SWU: TAZVVELL WALLER NEWMAN DIRECTOR OF MUSIC Mr. Newman studied music with S. F. Werren, Basle, Switzerland; with N, J. Elsem- heimer, Cincinnati, Ohio; with Wm. Mason, New York City. Mr. Newman was born in Tennessee ; after his years of travel, experience and study he comes back to Tennessee. Such a musician needs no recommendation — only a hearing, and his ability and talent are readily seen. The orchestra under his direction has given several concerts in chapel and surrounding towns, all the pieces rendered being the Direc- tor ' s own composition. MRS. W. B. BOYD LIBRARIAN Mrs. Boyd is loved by all the girls and has a warm place in the heart of every bo} ' . During the absence of the Dean of Women, she kindly and most efficiently served as advisor. She is a woman of attractive personality, modest, pleasant and cheerful ; a woman of few words, and she usually means what she says. She is the Boss of the library and of the Dean of the College. JAMES CALDWELL WICKER, A. B. Richmond University COACH AND PHYSICAL DIRECTOR OF ALL ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES Coach Wicker rendered signal and exceptional service overseas following his gradua- tion. Mr. Wicker has a keen sense of what constitutes good sportsmanship and is an adept in directing and training the youth of the College. As a student of, and an assistant to, Frank Dodson, Coach Wicker has had the best type of background in Athletic train- ing and ideals.

» w i!ALO MISS ERNESTINE RICHARDSON Woman ' s College, Scranton, Penna. DEPARTMENT OF DOMESTIC ART Miss Richardson plays an important part in the Milligan drama. Knowing the fatality of Milligan environment to the girlish heart, Miss Richardson comes to do her bit in helping the young lady prepare for that which so often follows Milligan graduation — and sometimes before. Miss Richardson is an artist with a needle and is rapidly developing others along her footsteps. With such a lovable disposition, an eagerness to serve and help in every difficulty, she has won a place in the hearts of the girls that no one else could usurp. MISS KATHLEEN ADAMS Johnson City Business College TUTOR OF COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Miss Adams is the efficient tutor of the department that makes you think with your fingers and write English in such an abbreviated form that no one outside the secret can fathom its depths. The Commercial Department increases each year, and with added equipment will soon become one of the important phases of college life. MRS. ASA FRAZIER COCHRANE MATRON OF BOYS ' HOME When the boys needed a new mother for their home, they chose one whom every boy loved, and who loved everybody with an unselfish, unfailing devotion. Mrs. Cochrane, with her sweet, gentle disposition, has won a firm place in the hearts of the students. We remember the wonderful Hallowe ' en party she helped the boys to give. In every way she has proven that A friend in need, is a friend indeed. Page Seventeen. J
