ROBERT. T. FAIREY Bkanchville, S. C. He was made for a man, and so he is; True ' to himself , therefore to no man false. Entered ' 11; First Critic Calhoun Literary Society Chairman Intersociety Committee, ' 13- ' 14; Sophomore Speaker; Senior Speaker; Intersociety Debater. He ' s not one of the fairies that we ; read about in story books— but simply Soap. lo be perfectly honest, little is known about his origin- he happened to make his appearance when we were Sophomores. One thing we must not forget; Soap is an agent of the Southern Express Company, and ships most of his consignments— chiefly Jacob s, Nun- nallv ' s Lowney ' s, and watermelons— over the B B. line. The secret of it is, he s a leading stockholder of that road, and hopes some day to be its president. We don t blame him ; it ' s a worthy ambition. They say bells will ring then. JESSE EMERSON FORD Nichols, S. C. I dare do all that may become a man, Who dares do more is none.

BAXTER FAY DeSHIELDS Langford Station, S. C. That churchman bears a bounteous mind indeed. Recording Secretary of Preston Literary Society ; Member of College Council ; Athletic Editor of the Journal; Assistant Athletic Editor of Bohemian, 12- ' 13; Class Baseball, three years; Varsity Baseball, ' 12- ' 13; As- sistant Captain of Team, ' 13-T4; Class Basket- Bail four years; Captain Class Team, 13-14; Varsity Basket-Ball. three years; Manager, ' 12- ' 13; Class Football, ' 12-T3, ' 13- ' 14. Biff! There it goes over the fence. We hear this yell often when Baxter steps to the bat He is our star on the long distance hits and also shines as a basket-ball player. He is a quiet sort of a chap, but when he speaks out in class he makes everybody sit up and take notice. HARRIS PARHAM DuBOSE Lamar, S. C. Fire on ambition. Corresponding Secretary. Recording Secre- tary, Second Censor. Carlisle Literary Society; Sophomore Marshal ; Member Glee Club. Harry ' s time is used in walking on stilts, singing, Alma, where do you live? and passing back exams ; in fact, the latter is Harry ' s chief recreation, for he never ex- pects to pass them the first time, and claims that he would die of melancholia if he had nothing to do. He is now learning the Tango and Buzzard Lope, in order to make perfect his Monday night celebrations. He firmly believes in the old proverb. Eat, drink and be merry. for to-morrow you will have back exams. 24

CLEMSON CALHOUN G ARRIS Smoaks, S. C. Lord, Lord, how this world is given lying! Freshman Declaimer, Sophomore Orator, First Censor, Vice-President, and President Carlisle Literary Society; Member Wofford Council ; Intersocietv Debater ; Class Foot- ball ; Interclass Football; Class Baseball, ' 10- ' ll, ' 1 1 - ' 12, ' 12- ' 13; Contributor to Journal; Member Social Science Club. The ease with which this native of Smoaks adapted himself to civilized environment is nothing less than wonderful. Bing very quickly learned to wear shoes, collars, and other conventional things, and, shortly after his arrival at college, he coaxed his hair into a pompadour, and became our chief sport. Bing ' s genial nature, however, is sufficient to overbalance all his shortcomings. MARION KIRKLAND FORT Fork, S. C. No, my lord; you know no more than others: ' President, First Critic, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, and Senior Orator, Carlisle Literary Society; Class Football, four years; Interclass Football, four years; Captain Interclass Football, ' 13- ' 14; Class Baseball, T2- ' 13, 13- ' 14; Class Track, lO- ' ll ; Varsity Track, ' 11- ' 12, ' 12- ' 13, 13- ' 14; Class Basket-Ball, ' 12- ' 13; College Marshal, ' lO- ' ll, ' 12- ' 13; Chief Marshal, ' 12- ' 13; Sophomore Speaker ; Junior Debater ; Intersociety De- bater ; Alternate Intercollegiate Debate Team, ' 13- ' 14; Local Editor Journal; Delegate to College Press Association ; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, ' 13-14 ; President Marion-Dillon County Club, T2- ' 13; Member College Council. Here comes ' Spot ' is a sure sign of Fort ' s approach. Where he acquired his nickname only the chosen few know. Al- though he is a great student, Spot can in- variably be found at the music counters on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, purchas- ing the latest (ladies ' ) songs. 26
