M. C. A. 19211-21-22: Secretary Student Senate 1921-22. Xever did our Alma Mater boast of a student of a higher sense of honor and justice, a more winning personality, and a more perfect endowment of man- hood than Perry. It may be truly said he is every inch a Man. He is one of those few men whom, even an enemy, if he had one, would still trust. How fortunate humanity would be if there were more like him. William Sihox Traweek Fayette. Alabama Applicant for A. B. Masonic Club; Belle Lettres Literary Society; Ministerial Association: President Belle Lettres Literary Society 1921; Chairman Program Committee Ministerial Association 1920- 21; President Ministerial Association 1921-22: Chairman Stu- dent Government Committee 1921-22. This serious-minded young man entered the portals of our institution some six years ago, but his progress on the road to knowledge was checked for a time as he gave his service to his country during the world war. Since that time he has plodded slowly but surely onward, overcoming all obstacles, until now he stands ready to take the plunge into the sea of life. But it is rumored that he will not take the plunge alone. Si. we wish vou the best of success. Moses Riley Westox Birmingham, Alabama Applicant for A. B. Belle Lettres Literary Society; Grant ' s College: Southern University 1S96-7; Ladies ' Debater: Critic Belle Lettres Literary Society. .Mr. Weston ' s love for his Alma Mater was so strong that he has seen fit to return and complete his work toward a degree. Ye feel justly proud of this worthy son of old Southern University, who has responded to her call and inscribed his name upon the annals of her history as an alumnus of her worthy successor. The Class of ' 21 feels it a dis- tinct honor to have Mr. Weston as a member, and extends him the warmest welcome and fellowship. Page Twenty-four

Middlebrooks is one of our number who has combined ministerial duties with those of securing an education, and in both occupations has stood with the foremost. In 1919-20 he had the distinction of winning the Philosophy medal, which alone would indicate that he had learned to handle to advantage the best the profs could send against him. We be- lieve that lie will also be able to cope witb the larger, more difficult problems of life. Gerwin Myer Brandon, Fla. Applicant for A. B. Pi Kappa Alpha; Clariosophic Literary Society; S. A. T.

Jew Baby came to us during the S. A. T. C. year from — nobody knows where — and has been with us continually since. There is a rumor that he spends a good many of his week-ends somewhere out in the country from here, so you can see he has other interests besides those of his college duties. His ambitions are to secure the girl of his choice, and to rival Caruso in the exercise of his melodious voice. Jew, these are worthy ambitions, ambitions in which you deserve to succeed. Robert Justin Rowe Munford, Alabama Applicant for A. B. Alpha Tau Omega; Clariosophic Literary Society; Foot- ball 1918-19; Baseball 1918-19-20; Ladies ' Debater 1918; Glee Cluh 1920-21; Manager Baseball 1920; Athletic Editor Revue 1920; President Dramatic Club 1921; Main Ouartet 1921- 22; D. I. K. Club. Bob entered our class just four years ago — one of the greenest rats that ever bowed before a sophomores ' belt, but since that time has rapidly learned the ways of a college man and is now one of the best liked men in the class. In his Junior year he had the distinction of being elected the Most Handsome Man, which for most of us would have been honor enough but not so for Bob. For him there are other worlds to conquer, and we hope and believe he will conquer them. Page Twenty-three

Howard is one of the most popular members of the class, as is shown by his being elected Class President. He is a man who can be depended noon at all times to do his best in whatever he under- takes. He is the only member of the class who had the honor of helping tie the knot in the bulldog ' s tail last Xovember. Howard, we expect with a great deal of pleasure to hear of your success.
