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.

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.

Bipluma Gllaaa liiatnrg The historian's lot is a hard one. A short story writer may make his characters act as they should act. A prophet may carry us to the skies in his imagination of future bliss. But the historian must bc the truth conveyor and deal with cold. hard facts. l sometimes think that if we fully realized we were making history, that history would be different from what it some- times is. Anyway, classmates of twenty-one, we have made the history. and. as we look back over it and contrast it with what our blissful dreams were at the beginning. we can readily see the great difference between anticipation and realization. No doubt, however, that as time softens the outlines of what has been, we shall see the meaning of it all. Even now the growing pains we experienced while delving in psychology. the crushed humility of not being able to write perfect themes. the despair of learning to draw properly, the hard labor required to master mathematics. and many other such disagreeable things of the past are scarcely remem- bered, or, if remembered at all. regarded as dragons. slain with the skill and power of a knight of old. The thrill of accomplishment. the satisfaction of having reached a goal is now ours. and the trials of the way are forgotten and only the joys remembered. Class histories are not unlike the history of a republic. They have their beginnings. form of government. revolutions. presidential elections. panics. strikes, debates. wars. and everything that goes to make history interesting. Ours has been no exception to the rule. .After all. however. the most intcr- esting history is that which is never written. The unwritten history of our class has entered into our lives and become a part of us. lt is the tie that shall ever bind the loyal members of dear old '2l.
