Pitts originated down in Alabama but he did not drop out of the lime-light on being transplanted to Davidson College. To see what a real asset he has been to the college we have only to glance at his football record. Besides being an athlete Pitts has a clear, keen mind and these characteristics which will combine to make him a truly great man. That he never slights his studies is shown by his ability to trace electric currents through armature windings in Physics Lab. It has also been intimated that he is a lion among the ladies. Althogether Pitts has that inherent good nature and genial smile that makes him one of the most popular and best all around men on the campus. We are proud that he came to us for an M.A. Varsity Football, ' 18- ' 19- ' 20; Wearer of the D ; Pan-Hellenic Council; Assistant in Physics. Alexander Love Wilson, Al Quincy, Fla. Height 5 ft., 10 in. Weight 156. Age 22 B.S.; M.A.; 2 A E; 2 T; Polity Club. A lion among the ladies is a most dreadful thing. Al is with us again, having chosen D. C. as an excellent place to receive his M. A. He was unanimously elected the best dressed man on the campus. But he proves that clothes oft make the man and his name is connected with all the prominent campus activities. Al brought with him the sunshine of his native State, Florida. He is noted for his sunny dis- position and optimism. He commands a host of friends on the campus who wish him every success in life.

QAJlPSftfc Miss Alice Carr, Senior Class Sponsor 24 £s emor ' £ eberie By William Patterson Comming I sat and gazed with thoughtful, saddened eyes Into the feeble, flickering blaze : For in the grate a changing picture lies, That tells a tale of bygone days. I t brings to mind, as flames their tongues do rear, The joyous days of care- free fun ; When, four long years ago, we entered here With all our glories to be won. But then we did our work, and with its end No further burdens weighed us down. Our time we oft did wastefully expend — No parent could upon us frown. The fire in Chambers now to me sends out A fitful gleam of dying light, And only glowing embers show the rout Of years that quickly pass in flight. Quickly they fled and to my watching gaze Those intervening years of life Seemed only filled with joyful happy days With changing pleasures ever rife. ' Tis sad to part with those we love so well, To leave them and go hence at last, From this warm kindly shelter where we dwell Into life ' s cold and chilling blast. For as the last bright embers slowly die, So ends this little kingdom here ; And college fame and honors lie behind And we forget them — with a tear. 25 QA3 IPS Earle Moore Alexander Alec West, Miss. Height 6 ft. Weight 165. Age 22 A.B. II; 2 A E am the very Pink of courtesy Alec, the tall, handsome youth with the silken auburn (ahem!) locks, hails from the land of levees, beautiful women, and John Sliarpe Williams. He is a true son of the delta from West. Miss. With the suavity of a gentleman of the old South he wins his way into the hearts of the fair ones who accompany our periodic downpours. Rusty is a very quiet lad and gains many true friendships where the bluster of orators fail. We have our eyes on Alec. It is the man of few words and decisive action that takes the lead in the business world today. Norman Pera Bara Urumia, Persia Height 6 ft. Weight 195. Age 2i B.S.; Eu. I know the gentleman to be of worth and worthy estimation. Baba, although he hails from other climes, has shown us that he can produce the goods. He has a smile for everyone, even if he is broke. Baba is a conscientious, hard working young man and is good ill his studies. He is also very skilled in the art of extracting sheckles. There are great things in store for Baba and every good wish accompanies him as he goes forth from his Alma Mater. Secretary and T ian Club; Salesman uuu istant in Biology I and II c ,.

Age 20 B.S., ' 20; 2 A E A jolly, unselfish personality is the greatest gift of all. Yes, John D is with us again. He liked ole Davidson so well that he decided to spend another vacation at this famous winter resort. Incidentally, he took few tickets — enough to get himself a degree, Campustry. And, girls, he ' s a bear cat whenever there are any festivities on the Hill. One look into those divinely blue eyes and you are captivated. John D is one of those friendly, always con- genial fellows that everyone is proud to claim as friend. The best wishes of the Student-body follow him as he merges forth on the highway called life. Ernest Albert Beaty Doctor Lancaster, S. C. Height S ft., 9 in. Weight 135. Age 22 A.B. A merry heart maketh a cheery countenance. Hello, Doc is heard on every hand and in the distance looms the Doctor. Doctor is a wizard with his books and is admired for his ability to handle English, Spanish, Latin or most any other language. Doc sits in his house by the side of the road and is a friend to man. He is known for his splendid per- sonality, and his willingness to help his friends on any and every occasion. A bright future is ahead of Doc and the Class of ' 21 is wishing him every success. Annual Staff.

Booler began his Fresh year by winning the Eu Society ' s Fresh Improvement Medal, and he ' s been improving ever since. Just look over his record again and you will rind his name connected with every campus activity. He finds time to make the acquaintance of every man on the Hill — and his acquaintance are his friends. In short Jim has made good. Long after he has left Davidson, he will be remem- bered as one of those manly men whom Dav- idson is proud to call her son.

His fame is not all local, for like the proverbial sailor he has a girl in every port, and he just adores blondes. He is a heartbreaker of the first order. He- is a debater and orator of Ciceroian propor- tions and will argue any side of any question ; whatever he does in life will be successfully accomplished, for he is one of these indom- itable personages who knows how to do any- thing, and how to do it well.

Taking part in many major operations and several battles, he came back to us with an honorable record of active service. If he sought the Ger- mans with the same tenacity of purpose that characterizes his collegiate work, then it is no wonder they surrendered in preference to fac- ing him in battle. Quiet and dignified, he is every inch a man, and one of whom the Class of ' 21 is proud. His future, we know, will be as praiseworthy as have been his achievements in the past.

Weight 145. Age 20. A.B.; Mimir Society; A A 2; Phi. Truly a man. CK is perhaps the brainiest member of out- class. He is a clear thinker, an expert mathe- matician and an acco mplished linguist. CK ' ' pursued no line of study in which he did not excell. A debater by nature, compounded by practice, he had his say in everything and ninety-nine out of a hundred times he was right. But even greater was his oratorical abil- ity, if such be possible. Words flew from him with an ease, grace and fluency which cannot be surpassed. His choice of words portrayed a fineness of meaning to the most delicate shade. CK is a good conversationalist and makes good company. His room in Chambers was the mecca of all intellectual souls who enjoyed a good bull-feast. V. M. C. A.

Let wreaths of triumph now my temples twine. Crack is a quiet fellow, always attending to his own business, and making it his business to see that no one else attends to it. Crack is a good student, always making above the average. Crack devotes his spare time to composing epistles of love, all of which have the same destination. In his letters it is said he habitually leaves the commonplace for the sentimental or poetic. However this may be, he applies himself most diligently to their com- position, even taking a course in star-study, as a source of further inspiration. Since he is agriculturally inclined we verily expect to see Crack, when the goal of his literary en- deavors has been attained, settle down to the peaceful enjoyment of life on his country estate James Steven Brown, Jr. Heinie Hendersonville, N.

We don ' t know whether he is smiling at you or the way you spoke to him, anyway he smiles and smiles. Heinie is not a bookworm yet he is a wonder on his classes; shooting the professors whenever an opportunity arises. He has been with us and has made good. If our bet is right, nothing short of success is expected of him.

Age 21 Eu. The orld knows nothing of its greatest men Sam came to us four years ago with the verdant hue around his brow and let the campus know of the great city of Kingstree, S. C. Since that time he has had to work assiduously to hold the title of Champion Set- back Player of the first floor, Watts. He attends either prayer-meetings and card parties with a regularity not to be equaled on the hill. Two years ago he started doing missionary work by teaching his room-mate how to com- mand the English tongue and leave off the idioms Africanus of the swampland. Sam is an easy going, steady fellow who should bring honor on his famous city of South Caro- lina. Jacob Erisman Cassele Vernon Christiansburg, Va. Height 5 ft., 7 in. Weight 160. Age 2i. A.B.: K.A.; 2 T; A K; A II K; Mimirs. I ' ll publish, right or wrong. Eris is a man of many accomplishments. His fame is based primarily on his journalistic ability for his untiring energy to make the Davidsonian the peer of Southern college papers has brought much honor on the publi- tion as well as its editor. He has also estab- lished his reputation as an expert artilleryman for every term he shoots down a 97 or 98. Jacob ' s popularity is due to his voice, for he sings third base on the varsity nine. Finances are also a hobby and so we find him one of the three Israelities. How does he do it all? some one asked. We don ' t know. It ' s just Eris!

But, no, this is a Nick of a different nature. Here we have a real Southern gentleman of the highest type. His is a winning combination that goes to make up the all-around man — pep, punch, personality and power characterize him among his fellow students. He is a practical and efficient student and a hard worker. We are confident that this Nick will be cut high in the halls of fame. Class Baseball.

I ivas born an American; I will live an Ameri- can; I shall die an American. Senator, the big, silver-haired, silent fellow, has won from us the admiration and respect given to silent men. His fatherly hearing and manner covers a warm and friendly nature which has endeared itself to us during our brief sojourn in this, the land of trials and examinations. Henry ' s friendly pat on the back instills confidence, dispells misgivings, and sends one on his way with a lighter heart and brighter outlook. Henry ' s hobby is the great rustic game. When not engaged in slinging a wicked horse-shoe he will be found by his own fire-side with his books, which are his constant companions. Henry is a good student, a good friend and a good fellow. The world would be better if more men were made on Henry ' s plan. 32 William Patterson Cumming, Jap Toyohashi, Japan Height 5 ft., 7 in. Weight 125. Age 20.

This Japanese Sandman who graces our midst with his oriental personage is one of the ambitious lights on the campus. His influences and good work enter into many phases of col- lege activities. His greatest achievements have been along literary lines. From his pen flows an increasing stream of eloquent and vivacious prose, always centering around a firm moral, but sprinkled here and there with the spec- tacular and fantastic. Not unlike men, his chief fault is women. His philosophy in this respect is that even in the desert may be found a rosebud — even Sahara. Honor Roll, ' 17- ' 18, ' 18- ' 19.

Whenever any question comes up on the campus, he is always found on the right side. With a clear, level head he has led the students in every phase of college activity, always with the best interest of the student- body on his heart.

As the mainstay of the scrub football team, he has helped to round into shape the Wildcat ma- chines of the last two years.

Dave exhibited unusual proclivities in the Dramatic Club, and did much to make its efforts successful. Possessed of a genial disposition and a winning smile, Dave is deservedly popular among his fellows.

A.B. ; 2 T There is no truer truth obtainable By man. than comes of music. D. R. is the musical genius of the campus. At the tap of his baton the R. O. T. C. Band plays the swinging rhythm of a waltz or beats the martial tread of the military march. With the ease of a Sousa he makes the band inter- pret what the muse of music has placed in his soul. Not with all of the subtle emotionalism of Creatore, but with the grace and simplicity of Pat Conway, his baton leads the way. Not only in music does D. R. excel, but poetry has laid her votive offering at his feet. Who can gainsay that D. R ' s artistic temperament will lead him some day into the Hall of Fame? Glee Club. ' V- ' XS; Leader Orchestra.

Franklin hove into sight four years ago, most of us thought that someone had mis- taken Davidson for a prep school. However, we were soon to learn not to judge a man by his size as this lad has made up for physical meagreness by an exceptionally large brain. He is, in fact, one of our honor roll studs. Nor, has he confined himself to his book shelf as he has stretched his short legs along a mile track often enough to rate the coveted D. We feel sure that he will show those Marylanders that a real Southern school can put out great men.

There ' s nothing ill can dwell in such a temple If Dave has anything to do with it, it will be a success. Dave is the religious leader of the campus, but he does not take his religion so to heart that he can not enjoy life. Bald- headed, but not from age or worry ; the fuel required for the smooth working of a massive intellect leaves nothing to be wasted on a superficial covering. Full of ideas — good ideas — Dave is always ready to put them to work, and they do work. Dave is a debater of note, a word artist without peer. His graceful ap- pearance and effective delivery would do credit to a man of mature years and of wider ex- perience. There is always room at the top, and Dave is headed that way.

Incidently, Sizer is reported to be the youngest Marine to win a commission in France — though he has con- sistently refused to let the fact be known. In college, as in the army, he has distinguished himself by his constant good works, and by the honors he has won. Though we hate to lose him, yet we are anxious to see him attain the success of which he is so capable. But it is, we confess, with many misgivings that we surrender him to the mercies of the belles of Tennessee.

P. Cumming C oji Poet J A. Poteat Secretary E. A. Beaty Class Historian Claste fttsitorp 3; Ernest A. Beaty Class histories usually begin with a tragic recount of the trials and tribulations of its verdant days of Freshman-hood, setting forth, at more or less length, the affectionate treatment of the benevolent Sophomores in the legitimate exercise of their jus noctis primac. Although we may err in departing from the beaten path of custom in this matter, nevertheless, we shall eliminate an account of those harrowing events and pass at once to the more important record of the things this class has accomplished since that autumn day in 1917 completed its initiation into the erudite mysteries of a full-fledged collegiate group. We began our college life at a time most crucial both to the nation and to the college. How well we did our part towards each of them — how well we performed our duty both as students and as patriots — all may be seen in this true, though necessarily incomplete history of the Class of ' 21. Not one of us has forgotten, nor can ever forget, those stirring days when the United States was beginning to enter actively into the war with German) . With enthusiasm running so high, it was but natural that the Cla ss of ' 21 should be swept by the tide of patriotic fervor then rushing over the entire country. In fact, many of our class volunteered at once for active duty — and we lost them for a time. Many others, in obedience to the request of President Wilson, showed just as true devotion to duty — just as praiseworthy bravery — by remaining in college to do double duty, both as students and as soldiers. And no one who recalls the days of the famous S. A. T. C. can say which had the harder task — those who went away or those who stayed. All did noble service, and only the victorious ending of the struggle prevented the class from winning further military honors. We are glad that we could do our full share in such a righteous cause ; and we are justly proud of the record made by the wdiole class in the performance of the tasks imposed by the war. And though temporarily separated and demoral- ized by the vicissitudes of war, our class proved the sincereity of its high purposes by coming back, full strength, to renew its college work. At this time we were fortunate in receiving into our ranks several men of former classes who had also been away to do their bit ' ' for victory. After such constant expenditure of physical energy as is always the conse- quence of military training and service, did the Class of ' 21 suffer itself to relapse into idleness? Look at her athletic record for the answer! Here, as in all other 60 branches of service, her history is flattering. Time would fail me to tell of the individuals who, separately or in teams, have helped to win for the honor of old Davidson. But it is sufficient to say that in football, basket-ball, baseball, track, tennis, golf and in personal gym, our class has always had her full share of honors. Thus, in the firmament of Davidson ' s athletic stars, many of the brightest have risen from the Class of ' 21. .More than this, the class as a whole has shown the best kind of spirit in the way it has supported these men, and the men of other classes, who have made Davidson famous for clean sports. The literary feature of college life is the one of paramount importance to most students ; since a college is primarily a place for intellectual education. The above mention of our military and athletic prominence might lead one to suppose that we had somewhat neglected our mental training. But the truth is just the opposite! Again we must refer the reader to other parts of this book for indi- vidual instances of genius. But it may be said, with perfect truth, that good grades have always characterized this class ; while the literary societies, debating teams, and college publications give ample evidence of the ability of the class in things literary. A gratifying number of men each year have made the coveted honor roll ; while those of us who have not, believe that we have gained some- thing worth while in the satisfaction of knowing that we have, at least, aimed high. And we compliment ourselves that our efforts are now crowned with a diploma from Davidson College — indisputable proof that we are mentally qualified to face the world. Now let us mention one other phase of college life in which the Class of ' 21 has established its pre-eminence. This is for spiritual and moral leadership ; we have saved it for the last because we consider it the best. For generations the Davidson campus has been conspicuous for the fine spirit that pervades it, and our class sincerely hopes that it has done much to keep alive and increase this spirit. And as we leave Davidson, we can depart with the assurance that our class life has been a benefit, not a detriment, to good college morals. We have tried to foster brotherliness and mutual respect among our fellows — things that are both elements of the traditional Davidson Spirit. We have tried to cherish that spirit of reverenre for sacred things that has ever been the basis of Davidson ' s enviable reputation. For our efforts in this, we are not proud, but thankful. Not one of us but knows that he is carrying away with him more of it than he brought. Notwithstanding all these things, do not suppose that the Class of ' 21 is without her faults. We have purposely omitted them; for it is a sad fact that the evils men do need no history. Hut the evils of our class, we modestly admit. are a very negligible quantity in comparison with the multitude of its excellencies. And though we have no exalted opinion of our ability to conquer the world. ' yet we do firmly believe that we can make it feel our influence, if each man will continue to hold dear the ideals of the Class of ' 21 — the ideals instilled in him by the priceless teachings of his Alma Mater. 61 IPS East tll anb ftegtament of tfje Clastf of ' 21 5_v Ernest A. Beaty ; the Name of God. .linen. The illustrious Class of ' 21 realizes that its official collegiate life is speedily approaching that state in which it shall cease to exist as such. The class is also cognizant of the fact that certain talents and eccentricities have characterized certain members of its organization from time immemorial ; and that these talents and eccentricities have made the entire body collegiate justly distinguished. The class earnestly desires these qualities to be transmitted to posterity ; and to remain forever as permanent, distinctive traits of Davidson. All these individual gifts and idiosyncrasies having been placed at the disposal of the class as an organized body, the afore-mentioned class, legally constituted and popularly known as The Class of ' 21 of Davidson College, does publish and declare this to be its last will and testament. This is done in a spirit of true benevolence, trusting that the legatees may duly appreciate the inestimable value of any bequest made by such a renowned body of men ; and that the said legatees may assign to these bequests a sentimental value far in excess of their intrinsic worth. Then, with the volun- tary full consent of the owners, it is the will of this class that the items hereinafter listed be apportioned, distributed and administered as follows, to-wit : Since to him that hath shall be given, Charlie McCaskill ' s handsome form and ruddy complexion is left to Corp. Hughes. Ali Baba ' s perfect mastery of the English language is willed to his little cousin, Kedive Yonan. The military genius of Major Rogers is donated to that other militaristic fanatic, Bob McCuen. Willie P. (?) Nesbitt particularly requests that the class bequeath his rural stride to the urbane Oolie Massey. Acting on its sense of the fitness of things, Jo-Jo ' s position as cheer-leader is awarded to Fresh Walthal. Jitney Sizer ' s frequent nocturnal rambles to parts unknown are regretfully willed to Fresh Funderburke. The immaculate personal appearance of Osmond J., including all his stock of snake oil, is granted to the Most High Master of the Dance, Leighton T. Horton. It is perfectly appropriate that Freddie Thompson ' s wonderfully melodiou s voice descend to Jenny Wrenn. Sleepy Long is declared heir in full to all the pleasure Roxy Shaw derived from his eternal state of indolence. Dave Roberts grants the use of his piety in a final effort to obtain Bob McCleod an entrance into the Celestial Regions ; though no results are anticipated. 62 The Class of ' 21 wills The Macamac Company to any person or persons sufficiently unscrupulous to receive it. Thou shalt not steal. ' ' Pee-Wee Ratchford ' s cigarette ducks are henceforth and forever, the property of Nimrod, the duck-shooter, alias the mahogany-headed Sunshine Red McCrarey. Sam Storey is given the linguistic ableness formerly used to such advantage by his crony, King Brady. The Class, with infinite sympathy for the boarding-house ladies, does will Fricker ' s dainty appetite to the delicate William Carr. A. King wishes to grant full possession of every Field, Lake and Poole in his domains to whatever Hunters, Fishers and Farmers may migrate to these parts in future years. Joe Walker ' s ever-ready memory is gladly given to Horace Williamson — lest he forget. Possum Dunlap ' s wit, as displayed in the Peanut Parcher, is willingly returned to Jew ' s Mose, the one original perpetrator of that atrocity. Bill Hodges is, by a unanimous vote, entitled to receive all Jim Boulware ' s Righteous Indignation, ' whatever is meant by that rather indefinite term. Fresh Henderson, the elegant, gets Jake Taylor ' s ability to masticate the weed, with all the juicy vehemence which attended Jake in that pleasant avocation. Dubs Roddey ' s broken heart is donated to the next girl who can remedy its dilapidated condition. Jap Cumming ' s capacity for successfully rolling the bones might well go to Gamble. Using its authority as Director of Social Clubs, the Class of ' 21 appoints Bugs Robinson president of the Hebrew Club for next year; while Lynn Arm- strong is to hold the same office in The Knockers and Kickers Club. Finally, this class wills all its numerous virtues, together with all the honor following from them, to the rising Senior Class, to be enjoyed by them and their heirs forever. May they ever emulate its virtues, and diligently eschew its vices, if there are any. May they transmit less of evil and more of good to each suc- ceeding class, ad infinitum. In the interest of justice in the matter of the final settlement of this estate, the class appoints the rising Junior Class as the executor of this last will and testament, granting, in remuneration for its trouble, the deathless gratitude of this immortal spirit thing, the Class of ' 21. Given under our hand and seal, this tenth day of the month of May, the fourth year of collegiate life, and the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-one. Witnesses: C. M.

Cunningham 1 ice-President J. S. Curry Secretary-Treasurer R. Bitzer Historian D. h. Mahood Poet 84 Junior Class tetorp By R. Bitzer Nineteen hundred and eighteen ! What memories this date holds for the men of ' 22 ! The year of training camps, the munition works, the shipyards, the can- tonments, and the navy yards ; the year of America ' s supreme effort. Even the sombre halls of learning reverberated with the tread of marching feet. Text- books were thrown away and degrees abandoned as mighty university and lowly church school alike bent to the task of arming America in her hour of need. To such a college then, and at such a time, came the Class of ' 22. All who were old enough enrolled themselves in the S. A. T. C. Others less fortunate, but still clamoring for military training, joined the Boy Scouts. ' ' taking the regular S. A. T. C. course in addition to their college tickets. Immediately ' 22 began to distinguish herself. It was soon discovered that many of the corporals and sergeants, including three out of four of the first sergeants were new men. Further, practically all the leaders in the water bucket ( fire ? ) brigade and best of all, both the buglers, were men of this enterprising class, ' 22, made such a very good impression, indeed, that when the war was over and the corps were disbanded it was the stalwart boys of D Company who were selected to form the vanguard and hold the post for some ten days after the other companies had departed. The following spring- the class reassembled and at once threw itself whole- heartedly into the task of rebuilding the great college on a peace foundation. We were the first to raise our voices against that greatest of all stains on the fair name of the college — hazing. Indeed, many of the more robust of our number felt so strongly on the matter that they undertook to restrain even those numbers of the upper classes who wished to indulge in the practice. In other activities also, our class has taken the lead. Under the stimulus of the large increase in the number of reporters, the Davidsonian has almost tripled its size. A Reporter ' s Club has been established, consisting almost entirely of ' 22 men. A photographic department, a much needed improvement, has been added to the Davidsonian almost entirely due to the inspiration and perseverance of a man of our class. In athletics, our class has already won seven D ' s ' in football, with other letters in proportion. The basket-ball trophy has been won by our class for the past two years. Again, two new sports, tennis and golf, have been added to the list, largely through the efforts of men of our class. We have also won our literary honors. Three debate and two declamation medals stand to our credit and we have already placed one man on the first inter- collegiate debating team. And time would fail me to tell of our achivements in work for the magazine, the annual, to glee club, the band, and the other organiza- tions. Suffice it to say that no parade can form, no vigilance committee can act. and no bolshevist movement can rise, but ' 22 is there in the head. Such, then, is the story of the class. Three full years of pleasure and gain. Three reckless, care-free years, filled with work and play, disappointments and delights, successes, aye, and some failures. May we live true, in our one remaining year of leadership, to all that glorious heritage of sacred traditions which forms the most cherished possession of every true son of Davidson, and may we leave to our successors an institution yet grander and a name yet nobler than that which, we have known. 85 QA) IPS Campugologp i There are some folks who can define The smallest wrinkle in your mind, Can tell you ' bout the folks on Mars, And all the mystery of the stars.

Cooper Class Historian 92 ikipfjomore Claste Ht torp By W. J. Cooper The Class of ' 23 — yes, we are not afraid to say it now and we never were ashamed — of Davidson College. We are proud to be able to say it. Davidson has come to mean something definite to its, for in our two year ' s stay here we have learned to respect old Davidson and appreciate her ideals. We have done our bit, since we have been here, to maintain Davidson in all of her proud honor and it is our prayer that we may never besmirch her fair name, but may, as the years roll on, under-graduate and graduate, honor her in all things. It is not gentlemanly to praise one ' s self ; it is childish to prophesy. Yet, perforce, there is no way ' round it and we must praise ourselves and prophesy a bit. It is to the everlasting glory of ' 23 that she has done well in all departments of college life. Our achievements, if not many, are varied; they bespeak an inherent soundness, a broad preparation and a tenacity of purpose. Perhaps ' twere best first to recount ' 23 ' s achievements in athletics. Not necessarily are achievements in athletics to be considered the more worthy of recount — a beginning has to be made and athletics begins with an A. ' 23 played the game ' of football ; two of us made the team, were full-fledged Davidson Wild- cats, and many more were kittens, even of all degrees. Sad as ' tis to chronicle, no son of ' 23 was deemed worthy of the basket-ball varsity, but we surely did compose the scrubs (the tale will be different next year.) Practically all of us went out ' ' for baseball ; quite a few of us stuck through the season ; five made the varsity — boy, howdy! ' 23 couldn ' t run but she surely could jump, both of our track letters went to the skyscrappers. Nine letter men in the freshman year is no bad record, we are proud of those nine men ; and not a whit less are we proud of those (numberless) who toiled in the scrub lineups. ' ' Now it must not be assumed that ' 23 out-did our fathers of ' 69 in scholar- ship, or even came in smelling distance of doing it, but we did put up a creditable show. Three or our number made the Honor Roll — our hats are off to them. The rest of us worked hard at The Davidsonian, liked it and decided to help the lusty infant along. According to the Staff we did our work well and they recommended seven of us for the Reporter ' s Club of The Davidsonian. A few — a verv few- - of us even aspired to the pages of the hoary Davidson College Magazine. A word about our college experiences. We ' ve been through a lot, there is no denying it. To begin, we were just as green as any other Freshman Class — von know the rest. Now all Fresh sit in chapel ' till the upper classes are out of the hall ; it was started on us. The discreet Fresh now wears a jaunty little Fresh cap at all times ; it was started on us. The hazing regulations are now enforced : it wasn ' t started on us. The whole student-body now pays for the varsity sweaters ; it wasn ' t started on us. To be sure we ' ve had our share of hard experi- ences. Whence according to Emerson, we will be of strong personality and bound- less tenacity ( ?). We have a broad and a strong foundation. On this foundation it is our task to build worthily, for the super-structure will obscure the foundation. The world will not judge us by our words in the world of college, but bv those of the world of life — by the measure of our service to mankind, if you please. 93 QU IPS opf)omore Claste $oem E. E.

We were able to recognize each other on the train by our excited manner, and the look of fear in our eyes. Upon our arrival we were met by the Y. M. C. A. reception committee at the station, who ushered us into the presence of the Treasurer and Business Manager, Mr. F. L. Jackson, who seemed to have no mercy on us when it came to relieving us of the filthy lucre. ' ' On Tuesday following the opening of the College we were given a reception by the Y. M. C. A., assisted by the ladies of the town. At this reception we were given plenty of dos and don ' ts, ' which proved very helpful to us. Dr. Moore McConnell also outlined clearly to us the meaning of Davidson Spirit about which we had heard so much. After this event we soon learned from our friends of the upper classes how to eat peanuts after the true Davidson fashion. We learned many other nice things from them, too — how to get to class just as our name was called, etc., etc., etc., ad infiu it u in. The Class of ' 24 is the largest in the history of the College, its total member- ship being 188. One of our number. Randolph Jones, succeeded in achieving the much coveted honor of making the honor roll. In athletics we have made a creditable showing. Two of our men, Spratt Moore and Faison, won places on the varsity football team, and were awarded letters for their good work. Several also made the scrub team. In basket-ball we made a fairly good showing, and we feel sure we will not fall down when it comes to baseball. Just before the close of the fall term a meeting of the class was called for the purpose of electing officers. Mason D. Field of Atlanta, Ga., was chosen as President : A. M. Hillhouse of Wainesboro, Ga., Vice-President ; George R. Dupuy of Red Springs, X. C, Secretary and Treasurer; Okey J. Al lison of Winston- Salem, N. C, as Historian, and D. IS. Walthal of Waynesboro, Ya., as Poet. Even at this early stage of our four years in college a marked change is noticeable. We seem to have caught a vision of the service which we can render to our country and State, as college men, and we have steadfastly set our hearts on having a part in the great work of saving mankind. 97 QA3 lPSi 98 QA) IPS $ restfjman Clas olI (Officers M.

Hengeveld D Coach H. M. Grev D ' Dutch, former popular Davidson athlete, has under his wing, the baseball and basket-ball charges. While a student here from ' 13 to ' 17. he was one of the shining lights in Wildcat Sport- dom, twirling on the nine for three years and serving on the quint for four years. His return to his Alma Mater, is heralded with regular Davidson spirit for it means a continuation of the sportsmanlike coaching which Red and Black teams have always experienced. The men under Dutch ' ' look up to his superior coaching tactics, and what he says goes, not because it is said in a commanding tone, but because his every deter- mined statement carries with it that phase of his clean-cut, straight-forward and pleasing person- ality. Notwithstanding all his urgent duties. Dutch took time to join the Benedicts, and we would not close without giving this couple our best regards for a happy future on life ' s matri- monial sea. Coach Wooly, also formerly one of Davidson ' s big- gest assets in athletics, was also obtained for a Wildcat coach. During his stay in college here, some five years ago, Wooly carved his name in the annals of Davidson football history as being one of the greatest gridiron warriors who ever wore the Red and Black. He was picked for All-Southern in ' 17. Besides his football record, Hugh also set the record in the shot-put and the discus. Taking the material well in hand and developing it into a well working machine, Coach put out a team worthy of the name Wildcats. The team worked for him to the last ditch and never knew the word defeat until the final whistle had blown. He directs his men with a cool head, and uses uncanny judgment in his selection of plays. Wooly also took unto him- self a better half, and in these few words we wish to extend to them our affection, and wel- come them into our midst.

Joe planned a dandy schedule and gave the team some fine trips. He also killed two birds with one stone, in that he so arranged things, that the student-body could see the games. Mis Ponzi Financing. ' ' put the athletic association several scheckels ahead to sav the least. L. O. Hammett D Left Tackle. Weight 185. Height 6 ft.. 1 in. This tenth of a ton consisting of meat, bones, brawn and the spectacular football ability, led the Wildcat eleven this year. Hammett played the game for everything that was in it and it was a rare treat to see him go after the opposing team as he did. Hammett ' s headgear is off — watch out! And this party Hammett was clown under every kick, and every time he hit a man he knocked ten yards off of a Carolina gain. — Winston-Salem Journal. B. W. Romefei.t D Right Guard. Weight 165. Height 5 ft., 9 in. At guard Romeo puts up a steady, consistent and reliable game. His super strength, although not heavily built, made him a terrific charger, and when he hit, something had to give way. He was elected captain of the 1921-22 eleven, but had to decline because of the uncertainty of return. Romcfelt broke through the Citadel line, pinning Jarvis for a ten-vard loss. ' — Charlotte Observer, 117 D. P. Douglas D Right End. Weight 165. Height 5 ft., 9 in. Pitts played end this year like a streak of lightning. Defensive and offen- sively, he played a spectacular game and was especially adapted in picking forward passes out of the air. His resulting long runs featured his work. His fifty-five-yard run was the niftiest of the game and brought the crowd to its feet. — Charlotte Observer. S. M. Brady D Center. Height 170. Height 5 ft., 8 in. Sam is one of the few men who played football for the fun of it. At the same time there never lived a Wildcat warrior who played more consistent than Sam has done during the past three years. A quick and accurate passer makes him a super valuable aid in the offensive. Brady stopped anything that looked like an advance th -Richmond Times-Dispatch. nigh the center of the line. ' S. M. Davis D Right Tackle. Weight 170. Height 5 ft., 10 in. This heavy accumulation of avoirdupois does not play a striking spectacular game, but he does excel in the safe, consistent and reliable defensive game. Sam is a tower of strength and as a result of his careful timing of plays, very few yards are gained through his position by the opposing backfield. In the line, Davis featured, putting up a gilt-edge performance. — Charlotte News, 118 QA) IPS D. R. LaFar D Left Guard. Weight 170. Height 5 ft., 9 in. Doc, ' ' the baby giant, is a bulwark of strength on his side of the line. It is next to impossible to run anything over him and he is a stone wall on the defense. After Romefelt ' s resignation, the team chose LaFar to lead next year ' s Wildcat eleven. South Carolina fumbled on a cross-buck, and LaFar picked the ball up, going eight yards before being stopped. — Charlotte Observer. Johx Schexck D Left End. Weight 155. Height 5 ft., 8 in. Jonnie, a protege from Clemson, came to us this year and won for himself a berth on the team at end. He plays a steady game and his hands are a regular trap for forward passes. He is fast and has remarkable ability in covering down on punts. Schenck came down under punts in lightning like style. — Charlotte News. J. M. McFaden D Quarter Back. Weight 150. Height 5 ft., 8 in. Rooster is one of the lightest and at the same time one of the most aggres- sive backs who ever wore a Wildcat uniform. His unusual change of pace and peculiar build makes him a terror when he gets into a broken field. He was injured early in the season, sufifering a bad ankle. Two touchdowns against S. C. resulted directlv from the bullet-like forward passes of McFaden. — Charlotte Observer. lio 0,0 I P s F. M. CassELL D Half Back. Weight 150. Height 5 ft., 7 in. One of the scrappiest men on the gridiron. Frog is always fighting with that never-say-die spirit and lie bitterly contests every inch. Loose him in a broken field and soon he will have the whole works trailing him. A bad knee kept him out of many games this year. Cassell moved in bewildering fashion with the Gamecocks pecking at his heels without avail. — Charlotte Observer. W. S. Shepherd D Full Back. Weight 150. Height 5 ft., 10 in. Gig plays one of these steady driving games which is one sure way of advancing. He uses a wicked twist in going through the line and just seems to drop would-be tackles in his wake. His biggest play of the season was the skirt around left end for a touchdown and victory against N. C. Shepherd came running like a deer around Carolina ' s right end, side stepped the next tackier, and dashed behind Carolina ' s goal for the touchdown. — Twin City Sentinel. N. W. SiiErARn D Half Back. Weight 155. Height 5 ft, 9 in. Shep was a mainstay in the back-field this year. Quick as a deer to get off and an artist with the stiff arm and side step made him a terror to stop. Although participating in only five games, due to ineligibility under S. I. A. A. rulings, he scored three of the five touchdowns scored by the Wildcats in those games. The offensive drive of Davidson centered around Shepard, the speedy back who skirted the Wake Forest ends, ripped the line and ran through an open held at will. — C har- lottc Observer. 120 QA) iPSga Orix Poe D Full Back. Weight 145. Height 5 ft.. 10 in. One of the hardest driving hacks that ever wore the Red and Black. Poe has a drive which is graceful and yet one which carries punch galore along with it. He is a speed demon and a hard one to tackle, as well as one of the cleanest grid- iron warriors in this section. P. O. Petiiea D Half Back. Weight 155. Height 5 ft.. 9 in. P. O. put up a splendid game this year. Although suffering a bad shoulder during mid-season he came back for the filial game against Furman and led the Wildcat attack. He is an easy but fast runner, and a hard man to stop. Bethea played a masterful game and was responsible for most of the Presbyterians ' gains. — Greenville Piedmont. J. S. -Moore D Quarter Back. Weight 126. Height 5 ft., 8 in. Spratt, ' ' the midget Wildcat, is the lighest man to play on a Davidson eleven for years. His exceptional light weight and fleetness of foot made him the most spectacular broken field runner on the team. He sidesteps, dodges and dives with equal accuracy. He is the midget of the Wildcat teams, but showed himself to be a good general, a fast man and one able to take punishment. — Charlotte News. C. S. Faison D End. Weight 160. Height 5 ft.. 10 in. Here is another Freshman who proved his caliber as a flashy end this year. His uncanny tackling made him a most valuable man on the defense. In this same department, his getting down under punts is a continual source of worry to the opposition. 121 Jf ootball Cfjronicle Once again, in the annals of Davidson football history, goes down the fact that the old Alma Mater has a team worthy of the name Wildcats. The team had a most successful season, and although playing under adverse conditions at times, it reflected much honor on the fair name which Davidson holds among gridiron circles in Dixie. The proud ship flying the Red and Black flag was second to only one in the race for State championship honors. Although crippled in every game by either one or both of two reasons, the team put up a game and clean fight. In four of the games which were played under S. I. A. A. rulings, the team was minus the service of four regulars. Also at all points of the season, two or more varsity performers were out on account of injuries. Notwithstanding this disadvantage, the men fought to the final whistle, and when the curtain was lowered on the recent scene, it found Davidson with five victories and five defeates. The schedule called for the three hardest games to be played first. The team ushered in the season by journeying over to Raleigh where they encountered Coach Fetzers proteges from N. C. State. The Engineers took this game by a 23 to count. The following week found the Red and Black ship moving north into Virginia. where Washington and Lee was met. The Generals, unable to gain consistently for a score, but relying on Silverstein ' s toe, scored two field goals and got away with a 6 to victory. Then came the climax, carrying a badly crippled team to Atlanta, Coach Grey had to send in over half the scrubs against Georgia Tech. The Golden Tornado swept aside all opposition and carried off a 66 to victory. At this point the losing streak stopped. Badly battered, but full of fight, the whole Wildcat fleet invaded Charlotte, tore Wake Forest ' s ship from her moorings and sailed with a coveted 27 to 7 victory tucked safely away in the treasure box. For the second time the big crimson and ebony animal moved into Virginia, this time on an eastern invasion. The Spider from the University of Richmond was crushed by a gentle sweep of the Wildcat paw, and the second victory was won by a score of 7 to 0. Out for bigger game yet, the Bull Dogs from Citadel were taken on the following week in Charlotte. Running absolutely wild, our undomestic animal scratched the enemy in the face, tearing him up badly, and romped off with a 27 to 13 victory. The Gamecock from the University of South Carolina invaded our den next. The bird from the Palmetto State proved to be game alright but was no fighting match for the Wildcat, and as a consequence lost all his feathers by the tune of 27 to 0. 122 Q U I P S Then came the memorable test in Winston with the University of Xorth Carolina. The battle waged long and furious, both teams putting up a gilt-edge performance with little advantage on either side. The Tar Heel endurance broke down in the last two minutes and with the needed punch the ' Wildcats drove the ball over, winning the game by a scant touchdown. The next two games were played under S. I. A. A. rulings which disqualified four regulars and as a consequence were both dropped by 7 to scores. Presby- terian College of South Carolina, by use of a well prepared end run offensive, set the Red and Black down with a lone touchdown. In the closing game of the season in Greenville, S. C, on Thanksgiving, with Furman, the Hornets, opening up with their heaviest artillery, wore the Wildcat machine down, and won by a 7 to score. Thus ends the 1920 Davidson gridiron season, a season which has brought much honor to the College, due to the untiring efforts of Coach Grey, the scrap- ping fight put up by the team; and the wholesome support lended by the student- body.

He was honored by his team- mates, being elected captain-elect of the 1921 team. Here ' s wishing him the best of luck. V. D. Johnson D Catcher This human chatter box of the diamond has caught for two years on the Wildcat team. This year he was handicapped on account of injuries and did not participate in many games. Cop ' s accurate peg defies any base runner and few of them steal off him. C. R. Crawford D Right Field This Palmetto State individual, coming to us unkown, broke into the lime- light by landing a berth in the out-field. Pat had a wonderful year, leading the fielding with a perfect average, and batting second on the team. He has three more years to swing a Wildcat bludgeon. 128 Q,U IPS S. M. Wrenn D Catcher A heady back-stop could be used to express the quality of Wrenn ' s work behind the bat. He works his pitcher with uncanny skill and on the defense his perfect snap-peg nails base-runners a mile. This is his first year with us and great things are being looked to from him. N. W. ShEPARD D Pitcher and Outfield Undoubtedly the find ' of the season, Shep proved to be a mainstay on the nine. He was used alternately in the box and in the outfield. His hits include four doubles, and on the bases he was a streak of fire. He leads the team in scoring, with thirteen tallies to his credit. With better support next year Shep will enjoy a banner season. F. M. Cassei.i. D Short Stop Frog, the midget Freshman, put up a dandy exhibition of the national past- time at short-stop, but was laid up when the season was half over, with the mumps. He capers around in his territory and never seems to lose interest, and win or lose, Frog always has a word of encouragement to put in to the hurler. II. R. Ihi-i-sTETLER D Short Stop I luff another promising Freshman, filled Cassell ' s place at short when the latter was forced out play. The lad played a good game and handled himself in good style. With another year of experience he will prove to be a valuable asset. 129 0,0 IPS§% CRANKS MMIIfl 1920 passetmll Cfjrontcie The Wildcat nine played a consistent game throughout the year and when the final reckoning was figured, it was discovered that although she had eight wins and eight losses ; seventy-four tallies had been shoved across the rubber against forty-six for her opponents. When the first call for practice was sounded seven veterans reported. With this as a nucleus, Coach Hengeveld built a hard fighting machine. Several finds were made in the Freshman Class and by the time of the first game the team was well whipped into shape. The season opened with two games against Oak Ridge. The collegians got off to a flying start, winning the initial game from the Woodmen ' ' by a 12 to 5 score, and the second contest by a 5 to 4 score. Catawba was next whitewashed in an 8 to score. Journeying over to Greensboro, the Wildcats lost a hard fought extra inning game to the University of North Carolina by a score of 3 to 2. Coming back home, the Wildcats stopped Billy Laval ' s Purple Hurricane from Furman to the tune of 8 to 1. Then came three defeats in a row. X. C. State blanked the Presbyterians in a 2 to contest. Wake Forest proceeded to get away with 3 to 1 victory and X. C. State again romped off with a 4 to shutout. However, with her fighting spirit up, the Wildcats got on to Wake Forest and slammed out a 12 to 1 victory. Trinity won from the Red and Black by a 4 to 3 score in an extra inning game. Then came a double victory over Elon. The Christians went down by a 6 to 3 score in the first game. In the second contest Apple Plug Miley twirled a no-hit game and let Black and Gold down with a 3 to score. On the Southern trip, in the first game, Presbyterian College of South Caro- lina was trounced by a 11 to 2 score. Georgia Tech won two games in a row. The first was dropped by a 6 to 2 score and the second by a 5 to 1 count. Furman took sweet revenge and closed our season by winning in a 3 to 1 contest. 130 n - QA)  PSg% TJ HBr 4 - • ( r ■ ' ■■-.mi ' ■ .

The team had a heavy schedule, going up against the best teams in the Carolinas and Virginia, but made a creditable showing in every game and deserve the credit which is rightly theirs. The season opened with the Wildcats completely smothering the Guilford and N. C. State fives. The Quakers went down by a 51 to 14 count, completely outclassed by the all around playing of the Presbyterians. The quint from N. C. State fared hardly better and were taken into camp by a 45 to 13 count, the local lads caging the ball at will. Next came the disasterous Virginia trip on which three games were dropped in a row. The first night found our worthies defeated at the hands of the University by a 47 to 23 score, the largest total rolled up by any opposing team during the year. On the following night, the Elks Club quint of Lynchburg came out with the heavy end of the score by a 37 to 23 victory. In the final game of the trip, the Generals from Washington and Lee got away with a 31 to 28 victor}-, winning the game in the last minute after trailing the Wildcats during the entire game. Returning home for a couple games the team fared better and won two exciting games from Elon and University of Florida. The lads from Elon fought hard and to the bitter end, but were not quite equal to the task and w ?nt down before the Red and Black machine by a 38 to 25 score. The University of Florida game was probably the hardest fought game of the season and until the final i ve minutes of the contest, it was anybody ' s game. However, regaining her old stride the locals rallied, and brought home the bacon by a score of 45 to 26. Next followed the North Carolina trip, on which once more the old jynx appeared and the team lost three hard fought games. The first game against Elon was dropped by a 30 to 19 score, in which the Christians came hack strong and wiped out the defeat suffered the week before on the local floor. Losing the most exciting game of the season on the following night, the Wildcats were barely beat at the hands of N. C. State by a 29 to 28 count. A goal from the extreme side-line in the last ten seconds of play beat the Presbyterians. In the final game of the trip, the Rah-Rah lads from the L ' niversity took a snappy contest by the score of 37 to 20. After a weeks rest, the Charlotte V quint was again taken on. This time to Wildcats took sweet revenge and smothered the Queen City lads by the tune of a 55 to 11 victory. Journeying over to Guilford, the team dropped another close game, this time losing by 27 to 25 count. The team fought hard but could not shake off the Hoo-Doo and the Quakers won in the last few seconds by a postponed rally. On the following night in Charlotte, the Wofford team from the Palmetto State were taken into camp by the close score of 35 to 34. The lads from the Old South State fought hard and put up a stiff resistance threatening to win in the last minutes of play but a rally on Davidson ' s part staved off defeat. The quint wound up the season in a blaze of glory, downing the Winston Y aggregation by a 34 to 25 score. The team from the Twin City fought hard and threatened to overhaul the locals time and again by successful long shots, but the Wildcat machine was capable to the occasion, and finished the season with a win. Besides the successful varsity season, the scrubs, better known as the Wildkittens, were ably rewarded for their constant and faithful work by turning out a team which won the three games played by it. The Winston High lads were taken in camp by a 46 to 15 score. The next game found them on the heavy end of a 65 to 20 victory over Mooresville High. In the last game of the season they journeyed up to Winston and again took the measure of the High ' s by a 41 to 24 count. Their squad composed of McConnell, McDonald, Ormond, A. C, King, Mauze, DeArmon and Brake. 133 QA) IPSM G. E. Mi ley D ' Manager This auburn-lieaded lad had charge of the finances and schedule this year and much credit is due him for the capable way in which he handled the season. The three trips were indeed a pleasant reward to the men who won the honor and they called for the meeting of the best teams in Virginia and North Carolina. His arrangement which called for nine games on the Hill ' gave the students a fine chance to back the team which otherwise would have been impossible. L. B. Schenck D Captain and Guard. Height 5 ft., 9 in. Weight 145. Rounding out his third year of service on Wildcat teams. Lewis had the most successful year of all this season. His air-tight guarding was the feature of this year ' s defense and very seldom it was that his forward had half a chance to figure in the scoring. As a captain, he proved to have the confidence of his men, and he used discreet judgment in the handling of the five. W. W. Roberts ' •D ' Forward. Height 5 ft., 11 in. Weight 175. As a mainstay on the offensive, Bill was a great asset to the team. He went far better this year than ever before and seemed to drop them in from any angle at any time. He wound the season up with a total of 241 counters chalked up beside his name. His ability to work up under the basket was remarkable and seldom did he fail to register when he had half a chance. QA)  PS§4 s J. R. SchEnck D Forward. Height 5 ft., 8 in. Weight 155. One of the fastest and most agile men who ever wore a uniform, John proved to be most valuable as a floor man, and his skill in advancing the ball up the floor was incredible. Quick as a flash to get off and a profitable dodger made him a terror in the sight of the opponent. Besides these accomplishments, he is no mean shooter and rolled up 104 points during the season. B. W. Romefei.t D Center. Height 5 ft., 10 in. Weight 170. Birche ' played a consistent game this year throughout and was a great asset on the defensive as well as on the offensive. He made a good center and put out a scrapping game. On the Virginia trip he received an injury which caused him to retire for the rest of the season, and his loss was severely felt as Romeo was one of the most driving players on the quint. C. R. Crawford D Guard. Height 5 ft., 8 in. Weight 145. This husky, better known as Pat, put up a remarkable game this year both on the defensive and offensive. His ability to get up the floor for an open shot was indeed spectacular and his keen eye rarely failed on him. Craw has two more years on the team and will no doubt be one of the best players ever turned out at Davidson. C. M. Davis D Center and Guard. Height 5 ft.. 11 in. Weight 140. Xappy, ' ' the only Freshman to make his letter in basket-ball for years, put up a snappy article of the indoor sport. He was a fast and aggressive floor man and added to the offensive materially. He plays with the best form seem in these parts in a good while and with three years in front of him should develop into a wonder. 135 Q,u iPSg% Class Pasket=PaU The interclass basket-ball series this year furnished an occasion for many thrills, and the winner of the series was in doubt until the last games. The Juniors repeated their stunt of last year, however, and came through the series without a defeat. This makes them the class champions for two years in succession. The Sophs ran a good second, losing to only the Junior five. The champions lined up as follows : Doubles, captain and forward ; Ormond, A. C, forward ; Cornelson, center ; Price, guard ; and Erwin. L., guard. Erwin, M., managed the team. Doubles played a consistent game and was the leading point scorer of the class series, running up a total of sixty-three points in the six games. His running mate, ( )rmond, also played a reliable game and was especially efficient in the floor aggressiveness. Cornelson at center was in the play contin- ually and proved to be especially strong on the defensive. Price was a mainstay on the defensive and rarely did the opposition get anything over on him. Erwin, L.. at the other guard position, was of great service as a running guard and con- tributed materially to the points scored. Erwin, M., arranged the team a good schedule and proved to be a capable and efficient manager. STAXDIXG OF TEAMS Won Lost Pet.

In the All-State meet the team gathered in four first places which netted the Wildcats third place. The opening of the season found only two letter men back, Murray and Brice. Working out in strenuous fashion, the cinder path artists, around these two, developed a fast and capable team. By the time of the opening meet, everything was in ship-shape condition. The X. C. State aggregation was the first team to be taken on. The meet was both ' contested and not until the last event was the winner to be determined. The Wildcats finally came across the tape a winner, with N. C. State trailing only eight points in the rear. The new material on the squad showed up to a big advantage and assured a successful season. The team next journeyed down to the Palmetto State and toed the mark against the University of South Carolina. Until the last four events the Wildcats seemed hopele ssly out of the race. By absolutely cornering the last four events, however, the Red and Black once more came out a winner, with South Carolina only three point in the rear. In the third meet, the Clemson Tigers invaded our den. Furnishings some spectacular thrills, the Engineers polled as many points as the Wildcats and until the last two event the result was in doubt. In these two events, however, the Presbyterians once more pulled the come-back stunt and nosed out a victory by the scant margin of five points. In the All-State meet our representatives secured four first places, but the lack of enough men on the team made our chances hopeless and the best that could be expected was the third place which we grabbed. With four men back, prospects for another banner year in 1921 are indeed bright. 138 QA) IPS§ Miss Catherine Armstrong, Track Sponsor 139 QA) iPSi H. P. Murray. Captain D 100, 220, 440, Broad Jump. Weight 135. Height 5 ft., 9 in. Hack is one of the best track men turned out at Davidson. His specialties are the 100, 220, 440-yard dashes and the running broad jump. His unusual stride makes him a terror on the paths and it is a real pleasure to see him let out, especially on the last yards of the 440. He donated most of the points won by the Wild- cats and as captain and coach of the team, he proved to be an able leader. All credit is due him for the success won by the team. L. W. Dick D Half Mile, Mile. Weight 240. Height 5 ft.. 7 in. L. W. is the long-winded artist, performing in the mile and half mile events. This is his first year on the team, but he has proven his worth and performed nobly in these distance events. He was elected captain of the 1921 team and great things are looked for under his regime. P. G. Sutton D Shot Put, Discus. Weight 185. Height 5 ft.. 11 in. Pig Iron is one of the mighties who flings the weights on the Wildcat aggregation. When this col- lection of avoirdupois winds up and lets the iron sail through the air it ' s time to move. He uses much form in tossing the Ferrum and it is quite a novelty to see him unwind and let aloose the weights which always take a skyward direction. This is his last year on the team. E. T. Grentkv D High Jump, Pole Vault, Broad Jump. Weight 165. Height 5 ft., 9 in. This lad broke into the limelight on Field Day, unknown as to his track abilities before. He is a spectacular high jumper, and you can never tell what to expect of him. He approaches the bar in the greatest unconcern and yet his leaps are timed to the fraction of a second. He is also a broad jumper, taking this in the same easy fashion. He has three more years to perform. QU IPS S. D. Brice D 100, 200, 440. Weight 150. Height 5 ft., 9 in. Sam makes an ideal running mate for Hack. He is also a short distance runner, especially adapted to the 440. In this event he broke the college record by lower- ing it two seconds. He is a graceful performer and it is a real treat to see him pace off the chalk lines. Brice lea ves this year, and will leave another big gap in the lines which will be hard to fill. C. L. Green D High Jump, Pole Vault. Weight 140. Height 5 ft., 10 in. Clif is one of our aerial artists. He vaults and jumps with equal ease and with the three years which are in front of him, he should do wonders in this depart- ment. His graceful leaps are not of the spectacular variety and it is a pleasure to watch him clear the bar as he does. It reminds one of the days when Jimmy McQueen was in his prime. A. F. Fricker D Half Mile. Mile. Weight 125. Height 5 ft., 10 in. Franklin is a distance runner. It takes a half mile to warm him up and then he settles down into his stride. It isn ' t so much a case of winning as it is the distance between him and the second man. Practice makes perfect and he surely deserves much credit for his determined efforts. He still has another year to perform. F. F. Streibich D Shot Put, Discus. Weight 180. Height 6 ft., 3 in. Highpocket came upon us in a rush, leisurely stroll- ing out one day and tossing the iron pill for thirty-nine feet, breaking the college record and winning for him- self a place on the team. He is powerfully built and his elongated body makes the tossing of the weights an easy matter for him. This is his last year on the team and his place will be hard to fill. Qi) PSg% CRANKS Uar ttp Semite The fall season tennis was very short, as bad weather set in before the racket wielders had a chance to progress very far. Early after the opening of college, however, the followers of Tilden and Brooks invaded the tennis courts and soon a tournament was in progress, the outcome of which would decide who should com- pose the Wildcat team. The results of the tournament found Cunningham, Brad- ley, Morris and Ormond representing the Red and Black Tennis Team. Cunningham plays a fast and alert game and is always in the right place to return his opponents ' drives. He serves a fast and elusive ball. Bradley is probably the best of the quartet. He plays a fast and accurate game and relies on his terrible smashing to win the advantage his way. Morris is of the slow, deliberate type and places his shots with uncanny accu- racy, causing his opponent to wear himself out reaching for the ball. Ormond, A. C, plays a steady game, seldom using anything of the spectacular to gain his point. He rather relies on his endurance to wear his opponent out, then he opens up with his terrific net play. The fall season composed of a trip through central Carolina, where the racketers from Elon, Trinity, and Wake Forest were encountered. At Elon the Wildcats played the Gold and Black off their feet, winning one set of singles, the doubles and on a fair road to victory in the other set of singles, when darkness halted the match. At Trinity the Red and Black again came out on the top side of the argument, winning one set of singles, one of doubles, but dropping the other set of singles. At Wake Forest, however, the Presbyterians met their match and bowed before the Baptists in one set of singles, the doubles and the other set of singles was called off on account of darkness. 142 IPS oii gtesoctatton Dr. H. B. Arblxkle President M. R. Doubles Manager Prof. W. W. Woods. Sec. and Treas. H. M. White Captain Xot very much headway was made in the fall season of golf, because of the inclement weather, which kept the followers of the gutta percha off the links. Only two matches were able to be scheduled, both of which were with the Salis- bury Country Club. The team journeyed up to meet the team from this club and met defeat in both the foursomes. This was the first official appearance of the team and it suffered considerably from stage fright. The tale was quite different. however, when the visitors came to Davidson. Out for revenge, the Wildcats won two foursomes and was all even in the other match. Those making the team in the fall were: II. M. White, J. II. Sample, A. F. Pricker. M. R. Doubles, C. R. Vance, C. L. Green. White is the best golfer seen in the student-body for some time, and plays a steady game throughout. His best shots are probably with the driver and the niblick. Sample is also a good handler of the clubs, and plays a reliable game at all times. His best shots are witli the mashie, an iron with which he is quite an artist. Fricker. the putting artist of the sextet, plays a good game and showed up well in the matches. Doubles is a new- hand at the game, but developed rapidly into a consistent player. He i- in new- hand at the game, but developed rapidly into a consistent player. Vance plays a steady game and is especially good with the mashie.

Through this co-ordination of the leaders of the college activities, the society strives to promote a better college spirit and a greater zeal in the upbuilding of the student life. 178 QJ3 iPSgft CRANKS 179 Ungma Upsrilon Founded 1906 Pluc Pencil Chapter Established 1914 FRATERS IN FACULTATE DR.

In the early years the vacation months were February and September, due doubtless to the fact that Davidson College opened it doors in March. A number of present day customs date from the early forties. Among them are the diploma and damage fees, the distinctions of literary merit, and the commencement orations by members of the Senior Class. The final Senior examinations were held then from four to six weeks before the end of the term in order to give Seniors time to prepare for the graduating exercises. JHBIMH8 ' ata !

It was these men who said it could be done and put out Davidson s first newspaper. There was a great deal of opposition to the movement by the supporters of the magazine and others, but these men were not to be hampered by opposition, but forged ahead and established an indispensable publication at Davidson. The growth of The Davidsonian has been phenomenal and critics have said that it is now the leading college weekly in the Carolinas and with the proper endowment we hope in the near future to see it the leader of the South. 192 Q.u ?sm s CRANKS 193 Q,0 IPS WLnbtv tfje Umbrella Wvtt i When the sun is high in the heavens, Who ' ll come and play with me Under the cool protecting arm Of the campus Umbrella tree?

A. at Ins institution replied, No, there isn t. But we hardly need one as there is a swimming pool in the gymnasium. According to his standard there is no Y at Davidson. However, from the time the new student gets off the train with his shiny suitcase until he bids his girl good-bye at Commencement, his life is in constant contact with an organization that we call the Y. M. C. A. The scope of its work is hard to define. From a movie show to a campaign for missions ; from a checker tournament to weekly Bible groups ; from a social function to Sunday school extension, the association finds itself compassed about with tasks of every description. No organization has striven for the best at Davidson without having behind it the inspiration, the encouragement, and the support of the Y. The object of the Young Men ' s Christian Association is simple to state, yet profound in its meaning. It strives to make Davidson men Christ-like men. Sincerity, joyousness, courage, love and service are the ideals that the association covets for every man on the campus. It desires that those who leave Davidson may carry with them a spirit that will cause men to take knowledge of them that they have been with Jesus. And to this end the Y. M. C. A. is constantly working. 200 JBabtbston bs. i anbolpbJUacon Jf inSt Debate The other dehate in which Davidson participated last spring was the first of a series of three with Randolph-Macon College of Ashland, Ya. On May 11, 1920, C. K. Brown and A. M. Mitchell journeyed to the Old Dominion, prepared to argue the affirmative of the question : Resolved, that the United States should adopt some form of compulsory universal military training. The debate took place before the students of Randolph-Macon, and they have acknowdedged with enthusiasm the unquestioned merits of our team. The decision was for the nega- tive by a margin of one vote, and this fact alone shows that our debaters argued strongly and well, and made their opponents hump ' themselves to gain the decision. As to the debaters, Brown was called silver-tongued ' ' by the debaters of Randolph-Macon, and that is sufficient evidence of his ability on the platform ; Mitchell ' s presence on the floor and his delivery recommend him to a place on any debating ' team. Babtbsfon b ffltmx g econb Debate During the year 1919-1920 Davidson met two other colleges in intercollegiate debate. Each of these contests was held on foreign soil, in fact, the battles were staged in the very camps of the enemy. The first of these was with Mercer University, at Macon, Ga., on the night of May 3, 1920. This was the second of a series of three debates between Davidson and Mercer, the first of which David- son won in Atlanta the preceding year. This time Mercer managed to even the score by defeating Davidson in a hotly contested argument on the subject : Resolved, that the United States should adopt some form of compulsory universal military training. Davidson, represented by A. P. Ormond and D. M. Chalmers, upheld the affirmative. Though arguing the unpopular side of a good question, we know that these modern Ciceros fought in true Wildcat form, and many times during the course of the debate made their opponents despair of victory. Ormond ' s reputation for logic and force is truly well known, and Chalmers superb ability will be keenly missed in future teams. 201 QA) IPS Cu.-$ljt. Utterarp H octette£ First Term J. C.

G. R. Quarles and L. W. Diggs came on the hill and were met by our debaters, C. K. Brown and J. H. McKeithan. The subject of this debate was, Resolved, that the Federal Government should for a period of twenty years prohibit the immigration of Japanese laborers to this country or any of its possessions, with Davidson upholding the affirmative. The judges were Col. A. H. Boyden of Salisbury, and Messrs. Walter Clark, J. L. Jones, F. M. Redd and L. B. Vreeland, of Charlotte. The time-keepers were Messrs. W. E. Leftwick of Randolph-AIacon and A. M. Mitchell of Davidson. The debate was opened by C K. in a masterful presentation. He reviewed the history of the question and gave four reasons why the Japanese should be kept out for twenty years : the difference of their moral, mental, and religious ideals from ours ; the fact that these ideals remain the same when they are in America ; and the fact that the instinct that guides us in our feeling toward the Japanese is inherent in our life and cannot be changed. He repeated each point as he finished his argument for it and then calling to mind the points previously made, added the last-named point to it. His arguments were clearly outlined and vigorously supported and his words well chosen and spoken with an evenness that was very pleasing, his speech being recognized as the most polished of the evening. McKeithan argued that America is willing to help the Japanese who are here now but that to avoid the destruction of the Caucasian race by intermarriage, on one hand, or a caste system that would destroy democracy on the other, it is necessary to shut out these foreigners. Mr. Quarles argued the acceptability of the Japanese, and presented counter proposals. Mr. Diggs argued that to close our doors as outlined would be unjust, unsound, un-American, and un-Christian. Of the speeches on rebuttal that of McKeithan stood out strongly. In a rapid- fire and sharply pointed, though courteous, way he met the arguments of the negative by other quotations from the very writers and speakers and authorities they had mentioned. Such a turning back of points against those who had made them was very effective and strengthened McKeithan ' s impression on his hearers, who felt that this rebuttal had much to do with the decision of the judges. As Professor Currie opened and announced the decisions of the judges one by one, the total for Davidson amounted to five, which left none for the visitors, which though the Davidson men were responsible for, no one of us could blame them. 205 Q,0 lPSg% K i— (y u i p s i % y c ANKs Miss Elizabeth MaTHESON, Student-Body Sponsor 207 Q,U IPSi rfB g tubent-Pot | Officers, 1920=21 A.

Not the coming of a second Mr. Raffles, but of the latest living example of what the Hunt- an-peck system will do for mortal man. Mr. Guyon Snake-oil Jones comes with a display and exhibition of world-marveling talent. Before he took this system, which incident- ally is taken by correspondence methods from the school established by that great philanthropist, Dr. Cop Johnson, as a part of his aid to the demented foundation, the com- ing conqueror was a speechless man. He, as a child and later as a mere youth, often shied when hoving into sight of one of those treacherous looking typewriters. However, after reaching the riper years of manhood and courtship, he acquired the wisdom of a true knowledge of Hunt-an-peck. After developing a snake-oil head of hair, a hirsute appendiment upon his upper lip and a fancy vest, as a natural result he fell into the clutches of a vindictive member of the other sex. Following a weak struggle, he suc- cumbed to her wiles and became the pos- sessor of an itching palm. Not for the filthy lucre but for a pen with which to transcribe odes to his ruthless conqueress. However, his thoughts ran so fast that his pen could not keep up with them and a day after he had started to write, he found himself five and a half weeks behind. Fie then immedi ately saw that such a condition could not endure. Thereupon, he remembered that in his younger years he had seen a typewriter and he instantly purchased unto himself thereone. But, alas ! Its workings were a mystery to his simple brain. He could not fathom the depths of its dithrythmical dith- ryambic ponderosites. But at this juncture a good angel came to his weather side and rescued him from the quagmire of his hare- brained despair. This good angel was none other than a copy of Snappy Stories, of which he is an incessant reader, which he had lately perused and among whose advertise- ments he had glimpsed that one of the Cop Johnson Foundation for the Demented. Among the conglomerate advantages (if this institution was offered instruction in the Hunt-an-peck system for the moderate sum of two dead cats (for the bug lab) and a live tennis ball (for the fresh and Jick Taylor . In due course, after studying eighteen and one-half minutes, that | r. helpless creature became this great figure in the world that you see today. He took up again bis odes to the fair and after a day of the use of this marvelous system, he had caught up with his meagre thoughts and was a month and a half ahead of them. The promoters of the Hunt- an-peck system have engaged him to make a tour of the moonshine district of the South and they hope to interest many coming mil- lionaires of this section of the country in their epoch making machine. As the first point on his itinerary, Mr. Jones will greet his audience in our city at the palatial club-house of the Printers ' Devils ' Club, of which body this publication is a member. Mr. Jones will give his exhibition of the great system for the benefit of his i Continued ■ page . i 269 WILDCAT WEAKLY DAVIDSON GETS NEW FACULTY After great consideration, we have selected a new faculty for Davidson.

And it came to pass in the second year, ye eleventh month and ye four and twentieth day of ye month, that ye warriors of our city did assay to go forth to do battle unto ye forces of ye ancient enemy, yclept Furman. 2. Now it came to pass that many did desire to see this battle, but had not ye ducats wherewith to travel to that far city, even unto ye city of Greenville. So, being wise, they forgot, and thought no more thereof. 3. Howbeit, three men did bind them- selves and did agree to go unto that city by stealth and by their cunningness, whereby they hoped to decieve man. 4. And their names were Aaron, his brother Moses, and Pat, ye son of Crawford. 5. But when ye naming fiery engine did arrive, then did Pat, ye son of Crawford, become changed in his mind and did retire him to his bed. 6. But Aaron did ascend unto ye cow catcher and did there hide him from ye eyes of mankind. 7. But Moses did fold himself and did conceal himself from ye eyes of ye conductor by retiring under ye seat. 8. In this manner did these foolish ones ride until ye pain and misery of their position was pitiful to behold. 9. But at ye city of Greenville, verily, verily, did they forget their sorrows, and did borrow ye filthy lucre, and did give them selves up to riotous living. 10. For they were, it is said by some, from ye borders of civilization, and knew not how to demean themselves, gazing up with open mouths at ye sights around them. 11. Now, of the former of these, called Aaron, in times past it was said of him, 12. That he was born simple and had a relapse. 13. And of his near kin, even of M scs. 14. That an ax would be driven against his neck, yet would it not bend, for the stiff- ness thereof. 15. So it came to pass that they did grab unto a train and did attempt to return again in this manner unto the country from whence they came. And, Moses by ye fortune of ye gods, yea, by ye stopping of ye wheel of chance, did succeed. 16. But as for Aaron, as ye train passed by a fence, a post of iron did hit him with exceeding force, for he did hang on ye side of ye car. 17.

D., 8 o ' clock p. m. — The curtain rises on the one and only Wildcat Minstrel revealing The Honorable Bobby Long in the Interlocutor ' s seat. On both his flanks were grouped many of the flower of Southern manhood, the emblematic color scheme being carried out by their rosy cheeks. In the most fitting place, at the feet of these noble gentlemen, were seated the gentlemen of color and Ponzi. The opening chorus was given by the Glee Club. They tried in vain to get together on the same tune but to no avail and after several attempts, turned the audience over to the mercy of the jokes of our eminent blacks, the first performer in this line being Mr. F. Noll Thompson. This shine instructed those present, or within a radius of several miles, in the art of Soupology as practiced at the Trough and other places of note, com- monly known as Hash Houses. Next the congregation was burdened with a solo so lew that they were greatly gratified at not being able to hear Mr. Law. Bad Bogart now tells us an awful joke on Rusty Alex- ander ' s experience in a rainstorm in connec- tion with a certain young lady (?). Mr. Matthews demonstrated to us the method by which he bought his Buick. There ' s a reason — HIS VOICE. Officer Johnson, that dusky young colored man, told how a bulldog nipped him and took the most responsible part of his breeches out. Tomp again ap- peared on the scene with an agonizing selec- tion of Blues about a certain young sweetie who was seated in the audience. Bob Mc- Leod goes into a reverie over his girl ' s beauti- ful teeth, both of said teeth being white. The so-called quartette, led by Mr. Hand Carr, attempted several selections, but their efforts proved a dismal failure because of the lack of a good Tenor. The first number to be enjoyed by the persecuted audience was the Banjo Novelties of Mr. Gibson. This was an extremely original and catchy number and one of the few features of the evening. Mr. Bogart, with his Oh, Susie, Behave, ended the first installment of the performance and the audience was relieved by the departure of the entire cast. While the stage was being reset, Dr. Doug- las called up all the men who had made let- ters in football this fall and presented them their certificates. Captain-elect Romefelt presented to Captain Hammett a gift from the members of his team and paid a glow- ing tribute to the man who had led the Wild- cats so ably. The first number of the second spasm was conducted by two blaring trombones and two cornets. Deacon Cunningham ' s String Octette gave the second enjoyable selection of the evening and was followed by the four sleepy- headed coons who, as the Jazz Dancers, afforded the third real amusement on the program. Not satisfied with the Trom- bonium, Mr. Freeman returned to scene of action and a second time made his cornet deafen the audience for a few minutes. Mr. Grand Opera White endeavored to allay the suffering of the audience by rendering his original ( ?) selections in Wop. Like most of the other performers of the evening, he mistook the applause (of politeness) for a sign of approval and was with us again for several minutes, during which time the audi- ( Continued on page g) 274 WILDCAT WEAKLY R.

THE FEATL ' RE OF THE EVENING BURST UPON US IN ALL HER GLORY. Madame X, Divinely tall and most divinely fair, un- bedecked in suitable costume, tripped out upon the stage and performed those wonder- ful oriental dances which held her audience spell-bound for many minutes. Thus end- eth the reading of the second lesson. The final number of the evening gave us an insight into the spirit realm in which Madame Jo-Jo told two scared negroes where they could find their lost money and also made some wonderful predictions as to the future activities of our Alma Mater. The entire troupe, as a finale, sang O Davidson, and as the curtain fell, the re- lieved audience filed out into dismal night. 275 QA) IPS 10 WILDCAT WEAKLY PHYCHOLOGICAL DREAM STUFF By Knight To dream of Carl J. Matthews that John D. Carnegie has taken you into partnership is a sure sign that the next doughnut you buy will have a large hole in the center. To dream that you are listening with rapt attention to Rolston Bitzer expounding on How to Become an Orator on Your Own Nerve is a sign that you will have to give a Declamation to the Literary Society next week. To dream that a large pink elephant is flying around, stopping ever and anon to perch on an imaginary bough in the air, cut a few handsprings, and then with a William Jenny Bryan expression of its elbow play on its trumpet Handel ' s Largo, is a certain indi- cation that there is a hole in your mosquito netting or two boys have your bed just ready- to dump. To dream for six consecutive nights that you have been living in luxury on the fat of the land, eating the most sumptious of viands and having your friends say after each meal, Who is that portly gentleman wad- dling out of the dining-room smoking a fifty- cent cigar? is generally a sign that you will have hash for supper Sunday night. To dream that you are making a tremen- dous sensation by appearing on the Chapel of a girls ' school and walking up the isle clad in a pajama suit and a walking cane and leading a pet ictharaus or dinosaur is an unfailable sign that you have been to see your best girl with a large hole in one of your socks.

GREAT ORGANIZATION BUDDING On last Saturday night a new organization was formed among those on the campus. The group of young men who have banded them- selves together had felt the need, yea, the urgent yearning for a band such as, after conquering great obstacles, they have now formed. The name of this club is the Whis- tle Breeches Club, a unique name in itself but one that speaks volumes to the wise. There has never been such a club here in tin history of the institution, but no doubt in the future, encouraged by the single hearted dar- ing of these pioneers of eccentric clubs, other unique organizations will appear in our midst. As the name is unique, so are the qualifica- tions. It was only at the risk of his life and It gives this paper great joy and jubilation to give the following details which no other paper has been able to obtain : ARTICLE I To become a member of Whistle Breeches Club, the aspirant for membership must pre- sent the following qualifications : 1. He must possess a pair of whistle breeches — more plebianly known as cordu- roys. 2. He must be a student in this year ' s class in Spanish or German. 3. He must cultivate a minute patch of whiskers on his upper lip, which adornment shall remain undyed. ARTICLE II The club shall build a club-house soon and meetings will be held at regular intervals at the aforesaid designation. The annual dues shall be paid in the coin of the realm and shall be paid quarterly. The correspondent was unable to obtain the names of the members of the club, but it is understood that all of them are influential (Continued on page 16) 280 i) IPS WILDCAT WEAKLY 15 DOUBLE BILL RENDERED When it was announced that Ralph Bing- ham would give us a night, we were all very expectant of the fun, but had no idea that it would be as much as it turned out. There is no need to dwell on the part of the pro- gram taken up by Bingham. We are not capable of such a treatise. What concerns us at this time is the other part of the pro- gram. After all the audience had been seated and were awaiting the opening of the foray, a commotion was heard in the posterior por- tion of the theatre. Every one looked that way and were not at all surprised to see Jazzy John Gaston parading down the aisle with two ladies (?) in tow. However, we noticed that said Beau Brummel had a growth on that part of his face just below the nose. After diagnosis of this part of the trio had been completed, our attention was drawn to the fairer sex accompanying him. The one on his south side was seen to be of prodigious size for one of her gender. She was gowned in a rather fawncy creation of blue and white checked gingham and wore a sombrero of shredded wheat, trimmed with morning glories. Her shoes were not of the latest vode kid variety, nor of a very dis- tinctive feminine dimension. After much de- bate as to her identity, it was noised around that she was Miss McAmac Mathews. The lady on his other extremity was fetchingly fitted, or rather poured, into a miscellaneous creation, the predominating colors of which were those of the rainbow. She wore a black net chapeau, through which was stunningly displayed her dainty profile by which we knew her to be none other than Miss Sally- Long. Gassy escorted the ladies to the front seat of the house, the most expensive seats by the way, and was given a royal welcome of hymn books. The trio later expressed their appreciation of our attentions bestowed most lavishly.

We also wonder who his stenog is and how much pewter she, he or it, gets for carrying on his extensive corre- spondence and lastly, we wonder what those sweet things that write to him would think if they knew most of his letters were carbon copies. If he only knew, we suppose some he gets are of the same variety. OH, CRUEL WORLD! It is rumored that we have in our midst a private detective in the person of the most handsome Mr. Frank Law, Esquire, of Rock Hill, S. C.

Let us hope that we may hear of these happy gentlemen making some wonderful scoops in the near future. In fact, they are already in on a little inside dope and are devoted students of How to Convince them we are Detectives, by Slouie, the sleuth. Percy Ormond reports a large time last summer in and around Brevard. To hear him run off at the mouth on the subject, one would think that that was about the smallest town he owns, not to speak of the fair dam- sels therein. He also says that he ' s going back to try out his hand again this summer. Look out girls, he ' s a dangerous man. Everyone has heard of a girl throwing a boy over so we won ' t dwell on that subject. But who has ever before heard the sad tale of our own esteemed Windy Aiken? We suppose it ' s up to us to spill the beans. On a bright October day last fall he was seen to -= fc- be a little ill at ease. It was finally ascer- tained that his girl has kicked him. Sad. sad news. However, on the next day when he had had ample time to forget it, he was seen to be still sadder than ever. From the inner- most regions of his being were heard to emi- ii.it. peculiar noises which were finally inter- preted into 283 Q,U IPS 18 WILDCAT WEAKLY Oh, woman, in our hours of ease Uncertain, coy and hard to please. After much diplomatic questioning on the part of his friends it was learned that he had received another kick, this time from Lady No. II. Girls, girls, how can you he so rough? Boys, if you want to learn how to be sure to get into a house where there is a white maid at the door, see our wonderful Willie Hodges. They say that he is on to the right way. Of course we can ' t tell his professional secrets, but it will suffice to say that it is customary to always mistake the maid for a member of the family and be sure to intro- duce yourself and shake hands. For par- ticulars, it will be best to see Bill as he knows the fine points and we don ' t. Our friend Manly Cranford is being worked to an unspeakable degree these days by the lady-friends of our fellow-students. Many small packages are being run through his hands and, by the way, delivered at this end. Pigs is Pigs, but there are packages and packages. A package from home is good. but one like I love your very McRae received is another proposition. Are it not so J. D.? Listen girls, did you hear the one on Maudy? No? Well, that ' s too bad. Here ' s the way the romance runs. Our young knight journeyed to Atlanta with the Wild- cats on October 9, to try to break up the Golden Tornado. It ' s true that it all turned out the other way, but there was at least one happy man with old D. C. While this young knight errant was galloping down the field at his usual swift gait, his (oh, we won ' t name her) was watching from the grand- stand. And after the game was over. The curtain falls on this act. Censored. The ways of the world are peculiar, yae, we should say in the extreme. We have many, many jelly-beans on this beautiful old campus of ourn and many of them are pass- ably good to gaze upon from the feminine viewpoint, we suppose. And, many, or rather a few, are gazed upon by some unsuspecting young girl. But the most handsome, mag- netic and attractive of all our student-body is one that seems to get the least attention of any. This is a tip to the wise girls and a tip to this variety is said to be sufficient. Keep your eyes open and your mouth closed and watch out for him. It is very simple for anyone from Davidson to say who he is but for the benefit of those who do not yet know him, we will divulge the secret. He is the estimable Mr. G. K. (Happy) McFarland. You ' re on now girls, so let ' s see who will be the lucky one. This is not properly society gossip, but as it involves one of our social shining lights, we believe that it will get by in this supple- ment. This stellar figure is the one and only Vilas David. It seems that friend Johnson, wishing to be of a great service to the old school has taken on the role of informant in the Senior English Class. He has given us many interesting facts but by far the most startling w ; as the first one he bestowed upon us. This was the disclosure that our old friend (we say old for he undoubtedly must have been) Emerson was a warm personal friend of Plutarch ; that he was such a warm 284 0.U I P s WILDCAT WEAKLY I ' ) friend that he even went as far as visiting said Plutarch in his Scotch home. Isn ' t it wonderful to have a man as well informed as Cop in our student-body. None other than our esteemed fellow-cit- izen. Artistic Haney, was the victim of a great tragedy not many moons ago. The tale runneth in this wise. Friend Haney was on the top row of the bleachers at a football game in Charlotte and did not seem to be giving much of his attention to the game in progress. After some investigation, it was found that his attention was riveted on the adjoining grandstand where five young ladies were seated. As often as one of the ladies in question would look around, the afore- mentioned youth would politely lift his hat and wink or otherwise try to engage her attention. After the game, some one was heard to call his name, but the speaker could not be found. A week later, Mr. Haney was seen to be knocking himself around in a most brutal fashion. Inquiry into the facts in the case brought to light the fact that the young ladies of the game were friends of his whom he had not recognized, and one of them be- came very much off Haney for his actions. Young man, we advise glasses next time. We all recall the pretty violinist of the St. Claire Four. Nor does any one doubt her beauty. In fact, it would not be healthy to do so in the presence of the editor of this organ, Mr. Bobby Long. You saw him try to steal that apple after the performance? That got him acquainted. But the worst has not come yet. She told him later in the evening (while in some dark place) that he would certainly make a nice daddy. Have we been deceived in Carl ? We can ' t say but ALL HAIL, DADDY! Among other great educationalists in our midst, a new and very great one has sprung up. With the aid and condolence of the Junior Spanish Class, our friend Right Pretty Alexander is now compounding his latest literary achievement, Dr. Alexander ' s Span- ish Grammar. From all indications it will lie a revelation on the language and a great sensation in the learned world. The literary societies have a great debate scheduled for a future date. The question is a grave one and is worthy of much con- sideration. Its topic is music, but a special kind of music. The argument is: Resolved, That Big Horn Booth ' s shoes make sweeter music when he enters English IV Class late every day, than A. Vain Gibson can ever make, even when playing his immortal ' My Country ' Tis of Thee ' on the cash register. Cicero G. — Look here, I ask you for the last time to pay me that five dollars you owe me. Cop J. — Fine, that ' s the last of that silly question. A flashily dressed young, man, Charlie Mc- Caskill by name, entered a large office and inquired of the busy boss. Have you any opening for a bright young man ? Yes, growled the boss, And shut it with- out slamming as you go out. Commencement Visitor — Let ' s cross the street.

Double Affair the Event of the Season Bevy of Beautiful Belles and Blushing Brides The night of October 21, 1920, was the occasion of a most attractive social event. A double wedding was enacted on the campus of our beloved Alma Mater. At 8 o ' clock sharp the bridal parties arrived in full glory. A. P.

Immediately after the medley by Hie orches- tra, a chorus of six ladies, the Misses Cutie McLeod, Ettie Nash, Polly Meng, Frankey Fricker, Tiney Hughes and Bonie Grantham sang the bridal chorus from a recent musical comedy, by Miss Japanese Cummins. The bridal parties then marched in. The four ushers, Hammett, Lionel Romefelt, Social Davis (sometimes called Sam) and Hand- some LaFar, marched down the aisle in a most stately manner to be followed by the sweet and cute little flower girls, Skeeta Meecham, Zebie Morris, Lalah Dick and Jos- sie Walker. Next in order were the grooms- men and bridesmaids. Mr. Jock Price was accompanied by the most beautiful Miss For- gey, becomingly gowned in a conglomeration of colors and effects. Mr. Bola Pascha Mc- Corkle marched with the redoubtable Miss Ossie Jones, also well groomed as usual, her hair having the most recent wrinkles in it; Mr. McKildin was attended by Miss Pinkie Simmons and the effect was startling; and last of these was Mr. Billy Hodgin with Miss Harrye Whitener. Up until this moment everything had gone well, but at this junc- ture, Miss Whitener became agitated from some unknown cause and came near gum- 286 CtU IPS WILDCAT WEAKLY 21 ming up the game by precipitating herself with much force on the floor. Those in at- tendance finally got her to her feet and all attention was turned to the brides advancing on both aisles at once. Down the right aisle came Miss Johnnie McRae, escorted by her stepfather. Mr. Highpockets Streibich. Miss McRae was gowned in a wonderful and origi- nal dress. From her head flowed an enor- mous veil of a superb quality of cheese cloth. She wore a gown of a very delicate weave of broadcloth in a beautiful shade o r pea green. The feet and ankles that occasionally peeped out from the folds of her skirt showed pink slippers and a handsome pair of orange hose. The other aisle was the route of Miss Tommie Bethea and her old and decrepid father, Mr. Po Bethea. This bride was dressed entirely in a delicate shade of brown cafeteria, with pumps of a deep crimson. The grooms, Messrs. Jazzy Wright and Jo-Jo Vance entered from the side, or rather back, door accompanied by the best man of each, Messrs. Beau Brummel Garrett and Stylish Poteat. Deacon Cunningham now took charge of the slaughter and swore the four principals into their respective offices, Miss McRae becoming Mrs. Wright and Miss Bethea, Mrs. Vance. The party then trailed out to the waiting ambulance, driven by the famous Mule Curry and saw the newly-weds embark therein and start on their honeymoon, a tour of Mecklenburg County, amid a shower of rice and R. O. T. C. boots. Due to the excitement of the wedding, the reporter had not yet noticed the decorations of the church and was forced to re-enter the edifice to find in what manner it had been messed up. Above the altar was an assembly of the most exquisite goldenrod in the form of a heart while all over the church were suspended streamers of luxuriant sweet pota- to vines. The flower girls had filled the aisles with a multitude of daffodil petals and the chorus was surrounded by clusters of trumpet plants. As a whole, the decorations were most fitting to their places. We take great pleasure in wishing the brides and their hus- bands the greatest of success in their venture and pledge to them the hope that they will never be forced to use the rolling pin and and that all their troubles may be little ones. Are you in trouble? Do you know how to get out of trouble? Can you get something for nothing? We have the bluff it takes to do it. See us and you ' ll never go to see another detective. We are the men you need in your business. MOSELEY LAW Private Detectives 287 22 WILDCAT WEAKLY SPLASH OF SOCIAL SEASON There was a wild crash of plowshares and the harsh rattle of a cracked cowbell smote the ears a mighty whack ; the saxophone moaned as if in anguish o ' er the last chord; the strident notes of a banjo struck the ceil- ing and rebounded with a fierce twanging ; the pianist standing on his left eyebrow, aim- lessly walked up and down the pianoforte on his fingers. Thus did Jo-Jo Jazzin ' Jelly-beans instigate a shoulder shaking episode in the gym. Pro- fane history was made and much church his- tory was undone between the hours of 11:30 p. m. and 5 .30 a. m. on that memorable never-to-be-forgotten September evening. The spacious Morrison Memorial Hall, ever the scene of many brilliant social functions, was never more bewitchingly bedecked with pro- fusion of pine needles and broom straw. While splashes of red paint, dazzling from the ceiling, gave a touch of realism to the whole. The beautiful concrete floor was pol- ished and repolished — and almost demolished — until it glistened in the pink of peerless perfection to entice the joyous crowd. The windows were opened and the lights passed out, leaving the hall lighted darkly. The many chaperones were conspicuous by their absence, they having been spirited away in the early evening by frequenting the punch bowl not wisely but too well. The first dance number rendered (or was it rended) by the orchestra was that well known tune, The Sad Lament of a Wood- Alcohol Drinker, whose bewitching strains left tears in many eyes and splinters in many throats. The first number served only to bring the dancers closer together, after which things began to straighten out. Throughout the evening many touching scenes were en- acted. Miss Diana Mahood, far famed as the shimmying satellite supreme, and clad in the virginal vestments of innocence, dancing with Mr. Worthless Roberts, also a noted dis- penser of the wicked wobbling, was repeat- edly warned to get off the dime. Miss Aleen Wilson, charmingly gowned in a pale pink thing a ' m ' a bob of mosquito netting, made a strikingly admirable picture as she moved to and fro among the lights while Miss Citronella Woolfolk, arrayed in all the pristine glory of the lilies of the field, was forced to retire earlier in the evening be- cause shimmying hurt her heart. Jeff ' ■£ Aflf if S %- Wife When, at 3 o ' clock, the incoming breeze wafted in the vociferous odor of canned corn, the merry dancers knew that this was near the end. On with the dance; let joy be unrefined, echoed through the hall. The tireless musicians renewed their capers and all pranced joyfully until the cock crew and lily-fingered dawn lightly touched the lips of the infant day. Wyrrian — You must sleep mighty good. Hamer — Why ? Wyman — Because you lie so easy ure Hugh, Mr. Undertaker. Meas- Ground Hog M. (leaving) — I am indebted to you for all I know, sir. Prof. — Don ' t mention such a trifle.

Mr. Robert L. McLeod has attained fame as a storehouse for mixture of Zip and the staff of life. At times, his soup sounds as if it tastes well also. We have been told that Mr. McLeod comes from a family of eaters but that at present his appetite is bad, due to a lack of the proper exercise. It is the hope of the land-lady that he will become para- lized. Mr. Dirty Wright, the Jelly-bean of the Trio, is an adept in the art of asking for things to be passed to him and then deposit- ing said food on the floor for future refer- ence. As a sausage mill, his molars can ' t be beaten. We suggest that Swift Company buy his remainders and convert his chewing machinery into a patented mill. It ' s their big chance. The Honorable Dwighty Moseley, although rather diminutive in size, is a man ' s man in a man ' s place when he is properly parked before a side of fat-back.

CONFESSIONS OF A WELSH RABBIT FIEND By Say All Bl-kgess Feeling an inward disturbance, I suddenly sat upright in bed. The sight that met my eyes froze my blood and paralyzed my every muscle with terror. Seated on the foot of my bed was an enormous green elephant. His eyes, yellowish-pink, glared at me in mock- ery while his white trunk writhed and coiled, ever coming closer to my throat. In a fren- zied endeavor to escape his clutches, I turned my head, only to discover two pale blue monkeys perched on either side of my bed. They were gibbering and chattering in my very ears. Their brilliant eyes seemed to be living coals of fire that scorched my flesh, while their blood-covered talons ever reached for my body. A cold clamming sweat began to ooze from the pores of my body. I felt sick, dizzy — hopelessly lost. Suddenly there was a rush of wings and an enormous black vulture swooped down on me. My paralyzed throat could utter no cry. I could feel the needle-like claws of the vulture sinking into my flesh and piercing my bones as if they were made of putty. Then I was borne up- ward by the powerful vulture. Higher and higher he carried me and farther and farther away. The cool air of the heights restored my senses to a degree, and looking down, I could see the jagged peaks of a mountain range far below. I began to struggle as my increasing strength returned and at last freed myself from the clutches of the terrible bird. But I soon realized the folly of my move. I was being dropped on the cruel rocks below. Faster I fell. It was only a matter of a few seconds before my life would be snuffed out and my mangled body would be picked by the birds of prey. THEN THE CRASH CAME. I HAD FALLEN OFF THE THIRD DECK! Snapping on the light at my reading desk, I placed my hand on the family dictionary and solemnly swore : Never again will I eat a Welsh rabbit for supper. 289 QA) IPS 24 WILDCAT WEAKLY Have you a good line?

Rote: DAVIDSON 7 CAROLINA FASHION NOTES Split trousers are to be a la mode this year according to Mr. Samuel Brady, who recently startled us, and others, by setting this style. Worn with turtle ' s egg green knit hose and a red flannel background, they prove very striking as well as pleasing. The craze for something new in shirts was answered by Mr. William (two bits) Worth, who has been appearing in our midst recently with soft toned shirts of about G flat. These striking creations are checked in patterns of various colors. The checks (which will not be cashed here) are to be absolutely square, about 3 4 by 1Y% and usually have round corners, although those with conical corners are permissible. The delicate subject of collars has been worked out by Messrs. Matthews and Cassel, well known authorities on the subject. The prevailing color is dark white with decora- tions in the form of green peacocks painted on the outside with red ink. The exact posi- tion has not yet been decided upon but it is thought that they will face northeast. An unofficial announcement says that they will also inaugurate the wearing of ankle watches again this year. Sport shirts are to be very popular this summer according to Fresh White, who has ere now appeared in a creation of very good taste. The main scheme of this covering seems to be short sleeves and a flowing col- lar, worn outside the coat. Perhaps the man to contribute mere than any one else to the newest thing in styles has been Major Military Rogers. Seeing that many of us had been retaining a sedentary position to the extent that trousers were becoming extremely thin, he opened negotia- tions with a well known concern and soon had in our midst some two hundred pairs of 291 IPS 26 WILDCAT WEAKLY straight-legged army breeches. The effect was electric and many of ns fell for his line and purchased these articles. The style is very popular and it is hoped that these articles will soon be adopted by the R. O. T. C. as the official uniform. Advanced dope for next winter points to the fact that tam-o-shanters of varied hues will be the rage. Never to be backward. Rev. Nik Carter has brought this upon us with a roar and many others have already adopted the custom. Golf coats of a greenish leather are being introduced to us through the medium of none other than Mr. Sanders, better known as Tex, of 26 Rumple Apartments, Lakeside drive. It is indeed a very fetching mode of attire. Perhaps the most striking of all the recent styles is the one promoted by friend Rifle Rest Clark. This is in the main a very simple thing to imitate, as Tobe will be pleased to make any man ' s the desired brev- ity by the addition of two bits to his coffers. ' Tis short pants, boys, without the buckle at the knee. C. K. Brown — If Mary had a little lamb and fed it green persimmons, figure the shrinkage. Weather forecast for Wednesdays, Thurs- days and Fridays : Rain in morning; fair for drill: rain for dinner: rain after lab.: fair at night. Personal — If the young man who was seen Sunday evening kissing his best girl, while standing on the porch, will send in his sub- scription for the Weakly before next press day, no further mention of the matter will be made.
