When M. U. S. and F.-K. consolidated three years ago we were extremely fortu- nate in acquiring Bovden Underwood as a student. Boy den has proven himself worthy of all the honors that have been bestowed upon him. I lis greatest successes being done in his work as editor of both The ' Topics and Red and Blue. Underwood ' s hobby is newspapers, and he was the most active member The Topics staff the past year, being always ready to write on any subject, can express himsell well and has an interesting style. We predict a bright luti for him if he takes up writing as a profession. Taking everything together, Boyden is a valuable man around school and departure will leave a vacancy hard to fill. Here ' s luck to you, old boy. 01 le lis MALCOLM DEATON McAULEY— M. U. S. 77-78; Jeffersonian Literary Society ' 27 28. Malcolm started to M. U. S. in his senior year, and he did not have much time to devote to the various organizations of the school. Malcolm lives in Mississippi, and on this account was unable to stay out for football, lie came out for football for a few weeks, but due to the great distance he had to go he had to- stop. McAuley is liked by all the boys of the school and he is a peach of a fellow. lie is also a most conscientious student, and ranks high up in his class. lie takes an active part in his society work, and is an accomplished debater. We all wish Mc the best of luck and suc- cess in his later life, and we know he will succeed in college.

Dabney has been one of the leaders in his class for the past three years. I le came to M. U. S. from Ford-Kilvington three years ago. He has made a fine scholastic record. Up to the past year Dabney has not gone out for athletics on account of his size, but this year Toehold went out for wrestling and turned out to be an accomplished matman. Dabney ' s other weakness is raising chickens, he has some of the finest birds in this neck of the woods. Dabney is a loyal follower of the various sports. You are always able to see him at a game rooting for the old school. He goes to Sewanee next year and we hope he continues his good work. JOHN MYERS— M. U. S. 27-28, Hamiltonian Literary Society ' 27- ' 28, Base- ball ' 28. John came to M. U. S. at the beginning of the fall term. He has become very popular with the boys here. John lives in Mississippi. He turned out for football this year, but due to the distance he had to travel to get home he had to give this up. 1 le exceedingly well in his studies, and M. U. S. is losing a most affable boy. John is a participant in the student ac- tivities and is a steady worker on his les- sons. We wish John had started to schoo here a few years sooner as we know he would have added a great deal to the student life and would have been an asset to the various teams. We all wish John the best of luck at college.
