FRANK E. ADAMS, JR. April 25, 1911 Delta Phi Omega Scientific Robert E. Lee Maybe this is a rather small beginning. ladies and gentlemen. but to us who know Effie, size has ceased to exist as a standard of judgment for our neighbors. This little lad more than makes up for the amount of blank space in the picture. He came to us a year ago, and you would hardly have noticed him. As a representa- tive of Macon. he saw a goal in the dis- tance. Now he is leaving, along with the rest of us. and the goal has been reached. He will be remembered a long time by all of us. Outside of school work Effie hoots a clarinet with the best of them and has been one of the most dignified privates Riverside has ever known. And take a look at him if you don't think that is a feat. Private-Band V LUDLOW B. BAYNARD Baton Rouge. La. July 16, 1907 Delta Phi Omega Scientific Robert E. Lee To till in the space left by his diminutive friend on the left, We place this big brute's account here. From the banks of the un- ruly Mississippi we have this Pelican with us and We're here to state he is a worthy one to advertise the great if rather damp old State. Ludlow. with his puzzled look, has a host of friends among us and although we are happy to see his gigantic struggle to get out of prep school rewarded, still we are gazing with tear-dimmed eyes and halitosis down his departing path. His general pastime is saxophobia and study hall but a careful study into his career up until now will reveal a trail well blazed with broken hearts. Sergeant-Band 4

i CARLOS ENRIQUE AGOSTINI PRECIOS Habana, Cuba July 7, 1909 Non-Fraternity Commercial Sidney Lanier 'Twas on a fall night in 1926 when we heard a plaintive howl on the Hoot below. A fight! We arrived twenty seconds later with a barked shin only to be disappointed. Standing room was scarce even in the hall. But we weren't to be disappointed so easily. The noise was coming from a room a few doors down and we forced an entrance to a certain extent. The reward was ample. Until C. Q. we were entertained by a new cadet on a Violin. Since that time Agostini has entertained on many occasions with a touch that somehow is peculiar to Agostini. And it's good, too. Our friend was what is technically known as King of the Ring for a good while but he came back this year minus the tempera- ment and has steered clear of the well-known circle. He states a distinct ambition to be a diplomat and he has our best wishes. If we ever go to Habana we intend to go to him before we risk any of the stuff. Private-Band' ROBERT DENTON WHITE Okmulgec, Oklahoma August 16, 1910 Non-Fraternity Scientific Sidney Lanier This page should have a gust of wind for a motif but that is one of the regrettable things about black and white: you never can get an idea entirely across. Windy says he is going to be a farmer, but if he does another William Jennings Bryan is lost to the world. He has no right to cheat the public that way so we prophesy that he will sell patent medicine any way. Windy juggled a rifle for a While but his surplus got him into too much trouble, so he turned it into a trombone. By doing this he not only got into the band but with the purifying influence of his roommate to help him along, he got oii' of the Bull Ring -almost. Well, here's to luck, Windy, We are expecting to hear great things. unless we are mighty deaf or in China. Private-Band
