CARTER, J. G., B. S. Jackson, Miss. “A safe companion and an easy friend.” — Pope We call this superb specimen of vigorous manhood, Garvin. He began his lengthy and authoritative inspec- tion of the heavenly bodies in Lawrence County, in the spring of 1886. He recently announced that he had located a very bright and attractive star that is lighting up Texas, and that explains why she is called the “Lone Star State.” Hebron High School gave him his thirst for knowledge. Desiring a deeper draught, he entered M. C. in the autumn of 1905. After vigorous pruning, she is ready to turn him loose on the world again. He is friendly and jovial. You have missed a treat if you have never heard the peal of his merry laughter. Varsity Football, ’08- ’09, ’09-’l0; Pres. B. Y. P. U., ’09. CARTER, J. F., Ph. B. Blue Mountain, Miss. “There can no great smoke arise But there must be some fire.” John F. Carter got, perhaps, his first Intimations of immortality from recollections of early childhood on February 10th, of the ninth of the eighties at Cherry Creek, Miss. Whether or not on that day, The earth and every common sight To him did seem Apparalled in celestial light,” he has at sometime since seen the light of that brighter land and is devot- ing his life to the ministry. His early education was gotten at Cherry Creek, and M. H. A. He entered M. C. as Freshman but is finishing with three years’ work. He is a constant and thorough student and we predict for him great usefulness. Herald Hermenians, ’10; Sec. Theologs, ’07-’08; Pres, and Critic Theologs, ’08-’09; Critic Hermenians, ’09-’10. CRUMP, C. H., B. A. Blue Mountain, Miss. “Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit. — Fielding. The gentleman from Benton! His name is Chas. Howard Crump. Three great things have happened in his career: — First — he was born. This was in 1883, also in October, also in Pine Grove. Second — he fell in love. Chronic, Severe. Third — he got an education and it was attained through such thorough, systematic study, that it made a man of this erst-while barefoot boy — a man that honors his alma mater. First dose — Blue Mountain Male Academy. Second dose — New Albany High School. Third dose — M. H. A. Fourth dose — 1907-’10, at Mississippi College. Pres. Debat- ing Club; Critic Hermenian Society; Vice-Pres. Her- enians; Treas. B. Y. P. U„ ’09. 27

BEDWELL, R. L., Ph. B. Raymond, Miss. “Ambition is no cure for love.” — Pope. At Dry Grove, Miss., Dec. 24th, 1883, an unusual event occured. Santa Claus presented one of his Christ- mas gifts. This gift went by the name of Bob. He has never been very swift in speech, but just the same, will he be winner in life. He came fro m the public schools and entered M. C., Sept., ’01, and remained in school two years; High School Prin. for five years, then reentered M. C. In thirteen months, he made sixty six of the hundred points required for graduation. Class Liar, ’01 -’02; Philo. Librarian, ’02-’03; Philo. Attor- ney, ’08- ’09. BRIDGES, R. W., Ph. B. Jackson, Miss. “Troubles never last forever; The darkest day will pass away.” When God created the heaven and earth and all the animals that exist therein, He did it for a purpose. Bob is an animal, though he was not created until July 15th, 1888, therefore he was created for a purpose, but who can discover it. Jackson and Florence High Schools are responsible for his knowing the alphabet. He entered M. C. in the fall of 06, and has patiently submitted to the polishing for four years.

Athletic Association, ’10. BURFORD, B. L., Ph. B. Coldwater, Miss. “One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning.” Christmas is the happiest day in the year, so “Beau- tiful” decided to present himself as a timely gift, on Dec. 25th, 1888, two miles south of Independence. As a boy he was different from nearly every other one in that he was good looking. He has sustained this envi- able distinction with the passing years. He graduated at Independence High School in 1905, and entered the Freshman Class in Mississippi College in September the same year. He is popular in Clinton, Jackson, on the ball ground, and wherever else he goes. He is one of the best athletes and at the same time a good student. It is not hard for him to star in the Bar Association, although he is not a prospective lawyer.

Clinton, Miss. CHAPMAN, J. A., Ph. B. “If at first you don’t succeed. Try, try again.” The picture you see is only half of Chapman. The other, and better looking half, is not a student of M. C. There is a syllogism whose major premise says: “Years bring wisdom, therefore, Chapman must have wisdom, since he was born in 1874. He has had a very hard struggle to get through school, but had stickability enough to overcome difficulties. Sylvarina High School is due the credit of preparing him for higher work. During his stay in College, he has been, at different times, Sub- Marshall, Secretary, Vice-Pres. and President of the Theological Society. CRAWLEY, C. L., Ph. B. Florence, Miss. “The fear of some divine and supreme powers keeps men in obedience.” — Burton. He came from the King of Mississippi and is a high Rankin man, so ’tis no wonder since of royal birth he became president of his class in his Junior year. Some men tell all they know and say nothing, but Carl says nothing and tells all he knows. The piles were driven for his temple of knowledge at the Florence High School, and in the fall of ’06, the Faculty of Missis- sippi began the superstructure. His highest ambition is to be a ladies’ man. Specialties are ’Stute receptions and sugar cane. The Class, the Faculty, the family, and the girls, are expectin g great things of Carl. Pres. Jun. Class, ’08- ’09; Secretary, Hermenian, ’07-’08. COLLINS, H. C., B. S. Myrtle, Miss. “Time will reveal the man.” — Anon. Everybody take a look! This is “H. Clay” who has spent a great part of this decade in M. C. preparing himself for the office of County Superintendent. He is a natural born politician, having served as Campaign Manager for both factions of the Philos. He is a great chemist and is always chasing “Dutchy” over the Lab- oratory, asking “Doctor, what will this blamed stuff do if I pour it in here.” Collins has taken a very active part in the Y. M. C. A. and other religious work during his college course. He has also shown up well on the athletic field. Delegate Y. M. C. A. Conference, Ruston, La., ’04-’05; Philo. Treas., ’03- ’04; Y. M. C. A. Treas., ’08-’09; Philo. Vice-Pres., ’09-’ 10; Senior Football, ’09-’10; Class Poet, ’08-’09. 28
