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.

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

G Class Poem A loyal group of students, we, Unequaled heretofore; The chosen band of DgL. C,, The Class of Twenty-four. A spirit brave we have within, % A heart that makes us work; Our faults we leave behind us now— Our aim is not to shirk. Through days and nights we all must toil, And every task perform; The one who makes the mark, we know, Must weather every storm. As time proceeds and days go by And thoughts keep crowding in, There is a hope that spurs us on— A longing to begin. Begin our work of life, we say— To set our aim so high. Yet there’s a tender feeling now Steals o’er and makes us sigh. These faces dear we’ve learned to love We cannot leave to-day; From hearts that beat with us as one, We cannot turn away. But still the time is slipping by— We know we soon must go; Lest we forget or be forgot, Our mutual love we'll show. Together we will do our best, Each other’s grace to win; We'll raise the standard of our school— We'll miss each other then. We'll all give praise to gold and white, ° And wave our daisy o’er; For ’tis the chosen band of all, The Class of Twenty-four. 7 DOROTHY NEM Ys
