OFFICERS Initiating activities this year was the luncheon- meeting honoring prospective members ot The Arts Club. Important features oi the program presented were musical selections by oin own members. Including students interested not only in art, but dramatics, vocal and instrumental music, and writing, the group is sponsored and aided by Miss Marie McCormack. The Christmas luncheon, with the beautifid decorations in the room done by art students and an inspiring talk given by Mrs. Rosen- borough on Christmas spirit, was the most elab- orate aiiair of the year. A trip to the Brooks Memorial Art Gallery was also sponsored by the Arts Club.

Mary Simonds Frances Stevenson Dorothy Smiley Mary Siinonds June Wolbrecht, Clara Gowen, Nell Avery, Roy Mitchell All-Student Club Council Composed ot representatives from each organization on the campus, the ALL-SI UDENIS CLUB COUNCIL 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 present their platforms during a special chapel program. June Wolbrecht, senior, held this position in 1945-46 succeeding Evelyn Hurst. The purpose of the A. S. C. C. is to coordinate and integrate the activities and relations of the organizations in the school for the best interests of all. While disciplinary matters are in the hands of the faculty, the ALL-STUDENTS CLUB COUNCIL helps in the shaping of student opinion, cooperates actively with the administration, and acts as a clearing house be- tween the students and faculty. This year the most important functions of the A. S. C. C. were the publication of the Freshman Handbook and the administration of the extra curricular point system. This year nominations for Typical Ed and Typical Co-ed were made through the council and finan- cial reports, required of each campus organization by the college administration, were collected through the A. S. C. C. The ALL-STUDENTS CLUB COUNCIL welcomes on the campus this year the return of Phi Delta Sigma, Phi Lambda Delta and the Seymour A. Mynders fraternities, which were in- active during the war. Faculty Advisor is Dean John N. Oldham. OFFICERS President June Wolbrecht Vice-President Nell Avery Secretary Clara Gowen Treasurer Roy Mitchell Page Fifty-Tivo Rmu 1— Nell Avery, Jane Aydelott.

The group strives to combine a devotional and inspirational with a recreational program. Three times each week, the B. S. U. sponsors a ten minute devotional for all interested students on the campus. A banquet given by the Prescott Meinorial Bap- tist Church for Memphis State ' s Baptist students was the highlight of the Fall quarter. The purpose of the banquet was to invite all Baptist students to become members of the B. S. U. In October, Genevieve Grif- fin represented the group at the state B. S. U. Con- vention at Cookville, Tennessee. Faculty sponsors for the B. S. U. are Mr. C. S. Brown and Mr. Lamar Newport, and Rev. C. L. Mor- gan of Prescott Memorial Baptist Church is the pastor advisor.

C Clara Stone Reporter Jean Ried One of the few national organizations on the campus, ilie loka Wikewam Club was formed in 1922. The name of the cltib, taken from the Indian language, meaning Home Beau- tiful, is an inspiration to members to acquire appreciations and creative skills that will aid in establishing such homes. Membership is limited to Home Economics majors and stu- dents taking Home Economics. In accordance with the movement for World Peace, activities for the year were based upon other countries. Mexico, our southern neighbor, France, and China were the three countries studied. Luncheons, pre- pared and served by cltib members, were typical of the countries studied. Customs, education, religion, and family life were dis- cussed by guest speakers and members of the cltib at each luncheon. A tea, given in the Home Economics Apart- ment welcoming new students to Memphis State, a party for convalescent soldiers at Kennedy General Hospital, celebrating Wash- ington ' s birthday, a Christmas donation of food and toys for the poor, and cookies for patients at the Crippled Children ' s Hospital were highlights in the social and helpful activities. Widespread interest occurred with the re- decoration of the Home Economics Apart- ment. The three rooms were painted in cor- responding shades of blue with the wood- work and ceilings refinished in an off-white hue. New slipcovers have also been included to add to the attractiveness of the apartment. Miss Bess Henderson and Miss Alice Chap- pell are the sponsors of loka Wikewam.

The purpose of the thib is to promote i)etter understanding of our South . meri- can neighbors, and to familiarize members with the cidture and history of these people. One of the outstanding events of the fall quarter was a Mexican supper at a local Mexican rcstamant. Native South Americans who are now residents of Memphis were special guests. During the winter and spring quarters, a numljer of South American films were sliown the club members, and several meetings were held in the homes of different members during the year. One of the outstanding speakers of the year was Mrs. Hilda Otero, who spoke on the merits of her native coiuitry, Puerto Rico. Los Picaros also took an active part in the cele- jjration of Pan .American week, which was observed this year from .April 8 through April 14.

With the war claiming most of the per- manent mem!)ers, the period of apprenticeship was eliminated this year and active work on committees were prerequisites for membership. The club is formed of students either talented or greatly interested in speech, dramatics, and work connected with acting. Members of the Sock and Buskin aided in the presentation of the annual Beauty Contest and program. Noel Coward ' s Finned Oak was presented by the Sock and Buskin Clid) early in the spring tjuarter. Under the direction of Ike Clinton ami Gene Roper, the cast consisted of Frank Butler as Henry Gow, Barbara Walker as Doris Gow, Marie Normant as Mrs. Rockett, and Marjorie Murray as Elsie Gow.

C Karl Eaheart At the beginning of the fall quarter, the veteran students of Memphis State held a meeting for the purpose of organization. By popular vote, the officers were elected and a committee, under the leadership of Robert Dean, was appointed to draw up a befitting constitution for the newly- formed association. The Veterans ' Association selected as its primary purpose the promotion of a better understanding among the veterans themselves and a true feeling of comradeship among all. They hoped to assist and help the student veteran in any capacity pertaining to his welfare and education. Another important purpose was to promote the interest of the college in general. During the winter quarter the veterans sponsored a clothing drive for the destitute peoples of Europe. They held their first social function, a formal dance at the University Center, which was considered one of the most outstanding college dances of the year. The membership of the club is growing rapidly with the increased number of discharged servicemen. Approximately three hundred ex-servicemen are now members of the Memphis State Veterans ' Association. Dr. H. J. Steere serves as sponsor for the organization.

The fortune teller, the silhouette drawings by alumna Pat Juden, the floor show, the can- died apples and the songs by alumnae Helen Parker and Virginia Holliday were the talk of the campus for weeks. White beanies with blue letters worn by our pledges was the be- ginning of a new tradition. The Xi Beta Trio, Barbara, Stevie, and Ernestine, singing for chapel and club pro- grams, so much talent that we couldn ' t let everyone perform at any one time . . . Eunice and Jackie as candidates in the typical co-ed contest . . . more parties at Ellendale, Uni- versity center, and the Spring luncheon . . . the revival of the Blue Ball with all the Xi Betas turning out lookin ' traditionally beau- tiful . . , these all highlighted our year at State. Wonderful parties given us by our spon- sors and alumnae are remembered also . . . ' specially, Mrs. Cobb ' s Ellendale house party, the spaghetti svipper, the sponsor ' s tea given at Mrs. Short ' s, the skirt and sweater swing with floor show and everything, and the de- lightful Winter Rush Tea at the Nineteenth Century Club. Then there was Stevie heading the Arabescj ue Club, Ernestine, alias Lee Barry, and her own radio program, Audrey heading the Arts Club and reporting for the Commercial, Frances Cowan and Eddie star- ring in basketball. All these events are building more tradi- tion to the sorority formed in 1929 with the aim of maintaining a feeling of sisterhood and loyalty to the shield of pearl and gold which serves as an inspiration throughout every member ' s life . . . with our motto We build for character, not for fame.

Mrs. Mynders inspired her husband in his rise to prominence in the field of education. After his death, she served for fifteen years as librarian of the institution of which he was the first president. Mother Mynders is loved by all students of Memphis State College.

Delta Sigma Chi was founded in 1943 as the Triangle Club. Although handicapped by the fact that we are a new organization, the progress that we have made since our founding has been b y leaps and bounds. Class elections last spring found many offices being filled by members of our fraternity — John Hardy as Senior Class president, Tim McGaughran as Sophomore president, }. B. Childers as president of the M Club, and Harold Perry as Veterans ' treasurer. Memories of our get-togethers are filled with those hot dogs at the first rush party . . . sleight of hand magic performed by Joe Owens . . .

Feb- ruary 14th found Delta Sigs at the Peabody entertaining the new members with a dinner- dance that was decided to become an annual affair.

WoFFORD Page Eigfi ty-Eigh t Phi Lambda Delta Although Phi Lambda Delta suffered the fate of a temporary war casualty — experienc- ing a two-year period of inactivity — the Win- ter Quarter of this year saw it take firm root and almost overnight again resimie a role of prominence it has long enjoyed. Things looked pretty gloomy a few years ago, for with the call to arms we closed our books, stored those sport clothes, packed away the rat caps and pledge pins, and laid aside our paddles. Well, we ' re back now. haxing done oiu little bit for Uncle Sam; so we ' ve put the rat caps and pledge pins back in use — and yes, we ' ve opened our books again, too! Things around the campus don ' t seem to have changed nuich; at first we had a pretty hard time getting used to all the new faces and reconciling ourselves to the fact that we lost our rooms upstairs, but soon we found our- selves having just as much fun as ever and carrying on in the same old Phi Lambda way. This year was one mixed with fun and parties, and Phi Lambdas will long remember the many good times they shared together . . . the party with the Kappas at Shelby Forest . . . the outing at Ellendale . . . the smoker and spaghetti supper at which Johnny furn- ished the cigarettes . . . that giant dinner- dance . . . and certainly not to be forgotten, those many little sessions we enjoyed after meetings, highlighted by Preacher ' s usual troubles in general, Jerry being all smiles over a certain little co-ed, and Reed with his bow-ties. Yes, this has been a year of fun and frolic; and yet, one not unmixed with some serious thoughts — thoughts and memories of those of om- fraternity who gave their lives in the struggle for world brotherhood which is to- day ours to enjoy. Therefore, it is with a feeling of pride and devotion that we dedicate this, our first repre- sentation in The De Soto in three years, to those who won ' t be around any more; we ' re wearing their pins for them, in order that they, too, may share in the achievement of the fraternity they so truly loved and were loved by.

The State squad smashed its way to victory in the very first game! Thus beginning a season which was ended just as it had begvm, with a victory. There were, as in any team, a few rough edges to be smoothed off, but Zach Curlin knew how that was done. State holds victories over Delta State, Union University, N.A.T.T.C. Hell Kittens, and won the City Championship by virtue of three victories out of fi ' e o er Southwestern, arch rival of Memphis State. High scorer for the season was Howard Street, Tiger center, who scored 121 points in twelve games. Other members of the squad were Bobby Moyes, guard; Wayne Franklin, forward; Bob Stanley, guard; and Herb Short, forward. Reserve players were Pate Carter, Rock Kelly, Bill Pennebaker, Marcus Ivey, Dan Meadows, Roy Hig- ginbotham, and David Fox. Manager, J. B. Childers. Memphis Staters, led by a group of energetic cheer-leaders, enthusiastically supported their hard-fighting Tiger cagers. School spirit ran high, especially during games with Southwestern.

Pat is typical in both manner and dress, and exhil its a personality lohich should be the ideal of any co-ed and the idol of any ' ed. ' Pat ' s vibrant personality is pure and unselfish, her siveet attitude promotes good feeling and cooperation among all. I commend Iter for unintentional popularity. Pat is well-up on collegiate fashions, valuable in extra-curricular activities, and sincere as to lasting friendships. Pat Sanders Pat Sanders and Reed Flinn, Typical Co-ed and Ed of Memphis State College, were selected by an all student election under the joint sponsorship oi the TIGER RAG and the All Student Clubs Council. During the Winter Quarter, all organizations on the Mem- phis State campus elected a candidate tor the Typical titles. In this way, a student did not necessarily have to drive a Ford or drink a Coca-Cola to join the ranks ol the typical at M. S. C. The honors were left to the opinions of the student organizations. After each organization had selected their candidate for the titles, the contestants nominated were placed on a ballot and voted upon by the students of Memphis State. The election was under the auspices of the Elections Com- mittee: Mr. Clark, Dr. Freeman, and Miss Chappell. For the first time in the history of Memphis State College, a veteran of World War II was selected Typical Ed, an indi- cation showing the extent of GI occupation of American Schools and Colleges. Runners-up for the title of Representative Students at M. S. C. were Dotta Brooks and Eunice Muskelly, Roy Higgin- botham, and Frank Albert.
