Some say his de- termined will accounts for this fact, while others ascribe it to his winning personality. Buck has the combined talents of an artist and a musician as well as a good student. There are great things in store for Buck. and every good wish accompanies him as he goes forth from his Alma Mater. Leroy Perry Bukney A. B. II. Parson Greensboro, K. C.

Parson typified the man who had sought after and conipiered the highest attainments in life. An untiring worker in our literary world, a debater of note, as can be testified by a string of beaten opponents ; and a scholar of the first water. Using R. O. T. C. as an avocation, he has spent four years wearing out O.D. ' s for Uncle Sammy, which goes to prove that where there ' s a will there ' s a way. Parson ' s a captain now.

R.P. can usually be found rambling around the campus whenever the weather permits, and whether it be bright or gloomy, he has a ready smile and a greeting for everyone he meets. His quietness and lik- ability gather many a friend for him. and if he matures and increases his merits as he goes into life, we predict a wide circle of friends and success for him.

P. doesn ' t run all to length, as most people would think upon seeing him, for be- sides loftiness of statue he is possessed with a nimble brain that has made the grade in all his courses, despite the fact that illness forced him to vacation a term during his Soph year in college. Made of the stuff that spells success in all undertakings.

All iiT ,isk is lo be Id alone Sigma Pi Sigma ; ' ai-sity Track Team ; Phi Society; D Club. M.P. is a lad peculiarly indescrihable. To learn him is a task, which, while you are pursuing, you will find along the way that he holds in his innerself those ideals which count in this life. He is gifted with long legs - w ' hich have w ' on the coveted D in track, through their aptitude in clearing the bar at lofty heights. We are expecting no small things of him in after life if he holds to the principles which he has adopted dur- ing his college davs. Chang Kau Chien Tchtu Korea. One thing is forci ' cr ijood; that one lliin; is success. Chien comes to us from across the ocean, and has probably had about as easy a time in understanding our language as most of us have in mastering Greek. His pleasant smile has made him liked by all over our campus. We w ish him success as he continues his studies in this country, and when he returns to his own people to work among them.
