KATHRYN SWE'l'M.XN. Biloxi, Mississippi. Yesterday-forget it: Tomorrow-think not ot' it: Today-laugh. Sometime later than 1699 Kathryn, too, discovered America and landed at Biloxi. She was delghted with the country and stayed there until she won her high school diploma. This achievement inspired her to win new laurels. Blue Mountain College and the Womans College added their share. Later she discovered the Normal College and here she laughed her way through worlds of educa- tion, methods, psychology, manual training, music. and Social Hour. She takes but little interest in athletics: does not join loudly in the class wranglesg but goes on her way smiling, serene, and at peace with all the world. Kathryn is a member of the Mississippi Literary Society, the Y. W. C. A., the Glee Club, and one of the Volley Ball Teams. RUBY WEST. Richton, Mississippi. Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low, An excellent thing in woman. Wisdom is more precious than a Ruby, but when we have the two combined, as we do in this member of our class, we have a treasure indeed. Although very quiet and reserved, she has the sterling qualities that win for her love and respect from her many friends. Ruby is uncertain whether to continue her work at Peabody or the University, but we feel sure she will make good wherever she goes. Besides doing excellent class work she was an active member of the Y. XX . C. A., Mississippi Literary Society, B. Y. P. U., and the Hiking Club.

Henry Winton Stevens was born in the dim past in the rural regions of his county half-way between Buck- snort and Alphaba. To his boyhood friends he was known as Wint g to his family, because he lays around the house so much, he was known as Hen g to his enemies he was known as Bald-head g to his college friends as H. W. He was chief gardener to Mr. Scott during the sum- mer of 1915, and unloaded sand and gravel between times. H. W., through his active work in the student organ- izations, won the high esteem of the student-body because of his never failing interest in the welfare and develop- ment of the Normal College. He was member of the Honor Council, 1917-19183 member of Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, 1917-l9'8g represented the College at Blue Ridge Conference, Summer of 19173 member of Quartette, 1917-19183 Laboratory Assistant in Science, 1917-1918. lt cannot be denied that he made a success in his campus course, since he married Miss jenny L. Robinson, Class of 1917-1918. H. W, did substitute teaching in the city schools of Hattiesburg while at the Normal. He has been principal of Derbv Consolidated High School for the past two years. He was a member of the Diploma Class of 1917- 1918, but dropped out till drawing nine was substituted for drawing three. He came to the college broke, stayed broke, and is still broke. l-.llil GEORGE WESLEY STRICKLIN, Iuka, Miss. Students may come and students may go, but I stay here forever. George blew in' from the piny woods of Tishomingo County sometime back in the dim ages. No one knows the exact date but George and Miss Brown, and they won't tell. We may suppose that his ambition was akin to that of Ponce de Leon, and the ideals of the Normal College served to reiuvenate the mind as well as the body. He has completed his course here and goes out to hll his place in the world. Whatever his vocation may be, we who know him suspect that he has chosen fancy work for his avocation. So long, George, we wish you the best of luck.

We attribute the unusualness of Bill's college life not to his early experience, but to his personality. He had the typical experience of the rural Mississippi lad, in that he received his early education in the public schools of his native county. But his perseverance has made his later experience more than ordinary. After finishing the freshman year at Mississippi College and teaching two ye-ars, he entered the Normal College, but early in 1917 enlisted in the navy. After the war, on being discharged, he re-entered college. Bill's college experience is one to be envied for he has been both a splendid literary student and a good athlete. He made Varsity Team in baseball and foot- ball. To sum up his character we might say: He thinks unusually well, says unusually little, makes friends unusu- ally fast, and enjoys unusual distinction in an unusually unassuming manner. The esteem of his fellow students is attested bv the fact that he was chosen to the following positions: Member of the Honor Council, 1919-205 Y. M. C. A. representative to Blue Ridge, l920g and President of the Student Body, 1920-21.
