An excellent example of the evolution of a Prep. An enthusiastic believer in the theory that the English language plays a great part in the making of a man. Chap is a ha: d work- er and a fine practical student. His greatest occupa- tions are writing to Columbus, sending postal cards to New Orleans, and worrying Hyper.

An honest man is the noblest work of God. BUCK CLINT )X CLARK, Gohlson, Miss. Industrial Pedagogy. Captain and Quartermaster Staff. Buck is a good-looking, jolly, and friendly fellow, and he is possessed of many admirable qualities, one of which being worthy of special mention, is his personal magnetism. He goes, the girls see, and invariably he conquers. During the Normals, buck sees that all the pretty girls do not become lonesome; consequent- ly he is the ' 07 Normal hero. Buck, besides being a social leader, is one of the leaders in college work. He is an apt and gifted student and his reports always make a favorable showing. The A. M. College can count on Dr. Clarke as a loving and most loyal alumnus. Dialectic Literary Society; Associate Editor Re- flector ; German Club.

REVEI LLE 1907 JOHN MADISON BROGAN, West Point, Miss. Electrical Engineering. Johnnie is regarded by all his friends as an ex- tremely lovable fellow. He is a constant worship; er at the shrine of Venus, but, sad to tell, he has let his younger brother precede him to the altar. His fa- vorite occupation is going to town, and his devotion to Pat is only exceeded by Pat ' s devotion to him. He is a favorite with everybody, for he is a jolly good fellow. M. A. S.

24 REVEILLE 1907 GEORGE WESLEY COOMBS, Ripley, Miss. Industrial Pedagogy. Second Lieutenant Company F. George is very popular among- his class-mates, and it is said that he was never seen angry nor heard to swear. We believe his good nature and playful ways are due to his second childhood. He has already chosen his profession, and pursues his line of work with earnest zeal, not even allowing the charms of his fancy to deter him from his purpose. As a literary man, he was never downed in a debate, and some day we expect to hear his clear-cut logic piercing the walls of our Capitol. Dialectic Literary Society. A hard-working man. JASPER DAVID CORK, Ackerman, Miss. Industrial Pedagogy. Captain Company G. The subject of this description is not very peculia •. Among his fellow-students he is known as Bottle- stopper, while among some of the Professors, st ante to say, he has taken the name of Uncle John. Characteristic of Bottle-stopper though, he is rather independent, not egotistic, not pessimistic, but believe; thai the removal of Mathematics and Latin from the educational curriculum would eventuate his greatness. He is firm, Inccre, and deti-t ■ 1 n i 1 1 ■ ' I in his purpose of life. He is a good example of manhood, virtue, and piety among college men. President V. ftt. C. A.; Philotechnic Llterary Society. This truth how certain: when tins life Is o ' er, Man dies to live, and livis to die no more.
