___    ATHENS,  TN.  37303 


It  was  more  than  a  century  ago,  when  the  site  of  Athens 
was  trees,  dense  underbrush,  and  wild  flowers —  when  Nature 
was  the  supreme  ruler  of  our  campus  and  Natural  law  her 
golden    scepter,    that    Nocatula    Kowena    lived. 

Nocatula  was  the  beautiful  daughter  of  a  great  Cherokee 
Indian  chief,  Kowena.  She  was  betrothed  to  one  of  the 
bravest  young  chiefs  of  her  tribe,  but  Fate  came  between  the 
Indian    lovers, 

A  young  English  soldier,  handsome  and  lovable,  came 
to  the  wigwam  one  day  and  when  he  saw  the  beautiful 
Nocatula  he  loved  her.  Soon  Nocatula  loved  him  too.  One 
afternoon,  during  Indian  summer,  Nocatula  and  the  English- 
man were  roaming  through  the  woods,  when  the  Indian 
brave,  enraged  with  jealousy  and  hatred,  sprang  from  am- 
bush and  hurled  his  hunting  knife  into  the  heart  of  the 
English    soldier. 

Nocatula  was  desperately  unhappy  when  her  lover  was 
killed.  Frantically  she  seized  the  knife  from  his  breast 
and   plunged    it    into   her   own.    and    fell    dying   at   his    feet. 

In  keeping  with  the  tribal  custom  of  burying  the  be- 
trothed, Nocatula  and  her  lover  were  buried  where  they  were 
found  lying.  A  branch  of  hackberry  with  ripe  berries  on  it 
was  placed  in  the  hand  of  Nocatula,  symbolizing  her  womanly 
qualities  of  grace  and  beauty;  in  the  hands  of  her  lover  was 
put  a  twig  of  black  oak  with  ripe  acorns  on  it,  the  oak  sym- 
bolic   of    the    strength    and    sturdiness    of    young    manhood. 

From  these  seeds  sprang  two  beautiful  trees.  Their 
roots  intermingled,  and  their  branches  overlapped,  and  to- 
day this  same  oak  and  hackberry  stand  here  on  our  campus, 
so  close  together  that  one  would  think  that  they  came  from 
the  same  root  if  he  did  not  observe  the  difference  in  their 
barks   and    foliage. 

As  our  dear  old  college  has  grown  from  year  to  year, 
the  legend  trees  have  been  silent  sentinels — guards  by  day 
and  by  night.  They  cannot  speak  in  our  tongue,  but  some- 
how when  any  great  crisis  comes  in  the  life  of  the  school,  a 
breeze  stirs  their  branches  and  leaves,  and  a  low,  murmuring, 
ivhish  of  anxiety  and  interest  is  heard.  When  the  crisis  is 
passed,  the  low  anxious  whish  gives  way  to  a  soothing  blithe- 
some stir  of  approval  and  continued  love,  and  we  are  happy. 
The    silent    sentinels   have    seen    and    applauded.

The  Senior  Class  owes  a 
debt  of  gratitude  to  Professor 
Morris  F.  Stubbs,  our  class  spon- 
sor, and  faculty  advisor  for  the 
Senior  year.  Because  of  his  un- 
limited ability  to  do  great  things 
efficiently,  his  sympathetic  hu- 
mor, and  his  aid  in  making  this 
book  possible,  we  take  this  op- 
portunity of  expressing  our 
appreciation.

Glass  Poem 

HIGH   SCHOOL 

From  books  and  lessons  we're  turning; 

For  into  the  Springtime  of  Youth, 
There  always  comes  a  yearning; 

To  learn  for  itself  the  truth. 

And  altho  we  max  leave  this  College; 

With  lessons  rich  and  dear. 
We  shall  get  our  greater  knowledge. 

From  another  source  than   here. 

For  life  is  a  great  Library, 
Of  treasures  to  be  found — 

And  study  should   never  be  dreary, 
II 'here  such  priceless  lessons  abound. 

Tints  we'll  learn  the  Truth  of  living; 
To  do  our  best  each  day. 
That  a  blessing  comes,  from  giving 

Our  best  in  each  word  we  say.

Glass  Poem 

COLLEGE 

The  Spring  has  cotne! 

All  nature  in  gladness  rejoices; 
In  harntonv  with  Nature's  song 

We  joyfully  tune  our  voices. 

Wake!  cries  the  Wind, 

To  flower  and  bird; 
As  he  gently  fusses. 

Sweet  music  is  heard. 

The  flowers  come  forth — 

Lift  their  heads  to  the  sun. 

God  smiled  upon  the  earth — 
New  life  has  begun. 

Wake!  cries   Youth, 

Your  work  here  is  done. 
Life  is  not  finished, 

It  has  only  begun!

The  Ugly  Duckling 


"Wasn't  the  play  wonderful!"  exclaimed  Jeanette  to  a  group  of  girls,  as  they  sat  on  the 
steps  of  the  old  red  brick  building,  in  the  spring  sunshine. 

"Simply  precious !  And  that  grand  looking  man  who  played  the  lover.  He's  the  best 
looking  thing  I  ever  saw,"  cooed  Marian  as  she  propped  herself  in  a  more  comfortable  posi- 
tion. 

Louise's  brown  eyes  grew  soft  as  she  remembered  the  charms  of  the  actor.  "That  man 
would  put  Apollo  to  shame,"  she  murmured. 

"Say,  do  any  of  you  know  his  name?"  asked  Marian.  "I  cut  that  picture  of  his  profile 
off  one  of  the  ads,  but  it  didn't  give  his  name." 

Nobody  answered  for  a  moment.  The  quiet  was  broken  by  the  class  bell,  and  Jean  spoke 
disgustedly.  "Well,  doesn't  anybody  know  his  name  ?  Can't  anybody  find  out  his  name  ? 
Don't  all  speak  at  once." 

Just  then  a  small,  quiet  looking  girl  came  up  the  steps.  At  first  none  of  the  group  spoke 
to  her  or  appeared  to  notice  her  at  all.  Her  smooth  brown  hair  was  drawn  neatly  over  her 
ears,  and  she  was  intent  on  a  book  which  she  held  open  in  her  hands.  She  was  almost  through 
the  doorway  when  Jean  called  to  her. 

"Ann,  did  you  go  to  the  play  last  night?  Yes?  Well,  do  you  know  the  name  of  the 
man  in  the  play?" 

To  the  surprise  of  all  the  girls,  the  dove-like  Ann  suddenly  blushed  a  fiery  red. 

"Why — ,"  she  stammered,   "his  name  is  Peter   Conway." 

"Peter — !"  exclaimed  the  three  girls  in  one  breath. 

Marian  was  the  first  to  recover  herself.  "Oh,  aren't  you  glad  that  is  his  name?"  she 
drawled.     "I  thought  maybe  it  would  be  Percy  or  Oscar,  or — " 

"Oh,  shut  up,  Marian.  Nobody  cares  what  you  thought,"  snapped  Jean.  "Now  go  on 
Ann,  and  talk  fast.  Do  you  know  any  more  about  him?  Have  you  ever  spoken  to  him?  How 
did  you  find  out  his  name?" 

Before  Ann  could  answer,  the  bell  rang  again,  and  Marian  jumped  up  saying,  "That's 
the  last  bell.     I've  got  to  hoof  it  up  to  Math." 

She  started  up  the  steps,  and  Ann  seized  the  opportunity  to  run  up  the  steps  after  her. 

Jean  and  Louise  sat  to  await  their  next  class  period,  staring  at  each  other  in  wide-eyed 
amazement. 

"Well,"  drawled  Louise.  "Can  you  beat  that?  How  in  the  world  did  that  little  stick 
of  an  Ann  Harvey  ever  happen  to  know  that  angel  man's  name?" 


Page  Sixty 


"Now  wasn't  that  queer?  I  can't  imagine  how  she  ever  knew.  If  that  dear  hell  hadn't 
rung  we  might  have  found  out." 

"I'll  bet  you  this,"  said  Louise,  struck  with  a  new  thought.  "That  man  will  be  at  the 
Junior-Senior  Banquet  tonight.     Wonder  who'll  have  the  bliss  of  being  his  partner?" 

"How  should  I  know?"  replied  Jean,  "since  it's  not  me?  What  are  you  going  to  wear? 
Got  a  new  dress?" 

"Yes,  it's  blue.     Oh  Heavens !  here  comes  the  Dean.     I'm  supposed  to  be  in  study  hall." 

That  evening  in  a  plain  little  room,  Ann  Harvey  was  dressing.  At  school  nobody  ever  paid 
any  attention  to  her.  None  of  the  boys  ever  talked  to  her.  None  of  the  girls  were  chummy 
with  her.  Not  that  they  disliked  her,  they  simply  did  not  stop  to  notice  her  at  all.  That  day 
had  not  been  different  from  other  days,  and  yet,  for  some  reason  she  was  excited.  None  of 
the  school  boys  had  asked  her  to  go  to  the  Banquet.  None  of  the  girls  had  asked  her  if  she 
was  going,  what  she  was  go'ng  to  wear,  or  any  of  the  ordinary  questions,  but  Ann 
was  very  much  excited.  She  dressed  carefully,  working  a  long  time  on  her  hair,  it  must  look 
its  best.    Finally  she  was  ready. 

When  the  teacher  came  to  call  the  girls  who  had  dates  waiting  downstairs,  everybody  was 
surprised  to  hear  her  call  Ann   Harvey. 

As  Ann  came  out  of  her  room,  Jean  and  Marian  were  standing  at  the  head  of  the  stairs, 
waiting  for  the  other  girls. 

Jean  punched  Marian.  "Look  at  Ann.  Just  look  at  her.  Who  do  you  suppose  is  taking 
her?" 

"She  looks  pretty  tonight.  I  love  that  yellow,  beaded  dress.  It  makes  her  hair  look  so 
much  blacker,"  answered  Marian. 

"And  I  never  noticed  until  now  that  she  is  pretty,"  said  Jean.  "Here  are  the  other 
girls.     Let's  go  on." 

Halfway  down  the  stairway,  a  wave  of  excitement  seemed  to  pass  over  the  whole  group 
of  girls.  The  man  who  had  been  the  sole  topic  of  conversation  all  day,  the  man  of  the  play, 
Peter  Conway,  was  waiting  in  the  parlor.  To  the  utter  amazement  of  everyone,  it  was  to 
Ann  Harvey  that  he  turned  with  his  most  charming  manner. 

That  evening,  with  the  banquet,  the  handsome  Mr.  Conway,  her  pretty  dress,  and  all  the 
attention  she  received,  was  a  bright  spot  in  Ann's  drab  existence.  For  the  first  time  in  her 
life  Ann  was  the  center  of  interest,  the  topic  of  conversation,  and  the  attraction  for  all 
eyes.     If  Ann  was  interested  in  Peter  Conway,  it  was  apparent  that  he  was  attracted  by  her. 

Later,  after  the  Banquet  was  over,  and  Ann,  flushed  and  star-eyed  with  happiness 
was  again  in  her  room,  Jean,  Louise,  and  Marian  rushed  in  to  tell  her  how  pretty  she  had 
looked,  and  more  important,  to  find  out  how  she  had  happened  to  know  Mr.  Conway. 

At  the  last  question  Ann  laughed,  and  told  them  she  had  met  him  at  a  New  Year's 
dance  the  winter  before.  They  asked  many  questions,  and  Ann  forgot  her  shyness  in 
answering  them.  After  a  long  talk,  the  girls  went  to  their  rooms.  Although  none  of  the 
girls  would  have  admitted  it,  Ann  would  never  be  the  same  uninteresting  Ann  to  any  of  them, 
since  the  glamor  of  Peter  Conway  remained  with  her. 

"Well,  I  guess  we'll  all  take  back  seats  now,  if  we're  ever  going  to,"  exploded 
Louise. 

"I  nearly  fainted  when  I  saw  that  darling  Mr.  Conway  start  after  Ann  Harvey,"  said 
Marian. 

"Say,  do  any  of  you  believe  that  fairy  stories  come  true?"  asked  Jean. 

"No,  if  you  mean  Cinderella,  for  it  doesn't  fit  this,"  answered  Marian. 

"I  don't  mean  Cinderella,  I  mean  the  Ugly  Duckling.  Don't  you  remember  that  the  little 
duck  became  a  swan?     That's  what  has  happened  to  Ann." 

"Yes,  that's  it,"  said  Louise.  "Ann  is  our  little  changeling.  But  girls,  if  Peter  Conway 
ever  comes  this  way  again,  just  watch  me  get  into  action."

With  Our  Modern  Poets 

THE   WANDER   SONG 
To  follow  the  road  that  leads  over  the  hill. 

To  wander  the  path  through  the  valley ; 
1  long  to  go  with  free  heart  and  will, 

Like  the  river  that  winds  through  the  valley. 

To  take  my  cap  and  sack  I  yearn. 

To  leave  my  fate  to  hope  and  luck; 
l'o  choose  a  road  with  a  luring  turn, 

And  girdle  the  earth  with  the  daring  Pluck. 

The  morning  sun  of  an  .  I pril  day, 
Awakens  the  wanderlust — 

Light-footed,  I  hasten  to  take  my  way, 

.  I  vagabond  lover  of  rain  and  dust. 
(In  the  breathless  hill  in  the  sultry  noon, 

I  dream  of  far-off  seas: 
Drawn  by  the  wild  bees'  murmurous  croon, 

To  scorn  life's  ministries. 
But  shadows  lengthen  ami  darkness  falls. — 

There's  a  friendly  feel  to  the  homeward  way; 
.In  inborn  longing  within   me  calls. 

.  Ill  roads  lead  home  at  the  end  of  the  day. 

Mary   Neal   Childress 

SPRING 
Hark!    I    hear   a   gentle    rustling. 

In  the  brandies  of  the  trees; 
.  hid  a  far-off  lilting  love  song, 

Coming  softly  on  the  breeze. 
There's  a  sparkling,  gurgling,  laughter. 

In  the  tiny  little  brook: 
Could  you   hear  it   chuckling  softly 

As  it  passed  yon  shady  nook? 
Did  you  see  the  green  buds  open' 

Did  you  hear  the  robin  sing,' 
C  an  you  understand  the  meaning 

Of  the  message  which  lie  brings.' 
i'esterday  teas  cold  and  gloomy. 

Not  a  song  bird  on  the  wing: 
I  an  this  all  be  just  enchantment , 

Or  is  it  really,  truly,  spring? 
There's  a  happy,  happy  thought, 

Which  to  us,  the  springtime  gives; 
Despite  the  cares  that  life  has  brought  us. 
Is  it  not  just  joy  to  live?

Wesleyan  Football 

The  Tennessee  Wesleyan  Football  Eleven,  under  the  direction  of  Coach  Par- 
sons had  a  very  successful  season.  Starting  practice  with  only  a  few  letter  men 
on  the  squad,  the  team  made  a  record  of  which  we  are  proud. 

The  opening  game  caught  them  with  only  one  week  of  real  training  and  prac- 
tice, but  they  held  the  fast,  scrappy  Etowah  High  School  team  to  a  scoreless  tie. 
The  second  game  was  with  the  University  of  Chattanooga  Frosh.  Although  Wes- 
leyan was  doped  to  he  swamped  by  about  forty  points,  the  game  was  one  of  the 
prettiest  and  hardest  fought  ever  seen  in  Athens,  the  U.  of  C.  team  winning  by 
one  touchdown  and  a  safety,  S  to  0.  Then  in  succession  Wesleyan  defeated  Mary- 
ville  Poly  by  a  14  to  0  score,  Tusculum  College  by  a  13  to  0  score,  and  Bradley 
County  High  by  a  14  to  0  score. 

The  following  week  with  Captain  Durham,  "Big"  Grant,  and  Bivens  out  of 
the  game  with  injuries,  Wesleyan  held  the  fast,  heavy  Milligan  College  team  to  a 
5  to  0  score  in  the  first  half,  to  be  outclassed  in  the  fourth  quarter  through  lack  of 
reserves,  and  losing  the  game,  30  to  0.  The  team  then  took  a  trip  to  Johnson 
City  the  next  week,  and  lost  the  game  to  Normal  by  a  score  of  19  to  0. 

The  grand  climax  of  the  season  came  with  the  Thanksgiving  game.  In  this 
game  the  Wesleyan  Bulldog  entirely  outclassed  the  big  Hiwassee  College  Eleven, 
and  won  a  very  muddy  game  by  the  score  of  6  to  0. 

Coach  Parsons  is  already  planning  and  building  for  next  year,  and  the  pros- 
pects for  a  wonderful  team  next  fall  are  the  brightest  in  the  history  of  the  college.
