Jffdj J R.t-VJr Henry Elliot Matthews Winnsboro, S. C. B.S., Gryphon, K. 2. Age, 21; height. 6 fl. 1 in.; weight, 160. Manager Class Baseball; Assistant Manager Baseball; German Club. 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. Age, 21; height, 5 ft 7 in.; weight, 130.

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.

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.

D. McL. McDonald Carthage. N. C. A.B., Phi. Age. 23; height, 5 ft. 10 in.; weight. 160. Secretary Society; Treasurer Y. M. C. A.; Editor Magazine, 2 years; Council on debating. 2 years; Chairman Council on Debating; Presi- dent Society; President Y. M. C. A. Although I I am not the le The cohorts of the righteous at Davidson Col- lege have a capable leader in the prodigy of con- crete Godliness, who spends his time singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs in the Y M. C. A. The other half in over-seeing the Phi Society and in various other equally praise- worthy occupations. He realizes the shortness of life and the variety of mirth, and loses no time. His motto is laugh not, loaf not. If he is betrayed into a smile he repents in sack cloth and ashes and does penance for a week. He is a member of the Student Council, the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, and the Debating Council, and his good judgment and sound common sense have added much to the efficiency of these organizations. James Daniel McEachern Brindidge, Ala. B.S.. Eu. Age, 21; height. 5 ft. II in.; weight. 140. An affahle ami courteous gentleman. Jim is a natural born Southern gentleman. Only a few more years and a broad bnmed hat are needed to bring out the fact that he is a colonel by heredity. He is not due to graduate this year but the present Junior class, with which he entered, was too slow for him, so he gave them the slip this year and calls himself a 12 man. He quite a declaimer with a strong and command- ng presence on the floor. His voice is stentorian n tone, or in common terms, something like a bull frog in an empty cisten. Neat as a pin, courteous and dependable, we predict that he will be a matrimonial success, and believe that the lady of his choice will find him a good fellow every day.
