% AUXFORD SARTAIN Ox OAKMAN, ALA. An harmless flaming meteor shown for hair, And fell adown his shoulders with loose care. Words fail. The fountain pen ceases its wanton flow! Friends gaze on this likeness, for this is Sartain, Sartain. the mathematician, the rhetorician, and known far and wide for brilliant remarks, which flow, we suppose, from a brilliant head. Only one of his kind now in captivity, so, my friend, gaze. DIALECTICAL ' Jay Bird ' 1 WILLIAM J. BAIRD ETHKLVILLK, ALA. ' A little engine of high power, A locomotive in trousers. Four years ago liaird decided to quit the railroad and cast lis fortunes with the S. N. C. The interests of the institution have always been first in his regards, and we are sure he will reach the goal for which he strives. Can be recognized any- where by the toothpick in bis mouth and pencil behind his ear. DIALECTICAL JOHN DARBY, JR. FLORENCE, ALA. The wish which ages have not yet subdued In man to have no master save ins mood. John was not in school last year, but taught, and went to the University during the summer. He is fond of society work, and is one of the declaimers for the Dialectical Society. His natural bent is toward mathematics, and future years may see him I ' rcfessor of Mathematics in some great university. DIALECTICAL MAMIE PULLEN SHEFFIELD, ALA. ' Mamie She speaks, behaves and acts just as she ought. Mamie is very quiet, and is always in a good humor. She is one of the best model school teachers, but it has been hinted that she has other views for life than that of teaching. She never grumbles nor gets fretted, except when drawing day comes, and then she and Mr. Nisbet have a comedy of their own. DIXIE

Julia JULIA AUSTIN FLORENCE, ALA. Her air, her smile, her motions tell Of womanly completeness; A music as of household songs Is in her voice of sweetness. This is a splendid student, especially in French and Chem- istry. She ranks as an all A pupil, hut we believe that some of that was gained through her smile and manner. BROWNING ' Mr. Hudson ROBERT HUDSON ROGERSVILLE, ALA. Who trusts to woman his peace of mind. Trusts a frail bark that may sink any time. This is one of our married members, although you would not suspect it by his jovial manner. Me lias taught several years, and we predict that he shall be heard from in after years, if his wife doesn ' t turn suffragette. DIALECTICAL ' Mary MARY LIPSCOMB FLORENCE, ALA. A modest maid is she. The class in choosing a historian could not have found a better one than this girl, who has watched the various members through the four years. She is hard of hearing when Mr. Wood calls on her in chemistry. Her German book is the reason. She is a quiet girl, and we expect to see her make a success- ful teacher. BROWNING GEORGE DUDLEY FLORENCE, ALA. George, Dud, Emo Thus in the faculty ' s sight, this boy grew up. This is a home product. George stands five feet fifteen inches in his stocking feet. It is hard to say whether he exists alone or is a lengthened shadow of Prof. Wood. If he escapes the side show as the tall man you may expect to see an account of him on the Who ' s Who and Why page of the Saturday Evening Pott, Varsity football, 1912. LAFAYETTE

Blanche BLANCHE EVANS FLORENCE, ALA. Of disposition gentle and fair. Blanche lets people find what she knows without talking much. She is good in English, and it is not possible to say whether she will write novels or make chemistry experiments. BROWNING ELIZABETH LOWMAN SHEFFIELD, ALA. Liz Who will remember the skies are gray If she carries a happy heart all day? Elizabeth comes from the Judson, and has all the qualities to become a great teacher. During the first term she learned to be an expert in dodging Miss Burt, but later became her very shadow. Has been greatly interested in chapel exercises, and held the position of conductor for the clas in clapping, under the direction of Prof. Wood ' s smile. Joe JOSIAH BETHEA GAME, JR. FLORENCE, ALA. I would not be king. Enough of woe it is to love. Joe has been to school in almost every village, town or city in the U. S., but it looks as though one of the Florence girls has stopped his roving. lie starred this year in football, but had the misfortune of getting injured. He has a talent for fooling with the janitor ' s call bell, and future time may see him an employee of a great electric company as fireman on a street car. DIALECTICAL MATTIE AVERY SHEFFIELO, ALA. Mattie Know smiles; When s laugh. smile and the world smiles with you. n all over College for her bright disposition and merry even when teased she takes it in the same old way. he leaves, the walls will miss the echo of her happy BROWNING
