Luke G. Wallace, B.A., Scobey, Mississippi. He’s pulled the cords over “ 01’ Beck’’ That’s certain , — he ' s sure a red-neck — But he’s smart all the same , And they’ve got him quite tame , But he can still run a scraper , by heck! Luke is a born leader. Level headed, big hearted, and with a six-foot-four build, he has proven himself an en- thusiastic and intelligent supporter of the Blue and Gold at all times and in all things. But it. is not so much what he does as what he makes the other fellows do, that has made him a popular, useful college man. Kind, cour- teous, true, we glory in his record, and remember him as one of Mississippi’s best.

This lad while quite guileless and young Hears his praises continually sung; Should the song die away , I’ve heard fellows say, He’d unlimber his own ready tongue. After having astonished the instructors at Newton High School with the evidences of his precocity, “Chic” decided that the logical place for the further display of his powers was M. C. He arrived in ’00. Dropping out in ’li-’12, he held the position of Chancelor of Pecker- wood Ridge University, but realizing that such exalted positions demand the highest degree of efficiency, lie came back to get dipped at M. C. before faring forth to en- counter the dangers of life. Class Poet, ' 10 1 1 ; Sec’y Y. M. C. A., TO-’ll; Sec’y Newton Co. Club, TO -’ll ; Pres. B. Y. P. U., ’12-T3; Pie .

Shelton Gambuell Posey, B.A., Vivian, Louisiana. A preacher with dignified air, A boy who’s your friend, on the square, A decided brunette, Whom the ladies can’t get — Tho they’ve set for him many a snare. Lawrence County High School and South Mississippi College contributed their part toward shaping this bril- liant chunk of manhood. He entered the Sophomore class at M. C. in ’10 and has made as many friends as any man in school. He possesses all the qualities that con- stitute a perfect gentleman, and has turned his influence toward every good purpose in College work. As a student he is thorough, a speaker logical, a Christian of the highest type, a man with convictions and courage to voice them. Hermanian Pres., Senior Pres., B. Y. P. U. Pres., Choir Leader, Class Football, ’13. £ V W Pat Henry Eager, Jr., Clinton, Mississippi. Mae be it’s this, or Mae be it ' s that , Or it Mae be he’s making a flat, Tho his chances are meager, We know that young Eager Is trying to make her stand Pat. Pat’s education is a side line and he never lets it interfere with his real college activities. As corporal in Dutchie’s Legion he showed great zeal and courage as a soldier. His work in the class-room is much to his credit, however, considering that it was done between times. Dutch and History are his strong points, tho we’ve heard it said that they bored him. Pat is a busi- ness success, and looks with favor upon the commercial world. If he moves to Jackson, as he expects to, he’ll save enough in one year to worthily endow his Alma Mater.

There is a young fellow called Jim , — ’Tis said that this is his whim, To saw on his fiddle, Sing hey-diddle-diddle, And cut both his French and his Chem. Jim probably more nearly approaches the genius than any man in the class. He is a most delightful conver- sationalist, a writer of inimitable light verse, and a man of unusual taste and appreciation. Not only this, but lie has made literally dozens of firm friends thru his thoughtfulness and willingness to do anything in his power to help a fellow. He doesn’t say anything about it, and unless you are a close observer, you might not notice it, but he has done much more than his share toward every good cause that has been undertaken at M. C. during the last four sessions. He is a man for any class to be proud of.

John Green Austin, B.A., Hartford. Alabama. This Senior, tho seeming uncouth, Js a gentle good-natured youth, So dulcet is he Quite tempting he ' d be To a lassie who had a sweet tooth. In spite of the fact that he is a native of Alabama, lie’s a smart man. Therefore, he entered the Prep De- partment of M. C. in ’09. As further proof of his brilliance, he is finishing in four years. By virtue of Jus personality he has won the friendship of both faculty and students, and by virtue of the elegance of his clurog- rnphy, he has been instructor in penmanship since his entrance. „ , . , . ,.
