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. ( ' .

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

THOMAS JEFFERSON C ' OVIXC ' .TON, A.R. Pinnacle, N. C. A noble type of good lieroic manhood. Age, - ' 1: height, 5 feet 9 inches: weight, 1S5: Henry Clay Society; Joseph Moure Science Club; (, ' uilford College Literary Club; Secretary Y. M. C. 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.

' I ' luni Catawba ( ' (jlleg( One of tlie l)est sludeiils i n the Class, he loves kiKiwleilge for her (iwn sake. An onniivorous reader. - n incessant talker. Pretends to niortallj ' hate tlu ' fair .sex, Ijiit we hear that he is quite a lady ' s man among liis native Woods. Belongs to the pessimi.stic school. Scorns hypocrisy. He is such a com- pound of absurdity, envy and malice, contrasted with the opposite virtues of kindness, genero.sity and benevolence that he may be said to consist of two distinct souls and influenced by the agency of both a good a.nd a bad spirit. ARTHUR KIRBY MOORE, B.S, Gun FORD CoLI ECiE, N. C. Aky Men of courage, men of sense, men of letters are frequent; but a true gentleman is what one seldom sees.

Short in stature but every inch a man. Allows nothing to come between him and what he recognizes as his duty. A mathematician, he has yet to run across the problem that can stump liiin. Conscientious, amiable disposition, and studious habits; pa.ssionately fond of mu.sic; singing is liis hobby. A man who has overcome much and of whom his Class is justly proud. 21
