THOMAS OLIVER CANNON Clifton, S. C. in uprussicu Civil Engineering Tlulnlz you, a little din can daunt mine ears? Have I not in my time heard lions roar? Have I not heard great ordnance fn the feld, And 71eaven's artillery thunder in the skies? Private uBandN, Corporal uBandH, First Sergeant Band , Private Banning Assistant Baseball Manager QQD., Base- ball Manager uprussicl' is a weird combination of trivolity and seriousness. When Bully rounds him up, the latter mood gener- ally takes full possession of his soul: but just let Guy come around and it takes four men to drown his mirth. For three years Artillery didnqt have a care save for the time he was first sergeant of that noble organization, the band. Then there came a change. He became a very business-like person, arranging schedules for the baseball team: and-marvel ye who read it- writing innumerable dainty missives to the ladies. But no one could reasonably expect such remarkable linguistic talent to remain forever dormant. It just had to break out, and it certainly went along the line of least resistance. However, this man would convince a brass monkey that it was First Lord of the Admiralty -so what matters it which line he pur- sues? Good-bye, nprussicu. After you have spent about four years in the Sen- ate you may be able to convince some ingenuous Representative that it will re- quire a brilliant man to H11 your place in the government.

'sTatersM first won fame at The Cita- del in his rat year by accomplishing an almost impossible feat: he succeeded in winning a wager that he could eat a whole can of salmon with neither a bite of bread nor a drink of water. From this time on, his fame has spread until now it has reached the uThames,M Where he spends many a pleasant evening. But Boyd's fame has many branches. He has the admirable trait of being' an excellent Dutch scholar. His pro- ficiency in this language became so great fhe being able to sit beside the pleas- ant upoolen asking' for Grace from fn, with the world-renowned words of ulch liebe dichnj, that he tool: Spanish in his Senior year for the sake of va- riety, English, French and German not being sufficient to meet his demands. Chick is one of the most original jolcers known. I think that is why he has decided to become a star dancer in his last year. ' It is a pity Boyd waited so late to begin his wonderful career, but having' shown such very marked tendencies toward so doing, we feel confident that he will rise to still greater heights, if such a thing be possible.

All during our uratn year, we felt as if something was lacking to the complete- ness of our class, and it was not till late in September of the second year that this missing link was supplied by Al's ar- rival. Ever since then we have been the best class in school-you can ask any member about it. A1 has been starring in different ways ever since he came here, from his ap- pointment as a corporal the second half of his first year as a mfhird Class rat, to his tirst fatal football practice. fThe alliteration is entirely unintentionalj It was in this last that he created the great- est sensation, for he had his leg brolcen the First afternoon out, and he has been hobbling around ever since. But it is in the busy whirl of society that Al shines usho nuff. Somehow, he managed to slip through the gates of Ashley Hall when he was an nupstartf' and he has been a frequent visitor there ever since until the stellar attraction moved to Birmingham. He has not stop- ped with this effort, however, for many fair Charleston Janes have fallen for his charms. When you hear him say, Lemme tell you sumpinn you can put it down that he is out for the goods, and then, ladies, be-warel
