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.

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.

1911. REVEILLE. Vol. VII. Word Hooper Baker Okolona, Miss. Agriculture. Captain Company G. Word came to A. and M. proposing to learn scientific agriculture, and from his record as a student we must admit that he has mastered his course. However, his entire time has not been given to testing soils and classifying bugs. He is one of the classiest dancers in College, and his striking appearance and pleasing address have made him a social favorite. Baker never says a word about his triumphs, but, judging from the pictures which cover his room, he and Cupid are the best of friends. Expects to con- tinue his work in the agricultural world after securing his B.S.

M. C. A. Harris Barnes Taylorsville, Miss.. Agriculture. Captain Company F. The subject of this brief sketch alighted from the train one bright September evening in the fall of 1907. He quietly took his place among us, but in a short time his qualities of natural leadership and manliness placed him in the con- fidence of both Faculty and student body Har- ris has been a good student, and is very fond of military, especially A. and M. drill (?), but his greatest success has been in the social world. To know him is to love him, and the girls who have met him are numerous indeed; yet this handsome lad is generous to all and shows special favors to none.
