ruN STANLEY DEUPREE CARPENTER, Sessums, Miss. Bachelor of Science and Agriculture. His heart is one of those which most enamours us, Wax to receive and marble to retain. Pee Wee, the unsophisticated essence of pure runti tidiness that we all know him to be, hails from our sister city Sessums. He is of noble character, honest and upright in all things, and having on the whole a rather studious nature: Through four years of strenuous toil he has never given up or said I can ' t, but has always held his own and we all feel sure that the future has many good things in store for him. His main view in life is to have a large farm all his own, and find the one needed to help him run it. Pee Wee has many friends at the college and in Starkville. May he live up to the standard he has set, and ever he prosperous, is the sincere wish of his classmates. George Rifles; Ye Runts; Town Preps Football Team; Y. M. C.

School of Electrical Engixeeuixo And I pray yon lei none of your people stir me ; I hare an exposition of sleep come upon me. Jim has had military aspiration, and it has been rumored that he came once near being Lieutenant-Colonel, that is he applied for the job, but alas! the wheel of fortune turns in more than one direction. However, he has outgrown this tendency and shows a marked aversion to all things military; es- pecially reveille and inspections. There are few students in the class who are more hospitable or generous and very few who can excel him in commercial and political ability, but his chief and most marked char- acteristic is his ability to create fiction rela- tive to his adventures in the far West. Jim has a very distinguished bearing, and when in Citz is frequently taken, by visit- ors on the campus, for one of the professors. His work in the class room and laboratory is a source of wonder to Prof. Reid and his classmates. We think that Jim aspires to the commercial end of his chosen profession, and no doubt he has chosen wisely, for his greatest capability seems to lie along this line, and the valuable training he has pre- viously received ought to enable him to monopolize and dominate the electrical in- dustry in a very few years after graduation.

WILLIAM MARK BYNUM, Sessums, Miss. School of Electrical Engineering There are some silent people ' who are more interesting than the best talkers. This quiet and exceedingly modest young fellow came to A. M. from the cosmopoli- tan little city of Sessums, Miss., in Fhe Fall of 1910. Lie is known as Bill among his classmates, and his easy going and affable manner has won him many friends. Efficiency and thoroughness are predominant char- acteristics of his class room work. Although lie has never been an enthusiast of athletics or society yet he believes in them when em- ployed in moderation. That treacherous little fellow, Cupid, has never been able to claim him as inn- of his victims; however, we are informed that he came very near falling from grace on one occasion, the mention of which in his presence accentuates the nat- urally ms hue of his plump cheeks. Bill procures his degree in E.E. this year, and it is his ambition to employ his E.E. skill in the construction and operation of the Ses- sums Railroad, Light and Power Company. We feel quite confident that this ambition will be realized in the years to come. Bill is well equipped to enter the battle of life, and we feel certain thai he will emerge from it the winner of main victories. M.A.S.E.; Oktibbeha County Club; V. M. C.

Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Women ' s looks his only books .lint follies all thiii taught him. . lawn ' s career at this institution began when man ' s mind runneth not to the con- trary. After much toil he graduated from the Engineering Department in 1912, but the following September he entered the Agri- cultural Department. After being in class with him for two years we can see that he is well adapted for this line of work. Jawn ' s -mind wanders at times, or is it his heart:- Although he has never shown violent symptoms all that is necessary is the time, the place, and the girl. On one bright day in November he packed his grip and combed his little mustache and sallied forth to conquer the Mills of .Mississippi. Al- though he has never told us of his con- quests, vet he has said nothing of defeat. When he has nothing else to do he studies agriculture, and in the future we expect to hear of great things accomplished by him at Areola.

JOSEPH OVVALEA CARRAWAY, Liberty, .Miss. School nr Industrial Em; cation 11«P1 !I is the dim n that ftndeth wisdom, And the man thai getteth understanding. Jodie is a worker with all that the term implies, and is especially noted for punctu- ality and accuracy in his work. Though he came to us in our Sophomore year, yet lie soon climbed to an equal standing with the very best in his class. During his college life he has given his entire time to getting an education, and success has been his re- ward. His deportment as a student has been perfect, he being one of the extremely few who never received a single demerit of rep- rimand, nor never failed on a single sub- ject throughout his college career. Jodie has made considerable progress in the poetic field, and lias written sonic striking poems on love, and the maidens fair. Morally, he believes in the clean, square thing and his belief is shown in his daily conduct. He has a kind disposition but a stern determina- tion for success which allows no time for folly. Jodie, success to you. Vice President Amite County Club; Opti- mist Club; Dialectic Literary Society; Y. M. C. A.; Lieutenant and Adjutant First Battalion. LOUIS ANDREW GARY, Lake City, Miss. School of Civir, Engineering Reading makelh a full man. ' ' Gary hails from the wilds of Yazoo County, and. is ever ready to tell of the many deer he has shot around Wolf Lake. He has seen four years ' service here, and will get his degree in Civil Engineering in June. Louis is a studious fellow, and has well proven his ability to lead his class. He is of a fun- loving disposition and is ever ready for a joke, at bis or someone else ' s expense. His chief characteristic is reading. He will read a Diamond Dick or Shakespeare with equal enjoyment. He can sit around 30111- room with as much unconcern as a babe, but, alas! when he goes, your newly borrowed magazine goes with him. If Gary is as successful out of school as he is in we can safely predict for him a brilliant future. M. A. S. E.; National Guard Club; Yazoo County Club.
