I ' rom his entrance into the class three years ago, N ' litts, as he is hetter known, has at all times divi- ded his time between the classroom and the athletic iK-ld. The one has never interfered with the other. In the classroom he is at the top. On the athletic lield he is among the best. For three years he played end on the football team and this year he was the able captain and pilot of the best football team we liave had since football was reinstated in the collt-ge.

This IS one of those hroad-boclied men from the inountanis who grind over textbooks as if that were the sole end of existence, and then go out and sneak up the ladder of fame, two rounds at a time, past men who behaved more sensibly when at college. He put in his appearance among us in ' 07 and sig- nalized his advent by shooting one of his fellow New- ish in the melee of a blacking crowd. That done, he retired to his mountain fastness for two years and reappeared m ' 10 Since then he has changed from a gun-man to a pugilist, batting the professors for y s and 98s with a regularitv that is monotonous Dr. Carstarphen made an effort to buy him off by making him his assistant, but he continued as ruth- less as before. . .threatens to get even with the human race for Its frivolity and general worthlessncss and to that end has engaged himself in the studv of medicine. One of his minor ambitions is to get even with Pud Thaxton in some way. We predict for him a great success in his chosen career and a host of friends among the undertaking profession.

He has as large vocabulary as any man in the class, which he has the habit of using when the occasion demands. Grannie also has a serious wav which will mean much to him in after life. His an- cestors for generations before him have been law- yers, and he will follow in their footsteps. Where he will practice law he has not decided, but it is safe to predict that after a few years as a practitioner he will wear the judicial ein-.ine.

Seldum does a t;de in the affairs of men mil up mto view a man like Wilkes Blevins. As his name among the students indicates, he is a native of the State of Wilkes, and as a loyal son, he is striving ever to make Wilkes as proud of him as he is of Wilkes. He is a ministerial student and withal a man. No man enjoys a joke more than Blevins and his laugh is as well known as his swinging gait. Whether plunging through a football line or leading the ilkes fraternity he is a figure of prominence. We feel (|uite safe m assuring him that there is a future before him.

In 1908 Chief came to us from the wilds .( Warren. This county did well to produce such a lad for he has always been known to be a shark in his books. He is swarthy, black haired and one of the neatest little packages we have in our midst, . s a speaker he has won fame by his drv wit and line common sense. Along with his college work he has gotten off a number of hours of campus. and as a member of the runt quartet he has become dis- tinguished. He has served his sentence of four years uitli pre ■lit, and now holds out his hand for a degree. The pr. per conception of Chief is that he is of rather business-like turn of mind, and we have an idea that he will m.-ike rapid strides toward the i;. al of financial fame. -Associate Editor of Howi.r.K ' 11 ■ T Clas.s.
