During his administration the College has pros- pered and has attained a standard that gives A. and M. prestige in the Southern collegiate world. His idea has always been to have the school serve the State to the best interest by turning out men trained for service to their commonwealth. Doctor Hull ' s profound thinking and sound judgment have made him a leader in agricultural reform in the South and an outstanding figure in affairs of national scope. The Mississippi A. and M. College can point with pride to the fact that it has as its president a loyal Alumni and a leader of inestimable value. Page 18 Walker Hand Robert THE DEANS Dr. B. M.

They were conceived in greeness and unsophistry and were inspired with hopes and ideals of accomplishment which were accentuated by ardent youthfulness. To show how they themselves felt they adopted the symbolical motto, Green but Growing. Today this selfsame class, having been propelled by the selfsame motives with which they entered and led by these hopes of accomplish- ment and the joys of knowing that a thing has been well done, stands on the threshold of graduation. Now, glance backward and picture the events which transpired during their college days, the events which made possible the writing of this history. As Freshmen they lived in deeds and not words, ad- hering to the custom that, ' ' Freshmen should be seen and not heard. As Freshmen their class numeral was placed on the tank after they had won the championship in the inter-class football series. Accordingly, by this act they began to gain confidence in themselves and to take more interest in the pursuits of college life and to distinguish them- selves in college activities. The next year being the critical sophomore year, the year when students are considered to give vent to their desires of revenge and to retaliate for the treatment they received as Freshmen, was marred by a little incident which caused the class ranks to be somewhat depleted. In an effort to keep the Freshmen under serveillance the Barbers ' Union was formed with the eligibility of membership of the knowledge of how to use shears. Some twenty members of the class joined the organization and exercised their skill. By this act the union dissolved by orders of higher authority. A thing very noticeable about the Junior year was a property of spirit and enthusiasm which seemed to pervade the entire year. It was that gastromic occasion, the Junior Banquet, which served to more firmly cement the ties of good fellowship already prevalent in the class. Long will this occasion remain a pleasant memory among its participants. In this year also this spirit caused the creation of something new in dramatics with the presentation of the vivacious Footlight Revue. And thus all through the four years the members of the class dis- tinguished themselves in every well-meaning college activity, athletics, oratory, literary and religious work. They strived to contribute some- thing worth while to the college and endeavored to give as well as to receive, showing partiality to no separate pursuits nor confining them- selves to exclusive action in none. Thus having been imbued with these qualities which make the true gentleman under the wholesome environ- ment of their Alma Mater, they go out into the world fully ready to meet the responsibilities, face the problems and surmount the ob- stacles which may be encountered. Old Fellows, ere we depart, let us consider that motto which so exemplifies the unquenchable spirit of old ' 24, and let us here pledge, To our class, Loyalty To our college, Honor To ourselves, True-worth — E.

Work, and play, too, but one at a time, and do that one with all your might. Things began to get hot in Jones County in the fall of 1920 because of the large number of big game hunters canvassing the entanglements of the forests in quest of wild men. Perhaps, because he was natu- rally endowed with sufficient common sense, he came, or because his parents feared for his safety, he was sent to A. and M. until things blew over. Nub stuck. By the time things were again quiet and peaceful in the Free State of Jones, Nub had become so engrossed with ljfe and customs at A. and M. and had made himself so well loved among his fellow students that he would not leave. During his four years here Nub has worked himself into the heart of every member of the faculty and student body by his good nature, neat appearance, athletic ability, and willingness to work. He chose the business school and has stuck by it and turned out good grades. The letter he wears speaks for his ability on the diamond in 1921 and again in 1922. His third year was an unlucky one; a broken foot kept him on the bench all season. Luck to you, Nub. We know you will make good. Jones County Club, Vice-Pres.

In September, 1920, George, a representa- tive of Noxubee County, entered A. and M. with the class of ' 24. His good and ever- ready disposition has won for him many friends. George is a diligent student and a loyal friend. His friendship we all esteem and we deem it a pleasure to have been associated with him as a student, a friend, and a classmate. We shall always remember him by his good qualities. George, the class of ' 24 wishes you the best of luck and happiness.

Xi We met upon the Level, And we -parted on the Square Oust hails from the good old county of Kemper. He first appeared on the campus of A. and M. in the fall of ' 20 and immedi- ately adjusted himself to his new environ- ment. Being a student of ability he will graduate with a good record. His cheerful disposition and good manners have won for him many friends, both in the student body and the faculty. It is impossible to predict what the future holds in store for him, because aside from his other good qualities he is a natural ladies ' man. Old kid, here is wishing you a life of prosperity and happi- ness. Pres. Agricultural Engineering Club; A. S. A. E.; President Kemper County Club; Vice-Pres.

Love makes life precious. Skipper Mac prefaced his college educa- tion with two years in L T ncle Sam ' s Navy. When the need for men had passed, he felt free to follow his chosen profession, and according!} ' enrolled in the School of Engineering at A. and M. Undaunted by the many obstacles to be overcome he has by persistent and conscientious effort pushed forward to success. Amid the task of preparing himself in- tellectually he has not forgotten to uphold those ideals and characteristics by which one recognizes a gentleman. He has led not only in his classwork but he has also taken a prominent part in the social and spiritual life of the campus. His sincere purpose, jolly smile, and distinctive person- ality, have made a place for him in the hearts of his associates. Fired with the same high resolution which has actuated your four years in college you cannot help but achieve great things, Skipper. Chaplain of Masonic Club; Pres. Hinds County Club; Pres. Baraca S.

' ' ' ' Where there ' ' s a will, there are relatives. Duke began his college career by first attending Rice Institute of the Lone Star State but he came to the shrine of A. and M. to drink of her knowledge in January of 192 1. His first ambition was to become a chemist and he has never varied from this path. Already he has had experience in the fermentation of raisins, and is now deeply interested in Miss Mollie Cule and the two Alcohol Sisters, Misses Ethyl and Methyl. All who have known Aubrey since his sojourn here have been impressed by his ready smile and always-willing-to-help hand. His loyalty to his Alma Mater and the class of ' 24 has been surpassed by none. He is of a reflective mind and an effective worker, and if a man ' s success in college is any criterion as to what his success in life will be, we predict for him great achievement in his career.

Happy am I, {row. care Vm free, Why ain ' t they all content like me? The setting of this epitaph dates back to nineteen hundred and twenty, when Buddie hung up his cotton sack and came to A. and M. to study dairying. Truly Union County lost a good cotton picker but Ralph is determined to be a dairyman of the highest calibre, and in the livestock journals ere many years we shall see his full- paged ads. Ralph has allied himself with every college activity and has the ability to put things across. Buddie, by his radiant smile and pleas- ing personality, has won a host of friends in Starkville and on the campus. The class of ' 24 is expecting great things of you, Ralph, and we are proud to call you our own. President Dairy Club; Pres. Tippah- Union County Club; Secy.-Treas. M. H. A.

The lamentable change is from the best; The worst returns to laughter. After having completed his high school education at Camp Ground, it was hard to persuade Bub to lease his sail boat, the spacious gulf, and enter the quest for higher learning. Being reared on the coast he had naturally become attached to the gulf and was not very interested in leaving it and coming to the rules and regulations of school and the painful task of studying. Realizing the necessity of a higher education, however, he followed in his brother Gene ' s steps and entered A. and M. in 1920. Bub has applied himself diligently in the school of Science and has given evidence of the fact that he intends to do the same in the school of life. His noble character, genial disposition, good comrade- ship, and neat and intelligent appearance have won for him the friendship of all mem- bers of the faculty and student body. Bub plans to live on the coast in the future. Some think it is the attraction of the sea, but it happens that a beautiful blonde is the stellar of the two. Student Mgr.

All sense without common sense is non- sense. Flat, G. L., or Gatha, will dis- tinguish this animal from all other species of the Beaver family. After taking his fling in the U. S. Navy, this Beaver was trapped by ambition and his pelt was hung to dry in the hall of A. and M. Instead of drying, however, it has expanded in the upper extremity, until now it is wise enough to avoid all snares, espe- cially matrimonial traps. He hails from the county of George, but this in nowise hinders him from clipping courses at the rate of 70 per. The sunny smile and howdy buddy have won G. L. a place in the heart of every student. We realize this is the parting of the way but the class of ' 24 will back you to a man while you are moulding the mind of the future genera- tion and revolutionizing the orange industry of South Mississippi.

Sc. — Agricultural Education Here ' s to our wives and our sweethearts — may they never meet. Bill entered our class in the fall of ' 20 and has since been a specimen of human energy, loyal and faithful to the banner class of ' 24. He has not been an honor student, but has done his work well. His spirit of congeniality, strong personality, and his dimpled cheek smile will win him friends wherever he goes. He is a level- headed, conservative, thinking fellow. A more worthy companion and a better sport never dawned upon A. and M. ' s campus. He has a sterling character which is not to be defeated. Bill, we feel as if A. and M. is sending into the world one of her noblest sons and one of her most proficient men, one who will fight to a finish the ever-waging battles of life and fight them square. If your accomplishments here are indicative of your future you will be known to the foremost corners of the earth. Vice-Pres. M. C. A. H. Club; Capt. Co. G; Capt. Rifle Team. Chester Floyd Bennett Chalybeate, Miss. Chester Gump B. Sc. — Agricultural Education. Good luck is a lazy man ' s estimate of a worker ' s success. Strange to say, C. F. looks both sage and saintly, and that is rather deceiving. Not so studious as to prevent him from being a good fellow, fairly well up on men ' s ways — and women ' s — and too wise to be kidded; not too saintly to take a joke, give one, or enjoy the real fun in life ' s droll round — ■ thats C. F. He has a generous share of wisdom and horse sense. Part of his wisdom is natural — he kept his door locked during his first night at A. and M.; part of it came from experience. The fair sex worries consider- ably about him, but he does his courting at a distance. No Eve will give him an apple unless she sends it by mail. Tippah ' s only representative with the ' 24 class of the several of that land of hills and sand who made their entry with him, he has already shown the perseverance that gets men where they want to go.

May the devil cut off the toes of all our foes, that we may know them by their limping. In the fall of ' 20 the balmy Gulf breezes heralded the coming of Little Doc, a typical product of the Gulf Coast. Fortu- nately his military ambitions were satisfied at G. C. M. A. and he has been able to study his science more diligently. He is not content to be a chemist because next year he plans to enter Tulane as a medical student. Little Doc is possessed of a pleasing personality, a mind for mirth and merri- ment, a care for his friends and a gentleman ' s honor. By these characteristics he has made many sincere friends here and else- where. We are most fortunate in having known you, Little Doc.

William Oscar Bain Leedy, Miss. W. O. B. Sc. — Agricultural Education. Service is the road to success. W. O. entered the college in 1920 shortly after having been discharged from the army, where he went through active service as a machine gunner. Before entering the college or the army he had a career as interesting as anyone could wish for. After his six- teenth year he attended a music conservatory and prepared himself for teaching music. Armed with a graduate and two post-graduate degrees in music he followed the profession of teaching vocal music for five years, teach- ing in five different states. During this time he was employed three times in evan- gelistic work. Since entering the college W. O. has gained many friends and is known to be a good student in both practical and theoretical lines of work. The class of ' 24 has for him wishes of bountiful success in the future. American Legion; Berean S. S. Class. Page 31 Leland Bardwell Brandon Russell, Miss. Lee B. Sc. — Civil Engineering. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence. Russell is his home, Civil Engineering his calling, Strength of Materials his hobby, and the fair sex his recreation. There is only one thing we cannot understand about Lee and that is how so small a stature can hold so big a man. Large of mind and heart, he always greets you with a smile, and there is nothing he will not do for his friends. His heart is capable of many loves, hence his troubles with the fair sex are numerous. His record as a student, both academic and military, speaks for itself. The class of ' 24 predicts for him a glorious and happy future as a Civil Engineer. Go to it, Lee! We are expecting great things of you. Major 3rd Battalion; Vice-Pres. 1st Sgts. Club ' 23; R. O. T. C. Dance Committee ' 24; Character Builders S. S.

Sc. — Agricultural Education. The man worth while is the man with a smile, When everything goes dead wrong. No man has passed through the portals of old A. and M. during the past few years who has not smiled at the song of Daniel Boone as he opened forth on that famous Asinine melody. That bray of Dan ' s will be remembered through the passing moments, but his smile, friendly spirit and strong character stands for high ideals which will spur those men who know, him on to better and higher things. Daniel has a way about him that no one can resist — even the fair sex fall before his spell. During his four years with us Daniel has won the confidence and esteem of both faculty and students. Dan, we have no fear of your mark in life; your disposition and temperament insure your success and happiness to those with whom you come in contact. Masonic Club; Pres.

Sc. — Business and Industry. The w orld is full of care, Much like unto a bubble; Women and care, and care and women, And women, and care, and trouble. Ralph is better known to his classmates and other friends as JiRalph. Two years in Engineering, two in Business, and no flunks. That ' s J. R. The wise man changes his mind, when, as was the case, his vocation is business. There is one thing that we know, his avocation is playing ping pong with the fairer sex. Everyone has learned to know Ralph as a friend, a gentleman, and a scholar, emphatically true to his convictions. His college achievements argue well for his business success. Note: It is reported that Ralph will commence business as an automobile salesman because his uncle once knew a man whose brother-in-law made a fortune selling them.

A man is a man for what he is. A sterner will and more nobler character was never imbedded in the soul of a man. The lines in a man ' s face are the index to his character. Look, reader, and see our own Russell, who came to us in the fall of 1920 from Lauderdale County in the vicinity of Meridian. It has been said that all things come to him who waits, but for Russell it might be said that if you go after it your chances are increased a hundredfold. His ambition is to excel, which, accompanied with his keen sense of squareness and excellent character, have made for him many friends. In the class room, on the gridiron, and in everyday life he was a perfect gentleman. The best wishes of the class of ' 24 go with him and the future Mrs. throughout life. Y. M. C. A.

P age 33 Stanley Buchanan Hattiesburg, Miss. Buck B. Sc. — Agricultural Education. envy no man that knows more than myself, but pity them that know less. Like many of the rest of us, Buck wandered around a year between high school and college deciding just how he wanted to help the fates work out his destiny. . After entering in ' 19 he missed a year and then became a loyal member of this year ' s class. A bit of silence, enough of real intelligence, and a goodly portion of industry — that ' s Buck. Finishing in three and one-half years is in advance of what most of us accomplish. Teaching Mississippi ' s pros- pective farmers the technicalities of living and making a living is the thing for which he prepared himself; in that or some other voca- tion he will make a success — not because it is an especial calling but just because he goes into it. His friends are assured of his suc- cess and need merely to bid him God Speed in his pursuit of it. Baraca S. S. Class; Promotion Force; Horticultural Society; Dialectic Literary Society; K. of P.; Pres. Forrest County Club; Wheat Harvesters. AUDLEY R. BuRFORD Crenshaw, Miss. Jelly B. Sc. — Agriculture shall not look upon his like again. From the day Burford entered college he has shown the capacity and will to help A. and M. keep its good traditions. He has that glorious spirit of student initiative which characterizes so many of the class of ' 24. His best friends say there never was a person more worthy of friendship; the more you know him the more you want to know him. It ' s understood, too, that girls aren ' t proof against admiring his well-furnished brain, his quiet appealing manner, and his disarming smile. We think of him as he leaves A. and M. as one who, with all his heart, will carry on the highest ideals of his Alma Mater. Page 34 Otha Butler Woodville, Ala. O B. Sc. — Science Education. Be liberal with thine ears, but conse rvative with thy tongue. This is Butler, a Southern gentleman, a loyal friend, and an all-round good fellow. After a ' ' hitch in Uncle Sam ' s army at home and abroad, he came to A. and M. in the fall of ' 20. He came with a bull-dog determination to equip himself for life ' s work and he has reached the goal of his dreams. The high esteem and great respect with which his friends and classmates regard him are testimonials of his faithful and earnest endeavors. That steadfast de- termination which has characterized him throughout his college career will surely attain for him pronounced success in his chosen field. His friends are numerous and he will be a much missed figure at A. and M. Butler, the class of ' 24 wishes you great success. Science Education Club; Alabama Club. Lewis F. Brumfield Bolivar, La. Brummie B. Sc. — Agricultural Education The surest way not to {ail is to determine to succeed. When Brummie left the Rhineland, after serving eighteen months in the A. E. F., he was a firm advocator for the campaign to make the pen mightier than the sword. Therefore in the fall we found him here ready to resume his interrupted college career, having first attended A. and M. in the summer of ' 17. He entered upon his course with all the zeal that he had fought the Hun and the result was that he now has made a fine showing for himself, both with the faculty and the student body. Although specializing in Agricultural Edu- cation, Brummie has a longing for beauty, not for women, but for roses. He says that his Rose is in Atlantic City. We wish him well in this particular undertaking and in any others that he may take part in for we rest assured that success is his. Horticulture Club; Masonic Club; Berean S. S.

Although Lumberton is noted for its pecans, a very different kind of nut came to A. and M. from that fair city in the fall of 1920. It was the burning desire of this ambitious youngster to gain a fuller knowl- edge of agriculture and he has stuck to his goal admirably. His record in the Regis- trar ' s office is an enviable one, and the fact that he is getting the old goat hide in three and a half years proves his ability and perseverance. Horace has a quiet, reserved disposition. He doesn ' t have to talk to make friends. It is just his simple, modest manner that wins a place for him anywhere he goes. In Byrd we find a cultured gentleman, courteous and tactful by nature, and a man who is a friend to everyone. The best wishes of the class go with him when he leaves in February.

Sc. — Business and Industry. Let me play the fool— With mirth and laughter let old age and wrinkles come. Dollar Bill — we don ' t know where he got it but that ' s his handle. Someone once remarked that it probably drifted in with his very shrewd business ideas. Every A. and M. student knows Dollar, the man for whom Jones County is justly proud, even to the lowly Freshman who frequently desires his services at the hospital. Friend-making is his second nature, due to his sunny disposition, and coupled with this a man of steadfastness of purpose that far excels our most brilliant. Dollar Bill is thorough in all his under- takings, studies or otherwise, and there never existed a man more loyal to his Alma Mater. A good-natured cuss, this, and we think that his easy-going ways are caused by his having to lug around such a big load of cheerfulness. May the Goddess of Fortune smile upon him. 1st Lieut, and Adjutant 2nd Battalion; President Jones County Club; Baraca and Berean S. S.

Doti ' t kick the man that ' s down today, But give him a smile for his sorrow; For this old world has a helluva way, And you may be down tomorrow . Twigs is a funny sobriquet, yet it is very significant. It is an indispensable part of a Bush. It symbolizes life and growth so essential to expansion. Twigs Bush is a personification of energy and it can be truthfully said that his expenditure of energy is not for naught. He has won hosts of friends by his jovial nature and has kept them by the strength of his personality. He never betrays the confidence of a friend. A jovial nature without firm convictions behind it is a handicap rather than an asset. Twigs is by no means without con- victions. He is never neutral on questions involving fundamentals. Two things more than others determine a man ' s success in college — a good academic record and a host of friends. Twigs has both. Jones County Club; Captain Company A; Character Builders S. S.

To play tennis well requires infinite patience, clear judgment, a spirit of fair play, and a sense of honor, the qualities of a gentleman and sportsman, as it were, only doubled and redoubled. Well, Wallace decks himself for each Saturday night movie in a spotless sweater ornamented with the very katush letter awarded the tennis team. His interest in the dramatic is not that of the mere spectator, as those who recall his Burglar in Sylvia Runs Away, or who have heard him (and who save the deaf has not?) relate the latest joke can bear witness. His spirit of perseverance is clearly shown in the fact that he has continued one correspond- ence with the coast for four whole years. Those who know only his lighter moments are at least sure that he will never swell the crowded ranks of the A. O. T. C. B.; those acquainted with the more serious side of his nature think rather of him as the thoughtful student, the man of high ideals and fine purpose, the staunch friend, and envy him in the future.

A most charming palmist once told him that he usually got what he went after, and we are here to certify that she told the truth. He follows the line of least resistance as long as it goes his way and winds up on a line of his own making. Showing up well wherever you put him, he is at his best on the football field, and many an opposing player has come to grief in his attempts to stop our hard hitting Chap. Although failing to make a letter, the spirit that allowed him to stand the buffets and knocks of a scrub, indicates an ability for work and determination that must succeed. An air of indifference born of a confidence that is neither vanity nor conceit, a genial disposition and an abnormal appetite — by these characteristics you will know Chap. And when you do you will agree with us that he is a true friend and a valuable addition to any crowd. Capt. Company B; 1st Sgt. Club ' 23; Philotechnic Literary Society; Berean S. S.

Be swift to hear, but slow to speak, For some day, somewhere, our word we shall meet. Texas is a gentleman by nature, a student by choice, and wise by his effort to overcome every obstacle that falls in his pathway to higher learning. He is a culti- vated gentleman, quiet and conservative, and a man that can be both serious and jolly. He is a possessor of culture, a ready wit, a heart-warming smile, and a character as unblemished and scintillating as the rarest of gems. It is these that have won for him the high esteem and admiration of both student body and faculty. Texas, the class of ' 24 predicts for you much success in the great world of Eco- nomics.

The hosts of friends that Buck made in Meridian as a resident of the campus before going to the Hub City just naturally shoved him into the limelight when he came to A. and M. He became a leader in his freshman year without the aid of politics and the critical public eye has found so little fault and so much of fineness in him that his leadership continued throughout his four years here. Conservative, level-headed and steady, he has exemplified Kipling ' s, If you can keep your head when everything about you goes wrong, and the result is a constantly widening horizon of friendships. Buck ' s motto does not work for him on the cinder path or the gridiron where his seventy yards to a touchdown through one of Alabama ' s best elevens stands as one of A. and M. ' s notable football achieve- ments. Class ' 24 believes that on the grid- iron of li fe he will make as great advances towards the goal line of real success.

Jeff, a big boy with a pleasant smile and a winning way, answered the first roll call of class ' 23, and was a loyal member until he missed a year and had to drop back to the ' 24 class. Perhaps you have heard of those fellows everybody likes, despite their natural tendency to do otherwise, but the chances are you have never seen one. That is Jeff, and he is always ready to do any- thing for pleasure ' s sake. His good nature and common sense has won for him a host of true friends. Class ' 24 is glad to claim Jeff as one of her sons and we join in wishing for him success and happiness. Vice-Pres.

Red, Goober, Ruf B. Sc. — Civil Engineering. There ' s many a man of many a mind But the only one of the kingly kind Is he who dreams of the deeds he zvill do And then with a will makes his dreams come true. A man of few words, either has not the intelligence to express his ideas or is too wise to express an opinion on every possible occasion. Red is a portion of the latter type. He is one of our most competent engineers and has proven his ability in the last two summers with the Mississippi River Commission. An exceptional mental ability is only one of his many attributes. He is a congenial fellow to have around, always with a ready smile on tap. Red ranks high on our list of good fellows. His idea of enjoyment is to be up and doing — we discreetly refrain from mentioning what — and his life-long con- tentment can only be brought by continual change. A genius whose only barrier to success lies in an over-zealous ambition and whose ideas miscarry only because they antedate modern thought. M. A. S. E.; Baraca S. S. Class; Pontotoc County Club; M.

Meridian, the city of soft music and gentle lovers, in the harvest time of ' 20 deemed it just to present us with a sample of its products in their personage of Bozo. At the quiet hours of the night we often found him waging contests of love, with paper and pen as his weapons. At other times, soft smiles, soft eyes and soft music proved good implements for his contests. By nature romantic, he was easy prey for any real pretty girl. But because he was an engineer he screwed up courage and paved the way to a woman ' s heart. An engineer in school, an engineer in the field, and an engineer in the heart of a girl. Bozo to his classmates, Mr. Combs to his employer, and Johnny to HER, and a real good sport to all who know him. Suc- cess be with you, boy, in the home, in the field, and in the hearts of others as you are in ours. M. A. S. E.; A. A. E.; Vice-Pres.

Sc. — Agricultural Education. A lion among the ladies — ' tis a dreadful thing! N ot that he likes men less, but that he loves ladies more. Cos ' s happy disposition and congeni- ality have made him popular and well liked by all who know him. He is somewhat a ladies man and seems to have a supreme success in all of his love affairs, as he always wears a smile. Although shipped among the barbers who were defending the class of 1924, he came back with determination and has a record which speaks for itself. While in military he cares not how the wind blows, nor is he a book fiend; he studies in earnest when he does study. We feel that his place cannot be filled here, but we are reconciled by the thought that one more good man will go out into the world to reflect credit upon A. and M. and the class of ' 24.

No, Chlorinda, he does not hail from the wilds of Blank County. He debarked pom- pously from the Limited in the most un- assuming manner, with an air that is becom- ing of the ultra-modern young men of our State ' s Metropolis. But ere we had known him long he was revealed to us as a deceptive enigma rather than a supercilious prig devoid of humility. For when the curtain of fashion was drawn aside there was exposed to us a sterling character and excellence of disposition that are the foundation of his emanating personality. Then we pay that tribute to him that is most desired by all men — to be called a gentleman, and respected as such. Your numberless friends join me, Hines, in desiring for you unbounded success — and all the usual wishes. We feel assured that, because of your sagacity and distinction of person, Colbert and Company, Consulting Chemists, shall emblazon the skies with its fame and accomplishments. Page 41 Julian Morton Consley, Jr. Holly Springs, Miss. Mello ' Cello B. Sc. — Electrical Engineering. Mello ' Cello drifted into A. and M. in September, 1920, after leaving all of his friends back in Marshall County to grieve over his departure; however, he never remained friendless at A. and M. long. He played from morning till night on his ' cello, from which he acquired the nickname Mello ' Cello, and after a short time, like the Pied Piper, he won the confidence of his many friends. He was admitted to the School of Engineer- ing after due consideration of the Registrar, and after thinking the matter over Mello ' Cello decided that he did not have enough work to keep him busy and therefore joined the drum section of the band. He started at the bottom on cymbals, as all great men do, and with the passing of time was pro- moted to the position of thumb fiddle player, or in other words, Bass Drummer. His success in both Engineering and the Band is very marked, and his friends feel sure that in the future all his undertakings will be successful. Band; Orchestra; Alumnae, 1492; M. A. S. E.; A. A.

So fill the cup and fill the can — all the ways of man are but dust that is lifted up and lightly laid again. J. C. once thought of being a scientist, but after shifting for himself with refrigerat- ing companies, he thought again and de- termined to be an engineer. His reasons were twofold — sagacious by nature, he decided that engineering would create an atmosphere of efficiency in the home he entertains hope of some day directing, and secondly, he had a dream which pictures him as the chief engineer in some great refrigerating plant. Whether he is chief engineer in a home or in an ice plant, we hope he will manage well. And because he has shown us that he pre- arranges the result before he instigates the cause, we feel confident of his success over whatever or whomever he decides to manage. Our hopes are that he pleases others as he has pleased us. M. A. S. E.; A. A. E.; Memorial Committee Class ' 24; Boiler Makers; Masonic Club; Bolsheviki. Page 42 Robert Cecil Cook Columbus, Miss. R. C. B. Sc. — Agricultural Education. Nothing is denied to well directed labor, and nothing is secured without it. There is an infinitely small group of students who, although living in Columbus, have yet deserted that earthly Paradise for A. and M. Of these latter incomprehensible beings Cook is one. And yet he seems (ain ' t human nature wonderful, though!) to find the fair sex entrancingly easy to look at. Four years ago he hit the red-hot trail, so to speak, that sometimes leads to learning, and has been following it with ever-increasing success ever since. An accomplished and thoughtful student, with an abundance of that practical sense which does not always accompany knowledge, a sympathetic com- panion and loyal friend, he speedily won for himself a high place in the esteem of his classmates. The literary rather than the athletic group of college activities has claimed his main interest, and in this field he has won prominence. It was but fitting that the class of ' 24 gave him, as a mark of recognition and esteem, the editorship of this, our Reveille. If you would know his work, look about you.

Bill, Cass Although he entered college ' way back yonder, absence from college made Cassell a member of ' 24 three years ago. During these years he has been mainly engaged in chasing the agile atom and flirting with formulae in the Chem. Lab., and in disporting himself on the tennis courts so conveniently adjacent. And it is there the college world has known him best — it is there that he won the letter he has worn for two years as a member of the tennis team. Now, to know a man really well you must play games with him; even so simple a one as chess will serve, but tennis is the most searching test of the individual of all. On the courts the bad loser and the cocky winner are shown up forever in all their native unpleasantness — a single play even may strip off all save a man ' s essential character, to the admiration or disgust of the onlookers. And though to encounter Bill at the nets is for one to become an also-ran, it is also to become his fast friend henceforth. An adept in all that may call for skill, pertinacity, accuracy, finesse — a smiling loser and a generous victor; may he ever play the ereater game, which is life, with the same sportsmanship, and receive in it also those honors which are the high reward of ability and fair play.

Not what I sell, but how I sell it, that makes a business man. Honorable citizens, it affords me great pleasure — Thus has begun the career of a man that promises to be one of the best orators, if not one of the most convincing of business men. So brimful of good ideas and so forceful in his administrative ability, he naturally seems at home before any audience. And whether the audience be a column of credits, the drill field, or a court of justice, Hot is always the same, with his determined firm -set jaw and ready, winning smile. When he begins to argue his course in life, be it to join the help of a man or to win the heart of a maid, we feel confident of his success. His determination and joviality will carry him far in the esteem of all that know him. 1st Lieut. Co.

That which makes me bend makes the king bow. After Si served thirteen months over- seas and took part in several engagements, Uncle Sam paid him off in New York in 1919 and he was again shifting on his own hook until the same good Uncle sent him to A. and M. in January, 1921. Si is from the old stock of Rankin County but in spite of this fault he was ambitious to study Power Plant Engineering. Mrs. Robert, however, soon discovered he was applying his energies in the wrong direction and changed his course toward his natural calling before it was too late. He now aspires to be a great agriculturist and our prediction is that he will be successful because of his pep and ability to put things across. Si is always interested intensely in anything that concerns the school and will work hard for any good cause. He is known by his interest in athletics and is held in high esteem by all. His frank smile, good heart, and sterling character won for him a place among his associates that will be hard to fill when he finishes the first semester of ' 25. This slight delay was caused by his first step toward the wrong course. Chairman Dad ' s Day Committee ' 23; Secy.- Treas. Masonic Club; President Rankin County Club; Vice-Pres. Greater Service S. S.

Sarcasm! Who can assess that quality to themselves and know George? If you want a master of the situation let George do it. Hazlehurst was too small to retain a genius, so in the fall of ' 20 it ceded to A. and M. its first man in several years. George made a determined stand, demonstrating his ability as an engineer by hammering his ideas into every suggestion and tempering our decisions by his, Oh, fellow, that ' s easy. Because he thinks every task easy George will succeed, since To him who thinks he can, can. Our best wishes go out with him and may he convince his employers, as he has convinced us, that he is an engineer who believes, Oh, fellow, that ' s easy. M. A. S. E.; A. A.

There ' ' s nothing so sacred as honor, And nothing so loyal as love. Stacy entered our class in the fall of ' 20 and has since been loyal and faithful in maintaining the honor of the ' 24 class. Putting all he has into those things which are honorable, he has proven himself one of the most popular members of his class. Through diligent and untiring efforts he has won his degree, and stands ready to face the world. The record he has carved in the portals of A. and M. will no doubt prove an asset to his future success. In leaving this institution his classmates are confident of his success, for a man who has succeeded in college will undoubtedly make a success in life. Clay County Club; Greater Service S. S.

A friend in need is a friend Our Alma Mater took on a more energetic and cheerful atmosphere in the fall of ' 20, when athletic Tubby strode into its august precincts to add to the total sum of good cheer and football material. Naturally good-natured and friendly, he was not long getting into the swing of college activities, always helping to push along any construc- tive enterprise that the class of ' 24 undertook. Tubby ' s earnest work each fall with the Maroon and White pigskin gave him a place in most of last year ' s games, but an injury in the early part of this season has damaged his prospects for his final year. Tubby is majoring in Education, a course in which he has made a remarkable record. Any school will find him a valuable addition to its teaching force if they secure him, but we are afraid he is going to realize only too soon after leaving our Alma Mater his dream of a little ranch with a bungalow, a Flivver, and lots of — of — er — hogs, and chickens, and cows, etc. Captain Co.

His magnetic personality made him known by everyone on the campus. You will always find him with a ready smile and a store of original wit, combined with the highest type of culture, which has made for him success in almost every undertaking. He is the seventh one of his family to graduate from A. and M., he having chosen Agricultural Education as his profession, in which he goes equipped with both theory and practice to overcome all obstacles that may present themselves.

' ' ' ' Responsibilities gravitate to the person who can shoulder them and power flows to the man who knows how. Modest, courteous, industrious, Tullie Marcus Dean represents the highest type of American manhood annually graduated from A. and M. and other similar institutions. He was born on a farm near Ozark, Alabama, January 16, 1899. At the age of seventeen he enlisted in Co. G., 167th Inf., which organization was a part of the famous Rain- bow Division. He saw service at Cham- paign, Marne, Aisne Marne, St. Mihiel, and Meuse Argonne, being one of eight in his company to come through the war unhit. Following his return and discharge he married Jeanett Harper of Montevallo, Ala. Entering A. and M. in 1920, he enrolled as a member of the 1924 class. He completed his work for a Bachelor ' s Degree in January, 1924, at the conclusion of the fall semester. His record at A. and M. shows application along academic lines and activity in student affairs. As a student he held rank and he has the confidence, friendship, and best wishes of his professors and classmates. American Legion; Philotechnic Literary Society; President Berean S. S.

His willingness to learn coupled with diligent application to work have led him to the desired goal. He stands highest among men who know him best. His smiling face and cheerful mien, his innate friendship, and square democratic ideals have won for him the respect and admiration of his friends. As a man of purpose, a loyal friend, and a gentleman, he carries with him the best wishes of the student body.

This above all — to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou cans ' t not then be false to any man. To tell the Tale of the Toreador, of the Three Musketeers, of ' 24 calls for a new Dumas, but here goes! He is not the portly one, nor the serious one; he can be only the philandering one. One of the old guards that made up the class football team of our never-to-be-forgotten Freshman days. He deserted football for shooting (with a real gun), and his eagle eye has won him the rank of expert. If common sense (which is anything but common) and determination and self- reliance mean anything, he has already gone far along the road to success.

In addition to these Shot has a sense of humor and pep that have put him into the activities of the class and college with a snap. He has played four years on the scrub football team, which proves his character; he is a fighter and a sticker. He also sticks to his friends, for which reason he has many. With such qualities as these he is sure to be a success.

Such as thy words are, such will thy affections be esteemed; and such will thy deeds as thy affections, and such thy life as thy deeds. ' ' ' ' Our gallant Dick brought from the old, old city of Natchez to A. and M. one of the best personalities that Class ' 24 has had the good fortune to call its own. His unfailing courtesy, polished manner, and quiet, easy- going, but efficient way of getting things done, have endeared him to our hearts and made us glad to label him an A. and M. product of the first water. Dick is an engi- neer and a good one — he is a man, all the way, and a good fellow from start to finish. Dick came to A. and M. as a bull-rat from Georgia Tech. at the opening of session ' ii- ' 22, and has been with us ever since. His three years at A. and M. have been quiet and unbroken by any untoward incident. In sports he has distinguished himself only in shooting the bull, but there ' s little doubt that he has scored heavily in that respect. Vice-Pres. Adams County Club; M. A. S.

During our four years together we have found him to be a true friend, always carrying enough fun to make the occasion pleasant, whatever it may be, but when it becomes necessary he can easily adapt himself to more serious thought. Opportunity has never skinned its knuckles knocking at Doc ' s door, because at the first rap of that impromptu visitor he is on his feet to show that his house is in order. Under the careful guidance of Dean Bowen he has assimilated the details of big business and we look for him to go back to his native abode and become a sturdy captain of industry.

A rather familiar name it seems, but an unusual person bearing it. That is the comment the average person would make after meeting Polo. When it comes to fast work, his famous namesake, famous for turning out rattlers at the rate of a thousand per hour, has nothing whatever on our Polo. His record for speed and accuracy is not only confined to college work, because the girls at Grenada College are fond of testifying as to his adaptness along other lines. There may be something that Polo can ' t do well, but no one has discovered it yet. Although specializing in Horticulture and being prepared to raise artichokes and collards, we doubt if he will follow this field of activity. His originality in cartoons and drawings make us believe he will go in for art work. Polo has made a brilliant record in his studies — and out of them.

Preacher B. Sc. — Science Education. Time masted is existence used in life. Preacher came to us in the spring of ' 21. Since that time he has been continuously on the job, making all of the summer schools. As a student he regards duty as the most essential part of college life; in fact, if duty and pleasure conflicted, pleasure was put aside. His academic achievements assure the class of a worth-while member, a member who will not only make good in his future work but will reflect credit upon his class and his Alma Mater. His genial good nature, integrity, and all-round manly qualities have won for him a place permanent in the hearts of his friends. Preacher, the class of ' 24 wishes nothing less for you than the success which your ability commands. This is enough for one man.

May the hinges of friendship never grow rusty. We have high regard for a little town down the I. C. called Ackerman. The subject of this sketch is a native of this burg; his name is Harry. Surely he is a man among men. Quiet in manners, wise by experience, and handsome by luck — that ' s Harry. Constokum, as he is known to his class- mates, has the ability to make friends and to hold them. This noble son of old Choctaw has made an enviable record during his brief stay with us. Especially do we point to the fact that after losing one year in the School of Education he is finishing in Civil Engineering. If we are able to judge the future by the past, we predict great things for you, Harry. The heartiest wishes of the ' 24 class go with you. Character Builders S. S. Class; Capt. and Reg. Adjt.; A. A.

Vol came to us in the spring of ' 21 after spending two years in Uncle Sam ' s army. It was a deep-rooted love for knowledge that brought him from the sunny hills of old Wayne to the student life of a Freshman at A. and M. He saw the great need for better trained teachers throughout the South, and as a means of adding to his chosen profession, he decided to enter A. and M. and cast his lot with the class of ' 24. His decision has been our gain. Certainly no man has ever been more loyal to his Alma Mater, and to the ideals of good fellow- ship than has Vol. His life among us has been an open book, ever living up to his motto that so uniquely characterizes him. Vol, the class of ' 24 wishes for you a large portion of the world ' s success. Character Builders S. S. Cass; President Wayne County Club; Dialelctic Literary Society; Horticultural Society.

Gotch has been well known and is well liked since he came to us in the fall of ' 20. Though he has had to w-ork his way through college, he has made a good student, and through hard work, unfaltering faith, and fidelity, has completed his course. He has made numerous friends during his four years here by his pleasing personality and other good traits. He has mastered his course in such a manner that we feel sure the dairy business of the State will be boosted by his graduation.

' ' Gray had some difficulty in the selection of his Alma Mater. After spending a year at Mississippi Normal College he joined us in the fall of ' 20. Four years he has labored for the coveted sheepskin. His labors have materialized into an Academic record that speaks for itself. If perseverance and loyalty to duty merit success, we can safely predict for him the realization of his dreams and a life of usefulness for his fellow man. In making a study of his past life we come to the conclusion that there is only one thing which we can criticise — that is his affection for the opposite sex. If this affection is a weakness, console yourself, Gray, for we all have it more or less. The best wishes of the class of ' 24 go with you!

' 1 ' ' Preacher was captured in the wilds of Jackson County, and was sent here for us to decide what new species they had discovered, and if possible, to make 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 be depended upon, especially in a classroom when his friends do not want to meet class. In every phase of college life, and on Hardy Field, he has played fair and square with his associates. He has chosen agri- culture as his lifework, and if we can prophecy his future by his past, we are confident that his career will be a continua- tion of successes. The class of ' 24 is glad to see him go out into life as one of their repre- sentatives and every member extends to him their best wishes for a happy future. 2nd Lieut. Co. G; Secy.-Treas.

Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, mine own Mademoiselle! ' ' ' ' This is Zane Gray, not the author of novels for the general public, but the author of many other works of fiction to be read by only one. Judging by the many letters he receives in response to these he must excel in this field as does the famous novelist. Yes, he is the same lanky, ridge running backwoodsman that sought refuge at A. and M. when the piny woods of Jasper County caught fire in the fall of 1917. He too became fired, fired with ambition, and he is still burning strong. Class ' 24 welcomes a remnant of any class who will put his shoulder to the wheel and push forward as has Zane Gray, and we doubt not that the record he will write in the school of life will be as commendable and worthy of a gentleman as is his record among us. His ability to adapt himself to whatever conditions he finds himself confronted with, his capacity for hard work, his good spirits, evidenced only by a cheery greeting — or a song on his lips — and his genial personality make his many friends fear not for the future.

According to a well known poem by Service, there is a certain group of men in this ever restless and changing world that do not fit in. Yea, not so with the jovial, good-natured Sal, for he is totally void of any of the characteristics of this group. With his overflowing wit and ever-abounding grace of humor he overcomes all situations and obstacles as if he were born a prince, a prince of a good fellow. These traits con- tribute to his outstanding ability to make friends with those whom he comes in contact. Yet with his likable ways and unique aspects he is of a quiet nature, not moving as a storm but as the calm that comes after the storm. As the calm carries with it sunshine and radiance of things better, just so does Sal. We recommend this fellow student to the world at large and are sure that one who possesses such amiable characteristics will attain great success in serving the world in the same great spirit that he served his Alma Mater.

Deacon, one of the most aspiring students that has ever knocked at the door of A. and M., came to us with the class of ' 23 from Sunflower County. And when he came he brought the sun and the flowers along with him, and has so used them that his journey through Aggie Town shall never be forgotten. Deacon is loved by all, not only for his humorous nonsense but for his staunch- ness of character. When there was fun to be had he got his share, yet never has the time come when he forgot that right is right. He left his classmates in his sophomore year to answer the alluring call of the oil business, but returned a year later, this time to fall in line with the boys of ' 24.

After two years spent in France, he realized the need for an educa- tion more than ever, and returned in the fall of ' 19 to finish his course. But again he was delayed and at the end of the term was forced to go home. But Hawk was not to be dismayed, and in the fall of ' 21 he came back and has been on the job ever since. Hawk has upheld the traditions of his class ' 24 to the credit of everyone concerned. His determination to finish whatever he begins, and the ease with which he has accomplished hard tasks, speak well for his future. The class of ' 24 wishes for you much success in your future undertakings. Calhoun County Club; Baraca S. S. Class- Robert M. Head Pineville, La. B. Sc. — Agricultural Education. An ounce of pluck is worth a ton of luck. Among the Freshmen who entered in the fall of 1920 was Head, who hails from Louisiana. His previous education had been to the extent of finishing the eighth grade. In spite of this handicap Head is finishing in February. His destiny was not to become a star in the limelight of athletics nor to be a winner of the highest honors in his classes. In his classes he absorbed as much as any of us and struck the happy medium. We realize that he is one of the most capable men in his class. Head is an excellent judge of human nature, is broad-minded and thinks far in the future 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. He has shown us that he possessed the qualities of good fellowship. His honesty and earnestness have won for him friends that will stand for him always. He has given the college life his best and the world in turn will give him its best. Page 58 William R. Hearon Ackerman, Miss. Trimble-Toe B. Sc. — Dairy Husbandry. The man worth while is the man with a smile, when everything goes dead wrong. Trim, as he is affectionately known by his fellow students, hails from the piny woods of Choctaw County. He entered A. and M. in the fall of ' 20 and chose Engineering as his course of study. During his Freshman year he obtained a job in the college creamery, and worked his way through college. This work appealed to him so much that he changed his course to agriculture at the beginning of his Sophomore year. Trim is very popular among his fellow students and all who know him are his friends. His cheery greetings and friendly disposition have won for him a host of friends among the students and faculty of the college. Trim, old boy, we do not hesitate in predicting for you a bright and successful career in your line of work. The best wishes of the ' 24 class go with you.

His indomitable courage and persistence have led him on to the desired goal. His sincerity, genuineness, and sterling character, coupled with that commendable quality of seeking the good in all mankind, have won for him the confidence and respect of all of his friends and the love and esteem of his classmates.

With this purpose of mind he made his way to A. and M. in 1920, and by diligent application and hard work he has reached the goal. Slim has proved himself a man of great ability, a true Southern gentleman, and a loyal friend. He has won the high esteem and great respect of all of his classmates and friends. His career as a student, his ability to apply himself to work, and to make friends, insures him success in whatever field of endeavor he may care to enter. His friends and classmates all join in wishing him success and prosperity, which he so fully deserves. Finance Officer American Legion ' 23; Alabama Club; M. S. I.

In the fall of ' 20, during the season of Freshman migration, he left his old haunts in the jungles of Kemper County and cast his lot with us. Since then his influence has been felt throughout the student body, and there are few student activities that have not received his encouragement and sup- port.

In the fall of ' 20, Kemper County sent to A. and M. a very ambitious lad, known to us now as C. C. During his college career that ambition supplemented by a dominant will power has been the means of helping him over many difficult problems. We predict for C. C. a future of eminent suc- cess, for he is of that type who are not sat- isfied with present success but are spurred to higher things by worthy motives. Who knows but that C. C. may hold a place among the world ' s most famed literary men. He is rather literarily inclined and is every inch a man of stick-ability. C. C. seems to have a great fascination for the fairer sex, and when he has con- quered all else we believe he will in turn be captured by some fair damsel.

' With the call that was made for able- minded young men to fill the ranks of the Freshman class in the fall of 1920, this brilliant youth stepped forth from the long leaf pine fields of Greene County. From the first he began to take a keen interest in all college activities. He began the hard struggle in his Freshman year on the track team which led to the making of a varsity M in his sophomore year and a member of the S. I. C. Championship team in his Junior year. Though working two years, he has found time to perform well in his fasci- nating line of scholastic work. Hiller is a true friend, a worthy classmate, and above all, a good fellow. 2nd Lieut. Co.

Ducky wandered far from the babbling brooks of Montgomery County when he came to A. and M. in the fall of 1920. A leaning toward mathematics and a strong desire to do something big led him to cast his lot with the school of engineering. Emerging victoriously from his battles with calculus and other kindred subjects he has steadily pushed to the front. A pleasing personality coupled with an amiable disposition has made for him many friends. The ability to make the most of a situa- tion and a deep-seated respect for what is right have enabled him to make his stay at college a benefit to others as well as to himself. His courteous ways and earnest ambition will do much toward helping him onward toward his goal to which he aspires and we prophesy for him a successful career in his chosen profession. M. A. S.

Little we see in Nature that is ours. Pete first came to A. and M. in the fall of 1919 with the class of ' 23, but at the end of his Sophomore year ventured into the confectioner ' s field among the Bright Lights of Broadway. That he was greatly benefited by the experience gained in the metropolis of New York is shown by the fact that after fifteen months he returned to complete his college career. To know Pete was to know the city of cities, for never did he refuse to respond with a tale more entertaining than the last one when his friends requested. Pete is the fellow to do things, for he goes at his work with a winning power of determination. His true personality and ready wit have gained for him many friends, while his advice and wise counsel has helped many of us through our life difficulties.

Happy B. Sc. — Agricultural Education. They never taste who never drink, They always talk who never think. ' One September morning, four years ago, a green, thoroughly scared Freshman made his first appearance upon our enlightening campus, and lo! we had in our midst Hap Hubbard of the great city of Macon. Aye, he was green but soon this shell was shed and the true color — gold — came into promi- nence. This we see from the many honors bestowed upon him during his four years at A. and M. Hap was an athlete of exceptional ability. In his Junior and Senior years he was a leading varsity man on the football squad, always playing the game and playing it square. We find in him sterling qualities of character and true manhood. Morally, he believes in the clean, square things and his beliefs are shown in his daily conduct. Hap ' s greatest fault — as well as achieve- ment — is to look intelligent when he knows absolutely nothing. To say all the good things that might be said of this man would require more space than is allotted, but here we are reminded that Great men have the shortest biogra- phies.

It ' s an ill wind that blows nobody good, and we are all thankful of the good wind that blew Nubs among us in the fall of ' 20. He didn ' t make a great big noise when he landed, but ere he had long been among us we begun to take notice. Unassuming in his ways, forcing himself on none, never seeking the spotlight, always kind and considerate of others, he has gained the friendship of everyone in college that is lucky enough to know him. Although small of stature he stands out in A. and M. athletics, being captain of the 1924 baseball team. He is a bright light in the Civil Engineering class of ' 24. When he starts one thing we well may know that he will finish it and finish it in good shape.

We wish, whenever we see Lefty, that cheerful grins were more infectious than they are, especially those which, like his, gladden the heart of man (and, we dare say, of woman, too). He radiates purposeful steadiness, reliability. When we see him on the diamond, where he appeared early in his college days, we know that he will give his very best, and that to the limit; but never shall we see him pushing himself forward at another ' s expense. And it takes a man who is a man to be capable and yet unassuming. Unique among his accomplishments is his skill with which he combines athletic and academic pursuits. This feat and its results are alike remarkable; so much so that in the years to come we ' d rather see him than one of his letters. But, besides, how could he write to all his friends? For in their number is everyone who knows him. May the world always give back to you, good friend and true sportsman, the same cheery smile you give it. Samaritan S. S.

We are all friends of Little Hutch — in fact, we feel that our little friend will be admired wherever Christian Character is esteemed.

Beef is a man of great stature and has found his weight very helpful to him on the football field, and although he has been unable to make a letter, he has scrubbed four years. Many a man on the varsity has looked forward with great dread to the bumps that were coming to him from Beef. The fact that he has the determination and the man power to withstand the knocks and blows that a scrub gets for four years is enough proof that he can and will withstand the knocks of life.

He has been active in all phases of college life that go to make up a real man. His gentle, good nature and fair dealings have won for him a host of friends.

Because your chance to marry is small. James became famous, not under the title of Consty, which he was attached to while bearing under the discriminating marks of a certain little individual universe known as Sullivan ' s Hollow, but just as plain Jimmie. We would not deliberately say he was a Freshman green, very green; while being exposed to a course or two in business he practiced agriculture by carrying around several pockets full of shelled corn for the greater part of his first year. These are only dim memories now, for time has wrought its inevitable change. Pis only too well known that you cannot hold a good man down, and Jimmie has ripened into one of our most polished stu- dents — in fact, Bad Eye rates him as one of rare learning. Greater Service S.

The meek shall inherit the earth, But those that are not meek shall take it away from them. Dick, as he is commonly known, is a sturdy fellow with good purposes. Although giving the serious questions of life their proper attention, we cannot conceive of him without his ever-present element of fun. He is adaptable to master any situation that may arise. His smile challenges hearty friendships, and once made they are of the everlasting, unbreakable type. Dick has been thoroughly interested in the attain- ments of the class of ' 24 and has favored all constructive issues that have been fostered. While Dick lived in Clarke County he was burned with an ambition to attain a high ranking place in life; this he will surely do. Dick faces an overwhelming success. Be it the wish of his many friends that he will rapidly soar to this zenith without rebound. Pres. Clarke County Club; Baraca and Berean S. S. Classes; Philotechnic Literary Society; Secv.-Treas.

A man ' s man is Nub. Although a native Kentuckian, Dr. Walker ' s school of Engineering lured him to Mississippi for a technical education. Entering school after two terms of our Freshman year had passed, he began the fight with ' 24. His love for hard work, and his ability to resolve his disappointments, cares of life, and admira- tion for the fair sex, into their respective components, and to equate them all to zero, has gained for him a regular berth on the Pullman of ' 24 that is bound for success. As an engineer his measurements are to the standard, and his qualifications as a dignified College Professor have already been detected by Prof. Pat. His pleasant disposition and his good will toward his fellow students have won the friendship of those who know him. To his class, loyalty, to his Alma Mater, honor, and to himself, true worth, can truly be said of Charlie Frank. That the world may render unto you that which is yours is the wish of your class. A.

' It was in 1918 that the clarion call of duty echoed throughout the rugged hills of northeast Mississippi. Keeton heard and responded to the call. For twelve long months he served under the Stars and Stripes. His work in this capacity finished he re- sumed his education, spending a term at Auburn. Suffering a change of heart he came to A. and M. in the winter of 1921. In view of his experience it is not strange that he quicklv adjusted himself to college life. Strong in character, purposeful in mind, he has made his time count for the most. He has taken an active part in student organiza- tions. By his unique mannerisms and ready wit he has captivated the entire student body under the nickname of Sheep. His consistent playing of the game of life, coupled with the fact that Sheep is on thousands of tongues in Mississippi, is enough to insure success in the future. We predict success for him in his chosen pro- fession. Vice-Pres. Prentiss County Club ' 23, ' 24; Masonic Club; Hair and Hide Club; Berean S. S. Class; Class Basketball ' 21; Miss.

Dana, as he is known intimately, came to A. and M. a verdant youth from the land of timber-hustlers, D ' Lo. With constant de- termination he entered the School of Engi- neering in the fall of 1920. His love of hard work and possession of a spacious and receptive mind inspired him to seek honors. His consistent and sincere efforts have been crowned with success. He is not only out- standing intellectually, but morally and spiritually. He upholds all high ideals. His broad mind, striking personality, initia- tive, and courtesy, make him worthy of any man ' s friendship.

Later on, however, he attended Silver River, a splendid consolidated school of his native county. When the nation called for soldiers in the late war, Lad joined and served in France. While on the front he received a severe wound. To know Lad is to appreciate his quiet disposition. He is one of the most unsophisti- cated men that we ever knew of. During all the time since he entered college in 1920 he has proven himself to be a worthy gentleman. Masonic Club; Pearl River County Club; Fellowship S. S. Class.

The grand old name of gentleman Let us then be up and doing can be applied to Tom for it has been his purpose since being with us to always try to do some- thing for his Alma Mater or some of his classmates. His many friends stand as evidence of his sterling character with which he is possessed. By all he is known as a true gentleman and a man among men. By profession Tom is an engineer though his hobby is often journalistic in nature. It has always been his pleasure to spend his spare moments writing for the school publi- cations.

Dewey H. Lane Hattiesburg, Miss. Admiral B. Sc. — Business and Industry. A taste for wine, an eye for a maid, Never too bold, never afraid The Admiral ' s career at A. and M. has been what might be called complete in every sense. He has shared favors in every branch of activity; his excellent physique and given determination made him a varsity athlete on two squads; his keen intellect made him a good student; his initiative and ability made him a leader in practically every worth-while student activity in school; his ready wit and natural, unaffected good disposition have made him a host of friends that any man should boast of. Although he is proba- bly the most popular as well as the busiest man on the campus, he is the same old Admiral; with his ready smile and sincere manner he is always ready to help a friend or render another service to the school. Any man can be proud to call such a man Friend; any school could be proud to be called Alma Mater by him.

General is another of Wayne County ' s fair sons who, although not predestined to success, is sure of it in a large measure. He possesses a great deal of natural ability to which he has added four years of such thorough training as only a number one student can hope to attain. He has won many friends among the student body and, when once he wins a friend, it is certainly not flattering to say that he rarely loses him; he possesses a friendly disposition that convinces everyone that he is too big to let rumors and petty grievances interfere with friendship. He zealously preserves all confidences of his friends, and many find pleasure in confiding with him. We congratulate you, General, and expect you to do great things. President Character Builders S.

Buck has been with us all our time in college and we know him well — better even than Columbus knows him, which is pretty good, too. He hails from the staid, old- fashioned city of Natchez, but there ' s very little that ' s staid or old-fashioned about our Buck. His hearty laugh and genial smile, combined with his naturally winning person- ality, have made him a valuable asset to any party — stag or otherwise. Besides that, as his Freshie says — He knows his okra.

This Corinthian youth came here with an ambition to be a master agriculturist, and his academic record proves he has held to his high aim admirably. No more desirable companion and friend can be had.. He is a true gentleman in every sense of the word — courteous, considerate, and upright.

Fresh- man year Malcolm was a sleeper (none of your tourist or first-class ones either, but every class); Sophomore year he was not a Barber; Junior year his skill as a perfect lady brought us hearty laughter and a world of pleasure; and Senior year — well, go see for yourselves! The Dramatic Club will give you several opportunities. We all know Malcolm from the outside, but we all do not know the unfailing good- humor, the conscientiousness, the never- flagging devotion to duty and to the high principles that mark the real, the inward man. For, like all comedians, Malcolm is serious, and life ' s a serious business. He is never satisfied with anything less than the best in whatever he undertakes, and he under- takes much.

Joseph Erroll Luckett Jackson, Miss. Jazz B. Sc. — Agricultural Education. It is better to love what you cannot love Than to have what you cannot love. It is fortunate for Jazz that neither ability nor achievement depends upon one ' s size. However, his share in the Freshman football team put him early on the College map — his exploits with the Varsity the next year put him on a larger one with all the insistent emphasis of a tack in one ' s heel — little, but oh, my! To Jazz is due two of the most deliriously happy moments in our life — one, when as a Freshman in an interclass football game he received a kick-off and ran 80 yards for the winning score; the other, when as a poor weak woman in an evening gown he publicly had hysterics (we nearly have them ourselves whenever we think of that). Yet, for all that, he is a human storage- vat; one that could put pep into a brass monkey. He is unassuming, and we like him the more for that. He realizes that nothing ' s worth while that ' s not worth fight- ing for, and he is always on his toes. We all wish him ever the best of luck, because he ' s a real sportsman, clean and straight, who plays the game, whatever it may be, as it should be played, and for all it ' s worth.

' ' ' ' Lem was found to be among those who were actively engaged in conquering the enemy during the year of 1918, having spent eleven months overseas where he saw service in the defensive sector of the famous Meuse- Argonne drive. He returned home at the end of the war and finished his high school course. After entering A. and M. in the fall of ' 20, Lem reached the conclusion that the proverbial horseshoe, the emblem of good luck, is spelled with four letters, W-O-R-K. For this reason he has fought his way through a college career in order that he may better fit himself to the service of mankind. His smiling countenance and his keen sense of humor make him cherished by all who have met him. There is nothing too difficult for Lem and he is always willing to do anything for his friends and his Alma Mater. He tackles any task, instead of standing by and saying let George do it. Just such men as he are a credit to the human race and are a type that are bound to come out on top. Lem, the blessings of ' 24 go with you. Baraca S. S.

With that done he covered the greater part of the country, in good old A. and M. style, attending six universities and colleges before migrating back to his native state in the fall of 1921 to enter the class of ' 24. Willard is the founder of the Alpha Chemi- cal Society and is the instigator of several plans to the advantage of ' 24. His abun- dance of wit and humor would make us expect to hear of him later as a humorist if we did not know that he is first a chemist.

Pablo is not known as an athletic star or as a brilliant student, but just as an all- around good sport, a steady learner and a faithful friend; those who knew him at Fort Barrancas and on Fifth Avenue can attest that he is a good sport; his records uphold the fact that he is a good student; and anyone who knows him will tell the world he is a steadfast friend.

Though quiet of disposition, he has a pleasing personality and to know him is to like him. An excellent student, a true friend, and a good sport, are a few of the traits that characterize him. Dairying is his hobby, and when it comes to knowing a Jersey cow he is second to none. He was chosen as one of three to represent his Alma Mater in the student judging contest held at the Tri-State Fair in Memphis. His record while there was certainly one to be proud of.

Mac from the beginning of his freshman year proved himself to be a man of unusual ability. He solved many a perplexing and difficult situation for his fellow students and his love and interest in his fellowman has won for him unusual distinction. His success and ability speak for themselves, if indicative of the future means achievement and distinction in his future life. He has won the esteem and greatest respect of his classmates, friends and acquaintances. A true Southerner, a gentle- man, a loyal friend, and a man whom we are glad to meet.

Ark was born — he got to grammar school eventually. After finishing that he worked his way through prep, school doing everything from digging ditches to chief cook. He made the track, football, and literary teams that represented his school in competitive meets. In the fall of 1920 Ark came to A. and M. without finishing prep, school, ran the gauntlet of entrance exams, from Graveyard Wallace ' s math, to Fritz ' s English. With 9c in cash and a million in determination Ark rooted up a job in two weeks that paid his board. He has worked his way through A. and M., handicapped probably by being a furriner, but he loves Mississippi second only to his native land. His record in the classroom, on the athletic field, on the rifle range, on the debating platform, and in the hearts of his fellow students is something any A. and M. man could be proud of.

As a member of the ' 24 Barbers ' Union he acquitted himself with valor and as a result sojourned at Ole Miss, for a semester. Since returning at the beginning of his Junior year he has by hard work over- come this handicap and has caught up with his class.

To many students who have been closer associates of his while in school it is going to be a hard shock to have him go from their midst, as he has a pleasing personality and an art of making and keeping friends. Last but not least, it may be said that Pete did not confine himself to football alone, as his athletic career reached out into other branches. He is an outstanding star on the basketball court and on the track team. We all wish every success for this worthy man in his undertakings. Comrades S. S. Class; Hinds County Club; M Club; M. S. S.

Sc. — Science Education. Dear son of memory, great heir of fame. What need ' st thou such weak witness of thy name? Never has the class of ' 24 been benefited more by the addition of a single man than it was in the fall of ' 22 when Red entered the halls of A. and M. His native state is Illinois. He received his training at the Central Normal College, Danville, Ind., and spent one year in college at Ames, Iowa. Red then accepted a position as assistant chemist in St. Louis, where he served for four years before coming to A. and M. His tireless devotion to his work has won for him the respect and confidence of students and professors alike. He received his diploma inscribed With Honors. He set his goal high early in life and we feel sure that he will attain his ambitions. Red, the class of ' 24 is proud to claim you and wishes you unlimited success.

Peanut entered the class of ' 24 from the hills of Lee County with the determina- tion to do honor to his institution, to do credit to himself, and to make for himself a host of friends. In the latter two he has suc- ceeded and it is very probable that A. and M. will look upon him someday as a man that any institution would be proud to own as one of its graduates. Peanut is a student held in high esteem by his professors, ad- mired by his fellow students and loved by some few members of the fair sex. It would be only fair to say that he is among the few who will receive their college degree while still in their teens. Peanut, there is no doubt that your future will be crowned with success, honor and the love and respect of all. So good luck to you and the Class of ' 24 bids you farewell. Character Builders S. S.

John ' s father perhaps lost a good clerk when he lost Son John, but we got a man to be proud of. He thought at first of making a great engineer out of him- self, so he took engineering the first two years, but when he came back a Junior, big business appealed to his youthful imagina- tion and he at once fell in line with Bad Eye and his business followers, and will get his goatskin in the school of commercial activities. By some hook or crook he has made him- self very popular with the student body, and more so with the men that know him person- ally. He is stout in body with a strong mind, will power and determination, and we know he will make good in the business world as well as with the little girl that he hears from so often.

The man worth while is the man that will smile When everything goes dead wrong. Pinkey came from Missouri, the Show- Me state, in September of ' 20, and joined the School of Engineering with the purpose of learning the habits and habitats of the electric current. Whether or not he has been shown is yet to be seen. But this we all know: he has shown us a thing or two, particularly in connection with the piccolo and flute. In him the band secured a valu- able acquisition, and his graduation will leave a vacancy that has ably been filled for the past four years. In making friends Pinkey has been as successful as in playing the flute. It is with much regret that we look toward the passing of college friendships; and in leaving, Weldon carries the best wishes and hopes of a host of friends.

Sc. — Agricultural Education. Never over-serious, not too frivolous, but a rare good fellow. ■ It was in the fall of ' 20 that the fair city of Yazoo cut loose one of its career-seeking lads and booked him for A. and M. College. So it was that Step entered the college with a purpose in view and has lived his college life with this purpose ever before him. During his college life he has never forgotten the smaller things and has always taken part in all phases of college activities. By his gentlemanly conduct and kind-heartedness, he has won for himself a host of friends. He has made good in his college work and by using this, coupled with his native ability, we expect great things of him in the great school of life.

To thine own self be true. Pat began his college career at A. and M. in the fall of ' 19, and immediately joined the reed section of the college band. He has been a member of this organization for the past four years. He and his gob-stick have won for him a circle of friends and have played a prominent part in the personnel of the Band Company. At the beginning of the session of 1922-23 he failed to return, thus becoming a member of the class of ' 24. Pat seems to be very deeply concerned over some of the mysterious problems which we have not been able to solve as yet. In all probability some sweet member of the fair sex has him guessing. His intention is to become a school teacher, and, judging from his spotless past, we predict great things for him in the future. Pres. Prentiss County Club; Fellow in Geology ' 22; Sgt.

He entered the freshman class in the spring of ' 21, and was as green as any freshman who ever hit our campus. He did, however, prove that he was not hopelessly ignorant because he entered up in the education course, B. C. has been a conscientious, persistent worker, a good student, and a clear thinker. Through his friendliness, his unobtrusive demeanor, and an academic record that speaks for itself, he has won the admiration and esteem of all who know him. He has the rare ability of quick decision, and when once he has decided upon a thing he sets about its accomplishment with an unusual steadiness of purpose. Political Science is his specialty although he finds occasional diversion in Feminology. B. C. has been a credit to the class of ' 24, and we all wish him great success in his future undertakings.

This above all — to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou cans ' t not then be false to any man. In giving us Pente, Imperial Bolivar has every reason to be proud. Possessed of a pleasing personality, a keen intellect, indomitable will-power, and the ability to form lasting ties of friendship, Pente has made for himself a warm place in the hearts of his classmates and acquaintances. He has been active in all phases of college life that go to make up the real man; a jolly good sport, a deserving student, and a friend to all that know him. Pente is fond of music and large brown eyes, and judging from his frequent visits off the campus we have an idea that he has been captivated by some fair one who has both of these qualities. Pente, we wish you a long life, punctu- ated with successful attainments in the World of Commerce. With your chosen training, strong personality, and high ideals, we know that success is yours. Pres.

Perk established for himself during his four years at A. and M. an athletic record that has seldom been equaled before. From the first week of his freshman year to within a few days of receiving his diploma he has been in practice for, or playing, on a varsity team. He plays football, basketball, base- ball, tennis, and casts the javelin on the track team. Seemingly n ot satisfied with all of these, he widened his fame by capturing a place on the mythical all-Southern basket- ball team. As a student Perk ranks among the first. It is not often that a five-sports athlete graudates in them all in four years. Perk not only finishes this June but lacks only a point of getting Honors. His extremely unselfish disposition, so notice- able in his play in basketball, has won for him a host of admirers, all of whom wish for him the success he fully deserves.

Pilgrim Philadelphia, Miss. Quaker, Pil B. Sc. — Electrical Engineering. Be true, be faithful; and above all, be a man. Quaker hails from the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia, Miss.; he drove into the ranks of freshmen in the fall of ' 16. As a fresh, Quaker was rather restless and when his Big Uncle got into the argument he left his class and rushed off to lend a helping hand. After the war was over he further saw the need of an education and in the fall of ' 21 he re-entered the college of his choice and lined up with the class of ' 24. Through diligent and untiring effort he has won his degree and now is ready to enter the big school of life. Quaker, we predict for you great suc- cess and much happiness. Pres.

Joe, better known as Pip, is a product of the good old County of Clarke in South- east Mississippi. He cast his lot with us in the fall of ' 20 and adjusted himself to his new environment with the determination to make his college life a success. Nothing has altered his determination and his record will speak for itself. His pleasant personality, gentle tempera- ment, and courteous manner have won for him many friends among both faculty and student body. Unlimited possibilities lie before him and no doubt he will meet the same success in life as he has met in college. Though he has received a Bachelor ' s Degree we feel safe in saying that he will not lead a bachelor ' s life long. Success to you, Pip, in all your attempts, is the hearty wish of the ' 24 class.

Here ' s that you may live a hundred happy years, And I may live a hundred, less one day; For I don ' t care to live any longer When all of you good fellows have passed away When the Gods made this mighty man they made one part exceedingly mightier than the rest. This part was his heart. If you are ever in need of a friend just hunt up this man, in whom the spring of jubilant life is ever flowing, and you will have that friend. Large of mind and heart, he always greets you with a smile, and there is nothing he will not do for his friends. We find him to have but one — the whole student body. His ideal is to own a large newspaper, but most of all, a beautiful bungalow, and Dame Rumor has it that a certain Starkville girl will have a partnership. Choke is without doubt one of the finest contributions A. and M. College has ever made to the world, and EVERY man of class ' 24 holds a warm spot in their hearts for him.

George Albert Powell Carson, Ala. Gap B. Sc. — Agricultural Engineering. Many a woman may I admire, But one sweet woman is my desire. Surely we are mistaken if we think that Alabama does not produce men of great type, because we can see the fallacy of this statement in the life of George, who is an Alabamaian. Probably we owe much to Uncle Sam for sending this young man to us. After recover- ing from a wound that he received at the hands of the Germans he came to A. and M. in the fall of 1920. It was a great privilege of ours to say he has fought the battles of ' 24 with the same determined spirit that he fought the battles in France. All who thoroughly know George can say that he is a jolly, big-hearted fellow of sports, a great admirer of women, and a real deserving student in his classes. Judging from his creditable achievements of the past, plus his earnest college training, class ' 24 extends him the assurance of a worthy future. Vice-Pres. A. S. A.

T ' was a fortunate year for our Alma Mater when our friend Edward arrived from the verdant hills of Calhoun County to grace our midst. The wandering steps of this lonely freshman trended toward the Prim- rose Path, but due to his ability to absorb the words of the Great with little effort, his frequent conquests among the ranks of the fair sex have not hindered in becoming one of the shining lights in the world of Jew Engi- neering. His handsome countenance, pleasing personality, and unusual adaptability for learning, have earned for him many a life- long friend and coveted records during his four years at A. and M. The best we can wish for him is to do as well in future years as he has done in his present time among us. 2nd Lieut. Co. A; Vice-Pres.

Sc. — Electrical Engineering. The wine of success might go to your head, so be careful and don ' t get intoxicated. Here is Lake the student, the friend, the musician, and the singer. Lake left Purvis in the fall of ' 20 and entered the Freshman class of A. and M. because he wanted to make his home town proud to claim him. Having withstood the trials and tribulations of his Freshman and Sophomore years in the School of Science with the hopes of becoming a chemist, Lake decided to be an Engineer and therefore forsook his former vocation. Thus he entered the School of Engineering and took up Electrical training at the begin- ning of his junior year. Lake has and will continue to make good at whatever he attempts because he is confident that nothing comes without effort. He has made many friends during his time at A. and M., and with such a disposition as he possesses he will continue to make and hold friends wherever he goes. To the fair maiden, we are sure that there must be one, who is lucky enough to have Lake to sing to her through life, we extend our congratula- tions. M. A. S. E.; A. A. E.; Band; Orchestra; Pres.

He came here to learn to be a scientific dairyman for a scientific lady in a scientific home and has lived out his determination. His shining countenance is always lighted with a smile, and days have no dark for him. One of his greatest assets to society is the stick-to-it- ' til-its-over characteristic. He has always been good in class work, good in free-hearted- ness and good in his friendship by trying to always help the other fellow. Go to it, boy; we do not expect your ship, which you so carefully shaped and planned while you were with us here, to do other than carry you safely and comfortably across the sea of life. May success crown your efforts and the world greet you with a smile, as you have us. Business Manager Dairy Club. Brown Polk Gross, Miss. B. Sc. — Science Education. Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and {all; but the moral law is written on the tablets of eternity. Brown came to us in the spring of 1921. When we feel blue and lonesome we know that Brown will cheer us up with one of his Marion County tales. Although this fellow is jolly and witty, he does not waste his time in frivolity. We depend on Brown for any task. He never cuts a class or shirks a duty. When this old chum is gone many boys will remember him for his loyalty and for his kindness. He graduates with no demerits against him. We wish him all the happiness in the world. President Marion County Club; Masonic Club; Greater Service S. S. Class.

In the fall of 1920 Sarg entered A. and M. with the rest of the class of ' 24. Sarg has always been a quiet sort of fellow, but this has not kept him from being liked by everyone. He is not very stuck on military, even though he was appointed Sergeant at the end of his Sophomore year. Upon graduation he leaves us well equipped for any position that demands courage, in- tegrity and a conviction of good faith. A true friend, a good companion, and a perfect gentleman.

Inclined to be dignified, it is to be regretted that the juvenile members of our class have caused him to be as delightfully otherwise at times as it is possible for so scholarly and solemn a student. We commend his studious habits for having enabled him to success- fully overcome obstacles and accomplish his purpose here with an enviable record. Fairness in contact with fellow-students, his quiet, reserved and dignified demeanor, and his charming personality have made him popular with his classmates — and under- classmen as well.

The world loves a man who is not afraid to say yes, or no, and then defends his decision with every ounce of energy and with every fair means at his command. Class ' 24 is proud of you. We are proud of you because we have found embodied in you those fair principles and high ideals that have characterized and welded together Americans, the greatest of human races. Ridings, all that is left to say is that when you enter into the clamorous fight for success, we know that someone will meet a formidable foe, and the wish of class ' 24 is that you may conquer all.

Ickey has never failed to take part . in the more joyous side of college life. His curly hair and ready smile have been in evidence at her nearly every party. In fact sometimes it seems that the sun cannot go down on Saturday unless he is in Columbus, and if his grade in Columbus Lab. were averaged with his other grades, there is not a doubt but that his final average would be one of the highest.

He did his part in the great world struggle for Democracy, and with the same spirit of determination he has stuck to the struggle for knowledge. He is a good student, but that is not all; he is a friend that can be depended upon in time of need. His pleasing personality and good nature have won for him many friends.

His type of personality is the kind that reaches higher, spreads wider and sinks deeper into the lives of his associates. If you like humor, wit, and good fellow- ship, then you will like Bubber. The space allotted here is much too meager to give all the inside dope on him, but we know this, if you do not number him among your ac- quaintances you are indeed unfortunate.

Earth seems more sweet to live upon, More full of love, because of her. After finishing the Tupelo Military Insti- tute and then spending four months in the U. S. Military Academy, Dooley set sail for A. and M. in the fall of 1920. Although seriously handicapped each year by acci- dents of some kind, he has bravely carried on. He has shown a notable yet natural weak- ness for the feminine sex — a weakness which almost borders upon genius, so far behind has he left his competitors in this field. But there is little wonder that he by being so true a pal, with such a pleasing personality of his, wins fast friends wherever he goes. But if bad luck should ever happen to approach him again, all he need do is to smile (provided he doesn ' t prefer to talk to death), and it will vanish. And we, the class of ' 24, sincerely wish that Dame Fortune, her hands full of opportunities, is waiting for him just around the next bend in the road of life.

Jack joined us in the fall of ' 20 and served through that session as Secy.-Treas. of the freshman class.

As one of noble character and a most extraordinary personality he rose rapidly and surely in the love and esteem of his fellow students. All the way through, Jack has continued to make great strides toward the fulfillment of his purpose in coming to A. andM., and this year, as President of the Senior Class, has proved himself even more than we could have expected.

He is a good example of what perseverance and determination can accomplish, even against odds. He has met and overcome obstacles by his dauntless spirit of determination. He has also prepared for Life ' s great post- graduate course by being practically self- supporting. His greatest handicap at present, we ' ve been told, is the fact that some fair maiden has stolen his heart. But be that as it may, an earnest heart, a strong will power and a keen ambition have opened up his path to success in the past and no doubt hold a brilliant career in store for him.

Not like the rose may our friendship wither, But like the evergreen may it last forever. Sul, as popularly known, is recognized by both students and faculty of the Institu- tion as an earnest, painstaking man of unusual ability. He was one of Oktibbeha ' s first to answer the call to Old Glory, and served with the third division overseas. He presented himself on the 5th day of June, 1920, immediately after graduation from Longview Agricultural High School, to one of the professors of this college and requested work in order that he might save sufficient money during the summer to enter college in the fall. With persistent determination, and ambition that knew no defeat, he set his face like a flint against apparent unsur- mountable financial obstacles and graduated with the class of ' 24 as one of its respected members. The best wishes that this class can make for you is that you may instill into the young men who are fortunate enough to be under your tutelage the principles of fidelity to duty, application to study, ambition and earnestness of purpose that have so character- ized your work in college.

Since the happy days when as a freshman we spent our days flitting hither and yon from the speculative gate of upperclassmen, B. W. has been, if we may speak it, one of the cornerstones of the class. For he has always been the embodiment of that rather undefinable yet priceless quality we term class spirit. His support of every worthy activity of the class and of the college has ever been assured in advance. Earnest, sincere, too honest to let self-interest out- weigh right and justice. He may never have a million but he will have a million friends. When he takes his infectious grin back to the State of peaches (both kinds he assures us), he may be sure that our friend- ship and our most earnest wishes for his success will accompany him.

Everything comes to those who wait, therefore why should I hurry? Bill came to us from Webster County in the fall of 1920. He is very large and hand- some in stature and equally if not larger in mental capacity. His academic record shows the result of earnest work. He is an enemy to no one and a true friend to all, which traits has won for him a host of friends. At first base you would swear it was Wally Piff himself. His success in the military world is marked by his appointment to Lieut. -Col. of the cadet corps. He is with love affairs the same as with academic work — steady and determined. We predict great things for him as a civil engineer for we know the world will give him the whole-souled response. Lieut. -Colonel of the Cadet Corps; Char- acter Builders S. S.

Page 07 Eugene Clinton Tibbs Hushpuckena, Miss. Rags, Gene B. Sc. — Agricultural Education. The man worth while is the man with a smile When everything goes wrong. From the cotton covered plains of Bolivar County we received our Gene, a typical freshman. But from this raw material behold the finished product! A social and military leader, a credit to any field that he may enter. Surely A. and M. has done herself proud in his physical and mental development. In spite of the requirements of his social activities he has found time to build for himself a high seat in the Agricultural School, and in future years he will be remembered as a good student, and above all, a jolly good fellow. Our heartiest wishes go with him and our hopes are that future years will see him numbered among the great men of Missis- sippi. 2nd Lieut. Co.

There are many types of men in this world. Some are cultured and refined but lack common sense; others have common sense but lack the culture and refinement required to make them a benefit to society. Cliff Talbert is a man that has both common sense and the culture and refine- ment necessary to cause his friendship to be coveted. Cliff is a fine, congenial, level-headed chap. He is the type of man that does the job in grand style. The Reveille is an example of one of his achievements. As its business manager, he worked with Cook to the best end that the publicatio n has ever reached. We do not worry for his success, for he is the type of fellow who will punch it such a hard lick its doors will be opened to him. All that is necessary for his classmates to wish for him is a charming Airs. Talbert. Class Football ' 20; Vice-Pres.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first zve try to deceive. ' Charles, or Tim Bees, as he is generally known to his many friends, came down from the metropolis of Tishomingo County in the fall of 1919 as a freshman in the freshest sense of the word. But under the careful attention of the Sophs., this phase of his character soon disappeared. Due to un- avoidable reasons he did not return in 1921, but the class of ' 24 gladly received him into their fold the next year. He is esteemed highest by those who know him best. In him we find the character of a true gentleman and under his blushing brow there is great admiration for the opposite sex. From the very beginning of his career here he has been diligent and conscientious in his work and has been rewarded by no small degree of success. The height of his ambition has been to compute a ration that will meet the require- ments of both the dairy cow and Dr. Barnett. His college achievements argue well for his success in the future.

Take hold is just what he did; this product of Ole Calhoun County with four years of diligent work, he leaves us a man of well- rounded ability in the work of Agricultural Education as his calling, and service as his hobby. He is not gifted to making noise but is always in the A-i class when it comes to tests. By his forceful personality and square- deal policy, he has placed himself on the summit with both Faculty and Student body. It is a lucky domain that gets his services.

Sin has many tools, but a lie is a handle that fits them all. Jim was, perhaps, the greenest prep that Noxubee County could have sent to A. and M. in ' 14. He stuck until May ' 16. In March, ' 17, Jim joined the Army, re- mained in Texas for a short time, and went as a member of the First Expeditionary Force to Europe in June, ' 17. He took part in Sissons, Second Battle of the Marne, and Chateau-Thierry. He was wounded at Sissons on June 19, ' 18. After being dis- charged from the Army he returned to A. and M. in March, ' 21. He has helped in every way to make ' 24 a good class. Jim is honest and truthful. We wish him success wherever he may go. He is our friend and we are his. Noxubee County Club; Greater Service S. S.

After a circle with Uncle Sam ' s Navy, Natural abandoned the tall timbers of Greene County and entered the Freshman Class in the fall of ' 20. From that time he has worked hard and made himself popular among his fellow students and instructors alike. His vision is deep and broad. It is a joy to know him and watch his movements. He fixes attention upon an object or an idea and, with an intensity of enthusiasm for its importance, discloses a matchless power which seems to lie in concentration. Natural is a member of the Southern Basketball Championship Team. He is small, but every inch a stature of durability. He is a friend and a gentleman to all. The best wishes of the class follow you into the bright fortunes that await you. Masonic Club; Navy Club; Varsity Basket- ball ' 23- ' 24; Vice-Pres. Dialectic Literary Society; Baraca S. S.

It is not whether you win or lose, But how well you play the game. This is Vick — the soldier, and scientist. Enlisted in the army at the beginning of the war as a private, he served with the A. E. F. two years and was twice wounded. A. M. is a world traveler and an astute philosopher. He served our country on the Rio Grande, in England, France and Germany, and has resided in Switzerland among the Alps. During his sojourn in foreign lands, and on the bloody battlefields, he became convinced that a college education would be of value to him. He left us at the beginning of the spring term of his junior year and was out of school an entire term. The loss of the term did not interfere with his college work in as much as he will finish with his class. Agri- cultural education is his chosen field and friendship his hobby. Vick, we hate to lose you but the world needs you. Sergeant in A. E. F. ' i8- ' i9; decorated for bravery in the battle of Argonne Forrest, Oct., ' 18; Jones County Club. John C.

His college life has been marred by no untoward incident and he leaves with a record for discipline rarely equaled. At the summer camp at Fort Barrancas during 1923 he was noted for his application to duty and to helping the Government out as a prohibition officer. During his Senior year as hall inspector Johnnie invented a new and most efficient method for breaking the boys out for reveille, which has met with general approval.

Claude B. Sc— Agricultural Education. Much indeed can one man do, If he does both act and know. Claude plunged right into his work and began climbing the ladder of fame; being a conscientious and a clear thinker, he has taken his course step by step until he has worked his way to the top. Some people in working their way to the top have no con- sideration for others and think only of themselves; Claude has not done this. He has brought others up with him and has cultivated the friendship of all of his fellow students. When he plays he puts his whole soul into it — when he studies he does like- wise. Claude ' s ambition will send him to the profession of Dentistry. Wherever he goes he cannot fail to do credit to himself and his Alma Mater. Only one who has won the esteem of all as Claude has during his four college years can make good in the future. We all have confidence in Claude ' s ability to show the world that A. and M. always tries to instill in the hearts of its sons — Duty, Honor, and Fidelity. Captain Co.

Now, knights and bards are noted for their absence, so it behooves us to use this means of heralding his praises. Speedy, the all-round man, has become noted as the ideal engineer. His theory is proven by his records — his midnight oil not having been burned in vain. His practical experience has made lab work a mecca, and because of it he has become a man who we all naturally looked for when in need of help or advice. His famous smile and cheer- ful greetings, despite his military tendencies, have made him one of the most widely known and most popular men in our class. Later, when he has risen to heights of fame, and we continue to sing his praises, we anticipate the same confused, Oh, hush, fellow! M.A. S. E.; A. A. E.; Boiler Makers; 1st Lieut. Co. I.

He is possessed with the determina- tion and tenacity that are destined to bring him success in any walk of life that he may follow. He is a good student and has made many friends at A. and M.

Study his editorials, and you will find every statement built on reason and logic. Can he do anything except write? If you have ever heard him speak there can be but one answer to that question — Y-E-S! Does he devote all his time to writing and orating? Look at his academic record. Is he a recluse, a bookworm, the antipathy of congeniality? If you think so, count his friends. If determination is to be served, Wright will get his.

Page 103 Jesse Howell Weatherby Canton, Miss. . Jess B. Sc. — Chemistry. Let me live in my house by the side of the road And be a friend of man. In the fall of 1920 Jess grimly tore loose from the tearful fair damsels of Canton to enter the School of Science of our Alma Mater. Although he decided early in his course to major in chemistry, he has picked rather high marks as targets in the whole Science School. But fortunately for us he has stuck to chemistry, and is bidding fair to fathom the ultimate wherefore of chemical behavior. His coming from Canton has been held against him somewhat, but despite this he has developed into an amicable chap. Un- like our friend Kipling, he is a ' and with the ladies. The only trouble is that he is innocent and unsuspecting, and is, therefore, only too fair a mark for the designing. We have no anxiety for Jess ' welfare or success, for he is by nature a man of high ideals and ambitions, and under the guidance of these he is going to stop at no ordinary attain- ment.

Friendship above all ties does bind the heart; And faith in friendship is the noblest part. Sue hails from Charleston, the metrop- olis of Tallahatchie County. Everyone knows him as the boy with the million-dollar smile. His pleasing and attractive personality has claimed for him a host of friends. As a student none could excel him; as a friend, none could be truer; as a man none could be better. Sue has mixed frivolity with education and the mixture has been a suc- cessful one, indeed. His highest ambition i to become a great engineer, and then, to pass ofL his Starkville Lab with Highest Honors. The best of luck to you, Sue. Lee Guards; Vice-Pres.

Sc. — Agricultural Education So live that when your life may end All men will say I ' ve lost a friend. Every question has two sides to it or it is no question; just so with men — they have two sides or they are not men. Percy on one hand is a serious-minded, consci- entious person, considerate of his fellow man. On the other hand, he is jovial, care-free, good-natured, and is always ready for some innocent fun. The former quality is not visible to the average person without intimate contact and close associa- tion with the inner and better part of Percy. The latter characteristic is, on the other hand, readily noticeable to every one at large and for this reason he is well known among his associates. A mixture of the two assets of character as they are blended together in Percy are sufficient to carry any man to the goal of his desire, and in the future we will look to see the name of this gallant youth inscribed on the walls of fame. Luck to you, old man, as you ride over the waves of life. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet; Angels of the Dust Path; Soda Jerkers Club; Sec. Fellowship S. S. Class; Education Club; Winston County Club; 2nd Lieut.

Gatch entered A. and M. with the class of ' 24 and has been one of the main cogs in the making of history for his class and school. Although a native of Illinois, Gatchell claims Moorehead, Miss., as his home. A man with strength of character and high ideals, coupled with a love for work — the result an enviable college record. He retains the everlasting friendship of the student body and the respect of the faculty. Although Gatchell has taken an interest in all phases of college life, his name will go down in the hall of fame due to his athletic ability. Gatch is a giant of a man, being six feet two inches in height and weighing about two hundred pounds. Add to this brawn a generous supply of brains and you have an excellent combina- tion, a man who plays the game, the type of men we like to have represent our school as an athlete. For three years he has held down a regular berth on the football eleven, is holder of the Southern inter- collegiate record in the discus throw, was second in this event at the national meet, is an all-Southern choice for the mythical basketball quintet, and is captain ot A. and M.

During his four years in college he has proved himself a worthy student, for he has kept up with his academic work and also earned most of his way as well. He is one of the leading men of his class, is held in esteem by his professors, and his popularity throughout the student body is almost unlimited. Although he is not exactly a ladies ' man, he seems to be slightly inclined that way. Some day he expects to electrify the world with his agricultural exploits.

When we speak of Joe, we think of a jolly golden-haired boy who has a heart larger than his body. Joe came here in ' 20 with the intention of complet- ing the course of Agriculture, and though his path has been beset by numerous love affairs, we now see him reaching his goal with flying colors. During Joe ' s stay here he has taken part in many branches of college activities and has always striven for a better and greater A. and M. He has made many friends by his genial disposition and winning ways. In future years when the class of ' 24 has scattered far and wide there will be many who will think of Joe — the boy who was a friend to all.

In some way the baggage master mixed the way bills and Sim found himself at A. and M. College; then he imagined he was in some land far away. He enrolled as an agricultural student and is showing his ability by making good in his chosen field of work. Little is known of Sim ' s affinities, but we can safely say that there is some member of the fair sex who is looking forward to many of life ' s happy days.

Page J 08 Page ioq Junior Qlass History TN THE autumn of 1921 there was ushered into this College A of ours a body of good men and true, destined from the be- ginning to be leaders in all college activities. That they have proved themselves such is evidenced by the multiplicity of their achievements in the military, the academic, the athletic, and the social phases of college life. The men of ' 25 have made their impression in no uncertain manner along all the above lines. And during this, their junior year, the year of specialization, they have realized to a man the responsibilities resting upon them to take ad- vantage of every opportunity offered by the State through this institution to make of themselves worthy students and worthy men. To this end they are conscientiously preparing them- selves to give back to Mississippi in service and in citizen- ship an adequate return on the investments that the State had made for the benefit of the coming generation in which the class of ' 25 is very sure to make a shining mark. — W.

Q TBtt HUnF J Page 131 Lieut. -Col. R. E. Gkinstead Professor of Military Science and Tactics THROUGHOUT the ages men have been controlled by leaders. It is a human instinct. Social, political, industrial and religious developments have come about through leaders. The Reserve Officers ' Training Corps is an organized effort to make intelligent, capable, law abiding leaders of men. The military policy of the United States is to take as many men as possible out of the reserves at large and prepare them for and enroll them in the Organ- ized Reserves. The Reserve Officers ' Training Corps was created for this special purpose, and is the greatest training school where men of the reserves at large are prepared for commission in the Organized Reserves. During the scholastic year ending in 1923, 68,580 students in the United States received instruction in the Senior Division of the Corps, and 3,758 graduates were commissioned in the Officers ' Reserve Corps. The Reserve Officers ' Training Corps is not a scheme of the War Depart- ment. It is a military policy of the sovereign people of this country, expressed by the Congress of the nation in the National Defense Act, amended, of June 4, 1920. The War Department is simply trying to carry out that policy. Each member of the R. O. T. C. should feel a deep pride in being enrolled with those who are doing, in that particular at least, just that much more than other citizens, to fit themselves for the full measure of citizenship.

No wonder the team chose him for their captain. 1923 Football The results of the 1923 football season far exceeded the hopes of even the most enthusiastic supporters A. M. had. As the games rolled by the Bulldogs became feared as a team that upset dope. Entering the Vandy game without a chance acceded them, the Bulldogs showed the old fight by holding the Commodores to a 0-0 tie. Illinois realized our calibre when we held them scoreless during the latter half of the game, and threatened to score three different times. Until Florida met A. and M. they claimed southern honors. But within three minutes after the first whistle blew the Aggies had scored a touchdown, using only straight football. The ' Gators considered themselves lucky to get a tie at 13-13. Ole Miss was defeated again. Millsaps and Ouichata, also, bowed to the Bulldog onslaught, as Union was forced to do later. The same old hoodoo in Memphis caused us to lose a heart- IQ2J Football Team Page lb 2 1923 Football breaking game to Tennessee there. The last game of the year was played on Dad ' s Day against L.

With five games won, two tied and two lost, and with a ranking of fifth in the S. I.

I. C. Freshman football championship and the record of not having been scored on during the season. Corinth High School, Winston County A. H. S. and Miss. Heights Academy were defeated. The Bull Pups played Alabama Rats, who had just defeated Vandy and Ga. Tech., to a scoreless tie. The result was a bad disappointment to A. and M. because the Pups completely outclassed the ' Bama Rats all thru the game. The annual tilt with Ole Miss was prevented by rain. We will not hazard a guess at what the probable score would have been, but suffice it to say that the week before playing us Miss. Heights delivered a crushing defeat to the Ole Miss. Freshies.

Cochran Race Horse sacrificed laurels for himself many a time in order to get for the team an extra point or two. At that, though, his record in the quarter mile will stand for years to come. 1923 Track Undisputed champions of the South was the record made by Coach Hayes and his brilliant track team for 1923. The goal to which we had been aspir- ing for many years was finally reached. We are content. As a starter for the season, the team journeyed down to Baton Rouge to engage L. S. U., then the Southern champs, in a dual meet. Things went along nip and tuck at first, but after Cochran had defeated Helm in both the one hundred and two-twenty yard dashes and Priester had thrown the javelin way over the Southern record, the Tigers were forced to drop back a few points and the Bull- dogs won, 63-49. Then came the Ga. Tech. Relay Carnival, with A. and M. carrying off first honors again by winning five events — the four-mile, the mile and the half mile relays, the 120 high hurdles and the javelin throw. Page 172 1923 Track Tulane was taken on the next week. The Aggies won an overwhelming victory to the score of 90-27. Then came the Southern meet in Crampton Bowl at Montgomery. A. and M. and L. S. U. were accorded equal chances to win. As the events rolled by they far outdistanced the other competitors, with L. S. U. holding the lead at first. Towards the end, though, as the track events came along, the Bulldogs drew ahead and finished lYi points in the lead. L. S. U. was second with 40 points and Tennessee third with 20 points. The relay team of Cochran, Cameron, Cato and Clark again won the relay championship. Cochran had the high- est individual score of the meet. To Coach Hayes goes a large part of the credit for the championship. His superior coaching ability, together with his wonderful personality, made of the team a bunch that could not be beat. Coach E. C. Hayes Coach Hayes is by far the best track coach in the South and one of the best in the United States. His uninter- rupted string of good teams speaks for itself.

Only one conference series was lost against four won and three tied. Illinois captured the opening games of the season, but we got revenge on the Big Ten the following week by- way of two easy wins over Wisconsin. L. S. U. and Millsaps were each defeated a series in early season- Then followed a split of games with Tennessee and Georgia. The Florida ' Gators were played this year for the first time. We took them into camp with two impressive shut-out victories. Vandy then won a two-game series, being the only conference team to do this. Games were divided with Ala- bama, both in Tuscaloosa and on the campus. The annual four-game series with Ole Miss was won for the third consecutive year.

On our campus Ole Miss won the first game, but the last game of the series and of the season proved an easy victory for the Aggies. Lefty Rawls kept on with his consistent good work at first base and at the bat. Austin proved again his ability as a twirler, among other things, by winning three games against Ole Miss. The infield is still dubbed air-tight, and to the outfield the pitchers are very grateful, for they robbed the opposing teams of many a hit. This season ' s success is attributed to the unselfish spirit and loyal team- work displayed by every player. It takes a real coach and real men, though, to produce such a team.

Page iSl Tennis Season of 1923 THE spring of 1923 marked the reappearance of tennis as an active sport at A. and M. In spite of some unfortunate weather, a good schedule was played with creditable success. The season opened with the organization of a two-man team, composed of Wallace Chapman and Bill Cassell, both of the Class of ' 24. These players made their first appearance in New Orleans, in a match with Tulane. Against stiff opposition, our men played hard, but went down to defeat in both singles and doubles. At Baton Rouge, Cassell won his singles match, but L. S. U. won the meet by taking the doubles event and the other singles match. Returning to the campus, the team took part in the State Tournament, arranged for the first time, and largely originated through A. and M. initiative. Meeting Ole Miss in the first round, our doubles team succeeded in winning two out of three hard-fought sets. Then we vanquished Millsaps in the final round, thereby annexing the State Championship. A few days later, Alabama came to the campus and was defeated in all three matches. A return meet at Tuscaloosa had the same result, giving us a clean sweep in all six matches of the meet. The S. I. C. tournament at Atlanta was a hard proposition for our newly organized team. After winning from Auburn in the first round, we encountered North Carolina. The Tar-heels were victorious against us as they were against every other opponent, and emerged at the end winners of the S. I. C. title. But our first venture was well worth the effort, and gave our men good ex- perience for future matches. A great deal of credit for the team ' s success goes to Dubose Murphy, who coached the team in its initial season. His guidance developed a steady improvement in the play of our two men. Their strokes gained in speed and accuracy, and their court-generalship was better with each successive match. These men, with the help of new material from under-classmen, should make the 1924 team a larger and stronger aggregation than ever. Paqe ii Page 1S3 .9 I Captain Gatch Gatchell Captain Gatch was selected for the mythical All-Southern team as guard in 1923 and 1924. Both years he was hailed as the greatest guard the South has ever produced. Gatch had un- canny ability at blocking at- tempts at goals and it was due to his superb guarding that the team was able to win games so consistently. 1924 Basketball THE Mississippi Maroons, ' 23 champions of the South, have made a remarkable record and one unique in Southern Basketball. No other champion team has been able to reach the semi-finals in the year following their victory. Kentucky was eliminated early in the meet in ' 22. In ' 23, North Carolina went out in the first or second round. Against the opinions of the scribes and the maneuvering of fate the Maroons met the attempts of the cream of Southern Basketball, and upset the dope in their efforts to stay in the race. Nursing the longest sick list that ever attended an A. and M. quintet, they were yet formidable in every encounter, and able to encourage a constantly rising opinion of their importance as contenders. On the first day they eliminated Tennessee without much trouble though the Mountaineers had won from several of the strongest teams in Dixie earlier in the season. Tulane was con- sidered the dark horse of the tournament- With a season of twenty-six victories and no ■wrftfWBiw.ua Page 1S4 defeats they met South Carolina and by speedy work established themselves with North Carolina as the two classiest organizations on the floor. The Maroon victory over them was an achieve- ment. On the third day they relinquished the Southern Crown to North Carolina who, by winning the finals the next day, established her right to wear it for the year to come. It was a seriously disrupted Maroon machine that entered the fray. Old Man Sikes was at home with injuries; Perkins had played thru the tourna- ment with stitches in his right hand; Buddy Myers, who was pushing the leaders for All- Southern honors, was not fully recovered from mid-season injuries; Norris went out of action the first night with a sprained ankle; Stone developed a case of measles just before the game. Were it not for one thing the Aggies might nearly alibi themselves into a victory. That one thing is that North Carolina had a wonderful team and one gloriously worthy in every way of the honors it achieved. During the season the Aggies met ten S. I. C. teams. Two of these, North Carolina and Vanderbilt, won from us; with two others, Ole Miss, and Alabama, we split a pair of games; but with the other six, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ga. Tech., L. S. U., Tulane, and Millsaps, the Maroons emerged with a decisive victory. 3 M fc Perk Perkins The magnificent little piece of basketball flesh; the most accurate long goal shooter in the South; The most brilliant exhibition of forward-playing ever given on a local floor; all of which are extracts from the Atlanta press about Perk. Be- sides that he ran up a total of over three hundred points for the team during the season. ' Nuff said; Perk ' s all right. Regarding the calibre of our team this year, the following article appeared in an Atlanta paper: Championship college teams seldom look like champions for longer than the particular y ear in which they win the championship. But not so with the Mississippi Aggies. They looked like champions when they won the Southern Conference tournament here last year and they looked even more like champions when they thumped the Atlanta Athletic Club in a decisive victory. Great though the praises were that were won by the team, still greater praises are due to the coach; Billy Hayes, as usual, was the one that brought the team up to the great aggregation that it was. Pane 185 Nigel Turner Guard )ne player remarked that it was easier to get away from his own shadow than to dodge Turner. Which is our idea of a per- fect guard. Old Max Svkes Center Old Man isn ' t much on form or style, but if results are what is wanted — well, just watch Old Man in action. Barney Norris Forward Barney is a darn good little forward. He drops them in from all angles and isn ' t particular about taking the ball away from his opponents when he wants to shoot. Buddy Meyers Forward Despite his mid-season illness, Buddy was mentioned for All-Southern. Next year someone else will be mentioned; Buddy will make it in a walk. Page 1S6 Hook Stone Guard Hook was Cap ' n Gatch ' s right-hand man when the opponents tried to score: and on the offensive he looked like a first- rate forward. Kinard Austin Forward Kinard ' s ability varies inversely as the speed of his speech — which means that he plays good ball consistently. Big ' un Catha Center Catha made a very successful debut this season. The only way he can keep from making All-Southern next year is by not playing.

No doubt there are many faults, but we hope they are counter-balanced by the merits of the book. It has been our constant aim to produce a year book attractive to the eye, editorially con- servative and mechanically correct. In doing this we have carried a few main ideas through the whole book, namely, a harmonizing color scheme, a standard border, conforming division pages and subdivision pages, and panels of plain design. The staff is proud of the fact that it has produced the most expensive book ever published at A. and M. and that the book was a financial success.

It was founded by the Literary Societies and for many years handled by them as a hand-written sheet to be read at regular meetings. It became a monthly publication of varying size published jointly by the societies. In 1914, under the guidance of P. H. Sanders, long Associate Editor of the Southern Ruralist, it became a weekly paper with a staff elected by the student body at large. Since that time it has varied from six to ten pages in size. In 1922 a subscription to it was included in entrance dues and during the present session it became the official organ of the Alumni Association as well. The variety of its clientele necessarily makes it an organ of varied interests. It attempts to touch every phase of the college life, to fairly laud college achievements, and to express student sentiment and the best student thought reflecting all these in correct perspective. Its aim is to be a unifying and constantly growing influence and insofar as its influence extends to direct stu- dent opinion toward the best development of the college and its great ideals of service.

Having had a rather hard time getting his own education, and getting started, Mr. Salsbury ' s plan was to help, in a small way, deserving young men and young women to better prepare themselves, by getting good educations, and in that way to furnish the state each year four individuals who would be good citizens and a credit to their Commonwealth.

The gymnasium was decorated by novel and clever ribbons in green and white. The hall was flooded with various colored lights tinted with the maroon and white of the College. Seventy-five couples filled the floor to comfortable dancing capacity from eight-thirty until two each night. Many visitors from our neighboring colleges and from the neighboring towns, and student representation was larger than is usual with the best of our major hops. February 21-22, 1924— A. and M. ' s best and last dances- are stamped in our memories. Page 238 Page 23g The Staff of the J g ' 2 y Reveille were very fortunate in securing the services of yix. 7lo ZUgfUld.

He: Yes, I ' ve noticed you ' re wearing your hose at half mast. Well, of all the nerve, she said, slapping his face when he kissed her. Well, then, he pouted, if that ' s the way you feel about it, get off of my lap. She licked his lips And kissed him And he held up his head for more. But she arose And stretched and then Walked over to the dish under the stove. That ' s where a mama kitty is Supposed to eat, Isn ' t it? Does your sweet mama know anything about automobiles? I should say not. She asked me last night if I cooled the engine by stripping the gears. Prof. (Pausing in the midst of a story): Have I ever told you boys this before? Class (In chorus): Yes! Prof.: Well, perhaps you will understand it this time. THERE ONCE LIVED A DUMB BELL I took my girl A little while For a stroll Later she told In the park.

Cornwallis: Nope! Where was she playing? Heard in the French Class: First Frosh: Je t ' adore. Second Frosh: Shut it yourself. Heard during Nmas vacations: Oh, Harold, dear, why did you turn out the light? Just wanted to see if my pipe was still lit. Page 2Q Jta Ji Page 2q8 Th« Craro« Page 209 CJjapel— a 3t Wttt A Farce in One Act Time: 11:00 A. M. (any) Tuesday Morninj Place: Chapel at Miss. A. and M. College. DRAMATIS PERSONAE: Prof. Mellen Dr. Walker Dr. Hull Dr. Robert Commandant One Member of Faculty One distinguished visitor One student. (Y. M. C. A. type) Students, faculty, orchestra, visitors (if any). Curtain is already risen, showing row of chairs down stage occupied by Mellen, Walker, Hull, Robert, Member of Faculty, Distinguished Visitor, and Commandant, in order named. Orches- tra is seated back of above named characters. Background scenery consists of old boxes, broken chairs, damaged stage scenery, moving picture screen, etc. Sound off-stage of whistle blowing two short blasts. Students drift into seats. Orchestra begins playing. Rattling of papers heard as students begin to read the morning news. After ten minutes or so the orchestra suddenly stops playing. Student — (Y. M. C. A. type) advances to rostrum and reads selection from scripture, after which all stand as he leads in prayer. Dr. Hull (advancing to rostrum): Now, young gentlemen, — (follows a ten minute speech in which he tells of some outrageous crime perpetrated by members of the student body during the past week. Such phrases as the plain letter of the law has been violated, the full penalty of the crime shall be inflicted, etc., are frequently heard.) Page 300 Member of Faculty: Advances to rostrum and arranges notes. Begins speech on life of some great man whose birthday occurred recently. We will not give the speech — anyone who wishes to read it may apply to Prof. Mellen for the printed form. By filling the blank spaces with the proper names and dates one may have the speech in full. Loud applause is heard as M. F. finishes, as students feel safe in showing joy that the speech is over, knowing an encore is impossible. Distinguished visitor gives talk on some special relief fund to which students should contribute. Students listen inter- estedly as he speaks of conditions very similar to those existing here. Dr. Walker reads list of students who have excess demerits. Reads another list of those who are delinquent in board. Tells all of them to remain a few minutes after exercises. Result — only six students leave when chapel is dismissed. Commandant: Young gentlemen, there is a little matter I want to call your attention to. This nasty, dirty, spitting, SPIT- TING, of slimy tobacco juice on the halls of the dormitory should be stopped. Anyone who does that is lower than a common buzzard. Now, gentlemen, we can get along without any stuff like that. Let ' s put a stop to it. Dr. Roberts gives long talk on some agricultural subject at the end of which agricultural students applaud vigorously. Engineering and Science students wake up and ask what the excitement is about. Prof. Mellen rises and makes thirty or forty brief announce- ments, then turns the dismissal over to Colonel Stennis. Stennis dismisses chapel and everyone is satisfied. (The End) This would have been called a tragedy were it not for the fact that everyone is happy when the end comes. Page ,?o Page 302 Rea: How do you find your trained nurse? Becca: Rather wild. What ' s that queer noise up- stairs? That ' s father singing the baby to sleep. No, No — I mean that queer, rather wheezing sound. Oh, that ' s the baby pretending to snore. When Ah had de influenza Ah had a chill dat wus so cold dat Ah froze all de water pipes in de horse- pittle. Ain ' t nuthin ' . When Ah had de fever mah mouth done melted de doctah ' s thumometah an ' Ah had to wear asbestor pajamjams to keep frum bu ' nin ' up de sheets. A patient hen sat all day On twelve eggs hidden in hay; They hatched out ducks which wad- dled away. Poor hen! She didn ' t know her eggs. Shorty Carroll: I will now take a little hydrochloric acid . Soph: It wouldn ' t be a bad idea. You had to hold me up to do it, said the sweet little thing to the tall man as he stole a kiss. I am going to be married. To whom? A student. Oh, dear, I ' m disappointed. So am I, but a poor girl has to start somewhere. When I was a Freshman I thought a Senior was a guy who wore out two pairs of pajamas to one pair of shoes. Now I know it. He: Don ' t you remember seeing me at the dog show last year? She: No, I believe not. What kennel were you in? When the sunset cannon boomed the passing of the day at a special Retreat formation at the first of school, a bran-new Frosh from the rural Rhubarb dis- trict inquired if the loud noise meant war. Naw, replied his Sophomore friend, That means sundown. Gosh durnit, but she do go down with a bang here, don ' t she? Here ' s to the press, the pulpit and the petticoat, the three ruling powers of the day. The first spreads knowledge, the second spreads morals and the third spreads considerably.

(We ' re going to the woods for a picnic at three.) Monday: Already! Another new week is begun. (The same old thing till the semester ' s done.) He: Let ' s kiss and make up. She: If you ' re careful I won ' t have to. At one occasion a gentleman had an opportunity to give his servant a ten-dollar bill. Now, my good man, he said, how much money have I given you.- ' A ten-dollar William, replied the servant. A ten-dollar William! exclaimed the gentleman. Yes, sir, said the servant, I ' m not familiar enough with it to call it Bill. MEMORIES I thought you would let me embrace you And fondle the locks of your hair, That no other girl would replace you. How dreams vanish in the air! You ' re sorry, you said, that you met me, And gave me such trouble and pain; Don ' t take it to heart, dear, forget me! I ' ve someone else on the brain! First flea: Been on a vacation? Second flea: No, on a tramp. Spark Plug: I hit a guy on the nose the other day and you should have seen him run. Jazz: Is that so? Sparkie: Yeh; but he didn ' t catch me. Visitor: Hey, son, where is your father? Pierre: Paw is down in the pig pen. You ' ll know him cause he ' s got a hat on.

For after this yr., if the Legsl- ature isent joaking, theas manley lines will be shrowded in hoop skirts or other more modest garmets. Which is really a lstrate idea as here after studients with divorced knees other anatomical mistaiks will be willing to anticipate in the sport of the sender path. Maybee Hank watkins and jerry Underwood wooden ' t object to sining up for the 100yd if they could wear less personal track soots. The nobal gaim of footbaul wuz furst took up about 900 B. C.

If it wasen ' t for bass-ball, who would ever of heard of Mr. Jessie Stringer, which is our greatest pill pusher? Also, what would Coach Chad have to talk about if it wasen ' t for lost balls? Also, what would Longview have to be proud of it it weren ' t for Mr. Isabell Turner, which has won fame on the baseball giidiron? The only objection their is to the great gaim as plaid hear on the campus is that Col. Aubrey S. Spears is two rapped up in his books to take part.

Lee. There seemed to be a commotion As the route we should go; Some seemed to like the I. C, While the rest, the M. O. We never could decide Which way to take our fate, But then it didn ' t matter As neither would lower the rate. Some left on the blinds of the Dummy While others payed their way. So we all got to Artesia And hung around for the freight. We were supposed to leave at 7, But then our car was late; Soon the train rolled in — we rolled out. So we got away by 8. Our trip to Meridian was uneventful, Tho the service we got was fine. We arrived there at break of day And we hoboed out at nine. We grabbed the freight with spirits high, But then it ' s a different tale — For when we got to Newton We heard we ' d land in jail. No doubt the cop was wise old hound; But we knew we were Jackson bound. When the train rolled out we grabbed her again And left him stamping the ground. We all got in a gondola, Lying flat on our back. And the train rambled on to Morton — ' Twas there we were sidetracked. But still we were not down-hearted Tho the day was never a bliss; And all you could hear or say Was ' t up, but down with Ole Miss. We all got together and plotted As only hoboes can do. We decided to wait there in Morton And blind out that fast Number 2. The train eased on to Jackson, But we got off at South State St., Beat it on up to the hotel, Washed, and made ready to eat. The time went fast and broke up our fun But then it was time to go. We hiked it back up Capital St. And slept in the Union i;pot. We woke the next morning at half past 6 All ready and rearing to go, Believe me we were right, radically right, We knew we would win the day. The hoboes all gathered at 10 o ' clock Back at the Union depot. They all managed for a lower berth And waited for the special to go. The train pulled out at 1 p. m. And some didn ' t have their fare. We were all awakened at 4 o ' clock, — Some hobo had cut ' off the air. The conductor was mad and started back To find our President Hull. He awoke him, and brought him in, And believe me things wasn ' t dull. Pres. Hull was peeved a bit At the way his boys had done. He waked them up and pulled them out And counted them one by one. Young gentlemen, I ' m surprised, he_was heard to say, That you ' d hobo and cut off the air; Just give me your name and go back to sleep For I ' m going to pay your fare. We had a good time on that hobo trip. We all got back alive; And all that it cost to have our fun Was 20 demerits and $4.95. — Kernel Spears.

CARROLL GOES ON THE WAW PATH To My Leap -Year Love Your gentle message came to me, Can you cook greens, eggs, bacon, and pones. Of love as full as the deep-blue sea. And tastable soups from any old bones; Of yearnings, longings, promptings free, Beat an egg-nog or a julep prepare, My faithful consort ever be. And hide the good bottle, old Volstead to dare? Unknown to me, my charms you praise; Can you pound a melody from the ivory-board, Permit me, then, some questions to raise. Or, beat sweet music from a pebble and gourd; My joy as yours, I hold quite important, Is the canvas alive at the touch of your paint, That marital bliss be fully concordant. Can you warble an hymn like a hypocrite saint? Are you wrinkled and old; are you buxom and young; If your tongue you can hold when I go on a jag; Are you pudgy and fat; do you boast one lung; Or, bear a high head when we ' re driving a nag; Do you halt and limp, and walk with a crutch; Spend like a sailor when things ' re a-hum, Is your hand gentle or of masculine clutch? Save like a miser when the world ' s on the bum. Is your face comely and rosy and fair; Or, be ?. good sport any old time, Do you wear yours or a Chinaman ' s hair; Not give a darn for any old clime; Is your face freckled, a pug to your nose; J ' ll come to you early; I ' ll stay there late. Do you look good in any old clothes? I ' ll take the whole line, I ' ll swallow the bait. Arc your cheeks pale or glowing with bliss; I ' ll make all the fires, I ' ll bring all the wood, Are you r lips thin or rounded to kiss; You ' ll get my last jit, I ' ll buy you a hood, Do you ■ eyes beam with low-burning fire; I ' ll shine up your shoes, I ' ll look to the churn. Do they gleam kindly on those you admire? Til scrub all the floors and not give a durn. Is your hair red or wavy and black; If true is your spirit and game is your heart, Bobbed or braided or swinging on back; Let ' s board the good ship, the journey to start, Blond or brown or auburn or gray? Life ' s voyage together, never to part, Answer this truly, to me, I pray. Beckon, good lady, my one sweetheart Do you knead dough for edible things; Then, answer these truly, 0, do not delay; Or do you need dough for ribbons and strir gs? For SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS, I would say, AYE. Do you love home with its vine-clad bowers; For SIX HUNDRED BUCKS, ' ; who would say, Nay? Or do y ou gad about with the sociable pov ers? Simoleons, be mine! Oh, GAL, name the day.

They are on great generators used by electric light and power companies ; and on lamps that light millions of homes. They are on big motors that pull railway trains ; and on tiny motors that make hard housework easy. By such tools electricity dispels the dark and lifts heavy burdens from human shoulders. Hence the letters G-E are more than a trademark. They are an emblem of service— the initials of a friend.
