J Xa - 3 evu - 1922 i i ..+ — William Wa lter Locke Orrville, Alabama Applicant for B. S. Pi Kappa Alpha; Belle Lettres Literarv Society; Prophet Sop ' homore Class 1919-20; Vice-President Tunior Class 1920- 21; Associate Editor Revue 1920-21; Vice-President Senior Class 1921-22; Member Pan-Hellemc Council 1920-21: Presi- dent Belle Lettres Literarv Society First Term 1921-22; Editor-in-Chief Revue 1921-22; First Honor Roll 1920-21: Associate Editor Gold and Black 1921-22; Vice-President Pre-Medical Club; Member D. I. K. Club. Bill is a true friend, a splendid student and a real man in every sense of the word. He is the sort of fellow who can be depended upon wherever real character is needed, and in whom no confidence, however great or small, is misplaced. Bill makes A ' s in all his work, and still complains because he cannot make higher grades, yet, in spite of his in- dustry, he usually finds time to take in a show once a week. His love affairs (singular or plural) re- main one of the hidden mysteries of the Hill, but we have good reason to believe that Bill has no real enmity in his heart for the fair sex. As Editor-in- chief of the Revue, Bill has proved himself an exe- cutive of no small ability. This is but characteris- tic of the thorough quality of his work, however ; and we are looking with the greatest pride and pleasure to see him take his place as a leader in the medical profession. Carolyn Louise Martin Seale, Alabama Applicant for A. B. Troy Normal 1919; Student Peabody College 1919-20; Teacher Graymont School 1921-22. Although not a regular member of our class, Miss Martin is taking work in the Extension De- partment which will entitle her to a degree this year. We consider it a privilege to have her finish with us, thus adding her name to the roll of our many worthy alumni. Charles D. Matthews Hackleburg, Alabama Applicant for A. B. Degree Clariosophk: Literarv Society; Scholarship Medal 1919- 20: Class Poet 1920-22: Assistant Librarian 1921-22: Asso- ciate Editor Gold and Black 1921-22; V. II. C. V. Delecate to Southern Student Conference. Blue Ridge. N. C, 1920; Twice President Clariosophic Literarv Society; Millsaps Debater 1922; Valedictorian of Class of ' 1922. Charley ' s shining countenance has graced the landscape of our institution for four years. Ever in the thick of the fight, he has piled up an enviable record of grades, winning the scholarship medal in 1919-20. He has also attained some success as a journalist, having served on the Gold and Black staff for two years. Charley, we look forward with pleasure to the time when you become one of the greatest ministers of Southern Methodism. Pa 7t- Twenty-two

Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Belle Lettres Literary Society; President Pan-Hellenic Council 1921-22; Manager Tennis 1919-20; Art Editor Revue 1921-22; Dramatic Club 1921- 22; Secretary and Treasurer B Club; D. I. K. Club. Frank hails from the city of Sylacauga, but oth- erwise is a likable sort of fellow. He has a two- fold ambition : First, to rival Bo ' ' Bagley in monopolizing the affections of the Coeds, and to outstrip Michael Angelo in portraying his thoughts upon canvas. But after all that can be said of him, he is a true friend, a good scout, and is ever ready to lend a helping hand. Frank, we wish you all suc- cess in whatever you undertake, and feel sure that von will succeed. Demetrius Nestor Issos Birmingham, Alabama Applicant for A. B. Belle I.ettres Literary Society; 20: First honor roll 1920-21; Secretar Society 1920-21; Glee Club 1921-22. We are proud to have as our classmate this worthy representative of a noble and intellectual race. He is one of the best students in the class, and at all times a loyal supporter of his Alma Mater. He has decided to study medicine, and we all feel sure that he will prove himself a credit to his pro- fession and an honor to his Alma Mater. Eulin J. Laney Birmingham, Alabama Applicant for A. B. Graduate of, Trov State Norma School ; Stt dent Pea- bodv College 1917-18-19T ' Columbia Univers Pn ncipal Gray mont School. We are glad that Mr. Laney has chosen Birming- ham-Southern as his Alma Mater. He is a man of proved ability, and we feel confident of a success- ful future for him. We only regret that it has not been our privilege to become closer associated with him. Page Twenty-one

TU - evue - 1922 +■— — + i i •■+ — + Acton Elijah Middlebrooks Midland City, Alabama Applicant for A. B. Clariosophic Literary Society; Sophomore Declaimer 1919; Vice-President Ministerial Association 1918-19; Johnson Philosophy .Medal 1920: Delegate to Student Volunteer Con- vention, Des Moines. Iowa. 1920; President Ministerial As- sociation 1920-21; Member V. M. C. A. Cabinet 1921-22; Delegate to Y. M. C. A. Conference Blue Ridge 1921; Presi- dent Clariosophic Literary Society 1921; Tunior Oratorical Medal 1921; Historian Tunior Class 1921; Member Masonic Club; Member Student Senate 1921-22. Middlebrooks is one of our number who has combined ministerial duties with those of securing an education, and in both occupations has stood with the foremost. In 1919-20 he had the distinction of winning the Philosophy medal, which alone would indicate that he had learned to handle to advantage the best the profs could send against him. We be- lieve that lie will also be able to cope witb the larger, more difficult problems of life. Gerwin Myer Brandon, Fla. Applicant for A. B. Pi Kappa Alpha; Clariosophic Literary Society; S. A. T. C. 111S-19; R. ). T. C. r-H ' i; (dec Hub 1 ' 1 ' ' -20-21 22; Main Ouartet 1920-21-22; Scrap Iron Ouartet 1920-21-22; Basketball Squad 1919; Treasurer Freshman Class 1918-19; D. I. K. Club. Jew Baby came to us during the S. A. T. C. year from — nobody knows where — and has been with us continually since. There is a rumor that he spends a good many of his week-ends somewhere out in the country from here, so you can see he has other interests besides those of his college duties. His ambitions are to secure the girl of his choice, and to rival Caruso in the exercise of his melodious voice. Jew, these are worthy ambitions, ambitions in which you deserve to succeed. Robert Justin Rowe Munford, Alabama Applicant for A. B. Alpha Tau Omega; Clariosophic Literary Society; Foot- ball 1918-19; Baseball 1918-19-20; Ladies ' Debater 1918; Glee Cluh 1920-21; Manager Baseball 1920; Athletic Editor Revue 1920; President Dramatic Club 1921; Main Ouartet 1921- 22; D. I. K. Club. Bob entered our class just four years ago — one of the greenest rats that ever bowed before a sophomores ' belt, but since that time has rapidly learned the ways of a college man and is now one of the best liked men in the class. In his Junior year he had the distinction of being elected the Most Handsome Man, which for most of us would have been honor enough but not so for Bob. For him there are other worlds to conquer, and we hope and believe he will conquer them. Page Twenty-three
