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.

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.

JAMES WOODROW CLARK Charleston, S. C. A. B. ; Phi.; HKcf.; olK Do you seek his equal. ' ' jVoiii ' is , except himself. 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.

B. ; Fi . am a man and nothing that con- cerns a ))ian do I deem a matter of indifference to me. 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.
