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. CHEt.oR; 2T ; Polity Club ' He adorned whatever subject he either spoke or wrote upon by the most splendid eloquence. 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.

■:::: - HUGH KERR AIKEN, JR. Laurens, S. C. B. S. ; -AE; St. Ckcii.ia; . nai.vst Is there no respect of place. Person, or lime in you High an l mighty I xaUed Roost- er of the Order of the Fhngers of Durliam. Thi.s shiny-eyed lad is a mess with the women, often getting as many as one kiss in twelve nights. He is some musician, too; he knows three chords and all the discords on his guitar, executing Over There and Love ' s Old Sweet Song with impartial slaughter. Let us give you a piece of ad vice. If ever you are down and out, do not go to the doc- tor for a prescrii)tion, but go to Pike, let him joke with you half an hour, and you may be assured that your blues are a thing of the past.

S. 2; Ki); St. CErir.T. ■■.Is good to be out of the World as out of the Fashion. Charley is a thing of beauty and — perhaps a joy forever. 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.

BENJAMIN McCLURE BROWN Cornelius, N. C. B. S. ■• iiui justh sa with thai honkcd- nosc Fcllnw of Komc. ' I came. I staid, and I overcame ' We have always known that Da- vidson had a httle suburb attached to the southern part of it. but we did not realize what there was ni it until we met Bennie. It is really surpris- ing what these little towns will pro- duce. Bennie started out many moons ago to toil in the pathways and byways of knowledge, but each year he realized that he had not found a class which he could .h 0 ' ' enough to graduate witli, until this year he cast his lot with us. Bennie is an optimist. He really doesn t know how to worry and the fact that he carries seven or eight tickets docs not dispel that smile that wont come ofT. Bennie, we ' re glad you re with us.
