ALMA MABEL ARMSTRONG Bradentown, Florida Happy is a fit name for this Florida member of the Class of ' 14. We would have named her Happy, on the strength of the fact alone that once she grinned for three minutes and eighteen seconds at a distance of four and a half inches, which same being the world ' s record for the standing broad grin. But there are three other reasons why the name fits. Happy is an athletic lady, as her record shows. She was for three years a member of the Varsity Basketball team; and was Captain of the team in 1912-13; and was twice a member of the Athletic Board of Control. In 1912-13, she was Assistant in the Chemical Laboratory, and from this ordeal, as from all others thus far, escaped with smiles, only to be elected to the coveted (?) position of Editor- in-Chief of the Chilhowean. In 1911-12, she was Class Editor and in 1913-14 a member of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, besides being President of the Bainonian one term. Happy is of a legal turn of mind, and so requested that these remarks be couched in legal phraseology. It is our regret and the world ' s sorrow, that we were unable to do so, but It is to be hoped, however, that even such a disappointment as ih s will in no wise hinder her from being Happy ever after. 24

FRANK LEWIS MILLER East Moriches, N. Y. Willie the Long is from New York, and he bears about the same relation to that state ' s reputation as does the principal liquid product of a certain Wisconsm Vil- lage to said village ' s fame. Willie is long in lots of things besides his seventy-one inches of altitude. His long stride, and endurance have made a name for him on the cinder path. He was captain of track in 1 12-13, and Manager of track in 1913-14, besides being holder of the local record for the half mile, 2:10 3-5, and winner of points in other events. He was a member of the basketball squad in 1913-14, and has played on all our Class basketball teams. Willie also has a long business head, having been Business Manager of the Monthly in 1912-13. He was Exchange Editor of the Monthly in 191 1-12; a member of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet in 1912; Secretary in 1912, and Vice-President in 1913, of the Athenian Literary Society; and Photographic Editor of the Chilhowean. To cap off this illustrious career, we elected Willie President of our class, but the Faculty failed to be satisfied, and so added to his honors by naming him one of the commencement day orators of our class. Willie as his worn and emaciated form indicates has been a busy man among us, but has not been too busy to occasionally don his derby (size 6%), and equipped with a ready made smile and well cultivated Irish accent, fare forth into the primrose way of moonshine.

JAMES FRAZIER BRITTAIN Maryville Jim, or to be familiar Bnt, has had quite a career as a MaryviUian and proof thereof follows. To begin with, Brit is an Athenian, and was Secretary of the Society in 1912. But the great star role of Brit is Athletics. In 1911, he was a member of the second Basketball team; in 1912-13-14, a member of the Varsity basketball team of which he was Captain in ' 13. In 1912, he was a member and Assistant Manager of the football team, and in 1913 was Manager. He was also Captain of our Class football team in 1911, when we beat the Freshies, besides being Athletic Manager of the Class. Brit has played on all our Class baseball teams, and in 1913 was Captain, besides making quite a reputation as a pitcher. To cap it all off, Brit was in 1913-14 Vice-President, and for almost the entire year acting President of the Athletic Association. The why of the above splendid record is, that Brit goes into everything with all the punch requisite to carry it through. He is not much of a moonshiner, but then he left that to his brother, and so made sure that both his own work and the moonshining would be well done. So here ' s luck to Brit, and bad health to his neighbors for he intends to be a doctor. A ' v«5 5- ys ' XxyJ -v K- 25
