arlem iLonggtreet Creecf) BAEJ WELL, S. C. Blessings on him who invented sleep, the mantle that covers all hnnian thought. Preston Literary Society. Creech is from Barnwell County. Hurrah for Creech! We do not know anything about Creech!! Creech is a mystery!!! Creech is the nth power of the unknown, the unfathomable!!!! All hail to Creech!!!!! He eats, sleeps, walks and talks like an ordinary mortal, but on certain occasions the nurse seizes upon him, and he spins out poetry — my, how the rhymes do hum! Creech expects to take the place of Frank T. Stanton on the staff of The Atlanta Constitu- tion. i:!)oma£i iLipgtomfa Coleman NEWMARKET, S. C. Life ' s a jest, and all things show it, I thought so once, and now I know it. Member of Calhoun Literary Society; Third Critic, Recording Secretary, Second Censor; Member of Class Baseball Team. T. L., as the Converse lassies affectionately call him, is a typical looking college sport. He wears his hat at an angle of 30°, the sin of which cannot be determined numerically, but the sign, gesthet- ically ( ?) speaking, is that he is always jolly and ready for a lark. He has not determined his life work, as yet, but his friends say they suspect him of secretly preparing himself to sell Dr. Scott ' s Little Early Riser pills — at 1.5 cents per box. Luck to him, and hurrah! for Dr. Scott. 19

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

Jf. flagon Crum ORANGEBURG, S. C. His very foot has musii- in it. President, Vice-President and First Censor of Calhoun Literary Society; Vice-President of Senior Class, ' 09; Secretary of Y. M. C. A.. Y. M. C. A. Editor of Journal; Member of Glee Club, Member of Executive Committee of Glee Club, ' 08; Winner of Science Medal, ' 08; Winner of Calhoun Literary Society Essay Medal, ' 08; Chi Phi Frat. Crum is the Cassius of the Class of ' 09. He has a lean and hun- gry look,.... he reads many tiptops, and looks quite through the deeds of men. He is a great behever in what he calls the axiom. Beauty itself doth of itself persuade the eyes of men without an orator. Being very susceptible, he is constantly being persuaded himself. His first serious business will be the nefarious work of in- ducing so me poor, unfortunate girl to become Mrs. Crum. Crum says that without a Mrs. Crum there can come no little crum of comfort into his life. Walttv Clpbc Currp OWINGS, S. C. ' ■Sweet liird that shun ' st the noise of folly.

Delegate to Asheville, 1904=05; Senior Speaker, 1908=09. Curry comes from Graycourt, but Graycourt is in no way to blame for this. Curry looks well, thinks well, speaks well, sings well, makes love well, and dresses exti ' emely, extraordinarily well, but — Would to God thou and I knew where a commodity of good names were to be bought. The end and sole motive of Curry ' s life is clothes. He has got Thomas Carlyle ' s British Dandy skint a block, when it comes to fashionable gent ' s wearing apparel. Any ui)-t()-date tailor in need of a model will do well to see Curry. 20
