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.
