CONTENTS BOOK ONE: TheCollese BOOK TWO: The Classes BOOK THREE: Organizations BOOK FOUR: Activities BOOK FIVE: Features BOOK SIX: Advertisers FOREWORD We of Memphis State College are conscious of the fact that progress has been made in our college during the past year, despite many obstacles which have confronted us. We have constantly looked toward the bright stars of peace rather than the dark cloud of war. Plans have been laid for a better post-war school. Both our educational and moral aspirations are expressed in our Alma Mater: Lead on, O Alma Mater, Thy Sons to higher ways. Give light and truth unto them For all their coming days. The sentiments of these lines have been the inspiration for this publication. We have at- tempted to crystalize the spirit of Memphis State during the past year and to send it forth in this book. dSook 1: Jke L oilc eae Girls ' Dormitory Manning Hall -f- I) Memorial Gymnasium ' P P i g|K ' «i w iBw w i |piyiip The Training School The Cafeteria The Library The Water Plant ADMINISTRATION ■ Dr. Jennings B.

Ruth Suggs Reporter . Wilma Jean Penland The class of 1944 has seen its college hurdle many obstacles and emerge with its standards high. They have worked with a new president for further augmentation of the institution. They have seen the campus dotted with the khaki uniforms of Army Air students and have shared class rooms and professors for the instruction of Cadet Nurses. They have witnessed the passing of football and drinking cokes at Scruggs as part of campus life,- but have substituted Red Cross work, more intensive intra-mural sports, and a new candy store for those things. At the end of their four years they are graduating with the knowledge that their life at Memphis State has prepared them for the manifold problems they must meet. They are leaving MSC to enter a world that looks anxiously toward the day of peace and to the boundless opportunities that day will present to this class which is prepared to take them in hand. wwm m 14 ke J enior y HOWS an IJ nows J4eJC nows Mary Bedty Memphis, Tennessee Music, Physical Education A nobler yearning never broke her rest But to dance and sing, be gaily drest.

They have learned how to work and how to play. A great portion of their work is finished and the responsibility of being seniors has not yet arrived. These prospective graduates of 1945 will be the future leaders of MSC. 17 ke junior Knowi (LJut yiowi r joi kat J e n nou ' 5 Jo Anne Brown Virginia BrakePield Anne Coppedge Catherine Davidson Jeanne Evans Jane Goolsby Evelyn Hurst Oneida Mills Marie Norment Katherine Patterson Jeanne Paul Margaret Riggin Ray Frank Sharp Frances Tucker Charlotte Watkins Jeanette White Dorothy Zellner 18  lO « SOPHOMORES President Janice Kee Vice-President Madeline Brenner Secretary Louise Newman Treasurer June Wolbrecht A.S.C.C.

The time has come for him to settle down and truly begin to work. Participating in the scholastic, athletic, and social realms with equal proficiency, last year ' s green-horns have proved themselves capable of administrating Memphis State ' s affairs in the future. That their able leader- ship and invaluable work will continue in the next two years is a certainty. 19 ke S opkomot ' e J nows V lot, but J now6 UkaiJ e J n,owi yjot Madeline Brenner Richard Brown Marian Bellew Josephine Alexander Ike Clinton Frances Cox Faye Carter Claire DeCorse John Forwalter Louise Garrett Marjorie Gillespie Pattye Greer John h ardy Elizabeth FHerbers Janice Kee 20 ne J opkofnore nou ' i r jot, but noiv5 kat ..J e nows r jot Mdrie Johnson Ray Light Sdrdh Loftin Eloise Moxley Marguerite Miller Louise Newman Pat Paseur Dorothy Deen Person Billie Rogers Dorothy Ann Stobdugh Kdthryn Sibley Dorothy Ann Smi ley Clara Stone June Wolbrecht Betty Watson 21 « mm m m M M m Mi FRESHMEN President Carrie Jean Epting Vice-President .

They have become accustomed to the ways of college by spending long afternoons in the science labs., by drinking cokes and playing checkers in the candy store, by slaving to meet a Tiger Rag deadline, by ratting for a sorority, by playing basketball and going around the track, and by doing the innumerable things that are a part of MSC — oh yes, there s the library which they have been known to visit. The Freshman Class has produced five beauties, the Typical Co-ed, and has crowned the Freshman Queen, Pat Sanders, in an impressive ceremony at the Freshman Dance.  22 ne freshman nows V lot, hut nows V jot kat J e nou ' S r fot Nell Avery Nannie Ruth Allen Bonnie Bilbrey Joseph BIdckbourne Jack Bickers Sarah Britt Agnes Callis Ann Childers • Frances Cody Marjorie Crosby Hazel Carter Mary Agnes Dishongh Carrie Jean Epting Nell Cuff Beverly Edwards Jerry Epperson Mary Frances Gilbert Margaret Gilreath Gerry Franklin Nina Glenn Emma Jean Goode 23  yj « ke resliinan nows f jot, but J nows 1 {ot -Jkat J e viow5 v lot Mary Frances Green Raymond Gwaltney Dorothy Grimes Marguerite Graves Ruth Graves Mary Lee hHowell Leonard Kern Dorothy Kirk Arhne Kirk Mildred Laster Virginia Ruth Moore Mary Ehzabeth Mincey Helen Molinski Cathryn Mott Martha Jean Moffatt Thomas McCord Katherine Martin Robert Murray Stephen Myers Mary Elizabeth Nash Dorothy Marr 24 « ke reskman nowi V lot, but J ' Knows V jot iJkat J e J iiow5 r {ot Frank Shawhan Leiia Mary Sneed Margaret Simi Billy Story June Smith Patricia Sanders Dorothy Scott Billie Jean Pryor Harold Perry Betty Sodergren Doris Stokes Audrey Poe Jean Raymond Olive Roberts Bobbie Jean Ross Frances Stevenson Martha Yerby James Nehls Nell Phillips Sarah Stanton 25  iia « wm m BETWEEN CLASSES 26 Hjooh 3: y raunizationd r  27 ALL STUDENTS CLUB COUNCIL The All Student Club CounciL composed of representatives from each organization on the campus, is the student governing body of Memphis State. The president is chosen by popular vote of the students at an election held each spring, at which time three candidates for office pre- sent their platforms during a special chapel program. Janice Johnson held this position in 1943-44, succeeding Harvey Maxwell, who entered the Marineservice shortly after his election to office. Dorothy Scott, Mary Lou Ingram, Janice Johnson, Dorothy Ann Smiley. The most important work of the A.S.C.C. is the arranging of the school social calendar. The council must approve any social event before it can be held. The A.S.C.C. also has charge of the chapel programs, and brings the students varied entertainment through- out the year. A.S.C.C. this year held all popularity elections for the feature section of the yearbook. Clubs on the campus made nominations for honors in the De- Soto - d of Fame through this central body. This was a new procedure adopted for wider repre- sentation of the student body in campus activities. i nceri President Janice Johnson Vice-President ....

Louise hHolmes One of the most fundamental and valuable organizations of our campus is a combination of the Women s Student Council and the Young Women ' s Christian Association. This group has a two-fold purpose. Its primary function is to create a desirable spiritual atmosphere,- and its goal is to cultivate in each personality the genuine fruits of the Spirit, namely,- love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. The second phase of this organization tends to promote a humane attitude of friendliness and co- operation, a zeal for truth and beauty, real valor for life, and a determination to make good. Short meetings were held each evening in the parlor for spiritual enrichment. The services were presented in an interesting fashion, consisting of various songs, readings, and prayer by respective members of the Council or guest speakers. For added color during the Christmas season, Secret Sunshine Friends were chosen and gifts were given throughout the week. For the surprise ending a tea was held the last evening in the parlor and the mysterious friends were revealed. 30 « STUDENT JOURNALISM War-time metdl and paper shortages have left their mark on the 1944 DeSoto, but the student body has not been disappointed in its wish that the long line of college yearbooks not be broken. With Deloris Tompkins as editor and Madeline Brenner as business manager, the staff has worked against the additional disadvantage of having only the Spring quarter in which to prepare the DeSoto for publica- tion, yet has succeeded in meeting the dead line. The Tiger Rag, official student publication once more, has rolled off the presses semi-monthly, and has become again an active part of college life. Margaret Riggin In the Fall quarter, the Tiger Rag took over the student store as its project and managed it through volunteer workers from the business and editorial staffs. In the Spring quarter the DeSoto sponsored the selection of Miss Memphis State and of May Queen, Kampus King, Freshman Queen, and the presentation of the annual beauty review. Chairman of the publication board, succeeding Mr. Robison, was Mr. Newport. Qther members who served as advisors during the year were Miss McCormack, Dr. Evans, Mr. Robison and Dean Oldham. Deloris Tompkins Edited by Margaret Riggin, with Deloris Tompkins as business manager, the Tiger Rag, like the DeSoto, adopted a war-time makeup. After last year ' s existence in bulletin board form, the paper is now being printed, and the student publication is once more the voice of MSC.

In the Spring quarter the club sponsored the showing of South American films in chapel during Pan-American week. Members of the Spanish Club joined in singing Spanish songs to complete this program.

In the spring quarter the club closed a successful year with the annual fish-fry. The Arabesque Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. L. C. Austin, is for the purpose of promoting music study on the campus and for bringing together musically inclined students. i iceri President .... Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer . A.S.CC.

The Triangle Club, was formed this year. It enjoys the unique position of being the only men ' s club in the school since the fraternities disbanded for the duration. Formed for the dual purpose of aiding the school and fostering social activity and good fellowship among the boys still in civilian clothes, the club is a perma- nent organization and will continue to function after the men now in service return to the campus. In order to create good-will for Memphis State, members of the club have offered themselves to the Administration to serve as student speakers and to visit schools and organizations in this vicinity. The firt public gathering of the club occurred in the winter quarter when a luncheon was given to honor President Sanders. A high scholastic standing is demanded of the members, v ho are admitted by invitation. The club makes a practice of extending honorary membership to outstanding men connected with Memphis State. The name of the organization is derived from the triangle, formed by the three points — Truth, FHonor and Loyalty. Coach Charles Jamerson is the club sponsor. Members not pictured are Bill Bartlett, FHenry Beaty, Eugene Bradley, Billy Hoover, Alfred Marko- witz, John McCay, Gerald Paller, and Fred Van Dresser. 43 . 3n fliemoriam ARTHUR ALLEN ...

SMITH DEFENSE CLASSES OF 1944 In addition to the classes of the Cadet Nurses which are held in the daytime, there are also night classes allied with defense work. There is a night class in Industrial Quantitative Chemistry which is sponsored by the United States Department of Education E.S.M.W.T. This course is a general review of general chemistry, qualitative analysis, and quantitative analysis, with emphasis on the quantitative. It is a study of the preparation of solutions and commercial volumetric and gravimetric procedure. This class was originated for the purpose of helping chemists in various industries and those preparing to be chemists. The class includes people from U. S. Engineers, Fire- stone Tire and Rubber Company, Chickasaw Ordnance Plant, Kennedy hHospital, and Barrow-Agee. Mr. G. . hiayden, of the college faculty, is in charge of the class. Another night class sponsored by the United States Department of Education E.S.M. W.T. is that of Engineering Drafting. It is a course to train men and women for industrial jobs which require knowledge of blue-print reading and drafting. This class, which meets two nights a week for twelve weeks, is open to anyone with a high school education, or its equivalent, at no cost. Sponsoring the course is Mr. R. E. Kennedy, instructor in Industrial Arts. 45 CADET NURSES Since June, 1943, three classes of Cadet Nurses from thie Methodist Hospital have entered Memphis State, each for six months training. In March, 1944, the first class of Cadet Nurses from the Baptist hHospital began the same program of studies, which will be finished in August. The third class finishes its college work this June. These nurses may well be proud of their record, for their scholastic achievements are extraordinary. They, are classified as freshmen and receive full college credit for their work in sciences and sociology which can lead to a B.S. degree, if they desire to return at any future date. During the present emergency they are pledged to enter the armed forces upon graduation, where thousands of former Cadets have distinguished themselves beyond the line of duty.

Pledges had to attain at least a C average before they were allowed to be initiated as members. hHell Week was reduced to three days, the last one of which was dress up day. Mock initiations were held the following week. The Pan-Hellenic Council ordinarily consists of two representatives and the presidents of the four sororities and the three fraternities on the campus. This year, however, since the fraternities were not active, the membership was limited to the four sororities. The purpose of the Council is to regulate the rush- ing seasons and to promote better cooperation be- tween the Greek organizations and the administra- tion. Meetings of the Council are held monthly in the room of Dr. Nellie Angel Smith, the club sponsor.

Peanuts, popcorn, hot dogs, fortune teller, and guess-your-weight-booths were scattered all over the place,- and everybody carried home paper hats, balloons, walking canes, and monkeys-on-sticks.

In with the March wind came the announcement that three of us were to be pictured in the beauty section of the DeSoto — Mildred Laster, Frances Stevenson, and Audrey Poe — Dee was chosen as Miss Memphis State, and we attended a scrump- tious party given by the alumni. April brought showers and also one of the most impressive luncheons ever given. Presents were presented to the sorority sponsors and to the presi- dents of each of the other three sororities, and every- one got flowers. On May Day, Totsy, Bev and Mary Agnes, as Maids in the May Court, took a prominent part in the annual festivities. Thus we concluded the Xi Beta calendar of 1944. Throughout the entire year we have carried our colors of blue and white high, and lived by our motto, We build for character — not for fame.

Later pledges entertained the members at a spa- ghetti supper at Frances Tucker ' s house followed by a skating party for the members, pledges and sponsors. At a luncheon on March 19th at the Peabody, Evelyn Hurst was presented with a gold bracelet and named the Most Valuable Member of the year. This is an annual award and the bracelet is handed down each year to the Most Valuable Member. The annual luncheon honoring the senior members of the sorority was held in the Spring Quarter. Those honored were Mary Beaty, Janice Johnson, and Lois Jones. Gammas were active on the campus this year in spite of the small number of members. Three members were honored at the Senior Honor Banquet — Evelyn Hurst, Lois Jones, and Janice Johnson. Faye Carter was a princess in the May Court, pre- sided over by the Queen, Janice Johnson. Repre- sented in the Beauty Section of the DeSoto were Janice Johnson, Josephine Alexander, and Faye Carter. Although we were not entirely successful in the intramurals for this year, we entered every contest and made a good showing. Mary Beaty, Janice Johnson, Frances Tucker, Pattye Greer, Billie Duke Rogers, Evelyn Hurst, Faye Carter, Lois Jones and Kathryn Martin entered the intramurals. When Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton P. Easton came to the campus, they were elected sponsors for the sorority. Mrs. Anne Lawo, the librarian, also served as a sponsor until she left the first of April to join her husband on the West Coast. Mrs. Hauser, a sponsor for several years but not a faculty member this year, visited us several times on the campus. The alumnae chapter entertained patients at Kennedy General Hospital and the active chapter members were guests. The alumnae, of which Miss Dorothy Gray is president, entertained the active members with another informal party. 55 KAPPA LAMBDA SIGMA Nell Avery Virginia BrdkePield Helen Campbell Ann Childers Frances Cody Marjorie Crosby Frances Cox Claire DeCorse Jeanne Evans Mary Frances Gilbert Marjorie Gillespie Margaret Gilreath Emma Jean Goode Ruth Graves Irma Greer Mary Lou Ingram Marie Johnson Janice Key Sarah Loftin Cathryn Mott Jeanne Paul Wilma Jean Penland Bobby Jean Ross Betty Sodergren Dorothy Stobaugh Ruth Suggs Charlotte Watkins - Jeannette White Dorothy Zellner Jean Writesman (Not Pictured) 56 JfHcefi President Charlotte Watkins Vice-President Frances Cox Secretary Wilma Jean Penland Treasurer Marie Johnson A.S.C.C.

Last year Coach Jamerson was head coach of the foot- ball team; but when inter-collegiate competition was abandoned this year, he was appointed Intramural Director. hHe began his coaching career at Central and Tech hHigh Schools in Memphis where he turned out teams known and respected throughout the entire South. Before taking up coaching, Coach Jamerson was a professional baseball player, having played in the American League. Due to the absence of the boys ' intramural program at Memphis State this year, the girls have enlarged their own program, and have participated more enthusiastically than ever before. The four managers, Janice Kee, for Kappa Lambda Sigma; Oneida Mills, for Xi Beta Nu; Dorothy Marr, for Sigma Alpha Mu; and Eveylyn Hurst, for Gamma Tau Alpha, have worked with their teams in an intensive program during all three quarters of the 1943-44 year. During the fall quarter, tennis, ping-pong, and volleyball were the chief interests. The winter quarter was devoted to the basketball tournament, consisting of twelve games. Each sorority played two games with each of the other teams. The spring quarter ' s chief tournament was Softball. Members of Xi Beta Nu Sorority won the cup for this tournament, with the Kappas and Gammas tying for second place. Walking off with the highest number of points for the past year were the members of Kappa Lambda Sigma Sorority, who won the volleyball, basketball, and ping-pong singles and doubles championships. Beverly Edwards, Xi Beta, won the tennis championship, and the Xi Betas, placing second in number of points, succeeded in giving the Kappas quite a bit of competition. During the fall quarter, all four sororities participated in the tennis, and ping-pong tournaments. Janice Johnson, Gamma, placed second in the tennis tournament, with Frances Cox and Katherine Sibley tying for third place. Winning the ping-pong singles was Marie Johnson, Kappa, with Evelyn Anderson, Sigma, placing second, and Katherine Sibley, Xi Beta, placing third. The Kappa team, consisting of Claire DeCorse and Frances Cox also won first place in the ping-pong doubles, with Totsy Smiley and Madeline Brenner, Xi Betas, placing second. The intramural sports for the winter quarter were volleyball and basketball. Kappa Sorority took top honors in both of these tournaments, while the Xi Betas took second honors in both of them. Leading the Kappas to victory in both sports was their captain, Janice Kee. 60 INTRAMURAL MANAGERS Janice Kee, Evelyn Hurst, Oneida Mills, Dorothy Marr.

MSC GLAMOR 76 CONCERNING THE JUDGES When the problem of judges For the beauty contest arose, the editor and the Publi- cations Committee found that they had quite a problem indeed. Should some very famous person be asked to judge the contest or should a group of boys in the service who are nearer the age of the college girls be asked to do the judging? The question was pondered for quite a while without a decision being reached. Finally the editor hit on the idea of writing to two different people and letting the first who answered the letter be the judge. A letter of explanation concerning the contest was sent to Frank Sinatra, the radio and movie star, and another to the graduating class of cadets at Fletcher Field, Clarksdale, Mississippi. Not long afterwards, the editor was called out of class to answer the telephone. It was Western Union with a telegram from Fletcher Field saying that the boys would be happy to judge the contest — not only would they be happy, but they would be delighted to do so. After all it wasn ' t every day that they had the chance to pin ten beautiful girls ' pictures on their bulletin board to look at and argue over until they actually decided which four were the most beautiful. About an hour later, a special delivery letter arrived from Frank Sinatra expressing his interest in the contest and agreeing to judge it. After many conferences, it was decided that the cadets should be the judges, so off the pictures went to Fletcher Field. Two weeks later, the pictures were returned with this letter: Dear Miss Tompkins: The cadets have finished their decisions as to the beauty contest winner. I wish to advise that No. 6, Miss Mildred Laster, is first,- No. 9, Miss Jeanette White, is second; No. 10, Miss Pat Sanders, is third; and No. 4, Miss Carrie Jean Epting is fourth — Most sincerely yours, CLARKSDALE SCHOOL OF AVIATION J.

As we sit in this cluttered up office, forbidding Emma to remove a single scrap of paper from the floor lest it be some last minute copy, we feel rather sad and lonely. Everyone has left, everything is com- pletely silent; not even the usual clicking of the typewriters can be heard. As we look back over the work done so competently in such a short time, we realize that the bulk of th e copy was collected by Jeanne Evans, while Margaret Riggin, associate editor, has spent many hours on layouts besides doing numerous other neces- sary jobs. Gerry Franklin has been responsible for the clever class write-ups and Jane Goolsby deserves credit for all art work. To ' Totsy ' we express our gratitude for the posters made for any and every occasion. Both Agnes Callis and Pat Sanders did a splendid job on advertising. We drz particularly indebted to John hHardy, who has devoted so much time and patience to his work as photographer. To Jimmy Nehls and Audrey Poe we offer verbal orchids for time spent on numerous jobs of all de- scriptions. To the rest of the staff who have made this book possible by doing odd jobs at odd times, we offer our appreciation for untiring assistance. Besides the staff, there have been many others who have aided in the production of this annual in various ways. Special credit goes to Mr. Lamar Newport, chairman of the Publications Committee; Miss Marie McCormack, who advised us regarding lay- outs; and Dr. - . B. Evans, who labored patiently at correcting copy and proofs. Without the advice of Mr. Marvin Cole, of Memphis Engraving Company; Mr. Rel hHughes, of Toof ' s, and Mr. Thomas Southworth, the photographer, the book would probably never have been published. Last, but not least, we wish to thank the advertisers who proved that they were All Out For Memphis State when they signed the contracts for their ads. We sincerely hope that you like the book.
