One of the best athletes in school, and loves to go on trips, but frequently misses the train. There ' s a reason. Ask him. He has built some large Air Castles, con- cerning his mining career. As a student he is a serious and hard working man and stands for the best and highest ideals of life, and last, a genuine all-around good fellow. Our Alma Mater will miss you as a student, as an athlete, and as a doer of things, and in all branches of college, but our best wishes go with you. ifl. S. SIrmnn. i Srlta diiuna. Acworth, Ga.

Don ' t ask him where he received that nick name, unless you care to see him blush. Coon came to us from Acworth, Ga., in 1914, and expects s ome day to be a great miner. He is very studious? but always finds time to go to Gaines- ville. During the latter part of the season he displayed some of his foot- ball, and showed up well at quarter. We are hoping that he will decide to come back and graduate, as he is contemplating.

N. G. A. C. CYCLOPS futnr (ElaHH litstnru. History repeats itself. The very title of this article bears me out in my repetition of this timeworn adage, and in compliance with the dictates of the ages, it is now my lot to glance backward into the dim past and recall some of the incidents connected with our college life. Our president, Mr. Palmer, was the first to find out the merit of the N. G. A. C. He entered in 1909. In 1910, he did not return in the fall term, but made good New Year resolutions to finish his education, and has been with us ever since. We could never do without Cal. He is one of our shining lights in Military and on the gridiron. Was Capt. of B Co. in his Junior year and now holds the position of Major. Owens, usually known as Ras, with Hatfield, joined our ranks in 1912, entering Freshman Class. Smith and McCaslan, Hatfield is a gridiron favorite, being Capt. of the team in 1915. Smith is Capt. of B Co. Ras has attained the position of Capt. of Band. Coon Lemon, Special, entered in 1912, but did not join our class until this year. In his first year he dropped out before Xmas, but next year returned for a special course. He is a member of the College Band. Frizzelle is one of our agricultural students. Entered Freshman in 1912. Haynes wandered from the N. G. A. C. for awhile, and then decided to finish with our class. ' allis, Special, is our latest addition. He entered Sophomore in 1914, and deciding that he wanted but a brief course in college, joined us at the beginning of this term. Both Wallis and Lemon represent us in football. And now the time is come for us to enter the Battle of Life, and we hope that every man in the class will face squarely toward the front and make a winiiing fight. In our school days we are daily conquering and there are fields yet to be conquered. The memory of these golden days will always be held sacred as the dearest possessions of our hearts. Even as these days are happy and suc- cessful, may those to come be still brighter and more successful. —Historian.
