REVEILLE 1907 JOHN JOSEPH HARDY, Newton, Miss. Civil Engineering. First Lieutenant Company A. Jack is a firm believer in upholding his own rights and the rights of his friends. He is a good student and a faithful worker; accurate in theory and i fricient in practice, promising to be eminently successful in his chosen profession. He heartily endorses all ath- letics, and has several times in his career come to the rescue of his class teams. Under ordinary conditions he is to all appearances as immovable as the Egyp- tian Sphinx Member Dialectic Literary Society; Member Associa- tion of Student Engineers; Class Base-Ball, ' 03- ' 04. ' 01- ' 05; Class Foot-Ball, ' 04- ' O5. I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none. ADRIAN HERREN, Valley, Miss. Civil Engineering. Private Company H. Ladies and gentlemen, he hails from the Delta, the home of alligators and swam-p-rabbits. Like Tully, he is fond (?) of military, and likes to wear his uni- form very much. He would, no doubt, wear his ac- couterments to church if the Commandant would let him. He has never been in love and doesn ' t want to be. He experts to be ehief engineer in the Philippine Islands, He doesn ' t talk much, but thinks a great deal M. A. S. E. Charms strike the heart, But merit wins the soul.

WILLIAM BURTON HAIRSTON, Meridian, Miss. Agriculture. First Lieutenant Company F. Bill has a head shaped like an ideal business man ' s, and unless some radical change takes place real soon he will occupy some exalted position in th s busy world. He cares nothing for military, but in his academic work he is a Jonah. He knows nothing of trouble. He has given the subject of love much time and thought, and he says, Woman ' s love i greater than power, sweeter than life, and st onger than death. Class Base-Ball Team, ' 04- ' (?5: German Club. Cease, every joy, to glimmer on my mind, But leave, oh! leave the light of nope behind.
