As  TIME  AND  DISTANCE  yield  to  the  inexorable  surge 
of  motored  speed,  aviation  becomes  an  ever  more  significant  phase  of 
modern  life.  Within  a  few  decades  it  has  vaulted  from  a  realm  of 
uncertainty  to  the  amazing  accomplishments  of  today.  And  the 
future  offers  a  vista  of  untold  possibilities. 

It  would  be  sheer  invention  to  pretend  any  close  analogy  between 
aviation  and  campus  life.  Though  the  motivating  spirit  that  has 
spurred  individuals  on  to  courageous  exploits  in  the  air  is  symbolic 
of  the  innate  adventuresomeness  and  bold  ambition  to  be  found  in 
college  men. 

Yet  no  idealistic  resemblance  urged  our  choice  of  a  theme.  For  us 
aviation  has  never  sunk  into  the  realm  of  the  commonplace.  The  roar 
of  an  airplane  motor  and  the  flash  of  sun  on  silver  wings  still  excites 
and  kindles  our  imagination.  One  can  never  think  of  aviation  as  stag- 
nating, but  rather  visualizes  it  striding  forward  to  new  achievement 
despite  hazards  and  danger.  Our  thoughts  are  skyward  and  our 
minds  are  fired  with  the  belief  that  aviation  is  only  on  the  threshold 
of  progress.  Perhaps  you  too  may  know  or  capture  this  spirit,  and 
grant  your  approval.

I  he  firsi  ycjr  of  Davidson's  second  century  his  brought  only  increased  interest 
.inionu  ils  .ilumni  sciltored  throughout  the  world  The  Centennial  Movement,  which 
is  designed  to  .idd  m.)lerij|  possessions  to  the  College,  that  ils  second  century  work 
m.iy  not  be  impeded,  seems  assured  of  success  because  of  the  hearty  support  lent  it 
by   Davids<m  s  "i.OOO  alumni  and   ils  countless  friends. 

The  Davidson  College  Alumni  Association,  through  its  ofTiccrs  and  its  office 
.It  the  College,  is  lending  active  support  to  the  College  and  its  building  program. 
I'he  alumni  secretary.  Conrad  Irederick  Smith.  '26.  is  also  publicity  director  of  the 
College,  and  as  such,  is  working  hand  in  hand  with  the  Administration  in  telling 
the  world  about  Davidson  Davidson's  reputation  has  never  shown  more  brightly, 
and  it  is  the  desire  of  all  connected  with  the  College  that  this  reputation  and  this 
firm  hold  that  Davidson  has  upon  the  public  be  translated  into  active  support  of 
its  Centennial  Program  and  of  the  years  to  come. 

The  year  has  been  a  vital  one  from  the  standpoint  of  alumni  meetings  and 
interest  shown  by  old  Davidson  grads  everywhere.  It  has  been  generally  agreed  that 
there  has  never  been  a  more  interesting  program  than  the  Homecoming  Day  meet- 
ing in  the  banquet  hall  last  November  6lh.  just  before  the  Carolina  game  I  hree 
speakers  of  unusual  worth  ssere  on  the  program:  Dr  Julian  Miller,  editor  of  the 
Charlolle  0/).mtl'it,  David  Ovens,  head  of  Ivey's  Department  Store.  Charlotte,  and 
Dr.  Walter  1..  I. ingle,  president  of  the  College  Their  talks  were  brilliant  and  witty, 
and  entertained  the  large  crowd  of  Homccomers  no  end.  Then  of  course,  the  intro- 
duction and  the  presiding  grace  of  Dr.  Orcn  Moore.  '08.  president  of  the  Alumni 
Association  added  nnuh  to  the  success  of  the  meeting.  Several  were  heard  to  say  that  no  better  collection  of  speakers  in  North  Caro- 
lina could  have  gotten  together  for  any  occasion. 

During  one  week  in  November,  the  alumni  secretary  spoke  before  Davidson  alumni  meetings  in  Philadelphia.  New  York  and 
Boston.  It  was  good  to  sec  the  interest  in  Davidson  displayed  at  all  these  meetings.  One  of  the  largest  meetings  of  the  fall  was  held 
in  Winston-Salem  on  November  1st.  Professor  Archibald  Currie.  of  the  College  faculty,  delivered  an  inspiring  address:  "The 
Things  That  Have  Made  Davidson  Great.  "  Professor  Currie  was  also  the  main  speaker  at  a  large  meeting  of  Charlotte  and  Meck- 
lenburg County  alumni  a  few  weeks  later.  More  than  200  persons  were  present  at  this,  the  largest  meeting  of  Davidson  alumni  off 
the    campus. 

Two    new    chapters    were   organized    during    the    year,    those    at    Memphis  and   Boston. 

April  started  off  the  1  ounders  Day  meetings,  which  centered  about  the  Founders  Day  celebration  at  the  College  on  April 
12th.  Among  the  best  meetings  were  those  in  Atlanta,  presided  over  by  Dr.  W.  M.  Dunn.  04:  in  Rock  Hill.  S.  C.  presided 
over  by  Dan  S.  LaFar,  '51:  in  Florence,  S.  C  presided  over  by  Dr.  Julian  Price.  '22:  and  Gastonia.  N.  C  over  which  Frank  P. 
Hall.  Jr..   '20.   was  the  presiding  official. 

Davidson  now  has  an  Oriental  chapter,  composed  of  four  members,  of  which  Rev.  A  P.  Hassell.  D.D..  06.  is  president: 
Rev.  Martell  A.  Trcmain.  '20.  vice-president:  Rev.  J.  Harper  Brady.  14.  treasurer:  Rev.  J.  A.  McAlpinc.  '27,  secretary.  And  before 
long,    several    alumni    in    Mexico    intend    to    get    together    and    form    an  organization  below  the  Rio  Grande. 

The  April  I  2th  I'oundcrs  Day  meeting  was  one  of  the  largest  celebrations  ever  held  at  Davidson.  Governor  Clyde  R.  Hoey. 
who  received  an  honorary  degree  from  Davidson  last  spring,  was  the  main  speaker.  With  many  other  attractions,  the  program 
attracted  a   large  number  of  visitors  from   far  and   wide. 

The  Alumni  Association  is  being  recognized  more  and  more  as  an  invaluable  adjunct  to  the  College,  not  only  in  its  tradition 
and  history,   but  in  active  support  of  all   the  aims  and   worthwhile    projects   of    the   College.

THE     TRUSTEES 

The  Trustees  of  Davidson  College  arc  the  Administrative  directors  of  the  school,  and  in  their  hands  lies  the  control  of  the  entire 
college.  This  group  endeavors,  not  only  to  solve  the  problems  of  the  school  as  a  whole,  but  to  provide  for  the  needs  of  the  students 
themselves.  At  the  Trustees'  semi-annual  meetings  they  receive  reports  from  the  President  of  the  college,  who  summarizes  the  vari- 
ous activities  and  places  before  the  Board  the  general  needs  of  the  school.  Mr.  F.  L.  Jackson  reports  the  college's  financial  situation 
and  aids  the  Finance  Committee  in  its  work.  The  different  faculty  Committees,  which  are  in  close  touch  with  the  students,  also 
report  at  this  time,  and  help  in  providing  for  the  boys'  needs.  Almost  every  form  of  college  activities  falls  under  the  Trustees' 
scope,    and   no   important   step   can    be   taken    without    their   ratification. 

The  Trustees  are  elected  for  terms  of  four  years  by  the  Presbyteries  of  North  Carolina  and  Florida,  and  by  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion. The  Presbytery  of  Concord  is  entitled  to  elect  eight:  Mecklenburg,  five;  Orange  and  Fayetteville,  four  each:  and' the  other  five 
North  Carolina  Presbyteries,  as  well  as  the  three  in  Florida,  elect  two.  The  Alumni  Association  is  especially  important  in  that  it 
selects  twelve  members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

At  their  meeting  in  February  the  Trustees  took  under  consideration  several  new  projects.  The  most  important  of  these  was 
the  authorization  of  the  Buildings  and  Grounds  Committee  to  make  plans  and  specifications  for  a  new  library.  This  was  done  in 
order  that  construction  might  be  started  as  soon  as  sufficient  funds  were  in  sight.  The  Committee  was  also  instructed  to  have  general 
plans  drawn  for  a  new  science  building,  although  no  definite  decision  has  yet  been  reached  about  this  matter.  In  the  President's 
report  the  college's  present  need  of  several  new  buildings,  including  a  library,  science  building,  church,  dormitory,  gymnasium,  and 
social   center   was   stressed. 

The  Trustees  also  discussed  at  length  ways  of  keeping  Davidson  abreast  with  the  most  modern  ideas  of  education.  This  prob- 
lem is  not  a  new  one:  and.  in  an  effort  to  solve  it.  the  Trustees  sent  ten  professors  last  summer  to  schools  where  they  could  do 
research  work  in  their  individual  fields.  The  result  was  so  successful  that  next  summer  the  same  plan  will  be  followed,  and  six  men 
will  be  sent  by  the  Board  to  various  graduate  institutions.  The  idea  has  not  yet  received  the  Trustees'  sanction  to  become  an  annual 
affair,  but  some  program  of  this  kind  will  be  followed  in  the  future.  In  his  report  Dr.  Lingle  proposed  a  plan  that  has  been  very 
favorably  received — a  sort  of  Sabbatical  year,  applicable  to  the  faculty.  Every  six  or  seven  years  each  faculty  member  will  be  given 
a  year  or  six  months'  leave  of  absence  in  which  to  study  the  latest  developments  in  his  field.  The  Trustees  have  already  appointed 
a  Committee  to  make  a  study  of  this  plan,   and  it  is  quite  probable  that  it  will  be-adopted  in  the  near  future.

Martin  L.  Laffkrtv 
President 

Carrying  with  it  a  long  time  record  of  successful 
enforcement  of  the  Honor  System,  the  Student  Coun- 
cil continues  to  be  the  most  esteemed  body  on  the 
campus.  This  group  is  composed  of  fourteen  mem- 
bers, including  the  President  of  the  Student  Body, 
the  Presidents  of  the  three  upper  classes,  and  ten 
councilmen  of  whom  five  shall  come  from  the  Senior 
Class,  three  from  the  Junior  Class,  and  two  from  the 
Sophomore  Class.  These  councilmen  are  elected  by 
secret  ballot  from  a  vote  of  their  respective  classes. 

Diversified  duties  keep  the  Council  constantly  at 
work,  and  it  is  a  vital  element  in  the  promotion  of 
higher  ideals  on  the  campus.  The  aforementioned 
Honor  System  is  strictly  adhered  to  by  the  Council, 
and  all  violations  of  this  code  are  tried  by  them.  A 
two-thirds  vote  of  members  present  at  trial  is  neces- 
sary for  conviction. 

Supervision  of  the  Court  of  Control  is  another 
task  with  which  the  Student  Council  is  empowered. 
Any  matters  of  discipline  of  freshmen  that,  in  the 
opinion  of  the  Court,  are  serious  enough  to  warrant 
suspension  or  dismissal  from  college  arc  referred  to 
the  Council  for  action. 

Amendments  to  the  Constitution  of  the  Student 
Government  arc  first  passed  upon  by  the  Student 
Council.  Then  the  proposed  amendment  is  read 
before  the  Student  Body,  after  which  it  is  tabled  for 
a  ten-day  period,  at  the  end  of  which  time  a  vote  of 
the  Student  Body  is  taken.  A  two-thirds  majority  is 
necessary  for  adoption. 

Taken  in  a  sweeping  glance,  the  Student  Council 
represents  an  organization  instituted  for  the  fostering 
of  an  idealistic  Davidson.

Davidson's  whole  student  body  arc  members  of  the  Athletic  Association.  Through  this  organization  the  spirit 
of  Davidson  and  her  Wildcats  is  better  expressed  than  through  any  other  activity.  Every  student  shows  an  active 
interest  in  some  sport,  whether  that  interest  be  expressed  in  intramural,  inter-fraternity,  or  varsity  competition. 
Back  of  every  team  representing  Davidson  is  the  support  of  the  Athletic  Association.  And  not  only  does  it  give 
its  whole-hearted  backing  to  athletic  activities,  but  the  association,  through  its  officers  and  council,  passes  on  the 
awarding  of  letters  for  varsity  competition,  awards  Freshmen  numerals,  and  is  in  active  contact  with  every  athletic 
event  on  the  campus.

This  body  is  composed  of  eight  members,  whose  duties  arc  to  hear,  investigate,  and  deal  with 
the  charges  of  upperclassmen  against  freshmen  for  improper  conduct,  such  as  unbecoming  at- 
titude, violating  freshman  regulations,  or  breaking  college  traditions.  Any  freshman  charged  is 
apprehended,  tried  by  the  Court,  and  sentenced  if  found  guilty. 

The  Court  exercises  the  power  to  confine  to  the  campus  any  freshman  whose  offense  is  not 
serious  enough  to  warrant  suspension  from  college.  Any  matters  of  discipline  that,  in  the  opin- 
ion of  the  Court,  are  serious  enough  to  justify  suspension  or  dismissal  from  college  are  referred 
to  the  Student  Council. 

The  eight  members  of  the  Court  are  appointed  by  the  President  of  the  Student  Body  in  con- 
ference with  the  Senior  members  of  the  Student  Council.  Officers  of  the  Court  include  a  Judge, 
who  presides  over  the  Court,  and  a  Recorder,  who  keeps  an  accurate  record  of  all  proceedings  of 
the  Court.

THE  CLASS 

OF 

1941 


The  one  hundred  and  first  Class  of  Davidson  College  came  to  the  campus  on  September  10. 
Peculiar  among  Davidson  freshmen,  they  found  that  they  already  had  a  leader  when  they 
arrived.  The  Constitution  had  been  changed  the  preceding  spring,  empowering  the  Senior 
Class  to  choose  one  of  their  own  number  as  Freshman  Adviser.  Shortly  afterwards,  Watson 
Street  was  elected  to  this  position.  From  September  10-14.  the  freshmen  had  the  campus  to 
themselves,  under  the  guidance  of  Dr.  Gwynn  and  the  "Y"  Cabinet,  but  after  these  days  of 
counsel  and  last  minute  advice  they  were  swallowed  up  in  the  horde  of  upperclassmen  who  hit 
the  campus. 

The  frosh  were  soon  made  to  feel  their  appropriate  place  by  the  upperclassmen.  Within 
a  few  days  they  were  bearing  all  the  marks  of  their  traditional  inferiority  and  performing 
their  menial  tasks.  The  judge  and  his  court  seemed  well  pleased  with  the  behavior  of  the 
class  until  late  in  the  fall  when  sentences  were  frequent  and  severe.  Their  chief  indiscretion,  for 
which  they  have  become  famous,  lay  in  their  ability  to  misplace  laundry.  Of  course  an  occa- 
sional outburst  of  spirit  was  characteristic  of  the  class,  but  this  spirit  was  expressed  for  the 
most  part  through  legitimate  channels. 

The  Class  of  '41  feels  that  it  has  made  a  contribution  to  subsequent  freshmen  who  come 
to  Davidson.  When  the  Class  numerals,  artistically  done,  appeared  on  the  water  tank,  the 
frosh  took  immediate  steps  to  prove  that  the  culprit  was  not  one  of  their  own  number:  and 
having  done  so  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  Court,  they  were  released  from  campus,  the  first  class 
in  many  years  to  escape  the  traditional  two  weeks  strict  campus. 

In  regard  to  accomplishments,  the  present  class  is  on  par  with  the  average  Class  of  the  past. 
Despite  the  fact  that  approximately  forty  of  their  number  were  missing  after  the  first  semester, 
those  remaining  made  contributions  in  the  realm  of  Art,  Music  and  Scholarship.  Various 
extra-curricula  activities  claimed  a  great  part  of  their  talents.  Their  athletic  record  was  not 
impressive,  though  several  men  of  ability  and  promise  were  on  the  various  teams. 

In  the  Spring,  the  Class  has  found  itself  the  center  of  much  discussion  concerning  fresh- 
men voting.  The  Class  of  '42  will  be  the  first    to  enjoy  this  privilege.

QUIPS  AND  CRANKS 


As  the  year-book  of  the  Senior  Class,  the  QuiPS  AND  CRANKS  for  1938  offers  a  means  of 
preserving  a  cross-section  of  student  life  at  Davidson.  Hardly  content  to  end  the  job  with  Stu- 
dents' picture  and  accounts  of  extra-curricular  activities,  the  staff  has  tried  to  embody  in  the 
book  a  bit  of  the  famous  Wildcat  spirit. 

Many  new  features  have  been  added  and  changes  have  been  effected  in  order  to  obtain  a 
more  colorful  and  accurate  picture  of  Davidsan  College  life.  For  the  first  time  there  is  included 
a  beauty  section  containing  girls'  pictures  submitted  by  members  of  the  student  body  and  se- 
lected for  publication  by  a  well-known  artist. 

Readily  seen  is  the  influence  of  the  candid  camera  craze  which  has  invaded  the  Davidson 
campus  this  year.  Dozens  of  students  have  been  dashing  madly  about,  snapping  shutters  at  odd 
moments  in  order  to  catch  their  roommates,  fraternity  brothers,  and  football  heroes  in  unusual 
— often  embarrassing— poses.  The  result  was  amazing,  and  so  a  collection  of  the  best  of  these 
has  been  incorporated  into  this  book.

THE  DAVIDSONIAN 

Striving  "for  a  better  Davidson,"  The  Davidsonian  is  the  students'  weekly  newspaper  pre- 
senting the  news  of  both  the  college  and  the  village.  On  each  Monday  night  of  the  college 
year,  the  editorial  staff — consisting  of  the  editor-in-chief,  six  managing  editors,  and  the  under- 
classmen reporters — meets  in  its  office  on  Elm  Row  to  synthetizc  the  news  of  the  previous 
week  and  prepare  copy  for  the  printer. 

Thru  the  signal  efforts  of  the  editor,  numerous  reforms  have  been  effected  so  that  the  paper 
may  be  more  truly  the  students'.  Progressive  in  policy,  the  staff  takes  an  active  part  in  campus 
affairs. 

The  Davidsonian  receives  financial  support  from  two  major  sources,  the  funds  of  the  Pub- 
lications Board  and  advertising.  Under  the  supervision  of  the  business  manager,  advertising  is 
solicited  and  the  newspaper  is  mailed  to  alumni  subscribers  and  distributed  to  members  of  the 
student  body. 

The  Davidsonian  is  recognized  as  one  of  the 
most  progressive  college  papers  in  the  South  and 
has  been  ranked  as  a  first-class  honor  newspaper 
by  the  National  Scholastic  Press  Association  in 
nation-wide  competition  for  a  number  of  years.

SCRIPTS  'N  PRANKS 


To  afford  an  opportunity  for  aspiring  young  scribes.  Scripts  'n  Pranks,  campus  humor 
magazine,  is  published  four  times  during  the  college  year.  Each  issue  brings  to  light  new  lit- 
erary talent,  as  embryo  authors  see  their  first  poem — or  short  story — in  print. 

Under  the  dictatorship  of  Sam  Ryburn.  editor-in-chief,  the  magazine  this  year  has  offered 
its  readers  a  wealth  of  ultra-modern  prose  and  poetry,  jokes,  and  cartoons.  Realizing  that  he 
must  keep  in  step  with  the  times.  College  Humor,  and  the  Davidsonian.  Editor  Ryburn  has 
undertaken  several  ambitious  projects,  the  most  noteworthy  of  which  was  his  promise  to  ferret 
out  the  freshmen  culprits  who  painted  the  water  tank.  After  long  dallying  he  finally  con- 
fessed that  it  was  only  a  gag  to  help  the  circulation. 

Regular  features  have  this  year  included 
"Notes  To  You,"  a  commentary  on  orchestras 
and  music  by  Dick  Vowles  and  Walt  Heilman; 
"The  Book  Shelf,"  a  column  of  reviews  con- 
ducted by  George  Milne:  "Poet's  Corner,"  to 
which  are  relegated  all  the  verse:  and  Ryburn's 
art  work — "air-brush"  covers,  wood-cuts,  and 
cartoons.

The  Forensic  Council,  uncler  the  supervision 
of  a  faculty  committee,  of  which  Professor  C. 
K.  Brown  is  chairman,  has  charge  of  all  inter- 
collegiate debating  at  Davidson.  The  Council 
is  composed  of  six  members,  chosen  each  year 
by  the  retiring  council  from  the  ranks  of  those 
who  have  shown  special  interest  in  debating. 
For  the  year  1937-38  the  council  was  composed 
of  William  Kiesewetter.  president;  Haywood 
Hill  and  James  Dorsett,  vice-presidents:  John 
Reisner,  secretary;  Joe  Calvin,  treasurer;  and 
Sherrard  Rice,  debate  manager. 

Among  other  duties,  the  Forensic  Council 
works  out  the  budget  and  the  schedule  of  debates 
for  the  year,  acts  as  host  to  visiting  debating 
teams,  selects  a  freshman  debating  team,  and 
conducts  a  tournament  for  this  team. 


Three  debating  trips  are  scheduled  each  year; 
one  trip  northward  into  Virginia,  Maryland, 
Pennsylvania,  New  Jersey,  and  New  York;  one 
southward  into  South  Carolina.  Georgia,  Ala- 
bama and  Florida;  and  one  westward  into 
Tennessee,  Kentucky,  and  West  Virginia.  Also, 
four  or  five  debates  are  held  at  Davidson  with 
visiting  teams.  Among  the  colleges  which  David- 
son debated  in  1937-38  were  Dartmouth,  Rut- 
gers, Westminster  of  Pennsylvania,  Hampdcn- 
Sydney,  College  of  Charleston,  University  of 
Florida.  Birmingham-Southern.  University  of 
the  South.  Southwestern,  and  Centre. 

Instead  of  scheduling  intercollegiate  debates 
for  the  freshman  team  this  year  a  tournament 
was  held  at  Davidson  among  the  six  members 
of  that  team.  This  tournament  was  judged  by 
the  varsity  debaters  and  first  and  second  prizes 
were  awarded  to  the  best  individual  debaters.

DEBATING 
TEAMS 

The  v.irsuy  debating  si)ujd  is  com- 
posed of  six  principals  and  three  alter- 
nates. This  group  is  selected  by  the 
faculty  committee  on  debating  after 
hearing  the  five-minute  trial  speeches  of 
all  candidates.  The  squad  is  then  di- 
vided into  three  teams  of  two  principles 
and  an  alternate  each.  Professor  Brown 
coaches  the  entire  squad  before  debates 
with  other  colleges  are  held. 

The  principal  subject  debated  was; 
Resolved:  That  the  National  Labor  Re- 
lations Board  should  be  empowered  to 
enforce  arbitration  of  all  industrial  dis- 
putes. In  addition,  two  debates  were 
held  on  the  question.  Resolved:  That 
the  United  States  should  adhere  to  its 
present  policy  of  neutrality.  Davidson 
defended  both  sides  of  the  former  ques- 
tion, and  the  negative  of  the  latter.

This  prominent  dramatic  organization  has  full  control  of  all  student  dramatics,  and  each 
year  it  presents  several  one-act  plays  and  a  longer  drama.  The  outstanding  Masquer  produc- 
tion of  the  year  was  the  comedy.  "The  Bishop  Misbehaves",  which  won  merited  praise  from 
the  entire  student  body.  In  choosing  their  members  the  Masquers  recognize  not  only  dramatic 
talent,  but  also  diligent  service  of  those  who  have  worked  as  managers  and  make-up  men. 

In  addition  to  having  charge  of  student  dramatics,  the  Masquers  each  year  sponsor  some 
professional  presentation  of  real  dramatic  worth.  This  year  their  choice  was  Shakespeare's 
"Othello"  by  the  Avon  Players.

THE  DAVIDSON  COLLEGE  SYMPHONIC  BAND 


"Men,  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  and  the  College  need  a  Band.  I  have  arBflnged  with  the  faculty  and  the  farm- 
ers of  the  surrounding  region  for  four  days  of  cotton  picking  to  fi^mce  it.  Each  class  will  pick  one  day. 
Today  the  Freshmen  will  go.  The  wagons  are  ready."  Tlj^Spoke  Colonel  Muller,  of  the  R.  O.  T.  C. 
department,  in  September  1919. 

We  of  Davidson  are  glad  to  say  that  the  Davidsoi^^^nd  has  experienced  a  "new  birth."  and  today 
it  consists  of  three  units:  The  Symphonic  Band,  tli/^DOtball  Band,  and  the  R.  O.  T.  C.  Band.  There 
is  a  great  deal  of  over-lapping  in  the  personnel  of/^Ke  groups,  yet  each  organization  has  its  distinct  rules 
and  work. 

The  Davidson  College  S,ffnphonic  Band  ifcnsists  of  sixty,  well-trained  musicians,  under  the  direction 
if  Professor  Pfohl,  Cqp,d<ictor:  Warren  Ji^hcaelK.  Assistant  Conductor;  and  Julian  Helms.  Student  Con- 


nt.      Over  twenty  .types  of  'instruments  are  used  to  form  this  excellent  musical  organi- 

ptcsents  concerts  on  and  offithe  campus  during   the   year.      Highlights   in   their   program 

ce»ts  in  WinstoivSaTem  and   Ureensboro.    and    their    broadcasts    over    stations    WSOC    and 

«e.  North  Carolina — afid  over  the  Dixie  Network  of  the  Columbia  Broadcasting  Company. 

/pertoire  slw^^^mtiant  selection  on   the  part  of  the 
iductor/^'^nd    everywhere    their    programs    received    high    praise. 
i?d  much  to  the  concerts,  indicating  that  there  are  many 
here  at  Davidson  who  should  some  day  find  their  niche  in 
the  musical  world. 

There  is  a  desire  in  the  hearts  of  all  for  an  aesthetical  apprecia- 
tion, and  music  of  the  caliber  that  the  Davidson  Symphony  presents 
does  much  to  instill  an  appreciation  of  the  beautiful.  When  dying, 
Darwin  said  that  if  he  had  his  life  to  live  over  he  would  try  to  listen 
to  beautiful  music  at  least  once  a  week.  Davidson  recognizes  the  im- 
portance of  this  art,  and  we  are  proud  of  the  way  in  which  this  recog- 
nition has  materialized  into  a  realization.

varied  performances,  proved  itself  a  very  ver- 
satile organization.     In  its  red  and  black  mili- 
tary uniforms,  and  led  by  its  three  white-clad 
^-^^^y    ^^^         m^^^  '^^^^i.^^^^^H  Drum    Majors,    this    organization    makes    a 

^^^f  -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^1  appearance    as         takes    the    field. 

^^^L  ^      ^^^^^^B^^^^^L     ^A^^^^^l  Known  as  "The  Stepping.  Playing,  and  Sing-

JaUKS    (IIKISIIAN     I'FOIIL  WlRKhN     1'.    IltiirorK  ,  „ 

the  Country. 

The  team  was  colorfully  supported  at  all  its  home  games,  and  the  State.  Wake  Forest,  and  Harvard 
games.  Universal  praise  was  given  our  band:  for  example.  The  Boston  Herald  made  this  striking  state- 
ment after  the  Harvard  game:  "Davidsons  sixty-piece  band  outshone  Harvard  .  .  .  Their  half-time  show 
was  highly  entertaining.  .  .  .  They  dragged  two  baskets  of  cotton  upon  the  field,  opened  them,  and  out 
jumped  two  little  Negro  boys  .  .  .  The  visiting  band  formed  an  enthusiastic  cheering  section."  Novelty 
features  such  as  the  "Big  Apple",  the  "Cotton  Picking  Scene"  successfully  entertained  the  fans  during  the 
various  halves.  Members  of  the  band  sincerely  express  the  enjoyment  that  they  have  had  with  the  band 
this  year,  and  look  to  future  years  with  a  bright  hope. 

Members  of  the  band,  we  salute  you  and  Professor  Pfohl  for  your  excellent  contribution  to  David- 
son during  the  past  year. 


GLEE  CLUB 


TiiANE  McDonald 


Tliis  year's  Davidson  College  Varsity  Glee  Club,  under  the  direction  of  Thane  McDonald,  has  a 
limited  membership  of  thirty  voices  augmented  by  a  smaller  auxiliary  group  of  fifteen  voices.  The  Glee 
Club  has  served  regularly  as  the  Vesper  Choir  for  the  College  Sunday  evening  Vesper  Service,  at  which 
time  the  finest  sacred  choral  music  is  sung.  On  two  occasions  the  Club  has  joined  with  the  other  musical 
organizations  in  presenting  an  entire  service,  one  of  these  being  a  Musical  Vesper  Service  given  in  conjunc- 
tion with  the  Orchestra  early  in  the  first  semester.  The  other  was  the  annual  Christmas  Vesper  Service 
when  the  Glee  Club  joined  with  the  Symphonic  Band  and  Orchestra  in  a  memorable  service  of  Christmas 
hymns  and  special  numbers. 

This  year  a  fifteen  minute  Sunday  morning  Chapel  service  has  been  broadcast  direct  from  Chambers 
Auditorium  through  radio  station  WSOC.  On  this  program,  which  is  given  jointly  by  the  College 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  the  Music  Department,  the  music  consists  of  Church  Hymns  sung  by  a  selected  double 
Quartet  and  appropriate  organ   music  played   by   Mr.  McDonald. 

The  newly  organized  Varsity  Quartet  replaces  the  group  which  graduated  last  year  and  consists  of  the 
following  Glee  Club  members:  first  tenor.  James  Ballard:  second  tenor.  John  Wilson:  baritone.  Harper 
Beall;  bass.  Stuart  Oglesby. 

In  addition  to  other  outside  appearances  the  Glee  Club  went  on  the  annual  tour  in  March  making 
several   appearances   in   churches,   schools   and    Colleges.

The  most  important  element  in  any  army 
is  its  corps  of  officers.  That  fact  was  recogniz^cd 
by  Congress  on  July  2.  1862,  during  the  Civil 
War,  when  it  passed  a  bill  known  as  the  "Mor- 
rill Act"  which  required  that  military  training 
be  included  in  the  curricula  of  colleges  and  uni- 
versities receiving  grants  of  public  lands.  From 
the  Civil  War  to  the  World  War  these  institu- 
tions supplied  a  large  number  of  excellent  of- 
ficers. After  the  World  War  it  was  recognized 
that  these  college-trained  officers  were  of  in- 
estimable value,  and  as  a  result  the  provisions 
of  the  "Morrill  Act"  were  improved  and  ex- 
tended to  the  present  Reserve  Officers  Training 
Corps. 

When  the  United  States  entered  the  World 
War,  the  major  deficiency  was  trained  officers: 
and  that  lack  contributed,  more  than  any  other 
factor,  to  the  delay  in  sending  troops  to  Europe. 
Even  today  the  Regular  Army  and  the  National 
Guard  could  furnish  but  a  handful  of  officers 
in  the  event  of  a  general  emergency.  The  Re- 
serve Officers  Training  Corps  is  the  only  means 
by  which  the  great  need  could  be  met.  It  is  one 
of  our  most  important  national  institutions.  It 
is  the  keystone  of  the  arch  of  our  national  de- 
fense. 


The  Reserve  Training  Unit  was  established 
at  Davidson  College  in  1920,  following  the 
World  War.  It  has  commissioned  as  Second 
Lieutenants  in  the  Officers  Reserve  Corps  ap- 
proximately thirty-five  students  each  year  dur- 
ing the  last  fifteen  years.  Some  of  these  graduates 
have  entered  the  Regular  Army,  and  many  have 
been  and  are  on  duty  with  the  Civilian  Conser- 
vation Corps,  Others  have  taken  their  places  in 
the  business  world  and  would  be  available 
should  a  general  mobilization  become  necessary. 
In  addition  several  thousand  students  have  been 
given  a  limited  amount  of  Military  Training. 
If  the  country  is  never  forced  into  war,  the  value 
of  military  training  will  be  a  decided  asset  in 
the  business  world.  The  poise  of  mind  and 
body,  habits  of  discipline,  courtesy  and  respect 
for  constituted  authority  obtained  in  the  Reserve 
Officers  Training  Corps  will  more  than  com- 
pensate for  the  time  and  expense  devoted  to  this 
type  of  instruction.  Sound  thinking,  good 
habits,  organizing  ability,  and  leadership  come 
from  mental  discipline.  A  successful  man  must 
understand  how  to  lead  men  as  well  as  how  to 
follow.  The  Reserve  Officers  Training  Corps 
aims  to  impart  that  ability.

Captain  Bailey  Williams 
All-State  End 


N.  C.  State  6:  Davidson  2 

With  prospects  bright  for  another 
successful  year,  Davidson's  Wild- 
cats blew  the  lid  off  their  1937  sea- 
son in  a  thrilling  battle  against  the 
State  Wolfpack. 

The  Wolves  tallied  in  the  second 
quarter  on  a  pass  from  Rooney  to 
Tatum  and  hung  onto  their  lead 
for  the  remainder  of  the  fracas, 
repulsing  the  Wildcats  time  after 
time  in  the  very  shadow  of  the  goal 
posts.  The  only  Davidson  score 
came  when  Murray  of  State  was 
tossed  behind  his  own  goal  line  by 
half  the  Cat  team.  The  diminutive 
Frank  Purdy  played  a  great  defen- 
sive game  in  the  center  of  the  line, 
while  Captain  Bailey  Williams 
looked  good  at  end  until  he  was  hurt 
and  forced  out  of  the  game. 

Davidson  21;  Erskine  6 

Coach  Gene  McEver's  charges 
took  the  field  against  the  Erskine 
Seceders  as  top-heavy  favorites,  but 
the  Cat  offense  was  unable  to  get 
started  and  at  the  half  Erskine  led 
by  a  6-0  score. 

The  third  period,  however,  was  a 
different    story.    With    his    blockers 


WILDCATS

"TEIINY  ■   I.AIIIKIV,    liuih 
Honorable   Mention    AllAmeruan 


cutting  huge  gaps  in  the  opposing 
line  and  mowing  down  the  second- 
ary in  All-Amcrican  style,  fleet- 
footed  Teeny  Lafferty  carried  the 
leather  on  almost  every  play  and  led 
his  mates  in  three  touchdown  drives. 
Running  like  a  will-o'-the-wisp,  he 
gained  at  will,  while  the  defense  held 
the  Seceders  powerless. 

The  second-stringers  played  the 
last  quarter  and  failed  by  a  scant 
foot  to  add  another  six  points  to  the 
Davidson  score. 

Duke  34:  Davidson  6 

Fighting  desperately  in  the  face  of 
insurmountable  odds,  the  Wildcats 
put  up  one  of  the  gamest  battles  ever 
seen  on  Richardson  Field  before  they 
finally  succumbed  to  superior  weight 
and  numbers. 

Three  times  did  Duke  march  to 
the  Davidson  five-yard  stripe,  but 
each  time,  with  the  old  Wildcat  spirit 
flaming  high,  the  men  of  Davidson 
braced  and  took  the  ball  on  downs. 
The  Cats,  however,  were  woefully 
weak  in  the  kicking  department,  be- 
ing unable  to  boot  the  pigskin  out 
of  danger  and  just  before  the  end  of 
the  half  the  Blue  Devils  managed  to 
push  over  a  touchdown. 


In  the  second  half,  lacking  sufficient  reserves  and  outweighed  some  fifteen 
pounds  to  the  man,  the  valiant  Wildcats  found  the  scoring  machine  that  rolled 
over  Georgia  Tech  and  Colgate  too  much  for  them,  although  LafFerty  thrilled 
the  stands  again  and  again  with  his  brilliant  running. 

The  bitterest  blow  felt  by  the  Davidson  football  cause  all  the  season  fell  in 
the  third  period  when  Teeny,  after  receiving  a  Duke  kickofF  and  threading  his 
way  through  the  whole  team,  was  tackled  by  Hackney.  Blue  Devil  safety  man. 
and  his  shoulder  severely  injured. 

Davidson's  tally  came  in  the  final  quarter  when  Bill  Davis  reserve  back  ter- 
minated a  long  downfield  march  by  smashing  over  the  Duke  goal  line. 

V.  M.  I.  7:   Davidson  0 

With  five  regulars  sitting  on  the  bench  because  of  injuries  sustained  in  the 
Duke  game,  the  Wildcats  were  forced  to  use  a  hastily  revised  line-up.  Fred 
Dennis  shifted  from  his  blocking  back  position  to  the  tailback  to  bear  the  brunt 
of  the  ball-carrying  duties.  Luke  Graham  moved  over  from  tackle  to  guard  to 
take  the  place  of  Haywood  Hill  and  turned  in  a  splendid  performance,  the  best 
of  his  career. 

With  the  hard-running  Dennis  lugging  the  leather  on  nearly  every  play 
Davidson  worked  into  scoring  position  time  after  time,  but  seemed  to  lack  the 
final  punch  necessary  to  put  it  over  the  Virginia  goal  line. 

The  game  was  a  nip  and  tuck  battle  except  for  the  few  minutes  when  Sopho- 
more Paul  Shu,  V.  M.  I.  halfback,  blew  hot  and  in  five  successive  plays  carried 
the  ball  over  sixty  yards  to  "pay  dirt,"  topping  off  this  feat  with  a  place  kick 
for  the  extra  point.

South  Carolina   12:  Davidson  7 

With  Laffcrty  still  nursing  his  bum  shoulder.  Davidson  again  lacked  a  scor- 
ing punch  and  were  nosed  out  of  the  win  column  by  one  touchdown  for  the 
second  time  in  as  many  Saturdays. 

Dennis  played  another  fine  game  at  the  tailback,  post  and  made  the  Cats'  only 
tally  when  he  plunged  across  the  Gamecock  double  stripe  from  the  one-yard 
marker.    Williams   making    the   conversion. 

South  Carolina  scored  its  first  touchdown  in  the  second  period  on  a  long 
pass  from  Lyons  to  Lonchar  in  the  end  zone  and  the  second  a  few  minutes  later 
when  Robinson  carried  it  across  after  recovering  a  Davidson  fumble. 

Centre  8;   Davidson  0 

Playing  with  a  blustery  snowstorm  overhead  and  slushy  conditions  under- 
foot, the  Cats  failed  to  capitalize  on  their  speedy  offense  and  the  smashing  power 
plays  of  the  Kentuckians  were  too  much  for  them. 

For  the  first  time  in  three  weeks  Laffcrty  got  in  the  game  for  a  short  while, 
but  the  mud  and  his  still  ailing  shoulder  slowed  him  up  considerably.  Bill  Davis 
took  his  place  and  shared  the  ball-carrying  chores  with  Fred  Dennis. 

Scoring  a  safety  in  the  second  quarter  and  a  touchdown  in  the  third,  the  Pray- 
ing Colonels  took  revenge  for  the  crushing  defeat  they  received  last  year  at  the 
hands  of  the  Wildcats. 

Davidson  13:  Furman  9 

Maybe  it  was  the  presence  of  the  girls  from  Winthrop  who  were  guests  of  the 
Davidson  Student  Body  for  the  day  or  maybe  it  was  the  memory  of  four  lickings 
in  as  many  weeks  and  that  14-13  loss  to  Furman  last  year,  but  the  Wildcats 
snapped  out  of  their  slump  and  calmed   the  Purple  Hurricane  to  a  gentle  zephyr. 


*  J*  ?r 


Bill  Davis  took  over  the  tailback  duties  and  did  a 
great  job  of  running  and  passing,  assisted  by  Fred 
Dennis.  Fighting  desperately  all  the  way,  the  Cats  were 
trailing  by  a  9-7  score  when  the  big  clock  showed  only 
six  minutes  to  play.  With  the  ball  resting  near  mid- 
field,  Davis  and  Dennis  advanced  it  to  the  enemy  24- 
yard  stripe  in  four  plays.  Then  Davis  faded  back  and 
cut  lose  with  a  long  heave  to  Bailey  Williams.  Sur- 
rounded by  Furman  backs,  the  big  end  went  high  in 
the  air  to  make  a  nearly  impossible  catch  and  fall  over 
the  goal  line  with  the  ball  in  his  arms. 

North  Carolina  26:  Davidson  0 

Using  solely  a  spin  play  formation,  the  Tar  Heels 
employed  speed,  power,  deception,  and  magnificent 
timing  to  exhibit  one  of  the  fastest  and  most  versatile 
attacks  ever  seen  on  Richardson  Field,  With  machine- 
like blocking  clearing  the  way  for  the  Carolina  ball- 
carriers, the  Wildcats  were  powerless  before  the  offense 
that  ran  wild  over  the  Duke  Blue  Devils  a  few  days 
later. 

In  her  only  scoring  threat  of  the  afternoon  David- 
son used  an  end-around  play  in  which  the  ball  was 
lateralled  to  Ned  Iverson,  who  heaved  a  pass  to  Wil- 
liams on  the  Carolina  15-yard  line. 


Harvard  15:  Davidson  0 

Invntiing  tlic  age-old  Ivy  League  for  an  intersectional 
game,  the  Wildcats  met  the  Oimson  in  Cambridge. 
With  the  rain  pouring  in  torrents  throughout  the  game, 
and  the  field  ankle  deep  in  water,  neither  team  was  able 
to  show  anything  like  a  consistent  running  attack. 
However  the  superior  weight  of  the  Northerners  told 
on  the  C^its  and  F-rank  f-oley  led  his  Harvard  team- 
mates tcT  victory. 

This  is  probably  the  only  game  in  modern  football 
history  in  which  neither  team  used  a  forward  pass.

Waki-  Fori  ST  19:  Davidson  7 

Afflicted  with  a  bad  case  of  fumblitis  in  the  first 
period,  the  Cats  were  unable  to  hold  onto  the  ball  and 
the  Deacons  got  away  to  an  early  lead  by  cashing  in 
on  the  Davidson  misplays. 

LafFerty  entered  the  game  in  the  second  quarter  and 
ran  wild  over  Wake  Forest  for  a  few  minutes,  but  was 
luirt  and  carried  from  the  field.  Bill  Davis  then  came 
in  and  engineered  a  passing  attack  that  netted  the  Wild- 
cats' lone  touchdown.  Using  mainly  an  off-tackle  play. 
Glass  and  Fuller  were  the  main  cogs  in  the  Deacon 
offense.

VARSITY   SQUAD 

Came  the  first  of  February  and  Coach  Gene  McEver  to  muster  the  remnants  of  the  1937 
Wildcat  grid  team  for  a  six-week  session  of  spring  training. 

Missing  from  the  ranks  were  many  of  the  stars  of  last  fall,  but  new  men  have  come  along 
to  take  their  places  in  the  line-up.  Such  veterans  as  Iverson,  Stair,  McClelland,  Davis,  and 
Captain  Warden  form  the  framework  on  which  will  be  built  the  Davidson  football  hopes 
for  next  season,  and  a  number  of  promising  grid-iron  warriors  have  risen  from  the  ranks  of 
the  freshman  squad  to  become  a  threat  to  the   oldsters. 

So  Coach  McEver  is  looking  for- 
ward to  his  second  season  as  head 
coach  with  a  smile  on  his  face  as  he 
sees  the  Wildcats  taking  the  field 
next  fall  with  the  old  fighting  spirit, 
and  another  year  in  the  history  of 
Davidson  football  has  come  to  an 
end.

BASKETBALL 


WITH  THE  WILDCAT  CAGERS 


Although  the  Davidson  Wildcat  basketball  team  failed  to  break  even  during  the 
season,  the  1937-1938  five  will  go  down  as  one  of  the  strongest  teams  in  David- 
son basketball  history.  A  total  of  twelve  points  made  the  difference  between  third 
and  eleventh  place  in  the  Southern  Conference  standings  to  the  Davidson  "junior" 
cagers  as  the  Wildcats  came  to  be  known  since  four  members  of  the  varsity  quintet 
were  juniors  and  will  be  back  for  another  year  of  service. 

Six  games  were  lost  in  conference  play  by  a  margin  of  two  or  less  points. 
Victories  in  these  games  would  have  landed  the  'Cats  into  third  place,  behind 
North  Carolina  and  N.  C.   State. 

The  highlight  of  the  season  was  Davidson's  18-point.  40-22.  victory  over  the 
Duke  Blue  Devils  in  Winston-Salem  early  in  the  season.  This  Davidson  victory 
broke  a  I  7-game  losing  streak  which  the  Dukes  held  over  the  'Cats  for  the  past 
nine  years.  These  same  Blue  Devils  went  on  later  in  the  season  to  win  the  Southern 
Conference  tourney. 


{»•  V 


With  the  best  m.iiori.il  in  many  years  on  hand.  Athletic 
director  Norman  Shcpard  replaced  Tlake  l.aird.  who  had  served 
the  past  six  years,  as  varsity  basketball  coach. 

The  Cats  started  off  fast  and  went  into  their  mid  term 
examination  stretch  with  six  wins  in  ten  starts,  three  of  their 
losses  being  by  one,  two  and  three-point  margins  to  North 
Carolina.  N.  C.  Stale,  and  the  crack  semi-pro  McCrary  quintet 
respectively. 

However  this  two-week  examination  lay-off  saw  the  Wild- 
.at.s  fall  back  and  win  but  four  of  their  remaining  twelve  games 
after  exams.  Davidson's  61  points  against  Furman.  along  with 
Washington  and  I.ce's  61  markers  against  William  and  Mary, 
was  the  individual  game  high  for  the  season  in  conference  play. 

Four  juniors  carried  the  brunt  of  the  burden  for  the  Cats  this 
season.  Ned  Iverson.  Johnny  lice.  J.  D.  Hicks  and  Footsie 
Cowan  teamed  together  along  with  Bill  Kiesewetter  and  Dan 
Iverson.  two  senior  guards,  to  form  the  best  quintet  that  David- 
son has  had  since  the  1929-1930  season.  Cowan,  a  transfer 
from  Mars  Hill,  was  high  scorer  for  the  season  with  223  points. 

This  was  Davidson's  2  3rd  season  in  intercollegiate  basketball 
competition  and  the  Davidson  record  for  this  period  stands  with 
193  wins  against  190  losses.  During  this  time  Davidson  teams 
have  scored   12.332   points  to  their  opponents'    11.577.

TRACK 


ON   THE  CINDER  PATH 


CAPTAIN  Monroe  Wicker 


What  was  destined  to  be  one  of  the  strongest  Davidson  track  teams 
in  many  seasons  ran  into  trouble  before  the  opening  of  the  season  when 
it  lost  its  captain  and  star  hurdler.  Monroe  Wicker,  and  its  Southern 
Conference  pole  vault  champion,  Charlie  Sample.  The  loss  of  these  two 
stars  cost  the  Wildcats  their  first  meet  of  the  season  which  was  lost  to 
the  University  of  South  Carolina  67-64. 

The  Wildcats,  coached  by  Pete  Whittle  for  the  third  season,  got 
off  to  a  good  pre-season  start  when  they  tied  with  Virginia  Poly  for 
third  place  in  the  ninth  annual  Southern  Conference  indoor  track  meet 
held  at  Chapel  Hill. 


It  was  at  this  meet  that  Charlie  Sample,  a  junior, 
won  the  conference  pole  vault  title  by  clearing  1  2 
feet  2  inches,  which  is  several  inches  short  of  John 
Lee's  school  record  of  1  2  feet  7%  inches,  established 
in  1936.  However  the  week  before  the  Wildcats 
were  scheduled  to  open  their  1938  campaign  with 
the  University  of  South  Carolina,  both  Charlie 
Sample  and  Monroe  Wicker  went  down  with  in- 
juries. 

Captain  Wicker  sustained  a  leg  injury  which  kept 
him  out  of  both  the  South  Carolina  and  Maryville 
meets  but  he  was  expected  to  be  back  in  shape  in  time 
for  the  Wildcat's  third  meet  of  the  season,  with  Vir- 
ginia Poly  at  Blacksburg. 

The  University  of  Virginia  was  the  only  new 
team  to  appear  on  the  track  schedule  this  season. 
replacing  Furman  and  Catawba.  Otherwise  the  sche- 
dule remained  intact  from  last  season. 

As  the  Wildcats  won  six  of  their  seven  meets  last 
season,  only  two  opponents  loomed  in  the  way  of  a 


perfect  record  for  the  'Cats,  most  of  whom  returned 
from  last  year's  squad.  These  two  opponents  were  the 
Duke  Blue  Devils,  conquerers  of  the  'Cats  last  sea- 
son, the  University  of  Virginia,  winners  of  the 
Chapel  Hill  non-conference  track  tourney  this  spring. 

However  the  Whittlemen  saw  their  possible  unde- 
feated dream  pass  as  they  went  down  in  defeat  in  an 
upset  to  the  University  of  South  Carolina  by  a  67-64 
count  with  a  sure  15  points  sitting  on  the  side  lines 
in  the  persons  of  Sample  and  Wicker. 

This  writing  finds  the  Wildcats  on  the  way  to 
Maryville.  Tenn..  when  the  Whittlemen  were  odds 
on  favorites  to  defeat  the  Maryville  Scotties. 

But  the  remainder  of  the  picture  is  uncertain.  With- 
out the  services  of  Sample,  a  sure  winner  in  the  pole 
vault,  meets  with  Virginia  Poly.  Virginia  and  Citadel 
will  probably  be  too  close.  Against  the  Duke  Blue 
Devils,  the  Wildcats  have  only  an  outside  chance  at 
the  most. 


I'lii-  'C;.\ls  loom  strong  in  tlii'  fklil  events  and  well  lorti 
fu'd  in  tlic  running  events.  The  onlv  Davidson  all-time  records 
tliat  appear  in  danger  this  season  are  Coble's  180  feet  2  inch 
javelin  throw,  established  in  IQ'il,  and  Cochran's  MS  feet 
4  inch  discus  heave,  established  in  IQH.  Swede  Johnson  looms 
as  a  threat  to  topple  Coble's  mark  while  Bailey  Williams,  foot- 
ball captain,  has  a  good  chance  to  top  Clochran's  record. 

The  line-up  tor  the  Wildcats  this  season  appears  as  follows: 

100-yard  dash:  Wilson.  Birmingham,  and  Baker. 

220-yard  dash:  Wilson.  Baker  and  Barrow. 

440-yard  dash:  Hickman.  Mc Alpine  and  Patterson. 

880-yard  dash:  Hickman.  Walker  and  D.  Gammon. 

Mile  run:  Parccll.  Woodward  and  Walker. 

Two  mile  run:  Parccll.  Woodward  and  Telford. 

Low  hurdles:  Barrow  and  Wicker. 

High  hurdles;  Barrow.  Rader  and  Wicker. 

High  jump:  Cowan.  Iverson.  and  Black.

BASEBALL 


ON  THE  DIAMOND 


Even  though  the  Wildcats  dropped  their  first  two  starts  and  had 
their  next  three  games  rained  out,  prospects  for  a  successful  1938 
baseball  campaign  are  the  best  since  the  1932  season. 

The  1938  Wildcat  nine  appears  to  be  a  well  balanced  outfit,  there 
being  nine  good  but  no  outstanding  ball  players  on  the  club.  With 
Jim  Thomas,  Dave  McLean  and  George  Ficklen  around  to  help  last 
season's  veterans,  J.  D.  Hicks  and  Eddie  Stcere,  carry  the  burden  of 
the  mound  duty,  the  Wildcats  seem  well  fortified  on  the  hill. 

The  Wildcat  infield,  with  Jim  Dunford  on  first.  Grey  Hunter  on 
second,  Ellwood  Moyer  on  short  and  Sam  Hemphill  at  the  hot 
corner,  should  stack  up  well  with  the  remainder  of  the  Southern 
Conference  infields.  Walter  Fitzgerald  and  Dick  Lindsey  give  Coach 
Flake  Laird  two  capable  reserve  infielders. 

In  the  outer  garden  the  'Cats  have  Hugh  Verner  in  left.  Tubby 
Hand  in  center,  and  John  Rudisill  in  right,  with  Fielding  Clark 
doing  relief  duty. 

Captain  Joe  Kellam  carries  the  brunt  of  the  catching  assignment 
with  Horace  McCall  and  Bill  Manson  working  as  second  string 
receivers. 

That  is  the  way  the  Davidson  baseball  is  shaping  up  at  this  writ- 
ing. With  only  two  games  behind  them  it  is  hard  to  tell  just  how 
the  Wildcats  will  go  as  neither  of  their  games  have  been  with  South- 
ern Conference  opponents  and  the  'Cats  have  12  conference  games  this 
season. 

Although  the  Wildcats  dropped  their  opening  game  to  the  Lance 
Packing  Company  of  Charlotte  7-5.  the  'Cats  gave  every  indication 
that  afternoon  that  they  were  in  for  a  good  season. 

However  in  their  second  contest,  the  Lairdmen  went  to  pieces 
after  piling  up  a  9-6  lead  in  the  fifth  frame  and  ended  up  on  the 
wrong  end  of  a  24-9  count.  This  agony  lasted  exactly  3  hours  and 
5  minutes. 

To  ask  the  'Cats  to  more  than  break  even  in  the  win  and  loss 
column  this  season  would  be  demanding  too  much:  but  to  see  the 
Lairdmen  accomplish  this  would  not  be  surprising  even  though  they 
got  off  to  a  bad  start. 

At  the  present  time  the  pitching  staff  is  somewhat  crippled  as  the 
club's  ace,  J.  D.  Hicks,  is  unable  to  make  trips.  If  this  holds  true  for 
the  season  Davidson  will  be  in  a  bad  way  when  the  'Cats  make  that 
state  trip  to  Carolina.  State.  Duke  and  Wake  Forest  on  successive 
days  the  last  week  in  April. 

The  club  got  its  first  break  from  the  weather  man  in  many  years 
in  its  spring  practice  before  the  opening  of  the  schedule.  For  three 
straight  weeks,  with  the  exception  of  one  afternoon,  the  'Cats  were 
able  to  get  in  their  daily  practice  and  when  the  opening  game  pulled 
around,  the  Davidson  nine  was  in  the  best  shape  that  any  Davidson 
baseball  club  has  been  in  at  that  time  of  the  season  in  many  years. 

However  about  this  time  the  weather  man  forsook  the  Wildcat 
camp  and  came  down  in  wrath,  raining  out  Davidson's  first  three  Big 
Five  and  Southern  Conference  games,  a  doublchcadcr  with  Duke  and 
a  single  game  with  North  Carolina,

As  was  the  case  with  the  basketball  quintet,  the  seasons  win  and  loss  record  of  one  win  in  seven 
meets  does  not  give  a  true  picture  of  the  Davidson  wrestling  team  for  the  1937-1938  season.  Three 
of  the  Davidson  losses  were  by  a  margin  of  two  or  less  points  and  in  only  one  of  the  seven  meets 
were  the  'Cats  badly  outclassed. 

V.  M.  I..  Southern  Conference  champions  this  season,  found  the  Wildcats  plenty  tough  and  the 
Cadets  were  lucky  to  score  a  14J.2-13}!  win  over  the  plucky  Davidson  matmcn.  coached  for  the 
second  straight  season  by  Parks  Harrison. 

N.  C.  State.  Big  Five  champions  and  generally  regarded  as  one  of  the  strongest  teams  in  the 
South  this  season,  barely  defeated  the  Cats  16-14  and  the  Winston-Salem  Y.  M.  C.  A.  also  handed 
the   Harrisonmcn   a    similar   defeat   in   the   opening    meet  of  the  season. 

Only  against  the  Washington  and  Lee  Generals  were  the  Wildcats  completely  outclassed.  In 
this  meet,  heavyweight  Captain  Howard  McFadyen's  decision  over  Lykes  saved  Davidson  from  a 
shut-out.  Davidson's  lone  win  of  the  season  was  over  the  Duke  Blue  Devil  machine  by  the  score  of 
24  to  8. 

Scoring  a  total  of  2  6  points  during  the  season.  Captain  Howard  McFadyen.  heavyweight,  was 
undoubtedly  the  standout  on  the  team  and  he  went  on  to  capture  the  heavyweight  title  in  the  South- 
ern Conference  tourney.  No  tourney  was  held  last  year  and  as  McFadyen  was  high  scorer  among  the 
conference  heavyweights  he  is  credited  as  being  the  Southern  Conference  heavyweight  champion  for 
the  past  two  years.  The  only  match  that  McFadyen  lost  the  past  two  years  in  meets  was  a  decision 
to    Davis   of    Virginia    Poly    this   season. 

The  surprise  of  the  season  was  work  of  captain-elect  Joe  Craver  who  scored  five  wins  in  seven 
meets   and    then    went    on    to   capture    third    place   in   the    13  5-pound   class   in   the   conference   tourney. 

The  Wildcats  sent  four  men.  Captain  Howard  McFadyen,  captain-elect  Joe  Craver.  Bill  Telford 
and  Graham  McFadyen.  to  the  Southern  Conference  tourney  in  Blacksburg  and  this  half-a-team 
came  back  successfully   in   a   tie  for  third   place.

WITH  THE  RACQUET  WIELDERS 


Sweeping  through  to  capture  seven  of  their  first  eight  matches 
while  losing  but  12  points,  the  Davidson  Wildcat  tennis  team 
definitely  established  itself  as  one  of  the  outstanding  net  teams 
in   the  South   for  the    1938   season. 

Captain  Harry  Frampton.  James  Reinhardt.  and  Rhea  Tenney 
set  the  pace  for  the  Wildcats  in  these  first  eight  meets  as  they 
went  undefeated  in  their  eight  single  matches. 

Reinhardt  set  an  amazing  record  of  winning  16  straight  sets 
in  his  eight  matches,  losing  but  a  total  of  29  games  while  win- 
ning 97  games.  Captain  Frampton  follows  close  behind  with  16 
straight  set  victories  showing  a  loss  of  only  J6  games. 

Davidson's  number  one  man,  Rhea  Tenney.  a  sophomore, 
also  came  through  with  a  great  record.  In  his  8  matches  he  ha.s 
dropped  but  5  sets  while  winning  16.  Tenney  completes  the 
trio   of    Davidsons    undefeated    single    players. 

Bronston  Kcnney.  number  two  senior,  has  not  fared  as  well 
as  the  others  this  season  although  his  record  of  five  wins  in 
seven  matches  is  very  good.  George  Jones,  a  junior,  playing 
at  number  five,  has  come  through  with  six  wins  in  eight 
meets  while  Northcross.  competing  the  team  at  the  sixth  posi- 
tion, has  five  wins  in  six  matches. 

Thus  for  the  first  eight  meets  of  the  season  the  Wildcats 
have  a  remarkable  record  of  56  points  against  their  Opponents' 
12.  Six  of  these  losses  have  been  in  the  doubles  play. 

Rhea  Tenney  and  Bronston  Kenney  have  dominated  the  play 
in  the  doubles  for  the  Wildcats  for  the  season,  having  suffered 
but  one  setback  in  their  seven  matches. 

At  this  writing  Davidson  has  scored  wins  over  South  Caro- 
lina. Presbyterian.  Furman.  Mercer.  Rollins.  Stetson  and  the 
Hickory   tennis  club.    Only    Emory    has   been   able   to   topple   the 


'Cats  and  this  was  by  the  narrowest  of  margins.   S-4.  Davidson 
has  dropped  but  7  points  to  their  other  seven  opponents. 

Nine  other  matches,  along  with  the  Southern  Conference 
schedule,  remain  on  the  Wildcat  schedule.  The  Wildcats  will 
be  favored  to  take  all  of  their  remaining  matches  and  should 
have  a  fighting  chance  to  defeat  the  ever  powerful  North  Caro- 
lina tennis  team  this  season. 

The  individual  record  of  the  Wildcat  netmen  for  their  first 
eight  matches  follows:

FORE! 


With  only  one  veteran  returning  from  last  year's  record  breaking  golf  team, 
Davidson's  linksmen  enjoyed  a  fairly  good  season.  Out  of  a  nine-game  schedule, 
the  'Cats  won  four  of  the  first  six  matches  played. 

The  'Cats  opened  their  season  with  a  one-sided  win  over  Catawba  by  a 
8';  -3' 7  score  in  a  match  played  at  the  Charlotte  course.  Then  turning  south- 
ward, they  continued  their  winning  ways  with  a  close  victory  over  the  Univer- 
sity of  South  Carolina  by  a  10-8  score.  Maples  and  Pittman  turned  in  the  best 
cards  for  the  match. 

Citadel  stopped  the  'Cats'  winning  streak  of  two  games  by  taking  them  into 
camp  to  the  tune  of  9J/2  -8J/^  ,  after  the  'Cats  had  led  most  of  the  way.  Florida 
made  it  two  losses  in  a  row  for  the  linksmen  as  they  finally  eked  out  a  10-8  win. 

The  'Cats  then  returned  to  form  and  won  the  next  two  matches  with  com- 
parative ease.  Georgia  furnished  plenty  of  opposition  but  the  'Cats  garnered  a 
9'  2  -8'  7  win.  Returning  to  Davidson,  the  'Cats  overwhelmed  Hampden-Sydney 
by  a   14-4  score. 

The  team  was  composed  this  year  of  Ray  Pittman  as  the  number  one  man, 
Charley  Pegram  as  number  two,  Henson  Maples  as  number  three,  and  Jimmy 
Cooper  as  four.    Yates  Faison  acted  as  alternate. 

Maples,  who  was  medalist  for  the  year,  played  superb  golf  of  the  brand  that 
won  him  the  Amateur  tournament  held  at  Pinehurst  early  in  the  season.  He  is 
a  senior  and  was  a  member  of  last  year's  fine  quartet.  This  year  he  has  acted 
as  both  manager  and  captain  of  the  team. 

Pittman  played  his  first  year  of  varsity  golf  and  will  be  available  for  service 
next  year.  He  made  the  frosh  quartet  his  first  year,  and  ranked  high  in  last 
year's  tourney.  Pegram  is  one  of  the  two  sophomores  on  the  team.  He  played 
number  two  position  on  the  frosh  team  and  scored  third  in  the  qualifying 
tournament.  He  will  be  available  for  two  more  years'  service  on  the  team. 
Cooper  is  the  other  sophomore  on  the  team.  He  also  played  on  the  frosh  team 
in  his  first  year  and  has  two  more  years  of  eligibility. 


CROSS  COUNTRY 


Cammcin,  }.  Cammon. 

Besides  winning  what  is  thought  to  be  the  first  night  triangular  cross  country  meet  ever  held,  the  Davidson  cindcrpath- 
men.  coached  by  Pete  Whittle,  finished  the  season  in  second  place  in  the  Big  Pive  and  in  third  place  in  the  Southern  Con- 
ference. 

It  was  at  Macon.  Ga..  during  the  half  of  the  night  football  game  between  Mercer  and  Oglethorpe  that  the  Davidson  team 
is  credited  with  winning  the  first  night  cross  country  meet  on  record.  Running  against  Mercer  and  Auburn,  the  Wildcats  came 
in   16  points  ahead  of  Auburn  and  45  points  better  than  Mercer. 

The  Wildcats  lost  but  one  meet  during  the  season  and  that  was  to  the  University  of  North  Carolina.  46-17.  their  last  meet 
of  the  season.

The  latest  sport  to  become  established  at  Davidson,  soccer,  had  its  third  season  of  intercollegiate  competition  in  19^7  and 
came  through  with  a  satisfactory  if  not  a  winning  record.  The  Davidson  soccer  team,  paced  by  manager  and  captain  Sam 
Cothran.   dropped  its  first   four  games  before   finally   coming   into  its  own. 

After  losing  two  games  to  High  Point,  one  to  Duke  and  one  to  Clemson.  the  'Cats  came  back  to  score  a  tic  with  Clemson 
and  then  closed  the  season  by  scoring  two  straight  shut  out  wins  over  the  Catawba  Indians.

This  honorary  organization,  which  recognizes  only  those  who  have  reached  the  topmost 
rungs  in  the  ladder  of  scholarship,  was  the  first  of  American  Greek  letter  fraternities.  Organ- 
ized at  the  college  of  William  and  Mary.  Williamsburg,  Virginia,  in  the  year  1  776.  Phi  Beta 
Kappa  began  as  a  social  organization,  but  soon  outlined  a  constitution  with  scholarship  as  its 
requisite.  The  chapter  at  Davidson  was  established  in  1922.  coming  as  a  worthy  successor 
to  the  Mimir  Society,  whose  ideals  and  principal  characteristics  are  embodied  in  Phi  Beta 
Kappa.  Charter  members  of  the  chapter  at  Davidson  included  the  following:  President-Emeritus 
W.  J.  Martin.  Professor  W.  L.  Porter.  Professor  W.  W.  Wood,  and  Dr.  E.  F.  Shewmake. 

Each  year  about  one-tenth  of  the  senior  class  is  chosen  for  membership  into  Phi  Beta  Kappa 
in  two  portions,  one  in  the  fall  semester  and  another  in  the  spring  semester.  However,  actual 
control  of  the  fraternity  is  in  the  hands  of  the  faculty  rtiembers.  Many  accomplishments  and 
improvements  have  been  made  this  year  under  the  following  officers:  President.  Professor  H. 
T.  Lilly:  Vice-President.  Dr.  P.  H.  Gwynn,  Jr.:  and  Secretary -Treasurer,  Dr.  W.  P.  Gum- 
ming. Among  the  new  resolutions  passed  on  by  the  society  this  year  were  the  setting  of  special 
averages  for  membership,  a  new  system  of  evaluation  for  grades,  and  the  omission  of  all 
averages   in    minor   subjects,    such   as   attendance,  music,  and  military  science.

A  trinity  of  purposes  is  the  heritage  of  every  Omicron  Delta  Kappa  circle.  First  they  recog- 
nize men  who  have  attained  a  high  standard  of  cfTiciency  in  collegiate  activities,  and  inspire 
others  to  strive  for  conspicuous  attainments  along  similar  lines.  Secondly,  they  bring  together 
the  most  representative  men  in  all  phases  of  collegiate  life  and  thus  create  an  organization  which 
will  help  to  mould  the  sentiment  of  the  institution  on  questions  of  local  and  intercollegiate 
interest.  Thirdly,  they  bring  together  members  of  the  faculty  and  student  body  of  the  insti- 
tution on  a  basis  of  mutual  interest  and  understanding. 

This  honorary  fraternity  was  founded  at  Washington  and  Lee  University  in  1^)14.  and 
Delta  Circle  was  established  at  Davidson  in  1917.  The  control  of  the  circle  is  always  in  the 
hands  of  the  student  membership.  Twice  during  the  year,  once  in  the  fall  and  once  in  the 
spring.  Delta  Circle  conducts  inspirational  tap  days  in  the  college  chapel,  honoring  by  admit- 
tance to  membership  only  those  in  whom  are  reflected  inherent  and  distinctive  qualities  of 
leadership. 

Omicron  Delta  Kappa  is  the  spark  which  sets  ablaze  many  constructive  movements 
of  the  student  body,  and  its  influence  toward  the  success  of  such  movements  penetrates  the 
entire  campus.  The  organization  is  not  a  combine  of  single  heroes  each  -^fivini.  t,,T  h}<  own 
glory,  but  a  unit  of  strong  leaders  joined  in   bonds  of  cooperation.

KING 

FOR   A  YEAR 


Six  hours  in  which  to  write  three  thousand  words  I  long 
for  two  dictaphones  and  three  stenographers — three  brunettes 
personifying  the  Thome  Smith  tradition  of  Women,  Women. 
and  Women  together  we  might  be  able  to  kick  this  column 
through  on  time.  Anyway.  Ive  got  a  dictionary,  a  carton  ol 
cigarettes  and  unfortunately,  an  immaculate  imagination  a  la 
Davidson  mode,  plus  that  famous  feline  fortitude  developed 
from  numerous  moral  victories.  I  intend  to  be  verbose,  boring. 
and  supremely  trite — Dorsett  needs  this  chivy  chatter  to  fill  up 
space  and  he's  gonna  get  just  that — initio  et  fine.  This  stuff  will 
probably  receive  a  blast  of  birds,  but  maybe  a  coupla  decades 
from  now  when  the  unpleasant  memory  of  the  screwball  writing 
this  has  been  completely  obliterated  by  the  too  real  reality  of  a 
plump  wife  and  three  or  four  bawling  brats,  you  may  be  a  little 
less  critical,  and  most  likely  will  get  some  sort  of  a  kick  out  of 
remembrances  of  a  time  when  you  could  run  a  hundred  yards. 
get  knocked  out  every  Saturday  night,  and  be  continually  stupid 
without  any  regrets  This  is  no  apology,  merely  a  prediction 
if  something  slips  in  that  is  not  my  own.  ignore  the  plagiar- 
ism, and  I'll  take  my  chances  with  the  copywriters.  Passing  re- 
marks before  discoursing. 

Noticeable  decline  of  our  depression  brother's  spirit  of  eat- 
drink-andbemerrv  fortomorrow- wc-die  .  .  .  Cynicism  has 
ceased  being  the  fad — hackneyed  phrases,  "get  'em  off  etc":  bot- 
tled-in-bond  has  displaced  white  litening;  the  American  girl 
who  lifted  her  skirts  far  beyond  modest  limitation  in  '28.  low- 
ered them  for  the  funeral  of  3  2.  is  going  up  again  along  with 
business  and  IDR — authoritative  sources  predict  that  they  will 
climb  a  few  scandalous  inches  further:  Davidson  men  now  bask 
in  the  sun  on  Sunday — unclad,  as  tanned  skin  means  love  from 
fern  ah'  the  shocked  eyes  of  forgotten  virtue:  Esquire  at- 
tempts to  rule  clothes  and  startle  with  new  ideas — mostly  sexy 
— but  fruitlessly:  the  women  still  drunk  from  overindulgence 
in  rouge- — (Two  billion  a  year  spent  by  American  women  on 
cosmetics) — but    the    men    still    like     their    taste — Deluge     of

long  forth  comina  movie  production). 
Ihorne  Smith.  Wodehouse.  and  the  sex

shall  Davidson  go  "bigtime"  and  hire  a  team 
or  keep  winning  moral  victories:  the  incvit 
able  dance  situation,  never  altering,  still  de 
baled  over — and  still  remaining  the  same 
And  so  on — minute  picture  incoherently 
given. 

Thh  is  the  hesi  world  that  we  live  in. 
To  lenil.  and  to  spend,  and  to  give  in: 
Hut  to  borrow,  to  beg,  or  to  get  a  man's

It  is  the  worst  world  that  ever  was  known. 
Out  look  and  custom  change,   hut  human 

nature  remains 
At  last,  after  weaks  of  unceasing  endeavor 
and  much  hardship  and  loss  of  respectability 
on  part  of  the  Kang.  he  finally  cornered 
Hophead  Hill  and  secured  photographic  evi- 
dence of  the  lattcrs  known  disreputable 
character — strong  traces  of  which  can  be  seen 
clearly  in  this  little  candid  shot.  An  cxpres 
sion  of  superhuman  malevolence  with  a  smile 
of  tremendous  bitterness  cracked  around  his 
bored  feeder — the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  canvass  look 
However,  unfortunately.  Kang  of  necessity 
sacrificed  his  own  seraph'C  features  martyr- 
like when  he  descended  into  the  depths,  and 
garnered  this  remakable  likeness  to  vice  per- 
sonified— in  one  Hill  of  low  repute.  He  only 
begs  forgiveness  for  this  irremovable  blemish 
against  himself,  and  requests  that  you  have 
discerning  eyes  onlv  for  the  wretch  who  ap- 
pears with  him — Anguis  in  herbal  (Suc- 
ceeded in  getting  these  the  weekend  the  foot- 
ball team  plaved  VMI — with  Lafferty  in- 
jured and  Black  Dog  Hunter  and  F'rankic 
Harrison  playing  the  leading  roles — Anchored 
at  Natural  Bridge  before  and  after  the  game, 
the  boys  found  diversion  feeding  a  dime  au- 
tomatic  picture  machine.) 

Booby's  Big  Dance — Homecoming  as 
large  as  Armfields  Mid-Winters — and  seemed 
much  better  without  Jan  Garber's  slurpy 
saxophones  driving  you  nuts — never  saw 
such  large  number  of  beautiful  lasses  con- 
gregated together,  and  strange  to  say.  a  great 
number  of  alumni  present  who  paid  their 
respective  ways  and  customary  bumming  re- 
versed— this  trend  attributed  to  publicity 
given  mooching  alumni  by  Carolina  Beta 
frat  who  won  their  Homecoming  decoration 
contest  with  merely  large  dollar  mark  sign 
stuck  up  in  prominent  position  Heard 
there  delightful  girls'  trio  who  could  actually

Worried  all  last  summer  as  to  how  long 
this  screwy  thing  known  as  Appling  would 
last,  and  heaved  sigh  ol  relief  when  it  passed 
out — beg  pardon,  except  for  mild  indul- 
gence by  campus  infants.  The  University  of 
South  Carolina  which  gave  birth  to  the  Big 
Apple,  led  the  way  in  renouncing  its  1  ran

be, tho  after  undergoing  rigid  and  ofttimes 
unreasonable  Davidson  College  rulings,  even 
the  complex  requisites  of  marriage  seem  a 
crip.  This  is  certainly  true  if  the  young  man 
in  question  intends  to  make  his  way  upon

KING  FOR  A  YEAR  (Continued) 


cdgmcnt  of  ihc  same  is  hereby  m.ide  Will  reprint  for 
posterity  a  tjlc  from  the  tumultuous  career  of  each  Iriday 
morning  of  Mid  Winters.  Bounder  brayed  long  and  loud  to  a 
friend  that  he.  Bounder  Bryant,  would  take  his  friends  girl 
away  from  him  The  night  came  and  the  unsuspecting  Sunday 
School  salesman,  his  morning  s  boast  forgotten,  was  driving  his 
friend  and  The  Date  back  to  school  from  the  dance.  Suddenly 
The  Date  (prearranged  with  the  boy  friend)  reaches  over  and 
kisses  Bounder  very  .soundly — poor  Bounder  ran  the  car  off  the 
road  and  nearly  overturned,  and  according  to  witnesses,  under- 
went strange  convulsions  and  color  changes 

Holt's  dirt  contributions  have  been  of  a  continuous  nature. 
and  each  tale  has  been  somewhat  of  a  sequel,  but  no  one  inci- 
dent would  be  complete  in  itself,  so  will  only  give  the  cause 
and  result.  The  Cheerleader  vaidly  adored  an  attractive  Monroe 
lass,  but  difficulties  developed  (usual  feminine  frailty),  and 
Mister  Holt  was  given  the  proverbial  fluff  off — another  version 
has  it  that  he  did  the  fluffing,  but  III  give  the  lady  the  benefit 
of  the  doubt  Then  followed  a  series  of  exciting  amorous  ad- 
ventures that  thrilled  the  hearts  of  all  Davidson  men.  til  finally 
he  came  to  rest  in  the  arms  of  I.ou — however,  a  hard  scrutiny 
of  his  vaguely   blue  eyes  will   still  find  a   peculiarly  harrasscd  ap- 


pearance   there  Trouble   seemingly    an    uncontrolled    adherence 

to   feminine   blandishments. 

Bet  alotta  fellows  disappointed  because  this  stuff  lacks 
customary  critical  poniards — yknow.  the  old  knock  everything 
vin — but  as  the  sheepskin  proximates  itself,  the  things  that 
seemed  so  momentous  at  the  time  dwindle  into  petty  upsets — a 
few  unpleasant  memories  dwarfed  by  a  bunch  of  fine  ones 
Certainly — the  faculty  heads  admit  it — there's  a  great  deal  here 
that  could  stand  improvement  but  most  of  us  feel  that  we're 
still  on  the  right  track,  that  considering  everything,  the  school 
is  still  tops  Maybe  some  future  group  will  seize  our  rather 
pitable  little  groping  suggestions  and  visions,  amplify  and  com- 
plete them;  and  from  the  vantage  of  possessing  the  experience 
of  a  turbulent  past,  eliminate  the  conditions  that  causes  have 
irked  us  innumerable  times — no  more  squabbling  over  the  dance 
question,  the  censors,  the  hous.'partics.  and  the  compulsory 
church  and  maybe  someday,  when  the  correct  incantation 
warbles  its  way  forward.  You  and  myself,  aged,  brittle,  and 
ricky  in  our  respective  rocking  chairs,  can  lean  back  and  say  I 
Told  You  So  which  should  be  a  pleasure,  since  from  the 
male  angle  of  the  marital  mess,  the  occasions  when  he  can  use 
those  words  are  very  rare — a  supposition  that  we  all  get  mar- 
ried.
