Joseph Hollingsworth Carter Mt. Airy, N. C. B. S., Phi. For manners are noi idle, hut the fruit Of lo )al nature and of nohlc minJ. Joe began te brealhe the pure mountain ail In 1886, and it is said that at three days of age he was seen on the streets with his fellow townsmen, telling and listening to the mo5t humorous jokes. But. being born under a lucky slar, he was led to D. C. where he entered ' 09. when we were all alike Freshmen.

On he yelled, and as a Fresh- man, won the Declaimer ' s Medal. It is not known whether he deprived some peb- bles of their winsomeness, as the old Gre- cians, or whether he came natural by it.

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. Far may u e search hefore n e find A heart so manly and so kind. In September, 1905, having attained to that ripe scholarship and state of learning necessary to college entrance, Buck cast his lot for weal or wo; with the Class of 1909. In his Sophomore year Buck arose from the obscurity that shrouds the Freshman. He was elected Secretary of the Eumenean Society, to the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, and was a member of the Soph- omore Banquet Committee. Since then, he has been Vice-President of the Eu- menean Society and Junior Respondent: for two years a member of the Magazine Staff; member of intersociety debating team; member of Class baseball team, and President of Y. M. C. A. Buck has won for himself a place of esteem. Frank, upright, and always ready for a merry tale or gibe withal, he is good company for all and best company for his friends.

Eugene Spencer Clark, B. S. Phi Clarkton, N. C. Of manners gentle, of uu: Doc. was bom down horn?. where they still have log-rollin ' s and fish fries and pretty girls; perhaps these have influ- enced his temperament somewhat, but re- gardless of these, he is a fellow of few words. His dreaming capacity is equal to that of any one, his dreams will, no doubt, some day reach fruition. Through- out his course. Doc has. little by little, achieved much — he doesn ' t believe in do- ing all at one sitting. Vie made the Class baseball team one year. The greatest success that has come his way is the satisfaction that there is one who helps him to view life ' s possibilities with broader vision. College life has put into the boy the manhood that will meet and successfully combat barriers as he has fought those Math, problems. Samuel Henry Cook, A. B., Eu Davidson, N. C. love the man ihat is moderaleh val- ient; that stirs not fill he most needs ami then lo purpose. Cook began talcing prizes at the baby shows about twenty-one years ago. Bruns- wick, Ga., being the town honored as his birthplace. He early saw the advantage of the higher education, and went to the Presbyterian Institute of Blackshear. Ga. He worried the teachers at that institution until they became sufficiently tired of him. and graduated him in 1905. He came to Davidson, where he was numbered the ' 09 ' s seventeenth red-headed Fresh. You can ' t keep a good man down ; Cook has been a member of his Class track team leader of a class in the Gym., and Review er of the Eu. Society. His watchword is I ' ve never flunked. He will, therefore be very much in evidence when those de grees are handed out.
