OT-KS: Vice-President La a- Ciass. 07-08 Tom is back this year trying to escape with two degrees. The teaching force of the State reluctantly hands him over to the legal circles. LaEt year he ended his eventful race tor a B.A. de gree. He returned with a surplus of dignity. He brought his speaking ability back. This he tui-ned loose to the detriment of the Moot Court. He served well at Wake Forest. Tou will hear of him in politics. TILLETTE HEXDRIX. B.A.. ADVANCE. X. C. Tell me a man is dishonest, and I icili ansicer he is no latcyer. Associate Editor Howler. ' 08: Licensed Lawyer. ' OS. Here ' s a scholar and a gentleman, a lawyer and a politician. Tillette is good-natured and unostentatious, and. as a student, is diligent and persistent. When in his room he is busy, and when seen on the campus he is in a hurry. Besides his B.A. degree he is al. o getting off work for the LL.B. this year, and after leaving the sacred v.-alls of his Alma Mater, we predict that he will re- flect honor upon the legal profession and credit upon himself.

V. FITZHUGH HAMRICK. B.A.. AiHl to lilt e ronraffe scorns ' • jiroicrss in a storm of words, valiant actions speak alone. Assistant in Gymnasium. ' 07- ' n8. Here we find a man of cool bearing and a dignified air. who consumes all his tim e in attending to his own business and never worries about that of other people. His career as a student has been quiet, never condescending to indulge in politics. Always a friend in time of trouble. He says he does not know what he is made for. but we believe he is destined to be- come a power in the finance of the world. WAITE CARLISLE HAMRICK. JR.. LL.B., IIKIIOKKK ((UNTY, S. r. lOlf ill Ihc vtion of leasl resistance. President Sophomore Class, ' 06; IVIember of Base- ball Team, ' OS-OS : Captain Baseball Team, ' 07- ' 08. Sug is on the lips of every boy in school, and especially during ball season after he has pealed out a home-run or pa. sed a season without an error, as he did this last one. He is quiet but always pleasant; a boy of out-door sports and muscle. He succeeded in making the lazy (dub for two successive years, and we hope for him a restful future.

AURENUS TILDEN HOWARD, B.A., How (leUvate. hmc serious, how wise, how o ' lgust. How iieculiar, hmr wonderful is man. Treasurer of Y. M, C. A. two years; Anniversary Orator. ' OS. ■•Howard hails from the huckleberry-ponds. Hav- ing been raised on hucks he can not boapt of his physical strength, yet his unbounded devotion to ten- nis has a tendency to develop this. He is a good speaker and really suited to h-s profes- sion. He is A chosen vessel to stir up the kingdom ot darkness. ■ His words will have reality and depth, because they will harmonize with his lite. He will occupy some city church, come timidly out. deliver his spiel and scurry quickly back icto his retiring room. He also has a Mania for fountain pens. Hear ye him: Verily, verily. I say unto you. the pen is mightier than the sword. T. LESTER JOHNSON. LL.B.. XIAKSHAIi. His bark than Inte: Licensed Lawyer. This man has the peculiar distinction of being the only Newish-Senior in the class. He is ostenta- tious, and apparently assuming, but. nevertheless, he possesses a strong intellect, and has the respect of the boys. At first he seemed a sort of Bluff. for he car- ried two guns in his pockets, and averred that ele- phants would be seen roosting in trees before his face should assume a nocturnal appearance; but one night when the Fates were against him. and the gods had forsaken him, he. with his wheels ungreased. ' fell victim to the Night-Hawk C vh No. 6. frum which time he has been a wiser and a better man. After leaving here he aims to practice law. and we feel assured that he will be successful.
