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

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

ZmUtA-- MuU y: LUDVIK BURIAN Martinice, Moravia Ludvik left his home in Bohemia in 1907, and arrived in our States on Thanks- giving day of that year. Somehow his steps were turned southward from the usual route of immigrant travel, and m 1909, he entered our school. Beginning at First Prep., he completed his High School course in two years, in which time he was Vice- President of the Class of 16. He entered College as Freshman in 1911. Lud was Secretary of the Athenian in 1912, and Vice-President of the Foreign Club in 1912-13, and many other things he did, such as Co-Ed Track instructor in the noon hour cinder path athletics. But in one thing . Well, you know in every College generation there is some one who has a gift of spattering paint, and as you also know, one is king of all cartoonists so long as he holds sway. If you pardon me for men- tioning M. C. ' s art dynasty, I think the line is quite like this in recent years: Alexander, Shelton, Tedford, Burian. Now these old monarchs reigned a year or less, but Lud has held that office these last three years with undisputed sway. All hail, then, to the genius of our class. King of College Spatter Club and Chilhowean artist. His Highness of the brush. Lord Ludvik Burian! 26
