Vincent William Archer Montreal. N. C.
"Everyone lilacs to hear himself hrap"
The original and only genuine "Donkey" — a
combination of the pecuhar and the odd. He
won fame in his first year at Davidson by defeat-
ing "Doc" Siler in a dual Track meet. Smce
then, he has won fame in almost every con-
ceivable way — on the Class gridiron, in the class-
room, and in the dormitories. For several years,
he has been the dependence of the Class fool-
ball team by reason of that good right foot of
his. which has sent many a punt sailing over the
enemy's line. "Donkey" is a bright lad. and
has a peculiarly fafcinating way of saying things
backward that appeals to his hearers. We are
not willing to believe that he has done his best
in every way while in College, and are expecting
to hear great things of him when he gets out :n
the world. He can certainly make a name for
himself if he will.
Joseph Alle.v Avers Ca=s, W. Va.
"Btca in from other ficlh lo gel his final
polish here"
Avers came to us from the broad fields of
Mississippi, after absorbing all that the people
of that State could teach him, to finish his edu-
cation with us. While he has been with us only
one year, we can truly say that he has won a
place for himself by his sterling merit, and is
sincerely liked by all who know h m. Neat,
unobtrusive, good-natured, and gentlemanly, he
is always welcomed in any gathering, yet he does
not spend his time in loafing. Had he roomed
on the campus instead of in the village, we feel
sure that A^'ERS would have made even more
of his one year among us, for we would all
have known him better. Our only regret is that
he came to us in our Senior year instead of in
our Freshman.

BlTZER is master of the difficult art of study-
ing, being able to gel up a whole lesson while
fome of the rest of us are reading the intro-
ductory paragraph. It is not in his make-up to
dissimulate. He believes in letting his colors fly.
and he tells one just what he thinks or doesn't
think. As a friend, he'll stick through thick and
thin. He is a rash ladies' man in theory, but
when it comes to "brass tacks" he shows up miss-
ing. At the start of his College career, BlTZER
was given a little too much to philosophizing, but
a little active service will give him th
toning, and his power to think will

'■/( (a/fC5 more than a fool lo hoU his longue"
"W. K." comes lo us from the North, and
we are glad that he decided to come as far
Soulh as Davidson to pursue his education. Be-
sides attending his classes, he leaves his room
three times a day — for his meals. Verily, he is
the man who put "the stud in study"; but he is
sure of winning out in the end. Quiel in his
ways, he has to be known to be appreciated, but
when once known is truly appreciated. He
leaves with the assurance of being one of the
men whom we know will succeed. We hope to
be able to call him "Doctor" some day, and our
best wishes go with him in search of his Ph.D.

Anderson, S. C.
"Whence is thy learning? Halh thy toil
O'er hoolfs consumed the miilnishl oil?"
Good looking? Well, a man who has posed
as photographers* model ought to be good-looking.
And "Huck" is a ladies' man with it — ask 'em!
But aside from his social activities, "Huck"
has taken time to work hard, and consequently
he has made good, both in his studies and his
athletics. When the football team needed an
able end, "Huck" was always ready — and
somehow ihe other team always found it out.
Popular among his classmates, he carries away
wilh him the good-will and best wishes of every
man on the campus.

"A poUsheJ gentleman, withal!"
"Icky" numbers every man in the Class among

studious, he takes a holiday occasionally — espe-
cially when the boarding-house baseball season
i> at hand, for "Icky" loves his first base — so
well in fact, thai it was once rumored that he
sang first bass; but no just person would make
such an accusation now. It is said that there is
a girl in Pickens, S. C, and — but that is quite
another story. "IcKv" has made good with us,
and for him we predict a bright future.

"An affable and courleoui gentleman"
Dan is a member of that caliber of students
who never have to lie awake at nights wonder-
ing whether they are going to make a pass the
next day. because Mount Ulla's representative
goes South when it comes to tickets. Too, when
Fourteen was battling for the football cup, Cald-
well was one of the mainstays on the team
which captured that coveted honor. In the Lit-
erary Society, the same gentleman shines. O. K.
as he is along these lines, nowhere does DANtEL
Templeton star quite so stellarly as with the
fair sex. "The pains of love be sweeter far,
than all the other pleasures are." he reiterates.
Therefore, we shall be on hand to see the one
who comes at Commencement time to claim that
blue "rag" that has been glistening around here
during the year.

Who can explain this wonder of creation?
Oh. thou gullible youth! JiM really is a wonder.
To know him is to like him — but he does not
purchase his popularity at Scolield's. For JiM
is a true scholar, and much study hath made
him such. He has the "git up and git" in him
that makes a man. Many have been the limes
when Jim has held the line in Class Football;
and a sturdy tackle he was. too. But he was
destined for higher things, and now a "D. C."
reposes on his manly breast. He is one or the
men who have made good all the way round,
and we know that success will be his with a big
S. Luck to you. Jim!

"H'hat 15 il? — Three guesses!"
Crawford stopped talking once, but everybody
prised that he apologized by making
ever since. He can laugh, too. so
ou would think he used "ihree-in-
one ' on it. He was a terror to the Freshmen in
his Sophomore year, but rumor has it that he
received a North-Pole reception one night from
'Dr." Cook and his bovine roommate, since
which he has been sadder and wiser. Crawford
IS a greal walker as well as talker, and has made
a careful survey by feet of all Davidson's future
suburbs. He has tried his hand al almost every-
thing, his head at almost every study, and his
feet once al football. Lately, he joined the
Greensboro Club, and thinks the Gate City to be
much congratulated. Without studying much, he
has taken a srood stand in his class, and revels
in Math. Versatile, hard-headed, jolly, and a
good companion when you know him. is our
nicknameless RoBERT TaYLOR.

"The combine J qualities of a man and a great

Where he got the name "Pete " no one knows,
but "Pete" he is, and "Pete" he will always
be to his College mates. No one has yet been
found who could talk or grin exactly like
"Pete," though many have tried to counterfeit
these charms. As a ladies' man, he is not espe-
cially at home, but you just ought to see him on
the football or baseball field! As captam of the
baseball team, he has infused the men with his
own "pep," and always done what he could for
the honor of the College and the Class. In foot-
ball, he is something of a combination of a war-
horse and brick wall. But he's never so happy
as when in the Chemistry Lab. — and we feel
sure that he will be highly successful in this, his

"Smooth funs the Tvaier Tvherc the broo^ is Jeep"
DuLIN was not. originally, a '14 man. He
entered with the Class of '13. but had the good
sense to drop out a year and become a member
of Ihe illustrious Class of '14. The advantage,
however, was not all on one side. It may be
that he profited by the change — it is certain that
the Class profited, for it gained a man whose
presence would add to any Class. DuLIN is not
very well known among the college men as a
whole, but to those who know him well, he is a
friend worth having. Earnest, studious, ambi-
tious, and alwavs loyal to the interests of the
Class and College, we are glad to be able to
claim him as a *I4 man. He does not make a
fuss about his work, but he always manages to
get his work done someway — and that's the kind
that counts in the end, i:n'l it)

Avon never says much, but everybody on the

and he is never spoken to without calling it out.
He IS a man on whom one can depend, and a
faithful worker, either in his studies, the Sociely.
or on the athletic field. Many an underclass-
man has quailed in class football before his de-
termined onslaught. He is the kind of man that
forms the backbone of the Class, and he leaves
us. a credit to 1914 and to his Alma Mater.
For him we prophecy every success.

"There is always room for a man of power"
A man whj has the God-given faculty of mak-
ing a brilliant success of whatever he under-
takes. "Bo" came to us as a quiet, unassum-
ing, gentlemanly fellow, always attending to his
own business, yet ever ready to lend a helping
hand to a comrade. He has made a name for
himself as a football and baseball star, and at
the same time has led the student body in class
standing with apparently no trouble at all. The
simple fact that he is president of the Student
Body tells more plainly than words where he
stands in the estimation of the students. What
more can a man ask than to be the leader of
the College in athletics, in studies, and in social
and collegiate activities? "Bo" leaves Davidson
with the hearty wishes of every man in College
for his brilliant success, in whatever he shall
undertake.

"Never was man more genial and happy ihan he"
A versatile man, who could have done more
if he would. A crackerjack basket-ball player,
good at baseball, and a star chemist, he is now
developing evidences of ability as a public
speaker. (Don't ask JiM about that — he'll for-
get that he's a Church member.) But if you
want to see JiM shine, put him in a crowd of
ladies, and give him about a minute to get
started. Then watch out! JiM is the kind of
men who make a class what it is — who has done
his work well without being narrowed by close
study, who has made numberless friends and re-
tained them, and who has not forgotten the fact
that he is a gentleman always.

"A /lappj) soul thai, all ihc 7va\i lo Heaven.
Halh a summer's Jay"
This Happy son of WesI Virginia look a room
on ihe lop floor of Chambers when he first came,
and kepi his own counsel strictly for a whole
year. About all we knew about him m his
Fresh year was his strict Methodism. In his
Soph. year, he dropped one floor lower, and
began to thaw out. Then as a Junior he
blossomed into the darling of the campus. His
fame for wil began first in the halls of the
Eumenean Society, where he was certain or
unanimous applause at every word and gesture.
But a good thing cannot be selfishly kept long,
so the Society reluctantly yielded up their humor-
ous idol to the wider fame of the whole hill.
Robert Wesley is an exhaustless bundle of
sunshine: his company a guaranteed cure for
the oloomiest blues; his wit of the kindest sort,
never smacking of the caustic. We are frankly
jealous of the Methodists.

man who first invented sleep"
A boxing boul in his Freshman year caused
this demon to be styled Hercules. It was nat-
urally shortened to "Herc." in order to econ-
omize time in addressing him. In the same year,
he took the Nazarite vow. Some phases of it
have probably been broken, but the razor has
not yet gone upon his face. "Herc's" luck is
a proverb about the campus. He knows all
about the Peace of Utrecht, and why Napoleon
ascended the heights of Marengo. He is also
the inventor of all chapel-culting schemes. He
studies when he feels so disposed, but few are
the tickets he fails. He's some Herc. that's all.

him started, and you have a pretty lively bundle
of energy. He has always been a firm believer
in the superior merits of old *I4, and for several
years he has battled for the class in basket-ball,

"A hanJiomc face I's Nature's best gifl"
Ed is a "tarheel" only temporarily. Al heart,
he is a loyal "sandlapper," his allegiance being
suspended for a time for the sake of expediency.
With his picture here before you, it is useless
to say that he is a good-looking rascal, but the
repetition helps to entrench. Ed is another of
those South Carolinians who simply can't be
held in when it comes to the girls. He and
McGregor "work out" strong together, engender-
ing mutual inspiration to heart trafficking. He
has the lucky gift of a sense of humor to the
keenest extreme; sees the point of a joke before
it is half-grown, and can see the ridiculous in a
Rash. Here's every best wish to our happy Ed.

For versatility and variety of talents, CoACH
IS one of the best in College. He is a good
musician, but not one of the long-haired kind; a
bright student, though not a cranky "boner";
an artist; a writer; a lively conversationalist; a
good class footballist. Perhaps he shines most
brilliantly as a conversationalist, for only rarely
in his career has he treated us to "brilliant
flashes of silence." Full of "pep," he infuses a
sideline crowd as a good cheer leader. CoACH
has town loyalty, too. for. though an artist with
the ladies, he saw to it that his heart was en-
meshed just a little off of the campus. As a
little prophesy from us. CoACH will make good.

Wilson may have his double, and Roosevelt,
loo, but there will always be but a "single
Parson." A moral Galahad; a faithful stu-
dent; conscientious; a veritable Jew at bar-
gains; a terrible enemy lo noisy Freshmen, un-
faithful student-councilmen, and the "moral
lepers'; a waler-drinking and physic-absorbing
fiend; holder of a unique three-year dumpless
record: a "high-loned" orator; joking and joked
wilh, but with friends everywhere — ihis is the
original combination, "Pars." He will stay
single, too, unless he can screw his courage up to
the asking point. The axis of the world slicks
out visibly ihrough Hickory, and Hickory girls
are the best — as long as they are on the other
side of ihe lennis set (Pars is quite a pushing
lennis player). But gel him oft, and he is as
inleresling a chatterer as you'll find — jolly, con-
genial and full of fun. "Good lands a living,
boy"; "Now let me tell
you" — these will be fre-
quent landmarks; but
Pars is a good egg. His

"Spooks" is not one of those fellows who go
about to the sound of drums, bedecked in a lot
of showy tinsel ; but he's always there. He's
rather orthodox — in fact, he still insists that
Doctor Shearej grades his papers by weight. He
has religiously taken a small amount of exercise
in the gym. and spent the rest of his energy
struggling with his College course. If anybody
ever thought they saw him loafing outside of
Rumple porch, it must have been an hallucina-
tion— he doesn't do it. that's all. It is our opinion
that Spooks will give the world value received,
and more.

"A man he is of /loncsll) ami irusi"
The charge of being a politician will never
be marked ud against McEwEN, because he
simply IS not built that way. Things come to
him, and office-seeking is as far from him as the
East is from the West. Mac is a modest,
wholesouled. can-be- relied-upon sort of person-
age. Always appearing cheerful, assiduously
making good grades, doing his duty with a will,
he is one of the best men in the Class. His
ability as a speaker is recognized by all of his
fellows, and 'tis a foregone conclusion that one
of these days he is going to make some staid
congregation sit up and take notice at his ser-
mons. We are lookinp forward to his making
a mark in this old world, a mark of which he
will have a right to be proud.

'The

Girls are strong on eyes — which partly accounts
for Rupert's being such a heart-smasher. And
the same eyes that win the girls introduce him to
men as a man. Thev mirror a personality of
manhness. frankness, honesty, and truth. Mc-
Gregor's best friends are those who know him
most closely; and he has not an enemy, to our
knowledge. We did not know him very well
until his Junior year, but since then we have
taken a peculiar delight in honoring him — from
the Student Council, where we want our best
thinkers, to the Marshalship, where we want our
best lookers. The most conservative betters
amongst U5 are always willing to pul high stakes
on Rupert.

This product of the Palmetto State hails from
that section where they drmk good wine, dispense
genuine Southern hospitality, and believe in rear-
ing good-lookmg damsels — which. perhaps,
accounts for "Inms' " one weakness. Mac is a
faithful student, a crackerjack businessman, a
great churchgoer, an inveterate sleeper, a rec-
ord-breaker on rapid dressing, with a penchant
for the epistolarian art; of a nervous tempera-
ment, and possessed of that aforesaid glaring
predilection — he is crazy about the ladies.
Though "fearfully and wonderfully made " when
it comes to attributes, the gentleman from South
Carolina is a fine chap, all wool and a yard
wide. "Shine* is his favorite expression, and
Rev. Neill McInnis and WIFE is his ambition.

"Men of /eHJ coords are the best men"
"Stump" is a unique man. We never saw
htm gel mad. He always goes about with a
genial good humor that wins and keeps friends,
and a never-failing good nature that can sec
the doughnut instead of the hole. StuMP can
be dignified, though, and sometimes utters phil-
osophic truths and solemn conclusions with a
Delphi-oracular air that would humble any
Freshman. You can always find him at home,
from 2.00 to 2.15 every afternoon, on Rumple
Porch, leaning against one of the pillars; and
on festive davs and the first of the month
smoking a cigar almost as big as he is. His only
failing IS an aversion to sweet discourse with the
fair sex, and he has already signed for a reserva-
tion in the Bachelor's Hall of Fame. But we
prophecy that there will eventually be a "lime
and lied" in the life of ihis earnest, genial, big-
hearted fellow. Some tell him he ought to be
a "STUMP-speaker"; but he has decided to have
his letters addressed. Rev.

chemist of the Class, and what he doesn't know
about that subject would fill only a very thin

hour, where he will extend to you a most hos-
pitable greeting. In short, MenZIES is a capital

ness, possessed of pleasing manners, a studious
mind, and an indomitable will. No one knows
what he is going to do for a livelihood during
the rest of his days, but whatever sphere in life
he chooses will be filled by a man of diligence

"An inlellecl of hiihesi aorlh, a heart of pureil

In every class there stand out a very few men
who are born leaders, and Marvls is one of
those few. For four years he has had a place
in the confidence and affection of both faculty
and students that few men ever have. .As a
member of the Student Council, he has guarded
with extreme diligence those stcred principles
which Davidson cherishes. Whether editing the
Annual, in the debating arena, or engaged in
any other activity, the honor of the College has
always been his aim. He is a man whom all
classes of students respect and admire, whom
the faculty rely upon, and whose departure from
Davidson will leave a large vacancy. To say
that he is a graceful orator, a debater of excep-
tional force, a writer, an exceptional student,
does not fully describe him. for more tha.i all

"My strength is as the strength of ten
Because my heart is pure"
Ed came here a mere striphng of a lad, but
leaves — a man from the ground up. He is one
of these triangular chaps, constituted accordine
to that well-balanced formula of the Y. M. C. A..
which means that he is a good athlete, a good
frtudent, a good boy. Quiet, thoroughly reliable,
steady, and unsophisticated. As president of the
ministerial band, and captain of the gym team, he
has been "Johnny on the spot," and it is not go-
ing far wrong to say that he will make a success
at whatever he attempts. He is bound for Union
Seminary, so he says, and we anticipate for him
a D.D. before many years. May the dews of
heaven fall thick in blessings on him.

"He did nothing in particular, and did it TVell"
From the time that William Rugcles made
the first perfect mark on Bible for the Class
of 1914, until he passed seven tickets last Fall,
he has — no, not made the Honor Roll each term,
but has made a place for himself in the esteem
of his fellows. In fact, he hcs done everything
else except make the Honor Roll, from playing
the Y, M. C, A. organ in the wee sma' hours of
the morning to spending the afternoons of his
Senior year in laboratories — including being
out one day for Class football. He knows the
names of all the animals, insects, and reptiles
in South America, and calls the islands of the
South Sea by their first names. He's an enigma
to most people, but rub elbows with him, and
you'll find him a thoroughly good fellow.

"There was a \ioung feltoru named PiM

lad. withal, a regular jack at all trades, and
good at moii of them. Besides his athletic
ability, he is no mean musician. He has a rich,
full voice, and his musical talent is also ex-
pended on the melodion. There is also a current
rumor that he can play a valve trombone, but
as this was not given for publication, we won't
vouch for its truthfulness.
But we all like him. He has made good in
his studies, and in the Literary Societies; and
success is in store for him.

Allhough RaTCHFORD is the Zaccheus of our

you make the mistake of insulting his dimmulive
dignity and importance, you are liable to find
that he's little but loud. "Ratch" is quite a
warrior of the tennis court, as many an opponent
will testify. In Society, he is famous for suit-
ing the length of his speeches to that of himself.
but occasionally he surprised us with an eloquent
foretaste of Junior-Senior Speaking. "Brevity
is the soul of wit." and RaTCH is always ready
with a joke, a gibe and a laugh. He is alwavs
neat, always pleasant, and always on the job
when it comes to business. He is a man who has
developed greatly since he entered College, who
has proved himself a thoroughly likable com-
panion, and who will not soon be forgotten by
his classmates.

"Men of brains are inJicaleJ fcy if>eir feet"
Behold the gentleman of the numerous initials
and the modest grin. SiSKE is a man for whom
Colleqe life has done wonders, and no man in
the Class has developed more in the past two
years than this same gentleman. His marked
fondness for Greek, and his deadly aversion to
all forms of outdoor exercise except walking,
are his chief characteristics — unless an appetite
can be counted a characteristic. SiSKE can do
much if he will, for he has ability in a high
degree, and the fact that he has not been on the
Honor Roll for four years is simply a tribute to
his good judgment, for he sought other things
than book knowledge: and. if our word may be
taken, he has gained what he sought in large
measure. He is a man who must be known to
be appreciated, but when once known is never
forgotten. .A good debater, a good orator, and
a man of unusuallv sound judgment, we predict
for him a bright future.

"Much corn lies under the straHf that's not seen"
"Crooked." our only represenlative from
Rock Hill who stood to his guns for the whole
four years, is a man of few words. He be-
lieves in minding his own business, and not
meddling in things that do not concern him.
However, he is far from anything like cynicism.
Penetrate his slight covering of reserve, and you
find a ready and sprightly wit. He goes "strait"
for the hard things that most of us are afraid of
— as witness his taking both Junior Chemistry
and Junior Biology in the same year, with their
labs so endlessly long. "Crooked" is certainly
"all there" — and here's our health to him in
whatever he undertakes.

the unanimous vote of the student body for the

though he really does not deserve the name at
all. There are few men in the Class who have
taken the part that Chink has in the Class
athletics, or who have considered the interest of
old Fourteen more than he has done. He was
once persuaded lo be a sport, and "work out"
with the ladies, and they have been clamoring
for a sight of him since, but Chink says
"nevermore." There's only one original Chink
in the world, and we have him here — a like-
able, good-natured. popular fellow. always
pleasant, and always a friend lo those who know

HisVoryj Nineteen Fourteen
^ 1^ '' HE Fall of 1910 will always be a date pecul'arly dear and lasting in the
A '^ memories of a certain band of one hundred and thirty young fellows, for it was
^""^ on that memorable date that the goal idealized for so many years had finally
become real, and as the Class of 1914 this band of youths enrolled themselves as Fresh-
men at the Alma Mater of their fathers, brothers, and uncles — the College whose glories
they had heard sung from time immemorial.
As Freshmen, we were treated in a similar manner to those who had preceded
us. Although real hazing had been stopped a year before, the Sophomores were always
"on the job," and we never lacked attention at their hands. However, before the season
had hardly opened, we had distmguished ourselves, and accomplished a feat that had
never been done before in the history of Davidson. In the annual baseball game between
the Sophomores and Freshmen, we drove the Sopti pitchers from the mound, and defeated
them by a large score. Right then it became evident that enlisted under the banner of '14
were some of the most promising of young athletes.
Football season opened, and here 1914 was well represented. It must be
remembered that it was a Freshman who took in a fumble and made the touchdown
against Carolina in 1910.
But not alone in athletics did our excellencies consist — for at the end of the term
there were to be found more Freshman names on the "Honor roll than had ever been
found before or since from a Freshman class."
After the Summer vacation, we returned to the hill much delighted to be Soph-
mores. It was soon seen that a few had perished in the whirlpools and cross-currents of
the sea of knowledge, thus leaving the original band somewhat smaller in numbers. Of
^^^^
„ QUIPS iHCRANKS^
our Sophomore year we are justly proud. In the Fall, it was a product of ' 1 4 that led
the college in marks by a good margin. The following Spring, it was the Sophmores who
defeated all contesting rivals, and won the football cup. Then followed the Banquet in
Charlotte, which was admitted to be the best thai was ever pulled off. For 1914, it will
certainly be an occasion never to be forgotten. Dr. Sentelle, Professors Douglas and
Currie were there to lend experience, wisdom, and wit to the occasion.
It is to Dr. H. L. Smith that we give the credit of safely guiding us over the first
two and hardest years in our struggle to atta-n the "sheepskin," the modern emblem of
knowledge. But at the beginning of our Junior year Dr. W. J. Martin was given the
chair of control, and to him we looked for guidance in the remain-ng two years of our
course. Again in this year we won the football championship, and so the cup, which
must soon be ours. In the Spring, we contested with the Seniors for the baseball cham-
pionship; but luck broke with the Seniors. It was during this year also that we were all
given a very rare privilege, namely: the opportunity for manifesting our wisdom and learn-
ing in the form of an oration before an audience we were ever ready to please and impress.
No one can doubt now that we succeeded nobly.
When the roll was called for the last lap of our course, only about forty-eight
answered to their names. But the remaining few continued in that spirit of harmony,
progress, and unity which characterized them from the first. By this time so many of our
men had made their Varsity or Scrub letter, that the Class team was quite reduced in
strength, and we lost the coveted cup. Our course is not over yet, but the end is in sight,
and it cannot be long before that earnestly desired "DIP" is ours.
When the end of our college days has come, and we enter into the business of
life, within a world cold, cheerless, and dreary, certainly those who learned to fight,
master, and win at the Alma Mater of their own, their fathers, brothers, and uncles, will
in that same courageous spirit seek and find success.

N 1 HE fifth day of the ninth month ol the year eleven, there was mourn'ng
throughout the land, for the darhng sons of an hundred and eight households
were departing on the pilgrimage in quest of wisdom. And their parents thereat
did weep (as d d they themselves, shedding tears not a few) ; but even so they
set out, clad in new and strange garments, and having like ones in their trunks.
At the halls of Davidson did they meet on the morrow, to attend the older
knights who before them had essayed the ardous journey — to some of whom remained
but one year of trial. And here were the five score and eight Green Men, for so the
youngest were called, divided among the companies to be menials, until they had acquired
wsdom enough to be fools. Some were in the company called Watts, some in the
Chambers, and others in Rumple and among the Georgians.
So they set out on their first year's journey, and began the search for wisdom.
Now as they went their way, it seemed that wisdom was strewn and buried in little stones
along the way, and verily at times the digging therefor was arduous. And some fainted
at the sight of the task, and refused to gather, and others delayed to rise with the day to
cons'der their search. For this, some, when ten times they had lain idle in the morning,
were sent weeping away until they should learn more diligence.
Now as they went on, the vanity of the Green Men increased, and they did hire
a maker of pictures to portray their hkeness as they stood in company assembled. But
the thing was noised abroad, and the wise fools among their fellows, being filled with
jealousy, came upon them when they were met together, and cast water on them, and there
was great consternation. But when their clothes were dried, they betook them to the
artist again, in secret, and he did shoot them.
And it came to pass, when the required number of weeks were fulfilled, that the
youths were required every one to show to those in command over them the number and
manner of stones which they had gathered. And those among them who had not gathered
were commanded not to return after the days of absence and rest which were granted.
But seven there were, a goodly number, who were given honors as being the best searchers
for wisdom.
But not only in gathering wsdom were these Green Men concerned, but also in
making to themselves names. Some acquired renown for prowess in sporing with a pig
skin, and some with the ball and bases, and others among them by their manner of speak-
^ ^5
r^OUIPS ffljSCRANKS^
ing, and by sundry other means. And one there was to whom was given the name
"Snipe," for he was a mighty hunter for this manner of fowl, for they all abounded along
the first part of the journey.
So journeying, the band of youths grew in their store of wisdom, but because of
the sap in their heads these parts did swell. Therefore, when they had returned to renew
their journey after the days of heat where wisdom could not be found, they were called
the wise fools. And at this time some did join them who were green also, and with much
labor did they obtain a welcome with them.
Now as they went on in this their second year, it seemed good to them to appomt
a night, and on it to have good cheer and fellowship together, and rest from the weariness
of gathering learning. And then there was such a goodly time as is not often seen among
men, for all were clothed in fair raiment, and some were appointed to rejoice the minds
of their companions with seemly words, while food and drink did gladden their hearts.
But on the following m.orning there was a refraining from rising, and a strange taste in
the mouth of the youths.
As this and other things did con-e to pass, it seemed that the swelling of heads
was departing, and there was an increase in wisdom, so that the youths knew that they
knew nothing. But some there were who found marvelous things ere this came to pass,
for one did find an ancient animal such as hath not been seen by man, nay not by tjie
ancients, even a trilobite, and great fame was his therefor. But some say that he saw a
vision.
Thus as they traveled, the second year, too, did pass, and again they rested from
their quest. And in the tenth month they came again to take up their journey, and were
now called The Younger Ones, for now they had been fully turned from their folly and
did begin to grow.
In this year did their wisdom increase, so that men marveled thereat, but they
themselves did trenr.ble, because their wisdom was too great for certain of their com-
panions, who had fallen away, to the half of their first number. Moreover, those who
guided them, seeing their increase in knowledge, did decree that they everyone should
speak unto the people in a clear voice, telling them of the wonders of wisdom. And thereat
was great trerr.bling and smiting of knees, yea, the knees of the writer hereof do also
tremble, and his hand, as w^th palsy. Therefore must his pen be stopped, and the history
be kept in silence until this terrible thing be come to pass.

c
HE silver moon is a silver boat
In a Sliver tinted sky ;
And would that just we two might float,
Together in that silver boat,
And watch the clouds go by.
And in that silver boat there'd be
No one but you and I.
There'd be no one around to see.
And time would pass most pleasantly.
And years would roll on by.
And always we would happy be.
As we sailed through the sky.
Twould carry only you and me —
No need for others would there be —
And years might roll on by.
It is a silver tinted dream.
This moon and boat and sky.
And yet how wonderful 'twould seem
If we might sail that endless stream
And let the years go by — -
Together — you and I.

Sojpli Class Historij
HNOTHER year has passed, with its snares and pitfalls, and again comes the
task of the historian to record both the successes and failures of '16. Ever
since our entrance, we have gone straight ahead to win distinction for our-
selves, and honors for our Class — in the classroom, on the athletic field, and
in every branch of college life.
Although we are now m our second year, we can with little trouble remember
our first visit to the Hill — how we were treated by the Sophs; remarkably well, consider-
ing that we were only Fresh. The Sophs certainly upheld the high standard of our
honor system, especially that article forbidding hazing; for, with the exception of a few
harmless wettings, we were allowed to pass unmolested through our career as Freshmen.
This good example was not in vain, for never have Freshmen been better treated than the
members of the 1917 Class. The first week after their arrival, a few of them got a little
damp, but since then they have been spending their first year among us in peace. Let us
hope that hazing at Davidson will forever be a thing of the past, and that the honor
system will always be honored and obeyed.
When we gathered at Davidson this year as mighty Sophs, there were a number
of old faces missng, but when we numbered the faithful, we found that there were still
one hundred loyal supporters of 16. Soon after our arrival, we gathered and elected
officers for the year. L. A. Mullen was elected President; J. P. Williams, Vice-Presi-
dent; W. G. Morrifon, Secretary-Treasurer, and W. C. Copeland, Yell Leader. We
also selected as our Class yell, one composed by Copeland. At a later meeting, we chose
Mullen as Toastmaster of the Soph Banquet, and W. G. Morrison, Manager. Since
the banquet has come off, we justly feel that it was indeed the "best ever held"; and
every man there fell amply repaid for going.
Imm.ediately after our arrival, in the Fall, we got down to the real work of
"shooting" the professors, and we have had rather an up-hill contest, having had to fight
against a Sophomore's inclination and nature, for everyone knows that they do not have

ka
any loo much love for their studies. So far, we have been very successful, and although
there was not a multitude who made the honor roll, most of us managed to squeeze through,
at any rate.
Our athletic stars have been far more numerous than our honor men. Even in
our Fresh year, we had a number of men on the Varsity teams, and pushed the upper
classes hard in the class athletic contests. This year, a greater number of men made the
football team and won their D's than last year. We had a good class team, and although
we did not win the championship, we put up a hard fight. We are confidently expecting
to be well represented on the Varsity baseball and track teams this Spring.
On the whole, we consider our Soph year a success, and feel certain that our
endeavors have not been in vain. We have tried to be diligent and faithful in our studies,
and we feel that it has been the brightest and most beneficial year that we have so far
experienced. We only hope that we can fare as well in the future as we have while Sophs.

^■^1 EPTEMBER ihe fourth. 1913. will always be a memorable dale for the Class of 1917. for
fc^H^ it was then that we gathered on the old "Hill." one hundred and twenly-lhree strong, and
£ W began our career as a Class. As we look back now, from the viewpoint of a more extensive
' experience, we can realize how we must have appeared — but then, we all have to be Fresh
some time or other, and it is a matter of pride to us that we could have our Freshman days in an insti-
tution where new men are not looked upon as being created solely for the pleasure and amusement of
the upper classmen.
Our first few days and weeks were but the repetition of those through which every Freshman Class
has passed. We were frankly afraid— afraid of everything and everybody except the other Freshmen,
and sometimes were even afraid of them. Not that the upper classmen did anything to make us afraid of
them — on the contrary, they all did everything in their power to make things pleasant and aggreeable for
us. The Sophs, as we expected, came around to visit us occasionally, but beyond a few wettings and
"dumpings" we did not suffer even at their hands. Thanks be that we came to Davidson after hazing.
as it was in the old days, had been abolished!
Soon after our arrival, we elected officers for the year, and selected our class colors — which up
to that lime had consisted of the one color, green. After we had organized thus far. it was considered
necessary for us to have a picture, and we had a meeting for the purpose — but it rained, as it always
does at Davidson when the Fresh get together. However, we finally succeeded in having one picture made.
While it is still far too early to characterize our work for the year as a success or a failure, we
feel that it has been more of the former than the latter. In athletics, we have been more successful than
a Freshman Class has a right to expect, and hope to be able to keep up our record in the three years
which lie ahead of us. The whole Class did not succeed in making the honor roll, but we were at least
represented, and will no doubt do better in the future.
On the whole, our year, if not a brilliant success, has at any rate been a very pleasant and profit-
able one, and we can wish no better for the succeeding Freshman Classes than that they will be treated
as well as we have been.

Tlic College Girl
HE rose leaf flushes in her cheeks;
The sunshine glitters in her hair;
Her hps a challenge, when she speaks
And shows the pearls embedded there.
Upon the campus, down the streets.
She sets our raptured brains awhirl ;
We follow in her train, discreet.
She rules us all — the College girl.
What matter if the lights seem dark.
And studies throw us in a daze?
She has the power to drop a spark
That lights our minds with sudden blaze.
A thousand other girls may strive
The D. C. banner to unfurl;
There's only one sweet maid alive —
We love her, all — the College girl.
Let other students boast the grace
Of girls for whom they claim the prize;
We love one perfect form and face.
With features rare, and starry eyes.
This lass of whom I sing today.
Of glowing cheeks and hair a-curl,
When leaving D. C. fades away
And dies in dreams — the College girl.

Dr. Howard B. Arbuckle
chemistry
It is with a feeling of peculiar pride that we claim Dr.
Arbuckle as a member of our Faculty. He has been with us
only one year, yel in that year he has won for himself a last-
ing place m the hearts of all Davidson men, by the beauty of
his character and the earnestness of his nature. A man who
shows unassumed. simple friendliness to all. who always has a
word or smile of encouragement, and a man of lofty Christian
principles, we are proud to call him a Davidson man.
Dr. Charles N. Wunder
astronomy
Dr. Wunder came to us unheralded from that State which
has produced so many "wonders"— Virginia, and we hope that
It will be many a year before he sees fit to leave his duties at
Davidson to return to that State. Dr. Wunder is strongly
mterested in all forms of athletics, and lost no time in showing
his interest. He has won to him all those who have been so
fortunate as to know him, and it is our hope that his presence
may lend encouragement for years to come.

Cosby was equally good on offense and defense, and always played brilliantly
He was absolutely sure on a tackle, and seldom failed to gain his distance when
carrying the ball. "Pud" was one of the mainstays of the team, and a man that
will live in Davidson athletic history as a star end. That touchdown against
Wake Forest last Fall, and his playing against A. & M. the year before — to say
nothing of all the other limes — would entitle him to Davidson's athletic Hall of
Fame.

" The feature of the game was the playing of Crayton at end," etc. That

.Although his first try-out for Varsity, he made a place m the first game, and
held it with credit throughout the season.

"Sum." our lilliputian elephant, is the man who brought the average of the

remarkably good game for a new man.

An operation during the Summer kept "Dutch" out of the game until the
Thanksgiving mix-up. But he came back with a vengeance then, much to Wake
Forest's discomfiture. And time after time he made brilliant runs around end,
and wiggled through holes when there seemed to be no hole. He also very
effectively look McKinnon's place as punier for the team, and really made his
letter in that game.
Halfhack
Weight, 168; height, 5 feet 10 inches
When "Steve" tackled a runner, he knew thai a man had hit him, and that
runner Hkewise fell the contact with Mother Earth. He had a special adaptability
for handling forward passes — for both sides — usually managing to get those that
belonged to him, and the other fellows, too. He never loafed in practice, and
his work in the games bore witness to the fact.
McKlNNON t Fullback
Weight. 185; height, 5 feet II inches
Ju«l when he was finding his stride, "Mac" got his collarbone broken, and
was laid up the last of the season. He had a "boot" on him that measured up
to any team we met. and thereby rescued us from many a close place. His line
plunging likewise gained many a yard for the Red and Black machine. He
tackled fiercely, and held on tenaciously. We are counting on him for next year.

"Summertiml" upset the dope, for instead of the mildness which his name
would imply he is a veritable whirlwind. He was counted on by Coach to make
a large part of the end runs, and he showed ihal the right man had been picked.
This was his first vear in football, and with a year's experience he should be one
of D. C.'s best.
Keesler FuUbacI;
Weight, 128; height. 5 feet 5 inches
"Just watch little Keesler run, " is what the fellows said when practice began
last Fall. "How little Keesler did run," is what they said about him at A. &
M.. after the game; but you had belter not ask an A. & M. man about it.
Keesler is a natural football player, very fast, a good side-stepper, and a sure
tackle. If he shows the ability next year that he did this, and with his added
experience, he should make a second Tiny Graham.

You know the manager is the man who rides around over the country with the
team, and looks prosperous. Of course he has no place on the team — all he has
to do is buy the tickets, count the men to see that all are there, show 'em to the
ticket collector, order the eggs and toast, buv the chewing gum, see that there's
a sponge and some muddy H-0 on the field. Of course, he has a few little
things like advertising, selling the tickets, seeing that the officials get theirs, and
making the game pay. Then he's the man who lends all the fellows on the team
money ; gets cussed out for his inconsideration if we lose, and a few other little
things like arranging a schedule that suits every member of the student body —
that's Lex.

^^^^ HE strength of a pyramid depends largely upon its base or foundation, and so it is that the
M '^k qualities of the Varsity which insure its lasting fame, upon investigation could often be traced
^L^^ directly to the Scrubs. These are the men who bear the brunt of the grueling scrimmage
day after day. sacrificing iheir own interests to the advancement of the first team. These arc
the downtrodden, long-suffering, ever-enduring martyrs to the glorious cause of a Davidson football team.
But do not think for a moment that they are not a healthy handful for the Varsity to manage sometimes.
So let us remember the Scrubs when we recount the glowing achievements of the Varsity men.
And lei us remember also that many of our foremost heroes "rise from the ranks." So this band of
uncouth worthies, "unknown, unhonored. and unsung," is not at all without prospects. The man who gels
a D. C. one year, and returns the followmg year to win renown on the first team, is just the kind of
man that we need. And there have been many of this class here in the past.
Then here's to you. Scrubs, you little bow-legged, rough-necked veterans. We'll nol forget you,
knights of the tattered jersey, for we have seen in you all the nerve and grit, endurance and fightmg mad-
ness that go to make up that well-known, universally honored, glorious thing called Davidson spirit.
So here's a health to you, members of the second team. You may be Scrubs; but you're good
ones, and we are justly proud of you.

HEN the season of 1912 ended, il looked as if Coach Cook would have almost enough
Varsity men back with which to start a team for 1913. But alas, those who had
adorned their sweaters with those much envied "D's" began to fall by the wayside. So
that when College opened in September, only three of the warriors — Howell, Cosby,
and Peters — could be found. About these, the coach and captain must build a learn.
HOT! Well, if you have never spent an hour or so on the red surface of Sprunt Athletic Field,
you can't appreciate that little monosyllable. The tall wiregrass seemed lo be a perfect tropical jungle,
for "monkeys" were grmnmg from every blade. And then, out there where the grass doesn't grow, it's
an embryonic Sahara, with red dust in the place of glistenmg sand. Perspiration? No. just plain old-
fashioned sweat. And so the prelimmanes moved along, while everybody on the squad thought longingly
of those eight places to be filled, and dreamed likewise of the dopes and peanuts at Skils. or that pastime
made famous by Sir Walter Raleigh.
Manager Kiuttz imported the Piedmont Institute team for the first conflict. They looked pretty
well, and all was wonderment as to what the outcome would be; and the Coach made it plain lo the
squad that the men who started that game were not necessarily the best men there — in fact, there were
plenty others there just as good, and better. But when everybody in that lot except the center and
guards made a touchdown, they were sent in for a bath. And that night it was still in doubt who would
go lo Clemson for the first real affair.
Clemson was paying

lenses, so the trip was made in a chair car. Brady and "Slimuel" served
me. the Techs on a fluke made a touchdown at the very be^nning — and
kicked a placement, and the game ended 6-3.
And now all was centered in the game with the University of North Carolina, in Greensboro.
All the students that could raise five dollars went down to lend their moral — and immoral — support.
Carolina came up with the whole squad. It was still hot! The little red machine was not badly fright-
ened by the Carolina brawn. The game was anybody's until, worn out by sheer force of the numbers of
fresh men, the fates gave one touchdown to the White and Blue. Both teams left disappointed. We
hoped to win; they expected a few more touchdowns.
Come to think about it, the less said about the A. & M. game the better. But then they were
South Atlantic Champions — and we will just remind you here that Keesler made a fifty-yard run for a
touchdown. That boy "shore" did run.

last, but in no wise least, a certain Miss Jones. She very kindly served as headquarters for the team;
but for particulars ask Bo Elliott or McKinnon.
Newberry next came to see us. They were elated over a recent victory, and claimed to expect
our scalp. Our team, a bit too confident, put up a poor exhibition, but got away with a score of 32 to 0.
This game cost McKlinnon a broken collarbone; and our punter was gone, while South Carolina loomed
up on the horizon.
This Palmetto team of Red Edgerlon's was stronger than usual, but we kept up hope, and pointed
to the fact that they had never beaten us at home, and seldom away from home. However, they played
better than ever, broke our precedent, and shrouded the campus in gloom.

How much of a success this season was, we leave to you. We have had better seasons — likewise
worse. But it must be remembered that Coach Cook had to make a new team. Also, let it be borne in

IT'S a known fact that one can never tell — one may only conjecture. So what can be said about
our baseball lean\ for the coming season? For. as a matter of fact, when this "dope" appears
you will know more about the team than we are even able to conjecture now. Nevertheless, the
outlook for a wlnnmg team this Spring is pretty good right now. The weather man so far ha?
not been very considerate this Sprmg, but every time old Sol has been good enough to lend a
few rays there has been all kinds of limbering up gomg on. and all are eagerly waiting for the big show
to start.
Five of last year's regulars — Captain Crayton. Kluttz, Witherington, Brown, and Osteen — are in
school again this Sprmg. and ought to serve as an inspiring nucleus about which to build a team. But
there are a number of new men here who look as if they have the idea of making somebody hustle
for the places. Among the new men who look good are Walker. Sommerville. Currie, Panella. Stough,
Chnstenbury. Coach Cook is not making any predictions at this juncture; but we all seem to have a
hunch, and expect big things.

^ ^ " HE usual free-for-all lournamenl was held early m October last Fall, and there were a greater
M /^^ number of evenly-matched teams than usual. The entire tournament was highly inlerestmg
ft ■ from start to finish, and the first tournament resulted m the wreath of victory being placed on
^^^^^ the brow of that lengthy team composed of Pim and Johnson.
The singles tournament, however, was a complete surprise, in at least one particular.
It was usually conceded that Crawford would walk away with the first place, but it was also considered
a settled fact that either Pim or Johnson would easily secure second berth. .As a matter of fact, however.
Crawford won first, and Cranford second. This enabled them to challenge Pim and Johnson for the title
in doubles, which they did. The result was a victory for Crawford and Cranford, and consequently
they composed the Intercollegiate team for the year.
A trip to Trinity College resulted disastrously for Davidson, as we lost in both singles and doubles
But this defeat was largely offset by a signal victory over Guilford, in both singles and doubles, here
"on the Hill." Some Spring games are contemplated, and we hope for a series of victories unmarred by
defeat.

Advice Vo Gummers
(A gummer is an uninlermilient pest, who seeks to perfect friendship by the
steam-roller methods, and is utterly blind to all hints and implications. Do you know one?)
IT'S very nice to have a friend who's always kind and true.
But to stick around and stick around, I surely would not do.
Ah, Friendship is a beauteous thing, as everybody knows.
But sometimes let your poor friend have a chance to change his clothes.
To be the very bestest friend is nothing short of grand.
But don't go round and look as if you'd like to hold his hand.
^'es! smile when he smiles joyously; at his misfortunes weep;
But try at least, when night comes on, to give him time to sleep!
A best friend is a sacred thing; you'll never have one twice.
But sometimes let him rest a bit from hearing your advice.
That he'll forget you when you're gone do not be apprehensive.
And don't wear out the poor boy's chairs, for chairs are so expensive!
And let him sometimes see the world without your sheltering arms,
For some day he must face that world, its dangers and its harms.
In short, don't act as if to say: "If you should go below.
At the furnace gates down yonder, I'll be waiting for you, Joe!"

O M E . ye disconsolate
miserable Freshmen.
List while this wonder-
ful lale 1 unfold;
Come ye from Georgia.
W atts. Rumple, and
Chambers:
Stay till the whole of
my slory is lold.
'Tis a fantastical tale 1
will tell you —
Ponder it deeply, nor let it depart;
Think on its precepts, and learn from its teach-
ings;
Treasure them all in the depths of your heart.
First 1 must tell you the scene of my story —
'Tis here — the College we all know so well.
But if you'd have me go more mto details.
It is a lale of old Chambers I tell.
In the dim past, far back in the seventies
Then were the facultv onlv small bovs.
Helper, indeed, was a child in his cradle—
"Tis said he made a most horrible noise.
Bui to go back to the tale I am telling.
There came to College the Fall of one year
One man possessed of an aspect so dismal
All said he looked most exceedingly queer.
And when they asked him to tell what his name
was.
He replied to them in sad. dismal tones.
That the thing given to him at baptism.
Summed up in tolo was Archibald Jones.
Having said this he shut up like a mousetrap.
Never again did he utter a sound.
He formed no friendships, nor did he want einv.
But solitarily tramped he around.
For many nights it was thought that he studied
As he went straight to his room, locked his door.
nd locked both hi;
seen nevermore.
Pulled up his transom,
wmdows,
.And until mornmg was
But soon (was noticed he knew not his lessons —
He seemed but waiting for class to get through.
Then when folks thought of these long nightly
vigils.
They began wondering: "X^Tiat can he do?"
There was a certain young student in College,
lust what his name was I can't think today.
'Tis said he came here a seeker of knowledge.
But as to that — well. I really can't say.
But he was filled with that curse, curiosity.
Other folks' business he pondered much more
Than his own matters, and CMie day in passing.
Came to a halt before Archibald's door.
Heed now my words, oh. ye innocent Freshmen!
Think on them carefully when you're alone.
He would have been safe if. stead of attending
Other folks* business, he'd minded his own.
But he did not. but with movements called catlike
Softly he knelt at the corridor floor.
Next he apolied his left eye to the keyhole.
And then w-hat do you suppose that he saw?
There at the table was Archibald seated.
Flushed was his cheek, and his eves flashed and
rolled—
.■\s he caressed it. and blessed it. and pressed it —
There on the table — a great heap of gold!
Can you imagine our friend on the ouiside?
See his amazement, his petrified stare?
\\ ith that left eye from his head almost popping
Through the old keyhole — he seemed rooted
there !
Gold! Countless thousands lay there on the table!
Gold! ^'es. a fortime kmgs might not despise!
Gold! \X ith its promise of pleasure and power!
Can we but wonder he felt some surprise?

Then like a thunderbolt left he the keyhole!
Jumned to his feel, and with one mighlv shove
Precipitated himself at the doorway.
And crashed right through the glass transom
above!
Into the room like a wild streak of lightning
Came he headforemosl. Grabbed Archibald's
head.
Bit him and scratched him, and strangled and
mauled him,
And in two minutes the miser was dead!
Threw he himself on that heap on the table.
Pressed and caressed it, but soon naused for fear.
I hinking that folks who should hear the pro-
ceedings
Might think the whole thing just a little bit queer.

Just ihcn a most diabolical projecl
1 o his cerebrum from hell did arise.
He thought of those hollow columns of Cliambers
Which held the portico up lo the skies.
In one of those darksome pits he would hide him.
From such a grave he could never come back.
So. without worrying more on the matter.
He tied poor Archibald up in a sack.
Down in that column he dumped him headfore-
most;
Laughed he with glee when the bones hit the
ground;
Thought that his worries and troubles were ended.
But stop! Say. what was that horrible sound?
It was a wail, long drawn-out. and expressing
The untold agonies of a lost soul.
Trembled and thrilled like a shriek of the dying.
Rose up and swelled from the mouth of the hole!
But the scared mortal had waited no longer,
Down the dark staircase like lightning he flew.
Parted forever from Davidson College,
But — just think of it — he took the gold, too!
Where he had gone they could never discover.
Where he slopped running they never could tell.
But the one thing that all people agreed on
Was. that forever in terror he'd dwell.
But even now in the arcades of Chambers
We may hear, sometimes, the hollow-voiced tones
Of that sad Shylock that asks for his ducats.
That is the spirit of Archibald Jones!
.Ah yes. in truth there's no rest for the weary.
He cannot sleep, now his treasure is gone;
So every night when the lights have been lowered
Wanders he, ever alone and forlorn.
Some nieht perhaps, when you're walking
through Chambers,
You'll feel a wind that is icy and cold-
Something will touch you — 'twill be wet and
clammy ;
Something will whisper: "Oh, where is my gold?"
Then friend, delay not. but run like the dickens,
Gel yourself quickly lo fire and light.
Cross yourself fervently — Heaven will help you.
Spirits, at that sign, will leave you in fright.
But if you question the truth of my story,
Down in that column you'll find all the bones
Of that bad mortal, whose name, as he told them.
Summed up in loto was .Archibald Jones!

My Oia Frat P*m
I'M A plain old business plodder, who don't give a rap for frills.
And I'm worried less by fashions than I am by stocks and bills;
Though my w fe insists that in me Nature planned a perfect man,
I'm afraid that I'm not building in accordance with that plan.
I have never owned a watch, or worn a chain or fob or ring.
And in fact I'm out of sympathy with all that sort of thing,
i indulge no taste for baubles, yet what thoughts come thronging in
When I see some college youngster "flash" the old "Frat" pin.
At the sight of that old emblem I forget that I am gray,
And my pulse beats just as strongly as upon that far-off day
When a band of student brothers taught me mystic grip and sign.
And I rode their goat in triumph, and that shining badge was mine.
Father Time has not been idle, and those boys of long ago
Now are scattered far and widely, and their heads are crowned with snow,
But their hearts, I know, beat warm.ly, for they keep alive within
All the principles embodied in that old "Frat" pin.
How my thoughts go flying backward to youth's iridescent day.
When the world all lay before me and hope beckoned on the way!
Now another generation claims the center of the stage.
While I'm ready to write "Finis" at the bottom of my page.
I'll confess a strange emotion sets my very soul aglow
As I greet again by proxy those old boys of long ago.
How it starts my nerves a-tingling! How it warms my heart withm.
When I couple past and present with that old "Frat" pin!

K
H ! years of life sit lightly on your head
Nor have they left their furrows on your brew:
E'en now we seem to see the youth that's dead.
And girlhood seems to linger even now.
Although that life has run full many a year,
It must have been one gladsome summer time ;
We see no traces of the sigh nor tear;
No discord marks the meter of that rhyme.
And still the fortes of girlhood we descry.
Nor has time ever frightened them away —
We see the tnppmg step, the droopmg eye
As it was in that golden yesterday.
The memories of long forgotten years
This day come trooping in with all their train;
You see the joys, the griefs, the smiles, the tears.
They pass today before you once again.
And so today we would salute you queen.
And if that brow with silver now is crowned.
Then silver, where the gold one time was seen.
We reverence, where the gold one time was found.

became part of our Faculty this year, but it is our first opportunity to do so. Il
was with a feeling of unmixed pleasure that we welcomed all of these men to the
College, and it is with genuine sincerity that we now speak of their first year as a success.
All of them are men of high character and attractive personality ; all of them are intensely
interested in athletics : and while it may be too late to bid them welcome, it is not too late to
assure them of our hearty support and co-operation.

'^^1^ HILE the entire staff of QuiPS AND Cranks performed their duties
^ W / admirably and well, we feel particularly indebted to certain of these men
^^^r for their work. Perhaps foremost among these should be mentioned
Messrs. Guthrie and Gilchrist, who worked with tireless energy and perfect will-
ingness at all times, and were always on the watch for anything and everything which
would tend to improve the Annual. Their work was good in all departments ; and it is to
them that we owe the newspaper. Mardly less valuable in his contribution was Mr. Zeb
Roberson, who handled the entire Athletic Department, with the help of Mr. Palton, who
has done much more than the usual Sophomore member of the staff.
Not all the work, however, was done by members of the Staff. Mr. J. Russell
Minter. of the 1913 Class, although at work this year, found time to do a large part of
the drawing work for this year's Annual; and if the book be a success in this department
it is due in large measure to the kindness and willingness, not to mention the very evident
ability, of Mr. Minter. We are glad to acknowledge our debt to him, and to extend our
thanks for his timely and appropriate work.

ELL. il was some election. Bribery was very much in ihc majority prior lo ihe casting
of the voles, and some fellows simply did pull oft a whole catalog of underhand stunts
in order lo gain some of the coveted places on the ticket.
.•\s a starter, it was brought to light that "Bo" Ellioll is the most popular student in college, but
Kupe McGregor ran him a mighty close second. There were numerous other aspirants for the place, but
they stood only a slim chance against the successful candidates.
Marvin was decided to be the most influential man in our midst, while Charlie King and "Bo"
made a fine showing.
Davidson is known far and wide for her athletes and her athletic attainments, so choosing a man
who can rightfully claim "the best athlete" laurels was no easy matter. However. "Bo" Elliott polled the
highest number of voles for this exalted position, and will go down in history as one of D. C.'s cxcelUnlcsl
athletes.
Norman Farrior came out on lop in the race for the most religious man. Price's sanctimonious
altitudes on some occasions, and "Parse" McCombs' ministerial exterior, gave these two slight advantages
over others who really should have gotten large majorities.
It was almost a tie when the supervisors of the election came lo counting for the "best egg."
"Bum" Pharr obtained a hair's breadth advantage over Zeb Roberson. by settin' up the dopes at Skit's
one day to a bunch of eligible voters.
Who under the sun could have had a look-in on the "laziest man" job, so long as Hercules Hill
remained in college? Why, no one, of course. Did ever a human being breathe the atmosphere of this
earth who was as lazy as this fellow Hill? He "went South," you bet, on this run for the place for
which nobody is ever a candidate, but which always goes lo the most deserving victim.
Every fellow voted for himself on the "hardest-worked man " proposition. Naturally, you would
not expect to find a chap who thought any other guy "dug in " more than he; but the editor of Quips
AND Cra.nks believes that ihe honor, if there be any to such a capacity as this, belongs lo him.
There was really no use in taking a vote to decide who was the best business man in College, for
ihere'i only one man here who can make money at absolutely anything, and still keep the good will of
all parties concerned: and that man, of course, is "Bum" Pharr. The combination of best business man
and "best egg " it a hard one lo beat, when il comes to the money-making proposition.

(Our friend Guthrie nalurally hesitated to proclaim himself as the wittiest man in College, but
the undeniable fact is that it was the one position for which there was no contest. He received the
unanimous vote of every man who could lay his hands upon a blank, as being the particularly
luminous star of the College; and any who have heard him will have no difficulty in recognizing that the
wreath was well placed. — Editor.)
Freddie Hay, who stands at the helm of that famous publication known as The Davidson College
Magazine, made all of the rest of us look like a two-cent piece with a hole punched therein, when it came
to ascertaining who our best writer was.
You know there is one gentleman in every college, the terror of boarding-houses and dining-rooms,
who persistently keeps on hand an aching void which is eternally desiring replenishing. The biggest eater
on the "Hill" seems to be "Slimuel" Gloer. but he is pushed for the first place by Bobby McKay, whose
tendencies toward the table and its viands are unusually strong.
Fifty-five per cent, of the Seniors swore that they had been engaged; the other forty-five per cent,
affirming as decidedly in the negative. We take the word of the minority; but a good many of us cannot
help thinking a great many of the majority were sadly mistaken when they voted, taking a puppy love
infatuation and seeming engagement of their youthful days for the real thing.
Other determinations gathered at the election were as follows:
Best dressed man JuLtAN. Scarborough Most congenial Sprunt. Pharr
Handsomest man L. H. ANDERSON. Julian Biggest Crip. ..Senior Law, Public Speaking
Most brilliant Marvin. Elliott Hardest ticket Soph. Latin, Political
Best all-round man Elliott (unanimous) Science. Fresh. Creek.
Best orator King, Marvin Most popular professor— Dr. Sentelle, Dr. J
Best debater Marvin. King M. Douglas.
Most gentlemanly Scarborough, McGregor Do you smoke — Yes. forty per cent.; No. the rest.
Man of greatest ability Marvin, Elliott Occupation next year?— Teach, 13; continue
Biggest bluffer "Coach" Johnston. Siske education. 10; undecided. 15; loaf, I — H. H.
Biggest politician PiM. SisKE Life work? — Ministry, II; undecided, 18; farm.
Hottest sport "Joc" MoRRIsON, McInnis •*; law, 5; medicine. 8.
Biggest tightwad FaisON, McCombS. BiTZER Favorite game — Football. tennis. baseball.
Most perfect lady PiM. Crisp marbles, and horseshoes (in the order named).
Shortest man Shirley Average cost of college course — $1,641.
(The work of counting the ballots was done by Mr. C. B. Ratchford. while Mr. Guthrie took the
results and put them in the above form. To both of them we extend our thanks for their aid.)

In \\\e Glow of Eventide
_^^^^ EMINISCENSES conslilule themselves in such manner as to delegate this a strikingly pre-
^B ^^ emincnl day to me. Looking backward over the annoes which have gone, never to be
B ■ recalled, a feeling of sadness and longing pervades the once quiescent portals of my breast,
'' ^ and my optics grow dim with an inevitable haziness as I contemplate the heroic deeds of
my deciduous forefathers, who, in the tear-stained past, braved the saline stretches of watery
Neptune, and never more were seen by those so closely knit to them by sanguinilies of recognizability
Noble men they were, as they sailed the boisterous seas in search of golden treasure; but nobler were
ihey because of the valiant stand they took on terra firma, expeditiously betaking themselves from pur-
suing cadaverous cannibals, who, eventually, made a toothsome meal from their bodies, and ingeniously
converted their bones into weapons of warfare.
My heart thrills with an innate pride as 1 divert my wandering thoughts to the achievements of
•uch illustrious ancestors, and I would that my tongue could utter the ennobling and everlasting punctilious
cogitations of my tanlamounted prophylactum.
One hundred and forty years ago today (32 of Septober), one of the staunches! types of my
precursors, Trafalgar Auslerlilz, that highly touted gunsmith of Calcutta, overwhelmingly defeated the
Manilobian forces in the fiercely contested engagement known as the siege of Troy. Remember ye not
how gallantly he commanded his troops, and caused to be hauled down the British Jack which had been
waving over that ill-fated city for ninety-six centuries?
Too, do you not picture in your mind the testicular tactics executed by Waterloo Osseous-section,
when, after it looked as though all the powers of earth were arrayed against him in toto, he, with inscrut-
able wisdom, guided his flagship through the rocky entrance to the harbor of Valparaiso, then guarded
by sixty-live twenty-inch guns, decreed that submission must be his or he would blow the whole nation
into axle grease, and, with a calmness that would make the Dead Sea turn green with envy, he won,
without firing a shot, or losing a life, the greatest battle in all history — Marathon.
And. would this eulogistically inclined insinuosily be complete without some reference to Piffle
Ishouldworry ? Pif was some swell concoction. He is the personage who gave variety to the spice of
life, who put the dot over the i and the subscript over the iota. He was conversant with every living
being, both east and west of the equator, and. in fact, was the most cosmopolitan egg that ever rolled
around this pigiron world.
And can I forego the delightful pleasure of relating to you some fundamental fictitions regarding
the hero of modern civilization) ^X hat a specimen of the genus homo he was! How he placed the
wheels of demolilicalion hydrostatically aloft while shaping the environment of our atmosphere. 'Twas
he who put the turn in turnip, the pump in pumpkin, and the sugar in coffee. Why, long before Fulton

luxuriously appointed steam yacht ever seen in the seas. Years prior to the dale of the initial running o( a
locomotive in these United Stales, this chap was touring around in his country in a handsome Pullman,
attached to one of the swiftest trains ever placed upon steel rails. A stack of books as long as from
here to the moon and halfway back would scarcely begin to contain the record of the accomplishments
of this ancestor of ancestors, a figure whom I am proud to depict, the acme of invenlionary genius —
Peter Peduncle Penobscot. Pedunc was born on the planet of Jupiter, just sixty-three minutes after the
Declaration of Independence was typewritten and had received the "John Hancock" of Anglo-Saxon,
and corroborated by Mr. Saxon's private secretary. He lived until the day on which they moved the
city of New York to the Pacific Coast, in order to afford the citizens of that metropolis an opportunity
to see the sun set in the ocean over that way which dashes its cooling spray on the rockbound coasts of
California. Before he died, he uttered those immortal words. "Give me the world fenced in, with a
potato patch on the outside.
So it is with a deep sense of appreciation that 1 narrate to you some of the untarnished endeavors
of the world's most honored men. How they have dared to breathe the smoke of battle, to ride the
rolling waters, and to lift mankind from the depths of a magnanimous insensibility, and place him in
the beautiful refulgent rays of a sagamantious acerdotal.
Poesy dwells within my being when my thoughts touch such memorable matters as these, and.
with the rhythmical rhymist of old, I can say
As sure's the bark grows on the tri

FratcmU'ics
(With Apologies)
PRATERNITIES are composed mostly of men. Female fraternities are called
Sororities.
Fraternities are called frats. Frat comes from a Greek word, mean-
ing "We'll all drink together." Sorority comes from the same language, and means "Do
others, before you get done."
A man who belongs to a fraternity is called a frat man. He is frequently called
other things, but they would not look well in print.
To conceal the real purpose of the fraternities, meetings are held. These meet-
ings are scenes of great debates. In these, the frat men decide whether or not they will pay
their bills.
Frats have rituals and blackballs — rituals to make the members think they belong
to something; blackballs for the wide-eyed Freshmen.
A frat man is called a Greek. A man who does not belong is called a barbarian.
Many Greeks are barbarians, and many barbarians want to be Greeks.
Fraternities have initiations, which closely resemble the Spanish Inquisition. How-
ever, nobody dislikes these but the Freshman.
The chief aim of a frat man is to get money from father.
Most great men are frat men ; such as "Bill" 1 aft, "Woody" Wilson, and
"Jocko" Morrison!

Letter to Ma
Davidson. N. C, September 8. 1913
..^^■^^ EAR MA: — I now take my pen in hand to rite you a few lines. I landed at
I ■ this here plase day before yistiddy, and I must say that it by far surpasses my
,J^^^^ wildest imaginings of such a plase. I have heered that there wuz largur,
grandur plases, but danged if I believe it !
Me an some other Freshmans wuz met at the train by a Crowd uv Fellers, just
as nise and corjul as cud be. They had some sorter deception Commity what tole us all
to go up to Chambuz — but I tole em I didn't want To just then, cuz I wanted to look
aroun. One mighty pleasant Feller wanted me to join a Society what he called the
Pressing Club, but I remembered what that there Almanac they sent us said about not
joining these here funny Societez right away, so tole him I would see him later. That
afternoon I got me a room, and am rooming with Friend John D. Smith, from Philadel-
phus, Robeson County, in this here State.
It shore is a good thing Dad gave me all that money fore I left, cause College is
a turrible expensive plase. I had to pay for several other things besides vittles. One of
the best things that I bought is a student body ticket. A Feller what is only here for a
few days sold it to me for two dollars and a half. He said it would let me in to all
student body meetings, and give me a right to vote, too. Say, Ma, which hand do you
use to vote? Another valueabel thing I got was a sprinkler bath privilege, which lets me
wash in any of them. Ma, them sprinkler baths shore is wonderful things — it's just like
being out in the rain. I can't hardly wait for Saturday night to come. I also bought a
Chapul seat and a campus ticket; them things wuz not menchuned in the Alamanac, but
the Feller said as how I would have to get em. I also bought a pretty brass thing witch
WU7 scrude to the floor, and they said it wuz used for a stove, but I ain't been able to
find out yet how to light it.
The Main building shore is a big plase. It's got big high brick posts called collars
— but they don't look nothin like one. Up on top is a round porch called a caterpillar,
or somethin 1 ke that. They sure is one awful brite idea connected with that building.
Some Feller put two tin barrels up on top, and ran some pipes down the chimneys, and
now the Fellers can get water without havin to go to a pump ; and it's hot, too. The fire

in the chimneys does that. I don't know how they'll fill up the barrels when they run
dry, cuz I ain't saw nobody takin water up yet. Guess they're waitin for rain.
They is a lot of Fellers here what wears pins on their vest. The other Fellers
call em fat men or somethin like that, but they don't look specially fat to me. John D.
says you have to make aphcashun to get to be one. I haven't decided yet whitch one to
joine, but have sent all of them my aplicashun, and will tell you more about it later. I
think wimmen must belong to em, as I seen a girl with one of the pins on.
A tall red-headed Feller stopped me and asked me if I had ever matrickulated
yet. I told him 1 thought I had a slight case of it the same summer Pa stuck a nail in
his toe, and had toe-main poisoning. We got to talkin, and he sed he wuz President of the
Y. M. Q. C. C. — You Must Quit Cussin' Club. He is also a member of the Mysterious
Band. He tola me not to put too much stock in riches, and go to bed prompt at ten
o'clock. I tole him much obliged, and at home we go at nine-thirty.
Well, I must close with much love now, as I got to study some. Kiss Pa and
all the rest of the animuls for me.

Social Rules and Regulations
(Approved by Faculty)
' 1 — Place and Chaperonace.
All parties are to be held in the Shearer Biblical Hall, or such public dance halls
as omit all chaperones, for ihey are a nuisance on all occasions.
2 — Time.
The aforesaid parties shall be held on school nights, in fact any evening which is
convenient. Examination per-od is suggested as a good time to hold these parties, as a
little recreation is needed between crams.
3 — Hours.
Parties must never close before 2.30 a. m. If held in Charlotte, they may close
later, so as to give the boys all morning m which to get home. Formal parties may last
indefinitely.
4 — Expense.
This is a mere detail. One cannot spend too much on parties, as they are a
splendid form of amusement.

condition till the tomorrow. "You had better beware the bleeding Sophomoremen" advised a kind friend,
but the Sophomoreman with me displays no wounds on his surface, and I marvel why for they declare
this.
The next day inst. I enter the institution with form, by answering an index of questions regarding

I was assigned to studying, and paid my $s to the moneytaker.

A Sophoreman introduced me to him. and a^k to know with jolly teelh where I "put up."
"Put up what,'* I require ignorantly.
"Put up yourself." he returns stately. "Room."
I inform the house lo him and the room, and ask him to come on. but he move back, quothing
very \'. M. C. A.-ly that he would invile the pleasure of visiting me tonight, to which I was in very
gratitude.
But when I related this kind friend to the lady m the home, she smilefully warned me that the
Sophomoremen were often Pharisees, and I enterlain her notion entirely.
My kind friend, who I was advised to call Hon. "Bucky" Knocks, postpone his engagement, and
I retire lo my couch, but was awake very starlly by a loud emotion out of the window.
For the following which happened. 1 quote to you ihe conversing of Hon. "Bucky" with a
brother Sophomoreman. which I overfound the morrow morning.
"Of the entire luck," declaim him rageiy, "this were the most inferior. I elevate a ladder after
middle-ni£»ht to that Chink's window, or which was in my calculating. Having crawled the window,
and perceived the location of his couch. I approached it softfully. in purpose lo shove it over him. But
there are a sudden interruption in the doorway. A white kimona people stood thereto before me, and
scream womanfully, 'Robbers'. 1 apologize immediately, *Oh, Miss Janet. I have caused a serious mistake.
Forgive me'. 'I will call mother.' she exclaim squeakingly. 'For good sake, don't'; I anguish in terror,
and come lo my knees. 'Will you leave right now, then?* she cry; 'if I don't summon.' 1 heartily agree,
and flee from the embarrassment. I cannot get the Chink now till he abides in the dormantary'," and he
ceased in cannibal temper.
The after mail, he received the following cpi?tle enjoining from mc.
"Chinks can have white kimonas. and scjueak like womanhood. For why were you so scared o^
mc? Signed, Wanc Senfong. '
I will dream laughing tonight. Ynu will reprove I did not become the actions of a Presbyterian
heathen, but I was not lo be deplored a fool by the Sophomoreman.
Hoping you are the same.

WAS llic Iwenly-ninth day of December, 1914 — clear, cold, and penelraling. About eight
o clock in the morning, a bell might have been heard pealing out its joyful summons over
ihe deserted campus of the College, for alas! all had departed to their respective— and. lei
us hope, respectable, homes, leaving the joys of the College to some seven men.
1 hese same seven men. after long and heated discussion, had decided that this particular day
should be set apart for a memorial service in the Chapel, lo be held at the usual time, and in the usual
manner. All preparations were made, and the seven retired joyfully to their downy(?) couches in antici-
pation of the treat awaiting them on the morrow. That is why. promptly at eight o'clock the next morn-
ing, the bell began its insistent summons to the sleeping to awake.
Promptly on the first stroke of the last bell, young Wilkinson, sometimes known as the "Chink"
(perhaps because of his aversion lo that particular form of worldly goods known as chink), came run-
ning out of Chambers Building, collar and tie in one hand, with the other holding up ihe nether garments
which covered his limbs, his shoes and coal unbuttoned, and hair disheveled; but none of these minor
details hindered his progress toward the designated place of morning worship. To this young man mu5t
be given the honor of being the first in attendance; but he was quickly followed by Big Chief Mullen.
.Alphabet Wertz. DuBose. Marvin, and one of the Woods boys. The service was temporarily delayed on
account of the tardiness of Doctor Chink Woods, who was to lead the service, A messenger was hastily
despatched to his abode to arouse him. and some moments later the venerable Doctor was seen hurryng
acro:s the campus, clad only m pajamas, slippers, a bathrobe, and his usual dignity.
When the Doctor entered the building, ihe student body, represented by Marvin, promptly moved
off the register, which had been left cold in order to get the usual daily effect during the Winter, and
look his seal. The facully, which was Mr. Mullen, occupied the usual faculty seats In the rear of the
building. Mr. DuBose constituted the orchestra of eight pieces, and the rendition of ihc doxology was
truly beautiful and impressive. ."Xfter singing of the doxology. in which the entire student body and
faculty joined. Doctor Woods announced a hymn, and asked that everybody stand and sing. It is said
that the singing of this hymn was heard for several blocks away in the city, and several members of the
erstwhile faculty quickly dressed and came to the scene of activity to learn the source of the heavenly
music.
Doctor Woods, or as he is familiarly called by the boys who love him so dearly. "Pretzels." read
several chapters from the Book of Hezektah. laying special emphasis upon the words, "Lo, here am I."
He then called upon Mr. XX'ilkinscn lo lead in prayer, but Mr. Wilkinson asked that he be excused, on
account of a difficulty in arliculalion. The facully. Mr. Mullen, very quickly accepled the privilege, and
led the student body in prayer.

Every memhcr of the faculty had some announcements to make In regard to the work for the
New Year.
The student body decided to ask the faculty to grant a holiday of one week for Easter, and a
committee of three was appointed to consult with the president regardmg this matter. At the meeting of
the Athletic Association, the annual basket-ball game with the Charlotte Y. M. C. A. was announced,
and It was urged upon all to go. One member of the faculty offered to lend the money to any who
needed it. for he said that he had been a student himself, and "knew just how It felt" to be financially
embarrassed.
The other meetings were not of any importance, and it was not long before all the students were
on their way to breakfast. Several men were injured slightly in the usual jam at the door, as was only
natural when one considers that the entire student body had been delayed some minutes in getting off to
breakfast; but it is thought that they will all recover readily.
Several men have been heard to express themselves as being highly pleased with the meeting,
and no doubt there will be another meeting as soon as the faculty declares the Easter holiday.

X"^V' PRINGTIME was carefully but tearlessl\ wending its way along the boule-
SM^ vard of Autumn, while the all-too-short day? of Winter were smoothly bcng
^mm^ equatorialized by the Sumn;er solstice. Snow had bended low the arborescent
adornments of Saskatchewan, though fruit hung in abundance on the pineapple
bushes of Southern Bolivia. I was casually strolling amidst the verdure and fragrance of
a certain locality of none too positive cognomen. The day had about spent its little life,
and the grimy hand of darkness was stealthily touching hill and dale here and there over
the distance of Nova Scotia, and the twittering of the crow could be heard as he sailed
across the green fields to his nest in a massive oak at the foothills of Mount Everest. A
groundhog ran across my path en route to his mansion in the subterranean passageways of
purgatory.
Numberless sounds came to my ears, some of which had a tendency to make the
corpuscles of my constitution to compistulate with an effervescing enhansibility. I was
becoming grossly excited, with so many new experiences forcing themselves thus unceremon-
iously upon me. The incongruity of the occasion was extemporaneously unendurable,
when, suddenly, through the foliage of the forest to the east, I saw the rising moon coming
into view above the faraway sustaciated menflariancencies. Due to some unexpositorial
delusion, the heavenly bodies have always had a soothing, yea a comforting, indeed, a
most consoling, effect upon me. Immediately my fevered brow and throbbing bosom
became as calm as the loudest silence. A flood of memories swept through my peaceful
brain, as I gazed fixedly at the Luna Latanica et Asteranica. Blissfully exquisite
elementaries of boyhood days, when Love's young dream initiated its delectations into
my life, stood before me as plainly as though I had reverted through some forty years.
I was entranced. The realities of the present had no horrors for me now. My
surfatorial paradoxicalness had given way to some strange teleoinflated endogenous
apathy. A peculiar exclusiveness was twining its fetters around me as I stood there
beneath the great dome of atmosphereiosity.
rm ^^ ^5
Gradually, I was cognizant of being slowly lifted to ethereal regions. Finally, I
reached the Bambosiosity of Gerevantual, where people live as long as they care, and
die when they please ; where life is a continuous round of Blissfulissimusses and Delighted-
ingtatoses. Wonderful are the sights of that original sphere, and would that I were
given the powers of transference to rehabilitate to you the excresiences thereof.
Next, in some pacificac'ous manner, I was carried to the great exchange of all the
universe, where a man may trade off his old troubles for new ones. All the aggravations of
my college days I bartered for a paroxysmal cumulation of (issaparous appetencies.
While on my way to one of the four corners of the swapsitory, I became ine.x-
tricably conglomerated in corr.passtorial tendencies, and was surreptitiously ferro, ferre,
tuli, lalumed off into oblivion, from which 1 have never returned, but where I am spend-
ing the rest of my days as lineman for the Neoterical Wireless Corporation, Inc., in hopes
that sometime, away back in the future, I may get into communication with my great-great-
great-grandchildren, who live in the imagination of an extraordinarily imaginative
cranium.

If we are not in, and you see anything you want, take it; we are always glad to
oblige our friends.
If we are counting money, take part of it; it will save us the trouble of counting it.
If the Freshman is in, and asleep, dump him; it won't hurt the bed.
If there is anything to eat lying around, eat it; we should be more careful.
If we are writing letters to "our girl, " look over our shoulder, and read what we
have to say. If you find a mistake, call our attention to it.
If you want to borrow money, say so; we are running a bank.
If we are studying, cuss a little; we should not be so thoughtless.
If we are looking over the "dope " for the Annual, join us; we would like to have
your criticism. After leaving, be sure to tell all your friends about it, so they will know

However, the progressive element of the present fully

DEATH— QUICK ACT/ION
OF PHARR SAVES HIS
L I F E — HARROWING DE-
TAILS BELOW.
(Special to 'ihe Expostulator)
One of Davidson's most promi-
nent and influential citizens, C. L.
King, narrowly escaped a horrible
injury, probably resuhing i n
death, last evening about 11.30;
and had it not been for the quick
action of Mr. Bum Pharr, who
happened to be standing nearby,
Mr. King would undoubtedly have
been in a serious condition today.
As it is, he is rather badly shaken
up, and is exceedingly nervous
from the effects of the scare. He
is tlenying himself to all callers
for a few days, but Dr. James
Gibbons, his attending physician,
remarked casually to our repre-
sentative that he thought Mr
King would be all right by to-
morrow night.
It seems that Mr. King had
disrobed, as was his usual custom
before retiring for the night, and
had donned a suit of very attrac-

CONFLAGRATION
A very disastrous accident oc-
cured about nine o'clock last night,
when the apartments of one of
our leading citizens was almost
ruined by fire and water. F. W.
Price was sittin" in his easy chair,
smoking a La Folwin before retir-
ing, and inadvertently dropped oflf
to sleep with the lighted cigar in
his mouth. It is supposed that the
gentleman's head must have fallen
forward, which caused the ignited
end of the Havana to come in
contact with the lace on Mr.
Price's dressing gown, setting that
imported garment on fire. Price
suddenly awakened, greatly fright-
ened. Running madly around the
room, he set fire to a number of
the sporty pictures on the wall,
the window curtains, and various
other articles suscentible of in-
flammability. His cries of "Fire"
were heard by neighbors, who
"turned the hose" on the young
man from the Orient. The flames
were extinguished, but not before
they had done much damage.
STILL AT LARGE

shot an honor man, and mortallx

men yesterday, and today fought

burg, a suburb of Exenstophen.

Pip Young, of Abscence Town-
ship, was killed after he had ar-
rested Roher.son on a charge of
assault and battery preferred by
the Dutch Class. After killing
Young, Roberson went to a cer-
tain home in the citv, looking for
his sweetheart, and shot two gen-

live pajamas. He asked Mr.
Pharr to extinguish the light for
him as soon as he had arranged
himself in hed. Pharr did as re-
quested, 1)ade him good-night, and
turned to leave the room. As he
did so, he heard a shout of mortal
pain and terror from King, and
quickly turned on the light again
to see what was the trouble. As
he did so, King fairly flew by him,
with all the bedclothes hanging
to his person, and screamin^r for
help at the top of his voice, while
a ferocious mouse was pursuini
him closely. Pharr, nerving him
self to meet the exigencies of the
occasion, bravely tackled the beast
and after a terrific strtiggle, the
noise of which was heard several
doors away, he succeeded in
catching hold of a rope tied
around the animal's neck, and then
he quickly strangled it into a state
of submission.
Felt the Brute's Claws
Mr. King says that" he thinks
someone, in an endeavor to play a
joke on him, placed the wild
animal in .some position where it
would be disturbed when he en-
tered the bed, for he distinctly
felt the brute's claws as it attacked
one of his limbs. When he
attempted to kick the brute off, it
started crawling toward his neck,
and it was at that time that he
shouted for help, with the result
Siiat Pharr quickly ran back.
An examination of the captured
specimen by Dr. i rilobite Over-
cash showed clearly that it was
one of the few members that have
remained from the carboniferous
age, and as such is unusually
ferocious. It is thought that it
will be r.resented to the British
Museum, as neither Pharr nor Mr.
King care to keep the animal in
captivity.
Bravery Commended
Mr. King is to be congratulate*
on his narrow escape, and we have
heard many complimentary re
marks regarding the bravery and
promptness of Mr. Pharr im
venturing to attack the vicious
animal single-handed and un-
armed.
FIRE DEPART-
MENT REPORT
The annual report of tin.- Imal
Fire Department, which has- just
been compiled by ."Kssistant Chief
J. W. S. Gilchrist, reflects great
credit upon the Department, show-
ing that the laddies have done ex-
cellent work during the past twelve
months. The report as compiled
by Mr. Gilchrist is, in part, as
follows :
"It is gratifying to report that
while the number of tire alarms
received during the year has been
somewhat in excess of that of
previous years, the loss of prop-
erty by fire and water is much
less than that in any of the past
seventy-six years.
The number of alarms received
during the year was "0.824. Of
this number, 54,381 came from the
Georgia ward, while Oak ward
gave only one call, this single
alarm coming in the month of
November, when Monsieur T.
Roddey tried to hide the stove
under his bed.
In addition to the above, we had
one call from out of town, for
which no alarm was turned in.
In this instance we sent a detail,
and all needed assistance was
rendered."
It is also proper to mention
that Assistant Chief Gilchrist did
valiant work himself, as did
Hoseman Hay, and Laddermen
Price, Phnrr, Carriker, and Cran-
ford. Much credit is due Chief
W. E. W. Williams, whose lusty
voice was instrumental in sound-
ing many alarms, and who
directed the work of the local
fighters with great generalship.
The year for the Fire Depart-
ment begins on the first day of
February, owing to the fact that
the following dav is Groundhog
Day.
LOCAL NOTES
PROFESSOR
OVERGASH
In an interview today with
Prof. Bax Overcash, one of our
reporters was advised that the
bio-geological scholar's latest
ork will be on sale within a few
days. The Professor was in
seclusion for over a year writing
this volume; which will no doubt
have an enormous sale. As has
been noted in our columns on
previous occasions, the title of the
i>ook will be "The Eccentricities
of the Trilobite." The Professor
spent some months doing research
work in Iredell County and his
laboratory in preparation for this
literary production.

he will attend the meeting of the
International Committee of the
United Sulphurious Association of
Liars. He will remain several
days conferring with the com-
mittee concerning some wildcat
schemes he has concocted at odd
moments and stuck up his sleeve.
Tonight at the spring meeting
of the Consolidated Clubs of the
city, Zebulon Vance Roberson
will be the guest of honor. Col-
onel Roberson is on a visit South
for a short recuperative period
after his strenuous three months'
participation in the Exchange.
By way of reminiscence, our hon-
ored visitor will speak this even-

Samuel B. Woods was removed
yesterday morning from h ? apart-
ments to St. Smiklefritz Hospital,
in a precarious condition. For
vears Mr. Woods has been a
sufferer from insohrietacious in-
somnia. During the last few
weeks he had been probably ptow-
ing worse, and it was decided that
his removal to more comfortable
quarters would be best. .A.fter
a consultation of the hospital staff
of physic'ans last night, it was
given out that the patient had
very slight chance for recovery.

COTILLION
The cotillion given by Mr
Thomas Prince Johnson, Monday
night, at the Country Club, was
one of the most deiightful func-
tions of the midwinter season
Miss Dunlop Roddev led with Mr.
Johnson, and Miss Frankie Pini
and Mr. Barnard Bailey assisted
The favors were beautiful, and
some were unique. In the first
figure, the ladies received Aus-
tralian tinted cauliflower, and
the men jardinieres. One of the
most beautiful was called the but-
terfly figure, and for this the lights
were turned out, and for eacl"
young woman a pair of exquisite
wings, bril'iant in weave and
beauty, was fastened on the
shoulders, and the young men
dancing with the butterflies car-
ried electric sparklers. Another
favor figure gave the ladies
vanity boxes and the gentlemen
shaving sticks.
After midnight, a delicious sup-
per was served at a large round
table at which the chaperones wen
seated, and the younger people
were at two long tables.
The clubhouse was appro-
priately decorated with preen and
crimson flowers, and Professor
Brown's orchestra of eight piece*
furnished the music.
The chaperones were Mrs. H
L. Elliot, Mrs. W. K. Boswell,
Mrs. Query Pharr, Mrs. W. L
Menzies, and Mrs. L. B. Crayton
The other guests were Miss Dun-
loo Roddev, Miss Frankie Pirn
Miss Willie Norris, Miss Tinsic

KINDERGARTEN-
Miss Minnie Arrowwood had
her little Kindergarten Class to
cive an entertainment last week
for their parents and friends. The
little tots enjoyed the novelty of
performing immense'y, and the
older folks vvere delighted. The
entertainment' began with a son"
"Welcome to You," sung by the
entire Kindergarten. Master
Georgia Hamilton then recited
"The Village Blacksmith," and
little Raesdale O'Neal sang "The
Birdies' Ball." Next was the fun-
bonnet chorus, in which were little
Oavid Bond — Lane. Jessie Mc-
Keithan, Willie Mclver, and — .
who sang "A Sunhonnet Song."
Latta Law and Clifford Carson
next appeared in a little dialoc
entitled "Whose Blossom is Oo?"
The program closed with the
"D-A-I-S-Y Song" by five cute lit-
tle tots dressed in white and yel-
low. In order of position, thev
were Rawls Howard, Teddie
Henderson, Kathleen Shane,
Oavie Crawford, and Ralphine
Dunn. The entertainment was
treatly enjoyed, and we all hope
Miss Minnie will have another
one soon.
BROWN-SMITH
Miss Usa Alexander enter-
tained at cards Saturday after-
noon, in honor of Miss Rowland
Brown. The house was I'.tnd-
somely decorated with potted
niants, orchids, and coronations.
The prize for the highest score
was won hv Miss Marion Mit-
chell, an' Miss Brown, a prize as
guest of honor.
During the afternoon, little
Miss Dorothy McKeithan. dressed
.Ts Martha Washington, presented
the prizes, and in a neat little
rhyme announced Miss Brown's
encatrement to Mr. Jnhn Din-
widdie Smith, of the Old North
State Tobacco Comnany. the we<i.
ding to take place May 20. This
announcement will be of interest
to the entire State, as Miss
Brown is a great granddaughter
of the martyr, John Brown, of
Civil War fame, and is a popular
young woman, with a wide circle
of friends. Mr. Smith is a pop-
ular young athletic trainer, and
made some enviable records on
'he track during his college days.
He is now engaged in trainitig
the cigarette rollers of the big
tobacco concern.
Those who enioved Miss Alex-
ander's hospitality, besides the
euest of honor, were: Mesdames
King, Elliot. Murray, Woods, and
Bain. Also Misses Scarboroueh,
Crisp, Carson, Bitzer, Hay. Price,
Baker, Weedon, and Menzies.
MUSICFEST
Miss Wilson Cosby gave a de-
lightful musicfest last night, at
the home of Mr. ind Mrs.
Thomas Sparrow, on Elm
Avenue. Miss Cosby's voice was
in fine fettle, and each and every
number was heartily enjoyed by
the friends who were invited to
hear her. Miss Cosby has sung
in grand opera several seasons in
New York.
Miss Crisp, who was the idol of
the society circle in the city last
season, has been married, and
will, in company with her hus-
band, visit here on her honey-
moon.
Mr. Earlicious Rowland was
host at a luncheon yesterday at
the Mecklenbure Inn, given in
honor of Miss • Lattie Law.
Mr. Darwin Huxley Brass
Spenser, entertained Mr. and
Mrs. Overcash at dinner last
evening, at Helner's. the new
cabaret restaurant. Mr. Spen-
ser's graceful figure was shown
to great advantage in the new
dances — the tadpole wiufle. and
the coca-cola gicele. which are
danced in the aisles of this popu-
lar restaurant.

It is not our prerogative as an
influential newspaper to dog-
matize as to what shall be done
in our city and what shall be re-
frained from — we desire only to
suggest and noint out various
evils ocoftsionally, and leave to
the cqnsideration of our fair-
minded readers what course shal'
be taken. But, when we see
somethin"- most radically out of
harmony with the surroundings,
and which has been trfiis for some
while without receiving attention.
it becomes our duty, as the
wielder of the iournalistic pen, tc
speak very plainly. For a good
many years, the Southern Rail-
way has been running trains
through our town, and giving u!
good service, but the appreciation
shown has not amounted to a,«
much as the music in a cornstalk
fiddle. Many tunes the 7.30 p. m
train arrives, and not more than
nine-tenths of the college boys are
there to meet it, and these only
stand around with their hands in
their pockets gawking at the pas
sengers. There must be a change
for the better. More people mus'
go to the station every day. Try
to meet every train, and go in
and ask the express a^rent if he
doesn't think he has a package
for ■"ou from home. You should
always go down to the tele-
graph office at twelve o'clock, to
see whether your watch is correct
inquire of the agent how late the
I'cxt train is, and, in fact, spend
jrst as much of your time at the
station as yOu possibly can spare
Don't be a tightwad, and sit in
your room with your head buried
in a book, but open up, and show
your twentieth century broad-
visioned senses, and go to the
depot whenever a train is due.
You might see someone go
through sometime whom you
know.

Always, with the gay socia'
season at co'lege, comes the criti-
cism of the new dances. A great
deal has been said on both sides
and it is impossible to present all
the arguments to our readers. I
is our nersonal opinion that the
tango, if danced correctly, is all
right; but that some of the other
dances are not. There is neither
grace nor beauty in some of the
dances that have been produced
at the dansants and tango tea?
here this season, and high life ha?
been almost too high for good
taste. Such dances as the "Junioi
Astronomy Fall," the "Coal
Swiper Wiggle," and the
"Tommy Trot" are a disgrace to
an enlightened society such as we
have here. If our social leader?
would confine themse'ves to the
older and more dignified dances
we believe a more general spirit
of satisfaction would prevail.

Somebody now comes to the

CURRENT POETRY
ODE TO DUTY
Duty ! ah, lovcl" word, which
personified, drives dull care away
and brings gladness into dark
and saddened lives. Your form,
so ethereal in constitution, so
ambrosial in delectation, so ex-
quisite in delineation, haunts the
very portals of my indulgence.
You ride upon the wings of ex-
clamation, and pause at the well
of superficiality, and sob your
•irief of sapondolgence. Never
does your presence enter the de'e-
gadations of frezicndum, nor do
you spread your caressing con-
viviality amid the rostrujuhader-
casens which make life to swell
with semblanworcranstalter.
Go on your way, and drink in
he wine of the cods who fash-
■oned you, but ponder lest you
disturb the quietude of my joy-
nusness, as I sail so merrily
down the stream of Konfinctions.

Dear Editor : — Permit me a few
lines of space in your very valu-
able paper, in which I may bring
before the nublic a matter which,
it seems to me, should receive the
consideration of every one of
your readers.
For sometime past, I have
noticed how poorly the local post-
office is patronized. One can eo
there any time, from earl-- morn-
ing until late at night, and
scarcely more than two or three
persons can be found in the build-
ing, even at the most strategic
times. It does seem that more
young men, especially, would use
this great convenience the Gov-
ernment has placed at our serv-
ice. If there is not an increase in
the daily attendance at the build
ing, I am advised through re
liable parties that the Secretary
of Agriculture will discontinue
the office, and have all mail sen
to Mount Mourne.
I appeal to your public-spirited
readers to get behind this matter,
and request folks to go to the
postoffice at night, at least, and
call for their mail, though they
don't hear from anyone oftener
than once a month. By doinf
this, the authorities will rea'izc

Dear Mr. Editor: — For a Ion.?
time I have had a matter on my
heart, but have hesitated to bring
it before the students here. How-
ever, I believe that what I write
is for the best interests of the

'hat there are some who seem to

.'ippearance, Only the other night I
saw two wearing these nasty soft
shirts, and I have heard that one

polished I think probably it was
because he was a Freshman, and

think he ought to be told, as one
can't be too careful in things so

all get together, and try to do
better.
YOUTHFUL ATHLETE
COVERS HIMSELF
WITH GLORY
One of the most sensational
featijres of the football season at
Davidson, occured on November
13. Blumenthal Williams, famil-
iarly known ainong the students
as "Jno. D.," had been holding a
lowly place as center on the team
usually styled the "Squirts."
Coach Cook, lacking a man,
placed "Jno. D." at center on the
scrubs, for a mix'up with the
Varsity. The Varsity scored a
touchdown or so, and were kick-
ing off to the scrubs. Brady by
chance made a short kick, that
went directly at "Jno. D." By a
rare display of discernment, he
seized the flyinc pigskin with
eager grasp, and like a meteor
dashed toward the goal. Peters
dived at the runner, only to be
side-stepped ; Slimue! Gloer made
an attempt to stop him, but was
met by the strong stiff-arm of
"Jno. D.," and fell into a massive
heap at his feet. With the spring
of a tiger, the athlete leaped over
him and soed on. Captain Howell
was eluded, and Cosbv. who had
hitherto not failed of a tackle,
made a flving pluna-e, only to fall
where "Jno. D." had been. "Bear
Cat" Keesler, the fleet, managed
to sieze one leg, only to be shaken
off. Onward, onward, with on'y
a short distance to the coveted
white line. At the five-yard line.
Laird tackled, and he'd on tenac-
iously, but the determined run-
ner struggled forward, and a sec-
ond later placed the oval behind
the line, snuarelv be'.ween the
posts. Chaerined, cowered, dis-
mayed, the Varsity members
raised themselves from t h e
pround. A mighty shout from
'he_ sidelines rent the welkin.
Poised, lithe, graceful, Jno. D.
stood there. He was eagerly
siezed and carried off on the
shoulders of his team mates —
sic gloria.

THE INJUSTICE OF AMERICAN JUSTICE
MALCOLM J. SHIRLEV
We reproduce above an Asso-
ciated Press photograph of M. J
Shirley, who, last evenin'', made
a ringing address on "The In-
justice of American Justice."
We quote a few sentences from
his masterful appeal ; "Justice is
justice, and I can prove it beyond
the shadow of a doubt. Injustice
is injustice, quite as truly.
America is retrograding with re-
spect to this justice business.
Let us have liberty, and give us
peace."

NEGRO SITUATION
Minneapolis, Minn. — "Social
conditions in the South are tend-
ing to develop in the negro a
rac'al conscioisness, and to or-
ganize a negro nationality," de-
c'ared Crawford A. Hart, of
Johns Hopkins University, today,
before the American Soiological
Society, which is meeting here.
"The nationa'izing tendency
among negroes is the result of the
white man's ostracism- of their
b'ack brother," said Dr. Hart. He
adversely criticised the pub'ir
utterances of Senator Vardaman
of Mississinpi and Gov. Cole
Blease. of South Carolina.
The learned researcher from
Baltimore is an authority on
matters regarding the negro man
nnd the members of the Associa-
tion were held for more than two
hours listening to the address of
Dr. Hart.

incr-shop of Doithlen'clit. Sheet S
Co. This product of the noted
hovse, whose unsurpassed en-
pravins and bindins are the talk
of the western hemisphere can-
not, in point of exterior hand-
someness, outshine the peculiarly
striking and well nhrased paees
of master treatises on the subiec
which the author has a hi?hb
preeminent ripht to set forth. The
Hon Joseph P. Williams is to b'^
heartily consratrilated upon this
the crownin? clory of his s'^ead-

(■Continued from page 4)
" 'I'm always sadder when I sing',
She sang in accents wild.
And all the fel'ows, listcn'np.
Said, 'We are too, my child'."
We pive our readers the benefit
of the foUowiiia: snatches of ex-
chuiciatinely, that is, exquisitely
Ivrical extravanganzas, from the
Harkcy Stipulator, Meck'enburg's
newest newspaper, edited by
Messrs. Harkey and Alexander.
There once was a sweet young
Baraca,
Who sat on a creat big fire-
cracker,
(How foolish !)
They sat in the moon's pa'.e
splendor.
.A. wondrous happy pair —
.•\ youth in the pride of manhood,
A girl with golden hair.
She turned her swee^ face to him,
And softlv did she say,
"Tom, dear, there's someone com-
infr ;
So take your arms awav."
As a representative type of the
ni'w style of economic poetry, pro-
duced voluminously by the Deen
Thinking School of Adam-Smith-
'tes, we erive soace to this cor-
sieoi'sly expressed, yet Walt Whit-
manly simplified, sentiment.
These here days surely is hard
times,
I wish the government would
lend us
Some cash, to spend for things
we need,
I've got to buy me some suspend-
ers.

Davidson, N. C.
^ y '^ HE EQUIPMENT of Davidson consists of thirteen campus buildings (not
M ^^^ including residences); gymnasium; a dozen or more tennis courts; athletic field;
^L ^P laboratories fir Chemistry. Physics, and Biology, with ample apparatus; water
^^*^^ works ; electric lights; sixteen bathrooms ; and a library of twenty- three thousand
purchased volumes. This external equipment, however, can be duplicated by any institution
having sufficient funds for the purpose. Some of its unique possessions, not shared by other
institutions, are as follows:
1. The character of the student-body, which represents the cream of Southern
Presbyterian home-lraining. from Maryland to the Gulf. All visitors and matriculates from
other colleges comment on the cordiality, harmony, and manliness of its campus atmosphere,
Its traditionary and deep-rooted "Honor System," and its freedom from vice and dissipation.
2. The rigid elimination by the Faculty of unworthy or incorrigibly idle students,
without regard to their own or their parents* wealth or social position.
3. The close and personal supervision exercised over each individual student by the
President and Faculty. The professors at Davidson regard the work of class-room and
laboratory as only one part of their duty and responsibility. The Faculty meets every
week, and its chief topic of discussion is the character, habits, and progress of each student.
4. The completeness of the records kept of each student. Since the adoption of
its new system of student records, every visitor from another institution asserts that he has
never seen anything so detailed and complete. Without this mtimate knowledge of the
individual student, such personal supervision on the part of the Faculty would be impossible.
5. The fullness and detail of the reports sent to parents. No institution known to
the writer keeps such students' records, and no one even approximates the fullness of the
reports now sent by Davidson to the parents of its students, covering not only a young man's
class standing, but his associates, habits, attentiveness in class, diligence, punctuality, earnest-
ness of purpose, improvement or retrogression, etc.
6. The church privileges of the students. In the neighborhood of so many Southern
Colleges and Universities, each denomination is represented by a struggling, inefficient.
unattractive mission-church. Under these circumstances, it is no wonder that growing and
vigorous intellectualism. comparing such an exponent of religion with the ability and learning
of its class-rooms and laboratories, should adopt a campus altitude first of indifference to a
religion and finally of ill-concealed contempt.
The Davidson students see church life at its best, participated in by the intellectual
leaders of the College community. The church building is modern, the congregation main-
tains its own home and foreign missionaries, and is noted for its harmony, intelligence, and
liberality.
In addition to the formal catalog, the College publishes a Special Bulletin, written
for the information of prospective students and their parents. Either or both will be sent
on request. Address the President.

It goes equally well with the Moonlight Sonata or Rag — The leaf, the

I'D fight for her, do right for her.
And, oh, what bliss 'twould be!
I'd care for her, and bear for her
All she might ask of me.
I'd work for her, and shirk for her
No task, however great.
I'd plead for her, and bleed for her.
Nor curse a cruel Fate.
I'd leap — for her — the deep for her;
I'd swim from Spain to here.
I'd run for her, I'd shun for her
All that I hold most dear.
I'd live for her, I'd give for her
A kingdom, rank and file.
I'd try for her, then die for her.
And do it with a smile!
And yet when when all is said and done,
You know she's not the only one.
There's one sad tale that makes me roar.
I hear it often, more and more;
It is repeated o'er and o'er:
"Man never loved like this before! "
