H. C. Golf Club '23-'24g K. of C. Club '23-24, Sec- retary and Treasurer, C. S. M. C. June 10, 1903, was made important by the arrival of Charles Christopher at Clarksville, Tenn. Eighteen years later Slow entered Spring Hill. Being somewhat disinclined to haste, he has well merited his nom de boulevard. However, we have numerable instances of a quick-thinking brain. As for the physical part, those who had occasion to witness the S. H. C.-Union game two years ago agree with the fair young fan who sarcastically remarked, And they call him 'Slow'l As president of the Portier Literary Society, he distinguished himself by his tact and masterly parliamentary procedure. We are willing to bet that Slow will be as much of a credit to Spring Hill after he leaves us as he was while with us. EDWARD A. DAMRICH1 MOBILE, ALA.

He en- tered Spring Hill in the spring of 1917, and consequently has the attendance record for the class of 1925. Ed has been one of the best-liked fellows in the college. He has always been willing to help in every possible way, and has thus won for himself the love and respect of the class. In leaving his alma mater, Ed takes with him her Pest wishes for prosperity and success, and we know that all her hopes in him will be ulfilled.

Ray was bo1'n in Albany, Georgia, on the 26th of October, 1903, and came to Spring Hill College in his freshman year. Though not an athlete of note, Skipper Ray is one of the most popular boys that Spring Hill has ever known. He is a true friend, and one that you may depend on in the pinches. Skipper's powers of conversation and extemporaneous oratory are well known and appreciated by all. He may always be counted upon to entertain a crowd with his experiences, and his speeches are always certain of winning over all opponents. Ray is the model type of Spring Hill man, and will always be a friend and boos- ter of his alma mater. RICHARD EDWARD CHING, JR. MEMPHIS, TENN. He was a man, take him for all in all, We shall not look upon his like again. Mendel Biological Society '23-'24g Portier Literary Society '23-'24-'25, Secretary first semester, '23, Vice-President second semester '24, President first semester '24, Choir '23-'24-'25, Secretary '24-'25, Omicron Sigma, Baseball Varsity '22-'23-'24-'25, Football '21-'22-'23-'24g Alt. Cap. '23g Captain '24, Class Pres- ident '22-'23-'24g Springhillian Staff '23-'24-'25, Annual '25. Though born in Birmingham, Ala., on October 27, 1903, Memphis claims Dick as one of her illustrious sons. He came to Spring Hill in 1921 from St. Bernard's Col- lege, he has been a leader in all activities, both scholastic and athletic. During the '24 football season, Dick led one of the most successful teams that Spring Hill has had in a number of years. His literary ability is shown by the fact that he has held all of the important offices of the Literary Society, and has been one of the Society's most prominent actors in the plays that it has produced . Dick is a leader, and what the world needs is leaders, so we feel safe in saying that Dick will be a successful business man and a credit to his alma mater.

I JAMES SAMUEL DAVIDSON, JR. THOMASVILLE, ALA. I know what study is, it is toil. Mendel Club '22-'23-'2-1-'25, Vice-President '24-'25, Sodalityg C. S. M. C., Oimicron Sigma, Portier Literary Society '24-'25, Annual Staff '25. Doc was born June 26, 1904, and came to Spring Hill in 1921. There may have been better students than Doc, but we have not known them. He has always been 3 class leader, and always interested in college activities. But Doc is also a football player, and though not on the Varsity, was one of the faithful workers on the squad. This year Doc made quite a name for himself as President of the Mendel Club. The medical profession is indeed fo1'tunate in gaining such a man as Doc, and we feel sure that Spring Hill will always be proud to claim him as an alumnus. PHILIP DONALD DE HOFF JACKSONVILLE, FLA. A man renowned for reparteef' Portier Literary Society '23-'24, Band '20-'21-'22-'23-'24-'25g Orchestra '20-'21-'22- '23-'24-'25, Choir '22-'23-'24-'25g Mendel Club '24-'25, Sodalityg C. S. M. C. '24-'25, Football '22-'23-'25. 'tCount was born September 25, 190-1. He entered Spring Hill in Fourth High, September, 1920. The next year he began the course of studies leading to a B.S. degree. He is a good student, and we expect great things from him. In his sopho- more year, Count gained a position as guard on the Varsity football team. How well he fulfilled the coach's trust can be learned from any member of the teams which played against Spring Hill during the past three seasons. Count is endowed with no little sense of humor, and his witty remarks will be greatly missed next year.
