The sweetest curdiul we receive at last. Is conscience of our virtuous actions past. Tbis young lad, possessed by tbe spirits of Clay and Webster, has taken a leading part in the literary activities of the Seminary. His logical speech and forceful presentation have forced bis ardent followers to many times re- mark, after he had taken his seat. That is the best thing be ever did. Rolston is respected and liked by every man on the campus, and when be travels across the briny deep to take up his life work among the he;ithen — well, look out Heathen! RouERT Lawson Black ' ' Slink Davidson. North ( arolina B.S. Age. 23; Ht.. .5 ' 9 ; Ul.. 160 Lbs. Kappa Sigma. This athletic youth has for some mys- terious reason received the nick-name of Slink. He has undoubtedly done much for his class by aiding in every known form of athletics. But tbis is not his sole accomplishment, for bis dashing manner and renowned good looks have given him quite a headway with that species of humanity com- monly referred to as the weaker sex. .May he leave us with fond memories of his Ahna . laler.

In every gesture dignity. John is one of the truly big men of ihe campus. In studies, oratory, and literary pursuits he has no peer. Per- haps the main reason that he has risen lo the elysian heights is his all-pervad- ing quality — dependability. He puts his best into all that he undertakes and so is always on the side of the successful. All Davidsonians are glad to have known him. Philip Osborne Bethea Oz Dillon, South Carolina B.S. Class 22. Age, 21; Height, 5 ' 9 ; Wt., 165 Lbs, Future profession: . Kappa Sigma; Varsity Football, ' 20; Wearer of the D ; D ' Club. An upright, downright honest man. Oz is one of the handsomest men of the class. With his natural athletic ability, he has made many Davidson opponents rue the day that they were pitted against him. He always has a happy smile when you meet him and this sunny disposition follows him in evei7thing that he does. Os will make his impression on this little old globe one of these days.

QUIPS AND CRANKS -1922 Willis Roberts Booth General Birmingham, Alabama A.B, 1 Class 22. Age, 22: Ht., 5 ' 11 ; Wt., 210 Lbs. Future profession: Ministry. International Relationship Club; Cor- poral in Band, •19--20. 21 ; R. O. T. C, Second Lieutenant, ' 20- 21; Reporters Club, 19- 20; Masonic Club; Alabama Club; Ministerial Band. This is some jellow. Big Booth of the Big Bass Horn fame has been a mainstay on the College Band for the past few years. Having very few to rival him in size, he has been given undisputed ownership of our biggest horn, but not only in so weighty a matter as that does he excel, for rumors come of great speeches and over- crowded churches during his holidays. We predict a second Henry Ward Beecher in this man. Robert Marion Brice Marion Junction, Alabama B.S. Class ' 22. Age, 21 ; Ht., 5 ' 8 ; Wt., 175 Lbs. Future profession: Engineering. Assistant in Physics; Class Football and Baseball; Varsity Football, 21; Wearer of the ' D ; D Club. Earth holds no other like to thee. Brice came to us from Alabama, and he don t mind admitting it. His four years have been productive of a D in the gentle art of chasing the pigskin, and also a proficiency in swatting the little white pill down the fair-way, that rivals the skill of Chick Evans. Whatever his life work may be, if he keeps striving as he has for the last four years on the gridiron, nothing but success will attend his efforts.
