To us, the editors, you entrusted the task of producing ci hook ivhich shouhh rep- resent the whole student body. Try- ing difficulties have beset our paths in this crucial year. 7 ' ; task was great and the responsibility heavy, but we have atten pted neither to slight the one nor shrink from the other. If we have failed we are most culpable. If we hiave achieved any small measure of success our work has tujt been in vain. llllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIII Ill Illllillllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllli Mips cinD CTclIlfcC ANNUAL 5TAFF H.

With his del- icately hunched shoulders and the sweeping curve of his spinal column, he truly is the Beau Brummel of Da- vidson College. He is a student of great fame, often remaining upon the campus as many as two days a week, and life wouldn ' t be worth living if he couldn ' t attend a hop or two every month in Charlotte, yet he manages to .slip away with the high marks in some manner. Charley is said to be a lady-killer, but as yet we have heard of no injuries. The possessor of a bright mind and a splendid ex- ecutive ability, he will later get there right. y ' y JOSEPH SIDNEY BACHMAN. JR. Bristol, Tenn. A. B. : Eu. ; KA loz ' c quiet solitude and such society As is quiet, nice and yood. Joe means well and is harmless so long as lie is not disturbed. He is really a handsome youth with his china-blue eyes and Esauesque ap- pearance. He can usually be seen in a state of placid repose in front of his palatial domicile, Watts. He snickers around the ladies, hopin.ir thereby to gain the sobriquet of cute — and from some of their ac- counts he really gains it. As a room- mate for Casey, he proved a suc- cess so we know that he will make some suffragette a good husband steady man and the Class of ' 18 as- some of these days. Joe is a good, sures him of success. GEO. COUNCIL BELLINGRATH Decatur, Ga. A. B. ; B.

And a great and strong wind rent the mountains — This quotation surely fits this noble representative of Atlanta or;itory at D. C. When Jargr Bell- ingrath first sttuck the Hill fiew recog- nized hin as a Demosthenes in embryo. None knew that in his system slept the spirit of a Webster and the ability of a Clay. With a determination grim as death and a fine steel spring driving a clockwork of precision we predict that Bcllingrath will some day represent his city ward on the police force.

The boy eats, the boy sleeps, and when the boy has nothing else to do, the boy studies. Does the boy love the girls? YES!!! The boy does love the girls. Do the girls love the boy?

If this man hasn ' t driven every professor on the Faculty crazy, it isn ' t his fault. For goodness knows, he has asked enough questions to do so. This camouflage perhaps ac- counts for his high marks because Woody never gives the Faculty a chance to find out how little he really studies. His position as orderly on the staflF of General Fetzer and Cap- tain King has also inspired master- pieces of totally unnecessary knowl- edge on the part of some of the pri- vates involved. However, like his famous kinsman. Woodrow gets there just the same. Secretary Phi.

When this man was a Freshman he would cover biscuit after biscuit with a sweet, viscous, mellifluous, black liquid, otherwise known as zip, and thus he has been called ever since. Zip has made progress since his ar- rival here at Davidson. He recogniz- ed the superior advantages (?) of Rumple over Chambers and is now a confirmed Rumpleite. Believe me. this man believes in exercise. The authorities could profitably rent his room as a gymnasium for the rest of us. Zip is an optimistic lad and never believes in allowing his studies to interfere with him, though he pulls down the ' . G. ' s consistently. Class Football; V. M. C. A.

Uncle Sam made a mistake when he sent Pershing to France instead of Johnny, who at the present writ- ing is 2d sergeant of Co. B in di- rect line for corporal. His con- science is so great that he is said to have stolen a kiss one night and felt that he ought to return it the next night.

Bing doesn ' t believe in letting you know he is around but he most as- suredly is, for he has given the honor roll the scare of its existence, since he has been here. He is a specialist in beating time to the tune of a ra- diator.

Juni, tEfje Spirit of 1918 For six and thirty nunitlis we ' ve climbed — And now we ' re done ! We stand at last upon the peak, And hail the sun ! Behind us, down the valley far We mark our way — And look with pleasure, o ' er the trail We toiled last May. That blackened steep there glistening in the sun — Is where we slipped, and where some tumbled back ; Yon wrinkled path, and yonder fuzz of trees. Is where we tried to cut and lost our track. Through all the mazes of these months We ' ve found our way — And now will pause a little while For holiday. But we ' ll not stop upon tliis height As if we ' re through. There must be other crags beyond — We ' ll know them too ! We ' ll change the word, we will not say we ' re done. But forward-looking say, ' c ' ve just begun. Before us spreads a nobler ' scape. Tower greater heights, and they too must be won ! 4„. JLtl ■ % t ' T } Senior € M% Jlisitorp HORT P.UT SWEET. This is a phrase which wt-. the Class of 1918. can truthfully apply to the past four years spent here at Davidson. fis true that we have bemoaned our fate at times, wishing — but words can hardly express the many selfish desires that arose in our mind.s when all was not well. Hut soon these dark clouds would float by, and as we pass farther aw ay from our earlier college days we fully realize that memory and distance lend enchantment to the view. Indeed that was a memorable day (to us at least), when on September 7, 1914. we first invaded these parts, one hundred and twenty strong. How cordially we were welcomed, especially by the Sophs, some of whom even journeyed as far as Cornelius to greet us. And not for an instant did they allow their attentions to flag, but plans were soon hatched for our entertainment, and no sooner thought than done That first evening the most of us were assembled together and while acquaintances were being formed, we were escorted around a la Sing Smg style so as to learn the many mysteries of the campus. The few who escaped had numerous callers, some selling belts, others lapboards, and the most of them dis- tributing free samples of that marvelous tonic Get Over. And ample enter- tainment was provided e en for the most fastidious throughout the remainder of the year. ' Uh such incentives to actif)n. it is no wonder that our class has been enabled to accomjilish so much. As to scholarship, a simple illustration will suffice. East Eall out of a class of forty-six, nine Seniors made the Hon..r Roll. I ' mm the remainder of the student body, two hundred and forty-six in all. only an .■.|u.il number, nine, attained that coveted honor. In athletics too we showed this same proficiency. During the past four years twenty-four D ' s have been won by our men. five i n track, live in basketball, seven in baseball, and seven in football. The other phases of college life were entered with llie same .est, aiul cor- responding success resulted. Would that lime and sjiace permitted further data as to our works and defects, the lormer as a tribute, the latter as a warning. At the proper time (Junior and Senior speakings), we were no less for- ward in attempting to disclose our wares vocally as we now do in print. Either out of sympathy f)r curiosity such a large crowd of people flocked to hear us each time that the numerous hotels of Davidson were taxed to their uttermost to accommodate them. Time has worked marvelous changes in the last four years. From out a numtier of one hundred and twenty Freshmen, only forty-six Seniors remain to tell the tale. And yet for once a class should be proud of such a depletion. Un- fortunately (for the Kaiser), the great war began raging during our infancy at Davidson. As the days and months rolled by the need for fighters and workers became greater. And it was in answer to this call that the ranks of the Class of 1918 gradually lessened. Thus far no less than one-fourth our number, thirty men, have answered the call to arms. Three of these have been made sergeants; eight, second lieutenants ; and four, first lieutenants. Many more have been doing their bit along other lines, and three months hence (June), forty-six more, hav- ing completed their present duty, will offer themselves free and unreservedly to the call of our government. The members of the Class of 1918 attained a marked proficiency in shoot- ing their professors, the Germans come next, and what less could be expected from such men but that a life of service and success vet awaits them?

HEN the Class of ' 19 is gone, such a term as a Bloody Soph will ave disappeared forever from the pages of Davidson ' s history. Do not misunderstand me, I pray, gentle reader, this does not mean that such a title could be placed upon the Class of ' 19. Nay ! Far from it. It means that we were green when Sophs were red, but when it became our time to assume the role of a Sophomore, we were as meek as Mary ' s little lamb. It has been said that history repeats itself, but this momentous change in customs and traditions will never again be repeated. ' 19 paid the full price once for all. In our trials and tribulations during this trying period we elected as our leader J. W. McAlister for he discovered the fact that the nearest or rather best way back from supper, after a good snow, was around by the athletic field. The Sophs evidently thought they could improve on Nature so when Nature made the snow fall, they made the snow ball, while we balled the jack. However, despite all tender admonitions in the form of snowballs or any handy piece of timber, hard or otherwise, we managed to slip away with the football championship in our first year. Who can say but that the fierce tackling and line-plunging was only one way of getting our revenge. In our Soph year, we had that glorious never-to-be-forgotten Soph Ban- quet in Charlotte. The trip was good, the menu was better, but far superior to anything else and in a class by itself was the excellent detective work done in lo- cating, on our return, such pieces of furniture as are commonly designated as beds. It is not strange that during the inspiration and excitement of the occasion one student was heard singing a wonderful parody beginning Where, Oh! Where, can it be? Railroad Clarke was the leader of our band during the time when we were not allowed to scare a Byrd or disturb the Knight with hideous yells or even strike the Shields of the Freshmen with our tortuous implements of warfare. In our Junior year, after electing C. W. Worth as our President we showed the others how a class championship could be won with a perfect record and not l r a single defeat in the contest. We have contril)uted players to all the Varsity teams and given Junior speeches galore. Thus far the war has not been mentioned or even hinted at in this history. If it be true that most history is the story of wars and rumors of wars, then our history is, indeed, a memorable one. Our class has (at the date of writing), fur- nished more men who are in the service of their country, having answered the call of Uncle Sam, than any other class in College. Moreover it ranks second in the list of all classes, graduate or undergraduate, of Davidson College. We are sorry to lose these men from our ranks but wish them Godspeed in their service. We feel certain that they will add glory, fame and honor to their Class of ' 19. One member of our class, David Reid Poole, who was in training for service was the first Davidson man to make the supreme sacrifice and gave his life for his country. His name will head the Roll of Honor of Davidson men who have died in their country ' s service. In a very few months we shall be on the last course of our college career. It is certain that many of our number shall depart for other duties, but it is also certain that the old spirit of ' 19 that has brought us so many honors in the past shall contmue to be an abiding characteristic. 5 D PH5 cltlD jHusiingg J efore an 0ptn Jf ire m Cfjambcrg With apologies.

I don ' t see, however, why Thommy should be given so much credit for making the above remark, for if he hadn ' t made it, I surely would When I began the Soph history I could not fail to note the enor- mous number of great men in our class, nor could I fail to note that the only things important in the past years have been the achievements of these said men. Napoleon, another of those men who have made famous remarks before I got a chance to make them, has said that every French private carried a baton in his knapsack. He might equally have remarked that every Sophomore carries in his Xo. 9 shoes, instruments for making foot-prints on the sands of time. Some of us may get famous on account of finger prints also. As to the origin of the word Sophomore there seems to be much dispute. E. X. Spence, author of The Intangibility of Zero and other valuable treatises has advanced the following theory which is rapidly gaining acceptance. Sopho- more is a combination of the Greek derivative Soph, meaning wise, and the English word, more, denoting we are more wise than when we were Fresh. The history of the world is most commonly divided into three periods: First, from the creation of ihe world to September 7, 1916, that being the date generally accepted as the time of the entrance of our class into Davidson College. The second period covers the time we were Fresh. The third, or Modern period, deals with the time when we became Sophomores, and revealed to the world the magnitude of our accomplishments. The first period, or ancient history, is not deserving mention. The second begins with the migration of about 151 hardy tribesmen to the Eiysian Fields of learning, to the rich and opulent domains of wisdom. Like the Germanic tribes that s ei)t over the Roman lunitire these initiates into college life swept down upon Davidson from the recesses of their mountain homes, from Wilmington, N. C, and Monli alla, . la. Then followed a period during which there was a fusion of ilu- old civilization and Uie new, generally known as the Dark Ages, but more pro])erly known as the fireen Ages. These new invaders, who were cx[)osed lo the did.ictic inoculation of academic propaganda were known as Freshmen, a title of a state, which to (|uotc Kipling 67 11 J I ' f. ,,  y and the patent medicine advertisements Must be experienced to be appreciated. But this time at last passed, though some of us didn ' t, and the second chapter in the history of the world came to a close. When we came back as Sophomores, many of us did not come back. The war had depleted our ranks, but on careful investigation it was found that Liston, Harrell, and Smith, H. were yet with us, and our hopes were restored. We found that we must still drill as Freshmen, but in spite of such a drawback we were in a new world. We were no longer care-free joyous youths — we were men with a duty to do — a duty to safeguard the morals of untrained and immature boys thrown into the freedom and temptations of college life. We have done the best we could to bring the Fresh Class up in the way it should go, and such work as ours should deserve to rank with the contributions of Rome and Greece to the civilization of the world. And so if we judge the future by the past, it is impossible to predict any- tliing but success for the Class of 1920. But one thing saddens our roseate hopes for the future, but one thing reminds us that : The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power. And all that beauty, all that wealth e ' er gave, Awaits alike the inevitable hour. We will soon have to be Juniors. orr= Jf regftman Clag? J. R. Walker — B. V. ROMEFEUT... L. B. SCHENCK.... J. E.

The first of these was the declaration of war against the Teutonic Allies on the part of our country, and whose power and resources will finally be the deciding factor in the great world struggle to make the world forever safe for democracy; and the second was the entrance into the studious halls of Davidson College of the Class of l ' )21, whose members ha e decided tn stri e mightily to do their part in making democracy safe for the world. Jf course this may appear to some as a mere chance happening, but we have always thought tiiat it was a hapjjy coincidence in linking together two great events. It was in early September of the above mentioned year that one hundred and seventeen green, homesick, trembling Freshmen disembarked from the lux- urious all-steel trains plying between Charlotte and Statesviile on the Southern Railway at the renowned place of Davidson, X. C, and after being received in the customary manner by the Y. M. C. A. delegates we w ere escorted through the beautifully shaded campus to the Library Building where w ' e soon matricu- lated, and then we realized that our dreams had come true, that we were college men at last, and how we thrilled with the thought of it ! During the first week or so we were here while our greenness was yet very mucii upon us when the shades of night would fall, the hearts of many of us would beat a trifle faster and then knees would begin to shake when we heard on the campus that dreaded cry : Fresh Out. Then feeling like docile sheep being led to their slaughter we would assemble in front of Georgia and Watts where quite a few Fresh would be found costumed in night attire, yet prepared for any- thing that might come. As a matter of fact nothing serious really occurred and we were allowed to go to our rooms in peace. Thus were we initiated into the joys of college life. The first days here at the dear old school passed very slowly, and many there were who had counted the weeks until Christmas, but as we were gradually molded into the routine of our college work time began to slip by very fast, and Thanksgiving was upon us before we knew it. Then in a few wxeks came, what caused nearly every Freshman to have a sinking feeling, those things called exams. Many indeed were the hours spent over text-books and notes with the hopes of being able to shoot the professors, but soon it was all over, and rejoicing we took our departure for the Christmas holidays. All too soon our stay at home was over, and again we found ourselves upon the battlefield of learning. Home- sick? ' S ' es, a little, but all glad to get back to the place we were beginning to love. 74 As to athletics we have not shone as we had hoped, yet we contributed men in football who have the earmarks of Varsity men next year. There being no class football we did not have the opportunity to display our strength to the upperclassmen. a fact of which we were all sure. In class basketball we gave the Juniors a haid fight for the championship, a fourth game being necessary before the honor could be settled. Our showing in baseball was much better, our class furnishing se eral men who under the skillful hands of Coach Fetzer will de- velop into valuable men. Our entrance into college was under circumstances quite different from any previous class, for our country was at war with a European nation, and so it was under these conditions that the Fall of 1917 marked a new era in the cur- riculum oft ' ered by Davidson College, there being added to the regular course compulsory military training. Thus while we have often had the desire to see more active service, yet heeding the advice of our elders we have remained at college, striving to fit ourselves in every way, so that when the call comes we will be able to cjuit ourselves like men. So now we come to the end of our Freshman year; a year that will always be remembered and cherished by us all. Nine months have come and gone, and where to we dare not say. They have been months of hard work, yet with pleas- ure abundantly mixed in. As we leave we wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the Sophs for their care and watchfulness over us, and it is our desire that we may see them all next year, for as we leave it is with the determination that the fall of 1918 will again see us upon the campus and among the friends we have come to love so dearly. clUD €laii Colors Oh, the white is for our Seniors, Whose solemn, steady march, Reveals to all the waiting world. The fact they ' re filled with starch Oh, the gilt is for our Juniors, But any one who listens, Knows just as well as you or I : All is not gold that glistens.

FETZER Coach Coach is the man who put the L in Wildcat. With material too light for a steam-roller he worked out a Flying Squad- ron as a Red and Black Machine. A very efficient machine, Tlie light weight Cham- I)ions of the LL S. As coach of one of Davidson ' s hest teams, in war-time and un- der unusually trying conditions. Coach Fet- zer has shown himself a man who knows men and who knows the game — and better than all has proved himself what we always knew him to be — a true sportsman. We take oflf our hats to Coach Bill, our .-MI- Southern Coach. Fetzer ' s men were masters of the for- ward pass and the open game. In the open field and through their aerial offensive they carved their way to Glory. For their work, too much credit can not be given to their coach ; his work and planning showed throughout the entire game. — Atlanta Coiiitittitio)!. Auburn game. J. W. CLARK Manager When the boys chose Woody to look after football finances and suitcases they certainly made no mistake. He arranged the best schedule Davidson has ever had and then saw it through in fine style. The showing the team made more than justi- fied such a schedule and to it and its man- ager our thanks are due. Manager Clark announces a heavy schedule for Davidson this fall. Among the schools Davidson is booked to meet are Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Auburn, North Carolina. V. M. I., and the V. P. I. — Charlotte Observer. D. C. Football. G. M. KIXG. CAPTAIX Left End, D Weight 155 Height 5 ft. 10 in. George not only led the team as captain, but also in the number of points scored. His defensive work, coupled with his abil- ity to receive forward passes makes him eminently worthy of his All-Southern and AU-American honors (Jamison ' s pick). No end who ever played on Grant Field gave such an exhibition as was put up by George King Saturday. — .■J i7 (i Jmir- nal. Auburn game. K. C. BURNS, CAPTAIN KLl ' X ' T FULUB. CK. D . Weight 158 Height 5 ft. 8 in. Buck made all-State last year, this year was mentioned for All-Southern, so next year, as captain, we ' ll expect him to make AU-American. As a line plunger he has no equal — and no end has yet been found who could stand up before his smashing interference. In the Navy game Buck ' s work stood out above all the rest, and to him is due much of the credit for the show- ing we made. The great fullback dashed around e;icl and ran completely over Strupper. — Al- luiita Journal. Tech game. H. M. GKEV Right Guard. D Weight 183 Height 5 ft. 8 in. To say Wooly is a wonder, is to ]int it mildly. He was a mainstay in the line and a wliirlwind on the offensive. He is also one of the best |)unters in the Soutli, out- kicking Navy 12 yards on an average. Wooly is another Davidson man picked for All-Southern and Ail-American honors, ( Ward ' s pick). Grey in our opinion is the best defen- sive player of the year — a man who can punt, buck the line or back it up, and tackle fiercel — in brief everything that a good lineman should he. — Alhuitu Cuiislilulinii. The Season. 87 1 1 t: W ' J. A. SHAW. D Left Tackle Weight 163 Height 6 ft. Turk is the Marshal Ney of the Old Guard, who was willing to die but never to surrender. Although light in weight he could always lie relied upon to open up a hole. He has developed into a fast and aggressive tackle, while his defensive work has won favor from all football fans. Shaw was a powerful factor in swing- ing the team to victory. His work against Tecli and Auburn was especially good. — tl ' ashiiijilon Times. Review of Season. G. S. CROUCH. D. H. I.FB. CK Weight 15.5 Height 6 ft. 1 in. I ' lir three years George has been a most valuable sub and this year richly deserves his berth at left half. His long suit is broken field running, at which he makes a fit mate for Flowers. A hard worker, cool- headed and speedy, he is an important cog in the Red and Black Machine. G. Crouch, receiving a long pass, rushed the ball to . ' Kuburn ' s 5-yard line where he was downed by Bonner. — .-lllanta Journal. Auburn game. R. P. RICHARDSON. D. Right End Weight 153 Height 6 ft. Rich always was a star in class football but few of us ever thought he ' d be the Varsity end he has turned out to be. Fast, game, and a hard fighter he held down his end of the line well. In the V. M. I. game he was a rival to King in receiving passes and running down punts. Richardson was particularly good at right end, managing to get into most of the plays. — Charlotte Observer. V. M. I. game. J. W. McALISTER. D Halfback Weight 155 Height 5 ft. 10 in. John can plav any backfield position and plav it well. During the season he was shifted from one place to another and could always be relied upon to do his part and more. Fleetfooted. an adept at side-step- ping and line-plunging, he has all the qual- ities of a great football player. McAllister was easily a star throughout the game, making long gains around ends and through the line. — C ior o . ' Observer. . M. I. game. V. B. CROUCH. D Center Weight 175 Height 6 ft. 1 in. A good many centers have learned to their sorrow how much of a man Billy is. His six feet of brawn and muscle together with a bundle of Davidson fight complete his make-up as a tower of strength in the line The backfield never had to worry about the ball for Billy ' s i.assing was well- nigh perfect. B. Crouch ' s ability to get through the line and down under punts was uncanny. When Donohue received the punt he was tackled fo hard by Crouch that the ball popped out of his arms, and King snatched it up and crossed the X ft — Atlanta Con- stitution. .Aul)urn game. G, D, KI.LIOTT. D kll.HT ' P, t KI.E Weight 175 Height 6 ft. 1 in. Doug is a big rangy fellow with an ideal build for a tackle. Quick and full of fight, he had a habit of breaking through an op- posing line and breaking up plays before they started. Davidson is lucky tliat ho waited until the la«t game of the seai-on to break his leg for his i lace would have been hard to fill. For the third time in the game I ' .lhott broke through the line and threw Strupper for a five-yard lf)ss. — . l ii ' i ' i ' Journal. Tech game. f , Cj - ' c? A. R. FLOWKKS. D Halfback Weight 140 Height 5 ft. 8 in. As the miracle man of the game, Flow- ers was at his best against Auburn. He was the big ground gainer and defensive back for Davidson. Fast, nervy, and heady, Buck earned and certainly deserved All- Southern honors. Walter Camp mentioned him for Ail-American. Flowers, the 17-year-old Davidson half- back, is one of the South ' s most brilliant football players. Despite his light weight, he is a fierce tackier, a good line-smasher, a brilliant punter and broken field runner — all in all, one of the best halves the South has seen in many a day. — Atlanta Consti- tution. Auburn game. HF.XRV SPANN. D Quarter Weight 130 Height 5 ft. 8 in. Henry is the chauffeur of the Red and Black Machine (not a Ford), and is great on dodging traffic. A promising sub last year, he has more than fulfilled our expec- tations. To his generalship and sound judgment, is due much of the team ' s suc- cess. A game and nervy player, with the confidence and trust of the team, Henry is a quarter of the first water. His forward passes were a big factor in the success of the season. If Spann had had a gun his aerial drives could not have been more accurate. His tackling also deserves mention. — Atlanta Journal. Auburn game. J. C. McMASTER. D Left Guard Weight 176 Height 5 ft. 11 in. Mac likes to play tackle but as there was a vacancy at guard he showed his versa- tility by completely filling the hole left by Billy Sayad, and developed into one of the best linesmen Davidson has had in years. His steady hammering and defensive work marks him as a valuable guard. The team is yet to be found that can make him take time out. McMaster handled his part of the Red and Black defense to perfection. — Char- lotte iK ' i ' -ws. Clemson game. 90 DAVIDSON INTERFERENCE IN GEORGIA TECH GAME FLOWERS KICKS GOAL GEORGIA TECH GAMt f ,A I Jf oottjall easion YXn COACH FETZER on the bridge and First Officer Spann at the wheel, the good ship Davidson Football, K ' l , sailed in to the Navy ' s harbor. The future admirals of our na y struck ground swells after they left the first quarter and had a touchdown handed ii er to them to be salted down in their hold. Nevertheless they scrapped it out and were able to return a 27-6 victory to their wharf. The N. C. Fanners and Engineers dug out a 7-3 win from us. The old time Davidson Hoodoo seemed to be working strong. The Wildcats journeyed down into Georgia and ran up against the Golden Tornado. Though considerably turned around, the ildcats slow ' ed up the Tornado and came out of the whirlwind with a touchdown and a field goal in their paws. The Virginia Polys nosed out a 13-7 lead on us and held it for fifty sec- onds. But the whistle blew then and that was enough. Then and there the Wildcats stopped their losing streak. The V. M. I. Keydets couldn ' t stop her. The Flying Squadron gathered momentum over Furman and then ran up against Auburn. The seasoned and ver} ' confident Plains- men couldn ' t keep the green mountaineers from lassoing and branding them — Lost 7-21. Wake Forest held the Squadron to only li points while they massed up 7. Wofford fell by a big majority. Coach Jiggs Donohue ' s veterans from Clemson came up to Charlotte on Turkey Day determined to avenge last year ' s defeat. Though they put up a hard and a game fight, they only succeeded in substituting 21-9 for 33-0. From a hard schedule Davidson came out with six straight victories and rightly claims the second place in the South — second only to Georgia Tech. Though Davidson ' s line was unusually light, the aerial attacks launched by her almost invariably brought the desired result. Atlanta papers unhesitatingly named Davidson The light-weight champions of the U. S. To our coach, our manager, our team and the support of the student-body we owe a successful sea- son of which we are justly proud. D.C Z,l- C. ? 94 Jf oottjall Cljronicle J. VVooDRow Clark W McK.

And she played with a skill diabolically sweet And the Violin sang at her touch — Sang the low, minor strain of a living heart-beat. To the girl who was murderess of such ! As the melody rose, from the silence set free In the depths of the ' iolin heart With her fingers she strangled the passionate plea Till the vibrating strings snapped apart.

THOUGH Davidson played the lightest baseball schedule of many years last sea- ( J son, emerging with one more game won than lost, her season as a whole was very successful. The victories which she turned in were over teams that Davidson always likes to take to a cleaning, while those which she failed to turn in were, in all cases, hard-fought battles which were decided in most instances by Davidson ' s errors. Hengeveld, Lavvson. Worth, and Withers furnished the Red and Black nine a grade of pitching seldom found in college circles, all twirled high class baseball, losing oftentimes by costly bobbles behind them. The season started with a victory over the strong Oak Ridge team, which came here fresh from a victory over Carolina. Hengeveld pitched, and Pharr and McMillan swatted Davidson to a 9-8 decision over the Ridgers. The following day, the visitors evened up the score with an 8-1 victory over Garrison, Withers, and Worth. Davidson could not find the air-tight pitching of Pegram. The Charlotte Carolina League team journeyed down on the dummy line for a little social call April the first, and were duly April-fooled, 6-4, being the form of surprise handed them by the Presbyterians. Worth got credit for the game, Lawson and Withers also working part of the game. Then followed in sad succession three defeats for the Red and Black. Trinity trounced us 6-2 on their home grounds, Lawson losing on errors behind him, though he pitched a good game. Carolina next bumped Davidson for an 8-4 defeat, Folger making a homer with two on. Then the Charlotte League team evened up their score with us by beating us 14-3. Worth, Hengeveld, and Withers all worked in this game ; Hengeveld pitched no-hit ball during the three innings he was in the game. And then Davidson hit her proper stride and four victories and one tie with state colleges followed. Lawson let Elon down with four hits for a 4-1 win, Buck Flowers sewing up the game with a timely two-bagger. Wake Forest bit the dust before Henge- veld, 3-1, and Lawson got another four hit game out of his system when Trinity lost to us 10-3. Sammy Keesler bumped a homer off the center field fence. A. E. went down before Hengeveld in a beautiful fashion, 11-1. Trinity and Davidson tied up in a seven inning game on Sprunt F ' ield, playing S-i on a muddy field and finally calling the game on account of darkness. Withers pitched his first complete game and went great. Carolina gained their second verdict over Davidson at Charlotte, when Lawson lost a pitchers ' battle to Coleman, 1-0. few days later Davidson again got on the wrong end of a 1-0 score with Lenoir, Dutch Hengeveld losing a two-hit game on account of miscues in the infield. The season finished in a blaze of glory when the touring University of Georgia crew was set back by a 2-1 Davidson victory, Hengeveld letting them down with two hits. Alto- gether, seven games were won, six lost and one tied. Hengeveld won four of his five games. A K. 4 i ' « W ' ' ,Vf W ' %, M Perhaps the explanation of the loss of some of these games is found in the fact that there was not a .300 hitter on the team. McMillan led with .293, Wood with .294, Pharr with .285, and Hengeveld with .250 following. Although many of these men were lost by graduation and by the call of war, prospects for another good year of baseball at Davidson, in 1918 are bright, and some of these defeats will be wiped out.

BASKETBALL tEfje Reason AVIDSUN ' s basketball season of 1918 began with a trip into Virginia. Contrary to the usual schedule, no preliminary games were staged on the Hill, Charlotte being quarantined, and Y. M. C. A. teams disorganized were the main reasons. ' Ihe ildcats, in their first game of the season met Washington and Lee in Lexington. The splendid work of the guards and the goal shooting of Henge- veld and King gave Davidson an early lead on the Generals. The final score showed Davidson with 33 leading Washington and Lee by 13 points. Davidson couldn ' t stop the fast work of the V. M. L forwards in Roanoke. Handicapped by a small floor and well guarded by the Cadet defense, Davidson had to give the decision to the Virginians by 29-12. Davidson met her old rival V. P. 1. in her next game. The Techs were outclassed from the start — Captain King for Davidson, caged more goals than the whole Tech team. McAlister and McAskill played excellent guarding and passing games. Roanoke College was the next victim of the Wildcats. The work of Hen- geveld was too fast for the Salemites and in spite of a hard fight Davidson won handily. The Wildcats ended up their trip by winning from the Winston-Salem Y quint. The reserves played D. C. ' s the first half and more than doubled Winston ' s score in the first half. The Wildcat Varsity played the last half. The Friday after the Wildcats returned they met Guilford on the Hill and after a hard fight added another victory to their string. Then the team struck a streak of hard luck. Guilford, V. P. 1., Clemson, and W inston were all forced to cancel games. Consequently no more games were played for three weeks. In the meantime Hengeveld developed a bad foot and the team was not up to usual form when it left on its Carolina trip. Guilford won out by a few points on their home floor. The Wildcats then took revenge on Elon but fell before the fast work of the University. In the last game of the trip Davidson met Trinity and lost a hard fought game. The score was tied half a dozen times and Davidson was leading five minutes before the whistle blew, but the fast work of Cole and Starling won the game for the Methodists. Davidson redeemed herself on her home floor when she cleaned up the Aggies from Clemson to the tune of 37 to 22. Clemson played a good passing game but the floor work of King and Hengeveld ' s 10 field goals were too much for them. Hall and the two guards i)layed excellent games also. The work of Robinson and Bryant featured for Clemson, but in their last game for Davidson the Henge eld-King combination could not be beaten. A%i To our team, our coach and our manaj er, our thanks are due for the suc- cessful season of 1918. BASKETBALL CHRONICLE W. McK. Fetzer..... THE TEAM Coach G. M.

With George Crouch as captain the team went down to Clemson. After a neck and neck race they beat the South Carolinians out by four points, winning 60 to 56. In a meet here on the Hill A. E. lost to us by twenty points. The work of Grey with the discus and the shot. Brand on the long runs. McQueen and Boggs on the pole vaulting and high jump, Mattison with the 100 yard dash, Finley with the half-mile, and Crouch on the low hurdles and quarter and 880 yards, all added up 64 points for Davidson. Mattison broke the college record for the 100 yards while Grey and Brand bettered their own records for the 16 pound shot, discus and the mile. Two other meets were scheduled but because of war conditions, were canceled. With most of the old men back this year, prospects for a successful year in track is practically assured.

D C ' ci. ri I HE SPRINCj of 1917 marks an epoch in the fjolf world at Davidson, for it was then that Davidson College was first formally represented on that field of sport. On April 20th and 21st was held the first in- tercollegiate golf tournament in the v outh ; the colleges represented being Davidson, University of Virginia, University of North Carolina, and Uni- versity of Georgia. Davidson was represented by R. Howard, H. F. Mayfield, H. D. Roddcy, and J. W. Clark. This first event ended in tiie triumph of Com|)- ton, of Virginia. Too much cannot he said of the excellent wa ' in which the Greensboro Countr) ' Club entertained the visiting collegians. To perpetuate com- petitions of this kind the Southern Intercollegiate Golf Association was formed, with Davidson at its head, J. W. Clark being president, and Dr. H. B. Arbuckle, who first conceived the plan. Chairman of the Executive Committee. Due to tliese facts golf has been taken up with greater interest by men on tile camjjus ; and with further improvements on the local course, the ckilj is growing in membership and the membership in skill. The memliers for the fall term of 1917 were Dr. H. B. Arbuckle, Dr. J, M. McConnell, Prof. W . V. Wood, I ' rof. ]. L. Douglas, Prof. A. Currie, Dr. G. H. Cartledge, j. W. Eea, F. P. Hall, T. II. Wilson, A. F. Fricker, [. W. Clark, G. I). Green, and S. K. Harwell. I % |HKN the College opened in September one of the first things that the hoys did was to parade down to ' look o er the new gym. Few of them were disappointed when they saw it, Tho all were sorry that the swimming pool was not possible at the present, they were very much pleased with the build- ing. The basketball floor — 58 x 91 ft — soon pro ed the delight of half the student-body. Until the new equipment comes a gym team is hardly to be expected but with the material present in the student-body we are looking forward to ha ing a gym team next year of which we will be proud. The gym team will have to uphold Davidson traditions. The ' varsity basketball season this year was the first played on the new floor and the success of the team showed what Davidson can dc when not cramped on a small floor. 116 itlilitarp draining at ©abibsion (.)uite a Lit of interest was aroused when it was announced that mihtary drill wcnild be required this year of Freshmen and Sophomores. IJrill lastinjr an hour every afternoon, with uniforms and wooden guns, was the program. Up- perclassmen were to be able to elect a course in Applied Math, and Military Science and a great many other upperclassmen availed themselves of the oppor- tunity to receive the training. The College was fortunate enough to secure the services of Captain Lea, last year ' s captain of the Citadel cadets, to Fill the posi- tion of Military Instructor. Under the command of Captain Lea, assisted by J. A. Thames and R. C. Carter, the raw recruits were soon rounded into shape and early in the fall first paraded in battalion formations. Since that first showing the l)attalion has made vast impro ement and by Commencement will certainly make a very creditable showing. BATTALION OFFICERS Captain J. W. Lea, Oflicer Commanding. J. A.

Davidson College held its first inter- collegiate debate, or rather, the first of which we have any record. This debate was held with ' ake Forest, and since then fifteen other contests have been held with leading colleges of the South. ake Forest was met in a series of five debates. Davidson winning three and the series, and incidentally capturing a handsome loving cup offered in 1913 by the instGn- Salem Board of Trade and Howard E. Rondthaler. In 1910 and 1911 offord was met on the platform, and by virtue of two straight victories Davidson was the winner of another cup. Series of three debates have also been held with the University of South Carolina and Emory University. Representatives of the Red and Black were successful in two out of three contests with Emory, but lost by a similar ratio to South Carolina. On the whole Davidson has made a creditable showing in this fiel d by winning ten and losing six of the contests, and her debaters have an ex- cellent reputation for ability and power in argumentation. This year showed two inno ations in intercollegiate debating here. First. a contest was held at Davidson, this being with Roanoke, and a northern institu- tion was met. The latter contest was held at Greensboro, X. C. with Lafayette College. 128 1 D € T ciTi fc S Betating tKeamsi The debate with Lafayette College was held at the vState Normal College in Greensboro on the question : Resolved, That all citizens of Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey now residing in the United States be interned for the dura- tion of the war.

Through this co-ordination of the leaders of the col- lege activities, the organization strives to promote a better college spirit and a greater zeal in the upbuilding of student life. Delta Circle was established in May, 1917, when the old Order of the Gryphon, a local organization with similar purposes and ideals, was merged into the national order of Omicron Delta Kappa.

The wary little companion was accustomed to pursue the footsteps of his mistress not- withstanding the mission of her journey, and it is rumored and with good founda- tion that this same lamb did follow Miss Mary to her school on one of her scholas- tic days. As a result, those who were naturally pursuing their studies were amused at the ludicrous situation and promptly forgot their accustomed manners TEXT Mary liad a little lamb. Its fleece was white as snow. And everj ' where that Mary went, That lamb was sure to go. It followed her to school one day. Which was against the rule. It made the children laugh and play. To see a lamb at school. NOTES. Mary. — Dr. McDonald argues with consummate brilliance the theory that the maiden is not Mary, Queen of Scotts. Had. Mr. Jay Bird oods says that the past tense is probably used because of the high price of foodstuffs, implying that said lamb does no longer gambol after Mary- ' s footsteps. Little. This is no doubt a necessary fact, or the great genius who composed the poem would not have given it. Professor Cumming, however, believes it inserted only for metrical purposes. Lamb. A young sheep. Here must be mentioned the opinion of no less a scholar than Mr. Huneycutt, who would picture the lamb as an allegorical character study. Fleece. Wool ( ' ebster ' s Dictionary ).

That lamb. The same one referred to above. Sure. Dr. Stone, Author of Pure Speech in the Original. says, This one word is admirably chosen. — Et cetera ad infinitum. Good grits hot, Good grits cold.

From tlie tinu- when our arboreal an- cestors first chipped their cognomens on the glacier dented strata till the present time, books have been the treasure house of man, serving as a fountain of knowl- edge, a well of consolation, and a prop for flower pots.

Favorite Trees — Pine and Weeping A ' illow. Official Anthem — By the Sea. Motto : — Aqua, Aqua, Everywhere. Founded — Unknown. Chapters — Eikewise. Colors — Black and Blue. Flowers — Thistle and Snow Ball. The Aqua Club bases its claim for attention on its number of members — typified by the falling snow drops on the crest, and by its initiation, which is unique. The curved hemp signifies the rope that binds as a bond of union — and it also holds. The crossed paddles with the strange symbols signifying the un- known may stand for several things. The leather belt is emblematic of the warm reception given to all prospective members. The ten rounded snowballs stand for symmetry and harmony and are emblematic of a portion of the ritual and initia- tion. The undying fire shows the strength and heat of union and the perpetuality of the ideals of the organization. The pipe of peace shows peace and is in the sole possession of the President, Mr. Turk, whose official cognomen is The Most High Lord Potential Archon of the Universe. The three stars stand for the myriads of milky ways that one perceives during the course of tutelage, techni- cally known as the initiation. The bucket with the Latin numerals, Arabic letter and uncouth sketch stands for the power that holds the aqua together. No one except members know what is written on the other side of the bucket, but even the most ignorant barbarian knows what the bucket contains. The letters A-Q-U-A written on the scroll are the golden keys, the compendium of secrecy, the sine qua non of the entire club. They mean many things in general and one especial thing in particular. Their first leader was the Philosopher Thales, who has left to posterity this precious thought, Water is the element, the first principle of things. A later development of the thought is the present day philosophy. Water is great, but the i)addle is mightier than the water. Long live tlie A(|ua Club.

He ' s all the rage, you know. He sings forth a song that ' s snappy — not long. Then makes a bow, so low. It makes one real mad that such a poor fad Should ever gain such a fast hold. The reason is this : He ' s never amiss. Presenting his music so bold. He pours forth his lay, there ' s none to say nay. His song is called melody. And not demure, he ' s generous to be sure.

HALL. — My name is W. A. but they call me General. I can lead in anything from a water tight to a snow tight, and have handed in my ap- plication for becoming Field Marshal of the Davidson Contingent. I like credit, but don ' t like Saturday night mail. My accomplishments are climbing fences, shooting a shot gun, and rooming on first floor Georgia. My favorite color is Grape Purple. R. D. HALL. — Some call me Dave. Some call me Fido, and some call me — other names. I come from Belmont, but you wouldn ' t think it. I take French, and I found out that Belmont means fine hill. I brush my hair in the Francis X. Bushman style and I listen to F. P. ' s ' jokes. I room with F. P. and F. P. rooms with me. I study real hard — sometimes. I have found out where my talent lies and I am going to be an English Professor, if I don ' t be F. P. ' s best man in the Movie Business. I have been in love once or twice. I am sure of the once. F. P. HALL. — I am F. P. the Davidson Songbird. I can sing Pretty Baby, write Sophomore Sonnets, play a guitar, etc., etc., etc. (But that ' s not all I can do, I can also tell jokes. ) I have a high Soprano voice that can climb up to the third C, sit there awhile, then jump down to fourth D. My best girl lives away down in Mississippi, but she used to live in the famous town of Belmont (that ' s where Dave lives). I work hard in the summer and take my vacation in the winter on the second floor Watts. I am going to write an autobiography of my life which I shall sell at reduced rates to all college students. W. M. HALL. — I am Prep the Precious Pet. I play basketball, and am a Sopho- more. I put in a claim for the Hall of Fame because I room in Rumple, but please remember I am a Sophomore. You can find me on the campus or near it. I read Snappy Stories and listen to F. P. sing guitar ditties. I am very fastidious, using only the best in face powders and hair lotions. I feel that I ha e a right to since I am now a Sophomore. I would like to write some more, but I haven ' t the room. W. F. HALL. — I am just plain Frank. I come all the way from Chattanooga, and I graduated at McCauley. I play baseball and tennis, especially tennis. At least, Tom says so and he knows, for he is a good player, but I beat him sometimes — just by accident. (We both agree on this point.) I room on the top floor in the middle dormitory on the Row I o 204 f I and I meet a great many fellows. I forgot to tell you how hard I play at tennis. 1 have got a good racquet also. I forgot to tell you that I am going to move to a quieter place — first floor Georgia. C. L. HALL. — I don ' t like to write in the first person singular. I am just a Freshman, but I deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. Everybody knows me and they all remark on what a quiet and secluding little boy I am. I came across the mountains to go to College and even into another state, but I haven ' t gotten homesick yet — except just a few times when the upper classmen were around. I always tend to my business, study my lessons and remember that Freshmen should be seen and not heard. There is one sentiment that I must give my approval, and that is that a Freshman should never lose his decorum. Look for my picture in the Tennessee Club picture. K )t Crutb as fje is olb June — A moonlight night — a visiting girl — the west side of a large Colonial Portico shaded by a Mexican vine in full bloom — a rustic swing for two. Of course it was purely an accident that my arm fell across the back of the swing as I watched the moonlit face of the girl of sixteen. Incidentally I felt the weather become cooler, and moved a little nearer — that is, to the other side of the swing separated from me by the fair one. Evidently she realized what I wanted, for without awaiting my stammer- ing explanation she moved nearer the side of the swing separated from her by me. e met. A remembrance of er — you, I said.

' ' Without awaiting the affirmative of her silence very long I grasped her in my arms and kissed her, as she timidly smiled and blushed. My heart beat proudly and a tingling, a happy sensation crept through my body, from head to foot. Tust at this time an old owl, perched in an oak tree very near the portico, began his ho-are-you stuff. __ . _ She jumped. I jumped; Both of us ran, Into the house, Not hand in hand.

They don ' t do much but stand around and look wise and in this they act much like Seniors. They are sometimes called Bossy, but there ' s no use for it, for they haven ' t a bit of class spirit. They can be tamed, but they are afraid of Tigers. Bulldogs. Bears, Lions and Sophomores. They stay at home most of the time and look like they would like to go snipe hunting. They don ' t like to be paddled or run and I don ' t blame them. You look into a cow ' s eyes and they seem to say Poor little boy, how I sympathise with you. They seem to know all about the meeting you went to night before last. They tend to their own business, and I believe most of them would make the Honor Roll, if they went to school. They never ask you to carry any coal or valrses. On the whole, I like cows all right. I .saw a Fresh a climbing, A ' climbing up a tree, And, Oh, it was full laden. With big ripe pears for me. I heard a Soph a ' shooting, A ' shooting at that tree, . nd to the ground the Fresh did bound. And made away quickly. Three wise old Seniors, Bound for Charlotte in a Ford.

We would like to say something new about the Freshmen, and something different about the Sophomores. We wish that we could picture a Junior speaking in its reality. It would be better if everybody would see the kodak man and some would omit from their honors the fact that they were, in ' 16, the Assistant-Sergeant-at-Arms of the ' Possum Trot Valley Club. We devoutly wish that we could finish without mentioning first floor Rumple and third floor Chambers. We would like to make no reference about our winter weather, or the campus pump. We wish that we could think of some new idea in drawings for the Aesculapian Club. We would like to have you search in vain for Davidson jokes and snapshots of the old gymnasium. It would tickle us to death to avoid reference to the military suits — and the military guns. We would enjoy it if we could keep from slandering the golf course, the college tank and the Aqua Club. Also we would like liut what ' s the use nobody wants a bonk full of nice blank pages. o 213 Wtt Jfrcsftman ' g iSigf)tmart Sleep came sluwly o ' er the restless. Slowly fell upon the fitfull.

In the Fall, (luring the rushing season, he did all his rushing around the Labyrinths of our Chemical Building; while others cracked wall nuts gathered from the campus, he cracked physics problems. When others delved deep in the box from home and loafed around our handsome station he hunted for the efferent artery of the feline. While some quaffed water from the Labora Ut fountain, he drank deep of the Pierian Springs. While his roommate went on the midnight transfer expeditions, he played hide and seek with Unknown X. He nicknamed re- agents and sang love ditties to the chemical groups. His only exercise was chasing after the ever-elusive Sprite, termed Knowledge. It was rumored that he cut a hole in the roof of Chambers, and when others imbibed Harry ' s chocolate milks, he had all the dope on the Milky Way. While others wooed Morpheus, he courted Miss Ammonia Molly Rate, and cor- responded with Miss Ethyl Acetate. For four years he kept at it with an appalling faithfulness. He packed his room with as many curiosities as the Rock Lab. But now he spends his time testing various mineral waters for his health, and seeking the El Dorado climate that will build him up. He pulls down an enormous salar ' , but he doesn ' t lay many simoleons away for he hasn ' t the time. Moral — Too much of a good thing is enough and away too much. If all the world were apple pie.

(1) Originate a leading character with a campus nickname. Make him a great football player— and also decidedly proficient in baseball, basketball, track and tennis. Present him with a monogram sweater. (2) Create him a hero — a perfect hero — with no blemishes. Give him a pretty sweetheart, but let the villain of the book and the rival to the hero be in love with her. (3) Supply him with a lot of silly admirers who smoke incessantly, carry pennants, wear pretty watch fobs, cheer at the games and say witty things— sometimes. Two of them must be nicknamed Skinny and Fatty respec- tively. Allow Fatty to indulge in quaint humor and boisterous jokes. Have Fatty own a bull terrier. (This is a prime requisite). (4) Let the hero single-handed win about half a dozen games, rescue maidens from terrible whirlpools and burning buildings. Also allow him to puff up his chest humbly and .say quietly, I did only my duty. (5) Trace said hero ' s exploits on airships, automobiles, submarines and other things — especially other things. (6) Write his entire history. Remember that the larger the number ot words, lines, pages, chapters, books and sets, that you write, the larger your monthly check will be.

It has never been tamed, and every year makes its rav- ages among the untutored. Its ancestry is unknown, but its whereabouts are rapidly being extended over a wide area. His favorite hunting grounds are on the college campus, when he sates his appetite on a certain young plain tech- nically known as the Freshinannus. Notable expeditions have frecjuently sallied forth to destroy the terrible dragon, but he retires to his cave, known as the Schule Bored. Temporary relief is gotten by using the Cramberry, but much study must be expended before the dragon is overcome. His hide is very tough, and he is very difficult to shoot, and every shot must be aimed high to be effective. He does not like some climates where he experiences hot air.

The Nontreat of Southern North CaroHna, McDavid Winter Resort is patronized by the flower and bud of Southern Chivalry. Lying between the Metropolis of Cornelius and the Populous City of Mt. Mourne, it is close to the great shopping and mercantile centers. The train schedule is spasmodic and sub- ject to violent change without notice. One may always expect to arrive tomorrow or the day after. Picturesque Brigands with waxed mustaches take charge of your baggage upon your arrival. HOTELS Rock-ribbed and .Indent as the Sun The Robert . Chambers is by far the most cosmopolitan of the four hotels. The pillars of Hercules lend to its portico a feeling of grandeur unsur- jjassed. It is a marvel of beautiful simplicity, rivaling, in that respect, at least, the far-famed Parthenon. It contains upward of 70 cells each accommodating two inmates. There is a keeper on each floor so the new arrival need not feel nervous. RUMPLE A Tliiruj of Beauty is a Joy Forever This is next in point of time to Chambers. In the shadow of the library it is nci wonder that a studious air prevails. A square brick building whose laby- rinthine passage-ways permit one to come in but greatly hinder his egress, espe- cially in water-fights, etc. Mos t of this building has been explored by the great traveler, W. A. Hall, whose book In Dampest Rumple, is soon to appear. This book contains a valuable preface by Dr. B. U. L. Liston, whose infancy was spent among the aboriginal Rumpleites. WATTS So Near and Yet so Far This is a transitional building both as regards its architecture and position, having the same natural brick color as Rumple, it is shaped similar to Georgia and lying lictween the two, has a peculiar mixture of habits. Its roomers ape the sporting proclivities of Rumple and attend the many meetings held in Georgia. I I 5 d-BD f IFcJ r Before its doors is an open forum where a good deal is discussed and much more cussed. Here meet in debate the placid Sherrill and capricious Sprunt on the weighty subject of avoirdupois. GEORGIA Water. Water Everywhere, and not a Drop to Drink This is the most modern of all the hotels, built 213 B. C. by Augeus as a stable. Next to Rumple it contains a majority of joke books and farmers ' alma- nacs. Despite the fact of its lack of tradition here is what two famous men say regarding it : It is very quiet. I don ' t believe that all during my long stay of four years, I was troubled with more than one visitor. — Hermit Thies. It was heavenly after the monstrous quiet of my home village to have visitors perpetually dropping in. — C. W. Hodgin. AMUSEMENTS These consist of lectures which are so irregularly attended as to threaten their withdrawal. Every morning there is a 100-yard dash for Shearer Hall each contestant carrying all superfluous garments between his teeth. Tennis — At first the tennis courts are difficult to find but soon the new- comer learns to trace them by their backsteps of two ft. wire mesh. The large mesh is intended to permit the ball a fair chance of escape and to give the player amjile oppcjrtunity to develop self-control as befits a rare blossom of Southern Chivalry. Gni.K — Our golf course, quite coarse, grass, stones, greens, etc., has the greatest capacity and all the modern facilities for concealing balls. It has nine cups and innumerable holes for the ball. Many good players have been known to get around on a box of balls. Golf maniacs are numerous here. Mountain Climbing — There are two mountains suitable for climbing, Cujjoia and Tank Mountains. Cupola is the older geologically and from the shape having a shaft, it is thought to be volcanic in origin. By far the most difficult of ascent, Tank Mountain provides the greater amusement once climbed. Due to recent obstructions i)laced in the path of ascent only those of an adventurous nature make the attempt. Once arrived at the summit it affords an observation pier, a notice Children Not Allowed and a fresii-water lake for swimming.

Such was the sleeper who rooms just above; Quiet and peaceful he lay, And he dreamed of a house on a long little street, In a town that lies far away. The moon shone full, and the stars above Twinkled bright and fair, And the gentle wind, with a gentle biealh. Stirred her golden hair. Slowly they walked and slowly they talked, And sweet words that come at parting, Thus he dreamed of her as here he lay. And the vanished days of swectheaitirg. He saw in his dream the head incline, The forward he took a pace, He drew a sigh and his lips unclosed, A smile stole over his face. Hark ! what was that across the floor Comes so silently stealing? Right to the bed he leads the way. I fear ' tis mischief dealing. Across the dreamer ' s mattress edge. Quick fingurs soon arc run, And quicker with a nimble twsit The heinous deed is done. Gone are the dreams of the maiden fair, And sweet old days of yore. The dreamer and his bed both lie. In ruin upon the floor. And now, dear friend. The moral attend: Unless you are quick at jumping. When your dream ' s in a whirl. With thoughts of your girl, Be sure you ' re safe from dumping! LJ THE END nDN ' T Ford Cars Authorized Sales and Service Station Tires, Oil, and Accessories C. A.

It practically acts as a compulsory savings bank, compelling the saving of small sums which, in many cases, would otherwise be frittered away. Moreover the savings are protected by insurance, as the contract guarantees that, in the event of death before the policy matures, the return can never be less than the full value of the Policy. The endowments are made to mature in ten, fifteen or twenty years, as desired. In case of permanent disability the policy holder is guaranteed an annual income equal to one-tenth of the face value of the policy. In case of death by accident the double idemnity guarantees the payment of double the face value of the policy.
