Bishop is another member of our class who started out with the Class of ' 19 and came back a year late to finish with the best class on the hill. Bishop u a tower of strength in religious circles and the success of the 1920 Convention of Volunteers is largely due to his untiring efforts. To keep in touch with his religious work, P. C. spends his spare time correcting Fresh. Bible papers. During the rest of his idle moments he is at work on a volume entitled Davidson ' s Part in the Great War.

This son of toil laid down the plow and said he was going to be a doctor because he felt sorry for sick people, but since being a victim of the profiteering game here at the Scollege, he says il s merely a monetary proposition from now on. He would look more familiar behind Jew Elliott ' s bar chewing a big cigar and assisting Jew in dispensing the old proverbial Taurus. Doc is one of those men with a big heart, congenial and easy going, who is the same every time you see him.

Ikey came to us under John ' s supervision and has followed closely in his brother ' s footsteps. Although possessing Yiddish instincts. Lacy has a ready hand-shake for every one on the campus. Versatile, he does whatever his hands find to do; enthusiastic, he always succeeds; tactful and cordial, he wins many friends; magnetic in personality, he keeps them. His sense of humor is of the keenest and nothing ridiculous ever escapes his eye. But why write further? Only the half has ever been told and our delineative powers are almost exhausted. He is one of our best and we predict for him a very bright future. President Freshman Class; Scrub Football ' IT; Varsity Football ' IS, ' 19; Scrub Basket- ball ' 17.

' Introducing our Doug is an easy job. as he is known by every one. He sings second bass in the Davidson quartet and plays first base on our baseball learn. He is exceedinnly nice to look upon, having brown eyes that twinkle and ebony locks divided exactly in the middle by, as we believe, a compass and mathematical instruments. He wears cuffless trousers and in addition may have carried a wrist watch in the days of their vogue. But in spile of this sartorial perfection, he is a man ' s man and will be. if he wishes, a success.

To look al this small fellow as he goes across the campus no one would think that he holds the place he does in the oratorical world. But it is true nevertheless. In the E.umenean Society he stands at the very top. having held every office from Janitor to President. And he had filled them all in a very capable manner. Although he is called Squirt McGirt. the college flirt. we have it from good authority that Gussie never does such a thing. Such might have been the case when he roomed with Ox Harrell, but since connecting up with Mitchell he has kept in the straight and narrow path.

John Creighton McMaster Winnsboro, S. C. K 2 ■• s the respect of place, person, or lit Gentlemen, we have here on display the latest addition to the antiquated Davidson Side Show. From all appearances, you would think that this burly blonde was imported from Saxony, but not so. for this creature was captured by Henry Spann while lecturing in the wilds of South Carolina on Cole Blease and the hour system of Davidson College. In truth, gentlemen. Mac is a man who has won the admiration and esteem of each of his classmates — both on the campus and on the gridiron. Like many of us, Mac doesn t like to be bothered with too much work and strongly asserts that the morrow is able to care for itself.
