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.

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.

Pause if you like, but try to keep your breath ; Look like a man, but don ' t be worked to death. Breaking the precedent of his native townsman, this prodigy of Kershaw is a clog dancer of no mean repute. Verit- ably, the Barracks tremble under his massive heel. Yet, his ability to execute this artistic dance is merely a gentle zephyr as compared to his future — to which we sanction him as being num- bered among those who have achieved the art of life — success. We wish for this man that aggressive- ness and perseverance that constitutes an inspiring example to those w ' ho fol- low after him. George Henry Cornelson. Jr. Slkk New Orleans. Louisiana A.B.

There is always room jor a man of power. Here we have the mixture of a Beau Brummel and a Scott. This immacu- lately dressed young man possesses a business head which marks him above the general run of men. His literary achievements are no less noteworthy. Beloved by all. Slick will add many friends to his now o ' erflowing list wher- ever he goes.
