1 w k j.R,r j t±i Angus N. Littlejohn Jonesville, S. C. B.S. Age, 20; height, 5 ft. 10 in.; Class Football Team. Thou base football player. ■ight, 165. Aspiration mean; perspiration — never more true than in the case of the Senior football team. That fellow you saw out there laboring up and down the field heaving Anlean sighs that meant either death to all opponents or his own approach- ing end — that was Angus. He came to us in our Soph, year from Jonesville, the town of Josiah and Samantha Allen, and after we once got him we couldn ' t let him go, so here he is. Samuel B. Lyerly Woodleaf, N. C. A.B., Phi. Age, 23; height, 6 ft.; weight, 165. inter-Society Debate; Class Football. A round, fat, oily man of Cod, Our friend Lyerly hails from the good county of Rowan and the village of Woodleaf, which should recommend him wherever he goes. But he needs no such recommendation, for his face not only radiates redness, but it also radiate; honesty and good-will, and the supply never diminishes. He Is a college man, believes in work. and lives up to his belief. His ability as a speaker has awakened the ambition in his breast to be another Moody, and where his heart calls his feet move. He is a man whose word is as good as his bond; in other words he is a gentle- man.

Clifford Ernest Herrick Crystal River, Fla. A.B., Eu. Age, 21 ; height, 5 ft. 7 in.; weight, 160. Class Football; Scrub Football. With mirlh and laughter let old wn ' nfc es come. Fiendish, fictitious, frivolous, fandangerous, fiddler. Loud laughing, ludicrous lad, is this semi-aligalorous specimen from the Swanee River Swamps. If you are ever in Davidson and look- ing for accommodations you may find Iwo rooms and a balh in his fountain pen. Old Walls has squirmed and wriggled under the piercing shrieks and heavy tread of this good-hearted, hail fellow well met. George Howard Tarboro, N. C. A.B., Phi.. II. K. ' l .

He draweth unl the thread of Ids verbosity finei than the staple of lis argument George rejoices in the cognomen Dog-Eye, which, though not given in his babyhood sticketh closer than a brother, being varied only by the more gentile term. Puppy Optics. Wh le not rejoicing he plays the fiddle. Sometime he talks. In spite however, of musical proclivities and his maidenly handwriting he swats the tennis ball with such precision that he writes his name high among the officials of the Tennis Association. To predict less than success for him after graduation were to prophesy falsely; therefore let him fiddle and prosper.

Wis cheek was lifc « ro3e - If Red were not his own danger signal he might hurl someone. He has taught us that il really doesn ' t matter whether one is seen or not so he is heard. Matthews is a musician of some note and will sing anything from excrutiating tenor to the most soothing bass. If you want to be his friend for life put him on to a reliable restorer of hair. Football was once in his line but it soon ceased to interest him. With all his faults we love him still. Charlie £. McCants Winsboro, S. C. B.S., Eu., Gryphon. K. i.

Ban- quet Committee; Pan-Hellenic Council. The ipirit gripped him by the hair, and sun h i M.n ieu fell. Just as a buggv is without a horse, so is the Class of 1912 without Spentz. There ' s one flaw which we all have picked in him— he comes from Winnsboro. being himself five-eights of the population of said place. His chief occupation lies in his being pall-bearer, having had several coughing spells during his short career. Last fall, however, he directed his energies along new lines and graced a wedding in a borrowed investment. He ' s the pleasanlest we ever knew, he s as bright as his room-mate ' s hair, congenial and indispensable to his classmates. Spentz ' ' seems peculiarly possessed of characteristics all of which come under the column marked good. O, Charlie.
