ASHLEY, J. T., B. S. Mendenhall, Miss. “But to see her, was to love her, love but her, and her forever.” We have here, ladies and gentlemen, a sample of Simpson County product; a quiet amiable fellow and possessed of discriminative ability. Tom, as he thinks, discriminated the fairest maiden in Hillman and set about at once to win the creature, and judging from his account of the affair, he has unquestionably made good. Tom entered college in the fall of ’04, but after finish- ing Sophomore, dropped out a couple of years to teach school. He reentered in the fall of ’09 to finish his degree with the class of ’10. He is an earnest ha d worker and is worthy of the high esteem in which he is regarded by all who know him. Sec. Hermenians, ’08-’09; Pres. Hermenians, ’09-’10; Bus. Mgr. Mag., ’09-10; Hermenian Third Orator, ’09-’10; Pres. Scribes, ’10. BACKSTROM, J. L., B. A. Richton, Miss. “What shall I do to be forever known, And make the age to come my own.’’ We suppose it was his purpose to be just one day ahead of the Father of Our Country for it was Feb- ruary 21st, 1886, when Lawrence made known his rights at Richton. The years between the date of his birth and school days at Poplarville were years of obscurity ex- cept to those of his family and immediate vicinity who saw in him great possibilities. He graduated at Poplar- ville High School in 1906, and entered M. C., as a Soph, the following September. After staying out one year to teach, he reentered College and now has “A diploma hanging on the wall.” He stands for what is right in all student organizations, and may be counted on to do his duty always. He is called the best debater in College (?). He was sorry he could not enter the race against Vardaman for the debate in the recent contest. Jun. Football, ’08-’09; Vice-Pres. Hermenians, ’03-’09; Magazine Staff, ’09-’10; Pres. Hermenians, ’10. BUCHANNAN, J. H., Ph. B. Blue Mountain, Miss. “His hair just grizzled as in green old age. — Dryden. This stalwart brawny specimen of humanity entered this life at Blue Mountain nearly a quarter of a cen- tury ago. He first tried out for his mental improvement in Blue Mountain Male Academy. Having finished there, he entered the Sophomore class of Mississippi Col- lege, ’06, but remained out one year. His career in college has been a most peculiar one. Although his ex- perience with a little hatchet wasn’t exactly like George Washington’s, when he becomes a great man like George, it will be told of him. “John Buck” is a man that has delivered the goods. He is one of the strongest Hermenian debaters and was star fullback on the Varsity eleven, ’09. Varsity Basketball, ’07-’08, ’09- ’10; Varsity Football, ’07- 08, ’09-’10; Class Football, ’07-’08, ’09-’10; Class Baseball, ’07-’08; Manager Varsity Basketball, ’09-’10; Hermenian Second Orator, ’10; Hermenian Editor-in-Chief Elect, ’08-’09. 25
