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.

. 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.

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.
