Jt)Ms, PrcsidvuL When we think of Memphis State, our thoughts turn immedi- ately to Mr. Jones, its able presi- dent, just as his first regard is for Memphis State. His farsighted leadership has done much toward furthering the development of the school. Always occupied, but never too busy to listen sympathetically to student ' s requests and problems. President Jones welcomes all to his office. Frances Bryant Sc()cf(iy to lite President Helen 1 ' arkkr Secretary to the Dam Edabi TH Franklin Serret(i) lo the Bursar PAGE 10 IVISTHATIDM Dean John N.

He is al- Nfllie Anc.ei, Sxniu, Diim oj II |()ii . )i nil i, l)i(u ways ready to discuss the students ' courses, credits, and grades.. He does a good job of keeping each student on his own individual path toward a degree. Dr. Nellie Angel Smith, m addition to her pro- fessorship in Latin, is extremely active as Dean of Women. She is supervisor of Mynders Hall, the girls dormitory, and is active on the committee which directs the social life of the college. Dr. Smith also acts as advisor to the Pan-Hellenic and All Students Club Councils. Bursar Bill, as Mr. R. M. Robison is known t(.) students of the Memphis State campus, handles the business affairs of the college. He has a brisk, business-like, but friendly manner that invites con- fidence in his ability to take care of the financial matters. R. M. RoiiisoN, lUns(u PAGE 11 jfn chatfe 0 e ucatm ate,,.

Hughes, head of the Educa- tion department, and his associates. Miss Annie Covington, Dr. H. J. Steere and Mr. W. G. Deen, are familiar figures. Mr. Hughes is one of the foremost psychologists in Tennessee. In elemen- tary education Miss Covington is the authority at Memphis State. The modern classroom techniques of Mr. Deen lure many students to his classes in secondary education.

Edwarus, Jorti, Jacobs, Doik.lass Four years the class ot 1942 has worked. Long afternoons they have spent in the laboratories and in the Training School. And tor lotu- years the class of 1942 has played. They danced, played ping pong, and drank cokes at Scrtiggs. In their four years they have seen their foot- ball team go through a season undefeated. They have worked with a new president and dean to fmther the de elopment of the school. They have changed the name of the school from West Tennessee State Teachers College to Memj his State College and have added a new building to the campus. At the end of their tour years they are ready to graduate, hoping that four years of Memphis State society has iMoadenecl them as much as it has shar])ened their minds. As they leave MSC for a world al out which nothing is cer- tain, they can only trust that it has given them more than a dijjloma with which to meet their problems. Officers of the 1942 class are Eugene Doug- lass, jiresident; M4iad Jacobs, vice-president; Betty Edwards, secretary; Polly Jean Torti, treasurer; Martha Lou Jones, reporter; and L.

The senior year is time enough for that. For these reasons the junior yeai is the most enjoyable. The pressure has let up from learning, as sophomores and freshmen, what college is, how to have a good time, and how to study, and the resp()iisil)ility of being seniors and about to grad- uate is a wlujle year off. The juniors, potential leaders of the ram])us, are the willing workers behind the scenes of the school activities. The officers of tlie lO-bS dass are Richard East, presitlent: Mary Frances VVray, vice-presi- dent; Hazel Brat ton, secretary; Fommy Samuels, treasurer; and Bill Moss, ASCC rejiresentative.

Hare Rising from the inlcriority of freshmen to the superiority of sophomores, I lie chiss of 1944 has jiroved itself worthy of its position, engaging wholeheartedly in the scholastic, social, and intra- mural program and being represented by men who valiantly defended school standards in bas- ketball and football. For their efforts many of its members were awarded letters. Ttnning from the field of physical prowess to fields of more intellectual color, the sojiho- mores have sticcessfiUly withstood the cpiarterly elimination contests held by the facidty. So, filled with success, ' 44, with the gleam of ftuure achievement in its eye, looks forward, confident yet wary in an uncertain world, to its most important and last two years at Mem- phis State.

' ' m FRESHMEIV White, Vescovo, Woodmansee. Dodson, Camp Into Memphis State, fresh troni the cotin- try, came tlie class ol 15)45. They will never know how many high school valedictorians, how many high school editors, how many tiddly-winks champions their class contains. But somehow the class ot ' 45 has litted itself into Memphis State without the su])port of this mass ol statis- tical data. They contributed to MSC ' s football and bas- ketball successes. Undaunted the girls and boys kept on not wearing their Frosh caps, in s[)ite of the rantings of the Freshman Regulations Committee. Disregarding superstitions the Freshmen held their annual Freshman dance and crowned their queen on Friday, I Y4:)ruary 13. That they were able to co{)e with Memphis State intellectually as well as socially is shown by the fact that most of them are still here. Officers for the Freshman class are Whit Dodson, ])resident; Margie Woodmansee, vice- president; Jeanetle Whit e, secretary; Paul Ves- covo, treasurer; and Ellene Camp, ASCC repre- sentative.

U ' hiriy-three issues of the ' Liger PAGE 56 Rag, campus weekly, emerged to iniorm sludeiits of news they had t)r shoidd have made. The passing of yet another journaHstit milestone was marked in December 1941, when the Tiger Rag appeared in a new streamlined h)rm as a resnlt of the editf)r s study at the I!)! I Associated Collegiate Press (iouNeniion in Si. Louis. Briefly, the style con- sisted ol changing to a three colunui, bhuk title and the use of ' focus ' makt ' up. Paul Buchanan climaxed his editorship during the Fall quarter with the largest pa])er ever put out by a Mid-Southern C ollege. The 12 pages of that Tenth .Anniversary Edition afforded a retrospective iew ol the last decade of Memphis State lile. Upon Paid ' s graduation in December, Martha Lou [ones assumed the editorship and was responsible for a second outstanding issue, the Service Edition, HaRKARA (lllRLF ! aH4 Ha4 it in the yi ef aa . . . consisting of six j)ages and printed in tAvo colors and black. Stoi ies and letters from boys at niuuerous fai-flung mili- tary centers were printed, along with names and addresses of former students in the armed services. Issued on March 2(). it was sent to more than 200 of these service men. Largely through Paul ' s efforts, a Journalism Club was organized in No emi)er which culminated in a Journalism class taught by Mrs. Lucy B. Hauser. Ihrough actual study of journalistic methods in this class, the first of its kind at Memphis State, and thrc:)ugh laboratory work on the Tiger Rag, the level of general coverage and presenta- tion of school occurauces in the i ajjcr was raised consid- erably. Jim McCormick succeeded Tommv Suggs as business manager in Januai y, insiiiuiing, among othei things, polls of student oj)inion as an aid to bettei and more compre- hensive advertising. Eleanor Ham, as ciiculation manager, assisted by Rutii Irby, capably flooded the camjjus with Tiger Rags. And not just the Memphis State campus biu alunuh and schools all o ' er the country were sent more than 200 copies of the paper each week. As associate editors, Barbara Gurley and Arthiu Grehan did a little bit of everything, from making u|) fillers to writing six-line editorials at the last miiuue. Corinne Gale served as chief copy-pencil chewer in her job of desk editor, keeping watch foi mistakes in copy and proof.

Continually rushing from the printers to a publications board meeting, back to the engrav- ers, and up to the photographers was Corinne Gale, editor-in-chief. After attending the Asso- ciated Colletiiate l ress comention in St. l.ouis in the lall, she was al)le to incorporate many new and modern ideas gleaned fi om editors and business manageis ol other colleges over the country. Clara Jean Jones succeeded Martha Lou Jones as business manager who resigned to be- come editor of llie 1 iger l ag. lietv een selling ads, reserving annuals, paying out money, tak- ing in money, and worrying about the budget she helped oiu on the editorial staff. Although Haiold (irooms dropped out of school at the end of tiie Wiiuer cjuarter, he remained staff photographer, coming back lo school to lake pictuics al any time and any PAGE ou took an interest in campus a(li ities.

Memphis State wasn ' t left behind. 1 he numerous phases of work through which the faculty and students contributed to the war effort proved an integral cog in the nation ' s mighty war machine. Construction work by NY V students, under the supervision of Mr. Calvin Street, was done for both the Second Army headquarters and the Army Depot. Numerous bulletin boards and map boards, 15 large letter distribution racks, 300 letter trays, combination typewriter tables and desks, and other miscellaneous arti- cles of furniture were made for the Second Army. Storage bins, cafeteria ecjuipment, and 10,000 stacking platforms were constructed for use at the Army Depot. Material for this was provided through the Army Quartermaster Corps with the work being done by 30 girls and 35 boys. A welding class of 25 bcjys conducted by Mr. Street, sent, by the end of the year, eight students into defense wcjrk. Another class in sheet metal welding for girls was taught by Mr. G. B. Har- per and equipped the group for jobs in various defense industries. Mr. Tom Mitchell of the Orgill Bros. Co. conducted a class in radio for 20 NYA girls, preparing them to serve in radio maintenance work under army supervision. In equipping civilians for action in the event of war on the home front, Memphis State was unique. President Richard C. Jones, Bursar R. M. Robison, Dr. Foster Moose, Mr. T. T. McLean, and Mr. G. H. Hayden attended a Civilian Defense school at Peabody College in Nashville, April 6-10, and returned to set up here the first regional defense school in the state.

The Athletic Committee, headed by Dr. R. W. Johnson, did an excellent job of administer- ing the finances of the athtletic program. It was becanse of their tireless, and equally thankless, efforts that the athletic program, football, bas- ketball, tennis, golf and intra-murals at Mem- phis State, was one of the most effective and well- roinided athletic programs in the history of the college. Had State ' s football season stopped inmie- diately after the Southwestern game there was not a student on the campus who would not have agreed that the ' 41 season was the most successfid in MSC history. State galloped into Roaring into the 4tli year of football reform at Memphis State, the Tigers took 7 wins from a tough 10 game schedule to move Blue and Gray football higher in the ranks of followers of the sport of the gridiron. The ' 41 season was Coach Cecil Scjnny Humphreys ' third, most successfid and, sorry to record, final season as head man cjf the Tiger machine. Humjihreys left shortly after the last game to take a job with the F.B.I. Leo Davis served most capably as backfield coach and had the imjjoriant task of instilling the tactics of the leiniessee system into the athletic minds of the Freshmen. Three-time All-American Ed Molinski Avas added to the coaching staff as line tutor. He worked long and hard to give the State line a Dr. R. W. Johnson Coaches Leo Davis and Ed Molinski ihe Lynx tilt with confidence that was absent in years gone by, and came so close to defeating I he Lynx that the wearers of the Red and Black don ' t even talk about it. Of the three games State lost, only one was by a greater margin than one touchdown. PAGE I US At Memphis State k II %.

Statesmen came in dro es ior it was admittedly the I ' iger ' s best chance lor a win in the history ol the lime- cured rivalry. Memjihis State ' s clan ol 27 gridders carried the battle to the enemy— never relincjuishing their eltorts until the l inal gun. It took Southwestern btu six minutes to score, and by the middle ol the second canto the power- ful Lynx machine liom across Parkway led 13-0. Many settled in their seals loi iliey were expect- ing another Soiuhwestern slaughter. But the Statesmen came back in the second hall with lighlin ' spirit. Roaring into high gear as scjon as play was resumed Memphis Slate ' s Joe Collman blocked Kenny Holland ' s lotn th down jjunU and MSC recovered on the Lynx 27. Watts and Barker alternated to moxe to the 7 belore the defense stillened. Holland l)lasted with a 44-yard piuit to Bud Daughiery who galloped to the 5 behind some beaiuiftd tlown-field I locking. Four plays later Daughiery went oxer lor State ' s big half do en points. Walt ' s ki( k was good lor the extra point. In the linal slan a towering Preston Watts snatched a Lynx pass out of the lamps and raced to the opposition ' s 32 belore being pidled down. Had the Humphrey machine been able to take Itdl advantage ol this ' 4)reak, State would have, very likely, pidled the iiiggest upset ol the dope bucket since they started carrying water in the old container.

Freshman Larry Jones moved from his half- back post off tackle for the second score. The Majors ' only score came when Pittman went wide to the right from the 15. John Gul- ley smothered the kick for extra point. State ' s final score started when the fourth c|uarter opened with the Tigers on the Majors ' 8. Bryson fumbled on the first try, but Fred Barham recovered. Then Jones faded to the left and dropped a picture pass into the hands of Captain Glass who was breezing through the opposition ' s sacred end zone. Watts kicked his third extra poiirt of the afternoon. The entire forward wall played beautiful ball all afternoon, and it was believed by many that it was the Tigers ' best game of the season.

The Majors were rolling along with two wins in their victory belt and their end zone was, prior to the MSC game, undisturbed. The Blue and Gray was being sold down the ole ' muddy Missis- sippi by a 20 point margin. Midway in the second chapter State started the first of three touchdown marches. Hagen Peters recovered a Millsaps fumble on the Majors ' 29. Daughtery faded and passed to end Joe Coffman on the four. Coffman lat- eralled to Kenny Barker who tripped over for the first score. Watts ' kick was good. Catlcdge, of the Purple and White, fumbled the kickoff and a State line- man recovered on the 40. Watts and Braker alternated to move to the oppo- sition ' s 15 yard stri]:)e.

Ole ' sol did himsell pioiid that Satuiday afternoon as he turned on the heat in the largest sot t ol packages. It took MSC but three ]:)lays to score. Glass intercepted an Alabama pass and moved to the 44. Watts, Bishojj and Watts again place the o al on the invaders 2 yard line. Kill-O Watts moved down the alley to score standing u]). Watts ' first kick of the afternoon was low. Watts registered the Figer ' s second halfdozen points when he galloped across from the 35. The Blue and Gray ' s third tally came with but three ])lays being run in the second qtiarter, when Barker, taking a Tutor piuit on his own 13, racetl for the end zone with the finest exhibition of hi| ping seen all afternoon. Goffman ' s kick was good to put State aheatl 1 .)-() at halftinie. Tony Fabiano crashed over from the two for Tiger ' s next tally. 1 he third stanza was the Statesmen ' s only scoreless quailer, but the weaiers of the Blue and Gray lost no time in the final canto. On the first play of the fotnth quarter power- ful Preston Watts crashed cner from the 10 for the points. Watts ran the extra point over when the pass came too high from center. With 2 1-2 mimUes to play Shine started across tackle with 12 blockinu but tinned when he got to the line and handed the ball to Peters who pulled oiU and galloped 65 yards for the final score. Goach Humphreys was as mystified by the play as were the wearers of the Red and White. PAGE 112 iMEMPHLS STATE 7 UNION UNIVERSITY 6 Union had upset llic powerful Thorout hbrcd machine 12-0 the week l)efore State moved to Jackson to meet the liulldo s in the Cardinal and Cream ' s traditional liomecoming classic, and State was on the small end ol some neat 3 lo I odds. The fatlier ol the heavenly waters turned on the cloud jince even before the squad loaded into the bus; and, by (he time the caravan of Blue and Gray started lor [ackson, Coach Davis gave all of the smaller men on the scpiad water wings. The band, si)onsors, cheerleaders, and some 100 students remained loyal to the Tiger cause and tred water in iheii section ol l othrock Stadium, while the Hiunphrey-tutored lads snatched one from the sleeping Bulldog. The stadium lights and the press box were the only objects projecting above the mirk and mud of the Union stadium, but the game started as schedided. Taking one ol Casey Jones punts on their own 1 yaid line State started moving lor the all important marker. Watts weiu back for a jjunt but it proved tcj be a fake and the Nashville lad gained five. Ihen he moved over right tackle loi six. He hit the strong side tackle again, cut to the side line and reached the Union M belore beinu forced out of bounds. Hunter Bishoj) cut through guard to the 10. Watts blasted the Cardinal line thrice before he moved into the mirk ol the end zone. In the try lor extra point Glass was kneeling to hold the j)lacement, but Robin- son ' s pass went high and Shine had to leap to get it. Watts— planning to run the ball o ci —took a wide lead to the left and was out ol position to kick. But stocky cpiarterback viewed the situation at a glance and followed Watts wide to the lelt to lake the wimiing point. Union ' s tally came midway of the second cpiarter. A last charging Tiger line huiried the Bulldog kicker and the placement was wide to the right. State tlneatened again in the final cjuarter and the game ended with MSC on the Union 2. MEMPHIS STATE 23 DELTA 7 Homecoming saw the Tigers pitted with Delta from Cleveland, and liom the way things started it appeared as though the lads from across the nuiddy waters were going to spoil the States- men ' s celebration. State failed to move into the sacred soil ol their own of their own initiative, biu gathered a pair I ' AGE li;! If K ' ' M % iJLf S. ered behiiitl his own g al line. HLiniphrey ' s lads moved into the second canto with but a 2-0 ad- antage. Powerful Preston took a punt on his own 11 and galloped to the Troy 39 to start the States- men ' s first touchdown march. Daugherty moved lo the 17, Fabiano hit the line three times to move to the door but couldn ' t get in the crowded place. Daugherty took command and moved o CY guard for the score. Watts kicked the point. Robertson recovered a Delta fumble on the invaders 40 to set the st age for the second tally. Watts started to the right, turned and unreeled a pass to Joe Coffman who was galloping along about the 12 yard marker. Coffman took the pass and moved to the goal line before being pulled down. A one yard loss, a penalty reeled by before Preston went over for the points. Watts ' kick was good. A pass, plus a neat lateral on the end, gave the Dcltans their only tally late in the second cjuar- ter, but tiiey never got inside the State 17 after that. Barker scored from the 26 on a neat reverse to give the Ole Grads a thrill worth coming to see —it brought back memories of the undefeated machine of ' 38. Again Watts converted. MEMPHIS STATE 12 MIDDLE TENNESSEE 13 yXs tile gridders were being seated on the bus for the trip, the coaches expressed their worry over, the attitude the boys are taking about the Raiders . Even the players admitted they weren ' t leady for the game. As the bus left the camjnis, defeat seemed to be echoed in the roar of the motor— the cards were stacked. It was Homecoming for the Blue Raiders and the Middle Tennesseeans put on an exhibi- tion wortlry of their alumni. State began their first drive for a score when they took a pinu on their own 20. Watts and Glass placed the ball on the 25 in two series. Then came the best run ol the night. Watts went over right tackle, then cut to the right in the ole ' Tennessee manner and galloped 75 yai ds for the touchdown. Glass failed in his attempt to run the extra point over. State ' s second score came on a pass intercep- tion by Watts. Kill-O took Burkette ' s pass on the 10 and raced 90 yards for the score. Bry- son ' s kick was not good. MEMPHIS STATE 6 MURRAY 31 Traveling into the f:)lue grass lands of Ken- tucky for a tilt with the Thoroughbreds of Mur- ray was an event in itself, biu the weather man had to shake the clouds and call upon the heavenly host to speak to Zeus for some weather worthy of the occasion. It started with rain and worked around to snow by game time. The powerful Miuray machine used its re- serve power to llie tullest advantage and sent many wearers of the Blue and Gray from the tilt with injuries. State ' s only score came late in the second stanza when Glass took Murray ' s kick off, fol- lowing their first score, on his own 30 and gal- loped 70 yards for the lone touchdown. Bryson missed the kick for point. The horses scored 19 of their 31 points in the closing minutes of the final act and had only a 12-fi margin at halftime. PAGE 114 J Hi--.

A reverse, an oil tackle slant, and a penalty moved the oval to the gateway to the point ])asture— on the one yard line. Bryson went tluongh a nice hole over guard to score. Bud Daugherty tripped thiough a hole Bar- ham, Peters, and Sinuiions opened late in the second quarter tor the second tally and the Statesiuen led 12-0 at halltime. Glass took the third store across midway ol the third round when he moved with that tinie-pi() en ()B sneak. (tollman kicked the noint. Daughtery passed to Meredith on the five and the veteran end took the Ijall on his finder tips and moved over for the second tally of the ([uarter. Holladay l)ooted the extra point.

Idie crowd came early and grew nervotis in anticipation ol the action to come, llie Bltie and Gray of the State band packed into one of the corners just off the cotnt and gave the termites a fit. Students hung over the sides of the stands like molasses on a bticket.

After defeating South- western 78 to 41 in their last Avin of the season, the Memphis Staters bowed again before Mm ray State Teachers.

Nine personalities are pre- sented here. For the first lime in the history of this book, the Recij ient of the Woman ' s Asso- ciation Award is picttn ed. She was se- lected by vote of the factilty and adminis- tration, as was the Most Valtiable Man. Another first is the combination of the two otitstanding honors, Recipient of the Woman ' s Award and Miss Memphis State in one person. The Miss Memphis State title was conferred by poptdar vote of the student body. At that same election, the May Queen and her two princesses were selected. Still a third first is the designation of a boy and a girl as the most typical students, Fd and Co-ed , of Memphis State. They won the honor throtigh a carefid analysis of the entire student body conducted by the DeSoto staff. Poptdar vote at the dances at which they were crowned was inatigtu ated this year in })icking the Football Otieen, Freshman Otieen, and Kampus King. Formerly the honor went to the candidate of the organization which sold the great- est ntnnber of tickets to the ftmction.

Tliis is the very last page ol copy lor which the printers have clamored lor at least thirty minutes. Checking back over the copy and proofs, we hope that oin work, which was both iun and woik, has been siiccesslul and this book will be a welcome addition to )()ui iour-volmne set of annuals. This yearbook woidd not have been jjossible without the aid of the administration, the faculty, the students, and a su|)er staff, which has worked all day every day and all night some nights. We wish to express oui appreciation to Mr. Joseph Koulhac and the entire force of the Mem- |)his Engraving Comj any foi ' their help in lay- outs and their ne er-ending patience with the staff: to Ml. K.ouer Kaitto, of Gerber ' s Photo- Reflex studios, who produced an endless stream of excellent pictures; to Mr. VV. H. Adanrs and Mr. 1. L. Southerland of Adams I rinting Com- pany for ' aluable suggestions and advice in making up the annual; to the Publications lioard, and especially Chaiinian 1 . M. Robison, for guiding us through as a ma e of contracts, budg- ets, financial matters, and coirect editorial poli- cies; to the Conniiercial Appeal and Press-Scim- itar for valuable pid)licity and use of their pictures; and to the advertisers who helped make this book possible. Into this annual have gone the ideals and energies of an excellent staff. For the class pages and senior write-ups we are indebted to Eleanor Ham, who also did athfrtising work. Louise Lamar tackled the haid job of bringing in up- to-date member lists and histories and did it (juite well, too. She was ably assisted by Sue Reid and Charlotte McCleskey. The job of being jiublicity agent fell to the lot of Martha Lou Jones, who has kept he DeSoto in the minds of all students. Her work was supple- mented by the novel posters of Claud Hathorn. Forever following the fo )tl)all and basketball teams was Judson Moore, sports editor, who didn ' t have sense enough to get in out of the Union rain. For moimtainous stacks of deadline cojjy we bow to Bill Caldwell, The task of issuing the books to an eager student body was in the hands of Bill Greener. Hazel Bratton. Dorothy Anderson, and Frances Wilkerson aided us considerably by getting ads for oui l)ook. The most tedious job of all, taking the mil- lion and one pictmes, was done by Harold Grooms and I orothy Jean Northern. Not only did they sna|) the shutter, but the) also had to track down their subjects. Harriette Rothstein added a new feature with her clever and appro- priate cartoons. To the rest of the staff we wish to express our thanks for their continual help in counting ()tes, tabulating poll results, alphabetizing class and club lists, running errands, writing copy and maintaining an enthusiastic s]jirit. We sincerely hope you like om book. Corinne Gale, Editor Clara Jean JoneSy Bus. Mgr. B n ' ' -V V5 I I I I I I ■ - l r xsr.- H ' - ' -- - v ' S ' -, i .- mm.
