R.P. can usually be found rambling around the campus whenever the weather permits, and whether it be bright or gloomy, he has a ready smile and a greeting for everyone he meets. His quietness and lik- ability gather many a friend for him. and if he matures and increases his merits as he goes into life, we predict a wide circle of friends and success for him.

P. doesn ' t run all to length, as most people would think upon seeing him, for be- sides loftiness of statue he is possessed with a nimble brain that has made the grade in all his courses, despite the fact that illness forced him to vacation a term during his Soph year in college. Made of the stuff that spells success in all undertakings.

Cla Twick by name and nature, late president of the D. C. Cue Ball Association. His greatest joy and constant delight is to in- dulge in the Tepischorean art on all occa- sions, be they sad or gay. Good natured. happy-go-lucky, and yet he is a student of recognized standing. If Twick capers along the stepping stones of life the way he has trickled through his years at Davidson, he will go up the stairs to fame in little time. Samuel Hugh Jjuauley A, B. II.

And when it comes to mauling a tennis ball about the court, just leave it to Hugh and his trusted racquet to bring home the bacon. We will greatly miss his ready flow of wit and smiling countenance, but we realize with such tools to work with he has a future in store for him.

Some say his de- termined will accounts for this fact, while others ascribe it to his winning personality. Buck has the combined talents of an artist and a musician as well as a good student. There are great things in store for Buck. and every good wish accompanies him as he goes forth from his Alma Mater. Leroy Perry Bukney A. B. II. Parson Greensboro, K. C.

Parson typified the man who had sought after and conipiered the highest attainments in life. An untiring worker in our literary world, a debater of note, as can be testified by a string of beaten opponents ; and a scholar of the first water. Using R. O. T. C. as an avocation, he has spent four years wearing out O.D. ' s for Uncle Sammy, which goes to prove that where there ' s a will there ' s a way. Parson ' s a captain now.
