HUNTER ROBERTSON BRADLEY Yazoo City, Miss. School of Englneehing. Learned is he that studieth, Bui o ' ertaxeth not Jus endurance. Dopey, a standard antitoxin for pessi- mism, prides himself on being a soldier of the front rank on the military field. During his three years here he has had the honor of being an officer only once, due to the fact that he is inclined to turn a deaf ear to the early morning bugles, and consequently his official career was cut short. The only vul- nerable point in the career of our friend Dopey lies in his tendency to read too much at night. He props his feet upon a table so that his blood will flow to his head, and sits there until the lights go out. Dopey came here in the year 1911 and entered Soph- omore, and has been attending duties at this institution ever since. We feel sure that this institution will not regret having enrolled him as a student, but will be proud of the fact that it has fitted another strong shoul- der to be placed against the wheel of com- petition. George Rifles; M. A. S. E. ROBERT MOORE BRIDGFORTH Pickens, Miss. Bachelor op Science i r Agriculture Lost, lost, I know not where, (hie beautiful lock of golden hair. Bob, as be is known by bis classmates, joined us at the beginning of our Sophomore year and since that time has proven himself an excellent student. He is a great lover of the fair sex although he never lets society in- terfere with his work, specially his military duties. Though he has never attained bis military desire (Second Lieutenant) at col- lege, he intends to continue his military ca- reer in another environment in the near fu- ture. As an entomologist he has won many laurels. We know Bob will make a suc- cess at anything he undertakes, but he will never he satisfied until he is displaying some of his knowledge of agriculture on a farm located near Nashville, Tenn. The height of his ambition we care not to mention, but ask him. Dialectic Literary Society, 1913-1914; George Rifles 1913-1914; Mississippi Sabres; Private Company H.

WALTER THEDFORD BOLTON Biloxi, Miss. Schooi ni Civil Engineering there ' s another world, he tires in bliss; If there is none, he made most of this. Walter, or Doc, as he is best known to us, is the product of our summer resort. To this we attribute his desire for a good time. He has been a star of the greatest magni- tude in everything that lie has undertaken, and especially lias he made a reputation as a military genius. (?) Doe is a man of varied tastes and ability. He is a good athlete, as well as a great ad- mirer of the fair sex. However, the girl has not as yet arrived upon the scene. Bol- ton ' s good nature and loyalty to his friends have made him one of the niosl popular men in our class. His ambition is to he a great engineer, and it is our most sincere hope that he may succeed. President Gulf Coast Counties ' Club; George Rifles; M. A. S. E.; Y. M. C. A. TEDDIE IRL BOZEMAN School or Industrial Educauion Though you have old age, make yourself a young man. Chicken Bozeman, better known as Ted, hails from Prentiss, Miss. This youngster appeared in our Sophomore year. He had tried liis hand at several other colleges out was never satisfied until he found himself drilling in the rear ranks of one of our mili- tary companies. Ted is particularly fond of this place, and would no! go home during the Christmas holidays, hut stayed here to preserve military discipline. One night dur- ing tin ' holidays he had his squad out ma- neuvering among the goats. Someone came upon them, and they tell up here that Ted ran, hut we don ' t believe a word id ' it, though he did have a broken finger the next morn- ing. Though he was far hack in the sticks when we found him we have tamed him to a certain degree, and we are lucky in finding such a man. We hope some day to see him a prosperous lawyer.

JAMES NEAL BRIEN Vieksburg, Miss. Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Sweet are the uses of adversity Which, like Military, ugly and venomous, Yet wears t precious jewel in its head. Smiley lias many characteristics not possessed by others. He takes great delight in giving an extra military course to those who prepare themselves to take specials in that department. At times he is as calm as an inland lake when a storm is raging, and again he is ruffled by zephyrs that blow from the northeast. He is a profes- sional courtier, but Popularity has been will- fully neglected because of rivalry between her and certain members of a fairer sex. He not only spends much of his time in the performance of his duties as an officer and in holding a position in the front rank of his class in academic work, but somehow he finds time to write letters that require extra postage.

JOHN BUCKLEN BURNS, Ratliff, Miss. Bachelor of Science ix Agriculture Away, to lur a woman bring Street water from affections ' spring. The subject of this sketch hails from Mon- roe County. Of his love affairs and past history we know very little and will be forced to look to tradition for such infor- mation. But we judge that he once had a sw r eetheart in the days when the hoop-skirt was in the ascendency and we doubt not that he will yet play an important part in these days of the slit skirt. Prof, as the boys call him, came to us in mil ' Sophomore yen-, and although seriously handicapped with Freshman work, has made considerable progress which shows bis willingness and capacity for work, two qualities necessary for success. .Masonic Club, 1911-1912; President, 1913- 1911; .Monroe County Club, 1911-1912; Glee Club, 1912-1913; Captain and Commissary, 1913-1914.
