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.

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.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Volunteer Band; Glee Club. ■19- 20; Y Quartet. ' ' Great men, like heaven, are pleased in doing good. This thoroughly occidental looking young man calls Mississippi his home. He entered Davidson after taking some work at S. P. I ' ., and has been a most welcome member of our class. Bill is a leader in the religious work of the hill and has shown exceptional ability in many ways. A man of his calibre should be a great power for good on the for- eign field.

Ed certainly believes in the old maxim — Store thy mind with knowl- edge, and keep thyself busy while do- ing it. In the midst of his many and varied duties he finds time to frolic around on the clay courts and is an ardent follower of Tilden. Deacon has decided that Medicine is the only thing for him to study after he collects his sheepskin here, and we predict he will be a cuttin up surgeon. — riv;ffl ' ; ' .T ' ' SN4
