Al- though he sniffled some of their gas. he seems to have gotten the better of the little argument over there and came back in fine fettle for joining in a contest of longer du- ration against the forces of his Satanic ma- jesty. He is a minister of the gospel who comports himself in a manner worthy of his calling. The times demand such men as he. Waldemar H. Lefstead , A.B. THORSBV, ALABAMA A. H. A. Club; cty; Y. M.

Lefstead entered Birmingham-Southern in the fall of ' 21 as a sophomore, having spent a year at Newberry College in South Caro- lina, He immediately demonstrated a high order of ability as a student. Being some- what modestly disposed, he does not make display of his ability; but merit does not go unrewarded. Birmingham-Southern College is to be congratulated on this son of New- berry. ]VM I i

Achievements are not measured bv vears. as is well attest- ed in the case of Howard. He has made an enviable record in the classroom. As a side- line he works with Gold and Black and shoots darts at female hearts. One mig ht judge his marksmanship to be extraordina- rily good. He is a valuable man to h ' s class and he will be a no less valuable citizen to his state. John Hicks Howell. A.B.

His va- ried activities on the campus, as well as his excellent work in the classroom, have made him an invaluable man. We expect him to play the game of life in a manner that will bring pride to his classmates. Ervin Jackson. B.S.

Ervin is another of that number who stole a march on the Juniors and left them trailing a full year behind. In addi- tion to this, he proved himself one of the niost efticient business men to appear on the hill in many a year by the manner in which he directed the financial destinies of the Re- vue and the football team. All of which presages the larger things he will put across later. fa J '
