In the fall of '30, Billy, as he is commonly called, entered Baylor. Since that time he has made a brilliant record. He is a good student and a fine athlete. He excels in mathematics, but he makes good grades in all his classes, making the honor roll all the time. Not large enough to malce the varsity, Billy was an outstanding player on all the small teams. Billy has been with us a long time, and it is with regret that we see him leave, but we predict for him success everywhere he goes. He is a boy of high ideals, honesty and integrity. If he lceeps on in future life as he has begun, his future happiness and success are assured. MEREDITH ELBERT DEMENT, -IR.

Since his arrival at Baylor in 1931 Med has shone consistently in both his studies and on the athletic field. Med has risen to the rank of lieutenant this year and has proved his abilities as a leader. Not confining himself to his regular campus life, Med has entered into many extra-curricular affairs. He is on the Notes staff and is also taking part in writing the KLIF KLAN. Med has figured in various sports while he has been at Baylor. Among these are the Midget Football Squad, junior Basketball Team, and the Baseball Team. While he does not lead the class in his grades, this boy has proved himself to be a good, steady student whose name can usually be found on the honor roll. Good-natured and reliable, Med will be missed by all his friends when school begins again next year. Baylor bids a fond farewell to Med and wishes him the best of luclc in years to come. 28

- 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

Bud hails everyone with a smile and a greeting. He is well-liked and has an irresistible personality, with, of course, an enviable way with the belles. He likes nothing better than to pull a joke on someone-and usually gets off some good ones. In this, his second year of military, he has showed his capabilities as a corporal. It is quite evident that he can do well in whatever field he becomes interested. We are sure that he will leave school with a well-rounded education and will become one whom the school is proud to number among its graduates. jossvu DAVID EDDINS HELENA, ARKANSAS Entered 19335 Baylor Notes, 193465-36, Orchestra, 1933-34: Y. M. C. A., 1933-34-35-36g Glee Club, l933g Drum and Bugle Coxps, 1934-35-365 Out- ing Club, 1933, Corporal, 1935, Sergeant, l936. Arkansas Joe is the kind of boy that that everyone likes and admires. He is a perfect gentleman, con- ducting himself in such a manner that his company is always sought after. Since entering Baylor in 1933 he has worked himself up to the position of Sergeant in the Drum and Bugle Corps, has been a member of many clubs and organiza- tions, and has proved himself to be a steady scholar. Joe likes athletics, his favorite sport being golf. Big Joev has the rare combination of per:everance, high ideals, and a good nature. These are the reasons for his popularity among the boys and teachers. Eddins is what you might call a ladies' man, since few of the Chattanooga belles have escaped having some- thing to do with him. No doubt his good looks and ready wit have had something to do with it. He will always be remembered by his alma mater as a fine example of young American manhood. 29
