MRS. BERRY Hall Teacher Very attractive in personal appearance is our hall teacher. She was once voice teacher of Hillman and a very fine one she was, for she has a beautiful soprano voice. Mrs. Berry has many friends and is loved by all who know her. Her strong will and determination to do what seems right makes her even more attractive. Not a single ’Stute girl enjoys a good ball game more than Mrs. Berry does. No one could he more anxious for M. C. to win a good game than she. MISS ANNIE WATSON BARNARD Expression This is Miss Barnard’s fifth session at Hill- man College. Her popularity and efficiency as a teacher are plainly shown by the large classes she has always had. Miss Barnard has studied in Knoxville and in Chicago. Dean and Mrs. Henry Lawrence Southwick have been two of her teachers. Miss Barnard is one of the most popular chaperons with the young people, for she is not so far from her own school days and un- derstands the feelings of school girls. In Miss Barnard we find a true and sin- cere sympathizer. MISS AVERILLA BUCKLEY Matron “Auntie” is the best matron in the state. She has been with 11s four years and during this time has won for herself a place :n the heart of every one who has come in contact with her. Not only is she matron, but also the capable nurse of the hospital. There is nothing that Auntie will not do for us when we need her. She is kind and gentle and is always ready to aid someone.

MR. M. P. L. BERRY Vice-President A better and more popular vice-president there never was. His wit and lack of self- consciousness, besides bis winning personality, honesty, kindness towards everybody, and big-heartedness, make everyone his friend. Besides being our vice-president, he is our efficient science teacher. His long service as treasurer in the Baptist church shows that be knows how to handle money, and would have made good in finan- cial circles, for his business judgment is keen. DR. B. G. LOWREY, LL.D. One of the foremost educators in the entire South is Dr. B. G. Lowrey, who for thirteen years was President of Blue Mountain Col- lege, then for six years was President of Amarillo Texas Military Academy and now is Field Secretary of Mississippi College. His ability is recognized all over the South. His influence as a religious leader is felt through- out this and surrounding states. As a chapel speaker we have never heard his equal. At making and holding friends he has no su- perior. W. T. LOWREY, D.D., LL.D., President There are so many good things about Dr. Lowrey, considering the attractiveness of his personality, the scope of his knowledge, the extent of his denominational and educational activities, the width of his influence for good upon the state, and his position on all impor- tant questions, it would take years to tell. He is a big man — was made in a big mould, and for big things. Dr. Lowrey is one of Mississippi’s most cultured and consecrated ministers, a vigor- ous writer and a Christian gentleman of the highest type. Page Seven

MISS BIRDIE GURNEY Mathematics In Miss Gurney we find an energetic, sin- cere little woman. She is a friend and helper to all and we feel that in her we have a treas- ure not to be surpassed. She has a kind word and a cheery smile for every one. In her work as teacher of mathematics we find her very efficient. She believes in making her pupils learn math, but we are sure that none of us will ever learn as much as she knows. She inspires every one of us to do the ver best that is in 11s. MRS. T. M. LEWIS History and Physiology When Hillman was known as C. F. I. there graduated here in the ' 80 ' s a beautiful young woman, Theodosia Miller. Not long after- ward she met her ideal and together they spent a few short, but very happy, years, when he had to leave her forever to answer the call of the Heavenly Father. She has two devoted children, one of whom is also a gradu- ate of Hillman. For twelve years she has held a position in Hillman, and has given the girls much kind advice. She can take the down-hearted or homesick girl and with her arms about her and one of her tender smiles can “make the sun shine from behind the clouds ' MISS PEARL LEAVELL English and Domestic Science There are very few things about which Miss Leavell knows nothing. It seems as though she made a special study of everything. She can cook the most delicious dishes, make the most perfect button holes and teach Rhetoric perfectly. She can also patch and darn. If you don’t believe it, just ask some of the Do- mestic Art girls ! Although Miss Leavell lives near “Ole Miss. ’ she ' s not the least bit sorry that M. C. won the State Championship in football. This is Miss Leavell ' s first year in Hillman, but we hope to have her with us for a long time. Page Sine «
