R.ALPH Bridger Sh. rbrough, Hattiesburg, Mississippi. We grant, although he had much wit. He was very sly in using it. Ralph is a genius of the type who knows about everybody ' s business except his own; talks incessantly, and is guaran- teed never to know one second what he is going to do the next; was never known to buy a hook.

After all, he has a brilliant mind, and is capable of good work. B.A.; President L. L. S., ' 08; Humorous Editor BoBASHELA, ' 09; Patriots ' Day Speaker, ' 09; Class Poet, ' 08; Y. M. C. A.; L. L.
