A Book that contains memory-laden scenes and faces and ha- enmgs during one of those four years that are among the ha fnest of mortal man s life. A Book that IS priceless to one whose college remembrances alivays recall joys mingled with sadness because those joys are no more. A Book that recalls many of those greatest gifts of L e--fr ' iendshi sJ, j y : Such a book is an annual. Does the 1925 Qui s and Cranks, ' in your judgment, merit the name? If it does, then our ivork has not been in vain ONTENTS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES BEAUTY ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS FRATERNITIES MILITARY ft W rgXnizations EDICATION I EDICATION Student, Philosopher, Friend. These words well characterize the man to whom the 1925 Qui s and Cranks is dedicated. He has been a servant, in the highest sense of the word, of the college for years gone by, and the stream of men constantly flowing from Davidson has car- ried with It a love of learning, a splendid hiloso- hy and a true value of friendshf; induced by the personality of Dr Mark Edgar Sentelle. m P Peter Stuart Ney and tke Davidson Seal HE symbolism and originalky of the Davidson College seal has brought forth com- w mendations wherever it is seen for the first time. It is full of weaving and lacks that shallowness which characterizes the seal of many institutions. Not only is the veal in itself a thing of interest, but the legend that persists as to its origin is one that gives it a historical as well as sentimental value, for the legend claims as the author that leader of Napoleon ' s forces and a greater general than e ' en the Corsican himself — Marshal Ney. About the year 1840 the trustees of Davidson College appointed a com- mittee to draw up a design for the college seal. The committee, being unable to agree on any design, agreed to call upon a gentleman noted throughout this entire sector for his scholarship, They found him teaching school about eight or ten miles from Davidson. The committee rode up to the schoolhouse at the hour for recess and found the teacher at the spring. When he was informed of the business of the committee he at once drew on a piece of paper with a pencil the well-known design. An expert in heraldry has interpreted the seal as follows: There is the morning star with its full rays, and shining therefrom, the radiating light fills the upper part of the circular field. The inotto may be translated — ' Light is nourished where liberty has arisen. ' The bar on which is written the Latin motto, ' Ne I ' ltra, ' passes entirely across the field and separates the upper from the lower part. The upper part is filled with light, and the hand grasping the sword is illumined by the same. In the lower part is the rattlesnake transfixed by the sword and representing superstition, ignorance and sin. The particular form of vour seal intends to separate the light of learning and religion, and the baneful influences of ignorance and unbelief. The seal, in short, is a sort of picturing of the heaven powers and the hades powers, with the interposed horizon, beyond which the evil shall not come. Such is the interpretation given the seal. However, there is no authority on the identity of its author other than the fact that he was Peter Stuart Ney, and in the conjectures as to whether he was Napoleon ' s marshal or not lies the fascination. There are many assertions that he was, and there is inuch evidence given by people in this community that certainly tend to prove it. It has been asked why P. S. Ney tried to conceal his identity in America. The reason is obvious, as he himself said that some of the most prominent officials and highest families in France aided in his escape and for their safety his escape must he concealed. We cannot here go into details, but there are several statements that have almost the weight of authority. Hon. R. A. Henderson, an attorney at law in Kansas, is an Englishman by birth. He said that his grandfather served with Wellington and was present when Ney was ordered to be executed and witnessed the pseudo-execution. He has often heard the old gentleman say posi- tively that Ney was not shot — that he knew the whole affair was a fake. On this point the St. Louis Reptthlir of 1891 gives a bit of interesting information. It stat es that during the reign of Louis Phillipe, Mr. G. H. C. Melady, of St. Louis, spent several weeks in Paris. Some years before this, while the king was in exile, he had been shown many cour- tesies by Mr. Melady in St. Louis. It was now the king ' s turn to extend manv tokens of friend- ship. In the course of a confidential conversation during the visit Mr. Melady asked Louis Phillipe the question: Is it true that Marshal Nev was shot? The king replied: Mr. Melady, I know the fact that you are one of the highest Masons in America. I am known as one of the most exalted Masons in Europe. Marshal Ney held a position among Masons equal to that of either of us. The prisons were full of men condemned to be shot. Some other man may have filled the grave intended for Marshal Ney. Mr. Melady replied very quietly: May it pl ease ' lour Majesty, Marshal Ney was not shot. Records that would have proven whether Marshal Ney lived here or not have been destroyed, .ind to us is left only the pleasure of realizing that it is possible — even probable — that Napoleon ' s marshal designed our seal. i Ik jButaueaaa Rev.

P! 1 P Tne Faculty N PACiP; 12=, lit the I)a i(isoii College catalogue will be found the fol- lowing: It is not too much to say that the student body at Davidson is iiniiiuc among riie institutions of learning. The paragraph then goes on to say tliat the student body is representative of the best to be had in culture, sobriety, ami purity. Of course credit must be given to home training and hereditary instincts, but we believe that the staunch character maintained by the student body is due primarily to the influence of the Davidson College faculty. This group of men is certainly representative of the criteria of purity, sobriety, and above all. Christian character. Every man on the faculty is a professed Christian, and a practical one. If there is a sermon to be delivered, a prayer to be offered, an appeal to be raised in the n:ime of the Master, any member of the faculty can be relied on to do his part. Not only are these men staunch Christians, but they are the one college group that has not allowed the extreme views of the so-called modernists to undermine the more sane ideas that they have. Do not make the mistake that a great number of people do and think that the facu lty is narrow and too conservative. It is only sane. The students are given the same broad views at Davidson that an other students are given, but in a more sane manner and in smaller doses that do not tend to cause any up- settings of a man ' s ideals or his religious convictions. Rather, they will be greatly strengthened and clarified by the influence of this sane teaching. Seven of the members of the faculty did their graduate work at the Johns Hopkins University, three at ' ale, three at University of Virginia, one at Maryland, one at Leipsic; several have done work at Columbia, Cornell, Chicago, Michigan, Prmce- ton, and other large institutions. Fifteen of them received their undergraduate work at Davidson. Every man is fitted admirably to attend to the duties of his department, for as the fruit is always the test of any plan or institution, a glance over the history of the men who have studied at Davidson will show that the training received at Davidson under this well prepared faculty has brought success in a full measure. It is not only in the classroom that the faculty is interested, but in every move- ment undertaken by the students. All the organizations on the campus have their faculty advisers and counsellors. Athletic policies are made a success through the men of the faculty. Fraternities and literary societies have their being through the faculty. PRESIDENT WILLIAM JOSEPH MARTIN A.B..

Tndy the tour years, during which the members of this class have cllmhed from the verdancy of Freshmanhood to the wisdom and seriousness of a Senior year, have been years of transition. When two hundred and four prospective Freshmen stepped off the Jaybirdsville Special four years ago, they found a student bod of five hundred men. The old Chambers was the center of college activity, athletic prospects were not bright; hazing was the order of the day; the old athletic field was in need of repair; three small dormitories stood in a row; Main street was tieep in mud and dust; the college publications were iti debt, and many said that the famous old Wildcat spirit was dying out. Four swift, full years have rolled by and the Class of ' 25 has seen the advent of the new Davidson. The eightv-one tnembers of the class who graduate leave a student body of over six hundred men; the new Chambers, in process of construction; athletic prospects, under the able leadership of Coaches Younger, Rawson, and Tilson were never brighter; hazing is aban- doned forever; the new Richardson athletic field is one of the handsomest in the entire South; three large, moderti dormitories are added to the college; the Davidson College highway re- places the old Main Street; college publications are cleared of their debt, and the old Wildcat spirit is awakening to a new day of greater achievements than ever bfore. During this period of growth, has the Class of ' 25 made any distinctive contribution? The ([uestion is a hard one. If cherishing of the Davidson spirit in thought and action, hearty support of every college activity, and unselfish service to the college may be called a distinctive contribution, then the Class of ' 25 has that to lay at the feet of her . Mma Mater. During the four years of her history, the class has been piloted by able leaders. The all- round c|ualities of Jim Hendrix were early recognized, and he was selected as class president for the Freshman year. He was followed liy Mac Beall, whose able leadership carried the class over the rough bumps of a Sophomore year. Chong Mcllwaine, by his sound judgment, carried on the good work for another year, to be succeeded by Julian Briggs, the popular, all-round leader, selected as the final president of the class. In athletics ' 25 has given much to the college. One has but to recall the names of Jim Hendrix, Flash Covington, Sook Boggs, and Popsy Hunt to revive a spark of football enthusiasm. In basketball the wonderful guarding of All-State Captain Sook, the fast shooting of Staley, and the consistent playing of Beall will be long remembered. All-state third base- m an, Captain Ted Covington, with his cohorts, Al Simpson and Sam Summers, will come to the mind of every member of ' 25 whenever baseball is mentioned. Gracey ' will be remembered as one of the greatest track men of North Carolina, with Red McComb and Hendrix follow- ing closelv. The tennis team for two years has been composed entirely of ' 25 men, and the grapplers of the wrestling team have claimed two members of the class. In literary achievement the class has indeed made a distinctive contribution. Each of the publications was handicapped by debt at the begiiming of the past year. Due to the splendid work of Mcllwaine for the Davidsonian, Lake for the .Annual, and Martin for the Magazine, this has been obliterated, and the class will pass on a clean sheet to those who follow. Space forbids more than the mention of literary society work and intercollegiate debating, where many mem- bers of the class have excelled. The high spots in the social life of the class, as a whole, have been the never-to-be-forgotten Soph ban(|uet ii Charlotte, the memorable Junior speaking, the Senior smokers, and finally com- mencement. Through the medium of the Y. M. C. A. the friendship groups, deputation teams, the volunteer and ministerial bands, and the activities of numerous other groups and individuals, much has been accomplished. There have been successes, but there have also been failures, to be sure. But the real history of the class cannot be so summarily written, for it is the record of the lives and struggles of men, and the greatest pride of the class is the men who are in it. The greatest chapter of this history is yet to be written — the chapter of life, where, when part- ings are over, and student days are gone forever, each will have his task to perform. And is it boastful to say that the present bespeaks a future that is bright with the prospect of great lives of achievement and service? But, whatever may betide, every member of the class will for- ever be a loyal son of Davidson and a loyal son of ' 25. Senior Ch O ' KEY JOHNSON ALLISON 0. K. WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.

It shall he history in a condensed form, for the attainments of the Class of ' 26 are such that it is difhcult to devote only a few hundred words to it. It is a history that the memhers can look at with pride ; they are proud because of the honors that have come to ' 26 because of the efforts of its members, and with the close of the junior year our eyes are turned toward the final lap of our journey when the history then shall be the culmination of four years of hard work. Seven men were awarded football letters this year, five of these having received them previously. Red Laird, Wick Black, Harry Vance, Lucien Wells, Tom Baker, Nick Sappenfield and Red Anderson were the ones receiving the coveted monogram. Baker was selected by the newspapers as all-state end of the mythical eleven and ' ance was the choice of all-state guard by the composite vote of the coaches. Sappen- field was a unanimous choice as second all-state quarterback, and were he a little heavier and couid carrv the ball more, he would have had a good chance at first quarter, since he was the one who sent the Wildcats driving against opponents. In baseball last season Laird, ' ance, Zion Alford and Frank .Alford made their letters, and indications are that they will repeat their performance this spring with several more men stand- ing a chance to make theirs. Laird will be the mainstay this spring in the twirling box, Zion Alford will handle shortstop, while Frank Alford and Vance will be in the outer gardens. In basketball Laird, for the third time, made his letter; Bill Cox and Vance made a second letter in wrestling this year, and last season Red Anderson and Archie Williford won letters in track. So far the Class of ' 26 are without representatives on the tennis team, but with the graduation this year of all varsity members they are expected to supply a number next year. Perhaps the most distinct athletic honor coming to our class was the awarding of a loving cup to Red Laird last year, which he won after being voted as the best athlete in Davidson College. Red is a three-letter man, taking part in three major sports — football, basketball and track. Harry ' ance is also a three-letter man, having obtained letters in football, baseball and wrestling. We supplied five of the nine debaters on intercollegiate teams this year, four of them making their debut in intercollegiate forensic circles this year. Hayden Hollingsworth was a member of a team for the second time, while I ' ank Bowie, Pete Parker, Buck Shaw, and B. C Ratchford made the team for the first time. All of these men have had experience in intersociety contests. Nine men of our class made the honor roll the past fall semester, three of them having done so before. Those obtaining this honor were Hollingsworth, Ratchford, Parker, Regen, Houston, Shaw, Millner, Brenner and Graves, the latter making the highest average of anybody in college this semester. Five men were in the personnel of the CJIee Club and fourteen of the Junior Class are members of the Reporters ' Club, which constitutes half of that membership. Other honors have been obtained by members which naturally come as the class gets nearer graduation. The class ha s been greatly saddened this year because of the death of two of our members. Jack McNair and Jack Miller, both of whom were roommates. McNair died during the fall, while Miller ' s death occurred March fi. Many men of the class have dropped out and we miss them, but these men were with us at the time of their death, and because their life has ebbed away forever, we feel the sting of death still more since it has crept into our midst and carried away with it two of the best and finest members of the class. Officers of the Class of ' 26 for the three years, respectively, have been: Presidents, Sappen- field, Baker and Shaw; vice-presidents, J. A. McMillan, Monk and Tootie Crayfon ; secretary- treasurers, Houston, Regen, and Buster Lawson ; class poet, C. F. Smith, and class historian, Ernest Milton, the last two having been elected for the four years.

I J k i l @H p m P freshman class John sha«- foster, jr pre uiint licliard rilwaril harr frcd peterson vice-president History of the Class of 28 September 9th and loth saw the arrival of the largest Freshman Class in the history of Davidson College. Two hundred and sixty strong and hailing from eighteen states and tvfo foreign countries, we made up a pretty heavy load, but Old 97 brought us safely to our destina- tion and dropped us safely in the arms of Minerva. Soon after our arrival we were given new headgear which was not to be cast to the side- lines as long as we dwelt in these muddy red hills, no matter how pugnacious we might become. We were also given our pictures, which were artistically sketched in green with a green back- ground to match. On these pictures were the laws of the Medes and Persians which were to serve as our decalogue while on the campus. Most of us have observed them to the letter and have displayed the red and black helmet at all times. Along with our pictures we were pre- sented with a badge to be worn when we could not wear our fresh caps, as we had to clothe ourselves in khaki four times a week in responding to the call to arms. We were given a cordial welcome by the V, and after being exposed to the Wildcat spirit for a few days and being made to feel that we were really a part of the student body, we endeavored to live up to the spirit shown by our predecessors. In athletics ' 28 has made a record to be proud of. The Wildkittens lost only one game during the whole football season, that being to the Furman Freshmen. The basketball team was not i|uite so successful, although a creditable record was made. In the intcrclass track meet it was shown that ' 28 had a wealth of track material. As baseball season has just opened it is difficult to prophesy as to the skill of ' 28 in this branch of athletics. Our time and talents have not been devoted to athletics alone. We have burned a con- siderable amount of midnight oil. The majority survived the mid-term examinations and three made the honor roll, this being the largest number to have attained this honor out of the Fresh- man Class in several years. One of our members tied for one of the highest grades ever made on a psychological test in America. Twenty-eight made the highest average ever made on a psy- chological test in Davidson. The class, as a whole, has shown much interest in literary and forensic work. Many have allied themselves with literary societies and have demonstrated their skill in debating and writing. Those who have been at the helm are: J. S. Foster, president; R. E. Wilson, vice-president, and II. F. Peterson, secretary-treasurer. ' Twenty-eight is going to endeavor to be worthy of the principles for which our . lm3 Mater stands and win in e ' er thing for the honor of old Davidson. iresn man class akers, John rnccnrkle a.l . z lincolnton, n. c. alderman, benjamin geer b.s. i alcolu, s. c. anderson, waiter a.h. 2 st.

I,. Richardson, of (Greensboro, N. C, president of the Alumni Association. At the present time the field lacks only the concrete stadium to rank it among the best planned plants of tjie Soutli. These concrete seats will be added as soon as the financial condition of the college permits. Official statement is that this will not be many years. Last fall, when the great Carolina game was approaching with no possibility of handling the crowds on Richardson Field, Dr. James M. Douglas and three othei alimini showed their very great interest and devotion to the college. AH four signed personal notes to enable the Athletic Association to purchase six thousand temporary seats, which lined two sides and one end of the field as the greatest crowd in the his- tory ' as orderly hamlleil. Three banquets were given the football team that so valiantly fought for David- son. The first followed the Furman University game when the Richland County Asso- ciation entertained at Columbia, S. C. Following the successful season the (jaston County Alumni Association also gave the football team a banquet — in ( astonia. This was the second banquet in six months for that group of Da idson men, as in the spring they had so honored the baseball team following the Trinity College game. The Charlotte Alumni Association signally honored the same gridiron squad in the crowning feature of the year when, on the night of the Georgia Tech basketball game, they were hosts to the team and coaches. Besides a delightful banquet the Queen City men presented to the letter men gold footballs appropriately engraved. So as the Alumni Associations and th? college are becoming more and more con- genial and co-operative, the future of Davidson along athletic lines looks brighter than in the past.

Coaches Younger, Tilson and Rawson have rendered an invaluable aid to the college by their whole-hearted support and tine work. All have labored hard to perfect the men in the various branches of athletics, and the results can be seen in the records the bootball, basketball, and baseball teains have left be- hind them during the past year. Coach Monk Younger is a true Wildcat, having been started on the road to stardom here at Davidson, where he won four letters in one single year. After making good as an athlete at V. P. I., and coaching there sev- eral years, he returned to Davidson in the fall of 1923 to head the athletic departinent here. His has been a record of which to be proud, for he has not only put out winning teams, but teams that have made names for them- selves for their fair play and good sportsman- ship. He has gained the admiration of every man on the campus for his fair treatment of all alike, and by his interest in each and every inan, he has proved himself something more than a teacher. He has instilled the love of a hard game into the spirits of his pupils, one of his main points being that the way the game is played is the thing, and not the wiiMier. S. D. Tex Tilson, during his two years at Davidson, has done much towards strength- ening the football teams, and the track teain uf this spring. After a four-year sojourn at ' . P. I., where he gained recognition as a great football player, he came to Davidson with Monk Younger, and has been instru- mental in building up a charging line that has shown its mettle in the many hard games that it has come through with flying colors. K taking a course in track coaching last year, lie has prepared himself for track coach here this vear. He is a great favorite among the students and athletes. Clarence Rawson divides his time between coaching all branches of athletics at Davidson and plaving professional baseball in the sum- mer. He trains the Freshmen in foot-b,all, bas- ketball, and baseball, his training being re- flected in the men that have made the var- sitv from the Fresh teams that he has coached. He instills into his men the love of clean fighting and pep. And, knowing the game as he does, from all angles, he has been able to teach his proteges the ways of true sports- Football Resume IIK fnathall season nf 1924 tiult-a in :i blaze of glory for the fighting Wildcats, who gave blow for blow in every game that they played during the season. From the C MJI r ' defeat of Elon on the home Held, to the glorious comeback and subse(|nent defeat jf M I KSl ' f TrinitN on their own gridiron, the wearers of the Red and Black of 1924 dis- I tTOTiL-y- played a dash and a punch that ilisregarded weight and brnwn on the part of their opponents, and gained for themselves everlasting honor in the Wildcat hall of fame. The credit for such a successful season is due in no small part to the excellent work of Coaches Younger and Tilson, who labored hard to produce a winning team. I ' nder their tutelage, Tom Baker and Harry Vance developed into stars of all-state magnitude, ruder the second year of their guidance, the whole team caught the spirit of teamwork and hard work, the result being as fine a string of victories as were ever garnered by a Wildcat eleven. With practice starting the first of September, the first game with Elon came as a final touch to the period of intensive practice. The plucky Christians fought hard, but even with a niuddv field, the Davidsonians scored a 14 to o victorv. Jim Hendrix came back strong in the game with P. C. in .Xsheville, and his wide end runs helped Davidson to score 15 to the South Carolinians ' 3. McConnell got his start in this game, earning his berth for the rest of the season. Captain Davis showed his pigskin ability in his own home town of Winston-Salem, when he helped to defeat University of Richmond by a 7 to o score. This game was a tight one, and it was not won without a hard fight. The much-talked-of team from Lenoir came to Davidson and was sent back to its lair, losers by a lop-sided score of 45 to o. Coach Vounger ' s men were ready for anythiiig, but found the going easy. The light line of the ' ildcats held and tossed back the MountaiTi Bears for uncounted losses. Davidson ' s goal line was crossed first in the fiercely contested tilt with Furman at the South Carolina state fair. Sapp and Hunt made repeated runs through the enemy ' s line, hut we failed to score. Furman gained their marker on a blocked punt. The entire team played as a man in defeating Clemson in Charlotte. The hard line plunging and the perfectly executed passes could not be stopped. It was in this game that Vance and ]?aker starred as the had never before. With only a few minutes to play, the Wildcats staged a heroic rally in the game with State at I inehurst, and tied the score, 10 to 10, by a long 72-yard rush down the field. The entire game was fought against odds, but the un iuenchable spirit of the felines never flickered out. The Carolina game was a perfect exhibition of football. Although the Wildcats lost by two field goals, the final score being 6 to o, the entire game was marked with a fierce determination and vigor. Neither team gave in for a single minute, and the largest crowd that ever witnessed a game in Western Carolina looked on with admiring eyes. The team rested secure with the knowledge that they had given all they had. Another fourth quarter rally enabled the Wildcats to upset all sorts of dope and defeat the Methodists on their own grounds, 21 to 13. Thus ended a successful season from every stand- point. Much credit is due to the coaches and to the entire personnel of the football sijuad. The student body was behind the team at all times, cheering and urging them on. Fhe alumni were ready at all times to lend a helping hand or encouraging voice of approval. Certainly, it can be said that the season of 1924 was one of the best that Davidson ever had. With a team averaging many pounds lighter than any of the teams met, she came through to seven glorious victories and to two honorable defeats, that were victories within themselves.

Tke N orris AtKh etic Trophy The Norn ' s Athletic Tio|ih , presented annually to the hest all-round athlete of Davidson, by Norris, Inc., of Atlanta, Georgia, was offered for the first time in 1924, and won by Green Flake Laird, of the Class of 1926. The trophy, a sixteen-inch silver cup mounted on a hardwood base, is the highest award for athletic |irowess at Davidson. Flake Laird, by irtue of wiruu ' nfi his D and star iji baseball, football, and basketball, was awarded this cup by the vote of the e ntire student body in the spring of 1924. From that memorable fall day of 1922, when Laird snatched a Gobbler pass from mid-air, racing seventy yards for what proved to be the tying touchdown of one of the greatest Wildcat battles, till Thanksgiving Day of 1924, when his place kick brought the first Davidson victory over a Trinity football eleven, Plake has ever ranked among the foremost athletes on the Davidson campus. His work at tackle has bro ight him considerable attention in the North Carolina sporting world, and to Da idson much honor. During the spring of 1924 his work on the baseball nine ranked him as the leading Wildcat pitcher. His victory over Carolina was the first on the diamond in several years. A hard worker and a heavy hitter, he was ever a leader of the Davidson team. It was, however, on the hardwood court that Laird first won his D, as in his freshman year he ran wild at forward. He has held down this position in both the two years following. His weight, combined with his aggressive |ila ing, and steady shooting, make the quint a very valuable player. Laird is from Decatur, (Georgia, and is ;i member of the Kajipa Sigma fraternity at Davidson. 119 m M P 1 A3 i? ' .C 5 C 2 Davidson P! 1 R esume FresK reshman Reason W ' liiiiiiifi all but one of the se eii jjames of the 1924 football season, Coach Clarence Rawson ' s freshman squad rivalled the Da idson varsit ' in success. For six consecutive times th? Vildkittens flashed brilliantly as they overpowered their opponents in some of the best first year games of the Carolinas, only to lose the final contest to the great Furman University team. This brought to an end all hopes of the championship of the two Carolinas. Save for this final contest, when the heavier Hurri- cane- team crashed through the Wildkittens for four touchdowns, only two times during the season was the Diuidson goal line crossed. Scoring 136 points to their opponents ' total of 47, the David.son yearlings showed that Rawson had dexeloped a fast and smoothly working machine. Vith Captain T ick (irey scoring thirteen points, the Vildkittens opened their season in Mornoe with a H) to O victory over the Monroe High School. The next week found almost every man on the team starring as the freshmen pounded the life out of the fighting Wingate College eleven, winning 38 to O. After being pushed all over the field in the first period, the Davidson line, lead by Ritchie and Arrowwood, stopped the Presbyterian College team on the one-foot line, and for four downs held them scoreless. Then, with P. C. leading by two field goals, Rawson ' s men opened up an attack that enabled Grey and Overton to both score touchdowns and win, 14 to 6. In probably their best exhibition of football of the year, with Cjrey and Overton going strong on end runs and passes, the Davidson yearlings defeated Clemson on Richardson Field by a 13 to 6 score. Vhe Tiger ' s 65-yaiJ aerial attack was one of the greatest seen this year. Scoring two touchdowns in the initial period, along with Cirey ' s 38-yard field goal in the last, Davidson easily defeated Trinity ' s yearling team 16 to 7, again on Rich- ardson Field. Wilson ran the Wildkittens well, as in most of the preceding games. With perfect interference and great teamwork, the freshmen smashed their way to a 38 to 3 victory over the Oak Ridge team, later prep school champions of North Carolina. The game was again the feature of the Armistice Day celebration in Statesville. Although losing to the great Furman eleven, champions of the Palmetto State yearling teams, by a 26 to O score. Coach Rawson ' s men showed the Davidson spirit, as in the last half they came back to hold the South Carolinians to one touchdown. At all times throughout the season the yearling squad showed clearly the effects of Coach Rawson ' s thorough training. His teams e er showed the true ' ildcat fight and punch ; his work at Davidson is gaining him a reputation. The following freshmen received their monograms, D. C for good work on the gridiron: Ends, Arrowwood, Melton, McColgan, McEarchen ; tackles, Ritchie, Grey; guards, McNeil, Maulden; centers, Chatham, Laws; quarter, Wilson; Halfbacks, Grey (captain), Harrison, McMillan, McGeachy; fullbacks, Overton and Sutton.

' ashington and Lee, Wake Forest and North Carolina were the only teams to down the fighting Wildcats who pre- sented one of the best balanced attacks of many years. Davidson opened the college year with a great 27-25 vic- tory over Duke I niversity, scoring fourteen consecutive points in a final desperate rally. The following night with the Methodists in the Davidson camp the Wildcats swamped them, 39-22. A disastrous defeat at the hands of the Southern champions at Chapel Hill came next, followed by just as swamping a vic- tory over the Elon team. Following a third victory over Duke, a loss to Wake Forest, and a win from High Point, intermingled with mid-semester exams, the Wildcats were set for the final straightaway. In one of the greatest games of the year Davidson sent Georgia Tech back to Atlanta at the tail end of a 36-27 score. Then came the great Virginia trip, Davidson winning from Guilford, ' . P. I., Hampden-Sydney and Roanoke and bowing alone to the Washington and Lee quint. On the return they were nosed out by Wake Forest in Charlotte only to swamp Guilford and Wake Forest on the two following nights. The team was fast and exceedingly well coached. Its frequent comebacks, its driving attack and its clean play placed it high in the admiration of sporting fans. Thus, Coa(;h Younger closed another successful season.

Oelaiul, as manager, worked out a schedule that enabled the Wildcats to show their stuff. He was an able financier, and handled the team in great shape. Iu Ik H H Baseball Season of 1924 Davidson ' s defeat of Carolina in a gripping contest played in CJastonia Easter Monday, showed conclusively that the Red and Black team had the stuff that goes into making a great team. With a lead piled up against them until the final inning of the game, the Wildcats came back and won the game from the Tar Heels by a score of 7 to 6. This was the best game of the season, although the opener with the flashy little Oak Ridge team was as hard fought as any during the season. This game resulted Iti a 5 to 5 tie, eleven innings being required to produce this score. Rain prevented the game from being played out. Potts and McPherson were on the mound for the Wildcats, and they did good work, although frequent errors marred the pep of the game. Davidson scored in the second and third innings, and made her last score in the eighth. Oak Ridge tied the score in the eighth, and the Wildcats were unable to ring up another marker. Davidson also won the second game, which was a slow one, by a 4 to 3 score. Red McPherson won his own game by a single in the seventh inning, scoring Captain Boushee ahead of him. The fast team from Lenoir handed the first defeat to the Wildcats, defeating them 4 to o, in a game that was featured by fast fielding on the parts of both teams. The hitting of Johnny Smith and the fielding of Vance were noteworthy. Hard luck was encountered in Greensboro, when the Wildcats failed to score, and Trinity made five markers. Boushee and Laird were touched for eleven safeties, and the locals suc- ceeded in making only five. The Wildcats gathered seven hits in the Guilford game, but could not score a single run, although the chances looked good at several different times. An- other slow game was the one wllli State, in which the Techmen came out on the long side of a 10 to 1 score. The Carolina game was witnessed by a large holiday crowd. Tlic whole team played with a snap and punch that carried away the triumphal colors back to the lair of the fighting Wild- cats. This was the first game won from Carolina since 1921, when Pat Crawford ' s homer saved the day. The Red and Black team lost several good chances to win the game with the Atlantic Chris- tian College, but let the Easterners win, 3 to 2. Poor support and fielding on the part of the Wildcats let Trinity get ahead and remain there until the finish of a 12 to 4 game, which was plaved in CJastonia. Following this game, the entire team was feasted royally by the Gaston Countv Alumni, at the country club. Here, past games were forgotten, and a good time was enjoyed by all and future plans discussed. P! S I5i)i sii I i{ (Ciip iiiii ) nusli (iisjilaNcil his leadcTsliiji tliioujihoiit tlic season, and it was his good pitcliing that helped tlie team out of many tight holes. That game he pitched for tlie Wihlcats against the Virginia (lohhlers in tlieir own territory, and with hig Hakes of snow falling, put a crimp in iu ' s anil that was haid to iron out. He lila ed some great games out in the center garden during the main jiart of the season, especially in the Carolina game at Gastonia, in which he hrought in three of the seven runs. C() ' l r,T()X (Ciip iiiii-Ehi f ) ' ] ed has made a name for himself in this neck of the woods with his style of playing. As a third haseman, he can collect balls and throw them to first from any and every posi- tion. His three years of work on the diamond merited his election as captain for the 1925 team. Fast and snappy fielding is his motto, although his work with the willow is of the class that makes big leaguers out of minors. Smith Johnny Smith, who for four years labored hard for a baseball letter, was rewarded one tor his good work on last year ' s team. He ably filled the place left vacant by Pat Craw- ford, and handled first base like a veteran. He was no slouch with his bat, either, and his hits added greatly to the sum total of the season ' s runs. He played well in every game, scoop- ing up hot balls and receiving them with all ease. Marrow Tom Marrow secured his second letter in baseball last spring, and did some good work for the Red and Black aggregation in the centerfield position, which he alternated with Boushee. He had a knack of getting on base and waiting for the opportune time to sneak in home. He could spear high flies and hot liners with equal facility, as his long legs aided him in covering the reaches of the outer field. ■ D Simpson Peewee Simpson never let a ball get by him that was anywhere within grabbing dis- tance. Like a trained seal he juggled balls all around second base, and never failed to tag his man, no matter how fast. His stick work was good, too, but it was at running bases and stealing them that he shone the most. He accepted ten hard chances without the semblance of an error in the Carolina game at Gastonia. Vance Harry V ance was the main slugger of the whole team, for he was far recognized for his ability to swat the apple into the far reaches of the field. His performance in right field was brilliant. He made running catches and hard pegs to bases that would have done credit to any player. He gave a good account of himself in the Carolina game and more than once helped the pitcher out of a hole with fast fielding of the ball. The Raleigh News and Observer described his catch against State as the most wonderful ever pulled on Red- disk Field. P! S Frank Alford The mighty wallops of this boy ' s bat helped materially in the defeats that Davidson handed to some of the best teams in this section. His playing in left field was always of the better variety, and when called to service as a catcher, he received with the best of them. His work behind the plate in the Carolina game was es- pecially good, as he never let a ball past him. He continued throughout the year the pace that he set his Fresh year. SioN Alford Sion ' s sizzling hit in the critical ninth inning of that famous Carolina game brought in the tying and winning runs for the ViIdcats. As a shortstop, Sion is as dependable as they make them, scooping up every ball that comes his way, and holding his own with any of the swatters. He missed the first two games on account of an operation for his tonsils, but he played in every other game during the season. He is the second member of the Alford firm which has annexed four baseball letters. Laird Just after receiving the Norris cup for his athletic prowess. Red ambled over to Gas- tonia and pitched a superb game, in which the Wildcats won over Carolina. He showed his stuff in most of the games during the sea- son, and led in batting on top of it all. Many a time he saved the situation by putting over some fast ones, and then knocking out a few two-baggers to win the game. He will be the main dependence of the Wildcats during this ' ear ' s parcel of games. McPherson Red was out of the game his sophomore year, owing to an operation, but he came back strong last year and pitched a pretty variety of ball for the Wildcats. Long and lanky, with a far-reaching throwing arm, he could sizzle the pill over home plate with a minimum of efifort. He was always ready to fill in as a pinch hitter, and gave a good account of him- self while doing so. Johnston And they say that a freshman is no good. Kelly disproved that moss-backed theory by his very excellent stick and mitt work during the hectic season of ' 24. He broke into the squad during the first few days of practice and played the position of catcher like a veteran. He ran close to the top in batting all during the sea- son, and it was an unusual event for him not to get at least one or two hits. D - ' :? : Q n a ' . .

Losing three matches to the best teams of the Old Dominion, and having a home meet with North Carolina State, and a triangular match with Clemson and Furman both washed awav with liirrents of rain, the Wildcats finished the season vith little t I remember save the generous margins piled up by the oppos- ing teams. True enough, the little crew of ten men fought _ 3 aliantly down at Raleigh in the state collegiate meet to place a third in a field of five schools, all the others represented by a squad thrice the size that Davidson started. liut match after match, as Davidson fell before faster teams, (.Jracey, realistically nicknamed the track team, carried the Red and Black colors across the tape or over the bar for first and second places galore. Twice, at home against the ' . P. I. Gobblers, and at Lexington against the Flying Squadron of the Virginia Military Institute, Graccy came out of the meet the high-point man of both teams. He is without doubt the most versatile track man of the state, or perhaps, of the South Atlantic. As in the Washington and Lee match, he hurled the javelin over 160 feet for a Davidson record, only to break that record down at the state meet bv seven feet, he placed himself permanently in Davidson ' s hall of fame. On the hurdles, vith the weights, and in the jumps, he was ever a leader. Davidson opened the season on a beautiful spring day as the ' irginia Tech scpiad won, 76 ' J to 49 ' _ , on Richardson Field. It was in this meet that Williford showed the stuff that proved that he had great possibilities as a track man; and Anderson leaped into the limelight with twelve points as he placed first in the pole vault and took off two seconds — high hurdle and javelin throw. Ciracey scored 20 points for high-point man, winning three firsts, one second, and a tie for second. Injuries to Captain Strcibich held him out of this match, and throughout the season greatU ' marred his work. On April 18, a typical South Carolina rain storm cancelled the triangular meet with Furman and Clemson, at Clemson. Then came the two-meet trip into ' irginia. The weather was ideal. The Cadets were enjoying the Easter Hops and gave the Wildcats a great time, after frocking them 96 to 36 at Lexington. Ciracey again placed first in high hurdles and javelin throw, while McConnell was the first man to break the tape on the mile, and Streibich tied on the pole vault. The team went stale over Sunday, and Washington and Le had little trouble in winning on Monday, piling up 104 points t Davidson ' s 22. For the only time of the season, (iracey failed to get a first place, although breaking the college ja ' elin record. Then came the great fight of ten men pitted against Carolina State, Trinity, and Wake Forest ' s squad of from 25 to 40 men. Gracey won a first with his record javelin throw, while Willi- ford, Streibich, McConnell, Goodykoontz, and McBride all counted up the remainder of Davidson ' s points. Carolina won the meet, though Byrum of State won great fame with first places i[i ico, 220, and 440 dashes. Captain C. M. Strhihich, I) Pole ' ault Hurdles After winning the college record in the pole vault and showing neat form on the hurdles his junior year, Captain Streibich injured his ankle in early practice and failed throughout the 1924 season to show the stuff in him. Although handicapped by this injury, Strei- bich tried desperately to come back, but each time only to his own hurt. Up at V. I. I. he tied for a first in the pole vault and several times he pulled down second places, winning a third over at the state meet. Captaix-Elect W. M. Gracey, D High Hurdles Pole Vault Javelin Discus No man ever better showed his fitness to lead a team than did Bo-Peep down at Raleigh, when on the first hurdle he lost his shoe, but won the admiration of the entire crowd as he gamely fought his way down the entire course on his half-bare feet for a close tliird. He was the high-point man in two of tiie r)a idson meets, is the holder of the college record for the javelin throw, and a point win- ner in the pole vault, the weights, and the liurdles. An all-round man and a great leader. A. M. McBride. D Manager Two-mile After winning his letter and star on the two- mile, Ang had to give up track work on account of injuries to his side. However, he tried valiantly to come back his senior year, and pulled the biggest surprise of the season wiieii he pointed in the State Olympic in the high jump. He managed the team well, carry- ing it through the best schedule ever attempted. J. H. McCoXNRLL, D One-Mile Spec was another nieiiiber of the David- son track team who broke into fame in the preceding season when, down at the State Olympic meet, he raced the mile for a first place at faster time than any Wildcat has ever run. This college record still stands, though Spec won several first places in the 1924 season and most always pointed. If his work on the track parallels his great comeback on the basketball court, the 1925 season will find him again leading the field. T. H. KonN-ic. D 100 yard dash 220-yard dash 440-yard dash Ted Koenig came to Davidson known throughout the state as the Greensboro flash, winning his letter his fresli year, with ex- cellent work on the dashes. An operation kept him off the cinders one season, and the 1924 season kept him working to get back into his old form. Ruilt perfectly for a sprinter, he would no doubt have gone well his senior vear had he returned. J. P. Hexdrix. D 100-yard dash 220-yard dash 440-yard dash Jim Hendrix won his track letter his sopho- more year with some good work in the dashes, but somehow in the 1924 season he failed to get into his old stride. A hard worker and a great trainer, he fought throughout the season for the good of the team. J. V. AXDHRSOX, I) High hurdles Pole vault Javelin In the (list nifct of tlu ' season, Red jiinipfd off to a big start with first places in the pole vault, and seconds in the high hurdles and javelin throw. It was his big day of the M-ason, and proved that Anderson has the mak- ing of a valuable man to the team. His junior and fienior years will probably find him ex- celling in every match. A. H. Wii.i.iKoRii. I) Twn-mile The a ' ' illif(nii stuck in the first two- mile run against the Virginia (jobblers showed that he had the stuff of a real track man. Dur- ing the fall of the year he led the Davidson cross-country team through the North Caro- lina long-distance run at Wake Forest. Though losing out, the team showed some |iromising material. Williford will no doubt de elop into a great distance man. H. G. fjOOD ' iKHOXTZ loo-yard dash 220-yard dash 440- ' ard dash Vith the Davidson team meeting none but Southern Conference teams, Harry was in- eligible for any of the track meets save the North Carolina Olympic at Raleigh, where he took a fifth in the 220 in a field of unusually fast sprinters. With three years before him, a great record will probably be written on the cinder paths by the West X ' irginia lad. 138 BM Tj PI IK I Davidson 1924 Tennis Season Featured by Captain Price ' s winninji; of the intercollegiate singles clianipionship of North Carolina, and the team ' s loss of only one meet, to Colgate University, the 1924 tennis season was decidedly a success from a I avidson standpoint. By defeating Wake Forest six straight matches in the only fall match, and tieing Carolina and Trinity teams, together with the masterful playing of Price, Davidson won the mythical first honors of the state. Harry Price not only won the state championship in the tournament held in Greens- boro, but throughout the season he kept up the record established by Bradley, who won the championship cup in 1922 and 1923. During the whole season he met only one defeat, and that was from the star player of the eastern team. In the Colgate meet, Mac Beall alone was able to register a win for Davidson. In the state tournament at (jreen.sboro, after all four men had won their single matches on the first round. Price alone was able to hold his own, which resulted in his winning the cup, due to his defeat of Smith and Solomon of Carolina in an exhibition of great comebacks and steady driving. The team then took a three-meet journey through the state, meeting Carolina, Trinity, and the Winston-Salem country club. All matches ended with scores stand- ing 3 to 3. The record for the year was as follows: Davidson 6; Wake Forest o Davidson i ; Colgate University 5 Davidson 3; North Carolina 3 Davidson 3 ; Trinity 3 Davidson 3 ; W inston-Salem Country Club ... 3 Wrestling, 1925 One of tlic oiitstaiuiinH events of the 1925 wrestling season at Davidson was the development of Jne Frierson from a comparatively unknown wrestler to one of the best wrestlers in the state. In the 119-poiinil class he threw his man in every meet, in record time, except Slaven, of the strong navy team, who threw him after the match had been lengthened two extra periods. He seems a likely successor to the crown worn by Cromartie for a couple of years. As a whole, the season was good. With defeats handed to State, Carolina, and Concord Y, and losses to the strong navy and V. P. I. teams, every man on the squad showed up well, although several did not get to display their best skill, owing to injuries received. Cromartie and Lindamood of last year ' s team were missed, but the work of Laws, Summers, and Vance, the three heavy-weights, was especially good, considering the limited amount of training they received. Concord V was met on December 12, and a 30-0 defeat was handed them, the Wildcats winning every match. Hut in the return match on February 10, Patterson lost his match and Concord gained five points. This, however, did not prevent Davidson from calling it a 30-5 victory. The Wildcats met Slate and defeated those grapplers, 11-6, not without the hardest kind of a fight. Frierson threw his man by a fall, Bill Cox and Patterson winning on time, and two matches ending in a draw. Fach and every match was attended by the hardest kind of fighting by both sides, the spirit of the felines keeping up until the last match had been won. The strong and experienced navy team waded through the ranks of the Wildcats at Annapolis for a 27-0 victory. The most interesting match of the meet was that of Frierson and Slaven. V. P. I. invaded the lair of the Wildcats and handed them a defeat of 17-6. Frierson and Phil Cox won their n.,itches, and others lost only after hard fights. The season was wound up in a good demonstration of the art of wrestling when the Davidson grapplers won from Carolina on the home floor, 14-11. The most closely-contested match was that of Phil Cox and Waters, the match going to the latter only after extra periods. Davidson won four matches to Caro- lina ' s three, Sam Summers springing the surprise of the evening by throwing the heavy- weight Taylor. I • 140 Tne Fraternity Situation at Davidson AVIDSON is proud of her fraternity systein, anJ of the spirit that exists between fraternity and non- fraternity men. The idea of friendliness and equality prevails. And so thoroughly set against them is public opinion of the campus, that snobs are few and far between. The chapters here are arranged in the order of their estab- lishment — Beta Theta Pi being the oldest, and Pi Kappa Phi being the youngest national chapters on the hill. There are several healthy locals working for chapters of good nationals. Fraternity houses have been taboo under a ruling of the board of trustees until last year, when permission to build houses was granted under certain conditions. No actual building is in progress on these now, but plans are ready in some cases, and preparation for a new era in fraternity life at Davidson is be- ing made. m p 1925 Pan-Hellenic Council J. F.

Their membership is limited to those who have shown especial mterest in cer- tain lines of work, or who have prov- en themselves worthy of recognition as all-round men on the college cam- pus.

C. at David aviason IK fall of tlic ii)i7-iS (iiii;mi ,:itl()n at I)a i(lsi of the Icadinsz rdllc-cs th. sfsMtjii saw tor rlic first tinu ' a drill by a military on. It was that year that (i c himdreii and fifty and nni crsities of the country were turned over i|| to the t;o c-rnnicnt tor traiiniifi piu ' iioses, Davidson being one of them. Military training was added to the eurrieulum to b(dp our country meet the great demand for the trained soldier. In the fall of iQiH, the Student Army Training Corps was established at David- son. Due to the shortage of oflicers available for training purposes, and at the re- quest of the War Dcjiartment, four professors and thirty-three students vent from Davidson to the training camp at I ' lattsburg, New York, to receive instruction which would fit them for assisting in teaching military science. The entire college was turned o er to the government. The members of the faculty gave cour.ses prescribed by the War Department, and regular academic courses were provided for the group of sixty students who were disqualified from military service by age or other cau.se. Two hundred and twenty-three men were enrolled in the S. A. T. C. Regular drills and strict discipline were required. The S. A. T. C. remained at Davidson until December lO, IQ18, when it was demobilized. Then, believing that a healthy body is one of the requisites of a healthy mind, and believing that a healthy body is best obtained by systematic exercise under skilled leaders, and believing that military training develops a healthy body along with a spirit of patriotism, the faculty of Davidson College asked the Var Department that one of the units of the Reserve Officers Training Corps be established here. The War Department complied with this request, and Davidson College was included in the list of five hundred and fifty colleges and universities to receive one of these units. From the experience of the last war, Congress saw the imperative need for some workable plan of national defen.se, and now, under the first possible plan ever adopted by this country, the R. O. T. C. units in the various schools and colleges form one of its most important items. In time of need they can furnish a large number of the officers in active service. They are well trained, capable, and will make excellent in- structors. In the early spring of li)|i| the first organization of an R. (). T. C. unit was affected at Dasidscjn, and was placed under the command of Captain A. H. Meuller (West Point, 1901 ). Under the rules of the college, military training is compulsory during the fresh- man and sophomore years to all not physically disabled, and optional or elective during the junior and senior years. Captain Meuller was succeeded in command in igio b ' Captain Thomas G. Hearn ( Vest Point, 1915). Captain Hearn remained in command four years, the progress and growth of the imit keeping pace with the growth of the college. In 1924 Captain Hearn was transferred to active duty at Fort McPherson at Atlanta, (Georgia, and Captain (jeorge H. Weems (West Point, 1917) took com- mand of the R. O. T. C. luiit. Under the supervision of Captain Weems the development of the R. O. T. C. battalion has been even more conspicuous than before, and the Davidson unit is working for a distinguished rating.

C). T. C. Davidson being in the Fourth Corps Area, students from here go to Camp McClellan, Alabama. There, under the instruction of officers detailed on R. O. T. C. duty, a practical and more detailed knowledge of military work is obtained. It is not extra training — the instruction is not as thorough as that given at colleges, but riHe and pistol marksmanship, K. P. duty, and the joys of reveille are stressed. At these camps those receiving training to make them efficient officers are thrown with regular army enlisted men and know exactly what army life is. Everything possible is done to make life enjoyable. At the last camp Davidson did not retain the general excellence cup, but lost out on the marksmanship scores. The snapshots shown here give some idea of the appearance of things. Some show firing on the range, the targets, mealtime on the range, views of the camp, of the company streets, and some of the Davidson delegation. H i k H Publications T is in writing that the histories of the world have come down to us. That writing has ranged from heiroglyphics to the modern press, but throughout the ages written books have recorded the acts of men. Today one of the main activities, outside the classroom, on a college campus, are the newspapers, magazines, and year- books published there. Not only do publications occupy a prominent place in cam- pus activities, but they are fostered and approved by those in authority at all colleges. They are an aid to classroom work, and an incentive to urge men to work and let their lights shine before their fellows. Publications Board The Governing Body tor Stiulent Publications C. M. ilcIl.VVAIXE J. A. Lake, Jr. A. F. SiMPsox The Publications Board, composed of five members — three students selected by student body vote, and two faculty members appointed by the college administration — has direct control over the financial end of the publications. The business manager is required to make a monthly financial statement to this board, and is responsible to them for his conduct of the financial affairs. THANKS Always at Davidson, in every work that requires the com- bined efforts of a group of men, there are those who work for no honor to themselves, but who work to the end that they may help the work to measure up to the Davidson standard. Such has been the case in the production of the 1925 QuiPS AND Cranks, and the staff wishes to express its appreciation of the work of: H. B. Price J. B. Gallent L. B. HuiE A. H. HOLLINGSWORTH P. B.

I)urinjr that time three regular inter-iollegiate debates were held, and a tri- f( H I 1 angidar debate for the freshmen. This freshman debate was something llW7_-Ss@U | iK-w in the forensic art at Davidson. The first debate of the year was held at Davidson in December, with Wash- ington and Lee as the opponent. 1 he issue was on the question of restricting immi- gration. The affirmative was upheld for Washington and Lee by Lowry and Massin- ter, and the contenders for the negative were Stith and Hollingsworth. The negative received the decision by a vote of 3 to 2. In April there was a triangular debate between Davidson, Emory, and Trinity on the Rhur question. The affirmative was upheld for Davidson against Emory by Co. , Elkins, and Story. They received a favorable decision of 4 to i . The negative for Davidson against Trinity was up- held by Wharton, Little, anil Walthall. They lost the decision by a 4 to i vote. The freshman triangle debate was between Davidson, Carolina, and Wake Eorest. The question was on the problem of Philippine independence. The debate against Carolina was held at Davidson, where the affirmative was successfully upheld for Davidson by Stewart, Williams, and Branch. The team won the decision ? to (1. The negative was upheld against Wake Forest by Don Vharton, Williams, and Irwin. They lost the decision by a vote of 3 to 2. Of all tliree teams debating the negative side of this question, the Davidson team was the only one which secured a single fa ()rable vote.

In athletics, varsity sports naturally claim the center of attention. I ' rom forty to fifty per cent of the students go out for one of the branches of varsity sports, foot- ball claiming the largest number of aspirants. Of those who do not choose to try to win the co eted D, a large number enjoy the pleasures of campus football, gymnasium work, and golf. Literary activities are varied, finding expression chiefly in the four literary societies and the three student publications. The societies claim a total membership of about two hundred, or approximately a third of the student body. The society halls resound weekly with sounds of debating and declaiming, where embryonic lawyers, preachers, and politicians try their wings. Very nearly an equal number of students contribute to student publications. The Davidsnnlan, the livest w-ire on the hill, claims a healthy corps of alert reporters. The Dnvi hnn ( ' .(ilht r Mnr nzinr contains the more strictly literary attempts of the students. Oiiipy mul (Grants is prepared and edited by a lively crew of efficient workers. For the encouragement of interest and merit along lines of scholarship, leader- ship, and literary achievement, a ninnber of honorary fraternities have been organ- ized, membership being offered only to those who have shown distinction along various lines. A few outstanding social e ents are landu ' .arks in each collegiate year, at which times the joyful sound of feminine voices is heard upon the walks of the old campus. Junior Speaking, coming in the spring, claims the forefront as the gala event of the year. Homecoming Day brings back to the Hill familiar faces of bygone years. The Sophomore Ranquet is a memorable occasion for the members of that class. Com- mencement marks the arrival of families and sweethearts, a time of welcomes and farewells. The religious activities of the students are largely through the ' . M. C. A. Vell over fifty per cent of the student body regularly attend ' A vesper ser ices, and considerable interest is shown in the weekly Bible Discussion Groups. A number of students conduct rural Sunday schools near the college, and high schools of the vicinity are visited by deputation teams. Other religious organizations which engage in effective work arc a Ministerial Band, a Volunteer Band, ami a Christian En- deavor Training Class. Characteristic of all these student activities, and that which keeps them going, is a spirit of enthusiasm and co-operation, and of devotion to old Davidson. 210 STUDENT GOVERNMENT m FM ' m sL QUIPS B '  iyi3L?i AND R KfcriA ' C R AN K S |} Sl92S«SSlg!SM| mi Y.

A tradition and a hcritafrc of chivalry, fine ideals, broad thinkinp; and high morals tliat have never been sinpassed ; a fighting spirit that turns many a defeat into a glorious victor ' , and that takes defeat with uplifted head and a word of praise for the ictor ; a beautiful campus and athletic field; a faculty of broad and brilliant men ; and a student body that has no equal anywhere in ths realm of colleges — of all these tilings Davidson is proud. Rut ask a man what is the finest thing at Davidson ; ask him of what the school is proudest, and he will not say her tradition and heritage; lie will not mention the fighting spirit; he will have no word for her campus and her facult ' ; he will e en overlook her student body; he will say, and without hesitation, Her Honor System. A good Honor System is the prime requisite for a good college. It molds the students together, improving their standard of conduct and thinking; it maintains the high ideals and morals which are the foundation of the institution ; it gives the students responsi- bility and enhances their desire to live cleanly and squarely; in a word, it makes the college what it is. Vhere the college has already been made, and has a reputation abo e reproach, the Honor System improves and helps to maintain this reputation. Davidson ' s Honor System has done just that — it has improved and helped to main- tain her already excellent reputation. This has been done, of course, through the student body. The student body of a college makes or breaks the college reputation ; the Davidson student body, largely through the Honor System, has made David- son ' s reputation stand. When a Davidson professor gives an examuiation he does not hesitate to leave the room, for he knows the men will not cheat. The facult did not hesitate to put the seniors on their honor to attend church, for they knew they would attend or turn in the absence. 1 he managers of the student store do not hesitate to take a mans word for the amount of his purchases, for they know he will be honest about it. To the Honor System is due this trust in Davidson men. The Honor System takes a man with but little sense of integrity and tells him that he must be honest if he is to be a Davidson man; it takes a man of the greatest integrity and it says to him, ' our course of ]ionest ' is the right course; follow it. So it affects every class of men, imjiroving them in the things that are right and best. The Davidson Honor System works well-nigh perfectly, for every man is behind it and working for it, striving to make it the best in an college, that the student bodies of the future may profit and be improved by it.

It was during my summaries of said incidents. During the occupation as professor of my chosen front portion of my existence very little work that the thing happened. In my happened other than the advent of my class there was a student who must have birth and an extremely enlightening edu- been rather weak-hearted, for during one cation to which I was subjected without of my daily lectures the said student the slightest discontent.

Unwanton disregard for ing psychologists that the world has ever human life amounting to criminal neg- known. That is my own idea of the ligence therefore caused one of the case and must not be passed over with- greatest scientists the world has ever out due consideration. known to be sentenced to that scientific Perhaps it was ill luck tliat made me discovery of the age known as the elec- P! P trie chair. This was unfortunate, but the fact that a well-known planet, Ram, was in close proximit) ' to the earth at the time was an exceedingly lucky thing, for that was the thing that saved this great scientist. A rocket having been invented that was purposed to navigate through ether and thence to this close planet was another advent that tended toward the preservation of my life. They asked my permission to be put in said rocket and hurled off into space. Having nothing else to do at the time and being rather experimental at heart I decided to risk the adventure, so I was consequently placed in the above-men- tioned rocket and sent on my journey. Now, being hurled off into space at the rate of many millions of miles per minute is not a thing to be lightly con- sidered and passed over without due consideration. At first 1 was under the impression that the experiment had failed and I had become an inhabitant of the spirit world, for the heat was almost un- endurable. The heat was unendurable, so, without thinking, I climbed out the porthole of my transportation facility and turned the burning thing loose. This was another extremely fortunate incident of my existence, for, no sooner had I released my grasp from the rocket, than the thing melted from the intense heat caused by too rapid passage through space. But where was I ? I floated rather serenely through something that must have been air since I could breathe it, and came to rest on what appeared to be an exceedingly large hot-house. There was glass everywhere and the passage from such intense heat into what ap- peared to be a rather cold world was decidedly discomfiting. I could feel my- self freezing when a rather gruff voice said something to me that was not en- tirely understandable. My knowledge of languages is immense, but this was a new one on me so I merely looked dis- pleased and said nothing. Whereupon the stranger said nothing, but took me in his arms and carried me to what ap- peared to be a trap-door leading through the glass roof of this immense hot- house. I saw no need to scramble, for the person who thus carried me was not less than fifteen feet tall and built along the lines of an ocean liner. Be- sides, I was cold and the close contact with this demon ' s body gave forth ex- tremely gratifying heat. He carried me down a long flight of stairs into a city wit h avenues, lanes, peculiar-looking ve- hicles and every other type of matter that marks the peculiarities of what we call a city. I inquired in at least forty- seven tongues and dialects as to my whereabouts, but the giant did not seem to mind, for he said nothing of it at all. Then he put me down and looked down at me as if I were some peculiar type of animal that he was uncertain of and I looked at him in the same manner, but, during this time, we were walking at a rate that would have soon worn me down had not my feelings. made me think that I was much lighter than I had been before I left the earth. At last we reached a house and walked in. This house was much like the ones we are accustomed to on earth, but it was much larger and the occupants seemed to be of the same general build as the giant who had picked me up. They all stared at me and I did the same toward all of them. There were three feminine types of gianthood and about ten mas- culine types, but in one corner I noticed something that appeared to me to resem- ble something I had seen before. This be- ing also seemed interested in my entrance, for no sooner had I done so that she hurl- ed herself across the room into my arms, jabbering unascertainable messages into my ear. I kissed her and let it go at that. The other occupants of the room were smiling, but this was no laughing matter with me, so I determined to do what I could about quenching my thirst. Having thoroughly made up my mind as to obtaining refreshments, I walked Misses Shumaker ' s BOARDING HOUSE BARNES BOARDING HOUSE FORDS We Have Them Any.

NORTH CAROLINA content to remain cuddled in my arms, over to the most intelligent-looking giant and pointed to my mouth, pretending to drink, all the time shouting that I wished for some thirst-qiienching substance. The result was that the aforementioned giant repeated my words after me and .sent one of the young looking beings from the room. Shortly he returned and placed a tub to my lips. It appeared that there was liquid within the tub and that the tub served them for a drinking cup. I let no such ideas bother me, however, and drank a goodly portion of the liquid that I found within. It was nothing else but water such as I have been accustomed to drinking all my life. Then the whole crowd gathered in a body and began jabbering incoherent words that appeared to be on the sub- ject of me as I ascertained from the con- stant glances in the direction I had cho.sen for my own. However, the young being. who appeared to be a rather attractive young lady of the earthly type, did not gather herself with the others, but seemed where she had gotten for some unknown reason. I did not mind in the least. At last the one who had caused me to get the drink of water came to where the young lady and I were very com- fortable on a loiuige and began to talk my own language. You have dropped in on us from the earth, have you not ? I was extremely sinprised at his use of exceedingly good English, so I replied : Yes, I left there this morning via rocket, but how the deuce did you find out and where did you pick up the use of my language? That .settles the argument then. our question is natural, considering that you come from such an uncivilized coun- try as the earth, but if you had the in- tellect of the inhabitants of Ram you would be easily able to understand how simple calculation from one word of your language would enable us to collect knowledge of your tongue to fluency. You can imagine that that made me feel good and I said so. Whereupon the giant proceeded to explain to me all the things that made Ram superior to my own planet. The extreme cold of the planet 1 was on had forced the inhabi- tants to entirely surround the small world with the hot-house I have men- tioned. This glass shell contained cities and articles much as our own and was kept at a certain temperature through- out the year. The glass nature of the shell did not prevent light from enter- ing and, as a whole, the country to this master-mind could not be equaled by any other planet. However, he gave me no great need for anxiety, for he claimed that the earth would grow. That was exceedingly gratifying. Say, listen, I said. I grant all you ' ve said and I admit that you ' re fur- ther advanced than the earth as far as science is concerned, but where can you find anything in this dreary place that has a faint resemblance to beauty besides the damsel now reposing in my arms? That is neither here nor there, said he, hedging. Ram has advanced to such an extent that beauty is no longer needed for comfort. Then deliver me from all of it, I replied. This must have made the giant very angry for, as punishment, he had made an asbestos carrier and placed the young lady and yours truly therein. After that was done we were carried to the outer shell of this wonderful planet and given a swift kick, whereupon I have awakened to recount these experiences as they ap- peared in my dream. ■Lf — [ — - - Professional Advice From Your Banker You wouldn ' t think of taking legal action without the advice of a lawyer.

WHEN PLANNING YOUR FUTURE it is tremendously important that you carefully consider what Life Insurance has to offer. OBLIGATION is one of the things that always comes with the much-to-be- desired sheepskin. If not direct and personal financial obligation, then most surely obligation to the good old Dad who saw you through. A Pilot Life contract will guarantee your obligations, give you independence, and prove a wonderful investment. See a representative of the Pilot Life, he will explain the details gladly and without obligating you in any way. IF THE IMPORTANT QUESTION OF WHAT BUSINESS SHALL I ENTER has not been decided, vou should consider the possibilities of the life insurance business.

The life insurance business is a dignified and profitable profession and the field is not crowded. The future of the business is especially bright in the South.

Note: Don ' t Do It A recent journal came out with the statement that there was once an Irish- man named Pat and another person of the same nationality named Mike. After the above statement contained in the mentioned journal there followed a bit of humor that was enacted by the above-named actors and a bit of dialogue by the same persons, but that part of what was written has been forgotten and the readers of this column have doubtless heard it before so we will take no space to relate it here. An editor of a rather widely known college annual came out recently with the statement that his publication was in need of fifteen pages of filler material and the editor of The June Smile agreed with him that under no circumstances should those pages be left vacant. « Having made such an argument, it be- came necessary that copy be found to place in the columns of said annual and that necessity, like all others, being the mother of invention, in Its prevailing use, the following facts and other bunk has been accumulated according to the na- ture of this paper as well as some others that might be mentioned but won ' t be. It has recently been stated by one of the most eminent physicians (name for- bidden ) that onions are a most potent fruit. He goes so far as to state that they have even more power than apples in keeping men of the medical profession from one ' s door. It may be stated in the way of the Muse with the apples as follows: An onion a day Keeps the doctor away. That, however, is merely half the facts, for there is more needed to explain, to the fullest extent, the medicinal quali- ties of this most fragrant vegetable — • we continue with our Muse: ' Tis sad but true It keeps others away too. That highly useful medicine, listerine, must drop to second place when con- fronted with the oils and juices contained in this product of the gardener ' s art. It is claimed by the manufacturers of the above liquid that their product will overcome the forces of the strong herb, but that statement is without founda- tion whatever, and tests have proven that the reverse is the correct acknowl- edgment of verified facts.

The invention will not only mean greater health through a larger use of the most potent of vegetables, but it will also aid Cupid to a greater extent. L ' p to the time of this writing there has never been an account of an old maid becoming so hopeless as to eat onions for breakfast, so the statement that Cupid would be aided by this wondrous inven- tion takes into record merely the young and lissom creatures who have never passed that age of forgetful carelessness. It is noted that love is blind, but that emotion has never been regarded as hav- ing a permanent cold so that certain fail- ings along the onion line pass unnoticed in its presence.

First the potato seed was given its place in the earth and the onion was laid to rest close beside. The plain he experimented on may be found somewhere in the western part of Nebraska.  In that part of these United States geographicians will remember that there are arid plots containing no water what- soever and where practical agriculture is very rare, not to say impossible. The seeds being planted, our great benefactor calmly sat himself down and awaited results which were not long in coming; for in the space of time required for the above plants to take root and flourish they did just that and poked their weary heads through the crackling sands of the desert in the hope of meeting the firev sun. Our great farmer was, however, never greatly concerned with practical garden- ing for the simple reason that he confined his work to the experimental line. •  He has just recently given his latest experimental results to the world, and we will venture to state authenticalh that his great work was entirely success- ful and very important. First, Mr. Burbank found for his lab- oratory the most arid desert obtainable and there planted the seeds of his experi- ment. The wondrous part of this feat is the fact that no methods of irrigation, in- cluding the watering pot, were used in its accomplishment.  Vhen questioned as to the why of what happened the planter gave answer. But it had best be stated why the re- sults were so vastly important and that is very simple. « For the first time in the history of the world, and the onion, a potato and an onion had been made to grow side by COMPLIMENTS OF PIGGLY WIGGLY Five Stores in CHARLOTTE. N. C. side and without moisture or other means of ventilation. The reason, as stated by the author of the experiment, was merely this: The onion had given off its aroma as usual and it had just as usually entered the nearest eyes possible, those of the potato, this, of course, and naturally, brought forth, as usual, tears from the said eyes and on the moisture from these tears both plants were enabled to live quite peacefully in very dry surroundings and with no moisture whatever from the out- side. Family trees, like totem poles, are very needed instruments in the machinery of our social life and there should never be any discrepancy in the use thereof. The great scientist, Darwin, had a very wonderful family tree and the his- tory of his illustrious family has been written of and spoken of on various oc- casions though not always with the re- spect due the great historian. We call the man a historian because it was he alone who compiled the com- plete tree of his family and that is very wonderful history, though he admits, for some reason, that there is one link miss- ing in his calculations. Why he should admit that there is something missing is more than the casual reader is able to understand, for the sim- ple reason that in the record given of Victory Theater MOORESVILLE, N, C.

C, 1 1 5 Rooms — European Plan Connected With MODERN CAFETERIA his tree there seems to be iiotliiiig what- ever missing between the present genera- tion and the remotest ancestor he names.  The one discrepancy that nia be noted in the greatest work of the noted scientist is the fact that he not only gives his own family tree but ver calmly an- nounces that said tree is tu all purposes the exact likeness of all the family trees that may be calculated and that all mem- bers of the human race have the same an- cestors with which he was blessed.  It may be qiute true that all the mem- bers of the human race may quite calm- ly say that at least two of their ancestors made a trip on the ark and to add that one of their ancestors must undoubted- ly have been Noah as well as Adam.   Such statements are facts as far as they go, but in many cases there is no verification of the fact that the addition made necessary follows from what was stated before, for the simple fact that Noah and his family were not the ()id living objects that made the trip with Captain Noah. Darwin, however, does not stoji with THE VANCE HOTEL Modern Conveniences and Good Service Slop With Us When In STATESVILLE. N. C. the ark nor e en with . ' dam, but traces his line of descendancy to such farther distances as to cause blushes of shame to appear on the faces of his own descend- ants. The family tree formulated by Dar- win has been much discussed as to its verification in circles from the old sewing one back home to the most high and noble diplomatical ones, but why such an un- important thing should be discussed is more than we can see at this writing. « If one man wishes to state that he is quite certain some object, in a very an- cient time, is his forbear there is no need for the world to spring to his side and say Never! It is true that the great scientist did not stop by saying that the ancestor he mentioned was his own ancestor, but added that he was also some kin to each and every inhabitant of the known world, but that is mereh the opinion of one man and he a man admitting very poor relations in ancient times. It is that, to avoid such p In our Men ' s Department we carry a complete line of standard furnish- ings, such as: SCHLOSS, STYLEPLUS, ROCHESTER, and BELK clothes.

C. occurrences of great import in the future, every family should keep an accurate and verified statment of its family tree, from the present on to t he far distant future, and that each generation have its own part of the tree signed by a notary public, so that no argument re- garding its correctness may be brought forward when future Darwins make known their beliefs regarding their an- cestors. If the family of the noted scientist had kept such an accurate record there would probably have been no great disturbance made at its publication, and it would be very unlikely that what was stated as to the family trees of all native inhabi- tants of the earth being similar would ever have been noticed, because records would then have shown that the state- ment was or was not true and there would have been no need for question.  After Darwin there came another glutton for the punishment of discover- ing worthy or otherwise ancestors and his record of the tree traces the family back to the very beginning of things, though there was nothing at that point at all. The gentleman spoken of above is none other than H. G. Wells, who wrote his family tree under the name of the Outline of History. p M . In general this later volume of family and world history relates that what its author says must undoubtedly be true, but there is still no verification by any notary public whatever, so the argument continues with even greater force because of the fact that the two trees may be compared and neither has been verified more than the other. To come to the conclusion of this mat- ter there is only one thing to say and that is that fact that better records should be kept in the future and that every family have its own family tree or totem pole to keep the accounts sep- arate and make them capable of verifi- cation. Society is a great institution founded on the principles that men are not born free and equal and neither are women. Each inhabitant of the world has his own and separate part in the generalities of the times and that place under the sun is not determined by how he was born, but by how he does certain things that must necessarily be done. Another thing that will quite quickly place persons of the male distinction in disreputable society is that very simple thing of not preventing the unwarranted disease that may be overcome very easily by the mere use of listerine. The disease referred to above is that most repugnant disease commonly called dandruff and which flourishes in the growth adorning some, but not all, hu- man and otherwise, heads. To allow one ' s self to become pos- sessed of this disease is nothing but a direct breach of all the social laws and is only to be compared with the very obscene act of ordering chicken salad twice or leaving her standing in the middle of the floor. Pickles are, to some, the most delicious food edible, but there is that in social law which says they must be eaten just so and that law of society has and will always cause a very decided decrease in the sale of pickles, for the simple fact that eating just one small pickle may cause the eater to drop very noticeably in the social scale. For examples along this line it would be quite simple to state that slapping females on the back may quite ordinarily bean inherited characte ristic, but is a thing that makes man who does the deed a very rude person and thus places him in one phase of the world ' s society with- out question to either the female slapped nor the male slapper. 258 One must know everything that is to be done in any circumstance and it is very hard to think quickly when such a thing happens as the chicken flying off one ' s plate into one ' s lap. When in the above circumstance the natural thing to do is to say what is thought, but that is very bad manners r STATIONERY ATHLETIC GOODS THE STUDENT STORE Service and Satisfaction Run by and for the Students of Davidson College.
