Corresponding Secretary, Inter-Society De- bater, Monthly Orator, Chairman Inter-Society Committee, Treasurer, President, Calhoun Liter- ary Society ;■ Member Honor System Committee ; College Marshal. Chief ; Class Baseball ; Class Football ; President Sophomore Class ; Assistant Business Manager Varsity Basket-ball ; Manager Baseball ; Member Block W Club ; Assistant Business Manager Bohemian; Business Manager Bohemian; Member Wof¥ord College Council; Member Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. Some time in the dim past, that is, four years ago, G. C. waved a red flag at the dummy train passing through the sandy plains of Marl- boro County, and tag in one hand, and suit case in the other, started on his first long trip to Wofford. He arrived. Since then he has shown his marked ability as a business man and a leader. During the trials of college days, Carl has proved true to the core. He is every inch a gentleman and his friends are numbered by the number of men in the student body. CLIO, s. c. He is complete in feature and in mind, IVith all good graee to graee a gentleman. Second Critic, Calhoun Literary Society ; Mem- ber Reveller ' s Club, two years ; Junior Class Baseball ; Senior Class Football ; Member Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. Who is that silent fellow we see? Why, it is no other than Count Bennett, a representa- tive of Clio ! The more we know of him, the greater are the qualities that we find in him. He teaches us a great lesson ; that it is lietter to be sure and then speak. Diligence and sin- cerity have grown in him since we first knew him. Besides being a good s tudent and popular among the boys, he has won a place in the hearts of the fairer sex. He is a style block in whose mirror many may shape their fashions. We see great possibilities stored in him, and we shall never fear that Count will not prove to hu- manity that his four years in college have not been spent in vain. 17 ROBERT HENRY BEST, A.B., A.M. COWPENS, S. C. No keener hunter after glory breathes. President, Second Censor, Inter-collegiate De- bate Council Representative, Oratorical Speaker, Carlisle Literary Society ; College Marshal ; Pro- hibition Speaker ; Senior Speaker ; Sophomore Class Football ; Inter-class Football : Varsity Football Squad. At last some good has come out of Cowpens. A better than he is very hard to find too, for Brainy has, throughout his college career, been there with the goods. Although he has been with us only three years, he has not only ob- tained fame in numerous athletic and forensic contests, but has secured both the A.B. and A.M. degrees as well. He has also taken great interest and has had considerable success in the study of Greek Literature. The reason for this some think to be twofold, but we have no proof of this. If accomplishments in college are any prophecy of the future. Brainy will some day, before he passes into the great beyond, be- come a very famous psychological, dynamical, tricotomy. HAMMOND CRUM BOWMAN, A.B. ORANGEBURG, S. C. you will jest with me, know my aspect And fashion your demeanour to my looks. Second Censor, Second Critic, First Critic, Preston Literary Society; Vice-President Debat- ing Club ; Class Football, two years ; Class Base- ball, two years. Ruby? Yes, this is Ruby! Bashful? Well, I should say so ! He has been in college four years and has his first time to call on a girl in this town. If you don ' t believe he is bashful, just ask him why they call him Ruby and watch him blush. Aside from his bashfulness, he is an A No. i fellow. His greatest desire is to live in a tent on the Edisto, where, according to his tales, one can catch fish so large that one is enough to furnish food for the camp for three days. We are expecting to see Bowman ' s Tales of the Edisto appear on market soon after he finishes college. We are certain that it would be of an interesting character. 18 ADVILLE BARNES BOYLE, A.B. SUMTER, S. C. Match me with a good dancer, for I am kin to Pan. First Censor, First Critic, Calhoun Literary So- ciety ; Senior Class Football; Vice-President, Secretary Terpsichorean Club; College Marshal; ' Member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity. Unfortunately for Barnes as well as for the class, he missed his train and had to wait over till the next one over the Southern, arriving in Spartanburg the middle of September, ' 13, in- stead of ' 12. But a little spark of wisdom, hid- den beneath the surface, caused him to see the excellency of our class and he panted to be- come a member. He succeeded. You see the shining face before you now. Since his dis- covery he has served as model for many a fashion plate. Barnes has also shown to the College world some new steps in the Kitchen Sink. But withal he is made of mighty fine timber, and his business sense will shove him through a place where his face would surely de- bar him. NATHANIEL VESPUCIO DE FREFrAS CABRAL, A.B. PORTO ALEGRE, BRAZIL. Take me myself for what I am JJ ' ifhout addition or diininishiuq. Corresponding Secretary, Monthly Orator, Car- lisle Literary Society; Secretary Wofford Col- lege Prohibition League; President Volunteer ' s Band; Secretary Junior-Senior Bible Class; Class Basket-ball, three years; Class Football, two years ; Gymnasium Team. Seven years ago Nat left his home in Brazil in quest of an American education. After one year at Bingham Military Academy and two at the Fitting School, he began his four years ' pil- grimage with us as Freshman. Nat has ever been popular among the fellows and has taken an interest in all college activities. From the beginning he applied himself faithfully to what- ever he undertook, and especially to his books; with the result that he is now one of the best- read fellows on the campus. When he returns to his native country we know he will continue to achieve success, and live up to the highest ex- pectations of his friends. 19 JAMES LIPSCOMB CALHOUN, A.B. REDMON COLE CANNON, A.B. NINETY-SIX, S. C. He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again. First Critic, Monthly Orator, Chairman Consti- tution and By-Laws Revision Committee, Cal- lioun Literary Society ; Member Wofford Honor System Committee ; President Greenwood County Club ; Junior Baseball Team. Hailing from Ninety-Six, Lip blew into Spar- tanburg some four years ago to make his Home- Town symbolic of good students. His favorite pastime is memorizing Shakespeare ' s Plays. He has, however, not only succeeded in distinguish- ing himself in the class-room, but has, by Tiis hearty cooperation in all student activities, won the love and admiration of every one with whom he has come in contact. His cheery smile and happy laughter are always welcomed. L ' nder the coveririg lies some of the highest ambitions and most far-stretching aims that man can possess, and his indomitable spirit will never be stilled until he has fulfilled his worthy purpose. , We predict for him a most brilliant future. JOHNSONVILLE, S. C. Do not question me, I am an honest man. Member Preston Literary Society ; Class Foot- ball for two years. Cole has not spent four years on the campus in vain. The folks at home will recognize him when he returns with his dip, not because he is the same Cole as in ' 12, but only because they have seen him at intervals since then. Right proud of him they must be, too ! And, confi- dentially, it is rumored that one person, particu- larly, somewhere down about Johnsonville, is go- ing to be prouder than anyone else when he re- turns to stay. Surely he will go back to his native town, for we know him too well to be- lieve that he would refuse to do anything that would make someone else happy. He is a sin- cere, loyal, constant friend, and has many friends on the campus. We expect much of such a man, and wish for him Life ' s best. 20 CHARLES ANDREW CARTER, A.B. JAMES OTTIS CASTLES, A.B. CHESNEE, S. C. He sees her coviiiic and begins to cjloiv Even as a dying coal revives with wind. Freshman Speaker, Freshman Marshal, Inter- Society Debater, Junior Debater, Sophomore Orator, Junior Orator, Corresponding Secretary, Recording Secretary, First Censor, Second Cen- sor, Third Censor, Second Critic, Carlisle Lit- erary Society; Assistant Literary Editor Bohe- mian ; Vice-President Freshman Class ; Treas- urer Sophomore Class ; Sophomore Marshal ; Secretary, Vice-President Y. M. C. A. ; Secre- tary Ministerial Band ; Member Student Honor System Committee ; Delegate to Kansas City International Student Volunteer Convention. Although Charlie brooks a wound by Cupid ' s arrow, he courts the girls on the installment plan. After all, he is a consistent, high-toned, religious gentleman. All these years, he has had in view a steady and worthy purpose — that of the Ministry. Taking as criterion his lovable nature, sterling character, and steady devotion to prin- ciple, we are confident that he will be a credit to his class, as well as an uncompromising force in God ' s harvest field. SMYRNA, S. C. A man of many dreams. Member Preston Literary Society ; Sophomore Class Basket-ball. York County sent to Wofford in the fall of 1912 one of her choicest sons, in the person ot J. O. However, he came to us from the Fitting School, after having spent a year there. During the four years he has spent in college he has de- veloped into a good student, and also acquired some excellent qualities along the line of sales- manship. His special line is Love Insurance, and in case of hard luck, protectographs. His college course has for the most part been a quiet, solitary career, but he has, nevertheless, proved himself to be a worthy friend, and in turn won the friendship of many of his college companions. He is kind, af¥able, and courteous, especially to the fairer sex. He is a diligent and energetic student, and a loyal member of his Society. L 21 JAAIES CARLISLE CAUTHEN, A.B., A.M. ORANGEBURG, S. C. ' Tis holy sport to be a little vain. Third Censor Preston Literary Society; Class Marshal; T. P. L Marshal; Member of College Council two years ; Athletic Advisory Board ; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet: Masters of Art Club; Managers ' Club ; Gymnasium Team ; ' Varsity Track two years ; ' Varsity Baseball Squad ; Class Baseball three years; Class Basket-ball three years ; Class Football two years ; Manager Gymnasium Team ; Manager ' Varsity Basket- ball ; Circulating Manager Old Gold and Black; Wearer of W ; WC ; 16 ; Member K. A. Fraternity. ■ CuTiE, because of his good looks and pleasant i manner, has long been a favorite among the fair : sex. He has a host of friends, both among the faculty and students. Cutie has the true college i spirit, and with more men like him on the cam- j pus things would be different. He is fond of all sorts of athletics, though hardly a Star at any. I Being a born mechanic, well informed, having j much executive and marked inventive ability, we i predict for him great success in any field that he chooses. JAMES CARLISLE COVINGTON, A.B. CLIO, S. C. True as a needle to the pole, Or the sundial to the sun. President, Secretary and Treasurer Honor Sys- tem Committee; President, Vice-President, Sec- ond Critic, Corresponding Secretary, Calhoun Literary Society; President Carlisle Hall Execu- tive Committee, and Member three years ; Vice- President, Treasurer, Senior Class ; Junior De- bater ; Athletic Editor, Wofford College Journal; Secretary, Athletic Advisory Board ; Treasurer, Athletic Association ; ' Varsity Football, two years ; ' Varsity Track ; Member, Block W Club ; Mem- ber, Y. M. C. A. Cabinet ; President, Vice-Presi- dent, Secretary and Treasurer, Marlboro County Club ; Member, K. A. Fraternity. Jake has distinguished himself in all phases of college life. When not doing something for old Wofford, like trying to collect athletic fees, he may invariably be found at the restaurant. In spite of this weakness, however, he is one of the most popular boys of his class. He is a great student and athlete. A man, whom to know, is to admire. His good nature and sterling character insure for him a bright future. 22 CHARLES ROBERT CREIGHTON, A.B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. Of manner gentle, of affection mild; III zvit a man. simplicity a child. Member Calhoun Literary Society. To the student body this young man is known as Lord Creighton, to the facuUy as Mr. Creighton. Charlie has been on the campus for seven long years, three having been spent at the Fitting School. Though his lessons were difficult, he was never afraid of them. He would lie down beside them and go to sleep. Yet, for all this, Ch. ' Nrlie is full of fun, and quite often takes a period of? to indulge in some jocular pranks. He has strolled the boulevards and other places where the fair sex were wont to pass, but never has Cupid ' s arrow pierced his heart. Charlie is a kind-hearted, generous lad, and has a lovable disposition and many sterling qualities. By his quiet, unobtrusive .ways, his loyal devotion to duty, and his good nature, he has won the love of faculty and students. WILLIAM HENRY CREWS, A.B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. And all the beauty of the place, Is in niy heart and on my face. First Censor, Corresponding Secretary, Cal- houn Literary Society ; College Marshal for two years ; Member of Glee Club. Be careful, ladies, this is Bill, the artistic heart- breaker of the class. Don ' t fall a victim to his coquettish eyes, his pompadour, and his Broad- way walk. But, eliminating this ruthlessness of his. Bill is all right. He is the warm-hearted and sterling friend to all, and his cheerful voice and hilarious laughter will dispel the deepest loneli- ness. Bill takes a great interest in his Sciences, especially in Mineralogy, in which class he is con- tinually asking Uncle Dan all sorts of non- sensical questions about the most familiar rocks. It has been rumored lately that he is seriously contemplating the revising of the science of min- erals. But, anyway, there lies before him a bril- liant and glaring future, and we predict that he will accomplish marvelous things if he will only sever his close relations with his wonderfully attached friend, Charles Creighton. 23 ROBERT LEONARD CUDD, A.B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. Heard melodies are sweet, But those unheard arc sweeter. Senior Monthly Orator, Calhoun Literary So- ciety ; Member, Glee Club two years, and Mu- sical Manager one year; Member, Orchestra. After having finished four years at Hastoc High School, where he stood at the head of his class, Leonard entered college at the beginning of our Sophomore year. Not only is he a good student, but also a marvelous singer. For two years he has toured over the State with our Glee Club, and rightly does he deserve to be called Mocking bird. Leonard has developed to be quite a ladies ' man during his college career. Just ask him why he wants to go West to live. Well, I wonder if we couldn ' t guess ! He intends to follow as his vocation, that of a physician; and as his avocation, that of an undertaker. We would appreciate if some one would please tell us how he could help but succeed. WALTER WRIGHT DANIEL, A.B. COLLEGE PLACE, COLUMBIA, S. C. Hozi imteh better is it to weep at joy than to joy at zveeping: Editor-in-Chief, Assistant Business Manager IVofford College Journal; President, Vice-Presi- dent, First Censor, Third Censor, Recording Sec- retary, Corresponding Secretary, ' Senior Weekly Orator, Junior Weekly Orator, Sophomore Monthly Orator, Preston Literary Society; Col- lege Marshal; Sophomore Declaimer ; Inter- Society Debater; Member Carlisle Hall Execu- tive. Committee; Secretary Honor System Com- mittee ; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet ; Secretary Junior Class ; President South Carolina College Press Association ; Gymnasium Team three years ; Cheer Leader two years. Here he is, Ladies ! The smallest of them all. When Poop came to this old campus, in the fall of ' i2, he was very wild; but since, has devel- oped into a sport among sports. The height of his ambition is to become a graceful dancer. But, in spite of this, taking all in all, he ' s all right, and we hope and predict a brilliant future for him. 24 willta:m hicklin dargan, a.b. HENRY MADISON DAVIS, A.B. GREENWOOD, S. C. I am a zvorthy man, seek not to alter me. Second Critic, Preston Literary Society ; As- sistant Manager, Gymnasium Team ; ' Varsity Football Squad ; Class Football, three years ; Class Baseball, three years ; Class Basket-ball ; Vice-President, Tennis Association; President Wofford Fitting School Alumni Association ; Vice-President Social Science Club. Just simply to tell you that Bill is the son of a preacher would not do him justice, because he is not wholly bad. He has many good qualities, among which are: His ' power to intimidate Freshmen, and his ability to pass examinations on the second trial. Coupled with these, he is an all- ' round good fellow, a jolly companion, a true friend, and a hard worker. If Bill teaches school next year he may be a little harsh, but we predict that he will not pursue his way ruth- lessly for more than a year or two. INMAN, S. C. The mills of the gods grind slozv, but exceed- ingly fine. First Critic, Vice-President, Preston Literary Society; President Carlisle Hall Executive Com- mittee ; Class Football, two years ; Senior Class Basket-ball ; Treasurer Mid-night Raiders Club. Henry, Mons-Victor, the extra rapid-fire im- porter of the non-illusory Carlisle Hall hash and toughened sheets, can single-foot to a T in this, his unforgetable task. Were he not at the depot at eight P. M., train Number 10 would fail to reach its destination. Despite these diffi- culties, Henry is a good student ; and when it comes to Surveying, he prefers being rod-man. He is a man of the world, truly worthy of Wof- ford ' s stamp, giving genuine friendship to any- one deserving it. Although somewhat reserved, he has pluck, willingness, and energy, and shows the stuff true men are made of. It has been a genuine pleasure to have had him with us. Would there were more like him ! 25 ERNEST LeROY DOWLING, A.B. DARLINGTON, S. C. Dull wits Spend loiifi, loiii days in bachclordoni, But wise men marry youiifj. First Censor, First Critic, Carlisle Literary So- ciety ; President Darlington County Club; Class Football, two years. Ernest came into our midst from Wofford Fit- ting School. He is a brilliant student, and has made an enviable record during the three years he has been in college with us. His unselfish way and his friendly disposition have won the love and admiration of all those with whom he comes in contact. He is very popular among the ladies, and his greatest desire is to win one of these fair creatures as a partner to help him stem the tide of the boisterous sea of life. We think this is very likely to happen any old day, as his visits are growing in frequency to a certain home on Evins Street. Good luck to you, Old Scout, and may you achieve your greatest desire. SAMUEL CLARENCE DUNLAP, A.B. UNION, S. C. Labor omnia vineit. Junior Orator Carlisle Literary Society. Sam has the distinction of being the oldest member of his class, though his bright smiles and never-fading humor give him the appearance of a giggling school boy. It has been whispered among the boys that Sam is strongly con- templating a conjugal relationship. The less cred- ulous element of his friends, however, do not be- lieve this, because he is too shy in the presence of the ladies. He has been observed to turn the color of a beet when addressed by a fair damsel. When he entered college he was too green to burn, but a change has come over him, so that now, with his business tact, and executive ability and biblical knowledge, in conjunction with his forensic power, he is a fit subject for the bishop- ric. In all solemnity, Sam will enter the Chris- tion Ministry and we, who know him, predict for him crowning success in the moral vineyard of his Lord. 26 RODRICK MURCHISON EDENS, A.B. CLIO, S. C. If knozvledge he the iiiark, to knozv thee shall suffice. . President, Vice-President, Second Censor, Re- cording Secretary, Calhoun Literary Society; Manager of Junior Class Baseball; Senior Class Football; Member Inter-Collegiate Debate Coun- cil; Business Manager of the Journal; Inter-Col- legiate Debater; Member Pi Kappa Phi Fra- ternity. Upon the threshold of 1912, Clio sent forth from its wild community one Rod Edens, who, becoming acquainted with civilized welfare, elim- inated the prelude of his name and acquired the name of Slim. One always hears him arguing upon questions of today, and we see him ever ready for participation in everything that is for the betterment of college life. We never hesi- tate to rely upon his knowledge, for his way of thinking twice before speaking has made him a peer in this phase of his college career. We have relied upon him, we do now, and in the future there is no doubt that his intellectual attainments will reflect credit upon old Wofford College. JOHN EVANS EUBANKS, A.B., A.M. WARRENVILLE, S. C. A man, a gentleman, an idealist; such men are dangerous. Assistant Editor-in-Chief, Literary Editor JVofford College Journal; Vice-President, Second Critic, Third Censor, Carlisle Literary Society ; College Marshal ; Winner of Carlisle Society Es- say Medal ; Hart Moss History Prize, McSwain Tax Prize ; Class Poet. Banks hails from the metropolis of Warren- ville. His chief hobby is winning Essay medals and falling in love with Georgia girls. Yet this is not all he does. A glance into his face will prove this, for therein is written sincerity, in- tellect, and ambition — nature ' s greatest gifts. He has taken an active part in all literary functions of the college, being connected with both the Journal and the Annua l. He is the only member of the Senior Class making distinction in all of his studies for the whole year. Much is thought of him, not only by the boys but also by the faculty. In behalf of the girl of his dreams we predict for him a great future. 27 THOMAS KELLER FAIREY, A.B. HARVEY EVANS FELKEL, A.B. ST. MATTHEWS,, S. C. He was wont to spcali plain and to the purpose, like an honest man and a student. Corresponding Secretary, Junior Monthly Ora- tor, Treasurer, Second Critic, First Censor, Pres- ident, Preston Literary Society ; Member, Y. M. C. A, Cabinet ; College Marshal ; Society Re- porter, Old Gold and Black; Editor-in-Chief of the Bohemian. You can always find Keller in the Chemical laboratory preparing himself for a medical Uni- versity next year. He is the Dr. of his class. Notwithstanding the fact that he has a very heavy course this year, he always finds time to write his daily letters to St. Matthews, and we think that Cupid ' s influence may be a great factor in determining his future career. We all remem- ber the old story, that love and school duties do not go hand in hand, but he is an exception to this rule, judging from his four years at Wof- ford. He has won a deep place in the hearts of all his classmates, and we are expecting to see him in a few years one of the greatest doctors in our country. ELLOREE, S. C. The basis of his charaeter was eatition com- bined with tont ' h tenacity of purpose. ' ' Member, Preston Literary Society; ' Varsity Football Squad ; ' Varsity Track ; Class Football, two years ; Class Basket-ball. Yes, we all remember Harvey ' s smile as he strode sedately upon the Campus to become a member of the Honored Class of ' i6. Harvey was some star on the gridiron during the Class games. He was the mainstay of his team. The way he could tear through both lines either to carry the ball or to tackle the man with the ball would make even the most indifferent sit up and take notice. Harvey got hurt trying-out for ' Varsity last year, and went to the hospital. But the pristine and pre-eminently predominant cause of his trip to that place was, not so much the hurt, as his suffering from a distorted and elon- gated, not to say perturbed and sublimnal at- tack of ehotomania. He finally recovered, how- ever, and has shown himself to be a student as well as an athlete. ROBERT THOMAS FLETCHER, A.B. MCCOLL, S. C. Brains, not si::c. make the man. Vice-President Calhoun Literary Society; As- sistant Business Manager, Manager Track Team ; Member Athletic Advisory Board two years; President Old English W Club; Member Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. Robert, or Bud, made his appearance in the fall of ' 12. He is not a great man, in stature, at least, but as he says of himself, he ' s little, but loud. This, however, does not prevent him from being a good runner. He may shine in other things, but when it comes to running, he ' s an arc light. During his first two years in col- lege he was not much of a ladies ' man, but now he seems to have changed somewhat. The ladies just can ' t help falling for him. He says that he is going back to the farm and settle down. We feel quite sure that, some day, he will be one of South Carolina ' s most successful farmers. WALLACE DUNCAN GLEATON, A.B. FORT MOTTE, S. C. A diligent man stands before kings.

M. C. A. Cab- inet; President, Vice-President, Horry County Club. Gleaton is the son of a Methodist preacher. His present home is in Aynor, of Horry County. At present, he is calculating how to meet Uncle Guss ' s Latin without disturbing his morning ' s rest. He has taken four languages. He has many honors in the Carlisle Society, and has been active in college functions. As information to the opposite sex, he has been domesticated by four vears ' active service at Carlisle Hall, which qualifies him for an ideal help-meet. He has a strong personality and an emotional nature, to which he has added constancy and perseverance. With these characteristics, there is no reason vvhy he should not succeed in his chosen profession of the ministry. 29 CULLEN BRYANT GOSNELL, A.B. JULIAN Lafayette griffin, a.b. INMAN, S. C. Oh! JVhcrc will zvc find his like again? Member Preston Literary Society ; Secretary, Vice-President, President, Debating Club; Class Basket-ball, four years ; Captain Senior Basket- ball ; ' Varsity Basket-ball ; Junior Class Baseball. CuLLEN is from the great metropolis of Inman, S. C. It was a great event in his heretofore quiet life when he made his appearance at Wofford, and all who know him can testify that his stay on the campus has done him much good, both in the way of some of his natural greenness and adding a great deal to his store of learning. Of all the History stars, he stands out as the most prominent. Besides being a student, he is well known in the art of playing basket-ball. His aspiration is to be a school teacher in his native town, and he has our most ardent wishes that he will attain the object of his dreams. PINEWOOD, S. C. Since that my beauty cannot please her eye, I ' ll weep what ' s left away, and weeping die. Member Preston Literary Society. Julian, better known by most of us, Cutey, ascended from the swamps of the Santee to the hills of the Piedmont in the fall of ' 13. If you ever see his roguish smile and his brilliant, danc- ing brown eyes, you will readily understand why he has been given the name of Cutey. He was real bashful when he first arrived at Wofiford, it being his habit to take of¥ his cap and nervously turn it between his fingers when in the presence of young ladies ; but not so now, for he has de- veloped into a real ladies ' man. Aside from this, he has a remarkable intellect, and stands among the highest of his class, in addition to lac- ing a veritable walking encyclopedia. Pinewood is sure to be proud and boastful of this same little bunch of Cuteness ' some day. 30 EDWARD BUCK HAMER, A.B. MARION, S. C. Were it not better, Because that I am more than common tall, That I did suit mc all points like a man? Recording Secretary, Second Critic, Calhoun Literary Society ; Class Football ; Class Baseball ; Class Basket-ball; ' Varsity Football, two years, and Captain one; Glee Club; Secretary and Treasurer Block W Club; President Marion- Dillon County Club; President Social Science Club; Member Athletic Advisory Board; Execu- tive Committeeman S. C. I. A. A. ; Inter-Society Committee ; Junior Debater ; Member Y. M. C. A Cabinet; Vice-President Senior Class; Society Reporter and Y. M. C. A. Editor Old Gold and Black; Senior Speaker; Member K. A. Fraternity. This is really Yap, Slim, Pike, or just any- thing you wish to call him. He is best charac- terized by his irresistible smile and his jolly good-nature. In spite of the fact that Yap is from Marion County, he is an all- ' round good fellow, and is good in every phase of college life. He is also a ladies ' man, and since it is leap year we are very anxious about Yap. JOHN WEST HARRIS, Jr., A.B., A.M. SPARTANBURG, S. C. A youth he zvas at first, but now he has become a man. President, First Critic, Third Censor, Treasur- er, Corresponding Secretary, Inter-Society De- bater, Monthly Orator, Carlisle Literary Society; Inter-Society Committee ; Chairman Inter-Col- legiate Debate Council ; Member College Coun- cil, two years.

Four years ago John was famous for his shy- ness, but since then he has developed into a model man, the ideal that most of us vvould at- tain. In his studies he has been Johnnie on the spot, annexing A.M. to his A.B., apparently without efifort. In the meantime, he has taken part in nearly all phases of college life. John is a sincere and loyal friend to all his fellow stu- dents, and we feel that he is worthy of all the rewards that life may bring to his door. 31 JOHN RAMSEY HARRISON, A.B. DUNCAN, S. C. He found his smile in early youth, and keeps it ivith him nuzv. Member Preston Literary Society. John, better known as Spects, having learned everything that CaroHna was capable of teaching him, came to Wofford to get still more knowledge to add to an already great store. He is a great ladies ' man, a delightful conversationalist, a graceful dancer, and is well informed on almost any subject one would wish to discuss. His will- ingness to serve, and his keen sense of humor have already won him many friends at this institution. His greatest desire is to teach Biol- ogy and Chemistry in one of the large Universi- ties of our Southland. Without a doubt he will succeed in this line, since the war has claimed many prominent scientific men as its victims. Wherever he goes, we feel certain that he will gain the love and respect of every one with whom he may come in contact. WILLIAM HENRY HODGES, Jr.. A.B. LAKE CITY, S. C. Lady, as you are mine, I am yours: 1 give away myself to you. and dote upon the exchange. Secretary, Carlisle Fitting School Alumni ; Sec- retary, Treasurer, Vice-President, Social Science Club; Vice-President Preston Literary Society; Student Assistant of Chemistry, two years ; Stu- dent Assistant of Biology. Any one who desires any information upon any subject whatever should, by all means, consult Handsome. In the tield of Natural Sciences, especially Biology and Chemistry, he is renowned, both as a student and as a laboratory assistant. He is also very fond of languages?? One of his cherished ambitions, according to report, is to one day subject Dr. Chiles to a grilling examina- tion on French. In the Literary Society also, he is by no means unknown. In fact. Bill is an all- ' round fine fellow, and has many friends among both SEXES, all of whom predict for him a most brilliant future. L 32 JOHN HERSCHEL HOOD, A.B. HICKORY GROVE, S. C. When you depart from me, sorrow abides, and happiness takes his leave. Junior Class Historian; Second Critic, Preston Literary Society; Class Prophet; Member Ath- letic Advisory Board ; Member Glee Club ; Presi- dent and Vice-President York County Club. SoHN, who is better known to most of us as Hersch has three very bad habits, of which he has tried hard to rid himself. These are: Sing- ing, eating, and sleeping. He has made a tour of the State with our Glee Club, and really thinks he is a singer, or at least he must think he is, for if there is any singing going on he is usually the leader. We predict that some day in the near future he will knock Caruso out of a job. Sohn is a great student, and likes very much to get up at seven-thirty and go to Clink.s ' Astronorny. Whatever line of work Sohn follows we predict for him a glorious future, for he is something great when it comes to handling a Line of any kind. OTIS PASCAL HUFF, A.B. LAURENS, S. C. Hear me a little, For I am never silent long. Second Critic, Monthly Orator, Weekly Ora- tor, Inter-Society Debater, Calhoun Literary So- ciety ; Freshman Speaker; Sophomore Speaker; Track Team ; Gymnasium Team ; Class Foot- ball ■ Class Baseball; Vice-President, Reporter S. C. I. P. A. ; Member Delta Sigma Phi Fra- ternity. Say, who is this coming here, making a fuss that some might recognize as an attempt at sing- ing? Oh, that ' s Otis! No, not the Otis of revo- lutionary fame, although he approaches him m oratorical a1)ility. Members of his Society at- tribute his success to his study of Ingersol s Oration at his Brother ' s Grave, which he has mastered so perfectly that Ingersol himself would be ashamed to attempt to speak after him. Lord Huff declares that he didn ' t come here to study, but to get an education ; and we believe that he succeeded pretty well, though he had to break his rule and study a little on Chemistry. We, who know him best, like him best, and m the future will be glad to have known him. 33 BERTIE SNOW HUGHES, A.B. HEMMINGWAY, S. C. I dare do that may become a man. Who dares do more is none. Keeper of Archives, Vice-President Carlisle Literary Society ; President Ministerial Band. Bertie is the epitome of geniality, lovable dis- position, and of genuine worth. He has not time for the frivolities and passing fancies of life, but must be engaged in something that is O ' a religious aspect. It can be said of him that can be said of few on the campus, that when things go wrong with him he hopes everything is going all right with the other fellow. His altruistic spirit is one of his outstanding charac- teristics. Bertie, under all circumstances, re- mains undaunted, persistent, carrying with him all along, the disposition that drives away de- spondency. He is a student of unimpeachable integrity ; he practices what he preaches, and he preaches a true Gospel. He has indelibly im- pressed himself upon the students as a man de- siring a reform in student life, a turning from the wrong path to a path of rectitude and duty. Bertie looks forward to the Christian Ministry, in which field we predict for him great success and wonderful achievements. RENOUFF BOLAND KIRKWOOD, A.B. bennettsville, s. c. A true blue num. his fellozos like hint zvcll. Monthly Orator, Second Censor, Second Critic, First Critic, Calhoun Literary Society ; Freshman Marshal; Member Carlisle Hall Self-Government Committee, two years ; Class Baseball, three years ; Class Football, four years ; Member Marl- boro County Club ; Member Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity. Renouff, better known as Kirk, hails from the fair land of Marlboro. Words cannot express how time will affect a man. His readiness to serve and unlimited kindness have brought him many friends. He has always believed that it is better to think twice before speaking, and out of this method he has accomplished much to be proud of. We. who know him 1.)est, admire him for his manliness and frankness. We are aware of his intellect, and see honor written on his brow. In the future, we feel sure that we can always look upon Kirk as a man who is ready to do at least his share of the world ' s work. 34 JOHN ROBERT LANGFORD, A.B. PROSPERITY, S. C. No constancil c.vpeet thou from the faithless fair. Second Censor, Preston Literary Society; Class Football, two years ; Captain, two years ; Tennis Team ; Vice-President of Midnight Raiders ; Member of Pi Kappa Fraternity. Johnny, who hails from Frog. Level, a small town which has lately changed its name to Pros- perity, is of a happy and care-free nature, but is one who will stick to a friend to the last, and he has many friends who will verify this state- m.en. Not so long since, we feared greatly for him, for he would insist that he was in love, but we are very glad to say he is himself again, and now it would be hard to make those who know him believe that he ever could love one of the fair sex. His greatest pastime is reading every kind of a magazine he can find. If you need any information on the latest love stories, ask Johnny, and you will be given a correct nar- ration of the whole plot. BRAXTON CFL RLES LANKFORD, A.B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. When most I seem the Saint, Then most I play the Devil. Member Calhoun Literary Society; Class Bas- ket-ball, two years; ' Varsity Basket-ball; Mem- ber Block W Club; Member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity. By means of his thorough preparation at Has- toc ' High School, B. C. skipped the Freshman Class and entered as Sophomore in 1913. He was a good student, and showed exceptional business instincts, with a predilection for things mathe- matical. B. C. has already won a record of no per cent, efficiency. We can predict only suc- cess for him, for no one knowing his parental environment and his personal efficiency could do otherwise. Another advantage he has is, that he is always amicable. His ready blush and slight lisp suited him for a lady-killer, but his kind- ness of heart, or, perhaps, his timidity, fortu- nately, prevented. He has always been a favorite among the ladies, and always will be. Entering Basket-ball in his Senior year, B. C. proved himself a star of the first magnitude. 35 W CLARENCE ARTHUR LEWIS, A.B. COLUMBIA, S. C. He Speaks zvhat often we do not dare to speak. First Censor, Carlisle Literary Society ; Mem- ber of Carlisle Hall Executive Committee. After having spent two years at Carolina, Clar- ence, or, better known as Lefty, made his ap- pearance on Wofford campus in the fall of ' 14. However, the change was not due to the _ fact thar he was going to study for the ministry. Some say that he left Columbia because of a broken heart, while others say he left because he was not able to get a sufficient amount of Caro- lina ' s Bull. He is very much pleased with the way Carlisle Hall is run, and especially with the preparation of the hash. However, Lefty is very loquacious, and has a bountiful store of knowledge. He gets this from his constant read- ing of the Parisieniie and the Psyehologieal Re- view. In all seriousness. Lefty is an all- ' round student. One never sees him up town. He has all the qualities of a true man. JOHN KENLY MONTGOMERY, A.B. MARION, S. C. For he ' s a jolly good fellow, as nobody ean deny. First Censor, Second Critic, Calhoun Literary Society; Society Reporter Old Gold and Blaek; Assistant Editor-in-Chief, Athletic Editor, Bohe- mian; Athletic Editor, Local Editor, Old Gold and Black; ' Varsity Football Squad; Class Foot- ball, two years ; Sophomore Class Baseball ; Offi- cial Scorer ' Varsitv Baseball, two years; Vice- President Marion-Dillon County Club; Member Terpsichorean Club; Cheer Leader; College Glee Club. We are all familiar with a certain little auto- mobile which is noted for the amount of noise it can make. Well, this is nothing on Johnny Montgomery, for he is hardly ever silent, and, when out of som.ething to say, is able to run on reputation. He has also been able to run his pen quite fluently in the interest of various college activities, for no matter what the activity is, Johnny is somewhere in it. He is an all- ' round good fellow, and much admired by his fellow students. 36 henry mahone moody, a.b. KEMPER, S. C. Never over serious, not too c ay, but a rare good fellow. Second Critic, Second, and Third Censor, Ar- chive Keeper, Junior Weekly Orator, Carhsle Literary Society; Class Football, three years; Class Baseball; Class Basket-ball. Parson says he is from Kemper, but we are unable to find even a cross-road by such a name on the map. Everybody seems alike to Parson, for his cheerful smile and jolly good-humor are evident at all times. He will be a rich man one of these days, especially, if he can get his girl to move inside the five-cent limit. But if he misses this one, there seems to be another one back home patiently awaiting his return, so he will hardly be the bachelor of the class. Besides getting the cracH out of his laugh, he has taken advantage of his college opportunities, and on the whole, his course has not been in vain. We. expect to hear from him again. EDWIN FOUNTAIN MOSELEY, A.B., A.M. LAURENS, S. C. Better to be small and shine, than great and east a shadow. First Censor, Third Censor, Corresponding Secretary, Recording Secretary, Chairman Con- stitutional Revision Committee, Chairman Inter- Society Committee, Sophomore Orator, Senior Orator, Preston Literary Society; College Mar- shal, Secretary, Treasurer Laurens County Club; Member Carlisle Hall Executive Committee; Vice-President Prohibition League; ' Varsity Track, two years; Local Editor Journal: Assist- ant Athletic Editor Bohemian ; Treasurer, Presi- dent, Y. M. C. A. ; Secretary Senior Class ; Freshman Speaker ; Inter-Society Debater ; Junior Debater; Senior Speaker. Weenie is a most excellent student, as well as a leader in practically every phase of college activity. Unless, in the future, he deviates from those principles which he has, during his college days, so closely follov. ' ed, his life will be one which makes for good and stands for those things which are highest and greatest. 37 JEROME ERNEST MURPEI, A.B. WHITE STONE, S. C. To be merry best becomes you; For out of question you were born in a merry hour. Member Preston Literary Society ; Freshman Marshal ; Sophomore Marshal ; Sophomore Base- ball ; Member Carlisle Hall Executive Commit- tee ; Member Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity. Who can guess by looking at his picture that Jerome is a close student? The writer has looked at the original for four years and has never guessed it. Still, he has made his mark, and a deep mark it is ! He has learned the lesson of English well, knowing when and how to use it to best advantage. With the most innocent look, he could rap on the inside of the door, get up, shake hands with an imaginary friend and leave the room. Strange to say, Gus was never put wise. Years can never efface the knowl- edge of his genial good fellowship, his sincerity, and his true blue character. We, who have rubbed elbows with him for four years, well re- member him as the best-hearted fellow we have ever met. JOHN SHAFFER McCLIMON, A.B. GREER, S. C. He is not a politieian, but withal a goodly man. Member Preston Literary Society ; President, Secretary, Deljating Club ; President Spartanburg County Club; Junior. Class Baseball; Junior Class Football. Mac ' s father brought him to Wofford College in the fall of 1912. At first his Father could not trust him alone so far away from home, but his stay on the Campus, though but a few years, has worked wonderful changes in his intellect as well as his appearance. And now he is so well sea- soned that he can go all over Spartanburg and not get lost. There was a time, way long ago, when Mac was very bashful, but even this so demoralizing handicap has been removed by the Hand of Providence, and, at present, he is quite a star among the fairer sex. And it is said that there is at least one heart back home to re- joice with him when he gets his Dip in June. GROVER WINFIELD PALMER, A.B. PENDLETON, S. C. The zmrld has only tzvo cars, and zvhen he speaks she hears. Freshman Speaker; Sophomore Speaker; Sophomore Orator, Senior Orator, Member Treasury Committee, Member Board of Trust, Chairman Board of Trust, Carlisle Literary So- ciety ; Member Glee Club. Clear the track, for George is coming ! After four years of extraordinary close application, George has developed into a student. But that isn ' t all. He is the tangible personification of dignity. Watch him stroll across the campus some afternoon; and deny, if you can, that his whole being is permeated with dignity. There is curiously mingled with this dignity an unques- tionable integrity, and unstooping principles which add to the true worth of the man. Aside from this, George possesses some of the tpost high-reaching ambitions and towering aspirations ever known to man; and his ardent spirit will never be satisfied until his noble purposes and lofty aims reach a climax in the great world of big things. REMBERT PATE, A.B. CLIO, S. C. Benny, than art sad: get thee a ivife; get thee a Zifife. Second Censor, First Critic, Calhoun Literary Society; Member Executive Committee Carlisle Hall; Senior Class Football; Member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity. Quiet, well, yes. Good looking, rather. A ladies ' man, you bet! Benny never says much to the fellows, but when the ladies come around he ' s there. You can tell by the twist of his pom- padour and the twinkle in his eye that he, poor fellow, loves the ladies ; not one, but all. Ben- GALLus stirred up quite a bit of dust in his old stamping-ground, that tiny freckle on the face of old mother earth, the town called Clio, before his advent at Wofford. Now he ' s going through the social swirl at Converse, arriving there at four- thirty P. M., five Saturdays in the month, to quench his thirst at the Converse fountain. He is a steady fellow, though, and will show the Inisiness world he ' s made of the proper material. 39 RAYMOND AGNEW PATTERSON, A.B. GEORGE EDWARD PRINCE, Jr., A.B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. Some that smile have in their licarts, I fear, millions of mischief.

Captain ; Class Basket-ball, three years. Captain ; Member Athletic Advisory Board ; Member Block W Club ; President Hastoc Club ; Member of Kappa Sigma Fra- ternity. The greatest flash of intelligence that Rick has ever exhibited was when he decided that this class was the one that he desired to graduate with. Since making this momentous decision he has been breaking forth in such spasmodic out- bursts that at times one is led to believe that he seems to have almost human intelligence. How- ever, Rick has made a splendid record in college in both his studies and athletics and he also has a winning personality that makes friends on every side. With him goes the best wishes and high expectations of his hosts of friends. ANDERSON, S. C. ■7 knozv he doth deserve as niiich as may be yielded to a man. Recording Secretary, Calhoun Literary Society; Inter-Society Committee; Vice-President Wof- ford Fitting School Association ; Member Glee Club, two years ; Quartette, two years, Manager ; Secretary and Treasurer, Carlisle Hall Execu- tive Committee; Literary Editor, Bohemian. Stop! Look! Listen! Who is he? Caruso or McCormick? Oh, no, it is only George, the fu- ture Metropolitan Star. He hails from the great Electric City. Five years ago, George entered the Fighters ' Hole, and after spending two years there, he saw that it would be to his credit to step into harness with the Class of 1916. His hobby is heart crushing, but from the number of Billets Doux that he sends to Anderson, we would judge that there is one heart which he does not intend to crush. He expects to make his home in the Golden State, and we know success awaits him there. 40 JAMES CLYDE PRUITT, A.B. ANDERSON, S. C. He hath a heart as sound as a bell, And his tongue is the clatper. President, First Critic, First, Second and Third Censor, Recording Secretary, Sophomore Month- ly Orator, Inter-Society Debater, Carlisle Lit- erary Society; Business Manager, Athletic Ed- itor, Old Gold and Black; Honor System Com- mittee; College Council; Inter-Society Commit- tee; Member Block W Club; ' Varsity Football, two years ; Inter-Class Football, two years ; Man- ager Class Football; ' Varsity T4;ack ; ' Varsity Baseball Squad; Captain Class Baseball. Don ' t say anything amiss about Anderson County, for, if you do, you are likely to have a scrap on your hands. Mouth has but two re- grets, and they are: First, that his voice is not in proportion to the size of his body ; and, second, that he did not take French under Das Colwell. But his long suit is smashing the ladies ' hearts. We wish for him the greatest success as a politi- cian, which he has determined to be. WALTER GASSAWAY RAMSEUR, A.B. CENTRAL, S. C.

Ram, being from the Centre of the Universe, naturally has a most marvelous line of hot air. But, unlike most men of this nature, he can focus his line in any direction he wishes. When there is heed for an orator, debater, writer, organizer, or leader in any other activity, Ram is on the job. 41 TOY FENNELL REID, A.B. ROCK HILL, S. C. A college of -unt-crackcrs cannot flout me out of my humour. First Censor Preston Literary Society; Junior Class Football ; Member Glee Club, two years ; J. ' leniber Quartette, two years ; Treasurer Glee Club ; Vice-President York County Club ; Presi- dent Radio Club. That mellow tenor rising from yonder group of students belongs to Toy. He has it copy- righted and patented under the laws of all the great nations of the globe. If it were not for this fact, the Wofford Glee Club would_ not be nearly so renowned as it is. Do not think that because his name is Toy, he is a plaything. He has the enviable capacity of being able to get, with little labor, what most students get only after much study. He is a true and noble f riend. i One can expect only the greatest success in store I for him in life ' s great future. WILLT. M CHAMBERS REID, A.B. ROCK HILL, S. C. He is as full of valour, as of kindness. Second Censor, Senior Weekly Orator, Record- ing Secretary, Preston Literary Society ; Junior Class Treasurer ; Sophomore Class Football, two years ; ' Varsity Football ; President York County Club ; Member Inter-Society Committee ; Chair- man Membership Committee of Society ; Secre- tary Inter-Collegiate Debate Council; Member of College Council ; Chief Engineer of Surveyors ' Club. Here he is, boys ! A living monument to the much-argued theory of Evolution. Four years ago Bill entered college, one big blooming, buzzing mass of confusion. But the elements that go to make a man were buried somewhere in his isature, and after four years of civilization he speaks for himself. Because of his good- natured disposition Bill has made a host of friends among his fellow-students, who shall re- member him with pleasure in after years. He was kind, just and well-disposed towards all men; faithful in the performance of every duty ; _ a loyal member to his society, and an energetic, earnest and active student. 42 JOSEPH BETHEA REYNOLDS, A.B. LYDIA, S. C. He ' s gentle, well schooled and learned; full of noble dez ' icc. Vice-President, First Critic, Second Critic, Re- cording Secretary, Old Gold and Black Reporter, Carlisle Literary Society; President Debating Club ; Winner of Junior-Senior Journal Story Medal ; Vice-President Darlington County Club ; Member Senior Class Honor System. Joe is a peculiar conglomeration of good, bad, and indifferent. He is the novelist of his class, and the popularity of his works is undisputed. He is a good student, a firm friend, a strong character, and a fine fellow. But he is a lady- killer, and for this we must condemn him. Even though Joe is carrying a heavy course, he finds time to write his regular letter to Lander. He says that no one knows what he has gone through with. We wager a nickel bill we can guess. Nevertheless, he ' s all right. JAMES STACEY RUCKER, A.B. SWANSE.X, S. C. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Second Critic, Carlisle Literary Society ; Fresh- man Speaker ; Member Debating Club. Here is old Stacey, the one shining star of Calhoun County. Early in his life he migrated to the city of Bamberg. Tasting there some of the luxurious fruits of knowledge, he was found in tJie fall of 191 1 on Wofford Campus, trying to satisfy his intellectual appetite. Stacey is very seldom seen in the day, but whenever one goes to the depot about ten o ' clock at night, there he is sure to be found. This seems very strange, indeed, for Stacey is a solemn and sober fellow. He went to Converse one afternoon and went into the kitchen, thinking it was the parlor. Nev- ertheless, we think, or, rather, hope, that there is a lonely heart near Swansea awaiting Stacey and his dip. 43 GUY BERNARD SMITH, Jr.. A.B., A.M. SPARTANBURG, S. C. ivould my horse had the speed of your tongue, and so good a coutiiiuer. ' Member Preston Literary Society; Treasurer Electricity Club; Class Baseball, and Basket-ball. On a fine September morning, four years ago, Guy made his first appearance on WoiTord cam- pus He was conspicuous for his short trousers and his success in getting on the good side of the faculty from the start. But in the course of his four years ' stay in the Wofford atmosphere he has succeeded in attaining long trousers and a o-oodly portion of that knowledge to which he aspired. At the beginning of his Senior year he decided to lengthen his name by adding A.M; to it and this he has not stopped short of doing. We all hope for Guy the best of good luck, and we know that if there is any one who can get along in the world, he will. JOSE.PH EDWARD SPROTT, A.B. SPARTANBURG. S. C. Alas! he is too young: yet he looks successful. Member Preston Literary Society; Member Gymnasium Team, six years; Secretary of Midnight Raiders. No, that is not one of the faculty, although he is as old and dignified as the most typical of the Drs. Joe is a well-known figure on the cam- pus, having a record of eight years ' attendance, four of those being in the Fitting School and four in the college proper. When he entered school last fall, he brought a little Ford with him, and since then the two have been insepara- ble companions. The greatest problem facing Joe at present is to determine wliich one of many girls he really loves. His time is divided equally between writing numerous love letters, driving his Ford, and getting off back exams. At bot- tom, Joe is a man of sound principles, and we expect of him a successful career in whatever line of work he chooses to follow. 44 JAMES MORGAN SPROTT, A.B. MANNING, S. C.

JiMMiE made his fame at Wofford on the foot- ball gridiron. If it ' s an interference to be un- dermined, a man to be stopped, or a ball to be seized, JiMMiE is the man to do it But on an October afternoon last fall, Jimmie departed from his rough comrades of the gridiron and sought the tender care of the nurses m the hospital for a broken leg We do not know how intimate he became with his nurses, but now, if an argument on Woman Suffrage arises, Jimmie immediately becomes the champion of the fairer sex. these are his specialties, but he is an all- ' round good man, and no doubt the world will profit by his having lived.

The class of ' i6 became famous when Jarvis made his appearance in September, 1913- He came to us from the Carlisle Fitting School, but originated in the metropolis of Lodge, S. C. He is very muchly attached to the foreign languages. Jarvis devotes most of his time to his studies, however, he finds time to sell the famous Kahn Bros. clothes. If you do not believe he carries a good line, mention it to him, and he will con- vince you. His two greatest ambitions are : To become instructor of French and German in some University, and to travel for Kahn Bros. Watch him, fellows! Some day he is going to make Lodge famous. 45 DAVID ALEXANDER TILLINGHAST, A.B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. do vozv a friendship III perform it to Hie last artiele. Member of Calhoun Literary ' Society. Listen! This is Tilly. He is one of the midgets of our class. Though small in .stature he IS just the opposite in intellect. He is very bashful among the ladies, and it seems as if he cannot break the habit of blushing and shuffling his feet when spoken to by one of the fair sex. He is a student in every sense of the word, and when exams come Tilly is right there with the goods._ He has forged ahead in literary pursuits and his greatest ambition is to be an editor of some great newspaper. We feel assured that his success is certain in this work. When not busy in the_ class room or reading some famous author, he IS gathering news for the Spartanburg Herald. Wherever he may go, he will be pointed out as a man of great intellectual ability and a steady worker. WHITFIELD CARLISLE WHARTON, A.B. COLLIMBIA, S. C.

Senior Monthly Orator, Calhoun Literary So- ciety; Class Football: Class Baseball; ' Varsity Football Squad ; Track Team ; Member Glee Club and Quartette, two years. You would not think so, ladies, by looking at him, but Carlisle is the bass-est man in col- lege. I know you are convinced, if you heard him while wandering over the State with the Glee Club. He has been a stellar member of thi. renowned organization for two years. Be- ■ sides this, he has starred in class baseball and football. His chief faults are primping and star- ing at himself in the mirror, but these he will overcome. He is an arduous Physics student, and his ambition is to become an instructor of this subject in a female institution. We are sure that he will find no trouble in securing this po- sition, as he was never known to fail under Un- cle Dan. 46 EUGENE DUGLASS WHISONANT, A.B. JOHN HUBERT ZIMMERMAN, A.B. ROCK HILL, S. C.

Whis came to us in our junior year, after having attended both Erskine and Carolina. Better late than never. He hails from the city of Rock Hill, better known as the Good Town ; and we feel sure he will do his part in helping the city to maintain her present motto. He has decided to enter the Pastoral field, and we predict for him a great future at the helm of Methodism in our State. CHAPPELS, s. c. Comrades, leave me here a little, While as yet ' tis early morn (12.30 A.M.). Senior Weekly Orator, Carlisle Literary So- ciety ; Member Inter-Society Committee ; Presi- dent Midnight Raiders ' Club. This somnolent biped that hibernates at Bobo Cottage has corns on his feet and liands in his pockets ; believes in going to bed with the chick- ens, reading O. Henry and the Police Gaactte, and meeting No. 10. Although he hails from, he seldom goes to Chap (p) el (s). Neverthe- less, he is the only man known who learned Ben- nett ' s Latin Grammar in twenty-four hours. He is well read on multifarious subjects. He is a man, open, frank and sincere, with great mental ability in both the theoretical and practical. He is a quiet thinker of no mean power, but withal he is just Plain Zim, and many of us would profit greatly by a little Zimology. He will prove a noble prize to his Alma Mater in the coming years. 47 HERE is no truer statement than the one, History re])eats itself. And ahhough the passing years luring on a change in the hfe of every individual, still man remains practically in the same relationship to man. The ceaseless years roll on, but always nature throws on the screen of human activ- ity the impressions of the same passions, hopes, yearnings, fears, and ambitions. And as this is true regarding others, in like manner does it pertain to the college man. The class of 1916, which now is on the verge of making its entrance into the world of business, has finished a four years ' course at Wofford, preparing itself for post-graduate work in the University of Hard Knocks. As each student looks back to the autumn of 1912, how near it seems ! We can scarcely realize that we have accomplished our required tasks, for better or worse, as the case may be. Some of our fellow classmen fell out of ranks while the marching still was easy. Some stuck for a year, but, becoming discouraged by barriers in the way, departed from our midst, and many are now lost sight of. Others, being made of sterner stuff, marched on till, footsore and weary, they paused to rest and were left behind by those who saw the goal. And now only the tried veterans of four long toilsome years stand at attention to receive from their commanders the laurels of victory. All are worn and battle- scarred, but all are happy. 48 When the chapel bell in the latter part of 19 12 announced that another session had begun, a veritable horde of verdant Freshmen piled up the steps to take their seats and receive their introduction into the mysteries of campus life. One hundred and ten strong we sat looking with awe-struck faces on the Faculty and older students. Among us some were green, others were greener, and still others lacked experience. Everybody seemed to understand die announcements and to know what to do, but we were all in open-mouthed ignorance, motionless, and petrified. When the time for matriculation came, we were, according to the unchanging custom of former years, directed by wise Sophomores to the bell tower, gymnasium, and dark corners of the build- ing. At length we wandered to the right room and then came to the realiza- tion that trulv we were the most important part of the Wofford student body. We were the fiirst class to enter Carlisle Hall, and in this beautiful build- ing we were given the warmest reception of our lives by the upper classmen. W e soon saw that the Sophomores were more interested in us than the others, but, as is characteristic of new men, we were not glad. The weeks passed by. We learned many things about our work and also the names of our fellow students. And being jealous of the organization of the upper classes, we too desired leaders. Hence we met and elected the following officers : L. D. B. Williams, President: C. A. Carter, Vice-President; M. T. Williams, Secretary and Treasurer. We also desired to show our prowess as athletes, and chose E. M. Wharton, Captain, and Charles Lucius, Manager, of Baseball; R. L. Osborne, Captain, and P. T. Carter, Manager, of Football; C. H. DeShields. Captain, and W. M. Turljeville, Manager, of Basket-ball. We made the aver- age showing of every Freshman class — that is, we lost our games to the better trained teams of the upper classes. Some of our members ' did not return after the holidays, and in the place of our former President, L. D, B. Williams, we elected C. B. Huff and W. G. Ramseur, Secretary and Treasurer, in place of M. T. Williams. Late in the year we held our annual Oratorical Contest, known as the Freshman Exhibi- tion. O. P. Huff and R. T. Medlock represented the Calhoun Society : E. F. Moseley and W. G. Ramseur represented the Preston ; G. W. Palmer and C. A. Carter represented the Carlisle, Palmer winning first place. Many said that it was the best Exhibition in years, and, swelled with pride, we believed them, not thinking to ask, Exhibition of what? Soon summer came, and we hurried home proud in the knowledge that we were no longer Freshmen but mighty Sophomores. Our vacation was 49 4 happy, but, like all other joyous times, was short. And since the college needed us to direct affairs, few were our regrets on returning. Our officers this year were ; G. C. Adams, President ; W. G. Ramseur, Vice-President ; W. W. Daniel, Secretary, and C. A. Carter, Treasurer. R. L. Osborne was both Captain and Manager of our Base])all Team: J. C. Pruitt as Manager and R. L. Osborne as Captain directed the policy of our Football S(|uad; while R. A. Patterson was elected Manager and J. P. Earle, Captain, of Basket-ball. We made a much better showing, starring in Football, and winning about half of our other games. While we were busy putting the Freshman ' s unwilling feet upon the hard and beaten paths and teaching them that they were created for our convenience in making beds and running errands, the time passed quickly by. In March we held the Sophomore Exhibition, the speakers this year being : W. D. Gleaton and G. W. Palmer, from the Carlisle Literary Society: J. P. Earle and O. P. Huff, from the Calhoun : W. W. Daniel and W. G. Ramseur, from the Preston. This contest, like the one the year before, was the best, according to common report, ever pulled off on Wofford campus. And so our second year was tilled with gore and glory. When our third year rolled around, the stylish cut of our trousers were not so pronounced. Our ways were more sedate. Our views toward Social- ism and Freshmen were more moderate. In fact, we became just plain Juniors. We met this year, as we had done heretofore, and elected officers: W. G. Ramseur, President: J. C. Covington, Vice-President: J. W. Harris, Secretary, and AV. C. Reid, Treasurer. In athletics we selected R. L. Osborne, Captain, and R. J. Smith, Manager, of Basket-ball : J. C. Pruitt, Captain, and R. M. Edens, Manager, of Baseball : R. L. Osborne, Manager, and J. R. Lang- ford, Captain, of Football. We assumed our share of leadership together with the Seniors, and did our work on the whole, I think, well. But this year, like the last, passed away all too quickly, and soon the end came. Now, for the first time, we took part in Commencement. As Junior Debaters : C. A. Carter. W. D. Gleaton, E. F. Moseley, W. G. Ramseur, J. C. Covington, and E. B. Hamer showed the quality of our class in the art of debate. Next came the time when we should enter the chapel doors as Seniors. How grave and dignified we were! Did not the under classmen look up to us? Did not the Faculty regard with favor? Yes, we realized our importance to the fullest, and set to work to do our duty as best we could. Our officers 50 were ■ J W. Harris, President ; E. B. Hamer, Vice-President ; E. F. Moseley, Secretary J C Covington, Treasurer; J. H. Hood, Prophet; W. G. Ramsenr, Historian, and J. E. Enbanks, Poet. J. C. Pruitt and J. R. Langford were Manager and Captain respectively of Football; J. W. Harris and C. B. Gos- nell were elected Manager and Captain of Basket-ball. This year we achieved our highest honors in athletics, and after four long years of struggle and fight carried off the class championship in Football. The following men were put in charge of our publications; T. K. Fairey, Editor-in-Chief, and G. C. Adams, Business Manager, of the Bohemian ; W. W. Daniel, Editor-in-Chief, and R. M. Edens, Business Manager, of the Journal; W. G. Ramseur, Editor- in-Chief, and J. C. Pruitt, Business Manager, of the Old Gold and Black. The class elected E. D. Whisonant, E. B. Hamer, and W. G. Ramseur as Senior Speakers. The Faculty appointed E. F. Moseley, J. W. Harris, and R. H. Best. What we have accomplished as students of Wofford College may not go down in the annals of history as a series of remarkable achievements. Our classmates mav not all be Presidents of our beloved United States. The Faculty may not point back to us with pride as remarkable leaders and model men. But we are satisfied. Our college work at Wofford is done. We_ do not now raise the question, How weh or with what end in view? Time alone can tell our worth. Let us hope that each of us has caught a vision of a man ' s duty and that each will carry on his fight in life under the banner of right and justice; for these are the lessons Wofford tries to teach. W. G. Ramseur, Historian. 51 ERE ' S something new, said my friend, as we were strolling around through the fair grounds. Let ' s go in and see what it is. All right, lead on, I replied, for I was anxious to take in everything. Come right in, gentlemen, said the strangest-looking little man I think I have ever seen. Would the gentlemen like to take an excursion through dreamland ? The rates are reasonable and the scenery is most beautiful. Here ' s all there is to it: If you wish to go to dreamland, pay me one dollar and smoke this pipe; the rest will follow. That ' s simple enough, said my friend; ])ut I don ' t care to do it myself. Well, if you will only promise to stay with me, I said to him, I shall take the trip myself. Good; I promise, he replied, and almost at the same time the little man lighted the pipe and handed it to me, smiling and saying as he did so: Pay as you enter, please. I laughed, handed him a dollar bill, and at once began smoking. If there is anything that you would like especially to dream of, try to keep your mind fixed upon it while you are smoking. 52 Everything was already growing dim, but I realized that it was the little man who had spoken to me, and the words had scarcely fallen from his lips when I began to say over and over in my mind: My classmates, my class- mates. Everything around me grew fainter and fainter, and finally I closed my eyes and it seemed to me as though I were dropping down, down, down, until Hello! Where in the world am I? I thought, as I found myself m a large city. I turned to a man near me and asked him what was the name of the town. He said it was New York, and, thanking him for his information, I set out to see some of the city. While I was going down one of the prmcipal business streets, a big sign, Sprott Bros.— Men ' s and Boys ' Outfitters, at- tracted my attention. There was something familiar about that name, and I walked into a large building to find out who the proprietors were. To my great surprise, they were none other than C. W. and J. M. Sprott. They told me that J. E. Sprott had recently bought an interest in their stock and that they were all doing well. Joe, they said, had reaped a fortune from some jitney lines between New York and neigjiboring towns. They also told me that Harrison had entered the medical profession and was a successful eye, ear, nose, and throat specialist. He was located in one of the suburbs of the city. In another part of the city I met Boyle. Barnes showed me one of his cards, which read: A. B. Boyle, Instructor of Modern Dances. He had become a teacher of world-wide fame, and had long since put Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle to the wall. On the train between New York and Boston I met J. E. Murph. Mutt was a traveling salesman for, as well as a stockholder in, a large firm in Phila- delphia, and was making a success. He said he had been to all of the most prominent towns in the United States, and was soon going to press the sale of his company ' s product in Europe. I learned from him that T. K. Fairey was Instructor of Chemistry in Johns Hopkins University, and that O. P. Huff was teaching Biology in the same institution. It seemed that Mabel and O both got their start in life teaching their respective subjects in Wofford College. In Boston I met my old friend, W. H. Hodges. Bill was up there on business. He said that he was at the head of a large manufacturing com- panv which made a specialty of pennants, pillow tops, etc. From all appear- ances, he was getting along well. 53 Starting to catch a train out of Boston, I was struck by the strong, clear voice of the train-crier. Later I found that it was J. C. Pruitt. For several years after graduating at Wofford, Mouth had coached the football team there, but he had decided to make a tour of the United States, and had arrived in Boston broke. That explains why he was thus employed. In Philadelphia I saw E. D. Whisonant. VVhis had become a great evangelist, and was looking after the work of Billy Sunday, whose health was failing. He told me that C. A. Carter and VV. D. Gleaton both belonged to the South Carolina Conference and were highly respected ministers. V. D. had taught school for a few years after finishing at Wofiford, but Crook had straightway begun to expound the gospel. In Gloucester, Mass., I was so struck by the size and fullness of etiuip- ment of a fishing fleet that I began to inquire as to who the owner was. At first I was surprised to know that it was J. C. Covington, but upon second thought it wasn ' t such a great surprise, after all, for I remembered what a delight Jake had taken in telling us his great fish stories while we were in college. He had started out merely for pleasure, but so great was his luck that he soon became owner of numerous smacks and had taken up fishing as a life profession. S. C. Dunlap was working with Jake and was one of his best salesmen. Sam got his experience in this trade while in college. I learned from Jake that R. M. Edens, after taking a law course in Har- vard, became a great lawyer, and had rapidly accumulated a large fortune. Slim had, however, felt the call of the wild, and was now with Theodore Roosevelt on his second expedition to the jungles of Africa. While walking down a broad boulevard in Detroit, some one passing by in a large car waved his hand at me. After he had stopped I recognized him to be J. C. Cauthen. Cutie, by getting out a new patent on the Regal car, had made a pile of money, and was now investing it in first-class hotels all over the South. B. C. Lankford, who had formerly been an electrician, was Cutie ' s partner. B. C. had made a success as an electrician, but he grew tired of this occupation and was going into the hotel business for a change. In Atlanta I found J. K. Montgomery editing a paper called Montgom- ery ' s Sunday American. This paper was formerly published under the name of Hearst ' s Sunday American. Mont began as a reporter, and soon had the paper in his own hands. He had just married his third wife, and it was rumored that his first two wives were talked to death, but of course we know that that ' s all bosh. Mont gave me one of his papers, and in it I noticed 54 that J. E. Eubanks and H, E. Felkel were missionaries in Africa and were doing a great and lasting good for that country. It stated that they had ah-eady estabhshed many good schools and strong churches in the jungles, and had caused thousands of people to give their lives to the great cause. B. S. Hughes and J. S. Rucker, as the paper also stated, had been engaged in the same kind of work in some part of China, but Bertie, because the climate over there didn ' t agree with him, had returned home, and Ruck, not wish- ing to carry on the work alone, returned also and accepted a position formerly offered him, viz., teaching Psychology in one of the Southern universities. At the Music Festival in Atlanta I found booked as the leading artists T. F. Reid, G. E. Prince, and W. C. Wharton, and they made a great im- pression upon the music-lovers of that city, as they had already made in many large cities of America and Europe. Toy, George, and Carlisle seemed none the worse for the royal receptions which were everywhere tendered them, and in fact seemed to be enjoying their notoriety. They informed me that R. L. Cudd had acquired great fame as a pianist and composer. Cudd was now making a tour of Europe, and music critics were declaring him to be almost the equal of the great Paderewski himself. Seeing a large observatory in Washington, I decided to go through it. To my great surprise, two of the astronomers were J. H. Zimmerman and C. A. Lewis. Hubert and Lefty had recently proved the theory that Mars is inhabited, but their methods of proof were beyond my comprehension. Later I found myself in the United States Senate room. A question of great national importance was being discussed, and the two Senators irom South Carolina, W. G. Ramseur and W. C. Reid, were from all appearances there with the goods. Ram and Willie, getting into politics shortly after leaving college, took with the people, and received one office after another. It was thought that neither of them had reached the top rung of their political ladder. In a new college in Virginia, founded by an old Wofford graduate, I was surprised to learn that in the faculty of twelve men seven of them had taken their degrees at Wofford, among them being R. H. Best, C. B. Gosnell, and W. W. Daniel. Brainy was holding down the chair of Greek ; Cullen was teaching History and was using some text-books of which he himself was author; and Poop was at that time Gymnasium Instructor, but it was thought that he would soon become president of the college. J. L. Griffin had occupied the chair of Mathematics for one year, but, being dissatisfied 55 with the work, he had returned to the farm. Julian said he had rather follow an old mule across a field any day than try to drill math into the heads of some Freshmen. One morning a letter upon which I could not make out the postmark came to me. 1 opened it, and saw that it was signed by N. V ' . Cabral and E. F. Moseley. Weenie and Nat were in South America, having been employed by the government of that country to make geological surveys, and reported some great experiences. They were thinking of coming back to the United States on a visit pretty soon. John L. Bennett, Undertaker. Dr. G. C. Adams, Office Up,stairs. These two signs were seen on the same street, only a short distance apart, in Raleigh, N. C. Some one said that these two men had adopted a plan of doing business which was quite original with them. Carl divided his profits with Jack, and Jack likewise divided his with Carl. No one knew just what their object was. Glancing over the morning paper, while sitting in one of the Charlotte hotels, I saw an advertisement which was something like this: See us be- fore buying or selling. We can save you money. R. B. Kirkwood and J. R. Langford, Dealers in Real Estate. The clerk said he knew these men and thought they were getting rich. .-V short time before that, Kirk and John had bought a number of town lots and sold them in less than two weeks, clearing several thousand dollars on the deal. Upon entering one of the county court houses in South Carolina. I saw four of my old classmates. E. L,. Dowling and J. S. McClimon, two prosper- ous farmers, were bringing suit against a fertilizer company, and J. W. Harris was their lawyer. E. B. Hamer, a well-known Chemist, was one of the witnesses. The company had sold Dowling and Mac some fertilizer which was below the standard. John ' s good argument and Buck ' s evidence won the case. Hello! What in the world are you doing here? I ' m glad lo see vou! said D. A. Tillinghast, as I stepped off the train in Memphis. Dave was editor of a daily pa])er and had much to tell me about my classmates. G. B. Smith was a civil engineer and was at that time surveying the route for an electric railway which was to be run from Memphis to Norfolk. Guy was having some experiences. J. B. Reynolds was the only Novelist in our class. Joe had just finished a series of books in which he had created a verv beauti- ful character, Mary. J. E. Calhoun was working in a bank. It was thought 56 that in a short time Calhoun would become president. J. E. Thompson had gone into the tailoring business. Jarvis handled a line of clothing that could always be depended upon both for style and fal ric. H. C. Bowman was in some part of Michigan where he never saw a human being or heard the sound of a human voice other than his own. Ruby was living there alone in order to prove a back-to-nature theory which he had advanced some years before. I next found myself in a large book store in Louisville, Kentucky, and behold ! the two proprietors were G. VV. Palmer and R. C. Cannon. Palmer and Cannon had at first put up a store in Spartanburg, but, finding that it did not pay, they had moved to Iventucky, and were highly pleased with the change. J. O. Castles had been around a few days before, and had sold them a big order of notebooks, writing tablets, and mk. It seemed that Joe was also selling a number of other things, among which were candies, cakes, and protectographs. C. R. Creighton and W. H. Crews, both of whom I met in Spartanburg, were in business together. They had become partners only a short time before. Up to that time Charlie had been a wholesale dealer in cigars, cigarettes, and tobacco, and Bill had been state agent for the Spartan car, one of the best sellers on the market. Finally Creighton had sold out his tobacco business and Crews persuaded him that the best thing for both of them to do ■was to buy out the Spartan car manufacturers. Charlie was well pleased with the change, for now he never had to walk anywhere ; there were always plenty of good cars at his service. Cornell and Princeton were playing the last of a series of basket-ball games, and imagine my surprise when I saw that Princeton ' s coach was R. A. Patterson. Rick had coached his team well, and they easily defeated their opponents. After leaving Wof¥ord, Rick had entered Princeton and was a recognized basket-ball star for four years. The next year he was made coach. He told me that W. H. Dargan was not only one of the best veterinary sur- geons in the country but he was the champion American wrestler. Bill was at that time in training for a wrestling match which would decide whether or not he should have the world ' s championship. H. M. Davis, as T was told, went out West, after graduating, to teach school for a few years, and never did return. Dame Rumor had it, however, that Hen had met the one best girl in the world, and, not desiring to return East, had bought a ranch. He had been very prosperous, and had accumulated much wealth in the cattle-raising business. ■ 57 In Columbia I saw Rembert Pate enter a large building a short distance from where I was standing. I looked at the sign on the window and it was Pate Drug Co., Wholesale Druggists. On the inside I found Toony very busy looking after the filUng of some large orders that he had just received. A tonic which he had patented was much in demand at that time and he was making enough money on it alone to more than pay the expenses of his entire business. H. M. Moody had been in town a few days before. Parson was teaching school in a little village about six miles away, and had become a power in the community. He had been offered several positions that would have paid him more, but he said that somehow money wasn ' t all, and that he would never give up his work there so long as he could do some good for poor struggling humanity. I then found myself in Berlin for the purpose of seeing the Olympic Games. Immediately upon my arrival there I went to the training quarters of the American team, and whom should I find in charge of it but R. T. Fletcher, Wofford ' s old track star? Fletch, formerly the world ' s fastest sprinter, was now teaching others how to develop the qualities necessary to great short-distance men. Just then he was showing some men how to get ofif. He lined them up and with a shrill voice yelled: On your marks! Get set! Then bang! went the gun, and I awoke and realized that it had all been a dream. I had heard the re- port of a gun, all right, but one of the cowboys along with the Wild-West show had done the shooting. That was some dream, all right, said my friend, after I had told him all, but what about your own future? You didn ' t mention it. I don ' t know anything about it, I replied. You see, I forgot to think about it when I was smoking the pipe. J. H. Hoon, Prophet. 58 o Miss Huggins Sponsor Junior Class OFFICERS J. T. HUGGINS President C. E. MORGAN Vice-President J. Q.

How short a time it seems since that Ijright September morning in 191 3 when a hundred and seven frightened, would-be Freshmen crowded into Uncle Gus ' s little office to sign the large register! And yet this seemingly brief space has been a very eventful one for us all. There has been much to occupy us, and we hope that we have taken advantage of all the best which has been offered us. We began our college career right by electing a good aiid capable set of officers. These were: President, T. H. Glenn; Vice-President, J. T. Hug- gins ; Secretary-Treasurer, F. F. Roberts ; Historian, J. F. Herbert. In ath- letics we did well, but the more experienced upper-classmen succeeded in car- rying away the laurels. The Freshmen, however, led by Brunson, Wharton, Whitmire, and Thomason, showed a good fighting spirit, and we had high hopes of success for the following year. We also exhibited ability in oratory, the Fresh Ex. being one of the best. The medal was won by T. H. Glenn. How important we felt in September, 1914, when we reentered school after a long and pleasant vacation! No longer were we Freshmen! We re- joiced that ratdom was a thing of the past and that now at last revenge was near. But amid this rejoicing there was a note of sorrow. About one-third of our former Freshman classmates were absent, and it was with regret that we gave them up. We missed them very much, but with a greater determina- tion than ever we set out to let the Class of ' 17 be heard from on the campus. We elected the following officers: President, J. F. Herbert: Vice-President, F. A. Thompson ; Secretary, T. J. Williamson ; Treasurer, C. E. Morgan : Historian, T. H. Glenn. We accomplished much in all the fields of college work. Our athletes did especialty well. The class furnished six men for the ' varsity football squad and none of the fifteen for the baseball squad. We won the class football championship, after three hard-ought contests, and were second best onlv by a small margin in class baseball and basket-ball. A member of our class, C. E. Morgan, won the tennis trophy and represented Wofford in the State Tourna- ment. 65 On the rostrum we did even better than on the athletic field. Three of the six oratorical speakers were from ' 17, and, though a Senior won, the Sophomores did exceptionally well. The Soph Ex. was even better than our Freshman contest, and showed that ' 17 was 3 ' ' et to be heard from in the field of oratory. The medal was won bv R. B. Burgess. We also furnished two inter-collegiate debaters. With half our college course completed, we joyfully scattered to our homes all over South Carolina. The following September we again assembled to begin the l)etter half of our college training and to make the ' best of it. To a large extent, we have succeeded. We realize that we might have done much better and that we haA e made man} ' mistakes. May we not be guilt} of making the same ones again, however. With thirteen men on the football squad and three regulars on the ' varsity five, we think we have done our part in athletics. As yet, baseball has not been begun, but we bid fair to be well represented. Of the class sports only foot- ball has been played, and, though Ave did not win, the ' 17 spirit was very evi- dent. In tennis we again furnished a man to represent the college in the Inter- collegiate meet. Three of the six Oratorical Contest speakers were elected from our class, and this time one of them was selected bv the judges to represent old Wofford at the State Contest. We all hope that T. H. Glenn will be as successful there as here and thus bring more glory to Wofford and the class of 191 7. Our Junior class officers are: President, J. T. Huggins; Vice-President, C. E. Morgan: Secretary, L. G. Osborne: Treasurer, J. O. Kinard : Historian, C. E. Cauthen. Now with the third chapter of our college history written, we are justly proud of the record we ha ' e made. Ma} we continue to succeed this year, and then co.me back as Seniors and - - ' ■ . , Love old ' 17 and do our part. Learn to sav with all our heart : ■ 17 or bust! ' ' . ■ C. E.

What an ac- c|uisition of dignity, what regal bearing, what a lofty and graceful assumption of the pleasant responsibilities oi omniscience ! How art the lowly risen ! They who had blanched at the ominous frown of upper-classmen had now won the right to impart dread to other and meaner beings, unworthy of the slightest consideration trom any standpoint. Well we made use of that right.- Yea, verily, even so; and naught but true. But even the joys of tyranny wax wearisome, and a tyrant may con- cede at least some taint of merit. And even those dread beings of unparalleled ferocity, whom we had known as Sophomores, have been found to possess at least the elements of humanity. Some among them, we concede, with proper training and restraint might be some day coralled into the bounds of gentility and scholarship. Many classes have seen fit to make claims to intellectual, athletic, and oratorical superiority at this and other institutions, but none with more just- ness than the class of T8 — the pearl of Hterary pursuers, the crown of peda- gogical endeavor. Nor have its members failed to disport themselves skillfully on the dia- mond, the gridiron, or the court. As Freshmen, we distributed gratuitous instruction as to the proper playing of the national pastime, winning the cham- pionship for the Freshman class for the first time in the history of the college. As Sophomores, we have about thrown our hooks into the basket-ball cham- pionship, possessing invincible facility at heaving them through the hoops from each and every posture, one and all poses, not to mention numerous atti- tudes, several situations, and a complete repertoire of positions. 73 The officers of this undoubtedl_v extraordinary body are: S. W. Barber, President; W. Eaddy, Vice-President; J. H. Porter, Secretary and Treasnrer. One matter of serions import is the fact that we have possessed, ever since entering college, over one-half of the men on the honor roll — that is, of those students making an exceedingly high grade on all their studies. When all is said and done, we came here to learn; we are doing it. It is our aim to C ' i -e ])ack to W ' offord College, to such an extent as we are able, the just price of the opportunities it affords us. C.

Freshman Class History the class of 1919, assembled for the first time in the W ' ot ord Chapel on the morning of the fifteenth day of September, 19 15. When we had seated ourselves, we found that we were completely surrounded. As Tennyson would have said : Juniors to the right of us. Sophomores to the left of us. Faculty in front of us, grinned and threatened. And to make our misery still more complete, Doctors Pugh, Rembert, and Clinkscales announced lessons that would strike terror to braver hearts than ours. It did not take us long, however, to realize that w e were college men and that here we were to begin our preparation for the battles of life. The membership of our class almost reached the hundred-mark. Later developments have shown that we were strong in quality as well as quantity. Two months passed slowly by, and then came our first college tests. After the tests some of us felt much better, while others of us felt much worse. Our Christmas Holidays began on the eighteenth of December, and with happy hearts we purchased tickets to our homes. It is needless to say that our days at home passed very quickly and pleasantly, but soon we were again at old Wofi ord with visions of turkey, cranberry sauce, and cake, such as only mother can make. Our first class ofiicers were as follows : Wilson R. Johns, President : Tames C. Dozier, Vice-President: John R. Mi ms, Secretary; Julian D. Wyatt, Historian; James E. Ellis, Treasurer: A. Watson Cords, Assistant Treasurer. The Literary societies elected the following speakers for the Freshman Exhibition: Calhoun Society, Herbert Wren and J. M. Oeland ; Carlisle So- ciety, R. D. Gildstrap and E. S. Johnson ; Preston Society, W. B. Carroll and W. R. Johns. In athletics our class made a very creditable showing, furnishing several men to each of the varsity teams. Our class teams were exceptionally good and showed up well in each game played. 81 We elected the following managers and captains for the different teams : Football — C. R. Boyle, Manager; A. M. Brunson, Jr., Captain; Baseball— P. C. Swink, Manager; Basket-ball— P. C. Swink, Manager; F. G. Hall, Captain. ■ , Among the many pleasant recollections of the past year is the memory of the receptions given in our honor. On these occasions we had the pleasure of meeting many of the fairer sex from the City of Spartanburg and from Converse College. Our Freshman days are over, and soon we will enter upon our Sopho- moric duties. Our coveted goal seems yet a long way of¥, but we rejoice that we have climbed the first round of the ladder successfully. Through the re- maining years of our college course we not only hope to maintain our present record, but to better it. We mount the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies. . ■ , Julian D. Wyatt, Historian. Miss Farmer Miss Bethea Mjss Noule Miss Roper Football Sponsors 85 HEN the opening clay of practice came last fall, on the 15th of Septemher, there was a l)ig- launch of candidates who reported on the field. On account of the failure of Captain R. L. Oshurne to return to college, it was necessary ,to select a new captain, and this honor fell to Hamer, our star centre. Mr. Harvey Hester, a former University of Florida star, and Mr. E. P. Passailaigue, who had done stellar work at the Citadel and Carolina, had l een secured as coaches, and these two went to work immediately to get the team in shape for the opening game of the season, with the Presbvterian College of South Carolina on October I. The time was too short to put in a variety plays, and only straight football was taught. The Presbyterians brought up a fast team to Spartanburg, and one that was well versed in o])en football. Wofford sutTered a vell-night ir- reparable loss in the first few nfinutes of play, when Jimmie Sprott, our star end, had his leg broken. The Terriers drew first blood when a forward pass to Boyle put the ball on the five-yard line and two plunges took it across. Goal was missed. In the second quarter the ball was brought by the visitors to Wofford ' s 87 Burnett thirty-yard line, and on a long forward pass a touchdown was made. Goal was kicked, making the score 7 to 6. Wofford was unable to consistently stop P. C. ' s use of the aerial route, and although the goal line was crossed no more, three times the ball was brought Avithin striking- distance, and each time Galloway, the visitors ' quarterback, booted it through the bars. Our team was unable to score grrm  again, and the game ended with the score 16 to 6, with ■HBk Hj ll Wofford on the small end. |H H| Hh| On October 7 the team journeyed down to Macon and H H stacked up against the heavy Mercer aggregatii m. Defeat bHBB HI was expected b} ' at least three touch- Cauthen downs, but the light Terrier team, out- weighed by ten pounds to the man, played their heavy opponents to a standstill and finally went down in glorious defeat by a score of 13 to 6. The score was a victory for us and was almost a real win, as twice forward passes were dropped by Wofford men on the goal line, either one of which would have been a touchdown. 7 fter a hard week ' s practice the Terriers went up and tackled the strong Davidson team, at Davidson. The day was the hottest one of the entire fall. Playing on a foreign field, the Terriers i)ut up the gamest fight of the season. Only once in the first half was the Red - ' jfSlli Black machine able to cross the ' Wofford line. Goal was kicked and the count at the end of the half was 7 to 0. Da ' idson ])ut in an entire new line-up to start the last half, but these men after an entire quarter accomplished only one indentation of the Wofl:ord goal line and goal was missed, leaving the score at the end of the third period 13 to 0. The entire Terrier team was about worn out, because the few substi- tutes made it impossible to put in many fresh men. The Davidson ' Varsity, who had rested during the third period and was now refreshed, was sent back in to start the last (juarter against the exhausted Old Gold and Black eleven. DeShields It best to draw a veil over that last period. Suffice to say Covington 88 Glenn that the Wofford team did all that human heings could, and, although they were battered back by the resistless charges of the fresh Davidson team and had their goal line crossed five times, it detracts nothing from their credit for the game fight which they put up. An easy victory was expected in our next game with Erskine, in Spartanburg, on October 22, but the Seceeders iDrought up a heavy and well-coached eleven ' , and the Terriers were forced to go to the limit to win by a scant margin of 13 to 3. Our next game was with our old rivals, the Newberry Indians, at Newberry, and a strenuous week ' s work was undergone in prepara- tion for it. The Terriers went down in the enemy ' s home town, and in one of the hardest fought games of the season emerged victorious by a score of 10 to 7. WolTord counted early in the contest, when Osborne loooted a drop kick through the uprights from the twenty- yard line, and made a touchdown a little later wdien a forward pass w as hurled across the line into Moore ' s arm. Goal was kicked. Newd erry made its touchdown, in the third period. This victory wiped out the defeat that w e had sutfered the previous year. On November 4 we met the stal- wart warriors from the University of South Carolina, at the County Fair in Many reports had come of the strength of the Gamecocks, and the best that any Terrier supporter hoped for was to hold them to five or six touchdowns. In the first quarter the Wofford team had a bad attack of stage fright, and went to pieces temporarily. Time and again the heavy Carolina backs crashed their way through the light Wofford line, and this terrific line-plunging, coupled with several long end runs, netted the Gamecocks 21 points. However, when the second quarter started, the Old Gold and Black eleven had pulled itself together, and w ent back at the Carolina team with the old Wofford spirit. Except Kinard Hamer Spartanburg. 89 MiMS f .)r a long ' run at the beginning of the period that crossed the goal line, the ball stayed in the middle of the field. The score at the end of the first half stood 27 to 0. Wofford came Ijack gamely in the second half and rushed the ball d(:) vn to the twenty-yard line from where Osborne missed a drop kick by a narrow margin. In the last of the third period, howe ' er, the Terriers took the ball in the middle of the field and mixing terrific line plunges with three per- fect forward passes, took the ball to within fi ' e yards of the goal line. Four times Mims and Roberts were hurled at the big Gamecock line, and on the fourth and last at- tempt Mims fought his way across to a touchdown. Goal was missed. Candina, after terrific battering, managed to sho ' e another score across in the last (juarter, and the final score was 33 to 6. Captain Hamer at centre played one of the most brilliant games that has ever been seen on a Spartanburg field. His breaking through the line saved his team man}- a precious yard, and he clearly outplayed both of the men used against him. All who saw that last half agree that the score tells only the smallest part of the tale, and that the light VVofiford team played its heavier op- ])(inents to a standstill in the last three quarters and covered itself with glory. The following d iesday a hastily scheduled game was played with the Cumberland University team from Tennessee. The l rriers had not recovered from the effects of the Caro- lina game, and several men were still incapacitated by in- juries from playing. The visitors had a husky aggre- gation and one that was full of fight. The Old Gold and Black defense was impregnable and Cumberland never got within Wofifard ' s forty-yard line. The Terriers were on the ofTensi -e almost the entire game, but lacked die l)unch to carrv the ball across, although many times within striking distance. There was no scoring until the last few Osborne moments of pla} ' when a Cumberland man was thrown be- MOORE 90 Peterson hind the goal line, while trying to run out an intercepted forward pass, for a safety and the game ended with Wofford the victor hy a tally of 2 to 0. The last game of the season was played with Furman in Greenville on Thanksgiving Day. The Terriers wej-e outweighed by twenty-five pounds to the man, and our light line was powerless to stop the plunges of the Furman l acks. The forward passes which the Terriers tried were broken up by illegal interference, and poor officiating allowed much rough play. Furman scored a touchdow n in each cjuarter, but missed all the goals except one. The final score was 25 to 0. Costly fumble spoiled Wotford ' s chances to score. Although the season was not a big success in the num- ])er of games won and lost, yet, under adverse circumstances, the team made a creditable record. Under the leadership of Forty-One Moore, who has been elected captain for next year, and with the new scheme of control (d athletics, we are expecting that next season will be a most successful one. There is not room for a write-up of each man who played on the team this year, but a few words will not be amiss about the men who finish this June and will not be back. Captain Hamer, centre: Slim has occupied the middle-of-the-line job since intercollegiate football was reinstated at Wofford two years ago, and has the distinction of playing in every minute of every game, not having been knocked out once during this time. He has been a tower of strength on the defense and a terror at opening up holes on the ofi ' ense. Many a play has been broken up by his breaking through and getting the man behind the line. In every game this season he clearly outplayed his opponent, and at no time did he find one who could prevent his getting through often. At passing he had no superior, not having a bad pass to his discredit in either season. He stood head Pruitt Roberts 91 Sanders and slioulders above any centre in the State on his record this year, and Wofford snffers an ahiiost irreparable loss in not having him back next year. Covington, halfback: Jake has been our star back- field man for two seasons, and his steady work has been a big factor in oiu success. He combines the qualities of a good line plunger with a speed that made him a dangerous man in running in a broken field. Time after time his sweeping end runs have put Wofford in striking distance, while he also played a strong game on the defense. He will Ije sorely missed and his place wil l be hard to fill. Carter, guard: Perry made the team this year and played a good game at guard. He was powerful enough to smash up most plays directed at his position, and on the offense a hole could generally be found around his guard for the man with the l all. Pruitt, tackle: Pruitt w-as one of the veterans of the team from the previous year, and put up a good game at tackle again this year. He played well on both offense and defense. Sprott, end: Jimmie had just about the hardest luck possible this year. In the opening game of the season he had the misfortune to get his leg iM-oken and was knocked out for the en- tire season. It was a great loss to the team, as he had been one of the stars the year before and was showing up better than ever in practice this yea r. It was a piece of hard luck, not only for him, but more so for the team. Sprott SwiNK 92 Kodak Scenes Senior Football I ' eam J. R. LANGFORD, Cat fain and liiid J. E. THOMPSON Center H. M.

Lankford 104 Basket-Bail Collins HEN the call was issued for candidates for the basket-hall team last winter, there were many out to try their skill at throw- ing baskets. There were only two regu- lars back from the championship team of the year before, but they made up in C[uality what was lacking in quantity., Captain Patterson, All-State Guard, and Collins, All-State Centre, furnished a good nucleus to build a team around. All of the second-string men of the previous year were back also, and some good material was uncovered in the Freshman class. We secured the services of Mr. L. ]. Denning as coach and to his careful work the success of the team may be in large measure ascribed. The first game of the season was played with Furman, on our court, on December 19. The Terriers were thirsting for revenge for the defeat in foot- ball, and went into the game with the intention of making it a slaughter. Dur- ing the first half the weight of the heavy Baptist team offset in some degree the superior speed and passing of Wofford, and the score at the end of the period was only 14 to 10 against them. The Terriers came back, however, to start the second half and, playing with a rush that swept the Furman fi ' e off its feet, went far on into the lead. The Baptists ne -er had a chance to rally, and all the way through the last half the game was a veritable riot. The score at the end of the second half was 50 to 12, with Furman holding the smalled figure. The next game came after the Christmas holidays, when the team went off on the road. The first game of the trip was played with P. C. of S. C. at Clinton on the night of January 10. The Terriers could not seem to get started Harris the first half, and the score at the end of it was 21 to 7 105 against them. Coming back in the second half with a desperate rally, however, that their opponents could not stop, they pulled the count steadily upward. But the time was too short, and when the whistle ended the game the narrow margin of one point still separated the teams. The score of the last half was 21 to 8, and the total 29 to 28. The next night the Newberry Indians were met at Newberry. The game was bitterly fought out from start to finish. The Indians had a slight edge during the first half and finished it leading by a score of 19 to 11. Wof¥ord jjecame stronger as the game progressed and fought hard to tie the score. Their opponents ' lead was too great, how- ever, and although the Terriers had the better of the last half the final score was 32 to 28 against them. The count during the second half was 17 to 13 in Wofford ' s favor. The playing of Patterson and Collins featured the game. On the following night the team tackled the University quintette in Columbia. Many reports had come up of the team that the (iamecocks had this year and of the revenge that they were going to take for the double defeat of last season. Before a large crowd the two teams met in a game that early developed into a battle royal, as the two fives were almost evenly matched and each fought with determination born of desperation. First one team went ahead and then the other, and the score at the end of the first half stood g to g. The second half continued as the first had been, and the interest of the crowd was worked up to fever heat. Caro- lina obtained a slight lead early in this period, but Wofford soon tied it up. There was never a difference of more tlian two points between the teams, and as the last minute of play came around the score was tied up 19 to 19. The play in this last moment was some of the fastest ever seen in Columbia. The Terriers finally brought the ball down toward the Gamecock goal by a series of beautiful passes, and, just before the whistle blew. Turner took a shot from far down the floor and the ball, dropping through the basket, ended one of the hardest fought games of the sea- son and spelled defeat for Carolina by the score of, 21 to 19. • Lankford 106 Patterson We met the Clemson five on our floor on February 5 and won a featureless game from them by a count of 37 to 28. The Terriers were ofi form or the score would have been greater. The guarding of Hines and Patterson was the bright light in a contest devoid of other features. On the following Saturday the Gamecocks came up looking for a victory to make up for the close defeat that they sufl:ered in Columbia. Wofl:ord was in fine form, and, obtaining an early lead, were never headed. ' Both the pass- ing and the goal-shooting were fine, and the score at the end of the first half of the game was 24 to 12, and at the finish 41 to 17, with Carolina on the little end. On February 14 the team went down to Due West and played Erskine. Handicapped by playing on an outdoos court, the Old Gold and Black quintette went down in a close contest by a score of 29 to 26. Presbyterian College came up on the following Wednesday and went down in one of the roughest and most bitterly contested fights of the season. Wofford got a slight lead in the first few minutes, and held it doggedly to the end, in spite of P. C. ' s hardest efforts. The final count was 34 to 26, with the Terriers on top. February 18 was set aside for Erskine ' s slaughter, and the job was well done. Rushing their opponents off their feet with a whirlwind attack at the ■ start, the Terriers kept them on the run, and the count at If M ' ° Turner featured the contest, with « -- 31 of Wofford ' s 61 points. On the 21st of February the Old Gold and Black team went over and tackled the Clemson Tigers in their own lair. The Terriers put up a beautiful exhibition from start to finish, and came out on top by a total of 46 to 23. Furman was played in Greenville on the following day, and in a game featured chiefly by its roughness Wofford again won by a 45-to-24 count. The team returned from the road trip and worked hard to get in trim for the last college game of the season with Newberry here on Friday, February 25. Before the largest crowd of the winter the two teams mixed up in one Turner 107 of the best games of basket-ball ever witnessed m Spartanburg. It was apparent after the first few minutes of play that the game would be a battle royal, as the two quintettes were keyed up to the highest pitch, and each was putting up a superb exhibition of basketball. Wofford had a slight advantage during the first part of the contest, and by superior passing and speed led at the end of this period by a narrow margin of 20 to 16. The Indians came back strong in the last half and pulled up to a tie. The lead seesawed back and forth, and the game became very rough, and this worked against the Ter- riers, on account of their lighter weight. Wofford was leading by a score of 29 to 28, with a bare minute to play, wdien Taylor, Newberry ' s star forward, took a long shot from the middle of the floor and made it, putting the Indians in the leacl. With the count 30 to 29 against them, the Terriers fought des- perately for a goal. Several shots w ere missed by less than the proverbial hair ' s-breadth, but the second before the whistle shrilled Taylor pulled an- other sensati(jnal long shot and sounded the death-knell to Wofford ' s hopes. V moment later the game was over and the Terriers had met their first defeat on their home floor in three years by the heartbreaking tally of 32 to 29. Taken as a whole, the Terrier quintette had a very successful season, even though it did not win the championship. A record was iiiade of wdiich the college may well be proud. Eight games were won and four lost, thus giving Wofford second place in the State. The greatest defeat was by a mar- gin of only three points, this being to Newberry by a score of 32 to 29. There will be several men of this year ' s team back next year, and a fine season is looked forward to. On account of the lack of space, it is impossible to give a write-up of each man on the team, but a word is necessary about the men who will graduate this spring. R. A. Patterson, Captain : Rick. playing his third year of ' varsity ball, made an ideal leader. He was a tower of strength at guard, and few goals were registered by the forwards whom he guarded. He played all over the floor like a miniature whirlwind, and his excellent goal-shooting brought many precious points to his team. His absence will be sorely felt next year. B. C. Lankford, Forward: This boy played a steady game at all times and was one of the team ' s best assets. His speed made him exceedingly difi - cult to keep covered, and his sensational back-handed shots made him much feared. Harris and Gosnell were sul)stitutes wlio put up a good game when called in and filled in most capal)ly when needed. 108 Senior Basket-Bali Team J. W. HARRIS, Jr., Manager C. P.. GOSNELL, Caftain E.

HE work of our Young Men ' s Christian Association this year has been an unusual success. Although this Association has always been a power for good on the campus, of late it has taken on new life and increased its influence among the students. As is well known, the Y. M. C. A. stands for the highest and noblest in the development of a Christian char- acter and deserves the hearty support which it has received. By far the most potent influence for good that came into the life on the campus this year was the special series of services held under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., February 8-14. The leaders were Dr. R. S. Truesdale, of Sumter, and Messrs. E. C. Mercer and Tom Farmer, of New York. A great deal of interest was shown in these services, as was manifested by the fact that the average attendance of the meetings was about 140. 11ie resultant influence of these meetings is still felt on the campus. Among the other out-of-town speakers at the Y. M. C. A. during the year were: Professor N. Gist Gee, a Missionary from China; Dr. R S. Snell, a Medical Missionary from China : Dr. Winfield Scott Hall, of Chicago, and Dr. E. M. Poteat, of Greenville, S. C. The Bible Study Classes were organized at the opening of the session and progressed with unusual interest. The curriculum offered was ; Student Standards of Action, for Freshmen; A Life at Its Best, for Sophomores- Introducing Men to Christ, for Juniors and Seniors. Professor J. A. Game- well taught the Juniors and Seniors, while the classes for Freshmen and Sopho- mores were led by Seniors. At the beginning of the second session, in February. Mission Study Classes supplanted the Bilile Study Classes. The text-books for this term were; South American ProI:)lems, for Freshmen; Students of Asia, for Sophomores; Negro Life in the South and Medical Missions, for Tuni r and Seniors. The total member.ship for the Mission Studv Classes were al out 85, and approximately the same number attended the Bible Studv Classes. Onlv two members of the Association attended the Student Conference at Blue Ridge last summer, but a much larger number is expected to represent Wofford this coming summer. The State Y. M. C. A. Conference was held at Greenville, with Furman, and eighteen men represented our Association. LTnder the Social Service Department of the Y. M. C. A., a Boys Club was organized at Arkwright Mills, with headquarters at El-Bethel Church. About twenty-five boys of the neighborhood joined this club and seemed to derive a great deal of good therefrom. The leaders of the Y. M. C. A. are greatly encouraged at the results of the year ' s work, and feel sure that much greater results can be accomplished next year. Inter-Collegiate Debate Council FACULTY iVIEMBERS D.

Fairey Old Gold and Black Taxation and Needed Reforms in South Carolina VERY civilized and organized community has a great deal of expense attached to the administration of its government. Its officers must be paid, its laws carried out, and its public institutions maintained. Herein is the origin of taxation. The people must be taxed, and some system of taxation must be devised and carried out. There are two principles which should be incorporated in such a system, and, for it to be in any degree a success, one of them must be. The first of these principles is adecjuacy. Sufficient revenue must be raised to defray the current expenses of the government, or it will become more and more deeply involved in debt and will eventually face iDankruptcy and repudi- ation of its obligations. For a limited time it may expend more than it raises as revenue, but the tax rate must be high enough at other times to make up for this deficit. The other of these principles is equity. This is not so often obtained at first, and, in fact, absolute justice and ecjuity in any tax system are impossible. Taxes should be levied according to ability to pay, and, since this ability to pay cannot always be accurately determined, it is not possible to do justice to the taxpayer. It is possible, however, to approximate justice closely, and the system which does this most successfully and at the same time meets the necessary requirement of adec|uacy is the one which we should strive to obtain. Practically every advanced government makes use of two general meth- ods of levying taxes. They tax property and individuals directly, and also place duties upon imports and certain domestic industries. The first method is called the direct method of taxation, and the latter indirect. Direct taxes are paid by the taxpayer directly into the treasury of the government, while the indirect taxes are concealed in the prices he pays for certain articles which he consumes. Though the latter are almost as heavy as the former, they are by no means so keenly felt, and it is possible that if the ordinary tax- payer should be called upon to pay his full quota of taxes directly there would be caused great discontent, amounting almost to revoh. This method is ad- 169 niirable for the purpose for which it is used, but it is not adequate to enable justice to be done to all. These indirect taxes are levied on articles of general use, and though there are taxes on luxuries, by far the greater amount is raised from articles of this kind, and a large part from the actual necessities of life. The man who consumes is the man who pays the most taxes. It is very evident that ability to consume does not keep pace with ability to pay. The rich man who has an income hfty times as great as some poor man cannot consume fifty times as much of the necessities of life as he. There- fore we must have recourse to direct taxes to ecjuaUze the burdens which one must bear. In the United States the Federal Government has reserved to itself the right to buy the most important of the indirect taxes, and has turned over to the separate States most of the subjects of direct taxation. For several years after the Revolutionary War each of the States contributed its share to the central government. The method of appropriating this was so unjust, how- ever, that the plan was abandoned, and since that time we have had separation of State and Federal revenues. This has done away with much bickering and injustice between the several States, and, though the system is not perfect, it is doubtless the best that could be adopted. Some changes couUl be made in the system wdiich would make it more efficient, but the system itself is admirable. The indivitlual States have not all had a happy solution of their diffi- culties. Our own State has had an unequal tax system for years. However, there is a growing demand in South Carolina that the conditions which cause injustice be removed. For a long time we have borne our grievances with but an occasional murmur ; now others are beginning to raise a very audible clamor for a revision of our tax laws, in order that etjuity may be ministered to all. Several of the leading candidates offering for pulilic ofiice in the last election of this State advoca ' ted tax reform. Public opinion is being aroused, the people are becoming acquainted with conditions, and altogether the outlook is hopeful for a better and more equitable system than we now have. Our present system is complicated, difficult to administer, and in many important respects out of date. The expenses of the State government are raised by a uniform tax levy on all property of the State, county by county. This, added to the rate that must be levied for county expenses, makes up the total ' rate which is collected in each county. There are certain other taxes of minor importance which go partly or entirely to the State treasury and are 170 collected by the State treasurer. Among these are license taxes on occupations and business, income taxes, hunting and fishing licenses, etc. ; but by far the greater part of our revenue is raised on gene al property, and m rigid essen- Hals this may be called our plan of raising revenue. The Comptroller General has charge of the administration of this system. Under him, to regulate the assessment and collection of taxes, are the State Board of Assessors and the State Board of Equalization. The State Board of Assessors seek to determine the value of all railroads m the State and the number of miles in each county. They then find the average value per mile of track and make known this valuation to the county auditors, who add to this the value of all real estate, fixtures, etc., in their several counties to make up the total value of railroad property to be assessed by them. Ihe State Board of Equalization undertakes to equalize the value of real estate between the counties. To assess and equalize the value of property m the counties, there are County Boards of Equalization and Township Boards of Assessors. These are the essentials of the administration of our tax- system. The defects of this system are numerous, as to the law itself and as to the method of administration. Injustice is done between the different counties in the raising of general taxes for State purposes. One county may have a higher rate of valuation for property than others. It is impossible for the State Board of Equalization to overcome this difficulty. They cannot arrive at any just valuation of property with which they are unacquainted, and m case the valuation is higher than the average, the taxpayers in this particular county are obviouslv paying more than their proportionate share of State taxes This unequal burden is most likely to fall on those who are least able to bear it, thereby making the injustice greater. A backward, unprogressive county is ' apt to have a high valuation of its property in order that the rate will not have to be so high. The personal property tax is inadequate and a promoter of dishonesty. We may pride ourselves on the integrity of our people, but it is a well-known fact that articles which can be concealed are not returned for taxation. Every taxpayer realizes this, and hesitates or refuses to return such articles in his possession, for him to do so would make his burden heavier than his neigh- bor ' s, who does not return his personal property of this kind. And so the process goes on throughout the State, to the outraging of the public con- science. 171 Another source of dishonesty is the three-mill constitutional school tax. The people feel that this is such an undue rate that they fear to make known the real value of their property, lest their hurdens should become unusually heavy. The Comptroller General of our State has recommended to our gen- eral assembly that this tax be repealed and that such a levy for school purposes be made as conditions demand. This has not yet been done, and the three-mill constitutional school tax remains as one of the great defects of our tax laws. Perhaps one of the greatest sources of injustice is the lack of an adecjuate income tax. At present all incomes above $2,500.00 are taxed at a rate be- ginning at one per centum, which is the maximum rate. All persons whose incomes are below $2,500.00 escape taxation unless they happen to be property owners. Many of those who are included in the terms of the law evade it. The comparative insignificance of the amount of revenue derived from income taxes shows this, and also shows how few of our citizens have taxable in- comes; yet those who have the smallest incomes are bearing the heaviest bur- dens. The limit is set too high. Thousands who own property which affords them incomes far smaller than the taxable limit are bearing heavy burdens, while business and professional men who have large net incomes are practi- cally exempt from taxation. It is very evident that this is not justice or ecjuity, in any sense of the word. Some remedy must be found for this con- dition. Justice suffers much from the administration of our tax laws. The sys- tem lacks that centralization which would enable a uniform and just policy to be carried out in all the counties of the State. Each county has its system which is only partially amenable to the central board of control. The county auditors and treasurers are nominated by the people, and hence are not be- yond the influence of political pressure brought to l ear upon them by the whims of the people. If. in the administration of impartial justice, they tread upon some strong faction, they make themselves a mark for political destruc- tion at the next election. If, on the other hand, they are inefficient or dishon- est they can only be reached by a process of litigation. The State Board of Equalization is always an inefficient body, no matter what the character and ability of the men of whom it is composed. As we have said before, it is im- possible for them to even approximate closely the valuation of property of all counties of the State in such a way as to distribute the burden of taxation evenly. These and other shortcomings of lesser importance call for some changes in the administration of our tax laws.. 172 Since, as we have seen, there are many evils in our present conditions which frustrate equity and justice, the question naturally .arises as to what shall be done to remove them. It is one thing to find fault, but c|viite another to make proper changes which will give the desired results. If we are to believe the reports of State commissioners from many other States, those States, many of them, are facing the sam.e difficulties as we; and only a few have satisfactory conditions. The problem is evidently not an easy one to solve. A tax system for South Carolina, to be satisfactory, must have the two prime requisites of any such system — equity and adequacy. Our revenues must be sufficient to meet our expenses, and they must be raised by a method which will approach absolute justice as closely as possible. These, then, are the principles which we must strive to observe. To obtain them, our laws must suffer some radical changes. We have a system which is adequate ; the problem we must solve is one of obtaining equity. The first and by far the most inclusive change we need is the separation of State and local taxes so far as we find it practical; and completely, if by experience we find it possible. The State should not derive its income trom a general property tax, since it is impossible to tax all sections of the State fairly. As long as we have State and local taxes levied in all the counties, so long will we have inequality between counties. In raising revenues IvK m tnt different counties and attempting to make the rates equitable, the State faces much the same difficulties the Federal government faced in trying to levy taxes upon the several States in the early days after the Revolutionary War, and it is to be hoped she will find as happy a solution of her problems by separation of State and local revenues as did the central government by separating State and federal revenues. The Federal government found it impossible to equal- ize the burdens to be borne by each State, just as the .State finds it impossible to ecjualize the burdens between the counties. By taking over the taxes on certain public-service corporations, such as railroads, navigation companies, telegraph and telephone companies, etc., and on corporate franchises and the revenues, a revised income tax and such other taxes as experience might de- mand, the State could raise sufficient revenues to defray its expenses without recourse to the general property tax; or, if it could not raise all its revenues in this way, it would leave such an insig nificant amount to come from this source that it would still accomplish its purpose. With separation it could have the local divisions of the government to levy and collect such taxes as 173 their own needs justify. Within as smaU a division as a county the tax bur- den could be distributed with a close approximation to absolute justice. Sep- aration of State and local revenues would do away with the chief defects of our present system, namely: inequality between counties. One of our most noted economists, Professor Seligman, says: The problems of taxation in the United States are becoming every year more complex. In order to solve them, we must keep m mind the ultimate goal, and be prepared to take the first step. ' The ultimate goal is the accommodation of fiscal methods to our changed economic conditions. One of the first steps, at least, is the separation of State and local revenues. To do away with the injustice caused Ijy the inadequacy of our present income tax, its scope should be enlarged so that it will include all incomes of $i,ooo or over, and such a rate levied as would prove to be just. This would place some of the iDurdens on thousands who are practically exempt from taxa- tion, contrary to all principles of justice. It would reach thousands of salaried business men who are receiving much larger net incomes than the majority of our poorer and other property-owning citizens who are now paying heavy taxes on their property. It would also reach a large numljer of physicians, lawyers, and the other professional men who are not included in the terms of the present law. It would clearly be a great step toward fairness to revise our law relating to income taxes. The rate should be progressive up to a certain moderate limit. It is evident that the more income a man has the larger the proportional amount he is able to pay as his taxes. Practically eve successful income tax system has the progressive feature. The proceeds of the income tax should go into the State treasury as one of the exclusive State revenues. Another feature which has proved to be entirely fair and quite successful in some svstems is wholly lacking in others. This is an inheritance tax. As its name implies, it is a tax levied on the transfer of property by inheritance. It is completely within the bounds of equity and justice, and is levied m such a way as to be little felt by the taxpayer. It should be progressive in two ways, namely • according to amount, and according to the nearness of relationship between the beneficiary and the deceased. The proceeds from this source should also go to the State treasury, for the number of transfers by inheri- tance in any ' one county is apt to vary too much from year to year to make it a reliable and steady source of income. 174 Since, as we have seen, the tax on personal property which can easily be concealed is universally loaded and is a breeder of dishonesty, that part of the law relating to such articles should be abolished and only such property as can be taxed at its source and is readily discoverable should be included. The revenue lost would be inconsiderable, and there are other means of reaching the owners of such property which are more efficient. That other source of dishonesty, the three-mill constitutional school tax, should be repealed. As it stands, it is only productive of one thing— universal invasion. If property were assessed at its full value, this tax would produce a revenue out of all proportion to our need for educational purposes. There is no reason for this arbitrary rate. The general assembly should be left to make such appropriations as conditions from time to time justify, and the rate assessed should be made to conform to the appropriations. Not less important than the changes in the law itself are some of the changes which should be made in the method of its administration. Our sys- tem should be centralized and made an efficient instrument for carrying out the law with as little friction as possible. More power should be placed in the hands of the Comptroller General. He should have power to appoint county auditors and treasurers without nomination by the people. Such offi- cers are too apt to be swayed by politics to render impartiality certain, so long as they are dependent upon the people for their office. Their duties should be performed with the full freedom of disinterestedness and their position in- sured only by their efficiency and honesty. We might still leave the power of nomination to the people, if the other be too sweeping a change, and give the Comptroller General full power to appoint and remove them from office for inefficiency. County Board of Railroad Assessors should be abolished and in their place we should have one State Tax Commissioner, whose duty it would be to look after all the details of the State tax system. The Comptroller Gen- eral of our State recommends such a change, even under our present system. Lastly, some systematic plan should be adopted for keeping the public moneys. The reports of the Comptroller General contain much complaint concerning this. The details of this matter should be left to the Tax Com- missioner, but, in general, the public funds should be kept in those banks offer- ing the highest rate of interest and at the same time perfect safety. These are some of the most important changes which would doubtless greatly improve our system, if adopted. There are minor changes which should be made in its different details, but these are the essential ones which enlightened public opinion should demand and which our legislators should make for us. John Evans Eubanks, T6. The Undertow ELP! Help! Quick! I am sinking! The cry ended in a gurgle, as the man went under again. What is that, John? • ■ Look, Theron ! A man is drowning . Come! To him — quick ! Oh, just rest easy, old chap! Don ' t get excited. We will get the old gold-bug out cpiick enough. It ' s one of those New Yorkers. A little ducking is good for him, said Theron Prince to his chum, John Allison. Help! Some one! ... Oh ! . . . S-s-swash — slash — slash came the sputter of the drowning man. By George, Theron, if we don ' t hurry there won ' t be any need tr. See, he is going down again! The two boys reached the man just as he went down the third time. They grasped him by the coat collar and turned toward the shore. The breakers broke heavily over them. They pulled with all their strength. They were expert swimmers, having served as a light auxiUary of the life-saving station for several summers, and had had some experience in rescuing drown- ing people. This was the reason why Theron told his friend not to be hasty. Thanks! Thanks to you, gentlemen, said the man weakly, after the hcvs had worked over him for fifteen minutes and had restored him to con- sciousness. I feel, he continued, that I owe all I have to you, gentlemen. Oh, say nothing about it, Theron replied. We are glad that we were able to help you. Yes, I had gone out too far, the man answered, not noticing how strong these undertows were, and I kept on going farther out, until I found my feet dragged from under me. I could not regain use of them ; I was about to strangle — oh, well, you fellows know how it was. Yep, the boys echoed. It ' s dangerous when you aren ' t acquainted with this kind of water. See here, spoke up the man, wdiat are you boys doing here? I mean, what kind of business have you? I am the head of a banking system. Maybe I can help you, if you want a change in your position. 176 Thank you, said Theron, but we have a very good job ar present. We are on the Courier and Herald staff. The editor is a fine man. He gave US a two weeks ' vacation and let our pay go on, and paid us extra for our work that we sent in. AVeh, in case you liave to change your position or need any help, call on me. I feel deeply indebted to both of you. Take the liberty of calling on me at any time. Thank you. We certainly appreciate your kind offer, said Theron. Oh, by the way, exclaimed the man, as he started for the pavilion, what have you boys for to-night — any engagements? A few friends and I are going to have a smoker at the Savoy Club. Be glad to have you. Some other boys will be there. Am very sorry, answered Theron, but John and I have an engagement with some fellows to give a show at the Ridge for the city playgrounds. Well, can ' t you come around to-morrow to my room at the hotel? I would like for you to meet my daughter. suggested the man. I know, he continued, she will be very glad to meet you when I tell her you saved my life. Oh, please forget this little service, said Theron. It was nothing. We would be glad indeed to meet your daughter, but we have been off on a little fishing trip for the past two weeks, and the editor expects us back to- morrow. Hope we will see you again. I regret that you can ' t come. But I want you young men to remember me. If ever you are in trouble, let me be of service to you. I am very much indebted to you. Sorry, Theron, old chap, said the editor, glancing across his desk at the two boys, but the paper is about bankrupt. It took our best to keep your pay going while you were off. I did my best. I wouldn ' t write you, for 1 wanted you boys to have a good time. Y( u have done excellent work for us. As I started to say, the paper is in financial straits, and we will have to let you boys rest a while. Maybe business will pick up a little later, and your places will be open for you then. You know, since the beginning of the war our subscriptions have grown smaller. And, in addition, our expenses have advanced out of sight. What are you going to do, Theron? asked John. Going fishing again? 177 I tell you what, said the editor. I will give you both recommenda- tions. Maybe you can find some temporary employment with one of the New York magazines. They want some good sportsmen to write for them. I think vou boys would be suited for that work. All right, answered Theron. Shucks! exclaimed John, when they reached the street. Nice way to he treated. A nasty position indeed we are in. Who, do you think, is going to hire us for our petty little stories? Think 1 will try some of these old farmers for a job. I am going down to the market to see. I know what I am going to do, replied Theron. Go ahead and get your farm job. Idle boys separated at the public square. Theron had a scheme. John, too, had one. Each when they parted went to see what he could do with his idea. Presently Theron entered the tourist hotel — the finest in Charleston— and went to the clerk ' s ofiice. He presented a card and incjuired whether that man was in the hotel. Let ' s see, said the clerk, as he took the card. John Wade, he read, . 38 West 15th Wall Street, New York City. Is Mr. Wade still here? asked Theron. No, Mr. Prince, answered the clerk. He left this morning on the Coiiiiaii( lif for New ' ork. At least, that daughter of his said so when she had her luggage sent to the wharf. P.y jingoes, Theron, old chap, he has a bean of a girl ! Tall — kind of a blonde type — pretty as a peach. If she would set those blue eves on vnu — she would capture any man with them. AAdiat do you want to see him for, anyway? further inquired the clerk. Have you an interview vith the old financier for the Courier? No. Hang the i aper ! When does the steamer leave? Theron inter- rupted abruptlv. Ten-twentv. Bah! It ' s ten of that now. Bang-! went the office door, as Theron hurried out. Bv Ceore-e. T must catch that steamer! he said, gritting his teeth as he slammed the office door. .Arriving- at the wharf just five minutes of the time the steamer was schedulefl t- leave, he immediatelv rushed down the gang plank to the deck. He then ran up and d(wvn the deck and into the smoker, but nowhere did he see Mr. Wade, 178 All aboard! shouted the captain, as the gang plank was pulled in. Wait! Wait, there. Captain! the boy exclaimed excitedly, rushing madly on the edge of the deck. Stay back, young man! ordered the captain. You are liable to fall overboard, and right there the propeller would carry you under. Yes: but. Captain, I must get off. 1 have no ticket. I did not get on to make the trip. Sorry, young man, but 1 can ' t help you. The boat can ' t stop now. We are under steam. Well, of all the luck this is the limit! said the boy to himself, as he thrust his hands into his pockets and strode down alongside of the rail. It would not be a death crime. The boat crew would not drown him, and maybe he would find Mr. Wade when he reached New York. Anyway, he -said aloud, as he gazed at the receding lighthouse tower, I ' ll make the best of it. As long as I stay aboard the ship, it ' s better than remaining in that old hole of a place, Charleston, without a job. This was the fortieth time he had paced back and forth across the deck. He tried to pretend that he was watching the sharks, but in reality his whole attention was turned on the girl who sat in a big deck chair near the cabin,. She was busy writing. Once or twice he fancied she raised up and glanced his way when he passed by. He felt like he had caught a glimpse of Paradise once when their eyes met just for an instant. They exchanged smiles. Oh, I am sorry! Pray pardon me! What was that — was it a voice — he could scarcely believe his ov ' n ears — was he dreaming — was he seasick? — Oh, my! I have ruined your trousers. That ' s nothing. Didn ' t hurt them, he felt himself answering. Yes, the girl w-as really talking to him. Won ' t you please sit down, she asked, and let me see how bad I have soiled your trousers? This cranky old pen wouldn ' t work, and T shook it. Really, I am very sorry, indeed, I have ruined your nice suit. No, no, he mumbled. It is not hurt. Don ' t be worried. Yes, I can ' t help being worried. And that ' s the only one you have with you, too. How does she know this, he thought — almost strong enough for her to read from the expression on his face. It was all too true, though. 179 Yes, she continued in her sweet voice, I know what an embarrassing position you are in. I saw you when you came aboard and got carried off. Oh, what a vision! Those eyes and that smile! he said to himself, in a half audible tone. Father and I started for New York this morning, but just as we came down to the wharf father received a telegram calling him back immediately to his business. He took the through train instead of the boat — he makes better time. May I ask who your father is? Oh, I forgot we had not been introduced. This pen got me so excited. Why, daddy is John Wade, of the firm of Wade Morgan, Bankers. Is that so? the boy exclaimed. Why, he is the very man I want to see. My name is Theron Prince. Oh! Why, Mr. Prince, I am so glad. Aren ' t you the man who daddy told me saved his life? Please don ' t say anything of it. It wasn ' t anything, answered the boy excitedly. Oh, Mr. Prince, I am so delighted that you came on board! Daddy will be so pleased when he meets us. We missed you at our dinner. I scolded daddy for not bringing you. I regretted very much not being able to go. It was not your father ' s fault. Come, Mr. Prince, let ' s take a walk. He took her by the arm and they promenaded the deck. Heaven and earth seemed to meet — Paradise itself was there, he thought, as they gazed across the blue ocean. Once, while they were standing near the pilot house, her hand touched his unconsciously. In her joy upon seeing the breakers, she had put her hand upon his, and felt it warm with the rush of blood at her touch. Both were embarrassed — both grew pale. Can you — can you afford the time to stop over with daddy and me a few days while you are in New York? she stammered. He did not remember what he answered. He knew he had answered something about having to return immediately. He also remembered her sweet smile and her saying: Not before you stop over with us. On the morning of the second day the Coniia light began picking her way between little crafts and the mighty ocean-going steamers as she entered the New York harbor. ; 180 See, she exclaimed, waving her handkerchief. Yonder is daddy now, standing on the pier. He has recognized our ship. AH off! the captain shouted, just as the ' gang plank was lowered. Immediately the boy found himself in the midst of the girl ' s friends. Elsie, dearie, I am so glad to see you. Meet my friend, Mr. Prince. Daddy, here. You remember Mr. Prince? Why eh — yes. Glad to see you, my boy. Tried to find you before I left. Am very glad you came. Then, turn ing around to his daughter, Let ' s be off, Jeanne dear, he said. Our car is waiting. Into a big Packard limousine climbed the boy, girl, and her father. Up the street they went, Jeanne rattling on all the way to Theron about her friends and the excursion she had just taken. The boy thought he was in the last realm of glory as the car came to a halt in front of a large stone mansion. He followed Jeanne into the parlor. Make yourself comfortable, she said. Then she rang for the footman. See to this gentleman ' s needs. Show him to the east room. The footman bowed in reply to her as she ascended the stairway to her room, and in turning to the guest said : Sir, I ' ll go and have your toilet prepared! He then, in turn, disappeared up the winding stairway. The boy walked around the parlor and inspect ed the hand-carved furni- ture and some paintings on the wall. Within a few minutes the footman en- tered, announcing : Sir, follow me, please. He was ushered into a room, gorgeously fitted, with a bay-window over- looking a prospect of beautiful parks in the distance. He found a dress suit lying, on the dresser, already arranged for him. A valet was busy arranging studs in a shirt. The valet then asked him to allow him to remove his soiled clothes. He protested against putting on the dress suit, but the valet said: These were sent with the orders to dress you. So he yielded, thinking of the dinner and the blue eyes and sweet smiles that awaited him. He found himself seated at dinner a few minutes later. She sat opposite him, presiding over the table. Oh. the thought— if she would preside over uiy table ! Daddy, she spoke up, breaking the silence, aren ' t we very fortunate in running across Mr. Prince? I was so afraid I would not see our hero. 181 Oh, please don ' t call me a hero, ' the boy stammered. 1 am not worthy of the name. Yes, you are. You are the greatest, too. Daddy has told me all about vou. He merely smiled, and let her have her own way. Mr. Prince, Mr. Wade asked, you have come to spend some tmie m New York, haven ' t you? , , , r Well, I don ' t exactly know at present. T wdl probably l e here a tew days You know. I left home rather hurriedly. I have some fine investments made for you, Mr. W ade continued. When I returned home I saw a fine chance to make a couple of mdhon— s ) I bought a few stocks and bonds in a submarine company which has advanced enormously on account of the war. But I can ' t accept this. interrupted the boy. I can never pay you back T don ' t deserve vour good investment. I ' m afraid Tut ' tut ' my bov. Afraid of what? 1 owe you. There is nothing to pav l ack. 1 owe vou my life. Think I will mind such a small mvestment? ' When the dinner was over, thev arose and went into the library. Theron noticed a picture hanging on the wall as he entered, a picture painted of the Isle of Palms beach. He could see the breakers foaming as they rolled on toward the beach. Within a short time Mr. W ade asked to be excused, since he had some important writing to do. Jeanne, he said, as he went through the doorway, you may take Mr. Prince around and entertain him just as you see fit. My chauffeur is idle. Suppose vou go for an auto ride. • v ,e Certainly, daddy. I will show Mr. Prince that we have as nice a city as his own southern cit) ' . . . -.1, ,, They were left alone. They sat fully a minute facing each other without speaking. Miss Wade, spoke up Theron. Oh, call me just Jeanne, she interrupted. e are good friends, you ' ' Teanne, he said, pointing to a picture hanging on the wall, that brings back to me many pleasant memories. ... I did not know how to apprecia e the beauty before, especially of the sea. I always felt the sea held great secrets. What secrets? she asked, leacHng him on. 182 I have often stood and watched those 1)reakers coming in. I would ask iheni if they would bring me a treasure. What kind of a treasure? she, smiling sweetly, inquired. Have you ever heard of the old fisherman ' s boy ' s romance? No. Please tell me. Well, just after the Civil war, there lived along the shore a fisherman ' - son. He was left alone, his father having been killed in the war, and his mother having died from worrying about her lost husband. He loved the sea so well that he always lived by it. The boy grew into a man. His neigh- bors would often gossip about the poor boy being left alone. ' ' Tis a pity, ' one good old fisherman ' s Mandy often said, ' that John, poor bov, has no good woman to take care of him. But he seems to be de- voted to the sea. He should know that the sea would not bring him a wife. He should go among the people, diere is Eleanor Harbor, Edna Blakney and lots of other pretty girls he could get, but he won ' t leave the sea long enough to find a wife. ' But, undaunted, John continued his faithful watch by the sea. ' Some poor critter might be wrecked out there, ' he would answer his inquisitive neighbors, ' and the Lord says for us to throw out the life line, ' he would con- tinue, when they persisted in their argument. And in reply to the questions about finding him a sweetheart he would say, ' My girl wall come some day. I shall make the sea give her up — the sea has told me so. ' Sure enough the sea did. There was a great storm one night. John, as usual, was ready wnth his lantern watching for a distressed ship. Off to the east he sighted the distress signals of a big passenger steamer. As he neared the water, he saw her strike a coral reef and dash herself to pieces. He waded out as far as he could into the sea. The imdertow was very strong. He was almost lifted off his feet by the waves. But on he waded toward an object floating on the crest of a wave. When the wave brought it close to him, he grasped it. Then, w ' ith all his strength, he hurried to the shore. He carried the white form to his cot- tage. Gently he laid it on his cot. By the light of the dim lantern burning on his table he saw a beautiful face — the face of a young girl. He worked over her for hours, dashed out once and called in old Mandy to help him. He breathed his very life into her. He prayed that she might live. Finally, after long, exhaustive work, he saw the pair of eyelids open, and into the sweet, lovely blue eyes he gazed. ' Oh, Mandy! ' he shouted with joy, ' my periwinkle! ' 183 12 To make the story short, he and the girl became devoted very much to each other. Mandy took care of her. One day, after hstening to his sea tales, she smiled sweetly at him and from their little promontory in front of his cottage she pointed to the sea with her little hand. ' And from that deep blue world you saved me— you rescued me? ' ' YeC dear, ' he whispered. T knew you would come. I knew you were my periwinkle. Now, Jeanne, I have often wondered if the sea held a secret for me. Jeanne, I know it has — it told me so the night we were by that pilot house. Yes, I knew it, too. Your sea is kind. I knew you were the man daddy told me of when I saw you rush on the deck. I knew you were our hero-boy. And I think, Jeanne, it was that undertow, he continued, that did this. Yes, she whispered. Won ' t you be my periwinkle, Jeanne? Won ' t you let the sea bring my dreams true ? Yes, she sweetly smiled, looking into his eyes. This is what I wanted you to say. I knew you were my fisherman ' s son — the sea brought you to me. ; . Joseph Bethea Reynolds i6. 184 OFFICERS T. H. GLENN President E. P.. HAMER Vice-President R. H. MOORE Treasurer L. G.

We cast about in much perplexity for leaders, and found several men of lofty lineage, namely, a King, a Prince, and an Earle. According to the time-honored custom we allotted Castles to all, aiming the Garrison with two Cannons and a Hatchet, putting a Bowman and a Thrower in charge. In the Hall of the Castle there were Fairey pictures and iii the treasury were many Nicholls. There were Chicks in the Cockfield eating Pendergrass. Two tall and beautiful Reids grew along the (Eu) banks of the Brooks in which there were many Bass. Life at this time was joyous and beautiful. But soon the King de- veloped a Boyle and became Moody. To add to his Huff he saw Salley in Dun(s)lap. The Best of men can stand no Moore. He attempted to Thrower Lumpkin at her Pate, but was unsuccessful. Cunningham managed to Turner anger, but the King was still Heaton. The Prince Cudd not Hood his intentions, and a revolt followed. The enemies ' Smiths were busy night and day. Crews at- tempted to wade the Brooks where they were Dryer. Furse, the Kinp, wondered Howard Holcome, because he was I3unbar(ed) bv o Medlocks. The King was confident, however, that if he did not appear, Kirkwood. The Earle was in a Brown study how to escape with the King ' s daughter, whether to Cart-er or Walk-er. Tillingha s(t ) four sons. John, Tom, Jack, and Pat. He can aid if we can Palmer off on him (M)alone. This was done and Owens to the Curtis(v) of the Whitesides. Salley escaped safely over the Langford. The war was ended when Bennett a Wharton of ( W )ham brought from Manchester. The Tatum of the besieged being empty, they were forced to capitulate. Then the class was reconciled. Please, kind reader, let ' s (S)wink at all errors. This is the En(loe). 202 2 RAGS RAGS BOARD OF EDITORS A. Bone Head ...Editor-in-Chief I. M.
