' Mem ers - DYER BUTTERFIELD, JR. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, TENNESSEE Entered 19325 Crack Platoon, 19345 Winning Platoon, 19345 Sergeant, 19353 Captain, 19365 Vlfinning Team Baseball League, 1933-34-355 Varsity Football, 19355 Manager Basketball, 19365 Honor Roll Medal, 1934-35-365 Baseball, 19365 Camp Counsellor, 1933-355 Cum Honore, 1936. Dyer hails from the city above the clouds. He en- tered Baylor in 1932, a quiet redhead who has made many friends since that day, four years ago. Dyer proved himself not only an outstanding student but also showed great ability in both sports and military. He rose rapidly from the Midget football squad to the Varsity. His military ability pulled him from a pri- vate to a sergeant, and then to a captain, all in four short years. As a student, Dyer is a top-notcher, ranking about fourth in the school. He received the highest award that can be given to a Baylor boy, and that was Cum Honore. Dyer's departure will be a great loss for Baylor but a gain for some college. So long, Dyer, may success always be yours! I-1oRAcE W. CHADDICK, JR. CHATTANOOCA, TENNESSEE Entered 19335 Biology Trophy, 19343 Glee Club, 1934-355 Business Staff, Baylor Notes, 1935-365 Sergeant, 1936. Horace entered Baylor in 1933, a small youth, not quite sure what it was all about or why, but he quickly became acclimated and got down to work. He has a brilliant and ready smile that he uses to great advantage in making friends with the faculty as well as with his classmates. He also has a ready wit, which he makes frequent use of in the classroom and on the campus. He took the Biology trophy in 1935, which showed his scholastic ability. This year he was made guide sergeant of the little platoon. We will be sorry to see you go, Horace, the campus will miss you and your wit, but we say in parting, '77 Farewell and good luck. 26

- Mem ers - Nir.s Go'ri-:Ano BREKKE ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA Entered l933g did not return for Sophomore Year. 1934-355 re-entered, 19353 Junior Basketballg Varsity Basketball: Tennisg Varsity Football: Baylor Notesg Y. M. C. A. No matter what profession Nils picks, he is certain to achieve his ambitions, if he will continue his activities as he has begun them at Baylor. No boy excels him in two phases of school activities. Some, but very few, are ahead of him in the classroom. He is the possessor of a brilliant mind which he uses to advantage. In athletics he made a hard-plugging end on our football team, a guard on the basketball team who stepped in when we needed him most to fill one of the vacated posts of two stars-he did this as if he were a veteran- and he is a good tennis player. In military, though he missed last year, he gained the coveted honor of Color Corporal. Besides all these various undertakings, he writes for our school paper and annual. It is almost needless to say now that he is one of the most popular boys in school. It is the natural tendency for other boys to be jealous of anyone who excels in everything, including a fine character, but when a boy has a natural personality, he merely becomes more pop- ular, as Nils has done. Upon boys' shoulders like yours, Nils, hang the ex- cellent name of our great school. WILLIAM CARTER BURDETT, JR. MACON, GEORGIA Entered l93Zg Y. Nl. C, A., 1932-33 34-35-365 Midget Football, 1933-353 Color Corporal, 1935-36g Honor Roll Medal, 1935-36. Billy, as he is affectionately called, came to Baylor three years ago, but dropped out last year and resumed his place in the class. He hasn't excelled particularly in athletics, but he has made himself a place in scholastic circles by making the honor roll practically every month. He has topped off his senior year by being appointed Color Corporal. As Billy leaves this year it will be someone else's gain and Baylor's loss, because it will be a long time before anyone of Billy's caliber comes to take his place. 25

- Mem ers - CHARLES REED CLEMENTS LAFAYETTE, GEORGIA Entered l935g Varsity Footballg Baseball. Another boy from LaFayette, Georgia, who has put his town on the map and made it famous-at Baylor anyway-is Charlie Clements. He, like his brother, was a hard nut to crack on the football field. During his short year on the Hill his winning and happy smile and humorous disposition have made him extremely popular, and gained for him a great many friends. Charlie is not outstanding as a scholar, but he is out- standing as a hard worker. His greatest ability is his willingness to work at something until he achieves his end, regardless of discouragements. In brief, he is an excellent friend and companion, and a diligent worker. CHARLES SHELBY COFFEY, JR. CIIATTANOOCA, TENNESSEE Entered 1933, Rifle Team, 1935-365 Trainer Football Team, 1934-35-36: Glee Club, 19,464 KLIF KLAN Staff, 1936, Crack Platoon, 1933, Winning Platoon, 1934-355 Outing Club, 19343 Chapel Choir, 19365 Notes Staff, 1936, Platoon Sergeant, l936g Lookout Mountain Club, 1934-35. Charlie, as he is known to his classmates and friends, entered Baylor in 1933. Prevented from taking exercise by an injured knee he made up for it by putting most of his time on studies. And when Doc Jensen came along, Charlie was one of the first boys to apply for a position on the Training Squad. He is a steady, easy-going sort of fellow who likes everyone and in turn is liked by everyone. He has one outstanding ambition: to be a doctor. If he shows the same perseverance all the way through college and med- ical school, he should make a first-class Sawbones.,' This year Major Fisher showed his confidence in Charlie by making him a guide sergeant in the first platoon of Company A. His main hobbies are boxing, hunting, and dates. He is an all-round good fellow. And to quote Mr. Pen- nington, A gentleman and a scholar. 'We wish Charlie the best of luck in college, medical school, and in life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. 27
