' S ' BiiV i. - ROBERT WARREN FAULK CoviXGTOX, Tex -. Graduate of Bethel College, ' 07; entered Cum- berland, September, ' 07: President Amasagas- sean, ' 10; Treasurer and Captain, ' 09; Censor and Vice President, ' 08; Delegate to Rochester Convention, ' 10; Secretary and Treasurer Y, M. C. A„ ' 10; Orator Senior Class, ' 11; A.B., ' 11. He outgrew his home town, so they sent him to Cumberland. He is the pride of his class, because of his loftiness, big-heartedness, and de- votion to his friends. He has done a prodigious amount of work along all lines of knowledge. His strongest point is argumentation, in which he always defeats his opponent because of his ability to debate on any subject whatever with- out knowing anything about it. He floors the most experienced by invariably ending his argument just where he began. J. LOUIE SHATZ Kentox, Te.n ' X. Graduate of Kenton High School, ' 07; entered Cumberland, September, ' 07; President Amasa- gassean, ' 10; Vice President, ' 09; Censor, ' 09; Manager Basket Ball, ' 11; Historian Senior Class, ' 11; A.B., ' 11. He says that he did preparatory work in Ken- ton High School, but no one of the Faculty has been able to find any evidence of previous prep- aration along any line. During his four years in college he has devoted the most of the time that he has not been occupied with the pressing duties of college ' life to his studies. But there is more to Ikey than one might think from this brief sketch, and we expect to hear great things from him in the commercial world. ERNEST MITCHELL BRYANT Beli.buckle, Tenn. Graduate of Brandon Training School, ' 03; entered Cumberland, September, ' 07; Historian for Freshman Class, ' 07; Pastor Bellbuckle Presbyterian Church, ' 07- ' l] ; Editor in Chief of Phoenix, ' 11; Secretary Senior Class, ' 11; A.B., ' 11. Bryant has devoted himself to knowledge and preachin.g, and left out all foolishness. He adds to the class spirit the much-needed conservative element. He is an authority on almost any sub- ject (if you give him time to consult his wife). His only troubles have been to procure hats large enough for the increasing size of his head and to make 70 in Physics exams.

ROY FRYB, n K A Salltsaw. Okla. Graduate of Kendall College, ' 07; entered Cumberland the following fall; Baseball, ' Var- sity, ' OS- ' ll; Captain, ' 10; Manager, ' 11; Presi- dent Student Body, ' lO- ' ll; .Junior Law Class, ' 11; Artist for Senior Class, ' 11; A.B., ' 11, Chief is our star baseball man and artistic genius. He can break any track-team record on making a home run, and can draw anything he ever saw. He has no heart, because it has been stolen by a certain fair damsel, but it has been suspected that he might have a brain. His favorite theme of conversation is Her, He will launch forth upon this subject with little or no provocation. His work in college has been characterized by a diligent application to his studies and thorough preparation at exam, time. CARLTON POSEY SHELBY, K S Jonestown, Miss, Castle Heights Alumnus, ' 08; entered Cumber- land, September, ' 08; Basket Ball, ' Varsity, ' 08- ' ll; Captain, ' 11; Coach tor Coed, Basket Ball, ' 10; Baseball, ' Varsity, ' lO- ' ll; Music Club, ' 11; C.B., ' 11. Carlton sems to be best fitted by nature for a public auctioneer; but we know that he will make an expert civil engineer, because Professor Buchanan has taught him. He hails from Mis- sissippi, and has been accused of being poor white trash and not knowin ' nothin ' ; yet he himself is a living contradiction of such slan- derous reports. He attends all the church serv- ices because — but it is not in our sphere to question his motives. He has devoted his leis- ure hours to the production of literary master- pieces in the form of love letters and in playing ' Little Brown Jug on the flute. CARL VICTOR BROWN Lebanon, Tenn, Graduate of Morgan, ' 07 ; entered Cumberland, ' 07; Delegate to Asheville Student Conference, ' 08- ' 09; Weekly Staff, ' 08; President Y. M. C. A., ' 09- ' 10; President Tennis Club, ' 10; Delegate to Rochester Convention, ' 10; Literary Department Orator, ' 10; Debater, ' 11; President Amasagas- sean, ' 09; President Preachers ' Club, ' 11; Busi- ness Manager of Phoenix, ' 11; Instructor in His- tory, ' lO- ' ll; Class Prophet, ' 11; A,B„ ' 11. Brown is the only really incorrigible society man we have, and does the sporting for the whole class. He has had his heart broken three or four times annually during his career in col- lege, for he just will fall in love with the giggling, sentimental, heartless coeds. He is hardly a thing of beauty, but he is not to blame for that, and it should not be held against him. But he knows a lot, and will always be held in fond memory by the Faculty for his industrious research in Physics and diligent application to Calculus,
