The old bell was loyal to duty, and never allowed us to shirk. It called us to dinner or pleasure, and as willingly called us to work. It called us to greet our dear teachers; their smiles—O, I see them to-day! And, somehow, I can’t see a shadow that ever came sneaking our way. It called us to join our most favored, the one most beloved name, For a walk on the college campus or a talk in its hall of fame. It called us to worship on Sunday, with tones just a litttle more clear, For the soul of the hearer was lifted, and its call brought a message more dear. That old bell rang doom to our frolics, as its tones filled the Gym o’er the way, And with hearts full of hope for the morrow we parted to await the new day. Then again it rang doom to our slumber when at six of the longed-for new day We were called to arise and possess it before it should wander away. Dear Old Bell, how we miss your kind warning since out in the warfare of life! But we’re glad to have had your direction to prepare us for duties now rife. ’Tis years since I walked in the shadow of Lipscomb’s old walls and her trees; ’Tis years since I followed my comrades up and down, in and out among these. But the bell holds its old place forever in my heart as I wander around, And it opens an album of pictures when I hear its deep, echoing sound. Though I’m miles from my College this evening and oceans and shores are between, There are scenes that come into my memory as clear as a fine pictured screen. That old bell, I know, is still calling to those who make Lipscomb their choice, And ever its lesson is teaching to all who obey its clear voice. It’s storing up treasures for others in memory’s garden most fair That will lighten the heart of the old man by lifting his burden of care; And the sound of that bell through the ages will quicken his spirit with love, As he thinks of the joys of old Lipscomb—one College all others above.

Time for parting now draws nigh. With happy thoughts we adorn thee, As we whisper our last good-by. We breathe within our hearts a prayer That when we are parted far, The lessons learned within thy walls Will be our guiding star. The two short years spent in thy care, Time cannot make us forget; Our love will strengthen with the years, Leaving us nothing to regret. For as we look into the fading past, And view the thorns once we knew, Memory brings them back to us, Like flowers smiling in the dew. Classmates, to-day with sails unfurled We start on life’s broader stream, Whose surging currents will sometimes Overwhelm our fondest dream. But to the school we love so well Let us ever faithful be; Striving in the battles of life, Win laurels for D. L. C. Dear teachers, we shall not forget, As we tread the highway of life, Your lessons of encouragement When we meet with care and strife. Farewell, farewell, dear Alma Mater! How we would love to stay! But Duty whispers to us softly: “Come away, away, away!” KATHLEEN BEARDAIN. i i ie x X A - : ny : a hyn i ZA A a WA = ae NC - = , ii ns ty} Dunes ; ny Ve Ns ie ante : = r , i! i ‘ “ioe i : r Ay + . 1 ys ‘ FS PROUT ie Sei ( Wee HALON ae gs ¥ a : MART Rt URAL Cem Na Ses wy HA “TWENTY MORGAN AND STANLEY POOLE, MAscots SENIOR CLASS Colors: White and Gold Flower: Yellow Rose Motto: Astra ducente usque ad finem’’ OFFICERS STERLING S.

When the guide announced that we had reached Delphi, the place of the ancient oracle, I sat down beside a cleft in the ground to rest. I was so tired from sight-seeing; my eyes were very heavy, and this was such a comfortable spot. The Pythia stood before me—yes, a priestess of the temple of Apollo. After drink- ing from the holy spring near by and chewing some laurel leaves, she gracefully took her seat upon a tripod over the cleft in the ground. Then I noticed a strange vapor arising, almost enveloping the Pythia. While I was looking and wondering, I heard her speak. The name she called sounded familiar. “Did you say J. M. Taft?” I asked. “Yes, he is the person who will disclose the beauties of the tenth Trojan city. By this he will gain great renown as an excavator.” “OQ, faithful priestess of the aged, reverend, and renowned oracle, you spoke of one of the Class of ’27 wh� left D. L. C. only two years ago. Will you favor me with more of your precious wisdom of the future of the other members of this class?” The priestess seemed to pay little attention to what I had said; but, as if intoxicated by the strange fumes rising all about her, she went on. “Lindsay Allen, one of the favorites of your class, will be a great doctor in Birming- ham, Ala. His heart will always be the greatest part of his anatomy. Kathleen Bear- dain, who was an outstanding student on the campus of D. L. C., will again be promi- nent there as the wife of the president of the college, Elmer Taylor. Plato Britton will also spend many more years there as professor of Greek in the place of Brother Rainey.” All of this was intensely interesting to me; so I leaned forward to hear more from the wonderful Pythia of the future of my friends. “Jiminie Byers, after gaining quite a fortune, will be hailed as the ‘American Prince of Wales,’ always attracting the unusual admiring glances from the fairer sex. Sarah Cawthon will have charge of the Clarence J. Gardner Orphanage, and will do a great work. Janice Craig will win the title of ‘Miss Birmingham’ and ‘Miss America,’ and finally decide to be a missionary in India. Mr. Elbert Cunningham, the argumentative psychology student while at D. L. C., will acquire great fame by his book proving that fishing worms do not have intelligence. His future wife, now Frances Ralston, will always be an inspiration to him. Forrest Deacon will become an influential politician and will serve in the Tennessee Legislature. Homer Dudley’s name will be great in the musical world. On his numerous farewell tours of the country he will always be her- alded as the modern McCormick. Mary Eastes’ short stories will be read far and wide. Frances Parkes, much to the surprise of every one, will become manicurist in a New York beauty shop.” My heart filled with pride to hear the illustrious futures of my classmates unfolded; but, after all, it was to be expected. “Jesse Fox will become immensely wealthy by the large sale of Fox’s Freckle Cream. Nelson Gardner will become professor of English in Harvard, while Kennedy Green will bring himself into prominence by his oratory and will be considered as good ‘presi- dential timber.’ James Gwin will be a noted doctor, curing more people by his jokes than by his medicine. Mollie Halecomb, needless to say, will spend the rest of her life in Thyatira, Miss., at the old Lewers homestead. Clyde Hale will be a noted evangelist, and his greatest sermon will always be his laugh, no matter what text he chooses for the pulpit. Mary Ellen Hendricks will teach Latin at Randolph-Macon, while Jimmie Hicks will become a great architect. Margaret Hogan will never be able to stay away from D. L.

Abe Hoover will rise to great heights in the med- ical world, finally becoming superintendent of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.” _“O, most wonderful Pythia, it is no wonder that the great kings and warriors of an- cient days came to you for counsel! Your every word is a pleasure.’ She seemed to be looking farther and farther into the future, and paid no attention to me. oi HE glen which we were entering was full of wild gardens, underground caverns, WU, The BACKLOG 7 fei: | WENTY SEVEN “Th eresa Hovious will be a noted woman scientist of her day, and will bequeath her brain to science to be used after her death for proof that women are more intelligent than men. Edith Howard’s name will also be illustrious in the field of science, and she will write a book on ‘How to Keep Thin,’ which will have a great sale. Herman Jent will soon be head of a large jewelry house, always supplying D. L. C. students with wedding rings and class jewelry. Armstrong Jones, after much labor, will finally reach the height of his ambition as head of the ‘Ideal Laundry.’ Sterling S. Jones will be a wealthy Wall Street banker, while his wife, better known to you as Olga Kivett, will be New York’s society leader. Ruth Jordan’s name will be flashed on many a sign- board as a Metropolitan Opera star. Ruth Journey will be head of the English depart- ment at Peabody, while Evelyn Kirk will go to India as a missionary, where she may ° talk incessantly.” All this was much as to be expected, nor was I surprised at what followed. “Gq. L. Landis will be the model for ‘Arrow Collar’ advertisements, which will en- hance the sale of them very much. Guy Lewers will be the Will Rogers of his day, only changing his slogan, ‘Now Shakespeare said.’ S. P. Lowery will be a stanch preacher of the faith, while Sam B. McFarland will be a successful M.D. of Tuscumbia, Ala. Music composed by Charles McKissick will be played by all the leading orchestras. Edith Morrow’s basketball team, of Maury County High, will win national honors. Charles Oliver will be a successful merchant of McMinnville, Tenn.” The next words of the Pythia were quite a surprise to me, but still we never can tell. “Virginia Dare Pearson will marry the railroad magnate, Philip Tune. Virginia’s chief pleasure will be in seeing her fine race horses go on to victory. Ruby Pigg will teach French in Abilene Christian College. Frances Phillips will win fame as a child actress, overshadowing Mary Pickford by far. Frances Ross will be accompanist for Emerson Simpkins, who will become a great concert singer. Cathryn Thompson will be head of a very exclusive girls’ school, while Polly Thompson will be the happy wife of Kennedy Green. W. B. West will be a preacher of the gospel, with his favorite ap- pointment at Sparta. .Octava Wood will go on the screen, taking the place of Pola Negri. . Elsie McAfee will paint magazine covers for Paul Setliff’s popular publication. Katherine Binkley will be a beloved nurse at the Vanderbilt Hospital.” With this last word, the Pythia was completely enveloped by the strange vapor, and she faded away as mysteriously as she had come. I wanted to ask her a question con- cerning my own future, but while trying to call her back, I was awakened by the guide telling me it was time for us to leave Delphi. Upon telling the guide of my wonderful dream, he assured me that it would come true, as all dreams of people sleeping there always do. So, classmates, read your future and take hope! 3 =|” RVENTY SEVEN ON SENIORS 40 — a ue Wy AH 4 “TWENTY SEVEN mite ue Ha, THE CAMPUS 41 poos suing wooy uondasay uojeay ur 3urAeig SUIPeOYy , UseI8,, SUNDV punose ,ulooy isn .

L. C. TRAIL. Can it really be the end? Surely our walk together has not come so quickly to its close! For two years we have labored and formed friendships one with another, ever looking toward the day of graduation. Now it is facing us far, far too soon. In but a little while there will be left only the heartaches of farewells and memories. But what a host of beautiful memories we have to cherish! We even remember that sunny day in September, 1925, when we first met. We call to mind the first friendly words of those who have since become such dear pals. Far more vividly do we remem- ber the unspeakable joy of the reunion in September, 1926, when, as Seniors, we locked hearts together in a determination to serve our College as a class had never done before. There are happy memories of class meetings, always opened with the reading of the Master’s word and with prayer for His guidance, and consisting of delightful numbers rendered by different ones of you. The party we supervised at Halloween, the outings, the surprise party given us one night by Brother Boles, and many other joyous occasions, are our treasures in memory’s storehouse. Different ones of you have brought honors to us which we shall never forget. Mr. Kennedy Green was winner of the 1926 Calliopean Oratorical Contest and of the 1927 Founder’s Day Contest. Mr. W. B. West was awarded the medal in the 1927 Lipscomb Contest. Five of the debaters chosen to represent the College during this year were Seniors. How happy we were when as Juniors seven of our number received first places in the Who’s Who Contest! And how much happier we were this year when twelve first places were awarded to Seniors! We also have some rather unusual honors. For in- stance, we have with us the two young men who have been students in David Lipscomb College for the longest period of time. They are Mr. Sterling Jones, who has been our splendid President for both years and who has spent thirteen years as a student here, and Mr. Armstrong Jones, who has a record of eight years. In the various fields of athletics different ones of you have always been leaders. When we were Juniors, our girls’ team won in the Junior-Senior championship series, while as Seniors both of our teams were victorious. Seven of our number were chosen for the All-School Basketball Teams of 1927. There are other honors which all of you have brought to us by the noble lives you have lived here. You have on e and all been ever ready to serve one another and the school. You have been hard workers, and, as a result, you have tasted of success. We are especially honored by those of you who are working your way through school, and we are glad that you make up over one-third of our number. We remember with particular joy that so many of you young men have given much of your time to God and the preaching of His word. But we must talk no more about those memories. We have written our history here. In Life another awaits our writing, and the pen we must use may prove far more un- wieldy. But may that history be as worthy as the one here has been. Let us fill our lives with as much purity as the white and as much sunshine as the gold of our colors. Let us enhance them with all the simple beauty of our flower, the yellow rose. Clinging ever closely to our motto, ‘‘The Ideal Even to the End,” may we so labor and serve that at the end of Life’s Trail the Supreme Historian will write by our names, ‘‘Well Done.” Loyally, A member of the Class of ’27, RuTH JOURNEY. 44 ys iM | IWENTY SEVEN Tin yee JUNIOR OFFICERS Basit Hat : ; : : : : ‘ : ; : . ‘ : : : President Puzzling Neti Ciark . : ; oy Or .

Merriment and mirth prevailed throughout the assembly. Who could have been happier than our class? The hearts of former associates were made glad by a renewal of their friendship, and this gladness was re- enforced by welcoming into their ranks the faces of new students, whom they received with cordial hospitality. The house was called to order after acquaintances had been made and a general get- together party had concluded. After a short series of opinions had been given and commented on, the plausible one was: Let us, in imagination, consider the c ass aboard a ship on the Sea of Life! The ship now lies at rest in a calm harbor, and bef re we start our journey adequate preparations must be provided. Some one suggested: “We need a pilot.” By vote, Basil Hall, a trustworthy old seaman, was chosen. Four years will be required to complete this voyage through College, and all of us set forth with a grim determination to succeed. We deem it necessary to say that the Faculty will be our compass over the rough sea of school life, and will also assist greatly in steering the ship past the treacherous shoals. Our class means to discard the usual enormous waste in fruitless efforts and keep a straight course of right and justice, clear of the capes and bays, which our ship might perchance tend to enter. The Junior Class means to get a broader view of life than to merely cling to mate- rialistic or factual knowledge. We do not intend to chain ourselves to the difficult or impossible tasks in which one cannot become interested, but are going to try, like the faithful servant in the parable, to use wisely the talents given us; t work with our powers and not against them. The Juniors believe in directing all efforts toward the discovery of the master keys which will open the many doorways into world knowledge. The Hall of Fame is represented on our flagship. Nell Clark, our efficient Secretary, receives a twofold honor of being the most cheerful student, and also the biggest talker in D, L. C. Marvin Mann, formerly of Morgan’s School, was voted the best boy athlete in the College. Many others of our class, however, received honorable mention. The class has had one motive in view, and that is to make the Junior Class one of the best in history. We think we can truly say that we are a happy band of pilgrims voy- aging in search of the fountain of knowledge. Let us always remember that in order to “arrive,” a life, ike a ship, must be headed toward a port. Wl V4 JOHN B. WILLIAMS. 50 =| IWENTY OEVEN 3 JUNIOR SNAPSHOTS a tn rn al The BACKLOG A. G@. FREED Vice President of David Lipscomb College PRINCIPAL OF HIGH-SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Brother A. G. Freed has held a prominent place among the educators of the South for many years. He has had almost half a century of experience training the youth of America. Among the positions which he has held are: President of Georgia Robertson Christian College, Henderson, Tenn.; Southwestern Christian College, Denton, Texas; and for four years Vice President of David Lipscomb College. No more faithful, consecrated Christian can be found, nor a man of wider experience as an educator and preacher of the gospel. Brother Freed leaves the College this year to serve it in an entirely different way, but we know that he only leaves because he feels that he can do a greater service in the field. The BacktoG Staff and the entire school wish for him the greatest of success and happiness in his new work. 52 “TIWENTY SEVEN SLES . The BACKLOG rhe i 4h) t) MMU SS x t] Be el ye SENIOR.

This year it has made one of its greatest strides by securing admittance into the Southern Asso- ciation of Secondary Schools, thus gaining for itself the standing for which it so earnestly strived. Extensive is the work of this department, and the Senior Class of ’27 stands out prominently as representative of its training. The Senior High material was collected in September, 1926, and through strenuous tests has proved itself to be the strongest edifice ever built in the High-School Depart- ment of David Lipscomb College. Built of thirty stones strongly cemented together, the structure has resisted the attacks of its opponents and has to its credit many worthy accomplishments. The entire school rejoiced at the success attained by the High-School Basketball Quint which was made up of Seniors, as it crossed swords with prominent teams on the local courts. Besides athletic achievements, the class is noted for its lit- erary success, there being among its ranks members who are on a level with college students in many respects. In the class are found orators, debaters, preachers, poets, artists, and musicians—all having high ambitions for success. The class has been faithful in the discharge of every trust and duty which has been theirs, thus exemplifying its motto: ‘‘To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” This June we are leaving our Alma Mater. We shall look back somewhat with low spirits at having to depart, and shall regret the disbandment of the class. Our time here has been short, and yet it has been filled to the measure with joyful times and happy companionships, and distant is the day when they will fade from our memories. JOHN A.

He is preparing him- self for the gospel ministry, and we believe he possesses those qualities that make a Christian character. : OMA MORTON CoLUMBIA, TENNESSEE Kappa Nu; Commercial Club; Tennessee Club; Tennis Club.

Each of its members has rendered to the College some service or has received some mark of distinction for which the class is justly proud. There are only twelve members of this class, but the quality of work that they have done justifies every hope the school has had in them. The President of the class, Mr. Walker, has been instrumental in securing from some of the best nursery companies in Tennessee a donation of trees and shubs for the Col- lege campus. He has spared neither time nor energy in getting the foundation laid for a campus park, which will be a place of beauty in future years. This work will live to his memory forever. Miss Brown, Miss Carter, Miss Moss, and Mr. Fox have been very successful as mem- bers of the Faculty, and have done work that is worthy of note. Miss Brown is also serving faithfully as Secretary to the President of the College, and Mr. Fox has the honor of being voted the ugliest man in school. Miss Bryson and Miss Thompson have been faithful workers for the Babbler and the BACKLOG, and have been untiring in their efforts to give of their best. Mr. Hovious has worked diligently as Business Manager of the Babbler; and, as an additional honor, he won the Calliopean medal for the Oratorical Contest on February 22. Mr. McKelvey, stenographer for the BACKLoG and for the class, has given cheerful service of the very highest type. Miss Parker has served as Secretary for one of the literary societies, and has made a record as a faithful student. Miss McGill, who receives diplomas in both Music and Expression this year, has often appeared before world audiences over radio, and her talent has often given pleasure to large audiences at D. L. C. The Third-Year College Class is glad to leave to D. L. C. this record of good works, and, as a class, it will always be faithful in word and deed to the College that has given it instruction, inspiration, and great happiness.

But during the last thirteen years this light has flashed far across the horizon of our great country. There are girls of many States whose lives have been iliuminated by this light while within the walls of D. L. C., and they, in turn, now shed this brilliance on their surroundings wherever they be. The different bands of girls who have gathered under the common banner ‘“Sappho- nean” year after year in our dear Alma Mater have been welded together in one ilius- trious group. They have all learned to love the same pure, beautiful colors—lavender and white. Under these colors they have rejoiced in triumph and success, and under the same they have learned the important lesson of how to take defeat. By close and dear association, not only with other Sapphos, but with that sweet, in- tangible spirit always in the society meetings, all these girls have learned to love, revere, and speak the name “Sapphonean” almost like that of “‘mother.”’ But, best of all, these faithful girls have caught the meaning of our motto: “Thus We Journey to the Stars.” This third bond of our inseparable union has been an inspi- ration to many a young life, and will be a sweet meditation to many of them in years to come. May none of our band of ’27 ever lose sight of this goal! After looking over our past record of such fine sportsmanship, entertaining and ele- vating programs, and the high grade of literary work done by many of our band, we clearly see that the spirit of Sappho is not dead, for the spirit of the wonderful poetess of centuries ago, the first woman to gain prominence, and considered by many to be one of the muses, still lives and is manifested by the efforts and accomplishments of the faithful band of girls now wearing her name. Every Sappho should be proud of her name, which carries our minds back to such a great woman of the past, and all should also be proud of our high motto, bringing to our minds our large span of possibilities and opportunities. These certainly give us something to work for, and, as pilgrims to this high goal, let us always be true to the lavender and white and hearken to the spirit of Sappho! 69 ‘IWENTY SEVEN The BACKLOG “RWENTY SEVEN CALLIOPEAN ROLL Linpsay ALLEN Howarp ANDREWS Branpon BAKER Porter BAKER James Byers GLEN Burton Jack BENDER Conrap CorpELAND W.

SETLIFF Ray ANDERSON _WENTY SEVEN THE CALLIOPEAN LITERARY SOCIETY | de THE year 1902 there came into being an organization destined to mold and shape the lives of men—the Calliopean Literary Society. Since its ushering in, it has blazed the trail and marked the way that leads to a higher and nobler life. Along this highway an innumerable caravan moves. The immortal words, “Truth our guide, success our aim,” fires the aspirations of men and causes innate slumbering powers to rise and blossom like the rose. Of her mem- bers, many now fill places of distinction. Their success is due greatly to training re- ceived under her tutelage. In every field of endeavor the Calliopeans have been wrapped in glory and crowned with success. From the athletic combat she comes forth a mighty conqueror. In forensic combat her banner has never trailed the dust. In oratory she holds her own. On February 22 she held her third oratorical contest in commemoration of the birthday anniversary of her illustrious founder and first President, H. Leo Boles. To-day she stands with outstretched arms welcoming all who would of her treasures share. The spirit of those who have been privileged to share in her heritage inspires. With implicit faith in Him who notes the sparrow’s fall and knows all things, her mem- bers press on to lofty heights.

Students of other schools cannot always have as = sweet memories of their school days as those that attend David Lipscomb College, because it is the finest school anywhere. Every student that ever attended D. L. C. still remembers with the fondest thoughts those days when they were in school at D. L. C. When we begin to think of those pleasant times and imagine we are back in the halls that we once loved so well, we at once begin to picture our friends. Those of us that are members of the Lipscomb Society will remember her as our best friend. There were friends who stuck to us part of the time, but none stuck through thick and thin so well as the dear old society. None of our friends were so true and uplifting. She strove hard always ‘‘to develop all that is good and honorable” in us. To such a friend we owe much of our success. Let us ever remember the school days at D. L. C. and our good friend who backed us in our contests. May we ever keep before us the motto of the society: “To develop all that is good and honorable.” “TIWENTY SEVEN “IWENTY SEVEN 3 LIPSCOMB SNAPSHOTS 78 _WENTY SEVEN Pee Ce SORT SOGIE lay H. J.

He’s always ready with a funny answer (the teachers can vouch for that), and you never catch him with the “blues.” CATHRYN THOMPSON... . . Meekest “Kate is our little sister. We don’t hear her say much, but that’s a si gn she thinks a lot. We all love her, because she is just her sweet, gentle self. RUTH JOURNEY .... . Most Intellectual It’s a divine gift—this mental ability. Of. course the whole school thinks Ruth has more of it than any one else. We guess she’s about the smartest child there is. MILDRED KENDRICKS.. . Most Original You never can tell just what Mildred will say— or do—next. She is a constant surprise to even her most intimate friends. She is quite an artist, and it may be artistic temperament. MARY ELLEN HENDRICKS .. . . Jolliest Here’s one girl everybody’s always glad to see— she doesn’t load her burdens and cares off on her friends. You ought to be up on third floor of Avalon some time, get M’Ellen’s roommate to tickle her, and you’ll hear some real laughing. ELMER TAYLOR - « « Most Studious Elmer modestly disclaims any right to this honor. He is evidently one of those fortunates who have greatness thrust upon them. At any rate, he’s co-salutatorian of his class. SARAH McGILL... - .« Most Talented If you have ever heard Sarah play, you under- stand why all regard her as the most talented stu- dent in D. L. C. She has music in her very fin- ger tips—and she is a “born actress.’”’ Her drama work is some of the best in the school. 112 all “ ] Ty U ut he PACKLOG | IWENTY SEVEN WINNERS IN THE WHO’S WHO CONTEST ELMER TAYLOR .. . Best All-round Student Yes, girls, here he is again. You can’t keep a good man down. Elmer finds time to study, edit the BacKuoG, do outside work, and court his girl— all in twenty-four little hours. SAM McFARLAND .. .. . . Most Gallant If you don’t believe Sam is gallant, just drop your pencil or handkerchief next time you pass him—or ask Gwendolyn. Seriously speaking, though, Sam is a nice, polite boy. NEEL CLARK ii ivstveuley ) ueutost Cheerful Remember that time Nell got the ‘blues’ and eried on everybody’s shoulder? Neither do we. Nell’s always smiling, or singing, or laughing—or doing something to let people know “‘all’s right with the world.” — VERNON M. SPIVEY . .. . . Most Prompt Mr. Spivey believes that “punctuality is the courtesy of princes.’’ He probably has lots of other princely traits yet undiscovered that he’ll show the world some day. KENNEDY GREEN BRATS ke its aiULN insti Brightest Prospect for Future Here’s your orator—the future greatest criminal lawyer and statesman in the world. And, besides that, he made a recent trip to Russellville, Ala., you know, and—but there, ask Polly. GLADYS BRYSON He eau bation eilitad UN eabe se They say that “‘cleanliness is next to godliness.” We believe that this girl’s heart and soul are as pure and sweet as her person and her surround- ings. NEE CHARS so Sania ssh’ SBegoess Palker You know, little ‘“‘Kate’’ doesn’t talk much, but thinks a lot. Well, now, Nell talks a lot; so we wonder if it follows—but we aren’t insinuating anything. Anyway, we’re glad Nell talks, because her sayings are usually full of fun.

Within a short time the boys developed into a fast team. They were admitted to the T. S. S. A. and entered the Nashville District Tournament. They won over Hume-Fogg High School in their first game by the score of 14-13. After winning over Hume-Fogg, they met Cathedral, who eliminated them by the count of 17-9. In the consolation tournament they were eliminated by Hume-Fogg by the score ‘of 24-15. The team also entered the Nashville Banner’s T. I. A. A. Tournament. They de- feated Tate High School in their first game by the score of 30-7. They were eliminated in their second game by B. G. A., who won by a slight margin of 2 points, the score being, 15-13. The team impressed the spectators at every game with their speed and durability. Not in a single game were they defeated until the final whistle blew. Not only did the team work hard, but all the students of D. L. C. did their part. At every game there was a large delegation cheering the boys on toward victory. Let us hope for a championship team next year. 121 “TWENTY he BACKLOG GIRUS) FENNIS CEU OFFICERS Mitprep KeEnpRICcKS President Oca KivetTr .
