We shall long remember Mr. Arrants with affection and re- spect, and we wish him continued success.

We Mr. T. W. Preston, President of King Printing Company, Bristol, Tennessee. Mr. Preston, affectionately known to his employees and business associates as “Mr. T. W.”, typifies a Southern gentleman and establishes a tradition and ideal for the youth of Bristol. Distinguished by his charming personality and his unfailing courtesy to rich and poor, young and old, he is a scholar, a churchman, a philanthropist, an enthu- siastic sportsman, a collector, and a writer. His “Historic Sketches of Holston Valley” is a valuable and authentic source of the history of Southwest Virginia and East Tennessee. As the best of friends, as a gentleman and a scholar, and as a counselor of young yearbook staff members he has honored his community. To Mr. T. W. Preston, whose patience, understanding, wisdom, co-opera- tion, and friendly advice have made it possible for us to have superior annuals for many years, we the Cadmus Club lovingly dedicate this, the CapMea for the year nineteen hundred and forty-six.
