To Commissioner Harned In every epoch, aye in every age There comes upon the horizon a sage A man with power, and with insight. keen NVhose vision apprehcnds the vast unseen XVhose soul's his light. Such is thy wisdom, 111m most noble friend In whom simplicity and magnitude do blend Effusing justice, love for all mankind A countenance bespeaking thoughts sublime and calmest peace. Peace rests with thee because thy Sllll-CI'O'WDCd head Hus never bowed to sentiments that fed 011 selfish aims, and narrow petty schemes That 0nd in useless, wild delusivc dreams and bitterness. Thine is a dream of service, brotherhood, Homes blessed with well trained hopeful motherhood Strong, manly fathers, fol'wzu'd-iookingJ brave; XVho dares to face a Hercules to save a Worthy cause. Dreams cannot be our masters, if we mix Them full of spurring supplements that; fix Our latent and our crude untutored aims T0 concrete tangibilities that iiame with ideal grace. If such be thine, dream on, O noble sage! That Providence hath raised to bless this age God give us courage, XViSdOln and a will To follow where thou leadest us, until Thy dream comes true. tAdvcmced Emmession ClassJ mm! nlmnnmmummlm$$$smlmmmmurmmummmulmr y:.ktg .- x, . um:mmmmunnlmmt :;I-V-:g 1925 7 g -m 9$Wa :41. . .

Wan m Tvev.1'3!.i:6.: Tennessee Agricultural And Industrial State College Realizing the growing need for well trained teachers and vomtionai training , the General Assembly of Tennessee, hy Legislative Act of 1909. created Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School. The genuine service rendered to the C01111110111vealth since the actual beginning of: the institution in 1912 has, in a large measure, met these needs. The location of the institution in Nashville because of its educational environment, easy accessibility and healthfuhiess is an enduring testimony to the Wisdom of its founders. . A. and I. State Normal is young enough to be progressive and modern. yet old enough to have stability; young enough while training its sons and daughters for the tasks of today to look forward with them to the needs of a tomorrow of happy promise, yet old enough to possess traditions of the past. A. and 1. State Normal is large enough to afford many and 'aried in- tel'ests and activities, yet small enough to make pessihle close fellowship between students and intimate contact between students and faculty. The life of the campus is denmeratie in the best. sense. A student is judged by what he is rather than by what he has. As compared with other institutions of equal rank the expenses of A. and I. State Normal are very moderate, yet. the quality of the work and the wheiesomeness of the environment is in no sense lteheapfi Much of the value is gained fyom the activities of the campus Which are apart from the regular courses of instruction. The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W1 0. A. hold regular meetings and carry out a comprehensive program of work each year Many of the affairs of the student body are governed by the Student Council, which is composed of the presidents of the several classes. The School Chorus, the Orchestra and the Monk and XVemen's Glee Clubs enable those who have musical talent to develop it under able instruction. Sais Society serves as a stimulus to greater intellectual activity. Elec- tion to the society is based on a general average of. 8570 with a minimum grade of 8070 in am' subject and geneini excellence in department. The Dramatic Club prese11ts,f1'0m time to time plays and piaHCts writ- ten by its own members 01' the wmhs of well hiimx 11 playwiights. Lectures, recitals, concerts and photoplays are usually free to 311 gm. dents of the institution. tContinued 011 Page 13?

It was in the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty-one when a band of ambitious youths started on the road to success. tWe met 011 the beautiful and spacious eampus of A. and 1. State Normal to seek admission to the eollege department. After we had spent about four weeks trying to learn each other and the school we turned 0111' attention to the great task of organizing 0111' class. For this purpose we met and elected our first oth'cers. Miss J. L. Rowan, President; Mr. A. H. Porter, Secretary and Mr. II. XV. Harrison, Treasurer. Realizing that ttSuecess crowns all laborW we set out with a grim determination to win. We took prominent parts in all activities of the school and were among the leaders. In religious exercises, we were well represented. Page owenty-fOW . A , .7- -., o1 saluting?- a Part II. The first thing we noticed when we came back as Sophomores in 19:22 was that we had lost many of 0111' original number. Nevertheless, we got much pleasure from watching the new girls and Hseeing ourselves as others had seen 118.7, Our first business that fall was to elect our sophomore 0f- fieers. Mix Thomas Clark was elected president; Mr. G. Honglnnd. Vice President; Mr. A. H. Porter, Secretary and Mr. H. 'W. Harrison, Treasurer. Under the guidance of our president, we began our preparation for the Sophomore Soiree. It. ranked as the best social event among the student body. Our boys are highly praised for their athletic ability; and our girls were stars in basketball. 'We were very glad to have two members of our class feature in the Oratorieal Contest, in which they proved their mental ability, being able to cope equally with any of their opponents. Part III. Our duty this fall was to elect our class officers. Mr. William P. Boy- kins was President; Mr, Thomas Clark, Vice President; Mr. Bronghton Jones, Secretary and Mr. H. NV. Harrison, Treasurer. As, a class we were active and enthusiastic in our Juniority. Our scholarship ranked high. 0111' unselfishness and modernized aim had been sent to all parts of the state. PaTt IV. As we stepped from the ranks of Juniorhood t0 the dignified plains of Seniorship, we realized that we were nearing the goal for which we had so diligently fought. Realizing that there was much to be done, Our class officers were elected: Mr. XVilliani Boykins, President, Mr. Guy Hoffman, Vice President; Mr. Thomas Clark, Secretary and Mr. Bronghton Jones, Treasurer. Getting ready for tlThe Radiol, became our chief activity dur- ing the Second Quarter. Three of our members held important. parts 011 the staff and all Of us were deeply interested in the project. In the Third Quarter the underclassmen were startled to see us wear- ing our caps and gowns all day. Another thought that was uppermost in the minds of all the Juniors throughout the year was HHow will I look in my cap and gowniw NVe have given you here our history in brief from September, 1921 to June, 1925. We have had joys and have had sorrows; there have been lmth smiles and tears; but we have been happy. We are taking away with us possessions which we deem priceless. We have formed friendships which will last forever. And may the motto which has inspired and guided us safely through these years pilot us through life, uClimb though the rocks be rugged Page twenty-five :23 :8 153: sour... ........ 2:... ran mEOm HNUkM a UL CF ..............

The beginning of the College class of 727 dates back to 1917 when Dewey Fields was elected president of what was then termed as the HB Prepil class of A. and I. State Normal. During each succeeding year as old members dropped out, their places were filled by new ones. XVhile in the ttPrepli department the class made for itself an appree eiated name of insoluble workers for a common end. 1.11 1919 the College Class of 27 made its debut into the Academic D0 partment. While the class was in its infancy in Academic School work it won the undisputed base ball championship of the school, which record it has never lost. Also the class has for the first time to meet with the loss of a single base ball game. The class of 727 has the distinction of having two members to maintain the standard of HSais,H the honorary society from its organization until now. tMisses Holt and Alexanderj Throughout high sehnol the varsity base ball team was composed mainly of members of this class. Throughout the high school the class maintained a larger number in the Sais Society than any other class in the institution. Also during this time the class has had one All-Southern football star in the person 015 James Nanee. In the fall of 1923 when the class of a2'? entered the college department and with the deepest of regrets to all patriotic members it was divided into two separate classes of Collegiate work: the Junior Normal Class, with James Nance as President, and the Freshmen College elase with Lorenza Miller as president. Though separated as they were in the physical sense, there was a common feeling of mutual taste, sympathies and affection. The Junior Normal class was composed mainly of the best students and rcln'e' sented high schools of the three grand divisions of the state. The superla- lch genius of both classes in a'll phases of school endeavors maintained for both a remarkable place in the eyes of the faculty and student body. The Freshmen Class consisted mainly of old members of the Academic class of 723. .In the tall 01 1924 the Junior Normal Class and the FreShmen Collcge Class returned to A. and I. State College as one and inseparable and with one eennnon interest at heart. They are now the Sophomore College Class of A. and I. State College. Lorenza Miller was elected president and the class began its regular procedure of distinguishing itself along all lines 01 school activity. The Star lmek-field ol' the football squad was made up of Sophomm'C College members: Nance, Vernon and Morrison, who displayed in fine style. The marks of success from the past are only incentives for continued and successive efforts of ceaseless endeavors to write in the hearts of those who have made possible this opportunity 3 garden of forget-mernots composed of glndness anzl appreciation. The membersl inspirations and ideals are found in every field of learned pmt'msions and it is hoped that the future will be none the less successful than the past in gaining and maintaining these things and principles for which they hope and strive.

D. i Upshaw t0 the presidency 111111 Miss Nenti Bunch tn the seeretam'ship. i From the day of organization it has steadily progressed on the patln :1 way of success. Casting- aside their academic dreams of a college studentis l easy life, the members of the class have continued to clinih though the rocks '1 be rugged. Through hard work and pel'sevelanee cthev have masteled the 1111111610113 formulas of Prof. D. A. Jt 0111195 111 his College t hemistry and College Phy sivs, the difficult problzms of Prof. NV, D. Davenport in College Algebra and the . hundreds of technical points presented by Prof. G. XV. Gate in Freshman i Rhetoric and Advanced Composition. Though their studies are some of the 11iest difficult one: offered in the t institution, the Freshmen have furnished the Sais Society with four mem- bers, and the Epsilon Sigma Chi with fifteen members. It has also given many membets t0 the chorus and Glee Club. The Freshman Rhetorical was declared by all who had the opportunity of attending it to have been one of the best presented here this year. In regard to athletics the class has been the equal of any in the school; they have furnished men for the varsity football team and have been cham- pions in both base hall and basketball. Every page in the Year Book could be used to discuss the merits of the Freshman Class, but it has been wisely said that Uall work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, therefore it would be better to glance over the class roll from the humorous side.

THOUGHTS OF THE FIRST YEARS WVeHl like to think when this first yeafs done That we have mled a needed post That here and there weK'e paid our fare With more than idle talk and boast; That we have taken gifts divine The opportunities anrdei and manhood flue, And tried to use them now and then In service to 0111' felloymen. VVekl hate to think when four years .are through That we?d spent our round of years A useless kind, that leaves behind No worthwhile record of a High School camel That we had wasted every day In Hgetting byn just any old way, And that 01d Normal would be the same If it had never known our name. Page sixty-one i K ?ZH-g-h'u 2.2mmvgmwww '-ar$'; '- mmmmwwwnuqr mmmmmmmuwdr$m15mm: y- wmmm .M H --:v .4 an 1 Wetd like to think that here and there When we are gone there shall remain A happier spot that might have not Existed had we toiled for gain That the teachers, cheery voice and smile Would prove that one class had been worthwhile That we had paid with our conduct fine Our debt to Normal for a life divine. State Normal Summer School The Summer School holds a very important place in the life of the ill- stitution. In fact it is interesting to note that the school had its origin in a summer session, with an enrollment of 2510 earnest teachers from the various parts of Tennessee. The Summer School, however, has not maintained its first enrollment but has grown to be the largest Summer School in the world for Negroes, with an enrollment of more than 1,200 teachers from Tennese see and adjoining states. The question might rightly be asked, Why attend State Normal Sum- mer School? The answer is found in the Statement of the purpose 0f the Summer School. It is designed to meet the needs of the following types Of people: 1. Teachers who wiSh to specialize. . A11 professional teachers who desire additional work in Educatlon. County and city supervisors. Teachers of rural schools. Teachers who wish subjects credited 011 teachers, Certificates. Teachers who are prepaiing f01 State Teachers, Examination- Teaehers desiring certificate renewal All the courses taught during the Regular School are Offered WhiCh give the teachels an opportunity to select special work in English, Educa- tion, PhV sieal Sciences, Social Sciences and Mathematics; as well as speelal work in Domestic Science and Domestic Art. Aside from the regular summer school course, a large part Of the bene- fit derived from attendance is secured through the special features that are provided from time to time. These consist of movies, special lectures, re- citals, entertainments by teacher groups and visitors, and trips 0f Ob' servation. 493.0?99N Page sixty-two .gm Class And Club Organizations Of A.

Hoffman Theodore Kennedy Anderson Billy Hale J1. Club The Anderson Billy Hale Jr. Club was organized the first Monday in October, 111 the year 1915, A. D. The big idea of having a student's organi- zation was suggested by David M. Anderson. 011 Monday evening eleven other men were called together in the Meuis Dormitory to discuss his idea and plans. With Anderson acting as chairman, Robert 11. Smith, was elected President; Pope llimble Seeletary; and G. XV. Senters, Treasurer. Others present uho 11e1e conside1ed members were Messrs. J3. M. Young, D1: L. L. Spam, E. P. Collier, J. A, Lee, S. E. Chrite, A. M. Dobbins, W'. 11. Ryan and G. Lindsey. It was named after Billy Hale, Jr. and was called the Billy Hale J1'. Club until after the death of its founder, David M. Anderson. So in memory of its founder, Anderson was added, and it will be known througlb out the ages as the gAnderson Billy Hale Jr. Club. ii Former'iy the quota was twelve but since the fall of 1924 it has been changed to twenty-four. The chief object of this organization is to promote the general intel- lectual and moral development of its members and the student body; to assist in any way possible to retain a high standard and develop high ideals among the students. Every year new members become affiliated with this club. As near as possible the best judgment has been exercised in accepting new men. Men of good rating, men of character and vision, men fai1 and square in their dealing with other students, men with a definite purpose 111 life. Each year on the 26th day of November the club holds memorial services in honor of David Anderson. Annually one week is observed as HCUL- TURE WEEK.H During the Spring term new officers are elected, and during the Fall term new members are initiated into the club. Officers and members are as follows: Wm. P. Boykin, President Edward Savage, Sergt.-at-Arms P. B. Sweeps, Vice President Burgan Russell, Treasurer W. C. Towns, Secretary Tlhos. A.

V Believing that Dramatic Art leads to freedom and develolmlent in all phases of expression, four years ago a group of young penple with the Hill Of the Dramatic Art teacher, organized themselves into the nueh-m 01' what is now our Dramatic Club. Our aim is, through study classes, reading circles, and lectures, to aid in the restoration of the Drama to its hmmmhle place, as the most effective medium of self. expression. We have held three annual COIItOStS, at Which the Sais Society, the honor society nt' our Helmet, because of its belief in the relative importance that this club bears to the higher intellectual Standards of the school, awarded gold and silver medals for the following prize selections; L.BCH HUPYS Chariot Racef, HThe Sign of the Crossf MThe Linn am! the M01139,n HNehnchadnezzarE: Feast? Wl'he Last Days of Pompeii, tKJean Val Jean? . We have sent representatives to many public places throughnut the City and have given dramatic readings that have met with much approval. We have rendered the following dramas, HNothing But the Truth? HTum t0 the Right, and ttEVCFy Youth. Our outlook is hopeful and our greatest desire is to be felt throughout the school as one of the big fat: 3 that lead to a more elevated public sentiment for better and more artistic dramatic productions.

Hale, A. 13., Fisk Myrtle Robinson Page seventy-ez'gkt Sais Societyi Sais has many ideal principles which it holds out to the student body, 2111 Of which have as their ultimate aim the stimulation of students to greater endeavor and the production of symmetrical development. Sais was organized in January, 1919, through the efforts of the heads of the several departnmnts 0f the institution and Since that time has been functioning as $1 beacon, a light that has never failed. Students, since its organization, have ever pointed to this society with pride and have striven with deter111i11ati011 and zeal to reach and maintain the .11equired standard of Sais. 4 All students, in or above the hi'st VCEH' academic class, who make an average of 855 in literia 1 and xocational subjects and whose aveiage in health, Character, social and school activities is above par arc elig1b1e for membeiship in Sais Society. Initiations are held the second Thmsday of each term for the preceding term. These initiations me some of the secrets and myste1ies 0f Sais and they hold quite a bit 0f curiosity and inteiest for the student body at large. The annual affairs of Sais are its vespers at Christmas time, its party in honor of Lincoln at which time ability to handle social affairs is demon- strated, its annual Sais sermon preached the third Sunday of May and its social held each year at the close of school. In order to encourage students in the spirit of service and helpfulness, Sais collects each year at Thanks- giving student contributions. Sais does not exist as a society for people of genius, but as a symbol of the fruit of labor and of thought.

Faculty Adviser This year has been one of the most beneficial years the Y. M. C. A. has seen for a long time. In November, we entertained all of the Y. M. C.

At this series of meetings, Mr. Graver and Mr. ViVilson7 Y 860- retaries, and two speakers from Vanderbilt University, gave the delegates many helpful plans for this yeafs work. XVe rejoice also to state that again at A. and I. there is much religious fervor shown in our Sunday Bible Study Class. With the encouraging and inspiring henrt-to-heal't talks of our Faculty Adviser, Mr. Forbes, 0111' text: itF'ACING STUDENT PROBIJEBIS,, has helped many a student, to get a new View of college life. and yet hold on to the faith of our fathers of old. Indeed, one of the most hopeful features of this yearls work has been the Y. M. C. A. BROTHERIIOOD MEETINGS held between the Fisk and the A. and I. Y. M. C. A.,S. Great good, closer union in brotherly love, and bigger plans for stronger fellowship were derived from these meetings. But besides prospering spiritually, we also have succeeded financially. Two pledges. one of $12.00 for the Home Y-VVork, and one of $25.00 for the Foreign Work, have both been paid in full. The teachers and the Y. W. C. A. did much to help us put over these programs. The spirit of the work has been so fine, and the members have toiled so valiantly that we all with one voice sing the song: .-....u.-uu. yup ... - e ttBIest be the tie that binds, Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds, Is like to that above?

It began to Whisper its presence again about a year and a half ago. NOW it can be heard in round, clear tones, i The Art Department at Normal is Alive Againy Art, as we study it, is expression of beauty applicable to any object of utility. Considerable time is spent in all classes on the principles of design, composition, construction and the correct kimwledge of a system of color. The aim is to help students to express and originate in a graphic way, to originate and express in materials such as wood, cardboard, clay and others, to know and appreciate beauty in line, form, and color. Some of the several methods of approach to the subject are talks, notes, and illustration by the instructor, also reference to books 011 different phases of art by eminent art educators. The work is planned so that methods of teaching accompany each phase of the work given, When enough time has been allowed to grasp these fundamentals, they are applied to such objects as book-ends, desk sets, screens of various kinds, boxes, pie- tures and frames, lamp shades of different types, albums and other book- lets, tiles, door steps, curtain pulls, decorating of glass and pottery, hvhen good. forms can be found at low pricesi and many others too numerous to name here. Poster works advertising special days and occasions in another impor- tant application. Besides the work mentioned above special courses wov- erlng from three to six weeks or more according to the suhjch are given in the following: Mechanical drawing, which covers: Study of building construction, Perspective drawing, Blue-printing, Brief course in the history of architecture, Costume Design. History of costume from the costume of early Egyptian times to present. Importance of laundering and correct cleaning 0f fabrics. Fabrics and how to know them. Color study and its application to costume dying and painting of fabrics. Original designs for dresses, blouses, etc. Black-printing. A modern adaptation of wood cutting hy the use of battleship linoleum and carving tools.

Block-prints in this publication were made by a student. The materials for this work are inexpensive. Those in common use are wood, cardboard, paper, water colors, oil colors, dyes, oilcloth, linen, crepe, cotton, leather and gesso which is a modern adaptation of an old Italian art material. The mixture is made in the department. A prepara- tion for the same use sells at. a retail price of fifty cents per oz. jar. As interest, knowledge and skill in the work grows we hope to work With copper, brass, clay and cement. The courses prepare for teaching in correlation with other subjects or as a separate subject. Best of all it leads students to refinement and choice through the appreciation of beauty in many things that they must use in life.

Tell them that State Normal has a Cafeteria and that they serve the most delicious foods in all the world. Yes, food tempting enough to satisfy the appetite of an Epicurean. A. and I. State Normalis cafeteria is singular of its kind throughout the South, for there is no other Negro school in the South that has a cafeteria plan of dining-I'oom service. Under the supervision of a capable and eti'ieient matron the food is well cooked, temptingly arranged and delightfully served. The entire working force is composed of State Normal students. This not only furnishes a means of self-help but develops responsibility on the part of the student and gives him a realization of what it means to be a unit in a big organization. The Cafeteria is 1211'ng enough to accommodate about eight hundred peoe ple, with every possible arrangement conducive to comfort. The artistic arrangement of the tables, potted plants and cut flowers would satisfy the most aesthetic taste, while for us they make the cafeteria the most attractive place 011 the campus. An English Version Of The Twenty-Third Psalm By Joseph Thomas, 27 Professor Gore is my Instructor, 1 shall not want for composition and thesis. He leadeth me into long examinations and quizzes. He restoreth new assignments to all. Yea, tho I walk through the memory verses in the shadows of failure, I fear no evil of criticism: for I aim accustomed to such; My ponies and notes they comfort me. He prepareth catch questions for me in the presence of visitors and critics. - He anointest my head With knowledge; My vocabulary runneth over. Surely these things shall never cease to follow my school career; And I shall dwell in Normal forever. Mr. Harper: mVliss Pickett what is a monologue?

WHAT A STUDENT IN COLLEGE RHETORIC THINKS ABOUT By Letha M cwtz'n On entering the class room a student in College Rhetoric first thinks about answering to the roll call. When that is completed he then begim to wonder what seemingly wild question the teacher is going to start With and just exactly Whether he will start in the middle, side 01' end of the roll for the horrified person to attempt the big task of answering. With this knowledge he begins the absurd process of trying to anticipate what question Will fall his lot so as to be prepared to answer intelligently, in order that he will not be embarrassed before the thirteenth question is asked that he usually must answer before he is seated. After his term is over, if the discussions are long, he settles himself and With prieked ears impatiently awaits the ringing of the gong Which foretells dinner and ttgets set77 to make break-neek speed to the cafeteria.

This custom extends to every happening in life, present, past and future. One is either a Patrician, a first class passer: ger in the main salon of an ocean liner, or a third class passenger in the steerage. He is a first class passenger 01' a nobody. He attends a first class $011001 01' one that iS beloxv par, There are any number of classes but one must be in some 0110 class. You either belong to class A, B, C, et cetera; nevertheless it,s your class. But our concern at this time is class A, the class which scales the center of attraction, and especially are we concerned with this class because of the relation it bears to us individuals who are in pursuit of a Certain mythical quality called knowledge. Now in the hotels along the road to knowledge called schools, there are various accommodations for different. classes of travelers. The travelers who can wave a large wallet fun of Ag before the eyes of the cashier who conducts the entrance examinations is not refused admittance. lie is called a first class or 2111 A student and. is in- ti-odueed into the best societies of the particular locality. He receives all the honors and emoluments that go along with capitalistic pocketbooks. Little time does he have to think of us poor, toil-worn mortals who have nothing but Bis, Cis and Dis to present at the window. It seems that Mister A. Student comes by his wealth too easily. Yet, we trudge, search and grind and never receive such low returns as PPS. The hotel authorities seem displeased nevertheless because we cannot pay A53 for serving- which we receive. They call us together in solemn assembly and relate to us sundry ways by which we may earn A. Yet, try as we might, we are unable to accomplish the feat. The world seems to be in a Wild chase after the elusive A. And if one happens to be rather slow or indifferent in the manner in which he runs, his pockets will never be lined With A,S. Sometimes we act on 0111- initiative and ask Mister A. Student how to earn such big money and he tells us that he does not know how. We get off to ourselves and ponder over the mystery- And as we ponder we invariably reach this conclusion: A's and the American dollar bear a close similarity, Both are elusive, exclusive and conclusive. Elusive because of the strenuous and prolonged chase required to catch them; exclusive because of the limited few who acquire them; and conclusive because it means the end of a hard period of work when they are obtained.
