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. Page Twenty-eight
