DANIEL LAURIE EDWARDS MULLINS, S. C. Oft on the drapt led turf at ease I sit. and play with similies. Entered ' 10; Monthly Orator, First and Second Critic, and President, Carlisle Literary Society; Contributor to Journal; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, ' 12- ' 13; Winner Poem Medal, ' 12; Winner Society Essay Medal, ' 12; Literary Editor Journal; Member Wofford Council; Class Poet. Behold the poet Lauri-et Latin student of his class. Picture him when thrice the cock foretells the approach of Matin pondering o ' er some quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore. D. L. is America ' s coming poet whom the class recognizes as the rival of Poe. He doesn ' t mean to be dignified over his thoughts of poetic aspirations, though his walk leads us to that belief. We predict that he will some day write a famous poem in which a bird will quoth, Think of his Journal contributions nevermore. JOHN ASH BURY EDWARDS Seneca, S. C. The glass of fashion and the mold of form. The observed of all obscn-ers. Entered ' 11; Member Calhoun Literary Society. Behold Marguerite, The daily hint from Paris ! The girls regard him as the redeem- ing feature of Turner ' s Rest Room ; and he never disappoints the fair sex. He cares very little, however, for these uninteresting wemen who shower their glances upon hini; but spends his time thinking of how last year ' s Senior charges are getting on without his helping hand. He hails from Seneca, and bestowed a short part of his exciting young life upon the university in the little town to our right Greenville. His chief vacation pastime is summer school and flirting. 23

No day— unless a day when earthquakes are quite numerous— is too rough to keep Ty from practice. Yet he stops playing when night comes on. and. placing the ball before his eyes, he prepares his next day ' s task. Ty is a con- scientious worker, and often burns the mid- night oil. May he find a little girl who loves him as well as he loves his ball. I kiiozv not if I knoza ' zvhat true love is. Entered ' 11; Member Calhoun Literary Society. Ham hails f rom Kingstree by way of Clemson. After spending a couple of dreary years at C. A. C. he pulled up stakes and came to the best of the best. Now he is supremely happy, for he is taking German day and night, and going to see the ditties between classes. South Church is his earthly Paradise, and he has been known to call on the same lady only eight times during a single week. It is reported that he ' s fooled one Flossie, who is now anxiously waiting for his dip. Luck to you. old boy ! 24
