Chivalrous, sportsmanlike, affable, modest, and resolute, this scion from tlie city of Soddv is at once a favorite with faculty ' and student body. Honesty and punctuality are his prime virtues accordingly when Knighthood was in flower this young Chesterfield never failed to don a new necktie and lead the procession to conference. A born mathematician, a de- votee of philosophy, an unconquerable debater, a prince among athletes, and a Christian gen- tleman, no nobler characterization could be de- sired, and no truer personification of the above could be found than the subject of this sketch. This short biography is but a lirief prophesy of what shall come to pass, and in terms no less noble than the above, we commend our comrade to the big world and bis future achievements. = Page Twenty-one 1925

It was in tlie memorable year, 1922, from the lovely Sequatchie A ' alley, rich in historic lore, named by the Indians Beautiful Waters, came our ' beautiful maiden (claimed by Phil, the mighty warrior), Clara of the House of Chisani ' . ' Queenly of bearing, clear of tirain, tender of heart, of royal independence and daring. She seemed for dignity composed And liigh exploit. The first year. College life was not for her a placid stream, rather her world was a play- ground, a moving picture with constant, varied, and unending tlirills thrown upon the screen. But sustained by literary heritage, and lighted by Ambition ' s ifires, she soon came into her own. Then to her, life was real life was earnest. Her world a workshop in which she molded and welded the finer qualities into tempered steel. However difficult the task however long the day, unceasingly incessantly, Clara fought her way through, ever upward, until she nuide her place am ong the high point students, in the galaxy of the stars. Long, long he our hearts with your mem- ories filled. Like the vase in whicli the roses have once been distilled. You may leave, you may yo as far as you will.

nfialti GRACE CLIO HART, A. B. Pikeville, Tennessee Philomathean Literary Society, President, ' 25. Social Editor of Buffalo, -2.5. Associate Editor of Trident, 2.5. Latin Club. Student Senate, ' 25. When God nuide Eve and placed her in tlie Garden of Eden, she was a perfect creature; and it is a Icnown fact that Grace Hart is one of Eve ' s direct descendants. When we speak of the Beauty and the Chivalry of the South, Grace may well be thought of as the personification of the former term; liut we hesitate to discuss here the latter term. Grace is a student and a scholar. Her lit- er; ry work at Milligan has been of the very l est type. And besides her literary work, she has been interested in almost everything at Milligan. She has done especially good work in domestic art, and whenever she designs a pattern or makes a dress, we know tliat it will he beautiful. But when she passes by in a dress that she has made, it seems like the ceasing of exquisite music. The three words that best express Grace ' s character and worth are Christian Southern Lady.
