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.

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.

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.
