He ' s human. Why? Because he hath kept his sanity till cupid did him sieze. In his Fresh. year he war- deemed a murderer, in his Soph, year he roomed at Sloans; as a Junior he trained his salted vocal apparatus, and now a Senior he can almost say creek instead of crick. Charleston boasts of her great men but from all appearances she will have reason to proclaim more loudly and lustily when Tommy starts his walk in life. He is good, but he is jolly; he is rcligiou:, but thank Cod he keeps it in bis vest pocket until occasion demands it; be is witty, but no one has ever been the victim of an intended slander; be Everett L.

Had it been a dog that howled thus we would have hanged him. Bish. came a long ways to bore us for four years. He inherited the leadership of the orches- tra when quite young, and has handled his legacy much after the manner of a baby elephant in Barnum-Bailey. For the latest slang see him. for the latest tunes stand outside his door, and for solutions of the fourth dimension look in his math, tablet. He can entertain you as well as the best one and will give you the last thing he has even to his last cigarette. is smart, but knows more than books. He has been known to talk too much and too often, but is always willing to be told. Cecsar had his Brutus, Chas. the Second, his Cromwell, and by the gods, 1912 has her Theodore A. Beckett.

Q . jftA4TflU iAjU Eugene Alexander R. F. D., Charlotte, N- C. A.B., Phi. Age. 22; height. 6 ft; weight. 185. Wearers of D Club; Class Football; Scrub Football; ' Varsity Football 1 years; Manager Class Football Team. O, these are barren tas s, loo hard lo Igeep — Nol lo see the ladies, stud] , fast, not sleep. Big Alex says he was born in Charlotte, but we know him better; he came to us from the fields, redolent of new mown hay. Born at hay- ing time, Sept. 23, 1891, he is still in the process of curing. Alex has three abilities — ability to sleep through chapel and on all classes save Senior Philosophy, the knack of selling fobs to the Fesh, and the spirit that wins a football D. His biggest mistake in college was mixing that equine laugh of his in with Greek — as a result he had to go to lab. faithfully to make amends. He is one good egg just the same and will some day put an admiring congregation to sleep, out at Sharon, rehearsing Dr. Shearer ' s jokes. John Charles Barry Moore, S. C. B.S., II. K. 4 . Age. 19; height. 5 ft. II in.; weight. 152. Class Football 4 years; Class Basketball 4 years; Scrub Baseball; Glee Club; German Club. Could I love less I should he happier. First of all he sings Barry-tone. on this account he belongs to the Glee Club, and it would tickle him in stripes if he should learn lo Sing-Sing. However we should hate to see him balled up to sell (cell). If you should look all over South Carolina you couldn ' t find a better fellow or one in whose presence you would tire less or who would make you laugh more in a given length of time than Jack Falstaff. His efforts in class football and basketball have been indespensable to us, and Davidson will lose a good man in him.

Courtesy rvinneth many friends. An athlete without a parallel, and a gentle- man whose genial fellowship and uprightness in all phases of life, however trivial or great, makes his presence desired by all and gives us a subtle feeling of silent admiration on all occasions. The newspapers of the South have already spread his grid-iron fame, and his place on the All-South- Atlantic-Team proves his worth with the pig skin. If you ever want to get on the good side of him. buy him a pound of raisins and promise not to let anyone know he has them. We guarantee to all who come to know him a happiness in their new knowledge. Hal Reid Boswell Penfield, Ga. A.B., Eu., Gryphon, II. K. A. Age, 21; height, 5 ft. 9 in.; weight, 145.

Ban- quet Committee; Assistant Manager Football; Manager Football; Vice-President Georgia Club; President Georgia Club; Student Council; Sec- retary Y. M. C. A., and Cabinet Officer; Vice- President Eu. Society; Pan-Hellenic Council. A soft ansacr iurneth away wrath. Some call him Turkey, but to most of us he is Hal — a prince. He is dependable, has never failed us at the pinch. On the diamond, short is his element, and his deadly peg to first is a sure thing. As manager of the Red Electrics, he delivered the goods; his ready smile and quiet voice win him friends always. Hal does not waste words but get him started and you find him on the right side of the fence. A steady worker and favorite from fresh, to faculty. It is reported that he likes the society of a certain young lady, and wonders whether she ' ll stay young if he took her to the Cracker State. We can ' t stop you, Hal.
