ideals wel! developed and well defined. For twenty-one years it has served, silently and faithfully going about the business of train- ing young men and young women in the science of Teaching,- and we are justifiably proud of her sons and daughters in the many communities of our section where they drz giving back in service the debt they owe to her for enlight- ment. m m i i i i PAGEANT OF THE YEARS In 1909 under the impetus of a great educational campaign begun by leading spirits in the educational world, the people of the state awoke to the fact that Tennessee was lagging far behind other states in the new drive to educate our people for modern life. The campaign culminated in the plan of the Legislature to erect teacher training schools in the three great divisions of the State, and ac- cordingly the Educational Act of 1909 gave birth to West Tennessee Normal School. Many communities of the western portion vied for the location of the school. When the citizens of Memphis donated 81 acres of land for the location of the institution, with the promise of money grants, it was legally located there. The succeeding years have each brought additional buildings and enlargement of scope and student body. 1912 — Administration Building, Mynders hid!!, Presi- dent ' s hlome. Formdl opening of School, Sept. 9, 1912; 305 enrollment. 1919 — Two years hiigh School dropped, third year College added. 1920 — Three years College work required for graduation from Normal School. 1921-24 — Men ' s Dormitory, Dining hiall, Training School. 1925 — Full-fledged College, granting degree of Bachelor of Science. 1927-28 — Library and Gymnasium. 1929— Manning Science hiall. 1934— Equipment valued at $1,500,000. In 21 years has had well over 12,000 students, now has over 660 graduates with Bachelor of Science Degree, hias hundreds of graduates in Ele- mentary and High Schools of surrounding terri- tory. Average enrollment now 850. CONTENTS m p fln vr?i ;fA ' . ' ' «w: Kvnic ' j DEDICATION to Dean J. M.

The way he and Squeaky met on defense was an eternal thorn to the opponents. MOONEY Father-Time BOSWELL is an old hand at the game. He played well during the early part of the season, but injuries kept him inactive during the latter part. CURRY McWILLIAMS was an efficient reserve, and in the last few games he played a great deal. His ability will strengthen the end positions a lot for the ' 34 season. S. E. KIDD, guard, battled in there for two years. He was one of the hardest chargers in the line to win his letter for the season. JOE GRESHAM, tackle, moved his 220 pounds around almost too fast for the regular tackles. He will put in a strong bid for a regular berth during the coming campaign. CLYDE GILLILAND made his second consecutive letter at center, and will be counted on to bear the greatest share of the burden of the position next year. FRANK SANDERS, the Mickie flash ran, passed, blocked, and tackled with the best of them. Frank may enter medical school this fall, but if he returns, he is almost a cinch for an all-conference pick. KINKY LANCASTER proved himself a fullback from way back. His ground gaining in pinches was one of the features of the Tigers ' play throughout the season. He was rewarded for his prowess with an all-M. V. C. position. SQUEAKY CZERWINSKI ' S pass snagging proved to be one of the features of the season, and it will be a long time before the Tigers have a better defensive end. Star-winski won his initial letter. JACK DODDS finished his third year by placing a position on the M.V.C. all-star team. Acting as co-captain with Litchfield, Jack proved himself a good leader, and he will be missed next year. ED MARTIN- whether he goes over or under, Ug always gets his man. He made the M.V.C. mythical eleven and bids fair to repeat next year. NAYLOR LITCHFIELD— a fiery temperament and a lanky physique made Litchfield a wall on offense, and an arrow on defense. His leadership as co-captain was felt by the whole team. Litch missed an all-star place by only one vote. J. D. McCLANAHAN and Martin paired, the Teachers had the strongest guards in the conference. When Mac puts his shoulder to a man the opponents have only ten men left on the field. SAM McCLANAHAN— Yaya was the fastest charging man in the line, and was the contribution of the right side of the forewall to the M.V.C. eleven. Did you see him make that touchdown in the Jonesboro game? DICK MILLER, the diminutive, is a quarterback with courage. Besides, he does everything a backfield man is supposed to do. Dick also plans a medical career, but he may return for another season. BERRY McALISTER— 125 pounds of lightning, not only threw a scare into the opposing teams, but he contributed largely to their defeats. Whether rolled several somer- sets or stomped he always came up smiling. ALBERT TUCKER opened the season with great possi- bilities, but an injured shoulder benched him in the middle of the season. To show his unbroken spirit he has turned manager for next season. JIMMIE GRIFFIN developed into a Pine ball carrier and made a letter at fullback. BAKER McGINNIS was the left-handed member of the backfield. He did the wrong-side passing, and was an effective ball carrier. 72 SEASON ' S HISTORY The Tigers played flashing football in the season of ' 33. They won seven of nine games against strong teams, lost one and tied one. The Mississippi Valley Conference championship slipped by the Teachers only for the reason that they did not play enough conference games. How- ever, they had three victories and no defeats, and were the only undefeated team in the conference. The season v as opened with a smashing 18 to win over the Cape Girardeau (Mo.) Teachers on the home field, and then the team took to the road two successive weeks. Bethel was defeated 20 to 13 in a game that the subs got an early season tryout, and the next week the Arkansas College team of Batesville fell before the Teachers. On the following week the team defeated Freed- hHardeman 51 to 0, to warm up for the hHome-Coming affair of the next week. Victory had been sweet for four weeks. On hHome- Coming Day defeat stalked in, and though the Tigers fought hard the strong West Kentucky Teachers, Bowling Green won by a 19 to score. Ask any member of our team about Walker, the West Kentucky quarterback. Coming back after this sound beating, the Teachers took the Middle Tennessee Teac hers 20 to 6 at Murfreesboro, and then defeated the Tennessee Polytechnic Institute by a 13 to score in one of the best games of the season. On d cold bleak day in November, the Teachers played the Jonesboro A. M. team a to tie. On the following Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, the team defeated Union 7 to in their closest victory, which was a thriller for all those students who journeyed to Jackson to witness the tilt. To climax a very successful season, the Teachers placed four men on the all-conference team. Those winning this honor were Ed Martin, Sam McCianahan, Berry McAlister and Jesse Lancaster.

The game was lost 19-0, but who cares,- the game ' s the thing. Above: The cheer leaders whoop it up. Side: The sponsors look at the little birdie. Below: What ' s this? A scene from the Western Front,- nope, it ' s the boys doing it for dear old Rutgers. I I2 74 m Del OTO 1 34 SEASON ' S Coach Curlin and a small squad of valiant men worked diligently all season, and at the end of the season when the M.V.C. tournament was played they went to the semi-finals. They were de- feated in a fast game by the Lambuth quintet, tournament winners. The team made no imposing show, but they kept their opponents worried and on the go in every tilt. The schedule was so arranged that the games came too close together. It was unfortunate that the schedule had to be arranged in this manner. This difficulty has been ironed HISTORY out for next season, and the Tigers will be on the jump. A number of games required play-off games after tie scores, and it was the Teachers ' luck to lose several of them by close margins. A large number of freshmen came out all season and provided opposition for the varsity during practices. Next season the yearling group is expected to strengthen the team measurably, and there may be a different story to tell next year concerning the activities of the basketball team.

Though he worked on Saturday and missed many games, he never missed practice. BAKER McGINNIS His left-hand passes were just as puzzling In basketball as in football. Baker was also an especially effective guard. JOHN McKINSTRY Played his first year for the Teachers; his lanky build gave him an advantage that should be useful to the Tigers next year. JACK DODDS If he couldn ' t take the ball away from a man he just booed at him and made him drop it. Jack also hit the basket at times. - 3eu lfM2 76 Do iOTO iu:t 1 •■KINKY LANCASTER Though short of stature, played either guard or for- ward, and was always on the go. hie finishes his third year on the team. FOY 3-Point POPE Is a fast little forward that will be in there next year, hie showed some nice floor action this season and was also good on the defensive. CALVIN MILLS Was inexperienced to be- gin the season, but in the latter games his guarding was very effective. He will add strength next year. FRANK SANDERS Guard, was the man who always slipped up on the opponents unexpectedly. Stymie really made basket- ball history.

PEGUES — Sfie is thie bad little piggy opposing forwards hated to see come in. A fast little fresh. man who can ' t be stopped. TRUDEL — Trudy was always in the game, heads up. She ' s a fast consistent guard who handled the fastest forwards with ease. hlUGO — D.D. was a nice guard who always had the team at heart. RUSHING — Scheinberg Special showed the fans some spectacular guarding. Too bad that Sammye graduates this year. KELTNER — Tillie ' s shots were slow but sure. She ' s good material for two more years. DeLONG — Because of outside work, B.B. couldn ' t be in all the games, but her presence was always cheered by the team. GOODWIN — Goody well deserved her position on the All-M. V. C. team. Her foul shots and cornfield shots always pulled Teachers out. BISHOP — Though she couldn ' t play the first of the season because of illness, she came back at a most opportune time. CARROLL — A game little forward from down in Mississippi. It didn ' t take her long to learn Tennessee ball. ROBERTS — ' Coop, the manager, always managed to get the team pepped up with enthusiasm and spirit. SHINAULT — Shinny was an old standby ready to help where she was needed. LAMB Pete proved to be one of the most loyal members of the squad. She could take it and do right well. MRS. BLACKMAN- Our coach, who kept the Tigresses in the fight. iUVZ GIRLS BASKETBALL With twelve wins, two ties, and one loss to their credit. Tigress basketeers feel that they had a very successful season. With this record be- hind them, they entered the Mississippi Valley Conference tournament seeded second only to Lambuth. They met and easily defeated Bethel College in the first round of play but met real competition in the Sunflower Junior College team which they edged out by only one point. Lambuth downed the Tigresses in the final round and were crowned as champs. The outstanding offensive-defense of Sammye Rushing at guard, and the steady shooting of hHazel Goodwin throughout the season as well as in the tourna- ment, won for them positions on the AII-M.V.C. team. The team received an invitation to the National Tournament in Wichita, Kansas, but could not accept because of the lack of financial backing.

C. Hoepfner, President Blaine Treadway, Vice-President Sunny Combs, Secretary-Treasurer Walter Allen, Stage Manager The Sock and Buskin Club, under the able directorship of Prof. Harvey Scott Hincks, began the season November 9, 1933, with the presentation of Backwater, an original one-act play of the Mississippi delta country, by G. Marion O ' Donnell, treating with insight and power the age-old conflict between man and the forces — human and ultra-human — that we call Fate. On the same bill was the always popular The Crimson Cocoanut, by Ian hHay. One Country, by Louise Moffatt, an original romance of the industrial invasion of the Shenandoah Valley, twenty years after the Civil War, was given December 7, followed by Christopher Morley ' s Thursday Evening, and Alice Gerstenberg ' s Overtones. The next production, January 31, 1934, was an original costume play, A Night in Venice, by Carolyn Sutin, and a series of characteristic dances beautifully done by Al Hamilton and Kay Saxton, accompanied by Karl Kaestle, pianist. The costumes and masks used were designed and constructed by Mr. Hamilton. The first long play of the year was an original four-act mystery drama, The Fourth Generation, written and directed by Prof. Hincks, and presented to a large and enthusiastic audience on February 14, 1934. The setting was a Southern mansion near Memphis, and from the opening scene to the surprise ending the varied effects of the play kept the audience either tense with excitement or appl auding with laughter. As a special performance for the A.A.U.W. on March 2, the club revived Griselda Anton ' s The Beloved Enemy, one of the features of its Washington Bi-Centennial celebration in 1932. A delightful one-act play of the American Revolution, The Beloved Enemy is one of the most popular and effective original plays given by the club. Why Can ' t I? by Joe Crenshaw, an original farce of college life, and Christopher Morley ' s delicate and amusing East of Eden were given May 3. The closing activity of the year was the presentation on May 29, of A. A. Milne ' s three-act comedy, Mr. Pim Passes By, directed by Prof. Hincks. Encouraging features of the season have been the discovery of much new talent, and the large audiences obtained. ii in tijsi Aiiiiivi rMSirv 108 . 1012 Del OTO 1934 THE SOCK AND BUSKIN CLUB Presents THEODORE C.

It has been the aim of the Editor to produce a book descriptive of every phase of Campus activity, interestingly and accurately presented, hlow far we have succeeded in accomplishing our goal is for you, the reader, to judge.

For certain unavoidable errors and mis- spellings, we ask indulgence of the hapless victims. To the following we are especially indebted: O. hi. Jones and Don Ferguson for the making of most of the Athletic and Feature pictures. Hugh Ervin and C. Rel Hughes of S. C. Toof Co. for Art vv-ork and design of the book. Margaret Gray Henderson for designing the lining sheet. T. C Hoepfner for a great deal of time spent in yeoman ' s service over proof sheets.

Holiday Declared After a record number of years spent at Teachers College, John Stanley Borsa finally had his sheepskin bestowed upon him. A day off for students and teachers was declared in commemoration of this momentous event. Great was the rejoic- ing and merrymaking thereof. A fish fry was held on the campus to give fhe Borsa a send-off. There was a black wreath on the door of the girls ' dorm this morning. Dr. Smith and the girls were downcast throughout the day. The flag on the main building was kept at halfmast and a salute was fired to herald his departure. Borsa packed his toothbrush, his room mate ' s socks, ajid his B.S. degree and set out for that little vine covered .shack in Maine. BOARD OF HEALTH ASKED TO INSPECT BUILDING A group of visitors were inspecting the Science Building. The group walked through the door into the building and then pa.ssed out. The .school authorities .started an investigation immediately. The committee, equipped with gas masks found this situation. At one end of the hall, the freshmen were showering the pervading ether with vapors arising from conglomerate mixtures of everything they could pour together. Their sligh tly older brothers in Qualitative were fumi- gating the air with freshly prepared Hydrogen Sulphide. At the other end of the hall, the senior students in Organic were doing their best to perfume the ozone with fumes from Valeric and Oleaic Acids. The zoo students from their vantage point on the second floor were showering the oxygen with odors from nicely ripened dogfish. Their duty done, the committee re- moved their masks and also passed out.

Stanton Abernathy and Jack Renshaw were the persons implicated by police in the fraud. Stanton is vacationing in Florida, and Jack has just purchased the Frankfort Distilleries. President Orders New Equip- ment for Classrooms Beer and Free Lunch to be Featured in Dull Lecture Courses Today, by official ukase from the Inner Sanctum, announce- ment wa.s made of official new entertainment to be offered bored students suffering from Lecturitis. It was disclosed that special bars, in ornate mahogany with cromium trimmings have been ordered installed immediately in all class- rooms to furnish cold beer on tap at all hours to students at low cost. Free lunch counters are also to be placed in each room. Cheese on rye, liverwurst, dill pickles, and pretzels may be obtained at any time during class hours. It is believed that providing some good healthy nourishment during class hours will serve to lessen the boredom of calculus and educational statistics. If a student becomes sleepy during one of Dr. Beatty ' s lethargic mumblings, or annoyed at one of Dr. Highfill ' s rambling lectures on Chaucer, he may ankle up to the bar and signal for a beer and a hot dog to munch on with philosophical un- concern.

CAMPUS POET SHEDS HAIR IN GREAT SPRING CLEANING Staid burgeoise campus strollers were shocke(l on a recent morning to see Marion ODonnell, famed Hohcmian of the institution, arri ' c for an early class en- tirely devoid of his famous locks. Long a distinguishing mark and part of his poetic stock in trade, the hair had stood as a sort of defiant gesture to the regi- mente(l intellectual sheep of the college. Whether Mr. O ' Domu ' ll was merely co- o])eratiiig in the f [ ( ' lean-up ( ' anipaifiu. or whether his action iiad larger inii)li- eations, was a matter left unex|)lained to the ral)ble. The .secrecy of the thing aroused public interest. But there he was newly shorn, sleek and efficient lo(,king as a I ' russian arin ' officer. Inunediately wild rumors flew ar,)und. .V great name in literature was dead and Maiion was doing homage in .self-abase- ment; or, he had yielded to the lure of some fleshly woman who had |)layed him as Delilah had ])laye(l Saiuson. . n( l yet, a third story had it that he had spent a wild night in company of Treadway and Hoe])fner looking on seedy, red wine. Yes, he had come home wavering un- certainly in the russet dawn, hi- long sleek hair interspersed with vine leaves and his face posses.sed of a determined look. He would accept their challenge to shear himst f. And straight away he had gone to the shop where he was welcomed as only a depression-starved barber can. Regardless of the explanation, the campus loafers on seeing him heaved a sigh of relief, languidly di-cw a jjuff from lighted cigarette and went on, busily as ever engaged in loafing.

SORORITIES MERGE After years of the closest friendship and intimacy, the Kappa Lambfla Sigma and Sigma Alpha lu .sororities have de- cided to become one. Xo more fitting expression of the love of these two organizations for each other could be ex- emplified than this merger. Together they may fight for the same goals; to- gether they may conquer.

PAINT AND VARNISH FOURTH GENERATION DRAWS LARGE CROWD Hincks First Long Play Given February 14 Scene deleted from The Fourth Generation, Auntie Mae, his comely colored cook, on his an original four-act mystery-satire play by plantation near Memphis. The partg are here Prof. Hincks, presented in the Auditorium by portrayed by Mr. Fred Walker and Miss Sue the Sock and Buskin Club, on February 14. Cooney, members of the famous Sycophant This scene shows Colonel Newcomb, a true Club, southern gentleman, being entertained by The premier performance of The Fourth fieneration, foiiraot mystery .satireamazed a college audience on Valentine evening. The .shocked, a.stounded,. stupefied audience had the privilege of witne.s.sing a master- piece of dramatic fiction; and as they went home from the performance, thanked their astral bodies that there was still a person living on this distracted globe wh j coulfl take a dare. After five years of attempting vainly to teach embryonic play-wrights how to write a play, Hincks finally sh(jwed em how to do it. Additional incentive was given last summer when Hincks visited the pick of world dramas on Broadway without finding one that he considered worthy of a place in the Halls of Fame. So Hincks, his hair full length, his dramatic urge straining to the utmost, went into a lethargic hibernation and with the coming of spring, emerged with his brain child, the one and only Fourth Generation. This, however, is not the first member of Hincks ' dramatic family. Several years ago the rafters riuig with the words, (let out of my house and never darken my door again. With these words the innocent heroine sent away the villain who had caused the death of her husband in The Great Divide. This one act play .served as a stimulus to him and a warning to the audience that another wa.s on its way. The Fourth (ieneration followed in due time a fully developed play !)oth in length and number of characters. In this play, the author has managed to bring in the superstitions not only of the negro but of occultists the world over. I ' roductMJ entirely by the faculty and student body of this noble institution, the production ranks with the greatest plays of all times or at least in its class. What is the .shape of a kiss? Give me one and Fll call it square. DRAMATICS NUTS MOURN LOSS OF FAVORITE RODENT O scar IS Dead A black spell of sadness has settled over the stage fraternity of Teachers College. Oscar the beloved pet of the Dramatics Department was discovered, on the Ides of March, done to his death by an im- known hand. It has been suggested that he died of old age, other witnesses affirm that he collided with a piece of scenery. Regardless of the cause the effect on the department is the same, deep gloom is everywhere. Many has been the time that Oscar sat on the footlight rail and watched pensively the rehearsals in progress. But alas, never again will Oscar cause frightened young ladies to hoist skirts and leap into chairs for safety, never again will he scutter from footlight to flat, always evading captiu-e. We shall niiss him, but perhaps he left a family — time will tell. Bear with me, my heart is there with Oscar, And I must pause till it come back to me.

Beginning with that date, break- fast will be served in bed to all dormitory students desiring service. One may also have supper served in the privacy of his room. Tomato juice will be available to all at twelve midnight and at three in the morning. There will be no extra charge. Later in the season Miss Lizzy plans to inaugurate curb service.

In the first round Baker McCilinnis knocked a home run, carrying the ball all around the bases for a .score. The Higers thus early assumed the lead, which was never threatened after Jack Dodds and Kinky Lancaster knocked out three of the visitors ' best players, and scared two others into leaving the game early and going home. An exceptionally large crowd witnessed the game, the gate keeper having an official count of 114.
