n SCHOLARSHIP — It ' s n pleasure to bring the right hand up smartly to the old visored cap out of pure respect to two of the finest scholars coming this way in many a moon. The remari able thing about these fel- lows is the fact that throughout their college ca reers — indeed, throughout most of their lives — they have had to operate under what most people world consider insurmountable handicaps. In spite of being blind, CAR- ROLL LEACH and JOHN HAZEL have moulded fine careers as col- lege students here at A. and T. They have been diligent in their studies, able to make the honcjr roll every quarter since matriculating here. They are good company, well-balanced chaps, ask no fa ' ors because of their handicap and are a credit to the college. And while this little section of your annual is primarily intended to praise noteworthy achievements, we go even further in this case and predict that in the years to come you will hear frcjm these two 1947 seniors. -AYANTEE SALUTE ATHLETICS — To that list of Aggie gridiron immortals such as Horse Lane, Bus Coleman, Sam Bruce and Brennan King ( names known and respected throughout the athletic world) is now to be ad ded another. This time it ' s a 1947 senior to be put in the class with those great grid heroes of A. and T. ' s halycon days .... And it ' s CHARLIE VEA ' ER, that hard-fighting, shifty, game-wise, triple threat, scatback sensation! Ever since way back in 1943 Wea ' er has been The Man. Three times all- conference halfback! And a real team man. Through ups and downs Charlie was in there pitching and giving out with all he had. And, brother, that was plenty. So without further ado or the least idea of when the cam- pus will see the peer of the mociest fellow from Chapel Hill, the Ayantee staff pn.udly salutes CHARITE WEA ' ER. -AYANTEt SALUTES— CAMPUS ATh ' AlRS— He likes to be called Esquire. Why nobody knows. Our idea iieing that an esquire is some kind of farmer or some- thing, and he ' s an architecture major. But nevertheless he has probably held more campus offices than any other man at the college. He ' s a well- liked guy and a good student and still finds time to engage in many, many affairs. Among the posts he has held during his four years here may be listed the presidency of the Senior Class; ditto, Junior Class, Basileus of the Orhega Psi Phi fraternity, editor of the Register, member of the year book committee along with a host of other honors and distinctions too numerous to mention in detail if we want to get this annual out before school closes. For his boundless energy and burning ambition our hats are off to ELLIS HARRIS. —AYANTEE SALUTES- MUSIC — Over in the realm of sharps and flats a not-so-green fresh- man comes in for this accolade. The talented young pianist is ROBERT WHARTON who gives cut with all those superb renditions of such intri- cate numbers as Chopin ' s Etude in G flat major in his own inimitable way. In short, he ' s good. Nuf said. —AYANTEE SALUTES- DRAMATIC ABILITY— Her talent came into the public eye best through her keen interpretation and portrayal of the most difficult role of the theatrical season. Playing the part of Mrs. Manningham in Angel Street she was great. Her hard work and natural histrionic ability make MARY FRANCES I)A ' IS the natural one to accept the salute for that fine bunch of amateur ' Thespians, the Harrison Players.
