•■ A Few Lines to the Class The time has come, my friends, when as of old Young knights, untried, went forth to prove their worth. So ye go forth to show what deeds of gold Pulse in }-our heart rmd struggle to a birth. The wav of life is hard, but ye are men ; Remember when the tide of hope runs low, Remen.iber we are praying for }t)u then ; Whenever storms assail, or tempests blow. Seek in your hearts and ye will (ind the grail. It is the truth, and service for the right. First there your eyes, and nothing will avail To turn you from the goal ye ha ' e in sight. The time is short, so come, and say good-bye. Keep ye the faith and all things will be well. Now look ; the fields of service round you lie. Farewell. Each has his task to do. Farewell. W. F. Gallaway, Jr.

Class History To record the activities of a class for the entire four years of its existence in college is no easy task. The history of ' 24 in detail could only Iic written in volumes of great magnanimity, but here we shall only mention Ihf nuist iiutstanding facts concerning our class. Ill .Stiainihcr, 1920. we gathered from the four comers of the globe 188 •itruiig. As Freshmen we underwent the usual period of storm and stress. We were apt in learning what it mean to horse ' ' an upper-classman. In laiiuary a meeting was called for the purpose of electing officers. The ' result of the final ballot was as follows: Mason D.

Beginning our Junior year with a class greatly diminished in numbers, we began to realize some of the responsibilities resting on our shoulders. Although small in number, we found that the spirit of the class had increased. Elias Faison was elected to direct the activities of the class for this year, with ,T. I. Smith, Vice-President; R. R. Jones, Secretary-Tr. urer; D. S. Phlegar, Historian; W. F. Gallaway, Poet. of th of Two things are outstanding in our Junior year. The abolition of hazing and Junior Speaking.

That which will be most outstanding in our memory would seem to be the winning of the Class Basketball Championship, and then the feeds which we have held A. M. HILLHOUSE As to achievements in athletics, ' 24 has taken a place in the front rank. In football. Faison, Moore, Davis, Clarke. Field, Cox. Hodgin. DeArmon and Long have won the coveted D.

Gallaway, Not only along these two lines has ' 24 been active. In every phase of liege life and all the activities of the campus ' 24 has been well repre- nted, furnishing excellent leaders in the literary societies, etc. A note of sadness creeps in as we chronicle these events, for we realize ere has been so much left undone. We have done our best as a class e here under the direction of fine examples of Christian manhood, and 1 we shall have passed through the portals of our Alma Mater into real we feel a. surety that we shall l e capable of representing Davidson in lives and by our example always.

If a situation has the least humor connected with it, Okey ' s laugh can be heard ringing out in full enjoy- ment. It is an enviable quality — that of being able to see the humorous side of every situa- tion, whether it be of a troublous nature or not. Okey has done soine excellent work with the Ainn:al and other publications, and this coupled with his voice and position of Cheer Leader, has made him much in demand since his matriculation in 1920.

Young in years but in saf e cauiisci old Wiggs unquestionably is one of the big men of his class. He is an outstanding man in literary work and quite an orator in his literary society. He is a hard worker and can always be depended upon to put a thing across once he starts on it. Despite the fact that he is always engaged in some activity outside the class room, he has never failed to be one of the best students of his class. Our Wildcat Eleven, due to the hard work and wonderful ability of Manager Bradford, has probably played the best schedule of games this season that a team has had in years. With the start that Wiggs has already acquired in life we feel sure that he will be a great credit to his Alma Mater.
