After graduating from Spring Hill High in the spring of '28, Jerry did not think he had drunk deeply enough from the fountain of knowledge so the following September he sought admittance into Spring Hill College with the 29th division. Four years of hard work, years crowded with successes, scholastically, fraternally and socially, have marked his career at the College on the Hill . Now he wears worthily the toga of a B. S. C. and goes forth well prepared to meet the exigencies of the day. Nature has blessed him with a cheerful disposition. Where dark clouds obscure the horizons of others, Jerry could always find the silver lining. He has taken to himself the task of lightening the wor- ries of his comrades and many are the Freshmen set at ease and com- forted by the jovial greetings of this Southern Gentleman. Last year, Jerry decided to see the world from a port-hole. For weeks after his return he repeated the wonders of foreign shores to all who would lend him willingly or unwillingly their ears. In this he far outstripped the Ancient Mariner who stoppeth one of three . None could resist the tale of this sea-faring lad. He has given us no inkling of his future. Lawyer, Doctor, Indian Chief? W-e know not, but of this be certain Jerry will be a man who stands out in his chosen field. Adios! 25

Her football team will lose its alternate captain, one of the most versatile halfbacks to don the Purple and White jersey. Her baseball team will have to fill the hot corner where Joe stopped those would BE sure hits. Her student body a leader in scholarship, a perfect athlete, a true gentleman, an ardent supporter and one who will vote repeal of the 18th amendment. Joe is very modest about his achievements, so much so that he leaves when anyone mentions them in his presence. It seems he' has an uncanny capacity for turning out a great amount of quality work in a remarkable short period of time for his activities limit his mo- ments and yet he has a perfect scholastic record. Although immune to the attractions of the weaker sex, Joe is not a recluse and is one who may be classed by the expression that carries much depth and meaning, he is a regular fellow . Bullet Joe has not yet chosen his field of endeavor, but his practical experience, combined with a wealth of training under Pro- fessor Hart, should make him one of the best known business men of Cullman. He has all the qualities of a true Springhillian and success should be his. 24 rftftv-A,

ALLAN R. CAMERON, Jr. Cam Spring Hill, Alabama Candidate for A. B. Portier Literary Acadamy, '29, '30, '31, '32 Mendel Biological Society 30 31 32 Varsity Football, '30 Delta Sigma Day Dog Club, '29, '30, '31, '32 Quietly, Allan entered Spring Hill in the class of '32. Still quiet and unassuming he has won his way into the hearts of his fellow-stu- dents by the force of his sterling character. He is most certainly not of the ordinary run of men. His path is not the cloven byways of the average man, but rather a nebulous trail to success, that awaits the steadying influence that is surely his, to straighten it and give it the form that will lead him to the goal of life that his sincerity has warranted. His reserve and strength of purpose convey a message of responsibility to his fellowmen. While his keenness of intellect, wealth of determination and conscientious sense of duty instill a feel- ing of security to the person who entrusts to Allan, something that must be done. His college career speaks laudably of his worth. Illustrating in the forum of the classroom that he possessed the qualities essential to scholastic success, Allan has drunk deeply of the cup of knowledge. His courtesy and gentlemanly gifts have made him an indispensable addition to the clubs and social organizations of Spring Hill. Whether in fraternity life or literary persuits, he has always demonstrated that he claimed a heart that could conceive, an understanding that could direct and a hand that could execute. Spring Hill will feel your loss, Allan, she has profited by your presence. And as she wishes you Bon Voyage she knows that you will guide ai ship over the sea of' life from whose pin-nace will fly the pennant of successg and at whose helm a hand formed and steadied by four years of constant application and sincere effort will charter an unswerving course.
