On the other hand, though, me were able to use man\) of the engravings rvhich Were intended for that volume and this facilitated matters along that line.

Beatty QUIP^^S The Spirit of Old Davidson On summer nights soft breezes blow The tall EWeet grasses to and fro O'er the green, and thru the halls Of time-worn Chamber's ivied walls Low phantom voices come to me With echoed laughter, melody Of those who from these doors have But they have passed and I alone Now stand between the pillared row Of Chamber's lofty portico. Can't you hear them talking, laughing, The friends long gone and friends just passing? Beneath the pillared portico. Behold them going to and fro. And in the moonlight's silver strands We see them, hear them, grasp their hands. For these are they who have made us. They formed the spirit of the campus; Tho* some are dead and some are far. Yet have they made us what we are. Old Chambers sleeps without a sound. He sleeps the summer time around. And in the mellow moonlight beams; The gho3ts we see arc but his dreams.

'20's Mascol Page jixicen K Elwood Rantz Boney Kinston, N. C. A.B. II.; K i:; Ex-Phi. "A l^noTDn b^ the compan^f he lêeps." "Booney" has only two failings that we know of.Df. He will talk about Kinston and he will hang out with "Willie," "Pot," "Pic;," and "Ikey." His four years in a large city like Davidson have somewhat overcome the former failing, and he has proved himself a good man by getting along O. K. in spite of the latter shortcoming. His quiet, unassuming friendliness and ready good nature have won him many friends. Aside from being a "shark" on "Bug" and getting over 85 on most everything else, he holds down the important post of "lance private" in the R. O. T. C. St Sup. Phi fty; Vi iil.-nt Edward Nelson Booker Clayton, N. C. A.B. II Phi, An ani Joclor aide-Je- camp of death: Booker's letters from home are postmarked Clayton, N. C, but it is rumored that the R. F. D. man carries them many miles before this stamp is placed upon them. He left his native city to begin his college career at Davidson, and after four years of steady plodding he has gained the far-famed position of Fresh Monitor. In the Phi Society he holds a place of no mean regard and has become a scintillating star in its ranks after years of steady practice and labor. He hopes some day to become a doctor, but whether M.D. or V.D. we will refrain from stating. R.p. •lull.

Sammy lives at Davidson. Samuel will die at Davidson. "Brady" for two long years had plodded his way across our campus day after day, but Sammy returned each night to his little trunnel bed at the Brady domicile on South Main Street until the S. A. T. C. changed his custom at the expense of much homesickness on the part of Private Brady. Sam has a "D" and a star and his football record is well established. We hope lo hear from Sam some day as successor to Mayor Sloan. Scrub Football 'ItJ. -17; Varsity Football 'IS, '19; Wearer of the D." Harry Bernal Brown Little Rock, Ark. B.S.; 3 A E; 2 T; Polity Club. "The lesser things he flings afar, his eyes upon some higher star." Though he hails from a far-away land. Buck has in every respect become one of U5. His college life has been, for himself, a pre-eminent success; for us it has been a source of worth-while pleasure to have come in contact with such a man. He has won for himself an enviable place here at Davidson, enjoying the full confidence of every man who knows him. Recognized as a man of high aspirations, he has been given a place of well deserved prominence. This, augmented by a friendly, unselfish interest in others, has made him one to whom the Class of 1920 may point with pride. As a manager, he is second only to Matthews.

Can any oood thing come out of the eastern pari of the Slate? Yes, the land of dry sands and water- melons has contributed the above specimen to the Davidson museum. Lawrence can keep a level head except in the presence of "lire," can make a speech or the honor roll with equal ease, and can even get to chapel on time (sometimes). He used to think he would be a country preacher, but since being a marshal he wants a city flock so he can wear a "Jim swinger" every day. But whether his coat tails be long or short, L. G. has the stuff which makes for success. Carl Homer Cathey Davidson, N. C. B.s. "// Junces applaujej, he paid them in l(ind." "George" happens to be one of the two men of our class who has the distinction of having spent "Twenty Years at Davidson." However, we do not mean by this that it is the greatest distinction that he has. r"__i ;_ _ i-Li- 1 I . _r £^11 1 -^ .L . /"i__ r^K.L ^ _ 1 _ _i _ _ __ I Carl is a very sociable and congenial sort of fellow and on the Gl Club trips he scores a bii^ hit with his humor and "nigger" impersonation.
