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.

' 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.

. 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.
