J. Leslii. r.11,1. Concord, X. C. B.S., Phi. Age. 22 Scrub Baseball : Class Baseball ; Cass Footliall : Scrul) Football. biiill my soul a loidiy (ilcasurc-hnusc. Wherein at ease for aye to durll This qiiict-looking individual bears out the reputation that looks are but skin deep. Ding is one of Davidson ' s star pitchers, and has figured in many close games. In his Soph, year he was a terror to the Fresh., but since has been a very law-abiding citizen. Good n;i lured, and always ready for a joke, lie has friends everywhere : and will have them wherever lie mav be. Gr. dv Bovvm. n Manning. S. C. B.S. Age, 19 Historian of Class ; Assistant Editor- in-chief Quips and Cranks; , ssist- ant in Astronomy. I did H ' cd myself to tliiii[is of lii lit from infancy ' ' Delicate and relined in his »astes, by disposition shy. Bo vm. .n is a student 1)y nature. With a touch of genius, he seems evanescent — almost ethereal. Sympathetic, self-forgetful, there is nntliing cynical nor malignant abf)ut him. nothing rough nor unpolislied. Versed in tlie best literature, he writes well, and converses fluently wlien one has succeeded in penetrating his natural reserve. From the first he disdained the turbulent life of college dormitories, and sought the more sequestered ways of a village home as lieing more con- ducive to his scholarly meditation and scientific research — for he is nothing if not an astro-physicist. For three years in the Pliysics Department his star has shone with unrivaled splendor, while the terror of his astronomical dissec- tions is campus-wide.

IIarrv ' ilson Bachman Bristol, Tenn. A.B., En., K.A. Age, 20 Assistant in Chemistry; Staff Quips AND Cranm-cs; Magncine Staff; Punctu- ality Roll, four terms. Full of slniin c oatlis. and bearded like Ihe pard Bachman may best be described as being sulfuric in temperament. Wheth er thus naturally, or by long association in the Chemical Lab., is purely a matter for conjecture. However, to say that this detracts from his general make-up would be base calumny — it is merely the effervescing overflow of his super- abnnd. ' int energy and vitality. Self- possessed, capable, tnagnetic — he is wonderfnlly attractive, and thoroughly likeable. Fkank Fisher Baker Sali.sbury, N. C. A.B, Phi. Age, 22 Full many a lady I have eyed zeilh best regard, ami many a time The hannany of their toiujiies lias into bondage Brought my too diligent ear Hen ToiTi, Dog Boot, Consound — more talk in a minnte than you can lis- ten to in a week, and nothing said. How- ever, Frank is good-looking, and we have to make allowances. He is a fixed and regular feature of the choir np in that famous institution known as the Alley. When Frank goes to preach- ing, the other yoinig preachers from the Alley won ' t have a chance among the ladies nnlil he has made his selection. The Greek class will lose one of its best I)erformers when Frank has made his di p.irlure.

' ■ Id fall the ii ' »( »ii ' ,f of mine eyes John- suffers all the discomforts of rcil li.iii-. . lthongh he insists that his locks are Titian, we pledge you that they are as unhappy a cross hetween hrickdust and carrots as you ever saw. His besetting sin is inertia. Sleep with him has become an obsession. It is his proudest boast tliat he has never stayed awake during an entire class. Despite this, he has always roused himself suffi- ciently to make the Honor Roll. If he could disengage himself long enough from Morpheus, there is no telling what intellectual heights he might attain. kl( ilARI) Al ' STIN BUL1,0CK Bullock, N. C. A.B., Phi. .Age, JO He iippniiulies nearest the nods n ' io kiio-. ' s oil ' to l-ie silent This biivine specimen of animality hails frnm the thriving city of Rullock, X. C, a place famous as the birthplace of its founder ;uid most distinguished citizen — the said specimen. Ricii. rd claims that Pnillock will in the near future be the metropolis of Nortli Caro- lina ( tlie exact dale we think is June, iyi3), which signifies that Rich. ki) has a most fertile imagination. He doesn ' t talk much, however; and this in turn being interpreted means that he possesses a good store of connnon-sense. H ' s chief charaderislic is his aversion for all femininity— l)e it maid, matron, or aged dame. If he ever rakes up courage enough to pop the (|Ucstion to the future Mrs. Richard A., we warrant that tlial lady ' s surprise will be so great that slic ' ll accei)t him on the spot. Cheer up, Dick !
