Description
Major Wesley McBrayer, LL.B.
Lawrenceburg, Kentucky
Junior Law Prize
"Praise God, I'm not bound by the wiles of some elf For I could not love the sweet Venus herself." "Maj" is the most unassuming chap in school, so unassuming in fact, that he is known to hardly half the Senior class, yet this simple fact is evidence of his sincerity of purpose. In his Junior year he won the prize offered by the Callaghan Book Co. to the law student attaining the highest average for the year.
