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.

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! Class Football (2); First Critic: Vice- President and President Phi. Society; Magazine Staff; Commencement Mar- shal ; College Recorder.

William Andrew McIlwaine Kochi, Japan A.B. ; Eu. ; Bachelors Club; Blue Pencil Club Whose Hide hoi ' s lodged a might]) mind. Mac halls originally from The Land of the Rising Sun. Perhaps that ac- counts for his sunny hair and sunny hearl and his indomitable energy. For three years he has practiced his jiujutsuic skill upon almost every form of college activ- ity, rolling Greek verbs, glee club songs, irresistible jokes and society orations off his tongue with equal ease, and using his fingers upon violin and pen with equal power. The Honor Roll testifies to his fine scholarship, the student council to his clear judgment, the marshalship to his courteous ease, and the Y. M. C. A. cabinet to his strong Christian influence. He is one of our best.

B.S.; 2 A E He was wonl to speak plain and to the puTpOiC, lil e an honest man and a soldier. Spue is a friend lo everyone, gener- ous, good-natured and popular. He came to Davidson from Southwestern Presbyterian University. He joined the class of 1914, but dropped out last year, and, we are glad to say, joined us on our final lap. A class athlete in foot- ball, baseball and basket-ball, last fall he starred on our class team and was largely instrumental in helping to put us in the championship match. We only wish that he could have been with us longer than this year. The hearty good wishes of all will go with him on his departure.
