From the instant in his Fresh year when he hegan to assist the chapel piano with his vioHn, Kubelik has been a recognized leader in Davidson ' s musical circles. Making a violin talk is play to him, and John Philip Sousa himself has nothing on Bacchus as a director. But don ' t think for a mo- ment that this Georgia Cracker con- lines himself to music alone. For his work in the Eu. Society he was re- warded by a little pink regalia in whicli to display his manly form speakings and commencement ; and among the odoriferous fumes of the Chemistry lab. he is perfectly at home. Moreover, Bacchus is a thoroughly good fellow and his departure during the ear was a distinct loss to the class. Orchestra and Glee Club (4) ; Leader Orchestra (2) ; Commencement Mar- shal ; Y. M. C.

When Andrew makes up his mind to do a thing, he generally does it, and does it well. A good student, an excel- lent writer, a faithful worker, a man of ability and an original one — all this is combined in our capable Editor-in- Chief of this volume of Quips and Cranks. Not only in this but in the various college activities his tireless ef- forts have brought him success. Sev- eral times he has crossed swords with the reviewer in the Eu. Society, and tliis year lie was an important cog in the Senior football team. And as a ladies ' man, our friend from Mississippi is in Class .A Xo. 1 : he can certainly hold his own with the fair sex. There is no doubt that . ndrew is a man of ability, and some day we will say with pride that we were classmates of his. JOHN WATKINS BULLOCK Bullock. N. C. A, l; ; I ' m. IVc have ihi liiiu- hi sport i it ' iiv the hours, All must be earnest in a world like ours. When in liis Sc l)h ear Dickie plowed with sucli vigor througli the football line, the coaches began to prophesy a great future for him in the game. But he stopped, put all his en- ergy into his studies, and the result you see today. He is one of the most con- scientiously hardworking fellows in college, and to see Dickie concentrate is an education in itself. Rut in this he has wronged many of his fellow- students, since he has deprived them of the privilege of knowing him intimately. But those who do know him know a gentleman, a good-hearted, absent- minded, lovable fellow, who will some day make his mark in t!ic world. Secretary and Second Sui)ervisor Phi.

Making the Honor Roll has become a matter of habit with Herman, and he seems to treat the affair as a pastime wliile the rest of us are losing sleep on account of nightmares connected witli our dips. His classmates early rec- ognized his abiHty when they elected him to represent them on the Student Council in their first year. And to sec Herman clog-dance is a treat. In this elongated specimen you will find a quiet, unassuming, good-hearted fellow, one who can be depended upon, and one that will repay your acquaintance. Wlien he gets his Ph. D., we expect great things from Herman as a college professor. Honor Roll (4); Punctualitv Roll; Class Baseball; Second Critic Phi.

A man of fair countenance, excellent intellect, and dogged determination is Gangley. This son of Tennessee is not afraid of hard work, nor does he ride all the crips he can find ; still, when he got to the point where he was taking onlj ' six tickets, his loafing was shock- ing. Entering College with the Class of Eighteen, lie soon decided to drop a year, and by two years ' hard work has been classed as a Senior, and graduates a true and loyal Seventeener. He takes special delight in astronomical prob- lems, and if you are concerned over the oscillations of the epivertical asteroids in their ellii)tical perturbations, go to Carroll about it and he will enlighten you to your heart ' s content. Good luck to you, big boy ! Pan-Hellenic Council. AVERY TED CASHION Davidson, N. C. B. S. : E.vcHEi.oRs ' Clue: St. Cecilia The mildest milliners zi ' itli the bravest mind. After every Glee Club concert all the girls want to know wdio the man was that stood on the end of the row and sang bass. Of course we all know that it was Ted, for he has held this pl ace in every concert, and judging from the hits he has made he holds it well. But that is by no means all that is to be said about him, for he is one who is interested in every other phase of college life, and though he has been a member of our class onl) ' three years, yet he has won his way into our esteem and our best wishes go with him in whatever he may do after we are sepa- rated.

B. ; Er. ■7)1 thy face I sec the map of honor, truth, and loyalty. Craig came to Davidson one of the youngest boys in our class, a stripling in knee trousers, with a bunch of prep, work to cover. In these four years, he has not only made his degree, but has colored it with the Honor Roll. And he didn ' t cash in on his health to do it either. He is now a well developed man — physically, as his work on the class football and basketball teams demon- strate; intellectually, as attested by the Honor Roll ; and morally, as his up- right life on the campus has shown. His earnest and conscientious labor will tell in his life-work, the ministry. Junior-Senior Debater ' s Rep. ; Sec- retary-Treasurer Christian Endeavor ; Treasurer Eu.

Ikey is no seeker of the spot-light, but neverthe- less he has made his mark among us by his constant application to duty, by his steady dependableness and his abil- ity to think a thing out before starting to talk about it. In the class room, in the literary society, and in other activi- ties he has shown those qualities which have revealed him as a good friend, and painstaking worker, having the best in- terests of the student body and the stu- dent activities at heart.

Here is a fellow that is looked up to by us all, for Tom is in a class bj ' him- self when it comes to height. Big of stature, his heart and intellect are in proportion. When he crams a cigar back in one corner of his mouth, and begins talking out of the other corner, } ' ou may be assured that what he says is going to be to the point. Tom seems bound to succeed in everything he en- ters, whether it be in his student or in his business activities, where he is es- pecially prominent. Judging from his success here, we will say that he will some day be a business man of whom we will be proud.

EVELYN HARRISON HAMILTON Atlanta, Ga. A. B. ; F.u. ; T There ' s nothing ill eau dwell in siieh a temple. This light-haired son of Atlanta re- turned to the fold this year, after being absent from us during the time that we were struggling through our Junior year. But he is going to show us how to graduate in three years, for he says it would never do to not finish with old ' 17. Ham makes the Honor Roll about as easy as the most of us make tliat coveted 70. What ' s more, he has made good in everything that he has undertaken — and he is no one-sided man. A man of high moral ideals, ex- cellent intellectual ability, and a gen- uine good fellow, we expect great things from Ham as he goes out to Africa as a missionary. President and Valedictorian Eu.

S. ; Ki: Thy icit is OS quuk as the iircyhouiid ' s mouth. Rachael is a (juiet and unassuming fellow, but one that possesses the power to make you laugh — and the world loves the man who can make her laugh. There is no one who appreciates a good joke more than he or who can tell one anj- better. Although he doesn ' t shine as an athlete himself, there is not a man in college who takes more interest in the teams, or backs them more than Rachael. If you want to hear real scientific rooting, just go to a football game with him ; he is in a class by him- self. And when it comes to taking in tickets and the kale at the games he is surpassed by none. He has a good bus- iness head and sound judgment in finan- cial matters, and when he gets out in the business world we predict much success for Manager Harris.

A ready- smile, an attractive personality, and an ability for leadership both in the class room and on the campus, are factors that unite to make him a man of true worth and merit, and an honor to the class of which he is a member.

' ' Hobson will never be satisfied until be attains bis ambition — to see his name written Rev. J. K. Hobson, D. D., and certainly be will not be disappointed, judging from bis record bere as an effi- cient V. M. C. A. worker and an en- thusiastic member of the Ministerial Band. He is a sincere and persistent worker. Men of bis type make no bril- liant marks, ride no skyrockets to glory, toot no horns of self-praise, yet after all win in life ' s battle. H in future years we turn to the pages in life ' s suc- cess-book reserved for ' 17, we will be sure to find written large the name of J. K. Hobson. Junior Commencement Orator. RAWLS HOWARD Tarboro, N. C. B. S. ; UK War, he sang, is toil and trouble; Honor but an enifty bubble. The Goddess of Fortune certainly must have smiled on Rawls ' birth, for seldom has anyone gone through col- lege with as little trouble as he. While tlie rest of us are knee-deep in study, Rawls will likely be found drop-kicking, playing golf, or sleeping; yet, getting shot is an experience almost foreign to him, and when reports come out, the grades of this loyal son of Tarboro arouse the envy of students far more laborious than he. In addition, his per- suasive ability is something uncanny. .Altogether, Rawls is a thoroughly like- able fellow, and we e.xpect great things of him after he leaves ns for real life. CZH DAVID VENABLE HUDSON Kashing, China B. S. ; El-. Care ZL ' itl kill a cat — and so i ' ill Dave Hudson, if one gets in his zvay. Put one such felis domesticus on an operating table with a set of (Hssecting instruments ; on another table put an odoriferous concoction — with a test tube. Now put Dave on a stool be- tween these two, and he ' ll be as near Heaven as he ever will be on earth. Though solemn and serious. Dave has as large a bump of humor as any other man at Davidson. As founder of the M. T. C. (Midnight Transfer Club) his influence has been felt by many men on the campus. He has the (piiet stick-to- it-iveness that will win. and he will be a medical missionary of the lirst magni- tude. Dr. Kelly had better look out for his laurels when Dr. Hudson be- comes a full-fledged M. D. ROBERT EARL HUGHES Cedar Grove, N. C. . . B. In every gesture dignity. We are glad indeed that this son of dignity and brevity has chosen to grad- uate with ' 17 instead of casting his fate with his original class of 1916. He was never known to say much and what he does say is almost in a confidential whisper. No one here has ever heard him say twenty successive words, but we are convinced that many a lady within a radius of twenty-five miles could give a glowing account of his ability to speak as never man spake — to her. But when you want a man who will take a hard job and stick to it whetlier it be passing hard yickets or uijholding the honor of the class on the gridiron, lie ' s your man.

Rees is going to be a famous M. D. some day, for if working will get a man anywhere, this fellow will certainly suc- ceed. A diligent and thorough student, he is never seen idling away his time. He believes in turning his golden op- portunities into account for the future. To hear him talk is to know his na- tivity, for he possesses that twang char- acteristic of all pure Charlestonians. Good-natured, kind, thoughtful, stu- dious, a great stickler for duty, and then some — all this is Rees — a real man. The world is needing such as he, and is bound to be benefited by him.

Here is a fellow who has been a great factor in making ' 17 ' s enviable athletic record what it is. For four years he has been a mainstay on the class football, baseball, and basketball teams. And Bill is a star in other fields too. If there ' s anybody who knows any more about Chemistry than Bill, we are from Missouri. Here is where his heart lies, and if he goes at everything like he does Chemistry, he will be heard from some of these davs. Class Football (4); Class Baseball (4) ; Class Basketball (3) ; Captain Class Football: Manager Class Basket- ball; Assistant in Chemistry.

Which of his two well-known charac- teristics did Johnny evince first — his genious-like accuracy in sciences or his unerring precision in carrying the pig- skin ? ' So early in his career at Da- vidson did he reveal both these traits that even the members of his own class do not know which has precedence. For while he was hitting the line like a bat- tering-ram for consistent gains, the Prof, was marking a grade of 100 on his Math, paper. With his graduation, Davidson loses a good student and a splendid athlete, and the students as true a comrade and friend as they ever possessed. Of such men ' 17 is proud.

His easy refined manner and sunny disposition have made him popu- lar with everybody. His four years ' nienihership on the Gym Team shows his physical prowess, while repeated honorable mentions testify to his ex- cellent scholarship, the Student Council to his clear judgment, and the V.

In Lauch we find that characteristic so typical of the Scotch : he is a man of deeds rather than words. He is one of those men who make up the real liackhone of our class. And nobody loves fun any better than he does. If you have ever committed any slightly inconveutional act and knowledge of the same has come to his ear. •ou are a jibed man and will never hear tlie last of it from him. Lauch has for the past two years been one of the real stars of the class football series and to him is due a good measure of credit for the good showing of our team. A good student, a good athlete, and a good friend, we consider I.auch one of ' 17 ' s representative men. Student Council ; Class Baseball : Class Football (2) ; Scrub Baseball (i).

Oh no, it ' s nothing serious, it ' s just Reverend laughing, a jolly, contagious laugh that is a sure cure for the blues. And Rev- erend does other things as well as he laughs. Everybody knows that when he loosens up his collar, cocks his feet on the table, and pushes his hat to one side of his head, he means business and a 98 is sewed up. On the football field few plays succeed around his end, and on the cinder path he is a luminary. Instead of living up to his name, Rev. expects to become an M. D., and we prophesy a worthy addition to the pro- fession. Class Football: Scrub l-.iotball : Var- sity Track; Class Track; Punctuality Roll. JAMES PURDIE McNEILL Florence, S. C.

He formerly belonged to the Class of ' 16, but showed his wisdom by waiting a year and becoming a mem- ber of old ' 17, and thus both he and we have been benefited. Everybody who knows Jimmy, knows a cracking good fellow and those who don ' t know him have missed a whole lot, for you have got to know him before you can appre- ciate him.

Here is a quiet, hard-working fellow, who by devotion to duty and faithful- ness to purpose has made good among us. Jocko takes college seriously, and puts his whole soul into whatever lie undertakes. For tlie past two years he has been our mainstay at guard on the class football team, and during the games his vibrant bass voice has been a terror to his opponents, as well as a horror to his Freshman s ervants on the Alley. His sincerity, good nature, and sunny smile have won many friends for him, and he has the best wishes of us all as we part. Punctualitv Roll ; Class Baseball ; Class Football.

When Bill enters the hall and walks down the aisle, the ladies look, gasp, and then whisper. Those who are with them say that after that they are quite heartless, for Bill has stolen those precious possessions. But Bill is more than good looks and ladies ' hearts ; he has one of his own that is big and gen- erous, and that has won for him many a warm friend among his fellow stu- dents. He is a good student, a good athlete, and an all-round good fellow, and whatever profession he enters, he is sure to fill the bill.

' ' Monk is a man quick to make friends, and is today one of the most universally liked fellows on the campus. It has been said of him tliat he is the best-natured lazy man on the Hill, and this pretty well expresses our senti- ments. But be it understood that Monk can get as much life in any- thing as anyone else, when the occa- sion demands it. His favorite study is dancing, and he will ride a bucking broncho backward, if need be, to get to a dance he has heard something about, no matter where it may be. Of a friendly nature and winning manners, Monk has our best wishes as he goes out from us. Class Baseball ; Class Football. JAMES WILLIAM MILLER Sherrill ' s Ford, N. C. B.

Jimmy has been climbing persistently up the ladder that leads to a Dip until he can now return to Sherrill ' s Ford to en- chant the natives with his wonderful Latin sheep-skin — which he will never be able to read. When the time for football comes around, Jim shakes off liis inertia suf- ficiently to make -Ml Class centre and a D. C. A solid man, wc only wish, we had more like him.

In the regular Sunday morning cantatas on the . lley he is an essential figure. It hasn ' t been determined, however, what he sings, except that it lies between a Mayfield tenor and a Hobson bass.

Xot that he is sullen, rather he is courteous and friendly with all. He takes things seriously, he means business, and he does things well. Often the men who do the big things in this world are those quiet, steady workers like H. S. But we don ' t be- lieve that he would be such a steady worker and tackle life with such grim determination just for the glory of achievement. No, there ' s a great im- pelling motive somewhere.

He entered Davidson in our Soph year, and so quickly entered into the spirit of the class that it seems that he has al- ways been a part of us. Among his best friends he is noted for his jokes (?), but he also shines in the orchestra, with the ladies, and especially on the Ger- man and Biology classes.

' Life with Deacon is a serious thing — at times, almost too serious. Thought- ful of others and tender-hearted (though not chicken-hearted) it is ru- mored that one day he apologized to the dummy on the football field after a vigorous tackle. Religion with Dea- con is not like a Sunday suit, but it is a part of himself, directing his every- day affairs as much as his attendance on six Simday meetings. To him a man ' s a man for a ' that, and, unaffected by flattery or ridicule, he looks upon all men as his brothers. With this altru- ism and his earnest labor, Deacon will serve his fellowmen sincerely in the ministry.

Probably no one in college has read more widely than he. This is his hobby, yet he has been unable to follow it for the last three years on ac- count of weak eyes, and has had to de- pend on someone to read his lessons to him. He always has a kind word for everybody, and all who have become ac- quainted with him count him a true friend. It ' s a safe wager that he has more nicknames and titles than any man on the hill. Dunlap is going to be an insurance man, and, with his won- derful supply of information and his winning manners, he bids fair to make a successful one.

But that is the spirit with which he has undertaken everything.

Since he has been here he has done good work on the baseball field, and as a football player he has verily made himself fa- mous and long to be remembered. For four years he made his letter, and led the team as Captain one year. We be- lieve that there has never been a better defensive back at Davidson and few as good a.s he on the offense. And Cosmo is more than an athlete, for he hits other things just as hard as he docs the football line. With the fair sex he is a star.

Guy says that talk is useless, burden- some, and tiresome, and was made by the gods only for women, busybodies and Freshmen. He does not go around the campus advertising his wares, but when you look him up and investigate, you will find him all wool and a yard wide. When it comes down to things really worth while, you cannot find a more diligent student on the Hill. He makes his nineties with ease, and when it comes to Senior Speaking we believe that we will not be contradicted when we say that he said the most in the least time of any of us. Some of these days, when he tempers down his social pro- clivities, the world will look with amaze- ment upon the materialized dreams of this resourceful vouth.

Well, he has one of his own and, need- less to say he never fails to make it. And life is bound to be a success for him, because he is one who is able to translate his contageous confidence into veritable deeds, a fact amply proven by his superb gridiron work.

In 1913 the Class of Nineteen Seventeen entered Davidson College. Full of hope and high ambitions, we came, we saw — but — we GOT licked. A few nights after our arrival some of us were given an opportunity to show our athletic ability by setting a speed limit for the town — considerate members of the Soph Class being the judges. Others of us turned explorers, and sought out the mysterious recesses of strange and wonderufl build- ings. Since it was the oi)en season for bird hunting, several of us took part in the joys of snipe hunting. Of course it was understood that each hero should keep the sjjoils fur himself and not boast of his catch. . V feature of our class was its cosmopolitanism, such distant sections of country as Greenwood, Miss., Lithonia, Ga., China, and Persia being well repre- sented. Naturally, it was a good class. In spite of the grunts, groans, and other remarks which the censors will not pass, made by the other classes, we walked off with the basketball, football, and baseball championships, and the only reason we did not win the track cup too was that no Seventeen man could be found who would run from anybody. By the time Commencement rolled around. Seven- teen was recognized as the best class, athletically, that has been at Davidson for years. Shortly before the opening of our Soph year, little Willie Hohenzollern started a family row in Europe, and since the aforesaid scrap had knocked the bottom out of the cotton market, we decided to go easy with poor Dad, and hold the Soph Banquet cm the Hill instead of in Charlotte. Under the financial direc- tion of Eddie Hampton, and the oratorical leadership of Butch McKay, the occa- sion was pulled off in great style in the Old Commencement Hall. Among the many features were the speeches of Reese Jenkins, (of Chawleston) ; the Duke de Ostreelum and his little brother; and the ebony physiognomies of Oskeegum and .Maude. The night was passed in much merriment and bull-slinging, in spite of the interru])tions of certain Freshmen under the lead of Preacher Morrison, who cut off ' the luminous juice. We sliould worry. I)a e Hudson had some candles in his pocket. As has alreadv been said, the long suit of our class was athletics, but when Junior Speaking came around, we didn ' t let a little thing like that balk us. We bravely discussed everything from Home Rule to Woman Suffrage, and it is sincerely hoped that these speeches will be i)reserved and utilized at a later ICZH tzu [leriod for making a Utoi)ia of the world. All the efforts were masterful, especially those of Ostreelum White, Johnny Laird, and R. Harris. In this year our athletics struck a snag; for after defeating the lordly Seniors and cleaning up with the bloody Sophs, the Fresh, after being outplayed in two tie games, managed to luck out a touchdown, and the football cup went glimmering. When the year of our seniority arrived we were able, because of our three- years ' training to assume our dignilied role rather easily, especially since we were addressed as Mister by certain newly-arrived Fresh, and answered with a Yes, sir. But after all, this was rather foreign to the most important thing in our course; that scrap of sheepskin locally known as a Dip. At this point we realized the many pitfalls and troubles of anybody seeking one of those things, and truly we began to work like sin. As long as the DuPont Powder Company remains in existence, and we are able to qualify as sharpshooters, we hope thai we may be able to hit the target so effectively that we may some day earn the title of alumni. The only other event of importance during our Senior year was the speaking, which was featured by the hundred yard dash of Guy Walker and Sammie Keesler ' s responsive reading with himself. Now, Gentle Reader, in turning the pages of this famous volume, you will doubtless gaze with admira- tion upon the classic features of those composing our class — especially Bill Matti- son and Monk Mayfield, to say nothing of Dog-eye Howard. And a few years from now, when you take down the latest volume of Who ' s Who in America, you may again renew acquaintance with the Class of Seventeen. The manager is imploring us to cut out this line of junk, so that he can complete his volume and get some money for dopes and dope sticks. Selali. CZl Senior €lafisi oem At last ' tis past ; it passed so fast We stand aghast, and mutely cast Our eyes back o ' er the fading past. For day by day, the gay or gray.

And it is fit we sit a bit. While memories flit and dwell, to wit, On College and the friends of it. And e ' en though scene on scene be seen.

ZltZZl Itm 3funior J|isitorp D {SPITE the fact that the greatest war in history had just begun — (kspite the fact that the European countries were beginning a struggle to the death — despite the fact that our country was on the erge of a financial and industrial panic, there was assembled at Davidson Colles e on September 7, 1914, a Freshman Class, on? hundred and twenty strong. From the Hills of Old Kentucky, the mountains of Tennessee, historic South Carolina, Ceorgia, Mississippi, from Florida ' s tropic clime, and from all sections of the Old Xorth State, came the Class of Nineteen Eighteen. We shall ne er forget our first impressions of Davidson College. L ' ndei ihe guidance of some of the kind upper classmen, we beheld for the first time the witie-spreading campus transformed by the gentle hand of summer, into an Eden of (jreeii. We trod the historic walks; we slaked our thirst at the Old College ell ' — now, alas, a victim to the germ theory. We admired the Literary Society Halls, with the 1837 staring from e ery brickbat, and we thought of the masterful oratory, the logical arguments, and the superb declamations that had taken place within those quanit structures. We climbed the innumerable stei)s of Chamliers, and from the cupola obtained a view of the campus, the town, and the surrounding country. In this manner we passed the first day of our college career, blissfully ignorant of what lay in store for us. A ' e were just preparing to retire when we heard strange cries, yells, songs, and an unearthly din just outside our windows. The Sophs were on the war-path! I ' ut why dwell on the horrors of that first night? Suffice it to say that from this time there sprang up a common tie that bound together the indi- viduals of our class. Thus, we were introduced to Davidson College; thus the Class of Nineteen Eighteen was initiated. With much zest we entered into the activities of college life. ( )n the Varsity football team we were represented by Black, Bob Walker, Gre . and Austin; our basketball team, under the captaincy of Dutch Hengeveld, won the cham- pionship. Later in the year, we elected Childs president, being allowed to meet more or less peacefully in chapel, and not being compelled to take to the woods, for that rite. We gibed, and got paddled ; it snowed, and we got half killed. But Commencement came at last, and with it the end of the days of our verdency. c returned to Da idson the following September, the wisest fools in L ' hristeiidoiTi. Led by Jamie F(j le, we made the cam[ius hideous with ( )h. tZl3 ZZ3I yiiu I ' resli, you ' d licltcr iiu low. with ilie umi;i1 accompaniments of that classical nallad. c were just like all Sophs lia e to he — greatly loxcd hy thcmscKcs, and as greatly detested hy everybody else. What more need he said? This year we elected Lawson President. Again we were well represented on the gridiron. ( )ur class teams won both the basketball and baseball cham- [Monships. (.)n the diamond, we were represented hv Rlack, I.awson. Wood, Saunders, and Henge eld : in scholarship we also eNcelled, lia ing a goodly number of honor roll men. and also ha ing one man to attain :he highest average in college. The historian would be delighted to tell a few more particulars of the lile (luring our Junior ' ear. but Junior Speaking scared him so that he is onl able to remember that the President of our Juniorhood is Puddlia W dods. How e e-. that sp aking was a glorious success. W ' e [)ro eil our abililv as orators, we sealed (at least to our own satisfac;ion ) great national questions; we reformed the world ruthlessly. In fact, we inff)rmed the public gratuitously on subjects ranging from The Tyrant in White to The v pirit of the Universe and The Evils of . lcohol. Xow, we are fast approaching the last s ' .age of our college career. Soon, as Semors, we shall shoulder additional responsibilities; let us prove ourselves wortln ' of e erv trust. lines; Wivitttn fter vmiov pcafeing I know a maid, a fairy cliild, Whose deep and dark blue eyes are mild, And yet her glances drive me wild ; She stole my heart away !

In bucolic bliss did he pass the days of his existence until there passed his way a certain book; then his hea t changed, anfl he rose up earlw and cast into his trunk his belongings, and took a fond farewell of his girl and all the sjiare cash of his father, and came unto Daxidson. Try hard as he mav, the youth cannot tell how h: acted when he came nigh unto the place; for the memory of such things is gone from him. (kit altliough his feelin,i:;s were the feelings of a ioo . he girded up his loins and looked him about, and saw about him many such as he. , ' nd this company gathered themselves together, and took unto themselves a name; and th; name of that company was Fresh. The manner of this company was as the manner of the green fields. Each morning the - gallieied ihenisehes together at the chapel which is called v liearcr. and then scattered themselves among the arious classrooms and gazed at the massive columns of their habitation, which is called Chambers. For the first month, the precious mites of dad ' s money were spent for postage stamps. They wrote to e erybody and anybody; not because they had any reason for so doing, but because they were lonesome, I ' .ut it is a long railroad that has no bend; and as the days rolled by their loneliness rolled away. Days pass:d, weeks passed, months passed — exams, came, and they passed — away from the historic campus to Home Sweet Home, and Mary Jane. Now it came to pass that after the company had returned from the land of their joy, they did assemble lhemsel es together, and said, Behold, we will write us a histor . And they appointed a certain one, and said, Co to, write us a historv. I ' ut he feared greatly, for he remembered the Chinese emperor who buried all historians ali e. W hereupon he sat himself down and communed with himself, and his communin,i.,s were sore travail. And he said in his heart, 1 know full well that all the I ' reshmen will want their names mentioned in this historv. with all their mighty deeds. But 1 ha e not room, so 1 will mention none, not e en Pope. CIZJ But man is ne cr more niiirtal tlian during his first year in college. Hence it would he well to draw a curtain o er the past, and speak softly oi bygone days. Therefore, P ' air One whose eyes have thus far perused these straggling lines, if you find no definite records of this year ' s doing, remember that that is un- necessary. The gentleman who has been so kind as to show vou this . nnual will make a better historian — at least for you. P)Ut none can deny that in all things here said, the historian has told the truth, the whole truth, and a lot liesides the truth ! ATHLETICS iHtljletic sis ociatiou OFFICERS J. P.

During the season of nineteen sixteen, David- son was more fortunate than she has been for several years past, in that she had a large number of second string men who were not only able to form a [)owerful scrub team for the Varsity to work against, but who gave the old men a hot tussle for their places. Indeed, no one was ever able to tell before a game exact!} ' who Rill would send in, and the competition undoubtedly was a great lactor in the success f)f the season. Daxidson has good cause to be, and is, proutl of her substitutes. They could not. tliis year, win the co eted letter; but lliex ' liaxe done the best tlie_ could, and we are confident that during the next season, many f)f them wijl wear w ith [iride the block D. ittizia D 4 - V. M. FETTER Coach Much of the credit for the success of the 1916 season is due to the alile coacliiujr. undyiuK pep. and true sportsmanship of Bill Fetzer. Out of light, inexperienced material, he has deveio]ied a team of vliicli any college might lie ])roud. C. L.

With his perfect passing, and his wonderful defensive work, he is one of the best centers Davidson has ever had. CAPTAlX-l-l.l ' CT R. 11. WAl.Kl-.K. D Em) Under the leadership of so able a player as Bob, we may well expect great things of •,l.e I ' Jl? team. His unanimous selection as all-state end shows better than mere words his great football ability. We wish him the best of success. J. p. I.AIRD, D Fullback Although handicapped by his hght weight, Johnny again distinguislied himself ))y his nerve and pluck. For four seasons he has given of his best to Davidson athletics, and his departure will be a source of sincere regret. S. R. KEESLER, D Qlarterb.ack The lightest, nerviest, headiest player on our team. Sam is at the same time one of the best quarterbacks ever seen at Davidson. The pivot of the liacklield. a cool and al)lc general, his place is one which will be hard to till. .1. M. BLACK, D Halfback As an offensive player Jack was easily the star of every game in which he iilayed. His line plunging was terrific, and his end runs always spectacular. We shall always won- der why he was not placed on the All South .Atlantic team. W. V. SAVAD. D Guard One of the features of the gaine was the playing of Billy ' Sayad at guard — thus the newspapers have alwajs |)hrased it. Gritty and game, he could always be depended on, and many a w ' orthy opponent lias been told to watch that little Persian in the line ! 11. M. GRE , D Guard A CDiisistciit player in every respect, we take off our llat tu W ' uuly. With liis weight and tremendous strenglli, he could always be dependeil on to tear open a hole in his opponent ' s line, and no one ever cared to take any liberties with his ISO iiounds of muscle. T. L. WHITF., D T. CKI,E I ' layin.y his second season of Varsity football, Theron a ain proved himself a worthy wearer of the IJ. Althougli handicapped by injuries during a large part of the season, he always showed himself a tackle to be feared. W. D. LAWSON, D Qu. rterback The forward passing of Legs was in a class by itself. Oftentimes when straight football failed, he was called upon, and never failed to deliver the goods. His long pass of forty-hvc yards was responsible for our touclidown against Carolina. J. C. PAISLKN ' , D Guard For three years Jack endured the hard knocks of a scrub, but this year, by his ability, gameness. and pep, he won the coveted D. No man on the squad ever worked harder or more consistently than did Jack, and liis loss will be felt next year. tzzsi J. A. SHAW, D Tackle We must frankly admit it — Turk surprised us. Liglit and unknown tii tame, he lias developed into one of tlie liest and trickiest tackles in the state. He was always full of fight from start to finish, and the longer he played the harder he fought. A. C. BURNS, D FULI.B.VCK From Buck ' s first ap|)earance on Sprunt Field, we have been looking for great things from him, and this season he has more than fulfilled our expectations. He hits the line like a bullet, and few arc the times when he fails to inake the necessary distance. G. M. KING, D End Although kept out of the game during the first part of the season on account of injuries, George came back strong in the last two games. He is a sure tackier, and one of the best men at handling forward passes that we have seen in a long titne. A. B. REESE, D Man. ger To Al should be given the credit for the successful management of the 1916 season. Liked and respected by all the players, he has brought about the most successful season, financially, in all Davidson ' s athletic history. I cms inn )t Reason ■■ HE 191(i football season pro etl the most successful that l)a idson has II had in many years. The team made a wonderful showing. The opposint; ■ teams have almost without exception l.ecn picked from student bodies much larger than Davidson ' s, and ha e represented the best colleges of the South. By comparative scores the Daxidson team ranks among the hrsl in the South, and no one will gainsay that this honor has been a deserved one. The Red and Black team won five, lost three, and tied one. The games lost were without exception very close, and the games won were without exception clean cut and well-deserved victories. While no credit for this splendid showing should be taken from the indi- vidual members of the squad, Coach Fetzer ' s name stands in the limelight, and he should be given all praise for his work with the Red and Black squad. He is indeed a coach to be proud of. and Daxidson is indeed fortunate in haxing such a man to guide her athletic teams. The first game of the season was played with Virginia. After this game, which resulted in a 14-0 score in favor of the Virginians, The Richmond Times- Dispatch said : The Presbyterians presented a steady team and during the entire second half outplayed Coach Evans ' squad both on offense and defense. On the following Saturday Davidson defeated A. and M. by the score of U)-0 in one of the fiercest games ever played on W ' earn Field, completely mystify- ing the Farmers and tearing their athletic reputation to shreds. Then came the trip to (leorgia Tech. After playing rings around the ' ellow Jackets for the first half, and carrying the ball over once only to have the touchdown disallowed on a foul, the Red and Black machine felt the effect of superior weight, and the score ended 9-0 in fa or of Tech. The team played a little below form in the Citadel game, the aerial game of the South Carolinians proving a puzzle. lUit Daxidson more than made up for this off day by completely outclassing Roanoke on the next Saturday, piling up 20 points on the Salemites. I ' urman i)ro ed an easy victim, the score being 46-14. Of the much lamented Carolina game. The Charlotte News has this to sax ' ; The score — 10-0 — does not begin to tell the tale. It does not begin to show the superioritv the Red and Black team showed oxer the Blue and White ele en itZZS 112 sa c in that imiiortaiU ami inlaiiijiljk ' fk-mcnt known as luck. To a neutral observer there was not a hit of douht hut that Davidson outplayed the Carolina eleven throughout. After defeating W ' olTord 32-0 in a game featureless except for the depth of mud on the field, the team played the final game of the season with Clemson in Charlotte. Of this game. The Charlotte News says: When e erything was over and an adding machine or iwo was brought into play, it was found that the Presbyterians had tied the ' I ' iger tail into some thirty-three knots — and the David- son goal line was uncrossed. It was in many respects a great game, but the war- riors from the Palmetto state were outclassed from beginning to end. Thus closed the 191(i season — one of the most successful in Davidson ' s athletic history. To the n- ' anager, to the players, to the coach, nothing but praise is due. tiu C=3 CZZIl CSSIeIISEIc M] I m enior Jf ootball Ceam W. ' ' . Sayau Maiuicjc W. Y. S D, S R Keeslcr - .

It is doubtful if there has ever been a series so close ; for the games won were both by one touchdown, and, with the exception of the Fresh-Soph game, the tie games were distinguished by an evenness of strength on each side that seemed impossible. Every man fought to the best ability for his class, and no one who played on these teams has cause for anything but a feelin.g of pride. UClagg Jf ootball i:eam Mii.i.ER.

The old men hrst to re[)()rt were: Captain Alford, Saunders, Lawson, Wood, Black, Hengeveld, Brown, Kees- ler, and W alker. Probably no season was ever started under more favorable circumstances, with Coaches Fetzer and Kluttz, two of the foremost scholars of the game in the South, to direct the team, and with such a goodly number of old men as a nucleus. Manager R. G. Finley arranged a schedule which included the representa- tive colleges of North and South Carolina. Catawba was the first team met and was easily defeated. Klon, ( )ak Ridge, W ake Forest, Richmond, and Wofford were next defeated in succession, the winning streak being finally broken by A. and M. in Gaslonia. This game was admittedly a very poor exhibition by both teams. It was hoped that another game could be scheduled with , . and M., as Davidson and A. and M. were clearly entitled to first call for the state champ- ionship. .Several dates were offered the P armers, but as they had defeated all North Carolina colleges, they were not desirous of flirting with the championship in such a dangerous fashion. Trinity was next met in Hickory, where the Presbyterians went down in defeat 3 to 2. owing to the absence of Captain Alford from the receiving end. The next day, lio e cr, Davidson met the Methodists at home and reaped a sweet revenge, by defeating the Bull Durhamites 18 to 10. The third and last college defeat was administered by Maryville College in a 3 to 2 game in which errors were the direct cause of defeat. After losing close games to the Charlotte and Winston-Salem clubs of llie Carolina ],ea,L,ue, the Red and Black started on a victorious sweep of South and North Carolina. Se en games were played on this trip, all of which resulted in victories for the iH ' tzerites. Wofford. at Spartanburg, was the first to go down, by the score of 9 to 3. Next was Furman, who received a double dose of defeat at the hands of the I ' rcsb terians. These two games were cJKiracterized tZ3 hard liitting and airtight pitcliiiii on tlic part of Lawson and Henge t-ld. From Grt ' en ille they turned their forces nortliward. aiul tlieir victorious marcli through North Carolina was started. Guilford was met and defeated in Greens- boro. Elon next met defeat, for the second time, and then Trinity got hers in the deciding game of the Presbyterian-Methodist series. The last game of the trip was with Wake Forest, who were slaughtered by the Presbyterians, (t to 3. The last game of the season was with Washington and Lee Uni ersity on the Hill. This game was largely attended, and it was a pretty sight to see the Pres- byterians play rings around the Generals. The game was tucked safely away early, the score being 13 to 2. Xo small part of the credit for this splendid season must go to Coaches Fetzer and Kluttz, who worked harder than any men on Sprunt Field for the team. They took raw material and did the most difficult thing a coach has to do — rounded it into a winning and smoothly running machine. It would be almost impossible to mention individual stars without naming the entire team. However, if a choice were attempted, it seems that the laurels should go first to Captain Alford, who by his consistent hitting and steadv work behind the bat was a large factor in the team ' s success. The pitching honors go to Lawson and Hengexeld, both of whom twirled great steady ball. Black, Wood, Johnson, and Saunders composed a strong and well-balanced infield. The outfield, composed of Brown, McMillan, and lounger, measured up well with the best. The three leading hitters were Captain .-Mford, whose average was .349; McMillan. .31S; and Saunders, .313. The batting average of the tcruii as a whole was .271. nni The gamt-s played last season, with their scores, are as iol Mar. 27 P Mar. 30 Davidson 8 Mar. 31 Davidson j Apr. 1 Davidson 7 Apr. 6 4 Apr. 10 Davidson 1 1 Apr. 13 Davidson J Apr. 14 Davidson 18 Apr. 15 ) Apr. 17 Davidson 4 Apr. 19 Davidson 8 Apr. 20 Davidson 9 Apr. 21 Davidson 4 Apr. 22 Davidson 14 Apr. 24 Davidson 6 Apr. 26 Davidson 4 Apr. 27 Davidson 6 Apr. 28 Davidson 6 May 11 Davidson 13 Catawba 3 7 1 4 3 Oak Ridge Elon Wake Forest Richmond Wofford Trinity TrinitN ' Maryville Winston Charlotte Wofford I ' urman Furman Guilford Elon Trinity Wake Forest Washington and Lee 1=3 CZ3 Baljibsfon College pasietiall cfjebule 1917 March 27 Catawba at Davidson March 28 Oak Ridge at Davidson March 29 Oak Ridge at Davidson March 31 Charlotte Leaguers at Davidson Ar ' RiL 2 Elon at Elon Ai RiL 3 Trinity at Durham April 4 Carolina at Chapel Hill April 7 Charlotte Leaguers at Charlotte Aprti. 9 Elon at Greensboro April 11 Wake Forest at Davidson April 12 Trinity at Statesville April 13 Trinity at Davidson April 14 • A. and M. at Gastonia April ( Lenoir at Hickory April 23 Guilford at Greenslioro April 24 _. _ V.

' IHOUGH the season was bej uii later than lias been the [iractice at S J Oavidson, the basketball record of the Red and Black during the 1916- 1917 season has been an excellent one. Due to difficulties in arranging a schedule, practice did not begin until after the Christmas holidays; but when it did start, the team more than made up in snap and ginger what they had lost in time. The first game was played on the Hill, January 13, with the Charlotte Y. M. C. A. and although practice had been going on barely a week, the visitors were completely swamped, the score being 60-22. On January 19 the team went to Charlotte, and defeated the Y. M. C. A. on their home floor, 50-33, in a game which was featured by the wonderful playing of Childs, who. at forward, scored 16 points in the first half. On the following night Davidson won a hard-fought game from Statesville, the score being 34-31. On January 26 Davidson made it three straights from Charlotte to th? tune of 49 to 34, features being the playing of Murray and King. Then .Stetson University was met on the home floor, and conquered by the score of 47 to 14. Although several regulars were out of both this and the last Charlotte game, the substitutes filled their places very creditabh ' . On January 29 the team started on a seven day tour of the state. The first defeat of the season was inflicted by W inston, the score being 5i to 2M. The features of this game were Childs ' steady playing, and a goal from one end of the floor to the other by Al Reese. The second game of the trip was played with (inilford Davidson winning 30-27, Bob Walker shot a goal in this game. The next night Elon was defeated 31-26, and the team went to Durham with high hopes. However, you can ' t win ' cm all, and the game went to Trinity, the score being 32-26. On the following night the Hornets reaped a sweet re enge on the University, who, after spurting dangerously in the last half, were met by another and bigger spurt and defeated, 36-31. The team then journeyed to A. and M. and in a game which was one of the snappiest of the whole season were defeated by the score of 32-2f). The last game of the trip was with Wake Forest, which had a record of unbroken victories on its home lloor since 1913. The game was hard fought an l brilliantly contested, Inil the Davidson offense proved too strong for the Haptists, and they finally succumbed. Tlie score was 2()-19. tzzsi Returning honii. ' , l)a idsoii defeated Elon in a inKirly played game, fea- tured by the ovation accorded Bob ' alker on the occasion of his shooting another goal. The next game, with Statesville, was lost to the Iredell countians by the close score of 30 to 28. The Red and Black then won its second game from Guilford, the issue being decided by Al Reese ' s shooting a foul goal just as time was called making the score 19-18. Then followed the fourth game with Charlotte, which Davidson won without much trouble, outclassing the Y. M. C. A. men and coming out at the l)ig end of a 36-14 score. The last game of the season was played with Statesville, and although Davidson fought like demons, the Statesville team, champions of the state, finally won by a close score. In reviewing a season such as this, it is always hard to pick out individual stars; especially is this true of this season, for it can be truthfully said that every man on the team rose to the position of star. However, if called on to name those whose work inspired the greatest terror in their opponents, first place must be given to Captain Dutch Hengeveld, and Al Reese. Dutch, at center, not only was generally entirely too big for the opposing middle man to handle, but he was also a dependable scorer. Reese, playing running guard, developed the habit of making sensational shots that no ordinary player would even try ; and when the other side had a foul called on them, they knew right then that Davidson ' s score would be raised one point without much further ado. The work at forward of King, Childs, Wood and Murray was excellent, and the guarding of Bob Walker was a nightmare to every man who e er [ilayed against him. Altogether, tlie work of the team as a whole was exceptionally good; and since most of the men ha e one or more years still to play, we may expect even greater things for basketball at Davidson in the future. tzn Senior pasifeetijall Wtam R.

As a rtsuit, the playing was aboN e the average, and the contest was much closer than has heretofore been the case. After a hard fight, in which the result was in doubt till the very end, the finals, played between Hall and Spence. and Saunders and Hawkins, were won by the latter. For the second year in succession, the singles championship was won by Saunders, the finals being played with Price. Xo intercollegiate matches were played during the fall, but Manager Kennedy hopes to arrange for several in the spring term, with some of David- son ' s old tennis rivals. The team is a strong one, both in singles and doubles, and we feel confident that they will make a showing which will be a credit both to thrmscl es and to the CoUesre. M ITH the exception of gymnasium work, which is soon to be placed on a more secure footing, track work is [)robably Davidson ' s least- de eloped branch of athletics. In the spring of 1916, however, more interest began to be taken in the work, and under the leadership of Captain Morrison and Coach Kluttz a team was evolved which made good beginning for Davidson in the field of intercollegiate track work. Several meets were held, the last, with Clemson, being the first on the Hill for several years, and probably the most exciting ever seen here. At no time were the contestants separated by more than five points, and when Davidson won, it was by the margin of one sport. The work of Brand, Crouch, Worth, and Younger was especially good. . lthough a large part of this team was lost by graduation or failure to return to college, an abundance of new material makes the prospects for this spring good, and under the leadership of Coach Fetzer we may expect to see this once neglected sport take its proper place among Davidson ' s athletic activities. f)c Classi jfootfaall i cro Ah, so unfortunate, Lacking in breath ; Rashly importunate, ■ • ' Hrtini; with dcatli.

The contest for places on the teams was spirited, and much rivalry was manifested in the preliminaries, which were held about the middle of Feb- ruar -. As the teams were finally picked, that which debated Emory was com- pf)sed of W. H. Neal and G. C. Bellingrath. with R. W. Cousar as alternate. Tliey upheld the negative of the question, Resolved, That employers and em- ployees of public ser ' ice corporations should be comiielled to settle their disputes l y arbitration. The team which debated Roanoke was composed of J. A. Thames and R. H. Ratchford, with L. H. Eikel as alternate. They took the negative side of the question, Resolved, That tlie United States should adopt a system of uni- versal com[)ulsory military service. Intercollegiate debating is assuming a greater and greater importance among Davidson ' s activities, the college having made a remarkable record in that department of work. There is more popular interest in the subject each year, and the prospects are very encouraging for a future that will outshine e en the good record of the jiast. t=3 CIZ1 [lZIZ3CaniEllAND_cRMM11IIZ3 ||aii=||cUcntt Council S.

COMPILED BY The Anthropological Society for the Propagation of Mendacity Season ' Tickets Good for this Attraction CHI Calenbar September 7 — College opens and we find in our midst many new and inter- esting creatures, most of them members of the genus homo sapiens (strong emphasis being placed on the Sapiens ).

October 9 — We are treated (?) to the first agony of Red Laird ' s Lyceum. Dear Willie (NOT Kees ler) is eulogized, and we are given a glowing recital of the Littlest Rebel.

Place overflows with I ' ep (not Palteison) when new hymn to Davidson is sung to tune of the Old Crray Mare. Soc Chambliss eats an inferior breakfast.

Welcome address is made from a corner rcjom of I um[)le, v.liich is the scene of much activity. October 31 — Virginia goes dry. We have numerous prohibition talks.

He spoke at length on such subjects as Equity Jurisprudence, The Fundamental Rights in Rem, The Doctrines of Stare Decisis and Obiter Dictum, and so on. For a copy of this speech see Cyc. Vol. 3. Numerous comments were made on this club by the state ' s leading secular and religious newspapers. November 2.7 — Woody Clark has to meet the Absence Committee. It was unintentional, however. November 30 — We all gird up our loins and descend on Charlotte. ' Tis truly a great occasion. Tom Misenheimer has trouble getting into the game, but finally succeeds. Big dance at the Manufacturer ' s Club, where Johnny Laird succeeds in doing the one step to waltz music, and Billy Hennessee forms a lasting friendship with Count Elmore. Big reception at Queens, where Joe Morton works out strong, (but not with Miss Askew). December 1 — Senior speaking starts. Fresh Morton (not Joe), has a monopoly on the girls. We are tortured with the same old oratory, and every evil known to mankind is discussed and remedied in the space of about ten min- utes per evil. December 4 — Ach, iminen. luri_ - immen, you iss gone! The postoffice business takes on a boom. December 5 — Stokes Lott pays the Hill a visit and goes on a class. No other practical jokes were attempted. December 9 — The time which to all must come is upon us. Examinations begin. John Pharr gets sick. December 10 — New trains jnit on. Great rejoicing among those who have a lust for traveling. December 18 — The snow, the snow, the beautiful snow. But what ' s the use. The good old days are fled, and a Freshman is just as safe in the snow as a fish in the Catawba. December 19 — Watts and Rumple have their annual battle. Rumple is repulsed with great slaughter. The outstanding features of the combat were Sterling Hunter ' s (not silver) race, and Billy Sayad ' s verbal encounter with Count Elmore. ttZZH December 20 — John Pharr has a sudden and miraculous cure from his sick- ness contracted from undue exposure to Senior Law exam, on December 9. We all — nearly all at least, leave for home. For a true and unparalleled account of the doings of those who were so fortunate as to hallow the campus by their presence durmg the holidays, see other portions of Ouips and Cranks. January 4 — Back we come, each with a new photo or two on his dresser and a bigger tale than anvbodv else. Fiub Shaw announces his intention of mak- ing the punctuality roll. [an ' Uaky 5 — Geology students greatly incensed that they are still wiihuul an instiuctor in that gentle science. JA.NUAKV 8 — Certain members of the h ' resh Class find their bat entire!)- too small for them. Ia.m ' aky 9 — Said members of said cla s hnd it more comfortable to stand than to sit. Ia.nl ' ary 15 — Bob Jones returns. He determines to write a book entitled the Trials and Tribulations of B. Jones. January 20 — The battle cry of Eddie Burns, yes he does, is heard over the campus. Pharr and Lott. our two poet laureates, each claim the honor of originating this slogan. January 21 — Eddie falls in the fire, and immediately the slogan changes to Eddie ' s burnt, yes he is. Ianuary 2i — Bill Lawson and Buck Brown find the initiation into the Yid- dish Club very trying, so they give up for a time both work and play, and apply themselves to a light study of the Psychology of Dreams. January 23 — Joe Morton pulls letter number two. Joe ' s classroom work the next day was rather flighty and romantic. January 2() — Pep Patterson released from the Infirmary. He brings with him a dray load of correspondence, mostly in feminine handwriting. The Assas sinated Press refuses to confirm the rumor that he wrote a 118 page letter to his girl (girl No. 23 A) and got a 125 page answer; therefore we shall not print this information. Ianuary 2H — Pike Aiken accidentally goes to church without hi food; the wav he snored was a sin! tzzi czn February 2 — The groundhog gets scared and returns to his hole. Some say it was his shadow he was afraid of, but the weight of authority inclines to the belief that he must have got a glimpse of Ostreelum White ' s Bathrobe. February 13 — Junior-Senior football game. Score 0-0 in favor of the Seniors. Turk Shaw, Jack Black, Bob Richardson, and numerous others heard to assert tearfully that it was just hard luck. Xat Armistead takes twilight sleep and misses Fair and Warmer. February 19 — Turk Shaw up before the Student Council for gibing. February 29 — Pep Patterson dt)es not write a letter to a girl. Tom Hen- derson retires from politics. March 2 — Junior speaking is upon us. Wright, Humphrey, Daffin, Keesler, and Patterson each have down a Queen of the Human race or two, to tread the erstwhile unhallowed domains of Davidson College, and be enlightened about the situation with Germany, by almost anybody, and America ' s trade after the war. by Bob Jones. March 3 — Carrie Nation Pharr and John 15. (jough Walker discuss the e ils of alcohol. March 5 — The various Queens of the Human Race depart. Turn back the Universe and give me yesterday most popular song on the campus. (At this stage, we must quit; for, gentle reader, be it known that the perpe- trator of this article has fallen for the charms of a fair one whom he met at Junior Speaking, and now writes to her alone. Hence, he cannot carry his calendar any farther. Hoping you are the same, etc., etc.). EXTRA March 9 — The following report was turned in from the ringside by special reporter, W. A. Hall: Gunboat Smith and Knock-em-out Spence clashed today in a twenty-round bout for the Police Gazette Belt for the Championship of Barne ' s Boarding House. It was easily the greatest match since Battling Bub Shaw knocked out Jess Smoak in 1915 at Reno. The veteran fight promoter. Kid Doty, refereed the bout, and to him much of the success which attended the meeting is due. The two fighters fought with a vim, and each took a great deal of punishment. For the first ten rounds neither could gain any advantage, but finally, after both men had placed some telling blows. Gunboat ' s weight and brute strength began to tell on his opponent, who was gasping for breath and sparring wildly. At the end of the twentieth round neither had been able to gain a knock- out, so the decision was awarded to Smith on points, as he clearly had the better of Spence most of the way through. As soon as (lUnboat ' s massive muscles are suppled out. his manager will be ready to match him with any and all comers.

Nineteen-sixteen was no exception to this rule. After the last Soph Bible question had lieen dcciplicrcd, the last Fresh English paper handed in, and the last Eco. exam, pledged, the.e were left on the Hill about a dozen students — bra e souls, who had felt it their duty to perpetuate the old custom, and keep the college in order during the holidays. It was indeed a choice comjiany which was left behind. There was Ivldie Childs, the basketball hero; Walter .Mexander Johnson, Iisi|., of k(id;ik and Shu-tixery fame; Hon. Ciuy Walker, the social lion; . ndrew lirown. the as- siduous wooer of Morpheus — after one a. m. Moreoxer, there were several rep- resentatives from the Class of 1920, among the most conspicuous being Red Sul- livan, Terrell (juy, and Fresh Harrell. Mention should also lie maile of Cream- of-Wheat I ' ird. This motle)- array was chaperoned liy Tom Mitchell and Hays I ' ennett, the latter of whom liroke under the strain and left for parts unknown just before the holiday season was over. After a few very decided jerks on December 24, caused by the postofhce ' s being open on that date, the festivities began. Although the cabarets on Broad- way had been closed by order of the ])olice force, the people of the illage, true to the promises contained in the Daxidson College Catalogue (see page 113 of that veracious publication), did all in their ])ower to gi e the students a true home life. The week was a glorious one. filled with theatre parties, solos by Sam Brady, and frenzied games of Up-jinks and Hearts. It was brought to a fitting climax on Saturday night, when the beauty and chixalry of I)a idson turned out to a basketliall game lietween the students and town boys, and, with isziia I CSSIEIZ SIIc Ml I the exception of Ted Cashion and one or two others, didn ' t get home till morn- ing. Incidentally, the college boys won. Score, 11-10. Rut the festivities reached their height on the first night of the year 1917., in a masquerade party at the Morrison Memorial Hall. The spacious ballroom had been tastefully decorated with pine, cedar, tissue paper, and a phonograph, and presented an entrancing spectacle. The daintily curved light globes were made more attractive by the use of green crepe paper, which was so effective that the chaperones were unanimously in favor of a little more light on the sub- ject. The punch was short in quantity, but long in quality (it is rumored that Harrell will shortly accept a position as punch maker with either Delmonico or Smiley) and was spiked — with ginger ale. Into this beautiful hall came a vast crowd, representing the elite of the state, from Hunters ille to P)re ard, and clad in costumes that defy description. The party itself went off as swimmingly as the life of a suiYragette ' s husband. Johnson was heard to complain bitterly that Harrell and Brown always had business on the sofa when they were needed most, and it is rumored that se eral times he slipped out to express his private senti- ments to the wintry air. Rut after all, it was a great affair, and one that will not be soon forgotten. The revelry continued late into the night, and by the time the guests began to homeward wend their weary way, Davidson was in dark- ness. All the lights on the White Way had been extinguished, and the difficulty of negotiating Main street, led, it is rumored, to unnecessary loitering on the way by two or three couples, to the great detriment of conventionality and public sentiment. Detecti e Rurns has been hired to work on the case, and it will doubtless be cleared up shortly. The whole season was brought to a beautiful close on Tuesday night, by the 400 of I?a idson. Regular Daxidson weather had now taken charge, and after a number of guessing games, not the least interesting of which was trying to find out zvho was game, the homeward swim began. In order to prevent the loitering which, we fear, characterized this night as well as the one before, we (tun IZZZS C lElIIMSIS M] CIZ3 would suggest that the White Way be kept lighted after 8.30, so that so many shines will not be ruined in crossing the busiest part of Main Street and Concord Avenue. ( )n Wednesday morning, most of the isitors left our city, and tlu- flock lit punctuality roll aspirants came early to avoid the rush. The deserted campus soon took on its wonted aspect again ; the brave students who had remained regretfully took stock of their crepe-de-chine handkerchiefs, and idly turned the pages of their math, hooks, thinking meanwhile of blue eyes, golden hair, ruby lips, and so on. After months ha e passed, each one of that noble band might till sav. with Mr. Mdnre, of Soph-English fame: Oft. in the stilly night, Ere slumlier ' s chain has bound me.

It practi- cally acts as a compulsory savings bank, compelling the saving of small sums which, in many cases, would otherwise be frittered away. Moreover the savings are protected by insurance, as the contract guarantees that, in the event of death before the endowment matures, the return can never be less than the full value of the Policy. The endowments are made to mature in ten, fifteen or twenty years, as desired.

Boys of Davidson College Welcomes You trying at all limes to present an entertainment that is worthy of your patronage Waas Son Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Davidson College On September 6th, 1917, the college will enter its 82nd year of continuous service, It is the largest college for men under the care of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. It was founded and is now sustained to prepare young men for Christian leadership in church and state. It has been eminently successful in this in the past and is better equipped now to do its peculiar work than ever before. fl Its enrollment the past year has been the largest in the history of the college and the work has in all departments been excellent. The college has now as many students as it can efficiently handle and does not propose to increase the student body largely until added resources make such increase proper. For this reason it will be well to arrange for admission as early as possible. We do not take so many that we can not do justice to all. rhe high school certificates must be passed on before any one can be accepted and it is suggested that this be seen to and room engaged as soon as possible, fourteen units properly distributed are required for unconditional entrance. Only two units of con- ditions are allowed. Thorough preparation is advised. CATALOGUE FURNISHED ON REQUEST TO The Registrar, Davidson College DAVIDSON, N. C.

The Valada Mineral Spring is located nine miles south of Charlotte, N. C, embedded in a natural mammoth rock, and for more than sixty years has been known as Nature ' s Cure for Uric Acid Excess, Liver Complaint and Ailments of the Kidneys. No expense has been spared in the construc- tion of the Spring House and Bottling Plant to make it complete against contamination. The abundant flow of the water, about five gallons per minute, makes fresh water available at all times. fl When in the city, you are cordially invited to call at 2 1 7 North Tryon Street, and from per- sonal impression, to join the ranks of Valada satisfied drinkers.
