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

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

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
