H L m H 111 R T E R Stand firm, () Alma Mater Through all the years to come; In days of youth and beauty Thy halls have been our home. In time of preparation Great lessons didst thou teach, Till now, O Alma Mater, The stars we ' ll strive to reach. Lead on, O Alma Mater, Thy sons to higher ways, Give light and truth unto them For all their coming days. To thee we ' ll give all honor, Our hopes abide in thee, For thou, O Alma Mater, Hast made us ever free. — . . W.

Our fun has not been limited to this campus but it extends to our families, our friends, and our communities. We are proud to present the 1948 DeSoto, and we hope you can derive much enjoy- ment from it.

Pane Seventeen in m e m o r i n m MISS ALICE CHAPPELL In the death of Miss Alice Chappell, for twenty years an instructor in the tine arts of home making, the faculty of Memphis State lost a useful and worthy member whose teachings will be practiced in the lives of her students for many years to come. She possessed all the good taste and refinement which aided in the worthy use of her life to which the college will ever be indebted. Her many ideals toward which she strove were ac- complished with no affection and in a manner ever congenial and harmonious. DR. CLARENCE E. MOORE For nineteen years a professor of biology on the campus, Dr. Clarence E. Moore will long be remem- bered by his many students and friends. Virtually a scholar, he devoted his time and in- terests entirely to his profession; delighting in con- ducting groups of students on field trips and partici- pating in activities of the several scientific organiza- tions to which he belonged. A widely known authority on animal and plant life, his death has been a vital loss to Memphis State.

Gamma Zeta Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority was pledged on March 12, 1947, and was installed April 12, 1947. Since that time the Alpha Gams have made many friends among the alumnae and have enjoyed innumer- able hours together at dances, sing songs, alter dinner corree parties, meetings and banquets. Most exciting of all events during the year was the honor which went to Barbara as Miss America and the thrills the members had when they modeled in her fashion show on her homecoming clay. Equally thrilling was the surprise banquet which the alumnae gave in her honor. Page One Hundred Eighteen OFFICERS President Joyce Juden Vice-President Eula Sansing Secretary Shirley Taylor Treasurer Mildred Hood We had two exciting parties during rush week and twenty-seven pledges were claimed. One of the most enjoyable parties was a treasure hunt and skating party given for the pledges and followed by a slumber-less party at Rena ' s. A Christmas party was held with the alumnae and everyone went to the Crippled Children ' s Hospital where we sang Christmas Carols to the children. Highlight of the winter quarter was the formal initiation which was held at the Peabody and was followed by the annual Feast of Roses, where Lois Welsh received the Diamond Award for having the highest activity rating among the pledges. Chlorita Gaines was awarded the scholarship plaque for holding the highest average. The year came to an end with the annual spring dance after a chicken and bean dinner where the holders of the highest activity score ate chicken and the others feasted on beans.

As guests ar- rived and cameras flashed we floated about in our excitement. We were all pleased with our new badges. In March we added three new pledges to our fold with an impressive cere- mony, and in May we initiated five more girls into Delta Zeta. The initiation was followed by a garden party and then the candlelight service in memory and honor of our six founders. Each new initiate was presented a corsage of pink rOses. May 22, we held our Rose Petal Ball, at the Colonial Country Club. The leadout was begun by each member presenting her escort with a buttonnaire and singing of our song by George Sawtell.

This year has been a memorable one for Sigma Kappa. Not only have mem- bers maintained a high scholastic rating, but a gay social calendar has not kept them from active participation in dubs and athletics. Second only to the Independents in basketball and volleyball Sigma ' s have made a record in athletics this year. Lois, Jane and Alice did some real playing to wrest the Softball championship from the Independents. Marilyn and Shirley were outstanding in the track meet, winning honors for the sorority.

Delta Sigma Chi Fraternity was formerly the Triangle Club, which was organized in the spring of 1943 by a group of sports-minded as well as socially- minded men. This group decided to change their name, and in the fall of 1945 became a Greek-letter organization. This year has been very favorable lo us, and we have been very fortunate in obtaining two new sponsors, Mr. Sisco, and Dr. Crawford.

Our fraternity made a very good showing in sports, and won the intramural trophy for touch football. Oui of the new members thai were initiated this year Garth Kimbrough was selected as best pledge and will be awarded a gold key. At the end of this school year we bid adieu to Delta Sigma Chi. At Hotel Peabody on May 22, forty-three active members and alumni of Delta Sigma Chi, including Dr. Edward I.

Wayne Franklin was elected as Kampus King, an honor voted on by the entire student body, and in a later election Lee and Cissy Haltom were elected Typical Mr. and Mrs. on the Memphis State campus. In intramural sports Phi Delts fared well. We won a trophy in football and placed second in all other events. Joe Taylor was intramurals manager.

With the beginning of the I all quarter the Phi Lams saw the beginning of their greatest year on the campus since the group was organized in 1912. This was the year that witnessed the change from Phi Lambda Delta to Memphis State ' s first national social fraternity — Pi Kappa Alpha. The week-end of De- cember (i and 7 was designated for initiation and installation of the Delta Zeta Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha. Pi Kappa Alpha was founded at the University of Virginia in 1868 and Delta Zeta chapter marked the 87th active chapter on the fraternity r oll. Mem- phis has been selected for the permanent home of the national headquarters of the Fraternity.

Four first half touchdowns took-f a lot of the fight out of the Cen- tenary team, and though it came back in the second half to get a tally, it never seriously threatened the Tiger lead. Hard Driving Line Memphis State ' s hard charging forward wall had a great deal to do with win, for it blocked two punts, covered a fumbled pass from center by Gents, and generally out- charged the opposition. After the opening kickoff came to the Tigers, Tailback Keith White led his mates on a surge to the Gent 10-yard line. There the attack stalled, but when Centenary tried to kick out of danger, Joe Regina blocked and recovered the ball. A few plays later Brick Ma- son drove over from the Gent one-yard line for the first score. Later in the first period, Eck Hunter fumbled a Centenary pass from center. The ball rolled 15 yards back into the Gent end zone and Calvin Allen, Tiger guard, fell on it for the touchdown. Lay- mon Kelly ' s try from placement was good. In the second quarter, State struck for another score when Earl Netcher blocked an attempted punt by Hunter on the Centenary 15, and Dippy Coles covered the ball on the invader ' s one-yard line. Fullback Joe Scott crashed over for six points and Kelly missed his try for conversion. Steals Pass To Score The final State tally came just before the end of the first half when Harry Jones pulled one of Jerry Potter ' s aerials out of the air and raced clear to the Gentle- men ' s 14 yard line before being pulled down. Moments later, Half- back Paul Haynes circled right end for 10 yards and the last of Mem- phis State ' s scoring. Kelly made his kick from placement good for the extra point. Page One Hundred Sixty mURROV STRTE us. HI E 111 P H I S STRTE Coach Ralph Hatley and his squad of thirty-five players boarded a bus and invaded the Murray Stale Thoroughbreds in Murray, Ken- tucky. The Tigers got oil to a good start with several passes in rapid suc- cession they had crossed Murray ' s goal line for a touchdown. The score came on a twenty-five yard pass from Keith White to Earl Netcher. In the second quarter Paul Haynes broke loose on a reverse and raced 45 yards to pay dirt only to have it called back by officials. The first half of the game ended with the Tigers in the lead 7 to 0. In the second hall the Thoroughbreds came back and scored twice while holding the Tigers ' offensive machine scoreless. Both teams played heads up ball and fought for every yard. The game ended with the Tigers on the short end of the score. They were ahead in every other way. Final score of the game was Murray State 14, M.S.C. 7.

As is customary when the Blue Tigers play in Memphis, it rained, and Crump Stadium got pretty slick toward the end. But for three periods this was a thriller, a real offensive battle that had a gathering of 3440 making whoopee enough for twice the num- ber. And the little knot of Arkan- sas State fans almost had the oc- casion for a real celebration in the fourth period. Their red-garbed In- dians came pretty close to pulling it out of the fire. Memphis Pressed Much too close for Memphis State ' s comfort. The Indians went as far as the Tiger 29, and with fourth down, one to go, elected to kick. Then they went back to the 15 and Lamon Kelly, a truly fine center, intercepted an Everett Bol- ton pass to pull out of danger. Arkansas State ' s feet were to the fire in most of the game, however, and the Redskins had to come surg- ing from behind twice. The Tigers scored two touchdowns with con- summate ease, Keith White passing for one to Paul Haynes and skit- tering 53 yards for the other in the first 10 minutes of the game. Don Luketich got one of these back on a pass to Keith Doane in the second period and Bolton threw to Bill Perry for the tying points. Then Dippy Coles carried a boomerang pass back 63 yards to set Memphis State on the right track again, Elmer Ray going over from the three, only to have Ar- kansas State retaliate in the third quarter on another Lukatich to Doane pass. Both Harry Costello and Joe Shaw had a chance to be heroes by kicking extra points, but one out of three was the best for each. Billie Gates, Alma Canada, Cornelia Willey, Dot Hubbard, Football Queen, Will Medling, Football Captain, Jean Raymond, Pan Hellenic President. With the return of football in a big way to the campus Memphis State witnessed the return of a Football Queen to be crowned on Homecoming Day at the game. To create community interest in Memphis State athletics Coach Humphreys asked each sorority to nominate a candidate for queen and sell season tickets to the games. The sororities cooperated with him in promoting the sale of the tickets with the result in view that the sorority whose candidate sold the largest number of tickets would be named Queen. At the Homecoming Game with Austin Peay Dorothy Dale Hubbard was crowned Football Queen of Memphis State by the Captain of the team and the other candidates were named as her maids. Page One Hundred Sixty-Four Memphis State Closes Season By Smashing Austin Peay, 40-0 By EMMETT MAUM Climaxing a highly successful return to football, Memphis State Tigers ripped apart the defenses of Austin Peay Governors, Clarks- ville, Tenn., yesterday, scoring in every quarter for a 40 to home- coming victory before 1485 spectators, at Crump Stadium. This gave the Statesmen six wins against two defeats and one tie in the team ' s first gridiron season since 1942. They had 238 points against 60 for the opposition. The game was just two minutes -f old when Memphis State dented scoring sod, the Tigers taking the kickoff and driving straight down the field to the end zone. James Finley of Austin Peay kicked off and Ray snagged the ball on the 15 and raced 17 yards. Then Brick Mason made nine yards, and Ray added three. Next came one of the best runs of the game, when Paul Haynes broke through and sprinted 42 yards to the Governor ' s 14. From there, Ray sailed around right end to score, but Kelly ' s placement try failed. Eight minutes later Memphis State scored again, and once more Haynes led in setting up a touchdown play, this time on a 32- yarder to the Peay 25. Ray picked up five, but Haynes went without gain. Then Scott recovered a State fumble that set the ball back to the 25. Ray uncorked a nifty pass to Holloway Cromer, good to the one. Scott drove through center to score, and Ray carried over the extra point. Peay To Tigers ' Five Peay made its only serious threat later in the first quarter, and scored when Edgar Settlers hurled a touchdown pass that went from the Governors ' 42. But a clipping penalty sent the ball back to Mem- phis State ' s 26. On third down, Glenn Sager pitched to Finley to the Tigers ' 13. Three passing tries failed, and on fourth down Sager tossed to Stewart for eight yards. the Memphians taking possession on their five. Next Memphis score came in the second quarter. Ward Poag started it by intercepting a pass and run- ning it six yards to Peay ' s 24. Ben- ny Linderman made five around end, but no gain was achieved on the next two downs, Ray passed to Andrew Settles, who lateraled to Fred Medling to the Peay 10. Ray failed to gain. Then Roberts pulled out from guard, raced around right end to tally. Extra point try failed. The Bengals added two more scores in the third period. Nolen Pendergrast recovered a fumble on Peay ' s 22, Lloyd Marcus picked up seven yards, then one yard. Kirk literally steamrolered over Peay to score from the 14, and Kelly booted the placement. Interception Brings Score Another interception figured in the next marker that sent the score spiraling to 33-0. Hester snagged a Peay heave by James Finley and galloped 35 yards into the end zone after 11 minutes of the third quar- ter. In the fourth period, Peay ' s Fin- ley kicked out on the Governors ' 20. Mason made eight yards, then five through the line. Scott drove to the three and on the next play added a yard. Kirk rammed thru the left side of the line to score the final touchdown, and Kelly kicked the point.

Every game was packed with thrills and the air was tense the whole time the ball was in play. Coach Zach Curlin ' s men displayed the usual good team spirit throughout the season. They played many close games and even the losses were hard-fought battles. Randall Smith, Paul Haynes, Wayne Franklin, Bobby Moyes and Neil Koffman were the usual starters in the games, with Gene Poaletti, Jack Schmollinger, and How- ard Street, and Tommy Crook as able substitutes. James Head, Othel Mendrop, Bob Boaz, William Oakley. Don Robinson, and Charles Earhart were others who also displayed their ability to handle the ball skillfully. Coach Curlin proved his value to the squad in this successful season. He was ably assisted by Joe Taylor and Charles Thomp- son. At every game the State supporters showed their loyalty to the Tigers in their large at- tendance. Moyes and Schmollinger at right in one of the hard-fought battles. Page One Hundred Sixty-Nine HYSON, SONNEMAN, TURPIN, LINEBERRY, PRIMM, WILLIS The Memphis State tennis team, ably coached by Mr. Robert Crane, marched through a better than average season, winning six meets while losing only three and two being cancelled due to inclement weather. Led by Glenn Tnrpin the burden of the team was upheld by Jack Sonneman, Fred Lineberry and Kenny Hyson. They were backed by Alma Primm, Fred Frazier, Fred Willis, Bill Wolbrecht, and Jamieson Brant. As usual, competition was stern and also light. The toughest competitors proved to be Mississippi State, and Birmingham Southern. The Tigers lost the opening game to the Maroons of State 6-3. The following match with Howard College was rained out. The next clay the Tigers lost to Birmingham-Southern 5-2. For the second game with Mississippi State the Tigers invaded Starksville, and were behind 2-3 but rain forced conclusion of the matches, with two doubles engagements remaining. On their return they beat Southwestern 5-4. Ran down to Ole Miss and won 6-5, came back to beat Arkansas State 9-0, beat Southwestern once more 5-4 to become city collegiate champs, grabbed a bus for Delta State, rolling through 6-1, led the same team back to Memphis, and then sent them home on the short end of a 6-0 count. After this furious pace, they settled clown to work preparing for a return en- counter with the Rebels only to lose 6-2. Page One Hundred Seventy The team was represented at Sewanee in the State meet in May by Turpin, Lineberry, Sonneman, and Frazier. Sonneman and Frazier lost their first round singles matches and after teaming, duplicated the feat in doubles. Lineberry beat Middle Tennessee in the first round and lost to Vandy in the second. Tur- pin smashed by Southwestern and Sewanee, losing to Vandcrbilt in the quarter- finals. The two boys then teamed and in the order mentioned, defeated South- western, Chattanooga and Vanderbilt, reaching the finals in doubles, they came up against East Tennessee State Teachers, and after a hard-fought match, lost in three sets 3-6, 6-3, 5-7. In regards to scheduled matches, not including the state meet, Turpin was the only man to go undefeated — in singles, and with his partner, Lineberry did the same in doubles. The remainder of the team, however, played very capable and earnest college tennis throughout the entire season. Our praises go to them for a job well-done. .wHS PRIMM, WILLIS, HYSON, SONNEMAN, LINEBERRY, FRAZIER, WOLBRECHT, TURPIN, CRANE Page One Hundred Sei ' enty-One Jones, Duke, Ray, Brown, Kirk, Watson, Tucker, Akers, Crook, Stahl, Cromer, Jones, Bledsoe, Thorn, Mason, Fabiano, Oakley, Beall, Gilliland. Memphis State renewed baseball after a lapse of ten years, under the watch- ful eye of Coach Leo Davis. An eleven-game schedule was drawn up and the season got under way. The Tigers opened with a two-game series with Valpariso University. This resulted in one game won and one lost. Next the University ol Illinois squad moved into town. They came out victorious in this battle 1 I to 5. Following the three-game series with the two midwestern powers, the Tigers began playing the conference teams including Murray State, Arkansas State, and Delta State. The Tigers finished on top in every series except two. Work is being done on the field now and when completed h will be one of the best college fields in the midsouth.
