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.

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. A.; Agricultural Club; Private Company H. JAMES RICHARD CAVETT, Jackson, Miss. 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.

CLIFFORD PENNINGTON CHAPMAN, Schoot, or Industrial Education Smiles arc the flowers of God ' s goodness. Tip came to us from Mississippi College, entering the Sophomore elass here. He was originally from Pocahontas, Miss. We find in Tip an all-round college man. He is well-known by both faculty and student body, and his pleasant disposition has won for him many friends in both of these bodies. He has always taken an active part in al- most all of the student activities, from the Glee Club on down — or up.; and has made for himself a splendid record on the athletic field — having played Varsity baseball and football. His favorite Hobby is sing- ing in the Glee Club (?), and his favorite pastime is skinning cats on the horizontal bar and catching on his nose. Ladies ' man? — well, I should say yes. He says he is going to get married if he can invent some way by which to choose a wife from his long list of maiden admirers. He expects to become a banker, and we wish for him a successful and happy career.

WILL ,1. CLARDY, West Point, Miss. School of Electrical Engineering Genteel in personage, conduct and equipage; Noble by heritage, generous mid free ' This dignified personage, of a species of the genus homo, bails from the limestone hills of Clay County. Wee Wilhnn, though quiet and unobtrusive by nature, needs hut to be met to be liked and respected. He is an excellent student, preferring a studious life rather than putting much time on the athletic field. If persistence is laudable, this stately, curly-haired youth certainly de- serves much praise. Jason was never more persistent or untiring in his pursuit of the golden fleece than Will has proven himself in the quest of a much coveted sheepskin. His knowledge is even as that of the Sphinx which saith nothing lint keeps its wisdom unto itself. We believe that his self-con- fidence and untiring energy will hasten his rise to a prominent place among the great, and his friends will watch with interest his progress in the coming great battle of life.
