MR. YEILDINC r HIS human dynamo has been mak- ing budgets for Birmingham- Southern for fourteen years. A grad- uate of ' Southern, Newman Manly Yeilding was born in Birmingham on March 1. 1900. He yelled Yea, Central ! which was the Phillips High School of a score of years ago. While at ' Southern he was active in and out of classes ; in his Senior year he became business manager of the college paper. In 1922 he tucked his A. B. in Social Studies into the family trunk and pitched in to make the busi- ness of the family concern run more smoothly. Then, after persuading them that they could get along with- out him, he returned to the Hilltop and joined the faculty as Bursar. Since that time he has acquired the reputation for being a very tough gen- tleman v ' here money is concerned. Some have even hinted that, when- ever Mr. Yeilding greets a person, he absentmindedly extends his hand with palm up; but we think that is carry- ing matters too far. He married Miss Annie Lou Fletcher, and they have three children. Manly, Fletcher, and Anne. [15] Bursar Nkvv.ma.n ' IManly Yeilding
