Every one was glad to see us. Friends we found on every hand. And we got a warm reception From the eager Sophomore band. Four short years we ' ve been together Four short years of work and play. And we ' ve grown to know each other More and better every day. For when men are thrown together In close contact every day, They can learn to know each other As they could no other way Friendships we have formed among us, Friendships that are sure to last ; Friendships that will grow but dearer As the fleeting years go past. In these years we ' ve made together Noble records as a class — Records we must make more noble In the days and years that pass. For our history is not finished — It is hardly yet begun ; And the future will bring changes In the laurels we have won. The great world is calling for us. Soon will claim us as its own. And amidst its mighty struggle By our deeds we shall be known. In life ' s battle fight on squarely, Bravely, till the victory ' s won. Let us never lose our courage. Let each deed be nobly done. That which each one does with honor Will bring credit to our class. And we ' ll make our records brighter, Nobler, in the years that pass. And when the shades of death are falling. And our life is in its e ' en, We can still be proud that we were Of the Class of Seventeen. W. C. Rast i : EUGENE MOORE ANDERSON, A. B. ji -j ' TUCAPAU, S. C.

' Whence comes this smiling bunch of enthusiasm? Why, from no other _ place ; than Tucapau. Dinner each day is the occasion of a spirited debate between Forty-one and Andy over the relative size and importance to humanity of the historic town of Cowpens and the incipient village of Tucapau. In athletics Gret- chin was a dark horse until his Senior year, when he came to the front, winning immortal fame in the Turkey day game with Furman. He is easily distinguished from afar by the golden beams from his enormous and much-beloved Block_ W. The nearest thing to perpetual motion of which the Senior Class can boast is Andy ' s mouth. With little aid Andy has successfully edited the Old Gold and Black, and we expect to see him gain great eminence in the field of journahsm. SAMUEL REYNOLDS BAGWELL, A. B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. charge thee, be not thou more grieved than I am. Class Football, 1916-17, and Member of Calhoun Literary Society. Here he is, ladies, peruse this gentle face. Four years ago Sammie entered college. One big, blooming, buzzing mass of con- fusion. But the elements that go to make up a man were buried somewhere in his nature, and after four years of civilization he speaks for himself. Of all the Chemistry stars, he stands out as the most promi- nent. Besides being a scholar he is well known in the art of playing class football, making the famous all-class football team. Samie is a spring of college spirit that never ceases to flow. His pas- time is playing golf on Turners Greens ; he is also strong for the one-a-month law. It is hard for the fairer sex to with- stand the attack of such a charming warrior of Cupid. We predict for Samie one of the brightest futures — a statesman, diplo- mat, and gentleman. JAMES EDENS BARRENTINE, A. B. K A CLIO, S. C. Never over-serious, not too gay, but a rare good fellow. President of Class, 1914-15 ; Freshman Declaimer, College Marshal, Oratorical Speaker , Junior Monthly Orator, Third Censor, and Constitution Revision Com- mittee of Calhoun Literary Society ; Sec- retary of Y. M. C. A. ; Class Football, 1914-15, 1915-16; Class Baseball, 1914-15; Junior Debater; Society Reporter of Old Gold and Black; Exchange Editor of Journal; Assistant Editor - in - Chief of The Bohemian ; Member of Honor Sys- tem, 1915-16, 1916-17; Representative to State Press Association ; President Marl- boro County Club ; Member of College Council; Speaker Local I. P. A. Oratorical Contest ; Member of Press Club. Edens is undoubtedly the student of our class. In addition he is one of ' 17 ' s best orators. In fact, he takes a great interest in all phases of college life. Entering v ith the class of ' 18, and deciding he wanted something better, he joined us in our Junior year, and has quite an enviable record. Those of us who know him best expect great success for Edens in whatever he mav do. LAWRENCE ANDREW BLAIR, A. A S $ BLAIES, S. C. B. His ivords arc bonds, his oaths arc oracles, His love sincere, his thoughts iiniiiacu- latc Member of Calhoun Society. Lawrence, lietter known as Clements or Small, is a friend whom every man may be proud to claim. The best that can be said of any one is that he is sincere and reliable, and he is both. He has won the respect and admiration of the faculty by study and the love of his classmates by his true geniality. Small speaks not often, but when he does, listen ! for there ' s something of worth. . FRANK J. BOSTICK, A. B. PACOLET, S. C. All ' s zi ' cll that ends ivcU. Junior Orator ; Senior Orator of Pres- ton Literary Society: Senior Football Team ; Circulation Manager of Wofford College Journal; Member and President of Carlisle Hall Executive Committee. Here he is, ladies, and he wil stay here as long as you don ' t smile at him ; but if you should, he might try to get on the other side of this page, because he is very bashful. Another characteristic of his is that he delights in singing just before his bed time. He says that this makes him have pleasant dreams. We, however, say that if any one should be asleep near him, when he sings, that they would have any- thing else but a pleasant dream. We do not mean to say that Frank can ' t sing, because he certainly can. Frank is a good- natured fellow, and doesn ' t mind being teased about his bashfulness ; and all who know him like him, and wish and predict for him success in whatever business he takes up. ALEXANDER LAKE BROOKS, A. B. FOUNTAIN INNj S. C. When the stream runneth smoothest the ivater is deepest. Vice-President and Recording Secretary of Preston Literary Society; Secretary and Treasurer of Engineering Club ; Freshman Marshal ; Member of College Honor Sys- tem Committee two years : Member of Panhellenic Council. Here he is, girls ! A ladies ' man to the core, not by virtue of his good looks — with which he is well supplied, but with his winning ways he takes them by storm. Fountain Inn is the source of this heart- smasher. Lake entered the class of ' 16, but having gained so much knowledge at the end of his Sophomore year, he deemed it wise to impart some of it to young America. He entered college again the next vear, falling into the ranks of the Class of ' 17. Lake is one of the leaders in his class. He has made a record that could well be envied by most any student. Lake is a man of high ideals, a trustworthy friend and a good comrade. He is a man of energy and likes to see a thing done, and done well. He will not stop short of the best. We predict for him leadership in any line that he undertakes. GEORGE WILLIAMS BRUNSON, A. B. n K COLUMBIA, S. C. Slow and sure, yet always true. Senior Orator, First Critic Calhoun Lit- erary Society; Class Football Team, three years : Captain, 1913 ; Varsity Baseball Team, 1915; Class Baseball Team, 1914; Assistant Advertising Manager of The Bohemian; Wearer of W. C , 1917. The Senior Class now presents its most lovable creature — carved like the god Apollo in limb and fair as Adonis in face. George is the most notorious heart-smasher that ever breathed free atmosphere. How- ever, despite his heart-crushing propensi- ties, George is a worthy student, also naking quite a record on the baseball field stopping the twirling pill behind the bat. George also takes much interest in the Literary Society. He is very fond of Geology and, after spending much time perusing its dogmas, he now firmly believes in the descent of man. Taken all in all, George richly deserves his dip and leaves a host of friends on the campus. REMBERT BENNETT BURGESS, A. B. ASHBURNj GA. ' 7 had rather love what I can ' t have, than to have what I can ' t love. Sophomore Orator, Junior Orator, Senior Orator, Recording Secretary, First Censor, First Critic, Carlisle Literary Society ; First Alternate Wofford-Furman Debate, 1914- 15 ; Junior Debater ; Historian ; Senior Speaker. Hail! who comes? Behold, the wan- dering lad from Ashburn, Ga. Finding nothing in his native State to fullill his educational desires, he wended his way to Wofford. Parson ' s profound and philo- sophic expressions invariably leave upon those with whom he comes in contact an indelible impression. His ability as a student is clearly manifested in class, causing both professor and classmate to take notice of him when he speaks. One, on hearing him argue the technical points involved in any subject, would naturally be led to the conclusion that his capacity is excellent for adorning the Halls of Congress. But, alas ! his aspirations are higher still — that of Theology. JAMES JOHN BURNETT, Jr., A. B. n K $ SPARTANBURG, S. C. A mail as true as steel. First Censor, Recording Secretary, Third Critic, Monthly Orator, Calhoun Literary Society; Class Basket-Bali, 1914-15, 1915- 16; Captain, 1915-16; President Spartan- burg High-School Club. James, better known as Mikie or J on the campus and in certain parts of the city. Quiet, well, yes, but when he does speak, take heed. He is always ready to serve, and his unlimited kindness has brought him many friends, regardless of his sarcasm. His limits of dissipation - is a cup of weak tea. As to what he will choose for his life-work onl} ' Jim (or He) knows; but at present his chief occupation is endeavoring to find out who put the Hel in Helen. His good nature and sterling character insure for him a bright future. ROBERT ZIMMERMAN CATES, Jr. A. B.. K A SPARTANBURG, S. C. A mail of polite leaniiiig and liberal education. Corresponding Secretary, Junior Monthly Orator, Calhoun Literary Society ; Class Football in 1915; Track Team, 1913-14; Class Basket-Ball and Football, 1913-14. Old Zeke is one of the happy-go-lucky sort of fellows, but declares that he ' s never had anything but hard luck. Fie can be found any time at Bible or playing golf on Gus Turner ' s greens or riding by Converse in his Cadillac. He is a very careful dri -er, never missing anything more than one-sixteenth of an inch. Speak- ing of athletes, he ' s one of the best we have. He can make the hundred-yard dash in ten seconds — if some one is after him. He also tried three years for football. Bob will get there some day, and when he does, we will all be proud to have had him as a classmate at Wofford. CHARLES EDWARD CAUTHEN, A. B. K A ORANGEBURG, S. C. Cheerfulness is the offshoot of Good- ness and Wisdom. First Censor Calhoun Literary Society ; Varsity Football, 1915-16, 1916-17: Varsity Baseball, 1914-15, 1915-16, 1916-17; Class Baseball ; Class Football ; Class Basket- Bail ; Manager Tennis Team; Secretary South Carolina Intercollegiate Tennis Association ; Junior Historian ; Sophomore Marshal ; Member College Council ; Ath- letic Advisory Board ; Block W Club : Y. M. C. A. Cabinet: Y, M. C. A. Editor of Old Gold and Black; President Carlisle Hall Executive Committee ; Managers ' Club ; Presidents ' Club. Charlie is one of those fellows you like the first time you meet. He is a specimen of which both class and school are proud. He is an all-round man, always busy, but not too busy to assist in a worthy cause. He has shown his interest in all phases of college life. He has made his W in both football and baseball and, above all, has made good marks in his classes. Charlie is very practical and possesses a mind that is quick to grasp and solve a problem. His sterling character and strength of purpose insure for him a future crowned with success and happiness. FRANK LeROY CHENAULT, K 2 ANDERSON, S. C. A man ' s a man for a ' that. Third Critic Calhoun Literary Society ; Member of Carlisle Hall Executive Com- mittee, 1914-15 ; Assistant Manager of Varsity Football, 1915-16; Manager of Var- sity Football, 1916-17; Member of Block W Club ; Member Athletic Advisory Board ; Member of Kappa Sigma Frater- nity ; Senior Order of Gnomes. Frank, or better known as Chunk, has been for three years a necessary and im- portant part of the life of the campus. His chief energy has been expended in the forwarding of athletic life. Flis very successful management of football this year, and assistance with the baseball last year, gives evidence of his ability. It is said that he either loves or hates, and cer- tainly there is no two-faceness about him. Chunk is a friend as true as steel, and a man as faithful as a soldier. ROBERT E. LEE COLLINS, A, B., M. A. SPARTANBURG, S. C. ' ' My mind is iiiy kingdom. Third Censor, Member Board of Trust, Vice-President, President Carlisle Literary Society: Secretary Senior Class; Manager Class Basket-Ball two years; Captain Class Basket-Bail, 1914-15 ; Class Football ; Mem- ber Gymnasium Team two years ; Assistant Manager Gymnasium Team ; Member Track Team; Manager Basket-Ball Team (Three Years) ; Varsity Football Team, 1916-17; President Spartanburg County Club; Member Board of Trust of Carlisle Literary Society. No one has ever accused Bob of ex- ceeding any speed limits ; in fact, he generally strolls into the classroom about ten minutes late. However, in spite_ of his slowness Bob is always there with the goods when it comes to athletics. In this particular phase of college activity he has starred, having made his letter in track, football and basket-ball. In the latter sport Bob has been our mainstay at center for three years. For some reason or another Bob has earned the nickname of Moon. Just how he got it we do not know. Some say it was because of his beaming countenance, while others contend it was because he has a peculiar habit of calling on bright, moonlight nights. Any- way, as the name Moon implies, he is un- usually bright, and is going one better than most of us by getting both his A. B. and M. A. degrees in the three years he has been with us. JOHN WOFFORD COOLEY, A. B. LEESVILLE, S. C. Look, zvhat is best, that best I wish in thee; This zvish I Inwe, then ten times happy me. Member Preston Literary Society. To look at him it is almost impossible to believe that three years ago, on a bright September day, he was seen on the cam- pus, a little, green Freshman, in knee trousers. But, behold him, a man ! Wofford has one of the most highly imaginative minds that Wofford College has produced in several years. His thoughts are truly wonderful to listen to, and are_ told with consummate art and the straightest of faces. Notwithstanding the fact that he has a very heavy course this year, he always fincls time to write to his wife (as he calls her). We predict that Cupid ' s influence may be a great factor in deter- mining his future career. We all remember the old story — that love and school duties do not go hand in hand — but he is an ex- ception to the rule. While he has only been a member of this class one year we have found in him an all-round good fellow, a jolly companion, and a true friend to be with. He enjoys the good things of life, especially those found in the dining- room. May his success be as great as his appetite. JOSEPH McTYEIRE DANIEL, A. B. ABBEVILLE, S. C. 0 sleep, it is a gentle thing, Beloved from pole to pole. President, Recording Secretary, First Censor, Junior Monthly Orator, Third Censor, Corresponding Secretary (Two Terms) Preston Literary Society; College Marshal : Member of College Council ; Member of College Honor System Com- mittee ; Manager of Varsity Basket-Ball Team ; Member of Athletic Advisory Board; Assistant Art Editor of The Bohemian, 1914-15 ; Art Editor of The Bohemian, 1916-17; Staff Artist Wofford College Journal, 1916-17 ; Member of Y. M. C. A. Cabinet. You notice we sign Mac as being from the aristocratic city of Abbeville, but really he is one of those cosmopolitan creatures who is doomed by fate to be a Methodist minister ' s son, and so, therefore, he is from South Carolina, speaking with care as regards the truth. His specialties are argifying and Latin. In fact, he could prove that a Ford wouldn ' t run, and as to his Latin, ask Professor Gamewell._ With these characteristics, we can do nothing but prophesy a brilliant future as a lawyer, as such is his ambition. FLETCHER NEWTON DANTZLER, A. B. parler, s. c. His heart has never melted at the con- cord of sweet feminine voices. Member of Preston Literary Society; Class Football, 1915-16 and 1916-17. Fig-Newton, better known as Big-un, hails from Parlef. Perhaps this explains his inordinate desire to get in society. He claims to be the guy who put the dance in Dantzler. While we are not so sure about this, we do know if Big-un tackles life with the same earnestness and persist- ence that he uses on the tennis court he will master any of the problems and per- plexities that may await him. 7 M UGENHOFF OWEN DANTZLER. A. B. PARLER, S. C. A proper man as any one sliall see in a summer ' s day. Member of Preston Literary Society : Student Assistant in the Department of Chemistry, 1915-16 and 1916-17. Maggie is a rare combination of the business man and the student. He is one of the busiest men on the campus. He is a good student and a sturdy friend, and has an especial affinity towards the study of the Sciences. His position as assistant for two years in the Department of Chemis- try is indicative of the esteem in which he is held by the faculty and students alike. His special haunts are the chemical labora- tory and Evins Street. We predict for Maggie a bright future as physician or Chemist, and feel assured that he will some day make Orangeburg County famous. GEORGE LEVI DAVIS, A. B. GIBSON, N. C. IVliy was an independent 7vish E ' er planted in niy mind ' Secretary, Second Critic Debating Club ; First Censor, Second Censor, Keeper of Archive, Sophomore Orator, Senior Orator, Carlisle Literary Society; Class Baseball, 1914-15. A more independent looking man never walked the campus. Levi seems to envelop a world of knowledge. It is impossible to mention any topic upon which he is not (apparently) an authority. He says that Psychology and Mathematics are his favor- ite studies, and what he doesn ' t know about them is considerable. Nobody knows what he expects to do, but we are confident that whatever field of activity he enters — He ' ll be a credit to us all — We ' ll all be proud o ' Levi. ROBERT GILL MILLS DUNOVANT, A. B., K S EDGEFIELD, S. C. On earth there is nothing great but man, In man, there is nothing great but mind. First Censor (Two Terms) ; Second Cen- sor, First Critic, Calhoun Literary Society ; Treasurer Senior Class ; Treasurer Ath- letic Association ; Member Carlisle Hall Executive Committee; Member Ka:ppa Sigma Fraternity. This auburn-haired lad was rescued from the desert-Hke expanse of Edgefield four years ago, not being satisfied with half the alphabet, he wished to add two more letters to his name, so he came to Wofford. Gill is a chemist, and was kind enough to let Dr. Waller assist him in Chemistry and Biology for a year or two. From that you can gather that Gill is a member of the scrub faculty. His favorite formula is : A moonlight night + a good-looking lady = ad infinitum. He is the original smooth silver-tongued love maker. If you want the latest in love-making, it would be well for you to see him. He is the phenomena of the class, for what we can not find out about him would fill many a volume. We would predict for him a bright future in the Pathological Sciences. THERON MONTGOMERY EARLE, A. B. ■ SPARTANBURG, S. C. Tliey that govern most make least noise. ' ' Theron Montgomery Earle, better known as Earle, T. M., and for short, T, ' ' hails from the southern portion of this fair city. T has a fondness for Electricity, Draw- ing, and French. He is also an authority on all makes of Automobiles — especially Buick. Theron is here where it comes to the ladies, especially those in his own neighborhood. Early in his college career he made the gymnasium team, and has been, with his powerful body, bearing the burden of the entire team ever since. But casting these aside, and getting down to facts, Theron is a real man. He is a true friend and a good companion. He is liked by all on the campus. He has a good nature, and will do anything to help some one else. JAMES SMILEY EDWARDS, A. B. GREER, S. C. Give fools their silks, and knaves their zviiie. Senior Monthly Orator Preston Literary Society ; Reporter, Vice-President, and President, Wofford Debating Club ; Vice- President Ministerial Band ; Member Senior Class Football. Girls, can you conceive that he is a ladies ' man? Well, he is one of the most pro- nounced order. Don ' t think, however, that he is a dude, in the popular sense. He simply receives his noblest inspiration from associating with the opposite sex. Smiley is a loyal friend, with all the other sterling- qualities of a Christian gentleman. His two highest ainbitions are, respectively, to get married and to be a Bishop ; and, since Man is man and master of his fate, there is no reason why he may not attain both aims. To be sure, Greer will be proud in the future to claim him as her own. . -■ EDWARD KING GARRISON, A. B. ANDERSON, S, C. Man is mail and master of his destiny. President Ministerial Band, 1916; Mem- ber Intersociety Committee ; Junior Orator, Vice-President, Preston Literary Society ; I. P. A. Speaker, 1916: Intercollegiate Debater, 1915-16; Senior Speaker; Re- porter of Old Gold and Black; Treasurer of Debating Club, 1915; Class Football, 1917. Many years ago there was born in Ed a desire, yea, even a passion, to serve his fellow-man, and to lead him to higher and better things. With this end in view as a mere youth, no one knows how long ago, he entered the Fitting School. Fighting his way step by step against all obstacles he has at last equipped himself for a minister. His greatest pleasure in college has been his activity in literary society work. How well he has succeeded in this line is shown by the character of his honors. His ability as a speaker, the friendliness of his disposition, and high tone of his character make him a valuable addition to the army of Methodist ministers. THOMAS HALL GLENN, A. B., M. A.

M. DuPre I. P. A. Oratorical Medal and Representative State I, P. A. Oratorical Contest; Member of Senior Order of Gnomes. Tom has proved a leader in all walks of college life. In the Y. M. C. A, he is one of the strongest workers; on the football field we find him fighting ' em to the last; and when it comes to speaking — well, Tom ' s right there with the goods. We predict for him a success at anything that he attempts. JAMES SIDNEY GOLDMAN, A. B. LEESVILLE, S. C. Iiitainiiiatis fidget honitribits. Third Censor Preston Literary Society. Snakes of purgatory, if this isn ' t really Doc ! Doc is the greatest whistler of the universe. If you don ' t believe he can whistle, just ask him to try his favorite tune — Home, Sweet Home. Even if Doc can ' t whistle he can do many other things other people can ' t do. He can take nine hours weekly under Dune and get off with it. We all must admit that he is a scholar; he came to Wofford with a determination to be such and as a result he is getting his Dip in his third year. Just look at his charming eyes, his beauti- ful cranium, and one could easily con- jecture that he is a great lover of music. Old Paaluhi himself is _ not in his class when it comes to Hawaiian music. Aside from his various peculiarities, we find those sterling qualities of a true man. Leesville and Wofford are proud of him; for him we predict a great and happy future. VICTOR SIDNEY GOODYEAR, A. B. NICHOLS, S. C. Your znord is as good as the bank, sir. Freshman Declaimer ; Third Censor, Recording Secretary, First Censor, First Critic, Vice-President, Senior Orator, Carhsle Literary Society; Intersociety Debater ; Memljer of Board of Trust two years ; President of Board of Trust, 1916-17, It would be unfair to Vic for us to estimate the fertility of his cortex by the paucity of his Hirsuite growth. Judging from the steady and persistent manner in which he has performed all of his college duties, we can confidently predict that Vic will be Vic -torious in whatever profession he may choose. ,i ' JOHN McSWAIN HARLEE, A. B. FLORENCE, S. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Second Critic, Recording Secretary, Cor- responding Secretary, Third Censor, Car- lisle Literary Society ; College Marshal, 1913-14; Freshman Speaker; Sophomore Speaker ; Intersociety Debater ; Class Foot- ball, 1913-14, 1914-15; Captain Class Foot- ball, 1914-15; Varsity Track, 1914-15; Varsity Football, 1915-16, 1916-17; Class Basket-Bail, 1915-16; Old Gold and Blaek Staff, 1916-17; Member of Panhellenic Council, 1916-17. It is said that John hasn ' t changed a bit since he came to college. No one has been more prompt to take advantage of his opportunities, but we mean that he is the same old reliable John Harlee he was when he arrived here. He has been successful in athletics, scholarship, literary work, and, in fact, he has been a valuable man in many of the college activities. We have learned to depend on him, to take him at his word, and we are sure that he is capable of carrying his share of life ' s burden. JAMES FURMAN HERBERT, A. B. GREENWOOD, S. C.

He is clean in speech, clean in life, of a very aesthetic nature, studious, congenial, companionable, and lovable. He is especially fond of music and takes great delight in oratory. Furman possesses that rare quality, considerateness for the feel- ings of others, never uttering harsh words nor applying unpleasant epithets to any one. His greatest assets are his magnetic personality and his unimpeachable char- acter and integrity. With such qualities, success is certain. CHARLES HENRY, A. B., M. A. SP. ' iiRTANBURG, S. C. Latin I like, Greek I like. But girls, away with them.

Charles entered with the Class of ' 18, but, being brighter than his classmates and de- siring a better one, entered our class. Charlie has made for himself a reputa- tion as a speaker and debater. His greatest delight was to argue with Dunk, who, according to Charlie, always ap- pointed himself winner. During his three years here no lady has been shown the least attention by him. Every one agrees that some day Charlie will make his mark as a jurist, or in whatever walk of life he pursues. WILLIAM EARLE HINES, A. B. SPARTANBURG, S. C.

Bill! Everybody knows ' B. He is a scholar by instinct and is one of the truest sons of VVofiford. Not only that, for he has always taken an active interest in athletics. Wofford has never put out a better basket-ball team than while Bill was captain. By his cool reasoning and mere will and grit, he has won a warm place in the hearts of both students and faculty. His one great weakness is his affection for the fair sex. For it is a common saying on the campus, ' ' Nobody else has a look-in while ' Bill ' is around. JOHN THOMAS HUGGINS, A. B. n K $ NICHOLS, S.

Don ' t be at all afraid, ladies, for there is not so much in a name after all, at least in this case, for the author of this can give no evidence (from his personal experi- ence), of Jack having ever lived up to his surname. Jack ' s long suits are in his business ability and his popularity ; as to the first, why, even the name of his na- tive city has a financial trend; and, for the latter, just look at those honors listed above. Being not a clairvoyant, or even a prog- nosticator, we won ' t say which path of life he will travel ; but we will say that he ' ll do it in fine fashion. RUSSELL ARCHIE HUGHES, A. B. UNION, S. C. , To kitoiv him is to love liiiit. First Critic, Junior Weekly Orator of Carlisle Literary Society • Second Critic of the Debating Club. Archie came to Wofford from Union, S. C, and completes four years of success- ful work here. Next year we will cer- tainly miss his smile and his help in our studies. He is always willing to help us in any way that he can. We fear that we have imposed on him sometimes, but he is so kind that we go to him first, when we have difficulties of any kind. His kindness and cheerfulness will win friends for him wherever he goes. He will be a Methodist minister some day, and his personal touch will certainly make men, women, and children do their best. There is no use for us to wish that he will have success in his calling, because we know that he will. We will say again, To know him is to love him. JOHN QUINCY KINARD, A. B., K S NINETY SIX, S.

Who is this large, lordly man approach- ing in the distance? He is none other than Chick Kinard, one of the few all-round men we meet. Chick is always ready for fun, intensely interested in college activities, and has a good record in his studies. The sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct which he has shown on the athletic field and campus will in time make his class- mates proud that he was one of their number. We can but prophesy for him a successful career in whatever calling of life he chooses. HENRY BENKET KINARD, A. B., K S NINETY SIX, S. C. Still runs flic zvaicr ivhere the brook is deep.

Well, boys, here is a chip from the old block. Ben comes to us from the historical town of Ninety Six, from whence so many worthy students have sprung. Just about class time a figure is seen sauntering leisurely along the campus to the building with a southwestern dip of the head at an angle of about forty-five degrees. Indeed, this is Ben. He is either soliloquizing or solving some mathe- matical problem. His room is the ever- welcome retreat for unfortunate math students. And Ben never fails them with his untiring efforts. The young ladies all say Ben is good looking. Bvit, ah, girls, he has thoughts of his own, never to be caught within the entangling nets of flattering femininity. After all, Ben is a very worthy student and leaves a splendid record, and a host of good friends. SAMUEL EUGENE LEDBETTER, A. B. SPARTANBURG, S.

Yes, Sam is truly a man. His record in the classroom makes true his mental claim to manhood. His gentlemanly and Christian deportment among his fellow- students on the campus for four years_ has well shown him to be a man of moral fiber. .A.n able speaker and debater he has shown both in classroom and on the literary society floor that he is a man of conviction, able and efficient. Above all we admire in him one who has as his highest ambition the unselfish service of his fellow-men. Incidentally, he is missing almost every night from dark until eleven o ' clock, and we fear that Cupid alone can inform us of his whereabouts, for his arrows seem to strike the best of us sometimes. We predict for Sam a bright and useful future in his chosen field of labor, the Christian ministry. WILLIAM PINKNEY LIGON, A. B. K A SPARTANBURG, S. C. Signs of nobleness, like stars, shall shine on all dcservers. Vice-President and President Calhoun Literary Society; President of the Council of Fraternal and Social Organizations ; Member of Block W Club; Member of College Council ; Member of Presidents ' Club ; Member of Athletic Advisory Board ; Secretary, Treasurer, and Presi- dent of Terpsichorean Club ; Manager of Baseball Team ; Senior Speaker ; Presiding Officer Oratorical Contest ; Member Senior Order of Gnomes. Pink, as he is known by the students, has from the beginning of his college life been an important factor both in the class- room and on the campus. His pleasant smile and optimistic attitude have won him much admiration not only with the stu- dents, but with the faculty also. His managerial ability was most highly appre- ciated in the masterful way he guided and directed the affairs of the baseball team. The success in this phase of the college activity can deservedly be attributed to his thorough executive ability. WALTER LOUIS McMILLAN, A. B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. Love books not zvitli the eyc_, but ivith the mind. Member Carlisle Literary Society; Treas- urer of Spartanburg County Club ; Class Football two years; Class Basket-Bail three years ; Member of Gymnasium Team three years ; Member of Midnight Raiders ' Club ; Honorary Member of Bobo Cottage. Little Mac, the conventional way of addressing this most interesting little fel- low, is very popularly known not only on our campus, but at Converse also. It is rumored that his frequent visits bespeak very early matrimonial relations. Walter has distinguished himself very much by the thorough and efficient way in wdiich he per- forms his duties, and men of his type most surely are rewarded in the business world. I- LEON MOORE, A. B. DUNCAN, S. C. His vcars but voiiiui, but his experience old. Denizen Bobo Cottage ; President Bobo Crew; Vice-President Spartanburg County Club two years; Class Football two years; Second Critic Preston Literary Society. . Leon started at Wofford, then went to Carolina a year, escaped and came back to us for two more years. His independent, frank, generous nature has made him very popular, without the slightest effort on his part. Loyalty to Old Wofford is one of his characteristics ; some say because that institution happens to be connected with Bobo Cottage. False impressions on stu- dents and especially faculty are shunned by this young man with the greatest of emphasis. We all like Moore, and the longer we know him the better we like him. RICHTER HERMAN MOORE, A. B. n K COWPENS, S. C. And the elements so mixed in hint that Nature might say, ' This zvas a man!

Alumni ; Class Baseball two years, Captain, 1914-15 ; Class and Interclass Football, 1913-14; Varsity Baseball three years; Varsity Football three years, Captain, 1916-17. As you behold, this student of the man- ly arts, you will probably think he came from some great city in Greenville County ; but, no, he comes from the bovine city of Cowpens. When it comes to baseball, he ' s very, very good ; but in football he ' s a holy terror. Just ask Furman. And now for the benediction ; we think Captain Forty is going to take a Ph. D. in French ; but no matter what he does, they are sure to wish for about forty more like him. CARL EUGENE MORGAN, A. B., K S CENTRAL, S. C. Th ' iiiiportaut business of your life is love.

C. Intercollegi- ate Tennis Association ; Three Years Representative to State Intercollegiate Tournament ; Two Years Winner Marshall Moore Tennis Trophy Cup. Carl agrees with Addison that one should take care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure in life as laughter. You need only to be in his presence to be in the best of spirits yourself. But Carl has also his share, or more, of wisdom. In the literary society, on the athletic field, and among the fairer sex, as well as in the classroom, Carl has always taken the lead . In tennis Carl stars, winning the Marshall Moore cup two years and three years representing us in the state meet. A more loyal friend we have never known. JOHN COAN NESBITT, A, B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. God made him, and therefore let him pass for a man. Member of Calhoun Literary Society. If any one visits the chemical or bio- logical laboratories at Wofford they will be sure to find John there working at some equation or dissecting a frog. He works laboriously along these lines, and we predict that in due course of time he will startle the world with some new discovery. You can readily understand that his long hair is exactly in keeping with the custom of all geniuses. He is very slow in his characteristic way of performing his duties, but when the occasion arrives he will be found prepared. LEWIS GATLLARD OSBORNE, A. B. K S ANDERSON, S. C. aui a mail more siiiii ' d against than sinning. ' ' First Censor, Second Censor, Calhoun Literary Society ; Secretary of Class, 1915- 16; Carlisle Hall Executive Com- mittee, 1914-15; Coach Class Football, 1914-15, 1915-16; Manager of Class Foot- ball, 1914-15; Coach Freshman Football, 1916- 17; Class Baseball, 1914-15; Varsity Baseball, 1914-15 and 1915-16; Varsity Football for three years ; Assistant Captain Football, 1916-17; Senior Member Athletic Advisory Board ; Member of Block W Club; Secretary and President of Block W Club; Captain-elect Football, 1917- 18 ; Terpsichorean Club ; Member Inter- fraternity Council ; Assistant Captain Base- ball, 1916-17; Class Basket-Bail two years. Lewis, but widely known as Plug, has achieved success in every phase of college activity, especially athletics. He has par- ticipated in both football and baseball, and the success of these various teams in the past three years may be attributed to his efforts more tha n to any other individual. His pleasant manner and untiring scholastic efforts have endeared him in the hearts of the students and to the admiration of the faculty. The time of his Senior year has been divided between the campuses of WofTord and Converse, and it is impossible to say at which place he has achieved the greatest success. WILLIAM CARLISLE RAST, A. B. SWANSEA, S. C. Smile and the ivorld smiles zvith yon. Second Censor, Second Critic, Senior Monthly Orator, Carlisle Literary Society; Class Basket-Bail, 1916; Winner Carhsle Society Essay Medal, 1915; Class Poet; Assistant Ed ' itor-in-Chief Old Gold and Black; Representative State Press Asso- ciation. Modest of speech and manner and of un- blemished character, Carl is an easy favorite. The great mystery is, How has he stood at the head of his class and yet performed his regular duties of visiting a certain institution of learning not far distant from here, not to mention the many and sundry letters, epistles, notes, and messages which he is constantly troubled with reading? We hope that after June he will get over his one besetting sin, that of training his pampadour. But, after all, Carl is a genuinely good student, and a poet who bids fair to rival Poe, provided he can forget the source of his inspiration in the inspiration itself. ROBERT HERIOT REMBERT, A. B. SUMTER, S. C, Now, when he ' s good he ' s very, very good, But when he ' s bad he ' s awful. Third Censor, First Critic, Senior Monthly Orator, Preston Literary Society; Member Carlisle Hall Executive Com- mittee; Secretary and Treasurer of Radio Club ; Business Manager of W afford Col- lege Journal; Winner of the O. W. Leonard Chemistry Medal. ' ' He-Are was fished out of a Sumter swamp early in the fall of ' 13. This Utopian burg is a land flowing with ladies and paved streets to hear him describe it, and has only one hill, about which he eternally boasts. However, after three years ' association with civilized beings, some of the moss has been rubbed off, and he ' bids fair to make Terpsichore, some day, look like a one-legged man with the rheumatism. Now, speaking seriously, this strange compound of ethical and moral ingredients is an all-round good pal, and his cheerful grin under all circumstances is a boon to us all. H in his future life, he shows the same qualities of stickability and fidelity that he has on our campus, New Jerusalem will some day be proud to own him as one of her sons. FRANKLIN FAYSOUX ROBERTS, A. B. MULLINS, S. C. Methinks, I could deal kingdoms to my friends, And ne ' er be weary.

Here is Bob, the president of the noted Hell Alley association. He is the leader of this aggregation in everything from keeping order among the Freshmen to that form of conversation for which philo- sophical debate is an inphormistic term. Whenever any commotion breaks loose in the region over which he reigns one may hear above all other sounds the deep bass ton of Bob ' s melodious voice calling his subjects to order. Bob is especially popular among the ladies, and this is hard to explain because of his great indifferente. Bob has always been a hard worker, succeeding in everything he undertakes. He is loyal to the college and every one of its organizations. He is a true friend and will do anything to accommodate anybody on the campus. SAMUEL RALPH SHIEDER, A. B. ST. GEORGE, S.

By means of his thorough preparation at Carlisle Fitting School, Ralph skipped the Freshman Class and entered as a Soph o- more in ' 14. Ralph is very, very popular among the faculty and students. He has also won a place in the hearts of the fairer sex. He is a very diligent student and a loyal member of his society. He made a tour of the state with our Glee Club and has developed into a marvelous singer. We wish for him the greatest success in whatever line of Inisiness he may enter. WILLLAM MARTIN SHERIDAN, A. B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. Modesty seldom resides in a breast that is not enriched zvitli nobler I ' lrtiics. ' ' Treasurer, Senior Orator, Carlisle Liter- ary Society ; Member of Wofford College Council. William, better known as Bill, is one of the great scientists of our class. Throughout his college career he has taken an extraordinary amount of chemistry, biology, etc. Any time during the day, when not in the lecture room, Bill could be found at his desk in the laboratory dissecting a frog or some insect, or faith- fully performing some experiment in chemistry. Besides his scientific turn of mind, Bill also possesses keen business acumen, having already attained some degree of success as a salesman. With the combination of this good business judg- ment and the medical education which he intends to receive, we predict that he will h ' cwe great success in disposing of his pills and panaceas. GEORGE EDWIN SIMMONS, A. B. n K SPARTANBURG, S. C. The words of his mouth are as deep waters. Corresponding Secretary, Second Critic, Second Censor, Vice-President, Carlisle Literary Society ; Intersociety Committee ; Intersociety Debater; Assistant Business Manager, Editor-in-Chief Wofford College Journal; Winner of Sophomore-Freshman Story Medal ; President of Senior Class ; Member of Senior Order of Gnomes ; President of College Honor Council. Hear ye the parable of the (per) Simmons — green in spring and ripening under the autumn sun. So with our friend George, who was in his Freshman year (accord- ing to Dr. Snyder ) so areen that he didn ' t know what even sidewalks were for ; but look on him now, ripened into a man, and one of the best of his class at that — after the faculty-and-four-year process. We must hand it to George for being the busiest and hardest-working man m col- lege. He is, however, anything from a preacher to a soldier ; being, in fact, the champion Epworth League speaker of the Piedmont, and, at the same time, a mem- ber of the celebrated Spartanburg Coast Artillery. DENNY ALEXANDER SNOW, A. B. REIDVILLE, S. C. am so much of a utilitarian that I prefer the useful to the useless. Member of the Preston Literary Society. Denny first emigrated from the pros- perous town of Reidville. There he had the honor of living on Main Street, which was then more prominent than the other three streets of the town. His name was originally two yards long and of Welsh derivation, but it has recently been trans- lated and considerably abridged as you can see. Snow is not at all cold-natured, even if his name does so indicate. Denny ' s hobby is modern languages. He is only one out of a thousand who can pronounce the German word Ich corectly. In fact, he has taken so much German and French that he is beginning to favor Dr. Chiles. LOUIS BALLINGER STABLER, A. B. NORTH, S. C. Quiet and study, flavored with a smile, Were his ideals all the zvhile. First Censor, Treasurer, Meml)er of Membership Committee, 1916-17, Preston Literary Society ; Member of Wofford Council, 1915-16; Literary Editor of Bohemian, 1916-17. Here he is boys! Some good has at last come out of the North. However hard this may seem, Louis is one of the best all-round men in his class. He is a dili- gent student, a faithful society worker, and a friend true to the core. He always meets you with a cheerful smile, which is the out- ward sign of a happy heart and a generous good nature. With these irresistible qualities he is sure to make friends wherever he may go. Louis is a man of high ideals, and dreams of great things : not by any means the least among these is the vision of a beautiful little bungalow to which we predict he will go before many years. Watch him, fellows some day he will make North famous. MARSHALL CHRISTL-VN STONE, A. B., K A SPARTANBURG, S. C. To say little and perform much shozvs the characteristics of a f rcat mind. College Marshal, 1915-16; Calhoun Liter- ary Society; Class Basket-Bail, 1915-16. Marshall Christian Stone, but better known to his classmates as Pebbles, and to his lady friends as God bless you. Pebbles has had his share of the pleasures of this world, but with it all the faculty have chalked up by his name their individual marks for a pass. To hear Pebbles tell it he has already framed his Dip. Here ' s hoping! It would be slighting to those who do not know him, as well as his classmates, not to mention his great success as a Terpsichorean artist. When in doubt call his headquarters. Converse or Rock Cliff, the latter place where he diligently practices the Terpsich- orean art. His ability in this art, as ex- pressed by the girls, is that it is a chunk of heaven to dance with Pebbles. WILLIAM KENNETH SUGGS, A. B. LORIS, S. C. What care I for words?

Suggs comes to us from Loris, S. C, a land which is famous for its building sand and its Irish potatoes. By George ! there ' s a field down there 100,000 acres in area, all planted in ' T , but we had better quit right here. W. K. is one of the most conscientious members of our class, in fact he is quite noted for the earnest and energetic manner in which he goes at any- thing — debating, athletics ; and in almost any phase Of college life he is right on the job.

Billiken, a typical product of the Spartan City. He is a man of great intellectual attainments and one of the lirightest members of the class. He can play football and other athletic g ames, but -Billiken shines when it comes to the line of music. As a violinist he is hard to excel. By his willingness to play and the joy he puts into his music, he will always be remembered as a true friend by every member of his class. We can always count on him, for at the opportune moment Billiken comes up and delivers the goods. HENRY GRADY TURNER, A. B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. He adorns all that lie touches. First Critic, First Censor, Senior Monthly Orator, Preston Literary Society: Class Basket-Bali, 1914-15: Varsity Basket- Bali, 1914-15, 1915-16, 1916-17: Junior Class P.asket-Ball Coach: Member Block W Clul) two years. Ah ! who hails us here ? It is our suburban sport, Grady Turner. When it comes to basket-ball there ' s none to equal him. His hands attract the ball as if they were magnets, then by some secret power he thrusts the ball in the basket from any angle or distance. This is not his only attraction ; his practice in basket-ball not only makes him alert, but also develops his light, fantastic toe. Grady is a regular ladies ' man. No one can tell you which is the most regular, he or the four-o ' clock bell at Converse on Saturday afternoon. Just ask him to locate Meridian, Miss., and see how well he is posted on geography. Turner is one of our good students and we are very proud of him. Whatever he undertakes he ahvays does well, and here ' s our wish: Success and joy be with you where ' er you are !

Calhoun Literary Society.; Terpsich- orean Club ; Class Football, 1914-15 ; Var- sity Track Team, 1914-15. Here he is boys ! — the Count of Hel- lams Chateau. Count hails from the fruitful town of Orangeburg. No one would call him flirtatious who gazes on his serious visage, but wolves often hide in sheep ' s clothing. The ladies know him better than we. But aside from his heart- crushing propensities, Count is a worthy student and very conscientious to duty. Many a nine-o ' clock class has he attended, when he fain would be resting in the peace- ful arms of Morpheus. Judging from his distinguished carriage, he well deserves his title of nobility. Although some would call him No Count, he disdains the jest. So we call him just Count for short. However, in his business dealings, he is better known as Discount, or some other money-making title. Count has many friends on the campus, and we predict for him a bright future. We will not be sur- prised, however, in a few years to hear of Count ' s settling down in a cute little bungalow, with a sweet little wife, and a nice big ready-made bank-roll.

When one first looked at this crude product it was a rather hard matter to size him up; but, when once he was seen on the athletic field in his baseball uniform, the problem was easily solved. Jake was a baseball star from ' the beginning, and later became captain of his team. When Jake leaves the athletic world and enters into the realms of the fairer sex, he shines more brilliantly. One may truthfully say that wheresoever he goeth he prospers. GEORGE IRVAN WHETSELL, A. B. BOV ' MAN, S. C. The fain of one maiden ' s refusal is drozviied in the pain of the next. Class Football ; Class Basket-Bail ; Secretary, First Critic, Vice-President, Preston Literary Society. Whether George has learned all he might while at Wofford we do not know, but we do know that he has learned how to swim. He took his lessons at the City Y. M. C. A. ; besides specializing in the acjuatic arts, he also became very proficient in French ; still, in spite of these shortcomings, he may yet become a member of that House which wore the Red Rose in the days of old. _We wish for him much success as chemistry instructor in years to come.

Among the fairer sex especially did Red win popularity, and even unto this day he retains his ppsi- ' tion in the society circles. Despite all this. . however, he leaves behind an enviable record, and the entire campus will miss - his jovial disposition. HARLAN WOOD, A. B. SPARTANBURG, S. C. Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all. Second Critic Calhoun Literary Society ; Intersociety Debater ; Member of the Inter- society Committee ; Freshman Speaker ; Class Baseball ; Class Football two years ; Varsity Baseball ; Member of Wofford College Council ; Class Prophet ; Senior Speaker. The Senior Class would not be complete without such a man as Harlan. Fie often speaks forth of what he knows and, indeed, it seems that in that somewhat meagre body there is a fountain of knowledge which cannot be exhausted. Harlan ' s chief ability is his power as a speaker, but he is an all- round college man, interes,ted in every phase of college life. JOHN WOODS, A. B., K S CHESTER, S. C. OJi, wad some pozver the giftie gie us Tae see oitrscl ' s as ithcrs see us. Member Calhoun Literary Society ; Mem- ber Gymnasium Team. John hails from Chester. He recognized the superiority of our class and easily joined us in our Sophomore year. This decision of his is the only wise thing he has ever done, for he has refused to ever attempt anything more. Though John has never had the high honor of being a Fresh- man, he has made up for it by assuming the air of a Freshman during his entire college career. To look upon his counte- nance you ' d never dream that he is one of Wofford ' s alumni ; not that he is but what he assumes to be — a quiet, harmless Fresh- man — but appearances are deceiving, for if you will penetrate his good looks, which is but skin-deep, and look deeper, you will see that he is no Freshman at heart, which never fails him in the presence of the fairer sex, and whose presence seldom fails to transform him, like a flame from ashes, from this seeming quiet and harmless Freshman to a veteran lady killer. But, excepting his dangerousness inspired by such environments, he is at heart a jolly, good, moral fellow, and can not but make a success in the unknown future. MOTTIE JUNIUS YARBOI OUGH, A. B. S. LUDA, S. C. His time is too . precious, liis system of study too mctliodical, to squander one moment. Monthly Orator, Second Critic, First Censor Carlisle Literary Society; Vice- President and President of Debating Club. A true friend you will find Mottie to be if only you will give him an opportunity to express his friendship. We who know him best love him most. He may seem to some a little reserved, but we who know him intimately realize that this is only a spark of timidity which is rapidly wearing away. One of his hobbies is going to bed at ten o ' clock, but this, in him, is a virtue and not a vice, for hy the time the cock crows you will find Motte stirring the coals. He is full of wit and humor, but, unlike many others, he knows just when to express them. His only fault is taking too much time in getting to do a thing, yet he knows just when to begin in order to be on time every time. After all has been said, we find him as true as steel, and know that Saluda feels complimented on having him as a citizen. LEON T. YEARGEN, A. B. GRAY COURT, S. C. All iiiaiikiiid loi ' cs a lover. Member Preston Literary Society. For three years and a half Yearg was a memljer of the Class of ' 16; but, realizing the merits of the Class of ' 17, he decided to wait over and finish with us, joining our class about the middle of our Senior year. During his college career Yearg has specialized on the ladies. He divides his time between the Converse parlors and the homes of the town girls. It is said that when Yearg entered ' Wofford he was a very green and unsophisticated lad in knickerbocker trousers. However, after three years of contact with Ram and_ the ladies, he is now presented upon life ' s great stage as one of our most polished fellow-classmen. ROBERT CLINTON ZIMMERMAN A. B. DUNCAN, S. C. To live laiig, it is necessary to live slozvly. Meml er of the Preston Literary Society. Duncan, S. C, claims the honor of being the birthplace of this distinguished student. When he first came to college Zim was rather wild and reckless, but four years ' association with Leon Moore has had an uplifting effect and Zim is now one of our model scholars. Preacher seldom comes to Latin less than ten or fifteen minutes late, and a large part of each recitation is taken up with his philosophical discussions with Prof. Gus. Zim could never get to society on Saturday nights because of his habit of visiting regularly a certain fair damsel in the town of Greer. With all ladies he invariably makes a hit. What this is due to we are at a loss to determine, for it certainly isn ' t his looks — no one would call him good looking. Despite this distraction of con- stant attention to the ladies his college career has been a success, and we all expect to hear from him some day either as a noted theologian or an expert pool shot. 3tt JWemortam GEORGE WHITMAN GRAHAM BORN MARCH 29, 1898 DIED MARCH 4, 1914 N many respects the college -campus is a world in miniature. In it ve have presented to our view man in all of his social relationships and engaged in the ' arious human activities. The great stream of life l ows on, unnoticed hy us in our little secjuestered nook, so engrossed are we with our own liopes, ambitions, and aspirations. We hope that four years of such instruction and experience has to some extent prepared the Class of 1917 to meet the obligations awaiting us in the big, untried world. As we review the events of the past, it is difficult to realize that our journey is done, the victory won. The harshness of circumstances, or the cruelty (jf fate, or a lack of tenacity of purpose has robbed us of many of our original band. And we, the toil-worn and battle-scarred remnant, are afflicted with a variety of con- flicting emotions. We had antici])ated that ours would be an unmixed pleasure on this eventful day, but as we stand at attention t .) receive the guerdon of our labors, a feeling of sadness comes to alloy our bliss as we are reminded that we must bid farewell to old familiar haunts, friends, and co- laborers. ' On September 17, 1913, w-e came 117 strong, trooping in from the woods and meadows forced hither by fond mothers and doting fathers to see the advantages afforded us by Old Wofford. Rustic and verdant, we thronged the campus, painfully conscious targets of the gaze of all upper-classmen. To our inexperienced eyes the main building seemed a veritable labyrinth, and our confusion was only worse confounded by the misleading directions of the older students, and many of us found ourselves in the gymnasium when we should have been answering the roll-call in Dr. Rembert ' s Bible class. Strange to say, the warm welcome given us by the Sophomores failed to make us feel at home. Freshmen, like all other human beings, are imitative by nature, and so, as soon as we had recovered somewhat from our longings for the scenes of our childhood, we met and elected the following officers: T. H. Glenn, President ; J. T. Huggins, Vice-President ; F. F. Roberts, Secretary and Treasurer; J. F. Herbert, Historian. Many of us having come here for the express purpose of making Wofford immortal in the Athletic world, thought it wise to begin operations by choos- ing E. M. Wharton, Captain and W. C. Whitmire, Manager of Baseball; G. W. Brunson, Captain and E. M. Wharton, Manager of Football; R. F. Welborn, Captain and F. L. Thomason, Manager of Basket-Ball. Owing to our natural modesty and diffidence in the presence of the azvful and dignilied upper-classmen, our debut was not succeeded by any startling conquests. In our ignorance and inexperience we were vain enough to suppose that our number contained some Webster or Calhoun, and with the ' iew of dis- covering them, we elected the following men: Harlem Wood and J. O. Kinard from the Calhoun Society ; J. S. Smith and John Harlee from the Carlisle Society ; and T. H. Glenn and J. F. Herbert from the Preston Society to represent us in our Annual Oratorical Contest, commonly known as The Freshman Exhibition. The first place was won by T. H. Glenn. The flatter- crowd imposed upon our credulity to the extent of making us believe that it was the best exhibition for years past. It was only a short time until the final examinations came, and with them the marvelous transformation from oppressed and downtrodden Freshman to omniscient, tyrannical Sophomores. Our first summer vacation w ' as one continuous revel of party and picnic until Old Father Time, apparently envying our happiness, cpickened his pace so much that ere we knew it the months had flown and we were back at college. 51 The ' erdure of onr apparel was not near so noticeable on this occasion. Our hair had acquired the habit (after laborous coaching) of running straight back from our foreheads. So pointed were our shoes that they were con- demned as danger(nis weapons. While our trousers by their brevity seemed to be indicating the high cost of living. But in spite of these frivolities, we were conscious of our obligations to our Alma Mater, so we elected the following men to direct our affairs: J- F. Herbert, President; F. A. Thomp- son, Vice-President; T. J. Williamson, Secretary; C. E. Morgan, Treasurer; T. H. Glenn, Historian; John Harlee, Captain; and L. G. Osborne, Manager of Football; R. H. Moore, Captain; and J. T. Huggins, Manager of Baseball; and R. L. Collins, Captain ; and J. E. Wiggins, Manager of Basket-Ball. This year we had better success, winning the championship in Football, and second place in Baseball. Our improved social condition caused this year to pass more rapidly than the one previous. In March we held our Sophomore Exhibition, the speakers being; H. B. Kinard and T. J. Williamson from the Calhoun; R. B. Burgess and John Harlee from the Carlisle; and C. E. Morgan and T. PI. Glenn from the Preston. This contest, like unto its predecessor, received the plaudits of all who attended it. And thus passed our second year. With the arrival of our Junior year came the quiet bearing and the dignity of upper-classmen. Our attitude toward Freshmen was more humane. We seriously considered the right of woman to equal suffrage. In many ways the travail of the past had sobered us. Our officers for this year were ; J. T. Huggins, President ; C. E. Morgan, Vice-President ; L. G. Osborne, Secretary ; J. Q. Kinard, Treasurer; C. E. Cauthen, Historian. In Athletics, H. B. Kinard, Captain and H. W. Sanders, Manager of Football ; and J. J. Burnett, Captain and R. L. Collins, Manager of Basket-Ball. As upper-classmen we assumed our share of the leadership, and I think we did so with credit. This year seemed to pass more quickly than the others, and soon we were engaged in Commencement for our first time. As Junior Debaters, vt elected T. J. Williamson, J. E. Barrentine, R. B. Burgess, W. K. Suggs, S. E. Ledbetter, and J. F. Herbert to exhibit our ability in the forensic art. At our next matriculation we w-ere actually Seniors, and I can assure you were thoroughly aware of our Seniority. It was with a glow of satis- faction that we received the adoration of Freshman and the benign approval 52 of the faculty. Realizing the importance and sacreclness of our high position we resolved to live up to the esteem in which we were held. We elected the following officers for the year : G. E. Simmons, President ; C. E. Morgan, Vice-President; R. L. Collins, Secretary; R. G. M. Dunovant, Treasurer; Harlan Wood, Prophet ; R. B. Burgess, Historian ; C. E. Rast, Poet. We chose the following men to edit our publications : T. H. Glenn, Editor-in-Chief, and J. T. Huggins, Business Manager of The Bohemian ; G. F. Simmons, Editor-in-Chief and R. H. Rembert, Business Manager of the Journal; E. M. Anderson, Editor-in-Chief and S. E. Ledbetter, Business Manager of the Old Gold and Black. The class elected Charles Henry, T. H. Glenn, and R. B. Burgess as Senior Speakers, and the faculty appointed Harlan Wood, E. K. Garrison, and P. T. Ligon. Our achievements here may not illumine the pages of history, we may never immortalize any of our faculty as Alexander did Aristotle, but we do aim to practice their precepts, and to take with us the spirit and the ideals for which Wofford has ever stood. HE Israelites had among their leaders certain prophets who in a keen foresighted way predicted many of the events which actually happened in the future. Many of the present-day believers of this prophecy have outlined it, and proved it to be very true, using the present war as an illustration since they claim and try to prove that this war was predicted by the prophets of old. There have been in more modern times poets who, by their premonistic genius, have foretold and explained future happenings. Tennyson is placed by many in this class of writers. But none of these prophets have with minuteness of detail and reality of fact so advised us of the future as the compiler of this article. I envoked the immortal gods to gi e their divine wisdom and foresight as a basis for this work, and all praise and honor is due them for their kindness and liberality of mind. This work is begun with the cognizance of the fact that its invocation was resumed with good-will, and that if any error is com- mitted all blame will ht removed from the interpreter and assumed by the God of Wisdom. I was sitting by my fireside late one afternoon; the evening shadows w ere approaching, driving slowly the sun beneath the western horizon, when suddenly the agents of Morpheus began to take possession of me and trans- plant me into the realm of a new world. At first I resisted, but finally I was overcome, knowing that it was the will of the gods for me to outline their prophetic vision of the Class of 1917. 54 My ! how unjnerciful is old Father Time in his relentless scheme of gathering the days and silently rolling fifteen years hy without the slightest pause. After seeing the many sites in New York, I finally decided to go to the Y. M. C. A., where I knew I could find an old friend of mine. George Simmons was there spending his life in a most profitaljle way, inspiring and uplifting the many wayward boys of so great a metropolis as New York. At length I conversed with him of the memories of old, our associations on the campus, and especially of the boys who had graduated in our class. Always having l een a baseball enthusiast, I decided to go out and witness one of the world series baseball games, which was scheduled to be played be- tween the Giants and Red Sox. Look, George! who is that fellow perched over there at the end of the players ' bench ? Lo and behold ! That is Pinkie Ligon who received his baseball man- agerial training at Wofl ord College, but now has guided and directed the affairs of the Giants so efiiciently that he has won the pennant for them. Turning my attention to a wee little fellow swinging his l)at tr) and fro, I noticed Jake Wiggins. Jake played a most wonderful game that day. For nine innings the battle had been waged scoreless, but all of the Giants ' hopes were blighted in the tenth inning, when Wiggins iDunted, stole second, third, and home, scoring the necessary run to win the game. After the game I strolled down the street to see the wonderful things which appeared in abundance. Glancing across the street I saw this big sign, Nesbitt ' s Top- Notch Bread. I knew full well that that was my old friend, John Nesljitt, conducting as outward appearance would indicate a most modern up-to-date bakery. I moved on up the street and saw where D. A. Snow was in the under- taking business, and from all reports I understand that he is busily engaged in taking them under. What noise ! My, that man inside the big building certainly has some voice. Some power beyond description urged me to listen at tlie pleadings of an orator. Well, well, that ' s certainly W. K. Suggs delivering his famous oration on Democracy, with its ancient yet unique ending of the federation of the world and the Parliament of man. 55 Proceeding further down the streets, the tingling of tambourines and noises of drums attracted my attention, and upon looking around I noticed the new military adviser and aide-de-camp to the Salvation Army, Captain G. W. Brunson. At length I reached the Y. M. C. A., tired and fagged out. By some mysterious way a recent publication of the Old Gold and Black fell into my hands. Under the caption With the Wofford Men, I picked up much in- formation concerning many of my former classmates. I noticed the follow- ing in particular: Mr. R. H. Moore, better known when a student at Wofford as ' Forty-One. ' has been assisting ' Billy Sunday ' in his recent evan- gelistic meetings on the campus. It is certainly of interest to find such a co- incidence as two ball-player evangelists. J. J. Burnett, former graduate of Wofford, has just recently defeated his brother for Probate Judge, his father casting the deciding vote in the election. W. C. Rast, also a graduate of Wofford, famous on the campus for his thrilling poems, has been selected as Poet-Laureate of England, the first American ever to obtain such a distinction at the hands of the English people. J. T. Huggins, once noted on the campus for his supreme executive ability, has honored himself by accepting the position as Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in his home town of Nichols. By his untiring efforts to promote the welfare of his community he rightly deserves his recent ad- vancement. Laying aside the Old Gold and Black I picked up an issue of the Scientific Anicrican, and noticed where S. R. Bagwell, after a series of conferences with Henry Ford, has succeeded in inventing a method of using mountain dew instead of gasoline as a fuel for Ford automobiles. M. O. Dantzler, who had spent much of his time in Wofford studying Chemistry and Biology, had been rewarded for his labors by his recent ap- pointment as special chiropodist to Harry K. Thaw. T. H. Glenn has offered his services to the Red Cross Society in their effort to alleviate the horrible conditions now existing in the cruelest war of all history, which Siam is waging against Afghanistan. His election as gen- eral of the Chauffeurs comes as a recognition of his philanthropic endeavors. - ' 56 V. S. Goodyear has startled the entire world in his recent discovery of a real hair-grower. He has experimented successfully on many, and even declares he is going to risk his tonic on himself if further experiments prove successful. I would like to know why that large crowd is assembled out in front of the building. Upon investigating, I ran into Zack Gates, the Speedway King. Having read much of his achievements, especially his feat of breaking all of Barney Oldfield ' s records, I took a great pleasure in speaking with him of old times. In our conversation I learned much of the activities of our former class- mates. T. M. Earle is interested in an extensive automobile business at Thickerty, S. G. It is said he is making Thickerty thick with Fords. M. G. Stone is conducting a large dancing school at Rock Gliff, S. G. He teaches all the new steps, including Moscjuito Drag and Elephant Lope. G. L. Davis, who took such a liking to Spartanbvu-g after many years of wandering, has decided to return to the city and engage in the hotel business. He has been using talents in directing the affairs of the Laborers Hotel at Spartanburg. J. F. Herbert, the great prohibition leader while in college, is responsibly connected with the water wagons of the little hamlet of Anderson. While touching upon Anderson, we might notice our friend and class- mate, F. L. Ghenault, a prominent leader of the anti-cigarette league of that city. He is said to be most wonderfully ecjuipped with personal knowledge of the harmful effects of excessive cigarette smoking, and is using his talents along this line in an excellent manner. I caught the steamer next morning for Gharleston. To ward off the ap- proaching symptoms of sea-sickness, I glanced through the pages of Puck. I noticed a very familiar name, J. McT. Daniel. There he was cartoonist for Puck, and famed throughout the country for his artistic accomplishments. The humor of Puck could not satisfy my shaky feeling, so I got my hands on the Saturday Evening Blade with its weird and fascinating stories. Looking down the editor ial page I saw a comment on the recent appointment of E. M. Anderson, as special short-story writer for Saturday Blade. To my surprise, Leon Moore tapped me on my shoulder. Who would have thought he could have been on the ship? He told me of his life work 57 in the Philippine Islands, and most interestingly of his work among the lepers. I was mortified at his story of the condition of the natives, and profoundly impressed with his super-human achievements in alleviating the sanitary con- ditions of so destitute a people as the semi-savage Philippinos. In discussing the achievements of the Class of 1917, George Whetsell came into the course of conversation. George was sole owner and editor of a Wild West magazine more famous than Nick Carter ' s Buyh _ R. H. Rembert is making a great success in selling Tanlac. He is said to have heralded the healing powers (if this magic oil in every city and hamlet of the country, and had received a kind reception, especially among the more illiterate classes. After a voyage, apparently as long as Magellans ' , I arrived at Charleston, S. C. I spied a romantic, yet deeply serious, old gentleman standing just a little way from the dock. Upon walking by, I recognized W. M. Sheridan. He told me of his success in selling Kitchen Sets. He confessed to me that he knew the articles he was selling were not worth the price of a shave, but further stated that he was selling them like hot cakes. I learned from Sheridan, who had traveled extensively over the State, much concerning different members of our class. S. R. Shieder and L. B. Stabler were conducting a first-class vaudeville show in the city by the sea. They are said to have elevated that profession ' ery much in the eyes of the theater-goers. C. E. Cauthen was president of an immense banking business somewhere in the State, but to our sorrow we could not find Somewhere on the map. I noticed a small little fellow with broad shoulders standing in front of a Pawn Shop. Upon close examination I recognized J. M. Harlee, who, upon cross-examination, admitted he was running a small money-loan oftice instead of a genuine pawn shop. I incjuired of Harlee the whereabouts of a first-class barber shop. He kindly directed me to the most modern equipped barber shop in the South. J. S. Edwards, who by the application of his literary as well as technical knowledge, had proved to the world that the barber business was honorable enough to command men of his type to enter it. R. G. M. Dunovant, for his achievements in ]:)iological research, has been pensioned by the National Association of Biologists. His contribution to that science was the discovery of a practical use for Amoeba in the medical world. 58 A. L. Brooks had taken up school teaching as a professor, and was very ably conducting the kindergarten school at Red Buck Crossroads, S. C. Upon receiving an invitation from my former friend and classmate, W. L. McMillan, to come and visit him, I did not have to plead with myself much, and then, too, I had learned that he had married, and all the more I desired to visit with him. Mr. and Mrs. McMillan met me at the train, and I was ushered im- mediately out to his chemical laboratories. Upon observation I found out he was just completing a chart of the chemical elements which was far superior to the achievements of Mendelejeff. Walter told me that he attributed much of his success to information he got out of S. E. Ledbetters ' s Encyclopedia Americana, which, with other things, contained small data and useless information. In the book of knowledge mentioned above, I learned of the success of our Georgia friend, R. B. Burgess, had purchased Thomas Watson ' s Jeffcr- sonian, and was very successfully putting that publication into the limelight. L. A. Blair had organized a Men and Religious Forward Movement As- sociation. This organization had gained much favor in the eyes of the re- ligious world, especially in the vicinity of Blairs, S. C. C. E. Morgan was fashion maker and clothing salesman for the Red Hot Tailoring Company, and was making his headquarters at Central, S. C. The faculty and students of Wofiford are to be congratulated in securing the services of their noted son, L. C. Osborne, who has recently accepted a position as Athletic Director. No one could have been found who could have surpassed him in ability and moral stamina. F. F. Roberts, after managing laundries in nearly every town in the State, has decided to go in business alone or in partnership with some one. It is rumored he is negotiating with Joe Whot, and by the way Joe Whot would add much to his future career by admitting a man of Roberts ability and possibility with him. It will be of interest to all to know of P. C. Thomas ' recent advancement. As every one knows, he is a violinist of world-wide fame, and one whose future career gives promise of even more renown. But to the point, he has just accepted the offer to teach violin at Hastoc High School. From the above notes of interest you can well understand the scope and volume of so great a work as the Encyclopedia Americana. 59 |l ohetniau After a week ' s stay at Rowesville with my classmate McMillan, I de- cided to leave for Columbia. I arrived at my destination, and to my glad surprise Mote Yarborough was at the station to meet me. He told me of his work as a member of the State Board of Charities and Corrections. I was impressed as never before by the good work this board was carrying on. After learning that H. G. Turner and Frank Bostick. two classmates of mine, were in the city, I decided to look them up and pay them my regards. So I went to the State Hospital for insane and had an interview with H. G. Turner. Grady had studied the causes of feeble mindness and practically discovered a cure which I know will be of interest to many. He declares that if one plays basket-ball regularly and scientifically it will strengthen the cortical centers, and tend to cure the abnormalities of the feeble-minded. From the hospital I went to the State penitentiary. Now, don ' t be ex- cited ; Frank was not a prisoner, but the recently elected superintendent. I learned that no other man except Thomas Osborne could direct the affairs of a penitentiary as efficiently as F. J. Bostick. Upon looking down the register at the hotel I saw the familiar name T. J. Williamson. I incpiired of the clerk where I could find him, and was directed to the display room. There I met Red Williamson, who very readily told me of his hfe work. He was tra ' eling for John Wanamaker, and was noted all over America as a haberdashery artist. By the way, one may remark of his distinction in winning the prize for the best-dressed man in the New York society circle. I was very glad to get the direct news concerning E. J. Wannamaker. Some had said that Ed had married a would-l)e countess, iDut Red in- formed me that it was a mistake. Now Red said Wannamaker had married a real Countess from Montenegro. We changed our conversation, and began speaking of H. B. and J. Q. Kinard, who were engaged in the livery stable lousiness at Epworth, S. C. Both are said to have enjoyed much success in their business, and naturally every one is glad of it. I overheard the conversation of two employees of the Southern Bell Telephone Co. They appeared to be rather jubilant about something. Finally one of them said : Our boss used to be an athlete, too, for he played basket-ball at Wofford College. ' ' 60 I could not stand it any longer, so I interrupted them. I was very glad to learn from them that they were speaking of W. E. Hines, the newly appointed manager of the Southern Bell Telephone Co. at Roebvick, S. C. An autobiography of R. C. Zimmerman drifted into my hands, and I was amazed at the good work he was doing in preaching to college men. A life, almost identically the same as Ted Mercer ' s, transformed by the mira- culous power and being spent in such a profitable way. could not l)ut cause me to be thankful for such men as R. C. Zimmerman. I caught the train next morning for Spartanburg. I had the pleasure of seeing J. E. Barrentine. He told me of his success as a lawyer, especially of his extensive police court practice. Looking from the window while the train was stopped at Union, I noticed, not far off, this sign: R. A. Hughes, Dispenser. That did not satisfy my rapidly rising curiosity. I inquired of one of the natives what kind of business R. A. Hughes was engaged in, and, to my satisfaction, I learned he was a soda dispenser. To pass away the time I began to read the advertisements in the Woman ' s World. There I noticed where J. W. Cooley and J. S. Goldman had, after a series of experiments, discovered a fat reducer for stout women and a face coloring so natural that it could not be detected by the unaided eye. Reading further, I noticed this in the want-ad column. Wanted — at least fifty girls to write John Woods if you desire to join a summer camp association. Wholesome sports, all kinds of amusements, in- cluding soirees. I can furnish the best of references as to moral character and general standing in community, li this interests any one, you may get in touch with me at Caesar ' s Head, N. C. I knew John was interested in camps while in college, and was glad to know that he had chosen this for his vocation. At last I reached home, after having had the most interesting trip of my life, and when I thought my surprises were over I bumped into Charles Henry. 61 Charles always did have a great and genius-like understanding of Latin and Greek. He has labored heroically with these subjects, and has mastered them, and we know that Wofford College has added to its faculty one who merits every advancement. At length I talked with my friend Henry concerning the recent appoint- ment of E. K. Garrison as bishop of Southern Methodist Church, and both concluded that no better choice could have been made. R. L. Collins, who figures so materially in the business world, came w-alking up to us. He let it be known that a man by persistent working and digging could make a success of almost anything. He cjuoted himself as an example, saying that he had made a small fortune selling ladies ' hair pins. We walked down the street and bought some oranges. Their delicious flavor was the cause of inquiry where they were grown. The fruit dealer told us they were grown by Mr. F. N. Dantzler, of Orangeburg, S. C. Surely that was no one except Fig Newton, as he was called by his classmates. I had patiently, waited the prophecy of my own future, but just as the God of Wisdom began it Father Time once more interposed — rolling back the fifteen years, leaving me to gradually discover it for myself. Let not our babbling dreams afright our souls. Harlan Wood, Interpreter of the Prophetic Vision. nil mm- m 111 c Junior Class Officers 64 Bohemian JUNIOR SPONSOR Junior Class OFFICERS C. H.

Here was a peculiar combination of freshness, fear and ambition. What could be made out of them? This was probably the interrogation in the minds of the upper-classmen, and the faculty as well. But soon the class was organized, and with the election of the following officers: J. E. Barrentine, President; R. H. Lawton, Vice-President; R. W. Martin, Secretary and Treasurer; and VV. C. Holroyd, Historian, we began the career that has startled — even ourselves. We immediately fell in line with all of the college activities, and began to dis- play a superiority over former Freshmen Classes, w hich was particularly evidenced by winning the championship in class baseball for the first time it had been won by a Freshman Class in the history of the college. Though we did not win the championship in any other phase of athletics, the other classes were quite aware of our presence in every contest. The oratorical ability of the class was first recognized at that contest known as the Freshman Exhibition. The following speakers were elected from their respective societies : Calhoun, J. E. Barrentine, and W. C. Holroyd; Carlisle, C. Henry, and G. D. Sanders; Preston, F. L. Fitzsimmons, and W. H. Wallace. The medal was won by F. L. Fitzsimmons. Though the Freshman year was filled with great events, there was a pos- sible melioration, and we must pass on to consider a still greater year for this class as Sophomores. We came back this year free from the domineering of upper-classmen, to exercise authority over those under us. Though we did not fail to make use of this privilege, there was a certain enthusiasm behind our class which pushed us to the front always, in all of the college activities, and which rendered it impossible for any one to rightfully accuse us of in- differentism. We won the class basket-ball championship, and made an ex- cellent showing in football. In addition to this we furnished a fair per cent of the men on all the varsity teams. We are no less proud of our record, as Sophomores, in the intellectual functions of the college. Out of the six Oratorical speakers, one came from 69 Tlolxeiniatt the Sophomore Class, and of the six intercollegiate debaters, we furnished two men, and the Sophomore Exhibition was worthy of any audience. The speakers on this occasion, representing their societies, were as follows : Cal- houn, W. C. Holroyd and J. H. Porter ; Carlisle, C. Henry and F. A. Buddin ; Preston, F. L. Fitzsimmons and W. H. Wallace. The medal was won by C. Henry. The officers of this class were as follows: S. W. Barber, President; W. Faddy, Vice-President ; W. E. Easterling, Secretary ; J. H. Porter, Treasurer ; and C. Henry, Historian. This year we returned as insignificant Juniors. Insignificant, not because of our unimportance on the campus, but ]:)ecause we can no longer be classed with the uncouth Freshmen, nor with the bombastic Sophomores, neither can we yet be classed with the dignified Seniors, and, therefore, our insignificance is due to our lack of distinguishing characteristics. Nevertheless, we can not but continue our march upward toward a greater height of fame, when we have as our leaders such officers as C. H. DeShields, President ; W. E. Burnett, Jr., Vice-President; G. D. Sanders, Secretary; and W. H. Wallace, Treasurer. The Class of 1918 has never failed to furnish a due proportion on the dis- tinction list since entering college, and has won the Journal Poem Medal thus far through the marvelous talent of G. D. Sanders. Were it not for be- ing accused for self-praise we would ingenously term this very remarkable class a paragon, and hope for still brighter things in the future. . Frances A.

Another sage hazarded some remark about the rattling of an empty wagon, and, of course, he immediately acquired a considerable reputation as a philosopher. What Dickens calls the wisdom of our ancestors is in both of these proverbs, and, of course, the unconse- crated pen of the historian should not be permitted to alter the form or ques- tion the wisdom of these sententious sayings. Instead of so doing, let us endeavor to apply them to task that lies before us. On the fifteenth day of the ninth month, in the Year of Grace, Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen, the sun rose cj[uietly, in just the manner ascribed to him by the crusty sage of Chelsea, and also, according to his usual habit, in the Eastern horizon. Another great event occurred the same day, in the City and County of Spartanburg, South Carolina, and that was the assembling for the first time of the Class of 1919. We came for a four years ' sojourn at the old college, and two of those years have passed into history already. The record of the first year has already been set forth in The Bohemian by an- other Chronicler, and the present scribe need not make repetition of the de- tails of the year w ien we were Freshmen — that w as so long ago that we have almost forgotten it. Having reached the title and estate of Sophomore- hood, we trust that we have put away childish things, and we can only re- member Freshman days with much ditficulty. The second year has not been without its triumphs. We shall make no attempt to perpetuate the memory of every achievement by the Class of 1919 — that must be left for an abler pen than ours, but we do wish to place on record the significant fact that of the twenty-five men upon the Honor Roll, ten were Sophomores. The ofScers who preside over the destiny of our noble class are: W. B. Carroll, President; H. N. Nelson, Vice-President; J. D. Wyatt, Secretary; 77 ohemiau and F. VV. Harris, Treasurer. So far they have exercised the governmental functions which have been committed to them with moderation and discretion, and with such impartial fairness and such becoming modesty, that we do not think any of them will be called upon to share the fate of Ex-Czar Nicholas — we refer to Mr. Romanoff, who has returned to his gardens. The year 1916-17 has witnessed a continual development and a con- tinuous progress, and gives promise of greater and better things to come. Our college course is half over, but we feel that the best is yet to come. It is true that we haven ' t made any great amount of noise — but the sun has been rising. . , . , . Wilson R. Johns.

Cer- tainly, then, the Freshman Class has a record of events worthy to be inscribed upon the pages of history, for it has proved that it is not only a live class, but a working class. We, the Class of 1920, assembled in the Wofford Col- lege chapel on the morning of September 20, 1916, with proud, expectant hearts, yet with some forebodings and misgivings. It was here that we awoke to the realization that the boy ' s life had been lived out, and the man ' s life had suddenly begun; that we were no longer high-school boys, with all the duties and responsibilities of a college man devolving upon us. We began the year ' s work with an earnest zeal, and have already made a record that we may be justly proud of, both in scholarship and athletics. This class has been particularly successful in athletics, having furnished four men for the varsity football team ; and it also defeated the Sophomores in class football. The Freshman Class bids fair to furnish Wofford ' s gridiron with some of the best material it has ever had. Shortly after the holidays, we met and elected the following officers : Eugene C. Mitchell, President; J. G. Snelling, Vice-President; E. G. Cald- well, Secretary ; H. F. Vaughan, Treasurer ; A. Stokes King, Historian. • One of our most pleasant remembrances is the reception given in our honor by the rest of the student body. It was, indeed, a pleasant occasion, and we feel very grateful to the older students for the courteous treatment they have tendered us throughout the entire year. As we close our first year at college, let us determine that the coming years shall be even more successful. While the greater part of our history remains to be made, let us remember that we have entered WolTord with a high and noble purpose, and that only by concentrated effort and consistency to purpose can we attain our ideals and de ' elop into the noblest and best type of the race, and render the best service to our country and to our fellow- men.

OUTZ .Treasurer .Secretary 88 90 Football Sponsors miss highbekger miss clark miss triiihle Football E. M. ANDERSON R. H. Moore, End and Half -Back (Captain). Who is that big fellow making those sweeping end runs and plung- ing the line like a locomotive? None other than Captain 41 Moore. Forty-one has played varsity ball since foot- ball was recnstated here three years ago. Wherever a weak place appeared on the team Moore was shifted to fill that position. He has played star ball at guard, tackle, end, and half. Always in practice and in the heat of battle he could be heard urging his men on to better work ; first setting the pace himself. Moore made a good captain, kept his head at all times, and is a sure tackle and a hard worker. We regret ' ery much that he will not be with us next year, since he will not do graduate work here. E. E. Herlong, Guard. This year Herlong was holding his position on the varsity until he had the hard luck to sustain an injuiy to his arm, which put him out of the game for several weeks. He is a steady, hard- working player. Herlong is good on defensive, and can be relied upon to open a hole when the play is called over him. The man who beats him out for guard next year will have to be a hustler. His playing in the early games of the season shows that he will do much good work for Old Gold and Black before he finishes college. T. H. Glenn, End. For three years Glenn has worn a block letter. By his good interference, hard tackling and gen- eral good work he has proven that he is worthy of the honor. He is a true sportsman ; always plays a clean, fair game. Tom can be relied upon to stop everything coming his way and to l)reak up the plays of his opponents. His offensive work is also good. He is a member of the class which leaves us in June. His absence next year will be greatly felt. C. E. Cauthen, End and Back. Charlie is the wearer of blocks ' for both baseball and football, and right well w. w. ALMAN did he earn them. Cauthen can be relied upon to. accom- W. JE. BURNETT miau i] C. R. BOYLE plish whatever he is sent into the game to do. whether it be catching forward passes, breaking up end runs, or plunging the hne. Although he is not the largest man on the team, when he breaks the line on fourth down the referee al- ways calls first down. Since he is among those who finish in June, he will not be with us next year. We are sorry that such is the case. J. O. KiNARD, Tackle. There are several rumors as to how Chick got his nickname. Any one who sees him on the gridiron is compelled to believe that he received it on account of his game football playing. Kinard starred two years in class football and two years in varsity. He is one of the biggest men on the team. This strength was well placed for Chick ' s big scjuare shoulders have stood the shock of many a charge unshaken. In June he will join the Alumni, a fact which will be regretted by those who are looking forward to a winning team next year. W. W. Alman, Lineman. This was Hogg ' s first year in football, but he made quite a good beginning. His powerful build, together with the experience he obtained this year, will, no doubt, make him a ' aluable lineman next year. Judging the future from the past, we predict that Hogg will not only realize his ambition of winning a block, but will also reflect much honor on his college colors. M. H. Felder, Center. Fatty comes to us from the Fitting School, where he starred in prep school iDall. Although this was his first year in college ball, he was an excellent lineman. He is a tower of strength in the line on defense, quick and powerful on offense. With the train- ing, which will come with more experience, it is easy to prophecy that before he graduates he will stand in the front R. L. COLLINS C. H. DE SHIELDS rank among the gridiron stars in this State. 95 C. E. CAUTHEN C. R. Boyle, Half-back. Although Kid is only a Sophomore, he has already worn a ' arsity uniform tw ' O years. His nose w as broken earl}- in the season, but little things like noses do not bother Kid in the least. He plunges the line, skirts the ends, and throws forward passes with consummate skill. Bo3de is assistant captain next year, and will probably wear a crescent on his sweater before he graduates. F. F. Roberts, Back. Bob is a hard-working player. His enthusiasm seems ne ' er to fade. For three years he has been on the scjuad, and is to be much commended for his stay-at-iveness. More men of his _ grit and determination would make the terri( ir team a stronger aggregation. We will not be back with us next year, since are sorry that he he completes his college course this year. W. E. Burnett, End and Center. Mose ' s powerful body and unflinching courage have for the past tw o years made him a valuable man on the team. His regular position is end, but, in case of need, he can hold down the center position in acceptable style. Burnett ' s specialty is seA ' ere tackling. He is good at cutting interference, and catches glad T. H. GLENN B. F. CARMICHAEL forward passes well also. We are to have him back with us, for we believe he will play his position next year even better than he did this. L. G. Osborne, Quarter-back. Plug has played varsity ball for two years, and has been chosen captain for the 1917 team. Plug has been a strong asset to the team f( r the past two years. Although small in size, he is a good defensive man, and can be relied on to run back punts. His punting and drop-kicking was a feature this season, es- pecially in the Thanksgiving game. He can be depended on to keep up the fight, even wdiile losing, and will always run the right play at the right time. We are all looking forward for him to lead the 1917 team to victory. 96 p. M. KENNEY the shining stars. R. L. Collins, Right End. Although this was Bob ' s first year playing varsity ball, he showed up like a veteran. Bob ' s strongest is the way he breaks interference. He also goes down fast on punts. Bob had hard luck this year by getting his arm knocked out of place, but it was well enough for him to be back on the team for the Thanks- giving game, and played star ball. We regret very much that he will not be back with us next season. B. R. Smith, Right Tackle. This was Dirty ' s first year to play on the regular team, but his second year in school, so we predict a brilliant future in football for liim. Dirty is an excellent defensive man, and can be relied on to open up a line on ofl ense. He ended the season as one of E. E. HERLONG E. M. Anderson, Center. Andy finished up the season by being our regular center. This was also his first year on the varsity squad. The only knock coming to him is that he didn ' t come out sooner. Andy was especially good on defense, and, although light in weight, he always stopped the play our opponents tried to run over him. We regret very much that Andy will not be with us another season. C. H. DeShields, Left Guard. Hard Luck was one of our best lines- men, and was a man that could always be relied on. He always played a steady game, whether winning or losing. Clyde was picked for second All-State team, which shows that his playing was considered very highly by most of the coaches of the State. We are expect- ing him to do some good work for us next year. M. C. Pearson, Right Guard. This was the first year for Beef to play varsity ball, and he showed up well on both defense and offense. He can also be called back to hit the line when three or four yards are needed to make 97 J. O. KINARD E. H. MOORE B. F first clown. We are looking for Beef to do even better next year than he did this year. P. M. Kenney, Tackle. Pam comes to us for the first time this year from Bennettsville. He was a strong- man on both ofl ' ense and defense, and was a regular for most of the season. He showed up fine for a first-year man, and we are glad that we will have Pam for three more years. H. F. Vaughn, Full-back. Although Heine is small, he is a dangerous man to the opponent. Heine is especially good at throwing passes. He is fast, and good at skirting ends and plunging the fine. This is Heine ' s first year, so we are expecting great things from him next year. Carmichael, Full-back. Mike is a Freshman this year. He wasn ' t very good this year on account of injuries received at the beginnmg of the season. He showed the spectators how to plunge a line at the county fair. Alike has the build of a star player, and everybody is looking forward for Mike to do great things. , . •.. M. H. FELDER M. C. PEARSON L. G. OSBORNE H. F. VAUGHN B. R. SMITH Senior Football Team H.

M. Daniel W. E. Mixes MANAGER BASKET-BALL CAPTAIN BASKET-BALL BASKET-BALL SPONSORS Miss Duncan Miss Randle 110 Basket-Bail HEN Coach Moser called for candidates for the basket-ball team quite a good number reported. Among those trying out were Turner, Collins, and Hines. All these men had had two years experience, having played forward, center, and guard, respectfully. Hammond, of last year ' s second string, landed the other guard, while Harris, a new man from the Citv High, heeled down the other position at forward. Turner and Hines were fast and accurate in shooting goals. Collins, Hines. and Hammond pos- sessed the ability to stick with their man, and were there with the goods when it came to passing. On January 11 the Old Gold and Black quintet journeyed down to Clinton, where they met the fast Presbyterian team. The game started with a rush, Wofford taking the lead, but after a few minutes the Terriers were overtaken. The Blue Stockings scored point after point, until they had doubled Wofford ' s score. However, our five let out another notch, so that, at the end of the first half, P. C. was only three points in the lead. The score standing 17 to 14 in their favor. First one and then the other team forged ahead for the first five minutes of the second half. Then, by a terrific burst of speed the Terriers took the lead, which they maintained during the re- mainder of the game. The final score was : Wofford, 33 ; P. C, 29. Belk and McClimon played well for the Presby- terians. The guarding of Hines and Hammond together with the foul shoot- ing of Turner were the features of the game. From Clinton the Terriers went to Xewberry. There they prit up one of the fastest exhibitions of basket-ball ever seen on the Indians ' floor. From first to last the game was a severe test of C. KROLL MADDOX 112 strength and endurance erf. FRIDAY At the end of the first half VVofford led, 11 to 8, but in the last two minutes of the play Renken won the game for Newberry by shooting three field goals. For the Indians the work of Renken and Kennedy was superior to the rest of their teammates. Hammond and Turner played best for Wofford. Although Harris, Hines, and Collins all played jam-up ball. In the third game of the trip the Terriers completely annihilated the Gamecocks, the score being 38 to 23. Right on the jump the Old Gold and Black five piled up a large score. The game was never in doubt after the first few minutes of the play. At the end of the first half the score stood 22 to 9 in Wofiford ' s favor. However, the Gamecocks were game, and, in the second half, made a strong comeback. But it was too late to overcome the big score which the Terriers had piled up. In the final count Wofford was found to have scored 38 points ; Carolina, 23. The entire Wofford team starred in passing. Martin, Talley, and Waring played best for Carolina. Turner, Harris, and Hines were Wofford ' s stars. In the second half all our utility men were used, and showed up well. On February 7 we were given the first opportunity to see our men in action, when the team from Presbyterian College offered us battle. The first few minutes of play showed that Wofford had the visitors outclassed. From the start she took the lead. This advantage was held throughout the game. At the end of the first half Wofford was leading, the score being 12 to 8. In the second half the Presbyterians rallied and brought their score up by leaps and bounds. Their passing was ex- cellent, but their shooting was poor. McClimon was their HARRIS best man. For Wofiford Collins played an excellent game. HAMMOND 113 ohemiau HINES On February 9 the Tigers from Clemson invaded our territory. From the referee ' s whistle it was evident that neither team would have a walkover. When the first half closed the score was 16 to 17 in Clemson ' s favor. Wofford fought desperately in the second half, and several times took the lead only to be pushed back. Both teams made sensational shots from the middle of the floor. The Ter- riers failed to cover at times, thus allowing Clemson to M H make se ' eral clever shots which decided the game. The I BiiiiiiiiiJI score was 36 to 31 in Clemson ' s favor. ' I V • Turner led in points for Wofford, shooting 17, count- ing fouls. Harris, for Clemson, made several excellent shots. Both teams played well. The NewlDerry Indians came up and added another scalp to their collection on February 16. Woff ' ord scored the first point, but Newberry soon took the lead. At the end of the first half they were leading Ijy five points, the score being 16 to 11. In the second half the teams seemed mcjre evenly matched. Both fought desperately. The Terriers in that half shot three goals to the Indians ' two, but were unable to overcome their opponents ' lead. Hines guarded Taylor, Newberry ' s star for- ward, so well that he failed to shoot a single field goal. The game at all times was exciting, and at times was thrilling. In the last game on the local floor the Terriers trimmed the Gamecocks to the tune of 44 to 28. Wofford ' s entire (|uintet played star ball. Turner, who covered the territory of right forward with exceptional speed, receives the credit ()f scoring the highest number of points for Wofford, mak- ing a total of 26. Hammond played the best game he put up during the season. Collins, Hines, and Harris were in the fight from start to finish, and deserved much praise for their work. Waring, for Carolina, scored 20 out of the 28 points made by the Gamecocks. TURNER COLLINS The last basket-ball game of the season was played at Clemson Monday, February 26. The Terriers were defeated by the score of 37 to 23. The game was very rough throughout. Colherbert and Bryan played best for Clemson, while Hammond was a star for Wofford. The following extract from the Columbia State sums up our team ex- cellently : Wofford, with a fast, light, and skilled five, proved as dangerous a foe as it has always iDeen in the past. Her five played a consistently good game all season. W. E. HiNES, Guard. Bill has for three years been our best guard. He is a good shot, and passes with accuracy. Hines made a good captain, and we regret very much that he finishes his college work this year. R. L. Collins, Center. Never has any basket-ball player mastered the art being everywhere at the same time so well as Bob Collins. His speed, ability to pass the ball, and to stick with his man, together with the fact that he could always jump higher than his opponent, made him a most valuable man. His place will be hard to fill next year. H. G. Turner, Right Forzcard. What Grady lacked in size he made up in speed. He is one of the best shots who has worn an Old Gold and Black uniform in several years. This year he was chosen almost unanimously by the coaches of the State for the All-State team. His finishing this year will be a great loss to the team. Harris, Left Forzvard. This was Harris ' s first year in college ball, but to say he made good is putting it too mildly. With a little more experience he will develop into a superb player. Hammond, Left Guard. Hammond played regular varsity all year. He made an excellent guard. We are all glad to say that he will be with us two years more, and will, no doubt, be even an even better guard next year than he was this. Carroll, Maddox, and Friday are good material, and will make valuable players before they graduate. 115 F. R. Ellerbe (left) C. E.

Our meeting on the first Sunday afternoon of the college year was attended by practically every boarding student in college. The attendance at our regular devotional meetings every Friday night during the year was, of course, below this standard, but still was good. These meetings were addressed by eminent Christian men of Spartanburg. Especially interesting was the life-calling series of talks made by Spartan- burg men of various professions. A beautiful leather-bound handbook containing valuable information about the college and city of Spartanburg was published by the association, and a copy sent to each new student a short while before his arrival on the campus. During the first session Bible Study Classes were conducted by Dr. Waller, Dr. Clink- scales, Dr. Wallace, Professor Gamewell, Mr. Betts. The text-books used were: Life at Its Best, Gilbert ' s Life of Christ, and The Meaning of Prayer. Mission Study groups were organized during the second session, these being conducted by Seniors and others. The courses followed were : Effective Workers in Needy Fields, The Appeal of Medical Missions, China ' s New Day, Our South American Neighbors, and Mexico To-Day. The total membership for Bible Study was approximately 95 and for Mission Study, 115. The greatest influence for good was probably the special series of services during March conducted by Rev. A. N. Brunson, of Columbia. These meetings were well attended and gredtly impressed the whole campus, bringing to it a lasting benefit. Dr. F. N. Seerley, of Springfield, Mass., also spent a while on the campus, and in addition to his excellent talks had personal conferences with a large number of boys. With the kind help of Professor Rembert the Y. M. C. A. conducted a campaign to raise money for the support of the relief work in the prison camps of Europe. The amount subscribed for this worthy cause was $176.00. Our organization has never had a large delegation at the Blue Ridge Conference, but an earnest efi ort will be made to send a large number of boys up there this summer. If this is successful the leaders feel that the work of the Y. M. C. A. will be a far greater success next year. 165 HofforJj Ololkgf iournal Established 1889 Vol. 27, No. 2 PUBLISHED THE 15tH OF EACH COLLEGE MONTH BY THE CALHOUN, CARLISLE, AND PRESTON LITERARY SOCIETIES SPARTANBURG, S.

The World War— A Greater Democracy X speaking of a great crisis in Italian Instory, Alazzini said, We have arrix ' ed at one of those supreme moments in which one world is destro3 ' ed and another created. To the think- ing man, what can the terrihie conflict across the sea mean l)Ut that we, to-day, ha -e arri ed at one of those supreme mo- ments in which one world is destroyed and another created? Of a truth, the Old World is now destroying itself. It has blotted out the lives of its noblest and most promising manhood. It has a death grip upon the throats of its women and children, and many of them are to-day starving to death. Its treasuries in art, sculpture, and architecture it has turned upon and ruthlessly destroyed. And, what is far worse, upon the altar of the demon war it has laid the lives of those whose discoveries in science and whose accomplishments in art and literature might ha -e astounded the world. To-night, who knows what young Newton. Goethe, or Shakes- peare lies dead on a battlefield in Europe? Of a truth, I say, the Old AVorld is destroying itself. And now let us turn to our other thought. Shall there be created upon the ruins of that destroyed one a new world? In other ords, what place among the pages of history will be allotted to the great war? Wliat will it mean to humanity? Is there not a chance that the welfare of humanity will, in the long run, be enhanced even by this lapse back into the practices of barbarism? No doubt there would have come a far, far greater blessing if, in August, 1914, instead of springing at each other ' s throats, the nations of Europe had abandoned their armaments and agreed to submit all differences to peaceful settlement. But, surely, from the incalculable suffering and destruction across the seas there must come some blessings as well as curses. What all these blessings shall be, we do not know, but one of them I wish to point out. It is a world-wide greater democracy! The doom of autocracy is imminent. It has had its day, but its death is now at hand. Autocracy has snatched the peasant from his peaceful cot- tage among the flowers, clad him in a damnable uniform, and forced him into the trenches, there to bleed and die, supposedly for the freedom and 171 liberty of his country, but, indeed, for the seliish gain of a small privileged class. A short while before the war a party of American tourists were motoring through a countr}- of Europe. A lady in the party pointed out what was to her an unusual and shocking sight. Together a bullock and a woman were drawing a cart loaded with grain. On the top of the load sat a man. The American lady was horrified. Surely the man must ])e lame! she exclaimed. A European in the party, howe ' er, noticing her amazement, soon explained that the man was a soldier. Such scenes as this and the very war itself have been forced upon the world by the rule of autocracy. But it is incredil:)le that the people of Europe will ever again allow themselves to be deluged with blood and tears by the rule of a selfish few. The folly and futilitv of Ijrute force in the settlement of international afi ' airs were never more clearlv demonstrated than by the present conflict. The dormant repub- licanism, which showed itself in many protests at the outset of the war, at its close will come to the front and assert itself. But we need not wait till the close of the war to notice evidences of this spirit. Tlie war itself has ])rought on many democratic movements. The overthrow of Czarism we will at once recognize as a most significant movement toward world democracy, and as perhaps the most remarkal)le event in the history of modern times. In the short space of a few days the Russian autocrat was hurled from his throne. With astonishment the world saw in this evGUt the greatest ach-ance toward lil erty and progress in Russia since the aljolition of serfdom. A wave of optimistic sentiment and a thrill of joy swept around the world. In the eyes of liberal men, Russian alxso- lutism st( od for the sur ' ival of tyranny, and the Czar ' s overthrow was her- alded with delight 1)y all lil)erty-loving people. Whether a constitutional monarchy or a republic be established, we may be sure that henceforth the people of Russia will rule. In hastening the doom of autocracy the great war almost justifies itself in the results that promise a better world. But Russia is not the only country that is to see the advance of democ- racy. Another throne is tottering. I believe the time not far distant when the fall of the Czar will echo among the castles of the Kaiser. Autocracy has foreseen, the coming of democratic rule in Germany, and, by promising reform, is endeavoring to prevent it. Chancellor von Bethmann-HoUweg, in a speech before the Prussian Diet, predicted the political reorganization of 172 Germany with a greater participation in imperial affairs by the people. The Kaiser has promised the realization of this prophecy, and in this way hopes to prevent his overthrow. Whether he will succeed or not, we do not know ; but we do know that in Germany autocratic militarism is making its last stand, and we shall see its overthrow there by democracy. We shall soon see the government of the world by the people of the world . Then, indeed, we shall say, with the poet, A man ' s a man for a ' that and a ' that . This sublime truth, so well phrased by Burns, we have been declaring to the down-trodden millions of Europe who have sought homes in America. These libertydoving folk we have welcomed. The tales of oppression which they have poured into our ears have often seemed merely the ravings of dis- ordered minds. Not until now, when the truth, by this great world-catas- trophe, has been forced upon us, have we believed them true. No longer now can we sit in peace by our firesides and listen to the raging tumult in the far distance. We must heed the signs of the times and know why we have been given birth, — the first and greatest republic in the world. We must heed the call, Arise, O America! Gird on thy sword and strike! Thou art the keeper of thy brother — thy brother who is now being done to death. You ask me what part America is to take in this great march of democ- racy? It stirs the heart of every true American to realize that our Nation is now taking the lead in bringing liberty and self-government to every people of the world. To do this, it has been necessary for Congress to declare that . a state of war exists between Germany and the United States. But, my friends, we have not declared war on the German people. For them we have nothing but love and sympathy. We have declared war upon German autoc- racy and German vandalism, and to drive it into the depths of hottest hell every true American will sacrifice the very last drop of blood in his veins. It is not the German people that would destroy our legitimate commerce, that would send to the bottom of the ocean the bodies of our women and children, that would incite the ignorant Mexican and the peaceful Jap against us, and that would come into our own Southern cities and homes and stir up tlie passions of our brcther-in-black against his best friends. It is not the Ger- man people, I repeat, but German autocracy and German tyranny. Against this we have declared war, and this let us fight; if it take the last man of us and leave our country a waste, — let us fight, I say, until the humblest Rou- manian peasant and the most unprotected Belgian woman and child shall be 173 oh6m a l absolutely free and safe from Prussian barbarism. Let this, I say, be the part of our great Nation in bringing to the world this greater democracy. And when this spirit of greater democracy shall hax e sufficiently expressed itself in the political affairs of Europe, it will Ijecome the guardian of ]:ieace even as autocracy has been the instigator of war. The military forces of a nation may be maintained for the purpose of preserving order and repelling attack, but as a means of aggression they will be utterly condemned. Presi- dent Wilson, on the occasion of the lighting of the Statue of Lil)erty in New York harbor, said : With all respect due to those who represent forms of government other than our own, I may permit myself to say that a definite peace can not come so long as the destinies of humanity shall be in the hands of little groups wh(.) let themselves be influenced by their own selfish ends. This is indeed true. Despotism is a fatal preparation, sooner or later, for war. Libertv creates peace. President Wilson has been greatly criticised for his declaration that after this war there must be f(.irmed a league of nations which shall enforce international law and see that the rights of smaller nations shall be respected. Such a league, his opponents say, would no doubt be able to settle peaceal ly small disputes, but such a system, they insist, would bring on another great war in which practically all nations would be involved. But, mv friends, in every country of Europe there shall follow this war such a spirit of democracy that no ruler nor luimber of rulers shall be able to force a people into war against what they know and realize is the cause of right and justice. And when the dark curtains of the present storm shall have been drawn, we shall look not upon a world steeped in militarism by which e ' en woman- hood is trampled upiin. We shall not see a man, simply because he is a soldier, forcinp a woman to draw the cart in which he rides, but we shall look out o upon a man and woman working joyously together, side by side, in the smiling fields of a happy people. Yes, from the ruins of the Old World, which is now destroying itself, there shall spring, phenix-like, a new world of a greater democracy and a greater peace. • 174 i -1 2; CO ■ to 2; o H (J o Motto : Boost Marlboro Flower : Cotton Bloom i)fftcer0 J.

LEGS Legs are convenient attachments used by human beings for climbing street cars, elevators, automobiles, and other modes ()f transportation. At other times we just let them dangle from our waistlines. Legs originally were designed in pairs for human beings to get around on. But we ' ve outgrown them. The only really useful leg to-day is the leg of ham or the leg of mutton. Legs still constitute the only real ex- cuse for burlescjue shows, of course, and they ' re an aid in kicking cats and unwel- come suitors. But as things to walk on, we keep them only for emergencies. This applies only to human beings. With horses, cows, pigs, and like animals it ' s different. They still have use for a leg on each corner. There is only one ' alid argument in favor of legs. If we didn ' t have them what would we do with our feet?

Ice is a paradox. It is used by cold- storage men to make it hot for the public, and it would be a cold day for them if they didn ' t have it. Ice was invented by Divine Providence to keep our rivers and lakes from freez- ing to death. During the summer it comes in chunks and goes in a hurry. It is what housewives and saloon-keepers depend on in July and fall on in January. Ice is found in the stare of box-ofhce clerks and on the shoulders of society leaders. Married women stand on it in their bare feet just before they go to bed. It is used by Americans to cool their cocktails and by polar bears to cool their own tails. Ice rides around in big wagons and has a good time, and when it gets tired of life it melts and runs awav. In Physics : I don ' t think I deserve that zero on my paper.

WHY SCHOOL TEACHERS GET WRINKLES Answers in Biology If it were not for the fish in the lakes the water would often overflow and de- stroy the forests, for fish drink a great deal of water.

It ' s a gamble — like poker, and marriage, and storage eggs. The main idea of the upper is first to see if you can get in it, and second to stay there till morning without breaking your neck. The chances are $2 apiece and 100 to 1 that 3 ou lose. If you win you pay the porter a Cfuarter. If you lose you pay your funeral expenses. , Life in an upper is just as calm as life in a bathtub on a flagpole in a cyclone. If you insist on trying to sleep in one, put your clothes to bed and hang yourself on a hook. The only right •ay, though, is to approach it as a purely sporting proposi- tion. Take a lot of life insurance and a long breath and make a night of it. — o UNCERTAIN Mary had a little waist Where Nature made it grow.

THE SPENDTHRIFT By Hervey Smith McCowan, Author of The Trail a Boy Travels MY FRIENDS, for twenty years I have been looking for the man who never saved a dollar in his life and is glad of it. I have not found him. But I knew a man who lived to be sev- enty years of age and could not fill out a check. He had never signed one because he never had a bank account. He is dead. He died a pauper. He left his wife in suffering poverty. His shroud is the wedding suit of the friend who dressed him for burial. He lies to-day in a coffin bought by kindly neighbors. And he sleeps his last sleep within the weed-grown grave of the Potters Field. When he died he left this epitaph to adorn the board which marks his tomb : Here lie the remains of a Spendthrift. I never saved a dollar in my life. I never prepared against the Day of Misfortune. I never took out a Life Insurance policy. I ixever owned a home of my own. I never had a Bank Account. There are debts which I have never paid and never can pay. My life has been a failure and I want the world to let the grass grow over my grave and forget that I ever lived. (Signed) A SPENDTHRIFT. We appreciate this because it is a daily truth. We are interested in you men and want to help you. Come to us for any help you need. De- posit with us. There is no better friend to Wofford College or its students than this good old bank. Our association dates from 1891. We can help you if you will let us.

It is just out— and comes years before experts expected it. For makers have striven a life-time to attain this ideal machine. And Oliver has won again, as we scored when we gave the world its first visible writing. There is truly no other typewriter on earth like this new Oliver 9. Think of touch so light that the tread of a kitten will run the keys ! CAUTION ! The new-day advances that come alone on this machine are all controlled by Oliver. Even our own previous models — famous in their day — never had the Optional Duplex Shift. It puts the whole control of 84 letters and char- acters in the little fingers of the right and left hands. And it lets you write them all with only 28 keys, the least to operate of any standard type- writer made. Thus writers of all other machines can immedi- ately run ike Oliver Number 9 with more speed and greater ease. WARNING ! This brilliant new Oliver comes at the old-time price. It costs no more than lesser makes — now out-of-date when compared with this discovery. For while the Oliver ' s splendid new features are costly — we have equalized the added expense to us by simplifying construdlion. Resolve right now to see this great achievement before you spend a dollar for any typewriter. If you are using some other make you will want to see how much more this one does. If you are using an Oliver, it naturally follows that you want the finest model. 1 n r TT ' M ' T ' Q A T ) AY ' Remember this brand-new Oliver 9 is the greatest value ever ' v- ' -L ' i y O n. yjr . J. . given in a typewriter. It has all our previous special inventions — visible writing, automatic spacer, 6y2-ounce touch — plus the Optional Duplex Shift, Selective Color At- tachment and all these other new-day features. Yet we have decided to s ll it to everyone everywhere on our famous payment plan — 1 7 ceyits a day I Now every user can easily afford to have the world ' s crack visible writer, with the famous PRINTYPE, that writes like print, included FREE if desired.
