Senior Class HOWARD B. PAYNE Dunlap, Tenn. Howard, as we all know him, is charged with restless energy, confident of his own abilities. He doesn’t admit the word “failure” into his vocabu- lary. His restive nature could not endure the tediung of two years of uninterrupted college work. The interims between seasons in college were spent in teaching. At present, he is the most recent victim of Cupid in the Senior Class. Lipscomb; Lipscomb Five; Lipscomb Nine; Ex- pression Club; Tennessee Club; “SEVEN WON- DERS.”’ - MARY PRATER Sparta, Tenn. Mary came to us since the holidays, and hence is too new to be known thoroughly, but we think she is an addition to our. Senior Class of which we should be proud. She ‘has the elements of a true character, and we are sure that great things are in store for her. Kappa Nu; Tennessee Club. SAMPSON LESTER Nashville, Tenn. From the name of this man, one would think him to be strong, and that is exactly what he is— strong in character. After a year’s absence, he came back to D. L. C. to finish his college course. He has strengthened the’ Class of ’24 considerably, and his loyalty to the school and his service to the student body has gained the respect of all. Whatever Sampson decides to do, he will surely succeed, for a man of his character could know nothing but success. Calliopean; Preachers’ Club; Tennessee Club, Page Twenty-Four

Senior Class DULCIE McDONALD Red Boiling Springs, Tenn.” Dulcie is one of the most reserved members of the Class. She, with a few others, really has the Senior dignity. This young lady wastes no time on any of the frivolous things of life, but finds happiness in being modest, quiet, and studious. Kappa Nu; Tennessee Club. JOE KIDD BROWN Lynnville, Tenn. The fall of ’22 ushered into our halls our friend, Joe Kidd Brown. The following fall he diligently sought to learn the fundamentals of medicine, by which he may be able to alleviate the pain of suf- fering humanity. He has been faithful to his task, with an occasional Saturday night off to see his best girl. But for his faithfulness he leaves the sacred halls of D. L. C. with a “‘sheepskin”’’ under his left arm and a pill box in his right hand. Luck to you, Doc!

Irma specializes in foreign languages. She can “euss’’ you out in four different languages, and yet the way she does it is marvelous. She has the deter- mination and grit that carries one over the roughest hills. Nothing but success can follow her in life.

IMM 4) Postgraduate TIPTON €. WILCOX Murray, Ky. Tipton came to D. L. C. in °1%, and graduated in ’19. His mind was rather changeable during this period, and it was hard for him to decide whether to stay in school or not. After graduation in ’19, he taught in Tennessee, and the following summer he held protracted meetings. In 1920 he taught again, but in his native State, and in 1921 came back to D. L. C. to do postgraduate work, and also pursue a course in Peabody. He is still pursuing this course at Peabody, but remains with us at D. L. C., too. To know-Tipton is to know pleasure, for he has a witty remark and a smile for every one, ‘‘Mischief Maker’ would be a good name for him. The Senior Class of ’24 wishes for him great success in his future work. Page Twenty-Five Senior Class A. SMITH CHAMBERS Sheffield, Ala. “Smithy” has qualities which make him a man. He is possessed of a manly body and a soul that grows. He is an orator who paints with words what artists only dare to dream. He ranks among the first in his argumentative qualities. The world shall see him and be glad; shall hear him and be wise. Senior Lipscomb; Five; Alabama Club; Glee Club; Freed-Hardeman Club; Tennis Club; Orator.
