His record in general scholarship is one to which he may point with pride and the mysteries of psychol- ogy and logic hold no terrors for him. In him we find the rare combination of musician and athlete. It is hard to say which he had rather be doing playing Beethover or standing like a stone in the center id the football line. In so- ciety work, in class work, on the athletic field he has always been found with his shoulder to the wheel. Of a kindly and sociable dispo- sition he is a well rounded character. ■Nothing yi thusiash thieved without Age 20; Height, 5 ft. 9 in.; Weight 154 President (3); CI., v. [less Manager of Cla e Club (J, 3, 4). Book; Joseph Moore Strong willed and independent Oris goes serenely on his way little seeking the plaudits of his fellow beings. Squarely honest and straight forward he never acts merely to gain popular favor. Nevertheless he has succeeded in winning numerous friends during his four year ' s sojourn at Guilford. Dame Fortune has smiled indulgently on Oris and as a favored child of Iters he enjoys a goodly share of her blessings. She has granted unto him an en- gaging presence and a certain charm of man- ner which we may call gallantry. But the smiles of Dame Fortune have not given Oris an exaggerated notion of his own importance. Indeed it might be said that he is somewhat reticent when it comes to an expression of his ideas. Xo man belonging to the C ' las of ' IS can lay claim to more genuine mental ability than can Oris. This is shown as well by the usual wit and humor of his conversation as by the ease with which he captures good grades. Capable ami determined whatever Gris wills to do, he can do.

AGNES MARIE CLEGG A. B. Guilford College, N. C. Her voice is ever gentle, soft and low— an excellent thing in woman. Age 23; Height, 5 ft. 3 in.; Weight 113 Member Philomathean Society C, 3, 4); President Societj (4); Member V. W. C. A. (3); Secretary of Class (3); Class Book Staff (4). Marie is retiring and unobtrusive almost to a fault and one has to know her intimately in order to see and understand those admirable and superb qualities of character of which she possesses a great number. Thoughtful and unselfish, the comfort of others is always her first care. She has perhaps a deeper apprecia- tion of the fine in literature and art than any other member of our class and this quality has been more than evident in the high order of her society work. Refinement and culture are inherent in Marie and the desire to attain life ' s best and highest is her guiding star. To know Marie is to hue her. Iftcr I have cas my opinio! i about mi act then il is inn Material to n ic what others thin ,-. Age ft. 4 in.; Weight 11; Zatasian Literary Society (1, 2, 3); Societj Presi- dent (J, 3); Secretarj (1, 2); Class Secretarj (3); Student Council (2) ; Guilfordian Board (.1); Joseph Moon- Science Club (J, 3); Student Government President (4). In the fall of 1915 the cold winds of Canada swept Gertrude southward. She landed at Guilford to join our class. To build a per- fect character is her aim. She stands as an independent thinker and has a wonderful pow- er of continuation when she begins to dis- course. Gertrude delves into psychology and is a perfect crank about anything pertaining to biology. Her talent in art and music is hidden to many. And she appears to be very much of a dreamer. Who knows but that when these dreams materialize there will be a successful life of service. Enthusiasm and perseverance are her hand maids when once her mind is made to undertake or support am thing. GERTRUDE DARDEN CRONK A. B. Pickering, Ontario, Canada

IRA G. HINSHAW A. B. Randleman, N. C. •w lit, skui: impossible to dili ic Age 24 ; Height, 5 ft. 10% Weight 1SS Websterian Society (1, 2, 3, 4): Winner stcnan Oi.il.in. .,1 Me.l.il 121 .

Dignity and composure sit enthroned on Ira ' s brow. Thoroughly self-confident he has succeeded in winning the confidence of those with whom he comes in contact. An excel- lent intellect, an especially good student in history and economics, broad-minded and pos- sessing sound judgment may be safely attrib- uted to Ira. Standing for the best things in life he impresses one with his ambition and devotion to worthy ideals. Repeatedly has he demonstrated his ability of oratory, debating and general scholarship, so that lie holds the high esteem of his fellow students. Possess- ing business and executive ability of a high order one may hazard the guess that his ear- nest and conscientious labor will tell in his life work. He is well paid who is well satisfied.

Jack enjoys the unique distinction of be- ing the youngest member of the class and the oldest student at Guilford. Six of his eighteen years have been spent here. Two in prep and four in college. His age speaks well for him as a student, and as for his future we can easily predict. Chemistry is his fort, although he passes everything else. He does not worry when he gets C ' s nor does he boast when he gets A ' s. He is an all round class-man and before him lies a great future. DAVID HOUGHTON JACKSON B. S. Guilford College, N. C. Jack
