Silas Ardric Ewart Huntersvir.e, N. C. A.B, Phi. Age, 23 Class Baseball, two years. was not born for Courts or great affairs; pay My debts, believe, and say my prayers Babe is one of those persons that you always associate with perambulators. Of course he has long since discarded his walker and other juvenile accessories, but there still lingers about him the childish precocity of his j ' ounger days. He has dabbled a little in baseball, a little in football, and still less in his books. Boasting no erudition, he is a faithful worker, and never fails to carry off comfortable grades. Carl Llewellyn Ferran Eustis, Fla. A.B., Eu., Ben. Age, 21 Orchestra : Glee Club ; Manager of Orchestra; Leader of Glee Club; Eu. Marshal ; President Eu. Society ; Secre- tary Y. M. C. A. ; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet ; Student Council; Class Basket-ball; Class Football ; Library Committee. He was a verray parfit gentil knight A mixture of good looks, cordiality, neatness, and grace — truly a happy com- bination, Carl joined us when we were Sophomores, and for three years, in his quiet, dignified way, has lived among us, completely gaining our admiration and affection. The old adage, Courtesy winneth many friends, could not be more applicable than in his case, for of all things he is preeminently a gentleman. But Carl ' s good qualities do not end with his being a well-bred and likcal)lc fellow, for he is the mainstay of the nuisic department of the college, and a student of no mean ability. On the whole, he is one of ' 13 ' s best.

Words, ' i ' ords, 7i ' ords Kver since John entered Davidson, it it has been a problem whether he is going to evolute into a billiard ball, a Math, professor, or a professional base- ball player. At present, his talents seem to lie in the direction of a drummer in a minstrel show, though his success in making hits with ladies away from Davidson would indicate a future society leader. He has an almost unlimited supply of miraculous tales, suitable for every occasion, and he never fails to work these off — good naturedly, we hope — at every opportunity. John is inclined to be a pessimist, but could he see his promising qualities as do his classmates, indeed a rosy future his would be. JoHx Hovv. RD Elder Concord Depot, Va. B.S., Eu. Age. 20 Chemical Society; Class Football, three years; Class Track Team. And I ivotdd that my tongue could utter Tlic thoughts that arise in me You would never think that this quiet, unobtrusive fellow was one of the biggest sports on the campus — but such is the case. No gathering of fcminines in Davidson would be complete without ■ ' J. ck and his ever-ready gallantry. But, in spite of this, he takes time to improve his mental abilities, and has succeeded in becoming quite a stud in chemistry. We prophesy for him a quiet future of studious bachelorhood.

Xot only has this distinguished-looking individual three names, Intt also a per- sonality to suit each. When winning deli. ' ites, leading Y. M.

Congenial, adapt.alile, interesting, it is safe to say that he is the most universally liked, admired, and respected man on the campus. He is the living proof that popularity is not the fruit of time idly spent and opportunities wasted, for truly his every moment since he entered col- lege has been hlled with painstaking and protitable work. The result is that at the close of his Senior year he is a credit to himself, to his class, and to his Alma Mater. Eknm:st He. p Gr. ii. m Greenville, S. C.

To see him intercept a forward pass or run ba.ses, are treats that no Davidson man cares to miss. . s Captain of both V;irsity teams, he imbues the fellows with his spirit of hght and determination. He is popular off the athletic held as well as on it — in fact, one of the most popular athletes that has ever starred at Davidson. In his classroom work, he does well for one who plays both base- ball and football. He is a neat dresser, a good companion, and a solid friend. Bright, quick, determined, and persistent. we predict a future of success for him.
