During the World War he “sailed the ocean blue” with Uncle Sams navy. Much of his two years’ navy ' service uas spent with the fleet overseas.

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.

JAMES PORTER NEAL, B. S Quitman , Ik Philoinathean ; Vice-President Y. M. C. A., ’19-’20 ; Member Amer- ican Legion. Porter entered tbe Academy in 1915 and since that time lias been a persistent pui sner of a thorough education. Just as he was completing his Freshman work in 1917. the World War broke out and then for two years he was away serving in the Army. He was commissioned in the Infantry, and later became an aviator. He did his part well and in 1919 returned to finish with the Class of ’21. During the entire college course. Porter has been very busy, but the host of friends which he has, tell of his gentlemanly and courteous conduct at all times. Ilis purpose in life is service and his record in col- lege is an evidence of good possibilities. The Class of ’21 is glad to have such a combi- nation of friendliness, business ability and quiet disposition in one man. Porter expects to spend his life in doing definite Christian work. To do this in the best way lie has neither snared time nor means in equipping himself. Ilis friends, class-mates and fel- JOHN II. NUTT. B. S Enterprise, Miss. Philomath ean ; Class Basket Bali, ’14-’15, ’16-T7 ; Y. M. C. A. Bas- ket Ball, ’16-T7 ; All offices of Philos. John made his first appearance in Clarke County in the later years of the nine- teenth century. He came to Mississippi College as a Freshman in 1914. Very little time and few opportunities were needed for him to prove his superior ability in the class room and to win friends by his striking personality. Nutt is another member of the class who responded to his country’s call, and for more than a year followed Old Glory in the service of the I’. S. Navy. In need of good teachers Clarke County schools have chosen John as principal for three years. Possibly his best work has been with the Enter- prise High School. His record both in school and out is a worthy one. especially the matrimonial record during his Senior year to Miss Inez Allen. Page Thirty-one
