ww wwm m RALPH STEWART DEPEW, A. B. Jonesboro, Tennessee. His fashion is passion, sincere and intense, His impulses, simple and true. Yet tempered by judgment, and taught by good sense. And cordial with me and with you; For the finest in manners, as highest in rank. It is you, man, yes you, man, who stand Nature ' s own Nobleman, friendly and frank, A man with his heart in his hand! President Athenian Literai ' y Society; President and a Chief Promoter of Dramatic Club; Editor-in-Chief Periscope; Art Editor 1921 and 1922 Buffalos; Member Ministerial Association. Inter-Collegiate Orator, 1921. Ralph Stewart DePew, a cosmopolite, conquered his wander-lust long enough to endure the whips and scorns of outrageous fortune connected with student-life and so became a Senior at Milligan College. Brilliant, eccentric, self-reliant, persuasive and unique, he will be found, in the future, in the pulpit, or the penitentiary, on the platform, or the police docket. Here ' s hoping! 27

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

© P If IF ZS ' S (D) CURTIS HOLT, A. B. Milligan College, Tenn. Yes! all the elements are mine, To crush, create, dissolve, combine; All mine — the confidence is just. On God I ground my high-born trust. President of the Athenian Literary So- ciety; Secretary and Treasurer of the 1922 Buffalo; Member of the Ministeral Asso- ciation; Inter-Collegiate Debater; Benedict; Pastor, Preacher, Evangelist; Teacher, County Superintendent, Educator. Curtis Holt, the Shepherd lad from Pick- ett, has hurled many a pebble at the Giant of Ignorance. May he bring him down with a well-directed blow, and v ith the sword of perseverance finally remove his head. He is now equipped, not only with the sling and pebbles of native intellect, but with the Damascene blade of trained reasoning. His shield is brightly polished and his spear-points are keen. Here ' s to the David of our Israel! He is the family man of our class, and without doubt a model one, for we find in him the qualities of understanding, pa- tience, friendliness and helpfulness in all associations. 28
