M., PRESIDENT But thou wouldst not alone Be saved, my father! alone Conquer and come to thy goal, Leaving the rest in the wild. We were weary, and we Fearful, and we in our march Fain to drop down and to die, Still thou turnedst, and still Beckonedst the trembler, and still Gavest the weary, thy hand. If, in the paths of the world, Stones might have wounded thy feet, Toil or dejection have tried Thy spirit, of that we saw Nothing-to us thou wast still Cheerful, and helpful, and firm! Therefore to thee it was given Many to save with thyself; And, at the end of the day, 0, faithful shepherd! to come, Bringing thy sheep in thy hand.

The idea of offering strictly collegiate teaCher training work has been in the mlnds of the school administrators for several years. For two or three years prev10us to 1923 the so-called Normal Schools were made more rigigi and greater in variety of courses. In 1923, the first college won: above Sophomore was offered to a number of graduates of the Sophomore class. Those returning for this J unior College work numbered only eight, but they set a high standard of scholarship which nut the four years college course on a very high plane of scholarship Much nf the college work of an advanced nature was woven around the Seience Depart- ment in which the majority of the advanced students were interested. This Science work included College Zoology, College Botany, Analytical Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry. In 1924 we had our first college grad- uating class which numbered seven men and one woman. The majority of this class is now pursuing advanced work in professional schools. In 1925 there were six graduates, all of Whom, except one, are engaged in teaching. In 1926 there are sixteen candidates for degrees, four of whom are physicians, seeking literary degrees. A large majority of 'this class plans to follow teaChing as a profession. 1111 the present J unior class there are thirty who Will be candidates for degrees in 1927. The new law con- cerning certiiicates has greatly assisted in holding over students for J unior and Senior College Work. The State requires from one to two years of college work to teach in a first class elementary school and four years of college work to teach in a first class high school. J udging by the number of those in the Sophomore class who are pursuing four years of college work there will be a much larger number of graduates for 1928. The success of college work as far as the number of students, quality of work done, etc., are concerned, is assured.

Page 29 COLLEGE SENIORS Their Yesterdays-Today-T0morrow May 27, and the college days of these sixteen seniors will be but mmeeries of hours of hard work; yes, but of good times and pleasures as well. Four years ago, we ene tered Tennessee State College to begin our College educa- tion. In every phase of school life we have been represent- ed. Gziy ha? been a star foot ball man, and well deserves to wear the sweater with four stripes for service. Savage has stood out preeminently for four years as the undisput- ed iisheik of the class. 111 auto mechanics and electrical engineering, Louis has had the last word. Memories of things done and accomplished in the good old days of Ten- nessee State, memories 01 ir'iendbirnp ani: romances, w'i'i'i linger long in the thoughts of the seniors as they meditate over these years of happiness. Six of our origiinal Freshmen remain, yet our new members have easily gained our spirit and absorbed our motto, Never cease until we conquer. Let us take a peep into the book called iiTodayP Rheba is Editor-in-Chief of the Radio Staif, and well she deserves the position. Corine is at the Head of the Dressmaking Department and main- tains her poise under all conditions. Foster is our Vice President, and he is destined to be a man of power and means. Drs. Meadows, Chambers, Fletcher, and Alleyene, all have added much inspiration and enthusiasm to our class. As President of the class, Mrs. Lydia Oineal is con- stantly directing and showing us the goal which lies ahead. And now comes out iiTomorrowF Bebe is destined to be the world's greatest actress, and we will see her in Holly- wood, since she plans to go there. Josephineis ambition is to be the mother of three children, to hold an A. M . degree in Sociology, and be an instructor in Yale. Edith will be managing her Modlste Shop in Brooklyn, and what of her home and husbandewell, she can manage them too. And now for home makers, 01a M. wants a degree in Home Eco- nomics and to be an instructor while managing a unique tea room. Can she cook? Probably her better half will answer that. Our days with Tennessee State are drawing to a close. We realize that we should have availed ourselves of many opportunities which we let go by; yet we feel that we have been enriched by the fine influences under which we have been, especially that of iiDad Harper who has been watch- ing over us from days of iiPrep-ology. Our class loves him as a dad, and we trust that with the coming of days some new childrel. will be able in part to fill our place with him. To our Alma Mater, we love you, we love you for what you stand, mThink, Work, ServeF And as the third degree class of the institution, we shall ever strive to be loyal sons and daughters, to uphold your truths and your principles, to eliminate darkness and spread rays of light.

People, people everywhere! There were people and more people. There were people walking, running, riding, and iiying. There were long people and short people. In other words, there were people in the air and everywhere. The half has yet to be told. The sights and thrills are to be seen later at the long line-up for the dining hall. Meals are served actually from an hour to an hour and a half thrice daily. After school hours the grounds are transformed into a scene such as one might see on the Board Walk in Atlantic City when a fashion display is being staged. On the formal opening day, Rev. W. S. Ellington, 0f the Frst Baptist Church, East Nashville, read the scripture lesson. President Hale gave the history of the school. Several welcome addresses were given to theteachers, among which was one by Prof. Talley of Fisk University, who gave a very intellectual and inspiring talk in which he made a vivid com- parison of the season of growth of a plant with that of the sutdentts mind. Mayor Hillary Howse was the principal speaker. He gave an inter- esting speech in which he stated that he knew of the trials and tribula- tions of the poor whites and colored and of the state of the rich, and plqu- ed himself to see to it that justice should be given all. A very impressive response was made to the welcome address by Prof. G. P. Hamilton, prin- cipal of Kortrecht High School, Memphis, Tennessee. The institution had the distinct honor of having Dr. Herbert Alphonso Miller, the acting president of Fisk University, as one of its chapel speak- ers. He told of his experience in visiting colored schools in rural districts of North Carolina. He further stressed that the teacher is the most in- fluential being of the universe, and as such he should exert his infiuence in the right channel. Prof. W. H. Singleton, of Chattanooga, in behalf of the National Teachers Association, gave the objectives of the Association in Which he related the four chief functions: in The elimination of illiteracy in our adults; at increase of population; t3i equal distribution of funds; OD promotionof health, education, and a closer connection of home and school and the encouragement of thrift. Hon. Roy Myers from the Department of Certification came out and gave desirable information on certificates and how to qualify for them, Hon. S. L. Smith of the Rosenwald Fund discussed the work of that body and how to secure funds for buildings from the organization. Dr. C. V. Roman, eye specialist and lecturer, brought a series of mes- sages Which contained food for thought. Page 50 7213 RADIO iiThe Measure of a Man was remarkably discussed by Mr. Chas. Sat- chell Morris of Norfolk, Va., in which he emphasized courage. faith, char- acter, and loyalty as essential factors in the measuring of a man. Among other noted persons present during the session were President T. R. Davis of Walden College; D. W .C rutcher, a representative of Nash- ville Negro Board of Trade; Calvin McKissack, president of the Board of Trade ,Mr. Burton, the Inter- Racial Secretary; Mr. Shaw, Dean of Fisk University; Dr. J. H. Dillard, of the Jeanes Fund and representative of the General Education Board; Mr. Baker, Chaplain of Fisk University; and Mr. R. E. Clay, colored secretary of the Inter-Racial League Members of the faculty gave interesting talks throughout the session. Teachers in attendance here rendered vocal solos .and instrumental music during chapel periods, among which were numbers rendered by Mrs. Zelma Cooke Miss Long, Miss Davies, and others. Founder s Day culminated the chapel exercises in the form of a pageant portraying pictures of President Hale, namely: Hope, Faith. In- spiration Aspiration, Perseverance, and Love. Recreation aid Social Activities This part of the summer school opened With the sky as a canopy and the stars and moon as our lighting fixtures President and Mrs.Ha1e e11- tertained with a merry and delightful reception on the lawn. Refresh- ments were served after which all were entertained by a movie. Boat Ride To the rhythm of the latest strains of popular music, the student body participated in the annual Boat Ride down the peaceful and alluring Cum- berland River on the twenty-seventh of June. This is an annual feature of the summer Session. Movies 11 Each Friday, at 8:00 P. M., in the College Auditorium, movies were s .own. Voice Recital and Dramatic Contest Mrs. Zelmae Cook appeared in Voice Recital in the College Auditorium, J uly 2, 1925, at 8:00 P. M., assisted by several members of the dramatic glass among whom were Misses Birdie Stanley, Sallie Williams, and Mabel mith. Summer School Commencement Exercises One hundred seventy-one students received diplomas at the fourteenth annual Summer School session of A. and I. College on Friday, :July 10. iiThe Value of Time' was the subject of the Commencement OratiOn, an address by Rev. George Stoves, pastor of West End Methodist Church. One hundred seventy- one certificates were presented to the graduates of the various departments by Professor Phillips of Peabody Colleg. e Brief talks were made by Hon S. L Smith, representative of the State Board of Education and President W. J . Hale.

On entering you will behold a large dining hall with a seating cap'amty of about 600, rows and rows of pure white tables, beautiful deco- rations, furnishings, woodwork and lioors clean and bright, a beautifully pohshed steam able. You will be in an atmosphere that makes you feel at home and enjoy the meal, a room well ventilated in summer and well heat- ed in winter, You will hear satisfied diners laughing and talking. The Cafeteria is a beautiful place and has the finest equipment obtain- able. The food is properly selected, cleaned, cooked, and served by properly dressed girls. The Cafeteria uses only suitable products Which are sound and Wholesome. It uses sanitary and hygenic methods. It maintains the highest standards of quality. It serves the itfreshest of the freshH in vegetables and-meats, breads, and pastries. It not only is a place of heavenly eats but it is a place of training All the work is done by students, even the checking station is filled by a stu- dent. There are more than thirty who assist in the Cafeteria. The checker is trained for business and learns to be accurate, cordial, punctual, quick, and sharp. This is one place where you can have exactly what you want. You have it steaming hot or ice cold. Put in an order before time and you can have any special dish. The students like to go to the Cafeteria because they can get plenty of well cooked and nutritious food and because this food is properly and pleasantly served. No surliness on the part of the servers, nothing but smiles and an earnest endeavor to give exactly What is wanted. Two and three meats are served at each meal, nothing over ten cents. You don,t have to take my word; come and see for yourself. Itls a great place to go. You may place your hats anywhere and rest assured they will be there when you return, because lthereis no placard of ' Not responsible for lost articles, or Watch your things to make you sus- p1c1ous. The Cafeteria is supervised by a well trained matron who itputs things overt successfully and is never too busy to attend to your wants. Serwce With a smile seems to be her motto and the motto of those who ass1st. In trying to please and add further to the comforts of the students, the O'afe- teria cooks any meal in any desired manner. People on a diet are glyen special attention. All of this goes to show that the Cafeteria is carried along on a good, solid, business-like basis and that the contented employee is instrumental in helping to give this kind of service. Oh, YES! the tray of empty dishes is to be taken to the rear table when you have fmished your meal.

This organization, in reality, is known as Hale's Honorary Society, and is made up of the students whose general average in their literary work is eighty-five per cent and above for the preceeding termt There are ninety-one of these students, sixty-nine of them being in the College Department. The different classes are represented as follows: Seniors, eight; J uniors, fourteen; Sophomores, twenty; Freshman, twenty. seven; Fourth Year, four; Third Year, six; Second Year, five; First Year, seven. On Friday, April 30, 1926. this society took over the official duties of the school and some of the members of the faculty enjoyed a much needed rest While their respective representatives served in their places. Mf. T. D. Upshaw won for himself the approbation of all by the ex- ecutive ability he manifested while serving as the ttPresident of the school. A wonderful spirit of cooperation was shown by the whole stu- dent body and the faculty as well. So great was the inspiration, seem- ingly, that we dare to expect that many more names will be added to the list of Doersti by the end of the school year.

Page 75 CULINARY ART CLUB YOUNG WOMENS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION KENTUCKY CLUB A The RADIO FOOT BALL 1925 FOOT BALL SEASON Too much honor cannot be paid to the members of the 1925 Foot Ball Squad. The season was marked by victory after victory-Walden,Mor- ris Brown, Roger Williams, Simmons, all going down in ignominious de- feat before the victorious hordes of Captain Hoffman. Only one defeat did our boys suffer, that coming in a post-season game with 'Fisk who won only by a Small margin. As a captain, Hoffman showed unusual skill in both technique and in generalship, for he was quarter-back as well. Jackson in center, with Up- shaw and Hainey playing next to him, andiBrowne and Getridge in the tackles would make any line almost impregnable. Belle and Gilmore in ends kept the offensive work of our opponents turned upon the five men in the center of the line, while our backs worked very effectively ,against any aereal attacks. Equally as effective was their offensive game; for whenever Vernon, Morrison, Gaston, or Webster were called through the line, they always found a hole waiting. A11 in all, our team for 1925 .was one of the best in Dixie? and with most of our old players returning the prospects for 1926, are bright indeed, especially when we consider the toe of Bright during spring practice. This young man kicks the ball forty and fifty yards for a goal from almost any angle of 'the iield. What has been said with reference to our players can, with equal force, be said with reference to our executive staff. The coaches worked early, late and hard to give us a winning team. Manager Gilbert was even more than a manager, for he performed the duties of trainerias well. It is with great reluctance that we give him up; yet we rejoice to know that he is not leaving the city and hope to see himiin our midst often en- couraging the boys to play hard and clean and urging them on to Victorv. Page 78 BASKET B ALL 1726 RAD IO BASKET BALL REVIEW OF THE 1925-26 SEASON The seasons i1925-26l curtain went up with a flash for the students of Tennessee State College. After less than three weeks, practice, a short time indeed, in Which to pick and practice a team from absolutely new material, they were scheduled to play the cityis most formidable quintet, Fisk University. Thljoughout the season the boys played hard but fair and clean, for they knew that to win through unfairness would be to lose their self-res- pect and the fun of the game. In their victories as Well as their defeats, they were ever praised for the clean, sportsman-like way in which they conducted themselves. PERSONAL RECORDS tiJack Alton J ackson, Captain tCenterl Jacksonis consistent defensive playing was one of the features of the game throughout the season. He received the tip-off from every center and his sudden bursts of offensive playing made possible more than one Victory. His personal score was 56 points. iiHopi, Alex Hopson, Assistant Captain, Forward Here we have the teams high point man and most dependable for- ward iiHop broke through every defense and at team-work, he was un- surpassed; his dribbling andrpivotnig were superb. Personal score, 112 points. iiTed Theodore Poston, Forward In this man, we have a speedy, elusive forward, whose steady shooting from all angles of the floor made him an invaluable asset to the team. He was good at defensive as well as at Offensive and was a fighter to the last Whistle. Personal score, 76 points. iiLittle Simmieii Samuel Jones, Guard Jones was the terror of all opposing forwards. His steady playing as stationary guard and his ability to make free throws won him the grati- tude of T .S. C. 6Fast Blackii Lawrence Blackburn, Guard A consistent player Who was always ready to sacrifice persohal honor for Victory. iiBlacki, was always on the job and like a barbcd-ere fence, was never crossed without difficulty. Slimii Cleveland Harris, Cenfer Seldom equalled at his position and never excelled. Slim was noted for his consistent defensive and offensive playing. He is also blessed with an exceedingly good nature. Page 81 a The RADIO tiMotsh R. E. Johnson, Utility Man The name alone shows his great importance to the team. itMots was an extremely good player at any position but was an ultra-excellent fora ward. He was always noted for his cool head. tiHalf 'Manii Elbert Purdy, Forward A hard fighter and very dependable man. He could always be de- pended on to make a goal when least expected. Especially was he feared for his long shots. Playing one of the heaviest sehedules of any school in the city with such opponents as Fisk University, Roger Williams, Walden College, West Kentucky Industrial College, and others, the team suffered nine defeats and scored nine victories, an unusual percentage for 3. teams first year in basketball. In the words of the Chicago Defender, ttThe unusual success of Nash- villeis most promising basket ball team is due to the ability and persever- ance of the coaches, Messrs. Alston and Riley. GIRLSi BASKET BALL TEAM Sitting, left to right: Cordelia McElroth, Ella Henry, Emma Whiteside, Helen Stubblefield, Beulah Gibson Standing, left to right: Annie L.

State College to--have a girlsi basket ball team, much splendid work and spirit were shown and more is expected in the future. In the three intercollegiate games which were played, the girls gave an excellent acco unt of themselves. The team was coached by Miss Ruth Herod and Mr. John Riley. Page 82 BASE BALL g 1710 RAD IO BASE BALL The Base Ball Team has seemingly gotten off to a very good start for the 1926 season. State College started its season one week earlier than most of the other schools of the ci ty. At a. meeting held in the Morris Memorial Build- ing, in the early dayys of March, the coaches and base ball managers of the various schools of the city organized a city league, composed of Roger Williams University, Walden College, Fisk University and A. and 1. State College. Each school is to play the other two games, making a total of six games for each school. The school winning the highest per- centage of its games Will be known as the city champions. Saturday, April 3rd, marked the opening of this league, When Tennessee State met and defeated the fast Roger Wil- liams nine by a score of 8 t0 6. Agam on the 7th of April, Tennessee State defeated the aggregation from Walden Col- lege, the 1924 state champions, by a score of 12 t0 7. To date, the Tennessee State team has won all its games. thus giving her a good leatVon the other members of the league. The team has yet to meet Fisk University before it can say just What its chances for the city championship Will be. With such schools as Knoxville College, Morehouse, and Morris Brown University trying hard to get games on the Tennessee State College schedule, the team feels that its real test of ability is just beginning and with such valuable and experienced men in the regular line up as Savage, Gil- more, and Belle, the coaching staff hopes to make a clean record for the year 0t 1926. The team is all worked up over its two straight wins and is hoping to continue its winning streak When it meets Fisk on the 24th of April.

EDUCATION IN ART Three iiights up in the main building is an apartment formerly known as Castle Heights. For two years it has been used. as the Art Depart- ment. The department could boast no better location for spaciousness for a grand view from all its windows. to say nothing of inspiration. The department is the delight of those students who work there regu- larly and a patronage for those who need information and other help on projects which call for art knowledge. The various clubs often use our decorations at their special functions in Chapel. This, in a way, keeps the whole school in touch with the Art Department. The work this year has been largely in crafts and posters. We expect to have the largest and most beautiful exhibit at the close of this term that the school has ever known. Among the articles made are lamp shades, handkerchief and glove boxes, sewing and waste baskets. Various ar- ticles in glass have been modelled over With jesso which changes a Slmple pickle jar into a pleasing vase. Card trays in round ?andtoblong shapes, also serving trays with beautiful original designs add to our collection of useful articles. Early in the fall we exhibited at several fairs. The Tri-State Fair at Memphis gave opportunity for a large exhibit. At tChristmas time a Bazaar was conducted by the Department of Home Economics including the Art Department. It is the hope of the departments that such a bazaar may be an annual affair not only for sale of articles but for the stimulus to make them and to show the public the value and possibilities of school art. The wood cuts used in the Annual were made by a student in the Art Department. The art work used in the ttEvolution of Fashion was. for the most part, made in the Art Department.

FEATURES Q; The RADIO THE COLLEGIAN By Nathaniel Williams When I was in no degree initiated, I often conjectured, dreamed, or meditated teither Will sufficel on the. meaning of the words, ttCollegeK, Collegian, and iiCollegiateP I finally accepted the Viewpoint of the stand- ard dictionary authorities as to the significance of tiCollegeii and my de- cision was doubly confirmed when I found myself in a city that fairly bristled with the red bricked, closely clustered buildings of these founts of knowledge that perched on the tops of her rocky hills. But vestiges of doubt and curiosity yet linger in my mind concerning the words itCol- legian't and itCollegiateP especially especially the former. And. the sur- prising angle of the matter is that the haze becomes worse as I observe the current specimen and consult my heretofore infallible arbiter, the die- tionary. Aye, I have even examined Ye Nordic product. But the haze increases. So I shall pass the result of my examination on to those Who are probably better qualified to reach conclusions than 1. One day in the early fall of a yearpr so ago, two fellows arrived at the station of the educational center of a certain section and With expectant eyes and racing pulses awaited the next phase of the greatest event of their lives, iigoing to college? They had ridden all night on a train in company with a group who had nbeen to college? and their imaginatinns had been fired by the stories, antics, and pennants of their- more sophisti- catedcompanions. Thus we find them in the Union Station. A coatless man approaches; and in good time, for their companions of the coach have hurried off after shouting greetings to some passing acquaintance. They are whisted out to the school and here begins the discussion of the C01- legian. The average college student has a scant sense of proportion. Take, for instance, his proportion of work to play, of seriousness t0 frivolity, of moderation in dress to excess. He studies lightly to avoid tinnecessai'y brain stress and probably premature hardening of the arteries; and. if by chance the exams call for an extra amount of energy, it requ1res until the next exam to recover from the exertion. Now do not wonder at the foregoing statement of facts which I have given you, but refiect on the as- sertion made by most students, iiI didnt come to college to study but to get that college air? Air! Ye Gods! When the very heavens are filled with the best of air? Speaking laconieally, itMaybe, thereis something in itf' The fact remains, the average ttCollegianll looks on study as a hungry tramp looked on a pile of wood before everybody moved to town. tI am endeavoring to describe the tiCollegian, not the studentJ Now there are three important factors which connect themselves closely with the average college person. They are: athletlcs, seeial fenc- tions, and dress,--with Literature, Mathematics, and Selence as strictly sub-factors, and looked upon with great anxiety less they assume premas ture im portonce. . . The athlete is the campus president and the events in which he par- ticipates are gala occasions of the year. .Here- one may ebtain a View of the nCollegian in all his glory. At this time his distingulshmg character- Page 88 9!. The RADIO istic is uRAHX Peculiarly toned cadences swell on the breeze, punctuated at intervals with savage cries here and there and one is impressed by the fact that this country is unconquerable. Because if we take college patriotism as a criterion--well, draw your own conclusions. Running athletics a close second, comes the social life among Col- legiansii Here we have the caste system of India, the prejudice of America, and the cosmopolitan spirit of Paris, mixed. It is too vast a field for me to try to treat here. But an observation must be made concerning the evolution of the ukelele artist into a social lion. Sad to say all tiuke artists do not become lions. When a young man invites a young lady to a Rhetorical or Recital and is accepted; when he has a reserved seat at her side at almost every meal; when he is sure that Misses A or B will accept his company; when he has a city girl; he is too tight, he is tZgretting away. When a lady is sure that John likes her; when she receives five invitations and refuses four or all; when a professional student tDoctnr, eth calls; when the fellow at home sends two specials each week plus sweetmeats; she is too tight? she is ugetting away? Thus we have a brief glimpse at the social world of the collegian,y without considering its fine points. Lastly we come to the third factor, dress. Dress, the cause of anxiety; dress, which next to tuition and books, gives the college student his great- est lessons in the art of deception and propaganda. Have you ever read a ttcollegianls letter of distress home, that S. O. S. to the tifolks ? Well, that is where his art is practiced best. 0n due reflection, one will find it rare to see the old time student,content with one suit, on our modern cam- puses. That specimen has passed. This is the day of the Youth Movement. saxophones, and sack suits. The day when the itcollegianli is most col- legiatei, according as he wears trousers enormously too large, a sweater containing all the mew colors that lure the savage heart; the day when he walks about in winter bare-headed or with a small skull-cap perched on the top of his head and along pipe or cigarette lolling perilously from one corner of his mouth the ttCollegianIii W hat will the result be? Well, trust to luck. With the omission of many other angles, indulgent reader, I leave you to think on and form your own opinion of the meaning and derivation of the word, itCOLLEGIAN. Page 89 g 1716 RADIO THE WALL FLOWERS By Leon Foster, College i26 On entering the Gymnasium of A. and 1. State College, the sound of many vomes fall upon the ear; light voices, heavy voices, sweet voices, and strong masculine voices. The piano is in full play. The music floats out mingling with the laughter and sweet perfumes. Couples are dancing, swaying to and fro in rhythmical movement. The matron may. beseen patrolling .the.bordersoftAthewgymnasiumppeeringwinw a , w to obscure corners and little retreats that may form suitable coves for mis- chievouslovers. Around the walls one may observe a great many Who are present in body but distant in mind and spirit. Standing like Egyptian Mummies, they hang parasitically to the wall and show no inclination to venture from their position or even to participate in the laughter and j est of their livlier schoolmates. As the social continues in its course they re- maln staunch guardians of the wall and dream perhaps of a day divine when melancholy shall lose sway and they too shall be the companions of mirth and play. But the wall flowers influence one into more serious thought. There is something sacred about all present. Behind the smiles in those sparkling eyes, back of the laughter and jest, there is a deeper and nobler meaning. They are iiowers 9f the race. From them must come the leaders of tomorrow. As one walks ere and there among them and gazes into the faces of all colors he can not help but wonder at their future. This one standing near the window solemnly gazing into space may be. the beginning of a poet. The little bobbed hair girl dancing near the piano may become a famous dancer. They are now in full bloom of youth with; out care. The piano is in full play, the music floats out mingling with the laughter and sweet perfumes. Couples are dancing swaying to and fro in rhythmical movement. Around the sides are the wall howers. What will be their future? Who knows? DRY BONES IN THE VALLEY By Gloria Williams, College ,29 Now it came to pass in the year 1926, in the first 1month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River of the lCum- berland, my mind was opened and I saw a vision. 0n the fifth day of the month, I had been in captivity about one 'and one-half terms. The words of the Lord came unto Mr. Hale, the President of A. and I. College, in chapel. He told us of the many clubs that were on the hill, and that some of us were members and some of us were not mem- bers of these clubs. He also told us that many of theseiclubs were very dry; and 10! there would be a club that we all would be in. At first every- body in chapel was like Dry Bones in the Valley? Then he said, ttYou shall rise again? Again he opened his mouth say- ing these words, ttThis club will be composed of 85 per cent and above stu- dents? Then he said, ttThis club will also be composed of 85 percent and below students. Behold, I will see that your name be posted and cause you to be entered upon an Honor or Dishonor Roll. Thus, after he had spoken, the dry bones began to rise from the valley and new life sprang into everybody in the chapel and everybody is trying to get his name posted on the Honor Roll. Page 90 ! The RADIO THE INTELLIGENT'SIA CONDESCENDS AN OPINION ON THE EPICUREANS In the student body of Tennessee State College, there is a peculiar blending of the characteristics of the Negro, the:South, and the youth of the present day. Light-hearted, care-free, emotional, pleasure-loving, they have the real spirit of the age. Their tongues incessantly exercise themselves, in season and out, till one wonders that young minds could furnish material for such a never- ending flow. Their knowledge is unlimited and they pour it forth unstint- edly, often from two to twenty making their contributions in one stormy impulse. There is only one dam that can check this endless chatter, and that is a question from an instructor upon a subject for discussion. When given an opportunity for individual displays of their talking abilities, these same habblers find their tongues suddenly cleaving to the roofs of their mouths. Dancing seems their specialty. In the same spirit as they talk, they dance. With music or without, they practice, even in their walks, every late step With all its variations, for though in general the rythm is the same, every one makexhis own interpretation and aids his motion by his musical swing. Life is one great playground to these students, and they indeed wear this world as a loose garment? for though their greatest ambition is to receive as a donation an excellent grade at the end of each term, nothing seems farther from their minds than a little hard study as a price for such a grade. Hence, on they go, dancing and talking through college, and out into life they soon will continue in the same pleasantly jubilant and irrespon- sible way. THE CHAPEL CAT By William A. Knox, Class of ,28 There are quite a few new things on the campus this year. Every year the school has something new vdhich is a sign that we are progressing. Among the things that are helping to promote our pros- perity are a flock of geese and some ducks to disturb our peaceful slumber early before day with their grotesque ditties of squaling and quacking. Another outstanding added asset is time. We have clocks a plenty. There are clocks in the buildings and clocks on the buildings. Clocks are so numerous that we even have one up in a tree. We have plenty of time, and, by the way, time is a dominant factor in progress. But that is not all. We have something better than that. We have in the chapel a cat. Now he is a nice black and white fellow that looks as though he takes his baths in ashes. He is present at almost all the chapel exercises. Held rather be present at those of a more serious nature. A special seat has not not been reserved for him, yet I think probably there will be as soon as he decides Where he wants to be situated. But I am of the opinion that be Page 91 $221116 RADIO will save Mr. Alston of that worry. It strikes me that he would rather walk through the audience and see some of the funny sights he is sure to see. He has been seen most on the young ments side of the chapel. I think he gets more laughable material from the boys. In my flight of fancy, I have seen him look up into the face of some boy and just laugh with an air or real intelligence that seemed to say, Pm glad I don't look like you? Now we should appreciate our Chapel Cat, because there is a real good in him. He has put to flight that dreaded monster that used to slip out on quiet occasions and make the girls lift their feet high elf the floor and sometimes scream. He has completely routed the mouse. You talk about heroes, but I imagine he is a model hero to the girls. The girls should do much to encourage him by giving him his baths and dressing him up for Vespers and Sunday Services. PHANTOMS OF A HAUNTED HOUSE Odessa L. Turns, Normal t26 It was a very quaint house. From the very first observation a cold chiH would pass over the body, as the silence of everything was so unreal. Some years ago a fantily of four had died here as a result of eating poisoned sardines. They all died the same day, which caused quiet a bit 01 sensation. We were told by inhabitants of this Village that peculiar groans and shuffling of feet might be heard around lunch hour, possibly one olclock P. M. Knowing that we tinferring my uncle, cousin, two nepheWs, and niecesl were too intelligent to be superstitious and fearful of illusions, we decided to visit the HHaunted House. - . Located far back into the yard covered with numerous running Vines and multitudes of tall weeds and sunflowers, we found this very old SiX4 room, two-story, brick house, untouched by human hands for years. By treading and beating back the tall gras and weeds, we reaChed the front door about twelve M. Entering the living room we found a pipe, a cane, and a derby hat that occupied a chair. We did not examine the articles, nor did we touch them, but pased them by. We passed directly from the living room to the dining room where the family who were Victims of the poisoned sardines partook of the food. Here we stopped silently and many thoughts passed over us. We then turned to our right, walking out of the dining room to the foot of a short staircase, and ascended the stairs. After looking into all of the rooms with the exception of one, we became more and more con- vinced that the people had been misled in their illusions when suddenly the Village whistle blew for one otclock. Thinking that we had spent practically an hour in the haunted house and that we could now take our leave, We were suddenly startled by pitiful groans, agonizing groans, and Page 92 $7116 RADIO groans of what not. Some I hope never to hear again. ' Being the youngest I was fr1ghtened out of my wits, while my brave unCIes tied down the stair case into the dining room from which the noise was thought to have come. Here we found nothing, nor did we see anything. Then we decided that surely we all heard something. So we decided to go into the living room; here we found the pipe freshly lighlted, the room filled partly with smoke, and the cane standing without support in the center of the room. While observing this we were startled again by louder groans in the adjoining room. Thus convinced, after trying to take up the cane with its refusal to budge, we decided this was no place for us intelligent folks and we rushed outside to our waiting machine. THE SPRIN G By W. R. Davis, First Year Academic The little birds are singing A message too they bring While singing in the tree top A token of the spring. The little rills are murmuring Much pleasure to be seen In strolling by the waysides That are beautiful and green. The trees will soon be blooming Such a lovely sight to see The birds, the bees, and flowers Are hung over every tree. ODE T0 TENNESSEE STATE COLLEGE By Andrew Bland, College 28 Hallowed is the plot of land Where thy foundations stand, 0 Alma Mater. Bright is the Atmosphere Where thy children thou dost rear, 0 Alma Mater. Blue is the sky above Wonderful is thy love, My Alma Mater. Eternally shall thou be Divinely loved by me, My Alma Mater. Page 93 Q: The RADIO TRADITIONS OF A. AND I. By Beulah Gibson, College i29 . HA1! work and 110 play makes Jack a dull boy. Verily, I say unto you, thls ax10m needs no proof. It is the Whole truth and nothing but the truth, or else belief in it would not be so firmly established throughout our most ell-Wise student body. Ever since the school has been established one of the main features of dormitory life lies in the 'after-study-hour parade. Costumes of every typeeefrom the dashing red outfit of a gypsy to that of the most stately sables which might, and worthily so, enfold a queen, Indeed Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. The Inusu: is furnished by various tiukesf, horns, fiddles, tin pans, and other instruments. Really this is a fact worthy of any school. . Someone said, A smile is indeed a ray of sunlight. Especially! is this true among our college boys and girls. In fact, nowhere in history even can a group be found to equal our students for having such marked smiles intheir voices. The malady passes from the smile stage into a broad grin and from hence into constant and brilliant conversation. Due to the fact that meeting, observing, the above tradition tknown as social- izingi, is met With such bitter opposition among the faculty, these must be held in all places available, at every opportunity-wn the corners, in the halls. down the walk, or just any old place. I must say the students really are faithful to this cause. As soon as one reaches our campus ground, he is attacked by that contagious disease known as the Hey! Fever. The first symptoms is a sickly grin, then there is a subdued uttering of the word, itHeyf, accom- panied by a sweet and simple smile. Later it develops into the extent that one standing on the first fioor may easily make it known to those on the third floor. With the exception of all day suckers, we have more ttheys on the campus than anything else. No one could help but like State College. Each year is begun with a get ac-mainted social. The new girls have no fe110Ws then, but rivalry soon begins, then things really get interestingegossip, gossip, gossip. As a result of this social contact many permanent friendships are formed which often merge into that matrimonial region of trolling pen life? Pep, why that hardly describes the quality in our students-When attacking food in the Cafeteria. One knows or learns to be careful and self-protective here.

Our tale has been told, perfect or imperfect as it may be. All that remains is to express our appreciation for those who labored with us to make THE RADIO for 1926 more than a passing thought. Our Faculty Advisory Board served us patiently and well. Bursar R. B. J . Campbell accepted the difficult position as treasurer. Prof. C. H. Harper and Prof. J . H. Alston gave us valuable advice whenever we were in need of guidance. Mrs. H. E. Hale kindly assisted us by supplying members of her department to typewrite our copy. We hesitate to think what kind of hodge-podge book THE RADIO might have been if Miss Frances E. Thompson had not shared her good taste in bringing to the designs graceful lines and artistic touches. Miss Mary Jackson Was of much assistance and inspiration in working with classes and clubs. To Miss Inez Boyd is due many thanks for correcting imperfections in phrasing, spelling, and punctuation. To Mrs. Martha Brown we are indebted for constructive criticism and the handling of our sales department. We can never fully express our deep appreciation for the toil and constructive work performed by Prof. Wm. Gilbert in setting the type and the mechanical arrangement. Especially do we regret that he is leaving us and we truly wish him God,s speed. We also wish to thank Mr. G. W. Gore for his various services in a constructive and in an advisory capacity.
