•■aV ' . THE IS DOCKING AT MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE 1 § fl § Page Two s og 3 %  t Page Three IP RE F AC E We of the Mississippi Valley are proud of our river heritage. The Mississippi has played a dominant part in the development of Memphis and the Mid- South. It has enriched our soil and has provided a means of transporting the fruits of the bountiful har- vests which have come from that soil. It has brought history and drama, romance and poetry, adventure and glory, color and humor, to the City of Memphis; and long ago, providing its own symbol and expres- sion of all these richer aspects of life, it brought the showboat. That symbol and all it signifies is our therne, that reminder of all the charm of the Middle Southland, that chugging, calliope-tooting boat-theatre of the Father of Waters, with all that it means retained, we hope, for the days we know and the days to come. Sym- bol of a young, brave, roistering land, with its stage a world to be brought to city or plantation-land- ing, we find it a fitting suggestion of all that Southland youth can dream about or bring to pass; and we offer it here as our theme in recognition of all we share in the heritage of the past and all we can devote to the traditions of the future. Here at your dock, then, is our showboat, its crew and players ourselves, and its spirit your own. Our work and play, and work in play, are all for you. Come aboard, come one and all, and see what we have ready to present — when the cur- tain rises on the drama we have prepared for you, for the Southland, and for the World. E T This year ' s cruise, made possible, like many others, by faithful patrons, critics, and backers who have given us their loyal support for many years, gratefully honors those excellent counsellors and friends who have befriended and aided us longest — To Miss Marie McCormick, who for 35 years has fostered a love for the Beautiful through the teaching of Art on our campus; To Professor Grover Hayden, who for 31 years has taught the Natural Sciences and has vitalized scientific thinking among teachers and students; To Professor O. H. Hughes, who for 28 years has constantly stimulated new interests in the teaching profession through his courses in Education, Psychology, and Philosophy; To Professor Zach Curlin who for 25 years has directed our interest in Physical Education and in intramurals and intercollegiate sports; To Dr. Rayburn Johnson, who for 24 years has pioneered in the social relation- ships among men and the relation between man and the universe in the Department of Social Sciences; To Dr. Nelle Angel Smith, who for 22 years has held high the torch of classical learning and has led the way to scholarship at Memphis State; To Miss Bess Henderson, who for 22 years has encouraged and cultivated students in the field of culinary arts. — We the senior class do gratefully dedicate this volume.

M. Jack Smith went to work as a school teacher at the age of nineteen and has been a schoolmaster ever since. He taught school in Middle Tennessee and the southern part of Ken- tucky as he progressed through the one- and two-room schools to high schools and administrative work in Shelby County. In 1930 Mr. Smith arrived on the campus of Mem- phis State College as principal of the College Training School, and after three years was appointed Dean of the College. He later became Commissioner of Educa- tion but resigned to accept the Presidency of Tennessee Polytechnic Institute in 1938. Two years later he re- turned to Memphis as Director of Instruction for the Memphis City Schools and remained there until he accepted the Presidency of Memphis State College in 1946. In January of 1949 Mr. Smith was called back to Nashville to serve the State of Tennessee once more as its Commissioner of Education. The State Board of Education has granted him a leave of absence from his duties as President of Memphis State College in order to serve in this greater capacity. The faculty and students of Memphis State are proud that one of our number is of such proved worth to our great State. Commissioner Smith in his capacity of Chairman of the State Board of Education is still di- rectly concerned with the affairs of Memphis ' State. He has our best wishes for continued success and our en- during gratitude. Page Ten 3F THE o LAMAR NEWPORT Our Director Our chief executive, Lamar Newport, came to us from the rural county of Carroll. After graduating from the Bruceton High School, he did his college work at Bethel College in McKenzie. While in college he divided his time between studies and snorts and made an enviable record in each. It was rumored that in addition to mastering Greek and Shakespeare, he threw the most wicked curve ball of any pitcher in the league. Following graduation from college, Mr. Newport took the Masters ' Degree at the University of Tennessee. His deep and abiding interest in education led him into the teaching profession, beginning his career as principal of the high school and director of athletics at Martin. From there he went to Henderson, as coach and teacher of science. Then followed a brief sentence at Fort Pillow. In 1941 Mr. Newport was invited to join the faculty at Memphis State College as professor of chemistry. When the Civilian Pilot Training Corp was organized, he was placed in charge of this phase of the war effort. In 1944 he became bursar of the college, serving valuably in that capacity until January of 1949, when he was asked to assume the duties of President of the College, President Smith becoming State Commissioner of Education. As Acting President, Mr. Newport has won the loyalty, respect, and unstinted admiration of both students and faculty. GENERAL MANAGER ASSISTANT MANAGER PUBLICITY AGENT TICKET TAKER R. M.

Page Sixteen The TRAINING SCHOOL The Training School with its attractive colonial architecture and its excellent teaching staff is an integral part of both campus and curriculum at Memphis State College. There under the supervision of the Training School faculty, prospective teachers have the opportunity to work with pupils from the first grade through junior high school, under conditions similar to those they will face when they are graduated into the teaching profession. In addition to actual classroom teaching, student teachers work with junior high school students in directing plays, conducting choruses, and supervising other extra- curricular activities which are given great emphasis in the Training School as being an essential part of the well-rounded student ' s education. The purpose of the Training School is definitely two-fold, for it seeks to produce good students by affording them the requisites of good citizenship, and to produce good teachers by endowing them with a responsible philosophy of teaching and a command of the techniques of effective instruction.

Our showboat, too, has its players of distinction, gifted people entrusted by popular acclaim with principal roles, stars who are loved and applauded wherever the De Soto docks. At various times throughout the school year Memphis State College Students go to the polls to select these stars, principals, and featured players; and they present here the performers who this year play the roles of Miss Memphis State, Kampus King, May Queen, Freshman Queen, Football Queen, ' Typical Ed and Coed, and Leading Ladies, and the several leading players to be listed in Who ' s Who. The Fall quarter brought at least two important elections when Freshman Queen and the candidates to be listed in Who ' s Who were chosen. The Freshmen, in an election of their own, nominated and elected their Queen, and she was crowned in an elaborate ceremony at the Freshman dance. Juniors and Seniors nominated from their groups outstanding members whose names were to be placed on the Who ' s Who ballot. A general election was held to determine the 18 students most worthy of the honor of being listed in the national publication, Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. During the also, the Football Queen was chosen by vote of the Football team. It reigned over the festivities on Homecoming Day. During the Spring quarter, the DeSoto sponsored an election to decide which girl should have the signal honor of being named Miss Memphis State, what boy should be crowned Kampus King, who should be May Queen, and what two stu- dents possessed the ideal personalities entitling them to be called MSC ' s Typical Ed and Coed. From candidates nominated for these roles by various campus or- ganizations, the student body elected the winners. The Kampus King and the May Queen reigned over the elaborate May Court which was a part of the annual Spring Festival. The annual Beauty Revue, also sponsored by the DeSoto, climaxed the year ' s activities. The candidates for the role of Leading Lady were each entered in the Revue by a petition signed by twenty or more members of the student body. A com- petent panel of judges composed of Mr. Cal Alley of the Commercial Appeal; Mr. Burton Callicutt of the Memphis Academy of Arts; Miss Eugenia Buxton, concert pianist and photographer; Miss Margaret Hayley of Hayley ' s Studio; and Mr. Stokeley of Hancock House, selected the twelve beauties to be featured in the De- Soto and the four leading beauties to be especially honored. This year ' s Beauty Revue will be especially remembered for the lights which just would not burn and for the excellent musical program provided by Tommy Grace and other members of the Varsity Show cast.

Page Eighty D IE L D PLEDGES Peggy Baker Helen Bartlett Carolyn Kernodle Jean Johnson Margaret Miller Jeannine Sullivan The college year of 1948-49 has been an activity-packed season for Alpha Delta Pi. Twenty-two girls were pledged to the sorority in a beautiful ritual at the Nineteenth Century Club. This was followed by open-house for the members, pledges, alumnae, and mothers of the active members and pledges. February brought the wonderful Cupid ' s Ball at the Colonial Country Club, and May the traditional Black Diamond Dance. The pledges entertained the members and escorts at Shelby Forest, and Founder ' s Day was celebrated by the annual banquet. ADPi members were outstanding in all fields of college activities. Girls receiving awards within the sorority were: Bettc Huffman, most outstanding member; Mimi Shea, most scholastic member; Beth Elliot, best pledge; and Anne Scobey, most scholastic pledge. The ADPi ' s earned many other honors this year, including the elections of Jean Templeton as president of Ioka Wikewam Club; of Lorraine Faquin as secretary of the Junior Class; of Alice Ball as secretary of the Student Government and Sock and Buskin; of Mimi Shea as president of the Arts Club, as secretary of the Newman Club and as assistant society editor of the Tiger Rag; of Sarah Tipton as historian of Chi Beta Phi; of Jo Turner as president of Y. W. C. A.; of Mary Lou O ' Connor as secretary of the Psychology Club; of Lee Rogers as secretary of the Cleff Club; and of Marilyn Moseley as society editor of the Tiger Rag and Helen Bartlett as secretary of Ioka Wikewam. In addition, many Alpha Delta Pi ' s served as representatives to the Student Government and the Cub Club. The very talented vocalists, Bette Huffman and Cacky O ' Hearne, ap- peared on the famed Horace Heidt show when it appeared in Memphis. Two members, Bette Huffman and Mimi Shea, were designated by Who ' s Who in American Universities and Colleges for ' 48 and ' 49. Page Eighty-One AIL D The Fall of ' 49 brought with it, as usual, a good strong wind, multicolored leaves, and the beginning of a new school year. To the Alpha Gams it meant welcoming Lois Welsh back from Atlantic City, applying themselves to new and broader fields of study, and the launch- ing of a bigger and better rush season. Particular events on the calendar were bonfires and football games, cheers being led by Shirley and Corney; Chlo ' s and Betty ' s acting in The Rivals; Betty Sanders ' being chosen Dream Girl of Pi K A ; the pledge group ' s walking off with first prize for the most original and entertaining skit at the Panhellenic Party; and, to end the season, a special formal, The Snowball, given in honor of the pledges. The Winter quarter brought active participation in club work, Doris Wood working with the Wellesley Foundation as Vice President; Chlo and Betty working as President and Vice- President with Arabesque Club, which presented The Magic Carpet of Music, the Alpha Gam participants being Jane, Joyce, Carolyn, Beanie, Jodie, Mary, Betty, and Junie. Ruby, Baker, and Chlo exhibited hidden talents as they performed with the Modern Dance Group. The feminine Debate Team of M.S.C. was exclusively Alpha Gam, Gladys, Betty, and Chlo participating. Jo Ann Holly won the only school election of the quarter, being named Fresh- man Queen at the Freshman Prom. Initiation and the Feast of th Roses were memorable occasions, especially for Barbara Goings, Most Outstand- ing Pledge. Scholastically the group was honored in that the Dean ' s List included Barbara and Virginia for the second time, and that on the Honor Roll were Lois, Gladys, Mary Louise, Dot, Beanie, and s Mary Lynn.

It now proudly claims its Beta Omega group, 74th in order of organization. The fraternity ' s badge is the quill. The colors are double blue and gold, and the flower is the pink Killarney rose. Mrs. R. F. Mikell, the second National Vice-Presi- dent of Alpha Xi Delta, came to the campus January 1 7 for the purpose of selecting the girls who were to be the charter members of Beta Omega Colony. After the girls were interviewed, a tea was given at the home of Mrs. Raymond Spencer, an alumna, honoring the future pledges. Each girl was presented with a pink Killarney Rose. The pledging of the prospective Alpha Xi Delta ' s in an impressive candlelight ceremony oc- curred on January 23, 1949, at the home of Mrs. Edward F. Thompson, an alumna on Holmes Road, Germantown. Mrs. R. E. L. Crane is Chairman of Advisers and Dr. Martha Bigelow, Mrs. Enoch Mitch- ell, and Miss Elma Roane are scholarship, financial and membership advisers, respectively. Together with other social activities, the Alpha Xis enjoyed the weiner roast at Mrs. Spencer ' s, the coke party in the fraternity room, and the party honoring the pledges at Mrs. Crane ' s. The initiation of the twenty-three pledges was held at the King Cotton Hotel on the afternoon of April 2. That evening a formal banquet honored the new mem- bers of Beta Omega Chapter, the visiting delegates, and the officers of Memphis State College. According to national custom of Alpha Xi Delta, new members at- tended church in a group on April 3. That afternoon a tea was given at the King Cotton Hotel, the guests being new members, visiting delegates of Alpha Xi Delta, officers of Memphis State College, and repre- sentatives from other fraternities. Officers who repre- sented the national council of the fraternity were: Mrs. Donald Schellenbach, national president; Mrs. R. F. Mikell, national second vice-president; Mrs. B.

DELTA ZETA Delta Zeta Sorority was founded on October 24, 1902, at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. The colors are old rose and vieux green, the flower is the Killarney Rose, and the jewel is the diamond. The Delta Zeta Badge has won recognition as the most artistic sorority pin. Gamma Iota Chapter was pledged October 24, 1947, and was installed February 22, 1948. The Chapter is grateful to our newly elected sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Agnew and Dr. and Mrs. E. I. Crawford, who have worked with us generously and faithfully this year. We have had a number of social functions to brighten our school year. After an exciting rush week that included a real jail party and a Colonial tea, we claimed 27 new pledges. In December the members entertained pledges with a hay ride and outing at Shelby Forest. There were slumberless parties, too — one at Margie ' s and one at Ruth ' s. After the initiation of 23 new members on February 5, the initiates entertained the old members with a party at Overton Park Lodge. A Western melodramer was presented by four of the new members, and Fay Willett ' s portrayal of the black- mustached villain was hilarious. After the skit awards were presented to Shirley Hartman as the Best Pledge and to Anna Pearson and Virginia Diehl, who tied in scholastic honors. On March 18, the Chapter pledged two new members, Linda McCullar and Martha Ann Gatti. Highlighting the year was a visit from our Province Director, Mrs. C. W. Ward. A formal tea was given in her honor at the home of Mary Ann O ' Neil. Our annual Rose Petal Ball was held April 30 at the Colonial Country Club. At the banquet preceding the dance, the ten D Z men who are engaged or pinned to Delta Zetas, were presented to the Chapter and initiated. Among outstanding Delta Zetas in campus activities are Al Gine, secretary of the freshman class; Ruth, secretary of Chi Beta Phi; Helen, treasurer of Panhellenic Council; Rita, writer on the Tiger Rag staff; and Fay, a player on the All-Star Basketball Team. Ann Welting won the honor of being Miss Fire Prevention in the annual beauty contest connected with the Fire Prevention Drive. Eva Cox appeared in The Women, presented by the local Little Theater. During the year many members contributed to various charity drives and visited the local hospitals.

Velma Heatherly P in Mu, the second oldest national fraternity for women, was lounded on March 4, 1852. Phi Mu now has sixty-eight collegiate chapters. The Kappa Lambda Chapter at Memphis State College was installed March 18, 1947. Since the installation it has grown in number of members and in spirit. The Phi Mu social year began with an Old Southern rush party given at Daves Manor. The first fall rush party occurred at East Lothian, where we were graciously enter- tained with a fashion show and a very impressive Dream Cake Ceremony. The Western party at Burmac Lodge was a great success. We exchanged gifts Christmas at a party given at the house of Mrs. C. E. Davis. Jean Jerry honored our new pledges with an open house party on Poplar Pike. The group later met at Pat Hoover ' s house for a slumber party. Our pledges honored the pledges of the other sororities on the Campus with an outstanding Night Club Party in the D en. At the Annual Carnation Ball, held at the Colonial Country Club, Pat Mercer, retiring president, presented Joy Forrester, the new president, with an arm bou- quet of red roses. The Phi Mu Heaven theme was carried out with thousands of carnations, stars, huge angels, and harps. We were very proud of Janie Wade when she was selected Sweetheart of Star and Crescent and Cotton Carnival Lady in Waiting. Jean Wray was chosen freshman Princess. Billie Gates became president of Pan and was also chosen as the Party Girl of Phi Delta Theta at Sewanee. Betty Raye Davis won the scholarship cup for making straight A ' s each quarter. Mary Ann Hartwell was nominated our best pledge.

To Richards Dorothy Baldauf 1948-9 has been a busy year for Sigma Kappas. Rush week brought many thrills and exeiting parties, the first being a Southern Coffee, with the girls beautifully groomed as belles of the Ole South. The week was climaxed by a Little Bit of Heaven party, held at the University Center. A Stairway to Heaven led to a celestial setting in which an original skit by June Hudgins, including angels and haloes, was presented. Sixteen girls were pledged. The Founders ' Day Banquet was a big success, and the fall season was climaxed by the election of Frances Hearington as Football Queen, with Alice Williams as alternate. At formal initiation Jo Ann Floyd was named Best Pledge, and Judy Evans was cited as having the best scholastic record. Other honors accorded Sigma Kappas were the selection of Bobbye McGee as Sweetheart of Lambda Chi and the election of Gladys Carpenter as Miss Home Economics. Four of the twelve beauties pictured in this year ' s DeSoto are Sigma Kappas. Lacey Diane was chosen second beauty, with Charline Allen, Gladys Carpenter, and Bobbye McGee also given special distinction. Alma Canada, our DeSoto editor, was selected Most Valuable Member for the year. Jo Ann Rosenberg was assistant editor of the DeSoto and Roberline Allen, managing editor. Sigma Kappas partici- pating in the highly successful varsity show were Jo Ann Floyd, Glynnc Griffin, Betty Brousc, and Jane Dietzel. During the year two of the national officers visited the campus. Mrs. Catherine Lowry, national president, was here for several days. She was honored by a tea at the Memphis Academy of Arts. Mrs. Peg Taggart, national secretary, was here as adviser during rush week. The year ' s signal honor was the chap- ter ' s winning of the scholarship award, a silver tray from Panhellenic. The beauti- ful Stardust Ball, held at the University Club, was climaxed by a procession be- tween rows of tall col- umns to the strains of Sigma Kappa Girl. Then the retiring presi- dent, Alma Canada, pre- sented the new president, Gladys Carpenter, with a bouquet of beautiful red roses.

In its five years of existence, its membership has increased greatly, its largest growth having occurred during the 1948-49 school year. Green and white are the organization ' s colors, and the emblem is an attractive I enclosed in a triangle. The Independents have been outstanding both in athletic and social activities. Second in the Intramural volleyball and basketball contests, they reluctantly surrendered to Sigma Kappa, Intramural winners, the trophy held for the two preceding years. Three Independent girls placed on the All Star Basketball Team : Mary Sanders, Jane Lutrell, and Betty Wehrum. President Mary Sanders was high scorer in the basketball league, having made one hundred and sixty-nine points, and she was second in the free throw competition. Betty Caddis was Intra- mural manager. The group was well represented in the Tumbling Feat presented in the gymnasium, with Inde- pendents Bobbie Sue Repult, Mary Sanders, Betty Jo Drcwry, and Virginia Coscia participating. Anita Bursi and Earleen Newton were two star performers. Many memorab le events filled the club social calendar. The fall quarter began with a tea at the home of Anita Bursi, honoring prospective members. Independent girls and their escorts also enjoyed two wonderful out- ings at Ellendale and Shelby Forest. During the Christmas holidays, there were numerous informal gatherings and slumber parties at several members ' homes. The winter quarter was packed with scholastic pursuits and basketball. In the spring quarter, the Independ- ents entertained with their first Bunny Hop at Memphis State College gymnasium, with music by the Swingsters, a dance to be given annually. Three members danced in the college varsity show: Bobbie Sue Repult, Betty Joe Drewry, and Shirley Ricossa. Anita Bursi was head majorette in the Memphis State band in the Cotton Carnival parades. Donna Monsarrat served as Student Government representative, and Anita Bursi as Cub Club representative. The faculty sponsor of the Independents is Mrs. Gordon Bennett.

The Gamma Zeta Chapter of Delta Sigma Pi came to the campus on April 9, 1949. The chapter had previously operated as the Sigma Delta Fraternity until the Petition to Delta Sigma Pi was accepted and the Chapter formally installed. The Fraternity pursues its objectives by sponsoring speakers, tours, films, and other activities of interest to Business majors, as well as social programs of fraternal fellowship. The International Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi was founded in 1907. It is a charter senior member of the Pro- fessional Interfraternity Conference, organized in 1928 to encourage high scholarship, professional research, advance- ment of professional ethics, and the promotion of a spirit of comity among the professional fraternities in the advance- ment of fraternal ideals. The Fraternity now has more than 60 chapters throughout the United States and Canada at colleges and universities having schools or departments of business administration or commerce.

Kappa Alpha was founded at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia, on December 21, 1865, and has remained an integral part of the Old South. The chapter was formally installed by Ransom H. Bassett, Executive Secretary of Kappa Alpha, at a banquet in the Panorama Room of Hote l King Cotton. Several informal outings were held during the year, but the most delightful was the entertainment given by the pledges at Shelby Forest. On this formal occasion, the pledges took the opportunity of presenting Roy Higginbotham with a face full of pie. The annual Bowery Ball, held at the University Club, was a great success. The costumes were gayer and more varied than those of all preceding years. The grand event was the coronation of the King and Queen of the Ball, Bill Wolbrecht and Doris Williams. As the evening progressed, the band struck up Dixie, and the pledges presented the chapter with a. large Confederate flag. The fraternity fared well in Intramurals, gaining a co-championship in football. We sin- cerely hope that all seasons will be as successful as the 1949 school year.

BOBBYE McGEE ifter operating as a colony of Lambda Chi Alpha since May, 1948, a very successful year achieved its climax when the Grand High Epsilon, Coleman Nolen, presented us with our charter on May 21 at the Colonial Country Club. The Grand High Beta gave the principal addresses during the installation weekend. The officers who guided our colony through its first successful year were Bill Mack, president; John Redick, vice-president; Jimmy Roberts, secretary; and N. B. Cheatham, Treasurer. Since September our chapter roll increased from forty-four to eighty-one, thirty of the men being initiated by the University of Tennessee chapter during installation. Lambda Chis known about the campus included E. L. Hutton, President of Student Government; Greek George, captain of the football team; Jimmy Roberts, Business Manager of the DeSoto; and Bill Mack, vice-president of the Men ' s Inter-Fraternity Council. The Tri-State dance and the Installation Dance will be well remembered as the outstanding of our social events of the year. At the Tri-State Dance, Lambda Chis from the University of Tennessee, the University of Ar- kansas, and Mississippi State College attended, and the outstanding occurrence was the presentation of White Or- chid corsages to the ladies. White roses were given at the Installation dance, and Miss Bobby McGee, Sigma Kappa, was crowned Sweetheart of Lambda Chi Alpha. Various members have attended three conclaves during the year. Representatives were sent to the Dixie, Ohio River, Great Lakes, and Great Plains conclaves.

Page One Hundred Phi Epsilon Pi hi Epsilon Pi Fraternity was formerly known as The Lancers Club. Organized on September 15, 1948, by L. D. Feder, Jr., the Lancers formally received their local charter on November 16, 1948. It was the aim of the members to become a chapter of Phi Epsilon Pi from the beginning. After correspondence with the national headquarters, the Lancers were placed on probation for three months. At the close of that period, December 10, 1948, the national headquarters sent a rep- resentative to Memphis State to pass on the fraternity possibilities of the group. Circulars were sent to all chapters of Phi Epsilon Pi for their approval. On February 13, 1949, the Colony was officially welcomed and installed at Hotel Gayoso. Phi Epsilon Pi participated well in basketball intramurals. The local chapter hopes to contribute to the welfare of both Phi Epsilon Pi and Memphis State College, taking enthusiastic pride in all campus activities.

Until then, the members of the Iota have joined hands with other clubs and frats, and entered into competition with them for the intramural sports, and planned many fine affairs for the campus, the biggest of which was May 21 formal, held at the University Club. Spring in Paris was the theme of the dance, and it included a 22-foot Eiffel Tower and a sidewalk cafe. There were flowers and small gifts for the guests. Maywood, Mississippi, was frequently visited spot in the early days of the Club, and the parties there brought many of our neighboring Southwesterners South for the Fashion Parade and the Backwoods Party. Ellendale too was the scene of many of the every-other-week parties, especially the stag affairs. One of these occasions es- pecially launched a program that will probably be turned into an annual Softball game between the Star and Cres- cent Club and the Iota ' s. Outstanding students in the Club include Carol Nunnally, who made the Dean ' s list in scholastic abilities; George Sneed from the varsity football team; Ray Watson, a backstage worker in the dramatic shows at MSC; Bruce B. Byrd, one of the Tiger Rag ' s most-read columnists and founder of the State Cub Club; and the entire membership, who put their all into some of the best decorations ever provided for a Memphis State dance.

HUGGER HURT KINNEY History of the Star and Crescent Club T« HE Star and Crescent Club was founded in the autumn of 1947 as a social organization for students desiring to become members of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. This organization was established by members and pledges of Kappa Sigma who transferred to Memphis State from other campuses. As club members the Star and Crescent group provides fraternity ac- tivities and social functions. The interests of the Star and Crescent Chib emphasize scholastic advancement, participation in sports, and social life. One of the most outstanding of the social activities was a dance given by the Star and Crescent Club, the annual Stardust Ball. The Ball was held at the University Club in Memphis, in honor of Miss Janie Wade, sweetheart of Star and Crescent.

Panhellenic ' s interest in the contribution which sororities can make toward establishing friendly relation- ship among students was expressed through a Panhellenic Tea at the opening of rush season for all girls inter- ested in sorority membership, and in the Night Club acquaintance party for the pledges of all sororities. Pan- hellenic ' s emphasis on scholarship is made concrete by an annual award to the sorority with the highest scholas- tic average. Sigma Kappa was the recipient of the award this year. The annual Spring Workshop which served as the culmination of the Council ' s program directed an in- creased realization toward the real values of sorority life. Through interest groups and a panel discussion, the valid contributions of a sorority to the individual and the school were clarified and ways of realizing these con- tributions were suggested. The program of Panhellenic justifies its recognition as one of the strongest organizations on the campus.

The Council also acts to regulate the various procedures that govern each fraternity in rushing and pledging new men. During the past year, che Council has been composed of the representatives of four member clubs: Kappa Alpha, Lambda Chi Alpha, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Sigma Phi Epsilon. Each fraternity sends to the Council a delegation of three, the president and two representatives. The officers of the Inter-Fraternity Council are elected from this group. Dean R. M. Robison acts as faculty ad- viser for the Council. In order to make provisions for new fraternal groups on the campus, the constitution and by- laws of the Council were revised. The name of the organization was changed from the Men ' s Pan- Hellenic to the Men ' s Inter-Fraternity Council. The new groups, the Star and Crescent Club and the Iota Club, were invited to join the Council, and they were accepted as members in the Spring of 1949. The Men ' s Inter-Fraternity Council has endeavored to lay a sound foundation for the future development of all fraternities on the Memphis State campus.

Its purpose is to stimulate an interest in music and to foster music appreciation among the student body of the college. The elub sponsors Classical Record programs during the Tuesday and Thursday noon hours, the entire student body being invited, and provides to all the opportunity to hear thc Boston Symphony by transcription. The project for the Winter quarter was the raising of money for a Schol- arship Fund. On March 13, 1949, at Goodwyn Institute, the members pre- sented for this purpose a very successful program, The Magic Carpet of Music, providing a worthy music student with the opportunity of at least one year ' s education at Memphis State. For the Spring quarter project, the Arabesque Club sponsored a contest for an original Tiger Fight Song, words and music, the best entry being awarded a prize of ten dollars. The Club is affiliated with the Tennessee Federation of Music Clubs. It sent delegates last autumn to the Ninth District Convention at Brownsville, Tennessee.

In 1935, Chi Beta Phi was approved as an associated society by the American Association lor the Advancement of Science. To promote excellence in scientific fields, the Fraternity awards annually a key charm to the most outstanding student member of each chapter. A candidate for membership must be at least a third-quarter sophomore; he must have an overall B average or better, a B average in all sciences, and at least 20 hours in science. Phi Chapter at Memphis State College became a chapter of Chi Beta Phi on June 14, 1947. Phi Chapter has two annual initiations for eligible members, one in the Fall quarter and one in the Spring quarter. The Fraternity observes three special night-program meetings, each of which is sponsored by one of the supporting departments, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. Phi Chapter of Chi Beta Phi holds its business meetings regularly on the third Tuesday of each month. FIRST ROW: Charles Richard Anderson; Clare H.

Participation in the College band or orchestra fulfills requirements for membership in the Cleff Club. This year, under the direction of Paul Eaheart, the College Orchestra offered credit for the first time in several years. The aim of the Memphis State College Orchestra is to provide an opportunity for student musicians to read standard symphonic works, overtures, suites, and lighter music. During the past year the orchestra has publicly presented Bach ' s Cantata, Sleepers, Wake! , a spring concert; musical support for the production of the annual Varsity Show; Mascagni ' s opera, Cavalleria Rusticana; and the music for graduation cere- monies. The Memphis State College Band, directed by Gaston Taylor, was active during the year, presenting programs between the halves at football games and a large number of special programs. The latter included concerts at Messick High School, Ripley High School, Millington, Tennessee, Tuscumbia, Alabama; participation in Armistice Day pa- rade, Fire Prevention Parade, City Beautiful Parade, Humboldt Strawberry Festival, Mem- phis Cotton Carnival; and entertainment and hospitality for the West Tennessee High School Band and Chorus Clinic. The colorful Band Day, observed in connection with Homecoming Day, is an annual feature in which high school bands are invited to participate. Future plans of the Band contemplate an increase of membership to seventy-five, a larger instrumentation, and more out-of-town concerts. The Orchestra plans to increase the string section and to introduce a more varied selection of music for study and public performances. Page One Hundred Eighteen L. =J .

On December the second, 1948, one temporary representative from each chartered organi- zation on the campus met for the purpose of organizing the Cub Club. By January the fourth, 1949, our sweaters had been ordered, our members were permanent representatives, and we had elected our officers for the following year. On February the twenty-fourth our charter was approved. Throughout the basketball season we decorated the stands, printed schedules, secured loud-speaker systems, and yelled ' til our throats ached. We met all incoming teams, decorated for school dances, and secured the help of The Swingsters and the MSC Band for publicity of school activities. We also helped the M Club sell tickets for their annual Blue and Gray game. Since we organized after the football season last year, we have had only this year to test our achievements, but we are making ambitious plans for next year ' s games. There will be new yells, decorated boxes for sponsors, season tickets for the general public, and every device we can contrive for the promotion of the College athletic program.

Memphis State ' s club has enjoyed a most successful year under the guidance of its faculty adviser, Miss Bess Hender- son, and its pastor adviser, Rev. Frank Rustemeyer. Several visiting speakers spoke at club meetings. A highlight of the year was the spaghetti supper held at Highland Street Christian Church just before St. Patrick ' s Day. Table decorations were in the traditional green. Such a round of singing followed the meal that the guests were reluctant to leave. A fitting climax to the year ' s activities was the meeting of representatives from all the religious organizations on the campus held during Religious Emphasis Week and sponsored by the D. S. F. The meeting was held in the living room of the Home Economics Department. It is the hope of D. S. F. that this will be only the beginning of a growing feeling of cooperation among the various faiths on the campus, for only from such meetings can understanding and tolerance be born.

Open to social science majors who have exhibited a comprehensive understanding, as well as an interest, in international relations, and who have achieved a high scholastic standing, the Club offers exceptional cultural opportunities. The I. R. C. feels that it has contributed constructively by creating a consciousness of the need of world peace among our stu- dents. Among the Club ' s more outstanding activities were the following: a pre-election student Presidential poll; receptions for Clar- ence Streit, author of Federal Union of the Free, and Col. Ora Cohee, regional director of the World Federation of Churches; and a series of student programs with The Background of World Peace as its theme. The I. R. C. launched its most ambitious project during the spring quarter with the showing of two films, One World or None and Where Will You Hide? for the purpose of instituting a Student Aid Fund to be used to bring displaced European students to Memphis State for study and to send Memphis State students abroad. The program is to continue and, it is hoped, grow each year. The organization was well represented by six members who attended the Regional Convention of the International Relations Clubs at Nashville. They returned with many new ideas for future developments of the group. The I. R. C. hopes that the increased world interest in peace will provide the impetus for an even bigger and better International Relations Club for the future.

The elub is affiliated with Tennessee Home Eeonomies Assoc i- ation. Any student enrolled in the Home Eeonomies Department is eligible lor membership. The purpose of Ioka Wikewam is to develop a closer un ion among members of the Department and to consider matters ol interest to the group as a whole. Early in the Fall quarter the old members ol the club entertained with their traditional tea in honor of the Freshmen. Also during the fall the Tennessee Home Eeonomies Association held its annual convention at the Peabody Hotel with the Ioka Wikewam Club assisting Miss Bess Henderson, Chairman of registration, as hostesses. Miss Henderson, one of the club sponsors, has been appointed as Chair- man of the Food and Nutrition Division of T.H.E.A. for the coming year. Ioka Wikewam was fortunate in being able to send two delegates to Jackson, Mississippi, to the annual meeting of Province V, which includes four states — • Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Louisiana. At this meeting Gladys Carpenter was elected secretary of the Province for the coming year. This spring the Club sponsored a career day for the seniors of the Memphis city, county, and private high schools. The purpose was primarily to interest girls in the many occupational fields open to those trained in home economics. The event was very successful, with about 150 girls and teachers attending. It is our hope that this idea will grow into something bigger and better. Throughout the year a cultural program followed each regular business meet- ing of the Club, with either the members of the Club or some outstanding friends of the school participating. It is the hope of the group to continue this practice in the years to come. Executive meetings have been held regularly each month, and plans are well under way for next year.

The club is mainly composed of members of the Church of Christ, but membership is open to anyone on the campus who is interested in the promotion of fellowship and wholesome recreation. The Koinonia Club was founded at Memphis State February 1, 1949, by a group of students who were inter- ested in the establishment of a social club composed of students having common ideals and interests. These students worked in collaboration with the Dean and faculty members until their purpose was achieved. On February 24, a petition for a charter was presented to the Dean of Women, chairman of Student Activity Committee. That com- mittee voted to approve the charter. A committee has been appointed to draw up the Constitution and the By-Laws. On February 24, members of Koinonia entertained their guests with a spaghetti supper at Union Avenue Church of Christ. Approximately sixty-seven guests, students, and faculty members attended. The members of the club, who are also members of the Union Avenue Congregation, sponsored the supper and were hosts for the eve- ning. The occasion was enjoyed by all. Table decorations, cherry trees and hatchets, were in keeping with George Washington ' s birthday. After the supper, the group participated in several games under the direction of the rec- reation and game committee. FACULTY ADVISERS MR. ALLEN DR. JOHNSON MRS. FOX MRS. McBRIDE MR. FOX MR.

At the final busi- ness meeting of the convention, vice-president Emily Wade was elected Province Treasurer for the coming year. The president of the Memphis State Newman Club was president of the State Catholic Youth Organization also, bringing a further distinction to the group. The Newman Club proved itself in athletics as well as in other activities. Its fine basketball team captured the boys ' intramural championship.

Brown Pat Meadows The Timothy Fellowship is a non-denominational group limited to male students of Mem- phis State College who are studying for the ministry or for mission work. There are no re- strictions as to creed. j. The name Timothy Fellowship was chosen from several submitted. Timothy was the first ' student of the ministry, and fellowship is the purpose of the organization. The purpose of the Timothy Fellowship is to form a bond of close friendship and understanding between the workers of different religious groups. It is felt that the close association brought about by this organization will better prepare each member to work with different faiths in his future ministry. A further purpose is to assist the Religious Activities Committee of Memphis State College in enriching the spiritual life of the student body. The Timothy Fellowship was organized November 30, 1948, at which time the following officers were elected to serve through the winter quarter: president, J. Sydney Carnes; vice-president, Walter Underwood; secretary- treasurer, Samuel C. Johnson; publicity chairman, Thomas Wilson. Dr. Chas. S. Brown, Chairman of the Re- ligious Activities Committee on the campus was unanimously elected Sponsor-Adviser for the group. At a later meeting it was decided that a recording secretary should be elected from outside the group. Miss Pat Meadows was elected to this office. After other details of organization and operation were worked out, a petition for a charter was sent to the Administration and the charter was granted on February 24, 1949. The Fellowship now consists of eighteen members, representing five Christian denominations. It will be per- petuated by ministerial students who attend Memphis State College down through the years. It is our hope that the presence of such an organization on this campus will be a helpful factor in the decision of many ministerial students who will consider Memphis State as a college in which to prepare for the ministry.

Some of the objectives of the Foundation are : ( 1 ) To lead students to become followers of Jesus Christ and to experience vital personal relationship with God; (2) to develop a supporting group in which individuals will mutually strengthen one another in Christian living; (3) to help create a New World-order, embodying Christian ideals and conserving the highest human values. The Wesley Foundation has completed its second year with great success. Many shared in making it one of the most prominent organiza- tions on the campus. One of the outstanding projects of the Foundation this past year was its sponsorship of four Memphis radio programs based on the theme World Peace. Although the Methodist Church sponsors the organization, the lat- ter is open to all students who desire to fellowship in Christian endeavor.

Pictures of those who sur- vived were scattered artfully about sheets of pulp smeared with Best- Test rubber cement (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.; guaranteed not to wrinkle, curl, or shrink). A twenty-four hour resident was Alma Canada, the Boss, who successfully alienated the members of the staff with her daily Are you gonna work tonight? as she cracked her whip viciously above their heads in true Simon Legree fashion. Her most faithful co- hort was Jo Ann Rosenberg whom everybody took advantage of because of her inevitable What can I do now? Each day ' s supply of Duz for scouring the mouths of naughty boys was delivered by Roberline Allen who soothed flaring tempers by suggesting that those who felt compelled to use bad, bad words might go to the Tiger Rag office to unload their burdens through special arrangements made with Nick. How often the perfect team of Martha Barfield and Jo Turner was strained when Martha tried to paste those never ending pictures cut in such peculiar shapes by Jimmy Roberts on his numerous mornings after along the double, triple, and even quadruple lines drawn by Jo, whom even a ruler could not guide. And the many hours of violent arguing over cor- rect scores and plays started by Greek George and Alton Tenkhoff ended many otherwise dull, dreary days of drudgery with bruises and bumps prominently visible on more than a few members of the staff. But the most eagerly anticipated moments were those when Bill Bass came trudging into the office with those huge, rectangular mats of clever, nostalgic drawings draped over his weary shoulders, and the office was filled with cries of Let me see, let me see! And another disrupting influence was Richard Hunt who came stalk- ing in followed by hundreds of curious students demanding to see the pictures which he produced with the generous aid of Sam Johnson and Tom Tilson. A major probJem confront- ing the staff, the systematic disappearance of N. B. Cheatham and his lists, those all important lists, was finally solved by or- ganizing a group of workers with bloodhounds to make vigilant searches sometimes extending through the wee small hours and ending in the backroom of Red ' s Place. Another problem, this time the planning and presentation of the Beauty Revue, was valiantly assumed by those two veteran troupers, Joan Hassell and Tommy Grace both of whom declare they think their legal suit against General Electric for defective lights will keep them in penthouses from now on.

We have met the most ambitious produc- tion schedule in the history of the paper. Without complete cooperation from each member of the staff it would have been impossible to have done the job well. We congratulate Bob Reilly, Marty Trabish, and Carl Barker for the efficient sales promotion they have accomplished among merchants of Memphis and the Mid-South. Jim Curry, Joe Williamson, and Jeanne Cloyes have been of invaluable assistance in editorial functions. A steady stream of news and feature work has flooded this offic e through the direction and efforts of William Oullette and Drexel Hardin. Marilyn Moscley and Mimi Shea have built up our coverage of social activi- ties so capably as to make this news second to none in the paper. Mary D. Purser has been our mainstay in coordinating club, sorority, and fraternity news throughout this year. Most of our pictures have been the handywork of Richard Hunt who has carried a heavy load in giving a pictorial record for the DeSoto as well as for the Tiger Rag. One of the student projects which has blossomed in the Tiger Rag — a literary page — was sponsored and edited by Kath- leen Clark. Among the feature writers are: Joan Hassell, Pauline Smith, Jo Ann Floyd, Frank Minnick, Rita Pierce, Pat Meadows, Christine Gadd, Max Pillow, Jean Duke and Bruce Byrd, without whom the paper would have been an impossibility. To Morton Kivel we are indebted for his excellent advice and for the wonderful job of ' covering up ' when others have tended to fall down. Nick Parrot,, Editor LEFT TO RIGHT — Front Row.

Being a competent actor, with a good wardrobe, was not enough. He had to play a band instrument well enough to appear in parades and concerts, and he had to command specialties as well. These were vaudeville bits represented between the acts of the plays offered, and they represented a wide range of talent and achievement often remarkable. Between the acts of the great educational drama, the students of Memphis State, too, present their speci- alties, their divertissements within the play — with what talent and resourcefulness the following pages will reveal. The Memphis State College Band is open to all qualified students of the college. During the Fall Quarter much of the Band ' s activity is directed to- ward preparation of half-time demonstrations for football games. Some out-of-town trips are made with the football team. At other times of the school year emphasis is given to the band as a concert or- ganization during which time programs are presented on the campus and off the campus. Plans are under way to enlarge the present fifty piece band to seventy-five pieces for the coming school year. AN It is the aim of the Memphis State College Orchestra to provide an opportunity for student musicians to read standard symphonic works, overtures, suites, and some lighter music. At various times throughout the year the or- chestra is presented in public performance, at which times vacancies in its instrumenta- tion will be filled by profes- sional musicians of Memphis.

COBB CUNNINGHAM WHITE CAIN — Missouri School of Mines — 6 The Tigers found the hides of the Miners from the Mis- souri Sehool of Mines a bit too tough and were defeated 6-0. The lone Miner tally came in the second quarter, when Ed Kwadas ripped off tackle for four yards, climax- ing a drive of thirty-five yards. Frequent fumbles and penalties put the brakes on Tiger drives throughout the game. The Tiger showed its claws in the opening minutes of the fray, when Cobb intercepted a Miner pass and re- turned it to the Missourian ' s nineteen-yard line. Scott and White moved it to the one-yard line in four plays, but a penalty cost the boys from Memphis State a good chance to score. 13 — University of Louisville — 7 The Memphis State team proved to some 5300 fans that a highly touted undefeated Louisville eleven could be beaten by upsetting the Cardinals 13-7. The Tigers scored in each of the first two periods — once on Tailback Keith White ' s two-yard plunge; and then on George Snecd ' s buck of the same distance, Louisville tallied in the second quarter for their lone counter. With Teddy Bear White leading the attack and assisted by Sneed and Stumpy Kirk, The Bengals maintained the lead for their first victory. SCOTT BEASLEY STANECH SCHAAD ZXi f 1 er f THOMPSON CRAWFORD BROWN GROSSER 14 — Murray State — 26 Kentucky — MSC learned that the good looks of Kentucky horses do not keep them from being fast, and that a Thor- oughbred can outrun a Tiger even if the Bengal has a head start. Operating behind a tricky T offensive, Thoroughbreds scored once in the second quarter and twice in the final period to put the game on ice. Cobb led the Tigers to their first touchdown, and Elmer Ray pitch- ing passes to End Bob Davie in the final quarter gave us another talley. Calvin Allen, guard, was the defensive star of the game. 43 — Tampa Game — 16 Against a green but spunky Tampa Team the Tigers, aided by every man on the bench, ran up a lopsided score of 43 to 16. The game got underway with White receiving and carrying the ball out to the 32 yard line. Eight plays later a pass from Cobb on the 1 1 yard line to Durham on the 2 yard line started the scoring festivities for the night. Five minutes later foe Regina blocked a Tampa punt on the 30 yard line and four plays later Scott scored from the 7 yard line. In the second quarter Ray returned a punt down to the Tampa 30 yard line and two plays later scored on an end sweep. During the second half Hatley ' s reserves ran wild to the tune of 23 more points. Tampa came to life in the fourth quarter and tallied on two desperation passes and a safety. HALL HAYNES SNEAD SETTLES Smith Netcher Robinson F. Medlino 21 --PENSACOLA— 27 The Navy Goslings proved that they could run as well as fly, handing the Tigers some tail feathers as Halfback Stanley Burke galloped 65 yards to score in the last half of the game. It seemed a State vic- tory was in order when the Bengals marched 67 yards to score the first time they got their hands on the ball. Right End Andy Settles took a pass from Cobb that was good for 40 yards, and Jack Scott plunged over from the one-yard line. Navy needed only five plays to even the score. Again the Tigers went for a touchdown, without losing the ball and Hayncs took it over. Navy tallied twice, just before and shortly after the half to put the Goslings ahead. Cobb gave the Tigers 7 points to put the M.S.C. team out in front 21-20, but Burke ' s climax run tucked the game under the Goslings ' wing for a Navy victory. 45— ATHENS— With Elmer Ray starring on the offensive, the Mem- phis State Tigers turned the Athens Bears everyway but loose. State scored earlv in the opening quarter, after receiving the kickoff, and did not stop until Percy Roberts plunged over from the three-yard line. Hall took the second tally over just before the first quarter ended ; and with Ray, Barker, and Gibson covering ground in the following quarters to score, it was strictly State ' s ball game until the final gun. The Memphis line stopped the Athens team on the ground just as effectively as they smothered the air route. Caldwell Hoffman Davie Meadows - W.

It didn ' t take them long to find out that a Bengal is a mighty tough customer. Featuring a T- formation with lots of razzle-dazzle, the Raiders were halted many times by the State forward wall. State ' s first score came in the first quarter, when Jack Scott carried the ball from mid-field to the Raider 2-yard line. John Hall vaulted over on the next play for the touchdown. Cobb kicked the extra point. The score stayed that way until the fourth quarter, when Guard Grover Lipe recovered a Raider fumble on their 36- yard line. Cobb fading back to pass decided to go up to the middle and took it over for a touchdown. 14— LOUISIANA TECH— 20 Hungry for Tiger steak instead of Turkey for their usual Thanksgiving dinner, the Louisiana Tech Bull- dogs ripped off three filets from the flanks of the Bengal. The Tigers missed a tie by six inches, for they were stopped by a Bulldog stand in the second period. John Hall brushed the Bulldog aside to score the first touchdown for Memphis, but the Tiger lead was short-lived, for Tech started to ramble and evened the score. After the half the Bulldog line began shoving the State boys around and soon rolled up another touchdown. Cobb ' s arm began to get warm and hit Haynes on the Tech 40. Haynes ram- bled the rest of the distance untouched, making the scoreboard even. Not to be stopped, Tech tallied in the last 50 seconds of the game to give the Bulldogs a 21-14 victory. Andy Settles and Ward Poag played a fine game of defensive ball for the State team. Poag Ray Cromer M. George 0— MILLINGTON--14 The Navy Hellcats felt right at home in the rain and stopped the college boys in a second-period push. Bill Hulsey ' s fine kicking acted as the big gun for Navy, and kept the Tigers on their heels all night. Memphis State penetrated the Navy 30-yard line on only two occasions, once in the first quarter when they reached the 20-yard line, and again in the final stanza when they slipped to the 25-yard line. 34— ARKANSAS STATE— 13 The final home game of the season boosted the Tiger wins to six against four defeats. After a scoreless first period, the Bengals with Ray and Haynes leading the drive scored the first touchdown. With less than 40 seconds of the second quarter remaining, Cobb hit Cromer for three straight passes to put the ball in scoring distance. Haynes took it over from the eight-yard line. The State line led by Cain, Robinson, Crawford and Greek George, bottled up the Indians ' T- formation, while the Mcmphians scored another touchdown by Scott. The Indians tallied to obtain their first score; then Keith White, Memphis ' versatile back, sprang his spectacular sprint for 95 yards. Kirk to Bcasley on a pass from the 12 was the final Tiger score. The Indians, trying to retain what was left of their scalp, scored on a pass in the final minutes of the game. Page One Hundred Sixty-Seven Paul Could Only See Me Now! Umml The Run Was Worth It 21— UNION UNIVERSITY— The Olc Grads will have several things to remember from the 1948 Homeeoming game. The spectacular half time dem- onstrations: crowning of Frances Hearington as Football Queen, eight high school bands, a splendid football game— and a misty rain. The Tigers dominated the play by rolling up 276 yards on the ground to Union ' s 99 yards. Union held State by great goal-line stands just before the half and in the final minutes, holding the score down. Cobb to Settles via the air route racked the first score for the Tigers. The third quarter pre- sented a different story — White ' s pass to Crawford to put the ball on the 17-yard line, and Scott cracking the middle of the line for the first of his two touchdowns. Having found a liking for Bulldog meat, Scott tried again, that time racing 89 yards for the final score, and the longest run of the game. x 36 16 %5 58 22 J I £ 66 56 y 62 .v ' ■ 82 17 A gik V BASKETBALL SQUAD: FIRST ROW: Appling, Mgr., Creason, Van Mathis, Paoletti, Kingsolver, Darnell, Hodson, Samuel, Mgr.

McCoy Tarry came to Memphis State from Brewers High School, Brewers, Kentucky, where his teams had won the State championship for the past two years. Beginning with Coy Creason, Tarry filled out the rest of his team with such stellar players as Hodson, Van Mathis, Owens, and Schmollinger. Considering that four of his starting quintet were freshmen, it is notable that Coach Tarry ' s Blue and Gray team won 1 1 and lost only 10 games. The Tigers swept the City Collegiate Series from Southwestern by winning both games played against that College. Memphis State can confidently look forward to great teams in the future, with the brilliant coaching which the Little Redhead provides. Coach McCoy Tarry Page One Hundred Seventy Co y Creason, diminutive guard for Memphis State ' s Tigers, proved that size is not essential to an outstanding basketball player. Creason was a go-getter in the Tiger line-up throughout the sea- son. A hard-driving offensive player and stalwart defense man, Coy emerged as one of the stars of the year.

In competition with colleges throughout the state, the team represented by eight men finished in third place. Paul Haynes won the high and low hurdles. John Cobb won second place in the javelin throw. Mcndrop in the half-mile finished fourth in a field of eighteen runners. Durham placed fourth in the 440-yard run; and the half-mile relay team, consisting of Roberts, White, Durham, and Haynes, finished in second place. The total results of the meet placed Tennessee first, Vanderbilt second, and Memphis State third. Page One Hundred Seventy-Six Mendrop clears a high one Spikes down the cinders . . .

With the cheering section filled with loyal rooters, each team battles its way toward those coveted basketball, volleyball, track, and baseball trophies which are presented each year at the Spring Festival. This year ' s games were marked by especially spirited competition, and when the dust of battle had cleared away, the Sigma Kappas were found to be on top. They carried away all five trophies.

Some of the joys of busy college days, too, must be reserved for the future, when, it is hoped, the reminders in this scrapbook will bring reflective happiness to our players, then voyaging in other ships on greater waterways — with the show- boat only a memory.

We hope you ' ve liked the show. Our players, on tiptoe, listen eagerly behind the curtain for your applause; we know that before you go down the gangplank to the merry tooting of our calliope, you ' ll join us in giving a hand . To those who have aided us in bringing the 1949 DeSoto to you, among them Dr. Bouvier of the English department, who has given most generously of his time and contributed many of the ideas which make this show unique. To Richard Hunt, who with his camera has become a figure on the campus, taking excellent pictures of people, places, and things. To Bill Bass, who has spent hours at the drawing board producing the illustrations you have seen on all these pages. To Roberline Allen whose untiring efforts and originality have made many of these pages outstanding. To Jimmy Roberts who handled the finances and did all sorts of odd jobs. To Nick Parrott and the Tiger Rag staff, whose excellent publicity has enabled us to meet many deadlines. To Mr. Woods at S. C. Toof for his splendid layouts and his willing cooperation in helping us to solve all our printing problems. To Mr. Trickett, also of Toof ' s and to Mr. Cole at the Memphis Engraving Com- pany, who gave us valuable cooperation. To all these, and to all those others, both on and off the staff, who have spent their hours for two quarters in the DeSoto office, we express our sincere appreci- ation. And, among them, particularly, Jo Turner, Martha Barfield, Tommy Grace, Greek George, and Alton Tenkhoff. It is our sincere hope that you have enjoyed the performance we have given and that in years to come you will look back with kindly memories to the year when the showboat docked at Memphis State.
