Curtis Lafayette Henderson . Knoxville, Tenn. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Courage, the mighty attributi' of powers above, By which those great in war are great in love. Engineering Society; Rifle Club; Athletic Associa- tion; Second Sergeant, Co. B, '07-'08; First Lieutenant, Co. B, ’o8-’o9; Captain, Co. A, ’09-’ 1 o; Captain of Company winning Competitive Drill, '09-’10. Thesis—Application of the Circle Diagram to the Three-Phase Induction Motor. The second or revised edition. It is said that second editions are always the best, but we won’t say that for fear of starring a family row. C. L. doesn’t feel natural unless he is marching up and down with a sword jang- ling at his side and bellowing forth commands. If he had only lived in the ages gone by he would certainly have been as great a general as Cajsar, Hannibal, or Alexander the Great. Nannie Lee Hicks . . . Knoxville, Tenn. Bachelor of Science Ever level and ever true To the toil and task she has to do. To Nannie Lee much praise is due—a maiden of steadfast purpose—demure but determined—quiet bur energetic. Of her Shakespeare might have been speak- ing when he said, “A maiden never bold; of spirit so still and quiet, that her motion blushed at herself.” Only in the Chemistry Lab has Nannie Lee ever been jarred out of her usual equanimity—and who would not be in Junior Chemistry? 3°

John Christopher Haskins . Newbern, Tenn. Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering His nature is one large expansive smile. Phi Kappa Phi; Athletic Association; Engineering Society; Scrub Baseball Team, ’ 7-’o8-’o9; Substitute on Varsity, ’09; Captain of Scrub Baseball Team, ’09; Class Football Team, ’10; Class Baseball Team, ’o7-’io. Thesis—Design of a Reinforced Concrete Arch. “Red” “Billiken” Whatever you may choose to call him he is still the same old smiling “Red.” He has been mixed up in everything in college, from being a member of P. K. P. to the little “pink-tea parties” on the side of the Hill. You can generally find him uptown, for he is a great patron of the cue and moving spheres game. It isn’t hard to explain how he got the name of “Billiken,” for he will smile if you only tarry about two seconds in his presence, and show you without your tickling his feet. Knoxville, Tenn. Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering He is a soldier ft to stand by Cccsar and give directions. Battalion Sergeant-Major, ’o8-’o9; First Lieutenant and Battalion Adjutant, ’o9-'io; Member Y. M. C. A., ’05-’°7; Engineering Society; Rifle Club. Thesis—The Storage Battery. “C. C.” The first of the two specimens—the second to follow on the next page. “C. C.” has done nothing to set the Hill afire during his four years, but has gone along in his own way, absorbing a bit of engineering lore into his “noodle,” and imparting quite a lot of military science. We believe that the beat of the drum and the footsteps of the soldiers will always have an attraction for him, and it will fall to his lot after death to command a com- pany of angels, or, who knows—be Satan’s first captain. 29

Summers Hinshaw . Knoxville, Tenn. Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Those curious hairs, so aptly twined, Whose every curl a soul doth bind. Philo; Glee Club; Engineering Society; Y. M. C. A.; Athletic Association. Thesis—Power Development of the French Broad River at Paint Rock. “Cupid” Reader, gaze upon this monstrosity. This is the only and original Cupid the II in captivity. It is claimed that when he tries he can break more hearts than any other man. But, sad to relate, during his last two years in college Cupid has been so cruel as to deprive the ladies of his company and turned his mind to other activities. For about one week last spring he could he seen daily furthering the interests of the track team, but he decided that he didn’t want to deprive anyone of a place on the team, and therefore nobly gave up his aspirations. John Jackson, Jr. . . . . Dyer, Tenn. Bachelor of Arts Give thy thoughts no tongue. Kappa Sigma; Phi Kappa Phi; Philomathesian Lit- erary Society; Y. M. C. A.; Athletic Association; Editor on Orange and White for Senior Class, ’09-’ 10. “Toad” John can never be accused of making a noise. The mouse is not more still than he, nor can the turnip seed germinate and spring from the soil with greater silence than he goes about his daily work. 3»
