I V T | i » Senior Class David H. Barnhill MACON, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 22; Height, 70 ; Weight, 178. S. P. B. B. Club, ’20-’21- , 22- , 23 ; Class Volley Ball, ’22-’23; Class Basketball, ’22; C’ass Foot- ball. ’22; Member of the GURA Association, ’20-’2l ; East Mississippi Club; Filled All Offices of B. Y. P. U. ; All Offices of Literary Society; Ministerial Student; Hermenian. In the fall of 1900, on September 15, David first breathed the breath of life in a little coun- try home near Macon. Early in his life he decided to go to Oklahoma and become a grain grower, but no sooner had he decided upon that profession than a very intense desire dawned upon him for greater knowledge. Coming to Clinton at the age of 16, he fin- ished high school and came to us as a fresh- man in 1919. This stalwart gentleman is a very energetic and zealous worker. Good- natured, kindness, and honesty are some of his many attributes. Whether it be preaching a sermon or holding consultations with Cupid, David can be relied upon. He possesses a keen ability as an orator and poet, as can be seen in “Break! Break! Break!” His class- mates wish him a very successful life in the propagation of God’s Word. Buford Everett Berry PRENTISS, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 24; Height, 5 ' 6 ; Weight, 145. Ministerial Student; Regular Pastoral Work; Hermenian. Buford Everett Berry was born December 28, at Prentiss, Miss. He attended the local school, Simpson County A. H. S., and Mis- sissippi College. Though a minister, having entered that calling at the age of eighteen, Berry heard the call of his country and entered the navy in January, 1918. He became a yeo- man, and had the unusual privilege of serv- ing the First Baptist Church at Virginia Beach as pastor while stationed there at the radio station. At the close of the war Berry entered Richmond College for a year, after which he returned to his native state, bring- ing with him as his bride one of Virginia’s most charming young ladies, Miss Catharine Stormont, of Virginia Beach, whose heart and hand he had won. As soon as he returned, Berry reentered Mississippi College. He is a most affable man, easy of approach, every- body’s friend, frank, sincere. He will go out to teach and preach, later attending one of the seminaries to make further preparation for his chosen work. 27

Vice-President Freshman Class. ’19- 20; Class Football. ’19-’20, ’22-’23; Class Basketball. 20- ’21; Scrub Football. ’20-’21, ’21-’22; Athletic Ed- itor “L’ Allegro”, ’21-’22; Finance Officer Amer- ican Legion. ’21-’22; Attorney Student Body, ’22-’23; Honor Council. ’21-’22. ’22-’23; Execu- tive Council, ’22-’ 23 ; Fellow in Math.. ’21-’22; President Berry B. 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

28 Senior Class Dewey Bryan Courtney FLORENCE, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 24; Height, 5 ' 7 ; Weight, 135. S. A. T. C., ’18-’19; Honor Council, ’18-’19; Herald Philomathean Society, ’22-’23; Square and Compass Club, ’22-’23; All Offices in Philo- mathean Society; Rankin County Club; Three- Year Club. “Courtney”, as he is so called, came to us in 1918 as a member of the never-to-be-for- gotten S. A. T. C., in which he was a very active member. Courtney possesses unusual ability as a student, and always has a word of cheer to every freshman, as well as upper- classman. He is a close associate of the well- known Barney Thames, therefore a Nemesis to “Tite Wad” Wallace. Bryan is a favorite among the “fair sex” and a fond admirer of “pink shirt waists” and “grapevine swings”. He has a very high standing with his brothers in the Masonic fraternity. Bryan has been a credit to M. C., and his classmates predict for him an unusually successful career after his departure from M. C., as he is destined to make good, as evidenced by the skill and tact with which he proceeds in problems of com- plexity.

Lincoln County is truly proud of Montie A. Davis as its representative in the Class of ’23. During Montie’s high school days he won for himself much honor in the fields of oratory and debate. Montie saw active serv- ice during the World War, and was gassed twice during the Meuse-Argonne offensive. From the beginning of his college course, Montie has been recognized by both student body and faculty as a student who sees right through things to a reasonable and logical conclusion; as an excellent debater; as an eloquent speaker; as a business man of keen judgment; as a leader of marked ability; and as a friend of the rarest type. From us Montie goes to the Seminary to complete his prepara- tion for his life’s work. I I T I f -
