RUFUS COLMORE LAZZELL Holden. W. Va. 'tRufe is one boy who has really made himself known around K. M. I. His chest of medals proves his many abilities, including riflery and public speaking. Although his musical scope is practically unlimited, he chooses the French Horn as the outlet for his talent. He studies hard. but occasion- ::1Ty finds himself unprepared for class. in which case he finds it necessary to start a bull session. As an officer, he demonstrates his powers of leadership and persuasion, and we are sure his energy and en- thusiasm for everything he does will avail him much in later life.
