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.

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. „ , . , . ,.

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 .

And you never know what He ' s likely to speak up and say. He is one of the most popular men in the class. His latent abilities both for mastering text books and charm- ing the fairest of the fair first made themselves manifest at Hlue Mountain. Having finished at M. H. A., he en- tered Soph at “The Grand Old,” dropping out in Tl-’12 to instruct the youth of the Creole State. The fact that he is finishing three years’ work in two is one of the many evidences of his superior ability as a student. He expects to be an M. D.

R-TUt oJ Judge is an orator, and an upholder of the rights, and avenger of the wrongs of “widow wimmen.” The joys of his college life have been many and he shares them with his friends.

He expects to study law. Class Football ’ll -’12; All-class Football ’ll; Scrub C ’12; Capt. Class Basketball T2-’13; Mgr. Y.
