On the charge of diligence, he has been required to serve several terms m Society, as Secretary, on many committees, as Vice- President, as President, also as Junior Re- spondent, and was elected as an inter- society debater.

On inspecting the campus, he was so pleased that he al once decided to enter College as an easy and profitable way to spend four years. During his Freshman year he practised long-distance running to such an extent that he made his Class track team; and this same running was of service to him as end on his Class football team in his Senior year.

Charles Flinn Arrowood, A. B., Phi.. . .Hemp, N. C. ■■Faith in tvomankimi heals mill, his blood, and Irusl in all things high comes easv to ;„„,.•• Any first opened his eyes in 1888, upon a beautiful country region in Cabar- rus County, N. C. and perhaps this, in part, explains his philosophical turn of m!nd, especially his love for the aesthetic. In September, 1 905, he was found on Davidson ' s campus, and for a whole year he turned his mind from philosophy to the Habeas Corpus law. But his endeavors have not been for self alone. He has been a faithful sup- porter of ' 09 during his whole four years, and in return, has not failed to be re- warded with honors. He has shown his ability as an athlete in making the Class track team, 07, and the Class football team in his Senior year. The Phi. Soci- ety, believing him worthy to fill some of her high places, made him first supervisor, 07: second critic. ' 08; Vice-President, ' 08. and finally Marshal in his Senior year. William McIlwain Baker, A. B., Phi.. . .Lowell N. C. The rU laughs rviih him hut never at h ' m Bill says that his first claim to great- ness is that he was born near Lowell, Gas- ton County, N. C. For twenty years he drew out there his bucolic existence, until, sad to relate, he heard the spieling of Pro- ject, and there awoke within him the am- bition to go and do likewise. That day saw the spoiling of a good farm hand. He at once packed up his choice collection of horse laughs, and wearing his over-worked smile, made his way to Davidson. The way he played center on his Class football team is a matter of history. He was on his Class track team. He was made Sec- ond Critic of Society, and, finally, Presi- dent of Society. After he graduates he will go to the foreign held as a missionary.

Zachary Taylor Brown, B. S Davidson, N. C. This and a great ileal more lilfe It I have had to put up with. Birds of a feather surely flock lo- gelfier, for he is ihe second Red who comes lo us from New Berne. He also hearkenelh lo ihe calls Z. T., Zcke. and from his devotion to Bible study, he has shown himself worthy of the name, Puss. Having become civilized, he no longer hails from the east, but claims lo be an inhabitant of the thriving city of Davidson. His chief place of rest is the lab., where he peaceably whiles away the day breaking beakers, rigging up force- pumps after his own ideas, and chew- ing the golden leaf in competition to his friend B-o-b. Here he is at the mercy of the jokes of all, which he puts up with, and in defense answers, A good one. So far he has had no explosions, but — His choice sports are football and baseball, having made each team one year. He loves his loaf-(ing). Otto Emmett Buchholz Eu., A. B„ II K A ox E Dalton, Ga.
