T. Aiumni Association. Legislators Preuent Uniuersitv Efforts of educators and civic leaders to elevate MSC to university status met sudden death on the senate floor of the Tennessee legislature. The proposal began in Shelby county by the work of civic leaders and the college administrators. The plan was to incorporate MSC in the University of Tennessee and place certain courses now taught, on the plane of university status. The plan called for three colleges, Busi- ness Administration, Education, and Liberal Arts. On November 6th, a special U,T. faculty committee MR. RAINWATER— The distance between Knoxville and others parts of the state merits a university closer than Knoxville. MR. JAMES O. BRISTER— Students living within a seventy-five mile radius find it more convenient to commute to MSC than to attend the University of Tennessee. MR. ROWLETT PAINE — Shelby county financed John Gaston Hospital for the use of U. T. medical students. The distri- bution of taxes merits a university at Memphis. STUDENT DELEGATION TO TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE —are left to right: Austin Bush, David Williams, Alvin Holmes, Bob DeZonia, Betty Terrell Curtis Eldred, James Brister, Frank McGoffin, Bill Chumney, Bob Griffin. visited the state campus and approved in principle ttie idea of inaugurating Memphis State into the U.T. system. The proposal was supported by former Mayor Rowlett Paine and Senator T. Robert Acklin, as well as the Mem- phis branch of the U.T. alumni. The board of Trustees of the university at Knoxville as well as Dr. C. E. Brehm, president, gave their full approval. Making Memphis State College a part of the University of Tennessee in- volves no changes in the organizational set-up in the colleges at Knoxville or medical units at Memphis or other parts of the University. He pointed out that more than 1,000 students are now attending the University ' s extension service night classes in Memphis because they cannot for various reasons be residence students on the campus at Knoxville. The major opposition came from east Tennessee polit- ical factions. The civic organizations of Knoxville with the political group were able to sway the vote against the Shelby county delegation. As the MSC student body listened to the proceedings they heard almost three year ' s work die in fifteen minutes of political argument on the senate floor. LOCKMILLER— Perhaps it would be better if there was a survey of the plan to make Memphis State a university and part of U.T. MR. SAM McAllister — This would weaken the parent university at Knoxville. SENATOR T. ROBERT ACKLIN— A uni- versity is needed for the student. of Shelby county and this area. U. T. STATUS is the topic of discussion between Dr. Andy Holt of the University of Tennessee and President J. M. Smith. TALKING SHOP at an informal dinner are Dr. Evans (1), Dr Johnson (2), Dr. Stockdale (3), Dr. Cole (4), C. C. Humphreys (5), and Dr. Hodges. Page Eleven TOPIC EXPANSION— Discussing expansion of facilities at Knox- ville and Memphis are Governor Browning, President Brehm, and President Smith. U. T. TRUSTEES— Members of the Board of Trustees of the University of Tennessee met in Memphis and ap- proved the plan for elevation of Memphis State.

SOMEHOW WE MANAGED The line not only did not hold — it fell apart Page Thirteen STUDENT GOVERNMENT BILL CHUMNEY Student Government President EUGENE BOLLINGER Vice-President MARY FRANCES HARE Secretary The Student Government is not an organization but an instrument by which students may express their opinion to the administration of the College, and by which each organization may exercise an official voice in determining the rules and regulations under which they shall operate. The Student Government this year under the leadership of President Bill Chumney has had one of its most successful and progressive years. It has made outstanding accomplishments in the field of legislation which are evidenced by the following: Five amendments to the Student Government Constitution which greatly strengthened it. Broader regulations regarding campus elections were enacted. Resolutions asking the State Legislature to establish UTAM and to explain our stand on the UTAM Bill were passed. The administration was requested to institute an improved method of counseling, to establish a Publications Board, to state policy regarding a Varsity Show and to change the method of averaging grades beginning in the fall quarter in the new catalogue, counting F ' s as D ' s. This year ' s Student Government also sponsored the following activities; Two all-student dances, an orientation program for new students, the Ugly Man Contest, the MSC Beauty Revue, a representative for the Maid of Cotton Contest, the selec- tion of Mr. and Miss Memphis State, Typical Ed and Co-Ed, and May Queen. In addition the Student Government now has its own administrative office on the third floor. Student Faculty Council discuss policies with Vice-President Bollinger. They are, from left to right; Dr. Rudolph, Dr. Brown, Eugene Bollinger, Mr. Shephard, Dr. Streeter, and Dr. Cornelius.

The Cub Club has continued its fine work in the boostering of school spirit and publicizing of athletic events. The biggest project which the club undertook was the supervision of homecoming decorations. For the winner of this contest, we awarded a trophy. Also the Cub Club helped the M Club in the enforcement of Freshman Regulations. We decorated for all the football and basketball games besides helping with the publicity of these events. The Cub Club has made great strides this year, but it hopes to make still bigger strides within the coming year. MEMBERS DECORATE FOR ALL-STUDENT DANCE.

Page Twenty-seven ieA j tnaae Left to right — Dr. Bannon, Dr. Cornelius, Nolen Bradley are the literary genuises behind the Memphis State Literary magazine LES IMAGE. Les Image has grown in stature since the Spring of 1949. Now in its third year, the club is designed as a sounding board for budding young talent who are interested in creative writing; it serves as a medium wherein original materials are discussed and improved. The group pub- lished the best material biannually this year in its official organ, Imagine. This year, the group met once a month for informal teas at individual homes and had two banquets; the final one — with a dance — at the end of the school year at the Hotel Claridge. The five members pictured here have shown themselves as stellar contributors to Imagine this year. Other members include Betty May, Myrtle Jean Dabbs, O. D. Yancey, Rachel Gibson, Mar- celle Lesselle, Jolee Taylor, Mabel Vick and Beth Stratton. Nolen E. Gene Bradley and D. Lowell Holbrook were editors for this year. Beth Stratton was Secretary and Gene Bradley was Student Government representative. The faculty advisors are Dr. Peter Bannon, Dr. Rowland M. Hill, and Dr. Samuel R. Cornelius. Les Image has now published seven issues of Imagine and has sent representatives to the Southern Literary Festival last year and this year. The club has had many stimulating and en- joyable meetings this year, thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Bannon, Dr. Edward Lewis, Miss Betty May, Dr. and Mrs. Claire Bennett, Mr. and Mrs. John E Farnor, and Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wynn. Les Image is looking forward to the time when Imagine has behind it a tradition of long service to the College. Among the major contributors to LES IMAGE are (left to right) D. Lowell Holbrook, Martha Blanchard, Nolen Bradley, Ernest Witte, and Warren Wilder.

The actual election was conducted and financed by the Alpha Phi Omega Club, men ' s service organization. Actually, the election is a popularity poll and proved to be one of the most spirited elections of the year. UMC is to become a standing tradition. Besides being hon- ored as the first UMC, Bill was presented with an elaborate array of gifts.

The 2nd rush party was the Wishing Well Tea at Mrs. James Pidgeon ' s on E. Parkway. After the tea the members presented the traditional Wishing ceremony. Holding candles, the active members formed the friendship circle around the well. The guests then tossed new pennies in the well as they made their wishes. The final rush party was held at Mrs. W. D. Evans in Chickasaw Gardens. On Oct. 9, twenty-five girls began an experience which they will never forget — that of pledging ADPi. The next night, the Alumnae gave a Harvest Banquet at the University Club honoring the new Centennial pledges. The active members also honored the new pledges and dates with an outing on Nov. 17 at Forest Hill community center. Two of the pledges, Mickey Hudson and Joan Brunson entertained with a comedy song and dance number. During the Christmas holidays the pledges honored the mem- bers with an informal dance at the Peabody. Preceding initiation on Jan. 19, Friendship week was observed by Gamma Eta chapter. During this time big and little sister gifts were ex- changed. Also Pat Campbell was announced as best pledge and Julia Goode as best scholastic pledge. Friendship week was concluded with the formal initiation in the Tower Suite of the Peabody. The biggest social event of the year was the wonderful Cen- tennial Ball Feb. 21 in the Continental Ball room. Members wore all white formals with blue carnation at their throat and carried hand bouquets of blue carnations tied with blue ribbon. Proceeding through the garden trellis covered with blue carnations, members and dates formed a huge diamond in the center of the ball room. New officers were announced and the new president, Jerry Grutsch was presented with a bouquet of red roses by the retiring president, Shirley Middleton. Our 1st Grand vice-president, Mrs. T. Smith McCorkle, installed the new Centennial Officers. In the beauty review, we were proud to claim four of the nine finalists. Barbara Bracewell and Pat Campbell won 1st and 2nd alternates respectively. Martha Newman was selected Dream Girl of PiKA and Pat Campbell Queen of the Golden Heart for SPE. Nancy Tycer and Pat Campbell won more honors for the chapter when they received 1st and 2nd alter- nates for Freshman Queen. Pat also won 2nd alternate in the Miss City Beautiful contest. Shirley Middleton and Lee Rogers Friar were elected to Who ' s Who. Jerry Grutsch received most valuable member award.

WALTER COBB i Falling leaves and an awakened campus wel- coming eds and coeds back to college heralded a big year for Alpha Gams, who were already planning another trip to Pickwick, filled with boating, swimming, and sunning. These thoughts, however, were soon swirled away in big rush season plans which resulted in the traditional Esquire Party, the Circus Party, and the Creole Coffee. Elections of class and club officers followed on the heels of rush with lunie being elected presi- dent of Arabesque, Virginia elected president of A.C.E., Gladys and Dot elected president and vice-president respectively of Tassel, B. G. elected secretary of lunior class, and Nancy secretary of the Sophomore class. Along with these honors came the election of Betty as Miss Memphis State, lunie chosen as the 1951 Beauty Queen, Bunny being chosen to the college board of Mademoiselle, Betty, Chlo, Gladys, and Viriginia elected to Who ' s Who, Deanie and Nancy chosen as football sponsors, Chlo taking the lead m Hedda Gabler, Betty singing the title role in Carmen, Mary Katherine winning m originial oratory at Columbus, Betty, Chlo, Gladys elected to the Hall of Fame, win- ning first place in the Panhellenic All-Sing for the second consecutive year and winning first for sororities and second on campus for the Home- coming display. Highlighting sorority activities for the year were the All-Greek party given by AGD after the Vandy game, the wondrous Snow-Ball honor- ing the pledges, altruistic work each week at the Crippled Childrens ' Hospital, and Initiation with the long awaited Feast of Roses, and the award- ing of the diamond to best pledge Mary Katherine and the scholarship plaque to Mary Ann.

One of the most outstanding events for us was the DZ Follies. Our sincere thanks to all the organizations who participated. It was lots of work but lots of fun. And then of course, the parties — our colorful Armistice Day outing with loads of red, white and blue. The slumber party at Lynn Johnson ' s with no sleep. The two wonderful informal parties at Rosanna Robilio ' s lodge. The get-together at Martha ' s after Christmas caroling for the King ' s Daughters, parties at the Veterans ' Hospital for tubercular patients. And then, a night we will always remember — the traditional Rose Petal Ball. The Country Club was transformed into a moonlit garden with a huge silver moon, thousands of pink roses and greenery.

Enrollment has not increased tremendously, partially because there is a greater emphasis upon the serious student rather than the curiosity seeker, but it is still one oi the largest organizations on the campus. Several outstanding psychologists from Memphis and surrounding territory have attended our meetings, and have fostered many worthwhile and informative discussions.

LATIMER Treasurer JO ANN SMITH Director of Religious Education This year marks the end of the Wesley Foundation ' s 4th year at Memphis State. This organization is a program of the Methodist Student Movement of the Methodist Church, and it welcomes all college students who may wish to fellowship with this group. Among the highlights of the year was a refreshment booth set up for freshman registration at the beginning of the year; a barn party at Oak Park Lodge; a spring retreat at Shelby Forest a snow party during the unexpected icy holidays; Lenten luncheon at St. Lukes; Wednesday afternoon Fellowship Hours ; and bi-monthly dinner meetings. The dinner meetings were held at St. Luke ' s Methodist Church where a good well-rounded program provided two and a half hours of fun, workship, business activities, and a dinner and after-dinner speaker. In addition to these activities, many of our members were able to attend conferences at Scarrett College, Nashville; at Lake lunaluska, N. C, and at McMinnville, Tenn. We also were fortunate m obtaining a new director for the Foundation, Miss Joanne Smith. Miss Smith came to us from the University of Michigan where she served as the Wesley Foundation director there. The Wesley Foundation has endeavored to provide a wholesome Christian environment for the college students, being particularly in- terested, of course, in all Methodist students on the campus.

Although we are not many in number, we are proud of our fellowship and are striving for a closer contact between ourselves and God, The motto of all Westminister Fellowships is The campus today — the world tomorrow — for Christ, We have two meetings each month, one is a religious program at school and the other is a dinner meeting at Buntyn Presbyterian Church, At the beginning of this school year, Betty Henry McFee led the group in a series of programs on the subject of Christian Dating, Courtship, and Marriage. At Thanksgiving the members brought food articles and filled a basket for a needy family. On De- cember 28 through the 31 a group of five headed by Harold Akers, our president, attended the Presbyterian Youth Convention on World Missions at Auburn, Ala. The convention, held on the beautiful campus of Alabama Polytechnical Institute, will always be an unfor- gettable experience for those lucky five people. During the Freshman Queen Contest, Westminister Fellowship entered Betty Jane Begee Smith as candidate. Guided by Mrs. Charles C. Smith, our adult advisor, we are now planning to attend the conference of all Tennessee Westminister Fellowships at Chickasaw Park m April. Also we are looking forward to our own retreat at Pickwick Dam in May. We invite to our fellowship, not only Presbyterians, but anyone who is interested in student religious activities.

HUMPHREYS Athletic Director There is no doubt in the minds of any of us that Memphis State college is moving up into the ranks of big-time athletics, and the big push behind this move is C. C. Humphreys, whose official positions on the campus are athletic director and chairman of the de- partment of health and physical education. Sonny, as he is known to most of us, is a graduate of the University of Tennessee, where he was an out- standing football player during the years of 1933, ' 34, and ' 35. It can truthfully be said that Coach Humphreys has been greatly responsible for Memphis State ' s rise in the athletic world. Pa e One Hundred Eighteen OUR GRIDIRON MENTORS Under the leadership of Head Coach Ralph Hatley, this group of coaches tutored the ' 50 Tiger gridsters to one of their best seasons in history. Coach Hatley, whose Bengal teams have won 30 of 40 games during his four-year stay at MSC, was expertly aided this season by Billy Spook Murphy, Larry Smith, and Leo Davis, assistant coaches. As per usual, the colorful Zach Curlin had charge of the boys ' intramural program. ■ A RALPH HATLEY, Head Coach BILLY MURPHY Assistant LEON DAVIS Assistant LARRY SMITH Assistant ZACH CURLIN Intramurals Page One Hundred Nineteen Chick King (47) with the blocking of Jimmie Spitch- ley (77), Alex Moore (86), and Sonny Rodgers (96), steps off 20 yards through Union ' s line.

Resume of Great 1950 Grid Season lOHN COBB GENE MEADOWS GENE COBB The 1950 season saw the Memphis State football Tigers continue their steady rise to national prominence. Head Coach Ralph Hatley ' s gridsters turned in the impressive rec- ord of nine victories in 11 starts and scored a total of 374 points to opponents ' 108. This seasonal count of 9-2 fails miserably to indicate the great performance of the Bengals, since one of the setbacks was a 29-13 loss to Vanderbilt, perennial Southeastern con- ference power. The Hat ' .eymen dropped this Commodore fracas after holding the highly-rated Vandy eleven scoreless for the first three quarters. The other 1950 loss was a 39-7 drubbing administered by the powerful Ole Miss Rebels in the second tilt of the season in Crump stadium before the largest crowd (more than 21,000) ever to see an MSC athletic contest. The Bengals opened the season on the Crump greensward by smashing hapless Union university of Jackson, Tenn., by a 64-0 count. It was only a scrimmage for the potent MSC ' ers who were preppmg for the all-important Ole Miss conflict the following week. Then came the Ole Miss debacle, with the locals dis- appointing a huge Tiger following by taking another terrific licking from the Mississippians. Coach Johnny Vaughfs heavier Rebels amassed 23 first downs, led by All-Southern fullback John Dottley, who alone accounted for 140 yards from scrimmage. The only Tiger score came when Frank Berry, fleet half- back, took a kickoff on his one-yard line and raced to the Ole Miss 11. Capt. Alex Williams finally carried the oval over, Page One Hundred Twenty-one Union back is smeared for no gam. It ' s a tough life! BILL ROBERTSON BILL RIGGINS Jere Clamp (32), Washington University right half- back stopped for no gain on right tackle slash. CHARLES BREWER and John Cobb converted. However, that completed the MSC scoring for the chilly evening. The third tilt was another MSC slaughter, with the Memphis Navy team taking a 76-7 trouncing at Crump Stadium. The Blue and Grey boys took a 22-0 lead in the initial quarter and were never headed. On the flying heels of the willowy Frank Dopey Mawyer, who scored twice on kick returns of 86 and 96 yards in the first half and the powerful defensive play of the Tiger line, the MSC ' ers racked up their third win of the season over a fine University of Chattanooga team by a 26-8 count on the Moccasin field. The Memphians took a 26-0 lead to the dress- ing room with them in the first half and were never overtaken. Next victim on the list was impotent Washington univer- sity of St. Louis who fell to the Hatleymen by a 54-0. It was a colorful affair, with the 3,553 fans at Crump stadium witnessing some spectacular broken field running on the part of the sensational freshman flash, Chick King, and Page One Hundred Twenty-two Memphis State tacklers are Grover Lipe (71), guard, Bill Cooke (68), end, and Alex Moore (81), guard. Frank Berry, some pile driving by Charlie King, Alex Wil- liams, Sonny Rodgers, and Roland Eveland, and some great pass-snagging by Bill Robertson. The Homecoming victim for the rampaging Tigers on Oc- tober 21 was strong Southwestern Louisiana Institute who took a 20-0 beating on rain-soaked Crump stadium. A 33- yard run by John Cobb, a blocked kick and recovery by End Lou McLelland, and a 27-yard slosh by Keith White account- ed for the MSC scoring. The MSC-Murray State grudge battle again ended disas- trously for the Kentuckians as the Memphians thrilled a crowd of 6,500 at Paris, Tenn., by scoring on the first play of the tilt and ringing up a 23-6 triumph. The high-scoring Billy Robertson completely fooled the Thorobred defense on the initial scrimmage play. The shifty end found himself in the clear on the Murray 40-yard marker and took a heave from John Cobb for an easy touchdown.

Robertson also caught another touchdown pass later in the tilt. The Bengals piled up a 23-0 lead at the half and again failed to tally following the intermission. However, Murray was able to garner only one six-pointer, and the Kentucky boys were again bitterly disappointed. MSC ' s seventh win of the season came on November 4 at Pineville, La., when a strong Louisiana college eleven fell by a 25-12 margin. All four local touchdowns were accounted for by passes. Robertson again caught two of these six-point heaves. Arkansas State ' s Indians were the eighth victims of the high-scoring Tigers at Crump stadium, Nov. 11. Traveling a total of 536 yards from scrimmage, the Tigers swamped the visitors by 60-7. Billy Robertson again was the shining light, catching three touchdown passes to run his total to 11 for the season at that point. Other counters were register- ed by Keith White (2), Capt. Williams (2), Chick King, and Johnny Cobb. Next came the tilt that literally broke the hearts of Tiger fandom. Vanderbilt ' s cocky Commodores invaded Crump stadium all set for a warm-up tilt. However, the tune was changed soon after the opening kickoff when beautiful pass- ing by Cobb plus some terrific line bucking by Williams accounted for the first Tiger touchdown in the initial quarter. Coach Hatley ' s boys increased this lead to 13-0 early in the second period, much to the amazement of both the dazed Kelly (36) and Paulat (59) watch as a Navy man goes for a short gain around right end Chick King (47) races around left end for a long gam against Washington University Page One Hundred Twenty-five A long pass to Lou McLelland CHICK KING HAROLD RAINWATER FRANK BERRY CLARENCE GROSSER GEORGE SHAAD BILL NICHOLS Kiiuiej ei (65) taking another kickoff in Ole Miss game Vage One Hundred Twenty-six I -; ' , . f I ■JP ' - c ► ,-s Sonny Rodgers (96) goes after a Washington University fumble Commodores and most oi the more than 9,500 fans in the stands, on a beautiful pass from the same Mr. Cobb to the elusive Frank Berry. The Bengal Tigers maintained that lead until the opening moments of the final stanza. Then the dam broke and it was all Vanderbilt the rest of the way. It was noteworthy that Vandy ' s highly-publicized end, Bucky Curtis, failed to catch a pass all day. The final setto of the season v as an anti-clima :. A crip- pled Tiger eleven barely nosed out a battling Louisiana Tech outfit by 6-0 on the latter ' s field. Calvin Allen, senior guard stalwart, was named the most valuable player of the season. He was also picked on the Williamson Middle Ail-American team. Alex Williams was given honorable mention on this coveted squad. Others honored for their 1950 play were Charlie Wing, best blocker; Ralph Messer, best tackier; and Horace McCool, best attitude. Others performing well during the season included Elmer Ray, Jimmy Cole, Roland Eveland, Red Brewer, Murray Outlaw, Dick Kirmeyer, John Stanek, Ferris Wing, Glenn Crain, backs; and Claude Smithmier, Grover Lipe, Earl Baker, Bill Burkett, Gene Meadows, Gene Cobb, George Schaad, Bill Cooke, Tom Nix, Bill Riggins, Clarence Grosser, Wayne Wood, Harold Rainwater, George Stone, Jim Spitchley, Alex Moore, Jim Paulat, Raymond Kelly, and Bill Nichols, linemen.

TOURNEY AT KANSAS CITY McCOY TARRY, Basketball Coach Memphis State 76 Portland 74 Memphis State 81 Hastings 79 Memphis State 67 Baldwin-Wallace 90 SaAketball The Tiger cagesters, under the tutorship of Coach Mc- Coy Tarry, who is affectionately known as Mac by students and faculty alike, came through in fine fashion after a mid-season misunderstanding almost spelled doom to Memphis State basketball hopes. To say that the men of Tarry came through in fine fashion is putting it mildly. For the middle of the cam- paign the MSC record stood at an only mediocre 6-6, and the situation gave no one reason to be optimistic .... certainly not to the extent of an NAIB invitation. It was about this time the Tigers pulled a David opera- tion on an unsuspecting Goliath, who happened to be highly touted Loyola, and thrashed them as soundly as the Biblical David squelched the giant, 87-63. This seemed to be the spark the Staters needed. They won 12 out of the next 15 including the NAIB tourney games. The NAIB invitation was the first ever tendered a Memphis team and the boys from the Bluff city did not let us down, but reached the quarter-finals only to lose to a strong Baldwin-Wallace team, 90-67. In the first two rounds of the tourney, Memphis State downed the University of Portland, 76-74, and Hastings College 81 to 79. In the sectional play-offs held on the campus. State swept past Miss. Southern and Tennessee Tech. Diminutive Phil Hodson led the pack for scoring honors this season with Coy Creason following closely. Hodson tallied 288 markers and Creason, 221. In annihilating the boys in the bell-bottom pants from the Millington Navy base, the Staters established a new scoring record by running up the amazing total of 103 points. The Bluejackets could counter with only 54. The season total of 1695 points sets a Tiger record as far as officials in the athletic department know. The opposition ' s total of 1,440 sets a new high.

Coach LEO DAVIS Coach Leo Davis and his baseballing Tigers had compiled a six-won-four-lost record when the 1951 De- Soto went to the printer. This included games through May 3. Triumphs had been registered over Southwestern, Delta State (twice), Millington Navy, University of Chi- cago, and Arkansas State. A potent University of Wis- consin nine licked the Bengals twice by 18-11 and 10-1 scores. The other two losses had come at the hands of Union and Millington Navy. Billy Joe Emmons, freshman pitching sensation and former South Side High school star, had won four games without defeat. This included a 29-0 shutout over Southwestern ' s Lynx. Milton Hamilton, the highly-heralded Union City, Tenn., freshman, had only two wins to his credit at presstime. The Tiger infield was being manned by only one veteran from last year, Charlie Red Brewer, who was shifted from short stop to third base. The other three positions were being handled capably by Ernest Ney- man, third base; Herbie Pope, second base; and John Wallisa, first base. Tip Canady, the junior college ad- dition, had been serving as an all-round handyman. He played several tilts at third base, did some catching, and had even handled some hurling duties. Outfielders included Roland Eveland, Cliff Mason, Kermit Mitchell, Charles Millard, with Pitcher Emmons filling in on occasions. Most of the catching was being done expertly by Jim Millican, who served as a reserve receiver in 1950. The loss of the spectacular Chick King early in the season was keenly felt by the Tigers. He was signed by the Detroit Tigers. Three games remained on the 1951 slate at presstime. These included tilts with Southwestern, Union, and Ar- kansas State, all carded for the MSC diamond. fage One Hundred Thirty-four INFIELD Left to right — John Wallisa, Herbie Pope, Red Brewer, Earnie Neyman, and Tip Canady PITCHERS and CATCHERS ' 4 9 STATE STATE STATE Left to right — Jim Davis, Billy Joe Emmons, Jim Millican, Milton Hamilton, and Tommy Skinner OUTFIELD Left to right — Kirmet Mitchell, Roland Eveland, Chris, Millard, and Clifford Mason Page One Hundred Thirty-five DALE PALMER Drum Major Cclle e Sand During the past year Eugene Bollinger was president of the band and Dale Palmer was drum major.

SMITH, President First in the hearts of Memphis State students is Mr. J. M. Jack Smith, Presi- dent of Memphis State College. An educator since he was nineteen, Mr. Smith taught in Tennessee and Kentucky until he arrived at Memphis State in 1930 as principal of the Training School; later he was appointed Dean of the College. He then became Commissioner of Education, President of Tennessee Poly- technic Institute, and Director of Instruction for the Memphis City Schools. In 1946 he became President of Memphis State. Beginning in January 1949, Mr. Smith served as Commissioner of Education almost two years on a leave of absence from his duties as President of the College. As Commissioner he did much to improve the educational standards of Tennessee and Memphis State; in 1950 he viewed the educational systems of Europe first-hand. This year Mr. Smith campaigned fervently to make Mem- phis State a University, and under his guidance, three additions to the physical plant have been made. He has merited the respect of the student body. He has our confidence and best wishes for a still more successful future. Page One Hundred Ninety-three nw] R. M.
