On the maps of the world you will find it not Twas fought by the Mothers of Men Nay, not with cannon or battle shot, With word or nobler pen; Nay, not from the eloquent word or thought 1 rom the mouths of wonderful men. But, deep in a walled-up woman ' s heart — woman that would not yield, But bravely, silently bore her part: Lo! There is the battlefield! dedication l nation is no stronger than —J its mothers. J ' Mid the fhing of fllags and the cheering of specta- tors, proud men go out to conquer unseen foes or die human sacrifices to the cause of democracy. As the}) march off, carrying with them the splendors of military glory, they leave behind many a silent and broken heart. To these unselfish hearts, the nation ott es an unpayable debt of gratitude. The Fourteenth Volume of The Reveille is dedicated Co the Mothers of Men MISS FLO FIELD HAMPTON Sponsor for the Reveille (9) (jtoxeuMrco It ha said: A youth lives in the future And an old man lives in the past. That our lives may be worth while, we have so lived here that each day that comes and goes leaves us with one more happy memory for the days that are to follow. Our lives here have been made up of alternate joys and sorrows; we have had our seasons of sunshine and our days of gloom. We are now about to leave our Alma Mater to travel our various paths of life. Some of us will loin the colors; some will enlist in the army which will feed the world; while others will join the ranks of those industrial workers who shall keep the wheels of prog- ress turning. Each will follow his chosen path, but each will do his part. As the wheels of time turn on, may our days of gloom be rolled into oblivion and may the Reveille awaken in us the sweetest memories of the days that are gone but not forgotten. III. Organization (12) WHWIH ■BWBWBBHIBWBK1B . i FACULTY To President Smith An honest man is the noblest wort? of Cod. N this time of national crisis the colleges have suffered most. Obstacles of every kind have stood in the way of the advancement of education. Stern Fate has decreed that the weak shall fall, the quitter give up the fight, and the hypocrite show his true colors, that only the strong should stand up in the tight against adversity, only the courageous win in life ' s battles, and only the sincere face the criticism of the public. And so we hail President Smith as the man of the hour. He has demonstrated his strength by making this another success- ful year; his courage by his untiring efforts toward improvement, and his sincerity by the service he is rendering to humanity. In his relations with the students his heart is filled with sympathy. He realizes to en is human, to forgive divine, and although he hates transgressions, he loves the transgressor. It is not on record where he has refused to give another chance or grant forgiveness to those who seek it with a contrite heart. For the sake of those who follow us we wish that President Smith ' s administration may last until he feels that it is time for him to take his well-earned rest, and when he retires the people of Mississippi will say, Well done, thou good and faithful servant. (14) PRES1DEN l W. H. SMITH (15) Major Applewhite E are proud to say that the subiect of this sketch is a Mississippian, and typical of all that the name implies. He was born in Lincoln County, and spent his boyhood there. After graduating from West Point in 1897, he was assigned to the Fifteenth Infantry, and with this regiment served in New Mexico and Arizona. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War he was transferred to the Artillery and stationed at Tampa, Fla., during the war. At the close he returned to Washington Barracks, where he was promoted to First Lieutenant and sent to Cuba, where he served until his promotion to Captain in 1901, after which he served at various posts. He graduated from the then School of Submarine Defense, which is now the Advanced Coast Artillery School. From 1906 to 1908 he was on recruiting duty, after which came his retirement. Immediately after his retirement he was detailed on active duty and served as Commandant of the Peacock Military College, then the Utah National Guard, and then as Commandant of the University of Nevada. From there he was sent to serve as Quartermaster at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and from thereto the Mississippi National Guard, where he remained until it was mustered into the Federal Service. While in Jackson he gained the reputation of being among the best posted men on military affairs in the camp. In September, 1917, he was sent here. While here Major Applewhite has gained a unique place in the esteem of the stu- dents. He is recognized by all to be a capable and efficient officer, a strict, but broad- minded disciplinarian, and a typical Southern gentleman.

When Waldo says that, you may depend on it ' s being true, for good judgment is one of his strong characteristics. He is gifted with magnetism and amiability, which accounts for his stiong personality, and this personality makes hi s pre-eminent among his fellows. His grace, polished manners, and keen sense of humor make him a soci.il leader. He is a model gentleman, a good writer, a thorough student, and, best of all, a good fellow. Our best wishes, Waldo!

So shall you find it, indeed. Pat, as Harry is better known, cast his lot with the Class of 18 in our second year. He is one of the few exceptional men who have completed the required course in three years. His unusual ability lor acquiring the knowledge which some of us have diligently searched for has made him an extraordinary student. We feel confident that his excellent success here is but a foreshadowing of that which is sure to be his in all of his undertakings of the future. Not only has Harry made a remarkable record in his classes, but his happy disposition and congeniality have made him popular and well liked by all who know him. Pat is somewhat of a ladies ' man, and seems to have supreme success in all of his love affairs, as he always wears a smile. The Class of 18 extends him their sincerest wishes for a long and happy life and continued success in any business venture he may make. Lee Guards; First Lieutenant Mississippi Sabres; M. A. S.

Toodles entered school in the fall of 19)4, and since then reveille has been his chief ob- jection to living. After his appointment as Captain of the Machine Gun Company his principal efforts have been devoted to the training of this imaginary unit. Jimmies amiable disposition has caused him to be well liked by all who know him, and his closer associates know him as a good student, a Hi ? friend and a good sport. Wherever he goes, the best wishes of the Class of 18 will always be his. Lee Guards; Vice-President M. A. .S.

And merit wins the soul. Bennett is a runt in stature, but his good qualities are in inverse ratio to his size. He is a man who, by his perseverance and endurance during four years of brain-racking toil, delving into the intricacies of science, and plodding through the hidden mysteries of strength of materials, has been crowned with the richest laurels of success. Runt is a jolly, good-natured lad, who takes life easy, and, by his sunny smile, has made a host of friends. He is full of Class 18 spirit, and is a loyal supporter of every class undertaking, a chief characteristic of every true 18 man. He has reached the climax of a noble struggle, and at its successful termination in June, he will bear off his Dip triumphantly, pre- pared to face the trials of life and conquer. A. M. will lose a good student, and the world will gain a nood engineer. Here ' s wishes for a success, old friend, from the Class of ' 18! Vice-President Forrest County Club; Mississippi R. O. B.

Joe was captured in the wilds of Marshall County, and was sent here for us to decide what new species they had discovered, and, if possible, to mrke a report on the value of that certain kind. After we have had him with us through our college course, we hereby announce our verdict. He is an all-round good fellow, and can always be depended upon. In classroom, on athletic fields, and in every pha;|f of college life, he has always played fair and square with his associates He has chosen agriculture as his life work, and if we can prophesy his future by his past, we are confident that his career will be h continuation of successes. The Class of 18 is glad to see him go out into life as one of their repre- sentatives, and every member extends their best wishes to him.

Basil has cast his lot with the agriculturist; )udging from the way he has applied himself, we can expect great things in the future. And when we think of the application ol fanning, we cannot help thinking of his likely application of that thought that it is not good for man to be alone.

Mi Brady came to us three years ago, and entered from High School as an Engineering Sophomore. Being possessed of a keen insight for mathematics, he has come to be recognized as an exceptionally bright man in this as well as in other departments. By his amiable disposition, steady and well-directed efforts, and outstanding determination to succeed, he has become respected and admired by both fellow-students and members of the faculty. He has never been in love with the military department, but has managed to get by, with perhaps not quite so much distinction as in the department of mathematics. We all feel sure that Brady will meet with success in his well-chosen profession. M. A. S. E. ; Li Mississippi Sal ' tub; Big Football. ; First Lieutenant Company G Rufus Harrison Bush 5OS0, Miss. AGRICULTURE Cod made him, therefore let him pass for a man. Rufus fell into our columns late in the fray, but by dint of hard work and close application, has been able to complete his course in three years. Bush is an untiring working in the class work as well as at physical labor. Of him it may be said that he has worked his way through college. His high sense of humor and general disposition has won for him an enviable position in the esteem of his fellow- students. Bush is an excellent sludeni, and withal a good fellow, who likes to forget the more serious side of life occasionally and enjoy a good time with the boys. After graduating he intends to help carry the torch of civilization into Jones County. It is with pleasure we recommend him to any posi- tion of responsibility.

AGRICULTURE We dub you Grand Exalted Ruler of ihe Knights of the Wcel( End. In the fall of 1914 there entered here one who was destined to become a powerful factor in celiac life, and a leader of men. Although filled with ambition for prominence in many lines, he cast his lot here with the athletes. By pluck and perseverance he made the Freshman football team, and in the spring he gained his first entrance into the select circle of M wearers, when he made the Varsity baseball team. The following year he made the Varsity football team, and has played stellar ball ever since. In his senior year he came to the realization of some of his dreams. As Captain of the football team, he led hi; team through a most successful year. As Captain of the baseball team, we predict that he will add more glories to the name of A. M. As Captain of the Lee Guards, he was a credit to his company and an inspiration to his fellows. His fellows have elected him to positions of honor and trust, and never yet has he failed those who have trusted him.

Earl ranks next to the highest in his military aspirations, and were it not for his gallant and care-free facial expressions, we are sure that he would climb to '  -; height of his ambitions in the military line. Although Earl has only been in college three years, he has finished his course in a creditable manner, and has, by his jolly, good-natured ways, won the friend- ship of all who know him.

Indeed, we would havet o go far to find a better friend, because he realizes that friendship consists in forgetting what one gives and remembering what one receives. He entered this college in 1913, withdrew the following year and spent two years teaching, returning in 1916. He completed sufficient work to qualify as a Senior. He was commissioned Captain and Adjutant in his Senior year and performed well in that capacity. Due to unsettled national conditions, he volunteered for service, but was not accepted. While in this quandary, wanton Cupid took a hand, and he is now in a state of married blessedness. Since his marriage he has become agricultural demonstrator for Rankin County, Mississippi.

Charlie, Junior, or Runt, learned to talk English in Woodville (wherever that is) and has, since joining the class in the fall of 15, continually expounded the virtues of said metropolis. Although handicapped by his minute stature, Runt made the class football team, and did good work in the backfield. He is a great favorite of the boys, and almost has to hire help to return those numerous Hi, Runts! which come from all sides. He ha; only one thorn in his side, that being Hard Luck Nixon, who constantly avers that Lexington beats Woodville all hollow. His place among Dr. Hand ' s Chemistry Seven is high. His one failing is his overabundant good nature. No doubt he will soon be telling Julius Stieglitz how to correct his chemical calculations, or will stop the war with chemistry.

' ' We realize that Sid is one of the most capable men of his class. He is an excellent judge of human nature, is broad-minded, and thinks far ahead before reaching a conclusion, which, when once formed, is usually followed with an unusual steadiness of purpose. Do it well or not at all, is characteristic of everything he attempts. If he has a hobby, it must be learning poetry to recite when a bunch of the boys are whooping it up. Sid has shown to us that he possesses the qualities of good fellowship. His sincerity and earnestness have won him friends who will stand by him always. He has given the college his best, and the world, in turn, will give him its best. First Lieutenant Lee Guards; Editor-in-Chief of the Reveille ; President of Dramatic Club; R. . T.

GENERAL SCIENCE Thy mil and thy words are uncommon bright. But thy head will shine in an ) light. Red ' s brilliant mind is only surpassed by the extreme brightness of his forelock, which lights his path on any occasion. Red ' joined us in our Sophomore year, having graduated from the Mississippi Normal College the previous session. In spite of the fact that he chose to specialize in chemistry, he has made an enviable record as an all-round college man. His strength of character, his clear-cut and high ideals, coupled with his unswerving determination to attain these, have served to broaden his interest in college life. The crowning achievement of his college career was his victory in the T. L. Mellen oratorical contest, which entitles him to represent A. M. at the Mississippi Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest this spring. The Class of 18 is for you, Red, in this contest, and after life. Y. M. C. A.

They evidently made a good job of it, because for four years Crump has been one of our hardest and most consistent students. His quiet, yet friendly, manner, together with his all-round student activities, have made him one of our best-liked classmates. His ideal is to own a large up-to-date stock farm in East Mississippi, the most attractive part of which is to be a beautiful bungalow, and Dame Rumor has it that a certain Winston County girl is to have a partnership in this concern.

Bill arrived here in 1914, a verdant Freshman, but has now overgrown that hue. He decided upon elec- trical engineering as his life work, and has mastered every problem brought before him. Though rank- ing among the first in his studies, he has found time to protect the honor of A. M. on thje athletic field. For four years the Varsity baseketball team has not been complete without him. This year he has taken to class football, and, as usual, has made good. Bill has always had a leaning toward the fair sex, and it is rumored that he is eager for the time to come when he will have a four-room bunga- low on the beautiful gulf.

Deen is one of the few who entered as a Freshman and completed his course six months ahead of his class, being the first to graduate in the Business Administration division of the School of Industrial Edu- cation. Immediately after graduating he enlisted his services into the radio school of the navy. He will resume his preparation for better service to his country by attending school for a while at Harvard, in the radio department. We hope that he will succeed in the future as he has in the past. While in school he spent his idle time in letter writing, and when asked where he wrote so much, he would say: These are my pleasure hours for recreation.

He learns something every day, and if he lives long enough, he will know it all. He is one of the biggest men on the campus, and his heart is in direct proportion to his stature. This has been proven by his genial smile, his optimistic disposition, and all the other elements which combine to make a good fellow.

But let ' s look at him from another angle. A man who elects Physics as his major sub|ect must not be afraid of work. Much of his time has been spent in the physics laboratory trying to prove or disprove some accepted theory of physicists. The chief characteristic of Benjami n is his cheerful and continuous smile.

Bob joined us in our Sophomore year, but this did nol seem to handicap him to any great extent. His work here has been a credit to himself and to the class, and in regard to his personality it may be said that his pleasant disposition and everlasting smile has gained for him a unique place in the esteem of his classmates. Bob aspired to no athletic, military, or oratorical honors, but is a leader in that large majority of typical students who, by their whofer hearted support, make all college activities possible. Once he decided that he would revolutionize th.e system of agriculture in Alabama, and when the roll was called at the beginning of this year, his was a vacant chair. He returned the second term, and there was great rejoicing on the part of his friends and classmates. Bob at once entered into the spirit of college life, and was soon taking an active part in all activities, as well as holding his own in his classes.

SCIENCE What cannot art and industry prepare When science plans the progress of their toil? Trotter was captured in Attalla County, sent to A. M., and held for ransom. He took advantage of Class 18 by coming in the fall of 1913. To show his preference for us he dropped out a year, in order that he might go over the top with us. His studiousness in academic work places him in Class A, No. I, His military record is no less than his academic. He denies any association with the fillies, but the denial does not include the little pink envelope that comes so regularly. If Trotter continues his study of Science, we have already ranked him with the two great scientists, Darwin and Pasteur. Continue your study, is our wish.

Large of mind and heart, he always greets you with a smile, and there is nothing he will not do for his friends. Although his record as a student and athlete is good, he has no equal when it comes to wit and humor. All that know him are his friends, and he is a friend worth having. A deep thinker, a true friend, a gentleman — and that is not all.

(71) Senior Class History ACK. in the days gone by in the Prehistoric Age of 1914, the present Senior Class was just entering upon its college career. Some were trust- ing to luck for ten units, some were conscious of superior(?) mental power in the form of high school dips, some smiled knowingly at the rest because they had seen the thing they knew — they had been preps; but in a short time the entire crowd was herded together and dubbed Freshmen. The Class of ' 18 has made mistakes and has tried to correct them. Slowly but steadily this class has grown into Seniorhood, taking its share of honors and treating suc- cess and failure alike. Twice the class went down; at last it wore an ' 18. The class of 18 has received recognition in class and Y. M. C. A. work; it has had its quota of men on the varsity athletic teams for the past four years. As Sophomores, its de- baters defeated the Millsaps Sophomores, and in the Junior year seven of the fifteen intercollegiate debaters were ' 1 8 men. The winner of the Grand Gold W. C. T. U. medal was an ' 1 8 man. The class has shown its ability in military matters, for it was the first class to have Junior Lieutenants and Senior Corporals. The class is small, because when the call to the colors came many of its members volunteered, and are now found in every branch of the service, and as officers and privates. But these things that we have accomplished within the bounds of our college life are but indications of things yet to come. The Class of ' I 8 leaves the college at a time of critical need, at a time when the nation is needing men who are specialists in the vari- ous occupations so essential in waging this great war, and its members are ready and willing to take their places wherever and whenever the nation needs them. — Historian. (72) (73) (74) (75) Junior Class Poem THE FINISHED DAY. ' ' Reveille! And the welcome burst of azure dawn, Spreading across the waiting earth and sky; Soft, restless winds that fan the silent trees And breathe upon the sleeping (lowers and sigh. Morning! And the eagerness Of life and love that always seems to bless. Noon ! And the Halfway House of Life, Where, in the glare of blinding, beating sun. We find a precious moment of respite To help us fight until the day is done. Life ' s ripest fruit hangs low beside tne way. If we but find it e ' er the close of day. Taps! And the far, distant gleam Of stars that shine upon the ending day; Tired hands clasped close in mute distress — Lips, dumb with pain loo long to even pray. Night! And the mockery of a voice we knew When first the sunbeams kissed the sparkling dew. L ' Envoi. When another year has passed us by, And the end of the days draw near.

(90) Junior Class History N the fall of 1915 the greenest, ugliest, and most ignorant bunch of fel- lows ever herded in one place assembled at the Mississippi A. M. College to start through the storehouse of knowledge. All were fright- ened nearly to death, when the upper classmen made their first visit and assured us there was nothing to fear. We soon became accustomed to our new place of abode, and no doubt the higher classmen can tell you we showed them a warm time in all college activities. Although many of our beloved classmates have fallen by the wayside, our number surpasses that of any previous Junior Class. While we have not made as brilliant a record as some other classes, we are not discouraged. We have among us those whose minds are as great as, or greater, than any found in the universe today, and in whom determination is firmly seated. We have not received much outside help, neither do we need it, nor do we expect it from either the haughty Seniors or the humble Freshmen. For as some great man has said, If we be well served we should serve ourselves. This we have done, and if the Junior Class is not as brilliant as it should be, we at least have the satisfaction of knowing we have done our best. Our class is not only among the first in academic work, in literary work, and in military activities, but in the field of athletics we have been represented more than any other class in college. This year a large number of the varsity football players were Juniors, and if we may judge the future by the past, we will be equally well represented in baseball, basketball and track. Although we have had many difficulties and hardships to overcome, we, as a class, have joined hands and have fought successfully through them all. At the beginning of the football season this year any student will tell you there was absolutely no college spirit here. Everything looked gloomy for the prospects of a good football team this year. The Juniors were the first to recognize this fact, and with a thorough organization we fought hard and instilled the old pep which will lead any team to victory. Our Junior year is drawing to a close, and when we look back over the past three years we see that our time has not been idly spent. Wc have worked together, stood side by side assisting one another, and have always been ready to ex f end a helping hand to others. We have plowed our way through the rough and stony fields of geometry, trigonometry and chemistry, which are stumbling blocks to all. Realizing now that only in a few months we will become Seniors, and it may be plauded: Well done, ye good and faithful Juniors: ye have done well over a few things, therefore in the coming years ye shall be made rulers over many things.

M. As a class we were large, numbering about five hundred, and in weight we ranged anywhere from 100 to 275 pounds. We were green, yea, verily we were green — so green that some of the profs became color blind from looking at us. As testimony of this greenness, some of us have among our most valued possessions our bath tickets and receipts for radiators. But as the winter came on and the frost fell, this greenness changed, and it was admitted by the haughty Sophs (now the lowly Juniors) that we were ripening twice as quick as they. Although we had to bear the curse of being ignorant Freshmen for the entire year, and though we had to sing a laundry slip and make speeches to audiences of Sophomores and upper classmen, we soon showed them that we should demand their more appreciative attention. This was demonstrated by the fact that we had men on the varsity basket ball, track, and baseball teams. This year we are rather small in numbers, due to the war. Although the men who have gone and those who will go to the service may not receive their coveted sheep- skins in 1920, we still consider them members of the class, and their acts of patriotism will make this class one to be remembered and loved. On all the varsity teams this year we had good men; and in the classrooms there have developed giants in the studies of Math and Chemistry, as well as some few mili- tary genii. It is a certainty that every Freshman would like to be a member of this class, and it is believed by many who should know that many of the Juniors wish that they, too, might receive their dips in 1920. A history may not be a correct place for a prophecy, but we believe that when an- other leap year comes around and reveille sounds on our Commencement Day, this class shall not be found wanting. N.

' (102) (103) (104) (105) (106) Freshman Class History E arrived at Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College on or about September 18, 1917. We were heartily welcomed by all the old men. Such comments as Here ' s a pretty Freshman, and Happy Freshie, ' wipe that smile off, could be heard on all sides. After running the gauntlet of registration, we were assigned rooms. At this juncture, dormitory life began in earnest. As is always the case, the Upper Class- men were tenderly thoughtful of us. They sold us radiator, bath and reveille tickets at cost. We began to love the Upper Classmen, and as proof of our appreciation of them, we made up their beds, swept their rooms, and furnished enter- tainment by singing that quaint and antique old melody, entitled, The Laundry Slips. They return this affection by giving us Xmas presents (?) and wishing us a happy New Year before leaving school for the holidays. They have taught, and we have learned. We hope they have enjoyed themselves, for we have — NOT! In fact, kind reader, the Freshmen have received an S.B. (sabre belt) degree in less than one year. But why all this nonsense? I ' m supposed to be writing history. I guess it ' s because we have no past history, and the stern present occupies my thoughts. However, in conclusion I want to say that it is the ambition of the Freshman Class of ' 2 1 to be the BEST Freshman Class that ever entered the Hoosieratic portals of old A. M. We will leave the decision as to how well we have succeded to our friends in the Classes of ' 18, ' 19, and ' 20. D. D. C, Historian.

We mourn their deaths. We sympa- thize with their loved ones, especially their mothers, who through tears see for- eign graves. Yet we rejoice with these loved ones that our comrades were true nonlemen, who gave cheerfully the glories of life for the welfare of the world. Our comrades have not died in vain. As our time for battle draws near, let us rededicate ourselves to the great task to which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that tyranny might be destroyed and liberty be established throughout the world.

This briefly summarizes the 1917 season, which was by far the happiest season the Maroons have enjoyed in many a moon. To begin with, ten of last year ' s squad were lost through graduation, most of them entering army service. With them seven underclassmen of the squad, including our giant Captain-elect, Baby Carpenter, joined the army or entered some allied branch of war service. Besides this, the best men of the substitutes and some of last year ' s Scrubs joined the army. So, as a result of all these losses, when the squad for this year assembled, there could be found only two letter men — Captain Bobo and McWilliams — around whom the Maroon machine had to be built, and it is a tough proposition to build a championship team around so small a nucleus, even if it be of such high quality as these men were. So Coach Chad called to this task a man whose peer as a football coach has not been found. Stanley L. Robinson, who for four years starred on Colgate ' s back- field, and who last year coached at the University of Vermont, came to fill this place, (235) MCWILLIAMS, BOBO, HOWELL and full well did he fill it. Coach Chadvvick, as Athletic Director and Financial Manager; Coach Robinson, as Varsity Coach, and Coach Hayes, with the Scrubs — these three so worked with their raw prospects as to turn out a varsity which was only once defeated during the season, and which was ranked by most critics next after Georgia Tech and Auburn. Study the record and see if it was not truly a cham- pionship team. The Scrubs could always be counted on to measure up to a high standard of football. Many times the Varsity was forced to summon all their strength to stop the drives of these Scrubs. All honor to the Scrubs, who were always ready and able to give the Varsity a lively scrimmage. This was no small factor in putting the stuff into the Varsity to make them beat the best. These Coaches soon tried out their understudies against the Marion team. While the game was won by A. and M., 1 8 to 6, there was nothing brilliant about it. The defects of early season work and green men were very apparent ail the way through. Captain Bobo and McWilhams, of course, showed that they were fast coming into shape, while Sanders ' broken field running was the best prospect among the new men. By the following week a great change had taken place. The obvious defects of the playing of the previous week had been smoothed out, and the team began to show (236) their latent power. Mississippi College came to meet us on our grounds, and although they still had the same fighting spirit to the last, there remained only the merest shadow of their victorious machine of last year. The score (68 to 0) tells the tale, and partially heals the sting of our defeat at their hands last year. In this game everybody on the team starred. Maryville came down out of the mountains of Tennessee to face the Bulldogs the next week. We were determined to come back strong and blot out the memory of the tie game of last year, and we did. The score of 2 1 to does not show the fierce- ness with which the game was fought. The smashing line play of Oakes and East, the powerful plunging of McBride (who was playing his first game at full), together with the steady playing of the old stars in the backfield, featured, and showed the devel- oping power. The following Saturday the Maroons got their first and only taste of defeat. On account of injuries, Oakes and East, two of the strongest men in the line, were forced to remain at home. This, of course, materially weakened the line. But the boys went against the Auburn veterans with a Bulldog determination. When Horton scooped up the fumble and raced ninety-five yards for a touchdown, it seemed that A. M. would go wild. The whole team fought like demons to retain this lead, but Auburn § Os§ , hW BRELAND, HURST, OSWOLT (237) OAKES, EAST, KELLY summoned all the power of her veterans and forced over a touchdown. Later they lucked a position which made a touchdown inevitable. A. M. staged a great come- back in the last minutes of play, when, by a series of passes, Bobo to McWilhams, the ball was carried from A. M. ' s 40-yard line to Auburn ' s 12-yard line, there to have time called. That march clown the field threatened Auburn seriously till the whistle blew, showing the drive the Marocns could uncover. The touchdown of Horton ' s was the second A. M. ever made against Auburn, giving a score of I 3 to 6. Henley and Billingsley were the defensive stars. Captain Bobo and McWilhams, in the backfield, and Morris, in the line, played a great brand of football. But a keener loss than any sustained that season was the loss of our promising star fullback, McBnde, when his leg was broken in the first few minutes of play. Ole Miss next loomed up as a foe to be conquered, and the score of 41 to 14 shows how well we accomplished this, in spite of the absence of Captain Bobo and Oakes from the line-up, due to injuries. The all-round playing of Howell, Leonard and McWilhams featured in the backfield, while Perry and Christian showed up well in snat ching the State championship from Ole Miss in the annual tilt at Tupelo. Mc- Cullen and Breland also deserve mention. (238) On November 1 Oth came one of our most important games. We had Kentucky State on our home grounds, and all agreed that it was one of the cleanest, hardest games ever seen on a Southern gridiron. Kentucky, having won two games from us, was trying to take this game and the series, while the Bulldogs were determined to win and even the count in the series of four games, which they did, to the tune of 1 4 to 0. Hurst and Red Oswalt were shining lights on defense. 1 hey were all over the field, breaking up play after play, and many times nabbing the runner for substantial losses. The next Saturday saw the team on L. S. U. ' s home grounds for another hard and very important game. While the contest was one of the bitterest imaginable, still it was sensational. At the opening of the second half L. S. U. kicked off to Captain Bobo, who took the pigskin on his own 20-yard line, stowed it away under his arm and navigated the whole field right through the Tiger team for the only touchdown of the game. Later Coach Howell ' s unerring toe placed a drop-kick from the 35-yard line squarely between the uprights for an additional three points. This was all the scoring, leaving us with the big end of a 9 to score. Two things prevented the Bulldogs scoring more. The extremely dusty field was one, and Ives and his toe was the other one. For the line, stellar work was done by East, Kelley and Hurst. Prescott made the trip as ROBB1NS, DAVIS, PERRY (239) BASKIN, SLOAN, SANDERS a substitute lineman. It was our misfortune during the early part of this game to lose the services of Leonard, at half, for the remainder of the season, due to a badly sprained ankle. The last game of the season was staged in Memphis on Turkey Day, with the Haskell Indians. In spite of the strong desire to do so, the student body was unable to go with the team. War conditions prevented the railroads giving us a special train, so wire reports were the best the student body could get. The Bulldogs trotted out on Russwood Field to meet a new and unknown foe. This aggregation of native Amer- icans was loudly heralded for their powerful drive and bewildering passes and open work. Then, too, it was the first time A. M. had ever met an Indian organization. But the boys soon became used to their opponents, sized them up and beat them. After a gruelling contest on a wet field the curtain fell not only on that game, but on the season of ' 17, with another victory and an Indian scalp added to our collection, by a score of 7 to 6. The peculiar part of the game was that the Indians made their ground by straight football instead of passes, at which they were supposed to be past masters, and the Maroons actually won the game by their accurate passes. Baskin played fine (240) ball at fullback, while Howell, McWilliams, Sanders and Captain Bobo starred, as usual. Davis showed good form at end. Throughout the season Allen end Robins proved capable ends when called on. Kizer, Sloan and Daniels deserve mention also.

M. have we turned out a superior, all- round machine to this product of Chad ' s. The season was very ex- ceptional in many respects. Out of the nineteen games played this season, fourteen were won, two were tied and only three were lost, and all of those were early in the season. Besides this, there were three extra- mning games which are of especial interest. On the 1 1th of April we played L. S. U. here, and for twelve long innings our own Red Ethndge battled to a scoreless tie with Wilkinson, the Tigers ' star pitcher. Each team played almost errorless ball throughout. Again, on April 1 6th an extra inning game was staged with the Tigers from Sewanee. Red Ethndge was again the mound artist for the Aggies, while Andrews, for Sewanee, contested pitching points with him. In this game Red. with the aid of every teammate, won, 1 to 0. But by far the most sensational game of the season was the guelling thirteen-inning scoreless tie which was played with Ole Miss, at Tupelo, on April 30. Max Shaw performed as slab artist for the Bulldogs, matching curves with Holmes, for the University. It was truly a battle royal and a fight to the finish in every sense of the word, and in it Shaw rounded out one of the most remarkable athletic careers on record here. This game, combined with the first game of the series, which he won, gave him a record of twenty-two innings against Ole Miss without yield- ing a single score. That is some pitching. The team won three and tied one game with Ole Miss out of four played, which will be a high mark for succeeding teams to shoot at. We did not lose a game to a State team, and were ranked high in S. I. A. A. circles. C. N. Brandon, as Captain, led a well-rounded team. Bobo did some remarkable hind snatching and pill swatting, and Shaw, Ethndge and Howard did some sensa- tional twirling all through the season. The men who won their letters for the season were as follows: C. N. Brandon, left field. Captain; G. T. Neill, right field; P. N. Gerard, center field; J. H. Alexander, third base; M. E. Lee, shortstop; H. Loper, second base; D. E. McWilliams, first base; W. H. Bobo, catcher; M. J. Shaw, J. E. Ethridge and L. J. Howard, pitchers. Valuable substitutes were Wilder, Jones, Pepper and Saunders. (250) H _1 -1 (251) Record of Baseball Team, 1917 Mississippi A. M.... Mississippi A. M.... Mississippi A. M.... Mississippi A. M....

(263) The Pirate ' s Last Sheckel ND we wan ' t be back till it ' s over, over there! sang the quartette, with a salute, and passed from the stage. The house lights snapped off, and the buzz of the motion picture machine began again up in the lookout. Jack Elton blinked his eyes and settled himself for the show. Something brushed past his head, and for an instant there passed over him a delightful hint of Mary Garden. Turning, he saw a fluffy, brown head drooping to rest on the back of his seat. The knuckles of her four white fingers were almost touching his shoulder. For a second the girl was silent, and then she sobbed: Some of them wont be back at all! A friend on each side of her began to tease, and she raised her head as if to apolo- gize to Jack. The boy caught his breath; they stared at each other. If there were tears in her eyes or on her cheeks Jack did not see them. He was looking for beyond that surprised face, back into the past. He saw the sweet child face which, since one memorable night in his early youth, had been the sunlight of his dreams. And then he drew his mind from the past to consider the fine face that looked up at him now. Frances! he exclaimed. Under ordinary circumstances he could never have addressed her so, but when the time comes that men go forth to fight and women stay behind to work and pray, barriers melt before burning hearts. He was returning from his last visit home before embark- ing for France. He had found everything unnatural at home. Jack, is this really you? she asked softly. Through the rest of the play he talked to her over his shoulder, and at the end, when the lights flashed up, he helped her on with her wraps and asked to see her home. When they reached the street he asked her if she would like to take a car. The night is pretty; why not walk? she asked. So be it, he answered, gaily. (264) Out of the crowd they slipped, and soon were walking alone. This being perhaps their last time to meet, it seemed inevitable that they mention the first time they saw each other. So together they went back over their memories — back to their first meeting. V ¥ ¥ It was a wonderful week for Jack — that Christmas week that Charles Bratten spent on his grandfather ' s farm when the two boys were about twelve. Jack lived on a neighboring farm, and together they played over the entire surrounding country. On the last night of Charles ' stay at the farm he entertained his class in grammar school with a pirate party. The big living room was decorated with ropes and flags, which made it look much like a ship. In the center of the room was a big sea chest, said to have been captured from the pirates by Charles ' great-grandfather, who was a sea cap- tain. In the chest were placed favors for each guest — turbans, sashes, earrings, a de- lightful wardrobe for a pirate; and when the chest was opened Charles ' grandmother presented the favors and told a story about each. Charles had not thought of asking Jack to the party until the last thing that evening, and so nothing had been put in the chest for him. While Mrs. Bratten was telling the story of the last little token she noticed in the bottom of the chest, close up in a corner, something ro und. When she finished the story she reached and picked it up. And here, Jack, is the pirate ' s last shekel. There is no story to tell of this except that he who keeps it must be a man. Take it, then, and be a man. Jack went timidly forward and took the dark, corroded coin. Back before the blazing fireplace he turned it over and over, looking at each side. He was half aware of another face close to his own, another arm that touched his ever so lightly. Oh, Jack, it has the same face on both sides, breathed a sweet voice close to his ear. May I see it, please? Jack looked up into the eyes of Frances Lowe; his face burned with bluches. He had wanted to laugh and talk with the girls as he saw Charles and the other boys doing. But now that the opportunity had come, his tongue was paralyzed. Frances and Charles were great chums, he knew. From time to time that night, as he saw them favor each other, there arose within him a longing and a wondering. He longed for he knew not what; he wondered if there was another girl in the world like her. Without speaking he handed her the coin. Just then Mrs. Bratten announced that the girls should choose partners for refreshments. (265) You ' ll go with me, won ' t you, jack? ' ' asked Frances. Sure! He found the word to answer, and together they followed the others to the living room down the long hall to the dining room. In one hand he felt the tips of her dainty fingers; in the other the pirate ' s last shekel burning into his very soul. It was thus they met, and from time to time in the years that came they met again. He dreamed, and in his dreams it was she who held high the beacon of his inspiration. He waked from his dream to work and fight, and in his battle for manhood he hoped that she would wait at the conqueror ' s seat to crown him in his day of victory. Charles entered the training camp in June. He will be in France with you soon, I expect. You may never see each other, but if there comes a time when you can help him, do it for my sake. He has had better opportunities than you any may be higher in the service than you, but still you are so great, so strong. They had stopped in front of her gate. Jack looked at his watch. It was 10:45. Frances peeped at the watch and sighed scoftly. His train was due at I 1 :00. He took her hand and raised it halfway to his lips. May I ? he asked. Oh, Jack, you are such a man! she whispered, as he kissed her fingers. Jack did not speak again. He could not trust his voice. She freed her hand, and slipped through the gate. At the top of the steps she looked back once more, then she was gone. 3£ s sp Dawn would be coming soon, and with it the inevitable assault. The heavy artillery back of the German lines had begun its work at midnight, and since then a steady rain of shells had been whistling over Jack ' s head. He had been in the trenches during attacks before, and had faced steel with steel, but this was his first time to meet the onrush of the enemy single handed, out in No Man ' s Land. When the previous attacks were over he had noticed that the men on outpost duty were always among the missing. As the boy sat waiting he heard a slight noise behind him. He glanced back to see a figure rising at the mouth of the underground passage that led from his lookout (266) back to the trench. A star shell burst high in the murky heavens, and in its light he recognized the officers ' insignia of rank and saluted. He recognized something else, too. Well, Jack, I didn ' t expect to find you here. It was the voice of Lieutenant Charles Bratten. It is I, said Jack; but I didn ' t dream of your being anywhere near. Are you going to be in this division? Yes, answered Charles. I am to take the place of Lieutenant Slater, who was wounded a few days ago. It ' s going to be fine to have you with us. Your advancement came fast, didn ' t it? Well, I suppose it did, said Charles; but I had some training in prep school That helped me. And there is Frances. A fellow forgets all but his work and her when he remembers that there is a girl like Frances waiting for him when it is over. Jack said nothing. He lay looking across toward the German trenches thinking, thinking. Charles spoke again. She told me of seeing you just before you left, Jack. She thinks you a splendid man. Just then a shell burst just in front of them, and in rapid succession two others. In a few minutes the artillery fire was riddling the earth before them. They have dropped their curtain of fire, Lieutenant, said Jack. The attack may come at any time now. It will be best for you to go back to the trenches and inform Captain Cox. They sat silent a short time, watching the geysers of earth that shot up on all sides of them. Then: Jack, you go back to the trench and report to the captain. I would like to stay here and watch developments. I can ' t do it, Lieutenant; I have distinct orders to hold this post until six o ' clock. And then the risk is too great for you to undertake such a thing. But I command you! Charles spoke sternly. I have authority to make any changes in the outpost I see fit. Charles, as a soldier I must obey your commands; as a man I cannot. I ' ll flip with you to see who stays here. Take this coin and toss it. Charles took the piece of money reluctantly and tossed it into the air. Heads! called Jack. And heads it is said he, as he snapped his pocket flashlight over the coin. (267) Good-bye, Charles, if I don ' t see you again. And tell Captain the attack is sure to come within frfteen minutes. Good-bye, Jack, but I hate to leave you out here this way. Jack watched the Lieutenant disappear into the passage and then picked up the pirate ' s last shekel. He glanced carelessly at the coin and threw it over the embank- ment that protected him. As he tossed it he saw a grey, ghost-like object rise from the German trench. It was followed by another and another, a half dozen, an army. Jack, you have been a man, he said to himself, as he adjusted his machine gun. D. J. Crawford. ' 19.

COLLEGE, MISS. No. 13 FRESHMAN COLEMAN UNEARTHS BALBOA ' S DIARY While walking to Artesia late )ast Sunday evening, t In- Hun R. A. T. Coleman, a Freshman of renown, stumbled over a val- uable strong box containing the long-lost diary of Francisco de Balboa. It has long been known that Mr. Balboa had lost his strong box in this vicinity, but little did anyone suspect that it was so near at hand. Proud was the day for this estimable young man when he stood beside the strong box in the Y. M. C A. lobby reading the diary to the assembled throng and explaining the significance of his famous discovery. By his permissi ' n we publish the following facts, gathered from the diary. Owing to the antique phrasing and il- legible handwriting, Prof. Bow- en, our lamous archaeologist, was unable to give us a transla- tion verbatim: After leaving Panama, Bal- boa sailed up the Tombigbee River and discovered Philadel- phia. As he walked up the street with a loaf of bread under each arm, Betsy Ross stuck her head out of a window and said: ' Give me liberty, or give me death. ' Balboat said: I cannot tell a lie; 1 am on my way to the Boston Tea Party. There he met Christopher Columbus, the duck who discovered St ark - ville, and has been sorry ever since. Leaving Philadelphia, he turned his feet southward and camped for the night near Ar- tesia, in the wilderness. Pro- ceeding to New Orleans, he pur- i -based a [Kiekag. ol Doubleminl Chewing Gum. This is known as the Louisiana Purchase. HOT WATER POUND IN OLD DORMITORY A short time ago it was ru- mored that hot water had been round in small quantites in the old dormitory. One Freshman McNeil has state. 1 that he will make oath to the effect that while he was loitering around the face-washery, c o m m o n I y known as the lavatory (certain- ly to get a drink of water, as he never uses it for other pur- poses), a small but clearly dis- tinct stream of hot water sud- denly began flowing from the lancet, winch had nevei been turned on before, a id that it ran for fully seven minutes be- fore stopping. Altho this may be true, we have our doubts as to its authenticity, it doesn ' t sound straight to us. We can ' t help but doubt the dry-cleaning Freshman ' s word. Quick Service at all Hours Y. M. C.

With many of the boys already in the service of their country, and many more to go, it has been hard for those of us who remain to do our duty as we see it. Although this is a time of nation-wide depression, there still exists in us the love of our college and a deeper feeling of love for our fellow-students. Faces, scenes and expressions which are familiar today will be memories tomorrow. That these memories may live, another edition of the Reveille has been published. The Board of Editors faced adversity from the start. We made some mistakes that might have been avoided, others that could not have been; but for both we are sorry. We wish to thank the entire student body and others whose hearty co-operation has made this book possible. It is our hope, even our prayer, that in the days to come, even though we may be scattered to the four corners of the earth, the Reveille may be taken down from the shelf and read, and with the reading we may live over again our college days, which have been the happiest days of our lives. The Reveille Board. ■ iiiiini iiii mi iiii i hi i iiii in i iiii i iiii iiii in i iiii iiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir.
