History of ' 03 As our minds now wander back to our early College days, we recall to memory many faces of bright and prom- ising youths who were members of the band that began in ' 98 the work of preparing themselves for the hardship of life. At the beginning of our Freshman year there were one hundred and forty names enrolled for the struggle, which was to last four years. It was not a struggle in which man ' s physical ability was to be taxed and tested, but one in which their minds were to be trained, broadened and de- veloped. Of that number only one hundred and twelve reached Soph., at which time we were joined by twelve others who seemed anxious for a place in the struggle. Ninety of our classmates returned to College to under- take the work of Junior, and this time we were joined by five unfortunates from the Class of ' 02; many of this number fell beneath the burdens of Analytics, Calculus and various other branches of study, which they were called upon to bear. At last we became the Seniors of 03, sixty-two in number, and were joined by another classman, who had been compelled to leave College on account of his health ; of these sixty-three, one was compelled to leave College on account of ill health, another left to accept a position in a Southern city, and God saw fit to take unto himself an- other of the class, leaving sixty to reap the harvest of their diligence. Five of those who were once members of our class will never answer roll call on earth again — the sweet notes of taps have been sounded for their last eternal sleep — P. N. Shannon, P. T.

those lads have baffled the storms of study and weathered the troubled seas of examinations. Our class has furnished some of the best football and baseball players that were on our College teams ; among them are John W. McMakin, M. N. Hunter, J. A. For- sythe, G. R. Barksdale, Jno. D. Hughey, C. Y. Sitton. W. B. Chisolm and D. Hope Sadler. Ye can also boast of several worthy writers and speak- ers, and of a great number of really energetic youths ; among the most energetic and successful workers are : The manager of the football and baseball teams ' o2- ' o3, who won for himself the distinction for being the best that Clemson has ever had : the efficient manager of The Oconeean; the manager of the Track team; the manager of the Dramatic Club, and the manager of The Clemson College Chronicle, who has won for himself distinction by his earnest and efficient work. Aside from the class of nineteen hundred and three ' s heroic deeds and sacrifices on the athletic field and in the class-room, it served its College most by the imperishable example of its noble work. 20
