CEORGE ALEXANDER McCALL, M. A. Weatherford, Texas ALEXANDER GRAY .M. A. Waxahachie, Texas PhiUnnoian lowship in History, ’14. Here we have a combination unpre- cedented in the annals of men—a de- bonaire among the ladies, a stubborn politician, a hog at the table, and sleeper of no mean duration. When he tucks his draperies about him upon his downy couch, whether it be to pleasant dreams or not, it is surely for the greater part of the twenty-four hours. Never has man been known to slumber with so much enjoyment as George. His stubbornness in argu- ment is awful, his ability disappoint- ing. But if he can manufacture lies always as he did during his career in college he will be the greatest law- yer in Texas. George has been known to go to chapel and even to a class, but it was only to shake hands with his class mates after so long an absence and have the fellows tell him how fclad they are to see him. His appetite will lose him many a Sunday dinner, but his ever-pleasing willingness to sym- pathize will beguile many an innocent into inviting him to a meal for the first time. We predict for George a hand- - 30 Alex, has a square jaw and red hair, —what is left — and altogether looks like a prize fighter—after the fight. - Also like some of the tribe he “came back”. He took last year all that his - poor head would hold so we surmise that he returned to acquire an added polish (on his marble-like pate). He has the common weakness of all foolish men, that of admiring the fairer sex. With this is a concomitant weakness for sentimental poetry between the reading of which and the writing, h ' has scarcely time to apply his hair'.--, tonic, one of his daily tasks—always working under a vain delusion that it will some day return. If he misses the application even once, though, it up- sets him for a week. Alex, is proving himself an admirable minister to the widows and orphans—if they happen to be of the right variety. We are sure that he will take well in the jungles of heathendom where he has so unselfishly decided to go.

avoid trouble. In his misery he always sang to himself for consolation. Next to these accomplishments, Reuben is a dancer. He has already constructed several dances that he claims have the tango beaten all hollow. We seriously fear that he is going to become a dancing teacher, but advise him that he go to digging ditches if he expects to make a living. He spends most of his time in school gathering up old clothes and worrying about examinations that are several months off. ARMISTEAD ARLEDGE ALDRICH, A. B. Crockett, Texas
