He surpasses the average town Prep. A Cfesar would lung to be e 1- dowed with the knowledge of milita y science and tactics that yon will find stored up in Mary ' s head.

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.

30 REVEILLE 1907 ROBERT MATTHEWS LEIGH, Columbus, Miss. Industrial Pedagogy. Second Lieutenant Company D. Bob usually takes life easy, but constantly speaks of better clays to come. Early in his college career he rebelled against reveille and has since lived faithful to his resolutions. All those in his section know to humor him in small things lest they should tempt his quiet disposition. He admires Latin and Anatomy and frequently speaks of Medical Science He is very bold in his conversation, always speaking the truth. He is very affectionate, and you only have to make his acquaintance to admire his qualities. For my part, getting up seems not so easy by half as lying. TULLY JOSEPH LIDDELL, Fayette, Miss. Civil Engineering. Tully stands pre-eminent as the best all-round man in his class. Mentally he ranks with t ' :e best; morally he leads; and physically he has no equal. His favorite topic is Columbus; his chief occupation, going to the post-office; and his daily pastime is pitch- ing dollars and playing checkers. His frequent visits to Columbus interfere with his checke -playing, for When he gets over- there it takes nim so long to move. He is proud of his physical prowess, and re- mained unvanquished until he was conquered in a mortal comfoal with Cupid. Captain Lee Guard; M. A. S. B.; Class Treasurer; Leader Freerewiski Band, Had sighed to many, though he loved bu1 one.
