He is tops in his class scholasrically, writes for the Notes and the KLIF KLAN, plays in the orchestra, boxes, runs, and a lot more. During Ackerson's two years at Baylor he has become a part of the school. His pleasing personality and con- stant good humor make him the life and soul of any- thing he is a part of. He is a boy in whom any high expectations can be well founded, and will be carried out better. He cannot help but make a name for him- self in his chosen work. HUGH WILMER AGRICOLA GADSDEN, ALABAMA Entered 19345 Junior Midget Football, 1934-355 League Baseball. 1935-363 Y. M. C. A., 1934-355 Glee Club, 19365 Corporal, 19355 Alabama Club, 19365 KLIF KLAN, 1936. Hugh has made a fine record at Baylor, going at whatever he undertakes with a tremendous zest. He is one of the hardest workers hereg not many days pass that one doesn't find him studying before reveille and until after taps. He is not only a student but an athlete as well, participating in football, baseball, and swim- ming. Although he does not make friends quickly, once made, they stick by him through thick and thin. His manners are quiet, but underneath is that devil-may- care spirit that rises now and then, causing him to lose his reputation as strictly a quiet boy. Hugh plans to go to the University of Virginia to study law. We know that he will be a success and an honor to the school from which he graduated. 23 1

Jafar ncfn Me SENICDRS We donlt want to be accused of smugness, but we really feel that the Class of 1936 is a pretty good class, taken by and large. We have upheld the traditions of the School reasonably well, and although some of us have been too frequently seen at Lanels, we have so far kept out of the hands of the law. We have cle- veloped some excellent athletes and much military material of a high order, not to mention scholars of Cum Honore status to the mystic number of seven. As we say goodbye to the good old Hilltop, we wish to leave this final word with the Baylor boys who will occupy our places in the years to come: Do your best for your School, not only on the playing field but also in the classrooms. Let's go, Tigers! THE KLIF KLAN STAFF. MOREAU JAMES JUMONVILLE NEVV ORLEANS, LOUISIANA Entered 1932: Y. lVl. C.

Due to sickness, Moreau was four weeks late returning to school at the beginning of his last year. When time came, however, to elect the Senior Class President, he was elected, despite the fact that he was not pres- ent. The highest elective honor that Baylor can bestow climaxed four years of leadership for Moreau. His captaincy of the basketball team, his captaincy of the tennis team, and his cap- taincy of Company A,-all show his ver- satile abilities. Few boys, if any, made more sincere friends than Moreau. His pleasing person- ality, his gift of leadership, his marvelous school spirit, and his unquestionable charac- ter have won for him the admiration of his classmates. It is a well known fact that the world is eagerly searching for men with initiative and ability. Moreau possesses these two quali- ties. We shall not be surprised when we hear that he has made a success in life. It is men like him that keep the high standard of Baylor riding high. It is with sorrow that we see him go, but it is with boastfulness that we say, He is a Baylor cuss Pnesloem HDV' l 76 72

- Mem ers - BRUCE CLAY BISHOP LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, TENNESSEE Entered 19325 Varsity Football, 1934-35, Baseball, 1933-34-35-36, Student Honor Council, 1933-35-36, Secretary Student Honor Council, 1935-36: President Sophomore Class, 19333 Vice-President junior Class, 19345 Sfcre- tary Senior Class, 19355 Sergeant. 1934g Captain, 19353 Winning Com- pany, 1934-35, Crack Platoon, 1932-33-354 Honor Roll, 1934-35-36g Lit- erary Club. 19335 Choir, 1933-343 Glee Club, 1934-35-363 Baylor Notes. 1935-365 KLIF KLAN, 1935-361 Camp Counsellor, 1935. Bruce entered Baylor in the fall of 1932 and imme- diately made a name for himself on the Midget football squad. He went up from the Midgets to the Varsity in 1934, and under the expert tutelage of Coach Rike made the team in 1935. Bruce is a steady, easy-going boy who loves to kid and can take it as well as dish it out. He is well above the average in his studies, as he is in everything else. We think that Bruce is a fine ex- ample of the typical Baylor boy, clean living, honest, and upright. To show their faith in him, his classmates elected him president of the sophomore class, and this year elected him secretary of his class. Major Fisher made Bruce Captain of Company C this year, thus showing the confidence and trust that the school places in him. He has nice curly hair that all the girls really go crazy over, but he doesn't mind. We say to Bruce at the parting of the ways, Q'Good luck, Bruce, may your cup of success be filled to over- flowing. ALPHoNsUs L. Bowes, JR. ENDICOTT, NEVV YORK Entered 19345 Baseball, 1934-355 Y. M. C. A., 1934-35, Corporal, 1933. Al Bowes is one of the very few boys from the state of New York who have attended Baylor, and he is a boy to uphold his state's reputation, and one that his state should be proud to have uphold it. His ever- present wit and humor have made him the life of the smoking area, classroom, and dormitory. He, like many others, although not high in the scholastic standing of the class, has a clogged disposition that won't let him quit a thing once he has set out on it. On the baseball diamond there is nothing he can't and won't do. I-le knows the game from the bottom up. He can also make a baseball do almost anything he wants it to. In his two years at Baylor Al has easily and quickly adapted himself to the ways and customs of the South, and his pleasing conversation and manners have made him part of the Ole South. 24
