Grandma is a mixture of a ramrod and a smile. He is cultivating the ramrod, but the smile was educated at birth. This facial dee- oration is persistently in evidence, whether the subject be serious or silly, frivolous or con- cerning the riddle of the universe. His pro- pensities lean to altruistic politics and religion.

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.

Our Star athlete His position as all-South- ern end is a witness of bis ability to put out a winning team on both gridiron and diamond Being from the town that claims Jack John- son, of pugilistic fame, we expect as much. He is a hard bitter, persistent player, fleet runner, and always gets there. But DeWitt is more besides, a notable heartsmasher, a sound sleeper through chapel, and is a senior partner in the firm of Kluttz Moore. He stands in the good graces of the ladies as well as of the Faculty and students AUGUSTUS LEAZAR, Mooresvhxe, N. C. Flippant fluency of tongue. B. S. Phi. Age 21 years. Height. 5 ft. 10 in.

A pure optimist by nature, he always sees the bright side of life, lie dresses well, is a ladiesman of no mean repute, has numerous poetic tendencies, and talks! Oc- casionally he stops for breath. When it comes lo describing Europe, John Stoddard ' s lectures are not in it.
