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.

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.

CHARMS SHINAULT BROOKS, Myrtle, Miss. School of Textile Engineering, Mm Ihf happiest moments of your past, Be the saddest moments of your future. Sunny is a product of Union County, and resides in the city of Myrtle. He joined our class in the year of 1910, and has been a loyal member since. Charlie wears an everlasting smile, and on only one occasion did it fade, No Colonel! No Sir, I wasn ' t asleep; that quilt just happened to he on my trunk. No Sir, Honest, I Wasn ' t. Sunny is well known by the fair of Stark- ville, though we can ' t say that he specialized on any one of the above named city. It may he interesting to state that he spends some of his time addressing letters to Co- lumbus. In academic and military work he spends most of his leisure time, never fail- ing to utilize every moment, altho at times he has to resort to the dreams of the future better still Futuress. May his life be as bright as his nickname implies, and when we next see him we hope to find success in- terwoven into his name.

Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Silence tl the proper time is wisdom, and better than any speech. Gus hails from the metropolis city, which has furnished so many good men to the A. M. College. He has been here since 1910 and we find him up to the standard in everything. His genial smile has won for him many friends while here. Gus is not a ladies ' man, yet he is not blind to the charms of the fair sex. This was shown by a little episode which happened during bis Junior year, which caused him a heartache or two. Dairying is his special work, and we think he is proficient enough to take charge of some dairy establishment in the Philippine Islands. We feel sure that he will succeed in his chosen profession for he is very fond of animals, especially goats and horses. May he live long to en- joy the success that is sure to come to one with as much ability as he. President Lauderdale County Club; Agri- cultural Club; Junior Basket Ball Team, 1911-1912; Y. M. C.
