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.

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 PATTERSON AMES Clarendon, Va. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Stiver to prosper than prosperity could litter assured us. Sunshine first visited A. M. during the summer of 1908. After once getting his feet planted on Mississippi soil he was too healthy a specimen to be returned to his home in the Old Dominion State. For two years he strode to and from school in Stark- ville with the campus children. While not a ladies ' man, he has a weakness for higa school girls. It was not long after entering college that he was given the n ame of Sun- shine, which is a very appropriate title. 1 Ic is big all over and has ample foundation to uphold his body. lie likes to go, and enjoys a good time if anybody does. He gives fair play and always impresses one and all with his heartv. wholesoul good nature. Whether to the Philippines, Panama, or what foreign part; whether to batch it, but more likely not, we wisli him our happiest good wishes.

His broad smile is his greatest asset, and is ever beaming on friend and foe. His jovial and open-hearted manner lias won him mam friends during his sojourn here. His one se- erel is his middle name, which lie absolutely refuses to reveal, even to his best friends. Baker ' s ambition is to secure an apprentice- ship with the Westinghouse Electric Com- pany, where he may rise to the height of fame in the electrical world. M. A. S. E. ; Cosmopolitan Club.
