Ker baINNBY BOONE, N. C. Scientific Course Corporal, Company B; Athenian. “Judge” came to us last year with a good record and has upheld it here. He is one of our big boys and stands out in ranks. Judging from him, we believe that the mountains are a good place to live. He has a quiet disposition, but words of wisdom flow from him. = —T S. E. GREEN WELDON, N. C. Scientific Course Private, Company A; Philomathean. “Shep” came to us from an eastern Caro- lina town. He is recognized by the boys for his wit and wisecracks. “Shep” seems to have lost something in Halifax, N. C. Probably he is looking for a job as a soda =jerker.. Week ‘ends’ are his weakness. W. V. McCALL : LAURINBURG, N. C. Commercial Education Course Private, Company A; Tennis; German Club. Philomathean; “Mac,” although he has been with us but half the year, has won many friends among the cadets. His ability to play tennis won him a place on the team. “Mac,” we can see a bright future ahead of you. Ge IK =00. El Gy ie he Page fifty-seven

Je O3WHITE COLERAIN, N. C. Scientific Course Sergeant, Band; Athenian. “Red” is one of the most comical fellows on the Ridge, but he has serious thoughts at times, it is said. If you want your gray skies changed to blue, see “Red.” Colerain is rightfully proud of such a loyal son. SJE ITTKS OJ LS PLASTER LONG ISLAND, N. C. Scientific Course Private, Band; Athenian; Orchestra. “Slim came to us from M.P.C.I., and he is certainly appreciated on the Ridge. We sure do like to hear him toot his saxophone when the band gets “warm and annoyed.” Slim, we believe you will get to the top some day. C. A. BEESON OAK RIDGE, N. C. Classical Course Private, Company A; Athenian; Term Honor Roll. Arminius is quite dimi- nutive, but he has a large brain and will go far in whatever he chooses, being in possession of an infinite capacity for work. Proof—he is taking Mr. Virgil’s Aeneid and making it look sick. Page fifty-six
