rf, elif-C if X X fhbfiifsr. - 6722.2 MCMXXZ TXAOCCASIN - Ernest CBig Boyj Eldridge, A. B., B. U. Big Boy Eldridge is the first Bachelor of Ugliness to be elected from a U. C. Senior Class. The choice for the first recipient of this highly coveted honor has given universal satisfaction. There was not even any opposition to Big Boy's election at U. C., a compliment as high as it is rare. Big Boy Was born May 10, 1895, at Birchwood, Ten- nessee. He attended the Grammar School at Birchwood, the Grammar and High Schools at Soddy and in 1913 ma- triculated at U. C. He has been at U. C. ever since save the two years he was in the service. Ten months of these two years he spent in France with the Thirtieth Division. In the old days Big Boy was a loyal Jacksonian. For four years he was on the varsity football team. His Senior year he was captain of the team. All through his college career he has lent unfailing sup- port to the college and all of its activities. He has always enjoyed the esteem and admiration of everyone on the campus-from PreXy to Zuu Zuu. Vyyik G5 B Q QQ QQ f'7 -. .W ff?

r-7... Figs-iffiii 'x 'l ffkwfdf PX '!XL-A - 'M-Mcmxx Senior Class History Four years ago the present Senior Class-then numbering about fifty students-entered the University of Chattanooga. After the manner of 'Fish' we made a noisy entrance, and it did not take the upper classmen long to learn that we were here, and that if everything suited us We might stay awhile. Everything did suit, and we had all decided to add a little more dignity, take the management of the college into our own hands, and become sophomores-when a bugle sounded. When the war came a great majority of our young men entered the various branches of government service. Many of our girls also left their studies here, and went into whatever field of work called them. In this world struggle, as on the football field, in basketball games, debating and dramatics, we won, of course, but in the strife two of the best of the class of 1920 made the supreme sacrifice for country and for Alma Mater. In this happy commencement season, we do not forget our classmates, Parke Robb and Dean Farris, who in the fall of 1916 smilingly entered college with us-and later smilingly and bravely left us, never to return. Of our present number we have four returned soldiers of whom we're justly proud, several athletic stars, an orator, actors and actresses-and everything. And as to scholarship, even the faculty has to wonder and exclaim, Remarka.ble! Yes, indeed, there is one of our number who makes 99 in all quizzes even though she does have outside interests. In work and play we have followed and ever been guided by that old motto- Tout bien ou rien. During our four college years-four of the most progressive years in the history of the college-we have been helped to take progressive steps, too, and we hope that in some small degree we may have helped in U. of C.'s upward march. To her we have given all our strength and efforts in the past-in the future she will iind us ever ready for whatever duty she calls us. Class Prophecy The room was dark, totally dark, except for one small faint patch of light. There was no sound but an odd, creaky sound that came from within the splotch of light. Several persons in a tensely expectant at- titude were huddled together in one corner of the room, straining their eyes toward the light. In the center of the illumined space a woman was hunched over something which she had before her. The scene was noth- as ea Q Sea Q gf N, im fa ff?
