' Our knowledge of geography was vast- ly increased when Pope told us he hailed from Eastover-wherever that is-but if his college career is any forecast, we are inclined to believe his native city is des- tined to a place in the sun. Pope got on the job from the day of his matriculation, and the degree of success he has met is well indicated by his position in the uofficial Register. As a star he has never illumined the social tirmament, owing to his avowed bachelorhood, but his meteoric military career is worthy of note. And as for so- ciety-this is his hobby, and through the ucouncil of war he has exercised a guiding hand in the direction ot Poly- technic affairs. Athletic honors have never attracted Pope, but he has shown his spirit from the side lines when the uBull dogsn were in action. When he began rooming with Cooley and Tarrant last year., forebodings were rite, but our conjectures were erroneous,-that is, if Pope's version is true. If perseverance and consistent tenacity are the price of victory., we predict for him deserved success-verily, in ample measure.

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

'hwatch Belton Grow. The tirst thing that attracts a stranger's attention upon entering Belton is the above sign in huge letters on a large concrete standpipe on the 'Lin-skirts of the ncityf' Clement, not unlike the standpipe, has ever advertised and boosted his town, and from his line of uBuncombe one would inter that Belton is the coming metropolis of the South. For three years George shouldered a muslcetq but in his Senior year, coming to the conclusion that his talents were being wasted by his not being in the band, he now may be seen on all dress parades beating the bass drum, while a lovely smile adorns the face of a certain fair spectator. George early became a devoted mem- ber ot the Bachelors' Club and having been in close touch with him for four years we feel confident in predicting that Cupid must needs acquire the power ot a usamsfonf' in order to conquer him. Clement elected to take Biology in his Senior year, but as yet is undecided as to his future life worlc. Practical and independent in his views, frank and open- hearted in his deeds, pei-severing and de- termined in his nature, George is bound to succeed in whatever he undertakes. -A-,
