But my soul is getting restless For the mountains once again; So my steps are turning westward, Where the mountains pile up high. Toward the broken lines of heaven, Where they stretch across the sky. My thoughts are of a cabin Just above a gurgling spring. If here the laurels grow together And the speckled thrushes sing; Here the smoke climbs in the evening. Through the age-old forest trees; Here my so ul will find its haven And my body find its ease. So when shad oil ' s draiv about me, And the day is nearly done, I am back among the mountains In the glory of the sun; Close the blue sky hangs above me, Just above a towering pine; Here I ' ll spend my days near heaven In a kingdom that is mine.

And those that ivould not heed the call Here bound and left within the cold! Night came quick with black and seap; The eagle slept a-top a crag; The moon lay dead in ebon deep. With corner up and lip a-sng. The clouds rolled back: the heavens split: The muses came from out the pit! On one side stood Calliope And writ a poem with epic fire. Deep of thought and sound and free, And played her song upon the lyre. Then Clio took her turn, us came, And gave the history of the gods: She told of freaks of nature here, And spoke of heavenly ends and odds. With rosy cheeks and eyes so bland. Euterpe came and made her bow, And with a flute loaned her by Pan, She played a song before the frau. The wind began to blow and moan As Melpomene came to the front: The lilies died, the cypress wept. Her speech was gruff and short and blunt. A light! A light! within the dark: A song, a dance, a sweep of feet: Terpsichore graceful as Diane, A look of light so calm, so sweet; She danced and laughed before the crowd, And sung the songs of paradise: She clapped her hands with ecstasy. And every act was most concise. Erato with a Cupid bow Read love as reapers often sow! A solemn hush and Pouhynnei read The sacred poems of the dead. Urania taught of stars and moons. While Thalia played the silly clown; And that was all the players there: The sillies play: the iviser frown! Let muses come within your soul each day, And let them teach to you their magic arts: Tor when the Fates have deemed you finished here, You that have dreamed will have the finer hearts! RALPH A. KENNEDY, Class Poet Page 22 HALSEY B. LEAVITT, JR. ASHEVILLE, N. C. Time only will tell, and we ' re no doubt that it will tell well. Delphian Literary Society, Chaplain; Buncombe County Club; Mountaineer Editor-in-Chief; Tennis Club; Honorary Member of U. S. A. Club; Dramatic Club; Inter-collegiate Debating Team ' 28; Pep Staff, Contributing Editor; Busi- ness Manager of Delphian-Mnemosynean Play The Patsy ; Elected Most Likely to Succeed and Most Popular Boy; Cor- respondent for The Asheville Citizen. There is much to be admired about Halsey. His untiring zeal for anything that pertains to the good of the college, his sincerity, and his friendliness all go to make him just about the most popular boy in our class. He has made a success of everything that he has started at Weaver, and that is saying quite a good bit, for we call on Leavitt for everything with work attached to it. BERN1CE AVETT Norwood, N. C. Angels are painted fair to look like women. President of Epworth League ' 28; Mem- ber First Department; Mnemosynean Lit- erary Society, Play ' 29; Pep Reporter ' 28; U. S. A. Club, President; President of Junior Class ' 28; Sponsor ' 28; College Choir; Inter-collegiate Debating Team ' 28; Life Service Band; Dramatic Club; Mountaineer Staff, Literary Editor; Ro- mance Language Club, President ' 29. No higher compliment could be paid any girl than to say, She is a true woman ! Bernice, with your attractive person- ality, your ready wit, and your easily won popularity — success awaits you. Treasure the hearts you win — don ' t break them; and when the man comes who is worthy of you, happiness will be yours. Pace 24 RALPH A. KENNEDY Weaverville, N. C. All great men are dead — and, come to think of it, I ' m not feeling ivell myself.

A good many of the honors of our class have gone to Ralph, but he de- serves them. He never does anything ac- cording to a set rule but has a distinct way of his own for doing everything. His persistence and ability are sure to bring him success whatever he under- takes — be it running for President or what-not. RUTH HANSEN Asheville, N. C. Take it, easy have your fun; let the old world flirker on.

Club; Dramatic Cluh; Me Tiber of Ath- letic Council; Delphian-Mnemosynean Play; Woodfin High School. Ruth is a very, very valuable member of our class. Her wit and originality have helped us through many an other- wise dull recitation. Although usually full of fun, Ruth can be serious when the occasion demands it. We wish her all kinds of success, and are sure that she will make good. Page 25 MARK PRIDGEN Elm City, N. C. In the football field he sets a wicked paee ; But, believe me, he ' s faster yet in Cupid ' s race.

Monk is a man with the true Weaver spirit. Be it on the football field, in the classroom or at the girls ' dormitory we are always proud of Monk. He ' s a fa- vorite both on the campus and around town. OLIVE JONES Greeneville, S. C. I have lived and loved. Mnemosynean Literary Society; Dra- matic Club; Georgia-Tennessee-South Carolina Club; Brevard Institute Club; Mountaineer Staff, Snap Shot Editor; Cheer Leader; Tennis Club; Vice-Presi- dent; Delphian-Mnemosynean Play. A good sport, a lovable girl, and a good student — combine them and you have Olive. To let you know that she is liked, we just remind you that she was voted the most popular girl in our class. Can she act? If you saw The Patsy , we need not answer. In case you did not, take our word for it — she can. Pace 26 HITE HELMS Mineral Springs, N. C. Faithful and earnest Kindhearted and true Ready to do his best In all there is to do. Delphian Literary Society, Chaplain; Chairman of First Department of Ep- worth League; Piedmont Eastern Caro- lina Club; U. S. A. Club; Ministerial Band; Sunday School Superintendent. Hite came to us from Wingate. Al- though we have known him only a year, we hardly see how we did without him last year. He is always cheerful; in fact, we have never yet seen him looking blue. We are quite sure that he will make a success in his chosen work, the ministry. GLENNIE COMAN Lake Junaluska, N. C. One of those whose fate it is to be liked. Mnemosynean Literary Society; Vice- President of Senior Class; Secretary and Treasurer of Junior Class ' 27; Football Sponsor ' 27; Haywood County Club; Weaver Derby Club; Sponsor of Senior Class; College Council. Glennie is our class beauty, everyone admits that. She was unanimously elected Class Sponsor. We have heard the saying, Pretty is as pretty does , and that is just another reason why we all like her. She is a friend to every one, dees not know the meaning of the word conceit, and is an all-round good student. Pace 27 HERALD BALLARD Weaverville, N. C. ' Til a friendly heart that has many friends. Cliosophic Literary Society, Secretary ' 27, Treasurer ' 28, Program Committee ' 26, Censor ' 26, Critic ' 26; Buncombe County Club ' 25- ' 29; Football ' 26- ' 27; Var- sity Football ' 28; Tennis Club ' 28; De- claimer ' 25- ' 26; Triangle Debate ' 27; Weaver College High School. Who ever heard of a fat boy who was not jolly? Well Herald is no exception. His witty remarks have helped us through many an English class. He is always ready with a good word and cheery grin for everyone. INEZ FINCHER Mineral Springs, N. C. Beauties in vain their pretty Eyes may roll; Charm strikes sight hut merit Wins the soul. Euterpean Literary Society, Secretary ' 27, Treasurer ' 28, Chaplain ' 28; U. S. A. Club; Haywood County Club; Piedmont Eastern Carolina Club; Tennis Club; Dramatic Club; Life Service Band, Presi- dent ' 28; College Choir; Junior Mar- shall; President of Sunday School Class; Clio-Euterpean Play. If this be so, Inez has won our souls both by her merit and by her charm. The gods were good to her, for she has charm, wisdom, and beauty. We all love Inez because she is Inez. Pace 28 BURTON TEAGUE Weaverville, N. C. That he ' s a lolly good fellow, no one can deny. Delphian Literary Society; Treasurer of Senior Class; President of Buncombe County Club; Tennis Club; Monogram Club; Varsity football ' 27- ' 28; Varsity Baseball ; Vice-President of College Council; 1st. Assistant Librarian. Burton is a favorite among both girls and boys; he makes friends everywhere. He is a good student, a true sport, and a star football player. What else need he be ? DORA E. BLANTON Gaffney, S. C. worry were the cause of death, she would live forever. Mnemosynean Literary Society, Sec- retary and Treasurer ' 27, Vice-President ' 28, Censor ' 28; Georgia-Tennessee- South Carolina Club; Rutherford-Polk- Henderson and Brevard Institute Club; Tennis Club. Dora has made lots of friends with her jolly disposition; her future should be Sunshine and roses. Sometimes she can be quiet, and then on other occasions, when least expected, she will be very noisy. It is a pleasure to be with her. She thinks, Love is a sweet sensation when taken in small doses. Though far, far awav, she will always be one of us. Page 29 CHARLES J. TILLEY Durham, N. C. Honor lies in honest toil. Cliosophic Literary Society, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee; Piedmont Eastern Carolina Club; Minis- terial Band; Football Squad ' 28- ' 29 ; President of Sunday School Class. We have in Charles a hard working student. He has been a faithful member of our class and is always ready to do his part. His ideals and ambitions are of the highest and will, we are sure, lead him to fame and fortune. We have found him to he sincere and reliable. What an admirable combination!

Learning makes a woman jit company for herself Euterpean Literary Society, Chaplain ' 28- ' 29; Clio-Euterpean Play ' 28- ' 29 ; Bun- combe County Club; Life Service Band; Assistant Dietitian ' 28- ' 29. Mary Grace has been a straightfor- ward, upright, earnest worker and one who will long be remembered. She is always ready to do anything that is for the good of Weaver. Her kind-hearted- ness has endeared her to all of us. We wish her much success. Pace 30 CHARLIE GRIER BEAM Cherrvvili.e, N. C. Where duty calleth he is always found.

' 28- ' 29; Secretary of Senior Class; Moun- taineer Staff, Advertising Manager; As- sistant Manager Baseball ' 28, Managei ' 29. Grier has been a help to our class in many ways but perhaps most of all in being advertising manager of our An- nual. Everyone knows how hard ads •are to get, but Grier (we do not pretend to know how) has gotten them. We predict a great future for him as a sales- man. ERNESTINE FINCHER Mineral Springs, N. C. Could money buy her ability all the world would be sending her bids. Mnemosynean Literary Society, Chap- lain, Critic ' 28, Secretary ' 29; Life Serv- ice Band ' 28- ' 29 ; Rowan Club ' 28; U. S. A.

President ' 29; Vice-President of Ro- mance Language Club. In Ernestine we have a girl of whom we all are proud. She manages to get along well with everyone, the faculty in- cluded. Of her ability we need only to say that she is Mr. Duncan ' s assistant. There is not much about Weaver and its affairs that she does not know. Pace 31 HARVEY L. ROBINSON Weaverviu.e, N. C. A keen mind hiding behind a football reputation. Delphian Literary Society ' 25- ' 26, Presi- dent ' 27; Buncombe County Club; Var- sity Football ' 26- ' 27, Captain ' 28; Varsity Basket-ball ' 25, Captain ' 26- ' 27 ; Varsity- Baseball ' 27; Tennis Club; Athletic Council; Pep Reporter; Mountaineer Staff, Photographic Editor; Bachelor Club ' 26; Haywood County Club; Mono- gram Club. As for Harvey, he is one of the main breezes of the Golden Tornado. He is quite a shark in English, and his favorite adjective is prissy. In fact, Harvey is one of the best all-round boys Weaver has ever known. ELIZABETH McCRACKEN Waynesville, N. C. A Maiden never bold. Euterpean Literary Society, Secretary, President ' 28, Sponsor ' 28; Havwood County Club; U. S. A. Club. It would be hard to find a girl with a sweeter disposition than Our Lib. She is always smiling and ready to do anything to help anybody. She never makes a noise about anything she does, but when we want some one for a real friend we can count on Lib. Pace 32 HERSCHEL HIPPS Canton, N. C. The kind of fellow to reach that great goal — success. Delphian Literary Society; Haywood County Club; Superintendent of Sunday School, First Quarter ' 29; Honorary Member of Rutherford County Club; Can- ton High School. Herschel is held high in the esteem not only of his classmates but of the whole college as well. His stay among us has been characterized by his sin- cerity and willingness to do his part. He is determined and aspiring; his policy is to find a way or make one. MRS. E. H. MEASAMER Sanford, N. C. .- good disposition is more valuable than gold. Euterpean Literary Society; Voted Sweetest Girl. Fortunately for the rest of us, Mrs. Measamer came in too late to get many Senior honors. She had been here less than a month when she was voted the sweetest girl in the Senior Class. We leave it to you to guess how many others she would have carried off had she had an even start. Certainly she makes friends quickly. Page 33 ELMER LATHAM MOCKSVILLE, N. C. Rest well and leave others to think of you as they will. Cliosophic Literary Society; Piedmont Eastern Carolina Club; Baseball ' 28; Basket-ball; Football ' 28; Member Stu- dent Council; Mocksville High School. Elmer is that rare combination of a good student, a hard worker, and a good football player. Be it working on the campus, studying, or playing football, Elmer is always ready to do his part and to do it well. THELMA NESBITT Fletcher, N. C. Though far, far away, she will always be one of us. Mnemosynean Literary Society; Bun- combe County Club; Life Service Band; Romance Language Club; Fairview High School. Thelma is a conscientious as well as a consistent student. Always ready to help, one never has to beg Thelma to do her share. She has many friends at Weaver who are wishing her the best in life; this she deserves. Pace 34 WILLIAM H. ZIMMERMAN, JR.

Bill is our musician, and we are very proud of him. His musical talent and abilitv will bring him fame some day; of this we are sure. But besides his musi- cal ability, Bill has another outstand- ing quality — that of making friends, and this he uses all the time. HALLIE SUE NEWMAN Walnut Cove, N. C. None knew her but to love her; Xone named her but to praise. Mnemosynean Literary Society; Life Service Band; Brevard Institute High School. Hallie is our nurse. Her kind-hearted- ness and sympathy have made us love her (even though she does put us to bed, sometimes, against our will). Besides being a good nurse, Hallie is a good stu- dent and is loved by all the other students and, best of all, by the faculty. Page 35 RUTH PARKER Weaverville, N. C. Happy am I, from rare am free, Why aren ' t all people content like me Mnemosyne an Literary Society; Bun- combe County Cluh, Secretary ' 26- ' 27 ; Commercial Club, Vice-President, Spon- sor ' 27- ' 28; Cheer-leader ' 26- ' 27- ' 28 ; Reading Medal ' 27; Weaver College High School. We shall never fail to remember Ruth ' s cheerful disposition and winning smile. And we can not help being a lit- tle envious of her ability to sing. We are sure Weaver will be better for her hav- ing been here. Ruth, here ' s to you ! MABEL NESBITT Fairview, N. C. He love her b ecause s ie is Mabel. ' Mnemosynean Literary Society, Vice- President ' 28; Buncombe County Cluh, Secretary and Treasurer ' 28- ' 29 ; U. S. A.

We all love Mabel. Who wouldn ' t? Her sweet disposition, friendliness, and sincerity make her one of the most pop- ular girls on the campus. It would be hard to find a hner example of what a girl ought to be than Mabel. Fun and seriousness are combined in just the right proportion. In fact, we can not, at present, think of a single thing about her that we should like changed. Pace 36 MAYE KENNEDY Weaverville, N. C. Knoivn to few, but loved by all who know her. Mnemosynean Literary Society; Bun- combe County Club; Commercial Club; Assistant Commercial Teacher; Secretary to President Trowbridge ' 27; Assistant Bookkeeper ' 28- ' Z9; Annual Staff ' 29, Typist. A friendship with Maye is one to be cherished. She is lovable by nature, bril- liant in the classroom, and sympathetic among her fellow students. We appre- ciate her presence at Weaver. CARRIE LEE WEAVER Lawndale, N. C. A smile for all, a welcome glad. The true Weaver way she had. Euterpean Literary Society ; Haywood County Club; Epworth League Cabinet Second Department Superintendent ' 28 Treasurer ' 29; Mountaineer Staff, Joke Editor; Derby Club; Assistant Secretary Sunday School Second Quarter ' 29; Sun day School Secretary Fourth Quarter ' 28 We will never fail to remember Carrie Lee ' s cheerful disposition and winning smile.

A future modern woman. Euterpean Literary Society, Vice-Presi- dent; Class Prophet; Inter-collegiate De- bate ' 28; Reading Contest; Junior De- bate; Stenographer for Pep ' 27. Ethel is the author, poet, and debator of our class. We expect great things achieved by this mountain girl, when she takes her place among the writers of tomorrow. She studies, works, and even plays sometimes. Her sincerity and open friendliness have won a host of friends for her while she has been at Weaver. MARY LOUISE HARTFIELD Weaverville, N. C. Serious and dependable, trustworthy and true, Capable and efficient, and an excellent student, too. Euterpean Literary Society, Chaplain; Buncombe Countv Club; Spanish Club; Class Prophet ' 27; 4-H Club. Louise is calm, resolute, and serene. The more we learn of her, the better we like her. She is a good student and has helped to keep the record of our class up. Studying however is not the only thing she can do; she knows how to play bas- ketball, too. Page 38 HAZEL BURCHETTE Sparta, N. C. A jolly, unselfish personality is the greatest gift of all. Euterpean Literary Society, Vice-Presi- dent, Chaplain, Secretary; U. S. A.

There is something about Hazel that one can not help liking. It is hard to de- fine; it must be personality. Anyway she has a host of friends on the campus. She does not broadcast her own merit or her plans ; therefore we are not sure what she intends to do in the future. But one thing we are sure of; it will be some- thing worthwhile. MARGARET NOLAN D Waynesboro, Virginia She loves her own way, hut her way is usually right. Mnemosynean Literary Society, Sec- retary and Treasurer ' 27, Critic ' 27, Treasurer ' 28; Brevard Institute Club; Derby Cluh, Secretary and Treasurer ' 28; Haywood County Club, Secretary and Treasurer ' 28; Tennis Club. There are other Margarets at W. C, but the outstanding one is in our class of ' 29. A friendship with Margie is one to be cherished. Although she was voted the hardest boiled of our class, she is a good-natured girl, and we are happy to have her in our midst. ' Tis a friendly heart that has many friends, rare com- pound of quality, noble and true, with plenty of sense and good humor too. Page 39 Class Prophecy of ' 29 TWENTY YEARS HENCE ' Where, oh where are the grave old seniors? They ' re safe in the wide, wide world. Bernice Avett ' s dark eyes enslaved Morgan Driskell and the minister said the words. They are keeping- house in a beautiful little bungalow with a pink rambler over the door. Hazel Burchette is a globe trotter and lecturer of international fame. She loves to talk, and her lectures are of unending delight to both her audiences and herself. Herald Ballard is known as the Daniel Webster of his age. His propensity for argument led him to the bar, and he practices law in Chicago. Dora Blanton? Oh, she ' s Mrs. Burton ' league, charming wife of Senator Teague, you know. Dora says she likes being a Senator ' s wife, very much indeed. Mary Grace Baldwin has won the love and confidence of the Chinese with whom she has worked for many years. With her Madonna-like face and gentle voice Glennie Coman cheers and aids her husband, the Reverend Hite Helms, that famous Methodist minister, in the great work he is doing-. As a grave professor at Chapel Hill, Louise Hartfield is making the road toward higher math- ematics especialy delightful to her pupils. Ruth Hansen is living- in Cuba now. Cuba and the delightful people who live there were always her specialty. Of course, she married one of the charming Cubans. Inez Fincher, who used to delight the student body of Weaver with her comical sketches of a long-suffering faculty, is America ' s foremost humorist. Her comedies are being - put on the stage in all parts of the world. Of course Ernestine Fincher is a school ma ' am. She is president of Vassar, and has more college and university degrees than she can remember. Herschel Hipps and Margaret Noland set up rival business firms, but they decided they could do better by pooling their resources. They are now at the head of one of the largest firms in America. Olive Jones is foreig-n correspondent for the New York Times. She has been unusually suc- cessful, and no wonder-for when she turns her clear gray eyes on a News prospect, he gives up and eagerly tells her all his past history and his future hopes and aspirations. Maye Kennedy and Thelma Nesbitt have gained lasting fame as violinists. Their violin duets are received with great enthusiasm b y vast audiences both in Europe and America. Ralph Kennedy is the owner and editor of the best newspaper in North Carolina. He is a great political power and is seriously thinking- of run- ning- for President in the next presidential cam- paign. Elmer Latham owns a three-thousand acre ranch in Wyoming and practices on the cows the declamations and speeches he springs on his col- legues in the State Senate. Ashevi lie ' s most successful attorney, Halsey B. Leavitt, Jr., has just moved into his new office in the Flat Iron building, which he has purchased from the profits of his fees made in the Kennedy vs. Weaver College case. There is a beautiful little chapel in the Blue Ridg-e Mountains, that is known as the most won- derful piece of modern architecture in the world. Its architect is Mabel Nesbitt. who brings into actual reality her dreams of long- ago. Hal lie Newman ' s gentle voice and cheerful smile are helping hundreds of patients to regain their health and strength in the big hospital which she has founded. Elizabeth McCracken is North Carolina ' s first woman governor. Her quiet dignity and womanly ways greatly enhance the attractiveness of the State Capitol. Travellers in a certain town in Central China are astonished at the unusually well scubbed and cheerful faces of the inhabitants. The Reverend Charles Tilley, the well known medical mission- ary, is responsible for this great change in the town. Grier Beam is still quiet and unassuming, but his ability in the field of education is unbounded, His book-s and treatises are in use in most of the colleges in the United States. Mark Pridgen is a world famous s nent ist. His research work in Medical Science has been espe- cially important, for he has discovered a new and hitherto unsuspected germ and the way to kill it. Carrie Lee Weaver has guided her life by the stars. She founded the Weaver Observatory and has declared, after much star gazing, that con- trary to the general impression it is her opinion that Mars is not inhabited. Her statements are given world-wide consideration. Ruth Parker is running a beauty shop that is patronized by all those who would be beautiful but are not. Ruth has discovered an infallible preventive and cure for grouches of long stand- ing. Bill Zimmerman is considered the greatest composer of music since the time of Beethoven. The energy with which he can bang on the piano is second to that of none, and he still talks incessantly. Harvey Robinson has become the world ' s greatest lover on the silver screen. His best pictures are college stories, in which he makes a brilliant play for his football team at the critical moment, just as he used to do at Weaver. Ethel Phipps still goes around with a pencil in her hand and an absent look on 1 her face. She is working out new situations in which to put her story book characters. Ethel has been writing novels for several years, and enjoys the work. Mrs. Measamer is London ' s most charming hostess. The brilliant social life of the nation ' s capital revolves around the laughter-loving wife of America ' s Ambassador to the Court of St. James, for her gay good humor is fascinating to all who meet her.

Page 59 Football Review Eighteen consecutive victories, with two state championships, is the record of the Golden Tornado of Weaver College. The 1928 grid season was a repetition of the 1927 season with nine wins being chalked upon the Weaver ledger. Nine lettermen reported for the squad. These nine with Starnes and Ballard of last year ' s reserves, and Fortson, Whitener, Foster and Latham, composed the 1928 edition. The Tornado blew Biltmore College to a 32-7 defeat. H. Walter, the blossoming full back, made the first touchdown. Teague and Robinson ran well against the light visitors. Mount Pleasant Collegiate Institute was next to feel the force of the Talmanites. The cadets allowing 34-0, as the Weaver backs galloped to an easy win. Starnes wan his spurs as a varsity lineman, with all the eleven showing up well. Wingate dropped its third game in the last four years when the irresistable Weaver machine crushed them 25-0. The gold line held the Baptists while the Weaver backs made merry. A third step toward the title was taken when Captain Robinson led his men to a 13-7 victory over Boh Hayes ' Campbell College eleven on the Asheville Memorial Stadium. Nelson Fortson performed for his home folks, the blonde guard playing a great game. Campbell tied the score but saw its hopes fade when late in the fourth period Vinson and Robinson shattered the tackles in an eighty yard march to win the game. Brevard Institute fell 58-0 as the varsity took a light walk out and retired to let the reserves tear up the visiting Methodists. Foster and Nance of the second back field sparkled, while Till ey in his first game also drew favorable comment. Showing their great strength the Tornadoes swept Rutherford College to a 19-13 defeat and clinched the 1928 crown. A gentle Zephyr at the first half, as the Rutherford eleven swept over a 13-0 lead, the Tornado roared in the last half as Vinson, Teague, and Robinson riddled the line and Robinson threw passes tu Jordan, and Begley for long gains. Weaver had the ball on the one yard line as the game ended. This makes four years that the Ramblers have come to Weaver, the mountain Methodists having never lost to their sister school. The Champions showed their power to a large crowd in Asheville Stadium, and left no doubt as to their class, when they swamped the Erskine Freshmen 1 78-6. Teague was the in- dividual star on the first play, running 63 yards to score, and a moment later running back a punt for 50 yards. He later added one more touchdown. Robinson also scored thnee times. Pridgen was twice called into the back field and drove across the last white line for score, his first points for Weaver in the four years he has played. Jordan and Latham snagged many passes and continued their valiant work. Thanksgiving day found the Tornado roaring its farewell as it blew through the East Tennessee Teachers to a tune of 32-0. The heavier Teachers were never in a threatening position. Pridgen playing his last game at guard, was the star of the Line. His interception of a Tennessee pass placed Weaver in a position to make her first touchdown. Vinson made two of the touchdowns; Robinson and Walters each scored once; to Teague went the last touchdown of the year. This game ended the careers of Captain Robinson, who played his third year; Walter, finishing his second; Teague his second also; Pridgen a four year man who played the greatest defensive game of his career in his farewell; Vinson the Tennessee flash playing his third year; Latham who has played but one year. All made their last appear- ance. Trantham and Jordan, two other veterans, were unable to play. There was a sad quietness over the field as these men left the gridiron for the last time. It will be a long while before their names are forgotten, or the name of the man to whom a lion ' s share of the credit for this great record 1 is due- — Howard Parker Talman.

Their schedule consists of four plays a year: in the fall two plays by the Literary societies; in the spring a play bv the Epworth League and one by the Seniors. The last is generally given during Commencement week. The Delphian and Mnemosynean Societies this year presented The Patsy. It was as favorably received by the Weaver audience as it has been by the country at large. Miss Olive Jones, who showed remarkable skill in her interpretation of The Patsy , was ably assisted by a talented cast which showed great artistic ability. Ruth Hansen, Bernice Avett, Dan Lawson, and William Zimmerman deserve honorable mention. The other members of the cast — Ralph Kennedy, Frances Brown, Horace Brown, and Gains Link, all did fine and effective work. Honor Bright was the comedy chosen by the Cliosophic and Euterpean Literal) Societies, and it was highly praised by an appreciative audience. Miss Eleanor Trow- bridge and Mr. William Pruett did excellent work in the leading parts, and their acting showed both intelligent interpretation and artistic finish. Hazel Burchette, Loleeta Smith, Inez Fincher, Hugh Rogers, Eugene Lance and Red Snyder showed exceptional ability in their respective parts. Those in minor parts, Clara Rogers, Mary Grace Baldwin, Will Stubbs, Harry McCracken, Lowell Glover, Opal Goodman and Walter Cuthrell showed great skill and did good work.

LEAVITT, JR. As this book passes in review before your eyes, we would have you recall for a brief moment the joys and sorrows that went to make this living monument possible. The making of this volume has been a challenge to the imagination and resourcefulness of its com- pilers. We give it to you, not as polished piece of art, but as a me- mento of happy and joyful days. In it we have written love and hope, success and achievement. If from it you get one moment of joy, or she d one tear, or heave one sigh of relief, we will feel fully repaid for the time and effort that it has cost us. R. A. K. H. B. L.
