ALEXANDER JONES CHEEK HENDERSON, N. C. ■ ' ■ ■■ Slim Matriculated 1922 First Year : Private Co. A, Baseball Squad, Basketball Squad, Tennis Team, Rifle Team, Cotillion Club, Carolina Club, Public Speaking. Slim is another one of those proud North Carolina Tar Heels, and a great booster of it. Although this is his first year, he has gained many friends, not only among the new cadets, but also stands ex- ceptionally well with the ' ' Old Fellows. He got this way by attending to his own business and doing the things which are right. We might not call him an athlete in every sense of the word, but he has proven that he possesses spirit. He missed the basket-ball team by the narrowest margin, and was a valuable member of the baseball squad. Pie is one of those long-legged, happy-go-lucky fellows who mixes with everyone. Well, old boy, we will be sorry to have you leave us, but we know the world will gain another good citizen.

JAMES R. CHAPELL BRISTOL, VIKI.INJA Jim Matkiculatkii 1921 Eirst Year: Private Cn. A, E(Hit1)all .S(iiia(l, VV ' restlinii Team, N ' irginia I ' luli, Ln- tillion dull, Piililic Speaking. Second Year: Sergeant di. A, Varsity Euotliall, Vir- ginia (lull, Cntillinn ( ' lull, Mnntigram Cluli, Public Speaking, Ihisiness Manager Taps. Jim came t(i us last year and at (ince made himself loved liy all, due jiartly to his pleasing personality and ]iartly to his ex- cellent school spirit. Me is always in a good humor, and just as willing to hel]i one of the hoys as to escort one of the lair sex to a lance, or make one ol his sjiec- tacular plays on the gridiron. S]ieaking ol the fair sex reminds us that Jim is one of our most widely known social lions, luuing lieen present at e ery school and private entertainment during his two years ' sojourn with us. We hear that he has an Affaire d ' amour in e ery town trom Bristol to Eort I )efiance ; howexer, this is only one of his minor attainments. It is on the gridiron where jim really shines. His first year it was disco ered that all he lacked was a little veight, when he re- turned this year all who saw our star center could readily see that he had gained this re- quirement. East year Jim was one ol our most military Keydets, and he has lieen rewarded this year with raiiid a l ance- metits now lieing thi ' highest ranking sec- ond year man on the hill, kie expects to enter V. P. E next year, where we all wish him the same success that he has met with here; no cine could wish him more.

FRANC IS DLilvFY NICW ISIiKN, N. C. ■■Dnf AIa ' ikicui.aikii 1921 First Year: Private Co. A, N. C. Clul., Cutilliim CIuli, Pulilic Siieaking. Second Year; Private Co. A, N. C. Cluli; Cotil- lion Ckib, Public Speaking, Rille Team. Francis came to ns in those last l)leak clays ri[ October, l)Ut it was not long before we learned of his cheerful disposition. I ' heiugh I-)uf was not an acti e memlicr uf any Varsity team, with the e. cei)tion of the rille team, he v as never to l)e lound lagging when there was something to lie done for the men. And e ery game saw Inm boisteriously rooting the teams on to ictory. In academic work we did not find him lacking. He was a man of unusual lit- erary taste, b ir his literary letters he is known, and perhaps this accounts for the number of epistles we ha e seen endorsed with a feminine hand. His ability in the use of Fnglish is not limited to the abo e, liut as a debater he ranks among the most pre-eminent of the school. . nd Duf, what you have added to Fishburne may you add to everybody, and every place along the road of life — and in doing this without a ib.iubt you will be the tremendous success that the Class of ' Z3 wishes you to be.
