He came to us from our friends across the river at City High School. By the record he made there we know that his quali- ties and attainments are rarely found in a prep school boy. Slim Jim's abilities and interests have been recognized since he entered here. He at once took up the spirit of the school, and although he has not made a letter in any of the athletic teams, he has shown his manliness by being on hand every afternoon. In the class-room also he has proved that he can accomplish anything he attempts, for he is usually on the Honor Roll. Popular, pleasing, and genteel in his appearance, Slim Jim has won a place in the hearts of all who know him. When an occasion demands, there is not a merrier character in school than this specimen of the human race.

But Alley has pulled through in splendid shape and at last is ready to graduate. During the football season he may be found around the athletic field, taking in all of what Coach Rike happens to be thinking at that moment, then going and putting it into practice with such vim and force that he has been a letter man for more than one year. This year SL Elmo outdid himself and proved one of the best standbys Coach had, making All-City by a big majority. This is his second year on the team and, although we will miss him when he is gone, I have heard quite a few of the unfortunates say that they will be glad when he is gone as they shall have a chance to play. ln school Alley may be found somewhere on the campus, rain or shine, and despite the fact that the day is dark and dreary. he is always smiling.

BARNES fol1li R. l7llA'l l'ANO0GA,'I'l'INN, . ' . r...l l our years ago there came trudging up to the old 'Baylor School a short, fat and good- looking boy who gave his name as Mister john R. Barnes. We may easily describe this young gentleman by quoting the worcls of Washington lrving as he portrayed one of his characters by saying, He was exactly five feet six inches in height and six feet five inches in circumference. His head was a perfect sphere. We may say without hesitation that there is no boy in school who has won his way into our hearts more than has john R. He is one of the finest boys that ever came to Baylor, for never has he been found unwilling to do his part. No boy has come to this institution who has had a finer character or who has been more congenial than Old john R. It did not take him long to become very popular with all who came to know him for he has the knack of making friends easily, and has always proved to be a good sport. Barnes is planning to go we sincerely hope that to the University of Chat- V ' ' tr -A some clay he will mean as tanooga next year.
