Smith, who through his outstanding educational abilities has led us to the close of a most successful year, we wish to dedicate this — our 1947 De Soto — intending to express thereby our grateful apprecia- tion for those qualities which have made him an outstanding president. College life is a vast panorama of many interesting things — picnics, hayrides, dances, smiling faces, studies shared. In these pages we have tried to preserve for you the happiness of such moments at Memphis State so that in years to come they will not be forgotten, but will be relived with increasing enjoyment.

During the course of this year it has served under three editors — Jack Printup, Ed Topp, and Betty Childers. The Business Staff, under the manage- ment of Joe Howell, has kept the names of our advertisers before us and has been responsible for the circulation of the Tiger Rag. In addition to the purely journalistic work of getting the paper out , during the winter quarter the staff sponsored the all-student election of the Typical Ed and Co-Ed. Commendation is due every member of the staff — every editor and reporter who lent time and effort to the editions of our paper.

By popular acclaim, the highlight ot the year ' s work was a concert which was presented to the student assembly dur- ing one of the ten o ' clock activi- ty periods of the Winter Quar- ter. In addition to this presen- tation, the band has provided the musical backgrounds for the College Beauty Review and for dramatic productions by the stu- dents. This remarkable improvement and the increased enthusiasm of MSC musical talent is credited to the efforts of Director Paul Eaheart and L. C. Austin, head of the Music Department. The band ' s presentations have been received with great appreciation by both faculty and students who are looking forward with interest to future concerts. Rehearsal Time f COLLEGE CHO IR A bigger and better College Choir is one of the accomplish- ments of the music department this year. Under the direction of Paul Eaheart the choir has presented several programs for the enjoyment of the students and faculty. One of the first was the rendition of a. Thanksgiving cantata, The Har- vest. This was followed in the winter quarter by a religious can- tata, Mendelssohn ' s Hymn of Praise which was presented with the help of several members of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra and the MSC Band. In addition to these programs, individual members of the choir have supplied musical numbers for various assemblies throughout the year. Page Sixlv-Niiie IV H O ' S WHO mm STUDEITS IN AMERICA UNIVERSITIES COELECES Memphis State is represented by eighteen new students who were selected to appear in the National Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universi- ties and Colleges Yearbook. The roll ot Who ' s Who includes automatically those students appointed in previous years plus the eighteen selected this year. Sixty students were nominated by the Student Activity Committee on the basis of scholastic merit, and Juniors and Seniors were allowed to vote for the sixteen whom they deemed most outstanding in scholarship, leadership, char- acter, extra ciuricular activities, and indication of future usefullness.

Eunice Muskelly, Audrey Patterson, Doy Smith The Women ' s Student Advisory Council of Mynders Hall was formed in the fall of 1946 for the purpose of supplying an outlet for student voice in the girl ' s dormitory. The organization has no authority to discipline, but in its advisory capacity discusses with Miss Rawls, the Dean of Women, problems concerning the welfare and interests of the residents of the dormitory. Since the group has a part in the making of the governing laws and regulations, more cooperation is achieved among the students. The Council this year sponsored open house and informal dormi- tory parties, endeavoring to develop a spirit of mutual friendliness in the dormitory. It also played an important part in the accjuisition of the dormitory inter-communication system. The girls who make up the Council are elected by the students of each floor to represent their section of the dormitory. This year four of the eight members are seniors, two are juniors, one is a sophomore, and one is a freshman. Audrey Patterson is the secretary of the group. The Council hopes with each succeeding academic year to become a more integral part of life on the campus. Page Seventy-One D RUMH I C PRODUCTION With the return of a dramatic department to the MSC campus came an increase in the number of student productions. Under the direction of Pro- fessor Troutman the department achieved a huge success in its presentation of the drama, The Cradle Song . Students will remember Barbara Walker, Allen Mullikan, Frances Stevenson and Alex Barnett in the leading roles. ' th r««or ei-e u., e, ' w: ny ' J. ' Vlit fe ' 6 ! ' ' ' ■■ ' ■ ' ' ' .S 5 . ' ' •f.

This comedy was such a success that a re- peat performance was given for the patients at Kennedy Hospital. Leading roles were enacted by Harold Web- ber, Bobo Meriwether, Bill Henson, John Kyle, Sam Lancaster, and Irmazel Harris. To a great extent, the success of the plays was due to a remarkable job of constructing and handling the stage scenery and backdrops by Maurice Waller, Jim Mc- Knight, and Logan Hipp. Jim McKnighr behind the scenes V;or St ' Tciilx Tiro BOOK IV ORCHnuion .,,:s;s;;.K.

Its utility is proven by the smoothness in which rushing and pledging are carried out at Mem- phis State College. A dance was sponsored by Pan in the fall quarter to enable the new pledges and organiza- tions to become better acquainted and function as a group with greater unity. With the approval of President Smith on the eight Greek organizations becoming national. Pan has made many changes. The constitution and by-laws have been changed to read in ac- cordance with National Pan Hellenic Confer- ence laws. Sites have been chosen lor houses for the Greeks on the campus. Hell week has been abolished. A new booklet. If Its Greeting you are Seek- ing, was published in order that new students might understand the correct procedure in rush- ing and pledging to Greek organizations. The membership of Pan consist of the president and two representatives from each sororities, and fra- ternities. Miss Rawls acts as faculty advisor for the council. Pan has set a precedence for the future, a cornerstone that will long be remembered by the Greek organizations of Memphis State College.

The Gypsy Tea was something That will live in all our Hearts A fortune teller told our fates The Rushing season starts. The spaghetti supper at LaVcrnc ' s Then pledge vows in the dorm. Later final rites at June ' s New Gamma Girls were born. The pledging season, with jockey caps Ancl stamps and gum and candy, Officers keeping the girls in line Made everything just dandy. The Barn Dance came with fun and glee While Joy led with the singing; Genny smoked her corn cob pipe rhc juke box was a-ringing. Ihc Gypsies dressed in mascpicrade In Hell Week costumes gay A dinner at Virginia ' s And a show wound up the day. On New Year ' s Eve we went to June ' s To ring the New Year in; A midnight show — a snack at Kate ' s Midst traditional New Year ' s din. The dinner-dance at the Claridge, Was something to remember. With Joy elected our best pledge And LaVerne most valuable member. Frieda, Mary Jay and LaVerne Have joined the Who ' s Who crowd — And Sissy with the cheering scjuad Has made us very proud.

This group de- cided to change their name, and in the fall of 1945 became a Greek-letter organization. The fall quarter has brought back many of the old Triangle Club members from our country ' s ser- vice. Among them are our present president, vice- president, recording secretary, and treasurer. This has been a year which we will not soon forget. It included a spaghetti supper held for the pledges at the Labell Community Center on October .31, a party given by the pledges for the members at Clearpool Grill on December 7, and our annual dinner dance, February 6, at Hotel Peabody. At this dance the best pledge, Billy McCaa, was presented with a gold key. Our fraternity had a very good touch foot- l all team, but we did wind up in a tie for third place with the Newman Club in the intramural tournament. As for the basketball tournament, we Delta Sigs came out on top. Mr. R. J. Coltharp is the fraternity sponsor. OFFICERS Foil President Jimmy Soffos Vice President Ed Dolan Secretary E. L.

Started off the year with a five party at Mother Rugg ' s — what a time we had with everybody talk- ing over old times and kidding the new grooms-to-be . . . remember, Childress? Next attraction was an outing at Ellendale before rush season. There was more talk than ever before . . . could it be we ' re getting older or are there just too many married men? This was the largest pledge group that we ' ve had and just about the best . . . lots of ex-service men who just loved to play games with the members on Mon- day nights. The ten weeks flew by, and before we knew it Hell Night was on hand — and what a night. Saliba beat his ride back . . . Hightower complaining like he was the only one getting the works . . . Sim- mons and company having such a long walk. The annual Bowery Ball was again one of the highlights of the year with everyone talking for days about the funny costumes that people wore. Remem- ber how Hazel Carter and Benny Lendermon looked when they were crowned Queen and King and walked off with the prizes for the best costumes. ' Member the usual celebration before and after the Black and White Ball . . . picnic Satvnday . . . all of us attending church in a group Sunday . . . the BIG EVENT Monday night . . . stag breakfast . . . the ball game in the wee hours next morn. Let it be said here and now that this group of Phi Delts challenges anybody for the marrying title . . . Maxwell, Crosby, Baird, Morton, Kelly, and Hath- away tripped down the aisle . . . not a small number for the years work. Not pictured: Delbert Acree, Wilburn H. Harris, Lee A. Haltom, Hugh C.

This has been a great year at Memphis State College with the student body reaching its high- est emollment peak in its history. Great plans are being made for the future and Phi Lambdas are looking forward to the coming years with great anticipation. Many memories have been crowded into the minds of our members chuing the year of the fun and parties which will be talked about many times. Who can forget those swimming parties at Maywood last summer — the party our swell rats with the Kappa goats gave — and the delicious fried chicken party at Shelby Forest featuring Bobo, Crudgie, and Howell in their version of The Shooting of Dan McGrew . . . those guys were a riot!!! Remember John Long and Fred Wilson, those mighty thespians, in the school productions Boy Meets Girl and The Cradle Song, but on second thought maybe we better forget that. Preacher Riley also had his troubles listening to the Phi Lambda version of New Orleans Mardi Gras — and what about the bull sessions at Pete ' s and the Pig after frat meet- ings. The wonderful dinner-dance in the Con- tinental Room of the Peabody served as a fitting climax to a year crowded with fellowship, friend- ship and fun . . .

Mynders Fraternity and Sigma Alpha Mu Sorority were named, was for many years the college librarian. After the death of her husband, she was the living symbol of all the high ideals for which he stood, and she devoted herself to seeing those ideals realized in young people. Mother Mynders passed away last year, but to those who were fortunate enough to know her she will be an ever-present inspiration, spurring them on to greater achieve- ments.

Fifteen years later Eugenia Tucker conceived the idea of organizing a secret society for girls with like ideals, background, and interest. There were sixteen charter members. It was the oldest secret collegiate organization for women. The name chosen was the Greek word Adelphean, from which word, when nationalized. Alpha Delta Pi was taken. The open motto, We live for each other, has been carried for ninety-six years, rhe diamond badge was adopted the year after the sorority was organized. The sorority colors are blue and white, and the purple violet is the sorority flower. Since 1929 Alpha Delta Pi has been inter- national with the establishment of Beta Zeta chapter at the University of Toronto and an- other chapter at the University of British Co- lumbia, The war srevice record of Alpha Delta Pi is outstanding among National Panhellenic Coun- cil groups. Our check for the maintenance of an ambulance in war torn England was convincing evidence of our sorority ' s initial war effort. The expansion of our 1851 Memorial Fellowship Fund to include the granting of fellowships to women of our allied nations gave our sorority another first to its credit. It is the practical application of our motto in world fellowship. The Gamma Eta Chapter of Memphis State College is the sixty-seventh active chapter of Alpha Delta Pi.

Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity was organ- ized in 1904 at Syracuse University with the aid of Dr. Wellesley P. Coddington, professor of philosophy, who insisted that the new group be organized from the start on a national basis. There are fifty-five chapters, five of which are located in Canada. Membership of the fra- ternity is over eighteen thousand. Alpha Gamma Delta was among the first of the national fraternities to establish an al- truistic project of maintaining summer camps for underprivileged children which have been in operation every summer since 1920. The colors of the fraternity are red, buff, and green and the flower is red and buff rose. The Gamma Zeta Chapter was organized this year on Memphis State Campus. The charter members are pictured above. Those not pictured are: Jean Downs, Rena Mitchell, Lillian Roe, Norma Tardy, Peggy Walker, Martha Woods.

It was first known as the Philo- mathean Society. The founders planned from the first for the society to be a permanent or- ganization and set high goals for membership. They originated the rituals and standards that are used even today by all Phi Mus. After the Civil War, General Robert E. Lee was extended an invitation to become an hon- orary member. After reading the beautiful and significant Phi Mu creed, General Lee accepted. Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson were shortly afterward extended the same invitation and their names follow Lee ' s in records of early membership. Fifty years after its organization, Phi Mu adopted the present Greek name. As the fra- ternity grew, it extended the scope of its ac- tivities. A scholarship fund was established in 1910. From World War I to World War II Phi Mu did its bit by sending trained recreational leaders overseas and by contributing to Y .W.C.A. activities and scholarship fimds for students in- terested in medical training. Since 1922, Phi Mu healthmobiles operated by the State of Georgia Health Department have crusaded throughout that state aiding the combat against tuberculosis. Phi Mu, the second oldest national fraternity for women, now has sixty-four collegiate chap- ters. The Kappa Lambda Chapter at Memphis State was installed March 18, 1947. Twenty-seven members were inducted. This chapter previously functioned as Kappa Lambda Sigma Sorority, a local organization.

This became the Alpha chapter and its invitation to membership was extended to all women entering Colby un- til 1879, when membership was limited to twen- ty-five. Because of the increasing number of girls at Colby, Beta and Gamma chapters were formed, but were merged with Alpha chapter in 1894. For a period of thirty years the members sur- veyed with great care the college frontiers of America, moving cavitiously because of their concern in choosing worthy exponents of the Sigma Kappa ideal. In 1904, the year Sigma Kappa became a member of the National Pan- hellenic Congress, Delta chapter was formed at Boston Uni ersity. Today her chapters extend across the length and breadth of this country, and she has stretched her hand across its north- ern border to the college women at the Univer- sity of Manitoba, in Canada. In 1894 the present pin was adopted. The colors are lavender and maroon. The pearl is the official jewel, and the violet is the official flower.

In the fall quarter the Girls ' Volley Ball team reached its goal by winning the trophy for the Intramural Volley Ball championship. This victory was due in a large part to the capable leadership of manager Pheraby Baldwin. The winter quarter the basketball team succeeded in capturing another intramural championship by defeating the Sigmas in a close tournament. Other members of the club have contributed to school activities by participating in several programs which have been presented to the student body. The Independents ' Club is open to all stu- dents at Memphis State who are not affiliated with any Greek Letter organization. The motto is Everyone Speaks. The club ' s colors are green and white.

Its activities declined in the spring of 1946, and it was replaced by the Navy-Marine Club. At the beginning of the winter quarter of 1947 it was reorganized as the Veterans Club of MSC so that all ex-service men and women could be- come members. The biggest activity on the club ' s social cal- endar was a dance given at the Casino January 14. Frankie Masters and his band furnished the music. The dance was a huge success, and it is hoped that this will be made an annual affair. The club is helping Memphis State veterans with the housing problem, giving financial aid to deserving students, and taking part in all of the school activities. It has grown to become one of the largest organizations in the school. Members not pictured: Winston A. Aver- water, W. R. Burke, J. M. Bicknell, Quinton T. Berry, J. R. Carman, J. B.

The club meets once a month to dis- cuss problems common to both the ele- mentary and secondary fields. Panel dis- cussions conducted by students, talks made by speakers from the field, and field trips to various elementary and secondary schools help to solve the prob- lems which arise in the teaching profes- sion. The organization also has various so- ci al activities throughout the year. Dur- ing the fall quarter the group was enter- tained with a weiner roast at the home of their sponsor, Mrs. Myrtle Cobb.

This title was established to honor a girl each year who has shown outstanding abili- ties and accomplishments. The qualifications which have been set up by a committee within the club are that Miss Home Economics be a junior or sen- ior, a home economics major, have an ac- ceptable scholastic record, a pleasing well rounded personality, poise, leadership quali- ties, and be well groomed and courteous. She must also have contributed towards the growth of the club. llie loka Wikewam club is a national organization which was formed in 1922.

The Memphis State Basketeers finished the 1946- 47 campaign with a very impressive record of 1 1 wins and 7 losses. The Tigers displayed good team spirit and co-operation in every game. Coach Zack Curlin ' s charges lost several games by a mere one point margin which proves that they were playing heads up ball at all times. It was not until about mid-season that the boys found their eye for the goal, and they took advantage of it. Bobby Moyes and Wayne Franklin played im- pressive defensive games and displayed great skill in bringing the ball down court and working it in to such capable ball handlers as Leslie Steele, star cen- ter, and Mainice Hudspeth and Neil Koffman, oiu- flashy forwards. The skillful ball handling of this com- bination kept opponents on the go throughout the season. These five players were capably backed up with such reserves as Pete Sisson, a very able pivot man. Tommy Crook and Van McGee, reliable forwards, and James Sawyer and Bill Rowland, impressive guards. Page One Hundred Thirty-Six Bi S K E T B U L The Tigers defeated Southwestern ' s Lynx in two ol ihe most thrilling games ol the season to win lor tile second straight year the title ol City Collegiate Champs. Other thrillers whieh kept the fans hold- in their breath from the referee ' s first whistle to the last were the games with Arkansas State and Delta State. Coach Cmlin did a snccessful job of making this cage scjuad one of the best ever to represent Memphis State. Joe Taylor and Will Wedling gave most able assistance to Zack and the team in their capacity as squad managers.

The cheer leaders who were se- lected and did such a splendid job throughout the season were Bob Beaty, Captain, Ted Brown, Co-Cap- tain, June Gwaltney, Tissie Williams, and Marene Smart.
