□□□□ □□□□ Wiley William Bbasiiears, Jr., B.A., Gunnison, Mississippi. The boys call this gentleman Bray” Which name is upheld by his way , For he talks a whole lot. 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.

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

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.

This tall handsome Senior named Sam Deems all “icimmin” a fake and a sham, One ' ll get him tho yet , — Some severe suffragette, And she ' ll shut him up, like a clam. If hard, honest work will get a man there, Sam is going to be in the front ranks. He’s not afraid of any- thing, man or beast, Math or German. He knows where he stands, and if you don’t watch, he’ll have a whole lot of other fellows standing with him. And he always stands right. His judgment is keen, and his ability to enforce decision is unusual. Never-the-less, he is veiy modest and a friend to everybody. He’s a strong man anv wav you take him. ' President B. Y. P.
