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.

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.

Brown rarely fre(|uents the haunts of the campus loafers, but on the baseball diamond — he is a satellite of the first class. For conscientious hard work Grady is the stuff in whatever he does. We are blessed with few choice souls such as this one. Watch Grady knock a home run through the innings of life. Joseph Fitzhicii Clark Rifle Rest Clarkton. North Carolina A.B. Class ' 22.

Rifle Rest got his name and reputa- tion established during his .S. . T. C. His happy disposition has always given him access to whatever he desired and we have all been proud to have been class-mates of his. He possesses the happy faculty of always coming out on top, and so we have little fear that he will make bis mark in the world.
