Henry did not return to us after Christmas last year. He decided to try Tennessee Mili- tary Institute. September, 1922, found Henry back in our midst, and he recei ed a hearty welcome. He says that T. Al. I. is a good school, but dear old Fishburne has them all beat. He neither dances nor is he an athlete, but let us tell y( iu he (hies find enjoyment in lircarms.

Henry is a ratlier quiet, (U ' ep-thinking lad, and he keeps to himself most of the time, ne cr-the-less he has many friends in school. He exhibits much interest in the many phases of school life, and during his stay with us liis conduct has remained free from all blemishes.
