Belton Ragsdale O ' Neall Greenville, S. C. B © n And of his port as meelj: as Is a mayde. Baby Ragsdoll O ' Neall is certainly around here! Let him but rare back on that left leg, cock his head on one side and smile, and the gentler sex falls in bunches. Baby speciahzes in economics, plays campus golf, and smokes long, vil- lainous-looking cigars. He is for the Ger- mans because he doesn ' t think they are getting justice over here. It ' s impossible to get mad and slay mad with Baby ; you ' ll have to renig sooner or later. After he has received a few bumps from the world we predict that he will make a good business man, perhaps rising to the presi- dency of the Greenville Alumni Associa- lion. HiNTON Baxter Overcash Statesville, N. C. B.S.; Phi. Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil O ' er books burned the midnight oil? Overcash has one great fault. He makes the Honor Roll with monotonous regularity. High grades are a habit with him. Outside of this, however, he is a real likeable fellow, one who is an author- ity on Bugology. It is verily a perplex- ing problem as to who will be capable of directing the destinies of the Bug lab when he departs. His constant applica- tion to work has won him a place among the honor men of the class, and his good heart and courteous demeanor have won him many friends. He ' ll be heard from some of these days. Honor Roll (4) ; Supervisor and Critic Phi. Society; Assistant in Biology; Assistant in Economics.

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.
