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.

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.

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.
