As to his social side he stands unmatched — genial, bright, tactful and good looking — in fact the best company for a well man. for a sick man, for a child or for an adult.

Irvine Craig Crawford Rowland, N. C. A.B. Age. 22; height. 5 ft. 10 in.; weight. 140. Punctuality Roll 2 years. A close parallelism of thought and accident Crawford knows the name of every baby. dog. and cat. within a radius of a mile, with number five Rumple as the center of the circle. Genius. Queer Jeenis, as hown by his social idiosyn- aracies and his electing Junior Greek as a Senior ticket. He has no nick-name but his admirers are legion — among the town youth and the freshmen. He will, no doubt, organize kindergartens for a living. I. C. has never missed a prayer meeting or Sunday school gathering since he signed up with Prof. Douglas. For an analysis of his trails, call in a wiser a™ -mljlage than the staff of Quips and James McCrea Crocheron Gadsden, Ala. B.S.. F.u. Age, 21 i height, 5 ft. 9 in.; weight, 130. Honor Roll 3 1-2 years; Punctuality Roll. Grace led m ) roving feet. To tread the heavenly road. Behold him, this living evidence of evolution. From the pygmy of 1908-09, he has grown into the giant of mathematical intellect of 1912, having absorbed all the malhmatics that was ever exposed to his attacks. After making the Honor Roll in his freshman year, he degenerated into a sophomore, then reformed and has been a pluper- fect stud ever since. Late in his college course he began the study of music with extras. I Ir is a confirmed B.S., but it is feared that he will prove false to the first letter of the degree.
