JOHN OTHO WATKINS, B.S Lena, Miss. Watkins successfully crossed the foot-log from the railroadless County and reached Missis- sippi College in the fall of 1914, coming from the Leake County A. H. S. He has always been a hard worker and has proven his worth to all who have known him. He possesses untiring grit, a will of iron, and always assumes a cheerful attitude, thus naturally he takes well with his comrades. He has always been an ardent supporter of all college activities, doing well any work assigned to him. He has proven without doubt his grit in working his way through A. H. S. and college. When Uncle Sam wanted men for the world’s war he responded and soon landed in France where he remained over a year in the Medical Corps of the Army. Sub-Marshal Hermenian Society, elected Vice-Pres.

ARCHIE VENABLE FARR, B.S Meridian, Miss. Archie came to Mississippi College in the fall of 1917, where he began his work as a member of the Freshman Class. Farr has been an excellent student in all phases of college life and he has made a host of intimate friends. He has shown a keen intellect in the class room, where his ability to think quickly, accurately and clearly has been conspicuous throughout his college course.

EURE, B.S Hattiesburg, Miss. Otho A. Eure, commonly known as “Big Sheep”, the senior member of the Eure brothers, so well known and so popular with the student body, came to Mississippi College in the fall of 1915, beginning his college course as a member of the Freshman Class. Eure has been a good student, a hustling business man, a good friend-maker, a deep thinker, an able debater, and has gained for himself a most enviable reputation while here in college. He has been, first, last, and always, a friend to the boys, in whose hearts he has made an everlasting impres- sion. Eure should feel proud of his college record, and if the past can be made a basis on which to advance a prediction for the future, then be it said that a bountiful treasure of success awaits the brief elapse of time.
