Entered Senior year; Student Assistant Coach (4) ; Student Coach of Girls ' Basketball (4) ; Instructor Men ' s Gymnasium (4) ; Student Coach Track Team (4) ; Athletic Committee Students ' Association (4) ; President Y. M. C. A. (4) ; Member J. S. Green Literary Society (4) ; 2 vkpatns ' EITEP (4). When all the nine Senior girls heard that they were to have a new senior boy this year, they immediately set their caps for him, but all in vain ! Luke didn ' t take any stock in the saying, Gee! Whiz! I ' m glad I ' m free; no wed- ding bells for me! for he has the prettiest little wife you ever did see. Mr. Ray is an all-round athlete. In football, how he did shine, and as Coach of the girls ' basketball team be lias done wonders. Whatever he starts he does right. If you want to see some pretty tackling you just ought to see Luke C. in a football game. He has proven his ability not only as an athlete and a student, but as an actor. Those who witnessed the Senior stunt one night can swear to this. In Bible he can discuss anything from Genesis to Revelation and back again. He can almost (hardly tho) equal Sir Thomas in his arguments. When some of us heard that Mr. Ray was studying for the mini- stry we thought he had missed his calling for he was jolly and pleasant. It doesn ' t take the old time long faced preachers to appeal to mankind however, and we are glad that Mr. Ray is entering into this great work with such a pleasant and optimistic outlook on life. We wish you all success, for we know that, vou are everv inch a man. Page Twenty-one

Gerry comes to us from Rollins College. Perhaps she felt that in the moun- tains of North Georgia we needed a headlight. So with her shining tresses serv- ing as such, she has kept us from falling over the steep precipices and stony places. Enthusiasm? Yes! Gerry is always enthusiastic whether it be a Senior reception or an education essay. As a business woman she showed her ability when Editor of the Yonahian. She distinguishes herself by her fondness for long chapel and vesper talks, long prayers, long class periods, studying and going to the infirmary. Does she talk? I ' ll say she does. She can do everything, her blue eyes being included in everything. We shall always remember Gerardine by her favorite expression, Father is English, becau se this is the reason she gives for all of her characteristics, whether it be fondness for beans with sauce or fondness for reading classical literature. It has always been a mystery to us how Gerry could ' get by, ' without study- ing, especially in such courses as Physics, under Prof. Roberts. She has been told by one of the profs that she has the power which few of us have, that of getting by a single reading an amount of knowledge equal to that which the average person gets upon faithful and prolonged study. Her keen interest in all literary activities is manifested by the part she takes in them. We cannot think of Gerry ever being under any higher author- ity than her own self. She has a wonderful gift as leader. We expect to find her some day as the manager of some large concern, probably, president of a girls ' college. Page Twenty-three
