Tim just walked into the DeSoto office one day and said, Look, I ' ve been around here for quite a while now and I think it ' s time I got a little recognition. When he told us his story we decided he was right and now we ' d like to relate it to you. Timmy told us one day he was aimlessly strolling through the campus, coming from nowhere and going nowhere. His attention was attracted by a long line of people, and being a firm believer a line always leads to something ultimately desir- able, he joined that line. This line led to another, and he found himself proceeding through a series of lines. And the first thing he knew a big fellow with a M on his sweater clapped a little blue cap on Tim ' s head and tugged a dollar from his reluctant hands. It was then Tim realized he had just enrolled in college. From that first day life has been a series of hardships for our unfortunate feline. For instance, Timothy often finds himself frustrated by the unavoidable situation of having so many extra-curricular activities that his school work is a constant inter- ference. His math teacher has had to caution him more than once about concen- trating on the wrong figures. And his course load is so heavy that often he finds it difficult to spend more than four hours a day in the Den. But no matter how busy he is, our betailed pal always finds an opportunity to stroll over and relax with his friends. In fact, he often gets so relaxed he completely forgets to go to classes. Tim finds most of his classes fairly tolerable except for physical education. This is extremely distasteful to him because it ' s run by a coach with a complete inability to stop counting while the class is doing an exercise. But despite all the hardships Timothy has endured since his entrance here, there has been much joy. Tim likes it here and he wants to remain always. And somehow, we of the DeSoto staff believe that as long as Memphis State exists, Tim will be here. For Tim is more than the meek, confused little Tiger that appears on the pages of this book. These are merely sketches, caricatures of the real Timothy. There is actually a student here who is the embodiment of all the characteristics portrayed in the figure of the little tiger. You say this character doesn ' t exist? Well, you ' re wrong. He does exist. He ' s on every page of this book. He ' s in the jubilation that follows a victorious football or basketball game. He ' s in the silence that follows defeat. He loafs in the Den; he studies in the library. In fact, he ' s an active participant in every event here. Who is he? Why the answer is obvious. He ' s you, and you, and you. He ' s every student who has ever attended Memphis State since its beginning. He ' s the living, breathing spirit that has made State the fine, progressive college it is and will con- tinue to be. Timothy Tiger is the personification of every student who has ever made these halls resound with his footsteps. amovis student cJLlre Art Classes h ate nctuides Fellowship a - _T Governor Browning Dedicates Memorial Gymnasium 1951 Graduates First To Use Memorial Gymnasium I ADMINISTRATION Page Eleven LJur l redident and _A j sr ' irst oLadi President J.

The Student Government Association which is the link between the students and the faculty has had its fourth and most successful year. One of the first ac- tivities sponsored by this organization was the dance- given in the Student Center to welcome freshmen. The Frosh rules and regulations were enforced through the organization of the Freshman Court. The Student Government Association directed elec- tions for such honors as Homecoming Queen, Mr. and Miss Memphis State, Typical Ed and Co-Ed and May Queen, and the college entry in the Maid of Cotton contest. The group also sponsored the campaign for blood donations, which resulted in 210 students con- tributing blood. An election commission, composed of 15 elected representatives, was established to direct such work. The Student Government Association joined in sup- porting Greater Memphis State program and brought many new members to its ranks. Every student on the campus has had the oppor- tunity to express his opinion through the Student Gov- ernment Association on topics of major importance to each student — the honor system, the five-day week plan, the registration system and the two-party system. The group is grateful to its faculty advisers who have offered many suggestions which have helped to make the Student Government Association the demo- cratic and efficient organization it is. Bill Chumney President Ed Bousson Vice-President Mary Prances Hare Secretary Committees are necessary for any proper function of an or- ganization. Leaders for this year included these pictures here.

Page Twenty CLASSES Page Twenty-One mate L cnoo Dr. Robert Anderson, director of the Graduate School, confers with his secretary, Mrs. Hallie Box. The Graduate School began its second year in June, 1951, with over 260 students enrolled for the Summer Quarter. During these two years over 600 different grad- uate students have registered in The Graduate School. The program of the school is primarily designed for teachers and school administrators. A major in Educa- tion is offered, with minors in the humanities, the sci- ences, the social sciences, history, English, geography, biol- ogy, chemistry, physical education, and business education. Three separate schedules of courses are offered in The Graduate School. One is designed to meet the needs of full-time graduate students; another for those professional people who can at- tend classes only in the evenings, and a third for those who can be on the campus on Saturday only. A limited number of graduate courses are offered by extension in other cities in West Ten- nessee. Policies of The Graduate School are determined by the graduate faculty. A Graduate Council acts as a screening committee for these policies prior to their submission for faculty approval. The Graduate Council includes the following: Holger W. Anderson, Robert C. Anderson, Aaron M. Boom, W. P. Carson, E. I. Crawford, H. B. Evans, Elton Fisher, G. H. Hayden, R. W. John- son, H. E. Rumble, Bascom H. Story. Ex-officio members include E. L. Brown, R. P. Clark, R. M. Robison and President Smith. Left to right: Paul Buchanan, Member of Board of Directors; Joy Barbour, secretary; J. Winfield Quails, vice-presi- dent; Hallie H.

Anderson, addresses members of the 1952 graduating school as they gather for an informal session in the College Auditorium. This will be the second graduating class from the Memphis State College Graduate School. Left: Members of the Department of Education are seated to assist students during registration period, e Right: The new cafeterian proved most helpful in the regulation program during the year, enabling all teachers to be in one place, saving students thousands of extra steps. Here we see several members of the Graduate staff, assisting students, while others wait for advice. SATURDAY IS GRAD DAY . . . At least it appears that way to the regular students. For Saturday the Graduate School goes into full-scale operations and students roam the halls. Here we see a group before the Center —the office of Dr. Robert C. Anderson, Di- rector. And from all appearance, it doesn ' t seem that the students find the program too difficult, judging from the smiles on their faces. The Graduate School program continues to grow with each new session.

Left to right: Nully Jackson, John E. Herron and Quinton Cooper. Leon G. Hardison assumed the duties of editor of The Tiger Rag, MSC ' s weekly newspaper, at the be- ginning of the Fall Term. Under his leadership, the paper made many forward strides. Griffin Shoffner, erstwhile head copyreader, took over as managing editor and served through the first two quarters. Georgia Lou Mason was promoted from soeiety editor to assoeiate editor. Barbara Hamner, for- mer feature editor, succeeded her as society editor. Jimmy Moore replaced Barbara as feature editor and held forth until his graduation at the end of the Fall quarter. John Parker, who had been sports editor for a year, took Jimmy ' s place during the Winter quar- ter. John, in turn, was succeeded by Charles Wilshire as feature editor. Freshman Quentin Cooper became the new sports editor following Parker. Head copyreader ' s duties were assumed by James E. Killman. The establishment of an ROTC unit on the campus necessitated a new staff position, filled by Donald Todd as ROTC editor. As for the business department, Oscar Ed Reece, who had acted in the capacity of business manager for two years, was replaced at the end of the Fall quarter by Claude E. Pat McCollum. Reece gradu- ated at that time. Jimmy Keefe was added to the business staff as cir- culation manager during the Fall when Bernard Hill resigned. Assisting Business Manager McCollum throughout the year was Pat Nolan. She was elevated to advertising manager at the start of the Spring session. The paper was fortunate in having an outstanding art editor in Charles W. Mueller, who took over after Fulton Klinke left school at the end of 1950-51. Charles also held an important place on the copy desk. Photography was well taken care of by Bruce Grove. He served as chief photographer throughout the year. He was aided by Milton Manis and James E. Killman. Others include Joe Taylor and Ronald Terry, edi- torial assistants; Jack Combes and Betty Pouncey, news editors; Warren Wilder, Thomas Mclntire, Re- becca Gilkcy, Charles Armstrong, Faye Paller, Shirley Farmer, Jimmy Hurt, Robert Alford, Don Brown, Dan Forrester, Dorothy Hall, Roselynn Bigbee, Wayne Adams, Thurman Kitchens, reporters; Jane Oakes, Helen Shearon, Tommy Rush, Tommy Morgan, Charles Stainback, Jimmy Cason, copyreaders: Leon- ard Jackson, Margaret Harrison.

Mctl lulties Activities at Memphis State College vary from the humorous to the most serious. Students approach the objectives of an education in a serious vein when they attend classes and prepare their studies. But all college work is not study. Some is play — such as Stunt Night. Some is social — the dances and parties that highlight the year for every sorority and fraternity. Some is re- ligious — the annual Religious Emphasis Week which continues to grow in campus importance each year. And there are many other campus events that will long be remembered by students in years to come.

To start the year off with a bang, members distributed the new decals which were secured through a contest during the Spring Quarter last year. Each student was given one decal when he matriculated. The club hopes by putting these decals on cars of the students that the school would be widely publicized.

Also, the Cub Club put on a big pep rally and bonfire the night before the game. During football season the Cub Club decorated the stadium and held pep rallies before every ball game in cooperation with the cheer leaders. During basketball season, the Cub Club promoted good attendance for the games as well as decorating the new gym for each contest. During the Spring quarter the Club secured a score- board for the baseball diamond.

Campus thcspians kept the college stage busy dur- ing 1951-52, with one of the most entertainment- packed schedules of recent years. Enthusiastic audi- ences applauded a modern comedy, an operatic variety- show, a Shakespearean Comedy, a tragic opera, and a serious contemporary drama. Eugene Bence chose for the season ' s curtain raiser a playful satire on life in a high-class insane asylum- John Patrick ' s delightful The Curious Savage. Rita Pierce portrayed the wealthy but somewhat erratic stepmother of the conniving, curious Savage family. Lily Belle, her much married, sophisticated daughter, was given a real Tallulah Bankhead treatment by Peggy Claypool, while Toby Sides and Carlton Mac- Farland held down the roles of Titus and Samuel, a cigar-smoking senator and a third-rate judge. Joe Peeples was the managing psychologist of ' The Clois- ters, and a variety of neurotic inmates included Mary K. Baxter, Bill Gilliand, John Riles, and Phillis Stim- bert. Lily Belle, Titus, and Samuel trying to wrest the family fortune from their teddy-bear loving mother were led a merry chase by the menagerie of psychos to the delight of the large audience. The play ran three nights, beginning October 31. Bradford White was technical director. The Concert in Costume, presented January 22. was the result of weeks of planning and rehearsing by members of the Arabesque Club.

' The costumes, publicized the production, staged and sang the program of well-known opera sequences in their original languages. Attended by some seven hundred pleased long-hairs, this ambitious undertaking was as much a financial success as it was an artistic accom- plishment, providing ample funds for the music scholar- ship offered annually by the energetic music club. The original idea was the brainstorm of Robert Kirkham who organized the program, sang the lead in the Don Giovanni scenes, and supervised the construc- tion of costumes. Joe Peeples narrated the program. Toby Sides wrote the continuity and directed the pro- duction. The extensive publicity was handled by Doro- thy Link and Joe Peeples. The highlight of the college theatrical season was the First Annual Memphis Shakespearean Festival pre- sented during the week of February 4-9. The three productions of Twelfth Night brought the bard ' s resounding poetry and broad comedy before the largest audiences ever to attend a Memphis State drama. With the full cooperation of The Commercial Appeal and Press-Scimitar, the Festival received the amount and kind of publicity which the college ' s dramatic efforts have deserved for some time. On Monday night, Feb- ruary 4, Marion Keighley Snowden, popular authority on Shakespearean music and dance, gave a musical lecture in the auditorium to set the mood for the ensuing week of cultural activity. Tuesday night Hud- son Strode of the University of Alabama, noted Shake- spearean public reader, presented for some eight hun- dred rapt enthusiasts a solo reading of Macbeth. These events, together with numerous high-school as- sembly programs presented by M.S.C. drama students during the preceding weeks, had the community worked up into a cultural dither that brought twenty- three hundred people to sec the performance of Left: Three join in a drinking scene from Twelfth Night, Macon McCalman, Wally Miller and John Riles. • Cen- ter: Joe Peeples takes role of Malvolio. • Right: Chlorita Gaines as Viola and Gordon Lawhead as the Duke dis- cuss plans in the Duke ' s court as Jack Peterson stares into space.

Leading roles in the comedy were taken by Joe Peeples (Malvolio) , John Riles (Sir Toby Belch), Macon McCalman (Sir Andrew), Peggy Claypool (Olivia), Chlorita Gaines (Viola), and Bill Warnock (Sebastian). One of the most striking features of the Festival was the interesting set, an authentic representation of a Shakespearean theater, designed by director Bradford White, and con- structed under the supervision of Eugene Bence, tech- nical director. Dr. Don C. Streeter, head of the Speech and Drama Department, was the production co-ordi- nator for the entire Festival. On April 24, 25, and 26, the Drama Department produced the gripping Lillian Hellman drama of a deceitful and mercenary leading family of a small town of the post-Civil War South, The Little Foxes. Peggy Claypool, playing the role Bette Davis made famous in the movie, turned in a sterling performance as the cold, domineering Regina who in the course of the play wrests control of the conniving Hubbard family from her shrewd and equally crooked brother Benjamin (played by Toby Sides) . The only breath of life in this poignant character study was Regina ' s charming daughter Zan, portrayed with effervescent sincerity by Nancy Rcdfearn. Bill Warnock and Jack Peterson were effective in the taxing roles of Horace, Regina ' s in- valid husband, and Oscar, the brow-beaten sidekick of his ruthless brother Ben. The extremely challenging role of Birdie, the frustrated Southern belle whose emo- tional growth had stopped when the Hubbard foxes had taken over her father ' s plantation, cotton, and daughter some twenty years before, was capably han- dled by Phyllis Stimbert. Eugene Bence directed the powerful drama and Bradford White was technical director. On May 21, 22, 23, the Music and Drama Depart- ments presented their annual cooperative opera pro- duction, Leoncavallo ' s tragic opera I Pagliacci. Singing the role that Caruso immortalized, Ed Bousson will be remembered for his dramatic rendition of Vesti la Giubba, Nancy Coltharp sang the soprano lead Nedda, and Donald Musser as Tonio sang the famous prologue. Others in the cast were Bobby Kirk- ham and Toby Sides. Paul Eaheart conducted the thirty-five piece orchestra and Don Streeter staged the production. Brad White and Eugene Bence constructed the attractive set.

This group includes both alumni and friends of the College who have as their objective the promotion of the academic and the general welfare of the College and to call to the attention of Memphis and West Tennessee the functions and services offered by the College. The group is closely related with the Alumni Association, both having similar aims. The Director of Publicity for Greater Memphis State, Inc. is also the alumni secretary. He is Gene Roper, who returned to his Alma Mater this spring. Friends of the College can contribute $10 or more annually and become a member of Greater Mem- phis State, Inc. Each member receives a certificate. With the organizational duties already under way, the work of this new group and the Alumni will be felt this year by all friends of Memphis State College.

Ward G. Hoffman, Commandant The purpose of the AF ROTC program is to select and train students who possess the character, intelli- gence, desire and sense of duty to become Air Force officers and responsible citizens. The objectives are to attract the highest type of personnel, to develop in all students an understanding of modern warfare and the place and function of air power in the defense of the United States. Cadets at Memphis State are offered training in Administration and Logistics and Flight Operations. The unit here was established in 1951, one of 187 in the nation. It is doubtful whether any other detach- ment across the country started operation in an office designated: DEAN OF WOMEN. During the Sum- mer, while the old cafeteria was being remodeled, the ROTC interviewed prospective cadets in an office be- Memphis State College Air Force Reserve Officers Trainiog Corps longing to Miss Flora Rawls. In September the ROTC became a male organization again when the unit moved into its new offices and classrooms. Cadet enrollment for the Fall quarter was over 500. Through the guidance of the staff and excellent cooperation of the advanced class, the Cadet Corps was formed into a Wing organization composed of two Groups and six Squadrons. The AF ROTC Cadet Corps has not overlooked the importance of military societies. The Arnold Air Society, composed of advanced cadets, has been an active organization. The AAS, assisted by the Cadet Sponsors, was the main spring behind the annual Mili- tary Ball held in April at the Student Center. The Rifle Team was also a hard-working group, giving prospects of a big season next year for the experts. - . .■■ ., ■!, Front Row: Left to right, Capt. William W. Vickery, Flight Operations; Lt.

Co-captains Percy Roberts, long to be remembered by MSC students both on and off the football field, and Gene Meadows were selected to handle the team on the field this season. As in past years, the season opened with a rather disastrous invasion of Crump Stadium by the University of Mississippi. Both MSC and the Rebels were expected to be just average elevens during the season, but both turned out leading elevens as the season progressed. The 32-0 score the visitors rang up was not indicative of the real tussle. The films showed that some four costly misplays led the visitors scoring. The MSC lineup lacked seasoned players, with five freshmen playing in the starting eleven. Ole Miss pushed over 25 points in the first half, but found the home team more stubborn in the second frame, scoring only once while the men of Coach Hatley Co-Captains Percy Roberts, Gene Meadows Football Queen Jerelcnc Cooper Middle All-American Lou McLclland was named to an end position on the 1951 P. B. Williamson Middle All-Ameri- can football squad. A senior, Lou hails from Roanoke, Virginia. In the nation, the MSC eleven ranked No. 62 out of more than 600 teams rated by Williamson. Winning honorable mentions on the William- son poll were back Jimmy Cole and tackle Gene Meadows. Lew McLclland, End threatened on several occasions. This was the third straight year the two teams opened the local ' s season at Memphis. And in each contest the score had remained nearly the same, 40-7 in 1949, 39-7 in 1950 and 32-0 in 1951. The opening defeat served only to inspire the MSC men to move over to the winning side of the ledger in the next four games, with successive wins marked up against Louisiana Tech, Southwest Louisiana Institute, Western Kentucky and East Central Oklahoma. In recording their first local victory at Crump Stadium this season, MSC came to life after spotting Louisiana Tech 14 points and concluded the festivities on the bright side of a 26-14 score. MSC got off to a sluggish start, aided by their own fumbles and penalties. Ralph Messer went over for the initial counter, fol- lowed by Bob Gaston for six more markers. Curtis Brown kicked an extra point to bring the score to 14-13. Suddenly in the final period a series of plays from Bobby Cotham to Jimmy Cole to Gaston pushed over the victory marker. The insurance touchdown came in the closing minutes when Roland Eveland passed to Will Renfro. Brown kicked another point. Final, 26-14, MSC side. This marked the turning point of the season. Fresh- men had now gone through two rough games and the players were working together better. Away from home for the first time, the Tigers came back from Lafayette, Louisiana with a 41-7 prize taken from the Southwest Louisiana Bulldogs. The score does not indicate the quality of the opposition. MSC players regarded the Bulldogs as a good team, and one of the toughest, man-by-man, that the team encountered. Al- though the Tigers scored three times during the first period, racked up 323 yards rushing, 87 passing to a combined 242 for Louisiana, the players knew they had been in a tough tilt. Messer scored first, with other scores coming from Red Hoggatt, Eveland, Renfro. Dick Kirmeyer kicked five straight extra points.

This lead to another score over the visiting Maroons, second in brief time. Percy Roberts, Guard turned out in another rainstorm to watch Homecoming activities. The visiting West Kentucky Hilltoppers co- operated, even if the weather didn ' t, in giving local fans a delightful 38-0 tally. Touchdowns were scored by Messer, Gaston, Bill Nicholas, Lou McClelland, Hog- gatt and Jim Spitchey. Kirmeyer added two extra points. The varsity played little of the game, with the freshmen given the opportunity to gain more experience. The one-sided scoring and the bad weather con- tinued as the Tigers added a 61-0 win over East Central Oklahoma at Crump Stadium. Hoggatt scored during the first 45 seconds of play to give on-lookers an idea of what was in store for the evening. When the smoke had finally cleared, touchdowns had been scored by Nichols, Brewer, Brown, Hoggatt and Cothan. Kirmeyer added five extra points, Jeu and Graves one each. The freshmen received a good work-out, after the score stood at 48-0 at half-time. The youngsters continued to grind out the scoring and bottled up the visitors to maintain the whitewash. The season ' s most exciting tilt was the long-debated MSC-Mississippi State encounter, which finally ended (at least on the field) in a 27 to 20 victory for the out-state visitors. The entire game is still being thrashed out with the emphasis on a fourth-quarter pass catch- was it in, or was it outside the line? The Tigers had worked the ball down to the Maroon 17 when Brewer hit Cole with a pass in the end zone and the partisan crowd went wild. However, victory was only to last for a few seconds, as officials brought the ball back to the 17, claiming Cole had stepped out of bounds when he caught the ball. Memphis State Tigers thought otherwise and pictures tended to help the argument along. Alumni returning to the campus for future sporting events will be re- minded of this contest for many years to come. Regardless of the outcome, the Hatleymen made the visiting Southeastern Conference team know there had been a contest, a real contest. All the players came through in grand style for the Tigers, working smoothly Roland Eveland, Back Charles Brewer, Back- Gene Cobb. Tackle Alex Moore, Center v m%% : -: ' «is?Mk ? ? The Southern Louisiana Institute encounter. Kirmeyer carries the ball for another good gain. as a team. Mississippi State took an early 14-0 lead, but soon Cole took Verderber ' s pass on his own 35, raced 65 yards untouched for a score. Kirmeyer booted true, score 14-7 as the half ended. Early in the third period the visitors scored again to up their margin to 21-7. The Tigers ' second counter came from a 35-yard pass, Brewer to Nichols. Early in the final quarter Brewer connected with McLelland in the northeast corner for another touchdown. Kirmeyer added a point, bringing the Tigers within one point of a tie, 21-20. And at this stage, the setting was prepared for the disputed touchdown pass to Cole. After the ball was called back, Kirmeyer vainly attempted a field goal, but the angle was too great. The final touchdown was added by the visitors, but by this time the heart had been eaten out of the Tigers ' spirit. Between this game and the final, with Vanderbilt, the Tigers met Chattanooga. The players were not emo- tionally aroused for the tilt, having the eye cocked Nashville-way. The visiting eleven from the southeast part of the state was rated over the locals, and brought a well-trained team for the contest that was played in one of the coldest nights the true school-minded sports fans ever witnessed in Crump Stadium. But Coach Hat- ley drove his men through their hardest practice in years before this meeting, and the strategy paid off — 13-0 favoring MSC. Only a handful of the faithful stood by for the finish to witness Messer and Eveland scoring touchdowns and Kirmeyer adding the 13th point. Vanderbilt ' s famous passing star, Bill Wade, had planned to rest the following week-end when the Tigers invaded Nashville.

They played according to their capabilities as well as any coach could expect. Their spirit should add much to the competitive tradition of the athletic teams of Memphis State College. 1951 SEASON ' S RESULTS MSC Ole Miss of Mississippi 32 MSC 26 Louisiana Tech 14 MSC 41 Southwest Louisiana 7 MSC 38 Western Kentucky MSC 61 East Central Oklahoma MSC 20 Mississippi State 27 MSC 13 Chattanooga MSC 7 Vanderbilt 13 206 Opponents 93 Jim Spitchley, Back Coleman Lannum, Guard Joe Clayton, End  .: , Tony Taylor, Center Homecoming game — again in the rain.

RESUME OF THE SEASON Coach Eugene Lambert ' s first season directing the Memphis State Tigers will be remembered for many events — the trip to Hawaii, the dedication of the new gymnasium, winning the district tournament and en- tering the NIAB tournament in Kansas City. During the big tour to Hawaii the team won seven and lost five. The first contest was played Dec. 15 at the University of Idaho which played a bad host, defeating the Tigers 51-48.

On Dec. 19 the Tigers met Portland University for the first of two meetings during the season, and lost, 78-49. The same team had been defeated in March, 1951, by the Tigers in the Kansas City tournament. Throughout these losses, scores were kept close by the big scoring of Creason, Hodson and Wallisa, the latter scoring 24 points in Seattle. Luck turned and the Tigers won five in a row. taking Eastern Oregon with Wallisa scoring 27 points: Eastern Washington, with Wallisa contributing 26; Larson Air Base, and two wins over Whitworth College in Spokane.

No doubt memories of this trip will remain with the team for years to come, including meeting Bob Hope and other personalities. Another season ' s highlight was the dedication of the gymnasium, marked by the presence of Governor Gor- don Browning and the visiting University of Mississippi Rebels. The Governor had a better time than the Rebels, who carried home the sad end of a 47-42 score. The Tigers played a complete ball-control game, wav- ing 90 per cent of their free throws to insure in-bound possession of the ball. While fans debated the psy- chology of such a move, they had nothing but good words when the game was over. The Rebels kept a close eye on Wallisa, and held him down to a mere 18 points for the night ' s high. But scoring is not all in a game. One sports writer said Little Leon Kingsolver could account for only one lone field goal, but he played his most effective floor game of the year. He was faking on all sides and was slipping past the Rebs Phil Hodson John Wallisa Jack Graninger Page One Hundred Thirty-six Left: Players line up for the photographer with Creason, Mathis, Griffis, Darnall, Kingsolver and Hodson in that order. • Right: Graininger handles the ball in the Ole Miss tilt, while Creason looks on in the background. with a show of snappy change of pace dribbling. One of the upsets for the locals was the second en- counter with little Austin Peay College. Earlier the Tigers won 75-51 without difficulty, only to visit Clarksville and lose 62-60 in a double overtime tilt. Billy Joe Emmons did his best, taking scoring honors with 18. Billy Bear McClain had a big night against Mid- dle Tennessee State College, scoring 16 points to lead the Tigers to a 61-46 win. Wallisa had another big night with Mississippi Southern College, when he pushed through 36 points for the Tigers ' 79-57 win. Coy Creason paced the Staters over Bethel College. 65-31, by taking scoring honors with 17 points. Southwestern of Memphis proved good juicy, tender meat for the Tigers, offering themselves on the sacrificial altar for 85-39 and 100-39 setbacks.

For the second straight year, the Bengals repre- sented the district in the NAIB tournament in Kansas City, after defeating Middle Tennessee 52-39 and Ten- nessee Tech 45-38. But the Kansas City story was not pleasant. The Tigers went through the first round with ease, de- feating Baltimore 60-39 when Wallisa scored 17 points lor honors. But then Portland University threw its ugly face on the screen and the Tennessee Five bowed out of the tournament on a 73-49 setb ack. Emmons scored 14 points, Hodson 1 2, but all in vain. And so Portland not only evened the score, she went ahead. When the final curtain fell Coach Lambert sadly faced the situation — six seniors had played their last. Coy Creason played superior ball, thrilling fans with fancy dribbling. Phil Hodson made up in speed and aggressiveness for his 5 ' 9 height. Bob Griff is was an experienced rebounder and a good man to have wait- ing under the basket.

Van Mathis played his fourth year too, while Roy Darnell won his second before leaving the scene. Best of luck to you-all. And a run-down on scoring showed Wallisa out in front with 556 points in 34 games, followed by Hodson with 484. Hodson had a picnic on the free-throw line, eyeing 150 good shots from that position. Truly Dr. Eugene Lambert ' s first season at the basketball helm at Memphis State College will be re- membered as one of the best.

It was not long after these girls were initiated that the Cupid ' s Ball was held in the Continental Ball Room at the Hotel Peabody, at which time new officers were presented as they stepped through a huge glittering heart. On the first weekend of the Spring Quarter the girls enjoyed a State Day celebration at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where they met with members of other chapters in Delta Province.

Looking back on 1951-52, we recall many happy memories. The good times we had during Rush Week at our Circus Party in the Peabody Hotel, the Dream Tea at Mrs. Trippeer ' s home in Chickasaw Gardens, and Rose Tea at Mrs. Spencer ' s can not be forgotten. We pledged 21 girls — girls whom since then we have come to love very much. Another happy memory is that of our Wash ' Em Out, Wring ' Em Out, and Hang ' Em on the Line display which won the trophy on Homecoming Day. An additional amount of fun was packed into those last few weeks before Christmas; the party for pledges at the Optimists ' Lodge and the All-Greek Christmas dance we gave in the new Stu- dent Center are, in particular, pleasant memories. After Christmas came that party given by pledges for actives, the All-Sing, and, of course, initiation. April saw not only the celebration of Founders ' Day, but also the celebration of Beta Omega ' s third birthday. Then, of course, came the high-light of our .Spring season — the Quill Ball. There were other things, too, but these occasions will probably stay uppermost in our minds. We feel that AZD has truly had a wonderful year.

Today chapters stretch across the nation and even reach into Canada. Beta Xi chapter was established in Memphis in 1947, becoming the fifty-ninth chapter in order of organization. The national philanthropy consists of help in supporting the Maine Sea Coast Missionary Society. This year the Memphis chap- ter sent its annual Christmas box of toys for underprivileged chil- dren of that area. An additional project is the postwar philanthropy at the Ameri- can Farm School in Greece. Sigma Kappa sends funds to provide scholarships for deserving Greek students, the future leaders of their country.

The chapter is the outgrowth of the Star and Crescent, which was organized on the campus in 1947. Kappa Sigma is proud of honors which have been bestowed on its members this year. Gene Meadows was elected Typical Ed, and he and Percy Roberts were co-captains of the 1951 Tiger football team. Gene, Percy, Dan Forrester and Ronald Terry were members of Delta Kappa. A successful rush season brought 50 pledges under the Kappa Sigma colors, of which better than 50 per cent were initiated after the Fall quarter. Rush activities were conducted out of Memphis for the first time. The Mothers ' Club and the Sigettes have been helpful in decorating the room and planning parties. The alumnus adviser, Mr. Clark McDon- ald; the assistant adviser, Bill Williams; and the faculty adviser, Paul Sisco, have been of great aid. Highlights of the year include the annual out- ing in honor of the football team, the Star and Crescent Ball, the Mothers ' Club Silver Tea, the volleyball championship, and a tie for the basket- ball championship.

This year was begun with an initiation tea at which fifteen new members were initiated. The group has taken an active part in homecoming, intramural forensics and sports, and all other campus activities. In intramural sports they placed second in the volleyball tournament. One of the highlights of the year was the all-student dance given by the Independents during the winter quarter. Another activity of this group is helping Le Bonheur as a service project. Miss Virginia Tefft of the physical education department is faculty sponsor for the Independents.

Winter Retreat Recreation Page Two Hundred Fifteen Lsur Appreciation 7P ' To the Photographers of the Memphis Commer- cial Appeal, the staff of the 1952 DeSoto desires to take this opportunity to express appreciation for the use of many pictures appearing in this hook. The co-operation of such men as these four pho- tographers is of great aid to students producing such a volume. Again, we say Thanks. Dlte St a Above: Rudolph Vctter, chief photographer, and one of his favorite sub- jects. • Right: Robert Williams prepares for a picture of a top wedding in Memphis.

EDITOR ' S NOTE With the appearance of the 1952 DeSoto another successful year in the annals of Memphis State College draws to a close. The school year 1951-52 has been a particularly eventful one, and we of the DeSoto staff sincerely hope that the pages of this book will long serve as a reminder of these memorable days. Into the preparation of the 41st edition of the DeSoto has gone many long months of tedious work. Members of the staff will not soon forget those cold Saturday mornings and afternoons dur- ing the winter quarter when they spent in our spacious workroom where everybody was constantly getting into another ' s way. Nor will they forget those Thursday nights where more conversation was exchanged by far than layouts completed. Nevertheless, we completed our job and that is the important thing. This year more than ever before the annual has been the product of the cooperative efforts of our group working together for some unknown reason. But here, as in all cases, there are several who deserve special words of thanks. These are as follows: Faculty adviser Dr. William H. Taft, whose constant guidance and ability with a typewriter have enabled us to meet our deadlines. Business manager Bob Watkins, who has handled our finances and circulation. Managing editor Bob Starks, whose untiring efforts and originality have helped in all sections of the book. Associate editors Anne Holmes and Barbara Goings, who have been a constant source of ideas and whose handling of the 1952 DeSoto Beauty Revue deserves special acclaim. Staff artist Paul (T. Tiger) Marsh and photographer Henry Wenzler, who have worked long- hours on the art and photos. Class editor Barbara Fox, organizations ' editor Anne Jo James, Greek editors Anne Albright and Bob Templeton, military editor Howard Ez e ll. and senior editor Pappy Latimer, who have all contributed generously of their time. Further, a word of appreciation to all whose names appear on Pages 98 and 99 of this book. It is regrettable that for the lack of space a ll cannot be mentioned by name. The cooperation and willing- ness with which these have worked is a fine example of that spirit which has made Memphis Stated great institution. Finally, we want to express our appreciation to Bob Ledbetter of the Memphis Engraving Com- pany and to Mike Capadalis of Toof ' s for their professional assistance.
