ZEPHANIAH LAWSON MADDEN Laurens, S. C. SWAINE ADELBERT MERCHANT Spartanburg, S. C. The good Lord made him for a man, so we ' ll have to let him pass. First Censor Calhoun Literary Society ; Member Class Baseball Team, ' 09- ' 10, ' lO- ' H, Go back to prehistoric times, select the biggest tuft of black hair ; set it upon the largest brain-roof around about ; get him to speak German, and call him Adelbert. Under the beneficent influence of modern civiliza- tion he has become imbued with a sort of refined culture. He is much engrossed in teach- ing sornething outside of college — something sweet, it is rumored. He was indicted for having prepared an exam a week ahead in his Junior year. Plead guilty and the sentence was suspended. Better than such discourse doth silence — lonfj, long, barren silence — square with my desire.

Be sure and get the name right, Zack is his name ; Zack, the professor. Not the one who climbed the sycamore tree, for, if Zack had been up the tree, Jesus would have said, ' Zack, ' make haste and come down, for you are spitting tobacco juice on these people down here. But Zack ' s in- dispensable plug is the smallest part of his system. His genial fellowship and uncon- querable energy far outweigh the small amount of tobacco he consumes. 29

Such an angelic expression must be the result of Cupid ' s work, but, ' tis strange, John has never been guilty of writing poetry. DuNc is the only person who can get a clear expression of this philosophical mind. Be- ware of a weeping brook, ' ' little Ophelia, this youth is a student ! 28

Billy, the Baritone Boy, ' discovered his vocal talent in his Junior year. He trained it out on the campus and at Converse, finally getting it under control. Vocal training as- suredly leads to the appreciation of good singing, and Billy, early in his Senior year, developed the habit of hearing all that was to be heard. These varied from the spring- festivals to mouth-organ music at Bobo, via the medium of musical comedies. JOHN THEODORE MONROE M.VRION, S. C.

Theo won much fame as a Glee Club artist during his first years of college life, but the numerous duties of a busy Senior compelled him to abandon the pursuit of his favorite pastime during his last year. An analytical mind, a straightforward, business- like manner makes us predict that Monroe will some day become a rival of Pythagoras of old. Theo has never been heard to express himself as to his future plans, but something tells us that he has one silently waiting for him down in the land of the Swamp 30
