1 ROBERT LEIGHTON COX DOTHAN, N. C. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN CROMLEY Saluda, S. C. Give fools their silks, and kiiaz ' es their iviiie — a man ' s a man- for a ' that. Second Censor, First Censor, Second Critic, First Critic, and Vice-President Carlisle Societ} ' . Behold the pedagogue, the terror of small boys ! Nature has made him to sit behind a desk and dictate policies. In the school-room we behold him king, monarch of all he sur- veys. When he speaks : Look a ' here, young- man, sit up and behave yourself, there is obedience. The wielder of hickory switches is respected, honored, revered. What really lurks under that quiet face is hard to tell, but this we know: it lurks, for it has never yet shown itself. The first test of a really great man is his humility. Second Censor, Recording Secretary, First Censor, ' Second Critic, First Critic, and Presi-- dent Carlisle Society ; Freshman Marshal ; Speaker Freshman Exhibition; Speaker Sopho- more Exhibition ; Constitutional Revision Com- mittee ; Junior Debater; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, ' 11- ' 12; Speaker Preliminary Wofford-David- son Debate, ' 11- ' 12; Speaker Oratorical Con- test, ' 11- ' 12; Senior Speaker. • Here we behold a philosopher from the Tar Heel State. He prides himself on the double fjict that while in college he has learned to talk fairly well, and assumed a dignitied appearance. With such endowments, we predict a brilliant career in his native country. He expects to be President of N. C. in a few years. 19

LARKIN AUGUSTUS CARTER Lancaster, S. C. Be checked for silence, but never taxed for speech. College Marshal, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, First Censor, Second Critic, Vice- President, and President Carlisle Society. One of the Faculty once told us that our class was lacking in dignity, but he was wrong, howev er. The larger part of the dignity of the class is embodied in the person of Larkin. Watch him stalk across the campus some day, and deny it if you will. But his dignity is chiefly in his bodily person, and those in close touch with him find him genial, imaffected by flattery or censure, and unfailing in his appre- ciation of humor. The class could ill aft ' ord to do without this second Gus. FIIRAM SPEER BURDETTE Lanford Station, S. C. Fat paunches make quite lean the zvits. Second Censor, First Critic, and Vice-Presi- dent Preston Society; Class Basket-ball, ' 09- •lO. ' W- ' U. Hiram Speeram is not like other men ; in a world of strife and blatant noise he moves as one apart. When you talk with him he replies in a low, carefully modulated voice, having in it the assurance of high authority. You are irresistibly reminded of the murmur- ing of the pines, which at times conies to your ears, among whose tops he habitually moves, and whose music he has caught in its full meaning. He loves his brother man, and r woman — he adores her. 18

GEORGE MILTON CRUM Orangeburg, S. C. There arc no Iriclcs in l laiii and shnfle failh. Corresponding Secretary, Second Censor, Treasurer, First Censor, and President Cal- houn Society; College Marshal, ' lO- ' ll Speaker Sophomore Exhibition ; Vice-Presi- dent Class, ' 10-Tl ; President Class, ' 11- ' 12 Glee Club, ' 09- ' 10, ' lO- ' ll, ' 11- ' 12; Quartette ' lO- ' ll, ' 11- ' 12; Assistant Manager Glee Club TO- ' ll, ' 11- ' 12: Secretary and Treasurer Musi- cal Association; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, ' 11- ' 12 President Orangeburg Club ; Vice-President Student Body, ' l6- ' ll : Bohemian Staff, ' lO- ' ll ; Local Editor Journal. ' 11- ' 12; Member College Council. Milt is the high-water mark of our class. Look at his face, open, frank, without secret or deception. His specialties have been Psy- chology and Glee Club. His musical aliility speaks, rather than sings, for itself ; and he is evidently making some changes in the musi- cal world, possibly revising the scale. HENRY GRADY DAVIS Marion, S. C. O ' crstcp not the inodesty of nature. Monthly Orator, Calhoun Societ ' ; Class Track, TO- ' ll; Varsity Track, ' 11- ' 12. All through his college course Grady has been tortured by the fear that somebody would catch him at something. He dreads the dis- covery of his deeds, either good or evil, from sheer modestyV and in this respect he stands among his self-assertive classmates as a nug- get of gold surrounded by more or less polished pieces of brass. His nature finds its chief expression in the courtly game of tennis, and this is his chosen form of communication with his fellow students. He has been to a reception at Limestone, and has called upon a girl — once. 20
