E. D. Willingham, E. M., Pi Kappa Alpha, Atlanta, Ga. Gene is a fair sample of Atlanta spirit, is a sport from tiie heart of the Mining Department. One day. when told by a Professor to go to the mines that night, replied ; Professor it is impossible for me to go. I have been here fonr years and have not attempted to give np my work for society and now when I do try to be a sport you try t(.i put me to work on free nights. That night at twelve o ' clock Gene was seen dragging himself with a mining transit after him out of a shaft. While thus employed he was heard to say Atlanta for mine. He is an adjutant in good standing but can ' t read the guard report with- out stopping for breath. Was once in charge of a body of men who called themselves artillerymen, but he was never known to give but two commands: Fall in and rest. Hates work in the blacksmith shop as much as he loves Atlanta. Was never known to leave a thing unfmished after once conuuencing it, therefore he is sticking to the E. M. course, although he intends to be a lumberman.

Has an unbounded love for the girls, but he doesn ' t tell them of it. Plays pranks on his professors. Is a corporal and when all is said he is a good steady student.
