Ecru, Miss. BLACK, E. B., B. A. “Sap over again and yet once again that thou dost love me.” “Ebony” B. Black, the subject of this sketch, was born among the postoak runners of Pontotoc County. Black is very affectionate and spends many early morn- ings on the McRaven pike. His rural training was sup- plemented by three years at the Ecru High School. He came to M. C. in ’07, and though he has had many “ups and downs,” he will carry away a diploma with his class. We congratulate Mr. Black for his tenacity, and both wish and predict for him a successful career after finishing his course at the Theological Seminary. Pres. Theolog’s, ’09-’10; Treas. Philo’s, . ’08-’09; Originator and President of Bachelors Club, 09- 10. BLANKENSHIP, C., Ph. B. Bay Springs, Miss. “ ’d sleep another hundred years. Oh, Love for such another kiss.” He didn’t come here on a street car or in a machine, but arrived in Clinton, we won’t say how, in the Fall of ’08. Lake Como, Miss., produced this lad in the early part of 1888, and he has been doing things ever since. His success in doing people made him a little rash, for once he tried to do the Faculty, but failed ignommiously. Ask him. Bay Springs High School put him on the upward road, and he has been climbing “very assidously” to reach the last round of the ladder. “Blank has been one of our stars in athletics, since here he has been and made a record never excelled by any one. ’Varsity Football, ’08-’09-’10; ’Varsity Baseball, ’09-’10-’ll; Track, ’ 1 0-’ 11; Winner of Athletic Medal, 09-’10; Orchestra and Band, 10- 11. BLASSINGAME, C. D., Ph. B. Baldwyn, Miss. “ dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none.” We are not absolutely certain as to all the reasons why December 22 is the shortest day in the year, and that darkness comes over us earlier on that day than any other day, however, “Dynamite was born on tnat day and we care to enquire no further. We shall remember him as a fearless fighter in support of his convictions of truth. Early school training, Tippah Public Schools and Chalybeate Springs High School: Taught three years; Entered M.

BARBER, I. I., Ph. B. Gulfport, Miss. 7 have no other fish to fry.” “I key,” the American Jew, was born in Meridian, April 22, 1888. He began molding his noble character in the High Schools of Meridian, Hickory and Gulf- port, Miss. His record at M. C. has been “without spot or wrinkle.” In athletics he is a wonder, baseball is his choice of all sports, and in the center garden as a regular for seasons ’07, ’10, and ’ll, he made a “rep” that has never been surpassed. His boisterous laugh and well known whistle have revealed to all the boys his disposition. Although “Ikey” is still undecided in regard to his life’s work, we predict for him a bright and use- ful future in whatever walk of life he enters, and espe- cially if he decides to train the minds of the turbulent youth. BEARD, W. L., Ph. B. Holmesville, Miss. Inflamed xvith study of learning and love of virtue .” As a matter of fact, “Whiskers” began to have his fun” shortly after May 10, 1890. And as he grew older, his love for amusement became so intense that at last nothing less than the theatre could entertain him. But he went to one too many! And on March 31st, he went on probation for sixty-three days. This though marks the turning point with “Whiskers,” and since, he Has taken a more serious and manly view of life. That he is the most lovable fellow in the class is sactioned by all the ladies. They say “to know him is to love him. Lee has made one of the best Art Editors L Allegro has ever had. And this we contribute to his double course in Art at Hillman, last year. He is all business and we predict for him a great success in the commercial world.

BERRY, J. H., B. S. Blue Mountain, Miss. Counts his sure gains and hurries back f° r more” Judge,” as he is called by the boys, first saw the light of day January 3rd, 1889, at Blue Mt., Miss. He was sent to Miss. Heights in order that he might be pre- pared to enter M. C., which he did in 07. Stetson University was honored with his presence in 1908-09. During the summer of 1909, he attended University of Chicago. In September of that year, he re-entered M. C. as a Junior, where he received a hearty welcome at the hands of his former class-mates. He has chosen business as his profession, and we feel safe in predicting that no man in the Senior class will make a greater success in the business world than Joel H. Berry.

BRAND, T., B. A. Newton, Miss. ‘ Teach not thy lips such scorn for they were made for pissing, lady, not for such contempt .” Having sat at the feet of our Pedgogue Prof, and be- come very learned in his art, “Doubting” Thomas went out this year to instruct the rising generation of his fel- lowman. To become a more desirable Prof., he at- tended a Normal last Summer, where he distinguished himself as an amateur suitor. His luxurious hair is greatly admired by all who see him. Altho’ he has spent the greater part of this session as Prin. of Dent- ville High School, he will receive his diploma with his class in June. He finishes with a record of thorough work and has the friendship of the entire College. Vice-Pres. Philo, ’09-’10; Pres. B. Y. P. U.; Moni- tor Sec. No. 9 at Chapel, ’08-’10; Sub. ’Varsity Basketball, 09-10. BURKE, W. S., B. S. Clinton, Miss. He is well paid that is well satisfied We attribute the elderly looks of Wiley Spain to trouble and hard work (?) rather than old age, for he saw light the first time in Natchez only twenty-two years ago next June. Before coming to M. C., he attended the Natchez Institute and the Cathedral School. In ’06 he entered M. C. as a “Prep. ” Since then he has been a faithful student, doing excellent work and most especially so in Math. During his career as a lower classman, he never seemed to ca v e much for the fair sex, but with his full consent a most skilled and beautiful “Roper” has at last lassoed him. He expects to be a Civil Engineer. Senior Football, ’lO-’ll; Member of the Sky- scrapers Club, ’ 1 0- ’ 1 I ; Sub. Marshal Philo’s, ’07-’08- ’09-’10’-l 1. BURKE, A. A., Ph. B. Clinton, Miss. And when a lady ' s in the case, you will £non all other things give place. This little Xmas present was two days late in arriv- ing, making his first appearance on Dec. 27, 1890, at Natchez, Adams Co., Miss. He got his early training at the Natchez Institute, and came to M. C., ’06, to get the finishing touch. A”2 is small in stature and doesn’t have much to say, but when he condescends to give his opinion, it is well worth listening to. He hasn’t yet de- cided what he will do in the future, but we are sure that whatever he undertakes he will make of it a great suc- cess. From the present outlook he is likely to have a fair partner to cheer him along the rugged road of life. He joined the Philos soon after reaching College, and has been a good worker ever since. 21
