, GENEVA ANDERSON, B.A. Marvville, Tennessee Theta Epsilon It has been -.aid that red hair is the sign of genius. If this is true, she has the sign and evidently the genius. She is a hard woricer and she is well rewarded for her woriv, because A ' s in Theism are high honors. It takes work to show one ' s genius and the pep to carry out one ' s plans. Geneva has both these qualities and she is bound to suc- ceed in life. A good, genuine laugh is an asset to any person and this, too, Geneva has. She has a sweet, sunny disposition which has caused us to believe that red hair is not a sure sign of a high temper — at least, there are exceptions to the rule. She is quite adept in the art of giving Intelligence tests and working out class norms, medians,, averages, and correlations, and this is some- thing else which requires hard work and concentration. We wish for you the best that life has to offer and a full portion of happiness, and we assure you that your Alma Mater will ever be proud of you.

Renie is one of those delightfully posi- tive people who has the courage to stand up for what she believes, no matter how much opposition she may have. She is particularlv able to hold her own on the debate question and in such classes as Psychology and Ethics. That is one of the great qualities of a win- ner. Where there is a lot of hard, unpleas- ant work to be done — the kind that doesn ' t give much honor where honor is due — Renie is ready to help out, because she is so unselfish. She is as good a sport as vou ever find and as true as she can be ;o everv- one. We are sure that she will win out in whatever she undertakes, and we all wish her the best of luck.

Jean is a loyal Maryville student, be- cause he came here as a Preparatory student and has been here in College four years. He has taken quite an extensive part in athletics, having been a five-letter man one year and a three-letter man for the other three years. We are indeed very proud to call him our classmate. He was chosen Best-all-round by the student body this year and that seems to speak for him better than we could. There is only one weakness that we can find in Jean — he has a mania for red hair, and it seems to be an incurable weakness. Good luck to you, Jean. MARY RUTH HOYT Maryville, Tennessee Mascot This little lady is three years old and she is perfectly adorable. She has dark brown eyes and curls to match them. She is very ambitious and vporks cross-vyord puzzles nearly every day — of course she doesn ' t do all of the work, though. When the Seniors planted their tree, Mary Ruth helped with her little spade. The class feels that she is a very great part of it and as the years roll by they will watch her work with a great deal of interest and enthusiasm as she enters school and then enrolls as a Maryville College student. She has already expressed her ambition, which as you can see from the cartoon below is a worthy one and one which we all hope that she will attain at some time in her life. When the time for our class reunion rolls around, we are expecting to have a nice young lady in the person of Mary Ruth Hoyt, present at the occasion. All of our class wishes for you the best that life has to offer. MAC MARY RUTH

Oh, ' Red ' , how wonderful! Her eyes grow big when she says this and Red looks so pleased. She is a bright child, is Myrtle, and able to hold her own in any argument — and observe the poise! She is never hap- pier than when she is expounding her own thoughts to someone. No one in the class is more vivid, more fascinating than she. She came to us from the smoky city of Camden, New Jersey, and she is not used to seeing herself in all her glorv because of the smoke. MARY KATHLEEN BAILEY, B.A. B. iLEVTON, Tennessee Bainonian Teacher in Preparatory Department ' 25. Here ' s to the Virgil teacher in the prep department! She doesn ' t seem very much like a teacher, with her big brown eyes and innocent smile. She is a good sport and just lets of fun to talk to. Now that Spring is here, we wonder if her thoughts do not turn to St. Louis and memories of last year ' s Spring mountain hike. If that is not it, why that dreamy, far-away look in those eyes? We can hardly conceive of Kathleen as a dignified school marm next year. It ' s easier to imagine her in a cozy little bungalow somewhere in the big — well, perhaps that had best be left unsaid for the present. We feel sure that she will make a success at instructing the young lads and lassies or whatever else she takes up. The class of ' 25 is backing you, Kat and we want to see you make good at your task. )i= ES-: ■MYRTLE KAT :-:: ' . ' S ' U
