Junior Clasi ! ?|igtorp No two inembers of ovir class entered college the same- yeai hut wliile the first ones were here the others were flirting with Minerva at various institutions of learning. While we were Freshmen the sopliistieated Sophs thought there was no hope for us Freshies. l ut now since we have won our spurs during these consecutive years and the silly Sophs have become wise and understanding Sen- iors, they have willingly consented to shift the glohe-like sphere of Senior study and consecpient knowledge to our young Herculean shoulders, while they hurry off on the span of life for the Golden Apple of rich experiences. Though our number is small, all the various (|ualities tliat are found in a large class are found in ours. Of our scholarly attainments, 1 daresay that we hold our own with the best, still realizing that our life-woi-k has just begun. In military honors we hold the highest ranks of the non-couunissioned force, with the exception of second place. We have all advanced very rapidly on account of our zeal, which will be our mainstay in the battle of life. In athletics we have done something of which we are justly proud. Our class has been represented in the hai ' d-fought football games, and we have ably conducted ourselves in all the class games of baseball. In all these departments one more year will see us greatly developed, for we realize tiie truth of Emerson ' s statement wh ' n he said, ' ' The one great prudence of life is concentration, ' ' Our intention is to continue the pursuit of knowledge, even after our dear old Alma ilatcr has wished us a farewell and sent us forth in the cause of humanity, and still rememliering that we must get wisdom, and with all getting get understanding. 29

K. K. McMillan, Mac. E. M., Decora, 5 N Acworth, Ga. He n-ho taUs mudi — thinls little. Corporal Band, ' 11- ' 12; Principal Musician, ' 12- ' 13; Chief Musician, ' 13- ' 14; Sub Rifle Team, ' 10- ' 11; Eifle Team, ' 11- ' 12. ' ' Mac ' ' is the veteran of his class and the Band, having been in college since September, 1910. He has seen many come and go for natural causes and otherwise, and from all in- dications he is likely to see several more silent- ly fold their tents and pa,ss out of our midst. His first cadet life was spent in one of the companies. The physical exertion not being to his liking, he .ioined the Band, and may Ije seen behind a baritone now. He thinks the college ought to turn the Band loose with plenty of money as an advertisement for the college. He has tried nearly every course in college. An auto fanatic — ' ' Ford. Mac ' ' has never been in love, though no fault of his own. May he have the success we all predict for him. Ulysses A. Lawson, A. B., B. Ph., ' ' Ulus, ' ' Decora. Gainesville, Ga. Nothing is denied to well-directed labor. Private Co. - A, ' 12- ' 13; Quartermaster Sergeant, ' 13- ' 14; President Class ' 14. Ulus is the youngest member of the class in ]ioint of service, but oldest in years of ex- perience. He entered in 1912, advanced in studies, mixed with much experience of life. He enjoys being close to nature when the mind is brought to the deejiest meditations, and oc- ca.sionally walks over to Tallulah Falls to view the scenery. Archimeiles never showed greater talent for mathematics than he. Tliough trou- bled with weak eyes, lie can easily see where the Asymptotes meet in infinity. May he be stic- cessful in the use of this keen insight to solve the mysterious problems of life. 30
