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

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

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.
