EPHRAIM C. BUCK, Jr O mad some ' ow ' r the ' jiftic gie lis To see onrseli ' es as others see us. Ph. B. ; Frederick D. Kershner Literary So- ciety ; Winner of Oscar M. Fair Oratorical Con- test, 1911; Supreme Bach of Bachelors ' Club; Midni ght Club. Eph is a Virginian, a ' ilson Democrat, and a one-horse school-teacher, but we can forgive him for all this, as he has determined to live in blessed singleness, or single lilessedness, which- ever it may be. From childhood Slick has had Senatorial aspirations, but we are afraid his fondness for croquet will keep him from wearing the Senatorial toga. As an orator Eph is the equal of W. J. Bryan. JOHN WILLl.XM PRATHER Beware of false ro hets that eoiiie to you in slieep ' s clotliiug, for imvardly tliey are rai ' cniuii wolves. Ph. B. ; Member of American Literary Society. John is the Beau Brummer ' of our class, and takes especial pains to be agreeable to the ladies. He came to us in our Junior year, being a gradu- ate of McLean College preparatory department. He is very careful to assume a dignified de- meanor and stately step in the presence of the faculty. John has been rather morose this year, and some attribute it to the departure of a young lady formerly of our class. 15

SiMiMWW ' WM MYHR WHITE III days of old upon the hill, He irod the ground which now is still ; He studied hard and won his fame — for his knoivledge of Creek and Latin he can ' t be blamed. A. B. ; Frederick D. Kershner Literary Society ; Villagers. Myhr has at last reached the end of his rope at Milligan. After April showers have made May flowers, he will tuck his long-co eted little A. B. under his arm and go out to tell the world that he has graduated. He has passed his college career without being pierced by Cupid ' s dart. The Frederick D. Kershner Literary Society has been graced by his presence since its organiza- tion, and he ever proved to be a member who was willing to help the society bear its many burdens. We sincerely hope that in the future Myhr will drop his alias and henceforth and forevermore look the world in the face in his undiluted form — Ananias. NELLE ELY BRUMIT tollie Her life is gentle, and the elements so mixed in- her that we might stand up and sav to all the world, THIS IS A WOMAN. A. B. ; Ossolian Literary Society. Nelle has designs upon a certain young preacher at present engaged in chicken-raising. She has all the requirements for an ideal circuit rider ' s wife, and we prophesy that she will be a success in this vocation. Nelle ' s specialties are Latin. Greek, and letter-writing. She is some- what of a musician, and her favorite selection is, It ' s a Long Way to Indian Springs, But My Heart ' s Right There. 14

SSfMWWKM NATHANIEL C. T. BURCHFIELD Lord. Lord, how this n ' orld is given to lying! Ph. B. ; Frederick D. Kershner Literary Soci- ety ; Bachelors ' Chib; Villagers. Insect, or just Nat. as he is generally known, is an honest, hard-working fellow, devot- ing most of his time planning to hoodwink the Profs. He is said to have argued with sign- posts by the hour. Ask Dick Forbes about Insect as a debater. Insect is a frequent visitor at the Normal. We do not know the at- traction out there, but he says that his love is universal and there is no danger. KATHERINE BURRUS N o simple duty is forgot; Life lias no dim and lonely spot Thai doth not in her sunshine share. ' Graduate in Music ; Leader of Orchestra. Instructor of Violin, and Kate has a record of two hundred and fifty words per minute, and can perform on the stove as well as on the fiddle, Kate says that love is the harmonizing of two souls — well, if experience is a teacher she ought to know. She is the only one who was ever known to draw tears to the eyes of Milligan students. Music hath channs to still the savage breast, and Babe is an adept at the art. Her best-known selection is Listen to the Mocking-Bird. 16
