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.

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.

ELBERT NEWTON DUPUY BECKLEY, W. VA. Nczvt Matriculated 1921 First Year : Private Co. A, W. Va. Cluli, Cotillion Club, Class Football. Sec- ond Year : Corporal Co. A, Sergeant Co. A, Swimming Team, W. Va. Clul), Co- tillion Club, C. Q. Staff, Platoon Basket- ball. Newt or Doop, as he is called, is a true full-l)looded mountaineer, fresh from the coal fields of West Virginia. He en- tered barracks last year with a diploma from Beckley Irligh, and leaves this year with the honor of having more units than any other member of the class. Nor do his honors stop in the Academic Department. Newt is one of the two second-j ' car men in the school who ranks above a corporal. Newt had only been with us for a short while when he became known to the old men as the best mister on the hill, and as an athlete Doop has done his bit for F. M. S. He was a member of the swim- ming team and starred for his platoon in basket-ball. We find it hard to do him justice in the short space alloted him in the Annual, and if space permitted, volumes could- be written on the good traits of this West Virginia lad. Well, Doop, old man, we feel sure there will be an awful scram- ble among the Co-eds at the University of West Virginia next fall when you enter, but in your brilliant career try and remem- ber your old classmates at F. M. S., for they will always think of Elbert Newton Dupuy.
