H. L. McCLESKEY, JR.. Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He is just Lynn to everybody he knows, Over all the Campus wherever he goes, Even to the children who love him a lot- Because he's so kind to each little tot. He's jolly and happy-please remember that- And plays tennis so well you'd never know he is fat. Y. M. C. A.

PUGH, Jasper County, Mississippi. After finishing the public schools of his home county, Mr. Pugh attended high school for three years at the Mississippi Conference Training School. After leaving high school, he entered the teaching profession and taught for four years in the rural schools. He came to the College in the fall of 1915. When Uncle Sam called for volunteers to whip the Kaiser. Pugh heard the call and was sent to Camp Pike for training. After the armistice was signed, he came back to the College to finish his work. There are two courses at the Normal that Pugh is especially interested in. One of these is the campus course of which Pugh is star member, the other is the course in drawing. He is so interested in the drawing course that he sometimes spends whole days in his room engaged in making color charts. Pugh has made good in the teaching profession. At present he is Principal of the Carmichael Consolidated School. He is liked by both faculty and students and we predict a great future for him.

RACHEL JUMPER. Black Hawk, Mississippi. 'Twas a lucky day for us when fate stepped in and decided that Rachel should spend three years in our midst. We have good reason for being proud of her record, for she is a loyal Mississippian, a member of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, and is always a star in English Classes, even if S. S. is marked on her themes occa- sionally. With Rachel lessons always come first. Pain before Pleasure, seems to be her motto. At present she is very much interested in Home Science, and her ambition seems to center on a degree from Peabody, but whether or not the solemn looking young man on her dresser agrees to this is not known by her friends. However, Rachel, we wish you success in your Home Science work, let it be in a bungalow or a schoolroom. JOSIE LOTT, Meridian, Mississippi. She doth give her joy to all. Among us we have a girl know to some, as Josie, and to others as Jo-Jo. l-ler mission to all is the same. She goes among us day by day making some sad student happy and spreading her joy among many. This seems to be her motto, Make someone happy today. She has a way of calling to you from one walk to the other with a Hey Willie or a l-lello Jack. It may not sound like much, but if you knew what was in the heart from whence it came, it would mean much to you. ,Iosie brightens the hearts of individuals, and one in particular, if you donit believe it, ask Willie She means business when she says, not in an entreating tone. Willie, bring me that letter right now. After all she 1sn't scolding, she's just playing. That Josie stood high among her College associates is shown by the fact that she was chosen President of the Student Body for session 1918-1919.

Like most of our great men john is a rural product. il-lis college habits point toward success and happiness. He takes with him our best wishes for a bright and ex- ceedingly prosperous future. Purvis has proved an excellent officer for several of the different student organizations. In 1919 he was selected for Honor Council. He was chosen President of the Prestonian Literary Society for a number of times and took an active part in athletics each year. Diamond in the rough, is the term that described john best when he first joined our class, but today he is equipped for leadership and has a determination to win. john is full of pep, go and stick-to-it-ive-ness.i He has many desires and a great ambition but his greatest desire at present is to obtain a Temple instead ,of a mansion. NANNIE RAWLES, Clyde, Mississippi. Never Worry, Never Hurry. Nan does not let her studies interfere with any- thing that happens to be on hand. 'Tis a mystery to some how she always carries six subjects and makes the A listg for, if she isn't playing rook or basketball, she is sure to be asleep. Yet she has finished in fifteen terms and made a splendid record all the while. Many of the students do not know Nannie, for she is one who hides an excellence of mind and character behind an apparent indifference. Those who know her feel sure that the qualities which have made her stay at M. N. C. a suc- cessful one will assure her an equally successful career as a teacher. We are inclined to believe that, in spite of Nan's seeming indifference to the subject of boys, her career as a teacher will not last through many years. Whatever she may choose as her life's work, we do not doubt but that she will succeed.
