PAULINE FERGUSON, A. B. Erwin, Tenn. Pauline Ferguson is a product of East Ten- nessee. She was born in the earliest part of her life and has been full of mischief ever since. She is a graduate of EHzabethton High School and is a candidate for the degree A. B. at Milligan College. Pauline is genial, cherry, sunshiny and warm-hearted, although she sometimes has an April disposition. She recently joined the Frizzle-tops but is rapidly out-growing that organization. She likes boys and biscuits, cakes, candies, and compositions (otherwise known as themes ). She hates shams and show, pharisees and poodle dogs. She was recently elected as a delegate to the Old Maid ' s Convention, but declined. She said, I ' ll be e ' Vaden ' that as long as I can. She is a home-loving, and home-making little soul and would no more fit among old maids than she would in the halls of Congress. Witty, gentle, tender-hearted, she will inake a cozy nook for some good man and help him to help the world. She will be remembered at her Alma Mater and will long remember her classmates and teachers. HERE ' S TO PEARLY BARNES. Page Twenty-five , n

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

BUFFALO I I RUTH E. NOWLIN, A. B. Profit, Ky. Member Student Volunteer Band, ' 21- ' 22 ' ' 22- ' 23. President Christian Endeavor, ' 22- ' 23. Member OssoHan Literary Society, ' 22- ' 23. Member Philomathean Society, ' 21- ' 22. Member of Carson-Newman and Milligan Debating Team, ' 23. Basketball, ' 22- ' 23. Member Dramatic Club. Miss Ruth Nowlin is proud to claim Ken- tucky as her native state and who would not? The blue-grass region still has for her a charm from which, perhaps, she will never be released. She is a lover of nature. God ' s out of doors, has been her playground from earliest childhood ; and we can easily imagine her far from the restriction of college rules and returning to the farm, exclaiming in the language of William Tell, Ye rocks and crags, Pm with you once again. Miss Ruth completed her preparatory course, together with the first two college years, in her own state, before coming to Milligan; thus leaving only the Junior and Senior years to be completed here. During this brief time she has greatly endeared her- self to all her teachers and class-mates as a lady of rare talent and accomplishment. She is a member of the Ossolian Literary oo- ciety, on the Editorial Staff of the Peri- scope, a member of the Student Volunteer Band and for two semesters a member of the Student Council. Her life work, according to her present plan, is to be a missionary in the foreign field. In answer to a query from her biographer, What is your greatest joy? she promptly replied, To win the confidence of a child. In this we think she will be successful, as she has already won the confidence of a grown-up child. QJ Page Twenty-six 1923 L£] 5 ==1
