• g JhE-RE BILLB- ISUa Sgr ' JOHN WILSON CARPENTER. Starkville, Miss. Civil and Mining Engineering. First Lieutenant Company K. Johnnie. as we prefer to call him, is one of our most energetic and persistent boys, never giving up until the task is completed. If there is something in a lesson that he doesn ' t fully understand, that familiar expression, Er ' Fessor, is sure to come forth, bringing with it the desired explanation. Few men among us have the power to make and keep friends as does John. He is one of the most popular men in our class, with the fellows and the fair ones as well. Although a member of good standing in the Engineering school, his highest ambition is to own and operate an improved farm where he can spend the remainder of his days near Dad. Here ' s to you, John, wishing you a most successful career in whatever field you choose to labor. Y. M. C. A., ' 11- ' 12; M. A. S. E.. ' 11- ' 12; Town Preps.
