Theses—Complete Test of Motor-Generator Set. Complete Economy and Power Distribution Test of Brookside Mills. “ Brownie” He's a collcgier all right, for he’s got a little college cap. “Brownie” early won fame as a declaimer, and carried off all the honors in his first year. After that the society bee stung him, and since then it has been “the ladies for mine” with him. William Earl Bryan Munford, Tenn. Bachelor of Arts He was a scholar and a ripe and good one.

He bears the reputation of having left forlorn and desolate more than one gentle heart of Knoxville. But he does not believe in neglecting one’s books, and through diligence and ability he has forced his way to the front. During the past year he has taught in the High School, and had every girl there in love with him and his genrle ways. “Shark” at one time had athletic aspirations, but blos- somed on the diamond for one short week only. He is sure to marry, and will some day be City Recorder of Covington. 24

W. C. A., ’o8-’o9; President Y. W. C. A., ’o9-’io. Marcia the jolly, Marcia the good-natured, Marcia the comforter, with a heart exactly in proportion to her avoirdupois! first distinguished herself four years ago in the realm of athletics, but after spraining her ankle from Standing on one foot in the gym and performing the unparalleled stunt of rolling down the brick walk to the Blount, she decided to give up the task of cultivating her body for that of cultivating her soul. In this work she has gloriously succeeded, and has done everything from being the maid in plays, a crying infant in baby shows, a spider in circuses, to visiting the poor, leading in prayers, buying Thanksgiving dinners for the poor, and being President of the Y. W. C. A. Walter Scott Adkins . . Coal Creek, Tenn. Bachelor of Science What makes the vouth sae bashful and sae grave? “Socrates” “General” Feign would we speak of this youth for fear we would discover some unknown fact that might lower him to the ranks of common men. “Socrates,” as his name implies, is a typical philosopher. Our prediction for him is that he will either lead a hermit’s life, or will become famous by his discourses on metaphysical and psychological subjects in German. As the former is im- possible in this busy life of today, hail, ye Seniors to the foremost thinker of the 20th century, your former classmate. 3
