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.

Courtliness and the desire of fame, And love of truth and all that makes a man. The above lines explain Ed. as a man and they are not over-drawn. He has all the ingred- ients of a manly man; his tale of woe contains two main headings; the cuticle on his face and the conservative workings of his mental machinery, not exactly a bonehead, but books do bother Ed. His eulogy contains all the epigrams of the college catalogue, a fine physique, a fearless disposition , and a lover of ladies, an orator of some fame, it needs only the discovery of a perfect beauty Stacy C.

Crab is the pride of Rose Hill, N. C . He delighted the hearts of his parents when on his fifth birthday, March 28, 1888, he broke a three year silence and said one word, aviation. When Stacy was eighteen he cleared the mists by adding that aviation called for sky pilots, and that he intended entering Davidson for a primary course in pilotry. Crab is a combination of determination, solemnity and honesty, genius Salt of the Earth. His greatest difficulties in college have been getting singers for the Y. M. C. A. choir, and recovering his equil- ibrium after being jibed by Big Chink at Barnes ' . Respected by all, except moral lepers, he has meandered through to an A.B. degree. He likes the flossies too. but keeps it to himself. lotion to bring to Ed ' s feet a score of the fair ones during the year 1912.
