Gib is a practical reformer. His line of reform at the present time is that of blotting out that senseless habit commonly known as flirting. He has an extensive plan of reform. He began at the depot, but gave that up, and now he is diligently working the business sec- tions of the city. He hopes to finish this real soon ; and then he determines to make Alaska famous.

Yes, By Neds, this is a true fossil of Barnwell County, termed the fish yarner. He tells his fables with as much seriousness as if he were repeating his Paternoster. Arthur has made a special study of the natural sciences, especially Latin. He hopes to take his Ph. D. on this subject. Alas, ' to poor GooGE, the love of woman is known to be a lovely and a fearful thing! He is doomed to the fate of a big old flirt. 25

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

Here it is — Ijounded on the north by a pompadour, on the south by coats of many colors. He acquired his title of Styx from his elder brother, and soared to fame. Once an idol of fan-dom, he has degenerated into a rival of Terpsichore, and every summer astounds the natives of his village with the introductions of his latest accomplishments, tlis redeeming feature is his ability to decorate any and every piano stool. He is a lover of the Jit-shows. on which subject he is an authority. His sole ambition is to be a conductor on the C. and W. C. Railroad, JOHN OTIS GREEN Lake City, S. C.

Shorty is the impersonator of our class, and he bids fair to eclipse the greatest in this his cherished art. His favorite pastime is that of impersonating every member of the faculty in turn. We feel sure that some day the little hamlet of Lake City will glory in the fact that she nourished from childhood this son of hers.
