W alter is the class champion in curpn- Icncc, highly (listinj uished, careless of hon- ors. One of the few who can stand 1) - him- self. A monarch in the Literary Society. Spends Sunday afternoon in his y;o-cart sh w- inL;- the wonderful feats of the famous NicJ- demus to the gazing- populace, ' ' igun en- joys the proud distinction of studying in his Senior year. A chronic kicker who is wise in the business, a fearless advocate who can fight without flinching. An antagonist without malice, a friend without favor, he ])ursues the even tenor of his way, smashing the fanciful foibles of furious foes, then smiling in dis- dain at their consternation and curses. A man by himself, nevertheless a man. Junior Foot-Ball ; Freshman Declaimer ; Sophomore Orator; Class Florist; Lamar Society; A.B. ; chosen profession. Law. John Cude RoussEaux Logtown, !Miss.

Aspires to be a bishop. Everybody ' s friend, and his ever-recurrent say, fellows, makes him liked by all. Aery profound in books and speech. Is timid in expressing his own con- victions. A great poet, and has even suc- ceeded in causing some to believe him a gen- ius. Has a deep sense of right and wrong. Never thinks of himself as being brighter than others, although he has won distinction in many ways.
