Alex hails from the city of Columbia. After spending several years at the Fighter ' s Hole, ' he entered college. During his time with us, he has made friends with every one on the campus. 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

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. Charlie Rowland Boyle, A.B, K SUMTER, s. c. ha ne ' er seen ihe wine I could no ' drin} . The ' bacca I coudna ' smo e, Nor the lass I couldn ' t l iss.

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

)enior CI ass Paul Kirkley Cauthen kershaw, s. c. am never al anchor, 1 never shall he; I am sailing the glass of Infinity ' s sea. Member Preston Literary Society; Mem- ber Pipe Dreamers ' Club. To every youth there comes a crisis in which he either accepts a college life of refinement and culture, or takes a chance of fighting life ' s bat. ties alone. Paul was loo wise to risk the latter although, I daresay, he would have succeeded well, because he is naturally gifted with a good- natured humor that wins friends anywhere he goes. He has proved himself to be a sincere friend and a man of genuine worth during his col- lege career, and with his splendid business abili- ties, he should make a brilliant success in this world. David Heber Dantzler, A.B., A.M. PARLER, S. C. IVorlh makes the Man Vice-President, First Critic, Second Crit- ic, Junior Monthly Orator, Preston Lite- rary Society; Class Football, ' 15- ' 16; Vice-President, Orangeburg County Club; Preston Society Reporter The Old Gold and Black; Y. M. C. A.; Editor The Old Gold and Black; Y. M. C. A. Editor Wofford College Journal; Winner Journal Essay Medal, ' 18; Secretary Ju- nior Class; Advertising Manager Wof- ford College Journal; Member Gold Bar Club; Member A.M. Degree Club. Among the members of the Class of 1919 there can be found no truer gentleman or more worthy friend than Heber. Although quiet and unas- suming he has made many friends among both faculty and students. As he stood among the first in his class in scholarship, no one was sur- prised to hear that he had won his commission at Camp Zachary Taylor, for he always suc- ceeds in his undertakings. So far he has escaped the wiles of the fair sex but ere many years pass we feel that Cupid will mark him for his own. We wish him the greatest success in life and feel sure that we will not fail to see our wish ful- filled. Page iTeenly-five I
