MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS
To The Members of the Class of 1937:
A statement which I read recently was to the effect that we do not
know what college spirit is and we never will know, adding, "In the markets
of the world it isn't worth the cost of the price tag, but in the hearts of
students and graduates it rates in terms of million-dollar libraries, scholar-
chip funds, and thousand-mile trips to cheer the colors." The statement
edded further "You don't get college spirit. It gets you."
I dare say your experience at Tennessee Wesleyan covering the past
two years gives you reason to comprehend the above statement. Two years
ago the college was probably just another institution to you. Today it is
an integral part of you, just as your family name, your nationality, and
your church. How this change has been brought about you probably would
have difficulty to explain, yet you recognize it. My hope is that the bene-
fits that have come to you through this relationship will have increasing
value through the years in helping you to cany out continuously the poet's
injunction to "Build the more stately mansions, O, my Soul."
Our best wishes go with you as you advance to new undertakings, new
opportunities and new responsibilities.
Sincerely,
JAMES. L. ROBB
PRESIDENT.

FACULTY
Tennessee Wesleyan is duly proud of its we'.l-trained, versatile faculty
presided over by diplomatic and resourcsful President J. L. Robb. It is large-
ly through his efforts that the college has developed from a small strug-
gling preparatory department into the fully accredited, well-organized
junior college of today-
Tennessee Wesleyan has been fortunate in securing the services of
William F. Anderson, retired Bit hop of the Methodist Episcopal church, as
instructor of Bible during the spring quarter. His classes in Old and New
Testament, as well as his chapel lectures and informal advice have been a
source of real help and inspiration to the students-
Mrs Brubaker, who also holds the title of Dean of Women and Superin-
tendent of Ritter Hall, has conducted a course in English composition during
the Spring Quarter.

FIVE CANDLES BURNING BRIGHTLY
Into the hearts and lives of Tennessee Wesleyan students there shine
the warm radiant rays of five candles burning in the spirit of Christian
ideals. Those candles are known as the Y. W. C. A., the Y- M. C. A, the
Christian Service Club, the Queen Esther Circle, and the Religious Council.
During the past years, these candles have lighted the pathway of every
student who belonged to Tennessee Wesleyan. Their glow has been felt
in every activity whether scholastic, social or spiritual- And strange as it
may seem, each one has grown taller, throwing its rich light forward and
upward as the years have passed. With the beginning of this past year,
warm beams of welcome reached out and drew new friends into their cir-
cles. Then the intense flame of cooperative service burned into the hearts
of our Christian young men and women until now we see the realization of
aims and hopes of '36 and '37. Those who found a deep spiritual life seem-
ingly beyond their reach have been drawn by their fellow students into the
circle of candlelight which symbolizes the citizenry of Christ's Kingdom
here on earth.
Drawn into the light of these organizations, our students seek to carry
away with them a single shining ray to guide them — onward and upward.
The circle of '36-'37 is now broken by the parting of students whose work has
been completed. Nevertheless, soft shadows remain to encourage others to
carry the torch of duty faithfully and loyally. To those who await the com-
ing year and those who will start anew, may your services of love and fellow-
ship and duty to God, add to the brilliance of our candles- May each future
year find them beckoning on the threshold of a Christian college and light-
ing the halls of that college with the rays of love and service
Five Candles Burning Brightly.

ORGANIZATIONS ON THE CAMPUS
Because of the close fellowship and cooperation of the different clubs and organizations on
the campus. Wesleyan is drawn very closely together. They are not only of an educational ad-
vantage to the students but lend a social life as well. It would be difficult to determine the mo.it
important of these organizations but one that is enjoyed by practically all the college is the
Knighto-Philo Literary Society. This group meets each Saturday night in the attractive Liter-
ary Hall and enjoy some very profitable programs. 1936 and 1937 was one of the most success-
ful yeais the society has ever known. New officers were chosen at the beginning of each new
quarter, and the management of the organization ran very smoothly under the capable leader-
ship of the students. The new officers are:
President Robert Dew
Vice President Faye Smith
Secretary Sue Ashley
Critic Lenora Daugherty
Treasurer Martin Luther Greer
Sarg. at Arms Lawrence Eisenberg
Cnaplain Rosa Jones
Pianist Doris Cooper
All students of a dramatic mind belong to the dramatic club known as the Tewesco Play-
ers. The very capable Mrs. Harry T. Bums was sponsor of the club during the past year. Each
meeting brought very interesting programs to the members. A very successful production of
"The Nut Farm" was put on by this group and was presented several times in Athens and
nearby towns. The officers of the Tewesco Players are:
President Sue Dye
Vice President Ruth Vaniman
Sec. & Treas Jerry Chambers
However. Wesleyan's organizations are not confined merely to the campus, for a very im-
portant group is the Off-Campus Club. This club is made up of all the off-campus students
attending the college. They have their regular meetings and have sponsored several affairs dur-
ing the year. Perhaps one of the most significant was the chapel program put on at Christmas
tune. Much credit and honor should go to the sponsor. Mrs. Brubaker and to the officers:
President Bernice Craig
Vice President Virginia Bradford
Sec. & Treas * Mary Ann Watkins
A very successful band has been organised by Curtis Wagner and it has been very im-
portant to Wesleyan all year. It has played for many various affairs both on and off the
campus.
Under the direction of Mr. Evins the Phi Rho Pi has gone forward in leaps and bounds
during '36 and '37. At present each member of the debating class belongs to the National So-
ciety. In March, Wesleyan's Phi Rho Pi Club was represented at ihe conference at Wing'ate
North Carolina, and all through the year its members have participated in debates with other
colleges. The officers for the year:
President Ed. Eldridge
Vice President Claude Cupp
Sec. & Treas Theodore Wofford
One of the foremost organizations on the Campus is the P. K. Club — iP. K. mean-
ing Preacher's Kids) all sons and daughters ot ministers may belong to this Club and all min-
isterial siudents may be honor members. Devotional services were held twice a month and a;
various times socials were enjoyed. The club this year was one of the largest in several years
as there were sixteen active members. The Rev. Frank Porter of the First Methodist Episcopal
Church of Athens was the sponsor.
Because of the many students coming irom Etowah, an Etowah Club has been organized
on the campus. A large group, twenty-two in all. belong to this club. Lucy Frye is president.
Vice President — Kim Taylor, Secretary-Treasurei — Agnes Lillard. * "^
Last but not least is the Moffitt Musi? Club. This is a branch of the National Musi?
Society and much interest is di played by both the sponsor, Miss Moffitt and the members of the
club. Meetings were held once a month, sometimes on the campus, but often at different
homes of the members living in town. Two honor members were taken into the club at the last
meeting. Mrs. C. O. Douglass and Mrs. C. O. Foree. The officers of the club:
Sponsor Miss Moffitt
President Ruth Stewart
Vice President Wilma Dennis
Sec. & Treas Doris Cooper

rCCTBALL
The Tennessee Wesleyan Bulldogs trampled all opposition to rack up the
greatest football record ever achieved by a Wesleyan team. The Bulldogs went
through the entire season without experiencing defeat- In winning every game on
their schedule the Methodists won their fifth consecutive Southeastern Junior
Conference title and their first National Junior College Championship.
Rated as the highlights of the season were the smashing victories over King
College, who tied Wesleyan last year, and University of the South, the only team
to defeat Wesleyan the previous year.
Much credit for this successful season goes to the able coaching of Coach Mc-
Cray and to the playing of both the line and the backfield. Co-captain "Wit"
Eaves was the outstanding lineman in the Bulldog line. Spencer Robb, at end, also
deserves much credit. Smashing Red McGee, fullback, and co-captain J. R. Hud-
son at quarter were the main cogs in the Wesleyan backfield- The entire team
played great ball to give Wesleyan its only season without a defeat in the history
of the school.

BASKETBALL
The Wesleyan basketball team of 1936-37 was one of the strongest Bulldog
teams to ever takke the floor. The Metho .lists played some of the strongest teams
in this part of the country and emerged with an enviable record. Their most praise-
worthy accomplishment was their victory over the University of Chattanooga. De-
spite the fact that Wesleyan is only a Ju nior college, the world champion Original
Celtics chose her as their opponent for this section of Tennessee when making their
annual tour of the South.
The Wesleyan attack was built aroun d the four veterans of the squad, Bob
Queener, floor-man de luxe, Raymond Huskey, the scoring ace, Blalock, the sharp-
shooter, and Robb, the bulwark of defense. Huskey led the Wesleyan scoring with
an average of almost 15 pbints per game Bob Queener had an average of almost
10 points per game and Captain Robb's average was slightly below that. Ram-
r y, the only freshman on the team played bang-up ball all season and will form
the nucleus for the Bulldog team for '37- '38- The entire tcam played great ball
and gave Wesleyan a record she can be proud of.
