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. His brilliancy is rivaled only by his remarkable popularity.

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.

DIAZ T. HOLLIS, B.A Walnut, Miss. Diaz first made his appearance in Tippah County back in the later days of the nineteenth century. After graduating from the High School of his home town, he entered Mississippi College in September, 1914. When he was closing out his Junior year the call to arms came and Hollis was one of the first men to respond to his country’s call, and for two years he fol- lowed Old Glory and did his bit to “Make the world safe for democracy”. He came home from France in July, 1919, and when the session opened that fall Hollis was knocking at the college door, ready to complete his course. Mississippi College has had few better students than Diaz. His record has been one of the best. Hollis is loyal to his college, loyal to his friends and above all, loyal to God. Pres.
