Iiiick and down at work. He has inadr i|uite an enviable record during his stay. I)0tli in the mining and military departments, until now he leads his elass in mining and is Major of the Battalion. Garland Peyton, alias Darling, entered college in the fall of 1908, so you see he has been on the job some himself. During the several years, of his stay he has experiencetl vai-ious escapades, and there are not many things a college man can pull off of which this rather at¥al)le Darling can ' t give a good description. Garland has a peculiar knack of winning friends; every one likes him, and especially the ladies. Ilis aspii ' ations have l)een largely along military Hues, and in, this he has achieved remarkable success, being captain of one of the companies. We believe that he is the one born leader of men in the c lass. Big Nick eau be classed as a man of extraordinary stability, for he. too, has been anchored in Dahlouega for more than several years. Nicholson entered first prep class, and during all these years has been a constant worker in the business department, until now he represents a veritable depository of knowl- edge. He hasn ' t been inactive in the military department, and is now our Bat- talion Adjutant. In football, Big Nick eclipsed all of us. He was captain of the 1913 team, and during a game his big voice could be heard saying: Shift line. Darn it, shift — ' Army ' s Ball! ' Jubal Anderson Early Cox, the largest nuin in the class, is one of tne most studious and exemplary men we have, though it took Jubal a long time to decide to remain with us, and, in fact, he made one or two attempts to drop out, but finally he became reconciled, after feeling the honorable call of his profession. Chamblee is the guy who hailed from Canton in 1910. and since his advent in Dahlongea. life has been dift ' erent. His happy expression always cheers those around him. Guy has carved his way upward with a firm hand, always looking on the bright side of life. His motto is: Never get discouraged, but to always be on the job, and things will finally come your way. It will be impossible to give a full history of Miles C. Wiley. It would re(|uire too much space, and besides, our associations haven ' t extended much farther than the class room. We presume you know why, although none of us have read the last few chapters of this romance, but we feel quite certain that it will end like all the others. Wiley has won the highest honors in the Academic Department, and stands high on the military roster. II. W. Keith hasn ' t been in college i|uite so long as the other members of the class, this being only his third year. He is a sincere and consistent worker, and is one of the strongest men we have. This completes the roll of the 1914 class: only slight mention has been made of each, but enough to give a general idea. The time has now arrived when we must part and bid farewell to friends grown dear to us. The associations we have formed here will always be remembered, and we will look back upon the days spent in Dahlonega as our happiest. 25

Senior Clagg i tovy Our class has arrived at the period which marks the eonsiimmation of hopes entertained through long years. We have at last reached the pinnacle, the attainment of which has required our steady and continuous efforts since the beginning of our course. Of course, it is natui-al for us to be happy to kno ' that we have come to the close of our labors. We have completed our preparation for life ' s work, yet, with that we have our joy tinctured with sad- nesss. The time is almost at hand when we must break up the pleasant asso- ciations that have been formed during our stay at Dahlongea ; we must say farewell to dear friends and familiar scenes; and we are made to feel sad at having to part with the peculiarly free and happy life which lias grown to be a part of us, and to enter into a new life, whose conditions are entirely unknown to us. In the future, when we step out into the broad highway of life, we will cast our thoughts back to the years spent in and aroiuid Dahlonega and con- sider them the happiest years of our lives. The members who compose our class have entered college at various times since the year 1908. In fact, we have a very uni que class ; one without parallel, because, no three members entered the same year. The ma.iority of us have seen Hiauy classes come in ; we have seen many go out of these halls, never to return. During past years there have been more of us than are here now; many have dropped out for different causes, until to-day we doubtless represent the survival of the most tenacious. It will })e impossible to arrange our history without an individual summing up of the mem])ei ' s. giving sueli things of each as suggest themselves most read- ily. We are unusually fortunate in having three young ladies in our class. Their presence has always been an inspiration to us. and we have gladly relied upon their judgnunit in matters of great moment. Our class president. Miss Mary Lou ( uillian. through extra efforts on her part, joined the class in September. She is the youngest member of the cla.ss. but her keen intellect and charming personality soon won first place in the hearts of all the members, and the class has enjoyed a successful year under her guidance. Next comes Miss Alice McGee, and we all attribute a great deal to Miss Alice, because we have such profound confidence in her. Her presence has ever been an incentive to higher things. Miss McGee was a nuMuber of the 1912 class. but she decided that the honor of one graduation wasn ' t sufficient for her. so she joined our class at the beginning of the year and has now captured another degree. Miss Flossie Jackson entered college in 1909, and has proven her nervy qualities liy showing herself willing to endure the trials of the business depart- ment. Perry King is the veteran of the class. He came to Dahlonega in the fall of 1908. l)ut had to drop out the next year. However, the fall of 1910 saw Perry 24
