Gig comes from the Occident, and after two years demands his degree, and also License to practice his necessary attorney talent in the Commonwealth. His argument I? I. coupled with one of his long- drawn, bewitching smiles, will win any jjry to his feigned opinion. He has been an important character in the Moot Court. You can hear liim farther than jou can see him. His appetite is unruly at all times. When he came he possessed the one usual charac- teristic of a Freshman. It is surmised that he will become a great Lawyer. V. F. COUCH. B.S., .IENXI. ;S. X. c. A siirtjcon must Tiarc an ecgles eye. a lion ' s heart and a lady ' s hand. Baseball Team.

Some day he expects to roll up a great fortune with pills and quinine.

JOHN T. BYRIIM. B.A . KVLAND, N. C. Deep on his front engraven Deliberalion sat and public care. When John first joined the class of ' OS he was at once classed in Professor Sledd ' s favorite category. Xo smile has ever played upon Uis pious face. He will in due time become an able man of the ministry, and live a long life of single wretchedness. JAMES GROVER CARROLL. B.A., SAMPSOX COUXTV. N. C. Whoe ' er excels in what we prize. Appears a hero in our eyes. Vice-President of his Class; Senior Editor of Thl Howler. ' OT- ' OS. In spite of his unconcerned manner of locomotion, and his quivering chin, he is somewhat handsome. His countenance carries an ever ready smile, and his tongue a cheerful word for his fellows. Grover is a good student, and is master of what- ever he undertakes. Though he entered a full Fresh- man. with honor, he finishes in three years, and goes, level-headed, big-hearted, into th; field of tutor- ship, where the little ones look up to be fed. Many more of this type are needed in our schools. May his success be as grand as his prospects prophesy.

He will at no dis- tant day become an able member of the Scotland Neck Bar.
