CLY DE MORTON JONES, B.A Blue Mountain, Miss. Jones came to us in the fall of 1917 and entered the Sophomore Class. He has been a good student and owing to his manner of concentration he has won for himself a place at the head of many of his classes. He has a way of sticking to every task he undertakes and he does his work thoroughly. “Heart Breaker”, as he is generally known, finished his course at Mississippi Heights, where he made a good record. We have only to say, “Watch him”. He will succeed. Sophomore Medal, ’17; Critic Hermenian Society, Marshal Hermenians, Sub-Marshal Her- menians. JOHN M. KING, B.S Shannon, Miss. “Baby John”, the subject of this sketch, w r as born in Jasper, Ala. He lives now in Shannon, Miss. “Baby” entered Mississippi College in September, 1914. Soon after he made his appearance on the campus he was known and loved by all. His genial nature and happy smile have won for him lots of friends w T herever he goes. In spite of the fact that much of his time has been taken up in athletics he has always stood well as a student. He has helped in a remarkable w r av in putting Mississippi College on the map in athletics. King is another of Mississippi College’s brave sons who early responded to humanity’s call. He enlisted as a private soldier and was discharged as a Lieutenant. A splendid student, a remarkable athlete, and a good man. We predict great things for him.

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.
