EUGENE M. KAYDEN PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS DEDICATION On June 14, 1954, the thirtieth senior class that has had the opportunity of being taught by Professor Eugene M. Kayden will graduate. It was in the Fall of 1924 when Mr. Kayden left his job as consulting economist with the Department of Agriculture to come to Sewanee. Through the years his learning, his library, his friendship, and his faith have become as much a part of the Mountain as Breslin Tower. Mr. Kayden received his A.B. from the University of Colorado in 1912. He was a fellow in economics at Har- vard in 1912 and, after completing two years work in one, received his M.A. in I 9 I 3. In 1913 and 1 9 1 4 he was a fellow at Princeton, where he completed all work for a Ph.D. in economics. He then did graduate work at Columbia in 1916-17, completing all work for a Ph.D. in English literature. In 1 9 I 7 he was awarded a traveling fellowship to Oxford and Cambridge but was un- able to take it because of the war. Mr. Kayden then went to Washington as an Economist and Trade Expert on the War Trade Board, later serving with the Departments of State and Agriculture. He has taught at Columbia, Pennsylvania State, and Yale. He is a fellow of the Royal Economic Society and the Social Science Research Council. His writings include The Co- operative Movement in Russia During the War, The Economics of Farm Relief, and numerous contributions to encyclopedias and periodicals on economics and Russian literature. Ever since he has been at Sewanee, Mr. Kayden has served on important committee posts, as assistant editor of the Sewanee Review, and in keeping Sewanee ' s social science department up to date in education. His cultural interests never cease to amaze his stu- dents, and his devotion to the meaning of Sewanee is equally as deep. His philosophy is best summed up in the concluding words of his Founders ' Day address in I 950: Gentlemen of Sewanee, here and everywhere, we are the frontiers. We are the new torch-bearers. We are the map-makers. We are the builders. We are the voice. We are history. And history is always now. Ir.

BLAND MITCHELL THE CHANCELLOR The Right Reverend R. Bland Mitchell, Bishop of the Diocese of Arkansas, was elected in 1950 to a six year term as Chan- cellor of the University of the South. Bishop Mitchell received his B.A., B.D., and D.D. degrees from the University of the South and has served as a member of the Board of Trustees, the Board of Regents, and as Direc- tor of Missions.

VICE-CHANCELLOR On October 10, 1952, Dr. Edward McCrady, by donning the scarlet and ermine robes of office, became the eleventh Vice-Chancellor and executive President of the University of the South. Dr. McCrady re- ceived his B.A. degree from the College of Charleston, his M.S. from the University of Pittsburgh, and his Ph.D. from the University of Penn- sylvania. This office requires both a magnanimous understanding and diversifi- cation of interests. Dr. McCrady has an abundance of both, being, among other things, an outstanding scholar and an excellent artist. W -. - Seated: Longino, Williams, McCrady, Mitchell; standing: Woods.

An unforgettable profile, a pidgeon-toed walk, a distinctive Pennsylvania brogue — those are things that we remember about Johnny Allen. But more than those we remember his individuality, his ability to be the life of a party, and his laugh- ing disposition, which seemed to make those around him feel happy too. He was self-conscious about what people thought of him and had plenty of friends to show for it. We remember Johnny, too, as a Sewanee Gentleman in the real sense. He added something great to everyone ' s life at Sewanee, and it will be a long time before he is forgotten. Yes, he was quite a guy ... . Roger Abel Richard Adams. Jr. Henry Arnold.

The life of Henry Markley Gass was dedicated to building and refining both. Sewanee ' s first Rhodes Scholar returned to the Mountain in 1910 to begin forty-three years of consecrated service, first as teacher in SMA and the University, later as Dean of Men, and finally as acting Vice-Chancellor. The embodiment of the classical culture with the Christian Spirit was the Major ' s ideal— an ideal transmitted to the many who have been privileged to know and to love him. Able administrator, academician, and teacher, Major Gass was part of the Sewanee Spirit, ever fostering and seeking for the realization of the Kingdom of God, which is the kingdom of love, as interpreted in the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. 52 N M E M R I A RUTH MARVIN HALE 1901-1953 Miss Ruth Marvin Hale, matron of Powhatan Hall, died Saturday, November 7, 1953, following an extended illness. Miss Ruth, as she was affectionately known by Sewanee students, was born at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and was educated at Franklin, Louisiana. Miss Ruth received nurses training at Touro Infirmary, New Orleans, and, during World War II, was a captain in the Army Nurse Corps. She returned to Sewanee in 1948 to become matron of Powhatan Hall, former home of her grand- father, General Kirby-Smith. It has been said that a person ' s greatness is measured by his contributions to life. It is fitting, then, that the grace and nobility with which Miss Ruth lived her life and enriched the lives of others render a finer memorial to her greatness than can any words or deeds of man. ft • ♦- i ,- r- w 1 ' SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY FORD OAKLAND CROSS ■ciate Professor of Philoso- y of Religion and Ethics , University of Illinois; A , Columbia University.

Separate from the College of Arts and Sciences, it has its own dean and faculty, who handle most of the school ' s affairs. Readjustment following the recent controversy has been splendidly ac- complished, with the students and new faculty cooperating to maintain the high academic standards for which the school is noted. With an increase in enrollment, the addition and enlargement of facilities, and the continually rising financial support, 1954 has been a good year. THE REV. GEORGE B.

Second Semeste THE ORDER OF GOWNSMEN The gown is probably the most prominent external evidence of the ties between Sewanee and Oxford. Since I 873, the gown has been worn by all juniors, seniors, and special students who have passed the required number of hours. The Order of Gowns- men, composed of all men who wear the gown, has grown until it is now the governing body of the College of Arts and Sciences, and as such is unique among college groups. Gownsmen carrying a 2.65 average into a semester have unlimited cuts until mid-semester, when they are granted unlimiteds in all subjects in which they have a B average. All student committees derive their charters from this organization. Among the more important committees are the Executive Committee, the Ring Committee, and the Discipline Committee. The Executive Committee is made up of the President, the Vice-President, and the Secretary of the Order, in addition to one representative from each fraternity, and one non-fraternity man. This group meets once a month to organize the activities of the Order as a whole. The Rinq Committee supervises the selling of class rings, and the Discipline Committee deals with infractions of the freshman rules. As the Vice-Chancellor says during the Serv- ice of Investiture, held each year on Founders ' Day, the gown is truly a symbol of that high and pure learning which is the ideal of the University.

The all-pervasiveness of the Honor System is one of the ideas first impressed upon entering students. When each new man registers, he is given an opportunity to sign the Honor Code. When he does so, he promises not to violate that Code in any way during his years at Sewanee. This Honor Code lays a foundation for high character and in- tegrity; no word in the Sewanee man ' s vocabulary is more important than Honor. It is the Honor Council ' s duty to try any alleged infractions of the Code. When such a case is presented to the Council, its members study the facts carefully and decide whether or not the Code has actually been violated. If it has, they recommend that the offender be requested to withdraw from school. The trust placed in the Honor Council, then, can hardly be exaggerated. Its membership consists of two seniors, two juniors, one sopho- more, one freshman, and three theological students, elected annually by their respective classes. Of all Sewanee s tra- ditions and customs, there is none of more importance than the Honor System. Without an efficient Honor Council insuring the effectiveness of the Honor Code, Sewanee would not be the Sewanee that is known today. The Honor Council meets only when there is a case to be presented to it; that it meets so seldom is a credit to the University. 64 The governing body of all Sewanee publications is the Publications Board. Headed by the editor of the Sewanee Review, Dr. Monroe K. Spears, the Board meets on the first Wednesday of each month to review the University publications. The Board is made up of three members of the University faculty, one of the St. Luke ' s faculty, two University students, and one theological student. This is the first year in which a theological student has been included on the Board. The editors and business managers of the Purple, CAP AND GOWN, and Mountain Goat have voice but no vote. The Publications Board has three main purposes: first, to approve the nominations of editors and business managers; second, to advise the editors; and third, to supervise the allocation of publications funds. Action has been taken in all three fields during 53-54. The first function was exercised during elections in the spring. The chief manifestation of the second has been the reor- ganization of the Mountain Goat, with the division of humor and Helikon editions. As for the third, much prog- ress has been made due to the consolidated activities fee included in the tuition. This fee has given the Board more money with which to work, and has resulted in better pub- lications. In short, the Publications Board keeps Sewanee ' s publications running smoothly, with an eye to their im- provement. PUBLICATIONS BOARD DR. MONROE K.

WOOD Business Manager THE 1954 CAP A yearbook is a living organism, an organism which ex- ists in the lives of each student during his college career: but even more important, it is an organism which engenders itself to the alumnus as he looks back on college life. Born during the summer of 1 953, the CAP AND GOWN began its growth with the beginning of schocl in Septem- ber. As each eventful day passed, it took on new forms. new faces, new finances. Through the untiring efforts of an ambitious staff, both editorial and business, and with the aid of a cooperative student body, the CAP AND GOWN steadily grew. It was not, however, until the day of its de- livery in the spring that the book reached maturity. But its value does not stop here: it continues to grow each time that a forgotten event is recollected, a familiar face is remembered, or the cherished tradition of Sewanee is recalled.

D ' ALEMBERTE Business Manager S E W A N E E There is no factor more important in unifying a stu- dent body than the college newspaper. When led by a good paper, the student body becomes more than an aggregation of individuals with conflicting interests. The paper shows up those factors which need improvement, prompts student action, and gives credit where credit is due. On the Mountain, the Sewanee Purple capably performs all of these functions. Tommy Williams, the edi- tor of the ' 53-54 Purple, has continued the high quality paper put out by his predecessors. He has been fortu- nate in having an experienced staff with which to work, as has business manager Sandy D Alemberte. The three mortal sins of college journalism have been said to be procrastination, exaggeration, and stagnation. Editor Wil- liams has waged a year-long war against all three. Dead- lines have been met whenever possible, and extra work has not been spared in getting the Purple ready for its Wednesday night circulation. There have been a few scattered cries of exaggeration concerning the Purple editorials and columns, but it can be shown that any ar- ticle drawing such criticism was trying to have some de- fect corrected. The changing of the body type style to conform as closely as possible with the style set down in the Associated Press style book of 1953 was the first of a series of moves to keep the Purple from stagnating. The presentation of Purple keys dates back to 1927. These keys are presented to those students who during the year have made outstanding contributions to Sewa- nee ' s publications. Last year, the ' 52-53 Purple earned Sewanee ' s second consecutive All-American award from the National Collegiate Press Association. There is no reason why this year ' s high-quality publication should not win a third such award. NEWS STAFF Seated: Ouarteri MAKE-UP. COPY. AND PROOF STAFFS Seated: Glass. Standing: Creveling. Smith.

U N T A I N The MOUNTAIN GOAT, under the editorship of Bill Prentiss, this year pushed a little further on the road back from its wartime oblivion. Of the three issues which were published, the first one, appearing in November, was a completely humorous magazine. Editor Prentiss ' s plans called for another humorous edition during the second semester, and a serious literary edition sometime during the year. The business staff was headed by manager Phil Whitaker. The MOUNTAIN GOAT is the latest in a series of publications which dates back to 1872, when the UNI- VERSITY RECORD, a monthly magazine-newspaper, first appeared. During all the early development of journalism at Sewanee, there was never a humor magazine. This need was filled in 1925 with the publication of the MOUNTAIN GOAT, a magazine named for the daily train up the Mountain from Cowan. The first few years were a struggle, but by the 1930s the GOAT was well-established. For many years, the GOAT staff was elected by Scpherim. The magazine remained the same high-quality publication until World War II, when its publication was discontinued. After the war, HELIKON, a more serious magazine, was established as the literary outlet for Sopherim. It flourished for several years, and in 1951 was absorbed by the revived MOUNTAIN GOAT. Since then, the GOAT has gradually been rebuilding its prestige, and this year ' s editions have done much to achieve that end. All editions since 1951 had been combinations of MOUNTAIN GOAT and HELI- KON influences, but this system proved ineffective, so editor Prentiss split the influences into two definite branch- es, with two editions for the more popular humorous as- pect, and one edition for the serious branch. This arrange- ment has shown definite advantages, and will probably be continued. EDITORIAL STAFF Sealed: Griffin, Nunnally. Standing: Arnold, Hughes, Snelling, Gulsell. While. Plattenburg.

Lewis Lee Leonard Trawick Charles Lindsay Webb White Joe McGrory Thomas Williams Membership in Phi Beta Kappa has long been recognized as the highest scholastic honor available to men in college. That Phi Beta Kappa was the first social fraternity in this country is not so widely known. It was organ- ized in 1776 at William and Mary College, and for the next fifty years remained a social fraternity. In 1826 it changed to its present form as an honorary scholastic fraternity. Tennessee Beta, the Sewanee chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, was established in 1926. The requirements for member- ship are a 3.50 average for 75 hours or a 3.25 average for 105 hours. Candidates with the required average are automatically voted into the society by the active members. Phi Beta Kappa is not solely an under- graduate group. Consequently, faculty members play a large part in the activities of the organization, and provision is made for the election of alumni or faculty members who have given outstanding service to the scholastic reputation of the college. The chief activity of Tennessee Beta is the annual initiation of new members. The first phase of this ceremony is the formal initiation. The other is a banquet, including the Phi Beta Kap- pa oration, given each year by an outstanding speaker. Since this initia- tion is the high point of many college careers, it is fitting that the cere- mony should be such a memorable one. M I C R N DELTA KAPPA Omicron Delta Kappa holds the same position with respect to extra- curricular activities that Phi Beta Kappa holds with respect to scholarship. Membership in the Alpha Alpha circle, Sewanee ' s chapter, is limited to three per cent of the student body. These men are chosen from the Order of Gownsmen. A point system is used as a basis for choosing members, but the character and scholastic achievements of the candidate are also taken into account. Omicron Delta Kappa was organized at Washington and Lee on December 3, 1914, and the Alpha Alpha circle was granted its charter in 1929. The purposes of the organization are three: to recognize the ability and character of those men who have shown themselves outstanding leaders, and to inspire others along similar lines; second, to bring together the outstanding campus leaders in all fields, creating a cross-section of campus interests; and third, to allow these students to discuss student problems with the members of the faculty. The third purpose is perhaps the most important, since these discussions give the students and faculty members a clearer view of each others problems and attitudes. This student-faculty understanding is an important segment of Sewanee ' s heritage. 89 First Row: Second Row: H.T. D ' Alemberte, James Reaney, Gilbert Dent, Gordon Sorrell, Robert Jackson.

Many fall activities started the year off on the right foot. The group sponsored the drive to raise money for the lunch fund of the colored children of the Sewanee schools. Blue Key sponsored the contest for Homecoming Queen, and later supervised the Intramural All-Star Football game. During the winter, the Sewanee radio programs were revived. From January on, these programs were heard regularly. Late in the winter, the annual debate tournament was held. In the spring, the Blue Key Interfraternity Sing was again a success. Plans were being made to present a variety show sometime near the end of school. Other Blue Key activities lasted throughout the year. Candy machines in the dormitories were supervised by the group. Members ushered at all the University functions, and in the Chapel. In conjunction with the Student Vestry, Blue Key members read the lesson at Thursday Chapel services. The organization was formed at the University in Florida in 1924, and the next year became a national service and leadership fraternity. Members are chosen on the basis of what they have done and can do to further the progress and best interests of the University. Men are tapped for membership in Blue Key at the Thanksgiving and Spring Germans. W H O ' S W H IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES Seated: Jackson, McWhirter, Lindsay. Sorrell, Dent. Standing: Reaney. Davis. Woods, Wood, Pugh, Smith. The Executive Committee of the Order of Gownsmen annually selects the outstanding sen- iors in the University for inclusion in Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities. The quali- fications for inclusion are leadership, scholarship, and service, but those characteristics are made up of important secondary traits, such as initiative, intelligence, personality, and willingness to work. Thus, the inclusion of a Sewanee man in Who ' s Who is essentially a recognition of the ability he has shown during his years at the University of the South. Inclusion is more than a local honor, for Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Univer- sities includes each year the outstanding students from over six hundred colleges and universities in this country and Canada. Academic work, extra- curricular activities, and service to college or uni- versity are all taken into consideration, so that the publication represents a cross-section of campus leaders in all phases of collegiate life. The idea of being listed in this volume may serve as an incen- tive to scholarship and service. The eleven Se- wanee men included this year are Cliff Davis, Gil Dent, Bobby Jackson, Charley Lindsay, John Mc- Whirter, Joe Pugh, Jim Reaney, Bill Smith, Gor- don Sorrell, Leonard Wood, and John Woods. PROCTORS First row: Jackson, Lindsay (Head Proctor), Baker, Boult. Second row: Clarke, Hood, Millar, Davis. Third row: Augsburger, Smith, Key- ser, Corbin. Each year, the retiring proctors make recommendations to the Administration concerning proctors for the next school year. From this group, the Vice-Chancellor appoints those men who will serve. There is one proctor in each dormitory, except in Barton and Gailor Halls, which have two each. The proctors are the Administra- tion ' s dormitory representatives. As such, they form a necessary link between stu- dents and administration. They enforce the University rules, and iron out those minor daily problems which continually occur in a dormitory housing from forty to eighty Sewanee men. Since the job entails so much responsibility, only the most reliable, competent, and conscientious men are chosen. Appointment to be a proctor, then, is one of the highest honors which the Administration can bestow on a student. Appointment to be the Head Proctor is the highest such honor ob- tainable at Sewanee. Although the proctors are in charge of the dormitories, their duties and responsibilities do not end there. On the contrary, those duties extend to all parts of the campus. The proctors keep order and supervise activities in the dining hall and in the Chapel. They also have the indirect, intangible effect of forming a group of Sewanee men which can be looked up to by the rest of the students. This year, Charles Lindsay served as Head Proctor. He and Bill Kalmbach were proctors in Gailor Hall. In Barton Hall were Dick Corbin and John Boult; in Cannon Hall, Bill Smith; in Hoffman Hall, Gene Baker; in Johnson Hall. Bobby Jackson; in Powhatan Hall, Bill Millar; in Elliott Hall, Cliff Davis; in Tuckaway Inn. Bill Hood; in Selden Hall, Hal Clarke; in St. Luke ' s Hall, Charles Keyser; and in Woodland, Andrew Augsburger. When Hunter Hall opened, Clarke became its proctor, and Selden Hall was closed. CHOIR Foreground: Mr. McConnell; tirst row: Compton, Pierce, Chapel, Boyles. Farrimond, Jowett, Stevens, Wright, Hall; second row: Stoneham Bradner, Ware, Worrall, Noe, Marssdorf, Banks, Viner; third row: McAllister, McGrory. Barrett, Rucker, Ouattlebaum. Fleming, Markham, Arnold. At the beginning of the year, the Vice-Chancellor en- couraged all those students capable of singing in the Choir to do so. The result was a much better Choir than had been anticipated. Performance during ' 52-53 had slipped a bit, but in ' 53- ' 54 the Choir came close to the quality of the Choirs of several years ago. There are few groups more active than this one. The Choir leads the singing in daily Chapel services and on Sun- days. The Sunday anthems are always well done. The Choir prepares for these services by practicing on Mon- day and Thursday nights under the experienced, meticu- lous direction of Mr. Paul McConnell, who also serves as organist. Special programs, requiring months of prepara- tion, are presented before Christmas, during Holy Week, and at commencement. The history of the Choir, of course, goes back almost as far as does that of Sewanee, but 1939 is an especially significant year. The University Glee Club had at one time been the best in the South, but the depression cancelled its trips, and by 1939 stu- dent interest had lessened considerably. In that year it was absorbed by the Choir. Since then, the Choir has made great progress, until now it is one of the few choirs in the country privileged to provide the music for the Church of the Air, a feature of the Columbia Broadcasting System. Crucifer leads choir in procession in daily chapel. GREEN RIBBON w W. B. PORTER W. D.TYNES W. H. SMITH G. P. EYLER C. M. LINDSAY T. J.LUNDY E. L.BROWNING B. F. CAMERON C. E. CHESTON J. M.GRIMES I. H.

Purple Masque was faced at the beginning of this year with unprecedented apathy toward dramatics on the part of the student body. This year ' s productions have done much to overcome this feeling, and the outlook is now con- siderably brighter than it was at this time last year. The first play presented in ' 53- ' 54 was the domestic comedy Bird in Hand, ' ' by John Drinkwater. Director Brinley J. Rhys, who returned to the Mountain last fall after a year ' s absence, had the cast admirably trained, setting a prece- dent which following shows maintained. Plans for the future included two more productions, one of them a musical in conjunction with the Choir, and the other a serious drama- tic effort. The players also were determined to present Everyman on Maundy Thursday, reviving a Sewanee tradition which had been allowed to lapse. Purple Masque membership is based on a point system, but all of the re- quired twenty-five points cannot be accrued by acting. The maximum of fifteen points for participation in one play in- sures that members have a permanent interest in the organ- ization. Since its reorganization in 1946, Purple Masque has pursued its objectives of creating interest in dramatics on the campus, and maintaining an excellence of student production. Membership has grown steadily, and, although student interest in the past has not been all it should, it is now on the rise. Below: Scene from the operetta The Village Barber.

GERMAN CLUB As long as there are Sewanee Weekends, the German Club will provide their high- lights. This year has been no exception, for the Club has sponsored a series of fine dances. The year started with the Fireball Dance at Homecoming, featuring a fireball that just wouldn ' t fire, and the music of the Auburn Knights. Next came the even bigger Thanks- giving Set, with all the usual excitement. The Ribbon Societies were seen for the first time, and the first Blue Key tap of the year added to the festivities. Owen Bradley s mu- sic and the intermission entertainment of the Rebel Yells quartet brought enjoyment to all who attended. The Midwinter and Commencement Sets kept up this tradition of out- standing dances, as did the Cadet Club Ball in the Spring. The trend this year was to lower-cost dances, with the students getting the benefit of the drop in cost. Presidents Cliff Davis and George Plattenburg give much of the credit for the fine dances of 53- 54 to Sefior Cromer, the faculty sponsor, and to John Kennerly, for his help both in dec- orating and in undecorating after dances.

This is the third year in the life of the- Sewanee Unit of the Air Force Reserve Officers ' Training Corps. In each year, the Corps has shown great improvement in ail respects, and is now a smoothly func- tioning organization, run largely by student officers. The- chief officers are the group commander, with the rank of cadet lieutenant colonel, and his staff. They plan the operations of the outfit as a whole, in accordance with general orders issued by Air University, which controls the national AFROTC program. First and second year men attend class twice- a week: juniors and seniors have five classes a week. All cadets drill on Wednesdays, and, during certain periods, o.ie other afternoon a week. Another important group Is the- Cadet Club, composed of one member from each ROTC section, plus officers elected by the Corps as a whole. The Cadet Club plans all Corps activities other than the formal training ones. The- major such event is the annua Military Ball, in the spring. This dance takes the place of the German Club spring formal formerly held on that date, and is the only major CADET CLUB OFFICERS Whitaker (Treasurer); McCrady {Secretary}; Woods (President)- Massey (Vi President). - «. r rum, e RESERVE • OFFICERS -TRAINING CORPS s AF ROTC STAFF First row: Captain Perry; Colonel Gilland; Major Raddin; Lieutenanl Abbott.

Within the Corps itself, there are several honorary organizations. The Distinguished Cadets are those advanced cadets who have ful- filled certain scholastic and military requirements. Sewanee ' s chapter of the Arnold Air Society, national honorary AFROTC organization, is named for Brigadier General Matthew K. Deichelmann, Commandant of the nation-wide Air Force ROTC program. General Deichelmann ' s son is a cadet at the Sewanee Military Academy. The members re advanced cadets who show exceptional interest in the Air Force and in the ROTC program. The Elite Flight, a unit specializing in fancy drill, is another branch of the Corps of Cadets. The Flight performed this year at football games, and represented Sewanee at the Tennessee Forest Festival. The cadet day room, in the rear of Palmetto, affords a place for relaxation and recreation. The cadet rifle team has fired successfully in several matches during the year. The Corps of Cadets has contributed a great deal to the atmos- phere on the Mountain. Students who would otherwise be subject to the draft have been granted deferments. Some students graduate with commissions in the USAF. By giving to all ROTC students a basic Icnowle-dge of military training and national objectives, the ROTC fulfills its duty to the University, to the Air Force, and to the nation.

Sewanee ' s AF ROTC Band completes its third year of existence this year. Concerts both at home and away, the annual four-day trip to the New Orleans Mardi Gras to lead the Rex Parade — all in addition to the bi-weekly per- formances on the drillfield — keep the Band busy through- out the year. This year under the direction of Mr. Adrian Cherry, assistant professor of French, the Band was again commanded by Cadet Major Prentiss. Parade activities in- cluded participation in Tracy City, Chattanooga, Cowan, Winchester, and New Orleans. Increasing in size each year of its development, the Band is rapidly approaching a sizeable organization and includes both ROTC students and non-ROTC students, thus per- forming the function of a University Band as well as the AF ROTC Band. Although young and lacking experience and equipment, the Band shows promises that in the future it will compare favorably with any college band in the South. AF ROTC Band on parado in Tracy City.

Members of Tennessee Beta Chapter of ihe National Social Science Honor Society are elected from those students who have a 8 average for twenty hours in political science, history, and economics, and have shown definite interest in the field of social science. Dr. Thorogood is the group ' s ad- visor, and faculty members of the three de- partments are automatic members. Meet- ings are held once a month. Outstanding meetings this year were those conducted by Mr. O. S. Wesson, who explained the work- ings of TVA, and by Dr. Lancaster, who led a forum concerning the present Republican administration. An open meeting in the spring took the form of a debate on Mc- Carthyism. Pi Gamma Mu now has more than one hundred active chapters. This newcomer among campus organiza- tions offers a base for operations to those students or faculty members who are inter- ested in the out-of-doors. The Outing Club members take advantage of the Sewanee forest in their hiking, camping, and other projects. These projects include trail build- ing, maintaining the University pavilion, and sponsoring the freshman orientation hike at the beginning of the fall semester. During the year, many expeditions have been made by Club members. Those attended by a large proportion of the membership have been to Lost Cove Cave, Higgenbotham Cave, and Far Chalybeate Spring. In gen- eral, it may be said that the purpose of the Outing Club is to make more easily avail- able the natural and scenic resources of this region. OUTING CLUB 101 STUDENT VESTRY The Student Vestry has had an excep- tionally active year. It has worked faithfully with the Chaplain, expressing the needs and wishes of the students, and acting as an advisory council for him. As in the past, the Vestry has supervised the use of Chap- el offerings. Outside projects, other than the standard duties of the Vestry, have been numerous. Since November, a series of lectures has been presented under the auspices of the Vestry. In Advent, the Cor- porate Communion for Men and Boys of the Episcopal Church was celebrated. A Religious Emphasis Week in December proved quite successful. The Vestry again this year worked with Blue Key in having members of the two organizations read the lesson at Thursday Chapel services. By providing five trained servers daily for the three Chapel services, the All Saints ' Acolyte Guild fulfills its double duty of keeping the services running smoothly and of giving the Acolytes themselves val- uable experience in church work. The ap- proximately forty men who make up the organization, a small percentage of the student enrollment, do far more than their proportional share in forwarding the work of the Church at Sewanee. Besides actually helping with Chapel services, the All Saints ' Acolyte Guild sponsors several welfare projects. Among these projects are the milk fund drive, the money from which is used to buy milk for the children in the colored schools, and the Christmas party for the colored children of St. Mark ' s Church.

ACOLYTE GUILD 102 DEBATE COUNCIL Membership in the Debate Council is an award for excellence in debate. The Coun- cil acts as the organizing body for Univer- sity debates, especially the Sewanee Pre- Season Invitational Tournament. The Coun- cil this year prepared and sent teams to the Tennessee State Tournament and to several national tournaments. Another speech or- ganization was reorganized on the Mountain this year. Pi Kappa Delta flourished until two years ago at Sewanee, but lapsed due to lack of interest. It is an honorary society for excellence in forensics, including debate, impromptu speaking, and similar categories. Since its activities include a wider section of campus life than do those of the Debate Council, it is felt that the two organizations will not interfere with each other. Sopherim was organized in 1905, and the next year became the mother chapter of Sigma Upsilon national literary fraternity. Twice a year Sopherim asks prospective members to submit manuscripts. These sub- missions may be poetry, drama, translation, fiction, or non-fiction. The members then re- view the manuscripts, and, if sufficient talent is shown in them, the authors are admitted to Sopherim. At the meetings of Sopherim, there is a speech and accompanying dis- cussion on some phase of literature. At every third meeting, members read their own com- positions. The high point of the ' 53-54 activities came in March, at the annual open meeting of the organization. The speaker was Frances Fergusson, perhaps the leading drama critic and authority on Dante of the day. D ' Alemberte (President), Thagard. Davis. Lee. Brice.

In the five years since its founding, the Sewanee Music Club has done much to further the musical education and appre- ciation of its members by exchange of knowledge and talent, and to stimulate a deeper understanding cf music among Sewanee students and residents. This yea ' . M ' s. David Collins presented the first of a successful series of monthly concerts. The Music Club also, for the third straight year, sponsored the Sewanee concert series. This year plans to bring back the po ula Don Cossacks Chorus proved fruitless, but the concerts which were presented proved quite enioyablo. The Music Club s faculty advisor is Dr. Buck. Jim Reaney was first semester president, and Frank Bozeman served during the second semester as presi- dent. Jackson. Lindsay, Teskey (President), All non-fraternity men on the Mountain make up the Independent Men ' s Association. These men elect an executive committee to coordinate the activities of the group. Teams of Independents have always partic- ipated in intramural sports, but until recent- ly there was no actual organization of inde- pendent men. The Association was formed, and a clubroom was furnished in Magnolia Hall. This clubroom is constantly in use. and has been the site of some exceptionally fine parties, especially on dance weekends. The executive committee keeps the Independents more in touch with University activities, such as the Blue Key Sing. The Independent Men s Association helps bring together those men who are either unable or unwilling to join a fraternity, and increases their enjoyment of Sewanee life. NDEPENDENT MEN ' S ASSOCIATION ALPHA PSI OMEGA Mr. Rhys (faculty advisor), Wright, Bierhaus (President), Prentiss. The Beta Tau Cast of Alpha Psi Omega is composed of the elder statesmen of Se- wanee dramatic activities. Membership is limited to fifteen members of the Purple Masque. The Sewanee chapter of this largest of the honorary dramatic fraternities was founded in 1929, and reorganized in 1937. To be eligible for election into Alpha Psi Omega, a man must excel in some aspect of the Purple Masque productions. This group of outstanding men in the field then forms a reservoir of talent. Alpha Psi Omega mem- bers sometimes help with the direction and promotion of plays as well as acting in them. Their know ' edge thus aids the less experi- enced members of the Purple Masque and helps build up the group as a whole. Sewanee has been ble;sed in a negative sort of way, at the time of this writinq, by a lack of fires. However, should the bug break loose once more, the Sewanee Volun- teer Fire Department will be ready for him. Originally under the direction of Blue Key, the SVFD was reorganized in 1 95 I . It is made up solely of student volunteers, who meet one Friday a month. In addition to this meet- ing, there are two daylight drills and one night drill each month. The excellent equip- ment furnished by the University is kept in continual readiness, so that the group will be prepared to deal with any type of fire at any time. The SVFD ' s sense of responsibility and preparedness merit recognition. Kneeling: Marssdorf, Farrimond. Standing: Noe. Martin. Winn (chief). Serodino. Jowett. Haines. Mankin. VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT 105 REBEL YELLS Last year, the Mountain Toppers, organ- ized by John Broome, brought Barbershop harmony to the Mountain. The tradition which they established has been upheld during this school year by the Rebel Yells quartet. First tenor Broome, second tenor Joe McAllister, baritone Stan Jenkins, and bass Chuck Kneeland have been reproduc- ing the melodies of the Gay Nineties to- gether since early October. The sometimes strange but always melodic chords pro- duced by this foursome have been enjoyed by audiences wherever they have been heard. Trips have included visits to Chat- tanooga, Nashville, and regional alumni meetings. Because of a lack of time for practice, the Rebel Yells were forced to turn down an invitation to sing in Wash- ington, D. C, at the National Barbershop Quartet Parade. The Highlanders say that their purpose is to increase and disseminate appreciation of Scottish customs and institutions among the student body. Before this year, meet- ings of the clan were held in Monteagle, but it was felt that the students were not be- coming fully aware of the Scottish customs and institutions, so during ' 53-54 gather- ings were held in the various fraternity houses. The clan was reunited for the first time last fall during Homecoming weekend, when the customary festivities occurred at the Beta house. At Thanksgiving, the cele- bration took place in the ATO house. Later meetings moved from house to house and to inconspicuous places on the domain. Mem- bership in the Highlanders is limited to four men from each fraternity. Broome McAllister. Jenkins, Kneeland. First row: Griffith. Morris, Pope, Broome (Laird). Boxeman.

This year was an exception, and the party was even more successful than usual. The sombrero and serape were very much in evidence at the many other gatherings of the Spaniards. All members must either have taken Spanish or be taking it at the time of initiation. Since their founding in 1 948, Los Peones have said that their purposes are to increase profic- iency in conversational Spanish, promote amiability among the campus students, and study the social customs of Spain. It must be admitted that they have done an admirable job, at least as far as the second is con- cerr ed. During the summer of 1948 a group of Sewanee students conceived the idea of a new type of social organization for the Mountain. It was at that time that they first came to a full realization of our great Anglo-Saxon heritage and wished to perpe- tuate these ideals. In the fall of that year, the Wellington Club was formed, with the idea of carrying out its founders ' dreams. In the years since its founding, a typically Eng- lish system of government has grown up, in- volving a Prime Minister, a President of the Privy Seal, and various other officers. The Wellingtons, by their formal and informal methods, have done much to develop that fellowship, love, and companionship which the cold art masters lacked.

WELLINGTON CLUB HJRGH v Coach Williamson and Head Coach White with Co-Captain Rox and Captain Lindsay. Though Sewanee finished the 1953 season with a 3-5 won and lost record, Tiger fans were well pleased with the showing made by an undermanned Purple team. Injuries plagued the Purple team in key positions throughout the year. In the Washington game, Lee Tiger Lance suffered an injury which put him in the hospital for major surgery, and forced him out of action for the rest of the season. At the beginning of the season, Coach Bill White ' s only problem at tailback was which of the two men to play at that position, Bob Parkes or Gordon Sorrell. Parkes was sidelined with a shoulder injury for much of the season, and Sorrell, who received honorable mention honors on the little All-American team, was hampered most of the season by an ankle injury. Sewanee opened the season with Howard and gained revenge for a drubbing received at the hands of the Bull- dogs last year. Next came the mighty Washington Bruins. and Sewanee played fine football for three quarters before the superior manpower of the St. Louis team wore the Tigers down. A trip to Jackson, Mississippi, proved disastrous, as Sewanee lost the game with Millsaps, and both of its fine tailbacks for that game. The Tigers lost a heartbreaker to Mississippi College in the Homecoming fracas, and lost to the powerful Wabash team a week later. The game with Hampden-Sydney was cancelled because the Virginia team was involved in a train wreck en route to Sewanee. Sewanee broke back into the winner ' s circle with victories over Cen- tre and Southwestern. In the final tilt, after a brave battle, the Tigers succumbed to Trinity.

Sewanee ' s Purple Tigers started the 1953 football season off with a bang as they surprised the Howard Bulldogs 13-7 and gained revenge for their defeat at the hands of the Birmingham club last season. Howard scored first, but Sewanee struck back two plays later on a Gordon Sor- rell-Bill Millar pass and were never headed again. Parkes relieved Sorrell in the second period and moved the ball to the five from where Doswell pushed over for the final tally. Big Jim Rox, co-captain of the Tigers; Bill McCutchen, Sewanee blocking back, and tailback Gordon Sorrell were standouts on both offense and defense for Sewanee.

A 40-20 LOSS TO WASHINGTON BOBBY PARKES Tailback BILL MILLAR Winqback Outweighed, outscored, but never outfought, Sewanee tried to make it two straight over Washington Univer- sity but bowed before the superior manpower of the host team and returned from St. Louis the victims of a 40-20 defeat. Led by tailback Gordon Sorrell, the Tigers started the scoring and capitalized on two Bruin fumbles for an early I 3-0 lead. Sorrell pitched passes for both TD s, one to Bill McCutchen and the other to Ron Patterson. The Bears jumped into the scoring picture and, led by Ted Dunn, pulled ahead of the Tigers by halftime. As the third period ended, Sewanee scored again as Sorrel! crossed the double stripe from ten yards out, and Bill Doswell booted the extra point to put the Tigers out front 20-19. Dunn again swept into action and scored two touchdowns in three minutes to dampen the Sewanee hopes for an upset. Coach Bill White s charges played sparkling football, but the fresh waves of Bruin grid sters wore the Tigers down and caused them to fall the first defeat of the season. In the Washington game, Sewanee suffered injuries to key players, a factor that was to hamper them all season. Lee Lance, outstanding guard, and a stalwart performer in the middle of the Purple line, was lost for the rest of the season because of injuries received in this game. INS FOLLOWED BY 35-6 MILLSAPS DISASTER GORDON SORRELL Tailback VAL MIXON Fullback BOBBY JACKSON Center SKEETER HALE End Injury-riddled Sewanee made a vain try, but was just unable to cope with Millsaps of Jackson, Mississippi, and went down to defeat for the second time this season, 35-6. With Bobby Parkes and Lee Lance already out of action, the Tiger attack was dealt a final blow with the first period ankle injury of Gordon Sorrell. Sorrell being out, the Sewanee offensive lost its spark and tumbled under the onrushing Majors, who played heads-up ball throughout the contest, capitalizing on every Tiger mis- cue. Momentary lapses in defense and a couple of fum- bles by the Purple were all the Millsaps crew needed to pile up a 21-0 halftime lead. Glenn Cain, Millsaps half- back, led the Majors attack and behind terrific blocking managed to score 16 of his team ' s total points. The second half held much the same story for the hap- less Tigers, although to some extent, their defense tight- ened, and the Majors were slowed in their lust for points. Billy Millar, Sewanee wingback, gave Tiger hopefuls a shot in the arm when he danced, wiggled, and zoomed 85 yards into pay dirt on a punt return for Sewanee ' s lone score. Bill Kimbrough and Ron Patterson threw key blocks to aid the speedy wingback in this third quarter jaunt. Mixon struggles for extra yardage against Millsaps.

As it was, Sewanee ' s hopes for a Homecoming win fell just a yard short with Bi ll Doswells field goal attempt in the fading seconds of the game. Doswell, playing an inspired brand of football, led the patched up Purple team through a last half that kept Sewanee fans on their feet. Doswell personally accounted for more yardage than was gained by the entire Choctaw team and led the Tiger attack after hobbling Gordon Doswell in for the kill on Choc s Dubose as Campbell hai A 14-12 HOMECOMING HEARTBREAKER Sorrell, regular tailback, was torced to retire after direct- ting the Tigers to their first score. The Tiger backfield of Doswell, Tommy Peebles, Skeeter Hale, and Bill McCutchen played brilliant football, and big Jim Rox was a stalwart performer on both offense and defense, many times smashing down Choctaw run- ners for no gain or minus yardage. Other standouts were Sorrell, who played the first half despite an ankle injury, and Charlie Lindsay, Tiger center. It was a heart-breaking loss for the Sewanee club, who played well the entire game.

Indiana, to play the role of homecoming guests of the Wabash Little Giants, and for the third year Wabash proved themselves the nemesis of the Purple Tigers. A scoreless first period saw a spirited Tiger eleven re- fusing to give ground to the assaults of their heavier hosts. During this period neither team made any serious scoring threat although Sewanee had several sustained drives cut short by untimely penalties. A costly Tiger fumble midway through the second quarter seemed to open the floodgates for a wave of Wabash touchdowns. By halftime the Wabash offensive machine, the intricate split-T, had ground out a pair of touchdowns and pre- sented its Southern guests with a 14-0 halftime deficit. As the second half got under way, the scarlet-clad Wabash aggregation manfully took up its business where it had left off some fifteen minutes earlier and scored twice more with catlike quickness. These touchdowns came as the result of long drives capped by passes from Graham to end Dennis Burdock. During the final stanza the entire right side of the Sewanee line surged in to deflect a Wabash punt with Dick Welch leading the way. Jim Rox, ever alert, scooped up the elusive pigskin and lugged it, along with his well- knit 205-pound frame, to paydirt for the lone Tiger tally. Freshman Bill Stallings added the conversion and the scoring picture of the game was complete at 28-7. Although suffering their fourth setback in five starts, Cunningham (65), Patterson (81), and Lindsay (51) meet Wabash sweep. Keck forms conga line with Wabash ' s Graham. Coach Bill White ' s charges showed no signs of relin- quishing the game spirit which has always prevailed where Sewanee men play football. Jim Rox was his usual im- movable self at tackle and was the bulwark of the Sewa- nee forward wall all afternoon. Bob Parkes, although hampered by a shoulder injury, and seeing only limited service at tailback, maintained his inevitable cool manner and gridiron poise which has given Sewanee fans pleasure to watch. 115 With Gordon Sorrell grabbing the spotlight, the Sewa- nee Tigers smashed to their second victory, a 20-14 count over Centre College of Kentucky. Sorrell started his glittering pace in the first stanza by passing and running his mates to the Centre 10-yard stripe. Completing his leading role, Sorrell then circled right end for the score. In the second period Bobby Parkes gave Sorrell a rest and sparked his teammates to their second T.D. Spring- ing through the line on a delayed buck, Parkes took off on a sensational sprint, 48 yards long, into pay dirt. Ron- nie Patterson split the uprights with the extra point. Centre marched back in the second quarter to cut the Purple lead at halftime to 13-7. Following Sewanee s post-touchdown kickoff, the Praying Colonels unleashed a 65-yard drive climaxed by a five yard pitchout romp by Micky Covington. The extra point was booted by Steve Harmon. The Tigers bounced back in the third canto and scored their final touchdown after fighting deep into Centre territory. Again it was Sorrell who sparked the drive and finally flipped a 20-yard T.D. pass to Ronnie Patterson in the end zone. Patterson kept up his all-around play by promptly adding his second extra point of the game. Centre, in a vain attempt to overtake the Tigers, add- ed the ball game ' s final score late in the third quarter as Frank Clendenen bucked across from the one yard line. Harmon again clicked on the extra point. ART TRANAKOS End BURRELL McGEE Blocking Back TIGERS SOCK PRAYING COLONELS 20-14 The ball game was a close one all the way with neither team able to romp over the other. The fourth quarter found both teams on equal terms, although when the final whistle blew, Sewanee was on the verge of adding still another touchdown. With Crazylegs Sorrell set- ting the pace, Sewanee outgained Centre by 307 yards to 203. The Tigers picked up 12 first downs and 225 yards rushing, while Centre was close behind with 10 first downs and 150 yards. The Purple gathered in five im- portant passes out of II, while Centre could click on only three of 10. Graduating Tigers are, left to right, Front Row: Jim Rox, Charlie Lindsay, Bobby Jackson.

Sewa- nee Coach Bill White started a team composed of fresh- men and sophomores, in order to rest his first team and aiso to give the Sewanee reserves experience. A weak Southwestern club played on even terms with the starting team for a quarter, but in the second frame the floodgates were opened and the Tigers scored three touchdowns. The first score came when Guard Phil Jones dropped on a Lynx fumble in the end zone. A few plays later, Gordon Sorrell broke through the Southwestern line and rambled 63 yards to paydirt. The last score of the half came on a pass play, Sorrell tossing 13 yards to Patterson. Patterson booted his third point from place- ment and the Tigers led 2 I -0 at half time.

AND MAUL SOUTHWESTERN 41-0 The Tigers continued their touchdown parade in the third period as they racked up another trio of tallies. Val Gene Mixon piled over from the two for one tally, and a Sorrell to Millar pass accounted for 57 yards and an- other touchdown with Patterson adding the extra point to both scores. Sewanee center Bobby Jackson realized a lineman ' s dream as he picked up a punt blocked by team-mate Dick Welch and romped 15 yards for the final six points. In the final period, Coach White cleaned the bench and played every man he had available. The game was one of Sewanee ' s best efforts of the year and was completely dominated by the Tigers. BERT ANGLEA Tackle HOOPIE TEBAULT End PHIL JONES Guard BILL KIMBROUGH Tailback RONNIE PALMER Wingback ORAN ZAESST Tackle Six Sewanee seniors donned the Purple and White for the last time to take part in the contest with a power laden Trinity eleven. Bowing out of the Sewanee grid picture in brilliant form were Captain Charlie Lindsay, Co-Captain Jim Rox, Val Mixon, Bobby Jackson, Gordon Sorrell, and Skeeter Hale. A matter of sheer manpower spelled the final differ- ence in this hard-fought contest. The first half was all Sewanee, and Sewanee fans would have been happy to see it end right there, Dr. Bruton notwithstanding. In the first quarter, the Purple defense obstinately refused to give ground to their highly publicized guests, and after an exchange of punts, Sewanee drew first blood with tailback Gordon Sorrell scoring from the three. Midway in the second period. Trinity evened things up by send- ing Charlie Sticka off tackle for 25 yards and a touch- down. Minutes later, however, Sewanee again visited Trinity ' s end zone in the person of Bobby Parkes, who smashed over from the one. The half ended with Sewa- nee out front, I 3-7. After the half, Trinity came to life and its vaunted of- fense was not to be denied. During this hectic thirty minutes, the Connecticut team rolled up four touch- downs. Sewanee, never losing their scrapping spirit, fought gamely all the way. Bill Doswell plunged for three yards in the fourth quarter to account for the Tigers final tally. Doswell s extra point was good and the game ended with Trinity on top, 32-20. DROP 32-20 FINALE TO TRINITY Benda bulldogs Sorrell after substantial gain. Doswell drives for Tiger tally.

The junior varsity lost its next game to Martin Junior College, 6-0, and dropped a second game to Baylor Military Acad- emy, 19-0, a week later. The jayvees then broke their losing streak by battling Gordon Military Academy to a 7-7 tie. Coach Bill Porter ' s charges dropped the final game cf the season to Columbia Military Academy, 20-9, to finish the season with a record of one win, one tie, and three losses, despite the lack of manpower.

Vandy pulled way from the Tigers in the final quarter to put the game on ice.

At the end of the first semester, the Tigers were hurt by the loss of their high-scor- ing center, Larry Isacksen, and starting forward, Walt Barnes. The Sewanee team won only two ball games out of their last eight starts. During the last half of the season, the Tigers made many adjustments and some new faces broke into the lineup. Jim Dezell and Dick Richards alter- nated at center, and Larry Heppes took over at the forward position. Co-Captain Glenn Schafer, Steve Green, and Joe Alligood were the other consistent starters. The Tigers only lose two players by graduation this year, Schafer and Eyler, and should have a fine season in I 954-55.

Despite the loss of key men in the field events, Sewanee dropped only one dual meet, a 69-62 decision to Kentucky in an exciting meet. The Tigers downed South- western, Emory, Union, and Howard, and placed third be- hind Tennessee and Vanderbilt in the T.I.A.C. meet. Led by Bill Austin in the weights and Val Gene Mixon and Skip Criddle in the dashes, the Tigers turned in excellent per- formances despite a lack of experience. For 1954, track coach Ernie Williamson expects a good season. Despite the loss of key men in the field events, Coach Williamson feels that freshmen runners and trans- fers should strengthen the Purple team considerably and give the team better balance than last year ' s team. In the opening meet of the season, Sewanee downed Howard with a convincing show of power. Surprise winners were Jim Greene in the high hurdles, long a Sewanee weak spot, and Kent Rea in the half mile. Rea, a freshman who ran for the Sewanee Military Academy team last year, and who was also a member of Sewanee ' s undefeated cross country team last fall, turned in an excellent race to win going away. In the distances, the Crane twins are still on hand to pace the field for the Mountain team. Returning letterman Ralph Patston and squadmen Ed McHenry and Jim Brad- ner also will help the Sewanee cause in the distances. The dashes will again be a strong point for Sewanee with Captain Mixon and Co-Captain Criddle leading the way. The 1954 schedule includes Kentucky at Lexington, Em- ory at Atlanta, Southwestern and Tennessee at Sewanee for a triangle meet, and the State meet at Sewanee.

First Row; Doug Crane, Red CROSS COUNTRY Sewanee cross country men posted the best record of the year as they ran away from every opponent and com- pleted the season undefeated. Led by the able coaching of C. E. Shotwell and the experience of Captain George Pope, the harriers chalked up six straight wins and placed three men in the top thirty of a field of 103 contestants at the Shamrock Cross Country Run at Louisville, Ken- tucky, for the first undefeated season in many years. Opening the season, the Purple thin-clads completely outclassed Oglethorpe University as they finished the first seven men. The following week, the harriers topped Maryville by one point and gained the first Sewanee cross country victory over that school in several years. The Sewanee team then journeyed to Atlanta where the Mountainmen defeated Emory and Oglethorpe Uni- versities in a triangle meet. Sewanee next downed Bryan University at Sewanee. Maryville was the victim of the harriers a second time, and this time the Sewanee team was visitor and victor by one point. The hill-and-dale men closed out the sea- son at Louisville, where they competed against runners from all over the United States. The outlook for future Sewanee cross country teams is bright; only one man graduates from the 1953 squad, and there are several promising freshmen. Jim Bradner, Doug and Don Crane, and Captain Pope were consistent top performers for the Sewanee runners throughout the season. Rounding out the squad were let- termen Stetson Fleming, Kent Rea, Ralph Patston, Ken Barrett, and squadmen Bill Buchly, Harvey Koch, Ed Mc- Henry, and Art Worrall. Coach Shotwell, Captain Pope, and Manager Walter Nance discus meet strategy. Fleming heads for the finish line after long run on the golf course. Bruton, Briggs, Pritchard, Carroll; second row: Stewart, White (captain). Fort. TENNIS The I 953 Tiger net team racked up one of the most impressive won and lost records for the Mountain athletic teams for the second straight year. Under the able coaching of Dr. S. S. Bruton, the Purple net men brought home thirteen victories against only five defeats. The only Tiger losses were to Dartmouth, Davidson, North Carolina, Tennessee and Vanderbilt. The Tigers boasted victories over Alabama, Middle Tennessee State, Southwestern, and Maryville in their victory column. Highlight of the season was Sewanee s repeat taking of first place in the T.I.A.C. (or State) meet. The Tiger team shared first place hon- ors with a strong Memphis State squad. The 1953 victory made Se- wanee ' s eleventh win in fifteen attempts. Sewanee ' s chances for a successful season in 1954 are very good. The Tigers picked up several new men and lost only two players by graduation. The experience gained last year will help the Tigers cop a major share of the honors again this year. Webb White will again hold down the number one spot on the team. In his senior year, Webb should be a tough man to belt. Dick Briggs, playing number three last year, has tough competition for the number two spot in Pete Stewart, a newcomer to Sewanee sports scenes. Keith Fort and Howard Pritch- ard, letteimen from last year, will be hard pushed by another new- comer, Pete Carroll. With a little luck and some hard work, the 1954 aggregation should keep the T.I.A.C. cup on the Mountain for another year.

COACH BRYANT G With a new coach, but many lettermen, the Tiger golf team fig- ures to be stronger than the team of last spring which won seven and lost six matches. Under the direction of Coach Walter Bryant, the Sewanee team is out to give all opponents a bagful of trouble. The purple team, which lost only a couple of the players who helped Sewanee place second in the 1953 T.I.A.C. meet, should be in the money at this year ' s State meet. This year ' s team will be led by Ray Terry and Gene Eyler, both of whom are playing their fourth year for the Sewanee golfers. Terry, one of the finest collegiate golfers in the South, and Eyler, a keen competitor when the chips are down, should help the Tigers have a good year on the greens. To round out the team will be Jay Butler, Buck Cater, John McWhirter, and Noyes Long. JOHN McWHIRTER JAY BUTLER Sewanee mat lettermen, kneeling: Knight, Broome, Berner, Rea.

S E W A N E E A T E N Although Sewanee ' s wrestling team failed to bring home a victory in their first year of wrestling, the Mountain matmen picked up valuable experience for the coming seasons. According to Coach Ernie Williamson, the team showed a great deal of improvement over the season, and he is optimistic as to the strength of next year ' s team. Led by Captain Art Tranakos, Sewanee opened the season against Emory in Atlanta. The next meet was against Middle Tennessee State College at Sewanee, and this was followed by a meet with Maryville on the Mountain. Before exams, Sewanee travelled to Chattanooga for a meet with the University of Chattanooga. A trip to Murfreesboro for a return match with MTSC was followed by a two- night stand against Chattanooga and Vanderbilt on the Mountain for the final meets of the season. Tranakos, a standout prep school wrestler at Episcopal, was a consistent winner for Sewanee and one of the few men with any previous wrestling experience. Hal Knight. John Broome, Dick Spore, and John Anderson were the other experienced men of the squad, and of these men. only Broome will not be back next year. Competition was keen and many newcomers to the mat sport were fighting for positions on the team. The Purple teams displayed fine spirit throughout the year, and the sport shows promise of being popular on the Mountain.

Bottom: Rebound ac- tion as ATO Basketball Champs Take on Vandy at ATOs. URALS ATOs and have the best chance to upset the Alpha Taus hopes for the cup. As the Greeks returned to the Mountain in September, the Phis were picked to retain their hold on the football side of the picture with one of their strongest teams in recent years. As the season progressed, the grandstand quarterbacks proved to be right, and the Phis, led by Dick Corbin, Jim Green, and Ray Terry, swept through all op- position. Second in the pigskin parade were the ATOs with John- ny Boult leading the way. The ATOs lost only to the Phis and came home ahead of the SAEs and the Phi Gams. In the post season game between the champion Phis and the All-Stars, the Stars downed the Phis 21-0 under the able leadership of Boult. Cross country, or the cake race, was won by the Phi Gams with the Phi Delts and the Sigma Nus taking second and third place in that order. In the next major sport to be played, volleyball, the Sigma Nus turned in an undefeated season to surprise the Phis and ATOs, favorites before the season began. Again the ATOs took second place with only one defeat to mar their record. The Phis took third place, and the Theologs picked up fourth place honors. After Christmas vacation, basketball became the center of attention, and the ATOs swept through the season un- defeated after having trouble with the unusually tough schedule. The league had more strong teams than the Mountain has seen in several years with the Phi Delts, Phi Gams, and the SAEs all fielding potential winners. The ATOs retained possession of the Sewanee-Vander- bilt intramural exchange trophy by defeating the Vandy ATOs in a playoff between the intramural basketball champs of the two schools. Standouts in the basketball league were the ATOs White, Cherry, and Parkes; the Phis ' Corbin and Terry; the Phi Gams ' McGrory; and the SAE ' s Seidule. In the minor winter sports, handball and badminton, the Phi Delts and the Alpha Taus continued their fierce bat- tle for the cup with the Phis taking first place ahead of the ATOs in handball and the ATOs taking first place ahead of the Phis in badminton. Terry won the singles in handball for the Phis, and White won the singles in bad- minton for the ATOs. Third place teams were the Phi Gams in handball and Kappa Sigs in badminton. As the smoke cleared away from the intramural track meet and the frat men nursed sore muscles, the ATOs emerged as the winner of the meet and added forty pre- cious points to their total of Intramural Cup points. The battle for the track shaped up as a contest between ATO speed and SAE brawn. The final margin of victory was due to the fact that the Alpha Taus swept the dashes and placed in every event to run up an Impressive score. The SAEs were in second place with the Phi Gams and the Phi Delts following in that order. Individual standout was Bill Millar for the ATOs with 3 ! , 2 points— a first in the broad jump and 100-yard dash, second in the 220-yard dash, and a member of winning 880 relay team. At this writing there are four spring sports to be com- pleted — softball, swimming, tennis, and golf. The ATOs loom as favorites to win the last major sport of the year, softball, and if they do win this sport, they should win the cup by a comfortable margin.

CHEERLEADERS Noted for their acrobatics on the held or hardwood, the cheerleaders play an indispensable part in athletics at Se- wanee. This group of five, under the cheerleadership of Sparky Brice, has done an excellent job in raising spirit at all varsity games and also in providing unusual halftime entertainment. These boys played an important role in helping to put over one of the best Homecoming parades in Sewanee history, in leading pep rallies, and in stimulat- ing dining hall cheers. Membership in the S Club is an honor achieved by earning a letter in any one or more varsity sports. This year the S Club has undertaken the project of erecting a new scoreboard for Hardee Field. Other activities of the club included selling refreshments at all campus athletic events and assisting in different athletic functions, such as of- ficiating at track meets. Profits from refreshment sales have been used for charitable donations. T H E S CLUB First row: Hornbarger. Tranakos, McCutchen, Jackson, Mixon, Spore, Welch, Patterson. Jones, Seidule (President).

The countless details of Sewanee ' s Rush system are methodically handled by the Council. Throughout the year the group meet at least once a month to discuss problems of rushing and inter-fraternity relations among the nine Greek societies on the Mountain. Each fra- ternity is represented by two members, its presi- dent and one member elected for a term of one year. The presidency and secretaryship rotate among the fraternities. During the 1953-54 year Joe Pugh, Kappa Sigma president, quite ably filled this important office. McWhlrter. Mixon, Bell, Barclay, Puqh, Wood, Kalmbach, Dent, Smith. First row: R. E. S. Hall; E. S.

Social events this year included Homecoming, Thanksgiving, Midwinter, and the Spring dances. The pledges also gave the active chapter an in- formal Christmas dance which was the best yet. The Alpha Taus were among the top fraternities contending for the scholastic and intramural awards, winning scholarship the first semester and fully in the running for second semester honors as the annual goes to press. With the initiation of their first semester pledge class, the Alpha Tau Omega chapter numbered fifty nine. 1 ALPHA TAU OMEGA BETA THETA PI ■ Alpha Chapter of Beta Theta Pi was -founded at Miami University in 1839, and the Gamma Chi Chapter was es- tablished at the University of the South in 1949. The fra- ternity has 97 active chapters and more than 140 alumni chapters. This year many members held positions in student organizations and on intramural athletic teams. Beta also had great success in scholarship, being ranked third on the campus in this category. The year ' s social functions have been highlighted by dances, several weekend suppers, and by the award of second place in the annual homecoming decorations contest. The annual Beta Weekend was also a great success. First row: K. B. Rea; C. C. Keiser; J. W. Oxford; V. P. Serodino; C. W. Patty; R. C. Lindop; L R Abel; J. N. Diehen; C. Met. Second row: S. E.

In 1883 Beta Theta Chapter was installed at Se- wanee. Eighty four active and an equal number of alumni chapters hold charters in the U. S. and Canada. The guide for activities this year has been scholarship first and fore- most; this does not infer that other activities were elimin- ated however. Beta Theta ' s teams participated in the in- tramural fray also. The living and game rooms and the kitchen were completely remodeled. Social activities in- cluded the Homecoming Romp, with Lynda Phillips as Delt Queen, the Barbecue, Thanksgiving ' s feast, and the devil- may-care Parisian Party. DELIA TAU DELTA KAPPA ALPHA ORDER Kappa Alpha Order was founded at Washington and Lee University in 1865 with the aid of Robert E. Lee. The Alpha Alpha chapter came to Sewanee in 1883. 1953-54 proved to be an excellent one for Alpha Alpha. The pledge class proved itself by winning the Home- coming float contest. Knight Commander Locke delivered an address at the pledge banquet, and many fine times were had during other Fall social functions. Intramurals and Scholarship have improved this year; also the University Cross Country and Wrestling teams were bolstered by KAs.

During the year various improvements were made in the fraternity house, and the Omega alumni chapter was com- pletely reorganized. Omega was especially happy to see Rev. D. B. Collins return to the mountain as Chaplain of the University. The highlights of the social season were seen at Home- coming and the Military Ball, both of which will be well remembered by the brothers of Omega. KAPPA SIGMA PH DELTA THETA Phi Delta Theta was founded at Miami University, Ox- ford, Ohio in 1848. Tennessee Beta was established at Se- wanee in 1883. The chapter looked good this year i n ath- letics, winning the championship in intramural football for the third year in a row. The volleyball and basketball teams placed high, and the chapter excelled in Spring sports too, placing the Phis high in intramural athletic points. The social life was also exceptional. Miss Judy Wertz was the fourth straight Homecoming O ueen sponsored by the chapter. The Thanksgiving and Midwinter dances were high- ly successful, and the year was capped off by the Roaring Twenties and Spring Formal dances. The beautiful new terrace, a memorial to Brothers Hodg- son and Gass, was dedicated by Bishop Mitchell at Com- mencement. First row: J, W. Tall . May; J. S. Cri M. Cole; R. I. Evans; D. R.

Gamma Sigma chapter of Phi Gamma Delta was estab- lished at the University of the South in 1919, seventy one years after the founding at Jefferson College. It initiated its largest pledge class this year number- ing twenty two. The Phi Gams are also strong contenders for the intramural cup as the annual goes to press. Fijis took an active part in campus activities this year with the annual clothes drive for the underprivileged around Sewanee, the Easter egg hunt for the colored chil- dren here, and the annual Commencement Smorgasboard. Social life played an important part in the chapter in I 954. The Christmas party with Santa, the Pig dinner in the Spring, and the highlight of the year, the Fiji weekend, in May with the Black Diamond Formal. PH GAMMA DELTA SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON The first chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was founded at the University of Alabama on March 9, 1856. The present SAE house of Tennessee Omega was the first official chap- ter house in the country. Here on the mountain SAE is noted for the members athletic ability. Although many of the members participate in varsity sports they still maintain a well rounded intra- mural program. Outstanding in leadership this year were Bill Smith and Gordon Sorrell: both were presidents of the fraternity and were outstanding on the campus. The party highlights were noted on Bitter Rice week- end and Founder ' s Day. At these times a great time was had by all. Tennessee Omega will miss its sweetheart for the last three years, June Sorrell, after Commencement this year. . D. Fitzpatrick; H. D Clarke; G. S. Sorrell (2nd sem, pres.) W. H.

Founded at V.M.I, in 1869, Sigma Nu has grown to be one of the largest college fraternities, numbering over 1 25 active chapters and being represented in every state. Sewanee ' s Beta Omicron chapter looks back on this year as another forward step in the continual growth of the chapter. An active scholastic average of 2.65 and strong competition in intramural sports, as well as representative participation in varsity athletics, help mark the chapters success in every field. Realizing that a college fraternity is primarily a social or- ganization, Beta Omicron has stressed the dances and so- cial functions that have spiced the calendar year, the climax being the elaborate White Rose Formal in the Spring. SIGMA NU ' te Ar t lote of yrcknowleclt f men t . is small in comparison to the indispensable contributions made to the CAP AND GOWN by innumerable sources. To all, we, the staff of the 1 954 publication of Sewanee ' s annual, are grateful. To the associate editors and their respective staffs go praise for a thoroughly and conscientiously completed job. And especially, our sincerest thanks go to Mr. John T. Benson, III, of Benson Printing Company, for his patient aid and advice throughout the year; to the personnel of Fabry Studios, and specifically to Mr. Togo Uchida for his unex- celled photographic work; to Mr. Robert Faerber of Alabama Engraving Company for his invaluable asistance; to Mr. Howard Coulson for his faithful on-the-spot photography; to the Alumni Office for the use of its facilities; to Mr. Wallace Shields, whose photographic assistance helped to meet final deadlines just before publication. It is hoped that the 1 954 edition is one step further in realizing the ideal of a yearbook which is worthy of Sewanee.
