Howard G. Ford has devoted the past year to teaching the lower forms. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia. He began teaching in 1S 1 )2 in the Cleveland High School near Markham, Virginia. After teaching at this school for two years he returned to Memphis in 1 S 9 4 . The following tail he began teaching at the school of Werts and Rhea, now known as M. U. S. He taught here for the next twenty-seven vears, and was the most beloved member of the faculty. In 1921 he and Mr. Kilvington started a school of their own, known as Ford-Kilvington. Here he met with the same love and devotion that has followed him during all his years as a teacher. Ford-Kilvington continued four years, and in 1925 combined with M. U. S. to make a larger and better school for boys. In 1925 he came back to M. U. S. as a princi- pal and teacher. He has met with unending success for the past three years, and we hope he will continue with M. U. S. for many more years. C C WRIGHT Charles C. Wright, instructor in Latin, has finished his 22nd year as a teacher at M. U. S. For the past three years he has been a principal and has done much for Al. U. S. He graduated from the University of Virginia with his B. A. degree, and in 1S95 was an instructor at the Leander McCormick Observatory. From 1896 to 1904 he was in- structor in Latin at the University of Virginia, and professor of the same language in the Virginia summer school of Methods from 1903 to 1904. The following fall he became co-principal of the University of Atlanta, and remained there three years. In 1907 he came to M. U. S. and has remained here since as instructor in Latin; his favorite subject. Mr. Wright has met with great success at M. U. S. Besides being an affable and able teacher, Mr. Wright is a great golfer, and chicken fancier. The latter seems to be his main hobby. We feel as though M. U. S. could not get along without Mr. Wright. We know that we will see Mr. Wright here after we have graduated from college, and hope that he will teach our children Latin also.

During Coach ' s absences he has coached baseball and football teams, the last two years he has also coached the Junior beam. During the summers Mr. Beeson takes a group of boys to one of the large camps in the Carolinas where he is one of the directors. MR. SNIDER Joseph P. Snider has been the instructor m French and Spanish for the past two years. Snider is a graduate of the University of Virginia, where he received his B.S. and M A. degrees. From 1923 to 1926 he was the assistant in Romance Languages. In the fall of 2() he rame to M. C. S. as instructor in French and Spanish. While at the University of Vir- ginia he was a student instructor in these languages, lie knows how to teach these subjects, .md always holds the interest of his class. Snider is a great believer in dress, and each day he startles the school with his clothes. He weails the latest styles, and he is immaculate And. by the way, you should see those tan and brown socks. . O, L. STONE Oscar Fee Stone has completed his seventh year at M. U. S.. all of which have been quite successful. He attended the University of Tennessee, and Peabody college. During the war he was in the army, and attended Camp Zachary Taylor. Tor two years he was the principal of the Junior High School, lie was head of the Mathematics Department at the Pearl River County Agricultural High School at Poplarville, Mississippi, for five years. He was also head of mathematics at the Clarksville High School at Clarksville, Tennessee, for two years. He came to M. U. S. in 1921 as math, instructor and in 1924 became asso- ciate principal. He has had charge of the study hall also for about five years. He is quite popular with the boys here, and we wish him continued success as a teacher and an all around good sport. Page I en
