THOMAS C. WHITFIELD, M.A. Education He listens interestedly to others as if what they are saying is always important. ‘The field of education was well chosen by him who is so good-naturedly versed in guiding people. — MORRIS P. LANDISS, B.S. English “No man is an islande entire of ‘itselfe’.”” Favorite quotations, big words, unruly hair, and especially Time Magazine —only a few distinctive character- istics of this freshman English teacher. MISS MARGARET TRAVIS, B.S. Home Economics A friendly “good night,” a threatening “sh-h,’ and a command to “get out a piece of paper’ typify Miss ‘Travis. A ring on her engagement finger is responsible for the happy look she wears nowadays.

ALONZO WELCH, M.A. English He has the rare confidence of knowing that he knows. Students of Mr. Welch appreciate his abil- ity to teach them, but the student body as a whole first became aware of him when he gave the mem- orable chapel lecture on “Conviction.” EDWIN L. STOVER, M.A. Music The celebrity of the campus is this member of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. Energetically he rushes into band and glee club practice and directs with one strand of hair constantly dangling in his face. IRA L. NORTH, M.A. Bible, Speech, History Ira North, with his inevitable jokes and his ability to nickname everyone, is a cheery campus figure. Familiar in the fields as a hunter, he is characterized in class by his “Be that as it may’ — which is his way of ending a discussion. Well—be that as it may!

MISS JEAN DEAL, B.S. Music Her sparkling personality lends radiance to all her music, from Mozart to boogie-woogie. Next to her fondness for music is a terrific weakness for heaped- up chocolate sundaes. BATSELL BARRETT BAXTER, PH.D. Speech, Bible His colorful ties are like flags heralding his ap- proach. He speaks and the audience sits fascinated by his beautiful command of words. BATSELL BAXTER, M.A., LL.D. Bible A man of several occupations, he is partial to writ- ing, as the amount of Sunday School literature, pam- phlets, and articles he has produced testify. His students will always remember his lasting patience and his classes with their so oft-repeated jokes and illustrations.
