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.

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.

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.

McCANN, E., B. S., Toomsuba, Miss. ”It ' s the ‘ Little ’ things in life that count.” During that part of the 19th century that the con- stellation Aries was backing up to the constellation Pisces and just about one month before the Summer Solstices,in our largest Mississippi county a young boy opened his baby blue eyes to view the radiant light of the noonday sun. To be more explicit, Ezelle McCann was born May 13, 1883, in Lauderdale County Missis- s »ppi. He attended the Lake Como and Bay Springs High Schools and in the fall of ’06, he entered M. C. Dropped out at the end of his Sophomore year to in- struct the youth of Rankin. It was during his Junior year that he met some one — never mind whom — but since that time he has always had a tender feeling in his heart for anything “Little.” Ezelle is one of the most popular fellows in his Class, not only with the boys, but with the Profs, “Dutchy” and “Zed” especially.

Much study is a weariness of the flesh.” Hark! Listen! What in the world can it be? Oh pshaw! Don t be frightened, it is only Horace. Mac blew in with the East wind during the session of ’07- OS, and has been blowing ever since. He made his first appearance July 30, 1889, near Trenton, Miss., Smith Co. As he grew up, Sullivan ' s Hollow could not hold him, so his parents moved him to Brandon. The characteristic of the McLaurin family has been handed down to Horace — The power to know every face he has ever seen and to make friends. hlte” is his favorite -—Color. Received preparation for college at Brandon High School and Bell-Buckle. Horace intends to study law and we expect soon to see him following in the foot- steps of his Uncle Anse. Chief Police on Athletic field, ’08 to ’ll; Lyceum Committee, ’ 1 0- 1 1 . Montgomery, m. b., b. a. Yazoo City, Miss. Sometimes from her eyes I did receive fair speechless messages.” Malcolm made his debut at Pickens, Miss., June 26, 1891. He laid the foundation of his education at the Pickens High School, finding Pickens too small he moved to Yazoo City in 1899, and graduated from the Yazoo High School in 1908. Entered M. C. in the Fall of 1908, and has taken all the Greek and Latin as P-scribed by Zeus and Ajax, and has seen all the good shows since that time. Is able to quote poetry by the yard, and would have made an eloquent speaker if his time had not been taken up with more important matters at . Jiggitts House. Intends to study law and enter politics with “Reformation of the stage,” as the principal plank in his platform. Secretary Hermenians, ’08-’09; Ath.
