Hi ItJf JF 51= IL, [nj ARTHUR M. DEPEW, A. B. Chauncey Preacher. Jonesboro, Tennessee. Never King by right divine Ruled a richer realm than mine Everywhere that I can fly There I ov n the earth and sky. President American Literary Society; Member and Manager 1917 Basketball Squad; member and Manager 1918 Football Team; Manager 1918 Baseball Team; Fac- ulty Politician; Member Di amatic Club; Inter-Collegiate Debating Team; Curricu- lum Expert; President Bachelors Club; Business Manager Buffalo; Teacher; Editor; Pastor; Soldier; Y. M. C. A. Secretary in the Balkans. Chauncey never flinches; never com- plains; never flirts; never surrenders; never studies; fond of French; ardent lover; three whole days at once if the weather be fair; an adept in getting credits; a wizard at argumentation, his most brilliant forensic attempts being upon subjects he knows least abo ut. Force, perseverance, aggressiveness, are manifestly his strong characteristics, but not the whole of his make-up. In moments of reflection, he often says, Let me live beside the road and be a friend to man. There is a gentleness in his strength; a pathos in his austerity; a grace in his awk- wardness. These paradoxes constitute a unique and impressive personality v hich one can- not fail to recognize and respect. Even the faculty will admit with modest reservation that Mr. Depew is destined to make him- self felt in the world, and his class-mates predict for him, in most sanguine terms, a career of distinction and renown. 24

Avocation — Identifying birds and flowers; classifying personalities; canning green apples and men ( ? ) Myrtle, a daughter of Milligan and a child of Livingston, is a gijod all-round girl. Since she pitched her tent of intellectual welfare on the sunny banks of old Buffalo, she has been an inspiration of happiness and success to those possessing the great ad- vantage of being her friends. To know her a little serves as an impetus to know her better. She is a girl of keen intellectual and pure moral fiber. She holds the unique record of not having missed a class in the last four years. She is not only known for her oratorical ability, but for her skill in putting up argument, for she ranks among our best debaters. It has been said by her most intimate friends that her greatest desire in the field of medicine to which she aspires is to be a Hart specialist — but who knows — only time will tell. 26
