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.

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.
