Cabinet; Class Football; Class Track; Class Basketball; ' Varsity Football Team; Gymnasium Team 3 years; ' Varsity Track Team. We have met the enemy antl they are ours. 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. Age, 20; height, 5 ft. 10 in.; weight, 155. Captain Class Football; Captain Scrub Foot- ball; Class Basketball; ' Vamty Track Team; President F.u.

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.

g MA Oy t Uj okY Everett L. Booe Davidson, N. C. B.S., II. K. 1 , Gryphon. Age. 20; height. 5 ft. 8 in.; weight. 165. Vice-President Fresh. Class; Executive Com- mittee Athletic Association; Track Team 4 years; Baseball Team 4 years; Football Team 3 years; Scrub Football Team; Captain ' Varsity Football Team; Wearers of the D Club; Class Basketball Team; German Club. 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. Wearers of the D Club; Manager Class Baseball; Scrub Baseball; ' Varsity Baseball; Clafa Vice-President; Senior year; Soph. 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.

Class Basketball; Class Football; Class Base- ball; Class Track; Scrub Basketball; ' Varsity Basketball; Captain Class Basketball; Second Superintendent Society; Second Critic Society; Declaimers Rep. ; Vice-President Society; Valedictorian Socieay; Chief Marshal. A mind at peace with all belov . A heart lu iose love is innocent. ' Harper distinguished himself in his Sophomore year by backing hastily away when a shrill fal- setto from a train window piped Hello Harper ; willing hands seized him and forced him to meas- ure up to the Davidson adage: Never say no to a lady. and Harper had to shake. Harper ' s greatest end is his complexion, and his room looks like a barber ' s advertisement — massage cream, cold cream, and powders galore being in evidence. He wiggles when you congratulate him, contorting his countenance in an unbelievable way. He is steady, true to his principles, and has a good word for all. Don ' t try to connect him with Harper ' s seven year old, if appearances are against him. -W. B. Brockington Kingstree, S- C. A.B., Eu. Age. 20; height. 5 ft. 10 in.; we.ght, 137. Secretary Eu. Society ; Editor Hand-book ; Ass:lant Manager Magazine; Declaimers Rep. ; Secretary Debating Council; Y. M. C. A, Cabi- net ; Manager Magazine ; Library Committee. With just enough of learning to mis-quote. Broc. the luxurious, tumbled through his first year to the tune, Sweetheart can never die. Bros has a brogue and a terrible time deciding whether to yield to bashfulness or a kindling fond- ness for calico. He pronounces job as we pronounce the name of the patient old prophet Job, he says dawler for ' dollar, and fug for fig ; he ambles along like a coon from the swamps of the Edisto, and enunciates like the African article. He is a Lynchesque orator, and a martyr to the cause of dead languages, a good manager of the Magazine, and a faithful, inde- scribable performer in the gymnasium, a singer of some pretention, a dresser, and a gentle gentleman.
