Luke is from Piedmont, S. C. All who have traveled widely are (|uite familiar with that thriving little city hid away in a cuj -like valley of upper South Carolina. Luther is his real name, but the girls all call him Luke. Since entering college, he has given much time to poetry. He never writes it, but just lets it pass over his .soul in inarticulate language. Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter. Luke is also planning a trip to Seattle. He expects to go with Mr. Jew Harden and ofler to the public for sale that very useful commodity, soap. This distinguished salesman informs us that each box will contain six cakes of the best soap made, one bottle of perfume, one set of teaspoons and a toothbrush, all for 50 cents.

Orangeburg County claims Felkel, not because she wants him, but because she is anxious to put the best face on a bad fact. Music is a passion with Felkel. He utilizes all his spare time in studying it, and has made sufficient progress in the art to distinguish with a tolerable degree of accuracy the difference between Yankee Doodle and Jesus, Lover of My Soul, provided the latter is played on a pipe organ in a church and the former by a brass band in a circus parade. Felkel has not decided definitely whether he will be a truck farmer or the conductor of a crack orchestra. 24

Now, here he is— Mr. President— of ' 09! He is always at his place— in the classroom, in the athletic field, in the parlor (very orna- mental), in the automobile (with his best girl), and in the church (!). He is great in electrical lines; has gi-eat hopes of establishing com- munication with Mars, by means of the electric spark sent from a special apphance of his own invention. He is modest, yet aggressive ; bashful, yet a good speaker; hopes to be successful in losing the medal to some other college in the Oratorical Contest, where he represents us.

First he calls himself a student at WofFord; second, he looks out for a goat on East Main street. Once Egypt was very ill and thought his time had come. Kis friends heard him say, Get busy Ananias, your rival is coming. 23

Your pardon, please, did you say Sister Finch ( We see now, upon closer inspection, that this is our Sister — she of the pre- cise manner, the gentle voice, and mild eye. We would not have her changed in the least, if some good fairy were to make us the offer gratis. For what would the campus be without the dulcat ( ?) notes of her sweet (?) viohn! How could we live without her presence Away, Fairy, and leave our Sister to us in peace — just as she is! aailep Carlisle olger CENTRAL, S. C.

Four years ago Doc landed on the campus and registered as one of the sons from the progressive little city of Central, S. C. Since his entrance in college, he has been a great lover of English poetry, especially that of Kipling. Like Orlando, he writes poetry of his fair Rosalind and sticks it about on trees. It is said that In the spring a young man ' s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, but this young man, from all we know, lives in a dream of fair women, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. He is especially interested in houses of the old Colonial style, and what could be more romantic to such an artist than to spoon on a bit of clover in the moonlight somewhere! Ask Doc. 25
