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

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

NELSON WALSER EDENS Clio, S. C. Let the world slide. Calhoun Society; College Marshal, ' 09- ' 10; Class Baseball, four years ; Class Football, four years ; Inter-Class Football, four years : Manager Class Football, ' 11- ' 12; Varsitv Base- ball. ' OS-m ' 09- ' 10, ' lO- ' ll, ■11- ' 12; Class Prophet. ? ! ! ! These dashes, etc., are used for the response met with when Waltz is asked to pass the sugar at Fairyland. This is an outgrowth of petulancy acquired in his early youth. His love for self-adornment varies strongly. On week days it is almost abnormal, while on Sunday it is entirely lacking. He is a baseball artist, and therefore a hero to the youth. Waltz also is a friend to his friends, and a mystery to all (the rest). HENRY LRBY ELLERBE Bennettsville, S. C. Behold your King! ' ' Entered ' 07, dropped out ' 08, reentered ' 09 ; First Censor Calhoun Society ; Freshman Speaker; Class Baseball, ' 07- ' 08, ' 11- ' 12; Class Football, ' 11- ' 12; Inter-Class Football, ' 11- ' 12. The King, or Pool-oo, as he is fandliarly known, came to college some five or six years since with all sorts of possibilities bundled uo in him. His inherent modesty has kept back the most of them. That he is of a poetic temperament is shown not only in his use of. English, but from the fact that nothing appears to him like the music of the spheres. His practical demonstrations are convincing. 21
