THOMAS JEFFERSON C ' OVIXC ' .TON, A.R. Pinnacle, N. C. A noble type of good lieroic manhood.

A. {3, 4); Secretary Athletic Associatiun (■ , 4): President Athletic Association (4): I ' ri ' iiliiil Henry Clay Society (4); Winner Hmry Clay Oratorical Medal iS). After having spent two years at the l ' ni ' ersity, Tommy decided to come to Guilford. He en- tered the Junior Class and in grades he ha.s stood near the head of his Class. He has not only taken an active part in the pursuit of knowledge, but has lieen a loyal man in other phases of College life. He is conscientious and outspoken. He is a firm believer in those principles which are essential in making strong manhood. The Class of ' 11 is fortunate in having a intui of his character and al)ility as one of tlicir niunber. LUCY t;EUTRUDE FARLOW, A. 15. Sophia, N. C. ' •Trndchen Patience and gentleness are power. Age, 23; height, 5 feet 3 inches; weight, lOG; President Philomathean Society (4); Joseph Moore Science Club (3, 4)- Gertrude is one of those quiet, unobtrusive little bodies, who mind their own business. She never shirks a duty. A hard working student, she probably knows as much Math., Higher Calculus, etc., as aiiyliody in the Class and we have some especially brilliant stars in this field. Has the reputation of being the most dignified girl of the group. Seldom ex] resses an opinion of any kind and was never known to say an unkind thing about anybody. Deeply religious, she puts her religion into practice by living daily a simple life of usefulness whose beauty never dazzles nor never tires.

Entering the Preparatory Depart- ment here six years ago, he has faithfully pur- sued the course until he stands now a finished product, a man who would be a credit to any Class. A natural-born orator he has won all the prizes coming his way. A man of few words, we Usten when he speaks. Has great political aspirations and hopes some day to occupy the seat of Cliief .Jvistice of the Supreme Court. 1,11.1, IE ELT,10TTE BULLA. A.B. SiU ' llIA. X. ( ' .

RUFUS HENRY FITZGERALD, A.B. Pelham, N, C. Bishop Xevor works ' til ho has to.

Uishop started iu witli ' 10, liut on account of an accident was forced to drop out a year. His misfortune was our gain; for he has been at the top of the line on all important actions of the Class and Student body, and has ungrudgingly given the best there is in liim for the lienefit of it hers. He is a great lover of music and one has only to hear liis deep basso-prof undo voice to appreciate it. Yet, withal, he persists in taking Ills afternoon nap and in spending his energy in getting others to work for liim. His good nature and fund of ability will, we feel sm-e, enable Bishop to attain a po-sition of promi- nence. ELVAXXAII LANCELOT IH ' DSOX, A.B. Ty.xkr, X. ( ' . ' i am a debtor both to the .Ji ' W and to the Gentile. Age. . ' . ' : height, o feet 7 inches; weight, 127; Biblical Seminar {3, 4); Bibliccd Research Society (.{); }■. M. ' . A. Cabinet {2, 3, 4); Secretary Athletic As.-inrialian {. ' }; President Biblical Semi- nar (4); Cbiss Pirsidrnt (3); Class Debating Team (3); Winner nf Freshman Oridorical Prize; Orchestra (3, .(). This httle fellow, who is the smallest man in the Class, came to us from Belvidere Academy, and entered the Freshman Class. ' hile he has not made fancy grades, he may be classed as the average student. He has made the Bible his major study, and expects to make part of a living expounding the Gospel. He is very much devoted to music, and when he sings, looks to the stars for inspiration. His chances are as good as any other i Iethodist preacher. One tiling may be added still — for a little man he is over noisy. 20
