ALMA MATER lu the land of golden sunshine By the Cumberland's fertile shore, Stands a school for greatest service. One that we adore. Alma Mater, how we love thee! Love thy white and blue. May we strive to meet thy mandates With faith that’s true. Many conic to thee for knowledge. Come from Hast, North, South and West, For they know that thou doth offer Such a rich l c |iiest. Alma Mater, may all thy children Worship at thy shrine: May the God of nations bless thee With gifts divine! Send forth sons both trong and valiant. Send forth daughters wise and true, hilled with hope and dauntless courage. Motives sane and true. Alma Mater, kindly mother, Smile on Tennessee; May she lift her head toward heaven, Honor country, God and thee. —L. M. Avkrette, T8 DEDICATION During the early days of Tennessee State College several people made memorable contribui ions to those that were to follow. Two of the outstanding persons used their skills and produced our “Alma Mater.” In the land of golden sunshine by the Cumberland's fertile shore” is a | ortionof the lyric of the “Alma Mater written by Miss Laura M. A veret tc and set to music by Mr. Clarence I lavden Wilson. It is to these two persons who have presented in words and music the sincere feelings of hundreds of students that we gratefully dedicate this volume. Miss Latra Averette Miss I .aura M. Averette, English Profes- sor, has been a member of the faculty since 1920. Beside writing the lyrics to the Alma Mater.” she is the originator of the Children's Theater. A graduate of Shortridgc School of In- dianajMtlis, Indiana. Miss Averette received her Bachelor of Science degree at A. and I. State College. She earned the Master's degree at Columbia University. She has also done graduate work at the University of Chicago and Columbia University in Speech and Dramatics. At present she is in New York on a leave of absence working on the Doctor's degree at Columbia University. Mr. Clarence llaydeu 'il on. a Mudent in the early «lays of Tennessee State College, composed the beautiful music of the Alma Mater.” Mr. Wilson received a Bachelor of Music degree and a Master’s degree in music from the Northwestern University. Later he studied in Chicago under Mr. Charles Keep and Miss Abbie Mitchell. In the summer f 1936-37. he traveled in Kur � pe and studied I voice training under Mr. John I’ayne in London. At present. Mr. Wilson is President of The National Association of Negro Musi- cians. Inc., and a teacher in the St. 1 ouis public school system. Mr. Clarence Wilson DR. WALTER STROTHER DAVIS PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE Vke PneUdeeiti MeSAaae In the Lund of Golden Sunshine .... In the words and music of our Alma Mater we recapture the richness and beauty of an heritage of the youth of Tennessee in jxu ticular and of countless others who have chosen Tennessee State as their college. Memories will forever be brightened by the connotation of the words—bringing hack glimpses of never forgotten scenes, of stimulating messages, and of challenging occasions, there- by inciting within us that constant urge to achieve the best in life and tints bring honor to ourselves, our state, our nation and our God. As never before demands for preparedness and achievement are being made upon our American youth. Likewise this period in which we live calls for the superlative in accomplishment in order to maintain the American way of life. In keeping therewith the College is ever developing and expanding in all phases in an effort to assist the student in realizing these demands and fulfilling desired accomplishments. Mai the words and music of our Alma Mater and all else that is wholesome experience give rise to the high calling of personal growth to the end each makes his fullest contribution to the total development of the State and Nation and thus preserve our cherished heritage.

DIVISION OF EDUCATION ART The I )C| artment of Art offers courses in Art I Education, Art Histon ami some Drawing ami Painting. It also gives opportunity for experience in the lalioratorv where several of the crafts, which man has found l oth interesting and |x� rfitahlc, are studied. The Divisions of Home Economics and the Humanities use the services of the department to teach the arts related to their field. Color and Design. Costume Designs. House Planning, Home Furnishing and Stage Craft. Teachers organizations throughout the state use the services «if the dcpirtmeut to Continue their stud) of Art education and it trends of development. Services of the head of the depart- ment arc often required hy the State Department of Education to act as consultant in teacher study groups where problems concerning the State Education Program are studied. Students may major in Art Education so as to better understand child Art and to develop a phi- losophy aitout art which will enable them to l e- come 1 letter consumers and to encourage them to find that phase of art in which they too may express themselves. Students who study art should Ik able to do a better job of teaching in the public schools by lieing able to use art as an aid to motivation and expression. Art. as it i taught at A. and I., should help students in developing a way of life that is en- riching and satisfying. Lectures and visual aids give an overall view of the field of Art which helps the student to realize that art is not only for a few pople having a so called “gift” but it is for all |K-t ple. Some to learn how to contribute to it as architects, sculptors, painters, draughtsmen. Some to develop a skilled artisans in that vast field of the minor arts, and others, to learn the principles of art and their use in the development of gtKKl taste so a to become lietter consumers of the world's goods which will always Ik lK autiful or not Iteautiful according to the jieople’s taste. The department is expanding in jK rsound and is looking forward to excision in sjiacc and equipment. Progress is being made in the area of the Fine Arts to which we invite all students who like form and color and who are willing to undergo that discipline which will give, not only self reali- zation of a new kind of great satisfaction and happiness. It is modern” to know almut art. and thrifty and enjoyable to learn to do it.

The home economics instructors have devoted much time and thought to the completion of plan for a func- tional Home Management House which will soon l� c erected on our campus. We arc all eagerly looking forward to its construction. All of the modern present day feature for successful family living are emphasized in Our Dream House ami also included in our plans arc a vege- table and a flower garden. We anticipate real satisfying and enjoyable returns from these areas. Another step forward in our division i the renovation of the foods and clothing laboratories. Plans have lteen made for substituting unit kitchens for the out-moded facilities that now exist. These kitchen will be ade- quately equipped for an average family with interesting treatments of the interiors, employing the study of present- day trends in college foods laboratories including work shop areas for large quantity food preparation, serving and catering. The clothing lalniratory will also he given a face lifting. The modern equipment will enhance the productivity of the group as well as help develop skills in clothing construction. We realize that these renovations and structural projects arc a real challenge as well as an approach to realism, we whole-heartedly accept the challenge with vim, vigor and vitality. I Krause we know that these invest- ments will pay hv dividends as well as prepare our stu- dents thoroughly for their future work in the various home , communities and |x« ilions. Our food preparation classes arc gaining practical e. - l criciH e through the study of family food needs. Basic information is taught through the study of the individual food products with emphasis placed on the principles of cookery. These foods are combined in suitable meals for family service. dditional practice in food preparation i obtained through extra food preparation by individual students as- sisting with some f the special occasion activities of the college, and through daily preparation of dishes suitable to Ik- Used for the nursery school dinner. A new plan for the requisitioning of food supplies is providing the stu- dents with valuable marketing experience . New equipment that i constantly coming in i licing placed for use. The operation and care of utensil ami equipment being added to the division provides an addi- tional experience of great value. The Clothing Department is placing special emphasis on its clothing clinic this year. In times like these, when our fashion transitions are so sudden, milady must learn how to make alteration in her out-moded garments. All students in the college arc invited to enroll. The young women arc perfecting valuable skills in clothing construction from childrens clothes t«� woolen tailored suit , from kitchen curtains to formal draperies. In Textiles the students are learning something of the source, characteristics and processes involved in the man- ufacturing of fabrics. Visits to department stores and speciality shop demonstrate a great need for knowledge of terms and interpretations of textile fabrics for l oth dress and home furnishings. Activities in the home economics education detriment arc primarily centered around the training of prospective vocational home economics teachers in the high schools of the state. In an effort to provide a broad teaching experience for prospective home economics teachers, seven high schools in different section of the state arc used a student-leaching centers. Prospective teachers sjk-iuI six weeks teaching and liv- ing in the communities of these off-campus centers. Dur- ing this period opportunities arc provided for them to understand tlu total school and hnnicmaking programs; to study the community and its problems; to collaborate with other jversons in thinking ; choosing; planning and acting on problems i« reach group goals and individual goals. This experience i carefully supervised by selected hoinentakiug teachers who have experienced many suc- cessful years of teaching and the resident-teacher trainer in home economics education from the College. Training for in-service teachers is provided through special courses, group conferences, work shop and visits hv the State Itinerant teacher-trainer. Teachers are en- couraged t« use the best approved methods of teaching— adapting them to suit the particular groups and condi- tions in their communities. The State Itinerant teacher-trainer also serves as State Adviser to the New Homemakers of America- an or- ganization of Junior and Senior High school pupil enrolled in Home Economics. Every wide-awake High school home co nomics department lias a chapter of New I loiucmakcr . These chapters meet together several times a year in District Meetings, one State Convention, and delegates arc soil to the National Convention. The home economics education dqvartment includes in its pre-service training, methods to he used in organizing and maintaining active chapters of New Homemakers, and acquaints prospective teachers with the duties and responsibilities connected with Ivciug good chapter ad- visers. This organization i not cx'.ra-curicular hut is an integral part of the home economics program. The curriculum in child development provides a won- derful opportunity for directed observation in the Nursery school. The students gain (1) an understanding of how jKTsonal and social habits and attitudes have their lo- ginning in the child; (2) an appreciation of the im- IHirtance of intelligent guidance in habit and attitude formation that will lie in the liest interest of the child's development. They arc able to correlate the practical with the theoretical assets of child development and family life. The students arc able to observe and parti- cipate in the feeding, preparation of food, toileting, play- ing. dressing, and the general routine that is followed from day to day. Our program not only provides training for prospective home economics teachers, but also for the training of homemakers. Together we strive to have better homes today which help to build a better world of tomorrow.

Sigma Gamma Rho, was conceived in the dream of Mary Lou Allison Gardner who, with six other Indianapolis school teachers organized themselves on November 12. 1922. For some time they worked as an incorporated Teachers' Sorority but feeding the need of another organization to further the cause of higher education among college women, Sigma Gamma Kho became an incori� orated col- legiate sorority on December AO. 1929. Alpha Beta Chapter oi Sigma Gamma Kho Sorority was the first collegiate sorority to I organized on Ten- nessee A. and 1. State College campus on February 9. 1931. with 14 young women who pledged themselves to live by the principles of the organization. This chapter lias grown each year and talents have been dcvclujtcd as social workers, teachers, educational supervisors, lawyers and musicians. Many others are holding high the stand- aril of lietter womanhood. With a slogan of “Greater Service. Greater Prosper- ity, this organization has spread t«• other colleges and cities until now there are 92 chapters of Sigma Gamma Kho Sorority scattered throughout the United States from Maine to Florida, from New York to California, and from the Great l.akes to the Gulf of Mexico. Sigma’s National project “The Teen-Town. an innovation of our Grand Basilcus Kthcl Smith, as designed to aid Negro youth, has done much to curve juvenile delinquency.
