1911. REVEILLE. Vol. VII. Richard Hunnington Abbey. . . .Corinth, Miss Agriculture. First Lieutenant Band. Dick began his course here as a Freshman; was absent the greater part of his first year on account of sickness and, as a result, has had an up-hill fight all the way. However, his indom- itable courage and never-die spirit have ena- bled him to overcome all obstacles, and he ex- pects to graduate in June. Dick is an en- thusiastic lover of live stock. His favorites are Angus cattle and Percheron horses. We shall some day be glad to remember him as our class- mate, for his name will surely be numbered among those of the great. Y. M. C.

James Robert Agnew Guntown, Miss. Mechanical Engineering. Second Lieutenant Company B. J. R. is not the most brilliant man in our Class, but he is a consistent worker, and can be depended on to do his part; has a kind, genial disposition, and will do anything to accommo- date a friend. He and Cassey are great pals, and can usually be found somew-here near each other. Girls don ' t seem to appeal to him, al- though he might easily play society if he desired. Saber Company; M. A. S.

191 REVEILLE. Vol. VII. Miss Josephine Kerr. Miss Josephine Kerr Starkville, Miss. IndusU ml Education. Miss Josephine joined us as a Prep and has been a loyal member of the Class at all times. In the class-room she is unusually quiet and reserved, but at home she is a jolly good fellow, and thoroughly understands the art of dispensing true Southern hospitality. It has indeed been a great pleasure to have her as a member of our Class, and we all wish for her the highest possible success, either as a teach- er or as a housekeeper.

1911. REVEILLE. Vol. VII. George Harmon Armstrong Boyle, Miss. Agriculture. First Lieutenant Company B. We have been unable to find a worthier or more noble fellow than George Harmon. He came up from Bolivar County, and has surely been a valuable addition to our Class. George has hosts of friends and the good-will of all who know him ; always greets you with a smile, and was never known to say an unkind word to any- one. Sincerity and truth are exemplified in his daily conduct, for he practices what he preaches, and will some day stand with the highest in his profession.

M. C. A. Cabinet; Representative in Debate at I. I. and C. Ellis C. Baker Brandon, Miss. Mechanical Engineering, First Lieutenant Company M. This quiet and exceedingly modest young fel- low came up to A. and M. from Brandon, in the Ozone district. He is industrious, conscien- tious, and true to his principles, as well as a great lover of innocent fun; believes in studying — not grinding — and is one of the best in his school, as his record will show. In athletics and society he has never taken any great interest, but heart- ily endorses both in moderation. You have but to know Ellis to be his friend, and we shall al- ways keep a warm spot in our hearts for him. M. A. S. E.
