V -n teg gLrfErg r J a Senior History T HE present Senior class has been distinguished from the first not so much by the quantity but by the quality of her men. Although we had the largest class in the history of the college our first year some have fallen by the way- side, for the pace at which we have been traveling has been fast indeed. Professor Wallace long ago gave up the effort to assign a longer history lesson than we could possibly get. There are thirty-five stalwart men who will receive their sheepskins this year and go out into the world and win fame for themselves and to bring glory on their Alma Mater. This class has furnished men to take the lead in every phase of college life, whether on the athletic field, in the Y. M. C. A. work, or in a debating contest, the men of the class of ’16 have proven themselves equal to the test. A man from our class won the State Oratorical contest, and we have had men on all the Varsity teams since our first year. This class of ’16 won two football championships, and has never lost a tract meet contest. If we can in any way predict the future by the past, the Class Prophet will in- deed paint for your eyes a glorious picture of success. 25

O F. G. ANDERSON, B.S. . . . Sparta, Tenn. “I haven t time to get tired. This Spartan came among us three years ago from the Volunteer state, and in every phase of College life he has proven himself to be truly a “Spartan.” He loves a fight and is a natural leader. He is the best all round athlete we have ever had, being the first to carry the “pigskin” across the A. M. and “Ole Miss” goal lines. In the class room he is also one of the best and has gained the esteem of the faculty and the adminira- tion of the student body, as an athlete, a student and a gentleman. Member of the L’Allegro Staff; Member of all Varsity Teams; Twice Captain of the Football Team; Chief Editor of Class Magazine; President of Class Junior Year; Member of Hermenian So- ciety; Distinction. W. E. ALLEN, B.A Amory, Miss. “A proper man as one can see on a summer day. Allen, better known as “Runt,” was born at Amory, Monroe county, Mississippi, in 1892. He is one of the best students of the Senior Class. He is a poet of no mean alibity, being class poet twice for his classes. “Runt” is good natured, big heart- ed, very quiet and is always found on the right side of every debatable question. He has many friends among both faculty and students. Taking all into consideration it is evident that the Class of ’16 will some day point “Runt” out to the world with great pride and pleasure. Junior and Senior Poet; Art Editor L’Allegro, ’14, ’15; Literary Editor L’Allegrc, ’15, ’16. C. W. BECK, B.S Ruleville, Miss. “I dare do all that becomes a man . he vu 10 dares do more is none. The class in which we finish is the best one and surely the class is not better than the individuals that compose it. For four long years Charley has labored with us, and during this time we have al- ways found him standing and fighting for honesty and integrity, right and virtue. No one in our flock possesses more the spirit of unselfishness than Charley. As a student we are proud of Beck, for he is of that dig, dig type. He hails from the Delta, and surely his life is a good example of the covered garden spot. Rich of character, a good produced of things, dear to all of his friends and especially admired by the ladies, he goes to Yale to further his litreary course. The best wishes of the Class of ’16 go with him. 26
