' 1 4 ClI- LAUCHLIN M. CURRIE DeFuniak Springs, Fla. A. B. 2; 2T; Analyst ■ ' — IV hose high endeavors arc m ward Hijht Thai makes the path before hiii wa s bright. Emory and Henry is a loser and Davidson is a gainer, for this effer- vescent ebullition of humanity is in truth an extraordinary phenomenon. He can tell you more things in two minutes than you ever dreamed could have happened and some that you knew could not. Virginia girls, foot- ball, tailoring agencies, cissoids, or what-not, he ' ll give you some infor- mation on them. Chemistry is his long suit and it ' s full peg at that. As a rule the world likes a man that is full of fun. always happy, and cheery, so there are not many doubts but that Locke will go over the top as a success in this world.

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. Johnny is always open to conviction, when you see things just as he does. John has a clear, keen mind, is a friend to all. and possesses those characteristics which will com- bine to make him a truly great man.

GEORGE SANFORD CROUCH Cartersville, Ga. Eu. ; KA ; St. Cklilia A fair exterior is a silent recom- mendation. This man hails from the red hills of Georgia where he learned how to run four-forty, break ladies ' hearts and swipe watermelons (or maybe pears). George has been a decisive factor in the building up of our suc- cessful track team for George ' s scores mount up like a drug-store bill. He would have been a Venus de Milo but he lacks the Grecian nose. All the girls and all the boys (including George) like George. George is the big boy on the audit board which is preparing him for the office of High Muckcy-muck in the First National Sheckel Depository of Cartersville, Ga., U. S. A.

WILLIAM COOPER GUMMING Wilmington, N. C. . . 1 ' ,. : Pm. ; -T; Polity Cub Who .I ' ilh a natural instinct to dis- cern What Icnowledye can perform, is diligent to learn. The village of Wiltnington, N. C, wished this prodigy upon us in the fall of 1914. Once in a while Wil- liam uses his spare time to study. At other tiines he writes highbrow po- etry (so-called), keeps books and de- bates in the Phi. Society. As Ser- geant of Co. C. Gumming has put his foot on the bottom rung of the ladder leading to Somewhere in France. With all statistics in we predict that William will be a big factor in the CimiTiiing generation.

Thinking is but un idle waste uf lluiui lil. Samuel Mosely Davis, otherwise known as Bing, made his first ap- pearance in this orb of misery in that little burg which bears the eupho- nistic appellation of Mt. Olive, N. C. 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. The Freshmen all love and adore him because of his tender sol- icitations in presenting them with nu- merous Christmas and birthday i)res- ents. If he fs as faithful in his fu- ture business as he has been in mak- ing the punctuality roll we have no fear for Hing. HOWARD ALLEN DISHON Monticello, Ark B. S. ; .Analyst By till ' work, one knows the wnrk- )nan. One look, ladies and gentlemen, at this beautiful view! Our prize class- baby! (One look should prove suf- ficient dose, if not, repeat after shak- ing!) This fair specimen of infancy will — when forced to confess — shamefully admit that the state of Arkansas claims him for a native son. Entering the classic halls of Davidson at the age of fifteen, Dis- hongh, armed with rattle and paci- fier, soon let tlie campus know he was here. It ' s been known ever since without doubt. Dish poses as the one and only bug stud in the stu- dent-body. It ' s some pose too for he has the ability of making even a Sophomore work. Dish will make a cutting-up surgeon some day at least he says so. Biology l,:il)or.-ilorv;
