We have come from different sections, but our interests have always been the same — the advancement of the West Tennessee State Normal, the institu- tion which has meant so much to each of us in our days here and will inspire us, year after year, to strive to attain the better things in life.

She has also participated in many student activities, her chief activity being as Editor-in-Chief of The Columns. Let X b the unknown quality and the result of John. We have never quite analyzed him, but w e recognized him by his interest in all things and his good nature. We also admire him for his patience and determination. Beneath Ada ' s dignity and seriousness as a member of the Siudent Government, Secretary of the Senior Class, and president of Kappa Lambda Sigma there lies a strain of humor that w ins for her many friends.
