MARION F. AUSTIN Leesburg, Florida June 19, 1908 Non-Fraternity Scientihc Robert E. Lee Austin plays the part of the quiet but faithful Damon to the more irrepressible Pythias of his friend McCormack. Austin's only breaks from grace are accomplished with the aid of a large band instrument which McCormack has labelled Betty and with the Victrola that is played ceasely in the firm's sanctum sanctorum. These breaks from grace, however, are most assuredly breaks, for they are. as Mc- Cormack modestly describes them, distracting, Austin intends to go next year to the University of Florida and admits that he has after that nothing particular in prospect -this means that some business Hrm has an excellent chance of getting a good man. Corporal-Band I JAMES McCORMACK, JR. Allenhurst, Georgia November 10, 1910 Non-Fraternity Scientific Robert E. Lee McCormack is the noisier of the above- pictured firm, and indeed it is hardly safe to say what he will be found engaging in at any time, for his interest ranges from Writing short stories and manufacturing wise- cracks to reading O. O. Mclntyre and writ- ing Senior Accounts for the BAYONET, of which he is Associate Editor. McCormack goes about all of these various activities with equal skill and adeptness: he is no way a mediocre person and he never hesitates to give his views on things. ln this attitude he generally gives good in- formation rather than the repetition of old opinions. so that he is always a genial, cheer- ing, and stimulating influence-although he, himself, will no doubt object to this recog- nition as flattery. At any rate. McCormack carries with him to his somewhat vague future the enthusias- tic best wishes of the corps. Sergeant-Company B

Sergeant-Band ELBERT BRIDGES DURHAM Savannah, Georgia September l l . l 910 Non-Fraternity Classical Sidney Lanier Bull , old boy. We feel sure that you are not destined to pass your life studying: especially Latin. We understand, though, the reason is a very simple one. You hail from the sunny land of Georgia Peaches. Brenau has always had its tender calling for you. - Those who have ever boxed with Bull will readily testify as to his athletic ability. During any football game. he worked just as hard as any man on the Held for his team to win. He undoubtedly has musical talent, as shown by the important part he has played for the band since the beginning of school. When the Seniors receive their diplomas in May. none will have left a better impres- sion of true friendship than Elbert Durham. Private-Band A
