Camp MeClellan, Ala Thomas Lafayette Walker Bailey, Jr. came to us from the tropolis of Clinton. Tilly a he is better known, was quite a handsome ral and since that time has become a campus shiek. He has more girls in love with him than Rudolph val- entino(?). He is a disciple of Big Ben. During his last year at school, Tilly roomed with Bill Lippincotl and this has given him an even greater reputation with the ladies. The ties that these boys wear are more than enough to win am girl ' s heart. Although Tilly has nol led his class as a student, his record is one of which he siiouid be proud. After all ' s • ■lass record is only a small part of one ' s success. He has always been active in the various branches of student activities. He seems to realize that a college course means a course in the art of living with one ' s fel- low-men. Tilly is a natural-horn gentle- man and if his success in after life comes to him as easily as it has come here, there can be no obstacle too great for him to overcome.

R T C, Camp MeClellan, Ala. If you were to meet this lad on the street you would probably think him a preacher, but he is not. His deceptive looks have earned for him the title of Rev. , of which he is worthy in every respect. Rev. , came to Clemson in the fall of ' -- and has been a consistent worker in the Civil Engineering Department since. Clemson should be proud of such a student a- this lad because he is a conscientious worker and a friend to everybody. Barr is not only a conscientious worker but also a skilled writer to the flavored ones at well, guess. We sincere ly hope he will be as successful in win- ning friends among the ladies after he leaves Clemson as he has been among the boys at school. .May the best in life be yours, old pal.

' - :.; A.I.E.E.; Member Block C Club; Member Greenwood Count] club President ; Track Team. ' 24; R.O.T.C, C: i McClellan, Ala. Julian first gained renown af Clemson by his athletic ability, but this was only an introductory paragraph to his volume of life here. A titan of strength, he lias learned t itrol such force and convert it into useful, efficient work. He has the admirable quality to stick to a thing and carry it through, regardless of the circum- stances or facts. His cheery niein is an inspiration to his comrades. Work nevei daunts him. and his willingness to perform his duty to assist his friends in any un- selfish endeavor makes him popular with his smaller and less gifted friends. He is the recipient of much rightly placed con- fidence, and his square dealings with his fellow students have placed him in exact- ing positions of responsibility. Twenty-Seven
