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.

His ability as a student and an all - ' round college man is shown in the way he has demanded his two degrees in four years. His pro- gress has been rapid and all reports show him to be a fellow of no mean ability. While in college Jack took a leading part in athletics and was very popular with the student body. His place as infielder in baseball could have been tilled l y no other.
