4 ' 9 7 Samuel Lowrey Fugler, B.A. Gloster, Miss. He is short on legs , but long on head wort?. Fugler is one of many in this class who have made friends of everybody. He is quiet, modest, almost retiring, but he possesses those qualities that keep a man on top. He is a close student, and faculty and students say that in every task he has proven faithful. Shrewd, careful, resourceful, bulldogish, he has been called the Elihu Root of the Philo- mathean Society.

i 1 l I I i ' 9 ' 7 James Spencer Deaton, B.A. Clinton, Miss. “ He lives with all his might. ' If hard work and worthy ideals mean anything to a man, Deaton must be reckoned with. He came to Mississippi College as a product of Union County and enrolled in the Freshman Class in the fall of 1912. He is a minister and has had regular church work ever since he came to college, yet he is rec- ognized as one of the best students of his class.

To strive , to seel? , to find, and not to yield. “Puss” will be remembered for years to come at Mississippi College as an athlete. He has helped to bring home many laurels in football and basket- ball. When he sets his head to win a game you may count on him doing his part. As is character- istic of all “Troyians,” he is as true as “Steele,” always playing a clean game’.

Vernon Butler Dickins, B.S. Batesville, Miss. He manipulates his own thinking apparatus, and the other fellow ' s too. Of course everyone calls him Dick, and he is a friend to the humblest and at home with the high- est. He is a descendant of Charles and has classic features, but no one holds that against him. In spite of his society inclinations he is one of the most popular men in college. Dick has decided opinions and is always found with the good crowd.

A i f Charles Mitchell Hardin, B.A. Clinton, Miss. “ None but himself can be his parallel. Charles entered Mississippi College just four years ago, and ever since his entrance he has been climb- ing surely and steadily the ladder that leads to fame. He has taken music at Hillman College for four years, and she can boast of few students as earnest and accomplished as he. His is a past of earnest effort and highest rewards, and may his future be as his past has been. Mississippi College Band, ’14- ' 15; Missis- sippi College Orchestra Pianist, ’16-’17.
