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.

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 !

McAltster Carson Charlotte, N. C. B.S, Phi., K.A., Gryphon Age, 20 President student hody ; President Jnnior Class ; Student Council, two years; Y. M. C. A Cabinet; Marshal; Varsity Basket-ball, three years ; Captain Scrub Basket-ball; Captain Jnnior Basket-ball Team ; Class Baseball, two years ; Pan-Hellenic Council. But lie ' a ' liosc inborn ' L(. ' orth his acts commend. Of gentle soul, to human race a friend C. c is the impartial, reliable, lasting friend of every man on the campus. As president of tlie student body, he has made an enviable record, and has guided us tlirough many perplexing places safely and honorably. Talk to him, and you will think him a D.D. ; but in reality this subdued appearance is the result of tliree years ' care of a nursery. As might be expected, Cac has the usual weakness for the fair sex, and is one of our most dependable fusscrs. Being from Char- lotte, Blowing Rock was quite satis- factory, and now His is in Nashville — so he says. We are expecting great things from C. C, and wish him God- speed in his career.

No man can eat zip ' ' three times every day in the week without coiUaining unlimited possibilities. But it is not only to his digestion that Dickie ' s future success will be due. for be possesses in large quantity that quality mudi lectured on and lauded by o ir late Henry Louis, the essence of stickability, which is the foimdation of all success. He is one of the hardest workers on the campus; his only recreation being tri- weekly visits to Cornelius. They say — but why speculate? All the world loves a lover — and so there we ' ll let it rest.
