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.

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.

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.

Though he claims the same cognomen as his next-door neighbor, J. L. R- , he is as widely different from him as night from day. Popular among his classmates as an all-round good fellow, he astonished everyone by hts rapid budding-forth in his Senior year. A football hero and a gym. stud. he is not very brave when he meets the fairer sex, for he and his room mate take turns in claiming a single lady as my girl. I lis nick- name, Molly, speaks for itself but lei BO one think that it has been clipped from Molly- coddle. J. L. R. Boyd Brundidge, Ala. A.B., Eu., Gryphon.

How Worthy he is I will leave to appear here- after, rather than j ory him in his own hearing. Crumble, grumble, little bull, how I love your tail to pull, just to hear that language hum, putting freshmen on the bum. Sign that parchment . What ' s all that racket? Just Alphabet declaim- ing on moral atmosphere, chapel, the powers that he, freshmen, or something. Alphahct poses as a pessimist, hut is really as optimistic as the hig- hest power among those that be. Faithful, original, and liked for his very cussedness, he is a philanthropic, loving Greek. The sound of his own voice. Senoir privileges and the correct lime, ask him about the Greek wal. h. As true as 1912 can boast. J. L. has never been Calling, never been ki-vd. and never dodged an issue or a flying t.i kle. Watch the moral atmosphere of Brun- didge when Alphabet hits that town to stay.
