His devotion to the “Stute” has been marked with frequent avowals of the most passionate love. Hemeter’s brilliant record in College is a fair prediction of his suc- cess in life.

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.

C. E. JOHNSTON, B.S Purvis, Miss. “ A friend to everybody, and everyobdy’s friend Carr was born at Eureka, Tex., twenty-one years ago. He came to Mississippi and grew among the pines and pine rooters. Early he learned the lesson of “root hog or die,” and after graduating at the Hattisburgh High School in ’n, he worked one year before beginning his further education. He entered Mississippi College in ’12, and with this energetic, “rooting” spirit he has worked his way through college. Carr is a success unassuming and businesslike. He has a big honest heart and a bright mind. Success awaits him in the business world. Literary Editor L’Allegro, ’i3-’i4, Two Years Private Secretary and President of College, and One Year College Registrar. A. S. JOHNSTON, B.S Gloster, Miss. “Trust neds no flower of Speech ” — Pope. No, gentle reader, “Pap” is not that great general who inhabits Our American History Books, but he is an assured success. Enthusiastic, entirely unselfish and unassuming in manner, he has forged to the front in almost every department of college life. He is a recognized leader in stu- dent affairs and in literary society work, a champion orator and a veteran worker on our Annual Staff. Withal, last year he found time to marry, which achievement proves him both lucky and wise. His business is doing good, in general, and preaching in particular. Innumerable years ago, “Sidney” began this fascinating pursuit of a diploma, and now, that he is numbered among the elect, he will go into a life of usefulness, re- flecting great honor on his Alma Mater.

J. M. JONES, B.S Pattison, Miss. “Safety First ” Mack is one of Claiborne county’s products. He received his early training in Beech Grove High School before coming to Mississippi College in the fall of ’12. He has been the only representative from his county during the four years he has been in college. But this is no evidence that his county has been well represented, and that it will not feel proud of him in the future, because he is inclined to be a real success regardless of the price. He names “Hearts” trumps in the game of love if he doesn’t hold but “one.” Class Baseball, ’i2-’i4; Varsity Baseball, ’i3 ’i6; Reserve Football, ’i4-’i5; Class Football , i4- , i6; Philomathean. 30
