Joseph Melville Broughton, B. A. raij-:I(;h. n c The heights of great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight ; But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. Anniversary Marshal, ' 08; President of Junior Class, ' o8- ' oq; Member of College Senate, ' o8- ' oq ; Associate Editor of Weekly, ' oS- ' og; Athletic Editor, ' oS- ' oq; President of Y. M. C. A., ' o8- ' o9 ; Member of Football Team, ' oS- ' og ; Editor in-Chief of Student, ' oS- ' og; Debate Council, ' og- ' io. Heif ht fi it I inch; wciLjht 170 Ihs; age 21 years. What Longfellow expresses in the above lines as to the achievements of great men, the student body and friends of Broughton can truly say of him. In his work he has been untiring; and in the still hours of the night toiled upward and onward, until he ranks high as a student, and is highly respected by all. While Dutch has ne ' er sought college honors, he has had many handed him, and in every one he has won distinction for himself and honor for the Old College. In council he was ever present, and his advice and sound judgment was sought by the fellows Xot only has he been connected with the political phase of college life, but has lent a helping hand to the Christian side as well Therefore, we may characterize him as a young man who stands for friendship, ' honor nd a Christian character, and in later years, he will, having these principles, stand high 1 his profession. Donald Austin Brown, B. A. KKRSHAW, S r o8, ' 09, ' 10; Manager Basket Here is a man of g, .„ ,d strong character with independence and force, a man wiin holds the con- fidence of everyone. He is e ery mch a South Carolinian, and we wish for more of her sons like him. He is ever steady and stable, unshaken by the shouts or plaudits of the throng; the kind that nourishes the tap-root of the institution. Brown has taken much interest in, and has given much of his time to athletics, especially basket ball: and as manager of that team the past season, he did his work well. The best wishes of the class go with him as he begins his ministerial duties. 24

John James Best, B. A. DLPLIX COUXTV. X C Title ' s of honour add not to his worth. Who is himself an honour to his titles. Sophomore Medal, ' 08; Associate Editor Weekly, •09; Member Student Senate, ' oS- ' oq; Member De- bate Council, ' oQ- ' io; Anniversary Orator, ' 10. Height, 5 ft. 10 ins.; weight, 170 lbs.; age, 25 years. A man of wise judgment, a faithful friend, an agreeable companion. He has the verv appearance of an orator, and especially did he distingiiish him- self in that capacity at Anniversary. John is very lT ' ])ular in college and holds the confidence of the whole student body. As a student, he is steadv. not the kind whose ambition is to coin the loo ' s, but he takes his work with ease and little excite- ment. A strong speaker, determined, and invincible in his undertakings, he will surely make the greatest success as a lawyer. ?. £. Brickhouse, B. A. TERRELL COLXTY, X C Pre Although i iident of Ministe ial Cla 09. Senior Speaker Height, 5 ft. 9 ins. ; weight 145 lbs. ; age 26 years. A brick house in name, but like Jackstm, a stone- wall in character, quiet, unassuming, the subject of this sketch, on slight ac ' |uaintance. is seldom taken for his full worth. An earnest student, a hard worker, and an uncompromising Christian gentle- man when the right is at stake. This man has made a lasting impression upon those who know him intimately. Though he seldom courts popularity, he never forgets a favor, and leaves college with a host of strong friends. Those who know him be- lieve in him. In his four years of college life Brickhouse has never been a star, yet he is by no means dull. On class he is prompt and faithful, while in society his clarion voice may often be heard in debate or council. His silent, manly bearing has had its effect on his fellow students, and he goes forth, a worthy herald of the old, old story.

George Car lie Brown, B. A. MARS HILL X r But I am constant as the nonhern star. Of whose tnie-fiied and resting quality There is no fellow in the firmament. Senior Speaker, ' 09; Senior Editor of the Howler, ' og- ' io. Height, 6 ft.; weight, 175 lbs.; age, 2j years. Pard hails from the land beyond the Blue Ridge, and the mountains seem to have imparted - ' me of their loftiness to his ambition and purposes. He is a splendid student, having completed his course creditably in three years. As a speaker, he has shown marked ability: and above all he is a true friend to all who know him. He talks little. but his good-natured smile and warm hand shake will long be remembered. Perhaps no other man of his class has been so diligent a worker and when he leaves the college halls this same enthusiasm will mark his career. He has selected teaching as his profession, and after graduating will attempt to train some of Xorth Carolina ' s sons and daughters in hard and tr -ing ways of learning. Dee Carricky B. A. HIGH POINT. . C If honor calls, where ' er she points the way. The sons of honor follow and obey. Secretary of Junior Class, ' oS- ' og; Tennis Cham- pion, ' oS- ' oQ- ' io; President of Guilford County Club; Member of Basket Ball Team, ' oS- ' op- ' io; ' Track Team, ' oS- ' og- ' io; Manager of Track Team, ' og; Manager of Tennis Team, ' og- ' io; Alternate Ran- dolph-Macon Debate, ' op; Corresponding Secretary of Y.

Height, 6 ft.; weight, 165 lbs.; age, 21 years. Dee ' is in many respects an ideal college stu- dent. He has entered heartily into college life. and is one of our strongest and most popular men. . s an athlete, he has doubtless helped to win more victories for Old Gold and Black than any other member of his class. For three successive years, he figured prominently in winning the Intercollegi- ate State championship in Tennis: for two vears he has starred on the basket ball team : he has been indispensable on the track team: and his name is not inconspicuous in baseball and football. Xot only is he prominent in athletics, but he is distinctly identified with all the various interests of the college. He is tall, handsome, an excellent stu- dent, a forceful speaker, and above all a real gentle- man.
