Brame began his journey on the broad and end- less road of experience. He made him first offer- ing to win the favor of the Godess of wisdom in Macon High School by placing on the Sacrificial Altar finished tasks. We know that he won her fancy for he finished high school and came to Mississippi College in the fall of ’10, with the desire and ambition to make for himself a great name. His energetic and aggressive nature led him to take part in every phase of college life. His vision for a great name and political fame before the one which the Master showed him, of fields white unto the harvest and laborers few. He goes from Mississippi College to work for God. Soph. Football Team, ’10; Soph. Basketball, ’11; Secretary and President of Philomathean Society, ’u-’i3; Vice-President Bar Association, ’14. W. B. COLTER, B.S. . . Blue Mountain, Miss. “You cannot keep a good man down, he’ll smile and climb to the top.” Colter’s training consists of a few years in the public school, three years in the Mississippi Heights Academy and four in Mississippi Col- lege. His career; boyhood on the farm, a preacher since seventeen years of age, an alert student, working his own way through school, active religious leader and glorious Hermenian. In view of his zeal for the cause, his popularity and pleasing disposition, we predict for him marked success. Expectations: a diploma, an early wedding, a record second to Billy Sumday’s and authorship of “Manifest appreciations of the doctrines of elections.” W. S. GEORGE, B.S. . . . Silver Creek, Miss. “Have a purpose in all that you do.” Sam was born Nov. 8, 1893, and began his search for knowledge in the public schools of Lawrence county. But as his power absorbing knowledge was very great, he decided to try Lawrence County High School, situated at Silver Creek, and see if he could quench his thirst for knowledge. Sam completed the High School work in 1912, and had the distinction of being the only boy in the graduating class. He entered M.C. in the fall of 1912, and at once gained recognition by his calm logic and eloquence. He is a good stu- dent and a brilliant speaker. We predict from him unbounded success in his chosen profession ot law. Freshman Debating Team ’13; Hermenian Mar- shal, ’13; Pres. Lawrence County Club, ’13; Pre . Sophomore Class, ’14; Secy.

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

W. A. GREEN, B.S McLain, Miss. It is I, be not afraid” Green entered here after graduating at Missis- sippi Heights in ’13. No doubt the histo ry of many an athletic victory has been due to Green’s in- fluence as cheer leader. We predict for him no less success in his chosen profession of law. He is ambitious and energetic, yet is far from his policy to seek undue honors. He was elected President of the Athletic Association for the year ’i5-’i6, but on account of heavy class work, resigned. “Slick” is loved and respected by all who know him and we say without doubt that he has won by his straight forward ever trod the campus of Mississippi College.
