1911. REVEILLE. Vol. VII. Sam Byall Winterville, Miss. Agriculture. Second Lieutenant Company B. Sam came to us in the fall of 1907. He never boasts of his mental ability, but he has been one of the leaders of his Class during his entire college career. His generous nature, and pleasant, genial manner, have won for him a host of friends while here in school. Sam always wears a smile and seems perfectly happy. This is a mystery to Harris, who can ' t under- stand how a man who has never become en- tangled in the web of Cupid can really enjoy life. Sam has accepted a fellowship in the Chemical Department, and upon completion of the course here will pursue his studies in Johns Hopkins. Swamp Rabbits ' 07-11; Pee Wee Baseball ' 07-08; Y. M. C. A. S. Clifton Cawthon Texas City, Texas. Electrical Engineering. Second Lieutenant Company D. Clifton, known to his intimate friends as Rip, first drew breath in the little town of Pe- lahatchie. Some years later he heard of the strange and mysterious things that were common at A. and M., so he decided to come up and investigate for himself. His search in the Electrical Department has been very exhaust- ive, and to-day he is a well-equipped electrician and thoroughly understands his business. His social stunts have been rather spasmodic, but he knows ' all the pretty girls by sight. Says he has never been in love, but blushes guiltily at the mention of New 7 Orleans Y. M. C. A.; M. A. S.

REVEILLE. Vol. VII. Wiggins Harry Buckley Wesson, Miss. Civil and Mining Engineering. (Irregular.) Major First Battalion. Buck is a natural leader, and at all times has been one of the most popular men in the Class. Nothing would describe him better than to say that he is an ideal type of The True Southern Gentleman. With his military bearing and his unusual ex- ecutive ability, he might easily gain recognition in the Army of Uncle Sam, but his ambition turns in another direction. He longs to see the results of his labors outlined against the heavens in the form of tall steel sky-scrapers. Should his dreams come true, he will one day be con- nected with one of the largest constructing firms in the South, and also one of the best judges.

I. and C. Alfred Benjamin Butts Artesia, Miss. 1 ml nst rial Education. First Lieutenant and Adjutant Third Battalion. Bennie is one of our social leaders, and, al- though he is very studious at times, he never allows his work to interfere with his social duties. Is also a good military man, and has this year helped to develop one of the best Lee Guard companies ever seen at A. and M. He has been an unusually successful player in the game of hearts, but, from all accounts, he lost his own in the game with Waverly Queen. With- al, he is an excellent fellow, and well liked by everyone.

191 REVEILLE. Vol. VII. Thomas Clarence Cobb .... Pine Valley, Miss. Industrial Education. First Lieutenant Company D. Tom, ' ' better known as Deutsch or Ty, has been accused of being an Irishman, but he defies anyone to prove the charge. One of the best all-around men in the Class; is at home on the stage, and his record as an amateur actor or actress (?) is hard to surpass. Ty has not only found time to engage in all College activities, but has also managed to finance himself through school. He is short only in stature, while his universal popularity marks him as one of the best in the bunch. Dialectic Literary Society; President Second Term; Teachers ' Club; Normal Club; Reflector Board; Y. M. C. A. ' Eddie E. Cohen Summit, Miss Agriculture. Private Company F. Eddie L came to us before we came ourselves. He would have graduated while most of us were strutting around as Freshies or Sophs had he not lost several years. His adversities, however, only gave him greater ambitions. He is now planning to start a cattle-ranch in Tex- as. No doubt he will soon have a monopoly of that industry and have the beef trust begging for mercy. He has been a very industrious stu- dent, but not a grind.
