Stafford Bland Connor ORAXGEBURG, S. C. As gentle and as jocund as to jest. MonthlyOrator; Treasurer Preston Literary Society ; Glee Club, ' ' oq- ' io; Contributor to Journal. Bland is the champion love-maker of the class; it is said that he can do this stunt in several dif- erent languages; prefers French. He is also the impersonator of the Glee Club; does the nigger preacher act to a high degree of perfection from an artistic standpoint. We predict, that some day he will make a first class nigger preacher. George Kennedy Craig AXSOX, N. C. His heart on high honour was set And him contained in such manner, That all him loved that were him near. Second Censor; Corresponding Secretary; Re- cording Secretary ; President Preston Literary Society ; Corresponding Secretary South Carolina Inter- Collegiate Oratorical Association; Freshman Mar- shal; Vice-President and President of Class, ' o7- ' o8; Bohemian Staff, ' oS- ' og; Gymnasium Team, ' o7- ' o8; Junior-Soph. Football Team, ' oS- ' og; Senior-Fresh. Football Team, ' og- ' io; Class Foot- ball Team, ' oy- ' oS, ' oS- ' og, ' og- ' io; Manager Class Football Team, ' og- ' io. George is a tar-heeler; the poor fellow seems to hate it, but can ' t help it. Craig is the telephone artist; can talk pretty well to the fair sex face to face, but look out phone. He once had the pleasure of talking to one of the students over the phone, thinking it was a certain Spartanburg young lady. He found it out afterwards, repented, but too late. Craig will take up his abode in Spartanburg, it seems, as there is about one hundred and twenty pounds of feminine attraction for him here. 24

Z. F. Cannon SPARTANBURG, S. C. Man is made of solid stuff. Entered, ' 05; Dropped out, ' oy- ' oS; Class Base- ball Team, ' 09- ' 10. Zi was discovered near Clifton. When first seen, he had his face hid and his discoverers were decei ' ed into believing they had really made a find. Anyway, he was roped and after two weeks honest endeavor, was induced to wear a linen collar; shoes and other apparel soon followed. After four years fruitless effort by classmates and instructors, he will return to the sticks from whence he came, or was brought, to be more correct. John Luther Cely ANDERSOX, S. C. Man is the hunter: woman is his game. Entered, ' 05; Dropped out, ' 08; Second Critic; First Censor Preston Literary Society; Class Basket Ball Team, ' o5- ' o6, ' og- ' io; Class Football Team, ' o6- ' o7, ' o7- ' o8, ' oQ- ' io. Cely is from Bushy Fork County, not known at present writing. He is undoubtedly the biggest sport in the class; always out from 7:30 to 11:30 every night. Once had the misfortune to meet a pro essor on the way back; flunked out next day; promptly swore off; went again next night. We don ' t believe he ' ll ever be able to overcome this habit of nocturnal roving until he is drowned in the sea of matrimony. 23

Benjamin Franklin Cromley SALUDA, S. C. Thy soul was like a star and dwelt apart. Entered, ' 07; Member Carlisle Literary Society. Here is a brand new, all- vool-and-a-yard-wide specimen from Saluda. Ben likes to talk about Saluda; says she ' s improving, and no longer in- creasing the population of the graveyards by vio- lent death. He says the people of his county are becoming somewhat tame, and no longer kill negroes for a pastime: says now it ' s against the rules to kill ' em down there, unless they ' re on the shady side of the street or fail to lift their hats to you when you meet them. Ben ' s a fjuiet kind of fellow, though, and anyone wouldn ' t suspect him of being from Sakida, who did not know it. Joseph Kennedy Davis SPARTANBURG, S. C. An excellent scholar; one that hath a head filled with calf brains, without any sage in them. Monthly Orator; Second Critic ; President Preston Literary Society; Vice-President Freshman Class; Sophomore Speaker; Junior Debater; Winner Preston Essay Medal, ' oy- ' oS; Assistant Literary Editor Bohemian, ' oS- ' oq; Editor-in-Chief Bohe- mian, ' og- ' io; Y. M. C. A. Editor Journal, ' oQ- ' io; Class Historian, ' og- ' io ; Oratorical Speaker, ' oQ- ' io; Senior Speaker. Do not be misled, dear reader, by the gloomy and forbidding aspect which this specimen presents; for he is not half so fierce as he looks to be. He can even smile. When at leisure, he can be found building air castles for himself and the one girl that has had him in captivity so long; just who, ' tis hard to tell, because it is a known fact that he has bed time called on -him at least five times every week, and not by the same mother either. 25
