He was born in the last named' on the first day of No- vember, in the year 1905. We foretell that some day New Iberia will declare this date a legal holiday, for we feel certain that Dit' will become its leading citizen. Harold entered his alma mater while still a little boy, in September, 1918, as a member of the Second High Class. Since then he has been one of our foremost enter- tainers, and when he left for a short period in 1924, Spring Hill did not seem like the same old place. 9 Dit is also a student and an athlete, though he believes in the old proverb, Work like a man, but don't be worked to death. He has not informed us as to what profession he intends to enter, but his is the type that is bound to succeed, and it is certain that he, in his good fortune will never forget old Spring Hill, where he spent so many years.

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.

DANIEL E.. HARDIE MIAMI, FLA. Formed on the good old plan, A true and brave and downright honest man. Portier Literary Society '23-'24-'25g Mendel Club '23-'24-'25g Golf Club '23-'24g S0- dalityg Treasurer '24-'25, Storekeeper '24-'253 Football '23-'24g C. S. M. C. '24-'25, Omicron Sigma. Miami, Florida, claims Dan as one of her citizens. Dan was born there on the seventh day of February, 1905. But Spring Hill has a strong claim on him, for here he has spent the best part of his youth. He entered Spring Hill way back in those days of '17, and he holds the record of being the oldest boarder in years of constant attendance in the class of '25. Although Dan was the lightest center on a Southern football team, he was also one of the best, and he has learned to perfection that never-say-die spirit. He was one of the main factors in Spring Hill's successful season of '24, and we are certain that if he carries that same spirit into the medical profession that he carried into foot- ball games, he will some day be one of the leading doctors in the South. Dan is a real Spring Hill man. I-IILAIRE. J. LAVIGNE SHREVEPORT, LA. Of soul sincere, In action faithful and in honor clear. Portier Literary Society '23-'2-1-'25g Mendel Biological Society '23-'24-'25, Sodality '24-'25g C. S. M. C. '24-'25, Advertising Manager of the Annual '25, Hilaire was born in Shreveport, La., on the sixteenth day of November, 1903, and entered Spring Hill as a freshman in 1921 to get his A.B. degree. Since then he has been prominent in all lines of endeavor. Frenchy has worked hard during his college career, and has also gained the friendship and esteem of all by his good nature and sincerity. We all hate to see him leave, but college days do not last forever. Hilaire hopes to continue his education and to enter the engineering field, and, to be sure, wherever he may go, he will undoubtedly be successful and well liked. With his success will come credit to his alma mater, and the world will have to acknowledge and pay tribute and honor to another great Springhillian.
