mvp ?loucf)ier BENNETTSVILLE, S. C. A nice girl could do wonders with me. Special course A. M. Graduated at S. C. University in 1908. Henry tries to impress upon his friends that precious articles are done up in small packages. He says, Boys, it gives you social standing to walk down the street with a man that has an angelic countenance, graceful carriage and dignified demeanor that I have. We are afraid Henry has heen listening to flattery. iLinbsiap igtler Preebcn BENNETTSVILLE, S. C. Then he will talk— ye gods, how he will talk! First Censor, Third Critic and Vice-President of Calhoun Literary Society; Assistant Business Manager of Journal; Junior Marshal; Class Baseball ' 07=08, Class Football ' 07=08, Manager of Varsity Baseball ' 09; S. A. E. Frat. Kis is a striking comparison to Tennyson ' s Babbling Brook. For men may come and men may go; but Kis talks on forever. He is Mrs. Howard ' s adviser and counsellor, and through her he has met every Flossy in Converse College, but his acquaintances are restricted to the girls of the old North State. In his sleep Kistler calls out, All aboard for Converse! ' - ' — • 17

OSWEGO, S. C. To follow foolish precedents, iind to wink with both eyes, are easier than to think. Preston Literary Society. A specimen of wonderful intei ' est, on account of his innocence and simplicity. John has a very distinguished appearance — senator, judge, or something of the kind. Has lately developed a great liking for female .society, and in this inspiring presence, has even shown signs of a dormant intelligence. Has gieat hopes of go- ing hack to his native styx, and showing the natives what civil- ization can do for a man. His childlike imitation is a wondei ' in its perfectness. Jfreb Eugene Pcarben SPARTANBURG, S. C. A youth of lalior with an age of ease. Charter Member, President, Vice-President, First and Third Critic, Corresponding Secretary, and Monthly Orator of Carlisle Literary Society; Marshal, Freshman Exhibition, Speaker on Sophomore Exhibition; Member of Inter=Society Committee, ' 09; Alumni Editor of Journal, ' 09. Bearden is city born and bred, Spartanburg city born and bred at that. With unruffled front, he pursues the even tenor of his way. Nothing ever excites Bearden. He is always calm in the face of danger. He can face a roaring fire in the heart of the busi- ness district of his native city, or meet a hundred Converse girls, without a tremor. Bearden will probably become a civil engineer. He has taken Math. persistently and consistently through his entire course— whether, because he has a special liking for this branch of science, or because Professor Clinkscales has a special lik- ing for him, we do not pretend to say. Every man has his opinion, though! 16

Hfamcfii Cbegtcr progben BATESBl KG, S. C. Charge, Chester, charge! On, Stanley, on! President, First Critic and Second Censor of Carlisle Society; Assistant Literary Editor of Bohtrsian, ' 08; Charter Member Carlisle Society. Chester ' s face was not unfamiliar to us, for vc had often .seen his face in the advertisements of Mellin ' s Food. Chester says when he was a liaby that he took all the prizes at the Eaby Shows; but wc heard afterwards that his nurse made him put them back. lie says no matter what he is now, he knows he must have been a cute baby; but we are the judges of that statement. Some day, he will lie found almost dead under .somebodv ' s dinner table. Ileablep Monis Cox DOTHAN, N. C. He draweth the thread of his verbosit.v finer than the staple of his argument. Entered in 1905. Charter Member of the Carlisle Literary Society; Member of the Committee to make a Constitution; Sophomore Orator; Treasurer of the Society, Second Critic, Vice-President. Well, well, well, hei ' e we have him, just like he was when he came! ( 0 The same yesterdaj to-day and forevei — with the exception that now and then a new girl shines in upon his benighted existence. He is a logician of exceptional ability, spending much of his time in trying to reach the logical (0 conclusion that it is raining out- side, when the sun shines from a cloudless sky. In other words, he is a Sophist. IS 4
