SIMMONS, M. M„ B. S. Lake, Miss. And still be doing, never done.” Lakes bring forth fish, frogs, and snakes as a general rule, but one time in Sept. 1891, a Lake produced some- thing more. It was “Punch.” He acquired much learn- ing at Lake High School before coming to M. C. Like Zed., he likes Math, and is destined to become a great civil engineer. He has an affectionate disposition, but was never able to win the esteem and confidence of the ladies that his “Sporty” brother has had for ages. It has been intimated by some that a good farmer was ruined when he came to college, nevertheless, we believe all will come out good in the end.” Hermenien Sub- Marshall, 09-’10; Leight Weight Football, 09; Roomed at Vells House. SIMMONS, S. M., B. S. Lake, Miss. Comparisons do oft times great grievances.” The old saving that you can never tell what a day will bring forth was recorded as a fact on May 16, 1890, when Stanley Simmons alias “Fool,” came forth to bless the world. Although his appellation is “fool” he is by no means what is commonly meant by the term, quite the opposite and is known to all by the extreme friendliness of his nature and the congenial make up of his personality. After several hard and laborous years of toiling in the Lake High School and after encounter- ing many severe storms on that ocean, which is known as ‘the Lover’s sea,” he entered M. C. The improve- ment has been great. His tastes have been elevated from the pleasure of observing chickens catch earth worms to observing the modern drama of the day.

Hazlehurst, Miss. ne er have felt the I(iss of love , or maiden s hand in mine.” When the wise men of Copiah County were searching the December’s heavens to see whether the potatoes should be planted in March or April, they noticed an unusual commotion among the stars. This was due to the birth of a child who was named Charles. Zacchaeus II first opened his baby eyes at Hazlehurst, Miss., Dec. 22nd, 1 885 — the shortest day of the year, which ac- counts for his being so short in stature. Now the baby grew wise in his own sight, so it was thought best to send him to the Crystal Springs High School where he graduated with first honors. Then he came to Miss. College where he has remained three years, completing the B. A. course with fifteen points extra, and graduates with distinction. Fie is considered M. C’s. greatest benefactor, having introduced the hook-worm treatment. Member Brass Band; VicePres. Philos, ’ll; Mas- . en ' °!i Football Team, ’ll; Local Ed. Magazine, 0- 11. Stute Fiend.

Durant, Miss. RUSSELL, R. H., B. A. “ A Christian is the highest type of man. Mr. Russell was a roommate of T. J. Latimer during his Junior year, and has been closely associated with him during his Senior. We are a part of all we meet. Whether he received his inspiration from Jeff or whether he has been the source of Jeff’s inspiration, is too great a problem to discuss in this space. His early school training was gotten at Yazoo City, and later he finished at Durant High School. Entered M. C. in ’06, but was out during session of 08 and 09. He graduates in June with a good record. Will devote his life to the ministry. Vice-Pres. B. Y. P. U., ’06-’07 ; Historian Junior Class, ’07-’08; Critic Hermenians, ’07-’08; Pres. Thelogs, ’07- ’08; ’09-’10. SEAB, W. C., Ph. B. Roxie, Miss. “A p strength is as the strength of ten , because my heart is pure.” Although “See-Ab” has golden hair and blue eyes which show at once that he is of German decent, never- theless his “moral character’’ is of the finest type. Franklin County produced this delusion Aug. 18, 1891, and a follower of “Franklin’s” he has been ever since. The Roxie and Little Sprirtgs High Schools equipped him for college. He entered M. C. in 07 and will be ready to battle with the weighty problems of life after May 31. Tennis Team, ’08-’09; Mag.

SHOEMAKER, W. J., B. A. Bay Springs, Miss. “O manners gentle , of affections mild. Two important events are recorded in Mississippi His- tory as having taken place on Nov. 2, 1875. The Democrats were victorious for the first time since the Civil War and W. J. Shoemaker was born. He at- tended the Public Schools and began teaching in 1896. The voters of Jasper County elected him County Super- intendent of Education in 1903. He took great pride in visiting his schools and most especially the one in which an attractive Blue Mountain girl. Miss Fannie Cook was teacher and not at all strange to say they were married long before his term as Supt. had expired. He taught one year in Bay Springs High School and was a dignified Prof, at Clark Memorial. He entered M. C. as Soph., ’09, and has done three year’s work in two. He believes he can serve humanity best as teacher. Pres. Hermenians, 11; Married Mens Club; Sec. State Normal Summer, ’10; Nick-named Bro. Shoe- Breaker. 30

STUART, R. E., B. A. Newton, Miss. “ The world knows nothing of its greatest men. Feb. 5, 1886, at Pulaski, Miss., it was heralded abroad that the misterous citizen, Robt. Ealie Stuart, had established headquarters with the Stuart family. This being a rainy year the youngster began at once to grow upwards, reaching past the six foot mark before ma- turity. The early years of his school life were spent in the Pulaski High School, and notwithstanding his bash- fulness in the presence of the fair sex, during the early years of his life, he was attacked by the disease called love, without which he declares he could not live. Stuart entered Millsaps College in Sept., ’07, remaining there two years. Dropped out in 09 and 1 0 and taught. Then the Fates directed him to the classic town of Clinton. He is a good student and graduates with distinction. Expects to devote his life to teaching. Philo.; Pres. B. Y. P. U., ’10-’1 1 ; Senior Football, •10-MI. SMITH, H., Ph. B. Clinton, Miss. “ The deed intend is great , but what as yet £non not. Smith, Herman was born at Poplarville, Miss., Oct. 1890, and since that memorable day he has earnestly and assidously sought for knowledge in books and other- wise. Entered M. C. as Senior Prep, when twelve years old, but dropped out three years. During the time he has attended he has acquired an astonishing amount of French, German and Bible. Now he is able to con- verse with the fair haired Dutch and the dark skinned Frenchman, and even argues with Dr. Sproles on Bibli- cal questions. His only known weakness is to use as many big words as possible, and he is now running Prof. Wallace a close second in trying to use an entire “Web- ster” all the time. Is seriously contemplating going to the Foreign field. ’Varsity Football, 07-08, 10- 11 ; Tennis Team, ' 07 - ' 08; Mgr. Senior Football, ’10-’1 1 ; Mgr. Senior Baseball, ’10- 11. STANDIFER, L. C., B. S. Clinton, Miss. Faith, that ' s as well said as if had said it myself. “Shack’ has been a shining light in college circles since birth, being born in Oxford, Miss., Sept. 27, 1889. He attended the schools of that place and graduated in 1905. Moving to Gufport he took a very active part in the management of the G. S. I. Railroad, working in the accounting department until 1908 when he en- tered M. C., as Freshman. During the three years he has been in college he has completed the four year’s course and will graaudte with distinction, a full-fledged B. S. man. Moreover, he is greatly addicted to Math, and the love he has for Zed is something almost divine. He expects to be a Civil Engineer, but before settling down to his life’s work he has a burning desire to man- age the “Cubs,” at least one year.
