MR. A. W. BREEDEN: Men’s minds cannot be judged by their height, for, though small in stature, he is one of the great among us. Our poet in the faculty who has risen on stepping-stones of his de¬ termination, becoming famous only through many and great mistakes. MR. E. L. LORD: And should he not be considered great? To have made the Seniors feel like Freshies, to have proven that he who thinks he knows most knows least—is, indeed, an accom¬ plishment. But even in our blissful ignorance we honor, esteem and ad¬ mire him. MISS ELIZABETH TROUSDALE: She does not hide her gladness, but lets others share it, making us forget today’s failure and only think of the success that may come tomorrow, MR. FRANK BOGARD: Honored and esteemed by all who know him well, although few have sounded the depth of his nature. MR. C. L. CHAMBERS: An earnest worker in the effort to make our boys good farmers, but dis¬ couraging them in matrimony by his “high cost of living.” Certainly he has forgotten it is leap year. MISS ELIZABETH YOUNG: She has proven to us “Music hath charms,” and at the same time she un¬ knowingly has shown us the effect of both music and beauty when com¬ bined. MR. W. M. BUCIvLIN: How we wish each period might be his, for, when we sec him, we long for his violin. MR. J. T. FOLK: Most all the young men like the nice, pretty girls, and “Tommy” is no exception. He manages to slip in a few moments just before chapel, even when it begins at 8:00 sharp. MR. W. S. HANCOCK: Better known as “Scott.” He likes the girls, too, but the greatest of these is “Charity.” MISS CHARITY ROSENDALE: Her fair face, sweet smile, and cheery greeting won our Southern hearts and we forget she isn’t one of us. WALTER BARR: Just lately become a member of the faculty and hasn’t yet been recog¬ nized as “Mr.” by those who knew him so well as the football player, Barr! 4 11
