Farewell The The cedars sigh on every highland height, The willows weep oni every lowland plain; The raven of farewell comes with the night — And memory, dear, steals o’er our hearts again. In memory’s storehouse shall we ever keep That great devotion Alma Mater gave. They are the tools of time, the jewels sweet, That follow ever on, e’en to the grave. ’Tis sad to know’ that faithful friends must part, Yet in each parting comes a stronger tie That binds us hand in hand and heart in heart, Cementing love forever with a sigh. So fare thee well, O Alma Mater true! We’ll carry on the nobler, higher things, Follow’ the gleam, always, for it was you Who taught us love, and to the nation sings: “The Song of Faith”. Henry Barker Lyon, Senior Poet.

Y. P. U., ’21-’22; Manager Baseball. ’21-’22; Business Men’s Club; ‘M” Club; Hermenian; Masonic. Club; Distinction. Percy is another one of those fellows who entered M. C. in the fall of 1919, after hav- ing spent a year overseas with the great class. During his four years in college he has made the most of every opportunity and has achieved an enviable record. His optimistic spirit and friendly smile have won for him a place in the hearts of his fellow’ students. “Heck” is a man with a noble character, pleasing personality, clean habits, and high ambition, being a good student, a deep think- er, and a good friend-maker, a hustling busi- ness man, a keen potlicker, and a would-be “Stute Lover”. If “Heck” show’s the same grit and determination in his life vocation as he has shown in his studies and school activ- ities, he will certainly achieve no little fame. John A. Bass NEW HEBRON, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 24; Height, 5 ' 6 ; Weight, 180. Ministerial Student; Secretary Ministerial Asso- ciation, ’22-’23; Hermenian; Distinction. John received his high school education at Red House High School, in Jeff Davis Coun- ty. He entered Clarke Memorial College in the fall of 1917 and remained there for one term only. This is where he met a fair and noble young lady, Miss Velma Brady, who became his wife on February 24, 1918. John returned to Mississippi College in 1918 to complete his course. John is a splendid and thorough student. He has a big heart and a bright mind. His influence for good is felt by all who know him. We are all expecting him to do a great work as a minster of the gospel. ir I 1 t 1 I e!i 26
