James M. Barr Leesville, S. C. Jim entered our class in the Junior year and would have finished with us had not his eyes failed only a few months before graduation. Regretting very much that we have lost him and extending to him our sincerest sympathy, we hope that he may yet recover his eye-sight suffi- ciently to finish his course in Wofford College. Leonard Porter Anderson, Richburg, S. C. Like a flower that cannot all unfold. Member of Preston Literary Society. iMember of Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. This face certainly looked simple, surelj ' we have seen it before. O, yes, this is Anderson, the Porter Anderson. He was in a class ahead of us, but when he saw us he decided he wanted to be our Por- ter, hence he dropped aside and waited for us. He has made us a good one and we gladly recommend him for such services.

Broadus DeWitt Alexander, Woodruff, S. C. The muscles of his brawny arms, Are strong as iron bands. Vice-president, First and Second Critic, Recording Secretary, Sophomore Orator of Calhoun Liter- ary Society. Winner of Calhoun Essay Medal. Class Football Team ' oy- ' oS, ' oS- ' og, ' og- ' io; Captain of Senior Team in ' lo- ' ii. Member of Gym Team ' 09- ' lo. Basketball Team. Broadus DeWitt Alexander, alias B. B. Aiken, hails from the metropolis of Woodruff, S. C, on the trunk line of the C. .W. C. Railroad. Alex is not really dangerous although the fact of his having so many ahases would seem to point that way. The only thing the matter with . lex is that he is addicted to writing short stories, and the sad part of it is that often they get into the Journal. Horace Brockman Anderson, Moore, S. C. His speech ivas a fine sample on llie whole, Of rhetoric which the learned call rigmarole. First Censor of Preston Literary Society; Historian of Class og- ' io; Member of Senior Baseball Team ' lo- ' ii. Horace claims to be a hard student, but if he is, it is studying how to spend the most time down street without missing any classes. On rainy days he stays in and says: There ' ll be no Converse girls out this day; so I ' ll stay in. His other spe- cialty is writing letters muchly filled with quota- tions from other poets as well as from Mr. H. B. Anderson. 20

Bennett, the silent. But that does not mean he is not thinking of Her. The Her ' ' changes constantly, but this does not keep him from taking it seriously. Ben is a very early riser, getting up at six o ' clock every morning— for what, no one knows, unless it be, to get the fire burning brightly for his roommate when he chooses to arise, generally about eight-thirty. Sam Orr Black Spartanburg, S. C. Bowed and bent as the mighty oak. And full of ivind as its branches.

Sammy is another one of the Spartanburg boys, and the most handsome of the the whole bunch. He never did try to hoodoo a professor, and never attempted to answer a question indiffer- ently, as if he knew all about the subject. A living joke is distasteful to him. It might be well to mention just here also that Sam is one of the future great physicians of his class. He expects to emi- grate to Jupiter and improve the sanitary condition of that planet. 22
