BUFFALO AMELIA SUSSNER, A. B. Jamestown, Tenn., Little Girl President Student Council ' 21. Charter member Philomathean Literary So- ciety. Charter member Spoofology Club. Secretary and Treasurer Dramatic Cluli •22- ' 23. Member Orchestra — Pianist ' 22; Violinist ' 23. Member Periscope Staff ' 22- ' 23. Prosecuting Attorney for Men ' s Student Council. Member Buffalo staff ' 22- ' 23. The bird that soars on highest wing Builds on the ground her loyely nest; And she that doth most sweetly sing, Sings in the shade when all things rest. A wee bit of queenly majesty moves with velvet tread about campus and corridors ; slips like a fairy into everything worthwhile in college life ; with the skill of magic draws a long bow (beau) at conferences. Her favorite study is Astronomy; her favorite revolving observatory is the Triangle. Amelia is talented, versatile, modest ; in the realm of sweet music a prodigy; in the realm of logic and philosopher a master ; in the realm of religion and aesthetics, a minis- tering angel on a mission of love and sym- pathy dispatched. There is a feminine fine- ness and charm which seems to endow sim- plicity itself with a royal edict and turn the most reticent silence into golden eloquence. With such a personality so beautifully woven out of the threads of virtue and true worth, Amelia is destined to a real career.

BUrFALO CARL L. FIELDS, A. B. Johnson City, Tenn. Charter Member of Athenian Literary So- ciety. Member of Student Council Cabinet. Basketball, 1920- ' 21. Football, 1920- ' 21-22. Business Manager Periscope, ' 23. Business Manager Buffalo, ' 23. Debating Council. President of Senior Class. Carl L. Fields belongs to the Who ' s Who of Milligan. With a natural affability, which is a great asset in any life, he is one of the most popular young men in the college. The spirit of the true boy-scout lingers with him and is a part of him — the spirit of helpfulness and genuine chivalry. His biographer points with pride to his pure morals and habits of industry. After having completed the High School course in Johnson City, he entered Milligan in 1919, and is a member of the present Senior Class, with an honorable rec- ord to his credit. This brief history is also a prophecy of what he will be. Capable, patient, resolute, he will win his way to distinction in his chosen activity ; and in him the world will feel the impress of a forceful personality. With memories of happy associations, we must say good-bye. Forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit.

BUFFALO D. LESTER KELLER, A. B. Johnson City, Tenn. Vice-President of the Senior Class. Class Poet. Art Editor of Buffalo, ' 23. Periscope Staf f — l- Z ; •22- ' 23. Charter Member Athenian Literary Society. Charter Member Dramatic Club. Member of Orchestra, ' 21- ' 22; ' 22- ' 23. D. Lester Keller is one of Milligan ' s most promising young men. In early youth when the choice was presented to him of Oats or Wild Oats, he chose the former, and has ever since maintained an unsullied character. Truth, honor, integrity and lofty ideals ; these are priceless qualities too rarel} ' found in modern life, but they are his. Having graduated from the Johnson City High School, he entered Milligan College in 1919 as a freshman and is now completing his senior year. As a student he has made a record for thorough work. He has a mind well-poised but with a taste inclining toward foreign language, music and art. Of course, you would anticipate this after one look at his classic features and dreamy e3 ' es. What about your life career? his bio- grapher asked. For awhile, he replied, I expect to be a teacher, and then — !, and here we parted. Out into the world very soon you go, but a thousand happy memories will link you to this campus, and sometime you will return, crowned with honors, to make a chapel speech. 1923 = Page Twenty -two
