Samuel will die at Davidson. Brady for two long years had plodded his way across our campus day after day, but Sammy returned each night to his little trunnel bed at the Brady domicile on South Main Street until the S. A. T. C. changed his custom at the expense of much homesickness on the part of Private Brady. Sam has a D and a star and his football record is well established. We hope lo hear from Sam some day as successor to Mayor Sloan. Scrub Football ' ItJ. -17; Varsity Football ' IS, ' 19; Wearer of the ■■D. Harry Bernal Brown Little Rock, Ark. B.S.; 3 A E; 2 T; Polity Club. The lesser things he flings afar, his eyes upon some higher star. Though he hails from a far-away land. Buck has in every respect become one of U5. His college life has been, for himself, a pre-eminent success; for us it has been a source of worth-while pleasure to have come in contact with such a man. He has won for himself an enviable place here at Davidson, enjoying the full confidence of every man who knows him. Recognized as a man of high aspirations, he has been given a place of well deserved prominence. This, augmented by a friendly, unselfish interest in others, has made him one to whom the Class of 1920 may point with pride. As a manager, he is second only to Matthews. Manager Quips Page

Elwood Rantz Boney Kinston, N. C. A.B. II.; K i:; Ex-Phi. A l noTDn b the compan f he l eeps. Df. He Booney has only two failings that we know of. He will talk about Kinston and he will hang out with Willie, Pot, Pic;, and Ikey. His four years in a large city like Davidson have somewhat overcome the former failing, and he has proved himself a good man by getting along O. K. in spite of the latter shortcoming. His quiet, unassuming friendliness and ready good nature have won him many friends. Aside from being a shark on Bug and getting over 85 on most everything else, he holds down the important post of lance private in the R. O. T. C. St Sup. Phi fty; Vi iil.-nt Edward Nelson Booker Clayton, N. C. A.B. II ■An ani Joclor Phi, aide-Je- camp of death: Booker ' s letters from home are postmarked Clayton, N. C, but it is rumored that the R. F. D. man carries them many miles before this stamp is placed upon them. He left his native city to begin his college career at Davidson, and after four years of steady plodding he has gained the far-famed position of Fresh Monitor. In the Phi Society he holds a place of no mean regard and has become a scintillating star in its ranks after years of steady practice and labor. He hopes some day to become a doctor, but whether M.D. or V.D. we will refrain from stating. R.p. •lull. Page eighteen

Can any oood thing come out of the eastern pari of the Slate? Yes, the land of dry sands and water- melons has contributed the above specimen to the Davidson museum. Lawrence can keep a level head except in the presence of lire, can make a speech or the honor roll with equal ease, and can even get to chapel on time (sometimes). He used to think he would be a country preacher, but since being a marshal he wants a city flock so he can wear a Jim swinger every day. But whether his coat tails be long or short, L. G. has the stuff which makes for success. Carl Homer Cathey Davidson, N. C. B.s. Junces applaujej, he paid them in l(ind.
