MARYVILLE, TENN. SEPTEMBER 12, 19?6

NUMBER 1

Donations Make Possible Needed Campus Changes

Pearsons Lobby Remodeled ;

Gateways, Sidewalks

Constructed

Addition of donations by the class of 1917, 1928, and 1929, together with a large sum given by Mrs. John Walker to the usual funds of the college, have made possible a number of improve- ments on the campus and the buildings during the summer.

The replacement of the old partitions in the lobby of Pearsons Hall by new steel girders makes it now possible for men and women to enter the dining hall together. New floors, steps, and a completely refinished parlor were also added to the changes of Pearsons during the summer. Money for the work, amounting to about $1500, was donated by Mrs. Walker.

Old coal burning stpves in the kitchen have now been replaced by new gas ranges; and the basement of Pearsons has been completely concreted and will be used as a store room for the dining hall. A new door from the dining hall to the porch by the kitchen has been cut and is to be used by some of the boys in order to avoid congestion of the front entrances.

Another feature to be added to the college is the gateways now under con- struction at the two automobile en- trances. There are to be four posts composed of white limestone and brick at each entrance and the gates are to be of iron scroll work. One of the gates was contributed by the Class of 1917 and the other by the Class of 1928 Among the members of the Class of 1917 was Miss Anna Jones, registrar of the college until her death about three years ago. The cost of the two gateways is to be about twelve hundred dollars. In addition to the sidewalk from

An Echo staff depleted in numbers but expanding with enthusiasm finds itself responsible for the publication of the paper for the next few weeks. A number of vacancies were left last spring when the election of staff members was completed, and through the resignation of Doris Woodwell, sophomore news writer, and Edward Thorn, senior staff editor, the number of active journalists was appreciably reduced.

Miss Woodwell, whose special field was the reporting of campus social events, has found it impossible to return this year. Mr. Thorn, who was for the three years of his residence at

REMINISCENCE

By ROBERT BRANDRIFF

(Echo Staff Writer)

The Echo reporter who recently had occasion to visit Miss Mary Ellen Caldwell, much better known to stu- dents and faculty as Miss Molly, found her— as the journalism of a half century ago would have phrased it— a prey to mingled emotions. She finds the chance for leisure and relaxation quite pleasing, and has already planned to fulfill several long-felt desires. For one thing, opportunity is now afforded

last being the boy's dormitory. She has witnessed, then, the greatest part of Maryville's development, having served during the regimes of four presidents of the college.

Even the cedars, now the crowning glory of the campus, "were no taller than that," she told the reporter, pointing to the top of a clock on the mantle, which he estimated to be about six feet off the floor.

Miss Mollie proved rather reticent about any of the exploits of her charges

As was announced last spring, a new department of instruction has been in- corporated in the college curriculum beginning this year. Known as the De- partment of Fine Arts, it embraces the old departments of special instruction, with inclusion of greatly expanded fields of concentration.

The new department is to be headed by Miss Katharine C. Davis, who will also teach piano. Besides being a teacher of wide experience, Miss Davis is an accomplished pianist, having studied in a number of foremost in- stitutions, both here and abroad.

Miss Dorothy Home, likewise a new- comer to Maryville college, will teach viola, piano, and violin. Miss Home is also a musician of merit and holds degrees in both violin and piano.

Voice will be taught by Ralph Col- bert, who will conduct the band, orchestra, Vesper choir, and glee clubs.

The new department is a regular part of the liberal arts college, the only difference being the fact that non- credit work will be offered, and that people from the town may enroll. As in other departments of instruction, majors are offered, and students may concentrate in dramatic art or music.

For the present, however, no college credits will be given for art. Music will consist of both the theoretical and applied, as announced previously in the catalog.

In addition to the new members of the faculty already mentioned, the staff of the new department will include Mrs. West as associate professor and Miss Holland, instructor, of dramatic art, and Miss Bird, instructor in art. O

Notices

Those students living off the campus may have their copies of the Echo by calling at the college post office.

All students who have filed ap- plications for work and have not received assignments should call at the Student-Help Office during the next few days. Unless a stu- dent does report back to the office, it is assumed that he does not want the work.

Clemmie J. Henry Director of Student-Help

All changes in schedule will be made on Tuesday, September 15.

All students who are interested in membership in the college band should report to the Chapel at 6:45 on Monday evening, September 14.

Operation in Famous

Ford Hospital

It came as a great surprise to most of the returning students to learn that the popular young Director of Per- sonnel would not be here for the opening of school. He is now under observation and treatment at the famous Henry Ford hospital in De- troit, where Mrs. Cummings' cousin is chief surgeon.

Dr. Cummings' illness, the nature of which is not yet precisely known, be- gan to trouble him last January, and during the summer necessitated X- rays and treatment in Knoxville and a nonth's stay at a sanitarium in Penn- sylvania.

Experiencing no evident improve- ment, he left on September 7 for Detroit, from where Mrs. Cummings has wired that an operation may be nec- essary. Dr. Lloyd, however, has not received report of one.

In one year, Dr. Cummings has be- come one of the most popular figures on the campus. The students find in him a sympathetic champion of their interests.

Since September 1, the Personnel office has been obliged to reject ap- plications ot prospective freshmen for admission to Maryville college. At the present time it is estimated that the limit of 300 necessarily placed on membership in the freshman class has exceeded by fifteen or twenty. The dormitories are full, and many late arrivals have been obliged to secure rooms in the town.

The system instituted by Dr. Cum- mings last spring promises to facilitate the handling of student registration by cutting down the time required to register and eliminating much un- necessary keeping of records.

student life at these institutions.

On the other hand. Miss Mollie does not hesitate to admit that she misses the college and the people, and places and events that go to make up college life. And why not? When one remem- bers that for nearly a quarter of a century she has born the responsibili- ties of dean of women, and has been connected, in one way or another, with Maryville college for fifty-five years, one understands this feeling. Indeed, it would be impossible for anyone to be so much a part of the college life and tradition, and not notice a very definite want on leaving.

When Miss Molly first came to Mary- ville, she was a student in the fourth grade in the grammar school that was then a part of the college, all of which was contained in three buildings, An- derson. Baldwin, and Memorial, the

writer with a good one about a boys' feud which culminated in the dining hall. It being the days when every boy wore a hat, or at least a cap, the mem- bers of one of the rival factions filled their enemies' head gear with "old lady," whose adhesive qualities more than made up for what it lacked in flavor. Saturday night baths took place on Wednesday that week.

But what one notices most in Miss Caldwell's conversation is her deep and genuine interest in the welfare of Maryville college, and her sympathetic understanding of its problems and ideals.

Her last remark to the Echo's re- porter was, "I wish you all the success in the world:" but one glance at the far awav look in her eves told him

Tryouts for the Vesper Choir and the men's and women's glee clubs will be given by Mr. Colbert during the week of September 14. Any person desiring membership in either of these organi- zations should report to him in his studio in the basement of the Chapel.

Due to ntv.' appointments, marriage, retirement, and further study, ten members of last year's faculty will not be back this year.

Dr. Paul E, Fields, head of the de- partment of psychology, and Dr. Ben- jamin C. Bradshaw, associate professor of chamistry, have left Maryville for new positions. Dr. Fields has accepted the position of professor of psychology at his alma mater, Ohio Wesleyan; and Dr. Bradshaw is at the University of Kentucky this year.

Miss Zoe Wells Carroll associate Sodet Welcomes Freshmen

professor of biology, Miss Helen Re- becca Gamble, associate professor of psychology, and Miss Josephine R. Hunter, head of Memorial hall have left the college because of marriage. Miss Carroll was married to Dr. Howard Black in the spring and is now in Nevada where Dr. Black is stationed by the government. Miss Gamble was married to Mr. Herbert Dunning on August seventeenth and is now living in Chicago. Miss Hunter was married on August fifteenth to Mr Frank W. Potter, Jr., and is now living in Read- ing, Pennsylvania.

Miss Mary Ellen Caldwell, dean of women has retired and is now living in her home on Miller Street in Mary- ville.

Two other former faculty members now in Maryville are Miss Laura Hale, formerly head of the department of music, who has opened her own studio here; and Mrs. Mary S. Snelson, in- structor of piano, who is at her home.

Miss Eva Mildred Butcher, who is at her home in Knoxville at present, is planning to study music further this winter. Miss Merle Beebe, formerly secretary to the president, is now working for a firm in Chicago. O

Ten new members of Maryville's faculty have entered upon their peda- gogical commissions during the last two weeks. Changes in faculty per- sonnel were made necessary by the resignations of several of last year's professors and the reorganization of some departments of the college curri- culum.

In .addition to the acquisition of new members of the instructional staff, the administration and directors have made the following changes in titles and duties. Dr. Hill Shine, for the past four yean associate professor of Eng- lis, has been advanced to the rank of professor. Mr. E. E. McCurry has been named supervisor of men's residences. Professor J. H. Kiger will teach history, which was his graduate major, instead of BibL. . , - .■- n

The President's office has released the following statement concerning the new members of the faculty: Psychology Department Additions "David H. Briggs, B. A., M. A., Ph. D., Professor and Head of the Depart- ment of Psychology and Education. Dr. Briggs comes to Maryville from the Florida State College for Women, Tallahassee, Florida, where he has been a member of the faculty for the past six years. He graduated from Maryville college in 1919, and pursued his graduate work at the Universities of Chicago and North Carolina, re- ceiving both the degrees of A. M. (1924) and Ph. D. (1930) fror a th. latter institution. His educational txpertenci includes also: two years as high sc!j k>1 teacher and coach, one year as high school principal, and two yean superintendent of schools, al' in North Carolina; one year on the faculty of the University of North Carolina; and two years on the faculty of the Uni- versity of Georgia.

CREDO

WE are an organization to which are entrusted Maryville'st raditions, her present, and her future. We are recording her history, and shaping her destiny.

WE BELIEVE that a student publication is designed primarily for student interpretation; that its purpose is to be a spokesman of the college it represents, to give accurate information, and to re- flect good sportsmanship; and that in fulfilling this purpose it has completed one phase of educational activities which is necessary to the whole.

WE BELIEVE that there is con- structive, creative criticism at a point midway between unsympa- thetic ridicule and unbounded idealism, where lies the medium of journalistic comment; that this medium should be employed for all reporting; and that any person or organization experiencing either criticism or praise should receive it in the same spirit as it is given.

WE BELIEVE that any publica- tion is an important historical do- cument which, when viewed by anyone not contemporary, should reveal truthfully and accurately the most important and estimable conditions and activities of its time.

WE BELIEVE that Maryville is the best «.oliege we know; and that our powers should be directed toward retaining and strengthening her reputation.

Tribute is due an old member of the Echo staff who has found it impossible to return to Maryville this year. Edward H. Thorn served faithfully and capably as freshman apprentice, sophomore cub, and junior feature writer during his three years here. His ready wit, unusually effective mariiprulation of the English language, and co- operative spirit will be much need- ed and missed by the Echo staff this year.

According to Biblical estimates, thirty-seven years is more than half of the normal span of life. When one has devoted half a life- time to service in one cause, one might well feel that the very cord of life is twisted about in it. Miss Mary Ellen Caldwell, for many years Dean of Women at Maryville college, should and must be made to feel that her activities need not end. May she find a richness in in life which she has never known before.

NOTICE

There are at present two junior and two sophomore vacancies on the staff of the Highland Echo which must be filled within the next two weeks. Will any stu- dents interested in trying out for these positions please communi- cate with the editor or leave a notice in the Echo office, at the north side of Thaw hall, before Thursday, September 17.

Vacancies exist in the business staff also, which are to be filled by applicants from the senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman classes. Written application sta- ting qualifications and business experience must be handed in by Friday, September 18, to the business manager at the Echo office, who will forward them to the Committee on Student Publi- cations for consideration.

Party's a Specialty

To climax all the lesser welcomes of the week, those of the administration, the Y's, the Societies, the class presi- dents and all the rest, we, Yorick, welcome you to Dear Old Maryville. By way of introducing ourselves we are successor to the late Hon. Senator Hegner, columnist extraordinary, who seemed to be continually criticized for saying too much or saying too little, depending on his reader's politics . . . We, too, expect your frank criticism, and will answer gladly in this column all letters telling us how good we are.

• » *

And here we sit, thoughtfully chew- ing the end of our typewriter, ponder- ing on the ways of a woman editor who, no doubt affected by the excessive heat of the past summer, suddenly de- cides to put out a six column paper

with a live column staff . Ah me . . .

» • *

In imitation of the Knoxville Morn- ing Disappointment we decided to in- terview several prominent upperclass- j men on the timely topic: "What do think of the new freshmen?" ... To our query Ed (Slug) Lavender, re- plied, "Not so good," and continued in the direction of Memorial Hall . . . Miss Louise Orr's reply, "I think the girls are awfully sweet," resembled by contrast the reply of Dottie Mae Lewis who, after a brief conference with Calista Palmer, recited in unision with the latter, "We think the boys are peachy" . . Marvin Minear's reply, "Much might be said on both sides," ended our interviews . . Our own idea is that as far as beauty goes, some of these new girls are really all right . . . We found several times in the Mixer last Thursday night that we wished that they assigned "little sisters" to upperclass men as- well . . . As for the boys, we tried to be uppity to a new one last Wednesday and were informed that he was a junior from the University of Wisconsin . . . They're a tall bunch, these fellows,

anyhow . . .

• • *

Vexed by Dave Brittain's partiality to Athenian at the Mixer the other night, we have vengefully com- posed the following pome: . . .

"To write what we think right now

of Dave Brittain Probably wouldn't be exactly quite fittain." Which reminds us that the title of our next book will be "Contortions down the Shenandoah", or "A Night on a Bus with Stafford" . . . Those of you who have never tried to sleep on one of the comfortable reclining chairs of

a Greyhound will miss the point . . .

* * *

We haven't met any of the new faculty at this writing, but what we know of them, we like . . . We hope you'll like us, too . . . While we're mentioning the faculty we can't help but mention how discouraged we felt Thursday morning after Dr. Orr had spent the first period of our Ethics class telling us how our grades would be determined entirely according to the relative stupidity of the other

members of the class.

* * *

We're not sure, but we think it was Etta Culbertson who started asking "What's your room number?" of the boys she met at the Mixer instead of the usual, "Where do you live?" . . . And it was our Y's president, Dick :>chlaefer who suggested that the boys' circle stand still and let the girls do the

walking . . .

• • *

The campus improvements especially noteworthy are the remodeling of

Pearsons lobby and the painting of Carnegie'? interior It's too bad

that only half of us, the old students, can appreciate some of the changes . . . A fatherly word to some of the fresh- men we've heard mumbling is, "You should have been here when . ." Knock knock is just bad taste at Maryville, though There are

changes from your former way of liv- ing that you'll have to like, and if you can't do that, do something rather than talk And while we're being

nasty and philosophical we are re- minded of a line we read in Chris- topher Morley's" Human Being" that has us still thinking . . . "Happiness is the delicate balance between for- getting oneself and remembering one- self" . . .

* * *

It tickled us the other day to see the card the president of the Junior class received inviting 'Miss" Winford Ross to the reunion of the Girl's Council of Austin college . . . Which reminds us that the last time we saw him Wednes- day night he was perched on a cam- pus bench lowing though a paper cup

like a homesick Texas steer . . .

* * *

Yorick's sincere hope for the speedy recovery of Dr. Cummings joins all the rest . His vigorous, youthful,

understanding personality won him immediately to all of us when he came to Maryville last year, and we know that new students as well as old will welcome his return.

Our fervent hope is that at the end of this new college year all the ex- cellent resolutions for study we have

now will not have been in vain . . . But we said that last September, too . . Nuff said for now . . .

Several Students Marry, Attend Other Schools

It is impossible to ascertain exactly how much effect leap year had on the situation, but it is true that many familiar faces around the campus have been entangled in the bonds of matri- mony during the summer vacation.

"Bert" Howie, champion woman de- bator, and an accomplished public speaker, is now residing in Florida under the name of Mrs. John Phay. Mr. Phay is also a graduate of Mary- ville college, class of '34. Violet Hamby is happily married to another student, Don Swann.

The notorious Senator Hegner, (Dave Maas), is not married, but has not re- turned to Maryville. The Senator will attend the University of Cincinnati for his junior and senior years, Jane Cobbet, vice president of the women's glee club, did not return to school be- cause of a recent operation. She intends to enroll at Maryville a little later in the year.

Robert Kleemeier, the tall fellow with a freight train whistle, plans to attend Ohio Wesleyan university where Dr. Paul Fields, formerly of Maryville, is head of the Psychology department.

Doris Woodwell, member of last year's freshman debate team, and writer on the Highland Echo staff, will attend another school.

Gid Johnson, varsity football star, has been married for sometime. Ethel Stegall, known as "Olie", is to teach a group of second grade students in a school in Kingston, Tennessee.

A Duty Which You Owe to Yourself

PHONE 666

This Fall thousands of students will enter our colleges to study the tech- nology of their chosen professions. When they graduate their chances of success will be rated as 870 to 1 over their non-college competitors. These figures were compiled from a study of the famous names in Appleton's En- cyclopedia of Biography.

That knowledge is power is more true today than ever before — special- ized knowledge, not familiarity with all the facts of the Universe.

In the words of Herbert Kaufman, "You aren't expected to be omniscient. But we do look to you to make good at your own game— to equip yourself *ith every possible detail that bears upon your immediate pursuit — to keep investigating and searching and pon- dering and speculating upon every phase of your specialty. You have time to do that It is an immediate obliga- tion—a duty wheh you owe to your- self."

i HIGHLAND ECHO SEPTEMBER 12, 1936

Greetings, everyone:

Now that you are more or less settled on the premises, have attended a class or two, have fixed up your room, and other stuff, it's high time you are noticing that fine squad of budding gridmen that have been haunting the practice field for the past two weeks. Opening their sea- son against the Wildcats of Kentucky nexa week, and following that with the first home game, against Hiwassee, the football men are already in the scrimmage stage. Although Coach Honaker will tell us nothing about the chances for a successful season, a little observation will no doubt promise a highly interesting year of High- lander football.

Cochrane Back

K-

We thought perhaps we were seeing things when big Jim Cochrane loomed up on the horizon of the practice field the other afternoon, and started punt-

FOOTBALL — 1936

Sept. 19 Kentucky— there - Sept. 25 Hiwassee-here 'Oct. 3 Tusculum— there

Oct. 9 Cullowhee — here

former Scottie star assured us that he was really back, and was rarin' to go. Shifted back from the line position that made him famous, Cochrane is preparing to unleash a series of long Hfunts against Highlander opponents this season. We remember the general dismay that clouded the scene when Cochrane left Highlander football via the hospital route a season or two ago, and it's surely comfortable to see those 200 pounds of brawn galloping up the field again.

Orchids Again

The very first orchid of the season falls lightly on the golden curls of Bob McKibben, who, happening thjrough the Cincy Terminal at the wrong time, was forced to part with an advance payment on this year's Chilhowean. Said Bob, in part, "I'm glad that I was first." He didn't look it.

Coaches Vacation And Attend Class During Summer

Honaker, Thrower off to

Other States; Fischbach

Attends College

Yorick

Well

The sudden absence of the accus- tomed antagonism against our vague sports ramblings in this spread by Yorick, who fled from Underneath the Bough, probably because of the mos- quitoes, leaves me with nothing to do but defend myself from the freshman whose names I misspell, the upper- classmen whose triumphs I don't write up, and the ladies whose sports events seem to fill that corner down at the cottom. We feel a sigh coming on.

The opening of the school year finds thje coaching staff returning intapt from the summer vacation.

Coach Honaker, head coach of foot- ball, and baseball spent part of the summer vacationing in Virginia, be- fore returning to Maryville.

Coach Thrower, wrestling, track, and line coach in football, returned to his native state, Texas, this summer. On his return to Maryville he participated in local Softball games, where he was outstanding.

Coach G. F. Fischbach attended Northwestern university summer coaching school, which had an enrol- ment of 175 high school and college coaches. Courses were offered in foot- ball, basketball, track, swimming, and athletic administration.

Coach Fischbach was privileged to watch the daily practice sessions of All-Stars who tied the Detroit Lions at Soldiers field on September 1.

He took courses in swimming and athletic administration under Tom Robinson.

Scotties Coach

Steve Boretsky, former Scot football and wrestling star, and O'Neal Gray, captain of the 1935 grid squad and star track man, are coaching football at Mary- ville High School during the pre- sent season.

Boretsky, star athlete during all four of his years here, took up the position of backfield coach of the Scottie eleven the first year after his graduation. From this post he went the next year to the head coaching posi- tion at Townsend High School, Townsend, Tennessee, where he chalked up an enviable record in all branches of sport. This year Steve returns to Maryville is coach of the local high school gridders.

Gray, end and captain on last year's Scot eleven, and high jump man on the Highlander :inder squad, has also returned, md the two are very busy these days, rounding out a new grid squad down at the Maryville ligh school.

Bill Dunn, varsity football player, and president of last year's freshman class is attending the State Teacher's college in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Scot Coaches Take Up Duties Another Year

Honaker and Thrower Back

At Old Posts For

This Season

Gridders Finish Second Week of Fall Practice

Open Season with Kentucky

At Lexington Saturday;

Forty-one On Squad

With fifteen long and successful years behind him, Coach Lombe Scott Honaker this season takes up the men- torship of another of the Scottie elevens that have been under his watchful eye since first he came to the Maryville campus. Already the recipient of the double honor of systematizing High- lander athletics and leading the Scots to conference championships in every department of Maryville sportdom, the veteran coach is already busy turning out another Scot grid machine.

Head coach of football, basketball, and baseball since his arrival here, Coach Honaker has secured numerous Conference titles in all three sports, the most recent being the two-year-in- a-row championship of Smoky Moun- tain Conference basketball.

Busily engaged in putting the High- lander squad through a light scrim- mage this afternoon, Coach Honaker would make no predictions as to the outcome of the current season. Thrower At Line Post

Bib Bob Thrower, one-time captain of a Scottie eleven returns to the line- coaching position in football this year, as well as to the head coaching jobs in track and wrestling. Coach Thrower, since his return to Maryville as a mem- ber of the faculty has secured an en- viable record in both the sports under his supervision, as well as being an important factor in the development of I (Continued on page four)

The second Saturday of g. ' I practice today finds Coach L. S. Honaker "moanin' low" over the Scotties' chances of a satisfactory debut against the Kentucky Wildcats next week. Forced to pick a starting lineup in the next four days from a squad of forty- one, including five lettermen and six- teen frosh hopefuls, the coaching staff aims only at holding the powerful Kentuckians to a reasonable number of touchdowns.

The team which will start the Lex- ington scrap next Saturday will show five or six new faces. Alexander and Coulter at en^a, Renfro at center, and Overly and Captain Crawford in the backfield are the only men who saw regular service in 1935. Tackle duties will be shared by Feezell and Coch- rane, newcomers who carry consider- able weight and experience. Among the freshman line candidates Tulloch, a 200-pound tackle has shown most promise. He should develop into one of the few capable reserves before the season ends.

In the backfield the leading aspirants are Overly and Crawford, lettermen; Kindred, Swearengin, Burris, and Widener, 1936 subs; Baird, Etheridge, and Wilborn, first year men. A quartet composed of Burris at quarterback, Crawford and Etheridge at halves, and Overly at full, looked best in Friday's (sifenal drills. Coach Hbnalger's big (Continued on page four)

After completing two years of her college course she left the University to be married to Mr. Logan A. Snyder who had gradu- ated and was going to manage the farm interests of his family. After a num- ber of years Mr. Snyder turned to the ministry, entered the Theological Seminary in Chicago where he gradu- ated in 1925, and became a Presbyterian pastor in Illinois. After a successful ministry of eight years his death oc- curred unexpectedly. Mrs. Snyder re- turned to college and after two years graduated magna cum laude, receiving highest honors; after another year she "received her masters degree with equally high honors. She brings to Maryville a rich experience as a teacher, a wife, and mother (she has one son aged eighteen), and a worker with young people in high school, church, conferences, and university. Both before and after her mariage she was a very successful teacher, and is prepared to teach college Social Science or Education.

problem in this department is to un- cover a triple-threat man, or even a double-threat man. Present plans call for big Jim Cochrane to drop back from his tackle position to do the punting, a job left vacant by the ab- sence of Odell from this year's squad. He may also handle part of the passing chores, as no dependable heaver has yet appeared among the backs.

Today, as the Scots square off at three o'clock for their first scrimmage, all signs point to a 1936 Maryville team which will be seriously handicapped both by inexperience and by a lack of reserve strength. On the other hand the boys' improved spirit— their only asset, according to Coach Honaker — should go for in off-setting this weak- ness.

Musical Groups Remodeled Under Colbert's Baton

New Director Begins School

Year with Augmented

Orchestra, Band

Under the able direction of Mr. Ralph Colbert of the music department, the band has increased to thirty-five mem- bers this year and the school is serious- ly considering buying uniforms. In addition to Mr. Colbert's direction, Dick Woodring, an experienced high school drum major, will lead the band in marching.

Other improvements planned by Mr. Colbert are a sponsor for the band, the purchase of new music, and some new instruments including at least one more bass. It is also very probable that the size of the band will be further increased.

Woodring will be assited in drilling the band by Jack Meigs, a freshman, who has had experience in drilling with R. O. T. C. units. Woodring was the drum major of a Pennsylvania high school band that won first place in marching, over fifteen other bands in a contest at the University of Penn- sylvania.

The next meeting of the band will be in the chapel at 6:45 Monday evening and any new men interested in becom- ing members of the band are invited to be at the meeting or to get in touch with Mr. Colbert.

The first orchestra meeting of this school year, held Tuesday evening, showed great promise of a successful program. There were twenty-six per- sons at the practice, and indications are (Continued on page four)

Highest Rank On 1936 Honor Roll To Class of '37

Last Year's Graduates Lead

In Number of Class

Included on List

Name Changed On Girls' Dormitory

The name of Memorial Hall has been changed to McLain Memorial Hall and the new name now appears on the nameplate on the front of the building.

This change is in accord with an arrangement made almost ten years ago, when a generous fund was given by Mr. Nelson Wylie McLain and his wife, Mrs. A. McLain, and was of great value in remodeling Baldwin and Memorial Halls and in placing the sprinkler system for fire protection in the two buildings. The death of Mr. McLain had already occurred before this fund was received by the College and Mrs. McLain then agreed to the suggestion of the College that after her death the name of Memorial Hall should be changed to McLain Memorial Hall. Mrs. McLain died in Middleiown, New York, July 27, 1936. '

In a letter written by President Wil- son of the College in 1927, the follow- ing explanation of the reasons for this change is made:

"Memorial Hall was erected at the time of the reunion of the old and new schools of the Presbyterian Church and a memorial fund of five mililon dollars was sought in order to celebrate the reunion. Maryville received a few hundred dollars through that fund and yet, nevertheless, used the name Memorial for the building. So you see, the building may be named McLain Memorial without infringing on the rights of any former donor. The money that erected Memorial Hall was given by genreal donors of the College hav- ing nothing to do with the Presbyterian memorial fund."

Theta Rush Week To Open Tuesday

Jewel Box Selected Theme For Gala Programs

Theta Epsilon's annual rush week will be opened by a tea on Tuesday afternoon in the Y. W. C. A. rooms. This will be followed on Thursday by a "Jewels of the Pirates" program in the college woods.

The entire series of programs will be centered around a central theme, of the Jewel Box, which will be opened at different times and under various con- ditions for the pleasure of new girls.

The rush week will be climaxed by a gala program to be presented in the gymnasium on Saturday evening Sept- ember 26. This formal welcoming of prospective Theta members will take place at eight o'clock.

Campus Crew Lays New Storm Sewer

Athenian Opening Program Features Muisical Skits

Tonight the Athenians will begin their year's activities with a welcome meeting for new men students in Athenian hall at 6:45.

President Don McArthur will deliver the "Howdy" address, speaking of the traditions and purposes of the society and its place on the campus.

The flying fingers of Robert Rankin will entertain with an "Accordian Activity, followed by "Idiotic Inter- pretations" appropriately supplied by Red Kent and Bill Downes. "Musical Murders" will be perpetrated by the "Tune Botchers." Refreshments will be served, and the benediction by Fred Rhody will close the meeting.

With a crew of between 90 and 100 boys, Mr. Ernest Brown, is swiftly changing the campus into one of de- tailed cleanliness and beauty.

Most of the work is being directed toward general cleaning in beautifying the walks and in improving the tennis courts and golf course.

The project began last spring of laying storm and sanitary sewers to Thaw hall is being completed. The 12- inch storm pipe drains the football field, the low section behind the west bleachers known as "Wilson Lake," and the roofs of Thaw, Science, and the swimming pool. "Brownie" hopes to run an extension from Baldwin hall to the city main on highway no. 73, although it is not expected that the work will be started for a short time.

The workers on the farm have al- ready started cutting corn and filling the large silo which was recently finished.

The sharpening of saws and axes in- dicates that the woods are to be cleaned of the 45 ir 50 trees uprooted during a recent storm.

"Brownie" expressed the hope that he could soon resume work on the new circle drive started last year with N. Y. A. workers.

Honor Graduate Wins Yale Prize

OBITUARY

The late Susan Cooky, better remembered by Boarding club members as Susie, met tragic death suddenly on Thursday afternoon last while crossing Pearsons avenue to visit the Baldwin tennis courts.

Susie was trotting happily along when a large truck swerv- ed around the bend and killed her. An onlooker bore her to the side of the road, from where she was later carried to her final resting place east of Thaw hall.

Susie was affectionately de- scribed as "rat-tailed" by her friends and acquaintances. She occupied positions of high im- portance, having led the pro- cessional of the Vesper choir on one occasion, and having super- vised the dining hall affairs re- gularly since taking her place in campus life several weeks ago.

For the past several days Susie had been the house guest of Miss Calista Palmer and Miss Dottie Mae Lewis, her close friends, by whom she is survived.

graduate students in five fields, Eng- dential campaign will be held and will j list, German, Spanish, philosophy, and be open to the other members of the j history. The prize takes the form of

college. This course was offered two years ago but was not continued last year.

Although organized with the idea of helping this year's debaters, class atten- dance does not necessarily mean that a student must try out for the team. Varsity debate tryouts will end the class at the close of the semester.

$100 worth of books, to be selected form lists provided by the dean of the graduate school.

Miss Wright plans to complete the second year required by Yale, leading to a M. A. degree in the English de- ! partment. There were about thirty-five first-year graduate students in English in 1935-36, men and women.

Sophomore Fills Vacancy In Art Editorship

Due to the failure to return this fall of two of the staff of the 1937 CHIL- HOWEAN, a new appointment has been made this week, the editor has announced. Henry Swain, a sophomore succeeds Mary Alice Everhard as Art editor. Mary Alice, a junior, and Vir- ginia Allen, one of the sophomore apprentices, both regret their inability to return to Maryville.

The editor, Simpson Spencer, and the business manager, John Mclntyre, have both been working out tentative plans this summer. The staff, which consists of Louise Orr, associate editor; James Proffitt, associate business manager; John Stafford, feature editor, assisted by Roberta Enloe; Winford Ross, assisted by Edward Gillingham in the photography division; Don Stevens in the art associate editorship; Walter West in charge of athletics; and Helen Bobo, Curtmarie Brown, Bob Brandriff, John Magill, and Ray Nelson, the soph- omore apprentices, will meet early next week to begin the actual planning.

Bainonian Rush Program Climaxes Tonight At Pool

Movie Stars to Welcome

Guests, Pledge New

Girls to Society

A formal entertainment to be pre* sented at the swimming pool this even- ing at eight o'clock will climax Bainonian's annual rush week. During this week new girls have been the guests of Bainonian society at several functions. On Tuesday afternoon, a travel tea was well attended, and the college woods was the scene of a more informal program designed to acquaint the prospective members with Bainonian's resources and purposes, on Thursday.

The theme of the week's entertain- ment has centered around movieland. Tonight the swimming pool will be renamed Catalina island, and the visiting movie stars will lend their talents to the enrichment of the pro- gram.

In addition to swimming and diving exhibitions, there will be musical and dramatic interludes featuring promi- nent members of the society. Ellen Hitch, Bainonian's opening week presi- dent in 1935, who has been heard this year at the impromptu program pre- sented in the chapel on September 9, will interpret one of her well known musical readings.

Popular numbers have been arranged and will be sung by the Bainonian trio, composed of Calista Palmer, Virginia Worth, and Bernice Gaines. These three seniors found in their freshman year at Maryville, after a auspicious first appearance at a Thanksgiving barn- warming, that they might successfully (Continued on page four) I o

The renovation of Pearsons lobby has made it necessary to move the Y. W. C. A. store to the back south I corner of Baldwin hall.

Mr. Walter Morton, Mr. Ernest I Brown, and their student help have, I in the course of a few days, changed a dormitory room into the ultra-smart o-tablishment which the Y. W. C.

Musty, dust-covered trunks stored in dark and secluded corners of attics are interesting things to explore. There one may find everything from a family scandal to grandpa's great broadsword, used upon the enemy in the dim long ago. And most of all, it is fun to explore the time-yellowed pages of documents and letters sup- posedly locked securely in the trunk. It was my pleasure to find this out this summer when I discovered in an old diary a part of the history of Mary- ville. telling of the campaigns of the Army of the Cumberland through East Tennessee.

It was like meeting an old friend to run upon page aftcr page of reference to Maryville in the diary of Lt. Col. David Claggett, 4th Corps, 10th Ky. Regt of the Army of the Cumberland, U. S. A. Lt. Col. Claggett entered the army in October of 1861. In the ensu- ing months, he engaged in the battles of Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge and was a witness to the battle of Perryville. Following its active en-

gagement in the fighting at Chatta- nooga, the 4th Corps was ordered to relieve the Union forces at Knoxville being hard pressed by the Confede- rates under Gen. Longstreet. It was early December when the march started, and the Hiwassee River was too near flood stage to permit a crossing. After a days wait there, the army moved on in the direction of Maryville. Reaching Maryville— spelled in the diary Mayville — foraging parties found the natives staunchly Union in sym- pathy, and willing to help in every way. Orders from the commanding officer took Lt. Col. Claggett and his regiment back to Georges Mill, which was situated on Little River near what is now the settlement of Wildwood. Confiscating the mill, the soldiers ground grain brought in by foraging parties for the use of the army. Hear- ing that the enemy was near Straw- berry Plains, north of Knoxville, the corps moved in that direction, and spent a most disagreeable three weeks, without baggage, with no change of clothes for either officers or men. often sleeping on the bare ground in rain or (Continued on page four)

The enthusiasm and numbers at the pep meeting Thursday night were the greatest in several years. That's the kind of cheering our team will need this year if they are to attempt to overcome the many heavier and more experienced opponents they're scheduled to meet.

When we meet out there on the bleachers at our first home game next Friday night, it's up to the entire student body to follow the cheerleaders in making that team out there on the field feel like "fighting to the end." We've shown that we have the spirit when there's a roof over our heads ; out there the sky's the limit ! Come on, Scotties, lets go !

ABSENCE OF CRITICISM

One of the most marked of the campus improvements at this, the opening of a new college year, has been the absence of the atmosphere of criticism always evinced during the latter part of the year. Whether or not the many changes made here during the summer have effected this noticeable improvement in the temper of our ways is not the point to consider. The fact remains that as time wears on, monotony in- duces boredom, and work becomes to constantly with us, the tendency toward fault-finding overthrows enthusiasm for reform, and we whine.

This year promises to be one of progress toward the ultimate goal, the perfect college. Changes made by the administration should be supplemented by initiative and by mature, thoroughly considered stu- dent judgments. Steadily advancing business conditions are also an aid to those working for improvements,

The band, up to now a relatively unimportant, short-lived organi- zation, its appearances confined almost entirely to the football games, affords an opportunity for the first energies in the new year. A new director, filled with enthu- siasm, and fresh from triumphs with similar organizations, needs only to be supplemented by a group of interested, cooperative students to make the band the pride of the Hill.

The Echo itself begins the semester with hopes of rewriting its poorly organized constitution with an idea toward additional services to the student body. The Student council proposes changes in school administration tending toward a more unified student family and a more efficient man- agement of student affairs.

A newly organized Fine Arts department, with the introduction of majors in the fields of expres- sion and music, makes possible the broadening of the curriculum and the acquiring of more and diver- sified talent among the students.

These improvements must not be accepted as a matter of course. The spirit of cooperation and en- thusiastic interest prevalent now, as we begin the new year, must not die.

Ministerial Meeting

Well Attended Tuesday

The 1936-37 activities of the Minis- terial Association got under way Tues- day evening when twenty-eight men met in Anderson hall. The gathering was in the form of a get-together, get- acquainted type, the old and new men recounting their vacation experiences and the new men giving their names, addresses, and church affiliations and activities. This general informal meet- ing, presided over by Evan Renne, president of the association, will be followed by a regular meeting next Tuesday evening, the program for which has not yet been released. O

It seems that the prize for the week should go to the lordly sophomore, who was heard to growl in the dining hall about the "syndicated whipped cream."

Mention should be made of the fact that through oversight the name of Leland Waggoner, activi- ties editor, was omitted from the masthead of last week's Echo. Apologies are due this faithful member of the staff.

Arrangements have been made for establishing an exchange desk in the college library, where copies of the Echo's exchanges will be placed for the use of anyone interested. The table at the left of the door, as one enters the library, will be devoted to such a purpose in the future.

If any student wishes the Echo to exchange with a publication not now included qn the list, such arrangements could be made through any member of the staff.

Those students living off the campus may have their copies of the Echo by calling at the col- lege post office.

Maryville College Man

Wins in Horse Show

Horace Brown, member of the sopho- omre class, brought credit to himself and his school Wednesday night at the Blount county horse show.

Showing with some of the finest show horses in North Carolina, Ken- tucky, and Tennessee, Horace won a first place and a second place in the event with his saddle horse, Dixie Chief. Next week he will again vie for monejj and ribbons in the Sevier county fair in Sevierville.

During the summer months the horse was kept in trim condition through the giving of riding lessons to many young people in Maryville.

Student Volunteers Meet

Three members of the freshman class whose parents are missionaries will ad- dress the Student Volunteers to- morrow night. The three people are Miriam Berst from China, Betty Seele from South America, and John Fisher from Persia. The meeting will be held on the lawn behind Thaw Hall. Special music will be presented. Everyone in- terested in Christian missions is invited to attend this service.

Dr. J. Kelly Giffen, new professor of Bible will be the speaker at the weekly meeting of the Ministerial association on Monday night. Last week a large number of new men were present and became acquainted with the old mem- bers of the organization.

The evening prayer meetings at 7:15, under the leadership of Mrs. Snyder, have been well attended and have proven popular among the girls of Pearsons hall.

Yielding at last to our long and in- sistent importunities, the editor has granted us kind permission to embellish this page occasionally. We are grate- ful and promise to be good.

Since the Compleat Critick comes as somewhat of an innovation, we believe a definite explanation of our purpose is essential. Being the nineteenth of September in a presidential year, we can well call it our platform.

1. We believe that in the field of letters in general and contemporary literature in particular there is much of interest to the more serious student. We shall bring some of it to his at- tention from time to time.

2. We believe that too much cannot be said in appreciation of those few great artists who come to us each year, and that some more tangible tri- bute should be made than applause.

3. We believe that Maryville's artis- tic, musical, and dramatic activities de- serve more recognition than the ad- vance notices which have usually been their share in the past. We shall try to give credit where credit is due in the artistic enterprises of the school.

In short, we shall be a sort of clear- ing house of comment on the arts at Maryville, and we hope you'll like us.

Incidentally, contracts for the artist ,eries are being signed this week. We wish we could tell who, but our lips are sealed.

Dr. Knapp Visits Alumni Society

Sees Scientific Exhibits In California

M Club to Elect Offcers

The M Club will begin its regular meetings on the first Monday in Octo- ber. The president, Leah McGhee, how- ever, intends to call a special business meeting before that time for the pur- pose of electing officers to fill the vacancies left by girls who did not re- turn to Maryville this year.

The club is composed of girls who have earned 400 points or more in the point system program, and its aim is to maintain a high standard in women's sports.

Dr. Knapp, Professor of Mathematics, was the guest of the Maryville college club of Southern California during the summer. Dr. Knapp received an invi- tation from the club in the summer of 1935, but because of illness was unable to accept. He had, however, as he says, a "more than marvelous" vacation in that state this year, and the following letter from the secretary of the club was addressed to the Alumni associ- ation here for its interest and records. "Dear Friends:

"Since the Alumni Association has shown considerable interest in our plan to bring Dr. Knapp to California as the guest of the Maryville College Club of Southern California, I have thought that you might like to have a short account of his visits here. I have delayed so long, however, in carrying out this intention that you may already have received details of his visit from our guest himself.

"Professor Knapp arrived in Los Angeles on Friday morning, July 26, after stopping in Arizona to visit the Grand Canyon. It had been arranged that he was to make his headquarters in Pasadena at the Las Encinas Sani- tarium, where Dr. Ethel Fanson is a member of the staff; so Mr. Phillips, the president if the club, who met Dr. Knapp at the station, brought him to Pasadena shortly after his arrival.

"Several graduates of Olivet college, where Dr. Knapp taught before coming to Maryville, live in this vicinity, and this group arranged a luncheon in his honor on Saturday. During the follow- ing two weeks Dr. Knapp was a dinner guest in the home of one of his former Olivet students who lives in Eagle Rock, and another former student took him on a two-day trip to San Diego.

"Our Maryville group held a dinner meeting in Dr. Knapp's honor at the University club in Pasadena on Thurs- day, July 2. We were disappointed in the small number present, as several whom we had expected to have with us were obliged to send regrets. Each guest found at his place a post card view of some building on the Maryville campus and a pennant sticker in the college colors, brought from Maryville by Dr. Knapp. A felt pennant hung above the table, and the college colors were further carried out in the flowers and in crepe paper decorations. Dr. Cooper was asked to introduce Prof. Knapp, although only three of those present — Mr. Goodner, Mrs Phil Sheffey, and Mrs. Peters — had not known him at Maryville. We were

We, the officers of the Maryville College Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation, hereby notify all concerned that no one will have the authority to charge goods, services rendered, or the like, to the organization without a written order which must be signed 1 y at least three of the four executive officers.

all delighted, of course, to have Dr. Knapp with us and to hear him tell, in his own inimitable style, of the many changes which have taken place at Maryville since the most of those pre- sent were students there. After ids talk, the majority of the gathering spoke briefly, recalling experiences of college days and paying tribute to Dr. Knapp as teacher} friend and neighbor. A letter from President Lloyd was also iead. Arrangements were then made to show our guest some of the places of interest in Southern California, and each person present was given an opportunity to put in his "bid" for a part of Dr. Knapp's time.

"Of special scientific interest were the Mt. Wilson Obesrvatory, the Griffith Park Planetarium, and the California Institute of Technology. At the latter no classes were then in session and most of the buildings were closed, but Dr. Knapp was able to see the huge lens which is being ground for the new telescope. The Pasadena Community Playhouse provided dra- matic entertainment in "Pericles" and "Coriolanus," as the summer Shake- speare festival was then in progress. Dr. Fanson also took Prof. Knapp to Los Angeles to see Katherine Cornell in "Saint Joan." The Huntington Librarian and Forest Lawn Memorial Park, where "The Last Supper" is re- produced in stained glass, also proved worthy of attention. The Coopers and the Belts took Dr. Knapp to Catalina Island, and he spent a day in Long Beach with Mr. and Mrs. Peters. He was also a guest in the homes of Dr. and Mrs. Cooper, Dr. and Mrs. Belt, and Mr. and Mrs Goodner. The ex- tensive grounds and the quiet and se- clusion of the sanitarium provided an opportunity for the pursuit of one of Prof. Knapp's hobbies, the study of birds. We had hoped to have him see the Pilgrimage Play, attend at least one of the "symphonies under the stars" in the Hollywood Bowl, and see something move of the scenic beauty of California, but he insisted that he must leave on the morning of July 13.

"I think that Prof. Knapp enjoyed his brief -visit in Southern California. The first few days were marred by the fact that he lost his glasses on the train, but Dr. Cooper telegraphed to his brother-in-law, Dr. Burchfield, for the prescription, and by the following Tuesday Prof. Knapp was fitted with a new pair of glasses.

Cordially Yours,

Edith W. Moore."

We had the pleasure of watching the boys off for Lexington yesterday morning. Hunting up Coach Honaker shortly before the bus pulled out, we asked the mentor for a final statement. "Want an obituary?" grinned the coach. "Well", and he examined the pavement carefully, "we'll be lucky if we get out alive." We think he was joking a bit. But, all* in all, the team that faces

the Wildcats this year is a far different one than the

eleven that lined up on Stoll field a year ago. We sort of think that the score will show evidence of this im- provement.

They All Come Back

After the letdown your scribe re- ceived last week when Jack Dunn, last year's frosh flash, decided to go to Teachers after all, it was a pleasant surprise to find "Junior O'dell out looking over the field this week. Junior's punting last year was one of the better things about Highlander football. We're really looking for something out of the boy this season. And, incidentally, his return completes the roster of varsity men who will be treading hardwood and aiming at the hoop not so far hence.

Preview

Hiwassee who invades Wilson field for the Scotties' first home game next Friday, starts their season with the Eagles of Carson-Newman this week- end. The scores of this game, compared with the score of our game with Hiwassee should give a fairly certain

figure on what we will be able to do to the Eagles this year. Try figuring it out!

Superior Officer

We underwent a pleasant surprise this week when the shining face of our long-suffering sports editor of two years back looked in upon us. We remember the excuses that we wore out on him, in an effort to evade editorial disapproval. We always wondered why they didn't go over until we started hearing the some ones from the noveate sports scribes under our wings. It all clears up now.

By the way, we offered Mr. Mea- dows an opportunity to write a guest column this week. He smiled and thanked us, but declined. Guess we'll have to do our own work.

Gay Pretense.

On looking over the weekly ink- blots of Yorick, we find that we are accused of everything from being pro- Landon to being a Hoosier. We refuse to enter the political scramble, but being called a Hoosier, with such an adjective, cuts us to the Quick, (and I know where it is, Yorick, you old villain). After all, I am a Hoosier, and Indiana isn't such a bad state — to be from.

Captain and Manager;

Meets Sought

With four old veterans returning and some promising freshmen out for prac- tice the fencing club gives indication of upholding its record as one of the premier fencing teams of Tennessee intercollegiate and amateur fencing circles.

The Scottie foilsmen who return are Bill McGill, Bob Brandriff, George Felknor, and Jack Mahaney. At a meeting last Monday night, Bill Mc- Gill, the squad's most experienced foilsman, was elected captain, and Bob Brandriff was named manager.

The new leaders are doing their best to arrange matches with any and all schools which have fencing teams and are close to Maryville.

Efforts are also being made to ob- tain a fencing class in the physical education department so that everyone who is interested in fencing might have a chance to learn the fundamen- tals.

At the present, the members of last year's team offer to teach boys who are interested in fencing on Monday and Saturday nights at 9:00 p.m. in Bartlett hall. The first of these practice sessions will be held on Monday night, September 21.

SQUAD ROSTER

Six Veterans Return To

Cross-Country Squad;

Prospects Good

A look into the records of past games with the University of Kentucky re- veals that the oft repeated Maryville- Kentucky grid tilt was, more than once a thrilling, close-matched game.

Because recent scores are so one- sided, it could easily be imagined that the mix-up was no more than a warmer for the UK Wildcats. Such has not always been the case.

Back in 1907, twenty-nine years ago, the Maryville Scotties held Kentucky to a 5-2 decision. According to the observer, the Highlanders missed win- ning by the proverbial hair.

"What we needed," the reporter wrote "was a 10-lb. higher average weight in the line." That weight would have meant victory.

The available records jumped from there to the year 1923, when the Scots fell 28-0 before the Kentucky Wildcats. That season, the captain of the High- lander team and the terror of the the opponent's line were one and the same— big Bob Thrower.

An enthusiastic sports scribe writes of that year— "no longer do the Wild- cats regard Maryville as a warm-up team They schedule us as late as October 20."

The year 1927 was the jubilee year of Maryville-Kentucky football, as far as the Scots were concerned. Trotting out on Stoll Field at Lexinbton the usual underdog, the Highlanders push- ed, shoved, battered and rammed to a 6-6 tie with the Wildcat eleven.

A jubilant Scottie sports writer wrote

inregard to this— "Up around Lexing- ton the name of Horace Clemens is still softly spoken . behind perfect interference, he ran 20 yards around end for the tying touchdown."

In 1929 and 1930, the Scotties lost both of their annual Wildcat tilts by large scores. Suffering a dearth of material, they fell in '29 to the score of 40-0, and in '30 by the score of 57-0. In both of these years however, the Honaker men emerged with excellent Smoky Mountain Conference records.

Winding up the 1931 season as Smoky Mountain Champs, the Highlanders suffered but two defeats in 10-game schedule. These losses were inflicted by two Universities; Tennessee and Ken- tucky. That year the Scots left Stoll Field on the short end of a 19-0 score.

"The actual score of the game" writes a Maryville scribe, "Was by no means indication of the fight put up by Maryville. Several times they miss- ed scoring by inches."

After the 1931 season, the Scots fell steadily under the play of the Wildcats. In '33 they brought back a 46-2 de- cision. The following year, a 42-0 score was filed against the Honakermen. Last year brought defeat by the largest score ever inflicted on the Scots by Kentucky. The season-opener of 1935 fell to the Wildcats by a 60-0 margin.

Remembering all these things, then, it seems certain that, when the time comes again, Coach L. S. Honaker will invade Stoll field, and renew the memory of fighting Highlander elevens in the mind of every Wildcat fan.

YMCA Sports Schedule

Dr. Briggs, Scot Grid Star

Recounting his days at Maryville, Dr. Briggs, new head of the psychology department, described to an inquiring reporter what he termed "the big- gest thrill of my college life."

For three years Dr. Briggs, who was graduated from Maryville in 1919, play- ed right tackle on the varsity High- lander squad. The incident that he re- counted occurred on Wilson field in a game with Mississippi A. and M. On the team the Scotties were facing two all-Southern men, one of them named

Bobo. Dr. Briggs' thrill came when, on three successive plays, he broke through right end, throwing the Miss- issippi star backfield men for a total loss of fourteen yards, a feat which paved the way for Maryville's sole touchdown. The score at the close of the game was a 7-7 tie. Dr. Briggs can still recall the feeling he had when the Echo, which was founded in his freshman year here, appeared the next day with his name blazed in the head- lines.

(Continued on page four)

The plans for the annual sports schedule of the YMCA have been com- pleted, according to an announcement by the athletic directors of the Y this week. This year's schedule is one of the most complete and interesting pro- grams ever offered by the Y.

Under the present plans, an athletic program to be carried out during the first semester includes a mixed doubles tennis tournament, touch football, cross country run, and a golf tourna- ment. The second semester continues the athletics with basketball, wrestl- ing, boxing, swimming, track, baseball, golf tournament, and spring mixed O

Like getting black eyes, you can't win success unless you fight.

A present squad of twelve men is rapidly rounding into form for the annual Cross-Country competition.

Injured only by the graduation of Stuart Snedecker, one of the greatest distance runners of the south, the team has bright prospects for the coming season. Six veterans have returned to form the core of the 1936 squad.

Those returning are Talmage, Baird, Rugh, Meares, Wood, and Orr.

The opening meet of the season, the Y. M. C. A. run will be held here November 13.

Hiwassee Here For Home Opener

Returning from their jaunt into the Bluegr4|s country, our Scctties begin their home season in earnest on Wilson field next Friday night, when they meet the Hiwassee gridders of Coach D R Youell.

The brand of opposition offered by the Madisonville junior college boys is expected to be a welcome relief after the clawing which Kentucky will ad- minister today.

Coach Honaker stated this week that, while the Scots are in poor shape for the opener at Lexington, "the boys should be ready to play football after another week of practice."

Hiwassee opened it's season last night, suffering a 0-14 loss at the hands of the Carson-Newman Eagles. Youell's team was hit doubly hard by the injury of Captain Joiner, who is not expected to be ready for action against the Highlanders next week.

Scottie Eleven Opens Against Wildcats Today

Kentucky Host to Honaker

And Men in Opener

At Lexington

Coach L. S. Honaker and twenty-five men left here shortly before noon Fri- day for Lexington, Kentucky, where they open the 1936 grid season against the Kentucky Wildcats.

Although completely satisfied with the showing of the Scots to date, Coach Honaker held no hopes for a spectacu- lar game this year. "Our job is to hold them down as much as is possible," he said, "and I believe we'll be able to account for ourselves."

The players making the trip are: Alexander, Coulter, Kosloski, Jenkins, Cochrane, Hall, S. Taylor, T. Taylor, Tulloch Burns, Falkner, Proffitt, Propst, Cooper, Renfro, Baird, Burris, Craw- ford, Etheredge, Kindred, Overly, Odell, Swearinger, Wilborn, and Widner.

Coach Honaker was uncertain of the opening lineups, he said. However, he announced that the staiting eleven will probably be: Ends, Alexander and Coulter; tackles, Cochrane and Tulloch; guards, Proffitt and Propst; center, Cooper or Renfro; quarter, Swearinger; halves, Crawford and Baird; full-back, Overly.

Overly will call signals for the eleven, Coach Honaker said.

UNCLE.- AZARIAH'S MAIL BOX

'Note: Uncle Azariah is a busy man. Writing his autobiography for the en- lightment of posterity, preparing an invaluable paper on the influence of modern art upon the interior decora- tion of the Alaskan igloo, and sending postcards to homesick sailors in the Hawaiian Islands— all these noble acti- vities keep Uncle Azariah very busy. Nevertheless, the good Uncle is willing, even eager, to help any worthy indivi- dual who finds himself in need of in- fallible advice. Since Uncle Azariah is at present seeking the missing link in the most primitive regions of New York City, send all communications by

first-class tom-tom)

Dear Uncle Azariah:

According to the pyramidologists, we reached the King's Chamber" of the Great Pyramid on September 16, and "great changes'* are about to take place in the world. What's your opinion, Azzy?

Dear Perturbed:

The pyramidologists miscalculated by a month or so. The "great changes" took place last summer. For verifica- tion, see Pearsons new lobby.

Dear Unk:

May I call you "Unk"? I'm worried. The way in which my roommate swings himself in and out of the top bunk in our bed reminds me of a big ape I used to see in the zoo back home. I hear you're looking for the missing

link; so I'm keeping my room-mate locked up in the closet pending your arrival and investigation.

Suspicious Dear Suspicious:

Think nothing of it! For thousands of years Man has been becoming more and more Man and less and less Animal. Now, however, we have com- pleted that cycle; mankind is on the descent. Your roommate is merely one who has already reached the ape stage. New York City is full of such cases, but I can't tear any of them away from their saxophones and drums long enough to study them. * » *

Dear Uncle Azariah:

I am somewhat distressed by the fact that on several ocasions I have actually seen objects in my room which looked conclusively like crawling in- sects (ugh! horrid words!). What can I do?

Nauseated Dear Nauseated:

Why not look at the situation scien- tifically? Interest youself in the little visitors. For instance: do you know how many legs you must pull from a centipede to make him limp? The world about us is full of interesting facts. Learn some of them, and you'll wel- come your six-legged guests. Other scientific facts are just as engrossing. For example: what made the Tower of Pisa lean? That's right — a famine. See how easy it is?

DIARY OF A COLONEL

snow. Those who have weathered a Maryville winter can readily realize the hardships endured.

On January 17, 1864, the outposts of the army began a skirmish with a body of Confederates. Vague reports drifted back to the Union army. The next day the fighting grew sharper. That evening, the army, fearing that a large force of men was attacking them, fell back to Strawberry Plains,. Still not knowing the strength of the enemy with whom the outposts were skir- mishing, the army became panic- stricken and fled, burning their bag- gage and destroying a bridge over the Holston River.

Reorganized, only to find that a very small force of Confederates had been driving them, the army went into win- ter quarters at Maryville on a knoll "on the north of town in a very nice place." According to information avail- able, the army when here camped on the knoll back of the present site of Fort Craig school. For three weeks the army was in comfortable winter quar- ters in Maryville. On January 28th, a part of an entry read — "it is a nice town and good country." On Sunday, January 31st, Lt. Col. Claggett went visiting among the natives and found them quite congenial, for he says he spent the day "very pleasantly." The entry of February 6th also reflected well upon Maryville. "We complete our camp and now have splendid winter quarters — men all in fine spirits — ". The army remained here until Febru- ary 16th, when they were ordered in pursuit of the enemy.

From then until the middle of April, the army searched in vain for the rebel forces which continued to strike isolated spots throughout East Ten- nessee. Many amusing entries may be found concerning this expedition. Not the least of these is March 21st, which reads in part "it is Sunday and the girls here in Rutlidge all have their good clothes on and their faces washed

this is a uood place to stay at".

Fourteen Students Plan Honors Work

The taking of honors work at Mary- ville is one of the highest achievements, and also perhaps one of the least heard of on the campus.

Students of the graduating class who have had an average of not less than B in their major field, and not less than a C plus in other subjects may select a project in their major interest. Work along this line is much like work on a thesis Li a graduate school, and a thesis is usually presented at the com- pletion of the work to show the re- search made during the year.

Six hours credit is usually given for the work, but it is possible for a stu- dent to receive a greater or lesser number hours of credit.

In this year's senior class there are fourteen members who have been ac- cepted to do honors work during this year. They are: Mark Andrews, Bible; Marcella Ardern, home economics; Joan Dexter, French; Shirley Jackson, Mary Lawson, Bernice Gaines, English; Charlotte King, biology; Dorothy Leaf, chemistry; Wilkison Meeks, physics; Dorothea Stadlemann, German;

Blanche Webb, religious education; Alma WhifTen, biology; Josephine Winner, chemistry; and Helen Wood- ard, sociology.

Famous Resorts

An Echo reporter found fertile material in interviewing various stu- dents about their vacation activities.

Clara Dale Echols, this year's treas- urer of the Y. W. C. A., traveled in Mexico for two weeks, stopping at Mexico City and taking shorter trips from there. Miss Echols was especially interested in the archeological activi- ties at Teotihuacan, where several tem- ples and pyramids of the Aztec and pre-Aztec tribes have been uncovered.

Simpson Spencer, editor of the 1937 Chilhowean, spent his vacation "hop- ping bells" in a hotel at East North- field, Massachusetts. He "carried suit- cases, climbed mountains, and went swimming."

Lillian Crawford spent seven weeks of the summer seeing America first. She visited the Centennial celebration in Texas, went through New Mexico to the famous Carlsbad caverns, and on her way through Arizona saw the Grand canyon. From Los Angles she visited Long Beach, Catalina island, and Hollywood. On her return trip she spent three days in Yellowstone park.

Dailinc Andrus. whose home is in Los Angles, made a live-day visit at the home ol a friend in Bridgeport, Ohio after commencement. She travel- ed a part of the distance from Bridge- port to Lincoln, Nebraska, on the famous streamlined train, the Burling- ton Zephyr.

Queener Plans Freshman Debating Tournament

Sixty-seven prospective freshman debaters met with Prof. Verton Queener in the philosophy class room last night to plan a series of classes in public speaking. The debaters decided to meet in two classes, one on Monday at the D period and the other at the E period.

The classes will meet throughout the semester and will end with the try- outs for the team, to be held at the beginning of the second semester. Tryouts wil be on a question to be picked by the classes.

Prof. Queener anounced that he was trying to organize a debate tournament for freshman teams of four year colleges in Tennesese to be held at Maryville. He has already written to a number of colleges about the tourna- ment, but has not yet received any answers.

organize into a permanent trio. Since that time they have almost uninter- ruptedly had a part in the success of the entertainments on the Hill.

Calista Palmer, one member of the trio, as president of Bainonian, will formally welcome new girls and pledge their support for the society. Her election to this office last spring cli- maxed three years of popularity on the campus. She has been especially active in the musical activities of the college, and has served one year as president of the Women's Glee club.

The distribution of favors and the reading of greetings from graduated members of the society will close the program, and also Bainonian's week of welcome.

that others will come in later. There is a wider selection of instruments than heretofore, with an unusually strong section of stringed instruments. No more trumpets are needed, and saxo- phones will not be used in the orchestra. However, someone is needed to play the cello which will be sup- plied by the college.

It is the opinion of Mr. Colbert that some exceptionally good material has turned out, and that with proper co- operation the orchestra this year might reach high degree of excellence.

There will be practices twice each week. Tryouts will be held on Tues- day evening, September 22. Anyone who has not tried out, but who is in- tersted in being in the orchestra is urged to come on Tuesday evening and bring his instrument.

Popular Junior Elected Sponsor Of College Band

Band Chooses Reba Blazer

at Pep Meeting; Cheer

Leaders Elected

An enthusiastic crowd at the pep meeting on Thursday evening elected three new cheer leaders, while the members of the band selected Reba Blazer, attractive junior, for band sponsor. The new cheer leaders are Wilson Leathers, Russell Steven- son, and Harold Wickland. They won out over seven other as- pirants, including Reba Blazer Warren HUditch,

Ed Mac Nicoll, Ralph Vineyard, Bill Wood, Frank Pons, Glenn Young, and Bill Karukus. Bill Young, who handled the pep rally, is the head cheer leader.

The band members elected Reba Blazer band sponsor, choosing her form a field of six girls nominated by the three upper classes. The other girls were Juanita Stephens, senior, Joan Dexter, senior, Helen Miller, junior, Mollie Comstock and Kim Avery, sophomores.

The band, under the direction of Mr. Ralph Colbert, made a distinct hit with the students , playing a number of snapppy tunes. Dick Woodring, capable drum-major, handled the band in fine style during two of the numbers. The numerous favorable comments of the students concerning the band indicate that Mr. Colbert's fine work is being appreciated.

Notice To Student Workers

Time sheets for all work done on college time for the month of September must be in the Stu- dent-Help office on the morning of Thursday, October 1, in order to be included in the payroll.

All N. Y. A. time sheets should include work done through Sat- urday, October 3, and should be turned in at the Student-Help office on the evening of that day. The Government does not allow us to include any time on the payroll except that of the current month. If a student's report is not turned in promptly, it will be necessary for him to lose that time. All succeeding periods for N. Y. A. payrolls will end on the third day of the month.

We shall appreciate your co- operation in helping us to make our payrolls promptly.

Sixty Men Leave For Annual Hike

Answering the call to the wide, open spaces, about sixty boys left this after- noon for Thunderhead in the Great Smokies on the annual fall hike of the Y. M. C. A. The trip, originally plan- ned to Lake Santeetlah, was changed because of the low water at this season.

The group of sixty is subdivided into six groups, each acting as an inde- pendent unit, and each having a leader. The leaders are Weldon Baird, Dave Brittain, Dick Schlafer, Ray Nelson, Ralph Hand, and Fred Young.

The boys will camp tonight at the bottom of the mountain, and after a worship service early Sunday morning, they will climb the rugged and barren Thunderhead. Here they will cook the last of their three meals, made more appetizing by the keen mountain air, and flavored with the tempting and exhilarating tang of wood smoke and pine needles. The boys will return to the campus late tomorrow afternoon.

Y. W. C. A. Perfects New Year's Plans

Sub-Committees Function in Y Activities

The Y. W. C. A. is rapidly perfect- ing plans for an active year. Kay Reed and Louise Orr, program chairmen, have not yet completed arrangements, but they have decided to devote several Sunday meetings to discussion of various topics of interest to college women. Later in the year round table discussions may be held.

The world fellowship committee un- der the direction of Helen Woodward will sponsor a campus peace group. The athletic committee has already announced through its chairman, Emily Watson, a mixed tennis tournament to be organized in cooperation with the Y. M. C. A. There will be a women's tournament, in addition.

Social service work, which forms an important part of Y. W. activities, is already under way. Women under the direction of Ruth Proffitt entertain children at the orphanage at weekly meetings. Additional social work is carried on at the Sunnybrook mission on Mondays and Wednesdays, when Ruth Kort Kamp and Joy Pinneo direct a Girl Scout troup, and Mary Chambers and Sue Lupton conduct a story and game hour. Curtmarie Brown is mission chairman of the Y. W. C. A.

All women are urged to make use of the Y rooms, in Thaw hall, which are open daily from breakfast to supper time. Chaperoned parties may be held there with the permission of Mrfc. Snyder.

With the personnel of the men's and women's glee clubs complete, the two organizations began practice this week. At some time this year the clubs, assisted by the choir, will present the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, "The Midako," according to the plans of Mr. Colbert, their director.

Both organizations have a member- ship considerably larger than they have had in the past. The men's club is com- posed of thirty-seven voices; the women's has thiry-nine members.

Donald Hallam, president of the Glee Singers, is also president of the Alpha Sigma society. He served as business manager of the Glee Singers last year. Mr. Hallam is an influential member of the Social committee, and was elected this week as a senior re- presentative to the Student council. Other officers of the club are Wilson Leathers, busines manager, and John Magill, assistant business manager.

The members of the Glee Singers are: Charles Blair, Lynn Curtis, Edwin Goddard, Robert Cusworth, Donald Hallam, Donald Killian, Robert Koch, Wilson Leathers, William Lewis, Hart- well McCollum, John Magill, Wilbur Parvin, Henry Swain, Richard Wood- ring, Carl Wells, Glen Young, Gerald Beaver, George Brown, George Bulgin, Jack Clinkman, Ralph Hand, Allan Hinkleman, Floyd Loperfido, Edmund Lorenz, Lawrence Lowe, Donnell Mc Arthur, Robert McKibben, Clayton Marx, Jack Meigs, William Moody, Ray Nelson, Robert Rankin, William Rath, Ralph Reed, Evan Renne, Harry Rice, Lloyd Wells.

BROWSING PRIVILLGL

By J. T. HUNT

After being closed for a period of ten years, with but occasional openings at commencements, the museum in the northern end of the library is now to remain open. Immediate plans call for a complete rearrangement and fuller cataloging of the exhibits. Many geo- logical and biological specimens not yet catalogued or displayed will soon be ready for exhibition.

Containing many interesting and valuable relics and curios, the museum stands as a fine tribute to the work of Dr. Wilson, through whose constant work and ever growing enthusiasm much of the material has been obtained. The collections were gathered over a period covering scores of years, but were not assembled until about ten years ago.

The collections are not restricted to a narrow representation of countries

and civilizations, but contain major foreign exhibits from Africa, the Phillipines, Japan, Syria, Persia, Greece, and China. Most of the material has been presented by missionaries, former students, and other friends of the college.

The exhibits in the northern corner of the library reading room give an indication as to the value and interest to be found in the museum proper. Here are not only exhibits from China and India, but also various papers re- lated to the history and development of Maryville college. For instance, thero are commencement programs dating from 1848, of which class Pro- fessor T. J. Lamar was a member. Pro- grams of the Beth-Hacma and Beth- Hacma Ve-Bereth, two ante bellum societies in which Dr. Anderson and Professor Lamar took part are avail-

Echo Staff Adds Two Sophomores

At a meeting of the Committee on Student Publications on Monday after- noon, Curtmarie Brown and Fred Rhody, sophomores, were elected to fill the vacancies left on the Echo staff by the failure to return of Doris Woodwell and Virginia Allen. Miss Brown and Mr. Rhody have both had previous experience in journalism, and bring to the staff new possibilities for news and feature writing.

The committee, composed of three groups representing the faculty, the student body, and the Echo staff, voted to eliminate all but four of the appli- cants for places among the associate editors, allowing Mary Haines, Helen Woodward, J. T. Hunt, and Walter West to participate in two more weeks of tryouts. Two of these four will be selected, finally, to fill vacancies on the staff.

Preliminary trials are under way now in the English classes, giving all fresh in the English classes, giving all fresh- men an opportunity to secure a place in the final contest, which will be held within two weeks. The Echo constitu- tion provides places for twelve fresh- men, six women and six men, to serve as apprentices to the staff.

At a similar meeting on Monday afternoon, four men were selected to act as assistants to the business mana- ger. They are: Robert Gillespie, William Wood, Arthur Byrne, and J. N. Badgett.

FROSH DEBATE CLASSES BEGJN

The Social committee, composed of four faculty members and six students, met Wednesday evening, September 23, and began formulation of plans, ac- cording to an announcement made by Don Hallam, chairman. There are un- der discussion several projects which should be of special interest to the student body, as indicative of progress in the social life of Maryville college. At the request of Alpha Sigma, the Social committee will sponser a series of community sings to be held on the campus on Saturday nights after the society meetings. John Magill will have charge of the sings. The first of these affairs is to be held on Saturday even- ing, October 10. The sings will continue until cold weather prevents their be- ing held outdoors. If, however, they prove successful, they will be con- tinued in the spring. In addition to these weekly sings, there are tentative plans for nightly group singing in Pearsons lobby after supper from 6:30 to 7:00 o'clock.

One of the most interesting projects, the committee has worked out is that of having formal dinners once a month on Saturday evenings, with some form of entertainment following, if no other entertainment is already provided. The first of these will be on the evening of October 3, with an As You Like It after the society meetings, which will be brief. It is the hope of the com- mittee that the student body will sup- port this plan.

Classes Elect

Council Members

Ashby, Pro Tem. President, Directs Organization

More than thirty freshmen reported to each of the debate classes held by Professor Verton Queener on D and E periods Monday. Assignments were made and some instruction given in the theory of debate.

The selection of a question and the proper wording of the proposition will be the first thing studied by the freshman classes.

The elections for membership in the student council, one of the most in- fluential organizations on the hill, took place Wednesday. The council was >rganized in 1923 with the intent of wringing a medium of communication between the students and the faculty, and because of its particular relation to both, stands well to be one of the most powerful organizations in the college.

Members of the group are elected from the members of the various classes, the senior class electing eight, the juniors six, sophomores four, and the freshman class four.

The senior members of the council for the year 1936-37, are Ralph Ashby, president pro-tem, of Livingston, N. J., and a varsity member of the High- landers football team, Don Hallam, Tom Bryan, Charles Luminati, Calista Palmer, Helen Woodward, Kathryn Quass, and Lillian Crawford.

The closest election was held in the junior class with the three men elected receiving 42 votes each, and the next in line having 41 votes. Robert Gillespie, Edward Gillingham, and Bill Collins were elected. The women elected in this class were Helen Ma- guire, Ruth Haines, and Jean Cross.

The sophomore class elected as their representatives Jean Brand, Eunice Wilson, Ernie Enslin, and Wando Colombo.

Freshmen elections for the council will be held in about a week or ten days.

AVON PALYERS TO RETURN

The Social committee will sponsor the return of the Avon players to Voorhees chapel on the evening of October 14. Last spring the perfor- mance of this group in Shakespeare's "Othello" was well received here.

This year tttf players will interpret "The Merchant of Venice."

Scheduling of Events

Public events of interest to all students or to large groups of Students such as concerts, plays, athletic contests, recitals, debates, and the like are to be arranged for by a request for entry on the College calendar which is kept in Dr. Hunter's office.

Social events, parties, banquets, picnics, and the like are to be arranged by consultation with Mrs. Snyder, who will consult the general calendar of events and, if the date requested is open, will assign chaperones and approve the place for the event.

Requests for all events must be made and properly approved at least five full days before the event is to take place.

Theta Rush Week Ends At Program In Gym Tonight

Jewel Box Theme Carried

Through Programs

For New Girls

To close a week of social activities, Theta Epsilon will have her formal opening at the Alumni gymnasium at 8:00 o'clock this evening. Throughout this week the new girls have been entertained by Theta in her annual rush week program, with the central theme this year being a jewel box. On Tuesday afternoon more than 120 girls were the guests of the Theta Epsilon society at an informal tea in the Y rooms, "Le Bijou Costume Boutique." At this tea were presented jewels from the fashions. The jewel idea was con- sistent throughout the entertainment.

On Thursday afternoon Theta's jewel hunt in the college woods was attended by the new girls who divided into groups, each provided with a map of the various "trails." The groups, each in charge of an old Theta mem- ber, followed different trails, but in the end all gathered at the big picnic grounds for a box of jewels, welcome in the form of refreshments. The group which arrived first at the ap- pointed place will receive a prize to- night at the opening progiam.

The jewel theme will be carried out

again tonight with the formal opening

Opens Series Nov. 12;

Hofmann Follows

By GEORGE McMlLLAN

A world-famous pianist and two Metropolitan Opera stars signed yester- day for concerts this winter at Mary- ville college.

Josef Hofmann, approaching per- fection as a pianist, Julius Huehn, leading baritone at the Metropolitan Opera, and Anna Kaskas, contralto and first-place winner in the 1936 audi- tions of the famed opera company, comprise the list of Maryville's annual Artist Series, Prof. George W. Howell, in charge of the series, announced today.

Hofman, a director of the Curtis School of Music in Philadelphia, will make a special trip south for his ap- pearance here on February 24. He has no other engagements in this section.

Huehn will be the first to appear, with a contract signed for a concert on Nov. 12. Miss Kaskas has signed to appear on April 17.

Hofman a Child Prodigy

A piano prodigy, Hofman has been giving concerts since he was a child. He was born in Poland in 1876 and came to this cpuntry for the first time in 1887 for ft concert tour but was compelled to abandon it by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. He returned to this country a few years later. • i

Olin Downes, music critic of the New York Times described Hofman's mastery and power as lying "in his power to recreate the wonder of a masterpiece". "He does not do this", Mr. Downes explains, "by some trick or meretricious effect, but he comes always nearer the innermost secret of great music."

In addition to his genius for the piano, Hofmann is also a well-known composer, having written a symphony and a number of orchestra suites. Huehn a Leading Baritone

Varsity Debate Class

Holds First Meeting

Thirty-two upperclassmen, including five of last year's varsity debating team and six former freshmen debaters, met in the philosophy class room Tuesday night to form a varsity debate class. The class planned by Prof. Verton Queener and the officers of Pi Kappa Delta, Helen Maguire, Dick Schlafer. and Virginia Pennington, will carry two hours of credit.

The hours of the class, decided by popular vote, are to be seven o'clock on Tuesday evenings and the E period on Wednesdays. On next Tuesday Don Hallam will deliver an oration, and Bill Alston, Mark Andrews, Marcella Arden, Lois Black and Charles Bondurant will discuss different phases of industrial organization of labor. The question to be discussed was chosen by Maryville for the national debate topic for this year. Speeches will be of five to seven minutes' duration.

Two weeks from Tuesday the pro- posed presidential campaign will be held with the various debaters up- holding their candidates, and will be open to the public. The campaign will probably be extended to take up two Tuesday class periods.

According to Professor Queener, the class will be organized like a literary society with regular officers and will be conducted according to regular parlimentary proceedure.

Recognizing the increasing lack of interest which has characterized the society during the past year, the new administration of Alpha Sigma is un- dertaking a new and complete program of activities for its members. Initiative of several Alpha Sigma officers is re- sponsible for the idea of the com- munity sing to be held under the sponsorship of the social committee on October 10, with John Magill as leader.

Alpha Sigma plans this year to co- operate with Theta Epsilon, Bainonian, and Athenian in conducting inter- society competition in orations, essays, and athletics. A committee will soon be formed for the selection of a play to be given as Alpha Sigma's part in the annual Midwinter series.

Besides president Don Hallam, and John Magill, other men working on various phases of the new program are: Wilson Leathers, O. M. Teague, Charles Luminati, Bill Alston, Howard Wick- man, Bob Gillespie, Spen Spencer, Ted Gillingham, Ed Lavender, Bruce Mor- gan, and Ray Nelson.

An all -freshman program has been planned for next Saturday's meeting, followed by the get-together announc- ed at the "watermelon sing" last week. All new men are invited to attend.

THERE'S something about a football game that needs a band to set it off; and there's something about a band that puts that old spirit into both players and spectators. Last night's opener was something to make every heart tingle, and the band had no mean part in its success.

Let's support the band ! We need it here, more than we need a great many things that we waste time whining about. It's greatest necessity is for additional talent. Come on, all you who whistle, or toot your horns, let's show the real participating spirit ! The whole college is behind you. What more could you want?

WE MARYVILLIANS are pitiably self centered. There's something about our college life that makes us forget there is an outside world. We become so narrow that we know no wars except our own petty fueds; we know no political campaigns except our own corruption ; we know no great inventions save those which are useful to us here ; and we know no love, except that for our fellow students.

What about those few minutes a day it takes to ac- quaint oneself with world affairs? From what can we secure the impetus toward taking the trouble to become good conversationalists? A man needs the self confidence that comes from knowledge. Let him not confine himself to trivialities, but let him learn of the world through its daily trends.

ARTIST SERIES

To the freshman and new students at Maryville this year, the news of the coming artist series possibly means very little. Its importance, however, can scarcely be over- estimated. It is more than a group of programs offered for the amusement or diversion of the student body. The series occupies a significant place in the curriculum of every student here.

The cost, which is rather considerable to outsiders, has been included in our college bills, with the idea that no one may be prevented from hearing some of the great figures in the musical world because of enforced economy which might otherwise preclude all "extras."

A liberal arts college which turns out scholars and scholars only has failed in its duty as an institution of learning. The development of a rich cultural background is probably more important to a happy life than any more materialistic or formal type of instruction.

In realization of this fact, Maryville college long ago instituted its artist series. It is only wise that we take full advantage of it.

FELLOWSHIP CLUB

The most truly freshman men's organization, the Fellowship club, held its annual election of officers this week. Befor this, officers of the Y. M. C. A. have aided in the programs and in organizing the group. Begining with next week the freshmen will have com- plete charge of their meetings.

The club is sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. for the purpose of aiding new men in getting acquainted with each other and with the ideals of the school.

Officers for the coming year are: president, Thomas Schafer, vice presi- dent, Richard Smith; secretary, William Mooney; program secretaries, Glen Young, and Earl Tweed.

CAROLINA CLUB

At an informal meeting of the Carolina club it was decided to change the time of meetings from the Wed- nesday evenings of the first and third weeks of each month to the second and fourth weeks. With many new students the club is expecting a very large mem- bership.

All members are urged to be pre- sent at the meeting on Wednesday evening, September 30, at which time officers for this semester will be elected.

M CLUB

The M club will hold its first meet- ng on October 5. Officers will then be elected to fill certain vacancies, and plans will be made for a project for the year. Last year the club pur- chased uniforms for junior and senior point system teams.

FRENCH CLUB

At a meeting of officers of the French club on Tuesday evening a revision of membership requirements was dis- cussed, and also a plan making the ad- vantages of the club available to new students and others wishing to be- come members. It was decided to limit the membership to thirty students.

All meetings are to be conducted in French, and it is hoped that the speak- ing of English in the club will soon be- come foreign. Studies of the various interesting sections of France and also the French-speaking districts in our country and Canada, will be on the evening of Wednesday, October 7, at which time plans for the annual fall picnic will be completed.

GREAT WESTERN CLUB

The Great Western club will hold its first meeting of the year this com- ing week. Election of officers will be held and the plans for the year will be made public at that time.

Mrs. Snyder is the guest this evening of the group of students who sit at Janet Talmage's table hi the dining hall, at a picnic in the College woods.

With only a brief interval for ap- pearance with the Boston, Cleveland and Philadelphia Symphony Orchestras, Huehn came direct to the Metropolitan from the Juilliard School of Music where he held a fellowship. He reached Julliard only after working as a boiler-maker to finance a college edu- cation in engineering.

Contralto Wins Auditions

Anna Kaskas is comparatively a newcomer to the Metropolitan. Her rich contralto voice enabled her to win their 1936 auditions. She joined the opera company immediately, and sang in "Rigoletto" and "Caviallera Rusti- cana." She was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut but moved to Hartford at the age of 15, at which time she entered the Hartford conservatory.

After two years of study in Hart- ford, Miss Kaskas journeyed to Lithuania for further study. She made her debut at the Lithuanian Govern- ment Opera House, then went to Italy on a scholarship for more extended experience.

More detailed announcements of the series will be made at a later date, Prof. Howell explained. Tickets will be sold in Knpxville.

THE SPORTS EDITOR

Highlander football is definitely on the upswing !

Inaugurating the 1936 home season under the arcs of Wilson field last night, Coach Lombe Scott Honaker's fighting Scotties overwhelmed a game but outclassed eleven from Hiwassee.

It would be impossible to list all the instances of flashy intelligent playing that were displayed last night. Suffi- ce it to say that every Scot gridder that entered the Hiwassee tussle showed a brand of football that is a joy to the heart of every grid fan.

OVERLY CRAWFORD

And so we come to the naming of those that seemed to shine a bit. It seems to us, in view of the score — and who

made it — that Captain Corky Craw-

ford and Jack Overly merit more thantt20_odd men JJ played againgt £ a little mention for their fine •»*. fcottki WOUM Wthw h«V« bMtt OMrW

Two touchdowns apiece, countless runs ' in every quarter, and fine spirit

throughout the game. We present — Corky and Jack!

Faults? .

Of course there were the inevitable slips, fumbles, and early-season mis- haps that marred the playing of the Highlanders last night. These mistakes are always a part of the first games of the season. The manner in which the Scots pulled themselves out of every hole showed a spirit and generalship uncommon in early-season tilts.

Gooder'ns

Somehow we simply can't go on without spending some time discussing the merits of those Highlander aces. There was "Mayor" Cochrane in the line. Hiwassee might as well have bucked against a corner of Thaw as this 200 lb. bulwark. And when he tackled — he smeared. Add to this the booming punts that rose from "Junior" O'Dell's toe, the brilliant end play of Bruce Alexander, and the scintillating running of the Scots' supposedly weak backfield and you have an idea of the kind of organization that Hiwassee faced last night.

Game Boys

And the Lions of Hiwassee turned out to have the kind of calibre that bespeaks champions. Any one of those

off the field than walk off. A few of them proved that. Obviously missing the support of Captain Joiner, who didn't even make the trip, the Youell- men put up a stubborn resistance from the opening whistle to the last line-up. The injury jinx has depleted the Lion's forces, but it hasn't hurt their spirit in the least.

Apologie

The editor of this section wishes to apologize hereby for the 20 pound in- justice done to "Blondie" Kindred in list week's Squad Roster. Due to an error, Blondie was listed as a 150 pound gridder, and has been hearing about it ever since. So have we.

However, since it's all in print, the best we can do is to congratulate Kin- dred on his 20 pound gain this past week. It wont happen again.

SHOE SCRAMBLE

The annual frosh footwear race was run last night between the halves of the Hiwassee tussle.

Contrary to previous procedure, the feminine element threw their escort's shoes into the jackpot, and the usual melee ensued. Dave Brittain, guiding light of the event, termed It a huge success. Who succeeded is uncertain.

MENS NET TOURNEY

The men's annual fall tennis tourney will swing into action today. A total of twenty-nine entrys has been recorded. Prizes will be awarded to the winner, runner-up, and the winner of the consolation round. This is the first year that the Y. M. C. A. has awarded prizes in this event.

Ed Gillingham, captain of the Scotties' tennis team, is seeded num- ber one. Colombo and Meeks, mem- bers of last year's team, are seeded numbers two and three respectively. The number four seeded player is Morrow, a freshman who may be the dark horse of the tourney.

Ken Van Cise, supervisor of the tournament, requests that all first round matches be completed by Mon- day, September 29.

Both Colombo and Gillingham drew byes and automatically are in the second round.

The finals will be played on Sat- urday, October 3, at 3:00 p. m.

One of the freshman cheer leaders sprinting for the goal, while everyone else grabbed for shoes.

Dick Lowe looking lonesome after some one claimed his date to hold shoes.

Dan Remine being hailed by the whole crowd at once.

Bob Clemmer looking quite at home with a cow bell.

Dr. Hill Shine, professor of English, was an athlete in his under-graduate days at the University of North Caro- lina. He was also a member of the boxing team.

The worst bankrupt in the world is the man who has lost his enthusiasm.

Gridders Face Tusculum

Next Friday, October 2, the Scots face their third foe in the form of Tusculum college, at Greenville, Ten- nessee.

Comparatively little is known of the strength of the Pioneer aggregation, but advance reports indicate a heavier line and a light but fast and shifty backfield. This, coupled with the de- termination of the Pioneers to avenge last year's loss, should make the game one of the season's most interesting encounters.

The Highlanders, riding on a crest of the victory over Hiwassee, are out to repeat last year's 24-0 victory over Tusculum.

With five old men as a nucleus the Maryville cross country team, led by Roy Talmage. approaches the 1936 sea- son with promise of a good year.

The squad which has been limbering up for the past week returns Baird, Rugh, Mears, Orr, and Talmage from last year. Newcomers are Baird, Chandler, Savitsky, Wood, Lorenz, Short, Reede, Fisher, and Mooney, the

I last five of which are freshmen.

The schedule which is incomplete, calls for two meets with Tennessee,

'one here on October 30 and a return engagement at Knoxville on November 7. These dates are Homecoming days for the two Schools. Another meet will be held here with Lincoln Memorial, with the time as yet un- decided. One of the features of the season will be the Y. M. C. A. Cross Country run to determine the school champion. It will be held on November 13, with the finish to come between halves of the Maryville-King foot- ball game. The successor to the title vacated by Stuart Snedeker's gradu- ation will be known after this race. The individual strength of the team

i will not be known until time trials are held next month.

Propst

One of the unhappiest men in the world last night was Guy Propst, whose injured side kept him out of the Hi- wassee melee. Guy received a knee in the side during the Kentucky game, and has been in the hospital list ever since. He's hoping now to be in shape to join the Highlanders-Pioneer tussle at Tusculum. We wish him the best of luck.

Flashing a brand of football reminis- cent of former great Scot elevens, Coach Lombe Scott Honaker's High- landers smashed to a 27-0 shutout over a stubborn Lion eleven from Hi- wassee on Wilson field last night.

Captain Lynn Crawford and Jack Overly split scoring honors for the evening, each man going over the dou- ble stripes for two counters. Overly added three extra points in four at- tempts at goal kick.

Uncertain of a method of attack throughout the opening lineups, the Highlanders quickly recovered, and under the signal-calling generalship of Jack Overly, started the first of their marches toward the goal.

Overly Scores First

The first score came late in the first quarter, when Cochrane threw a pass from the 40-yard stripe to Odell, who lateralled to Overly. Jack took the ball on a wide side-skirting run, and crossed the goal line standing up. Overly kicked the extra point to leave the score at 7-0.

The second quarter was a series of penalties called on the Highlander eleven, and both teams were unable to get within scoring distance. Change Style

At the opening of the second half, Maryville resorted to a plain line- bucking style of play that completely overwhelmed the injury-wteakened Lion line. Baird, Overly, and Captain Crawford did most of the ball-carry- ing in the opening plays

The second score came as a result of a line- bucking drive down the field. The Lions held desperately on the one- yard line, but the Highlanders were not to be denied, and Overly went through the line on the fourth down for his second touchdown of the evening. Jack then added the extra point for kick, raising the tally to 14-0.

Baird, Crawford, and Overly then started another line-smashing drive down the field, and after several changes of hands, the ball fell to Corky Crawford, who went through the line and over for the third tally. Overly tried for point but failed. The score at this point stood at 20-0.

Crawford Adds Final

During the last period, the High- landers were in possession of the ball for the majority of the time, but be- (Continued on page four)

Maryville is well represented at Vanderbilt university this year. George Greiner and Joe Andrews, both mem- bers of last year's graduating class, are enrolled in the medical school, while Ed Scott, Highlander tennis star of last year, holds a teaching fellowship there.

We are glad to see Catharine Pond and Clara Balcom out again. Both have been confined to the college in- firmary for several days.

The absence of Dr. McMurray this past week on account of illness is sin- cerely regretted by the student body.

SCOTTIES BLANK

(Continued from page three) cause of penalties, were not able to cenvert a drive into a score for quite a while. Following a blocked Hiwassee kick which Maryville recovered, Over- ly and Crawford again advanced the ball and Captain Crawford took it through the line for, the fourth and final touchdown. Overly kicked his third successful goal to raise the score to 27-0.

During the remainder of the final period, the ball was jockeyed between the two elevens, with neither being in a position to score.

Credit for outstanding play goes to Baird, Captain Crawford, and Overly in the backfield, and Alexander and Cochrane in the line. Sanderson was outstanding in the Hiwassee backfield, with Youell and Holliday holding up the Lion line in fine style.

Coach Honaker, chief coach of the victorious Highlanders, expressed him- self as "entirely satisfied with the showing the boys made."

BROWSING PRIVILEGE

(Continued from page one) able for the years 1845 and 1848. Also included are early programs from the contemporary societies, early diplomas, and blocks of wood taken from the Union academy, the predecessor of Maryville college.

An important part of the museum is the collection from the Phillipines, featuring intricately woven and de- signed fans, slippers, trays, vases, and baskets constructed from various types of grasses, door mats made of cocoanut husks, and hats made of hemp, bambo, and — a tip to the girls — squash.

And then there are — but only a visit to the museum will convince you of its interest, from the old fashioned foot- warmer to the pictures of the cham- pions in last year's sports.

Social Committee Plans

(Continued from page one) Social committee which the com- mittee deems wise to submit to the student body for approval, and that is the matter of paper napkins for the dining-hall. Mr. Black, the college business manager, has offered to pur- chase wholesale paper napkins to be bought by the individcal tables at a greatly reduced price. At many of the tables already the students take turn about buving paper napkins, and it is felt that the wholesale purchasing i will be a great saving. However, no one need feel forced to participate in this plan.

Great enthusiasm has been shown by the students for improved social activities, and with cooperation it is believed that the proposed program will be successful.

Professor Queener liked the choir's music in chapel one morning this week. He's going to use his DEBATE TEAM when HE leads chapel.

All we need now, is a vote to use the yell leaders on Coach Honaker's chapel interlude.

Free Clinic Service

Offered at Hospital

Maryville students will be able to take advantage of the free health clinic which is a yearly feature of the college health program. The clinics will be conducted on Mondays, Wed- nesdays, and Fridays from 3 o'clock to 4 o'clock, at the hospital. The doc- tors, all local physicians, will divide the time as follows: Dr. Gamble, Mon- day afternoons; Dr. Ellis, Tuesday afternoons and Dr. McCulloch, Friday afternoons. Students are urged to take full advantage of these clinics and the services of Mrs. Hall, college nurse, who is on duty at the hospital at all times.

Glee Club Membership

(Continued from page one) Constance Johnson as president, now in her third year of membership in the glee club. She has also been a member of the Vesper choir for the same length of time. She is secretary of the Class of '38 and of the Y. W. C. A. Her com- panion officers in the glee club are: Gloria Miller, business manager, and Katharine Adams, assistant business manager.

Membership of the Women's Glee club follows:

Louise Allen, Lillian Borgquist, Curt Marie Brown, Sadie Callahan, Helen Chambers, Mildred Erlingheuser, Ruth Haines, Doris Ann Hill, Melva Huckaby, Garnet Manges, Frances Nelson, Calista Palmer, Mary Patterson, Ellen Sauer, Ruth Sylvester, Amalyne Whaley, Katharine Adams, Marcella Arden, Harriet Barber, Helen Bobo, Eleanor Brown, Ruth Bush, Frances Campbell, Mary Helen Caywood, Mary Emory, Martha Farrar, Bernice Gaines, Marguerite Gray, Marion Huddleston, Constance Johnson, Margaret Knox, Marion Lodwick, Gloria Miller, Dorothy Roehm, Elizabeth Spahr, Vir- ginia Worth, Wilma Pechak.

On Tuesday evening, Sepftmber 29, the old members of the club will wel- come new pledges at a Melody Mas- querade in the Y. W. C. A. rooms. O

Theta Opening Night

(Continued from page one) will be expressed to the new girls by Kay Quass, Theta president, who is a popular member of the senior class, having been active in student activities throughout her three years on the campus. She was last year elected by the junior class as its representative in the feature section of the Chilho- wean, and has been active in various capacities on the hill.

At the close of the program, mes- sages from old Theta members will be read, and favors distributed. Theta's entertainment tonight closes her for- mal welcome to the new girls, but the welcome remains.

ECHOES OE THE PAST

November 4, 1915

The first issue of the Highland Echo on November 4, 1915, listed in its mast- head the names of J. Charles Walker, editor, and Pat Quinn, business mana- ger. An editorial entitled "The New Weekly," excerpts of which follow, set forth the needs for and purposes of a weekly paper on the campus.

"During the past ten years Maryville college has been growing by- leaps and bounds The increase of enrolment

is accompained by a marked advance of college spirit

"The need of a weekly paper, in which this college spirit could be ex- pressed has been felt for some time . . . For this reason, the editorial staff of the College Monthly has decided to offer to the student body a weekly publication.

"The name of the weekly is the HIGHLAND ECHO, and may all the news of Maryville college find an echo in it."

Friday, September 24, 1926

In a calendar of college events Mon- day, September 27, 1926, is designated as the "weekly holiday." with moon- shining from 1:00 to 3:00.

Tuesday, October 3, 1916

"The sudden death of Miss Margaret . Henry took place in Knoxville, Ten- nessee, on July 7, 1916." (Editor's note: Miss Margaret Henry held a position which is at present de- signated as Director of Student-Help- and was one of Maryville's pioneer spirits in the establishment of its stu- dent-help program.)

WRITERS' WORKSHOP

The first meeting of Writers' Work- shop, to which members are elected on the basis of their literary ability, was held on Monday afternoon at the home of Miss Keller on Bryan lane. Eighteen members were present at the meeting, at which Miss Keller served refresh- ments.

George Kent, elected chairman of the governing board of the Workshop at the farewell picnic last year, presided. Other members of the governing board elected at that time were: Miss John- son, Daphne Harris, and Shirley Jack- son. The feature of the meeting was a "down-east" original short story read by Miss Jackson, teacher of freshman English. The story was very well re- ceived and was made especially charm- ing by Miss Jackson's natural New England accent. The title of her piece was "Shore Duty."

The business consisted of the election of the membership committee which is to submit five names of juniors and seniors at the meeting next week. The new membership committee consists of: Dr. Hunter, Miss Heron, Bernice Gaines, and Don Stevens. It was de- cided to continue holding the meetings at four o'clock on Monday afternoons.
