COACH HARRY WEI I FORD, a fine gentleman and a splendid coach is what all that know him. This year he has done his best to make M. U. S come hack into its own and has accomplished much in the realm of football and other .sporty He also coached the only basketball team we have had in many years. They had a successful year. Wt he will he with us next fall when the call for practice is given. J. A. BLESON, Athletic Director, is the title given to our most energetic and capable teacher. But he was more than thai, lie coached in almost every sport of the season to some extent. Taking a major part in baseball, being the only coach of this sport. He helped the team very much and with this year ' s experience should prove to be an upset in prep school circles next fall. ' BICK CAMPBELL, besides directing the gym classes during the past winter in cales- thenics and minor sports, he took a keen interest in all forms of athletics at the school. He is very popular with the boys and would make an exceedingly good baseball coach but his umpiring in the American League prevents this. We hope he will continue to teach and follow the fate of M. U. S. Page Twelve

D. H. FITE D. Harley Fite, instructor in History, Mathematics, and English, has just completed his second year at M. U. S. Mr. Fite received his B.S. degree at the Middle Tennessee State Teachers College, and was the principal of the Middle Tennessee High School, at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, for four years. Then he came to M. U. S. where he has spent two very successful years, teaching history and mathematics, and this last year Junior English. Mr. Fite is a popular teacher with the students, and is interested in the sports and welfare of the school. He has given them careful attention and helped them privately. We wish Mr. Fite all kinds of luck and continual success throughout his career. W. P. JONES Professor W. P. Jones, our devoted teacher as well as a friend and penman excelled by no one, has greatly developed his talent and received training from Flickinger ' s School of Penmanship, Phila- delphia: Palmer ' s School of Penmanship; and the Zanerian Art and Penmanship College of Colum- bus. He was graduated from the De Sollar School of Penmanship, Louisville, Kentucky, developed his literary training from the Southern University, Greensboro, Alabama, where he received his B.A. degree, and was awarded a diploma by the Ben C. Weaver ' s School of Louisville. Mr. Jones ' record and his success earned him three medals in professional penmanship from Maine to California. Of his experience he has: been teaching penmanship for thirty years, twelve of which have been at M. U. S. Many students ' chirography has been greatly improved by his in- structions and assiduous attention. For his deciphering forgeries, he is considered an authority. Indeed M. U. S. is very fortunate in having such a fine penman as an instructor. Mr. Jones used to be a great pitcher on a Mississippi baseball team. He often amused M. U. S. students by telling of the good old times he spent striking out the opposing sides. We hope that Mr. Jones will also have the same success and luck that he has had in the past.
