J ' W A o KtruthV ' AND )m i Wl R.T uE£f Our information concerning “Lucy” is rather meagei, as this is his first year with us. However after secur- ing the assistance of Prof. Aven, expert archeologist we have come to the conclusion that he breathed Ins first somewhere in the jungles of Jeff Davis County lhere the gentle breezes whispering thru the stately pines imparted to him a bit of eloquence, which he began to exercise at Prentis High School. From there he went for two sessions to S. P. U. Bill is a man to be proud of, and the class of 13 is wlad to have him as a member. He is a good student, congenial friend, and a persevering athlete Hermenian; Class Football 13; Class Basketball 13 Joe Jefferson Denson, B.A., Bay Springs, Mississippi. Cap ' n Denson , left fielder, J . J-, Is a “bird,” so we’ve heard fellows say, This athletic jay -bird, At the ’S trite, so ice’ve heard, Claims a jewel he’s proud to display. Among the many good men that Bay Springs has sent to M. C., Joe shines as a bright and particular star. Bright in intellect, engaging in manner, smiled upon by the muses, and a natural-born hustler, he has taken a prominent part in every phase of college work, Irom music to athletics, and has won for himself a high p ace in the estimate of his fellows. ni Class Baseball ’OD-’IO; Captain Class Baseball 10- 11; Reserve Baseball ’OO-’IO; ’Varsity Baseball 10-11, ’12, ’12-’13; Class Football ’0!)-’10, ’10-’ll, 11- 12; Art Editor I,’ Allegro ’lO-’ll; Band Leader ’09-’10, 10- Ui President Athletic Association , 11- , 12; Orchestra 1-- 1 • Hermenian.

udtouuu; DODD □□□□lan AruthNv l AND Wl R.T UE O J i£x£t?i,iir Robert A. Dean, Ph.B., Columbia, Mississippi. His room is down at the ’State , — ’Tis well , for he’s awfully cute ; And the girls would all grieve , Should “ liob Robert” leave , — And the fellows all like him, sehr gut. For two years he has been Dean of the firing depart- ment of Hillman College, and Happiness has claimed him as her own. A dancer after your heart, a model of pro- priety, a tonic for the blues, and a gentleman whose friendship and goodwill is esteemed by all. His training for the law in M. C. has been excellent, mothers-in-law take notice, and his ability at the bar has oftentimes been proven. His aim in life is to become as crazy as “Chic,” his bosom friend and fellow jigger. Vice-President Class , 11- , 12; District Attorney Bar Ass’n; President Marion Co. Club; President B. Y. P. U. ’12-’13; Attorney Hermenian Society. Isaac Frederick Dale, Pii.B., Prentis, Mississippi. This fullback’s a star, a go-getter, On the gridiron ice’ve never known better, But ’tis said at the ’State That the hardhearted brute Wouldn’t marry if proposed to by letter. Fred is tbe busiest man in the class. In addition to heavy college work, he finds time to star in both base- ball and football, take an active part in the Hermen ian Society, and go to all the recitals over at Belhaven. Being a thorough student, a good athlete, and a logical and forceful debater, he has won the esteem of the faculty, the admiration of the boys, and the love of the Stute.

ijtrou MEM Howard D. Hollis, Pii.B., Chalybeate, Mississippi. We pass him up in despair — For he’s handsome , indeed, debonair , Hut to look for his brain Would (five you a pain ; — ’Tis rumored the thing isn’t there. Hollis hails from Tippah County, and entered M. C. in the fall of TO, as a Soph, where his ready smile, and happy, generous ways have made him a brother to us all. His “Jet black hair and eyes” have proven his winning card with the fair sex, — and lie’s been a game player, we’ll admit. He has taken an active interest in all college work, and is more than proud of being a Senior. He expects to be an instructor, — maybe a pro- fessor ! who knows ? President B. Y. P. U.; Secretary Philo Society, Y. M. C. A. Cabinet ’13; President Jones House ’12-’13; Vice- President W. O. W. ’12-’13; Vice-President Tippah Co. Club T2-T3. Notwithstanding his pugilistic name, Corbett has no aspirations toward the arena, — at least he has never ex- pressed them. In fact, his ambition seems to turn in an- other and gentler direction, for fair damsels have found favor in his eyes. (Note: we do not say that said fa- vor was reciprocated.) But he is not lacking in the sterner stuff of which men are made, nor in intellec- tual abilitv. He will make good. x Class Football ’ll -’12, ’12-’13; Secretary Yazoo Co. j Club TO-’ll; President Yazoo-Holmes Club ’12-T3; Root- L era’ Club TO-’ll. 4 J.
