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

GILBERT CARLISLE ADAMS, A.B. JOHN LINDSEY BENNETT, JR., A.B, MCCOLL, S. C. Both wind and tide stay for this gentleman.

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

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
