'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-,

' 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.

At least one member-of the class ot 1915, from the very beginning, realized that all that glitters is not gold - chevrons included. Josh has been an ardent believer in the Mclean sleeve, and has never been tempted by the bright red hue of the otticer's sash or his glittering sabre. - He has been a loyal member of the Polytechnic Literary Society during his entire career, and many a time he has electrified his audience with his elo- quence. At the end of his Junior year, Cooley decided to talce the German elective in languages. But, as tate would have it, the Great War in Europe tnrolce out, threatening the prestige of the German language. At the same time the opening ot the Panama Canal caused greater in- terest to he taken in the Spanish-Ameri- can republics to our South. So, after a calm and delil3erate.consideration of the increasing importance of theaSpanish language and the waning prestige df the German, the previous decision was re- versed. Consequently his name appears on the roll of the Spanish section. Endowed with all the qualities which constitute a good friend, honest, direct, and straightforward in all his actions, Josh has bound himself to his classmates by the strongest bonds of fellowship.
