CLEMSON CALHOUN G ARRIS Smoaks, S. C. Lord, Lord, how this world is given lying!

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

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.

We prophesy his third desire wi be° fulfilled in June. ill 25

Pour years oi college life has transformed him trom a homesick youth of 100 pounds into a wise- looking man of 150. CLARENCE DOUGLAS GUESS Ehrhardt, S. C. How angrily I taught my brow to frown, When inward joy enforced my heart to smile.

Look, ladies, this is the original heart- smasher and Glee Club artist. Those who do not know Gretchen very well think that he was called to the ministry. He delights in three things: talking to girls, debating, and writing love lyrics. We believe that his oratory would make Demosthenes sound tongue tied. Whatever he does, we predict for him the brightest future. ■ 0 27
