Ellis Walker has advanced in knowledge and favor with men as the years have gone by, and, because of his splendid qualifications, is Sergeant-at-Arms in the White House. Venson Dixon, his bosom friend, is his assistant. The latest out in the way of books is one of songs and poetry, composed by Ethel Hardison and Bernice Burton. Clyde Brittain has realized his ambition, since he is head of the Commercial Depart- ment at the University of Tennessee. Mrs. Spivey (née Sallie Will Watson) is touring Europe with her husband, Vernon Spivey, the great singer. Jesse Beck is superintendent of the Nashville schools. He is using all those good ideas he had back in Education class. Homer McKelvey and Gladys Bryson (his wife) have a tuberculosis hospital up in the mountains of Tennessee, and it is reported that they are doing much good. David Abernathy was so impressed with the importance of Mathematics that he is spending his life trying to make people understand that it is the most important sub- ject in the curriculum. Houston Karnes missed his rides on the car out to D. L. C. so much that he got a job as street-car conductor on the Glendale car line. Curtis Walker is motorman on the same Car. Harvey Dodd has been experimenting, and found that bananas can be grown very profitably in Middle Tennessee. Inez Kinnie is traveling for her health. She is so delicate the doctor said he thought the change would do her good. Naomi Murphy is president of the League of Women Voters, and is making very elo- quent speeches for woman suffrage. Alice Barber has discovered a new chemical for blondining her hair. She has made a fortune from this discovery, since all the ladies realize that the men “fall”? for the blondes. Leslie G. Thomas is business manager of the Muscle Shoals Project. They say he got his first expexience from being business manager of the BACKLOG. At this point the Hindu told me that this was all of my classmates, and if he told me anything about myself I would have to pay him another dollar. Since I was “finan- cially embarrassed,” I quietly made my exit to look for amusement elsewhere. JIMMIE RUTH HARRELL. Twenty-two
