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

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.

CAIN, J. I., Ph. B. McCalls, Miss. W l now and then struck smartly shows a spark-’ “James Isaiah, ’ as he is familiarly called by the boys, was first heard of at McCalls, Miss., Franklin Co. Cain has been with us for five years which speaks much for his tenacity and steadiness of purpose. To say the least of him, he has made good with the boys and many say that he is a counsellor for several Seniors in their love affairs. He has won world wide renown as a radical in Philo politics and as a Vardaman supporter. He has chosen as his life work the practice of medicine — and we hereby give notice to the public — Capt. Soph. Baseball ; Winner of championship Ten- nis in singles, ’08-’10; Winner of doubles in Tennis, Mgr. Tennis, ’lO-’ll. CAUSEY, O. D. B., Ph. B. Buckatuna, Miss. “An honest man , close buttoned to the chin , Broadcloth without , and a warm heart within .” The fact that “Alphabet” was Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in ’04-’05; served the Hermenian Society as At- torney, President and Anniversarian in 10-’ 1 1 ; and has been a tireless worker in the B. Y. P. U. as President or member of responsible committees, is an evidence of the high estimate that his fellow students place upon him as student, orator and man. The source of his information outside M. C. has been V ashington Co., Ala., where he was born June 3, 1880. He attended the public schools of his County and the Ga.-Ala. Business Col- lege before coming to M. C. in 03. Since his first en- trance here, he has spent several years in the business world. CANNON, J. W., Ph. B.

In 1906 he entered M. C. to prepare for higher attainments in life. Jno. was out one year, but returned determined to finish his course and go out, with a good class. Jno. is an all round ath- lete, having made the Basketball and Track teams, ’ 1 0- 11, also being a worthy combatant for a place on the pitching staff of the ’Varsity Baseball team. John is made of good stuff and we predict nothing but success for him in the future. ’Varsity Football, ’10-’11; ’Varsity Basketball, ’10- ’11; Scrub Baseball, ’ll; Track Team, 10- 11. 22
