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.

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 !

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.

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.

Music lialli charms to soothe the sai ' age breast Mocking-bird? Yes! You may not have guessed it, but nevertheless it ' s true. We have him — the real, genuine mocking-bird, celebrated in song and •itory. Four years ago he left off sing- ing l)y the grave of poor, dear, lamented Hallie, to come and give us the benefit of his golden voice, and ever since has been in the front ranks of the Glee Club, the orchestra, the chapel and church choirs. From the tips of his turned-up toes, past his turned-up smile and his turned-up nose, to the ends of his turned-up hair, he is chocked full of music, good humor, energy, and diligence. If you would have him your friend, just tell him of some Sunday School in the country without a teacher — this is his hobby, and he rides it faith- fully. Mock is a good one. .ind 19 13 could not do without him. Lloyd Cook Cxmi ' iucll Paw Creek, . C. Age, 30 Sofrano. Basso, even the Cniitra-alto. IJ ' ishes him fi7 ' e fathoms under the Realto Cook is a steady, reliable fellow, who can laugh as heartily and sing as loudly as any mother ' s son of us. For one long year he reigned supreme in the Chapel Choir, no one daring to pluck one .gem from his lustrous crown of choir- master. Every morning, with a religious fervor that would put a Christian martyr to blush, he raises his voice in song. We cannot but admire his zeal, however much we may condemn the instrument that displays it. Some men live to eat, still others eat to live. Not so with Cook — he lives to sing, and where there ' s life, there ' s song.
