L. E. Bouek, A. Search diligently, and you shall find abundant truths hidden in mys- tery There is no member of the Class more admired than is LEO. He knows the right, and is always ready to de- fend it. He first entered in Septem- ber, 1910, but being in no special hurry to finish he taught one year. With determination renewed, he joined us in September, 1913. He has a clear mind, and a keen penetrative intellect. He does not go to school just to say that he has been through college, but that he might know the things that the world requires of a college graduate. He has received honors in scholarship. He was a member of the Euronian Society, but on account of inconvenience he had to give up that work last year. He nevertheless ranks high as a debater and public speaker. He always looks on the bright side of things, and very seldom does he become discouraged. The world promises him success as a minister and teacher. Scrub Debater 1911; Won Scholarship Medal 1912.

The world in its strangle for light needs men who see all things right LRROY entered the Freshman Class from Hickory High School in the Fall of 191 1. His face at once shows us that he is a student. Honor and popularity came to him without his striving. Not only in the classrooms has he shown his talents, but he stands high in Society work and in athletics. He is equipped for any duty that falls to a student. He stands on his own convictions, and is not led astray by hasty conclusions. He knows how to be friendly to all and partial to none. He gets pleasure out of all that he does, and is ever ready to help others. He is a great admirer of the Co-Eds, and they in turn render to him due admiration. Deaton has been a strong and active worker of the Euronian Society, Luther League, and other college or- ganizations. He expects to take a theological course. Fresh-Soph.

S. W. Hawn, A. B. HICKORY, N. C. To be a good student is to be very wise, A r ot only in my own, but in other people ' s eyes. Sam is a member well known and liked by all his classmates. He has never tried to conceal himself, even at the risk of beinqf lectured by teachers. He shows great adapt- ability to literary work ; especially is he fond of German and Mathematics. He is a great enthusiast : having once set his head, he is not easily turned. He is a good debater, and has done much for his Society — Euronian — in both its literary work and genera- advancement. He has a strong will power, and great executive ability. He is very influential among his friends, and a willing helper to all in need. He expects to continue his lit- erary work for a while.

Virginia saw fit to lend us another of her sons for a short time. B. T. has been with us for six years. The friends that he has made while here will live for him after he is gone. He has never claimed to lie a model stu- dent, but there is nothing too deep for him if he once sets his head to dig after it. He is not ashamed to do whatever necessity demands. Be- cause of his unselfish and generous disposition, he is the friend of every- body on the hill. Besides being a student, he is an athlete, a strong So- ciety worker, and a promoter of all organizations of honor. His great- est aim is to be an efficient teacher, and a helper to all whom he may meet. Scrub Debater 1913; Chrestonian Anniversary 1914-
