KATHARINE TILLY Bristol, Tennessee Varsity Basket-ball, ’23, '24; Honor Roll, ’23; Girls'Council.’23; Tennis Team,'23 ; Golf Club; Sphinx Staff, ’24. Katharine is a rather unusual combination of athletic, scholar and all-’round girl. She stars in most branches of athletics and stands without a peer in school work. Nor are her qualities thus limited, for she has that knack of making a friend of every one she meets. When her work here is completed she will carry the light of knowledge to Brazil from whence she cainc, and while her genial good-will and cheery presence will be missed on this campus, yet all join in giving her their heartiest wishes for a great success. 60

Grace entered Martha Washington in the fall of 1920 as one of those seventy-five worthy members of the Freshman class, though later she wandered to Emory as the first Co-Ed. She has held a number of positions, and is one who can always be depended on to think through a question and determine the right course to pursue. She has been elected to the responsible position as president of the girls' council. But most of all we arc proud of her because she is secretary of the Virginia Volunteer Movement and she plans to go to China in July as a Missionary. All of her classmates send with her their heartiest wishes and know that she will be successful in her great work. 59

After a brief absence spent in the business world, “Peter J. returned to college and enrolled with the class of '24. Both his Alma Mater and the members of his class will long hold him in esteem, because of the services rendered in instigating a new form of endowment, which is based on the principles of Christian tithing. His role in college activities has been played in a four-fold manner—athletics, literary, journalistic, and academic. His popularity on the campus is second to none. On his graduation Sunny Tennessee” will receive an orator, and a man of ability.
