Supervisor and Second Critic in Society; Declaimer ' s Medal; Class Football team; Senior Greek. There is no use looking for Carthage. N. C, on the map. for it isn ' t there now. Its center and circumference, the air of all its hopes and fears, the pride of the local Farmers ' Union, in a wend, its most prominent citizen, has for the last four years been wearing his long and lanky way thro ' the halls of Davidson. G. C. has been climbing persistently up the ladder that leads to a Dip, until now he can go hack to enchant the Carthagenians with his winning smile and his wonderful Latin sheep- skin — which he never will be able to read. Barring his membership to the Pestiferous Order of Agents, he is a man of whose frank, good natured persevering qualities the class is justly proud. SAMUEL FULT ' X ERWIN, Jr.. Darlington, S. C The noblest minds the most contentment have. B. S. S.A.E. A K v. 21 years. Height, 5 ft. 1134 in. Weight, [60 lbs. Scrub Football two years; Varsity Football two years ' Plie darling of Darlington, sandier even than bis native sand bills, warm hearted as the sun that blisters him during his Summer vacations, as full of Bounce as the pigskin he knows how to earn so will, Pink is one of the best known and tile best liked members of the class. Most of bis triumphs have been made in the class room f all-out-doors, with the gridiron for a blackboard and Spalding ' s Of- ficial Guide as a class-1 k. But this year he is seriousl) chasing the elusive Dip, and with such smvrs, tli.it lie 1- beginning to be lievi what be lias always said, that be could make the Honor i !l any da if lie just tried.

Class Football team; First Supervisor Society; Sec. ami Treas. German Club, ' og- ' io; German Chili President, ' io- ' ii; Honor Roll Senior year. Young in year-, lint in nothing else, Conie is one of the brightest members of our class, that i- to say. in his smile that is ever present and his gay attire. In spite of his -mall -tature be i- quite an athlete, having led his class to victory many time- on the baseball diamond. Among his many accomplishments, Conie count- first bis power over the fair sex, all of whom fall victims to In- winning smile Height. 5 ft. o ' , ROBERT SYDNEY CUNNINGHAM, Anderson, S. C.

He went in for athletics in bi- Freshman year, but since then has become enamored of science, and has gone in (over his head) for Chemistry and the Higher Criticism, lie is somewhat of a stranger to the campus, usually being found in the chemical laboratory. His very demeanor impresses all beholders with the vastness and loftiness of bi- knowledge, and he is always more than willing to impart large chunks of said knowledge to am philo- sophical inquirer.

KENNETH JOSEPH FOREMAN. Montreat, N. C. Where the stream runneth smoothest, the ■water is deepest. A. B. Phi. Age, [g years. Height, 5 ft. 11 in. Weight, 135 lbs. Secy. Society; Declaimer Rep.; Fiction Medal; Magazine Staff two years; Editor-in- Chief of Magazine: Animal Staff two years; First Critic Society; Class Poet; Honor Roll four years. A paradoxical character. A charter member of tlie Davidson misogynist club, but the author of the most heartrending poetry. He is considered one of the deep men of the class, whereas everybody knows he is the light man of the college. His only smiles are pro- voked by Dr. Grey ' s French jokes. EDMOND JACOB HERTWIG, Macox. Ga. 1 am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my sunt. A. B. Eu. Age, 26 years. Height, 6 ft. Weight, 140 lbs. Honor Roll two years ; Assistant in History. Here ' s the prodigy you have heard about. This specimen seems determined to simulate or be some kind of inhuman being. Last year he cultivated such a face wig that lie ap- proached the monkey in appearance, and this year his distinction was one week ' s life as an animal hydro-aerophytus. One of the mark makers of the class — a brilliant student and .1 bard worker.
