Recording Secretary, First Monitor; Varsity Baseball, Wearer of P ; Collegian Staff; Secretary Senior Class; Class Football. Basketball and Baseba Dune hails from the ihriving little town of Latta. Upon arriving at Big Dick ' s Chris- tian college in the fall of ' 17 he immediately centered his attention upon becoming a dig- nified senior. But then certain changes had to take place before he realized his goal, and so step by step he has progressed until at last it is near at hand. Red is one of the few fellows on whom one can depend for a smile at any and all times, a pal who can cheer you when you are blue. He has that spirit of good fellowship which wins friends wherever he goes and that staunchness of friendship which holds them for keeps. Believing that variety is the spice of life, he has of late taken into his confidence certain of the fair sex, and for an amateur, it must be conceded, does really All the above is true, but then that ain ' t a If you knew all that Dune and I know about Dune, you ' d understand. But then he won ' t put out any information; in fact, is such an extremist on this point that he won even divulge content of lessons to ihe profes- sors. Has a highly cultivated horse-laugh, a score of stale jokes and an innumerable number of red hairs on his head.

Kennedy Historian A. W. Dick Poet Senior Class Poem (From Rugby Chapel, by Mathew Arnold) What is the course of life Of mortal men on (he earth? Most men eddy about Here and there — eat and drink. Chatter and love and hate, Gather and squander, are raised Aloft, are hurled in the dust. Striving blindly, achieving Nothing, and then they die — Perish;— and no one asks Who or what they have been More than he asks what waves. In the moonlit solitude mild Of the midmost ocean, have swelled. Foamed for a moment, and gone. And there are some, whom a thirst, Ardent, unquenchable, fires. Not with the crowd to be spent, Not without aim to go round In an eddy of purposeless dust. Effort unmeaning and vain. Ah, yes, some of us strive Not without action to die Fruitless, but something to snatch From the dull oblivion, nor all Glut the devouring grave We, we have chosen our path — Path to clear purposed goal, Path of Advance.

Entered College ' Hi ; Member Eukoamian Literary Society; Class Historian; Q. S. Com. Officer ' 18- 19; Varsity Football I ' M. Rush came to us from the commonwealth of Laurens, but since he was not an original member of our class, we are indebted to him for helping start us in the way we should go. Having received his commission as Second Lieutenant at Plattsburg, he helped train men to can the Kaiser. This imperial autocrat having been dethroned, Rush returned to his Alma Mater and took up his studies again. Although never classed as a varsity man until this past season of football, he has hardly ever missed a practice and stuck with the men through thick and thin; and has thus aided in building up our past brilliant grid- iron record s. He is not a ladies ' man, yet is a lady ' s man by choice. It isn ' t hard to believe, either. A Tr Meet Rush, once in the Fire Department, now in the mess hall (most of the time), even though Them lasses has specks in em. Has beaucoup friends (when he gets his car) and one faithful admirer (when he looks in the mirror). Anyway, we all love you so much I never saw, old scout. 1 3 i 3
