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

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

JESSIE JOYCE PERKINS, A. B. Clarksville, Tenii. Perk, Cotton and Jessie Doll. A baby vamp with eyes of blue. Golden curls, a pink cheek, too ; If you don ' t watch out. What you are about, She will sure get you! Graduate of Clarksville High School, ' 19. Southwestern University, ' 19- ' 21. Although Jessie has been with us only two years it is hard to find a more popular girl in school. She is a happy little girl who has made her way straight into our hearts. She has lots of pep and school spirit ; member of the Dramatic Club, Philomathean Literary So- ciety, D. G. S. Club, and the founder and chief promoter of the Ex-Courters Club. Not satisfied with her A. B., Miss Perkins is a candidate for the degree M. R. S. D. R. H. All evidence points toward her suc- cess. This little girl dotes on cakes, candy and Mrs. Poage ' s cookies, fun, frizzles and other frivols. Yet, she has proven to us more than once that brains lurk beneath a dainty Idonde e.xterior and that even frivol- ity and mischief may be conquered by pride and ambition. Precious things, I have heard them say, . Mways come in package small ; ' Tis not how much people weigh, ' Tis not that they ' re big and tall, But it ' s fineness and it ' s worth Give to them their selling price. Therefore, judging on this plan, Little Jessie ' s surely nice. Page Twenty-four
