Getting the Picture, tine BIGGER Picture

Rather than overwhelm you with many different pictures, Quips
and Cranks of 2008-2009 employs you to relish the beauty of
each individual shot. The format of this book consists of a
smaller than usual amount of pictures, but what pictures we do
have are enlarged for better appreciation. In this manner, the
yearbook staff hopes that the viewer sill not simply skim over
the pages and photos, but will rather take the time to soak in
what each picture captures. After all, the bigger picture behind
an individual photo is the story it captures and the memories it
shares. ^

Homecoming 2008 saw over 700 alumni return to
campus, a record number. Students and alums
alike watched the football team face Jackson
University. In a dramatic comeback, the Wildcats
recovered from a 21 point deficit to win by 3 in the
final minute. At halftime, the homecoming court
was announced, and students and alumni
celebrated the victory well into the night.

The graduating class of 2009
received their diplomas in John
Belk Arena due to the dismal
weather that prevented the event
from taking place on Chambers
lawn, the original location. Many
said the weather reflected the
sorrowful sentiments as
graduates said goodbye to their
friends and beloved college.
Despite the goodbyes there were
many smiles as the graduates of
2009 received their diplomas in
recognition of their academic
accomplishments at Davidson
College. The class recognized
Professors Ann Marie Costa of
the theatre department and Karl
Plank, Cannon professor of
Religion as this year's recipients
of the Hunter-Hamilton Love of
Teaching Award. This honor
recognizes professors for their
outstanding teaching and ability
to encourage and challenge
students. Recipients are also
awarded with a personal $7,500
and an additional $7,500 to
support a cause of their choice.

Among the students, graduates
Kennesia S. Martin of Ringgold,
Georgia, a political science major
with a minor in French,

and Carolyn S. Klaasen, a religion
major from Malabar, Florida, received
the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award
for their significant contributions to
their communities.

Graduate academic awards
recognized Ben Van Dyke from
Simpsonville, South Carolina, who
graduated magna cum laude with

honors in psychology and
Sarah Rhodes of Concord,
N.C., who graduated magna
cum laude with High Honors in
Neuroscience, as recipients of
first and second honors
respectively in their class.

As is tradition President Tom
Ross (class of 72) was the only
speaker at graduation. The
president, recently recognized
by the students with the "Silver
Fox" Award, encouraged the
graduates to become leaders in
their lives after college. "Don't
just live, lead" was his
message.

Class President Richmond
Blake was the only graduate to
speak at the ceremony. Blake
congratulated his class on the
largest participation in the
senior gift to the annual fund, a
98 percent participation that
equaled a gift of $9,767. Tom
Ross plans to contribute
$13,000 to this gift.

26 percent of the seniors
graduated cum laude (73) and
magna cum laude (37).

Alpha Kappa Alpha is the first Greek-lettered sorority
established and incorporated by African American
college women. The sorority was founded on January 5
1908 at Howard University in Washington, D.C. The
sorority serves through a membership of more than
200,000 women in over 975 chapters in the United
States and several other countries. As the Sorority gre.
it kept in balance two important themes: the important
of the individual and the strength of an organization of
women of ability and courage. The Sigma Psi chapter!
Alpha Kappa Alpha was established at Davidson Coike
on November 23, 2008 and it is the first sorority at
Davidson.

Alpha Phi Alpha

I Eight founding members established the Davidson College chapter of Alpha
! Phi Alpha in December of 2003. Founded in 1906 at Cornell University as the

I first intercollegiate Greek letter fraternity established for African Americans,
Alpha now includes more than 900 chapters nationwide. It maintains both
; college-based and alumni affairs and emphasizes lifelong commitment. Once

I student members graduate from college, they may apply to join alumni
chapters. Alumni chapters conduct a high level of service activity and closely

'support the college chapters.

. Alpha demands that members maintain a 2.5 GPA, a tougher requirement

I than the 2.0 standard of some of Davidson's nationally affiliated fraternities
and five eating houses. Alpha requires members to be registered voters and to
participate in its national voter registration and monitoring community service
t programs.

Kappa Alpha Psi is comprised of Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters on major
campuses and in cities throughout the country. Kappa Alpha Psi was founded on the
campus of Indiana University on January 5, 1911. The Fraternity's fundamental
purpose is achievement. The ten founders sought a formula that would immediately
raise the sights of collegians and stimulate them to accomplishments higher than they
might have imagined. Fashioning achievement as its purpose, Kappa Alpha Psi began
uniting college men of culture, patriotism and honor in a bond of fraternity. The Pi Mu
chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi was chartered on September 28th, 2008. Prior to this year
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity at Davidson College operated out of the Zeta Delta Chapter
of Kappa Alpha Psi at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

The Environmental Action Coalition exists to help the Davidson community appreciate our

planet's natural environments, their value to humanity, and their vulnerability to human

impact. The EAC serves to 1) educate the Davidson community about current

environmental issues; 2) advocate for environmental health and justice, and enable others to

do likewise; and 3) improve the sustainability of the Davidson community itself.

Environmental issues that the EAC addresses include but are not limited to the following:

food, water, conservation, energy, waste, policy, and environmental justice. The EAC brings

together interested and/or curious students from different backgrounds and empowers them

to fulfill EAC's role within the community, reaching out also to infrequent participants in

EAC events. The EAC, when possible, assists other student organizations interested in

planning their own environmentally themed programming.

This year, the Men's Ultimate team had yet another successful season. The

addition of freshman Evan Carter ('12) gave our team a huge boost after

losing key players to last year's graduating class. Our fall tournament

record was highlighted by a second place finish at the Dave Baldwin Memorial

in Knoxville, TN. We also notched victories against state rivals NC State

and UNC-Wilmington at the Classic City Classic in Atlanta, GA.

This spring, we traveled over 2,500 miles to play in various tournaments

across the country. An early season tournament in Orlando, FL gave us

experience against regional foes Florida and Central Florida. After our

first-ever team Spring Break trip to Fort Lauderdale, we competed at the

Tally Classic in Tallahassee, FL. We were able to bring a

strong team of 23 on a flying trip to Austin, TX where we competed at

Centex, one of the nation's premiere tournaments. We finished with a 5-2

record and built up momentum going into the college championship series.

Overcash got into a bit of a jam
in the sixth, giving up back-to-
back, one-out singles to Matt
Williams and Nate Freeman. But
he sat the next batter down on
strikes and got a pop out to end
the Lnning and strand a pair.

Duke added a run in the seventh, as Jake
Lemmerman got a base-hit off Mike Frongello, who
entered in relief of Overcash to start the inning.
Frongello got a groundout from the next batter, but
Will Piwinica-Worms offering got past James
Cerbie and into right field to send in a run.
The Blue Devils threatened in the eighth, but a
diving one-out catch by Kayne held the runner at
third before Russell entered to get the final pop out.
Kayne recorded the third Wildcat hit of the night, a
base hit into right, and took second on a wild pitch
to start the Wildcat scoring in the eighth. Drew
Gadaires single bumped him to third, and Weiss
walked to load the bases. FitzPatrick's fielder's
choice to the short stop sent in Kayne, and a
throwing error at second allowed Gadaire to score
the tying run.

Russell got back-to-back strikeouts to start the
ninth, before allowing a single to Ryan McCurdy.
But Brett Shore speared a pop up from Gabriel
Saade to strand a runner, and the Wildcats went
down without a fight in the bottom of the inning.
Butler started the 10th for Duke and got first-pitch
groundouts from Kayne and Gadaire before giving
up a base hit to Weiss. Sigelbaum entered to pinch
run and scored the winning run from first as
FitzPatrick doubled down the left field line.

I never really know what exactly to put in the Editor's Note, so let me

start by saying as nriy second year as the Quips and Cranks editor I

have grown as much, if not more, as the yearbook. ..meaning I still

don't know what cranks are. I mean, honestly, why did the former

editors have to pull a typical Davidson instead of just calling it Jokes

and Laughs? Either way, the word quip certainly has helped my

scrabble game.

This has been a year of much kidding and many good times. Not only
did we witness the election of the first black president but our claim-to-
fame basketball star, Stephen Curry, left our jibing and comical
yearbook pages by signing with Golden State. Good luck to him, and
may we fellow Davidsonians (little shout out to the newspaper friends)
throw many parties as we watch him on the big screen instead of the
comfort of our own gym. Our Youtube videos will never be the same

without him. With more puns and giggles we saw our very own
Marshall Scholar graduate and the reign President Tommy Tommy
Ross continue flawlessly in his second year.

So now, as my vocabulary is waning, I must finish my note with a wish.
A wish that those who graduated and those yet to graduate, all bonded
together through our wildcat pride, have many more Quips and Cranks

in their lives.

Lindsey Graf
2008-2009 Yearbook Editor

And on a more personal note, I'd like to give a special thanks to my
sister, who brings many wisecracks and chuckles to my life.
