ALFRED ADAMS Entered 1941. 1941, Microbe Football. 1942, Cootie Football. 1943-1944, Varsity Foot- ball. Alfred, the brain trust, graduated at Christ- mas time, and entered Vanderbilt Univer- sity. We sure were sorry to lose him, but we know he is making a splendid record over there, and will continue to do so wher- ever he goes or whatever he does. A great football player, an exceptional scholar, and an all-round swell fellow to boot. The M. B. A. football team will miss Alf’s depend- ability and clean play and sportsmanship. NELSON CARTER ANDREWS Entered 1943; transfer from San Francisco, California. 1943, Varsity Basketball. 1944, Varsity Football and Basketball; also Base- ball; Editor of the Bell Ringer; Member of the School Committee; President of Senior Honor Society. Only two years with us, and we sure hate to lose Andy. An “army brat,” he has trav- eled all over the continent and lived in many different places. His excellent scholar- ship record, athletic record, and sportsman- ship will certainly be hard to surpass. We know Andy will succeed at anything he tries. FERRIS CLAY BAILEY. JR. Entered 1940. 1940, Microbe Football. 1941, Cootie Football. 1942, Cootie Football and Basketball; Tennis. 1943, Cootie Football; Tennis Team. 1944, Varsity Football; Ten- Quiet, almost shy. Clay has a keen wit in- deed, when one is fortunate enough to hear him in a small group. Stubborn as a mule, he will argue for hours over any lost cause or over any statement which departs in the least bit from his standards.

WILLIAM C. BAKER Kniorcd IlMI. I‘M1, Clootie rootball. 11M2, Clootie Football. Sonny is one of the most air-minded peo- ple we’ve ever seen. In fact, be has bullied and persuaded and tried esery way in the world to make everybody in the scliool buy himself an airplane. He spends most of his time preaching the gospel of airplanes. In between llights, however, he can tell some of the most amusing stories ever told. THOMAS MADISON BENAGH Filtered 1941. 1941. Microbe Football and Basketball. 1942, Clootie Football. 194.1, Varsity Football. 1944, Varsity Football. Fom has that commendable attitude of “laugh and the world laughs with you”— or at you; and it almost invariably does. His original pranks have probably been the cause of many a gray hair in a teacher’s head, but they are in reality comparatively harm- less. HARVEY ELBERT CANTRELL Filtered 1941. 1942, Member, junior Hon- or Society. 1943, Member, Senior Honor Society. 1944, Member, .Senior Honor So- ciety. Very (jiiiet and reser ed. H. E. is a very good student, and also a swell fellow. After one really gets to know him, H. E. reveals a good sen.se of humor and a head stuffed to the gills with horse .sen.se. We are all in- debted to him for the rare bits of wit or wis- dom which fall from his lips every .so often.
