The Class of 1918 Harbingers of the future in the making, Who ' ve finished now a noble task, Upon their knowledge now are staking This heritage for things the world will ask. The light and life that ' s given them Will be paid for by their deeds As they scatter throughout the world. Ministering to humanity ' s needs. He who goes not into his work with vim Is forever standing still; Fortune ' s door is never closed to him Who o ' ercomes obstacles by power of wil Lest a man strive, he shall not succeed. As these earnest young men will do. So may they strive to do each deed, And may their failures be few! A cog in the whirring wheel of life, They ' ll work, thoroughly prepared Against reverses, in the strife In which they may be ensnared. Battling side by side, e ' en as before. Honor ever foremost in their thoughts, Dulles they II perform as they ' ve done of yore. With pure ambitious hearts. About the world they may be scattered As leaves in the winter wind; And there ' ll be no ideals shattered By human keystones of their kind. They go now into the world alone — Who can in silence see them pass? To greater heights than these they ' ve flown — The bulwark of the future — the 18 Class! (22)

enior CI ass Waldo Emerson Bailey Jackson. Miss. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION: ENGLISH Our friends see the best in us, and ftp that ver t fact call forth the best from us. She ' s keen, I think. 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! May you never know aught but success, and that in good measure! George Rilles. Secretary in ' 18; Dramatic club; Hinds County Club; Class Track, ' 17- ' 1X; So.-ial Editor of the Reflector ; V. M.

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.
