© 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

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

' MMX MM: ERNEST FRY, B. S. Chilhowie, Virginia. The time I ' ve lost in wooing, In watcliing and pursuing, Tlie light that lies In woman ' s eyes Has been my heart ' s undoing. Though wisdom oft has sought me, I scorned the lore she brought me, My only books Were woman ' s looks And folly ' s all they ' ve taught me. Member and President of American Lit- erary Society; Varsity Basketball; Varsity Baseball; Member Dramatic Club; member Courting Club; (holds record for taking conference); Varsity Football Team; Ath- letic Editor Periscope Staff; President of Talkers Club; Athletic Editor Buffalo Staff. Ernest is never noisy; never contrary; never yields a point; there are strong sus- picions that he studies; very much liked by the fellows; a hale good fellow. To the casual observer Mr. Fry might seem a bit modest and reticent, but those who really know him best testify that this son of the Old Dominion possesses very positive and aggressive qualities. They predict that some way or other just be- fore any one suspects it he will slip into a place of distinction and honor in the world of affairs. 29
