ELMER C. ALFORD Magnolia, Miss. Sciiooi of I vius ' i ' hiai. Education He that respects himself is safe from others j He wears a coal that none can pierce. This has been true of Alford through his entire college life. He lias done much to raise the dignity of himself, and his class as well. His attire has attracted the eye of many of the fairer sex; but his eoai lias turned all of Cupid ' s darts. He lias shown a great (leal of effort in getting an education, which makes us believe that he will succeed at any- thing he tries. He has been a good student, and has made many friends while here. We understand lliat he is going to study law after he graduates. Mississippi Sabres; Dra matic Club; Y. M. C. A.

JAMES LAWRENCE ALLEN Prairie, Miss. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture The end is to hare two made one In will and affection. Jim is a good-natured and intelligent fellow. lie has always been a hard worker, especially in English, and his love for this subject is evidenced by the many weary years he devoted to the mastery of his native tongue. He has been with us for the past four years and he lias always brought up his end of the work. He never fails to perform his chemical lab, for he usually works alone. During the first three years he was with us Jim ' s room was the hanging-out place of all the loafers of the class, especially when they wanted a smoke. His love affairs were many during this linn, and he was ever ready to discuss them, but one day tins past summer all this came to an abrupl end, for he was joined in matrimony to a fair maiden whom we all know verj well, II was with much regrcl thai we losl Jim from our Bachelor Club, but, of course, we ciuld not object when we though! of the prize he was winning.

WILLIAM HENRY ALDERMAN Brookhaven, Miss. Bachelob of Science in Agriculture The proper slady of mankind is man, The muni perplexing tine is woman. Henry hails from the piny regions of Mis- sissippi, where, according to his statement, the most charming lassies in this broad land dwell. He has had numerous love affairs, but the one that upset him most was when he was jilted by an old maid. At this late day he has come to realize that his heart was really not broken, but only slightly fractured and the scar has now disappeared. He says that he will never fall in love with another old maid as long as there are lassies at the I. 1. C. We can all see him in the near future as a dignified professor who will awaken Lin- coln County to its great future possibilities in agriculture. We wish him success in all of his undertakings.

Bachelor of Science in Agriculture ' Yon beat your pate and fancy wit will come, Knock as you please, there ' s nobody at home Si came to us last year after having re- ceived his A. B. degree from the University of Mississippi. By diligence and persever- ance he has attained the goal. Having a love for rural life he lias been endeavoring to master the science of agriculture. Si is a very versatile young man, as he is an ac- complished actor, tennis player, and an ex- traordinary wit, which, I might say, is of the sturb cone variety. This he inflicts upon those of his friends who like him most. In contrast to most of the class, lie is a con- firmed woman-hater. His ventures among the fair sex have been limited while here, and we do not know the reason why, but sus- pect that he is a man with a past. Another art lie is proficient in is the driving of a horse with ore hand, and on occasion will demonstrate his prowess in this line. Si, we all join in wishing you the great- est of success and hope to see you one of these days published as a great breeder of live stock.

sapi m«i MARCUS MAY ANDERSON Meridian, Miss. School of Civil Exoixelrixg He was a man — take him for all in all; We shall not look iti in his like again, May — the stalwart fellow he is -brought liis travels to an end when in 1900 lie found himself in this Dungeon of Despair, and started on a new trail. He did not know where it would lead, but after a hard jour- ney of five long years he has at last reached the much-sought-for goal. He is a man to be depended upon, and is one who never over- looks the little things, but such is natural with him, being first cousin to Mutt. He is a lad who loves to roam; since coming here his Summers have been spent way up North and in the far West; seems as if an un- known voice calls him. Here ' s a wish to you, ' Shorty, ' hoping that you find the voice and not the echo. Queen City Club, 1909-1910; Lauderdale County Club 1910-1914; M. A. S.

Frivolity and pleasure are things of today; True character the lesl that fadeth not away Red came to us four years ago as a Freshman. Ir is not definitely known how he came to be here, but, just the same, he ' s here and made most of his time. The first day he landed on our campus he gave us the impression of a manly character and a jolly, good-natured fellow; we have not been dis- appointed in him — an ideal scholar. It has been his honor to carry away the Laurels for the highest mark in his section during his entire college career. No one who has met him can say that he •has not enjoyed his congenial smiles and Sage-like expressions. Willie ' s great desire is to become active in the social evolution of Mississippi, believing this to be the potent factor of today. We all join in w ishing him unlimited success. Y. M. C. A.
