Alice Isabella Clemens, Latin, Caldwell, Idaho. A virtuous gentlewoman, mild and beautiful. Her pedigree is like that of Topsy, she jes ' growed. After some time spent at her Alma Mater she went West for a change of scene and occupation. At first, she was engaged in mission work in Utah. Later, she taught in the public schools of Idaho. In 1906 she returned to Maryville and took charge of the girls ' Physical Culture classes. She knew a good thing when she saw it and decided to graduate with the Naughty Eights. Edward Lamar Clemens, Classical, Caldwell, Idaho. And still they gazed and still their wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew. Like young Lochinvar, he came out of the West. But how shall we say more? Sage and historian alike are baffled. Fair as Apollo, the best all-round athlete in College, ranking among the first in his class, and with it all, willing to work untiringly at whatever comes his way. The remainder is left to the reader ' s imagination. Hunley Roy Easterly, Chemistry, Midway. An honest man ' s the noblest work of God. When he was young, his fond parents discerned in him char- acteristics that promised great things for the financial world. So carefully was he trained and so marked was his development that at the first class-meeting of his Senior year the ' 08s made him their treasurer and tax-collector. He is student enough, and his sterling worth has won for him the friendship and respect of all who know him. Space can ' t do him justice. 18

Mary Alexander, Latin, Maryville. Her voice zvas soft, gentle, and low; An excellent thing in woman. She began her schooldays at a British school in Japan. When a maiden of nine, she left the Land of Cherry Blossoms, and came to America, that her parents ' Alma Mater might be hers. For two years, ' 06 in Maryville and ' 07 in Manchester, Ky., she swayed a birch sceptre with vigor and success. In the summer of 1907 she returned to Maryville College to graduate with the Class of ' 08. She is an accomplished violinist, of whom we are justly proud. Greediness is the only fault we can record against her. This did not appear until the opening of her Senior year. Then, when nearly all the grapes had been destroyed by the frosts of the preceding spring, and she was blessed with a whole Bunch, she did not offer to share with one of her classmates. Theron Alexander, English Literature, Maryville. In framing an artist art hath thus decreed, To make some good, but others to exceed. All class rivalry was laid aside and he came as a good angel to the classes of ' 06 and ' 07. He supplied their annuals with cartoons, which were a source of pride both to them and to the College. The experience prepared him to fill with success, which needs no comment, the position of Art Editor for the ' 08 Chil- howean. He is one of the most loyal society men on the hill. His generosity is proverbial. Who has not heard him say, again and again, It is yours, all yours. My own heart has been made glad, and I ' ll try my best to gladden yours. 17
