Vicksburg, Miss. DANA, H. E., B. A. “O ye Cods Render me worthy of this noble wife. This man’s name was written among the immortals when he made his Chapel speech on ‘‘Raising sheep without skins.” A thorough student, a Christian gentle- fan, an able preacher are some of his qualities. Early school training was obtained in Warren County Public Schools. Entered M. C., ’06; Soph. Poet, ’07-08; Won Lackey Medal, ’07; Historian Jr. Class, ’08-’09; Chief Editor Mag., ’08-’09; Married; Special distinction. FRANKS, J. D., B. A. Wheelers, Miss. “ The heart to conceive , the understanding to direct or the hand to execute . Mr. Franks was born near Geeville, Miss., April 16, 1884. He attended the public schools of his community after which he taught three years. He entered Union University, Jackson, Tenn., where he made an admirable record, remaining at this institution through his Freshman year. The remainder of his college course he took at M. C. His college friends will remember him as a thorough student, eloquent speaker, logical debater, virile writer and a courtly yet unassuming gentleman. Historian Soph. Class, 09; Fall Orator Philo Society, ’09; Junior Poet, ’09; Delegate Students’ Volunteer Movement, Rochester, N. Y., ’10; Senior Poet, ’10-’ll; Pres. Philo Society, ’lO-’ll.

This is Bro. Hamilton’s second time to appear in the Annual as an Alumnus, but this time he takes a B. A. degree instead of “Pat Henry’s Best” (Ph. B.). We are glad to have him claim ’ll as his class instead of ’10, for we know that he will do the class no little credit in the profession he has chosen. Hamilton has given meals on the campus for four years and the boys say that there are n ne better in town. He expects to pre- pare himself better for his work at Louisville when he has completed his work here. We expect great things of him and know from his past record that we will not be disappointed in him. Entered M. C. in ’04; Second Orator Thelogs, 09; Sec.-Treas. Senior Class, ’09-’10; Hermenian. ► 24

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

HARDY, R. R., Ph. B. Clinton, Miss. “The law : It has honored us, may we honor it. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Mr. Hardy — Come one and all and take a look at him. He entered M. C. in 06 and has been making quite a record since. We feel proud of him, and justly so as he is mayor of the town. He is a great politician as all Philos will tell you, and we feel sure he will make a success in life as a lawyer. It has been rumored that his better 9 10 in- duced him to obtain a college education. He never at- tended a High School and had been out of the public schools quite a while before entering here. Treas. Philos, ’07-’08; Att’y Philos, ’07-’08; Pres. Philos, ’09-’ 10, ’10-’ll; Anniversarian Philos, ’lO-’ll. Mayor of Clinton. HARTZOG, C. R., Ph. B. Coral, Miss. 7 murmur not even though my heart should breal [. He hails from Coral and his name is “Cut Rate. The March wind blew Chas. in on the 17th, 1889. His preparation, prior to his entrance in M. C., was given him by Lawerence Co. High School. He came here in 07 and has made good use of his time since he entered. Cut Rate” is a good alround fellow and has done much for M. C., both on the Football and Baseball fields for two years. We are going to expect much of him in whatever line of work he undertakes. ’Varsity Football, ’09-’10, ’10-’l 1 ; Baseball, ’09-’10- 11; Vice-Pres. Ath. Association, ’09-’10; Class Foot- ball, ’07-’09; Mgr. Class Football, ’09-70; Mgr. Varsity Football, ’09-’10. « KIRKLAND, S. B., Ph. B. Quitman, Miss. “ Thou foster child of silence and slow Time. Whether Stuart began to show his surprising intel- lectual acumen as early as Dec. 12, 1889, or not, the record does not show, but we at present have the fact be- fore us. Quitman High School ought to be proud of Kirk,” for he is one of the brightest and best students in his class. He came here in 1906 and was out 09 and 10, but came back this year and goes out with a fine record. He is quiet and reserved, but has the genuine qualities that go to make up a man. He expects to go in business next year, and we feel that the business world will be made better by having a man like this enter it. There is a little rumor scattered around that there is a fair maiden that Stuart day-dreams about, and we fear that it will not be long after June before it will be Mr. and Mrs., instead of S. B.
