Thesis—Power Development of the French Broad River at Paint Rock, Tennessee. “Kitty” A nickname of prep school days. Waller has devoted most of his time to the military department, where he has risen to the highest rank—that of major. Outside of this work Waller has been a hard student, and in his Junior year studied in the school of Love, but he must have failed, for we notice that he did not continue his course. Has participated in track work for the last two years and has “made good” in it. Mary White Cox . . . Knoxville, Tenn, Bachelor of Science Who mixed reason with pleasure and wisdom with content. Zeta Tau Alpha. Round by round, Mary has climbed the ladder of knowledge to a conspicuous place in her Senior year. She stands forth prominently as the Vice-President of her Class, and reaches out for her degree and liberty. But Mary’s departure will be bemoaned, especially by some of the Juniors—of the other sex. 25

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

She has made a specialty of two subjects while here. Of these she has acquired the utmost knowledge, and they are—psychology and men. Well versed she is in both. The former assists her in the study of the latter, but the latter by no means assists her in studying the former. Palmyra, Tenn.

With his handsome features and winning ways R. A. is absolutely irresistible to the ladies. However, the little incident by which he got his name of “Brewster” must be related. This was before he became a past-master in the heart- smashing line. He took his love to the theater for the first time, and the play chanced to be “ Brewster’s Millions.” Between the acts the ushers passed around the book for sale, as they always do. R. A., not wanting to appear a T. W., bought one of the books. Since then “Brewster” has stuck, and we only wish that he could stick at the Hill longer, for he has been a valuable addition. 26
