1911. REVEILLE. Vol. VII. Archie Valentine Beard. . . . Springville, Miss. Agriculture. Second Lieutenant Company H. Beard is earnest, good-natured, and a friend to everyone. He loves jokes, politics, and girls, and everybody calls him Whiskers He has been a diligent student, and deserves credit for what he has accomplished at A. and M. After graduation he will teach agriculture, but his am- bition has ever been to gain renown as a scien- tific planter, and we hope that he may one day realize the dream of his youth.

He is an important factor in the Band, and believes in tooting his own horn. He is loyal to his friends, a good football-player, and has saved more soles than any man in school ; has escaped the darts of Cupid while at A. and M., but we hear that he was not so lucky in Booneville. A prosperous future shall surely be his. President of ' u ' s Famous Eleven; President Prentiss County Club; President J. U.

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.

1911. REVEILLE. Vol. VII. Harvey McGraw Bizzell. . Asriculturi . Strayhorn, Miss. Captain Company A Harvey began his career at A. and M. as a Freshman. He came to us from the wilds of Northern Mississippi, and his original humor and sterling qualities soon won for him an host of friends, who will always remember him as the best of good fellows. His record as a student is an enviable one, for his class-room work has always been far above the average. We con- gratulate the agricultural world upon gaining such a strong adherent to its cause, for success shall surely be his. Y. M. C.

Marvin Douolass, Broadfoot. . .Dingle, Miss. Mechanical Engineering. Regimental Captain of Commissary. This man has long been known for his quiet, steady habits and his loyalty to his friends. During his College career he has given his entire time to the business of getting an education, and now he is recognized as one of the foremost men of the Class. His record as a student has been unexcelled, and he commands the respect and friendship of every man in College. He loves his work, loves his pipe, but, unfortunately, he does not love the girls. For their sake we hope that he may yet develop a need for at least one of them. Member Bible Study Committee ' o7- ' o8; M. A. S.
