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.

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.

KIRBY L. COCKERHAM, Quincy, Miss. School of I nih sthi ai, Educatio To To ightlif, then selves and 8 the best; it harm tin stl Cockerham came to us in our Sophomore year and has heen very attentive to duties during his three years of college life. We lind in him sterling qualities of character and true manhood. Those who know him intimately appreciate his qualities and de- clare him to be one of our best men. He has taken great interest in all college ac- tivities, especially literary society work. He was selected two successive years to repre- sent us in our triangular debate, and was successful both times. He is not altogether a ladies ' man, but often refers to a certain girl at home as Mrs. Cockerham! His fa- vorite sport is to tell of his experience in the wheat fields of Kansas, and his specialty is English (?). His future occupation is not known to us, but whatever he may do if an honest effort will assure success we know he will succeed.

JOSEPH JOHNSON COLLINS, Hardy, Miss. School of Electrical Engineering ' ' A character is an assemblage of qualities. The bo s call him .lor, and his well-known ability at putting away hot chocolate won for him the title of Chocolate Kid. His liking for electrical engineering is only ex- ceeded by — but we have promised not to men- tion that. He is some performer in the gym., but one fatal night he made a slip while skinning the cat and got a chance to obtain some sympathy on the sticr.gth of carrying his arm in a sling for some weeks. Let it be understood that he is no mean student, and takes a great interest in his work. He is a companionable fellow, a true friend, and combines good sense with sound judgment. The best wisfies of the class are with him in whatever lie undertakes. George Rifles; German Club; M. A. S. E. Tennis Club; Grenada Countv Club.
