REVEILLE. Vol. V. Our First President. General Stephen D. Lee, LL.D., President Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College, April I, 1880, to May 1, 1899. The bravest are the tenderest, The loving are the daring. As a soldier, the author of this brief sketch served under the late Lieutenant-General Stephen D. Lee the last year of the Civil War, and as a member of his Faculty and as his next-door neighbor was intimately associated with him for sixteen years. In war and in peace, our first President was found, in every crisis of life, a great man — great in the nobility of character that faces duty, that fights in the open with hard blows, that is magnanimous to a defeated foe. that holds no vengeful malice against the foe who is successful. There is no finer model after which the young men of Mississippi can fashion their lives; for he was a great leader, a staunch friend, a just enemy, a generous neighbor, a loving father, a tender husband — a noble gentleman. William Howard Magruder. -Nine 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. Ex-Governor John Marshall Stone, President Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College, May 1, 1899, to March 26, 1900.

John Crumpton Hardy, M.A., LL.D., President Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College. Professor J. C. Hardy, the honored subject of this review, was born December 24, 1 864, in Newton, Newton County, Mis- sissippi. His patriotic ancestors, of Scotch-English blood, were among the early settlers of the country and were prominent in the Colonial epoch of our national history. Professor Hardy obtained his early education in the best com- mon schools of Newton County, where he also taught one year be- fore going to college. He entered Mississippi College in October, 1885, and was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in June, 1 889, with a brilliant record to his credit ; while taking his collegiate course he spent his intervening vacations in teaching sum- mer schools. After graduation from Mississippi College, he was appointed principal of Carrollton Male Academy, and filled this position one session; he was then elected principal of the High School in the city of Jackson, but retained this position only one session, as he was promoted to Superintendent of the Jackson City Schools, an incumbency which he continued to hold for nine consecutive years, and during this time gained high favor and prestige in the educa- tional circles of the State. In 1893 he received the degree of Master of Arts from Mississippi College, and in 1904 the hon- orary degree of LL.D. from the same institution. He was grad- uated in Law from Millsaps College in 1897, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws, and has also taken graduate work in Cornell University and the University of Chicago. Professor Hardy was President of the State Teachers ' Asso- ciation in 1 899, one of the most successful years in the history of the association; and he was appointed by Governor Longino as a member of the State Capitol Commission, which had in charge the building of the fine million-dollar Capitol. He is a member of the State Teachers ' Association, the Southern Educational Association, and the American Forestry Association; he is also a member of several fraternal orders. In April, 1900, he was elected President of the Agricultural and Mechanical College to succeed Ex-Governor J. M. Stone, and, under his able management and administration, the College has grown rapidly in all of its departments, its field of usefulness has been enlarged, and its development has been marked in all lines of educational extension. The average attendance of students has grown from 308 until the enrollment has reached 1 ,000 ; the Col- lege property has increased in value from $279,000 to $1,000,000, and opportunities are now offered to students for specialization in a dozen different lines of education. With the strong organization of a School of Agriculture, a School of Engineering, a Textile School, a Department of Industrial Pedagogy, and a Field of Ag- ricultural Extension through Farmers ' Institutes and Experiment Stations, the College is a living, growing monument for great good in the State — leading the way for diversification, development, and prosperity — and a credit to the whole South. — Thirteen 1909.

Mark is a representative from Attala Courtly, who came up a year ahead of most of us and took a Working-Boy s Course. He deserves great credit for having Worked his Way through school. He is a hard student, but has taken considerable interest in foot- ball, having played on both the Class Team and Scrub Eleven. Anthony is to be admired for his industriousness, honesty, and determination. He is a good speaker and a clear thinker. Some day he expects to own a stock farm and have his thoroughbreds famous. GEORGE EVANS BAIRD Inverness, Miss. Agriculture. Private, Company C. German Club; Collegians, ' 08- ' 09; Elysian Club, ' 07- ' 08; Skidoo Club; Swamp Rabbits; George Rifles; Mississippi Saber Company. George, or Duke, is a jolly, good-natured youngster who lakes life easy, especially during breakfast, church, and chapel — sleeping. Doesn ' t let studies interfere with his pleasure, but never shirks a duty except when he wants to go to town. He is quite popular among the girls and is a good dancer. He is thinking seriously about taking a peep into a book before getting his diploma. George ' s chief characteristic is his grin, and he is distinguished for his intense application to study and for that social instinct which in him is developed to such an abnormal degree. -Twenty-nine 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. JAMES GROVER BENNETT Crystal Springs, Miss. Mechanical Engineering. First Lieutenant, Company C. Lee Guard, Mississippi Saber Company; Copiah County Club, ' 07- ' 08, ' 08- ' 09; Class Baseball, ' 07- ' 08; Class Football, ' 06- ' 09. Grover is a reserved and model young man. To a stranger he seems to be a Quiet, sedate sort of a fellow, and, true, he has but little to say, except when writing to his beloved in Crystal Springs, when he tells of the horrors of Mathematics and the glories of Foot- ball. Is a good student, but since Calculus got into the course, he has never been a friend to Mathematics. He played star foot-ball on the Class Team and has won many friends. MAHLON THOMAS BIRCH Shawnee, Okla. Mechanical Engineering. Captain, Company E. Dialectic Literary Society; Glee Club; Skidoo Club; ' 09 Krags; Cosmopolitan Club, ' 05- ' 06; Secretary, ' 07-08, ' 08- ' 09; German Club, ' 06- ' 09; Secretary, ' 07- ' 08; President Collegians, ' 07- ' 09; Lee Guard, ' 06- ' 08; Color Sergeant, 07- 08 (resigned) ; Class Poet, ' 05- ' 06; Class Historian, ' 06- ' 07; Class Representative to Columbus, ' 07- ' 08; Reception Committee I.

Red, in coming to us in the Freshman year, made a valuable addition to the Class. He is one of that untiring kind who are needed to push things on toward the goal of success. He is an excellent business man, as can be seen by the way he has so well han- dled the business affairs of the Class from time to time. Birch is not an athlete, but has been the instigator behind many projects for the purpose of boosting that phase of College life. He is a shark in his studies and has an excellent record, but still finds time to set things in their lighter vein. He is easily recognized by his red hair and his peg trousers. Red never was a believer in military until the idea came with his captainship. His artistic talents are such as to be envied by all. Being a gentleman by birth and tearing, he is a natural leader, and is one of the most successful men We have as a Toast-master, or German Leader. His ready wit and genial humor have gained for him many friends. Those who know him intimately more than appreciate his qualities. — Thirty 1909. REVEILLE Vol. V. -Thirty-one 909.

Oscar, Pete, or Mex, any $ay you take him, has won many friends and fyepl them during his stay in College. He is a constant Worshiper at the shrine of Venus, and is a regular heart-smasher, with his dark epes and black hair. If you Want to know what he doesn ' t know (?) about Electricity, you may ask Professor Ard. Notwithstanding Oscar ' s love of pleasure, he is a good student. With his refined manners, generosity, and never-failing good-nature he is regarded by all a most lovable fellow. Has not yet decided what he will do after leaving College. GEORGE SAMUEL BOGGAN Mendenhall, Miss. Civil and Mining Engineering. Private, Company C. Dialectic Literary Society. Squire has been an earnest student during the three years he has spent here, though he has been greatly handicapped by sick- ness. He has lived in the Hospital about as much as in the Dormitory. Nevertheless, he has made good so far, and some day expects to build a railroad through the jungles of the Philippines and then preside over it. One of his chief characteristics is silence. He never was known to say anything to, for, or against anybody, and also was never known to look at a girl, for We think he has realized that one can be married lots of times, but a bachelor only once. — Thirty-three 1909.

Philotechnic Literary Society, ' 05- ' 09; Vice-President, second term, ' 08- ' 09; President Winston County Club; Young Men ' s Chris- tian Association. Rube, sometimes known as Fuzzy came to us through the country, and is a typical pedagogue. He first became famous on account of his ground tussle with a fierce opponent. He is an admirer of history and may some day be a great historian. He is always ready to give his opinion in everything and is a very obstinate arguer. We think he has a wonderful imagination, since he im- agines he can teach. EARLE EDWARD COOLEY Laurel, Miss. Electrical Engineering. First Lieutenant, Company G. Jones County Club; Class Baseball, ' 06- ' 07, ' 07- ' 08; Class Football, 08- ' 09; All Class Football Team, ' 08- ' 09. Earle is a loyal class-mate. Since coming to the old school he has polished up considerably. He is an easy-going sort of a fellow, not the best in theory, but a leader in practice. Once your friend, he is always your friend, and he has a good many among the bunch. He does not talk much, but thinks a great deal, and so far as We know, he has never (?) been in love. and doesn ' t want to be. He will take his B.S. in June. — Thirty-four 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V.

Fortune came to the College in the fall of 1 905 from Carriere, Miss. Having lived several years in New Orleans and the Da- go country, he has acquired the habit of imitating the spiel of fruit-venders, side-show barkers, etc., and can put most of them to the bad at their oxen trade. Frog, Chismatics, Chizolum, Thackeray, or anything else you care to call him, is an excellent fel- low, has a good, jolly disposition and is liked by everyone. He is studious and ambitious and will be heard from in the future engineer- ing World. He has taken interest in all forms of athletics and is a great admirer of the girls. He is very quiet on the subject, how- ever, and seems always to be not guilty of the charge. He would probably have done the society stunt more could his whim and pocketbook have agreed. When he leaves school, everyone will wish him the best of success, and may the first part of his name be ever with him. WILLIAM PERRY CRADDOCK Columbus, Miss. Civil and Mining Engineering. Captain and Adjutant, Cadet Corps.

The most amiable and, in the opinion of many, the most popular man in College is Perry. Not only does the trust and confidence of the student body rest with him, but that of the Faculty also. From the first he has been a leader in everything that is best in the Col- lege community. Perry steps naturally into leadership. Socially, Craddock has that personality so much admired by men and women. A true Southern gentleman. Perry embodies every idea that rules supreme in our midst. Our little social set enjoys him, admires him. Everyone loves the smile he carries with him. The k e one of his character is his ability to make you do what you think you don ' t Want to. If fate and his ambition work together, he will enter West Point Military Academy and go into the service of Uncle Sam. — Thirty-seven 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. WARREN ALEXANDER DEALE Macon, Miss. Electrical Engineering. Private, Company C. Dialectic Literary Society; Class Baseball, ' 06- ' 09; Class Football, ' 06- ' 08; Turkey-Snatchers Club; Track Team; Athletic Coun- cil; M. A. S. E. Somewhere back ' n Noxubee County, Deale was born about twenty years ago, and, emerging from the wilderness, he came here when the Class was in its infancy, with the ambition to become an electrical engineer. He has never become renowned in any particular thing, but will get a degree in June, as he got the studious habit in this his last year. What he hopes to do is about all there is to be said about him. He Was a member of the victorious ' 09 Football Team during the session of ' 07- ' 08, and has always been a loyal sup- porter of Class Athletics. CLINTON EDWARDS DORROH Macon, Miss. Agriculture. Captain and Range Officer. Lee Guard; Athletic Council; ' Varsity Football, ' 06- ' 09, Manager, ' 08- ' 09. Fat Bill is a man who has no enemies. He rode a long way through the woods one day in 1905 and boarded a Mobile Ohio train for the Agricultural and Mechanical College, of which he had heard much. He found the Dormitory and Chapel after some difficulty, and has stayed with us to the end, a fact of which we are proud. Clinton is a good combination of farmer and football- player. He knows a great deal about Agriculture and a great deal more about football. Until this, the last year, he steered clear of the girls, but now sometimes, when sitting alone in the Shack, he contemplates matrimony. We all know him by his ever singing the same old song, Mother Hasnt Spoke to Father Since. -Thirty-eight !909. REVEILLE Vol V. — Thirty-nine 909. REVEILLE Vol. V. Xini-v 1 r £% -Forty 1909. REVEILLE.

This is the likeness of our friend Didlum, a happy-go-lucky sort of a fellow, always ready for a good time. He is an ardent admirer of the fair sex, and several limes has been a target for Cupid ' s darts. He is somewhat of an athlete, taking special interest in tennis, in which game he is an adept. His greatest fault is looking most intelligent when he k n ows absolutely nothing. He is a strong advocate of the theory, Sleep and eat to-day, for to-morrow you may die. SAM LATTIMORE FOSTER Hattiesburg, Miss. Mechanical Engineering. Captain, Company B.

His frankness is character- istic. Sam ' s sincerity is marked, and he is a man who can be depended on to do what he thinks is right. He is proud of his company, has made a good captain, and is popular among the Preps on a cold night, as he is somewhat of an authority on steam-heating, and owing to past experience, an excellent mechanic. -Forty-one 909.

Lee Guard, ' 05- ' 09; German Club; Octopus Club; Gun Club; Class Baseball, ' 07- ' 08; Football, ' 08- ' 09; Mississippi Saber Company. Nick came up from Centerville with the idea of beating Electrical Engineering into his head, and has kept it fairly well. His love of sleep is excelled only by a few others we have in mind. Nick is nervy and a genuine lover of fun. He is ever ready to lend his aid in any mischievous underlaying. His disposition is one to be envied. To those he likes he is the best sort of a friend. In his Senior year he has proven to be somewhat of a Calicoist. Nick was a member of the merry bunch who staid on the campus dur- ing the Christmas holidays, and then, as always heretofore, his motto was, ' Won chickenibus ad profeszoribus.

This man has a good, sound intellect and his generous nature, pleasant and genial manner have attracted many friends. He en- listed in our ranks in 1905 and has made a good record as a student. With his romantic look, T c think he could captivate female hearts if he only tried. He will be sure to win out in some law school, and may some day wear the paraphernalia of Chief Justice. One of the steadiest men in the Class of 1909, as well as one of the best loved, Crady leaves behind him a host of friends both in his Class and in the under classes. It has been said that if you want a thing done, get Guyton to do it. Guyton is a good mixer, especially with the men who look upon the sober side of life. The respect of all his acquaintances accompanies him upon his voyage through life ' s sea. — Forty-two 1909. REVEILLE Vol. V. feSlr+r - V- — Forty-three 1909. REVEILLE Vol. V. -Forty-four 1909.

Julien has been with us since ' 05. and is a member of the Class of xvhom we are all proud. Unusually quiet and reserved, though he sometimes loves to Prep. He is fond of military and makes a good captain. He loves to sing and has a voice like the purr of a Nurnidian lion. Julien has quiet and steady habits, and in all is a most amiable fellow. His plans for the future have not been announced. WILSON HEMINGWAY, Jr Culfport, Miss. Electrical Engineering. Private, Band. Turkey-Snatchers ; Octopus Club; Helicon Orchestra. i This is Puss, whom We all know, for he is a man who toots his own horn, and it is a big one loo. Puss is skilled in Elec- tricity and the art of bumming tobacco. Though King Nick O ' Teen and the god Morpheus are his great friends, he likes Electricity, and is one of the best men in the Class. His ability along the line of Mathematics is unexcelled. As a class-mate he is liked by all, and his ever-ready wit and originality have made him a popular member. -Forty-five 1909, REVEILLE. Vol . V. WILLIAM EARLE HOLMES Sallis, Miss. Civil and Mining Engineering. 1st Lieutenant and Adjutant, 1st Battalion. Mississippi Saber Company. Earle should have been an alumnus of the College now, but for sickness and other mishaps it has been his good luck, and ours too, for him to fall in with our lot. Local society has never attracted him, and at limes he believes in studying hard. He loves to ponder over the future, but we do not think he will worry much as long as the trains stop at McCool. He expects to follow Civil Engineer- ing, and We expect great things of him along this line, for he has already displayed considerable engineering ability. Holmes has an aptitude for consuming huge quantities of tobacco off-hand, and then sending the good-natured Cap Jones out bumming a fresh supply. On the field work Holmes is a firm believer in getting done in a hurry. This too may apply to his math- ematical labors, and we may look toward Holmes for correct and prompt compulations. GEORGE WILLIAM HOSEY Moss, Miss. Agriculture. Private, Company G. Four-Leaf Clover Club; Hutchinson Agricultural Club; ' 09 Krags; Mississippi Saber Company; Tennis Club. There is nothing in this young man ' s appearance to suggest anything out of the ordinary, and if you think he looks wise — well, he forgot to correct the error. About some phases of Agriculture he has a good knowledge. He may become an expert d airyman, as he has had much experience along the milk line. His favorite study is Chemistry, and in this he has truly applied himself. Hosey has a most jovial nature when in trouble. How many of us have taken him to be in the best of spirits when he was the bluest. Not naturally a studious personage, we know from his record that he is blessed with an uncommon amount of gray matter. Hosey does not believe in leading his classes, but we always find him within easy reach of the top. — Forty-six 1909. REVEILLE. Vol.V. fy e?. ? o wus -Forty-seven 909.

He has not yet lost habits acquired in that depart- ment. He has been pronounced handsome by the girls. He deserves credit for the long chase he has made for his sheepskin. Though never accused of being a hard student, he has taken considerable interest in his studies. Hudson ' s greatest fault is rushing the girls to a finish — the finish being a lemon or a sweetly uttered 23. WILSON CONGER JONES Blackhawk, Miss. Electrical Engineering. First Lieutenant, Company F. Carroll County Club, ' 05- ' 08; President, ' 07- ' 08; Rounders ; Pressing Club. Old Cap or Jonesey is an old reliable, having come up from the Prep, and is now enjoying his Seniority in every re- spect. Cap knows how the underclassmen feel toward Seniors, and he firmly believes in being respected in every particular. Still, Cap is always the first man the Prep invites to share his box from home. A thought of graduation will cause a sunny smile to emanate from the ruddy countenance of the old General, and he will con- tentedly puff away at his pipe, possibly thinking of a few things that will happen when W . C. Jones, Esq., comes marching home. Jones does not fancy the active pari of social life, but loves to dream of the bummed tobacco he has consumed during his stay With us. Notwithstanding the vast amount of sponging we have had from the good-natured Cap, we would gladly give him another five-year lease on our pouches if we could but have him with us to make smiles of life ' s cares. -Forty-nine 909.

Kap, the man who made Drew famous, is a brilliant as well as erratic student. He likes to sleep and pla)) football on the Campus with the Preps. Is one of the youngest men in the Class. He is witty, has an exceptionally shrewd business head upon his shoulders, and when maturity steadies him, he will be on the high- road to a successful career. He does not objccl to cutting the first hour to write a letter. He intends entering Harvard, and we wish him much success. CHARLES ADRIAN KNIGHT Lauderdale, Miss. Electrical Engineering.

Adrian registered from Neville, a little town unknown now, but some day we expect it to be made famous by him. He has been an earnest student from the first, and is a good example of what a man can do when he makes use of his opportunities and remembers what he learns. His reasoning ability is good and he arrives at his own conclusions. He has a good voice, which could break the barriers of any feminine heart, but he has never been so disposed. He is proud of his company and his M made on ' Varsity football. -Fifty 1909. REVEILLE. Vol V. t t n -Fifty-one 1909. RFVEILLE. Vol. V. -Fifty-tvjO 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V.

Mullet-Chasers. We have it that great men are Wont to begin at the bottom. Not that this foreshadows the impending good luck in store for our worthy classmate, still, Koch must needs be accredited for having attained the position he now occupies after five years of unceasing labors. Koch Was a Prep five years ago, and, to take people at their Word, he Was not an extraordinary Prep at that. Now we see Koch the broader, better, abler man, and rejoice that he has taken advantage of the opportunities offered here. In the future may each five years of Koch ' s life bring as much improvement in every way as have these now completed at Ag- ricultural and Mechanical College. — Fifty-three 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V.

Kile, the Stoic member of our class who can he depended upon to keep his mouth shut when he ought to, came up from the Freshman Class without losing his determination to get his sheep-hide if such was possible. We have had a worthy classmate in Kite. He has been the object of many a joke, and his timely utterances and appealing sentiment has saved the men who now him intimately many a weary hour or blue ' ' ' day. We are sorry to say that we do not know Kite intimately as a class. He is quiet and believes in a certain amount of seclusion; still, when smiles burst forth, Kite is sure to have his humorous sentiment near at hand where he can enjoy the laugh with the rest of the men. Kite is a strong man, studious, and is not a buttinski- This we cannot say of all men of Kite ' s caliber.

To warn all dumb beasts, we wdl say that he is going to Kansas City to study Veterinary Science. Doubtless Luster will prove more successful in life than the average man in our Class. PERCY FELIX LYONS Vicbburg, Miss. Civil and Mining Engineering. Second Lieutenant, Company F. George Rifles, ' 07- ' 09; Warren County Club, ' 07- ' 09. Percy is quiet, reserved, venerable, and adverse to society. He is one of the members of the Class who js a true student, studying at all limes. If he gets his coveted dip, he has done four years ' work in txvo. He is lading Civil Engineering by mistake; should have been a geologist. He has advanced the fact that a geyser could be made to erupt by pouring hot water into it. Percy had the good fortune to have a brother in school here some years ago, and to that brother he owes the path of roses found by him in the beginning of his first year with us two sessions ago. Everyone took him for the brother, and the likeness in both ingenuity and ability made it a problem with us as to whether it was really Percy or his brother we Were wont to depend on for the Lyons accuracy and speed. Percy ' s most valuable asset is his perseverance. We wish him much success in every undertaking with which he may match his sterling qualities. — Fifty-seven 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V.

He has a good head — good size, we mean — and it was once said that he was good-looking, but this idle rumor was stopped at once. His attainments socially and otherwise are very good. Grudy ' s innocent look and soft voice might fool a stranger. He will make business his future occupation. RUSSELL WINFIELD McCARGO Olive Branch, Miss. Civil and Mining Engineering.

Russell, or known to the Ancient Order of Penologists ' as Chingachgook or Nigger, is an all-around college man. He is both a good athlete and a good student. In center field, a position he has held during his whole stay, he can catch anything from a pea to a cannon ball. He is quite popular among the girls, but has never let Cupid ' s arrow pierce his heart. College fandom realizes that seasons may come and seasons may go, but We can never have another such artist in the center garden. A loyal classmate, popular among all, and we predict for him a bright future. — Fifty-eight 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. ?. ft 7H -Fifty-nine 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V Tt.ntMc«+£ -Sixty 1909. REVEILLE.

The old Class of ' 09 pats itself on the back when it remembers that it has Chris for one of its members. He is one of the few who is destined to make it famous. He is liked by all who know him and is ever ready to add his share of wit and fun to any con- versation, when not thinking of Birmingham or homesick for Columbus. Chris never has been a lady ' s man. On the Class Football Team he was about the best we had, and, though he never studies when there ' s something else to do, he has always known what to say on exams. Chris wants to become a great architect, and will make a specialty of it at whatever school he next attends. RICHARD MILES McCOOL McCool, Miss. Agriculture. Major, Second Battalion.

The old Class Was well on its way when Richard entered school in 1905. He registered as McCool, from McCool the town having been named for him in years past. He is a Walking encyclopedia, and a glance at his countenance will reveal this fact. He has been an earnest student of Agriculture, but has never taken any interest in Athletics or society. — Sixty-one 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. WILLIAM FRANKLIN McCRARY West Point, Miss.

Take a second look at Willie Frank and see a man who has been here under adverse circumstances since our Sophomore year, and has made good. He has been deterred in his work by sickness, but his quick, active mind and strong reasoning ability have enabled him to £eep pace with his fellow-students. Mack is good-natured and congenial. He is a little backward with the girls, but some day, when he becomes a chief engineer, he will gel up courage. When his term is out and his days of association with the Ancient Order of Penologists are over and his name has been added to the long list of alumni, the Class of ' 09 will be glad to say, This is one of my men.

Mack with the usual crowd from the notable Jones County, entered school in 1904. He made a good, steady, reliable Prep. Tho ugh just a plain, ordinary sort of a fellow, Mack is a man of whom we are justly proud. All of his classmates rec- ognize him as being strong menially, physically, and morally. With little natural interest in Athletics, he has had enough class spirit to play football on the Class Team, and that he Was a good man is shown by the fact that he Was selected for All Class. -Sixty-two 1909.

The Colonel comes from Hazlehurst, and has been here long enough (five years) to have become renowned. He has taken great interest in military and Teas rewarded this year by being commissioned with the highest rank among the student body. He has taken some interest in Athletics and made a good man on the Class FootballTeam. From his record above you may have observed his popularity. He is another Worshiper at the shrine of Venus, and you may often find him dreaming of his lady love. Teddy has many friends. He expects to enter West Point. BENNIE MITCHELL Sardis, Miss.

He has discovered a formula for a curved ball, and sometimes has lost the ball if not the rep of visiting pitchers. Ben is popular among the Class and in society. He is quiet and steady and has won the admiration and respect of all who know him. He will be sure to be in the A.B. column this spring.

Bill has become renowned in college ball, as he has few equals as a performer in the box. He likes basketball and will admit that he also likes the game where both arms are admitted, and says he has never had any difficulty playing it. NATHANIEL CLIFTON MONCRIEF Starkville, Miss. Mechanical Engineering. Add. Second Lieutenant, Company C. Here is a Town Prep, and a typical one too. He might have a good time at a Senior masquerade ball, for he doesn ' t offer suffi- cient inducements for the girls to call him cute. He is a diligent, persevering student and a leader in his class both theoretically and practically.

He lakes twenty-five hours a week in the barber shop and one hour and a quarter in the special departments — anyway, he has clung to the old Class with the tenacity of a bulldog.

Having Worked in the Agricultural Department, he is fond of peaches, and is often heard murmuring about a little peach at Ackerman. He has a great deal of Class spiiit and showed his ability as a football-player on the Class Team.

Shep will swipe a diploma in June, if the professors are not looking, after which we do not know what he will follow, but suppose he will do the high dive in the business World. Shep is young yet and will learn lots more than he already £noii s, except in the art of making love, at which he is an expert. DANIEL RANEY Venville, Miss. Agriculture. Private, Company C.

He likes to sleep and has always had a hard time getting to breakfast. He could make a good musician, and his artistic ability is excelled by few we have. Among the girls he is a paralyzer.

He has never done the society stunt here, but has seldom missed a local dance. Has always been a quiet sort of fellow, and has a good disposition. Bv the dreamy Waltzes played by his bond, an organization which has monopolized the musical industry here, many have danced gaily into the midnight hours, and some have fallen in love at the thrumming of his Italiano Cuitarino. — Seventy-eight 1909.

He plays on the saxophone, the mandolin, and on a green baize-covered table. Has been a vigorous student of Agriculture. Fond of writing letters to Georgia and telling of his past ex- perience.

Burrhead is not the most ingenious among our number, but he is a persistent worker and will no doubt come out on top in the long run. Oscar, as he is sometimes called by the Newton County boys, is evidently a heart-smasher in that community, but from local society he has kept aloof. At a shooting-gallery he should take all prizes, for he is a record-breaking bell-ringer. JAMES WILLIAM SARGENT Ackerman, Miss. Industrial Pedagogy. Major, First Battalion.

Sargent can put up a good talk when he has to, We think, with either sex, and his literary taste may lead him into law or the ministry.

Mount is one of the youngest members of the Class — a fact that he has evinced by his boyish spirit and love of fun. Jokes and schemes of all sorts, including night escapades, have been both formulated and carried out by him. His interest in military is only ex- ceeded by that in football. He has made a good reputation as a scholar, being among the best in Mathematics. His accuracy in theory and efficiency in practice lead us to believe that some day he will be famous. Thinks of entering Boston Tech., and will no doubt make good in the big school, as he has always done here. JAMES BOOTH SHELTON Macon, Miss. Textile Engineering. Private, Company D.

PREVIOUS to the Elizabethan age, England had developed some great men and produced some worthy works, but this period marked the climax, the supreme height, in her career. Her great men of this period are yet to be equaled, the prestige and power she then gained still lives and honors her. fin the repetition of such history the search for a worthy repeater is brought to a close at Mississippi ' s Agricultural and Mechanical College. Previous to the year 1909 the College has developed some great men and produced some worthy works, but the output had been very spasmodic. In the graduation of such a class as the present Seniors, Agricultural and Mechanical College has done herself proud, and, in the years to come, may well rest on the laurels of her labor. fin the fall of 1905 everything at Agricultural and Mechan- ical College seemed to be on the boom. There were many and va- ried surmises made for this condition, but none seemed to hit the logical reason. The influx of such capital as the Class of 1909 presented was bound to cause a boom. fGreen — aye, they were somewhat verdant, but beneath that texture of chlorophil there existed the virgin color gold. In the many phases of College life, the true color soon came to the light. In athletics, in the literary societies, in the class-room, in social life, the Freshman Class of ' 05 - ' 06 stepped into natural leadership. Numbering some two hundred and fifty members, this class was the largest ever enrolled in the history of the College. fin the spring of 1 906 the Baseball Team had more Fresh- men on the Varsity than all the other classes put together. The star pitchers were Freshmen and the leading batter was from the same class. fThe organization of the Class that year was of the highest type, and probably that is why we have stuck together so closely all through the College course. fThe spirit of those two hundred and fifty Freshmen had be- come united in a bond of brotherhood, and when, in June, the time for parting came, it was with real sorrow that we bade good-bye to some of our classmates of the year forever. But that first year, its mottled experiences and strange reminiscences, as well as the faces of our fellow-classmen, remain fresh in our memories. fin the fall of 1906 there were assembled on the classic hills of Agricultural and Mechanical College about a hundred and -One Hundred and One 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. ninety clean sleeves and ring-tails to stand the strain of the hardest year in the College course. It was a hard but glorious year. The dormant mettle lying inert in that most promising Class was brought vividly to the surface, and by this time all eyes were turned on our Class, expectancy to be read in every face. At the end of the year there was no look of disappointment — only an I told you so. IfThe artistic and literary work of the Annual that year was done almost exclusively by Sophomores. There were seven of our men on the Baseball Team and three in the Football Squad to win their M. [When we returned for our Junior year, little did we dream that our Class would be subjected to one of the most severe tests ever put to a body of men. Suffice it to ?ay that we were equal to the emergency and that we held the College together pending the invsti- gation by the proper authorities, the cutcome of which showed our action to be most commendable. The little diffeiences that slipped in here and there were speedily swept away by that never-to-be-for- gotten Junior Banquet and Dance. After this the Class was more of a unit than at any time previous, and the interested people of the State knew that the future of the College was assured. The Juniors led in everything. Again we had four star men on the ' Varsity Football Team and seven on the Baseball, including the captain and the manager. The Junior Class Team, after a hard-fought season was adjudged the champion of class teams by defeating the Sophomores, who unchallenged had held the championship up to that time. An additional honor was our winning a game from the second ' Varsity, a feat never before nir since attempted by class teams. TfThere were about eighty-five men to return to shoulder the re- sponsibiliti es and enjoy the privileges of the Senior year. The spirit of union which has always marked the Class since its organization, has been with us more strongly than ever in this our last year at Agricultural and Mechanical College. TfWe occupy the same prominent position in the athletic world as heretofore, having furnished four men for the Football Team and six of the nine for the Baseball. [The long years of preparation for the reception and develop- ment of the Class of 1 909 have been well spent, and the mem- bers of the Class and their productions in the future will give ample proof of this. [Never before in the history of the College has a class been so markedly blessed with every talent; literary, forensic, artistic, ath- letic, business, academic, military — every talent is ours. While at Agricultural and Mechanical College the members of the Class of 1 909 have done wonders for themselves and their Alma Mater. But what they have accomplished is but a slight introduction to the history they will make for themselves and Agri- cultural and Mechanical College in the future. — One Hundred and Two 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. IfThe four years of our College life spent here have been fraught with pleasures and intermingled with some sorrows. The time of parting now at hand is truly sad to the members of this Class. There are ties that bind us to dear old Agricultural and Mechan- ical, and it is not only a reluctant but painful farewell that we are forced to say. Our good-byes are baptized in the tears of sor- row at parting. TJThe Class of 1909 has a laudable past, and its future bids fair to eclipse the grandeur and ma gnificence of the Elizabethan period.

Junior Class History. f How prone we mortals are to overestimate the merits and un- derestimate the defects of those we love! Even historians are not proof against this natural inclination, so, in order that I may not, like Macaulay and other great historians, be accused of presenting a partisan view of life, I shall keep myself constantly on my guard, and not allow my abnormal affection for my Class to cause me to give a corresponding exaggeration of facts. fin the history of our Class, though not marked by any event of tremendous import, this year has not been uneventful. When school opened last fall, the Juniors matriculated early and got a good start. They went into their academic work with a will, find- ing plenty of time to devote to the support of football, which was then the consuming topic of the day. The Junior classmen were not only loyal in giving the ' Varsity Team their support, but from their ranks came the captain of this year ' s team. The Scrub Team was composed almost entirely of Juniors, many of whom participated in ' Varsity games, and in many instances, by shifting the pigskin many yards to the front, foreshadowed a wonderful triumph on the gridiron during the coming season. fThe next line of energies along which the Juniors found their powerful activities directed was class football. Here, notwithstand- ing the fact that a large number of their best men were ruled out on account of having played scrub ball, the Junior Team enjoyed a triumph which will be hard to duplicate by any class team. The winners of the ' 08 class championship, a score of 85 points to their combined opponents ' zero, and seven men on the All Class Team, is a record of which the Juniors are justly proud. fl would not leave the impression with the reader that the Juniors are worthy of merit only on account of their record in Ath- letics, for they are very generally known as an unusually industrious and sober set of fellows, who perform to the best of their ability any duty that comes to hand.

Sophomore Class History. |With the opening of this session last September, there were on hand about one hundred and fifty of last year ' s Freshmen, all ready to go to work ; yea, more than ready to take up their duties as Sophomores and as corporals. Every student who stays here even until he graduates do:s not completely cast off the greenish hue and awkward pose he brought here with him, so when we Sophomores took up Chemistry and began to reduce the complex compounds, I might say, to simpler ones, by the aid of certain chemicals known to the Faculty, some of the reactions were quite different from what might have been expected. Nevertheless, most of them proved to be quite successful. jWe soon settled down to good earnest work, called a meet- ing of the Class, and elected officers for this session. These officers have faithfully, and I hope satisfactorily, in a greater or less de- gree p;rform;d their duties. Suffic; it to say that the Class has flourished under the guidance of its present leaders. In the interclass football games our Class Team took an active part, always showing up to good advantage; but the results of the series will be portrayed, I presume, in the history of another class. jThe Sophomores, as a rule, have done good work this year in every department without exception, and the present prospects are for a very brilliant and promising Senior Class for the session 1910-1 I. At all events, we trust that we shall continue in our good work, and in that instance our Class will most certainly be one of the best representations this College has ever known.

Although we have seen nothing as yet in print in regard to a great blessing (or calamity) that will befall the people of this State in June, 1912, many rumors have been heard to the effect that such will occur. At that time the members of the present Freshman Class, with their rolls of sheepskin tucked under their arms, will go forth upon an unsuspecting world, and, in Prep lan- guage, There ' 11 be somethin ' doin ' . ftWe are still holding up the reputation made while in the Pre- paratory Class last year, and, with the help of those who have joined us on the way, have become the largest and most studious Freshman Class in the history of this institution. TfNeither have we been backward in Athletics. We have men on the ' Varsity Football Team who helped bring us so much glory during the past season. We also have men on the Basketball and Baseball Teams who have helped considerably in upholding the honor of the College. The captain of the ' Varsity Track Team for the present session is a Freshman, which adds much to the athletic stand- ing of the Class, and, as will be shown on annual field day, a bet- ter selection could not have been made. The Class also furnished its full share of scrubs, who are so necessary for the development of a successful team. [College life may be compared to a block of quarried marble. Last year the sculptor received us in our rough state, and we were chiseled down enough to remove our greater faults. This year we were put through a little greater smoothing process by the artist, re- moving all the rough edges and leaving us in good shape for the finer work that is to come. [The ambition of the members of the Class is high and noble, yet we are content to begin at the bottom and work upwards. If ' Here ' s to the Class of 1912! May her loyal sons ever rally about her, being always ready to defend her honor. May she turn out men better prepared to fight the battles of life, always striving to do that which is good and noble, than any classes which have left the arms of their Alma Mater!

We were about two hundred and fifty strong, com- ing from every nook and corner of the State to join the ranks of Peter ' s army. Among this vast number we found some of the green- est Preps that ever drifted into a college. Like a rose blooming among thorns, we found our welcomed co-ed, Miss Kathleen Howard. flAbout a month of Peter ' s philosophy, driven home by unre- lenting military discipline, and reinforced by the delicious fare of Mess Hall bread and zip, served to open our eyes as to what real college life consists of. Realizing the problems which confronted our Class, and seeing that it would be impossible to solve these prob- lems without organization, we met in Prep Heaven and elected able leaders for this distinguished body. flAs Preps we have been stuck by ring-tails and those higher in authority, but next year we hope to make our impression as real college students. Then the following year — Gee! it will be great.

Most dreams never materialize, but this is exception. For I met the O. D. At one twenty-three, And he showed me a Tvalf(ing reception. I am the kid that built the Pyramids, With my headquarters in the Catacombs. I rid the country of the katydids, And negotiated our Government loans. I was secretary to old Methuselah When he was my mother-in-law ' s porter. And last but not least. Rejoice, Man and Beast! I made the Merry Widow Hose Supporter. Mary had a little flea. She picked him off her dog. She put him on a little pig And now he ' s on the hog. TAKE WARNING.

The Last Meeting of the Hen Pluckers. Room No. — , H Company, was filled with boys. Every- thing was in a buzz of excitement; it was the meeting of the famous club of Hen-Pluckers — their regular Saturday night meeting. The High Royal Pullet-Snatcher rapped on the radiator with an old rusty bayonet for order. At last, when everyone became quiet, he said: We must now have the report of the Committee on Ob- servation. Most honorable Royal Pullet-Snatcher and brother Hen- Pluckers, said one member, rising, as chairman of this important committee, it gives me great pleasure to make the following report: ' We, the humble members of this committee, find that the Command- ant has just purchased a fine lot of chickens, and that we members of said committee do believe that said Commandant is not a very diligent watcher of his chickens, and we do recommend this as a very desirable place to obtain supplies for the club in the future. We also beg to state that the big gobbler of Professor Magruder ' s and the pair of white turkeys belonging to Professor Weddell, which were included in our last week ' s report, are now in magnificent con- dition, having received special attention for Thanksgiving. Taking into consideration all these facts, we, your humble committee, do recommend that all these resources be gathered together, and the part that is not used at present be placed in the custody of a faith- ful keeper, to be used in case of hard times. ' The report was received with noisy applause. The High Royal Pullet-Snatcher then took the floor and said: Hen-Pluckers, you have heard this report, and I want you to gather up these supplies, for we know not at what moment there will be a chicken famine. So I will divide you into three divisions, each division to be under the direct command of a Chief Plucker. The first division will visit the Commandant and relieve him of a couple of ' fryers. ' The second division will secure the two white turkeys of Professor Weddell. The third division will relieve Pro- fessor Magruder of that big gobbler. The cook and his assistants will get their apparatus in readiness for the feast. The divisions departed for their various fields of duty. The cook and his assistants began the gathering together of cooking uten- sils of almost every kind. In a few moments the big study table was covered with radiator attachments, alcohol and oil stoves of every imaginable kind, odds and ends of Mess Hall crockery, and an immense pile of bread. A box of powdered chocolate was brought from the Royal Snatcher ' s trunk, a pitcher of milk came from somewhere, and m a very short time the accomplished cook had made a bucket of delicious hot chocolate. About this time there were several rapid knocks on the door. The countersign, yelled the High Royal Snatcher. Hen ' s teeth, whispered someone through the keyhole. Upon hearing this magical word His Highness opened the door and in walked the committee that had been sent to visit the Commandant. They panted for breath, as if almost exhausted. -One Hundred and Fifty-two 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. What did you do with the chickens? asked the Royal Snatcher, seeing that they had none with them.

You see, the chickens were fastened up and we tried to break in the coop, but we made so much noise that in a few seconds some- thing that looked like a yellow streak dashed among us, and — and — we dicided to leave. And I tell you now, I don ' t want to hang around there after any more chickens, because that man is too particular about his chickens. Young man, you don ' t know the first principles of the art of stealing chickens, yelled the High Chief. A fine-looking Chief Plucker you are, he said sneeringly. There would have probably been more hot words on the sub- ject had not there been at this juncture considerable knocking at the door, which called the atttention of all in that direction. After the countersign had been given, the door was opened and in came an- other division. The Chief carried a large bag on his shoulders, as he swaggered in with an important air. What have you got? asked His Royal Highness. Professor Magruder ' s old gobbler, answered the Chief. And let me tell you, we had a time with him, too. He was in a coop in the back yard and we had to be mighty easy about get- ting him out, because, you see, we didn ' t want to bother Professor about it. But that is the strongest turkey I ' ve ever tried to han- dle; it took four of us to get him out of the coop, and he came near beating us all to death before we could get him in the bag. The cook and his assistants began to prepare the gobbler at once. In a few moments the third division arrived, bringing with them two large white turkeys. 1 hese are the last turkeys that I am going to try to bring in alive, said the Chief; we had an awful time keeping out of Pro- fessor Waddell ' s way. He chased us to the green-house, and came near overtaking us several times. It is very unprofessional-like to try to run with a live turkey, anyhow. Well, we will kill only one of them to-night, said the High Royal Pullet-Snatcher. We will stake the other one out near the rifle-pit, by tying a string to one leg and fastening it to a tree. Then by watching and feeding him we can keep him in good condition for hard times. So one of the turkeys was killed and the enormous task of cooking began. All the stoves and the radiator attachment were put into use. And while the cooking was going on the members of the club took turn about in telling marvelous tales of chicken-stealing. Suddenly there were a few sputters from one of the stoves, then in a few seconds there was a terrific explosion. Everything was in darkness and confusion. Several of the members had been knock- ed down by the shock, and were groaning and yelling as if badly wounded. But by the light of a match it was found that no one was seriously injured. The cook had lost his eyebrows and a good- ly portion of his hair in the flash. The windows and transom had been shattered. The floor was covered with broken dishes and bread. Pieces of turkey and oil stoves were sticking to the walls and celling. The members quietly sneaked to their respective rooms and waited patiently for their portion of — extra duty. And since that day they have had but little to say of the last meeting of the Hen-Pluckers. Bones, ' 10. — One Hundred and Fifty-three 909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. How He Put the Question. A Senior is accused of sending this pathetic letter to his dream of dreams last fall: Dear Madge, — The time has come when I must ask you a question concerning a subject the contemplation of which has caused me many sleepless nights and long days of anxiety. Believe me, this is a subject of which I hesitate to speak to anyone, as I have known whole communities to be upset by the discussion of it. Yet, I must know the worst. I dare not communicate my state of mind to my mother, for she, as you know, is old-fashioned in her views, and would give but one answer. In my distress I appeal to you, because I know you so well and feel confident that your heart is ever open to me. That I am asking a great deal I freely admit, but will you not put aside the duties, social, literary, and domestic, and devote your whole time and faculties, if need be, to the consideration of this most vital question. But enough; I must come to the point — for weal or woe I make the plunge: Do you think it time for me to put on my winter flannels? Awaiting your answer I am, very patiently, Jack L . — One Hundred and Fifty-four ' I I ! I_t -U-7A l : : 3 r j 1 _ The Regiment. H.B FURMAN jpjj Guard Mount. M ss Straw, Sponsor WS.Holmes.

The Special Military Companies. At this school, where the State Legislature has seen fit to bar fraternities, the special companies replace that phase of college life, and, with the social and dancing clubs, make up the set. The Lee Guard and George Rifles are composed of members of the four classes and the Preparatory Department, elected by the members of the respective companies. The number of members is about thirty in each company, and this small number, selected from our large student body, insures the election of only those men who are best fitted for such honor — mentally, morally, socially, and cer- tainly physically. The Mississippi Sabre Company is composed of members of the Senior Class only. The drill is with sabers, and the members are selected for their standing as required by the other companies, and, in addition, the ease with which they handle the saber. The company stands for the development of swordsmanship of the high- est type, and challenges any like organization to meet it in com- petitive drill. The special companies represent the ideal of military condi- tions from the selection of members to the election of officers. The officers are commissioned both from their record while members of the organization and their ability to hold the office for which they are selected. From the small number of men who are members of these com- panies as compared to the student enrollment in the Military Depart- ment, it is evident that that election to one of the organizations is an honor worthy of any cadet ' s consideration. Besides the military feature of the special companies, there is also the social side. The annual dances given by the companies are always looked forward to. This year the Lee Guard held their annual hop on the nineteenth of February, followed by the Missis- sippi Sabre dance on March fifth, and on the twenty-sixth by the George Rifles. ' The companies this year have not been so well represented as they were last session. The Mississippi Sabres represented the corps ill Jackson on Thanksgiving Day by an exhibition drill. At the Corner-stone ceremonies on the Sixteenth of April, however, all the companies shared equal honors in escorts and drills. We believe that, in order for the proper spirit toward the mil- itary feature of our College to be made manifest, these companies are indispensable. We trust that they may ever command the respect of both students and Faculty. — One Hundred and Eighty Cap -. Middl($on, • ' Lieut Modes.

To the shadow land Hereafter, Like the dying of sweet laughter, Lee, the scholar, soldier, statesman, passed away. And Tombigbee, in her marshes, bea ts and washes, sways and swings, Ever rising, ever falling With the same sad cry is calling, For the brighter and the better vanished things. For hirn sighing, ever crying, tall pines roar and rock and sway; Still the mornings and the evenings, Like a ceaseless music blowing, Ever ebbing, ever flowing, With their glimmer and their glowing, fade away. And the sea-wind, hillward coming. Bears the sound of angel thrumming, And among the elms and birches swings and searches all day through. And the hills that lean to hearken, And the valleys as they darken, And the flowers, still await him whom they knew. He has left the hills and meadows; he has left the kindly day. To the shadow land Hereafter, Like the dying of sweet laughter, Lee, the scholar, soldier, statesman, passed away. We who knew him, we who loved him, what a burst of joy we sing, At the thought that on the morrow, Knowing naught of pain or sorrow, We shall hear his dear voice calling, as our homeward way we wing! M. T. B., 09. -One Hundred and Ninety 1909. REVEILLE. Vol V How the Pedagogical Course Was Established. When the Agricultural and Mechanical College was first es- tablished there were only two courses — namely, Agricultural and Textile. The Engineering Course was later organized for a class of boys who wanted to come to the College, but cared more about fooling with machinery than they did about either one of the courses here taught. Still there were boys who did not seem to fit either of these three courses. They could do a little at each, but not enough to make a success at any one. About t hese students the Faculy was Very much worried. They could not tell from anything these boys did what they would be best suited for in life, and still they did not want to turn them away. As usual when things are bothering members of the Faculty, they called a special meeting to see what would be done about this state of affairs. Many were the suggestions turned in by the various members. Some wanted to do one thing with the boys of this class and some another. One member wanted to teach them agricultural knowledge regardless of whether they wanted to learn it or not. Another thought that if they were taught some special branch of Agriculture, like Forestry or some such thing, they could be made to get along all right. Another said that if they were taught any branch, he thought it ought to be Dairying, or something like that, that would do them some good. After most of them had spoken and nothing had been decided, Dr. Hand arose to give his view of the subject. (Dr. Hand is, by the way, one of the most ingenious men at the Agricultural and Me- chanical College, and is also something of a magician.) For this reason, when he arose to speak, everyone kept quiet, feeling that he, and he alone, could satisfactorily solve the problem. Gentlemen, said he, this subject is not exactly in my line, still having heard all about the case in hand, I may be able to help some. My idea is this: as all of these boys seem to be able to do something in each one of the present courses, but not enough in any one to make a success of it; I think that a course composed of all, or a part of the present courses would fit the case. As to what this course should be called, or as to what should be taught in it, I will have to resort to magic to find out. Before I make any further plans in regard to this, I would like to know if the Faculty is in favor of this idea. When a vote was taken, it was found that all agreed that his plan was the best, but before they decided on it, they wanted to know what the rest of it was and how he intended to find out what this course should be. Well, he said, the idea is this. Next Monday, when the Faculty has its regular meeting, I want every member to bring some- thing representative of his department. I wish also to have any of the instructors who want to contribute to bring on anything they have which they think will help solve this problem. The meeting was adjourned until the next Monday. When the fateful day came, Dr. Hand prepared a large re- tort and carried it over to the President ' s office. It was put in the middle of the floor, and each member, as he came in, was instructed to place his contribution in it. Many and varied were the things that were brought. -One Hundred and Ninety-one 909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. President Hardy came first, and cast in this sentence: Never do anything which if done by all would result in harm. Next came Dr. Magruder. He cast in a worn copy of Treas- ure Island. Dr. Walker put in a mixture of radius of gyration and mo- ment of inertia. Neither one of these elements were afterward found in the mixture. Next came Prof. Ard. He came on the run and put into the retort a volt hot from the line. Prof. Barnes next came in with something carefully concealed under a cloth. A glimpse as it passed into the retort showed it to be a toy automobile. Prof. Hutchinson donated a bunch of cotton filled with burs. It is thought -this identical bunch of cotton and burs has appeared on the head of one of the students of the new department. Prof. Lloyd brought a grasshopper. This has also shown up in one or two of the later students of the new course. Prof. Herbert brought in an economic function and delicately placed it in the retort. Prof. Brown threw in a negative amount of drawing ability; at least, it is supposed he d;d, as that is all that has ever shown up representative of his department in the new course. Prof. Maxwell, of course, put in a worn-out joke, which has had a remarkable showing. Prof. Garner put in a member of the Preparatory Department that he wished to get rid of. Prof. Darnell, a little, very little of the dramatic environment. Prof. Routten, a curl and a little music. He was seen to put the curl in, but as to whether he put the music in or not is another thing. If he did, let us hope that he will not waste any more of it that way. Prof. Smith put in a negative amount of horse sense. Prof. Meadows, a cotton raveling. Prof. Clothier ;asf in a twig from the Robena pecundacotia. Col. Goodale contributed a liberal amount of sticking abil- ity, along with a few punishment tours. Prof. Bowen put in a sentence of Dutch that Dr. Hand could not read, so we have no means of knowing what it was. Prof. Perkins, a little scab pest. Dr. Noel came in last; he brought in a whole handful of No. 44s and put them in. We have not mentioned all of the professors that contributed, but only those that Dr. Hand could remember. There were many he had forgotten. When all had been stirred up in a gallon of sul- phuric acid, the retort was sealed up and carried over to the Lab- oratory. Here Dr. Hand placed it in an electric furnace and left it under a high heat for twenty-four hours. It was then taken back to the President ' s office. A meeting of the Faculty was called and everything was made ready for the final process. The members of the Faculty were all placed on one side of the room, while Dr. Hand with the large retort was on the opposite side. Behind him was a white background. All ready, gentlemen? said he. He then at once pronounced some magical words (which I tried to get him to tell me, but he would not), broke the seal of the retort, and cast in some sulphur. Look in the smoke, he said. Smoke had begun to rise from the chemical reaction going on, and in this smoke the astonished Faculty read the letters of fire— PEDAGOGICAL. Newton, ' 09. — One Hundred and Ninety-two 1909. REVEILLE.

There was no man in College who had ever played a game at quarter, and considerable shifting was done before the team was finally settled. Captain Furman was injured early in -the season, and that, coupled with the inexperience of the team as a whole, re- sulted invariably in the loss of games. The strength of the team can be estimated only by its showing in the only game that really counts — the University of Mississippi versus Agricultural and Me- chanical College game. The overwhelming defeat of the University covers all the past. At the same time it breaks all records and precedents. For the first time we have beaten them in two succssive years, for the first time since 1 90 1 we are ahead in total scores, and 44 to 6 is by far the greatest score ever made in the annual contest.

Miss McMicheal, Sponsor. Coach McGeorge. Captain Furman. Manager Dorroh. Varsity. H. B. Furman, Captain. Capt. Furman has scored more touchdowns for Agricultural and Me- chanical College than any man who has worn her colors for an equal length of time since football began here. For the first time in three years, in- juries compelled him to witness games from the side lines. The scores show how sorely his absence was felt. Ri- val teams will rejoice to hear that he will not be back next year. Dorroh, Manager. Dorroh is the guard in a thousand who can interfere for a runner. His defensive power is only a part of his worth; against the University he un- aided lightened the work of his team- mates by advancing the ball upwards of a hundred yards, and mother has- n ' t spoken to father since. € ' y M M A L- i 4 m jlmH m 1 WW ' e1 BlLLINGSLEY, CAPT. ELECT. Billingsley made the team at the very close of the season, but when he did finally arrive, his advent marked the coming of a new star in the firma- ment of the team. His performance at Jackson resulted in a unanimous call to the captaincy for 1909. He will make a brilliant quarter and a good leader. Pollard, Mgr. Elect. Pollard played fierce football all the season. At Jackson he broke the heart of the University of Mississippi team the first time he carried the ball through their line for fifteen yards, under the shadow of his own goal. He duplicated the performance when- ever it was necessary. ■ — ' - wo Hundred and Seven Garrison. Garrison completed the irresistible tandem that overwhelmed the Univer- sity and drove so many brave hearts to despair. He was the Fastest man on the squad, and continually threat- ened the opponents ' goal. His end- running and interference will be long remembered and sorely missed, for hs, too, will be missing next season. Rose. Rose is the best defensive end to be found in days of travel. He is light; but his courage gives determina- tion, and an unselfish spirit makes him invaluable. The University backs will testify that it is energy wasted to try to circle his end. J McInnis. Savely. Mclnnis closed a brilliant and va- Savely played his first game this ried career. This veteran of many sea- year, but he played it, and all suc- sons has played end, full-back, guard, ceeding games, well. He has hrmt- and tackle. He always acquitted him- less strength and endurance; with a self in a manner to add luster to his little more experience he will be sec- own reputation and renowu to his ond to none. Next season he will be Alma Mater. the mainstay of the team. —Two Hv ri ' lred o.rul Eight Woodward. Woodward. Woodward has great strength and weight and a good head; but this was his first year, and he scarcely realized the destruction he can work. He lacks only experience to shine in all depart- ments. He and Savely bore the brunt of our offensive, for our tandem attack was behind them. That fact bespeaks the confidence reposed in them. Knight. Morris. Knight. Knight also played his first game this year. He was a deadly open field tackier, and on the defensive played the back position, where his fine work saved many a touchdown. He has marvelous speed and made consistent gains with the ball. Hearn. Hearn, the left-handed pitcher, is the only man on the team who has made a baseball M. His passing is clean and accurate and his defence fine. He was the youngest man on the team, and was handicapped by a bad knee, but, in spite of disadvant- ages, he contributed a full share to cur success. Morris. Morns has unlimited confidence in himself, and generally makes good. Not content with playing in both line and back field, when we needed a pun- ter, he undertook that also. Misfor- tune pursued him throughout the sea- son. His quality is indicated by the fact that he played two-thirds of the Tulane game with a dislocated ankle, and then refused to take an anesthetic when Dr. Noel reduced the dislocation. Ferguson. Ferguson gave us unqusnchable enthusiasm and unlimited good humor. ! He substituted Captain Furman and didn ' t get as good a chance to show | his worth as he desired. However, J after the L. S. U. game he was never heard to repeat the wish that he would get a good hard bump, just to see how it would feel. He is a nervy, stocky fellow, an adroit dodg- er, and hard to catch in an open field.

With these old men and a good squad of new man which Coach Plass brought out, we boast of having the best team in the history of the College. The season opened on the 2 1 st of March with the Columbus Cotton States Leaguers, our men taking four out of five games from them. In this series Willie Mitchell, our star southpaw, let the Leaguers down with a no-hit, no-run game, setting a record for the season. Although we were very successful in this series, it was at a great cost. McCargo, our center fielder and leading batter of the previous year ' s team, sprained his ankle, not recovering the use of it during the season. Luck seemed against us, for a little later Hearn and Smith became sick with the mumps and were unable to take the trip through Alabama and Georgia, which began March 3 1 si, wjth Southern University at Greensborough, Ala., where we won one, lost one, and called one game at the end of the fourth inning on account of darkness. The next series was wif ' n Auburn, where we dropped three straight; going from there to Macon, Ga., we allowed them to get revenge for the beating we gave them in football the previous fall, losing two games and winning one. By this time the players, especially the pitchers, were worked down, sometimes riding half the night and playing double headers the next day. Consequently we dropped two to Marion, tying the third game. After returning home we were joined by Smith and Hearn, giving the other pitchers a chance to rest. From then on it was easy going for us, winning fourteen out of seventeen games, not losing a series. Among these teams were some of our old rivals, L. S. U., S. P. U., Drury, Ouachita, and University of Mississippi. 1 he series wi. ' h the Llmversity of Mississippi, our most rivaled team, began on the 1 3th of May, Willie Mitchell pitching first game, Icsmg 3-2 in a hard-fought battle, the game never being de- cided up until the eighth inning, v hen the opponents ran in three scores. The second game was pitched by Captain B. Mitchell, win- ning it 3 to 0, tying the teams in numbers of games won. The third game was to be played in Meridian on the 15th, the following day, but was never played, on account of the rain. Now that the baseball season of ' 09 is nearly here, and pros- pects good, we expect to decide that tie. All of last year ' s team are back except Dent, who was our catcher last year. There will be C ' av and Manager McCargo in right and center field. Captain B. Mitchell and Hearn alternating in left field, Whitten third base, Lucas second base, Lenoir short-stop, Russell first base, McClellan doing the receiving, and Willie Mitchell, Captain B. Mitchell, Hearn, Smith, and Martin the pitching. The men I have named are good and have had coaching, but of course any scrub that beats them or shows up better gets the position. There is Hardy, who is expected to make us a valuable man, and ohers who are also good. Several of last year ' s scrubs are back this year and will make the regulars go some for their posi- tions. Among these are Carr, Gurganus, Walton, Mullins, Earnest, Chisolm and others. — Two Hundred and Fifteen 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. Schedule and Record for 1 908.

Vol. V. J. W. McClellan. McClellan, alias Mike, Micky, the Irishman, came from Durant, Mississippi, to this great school in the autumn of 1906. The following spring he made the position of catcher. Ever since he has been a member of the team as the man who dons the ' mitt and mask. As a catcher Mike is second to almost none. His wing to second base is such that it means death to the run- ner who attempts to steal. Mike has a standing offer to pin a medal on every man who successfully steals the second-bag. He is a good hitter and a good in-fielder, having played several posi- tions when regular men were forced to be out of the game. Mike has such jolly, good-natured Irish ways that he makes friends wherever he goes. He, too, has a fondness for thea- toriums, especially in Atlanta, Ga. C. H. Russell. Rusty is from Laurel, Mississippi, where many good ball- players have developed. He is a good first-baseman, knowing sev- eral of the fine points about playing the initial bag. He is our principal hitter— he hits them too, but he is not too fast on bases. He has an extra good wing and can peg as true as the best of them. Our only objection to Rusty is that he is never on time, his motto being, Never get there too soon. W. Y. Lucas. Baby, a name we gave him because he is so small, hails from Starkville, where he has been a member of the team for sev- eral years. Baby covers second base and is one of the surest fielding second-basemen in the Southern Intercollegiate Association. His hitting is fair, but he is deficient in speed, being handicapped by a broken ankle. Baby is little but loud. He makes a hit with the girls wherever he goes, always winning their sympathy on account of being such a tiny man. Smith. Smith is from Shubuta, Miss., where rocks and game are plentiful. He says he has thrown many a solid day at birds and rabbits, and in th;s way developed an iron arm, but Whitten says it ' s a stone arm. His arm is never tired, and we think the story must be true. Smith is a good pitcher, but he didn ' t have the chance to make his M, on account of being taken sick with mumps just before we left on the Eastern trip last year. Smith is a good man to have on the bench as well as in the game, because he roots so well. His favorite yell is, Shuckens alive! boys, hit a ' come run home ' score. — Two Hundred and Nineteen 909.

REVEILLE. Vol. V. Basket-Bail of 1909. This phase of Athletics is also young in our College, 1 907 being our first year to take part in it. Since then the game has be- come very popular, even the classes are represented by good teams. Until this season only one game had been played by our team, and at this time we had no coach, and of course the team was weak in many ways. This season Coach Werner is with us and is doing good work. He has had a good squad out since his first call for volunteers. From this bunch he has selected a good team, two of the players being football men: Garrison and Captain Furman. These men have played the game before and are as good as you find anywhere, Furman playing at center, and Garrison at guard. Hale and Simmons are new men, but make a sure pair of forwards, both of them being among the best in the Association goal-shoot- ers. Hardy plays the other guard and works like an old head. He and Garrison make a good pair of guards, playing well together. Basketball Schedule fcr 1909. January 1 — C. A. A., on campus. January 22 — B. A. A., on campus. January 23 — B. A. A., at Columbus.

REVEILLE. Vol. V. The Track Team of 1 908. The Track Team of 1 908 was very successful, considering the age of this phase of Athletics in our College. The first team was put out in 1907 and was the best in this State its first year, taking more points than the University of Mississippi at the Inter- collegiate Track Meet. Under the management of Captain Gunning and suggestions from Coach Furman, the men were gotten into good training and on the 1 7th of April, Field Day was held on our campus. In this way the best men were selected, and the following represented Agri- cultural and Mechanical College at Baton Rouge, La., in the In- tercollegiate Track Meet held on Louisiana State University ' s cam- pus: Captain Gunning, Fletcher, Pollard, Jones, Cloose, Deale, Yeates, Holmes, Cutrer, Hopkins, and Pinkston. Hopkins and Cutrer were the only men who failed to make any points, 43 being made by our team. Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College were the only contestants, University of Mississippi default- ing to Agricultural and Mechanical College, Louisiana State Uni- versity winning the meet by a small margin. The 1 909 prospects seem to be good, several of the old men being back. Under the direction of Coach Werner and management of Pollard, we expect to put out a team that can compete with the best. There are sev- eral new men that look good, and we are expecting great things of the following old men: Captain Fletcher, Manager Pollard, Jones, Searles, Downing, Watson, and Gardner, who showed up well last year. Track Team Record at Intercollegiate Meet Gunning — Won -mile, 3d place in 100-yard dash, 2d place in running broad jump, 9 points. Fletcher — Won I -mile and 4-mile race, 1 points. Pollard — Won discus, 2d place in shot-put, 3d place in ham- mer-throwing, 9 points. Jones — Tied for broad jump, 4 points. Cloose — 2d place in low hurdle, 2d place in 220-yard dash, 3d place in -mile race. Deale — 2d place in high hurdles, 3 points. Yeates — 3d place in high jump, 1 point. Holmes — 3d place in pole vault, 1 point. Pinkston — 3d place in 1 -mile race, 1 point. — Two Hundred and Twenty-three 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College Tennis Club. Tennis began to take part in Athletics in 1904 and has held a prominent position since then. Having played the tournament off for the season with Blanton and Didlake in the doubles, Blanton singles, games were arranged with University of Mississippi and Mississippi College. The Mississippi College game was defaulted and the University game was played on their own court on April 12th, scores being: University of Mississippi 6 — 6 — 8 Agricultural and Mechanical College 2 — 4 — 6 We hope that this will be our last defeat from University of Mississippi. On May 10th Agricultural and Mechanical College was represented in the Southern Intercollegiate Association at At- lanta Club, Atlanta, Ga. On account of marked difference of courts, our boys could not do their best work; still they were always in the game. As we have enrolled a number of new men this season, pros- pects are bright for a winning team. Blanton will not be with us this year, but Didlake will work for first place again, and from the new material now developing will be found a good partner for him in the doubles. We are trying for games with Millsaps Col- lege, Mississippi College, University of Mississippi, and other col- leges in the State, and also hope to play in the S. I. A.

Vol V. 1909 Calendar. Board of Publication. M. T. Birch, Chairman. A. E. LlNDLEY. A. E. MULLINS. THE CALENDAR, an annual publication gotten out at the beginning of the session, is edited by a Board chosen from the local Young Men ' s Christian Association. The purpose is to incorporate the literary, athletic, academic, military, and other interest- ing features of our College in an artistic form with the calendar of the year. The 1909 Calendar, the first artistically and financially successful calendar to be gotten out here in years, ranks second to none in the South in beauty and originality. We feel proud indeed to say that our CALENDAR is ranked with similar publications of Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Pennsylvania, and other large Northern universities. With no capital to begin work with, an unfortunately late start, and every possible obstacle placed in the way as far as photo- graphic and artistic work was concerned, the Editorial Board, by Herculean effort, succeeded in producing a calendar surpassing by far any ever before attempted at this College. The Board of Publication owes much to the members of the Faculty for their earnest co-operation in this enterprise, and partic- ularly to President Hardy and Professor F. C. Bolton, without whose aid it would have been well-nigh impossible to overcome many of the difficulties so persistent in presenting themselves in an undertaking of this kind.

The air is laden with perfume of wild flowers, and all is still — all save the gentle purring murmur of the Canadian, the deep and wide Canadian. From the sky the pale moon in virgin splendor looks down upon the tiny Indian village nestling close to the banks of the giant river. Presently the flap to a small wigwam is pushed aside and a lovely Creek maiden steps forth into the moonlight, her raven hair pushed back from the face all aglow with happiness. She holds out her small brown hands in silent greeting to the twinkling stars and the moon, and then, advancing a few steps, stands gazing into the silvery waters of the deep Canadian, which flows peacefully over the graves of her fathers and brothers. But Noleta is not un- happy, not lonely at the sight of the river. Her heart is very full of Watumka, and she murmurs: Noleta very happy. Big chief, Watumka, brave warrior, tall poplar, fearless Creek, love his little Noleta. He no have Lecele [Lucile] for his squaw. She heap much love Watumka, but he love his little Creek. Thus she pours out her heart to the deep sympathizing river, and is so much lost in her thoughts that she does not hear stealthily approaching footsteps until quite near. Indianly instinctive, she turns about in a flash. Who is it she perceives in the moonlight with upraised knife, a tigress about to spring upon the unsuspecting Noleta? The Creek maiden realizes all at a glance. The woman who has endeavored to charm Watumka to the pale-face settlement seeks the life of the one obstacle to the performance of will. Pale-face have come, dares Noleta, her dark eyes expressing untold hatred of a passionate nation. Pale-face have come to see Noleta. Pale- face is much at home. The woman, silent for a moment, bursts out fearfully, I seek Watumka, Noleta. And here Watumka. The voice of the Creek warrior fair echoed the pale woman ' s brazen lie. The big brave had seen the stealthy approach of the white woman through the moonlight and had followed her to where she encountered Noleta by the river. The white woman, speaking first, broke the silence with a com- mand to the chief to take her back to her home and friends. How fair she looked to-night! Watumka thought of the unconquerable race whose daughter she was. He thought too of how strong a hand a son of his must have to keep the struggling remnant of his race together. Little Noleta sinks upon the ground at the feet of the man she loves. Tearfully she pours out her love for him in the beau- tiful Creek language, the tongue of Watumka ' s father and his fa- ther ' s fathers. Watumka, the brave warrior, the chief of the Creeks, is si- lent, lost in thought. An owl hoots thrice in the dark tangle, then hoots again, the moonlight splashes across the rippled surface of the dark Canadian. The report of a rifle rings out. Suddenly, from his girdle the chief snatches his tomahawk. The moon glints blind- ing for a second on its uplifted surface. Then — The Canadian flows deep to the sea, murmuring of the tragic scene enacted on its banks far up in the Creek Nation. The river murmurs of the grave of a woman it tenderly caresses as it passes the camp of Watumka, murmurs but never tells whether that grave be of a white or copper woman. Watumka knows, and his squaw, and the river, but they tell not. M. T. B.. ' 09. — Two Hundred and Forty-seven 1909. REVEILLE. Vol. V. Golden Age of Twenty-One. When a man is old and gray, And his life ' s work ' s passed away ; Then he thinks of former days When he was young. Then his tide of life has turned, And his laurels justly earned, Lightly resting on his brow, Mean work well done. But he thinks of life to be, And his heart is light and free, When he ' s at the golden age Of twenty-one. But a man must never stop, Striving upward toward the top, When he ' s at the golden age Of twenty-one. K., ' 09. — Two Hundred and Forty-eight 1909. REVEILLE.

The Young Men ' s Christian Association was organized at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Mississippi in 1 882. Since that time it has been the center of the Christian life in the College. Students are realizing as never before that the aim of the Young Men ' s Christian Association is to develop — not an organization whose membership is composed of weak, effeminate, goody-goody men, but an organization made up of virile, strong, clean, Christian men — men whose motives are actuated by principles of justice and right. The scope of work of the Young Men ' s Christian Association is wide and varied. Every man has an opportunity to enter into the various phases of work and thereby become stronger and better equipped to meet and fight life ' s battles. What are some of the Association ' s activities? Religious meetings are held every Sunday evening. These meetings are usually conducted by students or mem- of the Faculty, the average attendance this year being something over one hundred men. Prayer-meetings are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings of each week. These meetings are wonderfully helpful, training men for leadership in religious life. There is an average attendance at these meetings of more than fifty men. More than twenty volunteer Bible classes, led by students, meet weekly. 7 hese leaders are trained by Professors in Normal classes. There has been an enrollment of over two hundred men in Bible study. The interest in Missions is not what it should be, there being only forty-five men enrolled in Mission Study. The social life has been emphasized more this year than ever before. A number of enter- tainments in Starkville have been given. The homes of the Faculty have been opened to Bible and Mission Study classes for receptions. The enrollment this year has been nearly 50 per cent of the student body. May we work harder to gain the esteem of the en- tire College community, and make every student feel that he has a part in the Association work. — Two Hundred and Fifty-four Officers Young Men ' s Christian Association. 1909.

O days, how with reluctant, clinging fingers We should loose you from our hold. How, as the greedy miser lingers, lingers. Loath to spend his coins of gold, We, grudging, should live your precious hou s. Dropping each one with a sigh. How closely we should hoard your precious flowers Now so carelessly flung by. Could we but know how, in the coming seasons, When life ' s ardors droop forlorn, And rapine-smoke of Time ' s invading treasons Blurs the clearness of the morn. How we, with sighs and thoughts of bitter leaven Working in our cup of cares. Shall learn that once we sojourned blind in heaven,. And walked with angels unawares ; And how we shall, with tears of stormy flowing. Throw our faces in the sands, Seeing we looked back to watch your going, Nor held your parting hands ! M. T.

The John Sharp Williams Club of Economic and Social Sci- ence was organized during the session of 1904-05, and, as tne name suggests, a Club organized for the study of those economic, civic, and social questions that demand the attention of Mississippi and the Nation. The membership during a session is limited to ten; graduates retain their membership. Each year a certain question is selected for study, and all facts pertaining to every side of it are presented from an unbiased view- point. Prominent men are invited to talk before the Club each year, and in this way the members are enabled to get definite views from different persons. The question for study during the session of 1908-09 is Mis- sissippi for Mississippians. All economic, civic, and social sides of it are studied from practical and unprejudiced viewpoints. In the language ol the Hon. John Sharp Williams in his speech before the Club, the object of the Club is to prepare its members not to drift in the boat, but either to steer or to help at the oar. -Two Hundred and Sixty-six 1909.

The Collegians, representative of all classes, is an association of the strong men of the College banded together to make life worth the living at this school. It is a replica of similar organizations in other institutions, most exclusive in its membership — a limit of twenty in the cadet corps. Every phase of college life is emphasized, from military through all to social. Composed of the leaders of the different phases of life in the College community, it assumes the dictatorial. The social side of life at this College, heretofore sadly neg- lected, is indeed toned by the Collegian banquet and dances each month. . — Two Hundred and Seventy-one 909. REVEILLE Vol. V.

Vol. V. Examination in General Engineering. May 20. 1909. Time — Until Grudie Finishes. I. Define the term General Engineering. Answer. It is a science which treats of the timely (?) run- ning of the M. O. dummy between Starkville and Artesia, fre- quent stops of Professor Barnes between Starkville and the Campus, and the College ' s system of telescopic stars, meekly twinkling — called electric lights. II. What is the greatest engineering feat of modern times? A. Equally divided between the Panama Canal and the wa- ter supply system of the City of Starkville. III. Enumerate causes of boiler explosions, and state how same may be avoided. A. The foremost cause for boiler explosion is that the boiler plates break. There are other causes also. To prevent boiler explosions put rings around the boiler in ques- tion. This treatment is very rare. IV. State the advantages of the pneumatic riveting machine. A. The pneumatic riveting machine always knows when to give a squeeze in the right place. V. Define and give practical applications of Analytic Me- chanics. A. Analytic Mechanics is the study which enables us to out- run a bullet when on a poultry raid. Its main application is in getting us from Artesia to the Campus when there is no train to meet us. The calculus involved aids us in hiding the handcar be- hind innumerable signs of integration. Also enables us to deter- mine the largest chicken we may put in a laundry-bag without knowing the size of the bag. It is a very valuable study. VI. What is a Gas Engine? A. It consists of a fly-wheel, cylinder, and a bunch of oil- cups. To start, first turn on the oil-cups and then crank. If you don ' t succeed, be sure to get someone to crank for you (preferably Rose) . VII. What improvements would you suggest in our course to make it more nearly conform to the actual needs of the engineer? Answers : Foster — Furnish each student one automobile and gasoline for actual experience. Magruder — Abolish recitations and practical, and let ' s all sleep up a bit. Thomas — Drop Math. and take ud Domestic Science. Moncrief — Use pure alcohol in all Lab. gas engines. Koch — An elective in Bible study would add materially to the interest in the course. Bennett — Have beer on tap and a brass band in the machine shop. It will make practical work more interesting. — Tico Hundred and Xinety-threp A. E.
