Senior Class James Pressley Barron, A.B., A.M. MANNING, S. C. Then he rvill talk, fcj) Jupiter! How he will talk. President, Vice-President, First Censor, Second Censor, Sophomore Monthly Or- ator, Preston T iterary Society; Presi- dent Ministerial Band; Exchange Edi- tor, Editor-in-Chief Wofford College Journal; Junior Debater; Senior Speaker; Oratorical Speaker; Woftord-Presbyterian College Debater; Member Inter-Collegi- ate Debate Council; Vice-President Clarendon County Club; Member A. M. Degree Club. That the above line applies to J. P. with pe- culiar aptness, all his classmates will agree. Not only is he a great talker but he is a prolific writer as well, and some of his friends believe that he will prove in June that there has been method in his madness. These two characteristics, however, have given him a place in the forefront of many college activities. He has shown skill as a debater and has done good work for the Journal both as contributor and later as editor. Possessing a sunny disposition, a spirit of help- fulness, and a determination to do well whatever he attempts, James will most surely make a splen- did success in his chosen profession of the Chris- tian ministry.

In introducing Kid we need only know that he hails from the Gamecock city in order to un- derstand the why of his having an abundance of pep, regardless of what he is domg. At football he was an invaluable asset; at pool he rivaled Bill Wall with his English; at Con- verse he was a regular; and at classes he some- times, if not always, showed some seriousness in his work. He never flinched at Jimmie ' s ' sar- castic smiles or at Heinle ' s ' n-n-n-n-no s. Kid is an essential to the class and is beloved among his college associates. twenty-three

Senior Class OUR CLASSMATES WITH THE COLORS Breathes there a man rvilh soul so dead Who never to himself hath said : This is m]) oTvn, mv native land. To our former classmates who have sacrificed their opportunities for education to answer the higher call of patriotiim, we give this space. For indeed, they would have shared with us the hon- ors of graduation had they been permitted to re- main with us. But in lime of national peril they realized that it was more noble to leave their selfish pleasures and ambitions and to offer them- selves to fight for their country and the great principles for which it stood. In the trenches, in the camps, and on the sea they have rendered wonderful services. To one of these men has come the highest honor our nation can confer upon one in military service — the Congressional Medal of Honor. For conspicuous gallantry and in- trepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action, First Lieutenant J. C. Dozier, our own classmate, has been awarded this great honor — the first Southern officer t j receive such distinc- tion. Others of our class have gained glory for themselves and for their c liege on the field of honor. To tKese heroes of war, we extend our best wishes for a great ruiure in the life of peace. Thomas David Bailey, A.B. McBEE, s. c, O Love, if death he srveeter, let me die. Vice-President, First Censor, Second Cen- ■ sor, Junior Monthly Orator, Preston Lit- erary Society; Chief Marshal, Freshman Exhibition; Vice-President Carlisle Hall Executive Committee; Manager Class Basketball, ' 16- ' 17; Class Football three years; Captain Class Football, ' 17- ' 1S; Class Basketball, ' 15- ' 16; Varsity Base- ball,, ' 17- ' 18; Treasurer Chesterfield County Club; President Eptameron Club; Member Block W Club; Assistant Cheer Leader, ' 17- ' 1S; Member Pipe Dreamers ' Club. Tom has fought many of old Wofford ' s battles on the athletic field and won glory there that will never fade from his classmates ' memory. 1 o know him was to love him, because he was al- ways full of college pep and always had a smile to greet his friends. We have our opin- ions as to what Utopian dreams of love lie slum- bering in his breast, but we would not be sur- prised to soon see him tie up with a life-long partner and live happily ever afterwards.

He is unusually good-natured and pleasant and it is almost impossible to be pessimistic around him. He has been a strong supporter of all the college activities and in athletics, he has been our foremost business manager. His efforts have been untiring and he has made a very efficient manager in both football and baseball. With his splendid business ability and pleasant disposition, we pre- dict for him a most brilliant and successful career. Welsey Barnett Carroll A.B., K A SPARTANBURG, S. C.

Welsey comes to us from the City of Success, and certainly has he attained it in no small de- gree. Both menially and physically he is equipped for the blind trails of an unknown fu- ture. His skill, sagacity and discretion shown in oratorical controversies, together with his speed, accuracy and endurance in bouts of the baslfeleers bears out this testimony without the pale of gain- saying. That your future be as successful as your past is the parting wish of your classmates of the present. Page iwenly-four
