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.

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.

CHARLES CHRISTOPHER CONROY CLARKSVILLE, TENN. A scholar whose mind is set on truthf' Portier Literary Society '23-'24-'25, Vice-President '25 first termg President second termg Football '23-'24, S. 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. Devoted, generous, void of guile, And with his whole heart's welcome in his smile. Mendel Club '23-'24g C. S. M. C. '24-'25, Band '21-'22-'23-'24-'25g Golf Club '23-'24g Orchestra '21-'22-'23-'24, Sodalityg Omicron Sigma. Eddie is a native Mobilian, having been born here December 18, 1904. 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.

M. C., Assistant Editor Springhillian '24-'25. We predict that St. Augustine, will some day add to its list of achievements a proud acknowledgment of the birth there March, 27, 1906, of Willie De Hoff. His youth attests to the keen mind that has caused him to be recognized as one of the best students in the class. Ever since his entrance into the college, he has held leading roles in the plays which the Portier Literary Society has staged. His literary talent is undoubted, as also his prowess on the gridiron. Willie has shown himself to be one of the best ends we have seen at Spring Hill. Good luck to you, Willie, and godspeed! LOUIS RENE DE ROUEN VILLE PLATTE, LA. He lives at peace with all mankind.

Fatty first saw the light of day on September 20, 1904. He entered Spring Hill College in 1921. Everyone loves a fat man, and Fatty is no exception. He is one of the most popular men in the college, and also one of the most faithful work- ers. Louis has been one of the mainstays of the football team for the past four years, and though not a flashy player, has been 3 star in his own quiet way. He has not said what he intends to be. Any profession that he will choose will be honored by his entrance.
