If any situation is too complex for Jeff we are yet to discover it. In every phase of student activity Jeff takes a part, be it athletic, literary, musical or social. Watch him as he goes through life. We predict that nothing will be too great for him to overcome, unless, perhaps, an unruly maiden. ‘‘He knows what’s what, and that’s as high As metaphysic wit can fly.” Norma Jeane McDonald, B.S. RUSTON, LOUISIANA Home Economics Course Entered, ’17; Vice-President Junior Class, ’21; Social Editor Lagniappe, ’22; Farmer and Farmerette Society, ’22; Secretary Cap and Gown Club, ’22. Where could we find a girl who e jolly and congenial ways have won more friends? She has scattered sun¬ shine along the path which she has traveled, and none of us will worry about her future as long as she retains her kind and friendly disposition. ‘‘A blytlie heart makes a blooming visage.” Charles W. Montgomery, B.S. DANVILLE, ARKANSAS Business C ourse Entered, January, ’22; Cap and Gown Club, ’22; Var¬ sity Baseball, ’22. Although “Dinty ’ has been with us only a very short time he has established himself firmly in the hearts and minds of his fellow students. He is so willing to take part in any activity which pertains to our school that we feel we shall miss him—and his smile sorely when his school days with us are ended. ‘‘The cheerful grin will let you in, where the knocker is never known.” 26

Frances is one girl in a thousand, and to know her well is a privilege. All who know her love her and marvel at her ability to “do things.” Whether it is keeping house, writing an English paper for Miss Johnson, editing an annual or making sandwiches for a picnic, Frances knows just how the thing should be done and does it well—always. “And mistress of herself, though China fall.’’ H.

But even his modesty and declarations of “density” cannot hide his natural ability and perfect gentlemanliness. “A friend, a gentleman, what more can we say?’’ Corinne Kendall, B.S. RUSTON, LOUISIANA Home Economics Course Entered, ’17; Re-entered, ’21; Treasurer Junior Class, ’20; President Cap and Gown Club, ’21; Farmer and Farmerette Society, ’22; Reporter Cap and Gown Club, ’22; Lagniappe Staff, ' 22. Corinne is one of the valuable members of the Senior Class. She is ever ready to help in any activity, for she has caught the true spiri t of the school. We hate to lose our kind and gentle yet jolly friend, but we realize that she has even greater things to do than she has done, and our sincerest good wishes go with her. “Heart on her lips, and soul within her eyes, Soft as her clime and sunny as her skies.’’ 25
