Edward Hydrick Blackmon, A. B. ORANGEBURG, S. C. Rather first in an Albian village, than second in Rome ' ' We have our old friend Broadus, better known as DuTCH, noted for football ability, massive eating, and a time specialist. He can always be found at Converse, where all the ditties fall his way. His redeeming feature is dancing, and nothing exceeds his feet in daintiness. When anything happens among the fairer sex, and Dutch is not present, it is because of missing a ride. By way of emphasis, we might say that Dutch ' s mastery lies among the modern lan- guages. Ernest Cleveland Bomar, A.B., A.M. SPARTANBURG, S. C. Horv shall I fashion me to wear a cloak? What was that noise in the laboratory? It was only one of Mary ' s several explosions, in his attempt to broaden the chemical field. We also see that he is fond of anything that has wheels on it, especially automobiles (when out of fix). Mary is one of the best students in the Class, and he easily worked an A. M. in his course. He has a weakness for the fairer sex, and although he says he has not narrowed down to one we fear this to be a mistake.

OULD I but have the vision of the seer. And then could sing the melodies of cheer, Then I would sing of happy future years, And hide the sorrows of our parting tears. For though we shall awake another day. When we are then surrounded by life ' s fray, Far from this College we may then be gone. With our affections ' round her gently drawn. Then we shall our reflections calmly cast Upon the dreams which are forever past, And wonder how some boy his honors won, And why, perhaps, our task was left undone. The rising tide of fate may drift us far, And every tossing wave may leave its scar As each man labors through the -oming strife. Then bending neath the cares of mortal life. But in this life we have a work to do. If we will only to our Class be true: So then, may not one of us turn his back Upon the Gold which floats beside the Black. In this wide world there are both weak and strong. So may we shield the right and right the wrong. And gently calm life ' s raging tempest vile, As did the noble Doctor James Carlisle. Patient! Patient! O Thou who rulest Time, Men lean always upon thy love sublime. Bear then with us who enter life today And lead us high into the perfect way. May each man make this feeble, mortal fight In honor of his country, God, and right. And may the final breath each comrade draws Be followed by Heaven ' s welcome applause. — J. D. Stuart, Class Poet Nineteen

Benny Badger Broadway, A. B. SUMMERTON, S. C. What a piece of la ork is mart! Yes, this is Ben, the musician of the Class of ' 15. We captured him in the swamps of Claren- don, in the Fall of 1911; and by hard strugghng transplanted him in the City of Success. ' Ben has been with us four years, and during that time he has been a shining light in our intellectual and social circles. Ben is easily distinguished in any crowd by the sporty angle at which he wears his skypiece. Ben says there is no place like Spar- tanburg, and he is partial to the scenery of West Henry Street. William James Brown, A. B. LEO, s. c. ' ' Ah, let me close my epes and dream sTveet, fanci- ful, fragrant dreams of love. Little Willie is really one of the most in- teresting characters on the campus. He is the authority for the campus on Lander, being a fre- quent visitor, and a happy recipient of tri-weekly epistles from there. WilLIE ' s greatest ambition has always been to make catcher on the baseball team. They say he was a star in his own home town. We don ' t know what WiLLIE will do, but we predict a success for him, for he is all wool, true blue, and a yard wide. Member Carli ary Society. le Liter- Entered 1912- ' 13; Presi- dent Y. M. C. A.
