' 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.

Age. 21 Class Football; Class Baseball; Vice- President Sumter Club, Energy and fi rsislence conquer all things HivXRV Dickson CoKnKTT — Dickie for short — was born to be great. 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.

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.

Charm sirihcs the siyhl. but incr.t :i . i.« the soul Tit is a regular little Quaker. It has been said that he is the niosl serious man in college. He certainly is. in his studies. Xo matter if he hasn ' t the slightest idea what the answer is, he has the happy faculty of making the professors think tliat he has. He was such a faithful worker in Literary Society that we made him President. Tut is the hest tennis player that we have. He plays with an accuracy that has won Iiim the championship. He lias upheld Davidson valiantly in inter- collegiate contests. Judging from his past, we arc expecting nuich of Tut. and wish him success. Zf.nws Johnston Cr. wfokd Lincoliiton, X. C.

Generous coui ' ersc: a soul exemft from frhle Of all iyi3 ' s men, Zed Crawford p robably deserves more credit than any. owing to the circumstances attending his college life. In his Fresh year he roomed with Jim Bridges, and kept his sense of the aesthetic : as a Sophomore he roomed with Squire Bales and Cupid, but unlike Squire he escaped the darts of their little room-mate and kept liis heart; last year and this he has roomed with Madame Murphy, and has kept his sanity. Quiet, reserved, and dignified, it takes some time to get acquainted witli liim. liut when yoti do know him you find that he is pure gold If) the core. From Davidson he goes where Afric ' s sunny fountains roll down their golden sands. for the pur- pose of delivering their land from error ' s chain and probably to furnish the ( (• • • resistiuice for some can- nibal king ' s Christmas dinner. We hope, however, that before leaving he will make seve ral records for the Victor, for we would hate to have his beautiful voice perish. Success to you. Caruso !
