George Albright Beach YORK, S, C. Ha, Majesty! how high Ihy gloiy towers.

C. I. 0. A.; Manager ' Varsity Baseball Team, ' og- ' io. Hop is generally recognized as the Falstaff of the class, in size; not for keenness of wit. George is one of the pillars of the class, or perhaps he might be more appropriately dubbed a sleeper. He has never been known to move at a greater rate than two miles per hour, and that was once when he was badly scared. His portliness accounts for his tar- diness of action. If he prospers, he will some day be the fat man in a circus or side show. Daniel Lander Betts SPARTANBURG, S. C. High and passionate thoughts to their own music chanted. Monthly Orator; Treasurer; Second Censor; President Carlisle Literary Society ; Class Poet, ' o9- ' i o ; Exchange Editor of Journal ; Contributor to Journal. It is not known for certain, from whence Betts comes. He has always been rather a question of doubt among the students. The larger part of the boys have about come to the conclusion, that he is of the genus homo. Betts will be a missionary. Only a mouthful of Cannibal meat; And the quality of that not hard to beat; From his head to his heels, they can masticate, But his head nothing can penetrate. 21

Charles Otis All BARNWELL, S. C. Away with him, away with him; he speaks Latin. Second Censor; Recording Secretary; Second Critic; Vice-President; President Preston Literary Society; Marshal on Freshman Exhibition. Judge is just a little more than we can figure out. Some say he ' s — but never mind what some say, others say just the opposite. Among many uncertainties, however, one thing is certain: Judge is particularly fond of Latin. Wait a minute, boys, read that first sentence over again. Doesn ' t that sound familiar? Judge always wants the fiirst sentence read about six times; he comes first, and usually gets called on first. He means well, though, and we predict that some day he will become a great Latin scholar. William Boyd Baker MARION, S. C. He tired the sun with talking and sent him down the sky. Corresponding Secretary; Recording Secretary; Vice-President; President Carlisle Literary Society; Freshman Marshal; Class Football Team, ' oS- ' og, ' og- ' io; Junior-Soph. Football Team, ' oS- ' oq ; Sen- ior-Fresh. Football Team, ' og - ' io; Class Baseball Team, ' 09 ' 10; Varsity Basket Ball Team, ' oS- ' og; Contributor to Journal. Baker is from the swamps of M-arion. His father is a preacher; but there ' s no need for telling that, if you happen to know him. If in need of any first class, unadulterated slang of the best ' ariety, you will do well to see him. He ' s the biggest wholesale dealer along this line in the class; satisfaction guaranteed. Baker is thinking of entering the ministry if nothing happens— there ' ll probably something hapi)en, though. 20

Chesnee Vernon Bomar SPARTANBURG. S. C. ■ ' Oh, let me close my eyes and dream sweet, fanciful, vagrant dreams of love. Member Calhoun Literary Society; Member, ' o8- ' o9, Chairman, ' og- ' io, Inter-Society Com- mittee ; Freshman and Sophomore Marshals; Pianist on Glee Club, ' oS- ' og, ' og- ' io. Yes, this is Mr. Bomar, the pianist of the Glee Club. Sinse the Glee Club made its annual tour, the college authorities have gotten many letters from the fair sex all over the State, wanting infor- mation concerning the aforesaid. It seems that he has made. quite a hit along this line. But Bomar always was a ladies ' man, takes music at Converse, too. Whether this is from a desire to really know music or just for an excuse to get in touch with a pair of dreamy eyes is too hard for us, but we are inclined toward the latter solution of the question Irvin Nelson Bowman ORANGEBURG, S. C. And I would that I could utter The thoughts that arise in me. Recording Secretary; First Censor; First Critic; Vice-President; President Calhoun Literary Society. Lad is a historical student of fame; always takes historv — or whate -er else no one ' s watching. His chief delight is in historical research, etc. When Lad came, his intentions were along the ministerial line, but he has since decided it was a false alarm and will attack law with great vigor and determination. Look out for the bench (or the gallows) . 22
