Memphis State s Greatest Decade Ten years ago, in 1946, J. M. Jack Smith became president of Memphis State College, an institution at that time having an enrollment of 1,500. Since then, Memphis State has grown in all directions — buildings have been more than doubled, the faculty has been enlarged to 200 members, the enrollment has passed the 3,500 figure and the institution has gained in prestige throughout the South and the nation. President Smith came to Memphis State well prepared to place the college on the map. He came up through the one-room, one-teacher school in rural Hardin County to head Tennessee Polytechnic Institute, to direct instruction for Memphis City Schools and to serve at one time as Tennessee Commissioner of Education. All of these roles served to prepare Presi dent Smith to take the helm of this institution which had so much to offer and which had so far to go. In the way of buildings during this period we can mention two large additions to the Adminis- tration Building and the addition to Science Hall. A new men ' s dormitory, named in honor of Grover C. Hayden, was completed and an- other is on the drawing boards and will be ready soon. The Student Center and the Cafeteria were completed and the Den, formerly housed in the Administration Building, gave way to new offices and classrooms, The new gymnasium was completed; the Training School enlarged. The Girls ' Dormitory was remodeled and a new addi- tion started. The library took on a new wing, plus air-conditioning. Even the auditorium re- ceived new seats. 18 Additional departments of in- struction have been created, more teachers employed and class offer- ings increased to better serve the students. No one man can receive credit for all these gains, but on the other hand, all who have witnessed the tremendous growth in prestige and influence of Memphis State, recognize the guiding influence of President Smith. We know that students of the future will be forever grateful for the fine example he set. for the achievements he brought about for the college and for the influence he has had on each of us. m President and Mrs. Smith follow all the games and here enjoy a scoring play at Crump Stadium. a  Aft-y He wears his academic position well, too. Here is a typical scene at a commencement program. R. M. ROBISON. Dean MISS FLORA RAWLS, Dean of Women LAMAR NEWPORT, Bursar 20 R. P.

STORY Director, School of Education and Graduate School A Growing College in a Growing Area In comparison with many institutions in the field of educa- tion, Memphis State is comparatively young. On September 15, 1912, the West Tennessee State Normal School opened its doors for the first students in Memphis, with the obligation to train teachers to supply a need that existed even during those days. More specific laws were passed by the State of Tennessee and in the Act of 1925 it was declared that the function of such colleges in the state should be to prepare teachers for public schools. Memphis State, then, has for many years supplied trained elementary and high school teachers, in- structors and supervisors in various subjects and principals and superintendents of county and city schools. As educational needs in the state became ' broader, the name was changed by the State Legislature in 1941 to Memphis State College and the institution began to offer subjects generally included in a liberal arts curriculum as well as many other subjects which are demanded by the state ' s public school system. By 1950 the college, located on 80 acres in the eastern part of Memphis, had grown to such an extent it was felt to be necessary to reorganize the school in order to serve more effectively the students of West Tennessee and the surround- ing areas. So at that time four schools were created: School of Arts and Sciences, School of Business Administration, School of Education and the Graduate School. The major objective of the School of Arts and Sciences is to provide students a well-rounded and liberal education, by introducing them to those major fields of human interest included in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. A professional training unit of the college, The School of Business Administration, was organized to prepare people to make a good living in the world of commerce. The School of Education directs the preparations of future teachers, provides professional service to public schools and carries on a continuing program of educational research. The Graduate School has served to advance the training of graduates of all these schools, as well as graduates of other recognized institutions. 23 Faculty ACCOUNTING Seated, left: Theodore Cawthorn, Frank Bain.

Members gather in one of the music lecture rooms for their DeSoto picture. Sock and Buskin Sock and Buskin is an organization for students interested in drama. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in all dramatic activities of the college, and to develop an appreciation of good theatrical productions on the part of the student body. The club recently organized a new series of programs called Green Room Dramas which are student directed and managed. OFFICERS — Seated: Joan Smith, President. Standing, left to right: Martha Wallace, Treasurer; Allen Hates, Vice President; and Renee Haffner. Secretary. Members of Sock and Buskin use some of the stage settings for comfort as they are photographed. A tense moment sees Allen Bates and Harvey Dice looking on as Blanche Pope fights for life. Professor Eugene Bence ' s production of The Enchant- ed was indeed a fine beginning for the MSC Theatre ' s 1955-56 season. The play, written by Jean Giraudoux, is a comedy of a charming young lady ' s love for a ghost in provincial France — only the ghost turns out not to be a real ghost at all. At the outset of the play, the small French village where the action occurs is all upset because of the actions of the mysterious ghost. The Inspector, skillfully played by Allen Bates, arrives on the scene with all the answers, or so he thinks. Presently, a tender romance comes to the attention of the audience involving Blanche Pope, as Isabel, and The Supervisor, portrayed by Harvey Dice. Madcap leads to merriment with the antics of two Executioners and the curtain is rung down on a note of happiness.

The second production of the Memphis State College Theatre this year is a play described by the critics as . . . one of the greatest English psychological studies of murder ... ever written. Its author is Emlyn Williams. The story, built around the actions of a psychopathic murderer named Dan, played by Harvey Dice, is as stark and suspenseful as the author could make it. The opening scene takes place in the High Court of English Justice as Dan is sentenced to death by the Lord Chief Justice. The rest of the play is in the form of flashbacks to the events leading up to the death sentence. In these flashbacks, we see the murder of Mrs. Bramson, played by Diane Parrish, and the love of Olivia, Joan Helton, both of which tend to only complicate the plight of our murderer. Truly then, this is a brilliant study of a murderers innermost thoughts. Dan is startled as Olivia enters the room after he has murdered Mrs. Bramson. % X % , « .

Somebody said, Let ' s try something new! Well, we did. And that something new was the MSC Children ' s Theatre sponsored jointly by the Speech and Drama department and the Associa- tion of Childhood Education, Memphis State Chapter. The first production was the beloved fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin, directed by Dr. Don C. Streeter, Chairman of MSC ' s Drama Department. Designed for children of the First, Second, and Third grades, the show was just as much fun to produce as it was to watch and was presented on November 4 and twice November 5. The kids liked it so much that another performance was played on Monday, November 7. Wjih additional enter- tainment, the show ran about an hour and was a smashing success. Some of the members of the double cast were: Floyd Herzog, Marvin Smith, Robert Schneller, Perry Wilbur, Gail Howard, Ann Rush Erwin, Beverly Morton, June Carpenterjoe Gruen, Geraldine Dawson, Iris Hopps, Mar- tha Owen, Martha Wallace, Renee Haffner, Betty-Erie Pouncey Rhodes, Jane Melton and Martha Lewis. Brad White and Eugene Bence were technical directors. The Green Room . . . Rumpelstiltskin wasn ' t the only innovation around here. What we call in the Speech and Drama Department our Green Room Dramas moved out of the Green Room and on to our stage in fine fashion. Perhaps we ought to tell you the story from the beginning though. Last year a group of actors decided they ' d have a few short shows on their own hook with their own directors as well as student actors. The idea caught on and flowered into a prosperous enterprise which brought out talent that hadn ' t been discovered before. It was found to be an excellent drama work- shop. When the shows are staged, all the magic of a big production is in the air and the interest of both the audience and the players is as keen as ever. Last year there were eight Green Room Dramas and this year two productions were staged. A touch of Oriental Theatre came to the MSC stage in November as Marvin Smith ' s production of The Toy Heart was featured in the first of this year ' s series. The second show saw Erwin Shaw ' s gripping drama Bury the Dead ... a story of dead men who refused to be buried. Experimental theatre at its best is seen in the Green Room Dramas.

The Memphis Shakespearean Festival brings to Memphis the finest of Shakespeare ' s works. This year ' s program was highlighted by the presenta- tion of Macbeth, under the direction of Eugene Bence with Brad White handling the technical pro- duction. Not confined exclusively to MSC students, this years show featured a TV executive, salesman, and a choir director, only to mention a few of the performers. The Coterie, national women ' s service organiza- tion, again sponsored the ticket sales and capacity crowds were on hand every night. Through Coterie scholarships, many of our young actors are able to attend College. Other Festival activities included Shakespeare in the movies, lectures and in music. The 1956 production . . .

The Forensic Department, made up of 24 Memphis State students and two faculty members, traveled approxi- mately 5,000 miles to attend numerous tournaments dur- ing the school year. In the process, the group won more awards than in any previous year. First trip was to Tuscaloosa, where the students parti- cipated in the Alabama Discussion Tournament to win one superior award. Their second tournament was the Regional Tau Kappa Alpha Tournament at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Here they competed with thir- teen colleges and universities to tie South Carolina for second place in the overall event. Then, after much preparation, they traveled to Ada, Oklahoma, to participate with thirty-three schools in the East Central State College Tournament. Again they won many top honors, including a Sweepstakes Excellent in Junior Women ' s Forensic Activities. Their final trip of the first semester took them to Jack- son, Mississippi, for the Millsaps Tournament, where they entered the quarter finals. During the second semester trips were arranged to the tournament in Cookeville for the Tennessee State compe- tition; the North-South Tournament at Morgantown, West Virginia; the Glendy Burke Tournament at Tulane in New Orleans, and the Southern Speech Association Tour- nament at Mississippi Southern in Hattiesburg. discussing po members, ] are Duane olds, Pat Urew - x H  and Bob HarvTy H ° w,i iand, l T ° right, Virgil Nr ■ Um - Jackf £f es 50 For ' ensics Individual winners of the intramural forensics program are, front row. left to right : Mona Choate.

' Xf- - - Coeds hurry to their dorm where snow, seen through windows, might he more appealing! Trees form a lacy canopy for a deserted bench. Huge snow flakes drifted onto MSC ' s campus in January, providing picture- book scenes like these. The first heavy snow in several years also disrupted winter semester ' s final exams. Although students were off a day, Bill Williamson, Tiger Rag spon- sor, photographed the campus while the snow was fresh. Mr. Williamson, who is from Iowa, thought he would escape snow in the sunny South. They ' re here but will they get there? Speed is dangerous — and not advised in snow and ice. 56 p R F E S S I N A L S 57 Delta Sigma Pi James Bailey Thomas Binford Henry Brim Asa Costlow David Daniel Harry Hodges Loel Holder Billy Hopkins William Key Robert McHenry Rhondal Nunnery Nicholas Parrot Elton Peacock Forrest Priddy George Ragland Harold Scott Jimmy Utley James Vasser „ E HL ««ss Delta Sig DELORES GAY The International Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi was founded at New York Uni- versity.

These students come from many communities in the Mid-South to attend advanced courses. Many are students who completed their work at MSC and desire further study. Many are teachers working at night sessions or on Saturdays to complete their degrees. ROSE I. ALLEN B.S.. Central Mo. Memphis BLANCHE J.

B.M.E., Southeastern La. Memphis JOHN F. WILLIAMS B.S., Bethel Yuma Qi We, the Seniors of 1956, find ourselves facing a challenging future and a changing world. For sixteen years we have studied to prepare ourselves for this moment. We have been taught not only by textbook and manual, but by faith, hope, and love. Our prayer is that we have learned well the lessons taught to us. We leave Memphis State with heads held high — proud of our achievements — and courageous smiles — ready to take our place in the intriguing future before us. We will meet the responsibilities of to- morrow as we did those of yesterday, with an open mind and a firm belief in what we think is right. We know all things are possible if people only believe in and work for them. We cannot know what the future has in store for us, but we will remember always that part of our past centered at Memphis State. The friends, the activities, the classes, the smiles and the tears —all will become cherished memories, never to be forgotten. We have been a part of Memphis State, and Memphis State will always be a part of us. OFFICERS Left to right: Betty Brown, secretary; Harry Easley, president; and Larry Hilbun, vice president.

As a class we are overshadowed by the Seniors, Sophomores, and the Freshmen because we are small and because we are the middle men in college life, both socially and academically. Yet as individuals we rank as high as any Memphis State student, and we are proud that we have had the courage and fortitude to stay in college when many dropped out after a two-year period. We are proud of our individuality and our oneness as a class. We feel that we are achieving much, yet we realize our shortcomings. Upon completing our third year in college, we have set our standards, our ideals, and our goals. We have only to put them to use to benefit ourselves and mankind. We have weathered the storms of three years of college life and now we face the final step, the final year of prparation for our life ' s work. We become Seniors with pride and with the courage to face whatever may present itself to us next year. OFFICERS Back row, left to right: Joe Baker, president; Wink Martindale, vice president.

OR JUST BETWEEN CLASSES 120 We, the Sophomores, Class of 1958, are the largest ever to be enrolled at Memphis State. Our large number represents a cross-section of college life found in every college community. We are an integrated part of Memphis State, but we remain in the background, and will stay there until, as Seniors, we have proven ourselves to be worthy of recognition. As a class we have had our share of happy times during this past year. Our class dance, which was held in the Spring, was topped off by the presentation of Mr. and Miss Fabulous and was a big success. We are now at the halfway mark in our college career. Some of us will leave Memphis State after the completion of two years of collegiate work. Many of us, however, will continue our education, and we look forward to our remaining years at Memphis State.

OF MEMPHIS STATE We, as Freshmen, have completed our first year of college life, our first year at Memphis State, after nine months of days and night crammed with worries and problems, fun and fellowship. We came in September from farms and towns, cities and suburbs, joining together to compose the Class of 1959. We were soon caught in the hustle and bustle of college life. We cheered at pep rallies, studied in the library and listened in reverence to the religious assemblies. We chose our class leaders, elected our queen in November and honored her and her court with a dance during that same month. Suddenly our first year at Memphis State has slipped by and left us not yet realizing that we are Sophomores. We have learned many things, some we ' ll forget, many we ' ll always remember. Through the interest of our instructors and through the encouragement of the Upperclassmen we have experi- enced one of the most profitable years of our life. We look forward to our next three years with hope and expectations, but we shall never forget our Freshman year at Memphis State! rT OFFICERS Left to right: Ronnie Smith, presi- dent; Jackie Edwards, secretary ; Bob Canfield, vice president; and Walter Lane Smith.

It was organized in the spring of 1950 to petition as soon as the proper requirements are met for mem- bership in Mortar Board, national senior women ' s honorary group. At the beginning of each year, Tassel members serve as Counsellors to freshman women students, and on registration day help all freshmen find their desired professor or subject. Tassel also sponsored a women ' s assembly at the beginning of the year. Fostering scholarship and leadership, Tassel sponsors an honorary group for freshman women, Lambda Delta. Membership selection is based on high scholas- tic averages. Among the projects sponsored by Tassel this year was its annual Smarty Party, an evening forum, and distributing calendars to all organizations on the campus. Tassel ' s aim is to encourage college women to be better students and citizens at Memphis State.

Dan Forrester, Jack Loveless, Carrol Nunnally, Percy Roberts, and David Williams. Delta Kappa was established to give recognition to men who, by displaying exemplary qualities of leadership in various fields of student endeavor on the campus, have attained a high standard of efficiency in collegiate activities, and of inspiring others to strive for conspicuous attainment along similar lines. Since 1950, ei«;htv-six men have been inducted ' PAUL WEBB Secretary-Treasurer into the Society, of which ten are currently faculty members and seven are active student members. Membership is limited to one percent of the male enrollment of the school. Only juniors and seniors are eligible, and they must rank scholastically in the upper thirty percent of their respective classes. Selection of new members is also based on exhi- bited qualities of leadership, character, and achievement in the fields of religious, social ac- tivities, journalism, scholarship, and athletics. It is the aim and desire of Delta Kappa to become a circle of the national honorary leadership fra- ternity, Omicron Delta Kappa.

SISCO JACK WILSON Chi Beta Phi is a national honorary scientific fraternity. The object of the fraternity, as a whole, is to promote interest in science. The membership includes regular, honorary, and associate members. For a student to be elected for regular membership, he must have at least 3.0 average, and have passed ten semester hours in one of the four natural science fields and have taken an additional ten semester hours in one of the four natural science fields, not to exceed nine semester hours in any one field. The yearly activities consist of one meeting each month. There is also a banquet each semester when pledges are initiated. To add variety to the regularly set-up year, members occasionally visit some local point of scientific interest. Feeling that Chi Beta Phi also has an obligation of service to the Memphis State science departments, it cooperates in anything the departments stage, such as exhibits, sci- ence fairs, and field trips. 161 Phi Alpha Theta PAUL WEBB President BETTY WALKER Secertary MEDAH S.

Memphis State ' s observance of Religious Empha- sis Week, March 5-8, featured as main speaker, Dr. Bernard Loomer, former dean of the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. In addition, each re- ligious club on campus invited a minister or clergy- man of its respective denomination to participate in the week ' s program. Students and faculty took part in assemblies, semi- nars, noonday devotions, breakfact each morning in MSC ' s cafeteria followed by a meditation, and many other activities. Also, REW guests, sponsors, and committee members closed the observance with an informal buffet supper on Thursday evening, the official closing of REW.

Greater Memphis State Like its fellow supporting organizations, the Tiger Club and the college Alumni Association, Greater Mem- phis State played a prominent role in the public support of Memphis State programs. Greater Memphis State advocates university status for Memphis State College. To that ultimate goal more than 300 members have dedicated their energies and financial support in behalf of the college ' s academic, cultural and athletic programs. The organization, under the leadership of Hal Dan- iel, Jr., gained more new members than in any previous year after the first of its activity. A membership drive was sponsored with a net gain of more than 100 new members. Berl Olswanger, a MSC alumnus, won the group ' s award for procuring the most new members. Greater Memphis State once again was active in its support of the season football ticket sale in conjunc- tion with the Le Bonheur Club and its fine group of workers. The organization also went all-out in support of the annual Shakespeare Festival, a cultural high- light in the city. Serving with Mr. Daniel are Robert Richards, Walter D. Evans and P. K. Seidman, vice presidents; Enoch Mitchell, treasurer; and C. Frank Scott, chaplain. Alumni Association The college alumni association experienced one of its most outstanding years of progress during 1955-56. Under the leadership of State Senator T. Robert Acklen for the second year, the alumni group continued in growth and progress in a re-vitalized movement. For the first time the association sponsored two ma- jor events during the year. The first was homecoming in November. In the spring semester the association held its annual banquet at which Brig. Gen. Herbert L. Grills, MSC ' s top-ranking alumnus in the military serv- ice, returned to address a group in excess of 300. The association once again kept the college ' s widely- scattered alumni informed through periodic issuance of The Columns, the first full-fledged newspaper to be published by the alumni. Membership was at a peak never before realized as the group became active in all phases of supporting the college and its many programs. During Mr. Acklen ' s tenure his co-workers were C. L. McComas, and Ford Haynes, vice presidents; and Bob DeZonia, secretary-treasurer. Officers for the new year are Ed Humphreys, pres- ident; Jerry Burns and Bill Peeples, vice presidents; and Mr. DeZonia, secretary-treasurer. BOB DEZONIA Secretary Greater Memphis State and Alumni Association Mr. DeZonia also serves as director of MSC public relations. The Tiger Club Organized for the major purpose of promoting and supporting a top program of athletics at Memphis State, the Tiger Club achieved notable success during the 1955-56 school year. With a hard core of business and professional men — many not alumni of the college — the Tiger Club listed the following accomplishments: The group established an athletic scholarship fund which enabled the college to increase its number of approved scholarships. Members of the club made nu- merous public appearan ces at clubs, meetings and the like in vocal support of Memphis State ' s athletic pro- gram. The result of such appearances was the gaining of other members. The club also was interested in the maintenance of school spirit and to that end the organization secured the enthusiastic support of Cal Alley, staff cartoonist for The Commercial Appeal, in designing a decal for Tiger Club members and in preparing a school battle flag with a large Tiger emblazoned thereon. The flag accompanied the athletic teams on many of their trips and was waved enthusiastically by students and club members to the betterment of school spirit. The annual Blue-Gray intrasquad football game was sponsored by the club. Aonther move was the awarding of sweaters and numerals to the college ' s unbeaten freshman football team. The club aided in the purchase of smart blue sport jackets for the basketball team to be used as traveling togs. The college ' s name was em- broidered on the left breast pocket, and the dress of the team always drew favorable comment on road trips. An emergency fund from the sale of club decals was established to aid athletes in financial difficulty and several professional men in the club often volunteered their services. The club was outspoken in its support of university status for Memphis State. 175 May Queen PEGGY DUKE 176 Ruund and round the Maypole. A multitude t trophies.

Its main charac- teristic is a check and balance system of government patterned after that of the United States. It consists of three branches. The Spring election of 1955 gave us our officers for the ' 55- ' 56 school year. Jerry Lowrie was elected President; Jere White, Vice President, and Carolyn Dellinger, Secretary. The Judicial branch held an organizational meeting and elected Jimmy Douglas Chief Justice. When school started in September the Student Government introduced legislation regarding the formation of a special committee to work toward the objective of achieving university status for our college. This committee was formed. Legislation was also passed lengthening the time permitted on mid-semester examinations. The Student Government Association handled many of the major events on campus. The election of the Homecoming Queen, judging of Homecoming floats and the Homecoming dance, the Student Popularity elections, the All-Student Dance, the chartering of busses to the Murray basketball game, and the planning of May Day were just a few of the events handled by the SGA.

The women reside in Mynders Hall. This dormitory is being enlarged to care for more students in the fall. Men students reside in Scates Hall and Hayden Hall. Another new dormitory is be- ing built to care for the increased enrollment. Fraternities and sororities each maintain rooms in the Student Center. Over these ac- tivities the Student Center hostess presides. 1 Mrs. Doris Y. Herzog serves as hostess at Scates Hall, main dormitory for men. Hostess at the Student Center and in charge of the fraternity and sorority center is Mrs. Mary Agnes St. John. Mynders Hall hostesses are Mrs. Nell Haynes, left, and Mrs. Frances Duncan. This dormitory houses women students. 1 85 State Board of Education Memphis State, as well as the other state-supported colleges in Tennessee, comes under the direct supervision of the State Board of Education. Once each quarter this group con- venes in Nashville and decides the policies for the various institutions. There are three members from each of the three major divisions in Tennessee. West Tennessee is represented by W. R. Landrum, Ernest C. Ball and James Williams. Governor Frank Clement is an ex-officio member, while Dr. Quill E. Cope, commissioner of educa- tion, is also an exofficio member who serves as chairman. Members are appointed by the governor and serve for six years.

A study of the list of opponents will quickly reveal the reason behind the heavy loss-column. At the basketball games the Memorial Gymnasium was crowded to overflowing for all the ten home contests. And the Tigers under Dr. Gene Lembert drew as well away from Memphis. The ROTC color guard was presented at the start of each home contest to add to the ceremonies.

Back row: Kitty Barner, Johnny Hurd, Alvin Iverson and Ann McGrew. Throughout the football and basketball season the Memphis State cheerleaders did their best to lead the students in yelling for the T igers. And they did a fine job, too. At the final basketball game on the home court President J. M. Smith presented gold megaphones to Bob Trantham and Marty Perry for two years ' work. Letters were won by the above and Barbara Haynes, who served during football season. Thousands joined in cheering at basketball tilts. Action is high at football games. Famed Tiger Club Flag Sports at Memphis State played an important role in the life of each student during the past year. Thousands witnessed the basketball and football games and at each encounter the Tiger Club flag played its role. The photographer snapped the above picture as the Tiger was preparing to take off for more nourishment — A Tiger never outgrows the need of milk, you know. At right Coach Ralph Hatley keeps an alert eye on the boys out on the field — wonder how many miles he walked at Crump Stadium during the home season? Just to prove it isn ' t all glory and kisses from admirers the pictures below are printed — some folks way up in the stands can ' t see all that goes on at the bench. And occasion- ally there are those who must be carried off the field — usually the result of their own fine playing, getting in on each action and playing for all the game, second by second. It ' s Rough It ' s Tough But it ' s All Exciting Hatley On His Feet Again Some need a pause to refresh Others rest on the way out COURAGEOUS TIGERS LOSE Playing in the NCAA basketball tournament for the second straight year the Tigers went down to defeat, 97-81, at the hands of Oklahoma City University in Tour- nament play at Wichita, Kansas. Forced to play without Wilfong, Forest and Orby Ar- nold, Ken Caldwell and Jimmy Hockaday because of NCAA rules on freshmen and four-year men, the Tigers neverthless put on a great show, leading the favored team until the last seven minutes of play. At halftime the Lam- bertmen were ahead, 41-33, and held on until height and full-team strength of the Oklahoma five told on the Tigers. MSC went to the tournament with only eight play- ers, Ballard, Jones, and Doyle joining the team for the tournament. Scott led the MSC scorers with 23 poin ts, scoring five successive field goals during a hot second period before he left the game.

National fame has been brought to Memphis State College in recent years through the successful basketball coaching job performed by Dr. Eugene Lambert — truly a fine gentleman and a master of the game. Dr. ' Gene came to Memphis State for the 1951-52 season and has built his teams up each year. During the current year his team drew capacity-plus crowds, both at home and away. During his first year at MSC. his men won 25 and lost 10. The 1952-53 season was one devoted to building and the 10 victories in 24 contests showed that emphasis was on years ahead. The next year the team won 15. lost 9. and the 1954-55 season brought 17 victories with only 4 setbacks. In the NCAA tournament the team went out 59-55 to Penn State. 1955-56 has been another successful season, with more victories and another chance at the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament. Coach Lambert was assisted by Norman Sloan, who came to the college from Presbyterian College in Clinton. S.C. While a coach there his teams won 70. lost 33. and played in the NAIA eliminations. 192 FOREST ARNOLD forward-center senior HOOVER SCOTT forward junior Century Mark Shattered Three times during the first four games the Tigers passed the century mark and established themselves as the top- scoring team in the nation.

The Tigers went on their first extensive tour of the season in mid-December and came home with ,wins over Hardin-Simmons, Texas Western and Arizona. Victory in Abilene over Hardin-Simmons was sweet, 75-73. but the Tigers ' high-scoring record went by the wayside. MSC trailed until last minute of play, when Wil- fong tied the score and Scott and Fortner made free throws to win. A closer decision came two days later, when the Tigers won 71-70 over Texas Western in El Paso. Four free shots in the last two minutes by Fortner brought home the vic- tory. Another rally was necessary in Tucson as the Tigers came up to a tie with 10 seconds to play, and went ahead to win in overtime, 98-92. Home ground looked good as the Tigers came back to meet Northwestern Louisiana and easily win 112-79 before another capacity crowd. «XJC ' WIN WILFONG forward-guard junior MSC at Hardin-Simmons MSC at Texas Western FG FT TP FG FT TP Scott, f 4 9 17 Scott, f 2 2 6 Wilfong, f 7 2 16 Wilfong, f 7 2 16 Swander, f Swander, f F.

The Tigers, at the time rated 12th in the nation, were a bit sluggish in the contests. Spring Hill trailed 63-48 with seven minutes left, but struck for 21 points while the Tigers scored only one field goal on the way. Western Kentucky dropped in for a contest, and went away on the short end of a 80-64 score after an overflow crowd packed the field house. The Tigers hit the comeback trial in fine fashion, coming from behind to lead 37-34 at the half, and pulled away from the visitors in the last half. A trip to Jonesboro netted a 74-64 win over Arkansas State but the Tiger rooters lost the flag as they were out- numbered by the 4,000 Arkansans present.

Wilfong scored 29 points but the MSC five went down 85-75 before Louisville, 10th ranked team in the nation. Some 5.000 saw the tilt in Louisville. But the Tigers came back in fine fashion to nip Wash- ington University, 73-71, on the second game of the week- end road trip. Forest Arnold hit 22 points while brother Orby dropped in 20 before a large delegation from their home town of Puxico, Mo., who came to St. Louis to see the contest. The basketball team did what the football boys couldn ' t, and came out with a 105-73 victory over visiting Missis- sippi State before an awfully crowded group of rooters. The team averaged 53% on field shots during the night.

Three outstanding college basketball play- ers brought their collegiate careers to a close at Memphis State this spring. Forest Arnold played four fine years for the Tigers, scoring hundreds of points to aid the team in scoring victory after victory. He played both the center and the guard spots. Elmore Fortner, one of the smallest play- ers on the team, was also one of the fastest. He was constantly on the go and seldom did an opposing player outrun him or out- shoot him. He played guard. Ken Caldwell, another guard, was another fine player who really came into his own as the season neared its- end. His ability to hit the long shots caused the opposition much trouble. All three seniors were given a standing ovation in the final home game as nearly 4,000 fans yelled their hearts out to show their appre- ciation for the fine work done. Caldwell went up plenty high to jump over the other team to score. Forest Arnold scored hundreds of points and did a fine job on taking rebounds under the basket. Assistant basketball coach Norman Sloan replaced successful A. L. Allen as track mentor for the 1956 season. Allen resigned his position after last year ' s undefeated cinder season. The coach departed, along with a few seniors on the ' 55 squad, but a strong contingent of lettermen returned to make this year ' s outlook appear promising. Joe Gorham, (leading scorer last year with 143 points), who recorded times of 23.2 in the low hurdles and 14.6 in the high hurdles, leads the returning lettermen, which include Neal Doyle, Don Pemberton, DeWayne Bolton, Dave Griffith, Jim Mathis, James Thomas, and Don McLeod.

ZACK CURLIN Mens Intramural Director Providing a break in routine, intramural athletics at Memphis State strive to teach the average student sportsmanship and clean play, besides giving him an opportunity to reach and retain top physical condition. Intramural athletics at Memphis State for 1955-56 were an enormous success. Leading off the intramural program, Kappa Alpha edged Kappa Sigma for the football title. Both teams were winners of their respective leagues. The Independents spoiled Kappa Alpha ' s chances of winning two titles by repeating as intramural basketball kings. For the first time in school history, Memphis State turned out a boxing team for competition in the Golden Gloves tournaments. Light heavyweight Charles Sorsby and heavyweight Johnny Shepard gave the school its first titles. Johnny Franklin battled his way into the finals before losing. Another inside sport was volleyball. First place went to the Veterans, while Kappa Sigma was runner-up. Most popular sport on the spring sched- ule is softball.

Powder puffs are a thing long since forgotten when Memphis State coeds take part in their di- vision of the intramural program. Kicking off the school year, Alpha Delta Pi won honors in volley- ball, edging out YWCA. Girls ' basketball followed with a round robin schedule, followed by a double elimination tourna- ment which continued into the Spring. ELMA ROANE Women ' s Intramural Director More May Day action. Spring activities are plentiful in women ' s intra- murals. Badminton, archery, shuffleboard, horse- shoes, tennis and golf afford a variety of ways for coeds to enjoy themselves during the final stages of the school year.
