ALBERT LINCOLN BRAMLETT, Clyde, N. C. Leave to the multitude their Hot, Here will I house myself iu quiet. A B. Phi. Age, 23 years. Height. 6 ft. Weight. i;o lbs. First Supervisor Society; Treasurer Society; Winner of Essayist ' s Medal, ' in: Junior Com- mencement Orator; Assistant in Bible, ' 11; Punctuality Roll one year ; Honor Roll one year. Probably the most cursed man on the cam- pus, especially about seven-thirty on a frosty morning. But he has been evoking unmelo- dious clangor from the college bell for so long that he has hardened to all sense of shame. He does not spend all his time in this pleasant pursuit, however, for he is an orator of repute, a business man of no mean ability (did you ever try to bargain with him?), an enthusiast in matters historical, and, last but not least, a persevering ladiesman — just ask him and see him blush. EVERETT LITTLE BOOE, Davidson, N. C. A hail-fellow ell B. S. Gryphon. Age, 10, years. Height, 5 ft. 10 in. Weight, [60 lbs. Vice-Pres. Class ' o7- ' o8; Scrub Football team one year; Varsity Football team three years; Varsity Baseball team four years; Track team four years. Everett has been tacked on the end of many a college yell lie is a great athlete, and then some — which refers to the fact that he stars ii Senior Bible. Dangerously handsome, with that I ' .illikin smile of his, he is welcome anywhere in college. And. next to his honors on the athletic field, he is best known for his unusually great number of friends.

WILLIAM AVORY BENFIELD, Derita, N. C. 1 will show the cinders of my spirit through the ashes of my chance. A. 11. Phi. Age. 27 years. Height. 6 ft. 1 in. Weight, 160 lbs. Class Football team j years; Honor Roll Senior year; Westminster Club. A loyal worthy son of 1911. One of onr bar- nacled weather beaten comer posts on which this class expects to build her structure of undying fame in the future. He talks little, but always has the corners of his mouth turned up, which, means that every classmate speaks a good word for him. DORSEY THOMAS BRADSHAW Burlington, N. C. Not I know him is to think him peculiar. A. B. Phi. Age. 28 years. Height, 5 ft. 8 in. Weight, 130 lbs. A hammer and a hatchet and a box of tacks — is little, is seen little and says little. He flits about like an animated ham. Me knows much, and this knowledge sticks out ii all occa- sions, lie has an affinity for Cornelius which puts a needle and a magnet to shame ; with all Ik- possesses a gift had by few — no one can say anything ill of him.

JOSEPH HENDERSON CALDWELL, WlNNSBOROj S. C. 1 cannot diagnose me if 1 try. A. B. Eu. K.2. Gryphon. Age, 20 years. Height, 5 ft. io in. Weight, 150 lbs. Class Football two years ; Honor Roll two years; Has Been ' Club. Joe says he intends to spend his life giving Mrs. Pinkham ' s Pink Pills for Pale People, but to hear him, in his must characteristic moods, you would not need to stretch your imaginative tracts to see him as the big dog with the little bark in Caldwell Bros. ' circus. MAXEY HALL CARR, McHENRY, Miss. He hath a hankering for sesquipedalian words in writing and speaking. B. S. Eu. Age. 22 vears. Height, 6 ft. 1 in. Weight. 165 lbs. Vice-Pres. Society; Intersociety Debater; Asst. Mgr. Debating Council; Mgr. Debating Council; Pres. Society; Respondent for Com- mencement; Commencement Orator; Societj Valedictorian; Member Student Council; Quips and Cranks Staff; Chief Marshal. An orator from wayback, somewhat like Demosthenes — at least in one respect. Demos- thenes ' oratory was like the sea. because of its roar, while Brother Can ' s is like the sea be cause of its great extent and little content. He finds great difficulty in deciding whether to be a lawyer a la W. J. Bryan or a backu Is M. E. parson. Maxej suffers from the dis- ease of Egotism, which arrives with his car- load of Bombast. His only redeeming feature is that he rooms with Jug King, which is em nigh hi mi ir for one man.
