From the finest of that splendid material with which Attala County is so richly blessed, “Jack” came to us in the fall of 1916, a graduate of Kosciusko High School. He left in 1917 to join Uncle Sam’s Navy, but returned in September, 1919, to complete his work. He is a friend of the fellows and a friend of the college, and his record in Mississippi College and her student body is one of influence, — influence always for the right. He is a true Philomathean, and is honored by that Society. He is a splendid mixer, a good thinker, and is always of the same cordial, fine disposition. The Class of ’21 is justly proud that Jack will go down in history as a member of its body. DANIEL MORRISON, B. A Jackson, Miss.

MAX TEL A. GREER, B. S Louisville, Miss . Philomathean ; Varsity Football, ’19-’20; Class Football ’17-18; Louisville, Miss., IT. S. A., claims the honor of having been the birthplace of the subject of this sketch about the beginning of the present century. Since that time he has been struggling for an education. lie graduated at the Louisville High School in ’17 and entered M. C. the following fall and has been here ever since. “Mantee” has ac- quired the knack of making friends and lias used it freely since coming to this place. No one has more friends than he, both among students and faculty. He is quiet, modest and unassuming, yet firm in his stand for the right; he is one of the best athletes in schooj and also possesses a rare bass voice. A typical, whole-souled college man is the opinion held of him by everyone who knows him. He will likely coach some high school football squad to the state championship next year. WILLTAM E.

Graduating from Clarke Memorial, College in 1914, he engaged in high school work for three years. When Fncle Sam sounded the call, “Our Bill, he got right in,” and served for two years in the TTnited States and overseas, finally pushing on into Germany as Second Lieutenant with the Second Division. Answering the call of the Nazarene, he came to us last year, and completed his course at the close of the first semester this session. He is now in the Louisville Seminary, preparing himself for greater usefulness. Page Twenty-eight
