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. L’Allegro Staff, 10-’ll. 25

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.

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.

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.

LANGFORD, W. R., B. A. Hattiesburg, Miss. “Wise in his own conceit. The melodious voice of “Dick” first silenced the mocking bird in 1891. (The exact date was Feb. 18, and since that time no Rankin County bird has ventured to sing in Feb.) Knowing that he was destined to be- come a prominent physician, “Dick” entered M. C. in ’07. He immediately joined the Philos and during the four years, has never missed a single election. On other than election nights he could be found generally at the theatre in Jaxon, where it is said he had a permanently reserved seat. He is very fond of vegetables and makes a specialty of Crystal Springs “peaches.” Brashears Fiancee, 11; Cor. Secretary Philos, ’07; Secretary Philos, ’09; Glee Club, ’10; Treas. Y. M. C. A., ’10; Vice-Pres. Y. M. C. A., ’11 ; Golf Club, ’10- 11; Pres. Philos, 11; Chief Ed. Mag., ’ll. LASETER, C. I., B. A. Morton, Miss. No really great man ever thought himself so. To do Carl and his merits justice would require a volume, but here we must content ourselves witf a short chapter. On Nov. 5th, 1886, his melodious voice was first heard on his father’s farm in Scott County. He entered M. C. in the fall of ’07 as a Prep., but goes out with the class of ’11, having completed five years work in four, and intends to finish with distinction which speaks volumes for his ability as a student. He has never been known to do but two rash acts in his life, viz — to have grown curly hair for his girl’s sake, and he is said to have roomed with Pete Williams for about three months. Winner of Carder Medal, ’08; Pres. Fresh. Class, ’08-’09; Class Football, ’09- ’1 1 ; First Orator Philos, ’11; Ath. Ed. Magazine, ’10-’11. LEE, P. M., 6. A. Beach, Miss. Try thy eloquence , now ’ tis time. Come one and all and take a look at our baby. “Stuck” is the youngest member of the class, having cooed for the first time on Nov. 14, 1892. Ludlow has been honored by having him spend all his days there. Lee is quite a Stute fiend and seems to have made quite a hit with one of the fair maids. He has been chosen to represent us at the State Contest, and we have absolute confidence in his ability to represent us well. He re- ceived his High School education at Ludlow, after re- ceiving his diploma there he entered M. C. in the Fall of ’08. We expect great things of Percy and know he will make good as a lawyer.
