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. Arm, Miss. “ The world £non s only two , that ' s Rome and . “Guns” first spied the light of dawn on Oct. 23th, 1890. He received his primary training in the Lawer- ence County High School. 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

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

CHADWICK, P. K., B. A. Walnut Grove, Miss. “ Your name is great In mouths of wisest censure. Without reference to an avoirdupois table, one would be of the opinion that “Peck” is just about a full grown man. However, he entered the heavy weight bawling contest only twenty years ago at Walnut Grove in Leake County. Kelly possesses the rare and valuable art of making friends. He never meets a stranger, and at first acquaintance, he seems an old friend. His ex- cellent business qualities have been fully demonstrated to all his fellows by his continual and untiring service on the Annual Staff for the past two years. Whatever he undertakes is a success and we believe this is an index to his future, so here’s to him. Vice-Pres. Hermenians, ’09; Sec’t. Herm. ’10; Critic, lO-’l 1 ; Treas. Athletic Ass’n, ’10-’! 1; Business Mgr. L’Allegro, ’09- ’10; Editor-in-Chief L’Allegro, ’10-’ll. Roomed at Prof. Wallace, ’07-’08. COLLIER, J. A., Ph. B. Leland, Miss. ” Wise to resolve and patient to perform .” He is from the Delta and as the Delta is the Garden Spot of the State, it is well represented by J. “Spit” Collier. The cooing from his babyish lips was first heard June 19, 1890, and ever since he has been whispering sweet nothings into the ears of the fair de- moiselles. He graduated from Leland High School, at- tended Brannom Hughes one year, came to M. C. in 07, and has taken an active part in every phase of col- lege life. John is a fine student, one of our best ath- letes, and is liked by both students and faculty. He has chosen business for his profession and we predict great things for him along that line.

The fickleness of the women I love is only equalled by the infernal constancy of the Women who love me. Of Pontotoc County and Pontotoc Town we have all heard, for out of the wilderness came Bill Stegall, an orator of renown and Bob Cooper, a heart-smasher of world wide fame. This Bob-white did his first whistling on the 5th of Aug., 1889. Pototoc High School gave him his first conception of what an education should be, for after graduating there he decided that M. C. was the place for him. He first trod Clinton soil in ’06. Tiring of dull Clinton, as he termed it, he sought the higher society circles of Washington, D. C. during the summer of 10. The girls claim from his conversation and ac- tions that he is much improved. Soph. Football, ’06-’07; Mag. Staff, ’09- ’10; An- nual Staff, 10- 11 ; Assistant Cashier Bank of Clinton, 10-’11 ; Secretary Sunday School, ’06-’11. Consult him for the remainder. 23
