Transcript: THE TECH ORACLE BOTH BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ CAGE TEAM PLAY GOOD GAMES OF BALL MILLIGAN WINS HARDFOUGHT GAME FROM TECH BOYS Score 28-25 Tech was defeated last Tuesday night by a 28-25 score, in the fastest game seen in many moons. The game was fast from the start, and the lead was swayed from one side to the other during the first half that period ending with Milligan holding the count 18-14. The Tech boys were unable to find the basket in the early part of the latter half, and the visitors had obtained a ten points lead before our boys registered a point. Our boys sayed a wonderful rally in the last minutes of the fray, and after all scored one more point than did the opposition in this period. Had it not been for erratic shooting by Clark Elount and Jobe, who missed several close shots each, there would have been a different story. The exceedingly rough play gave the larger Milligan boys a decided advantage. The visitors committed nine personal fouls, with Tech committing seven. Jobe and Payne received three of the personal penalties each, while not a man was expunged by the personal route. To Alcorn must go the credit of leading the play of the game. He guarded the basket in a style never before seen on a local floor. The visitors got only one shot from within the foul line, while our boys got several shots on the “follow up.” The visitors got many goals from near the center of the floor which we are inclined to call “luck,” while every pointed registered by our team was made after perfect passing had carried the ball well under the goal. Watson, Blount and Jobe all played wonderful games, while Witt and Payne were the stars for the visitors. Million showed some excellent dribbling, while his shoot()ing was a bit erratic. The visitors caged 12 shots from the floor, as against 11 for Tech. They covered four of eight free throws, against three of ten for Tech Payne was the high corer with 11 points, while Jobe and Witt were tied for second with nine each. Lineups: Tech Pos.

TOURNAMENT COMING FEBRUARY 19, 20, 21 The Tech Tournament will be played February 19, 20, 21. This tournament is expected to be an even greater success than last year’s event, a several new schools are expected to enter. Plants are being formulated to bring sixteen teams here for the event. This means that the heart, cooperation of every student and patron is necessary in order to put the thing over in a successful manner. The teams that participated last year are all coming back strong, and several new teams are expected to enter, which insures a keen brand of competition. Granville and Baxter, champion and runner up respectively, of last year’s tournament will come back with a fight, and the other team are each expected to show added strength. This tournament is sponsored by the Cookeville Lions Club, and that organization is in a large degree responsible for the success of the event. “T” CLUB REORGANIZES As a result of the meeting called by Coach Overall, the T Club has been reorganized at Tech. All students who have been awarded letters are eligible for membership in this club. The following officers were elected: Puckett. P.esident. football ’22, ’24, basketball ’22. LeFevre, vice president Football 21, 22, 23, 24. Shipley, secretary and treasurer. Baseball ’23,’24. Nice president LeFevre took charge of the meeting, and outlined a working program appointed a committee to draw up a constitution, and called for a discussion of meats whereby money could be raised in order to purchase gold footballs, for the football letter men of ’24 reason. It was decided to begin work on a negro minstrel under the direction of Miss Jobe in order to raise money on the football fund. This program will be presented within the next two months. After naming the date for the next meeting a motion to adjourn was carried. COACHES APPROVE CHANGES IN 1925 RULES Four recommendations for changes in the rules of football as they now stand were made last week in New York at the meeting attended by over 200 coaches of the game. The chief change recommended was that the kickoff should be moved back to the 40-yard line. This is to prevent kicking over the opponent’s goal line and the consequential of placing the ball on the 20-yard line, which has occurred all () too frequently this last season. The use are limited to four inches in heihi was also recommended. The coaches would also do away with the low of dowas when the deven ive ride in off ide. The ou chain e recommended was hat the rule on blocked kicks should be clarified and to make the head lineman and not the referee responsible for decreeing the rough in of the ick so that the referee will be free to leap closer watch on the ball as it is run down the field. Objections to the forward pass were not accepted by the coaches neither was the recommendation to prohibit a player on either side from running with a recovered fumble. The exponents of this rule that the man recovering should immediately ground the ball. These rule will likely be acted upon at the next meeting of the rules committee. Silence is golden, but the students in Tech’s library are not gold-seekers. DUMAS McCOIN 23 DIES OF BLOOD POISONING Dumas McCoin died January 14, at his home near Whitleyville, Tennessee. Mr. McCoin graduated from the Technical High School department of this institution in 1923. He spent three years here, entering the second year of the preparatory school in 1920. During this period he was loved by students and faculty alike and his unexpected departure is a cause of grief to all whose knew him. While here he took an active part in the work of his class organization and of the Sherwood Literary Society, of which he was a member. He served his society as treasurer and again as chaplain and his work in both offices will long be remembered. There are numerous other ways in which we remember Dumas, but time would fail us to mention them all. He is gone, yet he lives, for “To live in the hearts we leave behind Is not to die.” THE MANNHEIMER CONCERT Under the auspices of the Cookeville Music Club Mr. Frank Mannheimer, pianist, appeared at the City School Auditorium Friday night in a grand concert. Mr. Mannheimer is an able pianist and has appeared in a series of once it in the each during the last season. It was an honor to the music club and to the people of Cookeville to be given the opportunity of en in this master artisan in a recital here. His wonderful technique and masterful interpretation held hearers spellbound to the end of the program, and it seemed as though no end of encore would asf them. EAST TENNESSEANS ORGANIZE A group of enthusiastic students from East Tennessee met and organized an East Tennessee Club Monday, Jan. 26. Eight counties were represented as follows: Bledsoe –Juanita Montgomery. Lucile B. Lee Bradley –John M. Frazier Cumberland –Pauline Johnson. Martha Sedivak, Anna L. Roberts. Fentress –Roy R. Bagwell, Annie Lee Boles, Benton Cantrell, Furnice Minor, Metta E. Clark, Margarette Peters, Marie Peters, Ethel Smith, Effie Woods, Edgar Williams. Hamilton –Dan Bassett. Morgan –Frank Cheek.

It will try to present T.P.I. to the young people of East Tennessee in such a way as to attract them to its hall. Second it will make an effort to make the life of its members as pleasant and profitable as possible while in the institution.

DEFEAT DEUMBERLAND Score 22-15 On Friday night, Jan. 23, our girls handed the Cumberland girls the sting of a 22-15 count on the Cumberland floor. The game was clean and fast throughout, and plainly showed the superiority of our team. This was the first game our ladies have won, but we feel that they are now attaining their real form, and shall expect them to show us come real playing for the retained of the season. For Cumberland Misses Wesson and Ayer were the stars, while the entire Tech team played excellent ball Lineups. Cum. (15) Pos.

Lose to Normal 54-21 After defeating Cumberland our girls continued to Murfreesboro, where they were defeated 54-21. The game was fast and interesting despite the large score. It seems that the normal girls were playing inspired basketball. Misses Beasley and Marshall were the stage for Normal, while Shipley, Vaughan and Whitson starred for Tech Lineups. Normal (54) Pos.

Our girls lost to a superior team, and we are very well satisfied with their showing. We were doped to lose by 30 points, and the work of our entire team is really commendable. The Peabody girls have held the Southern championship for four years, and are rarely ever held to so close a score. The game was a credit to Miss Jobe, who is a former member of the Peabody team.

This is an event which depends for its success upon the cooperation of the citizenship of Cookeville and the student body of Tech. The schools whose teams will be here are the schools upon which Tech is mainly dependent for students to fill the places in her college department. It was for the ambitious students of these high schools that T.P.I. was created and it is for and with these students that we, who are already here, must work and become better acquainted. Let us remember our efforts of last year, and build upon that successful event, plans for a greater and better tournament. EDITING THE ORACLE Getting out this paper is no picnic. If we print jokes, folks say we are silly. If we don’t they say we are too serious. If we publish original matter they say we lack variety. If we published things from other papers, we are too lazy to write. If we stay on the job, we ought to be out rustling business. If we rustle business, we are not attending to our own department. If we don’t print contributions we don’t show proper appreciation. If we do print them, we are accused of filling up with junk. Like as not some fellow will say we swiped this from an exchange. So we did. TECH’S RED HEADS Twenty Red Heads of T.P.I. met Dec. 5, 1924, and organized a Flashy Red Headed Club. The following officers were elected: President –John Bell Vice President –Henrietta Jared. Secretary and Treasurer –Dimple Greenwood Sergeant-at-Arms –Harold Blount John Bell, our famous red-headed president, loves to talk, and when he becomes enthusiastic he reminds you of that famous redheaded bird that you see near the top of telephone poles, pecking in the holes for bugs. Yet he is some winner when it comes to a debating contest. The vice president, Miss Henrietta Jared, is a very modest, quiet girl, but her hair is of that variety of red that sends out a brilliant glow, and gives the boys fair warning that she has plenty of temper, and if you should rouse her temper she would let you hear from her by red hot words –like the sparks from an anvil. When this club of glowing red heads came to look for a secretary and treasurer they chose Miss Dimple Greenwood because she like the red headed woodpecker that stores away the beechnuts in a hole for winter, will put what money she gets in the bank for safe keeping refusing to spend any, but will continually pecking on the other red heads to make them pay their dues. Harold Blount, on account of his skill as a football player, was chosen as sergeant-at-arms for the reason we know that he will tackle anyone who tries to enter our club without a red head, and besides, his head is so red that it will serve as a beacon light to guide our red heads to the entrance of our club room. Oh, don’t you wish you were a red head, so that you could be admitted into our club, for we certainly are a mysterious club and when we meet our red heads give all the warmth and light we need, so that we don’t have to buy coal to keep us warm nor have to pay any light bills. It certainly is ridiculous to be a member of this wonderfully mysterious club. We are sorry for all who wanted to become red heads after we organized our club. But our sergeant-at-arms will admit no one but “Genuine Red Heads” We extend an invitation to all the red headed students now entering T.P.I. to become members of our club.

UPPER CUMBERLAND LITERARY SOCIETY A very interesting and enthusiastic meeting of the Upper Cumberland Literary Society was held on Monday afternoon, Jan. 25. The principal feature of the program was a debate, the question being “Resolved, That the Government of the United States should establish and maintain a national park in the Appalachian region of Tennessee and North Carolina.” The affirmative was represented by Hendon Johnson and Henry Ferrell; Smith Herbert Bracey, and Otto Masters argued for the negative. The speeches on each side showed much thought and study. The judges rendered their decision in favor of the affirmative. At the close of the program the house was in order for the nomination of our annual debators. L.B. LeFevre made a splendid speech nominating Benton M. Carr and John M Frazier to represent us in the annual debate. Each member of the society seemed to be of the same opinion as Mr. LeFevre in regard to whom should represent us in the annual debate. Both members are of exceptional ability and we feel sure they will bring us victory. BELLES LETTRES The Belles Lettres met in the Auditorium Jan. 19 1925.

The Y.M.C.A. was called to meet at the usual meeting place at the beginning of this term. The purpose of this meeting was to become acquainted with the new students and to let them know the things for which the Y.M.C.A. stands. Each student was given an opportunity to introduce himself and we had a real live meeting. As a result several became members and their cards were Descriptiond. Plans were announced and speeches made that the Y.M.C.A. meet regularly this term, and we believe we can make it the best year in the history of the organization. Y.W.C.A. The Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. gave a social Wednesday evening Jan 21, 1925, in the Auditorium of the Administration Building. An interesting program was given, which consisted of the following: Song Al’ Reading M.F. McDearman Song Male Quartet Vocal Solo Lillian Pointer Benediction Clyde Jackson After the program each person was asked to make two or more New Year’s resolutions for some friend that needed them most. Jimmie Miller was successful in obtaining the largest number of resolutions. The boys and girls were then matched, and they marched down into the gymnasium, where they played Japanese wine grab and Virginia gel. Later delicious refreshments wre served. There were quite a number of students present, and each one seemed to have enjoyed the evening very much. SENIOR HIGH CLASS The Senior High class has several new members since Christmas holidays. Every one had a big time Christmas and is now ready for work. The “bit” of work for the class during class meetings is small but hard to do. The attendance at these class meetings is not as large as it should be. The Senior plans to make this the greatest year of their school experience. Those who do not graduate will go to college though they will not receive a diploma. LOCAL SOCIETY Mr. Shipley Gives Dance On Friday evening, Mr. Alex Shipley entertained a group of students with a dance at the home of his parents on Willow street.

Out of town guests were Messrs Arnold, Smith, Mofield, Officer and Breeding of Livingston, and Ledbetter of Monterey. TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS 1. Come to school early so you can stand around in the hall and annoy the teacher who is doing hall duty. 2. 2. Don’t bother about being on time; it will give you indigestion to hurry to school. 3. 3. If you happen to be a Freshman, don’t register in any particular course, just skip around. It will help when you wish to graduate. 4. Don’t be courteous –someone might mistake you for a gentleman. 5. Whatever happens, don’t stop chewing gum or eating candy. The faculty might think the world was coming to an end. 6. Don’t forget to forge your parent’s name to permits. 7. Never study during school hours. You might get your lessons and the shock would be too great for the teacher. 8. Wander around as much as possible during the assembly period. It helps those who are studying. 9. Take your pencil and paper from any desk that happens to be near by. The owner’s father is, perhaps, a wealthy oil man. 10. Find fault with everything about the school. It helps you to make friends. What’s taxes? A baby that grows fast and keeps you awake at night, and gives you but little rest in daylight. PATRONIZE ORACLE ADVERTISERS. Poet’s Corner PESSIMISM The day is dark and very drear, And rain is beating down. A wind is threshing with a leer; Its power just newly found. I try to think; I find it hard. I have the blues I dread. My life with disdain I regard, I wish that I were dead. This life hardship and distress, With nothing here to gain. We labor thru to win success And find we lived in vain Some books I’ve seen on “Live Your Best,” But all are Greek to me I’ll live and wonder like the rest While time does onward flee. --Alex Shipley MY WAGE I bargained with life for a penny And life would pay no more, However I begged at evening, When I counted my scanty store For a life is a just employer, He gives us what we ask. But once we have set the wages, Why we must beat the task. I worked for a manial’s hire, Only to learn dismayed That any wage I had asked of life; Life would gladly paid. --Rittenhouse. A PHANTOM The twinkling stars are shining down, The earth is wet with dew; Illuminated heavens all abound In lights of fiery hue. A quarter moon is hanging low, And lucent is its light. The water of the lake do glow, Me thinks I see a sprite. It is the phantom of my love, As flits across the deep; It has the speed of flying dove, This image I will keep --Alex Shipley AT A BOOKSTALL I saw a boy with eager eye Open a book upon a stall, And read as he’d devour it all; Which when the stall-man did spy, Soon to the boy I heard him all “You, sir, you never buy a book, Therefore in one you shall not look.” The boy pass’d slowly on, and with a sigh He wish’d he never had been taught to read Then of the old churl’s books he should have had no need Charles Lamb THE HOME There was at one time in the world’s history but one place of living the home. In it all things were done and enjoyed. It produced what it consumed and consumed what it produced. Long ago that stage ended. There are now in the world two places of living for the larger part of civilized humanity –the home and the shop. The shop produces and the home consumes. In this it still stands for the primal home idea: the thought in that first beginning of home when it was but a hole in the ground to eat and sleep and hide in. all the beauty and sanctity and power of the home follow on this primal thought of security shelter; a place in which to take food and rest, and gather strength for outside use. It is at this point that the modern home falls of its main function, in that it persists in combining home and shop. Any form of persistent industry is foreign to the essential idea of home, the place orest. In days gone by the man’s home was the woman’s shop where in she perpetually demonstrated the old song: “A man’s work is from sun to sun, But a woman’s work is never done” Today we find very little evidence to base this saying on, The home is a most essential part of the world, not a different thing, yet our thought and modest of expression would seem to make it so. Civilization was born from the home. From the home it is renewed and out of the home must come the influence that will be the uplifter of mankind. --Hallie Ray. THE LEMONADE STAND By Lucile Cameron Robert Jackson whose nickname was Bob, belonged to the circus. He was ten years old and had light hair and blue eyes. He was a very lonely little boy because he had run away from home to join the circus since he had joined he had been very homesick. Bob worked at the lemonade stand. When business was not good his boss whipped him and would not give him any supper. He would never let Bob have a bit of lemonade. Bob usually stood at the lemonade stand with his hands folded, looking very downcast, and waiting for someone to buy. He was very fond of the little girl who was the bareback rider whose name was Irene. Every week when he got his pay he would give Irene a general set-up to candy, lemonade, and a popcorn ball. One wet, rainy day his boss gave him two pitchers of lemonade and told him that when he sold it, he would not have to self any more. There were not many people at the circus that day; he had a hard time selling his lemonade. It took him so long that he took a severe cold Mr. Rolf, who was the boss, was very angry when he heard this. Then when the doctor ordered Bob to stay in for a week, he was more angry than ever, for he knew he would lose the money that Bob made at the lemonade stand. Irene, who loved Bob as much as he loved her, said “I will try my luck at the lemonade stand while Bob is sick.” She sold more in one week than Bob usually sold in a month Bob wanted to change jobs with her, but of course, that was impossible. One night Irene had her back hurt very seriously. Now was Bob’s chance to pay her back. He said with determination, “I will learn to ride” Irene had to remain in a wheel chair for a year. She took charge of the lemonade stand and bob rode. He became very famous. When the time came for him to go back to the lemonade stand his fame went with him and he sold lemonade enough in two weeks to pay his fare home. He then left the circus and went back to his longed-for parents. WHAT MAKES A COLLEGE? Buildings and money are necessary for a college for there must be class rooms and dormitories. There must be money with which to equip the class rooms and laboratories and to pay the salaries which the teachers demand. With all this, however, the best equipped college can do little good unless there is a well developed college spirit. College spirit develops characteristics which can not be gained by hours spent in the class room. His life as a citizen depends largely on these qualities. They give a broader idea of his obligations to society. A college student is democratic, tolerant, cooperative, efficient, public spirited, and generous. A good college would therefore be one where men of all classes have equal opportunities to learn to study and to play. The spirit of a college body of that kind will not be so high as the ideals of the best students, nor so low as the alms of the poorest, but will strike an average. As in every democracy the students should aim at all times to raise this standard of college spirit. This spirit is tested daily. The men on the athletic field fight hard a game but they lose. A student body with a high grade college spirit keeps supporting the team until the last whistle blows. It is not that they won or lost which counts, but how they played the game. This applies to the class room as well. The examination is hard; the temptation to look on the other fellow’s paper is great, but remember, Honor is a great thing. A student must study as hard as he plays to attain true college spirit. What, then, is this college which is of equal importance with a well equipped college plant and well trained teachers? It is is working with a good will for the college, by working with and for all the men and all the ideals that make up the college. SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL CLASS The Senior High School Class met last Wednesday and elected Clifford Massa class representative. The order for class pins was renewed. The invitations were selected, and many other plans were made for graduation day. The class will sponsor a musical comedy by pupils of Miss Tennie Alma Stanton. GET ACQUAINTED PARTY The Palladians and Upper Cumberlands entertained the new students with a get acquainted party Jan. 10. In a very novel way the new students were introduced. Then all assembled in the gym, where games were played and the music furnished by the orchestra. At the close of the meting very unique refreshments were served, consisting of hambergers and lemon sours. Every member of the societies did their best to give the new students a good time. FUN Mr. Hatfield was scoring the hired man for his extravagance in wanting to carry a lantern when going to call on his best girl. “The idea,” he scoffed. “When I was courtin’ I never carried no lantern; I went in the dark,” The hired man proceeded to fill the lantern. “Yes,” he said sadly, “and just look what you got.” P.O. Hudgens: “Lee Sadler, who is your teammate?” Lee Sadler: “Dale Lee. Do you know him?” P.O.: “Yes.” Lee Sadler: “Well, you don’t know much.” Words and eggs must be handled with care. As eggs once broken and words once spoken are not the easiest things to repair. T.P.I. Tournament February 19-20-21.

Transcript: Girls’ Basketball Tournament February 24, 25, 26,1927 T.P.I. vs. Castle Heights, Tuesday Night, Feb. 15 Societies prepare for debate Question: “Resolved, That Labor Unions as they exist, are on a whole beneficial to the American people.” The century-old labor question will again be brought into forensic prominence at Tennessee Polytechnic Institute this year when the representatives of the Sherwood and Upper Cumberland Literary Societies meet in the annual intersociety debate on April 8th. The question as submitted by the Sherwoods to the Upper Cumberlands on last Tuesday reads as follows: Resolved: That labor unions, as they now exist, are on the whole beneficial to the American people.” The Upper Cumberland Representatives will announce their choice of sides of the question on February 10th. The Sherwoods will be represented by Stanley Carr, of Livingston, and Leonard Crawford, of Baxter. While the Upper Cumberlands are basing their hopes for victory on Robert Smith, of Winchester, and Paul Moore of Cookeville, Route 6. A loving cup is offered the winning team by Womack Drug Co. The society winning the cup three years in succession retains it as a permanent trophy. Home Economics Club Organized The students of the Home Economics department met and organized a home Economics Club. The purpose of which is to further the development of this department at T.P.I. and affiliation with the State organization, so as to better the conditions and increase the efficiency of the work throughout the state. Regular meetings will be held under the supervision of Miss Rose and Miss Johnson. The officers elected were as follows: President: Rebecca Johnson Vice-President: Eleanor Haile Secretary: Mary Della Pointer Treasurer: Jonny Bilbrey Spring Quarter Opens Mar. 14, instead of Mar. 4 An error was made in the general catalogue of the school concerning the date of the opening of the spring quarter, which will be on March 14 and not on March 4 as printed in the catalogue. Some additional instructors will be added to the faculty and several new classes will be organized at that time. A large number of new students are expected both at the beginning of the spring quarter and the spring short term, which will be on April 26. “Be an Optimist” A Great Success On January 28th, at the City School Auditorium, the Sherwoods and Belles Lettres Literary Societies gave the Baker royalty play, “Be an Optimist.” In spite of the rainy weather, there was a large and appreciative audience present. The play is dedicated by the author to “everyone, everywhere who is considered a grouch.” The many complimentary statements received by the young people who were in the play made them feel that they had a done a splendid service in removing any tinge of grouchiness that may have existed in the minds of those present. They appreciate the many congratulations they have received on the manner in which the various parts were presented. The characters were as follows: Isaac Golditch: Leonard Crawford Beck, His Daughter: Alberta Cassety Jimmy Maynard: W.B. Murphy Mrs. Clinton: Lena Breeding Mike: Hollis Ours Ray Hudson: Harry Burrows Miss Hull: Edith Gentry Maggie: Vallie Huddleston Ethel Peabody: Hazel Swafford Spencer: Paul Tidwell Madame Goopher: Ruth Weaver Direcotrs, J.M. Hatfield and J.E. Lane; chairman of publicity and business arrangements, Lester King; costume committee, Treva Cooper, Maurine Quarles. Palladians Entertained One of the most delightful social events of the season was that participated in by the Palladian society at the home of Miss Shelia Officer. Miss Officer, assisted by Misses Rebecca Johnson, Eleanor Haile, Elise Young, and Jessie Barnes entertained the members of the Palladian society with a card party on Saturday, January 29th, from three to five o’clock. Both were progressive bridge and rook were played, with Miss Mary Francis Whitson winning the prize for highest score in bridge, and Miss Virginia Wilcox for the highest score in rook. Delicious refreshments were served at the close of the afternoon by the charming hostesses. The party was heartily enjoyed by all. Moon-light cabaret minstrel Sponsored by football letter men and directed by Mr. T.W. Kittrell. Practice begun last Monday night January 3lst, on the Moonlight Cabaret Minstrel that is being sponsored by the football letter men. This Minstrel is being given to raise money with which to give each letter man a nice sweater. If you like a dry, uninteresting play, don’t see this Minstrel; but if you have good sides that can stand lots of laughter, don't fail to be there. The Minstrel book is a 1926 edition and this guarantees a new set of jokes. We are very fortunate in securing a very able director in the person of Mr. T. W. Kittrell. Mr. Kittrell as everyone knows, has had much experience in directing plays and al— ways makes them a great success. The following characters make up the cast: Director: Mr. Kitrell Interlocutor: B.M. Carr Sam: Oyama Winningham Melancholy: Robert Smith Pete: Gradis Winningham Jolly: Sewell Brown Buck: Merrill Hughes Clarence: Stanley Carr We promise you a good time, and we believe that you will get your money’s worth. The date and the price of admission will be announced soon. Watch for them. Be present, enjoy yourself, and help a good cause. Burritt College Co-Eds defeated by Tech Girls The Burritt Highlanders went back to the hills the other night following a humiliating defeat handed them by the Eagle Co-Eds, 45 to 2 on the local gym floor. The Preps also contributed their part of the big Tech night by winning with as much ease from Celina. High School to the tune of 45 to 22. There was very little out of the ordinary about the game itself. Had the Highlanders played a little better or the Eagles played a little worse, it might have been an exciting game, but as it was, we can only say that it was one of those uninteresting runaways. The line-up follows: Tech Pos. Burritt Thompson F. Northcutt A.P. Whitson F. Bell L. Whitson C. Simrell Hale G. Johnson Moore G. Drake Substitutes: Tech-Watson, Jared, M.F. Whitson, Whitaker, McCormick Burritt – Acuff Cumberland loses to Tech 28-18 Speed of Tech Co-eds make Cumberland Five Appear Slow. It was evident from the first few minutes of play that the visitors did not have a ghost of a chance, but the Co-Eds from Lebanon kept at it and gave the gallery something good to watch at different times during the struggle. They were obviously suffering from too much and too hard basketball squeezed into too few nights. The game was far different from the great runaway that the locals staged against Burritt College just a few nights before, but they had in their possession a decided margin on the score board all during the scrap. The line-up follows: Tech Pos. Cumberland Thompson F. Whitlock A.P. Whitson F. Alexander L. Whitson C. Vaughn Moore G. Smartt Hale G. Stockton Substitutes: Tech-Watson. Second game McDonald F. Sedwell Moore F. Wendell Greenwood C. Davis Matheney G. Hahnan Rich G. Gates Substitutes: Tech-Robbins, Cobb. Dr. Crume Makes Talk in Chapel On Thursday morning, January 27th, Rev. Sam Edwards and Dr. T.C. Crume, who is conducting a revival at the Baptist church, were present at the chapel exercises. Dr. Crume made a splendid talk on“Making Good in Life," which was enjoyed very much by the students. We were indeed fortunate to have a man of Dr. Crume's ability to visit our school and to give us such an interesting talk. Valentine Party On Saturday evening, February 12th, the Belle Lettres and Sherwood Literary Societies will give their annual Valentine Party for the student body. Elaborate plans are being made for entertainment and each and every student is promised an evening full of pleasure. B. G. B. U. Takes Victory from Take One could travel many a mile in any direction from any given point without seeing a slower game than the one between Bowling Green Business University and Tennessee Polytechnic Institute. Both teams labored under the handicap of it being a warm night, but it was, no doubt, Tech's night off. They would work the ball down the floor, through the scanty defense of the Businessmen and then miss a crip shot. The Eagles held the visitors very. Well during the first quarter but after that they simply couldn’t hit the hoops. They had all the breaks against them, too. Time and again the oval rolled around the loop, only to fall over the wrong side. Too, a number of personals were called on the locals and most of the free throws were made good by the visitors. The line-up follows: Tech Pos. B.G.B.U H. Evans F. Sledge Robbins F. Perisho Moss C. Williams Watson G. Weems Winningham G. Seale Substitutes: Tech – K. Evans (1), Jobe B.G.B.U. – Lewis, Stamper. Tech Preps Lose to Livigston The Livingston Academy basketball team defeated the Tech Preps 22 to 18, in the former gym, about a week ago. The Preps played ruggedly due to the lack of intensive practice. The line-up follows: Tech Pos. Livingston Vaughn F. Stonecipher McDonald F. Speck Moore C. H.Hinds Matheney G. Bone Rich G. D. Hinds Substitutes: Tech – Cobbs, Robbins Prep Girls Trim Carthage Displaying the same team work that has featured their play all season, the Prep girls continued their winning pace by defeating Carthage High, 47 to 7. The Preps took the lead at the beginning of the game and were never checked. Good passing and excellent teamwork featured the victory for the locals. Thompson, Jared and A. P. Whitson almost shared equal on the offensive plays. Carthage fought hard during the entire game but went unrewarded. In fact the defense of the Preps was so good that they only shot at the goal three times during the first quarter. The line-up follows: Tech Pos. Carthage Thompson F. Jenkins Jared F. Hughes A.P. Whitson C. Malone McCormick G. Armistead M.F. Whitson G. Webb Substitutes: Tech – Reagan, White, Starnes. Lebanon Five Beats T.P.I. Castle Heights ran roughshod over T.P.I. in their gym Saturday night, 35 to 14. The cadets took an early lead and at the end of the first half were leading 18 to 7. Burns for the winners, was the high scorer of the game. Robbins led the scoring for the Eagles. The line-up follows: Tech Pos. Heights H. Evans F. J. Martin Robbins F. T. Martin Moss C. Burns Watson G. Haley Winningham G. Dawson Substitutes: Tech – Vaughn, Cobb, K. Evans Castle Heights – Wood Algood Club The Algood boys and girls true to their home town tradition, form a band of united workers who loyally and faithfully enter into every duty that devolves upon them. This group of ten have organized into a club and elected as their officers the following. President: Jasper Harp Vice-President: Mary Della Pointer Secretary: Henry Mallory Treasurer: Odell Cornwell Senior College Class The Senior College Class were in charge of Chapel exercises Friday, January 21st. The program was planned to commemorate the life of one of the South’s greatest heroes, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. Because of a visiting minister, Rev. B. T. Watson, only one of the numbers was given, this being a splendid talk on the “The Life and Work on Jackson” by Mr. Benton Carr. Everyone expressed their appreciation by the splendid applause. College students have access to art collections Art loan collections valued at $100,000 for use in teaching art will be sent by the Carnegie Corporation of New York to 20 colleges in the United States and Canada. The collections consist of 1,800 reproductions in photograph and color facsimiles of the greatest works in architecture, sculpture, and painting; 50 original prints representing different processes and schools from the sixteenth century to the present; a set of textiles in 35 pieces illustrating materials and designs of different races and ages; and 200 books, many of which are rare volumes in French and German, as well as English, on the art of every period and people. Cabinets have been provided for the sets and a catalouge prepared giving a description of each piece in the collection. Seventeen colleges in the United States, representing 13 different States and 3 colleges in Canada, are the beneficiaries. All of them are smaller colleges without heavy endowments and located in places not easily accessible to metropolitan centers. Cooperative plan involves half-year alternations One semester each year for three years is spent in an industry as nearly allied as possible to their chosen line of work by students in the department of engineering at the College of the Pacific, Stockton, Calif. During the fifth year students remain continuously in college. This is said to be the only college west of the Mississippi following the co-operative plan of instruction, under which students are enabled, after the freshman year, to gain valuable first-hand experience in the work they expect to follow as a profession and at the same time to support themselves while attending college. College Friendship College friendship is a deep, quiet, enduring affection for our college association. It is affection arising from mutual esteem and good will. College friendship is essential to a successful college career, for the more friends we have in college, the more we get out of college life. It is the desire of every college student to become as popular as possible with his college friends. Popularity, being based upon friendship, depends upon the number and kind of friends we acquire. College life would be a drudgery if it were not for the friendship we establish. If knowledge was the only thing we could get at college, many students would drop out, or not even start to college that would otherwise graduate. Friendship when once established is hard to destroy. It is something you can not loose, nor can it be taken from you so long as there is mutual esteem and good will existing. A large part of our education comes through our college associates. By discussing a topic with one or more college friends we get their views, and thereby broaden our own conception. There are many ways in which we can develop friendship while in college. We can develop it by trying to appear pleasant at all times, regardless of the state of mind. Also by participating in athletics, musical clubs, dramatic clubs, college journalism, class social events, literary societies, alumni associations, and any other organization or function connected with college life. There are many religious organizations in which we may make friends, friends that are worthwhile. Friendship is one of the greatest acquirements during college life. While in college we make friends that will last throughout life. We meet the people that we will expect to help us in the time of need, and those to whom we will render aid. These are the people which we will always cherish. A student goes to college to acquire training in leadership which better enables him to render efficient service to society. Leadership is developed, principally through friendship, therefore the greater friendship is developed in an individual, the more service he is capable of rendering to society. There is nothing that will promote and increase a student’s love for his Alma Mater more than college friendship. It is not, necessarily, the college that holds a warm place in a college man's heart. It is the college friends, and sweet memories that composes the Alma Mater. There is nothing more satisfactory to an Alumnus than to relate the cherished memories of his college friends, and his Alma Mater. Many times positions are obtained through college friendship. A college graduate, when selecting some one to hold a responsible position, over which he has charge, will usually select an old college friend, because he has been tried, and he knows what his friend is capable of doing. The friendship of no one is more desirable than that of a college man, because he is to become a leader in society, a man among men, in the near future. Some of Tech’s Friends I take this means and opportunity of expressing the appreciation of the 1927 Eagle Staff to our friends who have purchased advertising space in “The Eagle.” They merit the patronage not only of our student body, but that of all friends of Tennessee Tech.

M. CARR, Editor. Y.M.C.A The Y.M.C.A. met in regular meeting room Wednesday evening, January 26th, and enjoyed a most delightful program. Each man took part in the discussion with zeal. The program was as follows: School-days: Wallace Mitchell Childhood Friends: Robert Smith School-day: Wallace Mitchell College friends: Paul Moore Friends in Life: B.M. Carr There has been good attendance at the Y.M. meetings, but there are men in the “halls” who should be in the Y.M. Come next Wednesday evening and help us while we help you make the best of our time. Upper Cumberland Literary Society The Upper Cumberlands are working hard to win the Wilson Banner this year, and furthered their plans by electing Paul Moore and Robert Smith the debaters, to defend the Black and Gold, with Benton Carr and James Carlen as alternates. Both debaters are experienced debaters and the society is looking forward to a winning team. The play “Be An Optimist" given by the .Sherwood and Belles Lettres was enjoyed and appreciated by the Upper Cumberlands and we wish to congratulate the societies and more especially the cast for their splendid performance, and we hope to help further this program by presenting, with the assistance of our sister society, a play in March. Watch Oracle for announcements. Making the Assembly Hour Interesting There is one particular form of sport that seems to be especially attractive to the students in this college; it is that of cutting assembly. So pleasant is this diversion that dire threats and unpleasant publicity are called into use as a means of preventing such untoward behavior on the part of the students in general. I am wondering if in this case cure might not be better than prevention and may we not suggest that with a little forethought on the part of somebody in the planning of assembly programs they might be made so interesting that the enjoyment gained from being at assembly would overbalance that derived from being absent, thus taking from the precedent established by the school authorities. In other words, speaking in the language of the teaching profession, the work should be made so interesting that the students will want to get it instead of punishing them for not wanting to get it as it is. The student goes to assembly after two hours of intensive concentration on work requiring the greatest mental effort. Following assembly he again takes up work of the same nature for another two hours, before the time comes for any break in his work. Viewing it in this light would it not be wise to make the assembly period one more or less of a recreational nature, thus giving an opportunity for relaxation from the strain of the regular class work. Physiologists agree that inhaling fresh air is one of the best ways to refresh a tired mind or body; therefore the assembly room should be well ventilated, It should be the special duty of some one to see that this is taken care of. Singing is one of the best methods of getting this fresh air into our lungs and is a good form of exercise as well, and is also one of the best forms of relaxation. Hence would it not be a good idea to devote a greater part of the period to singing than has previously been done. There is nothing that any group enjoys more than peppy enthusiastic singing in which each one may take part. The assembly program should also be of an inspirational nature and after a few minutes of relaxation a well -planned devotional exercise would mean much to the student body; an exercise into which the one in charge had put some original thought bringing out something different from the subject-matter presented in the class room. This would mean of course that upon some one would devolve the responsibility of seeing that every assembly program was definitely provided for with a leader in charge and that leader notified in time to allow him time for special preparation, If the student does not feel that he is getting enough from the assembly programs at present to justify his attendance, he should feel some responsibility in improving them. The primary object of all clubs, societies and other organized groups on the campus should be to minister to the college life in general. What greater service could any organization render than that of presenting an assembly program that would give enjoyment and inspiration to the entire school? Let’s get busy with our special programs then, and with faculty and student body working together let’s make the assembly hour the most outstanding hour in the day. Why shouldn’t it be? It is the one hour when the entire college gets together. When this improvement has been accomplished we will no longer hear the low rumble of criticism that is now leveled against assembly by the student body in general and the monitors can throw away their little white cards and enjoy the hour with the others. – Chalk Line Agriculture Department From time to time articles will appear on subjects based on the study of Agriculture. This is the second of this series and from them we get an idea of many practical things studied in the Agricultural Department. Clean Milk and Pure Milk Milk may be clean and yet not be pure. To obtain clean milk the following precautions should be observed: First, to have a well ceiled .barn to prevent dust and other flying things from entering the milk While milking; second, to keep the barn well bedded with dry bedding; third, brush the cow and clean the udder with a damp cloth before milking; fourth, a thorough process of cleaning the vessels that are to contain the milk; fifth, to strain immediately after milking through a brass wire strainer of not more than fifty meshes to the inch and three or four thicknesses of loosely woven cotton or woolen cloth. The vessels that it is strained in should be closed well. As far as looks are concerned the above described milk would be alright for use, but it may not be pure These further precautions should be taken to make the milk pure: First, to test the cows for diseases; second, to wash the utensils with hot alkali water, and if possible expose to sunlight two or three hours; third, pasteurize to kill germs. This is done by heating to 155 degrees F. for fifteen minutes and quickly cooling to 50 degrees F. This will not develop a boiled taste. It should be of interest to the dormitory students to know that the milk supply for the lining hall comes from a source where the rules to obtain clean and pure milk are observed. Virginia Offers Extension Teaching In Citizenship Citizenship instruction, through single lectures or short courses, is announced by the University of Virginia Assistance in arranging citizenship institutes is also offered local communities or organizations by the bureau of citizenship education of the university, which will furnish information on any subject in the field of citizenship and government. A short-course meeting presents popular demand in connection with the proposed reorganization in Virginia of State and local governments, embraces a general study of city, county, and State government, and includes public health, education, public welfare, and other activities in which there is State and local co—operation. Lectures will be arranged to suit local convenience, the only expense being for travel and maintenance of the lecturer while absent from the university.

Letter Found by Janitor While Archie, the janitor, was cleaning the rooms at Springbrook during the holidays, he ran across a letter. It was addressed to Mr. Leonard Miller, and read as follows:“My Dearest Leonard: “I said I’d never come back, but here I am.” You know that ”I shouldn‘t mind if you find someone new.” “But I do, you know I do.” Leonard, “I'd climb the highest mountain,” if I knew I’d find you there “sitting on top of the world.” "All alone,” I’ll go where you go and do what you do, “as long as I have you." “So how come you do me like you do?" For ”I love you truly," Lew, and “I’m sorry I made you cry” “all through the night." “But what can I do after I say I’m sorry}? “Dear heart I’ll see you in my dreams,” and “Memories" of “The hours I spent with thee,” make me wonder“where my baby is tonight.” “Sweetheart,” “I wish you were jealous of me,” “as jealous as I am of you,”“Because" it makes me “Angry” to think that you may be “Cheatin’ On-Me,” “My Own” where we have “a cottage small by a waterfall,” “then I’ll be happy," and “at peace with the word.” “Honest and truly," “I love you dear,” “but if you love me I’ll never cry,” so Black-bird, By-Bye. Farewell to thee “Till we meet again.” Thy Own, “Little" Lucy. —The Broadcaster. “Why do people cheat on exams?” Because they hate to “flunk out.” That is such an illogical way of reasoning. A degree is a proof of a person’s having passed successfully certain subjects. If you receive a degree and are a hopeless ignoramus, you become a laughing stock. It is better to know nothing with no pretensions than to pretend knowledge that you do not possess. “Cheating on exams isn’t clever; it is dishonest. To steal another’s brain work is as dishonest as stealing his books. When a paper is handed in the pupil. Whose name is signed to it is swearing that the work is wholly his own. A pledge is superficial—a person who signs h 3 name has signed the best pledge he can. Giving help is as bad as receiving, if not worse. There is a double weight of dishonor on the giver—his own and that of the receiver, who could not cheat even if he wanted to without the giver. “Cheating on exams is the most cowardly of all thefts because it involves the most inordinate of all human instincts, personal pride. The cheaters want to get something for nothing. They hate to fail an exam, regardless of the fact that they have made no preparation, because they hate to make a low grade when their classmates make “A.” They are ashamed to make “F" because others will find out, but they aren’t ashamed to look over a student’s shoulder and “copy." These people can see only as far as their noses—they cannot see how momentary weakness leads to genuine dishonesty. College age is too late to cure the cheating disease. It is a mental habit that grows by leaps and bounds when endured. The Dean’s solution—to expel those who are caught cheating—is about the only course to be followed. It may not eliminate cheating, but it will help rid the school of cheaters. This measure that provides two chances .for an offender is both wise and lenient. Stressing the point may make the practice less common, and people may see the error of their ways and mend them accordingly."—The University Echo. FINALE The longest trail has somewhere its ending; The sweetest day has its twilight of gall, When the Star of our hopes into darkness descending Fades and leaves but the black and the pall. The longest river finds somewhere its ocean; The tallest peak finds somewhere the sky. The sublimes faith and a whole heart’s devotion In the ultimate crux may perish and die. The rarest of flowers has its day of decaying, When its gospel of Beauty no longer it flings To the breeze, and its wilted petals are saying: “We’re dead—but we want no angel wings!” ——Vadus Carmack Tote Fair There’s an awful lot of happiness In this old world I find, If we think well of other folks And treat ’em middlin’ kind. If we meet and everywhere, We do the best we can There's a heap of satisfaction In just “toting fair.” There’s a powerful lot of gladness In being true to men, In carryin’ out your promises Every time—and when They don’t seem to appreciate it— Why, don’t you never care, You’re more ahead than they are By just “toting fair.” There’s rules' and regulations For being happy here But honest, you don’t need them And don't you never fear— You’ll be happy and contented If you treat your neighbor square, For the best way to be happy Is to just “tote fair." ——George P. Kissberger. Formal Instruction for Deans of Women Special course for training advisers of girls and cleans of women have been established in at least 24 higher institutions in the United States, as shown by a survey conducted by the National Association of Deans of Women. Courses vary somewhat in the different institutions. In 10 institutions courses in relation to the high school only are available; in 6, courses in relation to higher educational institutions as well as to high schools are offered. In others the particular field of interest was not stated. The dean of women is the instructor in charge in nearly all the institutions, and replies from 19, indicate that credit of from one to six semester hours is granted. From 50 to 70 pupils a year receive scholarships from the Nicaraguan Government for education in foreign countries, principally in the United States. Jokes Mr. Parsons: “When was Rome built?” Flop Tallent: “At night." Mr. Passons: “Who told you that?” Flop: “You did. You said Rome wasn’t built in a day.” A bright—eyed, shabby little fellow was working his way thru a Crowded street car selling his papers. A white—haired old gentleman seemed interested in the boy, and questioned him about his way of living and his earnings. It appeared that there was a young brother to be supported. “Jimmie is lame and can’t earn much himself," said the boy. "Ah, I see," said the gentleman“That makes it hard. You could do better alone.” The shabby little figure was erect in an instant, and the denial was both prompt and indignant. “No I couldn’t," replied the boy. "Jim's someone to go home to. He’s lots of help. What would be the good of having luck if nobody Was glad? Or of getting things if there was nobody to divide with?” “Fourteenth street!" called the conductor, and as the newsboy jumped out into the gathering dusk, the old gentleman remarked to nobody in particular: “I've heard many a poorer sermon than that.” An absent-minded man was strap hanging in a tram car. He swayed to and fro and finally the conductor said to him, “Can I help you, sir?” "Yes," said the man, ”hold onto this strap while I get my fare out.” Mable Matheny: “Sometimes you appear so manly, and sometimes you are effeminate. How do you account for it?” Willis Huddleston: "I suppose it is heredity. Half of my ancestors were men, and the other half were women." Servant: “The doctor’s here, sir.” Absent-Minded Prof: “I can’t see him. Tell him I’m sick.” Clerk: “The customer asks if this shirt will shrink?” Ikey: “Does it fit him?” Clerk: “No, it’s a size too large.” Ikey: Sure, of course it shrinks.” How much did Philadelphia, Pa ?

He’s an upsetter and a disappointment.” If we were asked what it is the most taxed thing in the world, our first guess would be – a mothers patience. “Oh, Ma, C’mere quick!” “What is it, Mary?” “Look, Johnny ate all the raisins off that sticky brown paper.” Do you discipline yourself as severely as you criticize others? Impatience causes as many failures as stupidity. An Englishman just returning to London from a visit over here, was very much impressed with our current slang phrase, “So's your old man," In telling his friends about his visit he said: ”They ’ave a very clevah saying over theya‘h jus’ now. When a man wishes to er— pun, so to speak, another friend. ’e simply says, “Your fawther is the same way. Haw, Haw! Clevah, isn’t it? Haw, Haw! A young minister, attracted by pretty Sister Grace, was dining with the family. Little Evelyn, aged 7, was talking rapidly when the minister was about to ask the blessing. So, turning to the child, he said in a tone of mild reproof, “Evelyn, I am about to ask grace.” Well, its about time," answered Evelyn. “We've been expecting you to ask her for a year and so has she.” High-School Alumni Aid worthy Students Student loan funds granted last year by the student benefit club, an activity of the Lansing (Mich) High School Alumni Association, enabled 13 girls and 8 boys to continue in school. A total of $2,250 was loaned to these 21 pupils. In the 15 years since the organization of the club 82 pupils have been aided. The principal of the fund now amounts to nearly $6,000. One per cent interest is charged until the pupil has been out of college one year, when it is expected that the loan will be repaid.
