His inevitable good humor and his unique jokes were a panacea to the mental faculties of his comrades when under the strain of scholastic difliculties. A distinct sense of loss will be felt by all of us as this fine friend and comrade leaves to continue his studies in journalism at DUKE.

The football teams of two seasons claimed him as one of the hest ends in yearsg the hasehall squad recognized his worth for two successive years. As President of the Senior Class he showed l1is qualities of leadership. Besides, he rated among the scholastic leaders. A man with such a record, combined with the winning personality which Sher pos- sesses, must go far. The class regrets that it must lose close Contact with such a per- sonality as l1e continues his work at DUKE. 1 . Q .I 1431
