A fair exterior is a silent recoiiunendu- tion This mouthy individual is the standby of all our college gatherings. What subject is there that he has not some- thing to say about? Verily, none; he practices on them all. But this man is useful, for doth he not second every motion possible made in his presence? Certainly ; but why not be useful, if not ornamental ? AIcDuFFiE ' s propensity for speaking won him a rep. one time, and ever since then he has been regarded as good in the art. As a business adven- turer, he is one of those preachers who possess the knack of gathering the worldly lucre where ' er they may be, yet still maintaining their spiritual exalta- tion. Truly a happy combination, and one that will prosper him. Al.unix Clifton McLeod Red Spriiig.s, N. C. A.B, Phi. Age, 22 Cla.ss Football ; Captain Senior Foot- Iial! Team. Direct him not, -wliose leay liiinself ;i ' ehoose For the last two years, Ci.iiT has led the great awakening. He has insisted on pulling ilic bellrope right in the midst of our most Iieauliftd dreams. He has a most amiable temijer, so that when he gels mad it would be better for one to leave him .and go ;md stop a circular saw with his hand. Free samples of sulphurous elof|ucnce may be had at any time by starting a conversation with him on the subject of Creek, altliough lie learned one hundn-rl ;ind ten irregul.ar verbs in cuie iiiuhl.

' ho k-iioic litre iiol. no ' a ' ords cun I ' aiiit! .hid to those 7eho kiwze thee, all ti ' ords ore foiiit Phis wild aiKl woolly specimen, with a voice like a foghorn, has been a terror in class football in many a bloody game. .Xevcr aspiring to a D. C. or a varsity 1), his plucky service has been our sav- ing grace in many close games, and will be joyfully missed by our under-class- men next year. Lowr.axcE is one of the steady, hard-hitting fellows that make up the backbone of the class. WiLLI.NM EnW.VRD LVN ' CH Edgefield, S. C. B.S., Eu., 2AE; Gryphon Age, 21 War, he sani . is toil and trouble: Honor but an eniftty bubble Ed, the champion of Peace, the cliampion of Woodrow, and the cham- pion of leisure. Just as we had come to the conclusion that he was about to end his college career after accomplishing nothing more strenuous than a campus course, he convinced us in a most sur- prising way that he is some orator. He is a firm believer in the flowery-bed theory of life, but if you want to see him sit up and take notice just say politics to him. He has the making of a stump speaker in him, and some day we hope to see him in charge of the job Woody is now holding down.

Tarion Eugene Mattison Anderson, S. C. B.S, nKA. Age. 19 Class Football, Scrub I ' ootball. Silent in scfen languages BrN is a strange combination of dry wit and disgusted grunts. Although he gives one the impression of unparallelled taciturnity, when you get him started be has a nice little line in his assortment, which he hands out in his own peculiar, alirupt, and jerky fashion. There seems to have been some slight diiTerence between him and Soph. Physics, but matters were so well adjusted that he signed up for Junior and has been a wiser and sadder man ever since. Clarke Cothran Minter Davidson, N. C. B.S., Eu. Age, 20 Vice-President Chemical Society; Class Football. There is no great genius ivithout a tineture of madness When the potter shaped this lump of clay in mortal form, a strange mixture did he make. It takes a long time to know Clarke, but one must know him to admire him. Once you have attained this exclusive circle, you find him some- thing of an embryo philosopher, won- dering about the unsolved problem of the predestined preponderance of Life over Death, or some such subject. Quite a pessimist is he also, for he is an abso- lute atheist when it comes to the other insoluble problem — Woman. But aside from these, Cl. RIvE is a popular fellow on the campus, a good student, and loyal to his class.
