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

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.

BUFFALO II ; ;i MARTHA JEANETTE GOOLSBY, Ph. B. Livington, Tenn. Charter Member Philomathean Literary So- ciet3 ' . President Student Council, ' li. Girls ' Circle, President, ' 21. Treasurer of Senior Class. Editor-in-chief of Periscope, ' 22-23. Student Volunteer Band, ' 22- ' 23. She doeth little kindnesses which most leave undone and despise, For naught which sets one ' s heart at ease and giveth peace and happiness, Is low esteemed in her eyes. From the Cumberland Mountains, rich not only in forests of hemlock and oak, maple and birch, but richer in the purest American blood — the Anglo-Saxon; prodvicing not only iron, coal and oil but producing the most illustrious men of the nation, comes Martha, the maiden of service, gentle, modest, un- assuming. She entered Milligan College in the fall of 1919; bringing with her high ambi- tions and lofty purposes; never faltering; never failing. She has pursued her college course loved and honored by all, but most loved and most highly honored by those who know her best ; firm in what she believes, but open to conviction ; unfailing in her de- votion to principle and an untiring worker ; never in the four years of her college life having been summoned upon the velvet car- pet of discipline, she was chosen president of the Student Council, which responsibility she has carried with dignity and distinction. True to her purpose to serve, she has refused to embark upon the temptestuous seas of matrimony, but has remained steadfast vi ' ith a brighter world. And so to you, Martha, descendant of an honored race, beloved daughter of Milligan, it is with especial pride and affection we send you forth to carve out for j ' ourself a destiny of glorious achievement. The heights bj ' great men won and kept. Were not attained by sudden flight. But SHE while her companions slept Was toiling upward in the night. Page Twenty-three
