HU Ifuj. M b William Wesley Griffin Ninety Six. S. C. B.S.: Eu. And e ' en though vanquished, he rvould argue slill. When Bill left home for Davidson his Fresh year the whole town was in an up- roar, for the very year before, Halliwan- ger had left and ihey had the trouble of changing the name of the city from Nine- ty Seven to Ninety Six, and they hated to change again. But Bill told them that his thoughts would be with them all the lime no matter where he might be, and they finally decided to let him go without changing the city ' s name agam. Bill is quiet, modest and unassuming, a gentleman at all times. He can work while he works and play when he plays, and is the kind of man who accomplishes the big things in life. Class Football ; Secretary-Treasurer Senior Class. Fred Lee Harkey Charlotte, N. C. A.B.; Phi. Great of stature, broad of mind. True of heart and ever l(ind. Harkey joined our class at the begin- ning of our Soph year and has been a prominent member ever since. He is one of the tallest fellows on the campus and he is looked up to by everyone. As stu- dent and as man he has shown his true worth, while his success as marshal shows that he also has claims to the distinction of being a true sport. He occupies an elevated position among us, not only physically, but in many other ways, and we believe that his life will be a great success. Best wishes, big fellow!

George Warren Gignilliat Seneca, S. C. A.B. ; Eu. ; Bachelors Club; Blue Pencil Club Deeper, deeper lei us loll In ihe minds of f(noTvledge. No, that isn ' t my name — it s pro- nounced ' Ginilet. ' We have since had reason to remember that name because it conlinually appears after articles in the Davidsonian and the Magazine, and in other places of honor. And we predict that in the not far distant future the owner of that name will push it higher still in the world of fame. Gun has always stood high on the Honor Roll, but in spite of his great store of knowledge he is usually silent. On the whole, he is one of ' !5 ' s greatest assets. Honor Roll (4); Magazine Staff; Davidsonian Staff. John Wm. Stuart Gilchrist Charlotte, N. C. B.S.; Phi.; B © H; Blue Pencil Club; Gryphon A faultless body and a blame- less mind. Poet, artist, orator, ladies man, and athlete; all of these and more is the Englishman. His poetry is charming, his prose magnetic, and ever smce he startled our customary Junior Speaking slumbers with the phrase, grandiloquently loqua- cious, Ing has held a reputation as an orator. He is noted for his speed qual- ities, and when on the cinder track never fails to excite admiration. First Supervisor, Second Critic, First Critic, Vice-President and President Phi.

Malcolm Michel Knox Pineville, N. C. A.B. Hush that dreadful bell. There is a strong belief about Davidson that Knox needs no watch, having within his head a system of cogs and planetary gears adjusted to mark time more accu ralely than moon, tides, or Sol himself. One thing is certain, the bell is rung on the second. Most college men think that they deserve credit for making good grades on the hard tickets which are in every course, but Malcolm was not satis- lied with this and has gone out of his way to select all of the hardest courses in the curriculum and has made good grades still. He is an expert in wrestling, check- ers and deep problems in mathematics. John Caldwell McDonald Charlotte, N. C. B.S. ; K 2 ; Gryphon A noble bo ), a brave, free- hearted, careless one. If it were possible to evaporate or boil down the three words, John Caldwell McDonald, and make them into one word, you would surely find this word to be Lady-Killer. John C. is a heart smasher of the first order, and many are the girls who helplessly dangle on his string. This is not his only feat, for he is an athlete of some fame, having played football, baseball and basket-ball every year since he came to college for the honor and glory of ' 15. Whether we call him Collie, Runt, or Mac. he ii a good fellow and we all like him.
