Child, Business Manager WOFFORD COLLEGE Spartanburg, South Carolina May, ' 1925 FOREWORD N the presentation of this volume, the staff presents its best efforts toward chronichng the events and dehghtful ex- periences of Hfe on the Wofford cam- pus for the last year. We hope you will find them reflected — though perhaps imper- fectly — in these pages. If this book has merit, that merit is yours; if it has faults, these faults are ours. No efforts have been spared to make it a true reflector of the atmosphere and charm of our beloved Alma Ma- ter, as well as a memory book of the Class of 25. If, in future years, when you reach up and re- move this time-worn volume from its dust-en- crusted repose, and, on turning through the pages, you recognize the names and faces of the pals of your school days of long ago, — and your heart is warmed at the sight of familiar scenes and faces, and you again feel the thrill of the old Wofford spirit — then, indeed, we shall not have labored in L .|| 1 i f . I W l;«?W M■M | « i mTWw™ g ■ DEDICATION WITH ALL HER CUSTOMS, TRADI- TIONS AND HALLOWED MEMORIES : ' WE DEDICATE THIS iLht 1925 Snlimtan IN GRATEFUL LOVE AND LASTING LOYALTY I j3 h:l-| Lie eAi2Y Here all the tumult of the tnarket place.

Child Four years have come, four years have gone, Since first we trod these sacred halls. Four long years which now do seem But days in passi ng short. At the beginning, the end was far away. But, now that our race is run, And all the conquests won. Time loses part of his prize. We gaze upon our footprints, And, as we look, they vanish. New feet already are marching To the tune we leave behind. May they profit by our labors. As we, by those before us, did ; For there is pride in accomplishment. In reaching a long-sought goal. In fulfilling the hopes of others, And in mastery and control. In spite of the joys we ' re leaving. Happiness is ours today; In spite of the future ' s uncertainty, There is one real game to play. We turn our faces toward the sun, The rising sun of life; Its rays are called ambition. Which is strength for the coming strife. Friendships have come to the parting way, But in each heart is kept alive The best Old Wofford could give To the Class of Twenty-five. May it ever be our watch-word, ' Conquer and Prevail. ' Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Dear old Wofford, hail! 26 28 Jenior CI ass LEONARD FREDRICK ARANT, A.B.

Cautious, Oyster While we had to wait until the second year of our college lite to receive this silent man. the Class of ' 25 counts itself extremely fortunate in havingr him among its members. He has the splendid ability of handling well, and to himself, the various obstacles that confront a college man; though what he seems to handle best is a voluminous correspondence with the ladies, here and there, far and near. Cautious never reveals intelligibly to any of us his attitude toward those of a more delicate nature, but he leaves to us the privilege of con.iecturing about his bear- ing upon that particular phase of life. We, however, will not err greatly in saying that he really, truly, cares lots for lots of girls; for when we see him almost constantly sit- ting at a table, issuing letters of great length to many, we could hardly say that any one in particular has a monopoly on inspiring him to such spontaneous elucida- tions about — well, something. By having ever played, throughout his college career, the role of a gentleman, he has won a place of high esteem in the re- gard of his classmates and fellow students. He is an excellent student; he has always made marks praiseworthy among the pro- fessors, and he has saturated himself with the true and loyal spirit of his Alma Mater, The record you have made during your three years at Wofford, Leonard, is the best; and now, as we bid you farewell, you have the sincerest wishes of the Class of ' 25 for a successful career in the broader school of life. m -QJ ijris iMaimx Li Senior Class MARTIN LUTHER BANKS, JR., A.B. n K BISHOPVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA Pan-Hellenic Council (3, 4); Vice-Pres- ident, Recording Secretary, Calhoun Liter- ary Society. Those ujho think must govern those ivlio toil. Stumpy It is truly a gift of fortune to possess a sense of the appropriate which enables one always to speak or act in strict ac- cordance witli the requirements of the par- ticular occasion. Stumpy possesses such an attribute; and we suppose that is the reason we have become accustomed to look upon him as a sort of an oracle. In our moments of perplexity, we know we are safe in following his counsel. One must know Stumpy to appreciate his admirable traits. Even if we were richly gifted in the magic art of writing, there would still be something cold and impersonal in our painted word that would utterly fail to portray him as he is. Stumpy is rather quiet and reserved. You never woul d suspect that within him lies the power to make the hearts of many maidens beat quick and fast; and yet, it is true. At least, we know a host of fair ones who would corroborate the statement. There are many fields in which Stumpy could profitably employ his talents — we be- lieve he could succeed in almost any. Of course we do not claim to be seers or sooth- sayers, but, projecting our vision forward along the line determined by his past achievements and present characteristics, we dare to predict for him a most successful career. — 1-fi) FT ' Mm: m 1 )emor CI ass CECIL WHITMIRE BATES, A.B.

Son Cecil has taliien his four years o( college life Just as it is supposed to be taken — as a play, where every student is an actor, uhere the campus is the stage, and where the members of the faculty are the direc- tors of the company, and the producers of the finished produ ' t which is before you. From the above, do not infer that Son has taken his college course lightly, but, realizing that for the play to be a success, those who appear in the performance should act their parts with the best grace possible; he has worked earnestly, diligently, and faithfully for the success of the drama. If, in after years when we from these dear halls have long since parted, Son shows the same natural ability in surmounting obstacles as he has during his career as a student at Wofford, we feel confident in predicting for him nothing short of success. I ' sing the past as a rule by which to measure the future, we know he will not fail. His future is sure to be a rosy one. no matter what profession or occupation he may choose. Cecil, old man, we bid you farewell, with the knowledge that Wofford ' s loss is the world ' s gain. May prosperity crown all your undertakings! 30 )enior lass EUGENE CRAWFORD BEST, A.B.

A man, he seems, of cheerful yesterdays and confident tomorroivs. Gene Shortly after Gene entered college, the fact that he was one among the ablest men in his class was discovered, and unceasingly, since his freshman year, has he been one of the mainstays of the Class of ' 25. He has, in a most admirable fashion, borne the many honoi ' able and responsible positions with which his fellow-students have en- trusted him. He has displayed those char- acteristics of real worth which are truly his, by the laudable manner in which he has so wisely lived his college life. Gene has maintained a record of note in scholarship since he first appeared on Wofford campus; and, while he seems not to have to study as much as some of us do, he places his average on so high a scholastic pinnacle that few of us ever attain it, even in our fiercest attempts. But he is not only efficient in the scholastic line; he seems to be gifted in everything he undertakes. He made a very brilliant record on the Cross- Country Track Team; and, while he has not represented his Alma Mater on the gridiron, he has fought gallantly, in football attire, for liis class. Due. to his ingenuity in the art of editing and of compilation, the fond- est memories of the Class of ' 25 will, in years to come, be refreshed by a glance at this volume of The Bohemian. Gene, it has been a priceless privilege for us to have known you as a classmate and a friend; and in whatever field you may make your attempt, you carry the heartiest wishes of your class that success may be yours.

Not stvift nor sloiv to change, but firm. Red Th e city of Blairs, S. C, has been well represented at Wofford since 1913, for ever since that time there has been a member of the Blair family here. However, we ' ve now come to the end of the chapter, for Frazier is the fourth and youngest brother. From every view ' point, Red ' s four years in college have been a success. In the ■ lassroom he has stood well. In the liter- ary society, too, he has been awarded places of high honor. Though too small to par- ticipate in athletics, Red has always backed the boys from the sidelines. Frazier is a man who is conscientious in all actions, who never makes a hasty de- cision, and whose integrity of character and purpose can never be doubted. He is a general favorite with the boys, and stands well with the faculty also. In his chosen profession of medicine, we wi sh him every success, and when he leaves Blairs to settle in Lone Star for the prac- tice of his profession, we feel sure that Lone Star will have to change its name. Good-bye, Red, and good luck. . i lis ■ 1 y ' } }irC €: ,u Mi MINTER WILLIAM BOBO, JR., A.B. SPARTANBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA Member Preston Literary Society; Mem- ber Hastoc Club; Member Spartanburg County Club; Surveying Club. Let me live in a house by the side of the road, and be a friend to man. Boo Boo M. W., Minter W., or Boo Boo, as he is designated by one long;, lean junior, came to Woftord from Hastoc. In spite of these disadvantages, he has made a won- derful success as a student. His punctuality and energetic way of doing things and meeting obligations, have caused him to set a stride that others should follow. Although having never taken an active part in any college athletics, M. W. has always been an ardent supporter and an ever-ready booster for all the teams of his Alma Mater. In society work he has always shown in- terest, especially when a question was up in regard to the time of ending the meet- ing, or doing away with the program. When anything came up in which there was a good deal of discussion, and good judg- ment was needed, Boo Boo alway.s wa.s on hand, and on the right side. We are not able to predict just what vocation Bobo will follow, but from the in- terest that he shows in the scientific de- partment, we would not be surprised to hear some day of Dr. Bobo. Or he may inter the profession which does business along with the doctors — that of furnishing the first vehicle for that Innumerable Caravan, of which we hear so much and all dread. But Bobo has always been willing to do the last thing for any of us, and we feel sure that he will not be lacking, if he is around, when that time comes. We wish and predict for him every suc- cess that life has to offer. His friendly nature and ready smile are the surest of safeguards against the breaks which one must encounter in the game of life. Of two things we are certain; He will play the game fairly, and in the end he will win. lip in 1 rn — - i-blrr: _ — 11 m enior CI ass CARSIE ORIE BONNETTE, A.B.

Al- though small in size, he is evei-y inch a man and a scholar. The one thing that ap- pears against him is his inability to turn his attention and smiling coimtenance toward any of the fair damsels in The City of Success. He has managed, by some mir- aculous means, to avoid the troubles usually experienced by those who fall for the charm- ing smiles and winning ways of the oppo- site sex. Work seems to have been an idol for Cus; and he has let nothing disturb his peace of mind and distract his attention from it. The name bookworm does not fit him, (or he has been able to mingle numer- ous kinds of fun with his more serious work. This fact is the cause of much merriment to his host of friends at times. His ability to obtain his sheepskin in three years proves that he is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, a scholar of no mean ability. Because of his size, Cus has been un- able to achieve success as a college athlete; yet, when the call came for supporting and rooting for the team of his Alma Mater, he was always present and doing his share. We know not what profession he has chosen as a stepping-stone to success, but whatever it may be, we are assured that he will succeed. Though we hate to part with you, Cus, the Class of ' 25 wishes you luck and happiness. 34 enior Class GEORGE ZULA BONNETTE, A.B.

Zu It is with no little pleasure that we pre- sent the gentleman named above, one of those prodigies, a three-year man. While the most of us have toiled for four long years for the much-wanted skin you love to touch, he has done the trick in one less. After several years of successful work at Carlisle. Zu came to us. He has con- sistently applied himself, and has done it so well that he stands ace-high with the faculty, especially Captain Hardee. For his brilliance, his good humor, and his appealing personality, we cannot help but admire him. His only faults are that he hails from Neeses, and that, no matter how he may try, he cannot stay in love with any one girl for more than two weeks. But we pre- dict that in the near future he will meet the ideal. It is impossible for us to tell whether Zu will become a school teacher or a farmer, but we are certain that, whatever profession he may choose, he will be a success. He came to us and found a place — our hearts. As we go out together we are glad to have him as one of us. Goodbye, old pal — best o ' luck. ii m:rr:i: --pjj ' - 35 mm enior Class mm JARED SULLIVAN BOSTICK, A.B. 2 A E PACOLET, SOUTH CAROLINA Vice-President, Third Censor, Recording Secretary, Sophomore Monthly Orator Pres- ton Literary Society; Latin IV Club; Eco- nomics II Club; Spartanburg County Club; Lieutenant, Sergeant, Corporal R.

Shorty In giving to you, reader, this short sketch of our friend and classmate, I speak from science and the voice of Fate, and by do- ing so, you will understand that all I say has been carefully and thoughtfully weighed as to its just desert and truth. At the top of this page you will see the full name of one who is known to us as Shorty. ' Tis said, The most precious articles come in smal l packages, and I am sure if you, dear reader, could interview, as I have, some of the Marys, Elizabeths, and Louises of our friend ' s acquaintance, you would not hesitate a moment in agreeing with this statement. Yes. he has always had the knack of being able to interest the ladies, but I have a notion his heart has always been for only one. But let us turn from these minor affairs and look to the less frivolous side of his nature. Here it is that we find only those noble and manly virtues which most con- tribute to the character of a true gentle- man. He was always willing to help; al- ways meeting you with a smile; and never once bored you with the problems of the classroom. He always worked them out for himself, and when he couldn ' t — well, his friends on the faculty would invariably call on someone else. Now that the time has come when we must part, we all see how fortunate we were to have been associated with him, and I am sure all who read this sketch must know how we hate to leave Shorty. ?

W. C. fought its way over the hills, and once more brought its load of aspirants for a college degree to Wofford. Among this number was the man whose pleasing countenance greets you from this page. He is quiet, unassuming, good-humored, and — one of those rare finds — a good, intelligent listener. Butler came to us after spending a year at the Fitting School, and since then he has progressed steadily, step by step, without a stop, a slip, or a halt; until now he has accomplished a part of his life ' s work in completing his college curriculum. But aside from his studies he has had time to be an aspiring athlete, and a social suc- cess as well. He has contributed his bit to our success on the gridiron, and, although he did not rise to fame there, he was out with the old fighting spirit. About his so- cial success, why, ask any Converse lassie, and she will tell you that he holds a posi- tion attained by few. The last long mile is ended. The long- wished-for goal is here. The diploma and class ring have been achieved, and ever- lasting friendships made. What more can a man wish Thus, old man, we bid you Godspeed on the road to success, and may every day bring a bountiful harvest to you. -mm- — ( ' emor CI ass JOHN LARRABEE BRUCE, A.B. K A ST.

Johnny With a smiling greeting and a witty re- mark for everyone, Johnny has so en- deared himself to our hearts that we al- most begrudge the world the privilege ot taking him from us. Yet, in fairness to him, and to the profession which he in- tends to follow — or let us say, rather, lead — we feel that we must let him go. There- fore, it is with no small measure of pride that we introduce to the world one in whom we place the utmost confidence that he will be a credit to the name of our Alma Mater. Ever since he arrived on the campus four years ago, a raw product of the Saintly City of Lee County, he has striven to do the right thing at the right time, and has suc- ceeded to a very decided extent. Now, all who know him realize that he was a dia- mond in the rough, and that the polishing process has so far proceeded that nothing will apply to him except. He is a jewel of the first water. In the sphere of college activities, Johnny has shown himself a man of excep- tional ability and of marked leadership. As a student, he has always met the require- ments of the faculty, and they have never had cause to complain of his work. This is a distinction to be proud of in the light of his other accomplishments. Probably the thing for which this versatile young man is best known is his activity on the Glee Club. Johnny has taken one ot the leading instrumental roles every year since his entrance. He can coax a cornet to produce syncopation that pushes John Dolan. Moreover, his sweet, melodious tenor has been a mainstay of this organization, and all-in-all, his has been one of the most important contributions. Another, but by no means the least, of Johnny ' s accomplishments is his pro- ficiency in the gentle art of heart-smashing. But let us leave his wiles to the imagination of the reader. Far be it from us to pub- lish his line — we don ' t know it, much to our discomfiture! 3.P emor  iass CL CLINTON FLOWERS CALHOUN, A.B.

A patent on Buddie would be like one on his erstwhile and less brilliant contemporary, the sun. Being the Nth de- gree in dispensing wit, the quintessence of excellence in satire, and the last word in indifference, he permits of no mundane imi- tations. He is so firmly established on the heights of superiority that the security of his position is assured. At one time in Oscar ' s hectic college career he was the strychnine tliat made more than one heart at the Verse palpi- tate with ecstatic bliss, but Dean fate cast eternal gloom where joy once pervaded by restraining Oscar with a perpetual in.i ' unc- tion. and the disappointed ones laid away his memory and satisfied themselves with less efficient Romeos. Ick has brought more smiles to Wofford than there are I ' ubles in Russia, and more than a case of indigo blues has vanished like mist in the morning sun before the first onslaught of his wit attack. Buddie will be missed as few men are. but we know that when he has gone he will be doing his work with Snyderian ef- ficiency and gravity, and at the same time cheering a jaded business world with Harold Lloyd antics. i -IT ' 39 enior Class JOSEPH SAMUEL CANTEY, A.B. n K $ MARION, SOUTH CAROLINA Vice-President, First Censor, Second Cen- sor, First Critic, Second Critic Calhoun Lit- erary Society; Freshman Football; Varsity Football (2, 3); Block W Club; Carlisle Alumni Association; Carlisle Hall Executive Committee (3); Honor Council (1); Circu- lation Manager The Old Gold and Black.

They have resorted to every artifice Itnown to ingenious woman — and yet, you serenely keep the tenor of your way. Joe represents to us tlie classic example of tlie man wlio does, without boasting. You never know he is around unless you see him. Yet he has accomp ' ished mueli of wliich he can be justly proud. He has completed the four-year course in three years; he has given his best to liis Alma Mater on the gridiron for three hectic seasons; and, tlirougli it all, he has been the same conscientious, de- pendable chap — always ready to help a friend, and willing to put his best into any task he is called upon to perform. We sometimes tliink there sliould Ije a rule that would require every student to spend four years on the campus here — for it is the man who is most needed who leaves us after three. We suppose, how- ever, the world needs him more, and we reluctantly waive our claims upon him. With his qualities, he cannot fail. We confidently predict that Fortune will smile on him with her richest favors. 40 enior v-,lass WILLIAM KLUGH CHILD, A.B. 2 A E, Gnome SPARTANBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA Distinction in Scliola rslili) (1, 2. 3, 4); International Relations Cluli; President Stu- dent Body; Senior Class Poet; Assistant Bus- iness Manager (3), Business Manager (4) The Bohemian; Treasurer (3), President (4) Pan-Hellenic Council; Varsity Basket- ball (1, 2, 3, 4), Captain (4); Varsity Ten- nis (1, 2, 3. 4), Captain (4); Secretary (3).

Build for character, not for fame. Bill During the first two years. Bill led somewhat of a quiet life and wi-apped him- self in an air of mystery. It was not until his junior year that the mystery was un- folded, and by the high offices and trusts that Bill is upholding so successfully, it is evident that these first years wei-e spent in laying a solid fotmdatlon, which is the cornerstone of his success. We do not mean to say that Bill was an unsociable fellow during his first two years with us, for he lield high offices f i om the first. In Ills junior year. Bill began to delve into the mystery of the fair sex, and he has solved the mystery with such remark- able success that some of us think, when he has had his degree conferred on him in June, and sees how it Is done, he may try to confer one on someone else himself. It can be truly said of Bill that he is one of the most popular members of his class. His ever-present smile, his sincerity, and a firm adherence to the greater prin- ciples have won for him the friendship and I ' espect of all who have known him. We seldom find a man who Is represented in every phase of college activity, and there- fore it is with a feeling of pride that the Class of ' 25 presents such a man to the world.

How we are going to get along without Maxcy is hard to predict, but Woltord will never be the same after lie goes. We we e lucky to have witli us for four years a man with such a personality, and when he goes, he will leave a vacancy that only the best can fill. He is a big man physically and mentally. Naturally, he will do big things and be a success in whatever he undertakes — except Psychology. Since you will not stay with us any longei ' , Maxcy, we, all of us, wish you the very best.

A man must not deny his manifest abil- ities, for that is to evade his obligations. Clea Four years ago Cockfield, or Clea, as he is known to most of us, made his fam- ily happy by deciding to come to Woftord. Clea is from Johnsonville, and citizens of that town should be proud of him, for he has certainly helped to put Johnsonville on the map around these parts. In the few years that Clealand has been with us, he has proven himself an all- round good fellow. He has that rare bal- ance of personality that is bound to make one attractive. He is courteous to all, un- kind to none, and he is admired and liked by old and young. Clea has always stood well in the class- room, but with Polit he did not fall in love. His two special partners are debat- ing and dancing. Clea really would make an efficient lawyer, for he can always make you believe that black is white, or vice versa. A rival to Terpsichore, yea, even so he has caused many a flutter in the fem- inine hearts of Spartanburg. Clealand, in parting, the Cass of ' 25 wishes you Godspeed on your way to suc- cess! 43 )enior CI ass FRANCIS EUGENE COLLINS, A.B.

He Is a trifle small for the gridiron, but, gee, how he hammers that parlor line! Dance? Oh, he is a regular Vernon Castle, leading his partner as much with his smiling ' eyes as with his gently enfold- ing arms. Those big brown eyes have made Francis a popular man on two campuses. Francis is a good student, giving much time to his studies. His finishing in three years proves the above statement, but we feel sure that, had he given half as much attention to his studies as he has to a beauti- ful, red-haired girl, he could have finished in two. Fiancis could not let the athletic name of Collins go down, so he followed in the footsteps of his brothers — Ed and Bob — and became a star on the basketball court. We feel sure that this very popular mem- ber of our class will be a big success in the mercantile world, and that he will make friends wherever he goes, for to know him is to love him.

He has spent his four years among us rather silently, but has sufficiently mani- fested to the fellows that he is a very stern and enthusiastic supporter of anything- that served to make the Class of ' 25 a class of which wo might justly vaunt. He has ap- plied himself in a wise manner throughout his college career — has neither proved to be a paper-eating bookworm, nor an osten- tatious star in the social world — but has so blended in himself these two aspects of life, that he might appropriately be called a well-rounded man. Bill has many friends numbered among a fairer sex, but only one, we believe, to whom his vows are truthfully made. We also believe we can correctly say whore this FAIR one dwells, as we have seen Bill on numerous occasions handsomely stepping tlirough the main sections of the city on toward a certain spot in a certain section known as Converse Heights. The fi ' iends he has made on the cam- pus are many; and each of them is pi-oud to be able to list among their paLs such a man a,s Cooley. Bill, we are proud to have known you as a classmate and friend; now. as we de- part, we sincerely wish and predict for you a great success in whatever line of endeavor you choose. 45 enior CI ass PAUL MADISON DANIEL, A.B.

Doubt, i jou, the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun does move, Doubt truth to be a liar — But never doubt I love. Paul You may call him Paul or Pauline, either, just as you like; by any other name he ' d be just as popular, because a man with his pei-sonality cannot stay down. All the elements known are combined in him, and blended so harmoniously that no one can know him and not like him. And still those of us who know him best realize how lim- ited is our understanding of him. He seems shrouded in a veil of mystery that he can- not throw off, and it is as impossible to penetrate as to understand — so we just at- tribute it to love. Paul started in the year ' 20 and was slated to finish in ' 24, but his sophomore year, he was with us only two months, find- ing that his studies were interfering with his social life. He has been denying ever since that it has taken him five years to finish. Realizing that this is his last year, he is taking all the courses offered. The way he shoots the profs and passes exams indicates that he must study a lot, and yet we know not when, because he never lets his scholastic duties interfere with his social obligations. He has from one to three dates a night and never misses a dance. With him, dancing, as well as en- tertaining fair damsels in his flivver sedan, is a highly cultivated art. With said machine, he never misses anything by more than one-sixteenth of an inch. He never takes anything too seriously and never worries. His cheerfulness and his willingness to cut a class if the Prof is two minutes late have won him many friends on the campus. As we say good-bye to Paul we hope that Spartanburg will send us more like him. Senior Class CHARLES McQueen DAVIS, JR., A.B.

Charlie Charlie, Charles, or Manager, as you may choose to call him, came to us four years ago from the thriving little city of Manning, S. C. Little did the citizens of the afore-mentioned town realize what a valuable asset they were contributing to the Class of ' 25. Charlie ' s college career has been a real success. In the classroom he has made a creditable record; in other activities he has shown unusual interest. Though not an ath- lete, he has shown a great interest in ath- letics; for this interest he was elected man- ager of the ' 25 baseball team, so he has truly earned his Block W. In Spartanburg, Charlie ' s friends are many. Among students and faculty alike, Charlie is universally popular, for, with his keen wit, good humor, and outstanding personality, who could withstand or lesent his charm? If space would permit, we would like to give Charlie ' s constant companion, his Ford, an honorable mention. This vehicle has an unusual (or perhaps usual) habit of turning its inquiring nose toward the en- virons of Converse. But for that we can ' t blame it, for Charlie is usually at the wheel. Charlie, we hate to part with you. We have enjoyed your friendship and compan- ionship. May we often meet hereafter. We feel and know that your future will be one of great success and great happiness. 47 oenior CI ass MAXCY ROBSON DICKSON, A.B.

Principle is evrr my motto — not ex- pediency. Dick Sometimes the inadequacy of words makes It difTieult for us to write of those whose true worth we have come to recognize. Ljt me say in the beginning that to appreciate Dick, one must know him, for the cjualities of his character lie deep. He is quiet, unassuming, and possessed of high persona! dignity. Nevertheless, he is sociable, and beneath his calmness is the solidity of his character which makes him worthy of the implicit faith that his friends have in him. Those who have talked with him know that he is firm in his convictions, but broad- minded and practical in his views. Those who have associated with him know thai he is open, frank, and sincere. Those who are fortunate enough to be his friends, know that he is dependable and true. These are all characteristics of a real man, and, naturally, they combine in the making of a personality that is to be coveted. During- his four years at Wofford, Dick has been faithful in the performance of his duties. Among other things, he has mad.? one of the most efficient presidents that, the Snyder Society has ever had. As he goes forth to assume his duties in other fields of life, he carries with him the hopes, the faith, and the love of many friends. 48 enior CI ass 1 7 ALTON WENDELL DUBOSE, A.B.

Judge When this young man entered Woftord, he was immediately given the nickname, .Tudg ' e, and after having- been with him four years, we realize that we coulcl not have g ' iven him a name that would have suited better. Judge is indeed a most taciturn fellow, but, lilte most men of few words, such as Coolidge, Washington, and Wilson, when he does have something to say, it is fraught with wisdom. Judge has proved to be one of the most diligent men of the. Class of ' 25, but he has never been so busy witlr his books that he did not have time to give the ladies a treat. It is rumored at Converse that Judge is to receive an honorary degree as a reward for his faithful attendance every Saturday night during the latter part of his stay here. We do not know what Judge in- tends to do when he finishes Wofford, but we would like to suggest that he run a poultry farm, and have as his prize stock a large flock of PARROTS. Judge has won a host of friends while with us, and only a man who possesses the true qualities of a gentleman could have done this. It can be truly said of Judge that he is one of the most reliable, dependable, and stable men we have ever known, and it is with a true feeling of sad- ness that we give him up to that unknown cjuantity — the world. enior CI ass EUGENE HEYWARD DUKES, A.B.

Such a man is Gene, ' who, during his four years with us, has always kept the atmosphere sur- rounding him saturated with gaiety and cheerfulness. He has not taken an active part in the various activities on the campus, but he has always shown his loyalty to his college by being present at the games, at the forensic I ' vents, and on all occasions where the pres- ence of the students is a beneficial factor in determining the outcome. The place that •■Scatterbrain has filled In our class is a position that is essential, for what would four years of college life have been had we not had this lad with his fun and pep, his wit and frolicsome laughter, among us?

A., ' after attending the Citadel for a couple of years, realized that the mil- itary life at that institution did not afford the proper atmosphere for a man of his calibre. Although a military man at heart, he was hindered by such a strict curriculum from taking- part in the social life to the extent that he thought necessary in order to insure him a liberal education. So, after saarchmg for a college that could in every way meet his requirements for a perfect edtication, it was only natural that he should choose Wofford. Prince Albert has not taken an activi ' part in athletics, but when it comes to sup- porting the teams from the side-lines, and as a member of the band, he is always there with the goods. Prince Albert can be constantly seen on Main Street in the afternoon. To outsiders he does not seem to have any definite aim in view, but some of the fairer sex who can be seen on the street between Converse and town understand perfectly well the rea- son. He stands a good hand with the ladies, and whenever there is a big dance on any- where, he can be counted upon to continue his unbroken record of attendance. P. A. boasts of the fact that he is a resident of the coming City of the South — namely, Spartanburg. By his energetic and faithful attendance to his many duties, Paul has proven himself a man that Spartanburg should be proud of. During the past summer he spent a larg? part of his vacation in the sunny part of Alabama. Although he didn ' t know many boys when he arrived at the camp, he made many permanent friends while there, as well as an extremely creditable record in the R. O. T. C. Paul is that type of man that everyon ■ likes. With his ready smile and friendly disposition, he is sure to have lots of friends, while his great ability makes his future un- usually bright. It is with sincere regret that we part with so true a friend. % i — 51 enior  lass HENRY MILLER DUNLAP, A.B. ROCK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA Member Snyder Literary Society: Member R. O. T.

When Miller first entered college, he did not think of anything but his books, and often said that it was his books and not what they contained that lay so heavy on his brain. But in due time Miller unraveled his troubles and en,ioyed college life as one should, carrying his work along with his other activities. Miller has one fault, and tliat is his fancy for the fairer sex. But we do not hold this seriously against him, as it is a common fault of most men. Miller ' s four years at Wofford have been well spent, and his fellow classmates have found him to be one in whom they could place the greatest of confidence. Miller has every essential of a gentleman, and through these qualities he has accumulated a multi- tude of friends who wish him the greatest success in whatever line of business he may undertake in the future. enior CI ass RALPH ATKINSON DURHAM, A.B.

Love ' Vjinged my hopes, and taught me hoiu to fly, Far from base earth, hut not to mount too high. Bull It is quite impossible to characterize Bull in a few words, for his activities on the campus during his three years here have been so many, so varied, and so well per- formed, that a volume might be written on the subject. It seems that when anybody has had anything that he wanted done well, he has made it a habit to call on Bull, and the remarkable fact is that no one has ever been disappointed. Beginning his college course with the frightful handicap of being from Colleton County, he seems to have outgrown it, and to have proven that a good man can come from nearly anywhere. He first attained prominence as a formidable guard on the freshman football team. From this feature of college life he turned to the platform and has spoken in every possible capacity — de- claimer. orator, debater, etc. Not content with the spoken word, he was made editor of the college weekly, and has kept that sheet at its high standard. He has been in charge of the Y. M. C. A. devotional meeting, and has aroused much interest in religious work on the campus. Thus, where others take four years, he has completed his course in three years, and in addition to the many others, the greatest honor that a class can bestow was .justly given him when he was elected president of the Senior Class. Withal, Bull has kept his calmness and poise. It is impossible to ruffle him, it seems; or perhaps no one dares try. His quiet dependableness is bound to carry him to the top. 53 , - ' f T ' -, enior CI ass CLARENCE LEROY EADDY, A.B.

He came nearer wearing horns than wings around here. Yes, you will find that each of us has carefully made a pair of wings and se- curely fastened them on the friend who has thought enough of us to leave his life in our hands in order to write him up for The Bohemian. Whether this is due to the blinding effect of friendship, and is therefore sincere, or whether it is wholly ungrounded and hypocritical, is of little moment. We have done our part in putting the wings on, and if they are composed of wax, the hot rays of the world ' s sun, which is to shine on us all soon, shall melt them off. For the foregoing reason, and for the reason that Colonel can face the world without veneering, I am going to portray him wingless. Would you say that a person is lazy, is passive, is impractical, and is without grit who rides a bicycle from Leo, S. C. to Washington, D. C, and back by furnishing locomotive power from no other source than elbow and knee grease? That is what Roy did. The first thing that attracts one to Roy is his cleanliness. Oh, he may not bathe excei)t on Saturday night — I am no authority on that matter; but I speak of his clean words, which must be founded on clean living. On account of working his eyes overtime, Colonel was compelled to lose a year at college and return home in order to give his eyes a chance to catch up with his brain. At the expiration of a year his eyes did catch up, and at times I am forced to believe that they succeeded in getting a considerable distance in advance. Roy is nothing in the world but a clean, plain, un- assuming, amicable, red-haired son of the soil of Leo, S. C Try to fasten a pair of pinions to that, and see what type of hybrid you will have.

Ditjnity, thy name in mine, and I ivould ever haw it so. Hub Although Hub came to us from Spartan- burg, he came, four years ago, with all the traits of a genuine freshman — shyness, de- mureness, wonder, doubt. The campus and the college, together with an element of time, have almost succeeded in the work of redeeming him. Now when one looks at him, one sees only a phantom trace of the four years ago. Ep is a scientific man of no mean abil- ity. He is adept at the use of such won- derful inventions as the phonograph and the telephone. Nothing in the laboratory ever puzzled his ingenious mind. Hub is a sportsman in the truest sense of the word. A basketball player of speed and accuracy, a champion at dominoes, a prodigy at checkers, these accomplishments give him confidence, prestige, power. But in the somewhat livelier tussles with Cupid, he is generally a defensive player. Occasionally, if approached unaware, he may be taken by one of the fairer combatants, and, if her attractions and eloquence be great enough, he may be persuaded to dance with her, and he is a tower of Grecian grace. He is revengeful and vigilant toward all members of the attacking party, for it is known that he makes long, circuitous journeys and ex- peditions throughout the thoroughfares of his city for no other purpose than that of finding out places of rendezvous and collect- ing other data relative to the strength of the aggressors. Ep has a jolly, amiable way that al- ways carries with it qualities that anyone might well envy. None ever saw him down and out, disheartened, or discouraged. His personality presages him success in after life, no matter what phase of it he may become a part. We do not know what he aspires to — who can say? He has the bearing of a professor, the mark of a gentleman, the qualities of a man. He would be a good instructor in a college, provided the college was neither female nor co-educational. This we know of Ep — that the elements are so mixed in him that WofCord is proud to own him as one of her sons, and the Class of ' 25 is honored indeed to number him among her members. - XL —I Li ' V _ri ill r -I r 56 CL )enior v iass LEEWELL ELMO FAIRY, A.B.

Among this company of innocents was Leewell Fairy, now better known as Peter or Pete. If one had observed closely, he would have noticed a blushing- face as if caused by some dreadful fear, that charac- teristic that so easily distinguishes a fresh- man from an upper-classman. However, the novelty of college life did not deter Pete from his purpose. He is now one of the most outstanding of the pre-medical students at this venerable insti- tution of learning. Rumor has it that Pete has suffered a stroke from one of Dan Cupid ' s arrows. For a long time he seemed to be in a strangely reticent mood, but, luckily for him, he has now completely recovered and is once again the smiling, humorous Pete to whom we are accustomed. Pete has always been a loyal member of the Class of ' 25, always ready to help. Gold and Black will lose a true Woftord- ite when he graduates.

His amiable disposi- tion and high ideals have made for him many friends. He is sincere and reliable. This noble lad has successfully mixed fun in with his diligent search after wisdom, and is known to all as a regular fellow. With his winning smile and pleasing per- sonality, he has great ability in the World of Romance. His beautiful, wavy locks have won the envy of many a freshman, and the heart of many a flapper. He is an ardent admirer of the fair sex and keeps up a flourishing correspondence with ten or twelve (he doesn ' t know the exact number himself), but it seems now that he is true to only one. We congratulate that young lady, because she has won a heart that is true, loyal, and sincere. As a student, he is among the best; as a friend, he is dependable and trustworthy; as a man, he is admired by all. He pos- sesses not only those characteristics which demand our admiration, but also those which make us frankly like him. Pete has not taken an active part in ath- letics, but he is one of the most ardent supporters of which his Alma Mater can boast. While not actively engaged in scholastic or military duties, he has been busy giving society an enviable treat, and because of his rare gracefulness has become prominent in the various ballrooms of the South. We hear that he is to study medicine, and we are certain that he will be an asset to the medical world, for he is the kind of man who knows only success. Much success be yours, Pete, and all joy to you! 58 Ch enior V-iiass WILLIAM RUSSELL FLOYD, A.B.

But his closest friends know that he is scheduled to win great laurels for himself in his chosen profession of medicine.

That contagious smile of Bozo ' s has brightened many a dull day for us, and has greatly helped us in our trials and tribulations. To write of Carlisle ' s faults is no easy matter, but to tell of his virtues is well- night impossible. He stands, a man among men. Saying what he thinks and never fearing the result, scorning convention when he is right — these are practices of his, which have made us all honor, love, and respect him. Yours is now the privilege of gazing on the Math shark of the Class of ' 25. In shooting Clink, he has been surpassed by no one, and if he pursues this line of en- deavor in after life with the ardor, zeal, and determination that he has shown while at Wofford, his success and career are assured. Just here, we must consider this promising son of Denmark from still another angle. He is what is termed a sheik among the fair sex of the City of Success. The last lap of the great race has been run, and the coveted diploma Bozo has won. However, this is only the beginning of a great career. We bid you farewell, Bozo. The Class of ' 25 appreciates you, old man, and we will always keep a mem- ory of good, old, trifling, happy-go-lucky Bozo Folk to the end. Hi) ©MO CL enior iass JOSEPH EVERETT GALLMAN, A.B.

C. a good face is a letter of recommenda- tion, a good heart is a letter of credit. Sis One of the things that we do not hesitate to put down on the credit side of tlie ledger of our experiences at Wofford, is our asso- ciation with Sis Gallman. His ever-pres- ent and contagious smile has always been a helpful influence on the campus. Sis is a born debater. Time and time again he has made the Hall of Preston re- sound with his eloquent appeals in behalf of various and sundry causes. He also pos- sesses a highly developed sense of humor that more than once has sent his audiences Into spasms of mirth. As a winner of smiles from the fair sex, Sis has no equal, and his propensity for trespassing on a certain piece of property in the City of Success, known as Con- verse, is really alarming. However, we do not believe that Sis leaves any of his vital organs in Spartanburg. His affections, we believe, are centered upon a certain young lady who resides on one of the seven hills of Chester. Sis, though not a shining light, has been a consistent and worthy student throughout his college course. His ability (???) to shoot Knotty in Psychology shows that he has a keen insight into human nature. Armed, as he is, with this likea ble personal- ity, we predict for him a useful and suc- cessful career in whatever calling he may choose. )enior WILLIAM RION GIBBS, A.B.

Bill In the selection of a college for the pursuit of higher learning, Gibbs, who is known to many of his friends as Bill, or Bill Rion, at first chose the Citadel; but in the course of a few weeks he realized that he had made an unwise selection, so he came to Woffor-d and entered our famous Class of ' 25. This was an asset to our class and institution, for he has proven himself to be a splendid college student, excellent in scholarship and conduct. Bill Is very quiet, but his unassuming exterior hides undreamed-of potential abil- ity and attractiveness. At times his fea- tures seem immobile. This is not intentional, but is the index to his consistent habit of concentration. In the ordinary association of cvery-day life it may take a little while to really know him, but when once acquaint- ed, you will certainly like him. He is a congenial companion, with a good bit of liumor, and all the characteristics of a true li ' iend, scholar, and gentleman. To possess greater ambitions or higher ideals than he does is impossible. Day in and day out, he has met every obligation and duty with a determination to succeed, and by such consistent and untiring effort, he has made distinction in many subjects, and a record of which the faculty and his classmates are justly proud. We recall that Bill has pursued every subject in the Department of Science here, which, no doubt, has thoroughly prepared him for his chosen profession of medicine. When we consider his strict sense of duty, high ambitions, and gentlemanly attributes, together with his scientific inclination, we can predict for him the greatest of success ill the vast medical world.

Life is not so short, but that there is al- ivays time for courtesy. Doc Doc, as we often call Gramllng, gets this name by caring for those of us who are sick at Wofford Infirmary. He came to this campus some years ago, hailing from Orangeburg County. Just before the close of his first year here, Gramling heeded the call of Uncle Sam and joined the medical corps of the United States navy. During his two years of service in the World War, he was on transport duty on the U. S. S. Leviathan. It was this naval training that fitted him to perform his duties at our college in- firmary. Desiring the companionship of the lady of his choice, Gramling ventured into the matrimonial field. Courtesy, kindness, sincerity, promptness, and persistence are some of the outstanding characteristics of this classmate who has labored so diligently for his dip. We pre- dict for him success in hospital work. -J j 1 )enior CI ass QUINCY EARL GUNTER, A.B.

As is easily seen by this, he has been on our campus for five years, not to mention two years that he spent at the Fitting School. His long stay here has not been due to any lack of ability or carelessness on his part, but to a series of serious illnesses that kept him in the hospital or infirmary the better part of the first two years of his college course. Q has now recovered his health, and is an active member of our class. He Is the kind of man who works for what he gets and works hard that he may get as much as possible. In spite of many han- dicaps, he has practically paid all of his college expenses by working in his spare time. Deeply religious. Q is the kind of man that people put their confidence in. If he chooses to enter the ministerial profession, we have no doubt but that he will become one of our foremost preachers, for his in- tegrity, his conscientiousness, and his pursuit of the higher things of life make him the kind of man who can easily consecrate him- self to a worthy cause. Quietly, unassumingly, without pretense, without display, he has made his way into the hearts of his classmates and the faculty. We wish him much success in whatever pro- fession he chooses to take up, and we feel sure that life holds in store many good things for him. He has caught the spirit of our Alnia Mater, and we know that as lie makes his way through life, he will give to others many fine and indispensable things. , enior Class LAMBERT JONES HAMMOND, A.B.

It matters not Iioiu straight the gate, How charged nvith punishment the scroll, I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. Lambert Brilliant intellect, ready wit, pleasing per- sonality and energy combined — that ' s Lam- bert. He is what one would term an all- round good student, and by his unfailing devotion to a good cause and his gentle- manly conduct, he has won the admiration ot his fellow students. Optimism is surely one of his virtues, for he has always contended that the next Psychology lesson would be easier than its predecessor. He was not necessarily a grind, but he was successful in his scholastic work, despite the fact that numerous social duties have required much of his time. Hard luck never bothered him; his genial good nature brings him up smiling every time. Lambert is a runt in stature, but, as has already been mentioned, his intellect is pos- itively massive. He doesn ' t talk much, but when he gets started he talks rapidly, just as he drives his Oldsmoblle down Spring Street. To his type, we are forced to say that he is a clean man, of high cliaracter. He has run a good race in college, and we ' ll bet on him when he gets out in the A ' orld.

The eyes which are turned to you from the picture above are of the most heavenly blue, and their beauty, coupled with the Marcelle permanent of his amber locks, has proven to be the cause of many a downfall of those of the weaker sex. Not that he could help it. for ladies occupied only his idle moments, which are few, and most of the time we find him faithfully at work on a debate or an oration. Above all, he obeyed the call ot duty, and when he had something to do, you might .iust as well write done be- side the task assigned. ' Tis true he is small of stature, but so was Napoleon, and we find also in Hert some of the best traits which characterized that great man ' s nature. He even started out to be a soldier, but. deciding that camp life was going to be too strenuous, he momentarily went color-blind, and so got a free trip home. As a soldier he made a good silk hose salesman. But in spite of these minor facts, we find in him a rare combination of good qualities — an apt orator, a tireless worker, and a companionable friend. Now that I have told you all I can in so short a space, I am sure you see what he has meant to us. 66 --p i-rvp-r?t ' T I ■ mis. enior CI ass CHESLEY C.

Chess Forth from the Textile Center came this young gentleman to join the ranks of the Class of ' 25. Chess is a prodigy and he has demonstrated this fact to the profs by refusing to allow them to give less than 1 on any subject. But his ability lies not only along literary lines. He has successfully tortured the state with the Glee Club, to say nothing of representing the college in forensic circles, where only the learned abound. By merely looking over his honors, the reader will see that, when a true, con- scientious, intelligent, and faithful leader is needed, Chess is the man for the job. When he has any work to do, he puts all his effort into it, and the result is that his scholarship record outranks that of any other member of the Senior Class. A man with the qualities of Chess cannot be kept down, and we are sure that his place will be on the top rung of the ladder of success. As Chess launches his craft on the sea of the future, we send him forth, proud to recognize him as one of our class, and con- fident that his great ability will soon be known by his great achievements in the world. 1i (4-H 1 67 enior CI ass JOSEPH TAYLOR HUDSON, JR., A.B. ■ , - n K SPARTANBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA Distinction in Scholarship (1, 2, 3); Three- Year Club; Treasurer Hastoc Club; Treasurer Student Body; President, Second Critic, Sec- ond Censor, Third Censor Preston Literary Society; International Relations Club; Editor Y.

It one word could sum up our estimate of him, it would prob- ably be Integrity. ,Iudy has accomplished in three years that which requires four years for most of us. With our knowledge of his aptness and diligence, however, we do not wonder that he received his diploma a year ahead of his former classmates. Some of his acquaintances hold the opin- ion that J.

His patliway is literally strewn with the relics of romantic conquest; and even now, it he be not in love with some woman, then there ' s no believing old signs. It is not given us to know what the future has in store for Judy. It is inevitable, however, that such integrity and ability should bear a rich fruitage. We are sure that the attributes which have won the confidence and esteem of all who know him now. will in years to come bring him success and honor. Id ' enior CI ass JAMES GEORGE HUGGIN, JR., A.B.

Jim To give an adequate description ot a noble nature is beyond the powers of any man, and yet, this is the task about to be undertaken. It is also impossible to give here an account ot Jim ' s activities during the last four years. But we, his college mates, know him. and we ask that these scattering re- marks may serve as a testimonial that we do know him. Jim leaves college with quite an en- viable scholastic record behind him, and with the laudable distinction of having faced squarely every obligation by which he was confronted. But he didn ' t stop with the first mile: President and indispensable leadei in the literary society, one of the most faith- ful workers in the Y. M. C. A., captain in the R. O. T. C, distinguished in the forensic field — these are a few of the things to his credit. But if you ask wherein Jim towers above his fellows, we answer you this, In being the man that he is. Cheerful and witty, constant and serious, with strong con- victions that we have seen deepening dur- ing the past year, he has won his way into our lives. Though he, too, makes mistakes and becomes despondent at times, no stu- dent at Woftord has a more broad and op- timistic outlook on life than he. And, lest the absence of such a remark lead you to become wrongly impressed, we must men- tion that he also has that virtue which we often jokingly call a fault — he is very gen- erous with his heart, and has no difficulty in bestowing more than halt of that life- sustaining organ on some member of the opposite sex. After suflBcient preparation and training, he will enter the profession ot his choice, the ministry. We predict nothing but suc- cess for him. Wherever he goes and how- ever much he changes, we shall never be able to forget the Jim that we knew when we were all striving for our A.B. degree, and we ' ll be glad that we were counted among his friends. i i;:: ' i 5-f -. - is 69 ii 70 enior Class PERRY McKOWN HUGGIN, A.B.

It makes you feel good just to talk with Mac a few minutes, and, furthermore, he is always ready and willing to stop and pass the time of day pleasantly with you. Mac intends to be an M. D. some sweet day, and we know the poor sick ones will always be glad to see Dr. Huggin coming; beside being able to pre- scribe the pills and powders, he will be able to arouse in his patients that merry heart that doeth good like medicine. In the classroom, Mac has an astonish- ing way of dealing out the right answer when the other sharks are muddling hope- lessly around in the mire of gai-bled in- formation. This rather enviable character- istic has enabled him to make a splendid record in his studies. His literary ability is shown by the fact that he was elected president of the Preston Society. Mac has not nglected the fair sex in handing out his cheer, and his line of Bu- bu-bull, as he would call it, has made a maiden ' s heart quicken, and has gotten for him many a coy look from starlike eyes.

He w io does all that his circumstances ivill alloiu, does well; angels can do no more. Preacher T. A.. or Preacher, as he is known to those who know him well, came to us from St. Matthews, S. C. Preacher, hav- ing finished at Carlisle School, came well prepared, and as a result, has finished in three years. He deserves much credit for this, for, even before he came to college, he decided that matrimonial bliss was the thing- for him, and as a result, he brought Mrs. Inabinet with him. Paying practically all one ' s college expenses and supporting a wife all at the same time is quite a feat, especially when one has only spare time in which to work. Besides his college course, he has received some valuable training from Mrs. Inabinet in raising chickens and house- work. As a result of this, he will leave us quite competent to assist around the house as well as preach. Those who know Preacher best have found him always the truest of true friends, and a man whom anyone can trust with anything. Courteous, and a true gentle- man in the purest sense of the word, he is liked by all who know him. We feel sure that one day he will become one of South Carolina ' s foremost preachers, a presiding elder, or a bishop — who can tell? We know that he has the conscientiousness, character, and stickability — so why not? As a scholar, Preacher has an enviable record. Seldom does anyone of our profes- sors call upon him and receive an answer other than the right one. In the Snyder Lit- erary Society he has always taken an active interest. As an extemporaneous debater he has excelled, and has never refused to serve in any capacity when called upon. Preacher never shirks a duty, no matter what it may be. Always respecting the rights of others, he goes his way on our campus, quietly, serenely — a man respected by all. We have no fears whatever for his future, but we hate to see him leave us. We realize, though, that what will be our loss will be our Commonwealth ' s gain, so as he goes out into his chosen field of work, we wish him much success and a share in all the finer things of life. tenior CI ass ROBF.RT HENRY JENNINGS, A.B.

To help his fellow men is the goal he strives for. Always willing to put forth his best efforts tor his Alma Mater, Doc is a true gentle- man in every sense of the word. Doc did not participate in athletics, but he was known as the physician for the football squad. If Doc failed to get an injured player in condition for a game, there was no use to make any further effort to do so. He has a place in the heart of every football player for his continuous efforts to help them. As a Pre-Med. student, Doc has ranked with the best. He was always experiment- ing.

We could probably add Svifeet William to this list of names to help to make it one of respectable size, but as usual, three is a crowd when a member of the fair sex is one of the party, and personally we have never had an opportunity to listen in, Bill hails from Marlboro, the county of cotton and corn. Being from such a place is recommendation enough, but when we get a chance to speak of a pei ' son of whom something CAN be said, we like to eulogize. Before entering college, Bill tried the school of experience, but he hit the business world when things were on the down grade, and great was the fall thereof; so Bill decided to cast his lot with the college stu- dents. Those of us who have tasted life outside of the dormitory walls know how hard it is to come back. Not only did Bill come back, but he placed his name among the chosen few who complete their course in three years. It ' s an honor well worth having to belong to the Three-Year Club. Bill anticipates furthering his educa- tion, and, if he should do so, it will not be long before he will be in the market for a shingle on which to paint M. D. With the addition of medical knowledge, however, Bill ' s success is assured. He has all the requirements — geniality, sym- pathy, understanding, and a deep interest in his fellow men — all summed up in a person- ality seldom found. It isn ' t what you have, it ' s what you are, and Bill is.

During his years on the campus, Kirton has filled his place well. Quiet and unassuming, he has not made it his practice to blare abroad his achieve- ments and attract attention to himself, but he has rather chosen to tread the campus walks modestly and without conceit. He rarely allows himself to become wrought up over the petty wranglings of mankind, but quietly lives the lite of a gentleman and a scholar. It is said that good things come in small packages, and it seems that we have no exception to the rule here. In respect to . ' ize, Kirton reminds us of Napoleon rather than of Jess Willard. Perhaps we might .say that as a student of history, the com- parison can be even further extended, for Dumpy has a way of telling Dune what he wants to know about the contents of the history book. We may think of him as a representative Wofford man, for he came to college from the old Fitting School. He possesses those sterling qualities that characterize a good player in the Game of Life, and we feel sure the Class of ' 25 is going to have added lustre in future years from the deeds of our friend Dumpy. 6 enior CI ass WILLIAM JONES LANDER, A.B.

Lan- der, from the city of Calhoun Falls, S. C. In prep school he earned the name Runt, which has stuck to him during his college career. But now one would never conceive of such a name, for the tall, handsome, dig- nified senior walks with pride on Wofford campus, and in other circles he gets the fond glance of many a lady, we trow. Runt has taken an interest in every college activity, and, whenever there was any rooting going on, he was there with the pep. He was a member of the base- ball squad of ' 24, and came very near win- ning a place on the championship nine. He is a tennis marvel, too, and is so adept with various strokes that some day he will prob- ably have a match with Tilden. Runt is also a mainstay of Wblford ' s noble wind- .lammers and jazz hounds, otherwise known as the R. O. T. C. Band, which fact do ubtless accounts for many of our athletic victories in the past. Runt is a brilliant student, as is shown by his ability to shoot Dune consistently and stand Knotty ' s Greek exams in half an hour. As far as we can learn, no student has ever done so well in college with so little studying. He is the youngest of the Class of ' 25, and his versatility and scholarly ac- tivities are prophecies of the wonderful achievements he will attain in whatever career he may choose. Everyone who knows him is his friend, and his bantering good-will and winning person- ality have won him a large place in the hearts of both faculty and student body. We all join in a hearty wish for his happiness and the best that life may offer. ,J J — h-i-,. T , 1 S Q)IH]k.. 76 (enior Ci ass STEPHEN ARTHUR LANHAM, A.B.

He holds the unusual distinction of being the only man who has ever been on the Wofford Glee Club for more than four years. His musical ability is not confined to any one instrument, for Count plays with equal ability a number of different in- struments. His jovial disposition has won him a place in the hearts of the boys on the campus and his effervescent wit has made for him many friends. It is rumored that he has several other side lines, one of which seems to take him toward Converse whenever opportunity offers. But, seriously, Count has decided to follow the medical profession.

Lawrence has made a favorable impression from the first on all the boys who know him. That impression waxes with age because he is quiet, and, as a consequence, when he speaks, we have learned to listen, for something worth while is going to follow. Still water runs deep Is as true as is the sum of two plus two is four. In spite of the fact that this year Lawrence has been the cause of the ending of many of our pipe dreams, with the sound of his metallic herald of misery ringing out our freedom and ringing In our confinement, we hold no ill feeling against him. It should not be true that a conscientious, thorough, whole-hearted college boy should gain over- much admiration, for these should be com- mon attributes of every college student; but since they are not, we must admit that when a boy comes into our midst with them, and continues to exercise them, that boy gains our unspoken but sincere admiration.

D. has succeeded in making a host of friends. His cheery grin, and his willingness to discuss anything with you in the friendliest manner imaginable have made his personality liked by all. Lee has been one of the mainstays of the track team ever since his freshman year. His fleetness of foot has been the admira- tion and despair of the aspirants for the cross-country team. He has had the honor of being the captain of the team, and he has also acted as coach, training up and leading the team to a most creditable showing. Lee is the crack shot of the rifle team. In fact, he is an all- ' round good soldier wlien he dons his uniform, foi- he com- manded one of the best-drilled platoons of the battalion during his senior year. Despite all this, he has not been able to resist the charm of a pair of bright eyes. But we can say this — the fair young lady who has stolen away his heart has taken one that beats warm for his fellow-students and for the world in general. We predict for Lee all the good things the cold world offers, for it is to the warm- heartf d and persevering characters such as his that the good things of life fall in abundant measure.

One lesson, Nature, let me learn of thee, Of toil unsevered from tranquility. TUM It is with trembling pen that one begins the short sketch of such a man as Turn. He has indeed been an outstanding figure in the piloting of the Ship of ' 25 through the troubled waters of learning. Turn borders on being one of those mythical individuals known as all-round men. The profs long ago placed him in that select few who are never placed on the riding lists. His athletic record is one of the best. He played on the football team, was one of the leading members of the tennis team, and was runner-up for the singles champion- ship of the state. In athletics, as in studies, Tum put all his effort into the matter, and the results in both were delicious and refreshing. Tum was given the highest honor that the Junior Class could confer on anyone, and he proved to be a trustworthy and de- pendable leader. As president of the juniors he conducted the Junior-Senior banquet with such skill as has rarely been witnessed. Tum ' s ability does not stop here, how- ever. It has been noticed that the young ladies whom he drags have never been wall flowers. He has an eye for beauty, and usually gets what he wants. Tum is a man in all senses, and we know that he will do a man ' s work in the world. Go to it, Tum. enior CI ass OSCAR WILLIAM LEVER, A.B.

Oskie Behold a ladies ' man who is no fool! Oskie seems to be adept at the art of mixing: strategy with love, for, although he has many admirers in the fair sex, he keeps them widely separated, and thus prevents them from comparing notes and checking up on him. Not content with being like the sailor who has a girl in every port, he must have a girl in every town, and more than one in the larger cities of the South. Despite his lady-killing propensities, Oscar has taken time during his college career to indulge in various other activities. As an athlete he is a man of no mean ability. As a member of the champion class football team in ' 23, and a prominent mem- ber of the varsity his junior year, he did well. He was prevented from playing this year only by a serious operation. Oskie has always been an active mem- ber of the Y. M. C. A., and has attended several of the conventions of that body. He has always taken an important part in the various kinds of religious work in the city and intends to enter the ministry after post- graduate work. With all these other activities consuming his time, Oscar has been able to find time to achieve the main purpose of a college — an education. In his classroom work, he is a man of great deeds, as is amply evidenced by the fact that he is earning his dip in three short years. In the line of endeavor he has chosen to enter, Oscar will surely achieve success, for he is abundantly endowed by nature with those qualities which help a man to go far in the world — honesty, industry, and a ready wit. enior Class MAURICE MARION LIPSCOMB, A.B.

IVait; my faith is large in Time, And that luhich shapes it to some perfect end. Mack Mingled with the unpicked lot of fresh- men that entered Wofford College in 1921. there came a straight, serious-minded youth, who answered to the name of Jesse McCoy, and with him came the sweet smell of the fields. In the process of elimination which followed, it was seen that there were many possibilities in this young man from Holly Hill. His classmates have seen him devote himself to his work, making a brilliant classroom record and rising to heights of honor in his college as great as any man can boast of. Beginning in his freshman year as a debater, he has displayed his forensic abilities on more than one field of victory. As an orator he also knows what it is to have won. His sterling character and rare quality of leadership have caused his college mates to choose him as president of their Y. M. C. A., and under his leader- ship the organization has taken a great stride forward. It is a young man of varied accomplish- ments that steps from our midst in the jierson of Mack, and not the least among his attainments is the ability to manipulate his fingers with marvelous skill over the ivory keys of the piano. He easily makes the young fellow restless on his feet as he jazzes through a fox-trot air, or causes envy to the lover of classical music as he plays Chopin or Beethoven with his wonderful touch and interpretation. Mack has ambitions of proving his edu- cation in a pedagogical career, and the in- stitution that gets him for an instructor will be fortunate indeed. In the years to come, we expect to hear of him with some half a dozen or more degrees on the end of his name that he probably expects to at- tain in higher institutions of learning, but he will never leave the hearts of those who were with him when he got his A.B. m enior CI ass CHARLES B.

Boney holds up to the bold tra- ditions of his state in being a true South Carolinian. He has, I might say, an abundant overflow of the good old Southern hospitality. Boney ' s scholastic record hits the high marks in Latin, Math, P. T., and such; but can the waltz — he craves excitement and action. Boney has always been an ardent sup- porter of his Alma Mater. He backs her activities and is always pulling for Woffoi ' d. He has also had his thoughts wrapped up in one that is held most dear. She is — why, of course — a blonde. He seems to have a weakness for the fairer fair ones. In his pursuit for a better half, he has con- stantly changed. It seems that his motto is, Keep what you ' ve got, and get what you can. In conclusion, Boney, as a student, is admired; as a classmate, he is loved; and we wish him great success in the future. §1 enior CI ass HERBERT H. McLAUGHLIN, A.B.

Mack Mack, as he is popularly known on the campus, came to us as a product of the Jonesville High School, after spending a few weeks at the Summer School. While not endowed with any marvelous physical ability, he has made up for this by his enthusiastic support of every activity on the campus, and anything that represent- ed Wofford. Mack, during his last year, came into prominence as president of the Snyder Hall Executive Committee, showing unusual abil- ity in directing the affairs that came under his jurisdiction. Quite often has Mack waxed eloquent in an attempt to stop the evi! of skeet throwing, and the extremely good order at Snyder Hall during the latter part of his administration might be at- tributed to these speeches. While not a ladies ' man, from the writ- er ' s observation, he seems to have all the home-town lassies under his control, but some better than others, judging from his occasional letters from Virginia and Win- throp. During his stay here, Mack, by his won- derful personality and his true friendship, has shown himself to be a lad of sterling qualities, and he has won his way into the hearts of all of us, and it is with a feeling of real regret that the Class of ' 35 bids farewell to him. We feel that he will be highly successful in his career as Cotton King, and we ex- pect to hear great things from him in the future. m ' 1 enior CI ass HOLLAND N.

As became a re- sourceful man, he has turned his height to excellent use, for he is the wizard of the court at Woftord. His proficiency in the an- cient and honorable game of tennis has been the wonder and admiration of the sidelines, and the downfall of his opponents. At any time of the year one can see him rushing off early in the afternoon, clad in flannels, bound for the park courts, the Country Club, or, less often, the campus courts, frequented by the common herd of dubs beneath his majestic notice. At dark, he returns with his trusty racket under his arm and the song of victory on his lips. Besides being a champ at tennis. Hol- land has demonstrated that he is an amateur pugilist of no mean ability. With all his accomplishments in the manly art and the royal game, he has other and more lasting points of excellence.

We are all sure he will go out into the world and show himself a true Woffordite and a successful man. To contribute to his success, Holland has an engaging manner, social poise, and a frank friendliness which presage for him the complete fulfilment of his high ambitions. The one thing that puzzles us in his make- up is his astounding modesty.

Some wag dubbed him ■ ' Military Merritt, and ever since this has been his name. Here, indeed, is a young man that will make his mark in the world. Endowed with an unusually bril- liant mind, and having been trained from childhood to regard truth, honor, and Justice highly, he is our choice as a splendid ex- ample of the ideal young Southerner. Injus- tice or wrong will arouse him, and he is fearless in condemning what is evil and upholding what is right. Military has an uncontrollable pro- pensity for shooting the profs. His scholaiship record at Wofford has been a very unusual one. His wisdom is not con- fined to mere book learning. but he also has the practical, common sense viewpoint and he sees things as they are. He is able to take care of any situation requiring a trained and cultured man, whether its nature be intellectual, social, or otherwise. As is the way with that felicitous im- mortal, Mr. Cupid has chosen one of our best as a target for his arrows.

At any rate, he goes to sleep and wakes up with his Jaw wagging, spout- ing some tale of his fantastic dreams which, even he, believes. Moreover, he can con- vince anybody of anything, or its opposite, at any time.

But what we tell you now, being absolutely confidential, and at the same time fit for publication in our best magazine, you may accept as authori- tative. No member of the Class of ' 25 has left a more indelibly happy impression upon his classmates than has Pat. At all times and at all places he furnishes the necessary fun, always clean fun, sparkling with the life of happy youth, and ever having as its purpose the betterment of his fellow-stu- dents. Pat ' s activities have not been her- alded before the world; his work has not been publicly and generally acclaimed, but it is, nevertheless, of that sterling worth which makes a man ' s life valuable to his fellows. Pat, in his quiet, inconspicuous way, is responsible for the fact that more than one freshman is an asset rather than a liability to his Alma Mater. Such worth as his must not go unnoticed. Therefore, we now commend to you a man who has already made a contribution to the welfare of the world. If Pat continues to show, as we know he will, this aptitude for influencing men, he can be nothing but a marked success. Let it be known, then, that the Class of ' 25 is proud to send out into the walks of life one who will so surely be a credit to the name of Wofford. 89 4-1 r|: ' ' . — 1 -(- : J -1 1 [-L : .. r enior CI ass ROBERT HOLROYD REAVES, A.B.

While we don ' t expect Bruno to go to France or Germany and teach either of the languages spoken there, we are looking for him to startle the world in the line of chem- istry.

But this is only one characteristic feature of Bruno. All that he does is done well and in the right way. It took some time for the fair sex in this city to find out what a friend Bruno could be, but when they did find him out — well, to make matters short, they wouldn ' t let the poor boy alone. Now, some of this might be Bruno ' s own fault, for he is also good in this line of work. Everything has an end, though, and this is the end of his stay with us. We all wish for him that he may have the very best of success in all of his undertakings, and, to prophesy a little, we feel sure he will be successful in all of them, if he will only follow the splendid example he has set for himself at dear old Wofford. )_JJ- ' r ' _-J .1 --l-Lj- Ji 91 JAMES OWENS RHOAD, A.B.

' Lawrence Physical strength, mental ability, integrity, personality — all of a superlative sort — are mingled in the person of All-State Riliard. To depict accurately in words such a char- acter as Lawrence ' s is impossible, because there is something in his personality that defies description, and will not be reduced to a formula. We think of Lawrence as, primarily, an athlete. For three years he has given his best on the gridiron. His hard and con- scientious work was recognized and rewarded by his teammates when they chose him for their captain; and his football career was fittingly crowned during his last year by his being chosen on the all-state mythical eleven. Yet, it isn ' t only in the realm ot sports that Lawrence excels. In the classroom, literary society, student government, and most of the activities ot the campus, he has won the honors that come only to students who are conscientious, willing, and able. And, yes, it has been rumored that his tongue is the glibest, his eyes are the seren- est, and his embrace the gentlest that ever wooed woman from the state of single-bless- edness. And yet, despite these failings, Lawrence is known and admired on at least two cam- puses. He commands the respect of the faculty, the admiration of the student body, and the adoration of the ladies.

Kid To the college, as well as to his class, Kid, throughout his entire college course, has always shown himself to be a loyal, in- dispensable asset. He has consistently dis- played real ability in all activities of stu- dent life. He is a friend to everyone, and the number of his friends is equal to the number of those with whom he has come in contact. Kid has made an admirable record at Wofford along all lines, but especially has he achieved distinction as an athlete. He has been one of the outstanding players on the football team for three years; and no better outfielder has ever clad himself in a Terrier uniform. His ability as an executive has been attested by the efficient manner in wTiich he, as president of the Honor System, has carried out its supreme pur- poses. His worth as a student and gentle- man is confirmed by the fact that he is a member of the Senior Order of Gnomes. Kid, each of us feels deeply Indebted to you for the many things you have done for the class and for your Alma Mater. We express our highest appreciation to you, and we not only predict for you a splendid future, but it is our sincere wish that you may win success in anything that you at- tempt. 3Ei 95 ■if ii ! 96 enior CI ass WILLIAM EUGENE RONE, A.B.

O. T. C. Good nature is the sign of a large and generous soul. Bill Bill has a distinct advantage over most of us — he has learned something useful in a practical way. He has learned to talk so that he can be understood. Like Demos- thenes, he had an impediment in his speech, but, unlike Demosthenes, he learned to talk over the telephone instead of putting rocks in his mouth. Bill did not have any de- sire to become an orator, but he did develop into a Romeo. In the flourishing- metropolis of Pauline, he learned the mercantile business from the ground up. He decided to put this knowl- edge into use, so he put up a canteen in Archer Hall. This commercial venture was quite a help to the boys, as it kept them from going- to class hungry. Bill is generous to a fault, as a num- ber of folks will tell you. Tliere must be some truth in these lines, Good nature is the sign of a large and generous soul. Bill is a proof of this. In the matter of classes, Bill has been successful except in one instance. ISnglish II is very hard to get off unless you can talk hard and fast, and Bill ' has only re- cently learned this. At Pauline, after completing the day in the store, Bill used to go after the cows. Some of these animals are contrary, and, in persuading- them to go home, he acquired speed and endurance. This got him a place on the track team, but as there were no cows included in the college meets, Bill was not so successful as he could have been. But, laying all jokes aside, Bill has a good bit of ability and stickability. With these requisites, he only needs a purpose to be successful. We think the purpose will soon appear, and then he will attain that goal. In bidding farewell to Bill, the Class of ' 25 does so with a note of sadness, but yet with the confidence that he will live up to the ideals of old ' 2.5. )enior Class GEORGE KILMER SINGLET ARY, A.B.

In doing iv iat ive ouglit, ive deserve no praise, because it is our duty. George Dear reader, you are gazing upon the lineaments of none other than our friend, George. If you are gifted in the gentle art of reading character from the physiognomy, there will be no need for you to peruse further this inadequate attempt at a verbal characterization of the gentleman. To come down to bare facts, one can look Georg e in the face and know that he is a man of high calibre, earnest of purpose, true to ideals, loyal to friends, and friendly to all. During his four years on the campus, George has shown us what real merit is. He has not blown his own trumpet and laud- ed himself to the skies, but quietly and un- assumingly he has lived his life, caring only to be taken for what he really is, and scorn- ing the inordinate covetousness of fame that ever marks the unworthy. The jovial demeanor so characteristic of him has won the admiration of many of the gentler sex, as well as the friendship of his fellow-student.s. George has not neg- lected the social side of his life, and his interesting flow of conversation and cheerful chatter have added zest to an otherwise dull evening. It is not alone, however, in the social line that his wit has found play. The doughty members of the faculty, after scour- ing the class in vain for a correct answer to the conundrums which they take so much delight in propounding, heave a sigh of re- lief when they can bring themselves to call on Mr. Singletary, for George shoots the required answer right back at them. Endowed with a genial disposition, a loyal heart, and a keen mind, he goes forth to conquer the world, and we are sure his con- quest will be a success. Ch enior lass FRED PUCKETT SIMS, A.B.

Fred Fred, as this most extraordinary young man is known, came to us from the wilds of Waterloo. He was about to venture forth into the game of life without going to college, but. much to his credit, he recog- nized, after two years, that it would not be safe to venture further without a Wofford dip. He entered the Class , of ' 25, stepped right into college life, and has advanced with his class easily with a record that is above the average. While Fred has been with us. he has made a host of good friends, not only on the campus, but in the City of Success as well; but for safety ' s sake we will not ven- ture further along- this line. While he has not been an active par- ticipant in any varsity athletics during his college career. Fred has shown the true Wofford spirit in being a booster, especially when there was anything that he could do for the Class of ' 2.5. Now that he is ending his college career, he has about decided to try his luck at the teaching ' profession for a while, before en- tering business. It is a strict secret to all outsiders, but we fee! that the intense friendship for a certain young teacher is the deciding factor in the case. Anyway, it would be safe to say that he has learned all his lessons from her. In whatever line of work Fred enters, we feel sure he will make a complete suc- cess, and we predict that some day Wofford will be proud to point to him as one of her noblest and truest sons. 98 Senior Class JOHN STOVER SLOAN, A.B.

John went three long years to New- berry College before he perceived his terrible mistake, but, being an exceptionally wise young man, he finally saw that Wbfford was the desirable place from which to take an A. B., and he made the splendid decision to come here for his senior year. Although he has only been with us the one year, John has shown us that he has the elements of a true Wofford man. We are very sorry that he was not a member of the noble Class of ' 25 from the drop of the hat, for he has been a most desirable member during his one year. Studious, quiet, unassuming, and gentle, he has won a place in our her ats as few others have. In the classroom he has done fine work. A Question propounded to Mr. Sloan usually is answered entirely to the satisfaction of the most exacting member of the faculty. Not only, however, in the line of studious- ness has John spent his time while here. It is rumored that in his one year with us he has broken more Spartanburg hearts than quite a number of those who have had a much longer time in which to ply the gentle art. We are loath to think, though, that John would be so cruel as to crush delib- erately the vital organ of a fair maid, and we feel sure he lets ' em down gently when it becomes necessary to break up. The world needs such men as John, and we know he will fill his place well and be a representative Wofford man. ass KLINE HOWELL SMITH, A.B.

He has that irrepressible manner of congeniality which has made for him many, many friends that are his friends indeed. He is not only congenial, but he is universally admitted on the campus to be one of our most intel- lectual men. His cold reasoning has been of inestimable value to the class on more than one occasion. Throughout his college career he has been distinguished by his tenacity of purpose, his profundity ot understanding, his keen insight into the problems that have confronted him, and his attitude toward what he termed his duty. The appreciation of his ability is shown by the number of responsible posi- tions he has held. His forensic ability is shown by the tact that he has been a par- ticipant m intercollegiate debates, oratorical contests, and was one of our senior speakers. In spite of his habitual serious air, he is endowed with an unusual sense of humor. His is the wisdom of many and the wit of one. Kline agreed with Jerrola when he said, Love ' s like the measles — all the worse when it comes late in life. In view of that fact, he has found the girl of his dreams. We hope that his J:ondest hope will sometime be realized. We believe that the fortunate one resides somewhere near Swansea. Great people come from there! K, you have the sincere wish of the class that yours will be a long and happy life. We know that if you apply those same principles of life in the future that you have applied in the past, it will be a successful one.

Such qualities we who have known Barry have found in him. He is one unafraid of life and ever forward-looking. In two fields this dark-eyed young man has been a crusader, namely: Music and love. As a singer he has brought sighs from many a buxom lass, but he flitters like a butterHj, from one to the other, leaving in his wake a path strewn with broken hearts. As a songster he is known and admired in many a hamlet throughout the state, and to him maj be accredited, in no small de- gree, the success of the Glee Club. In just what field Barry intends to ex- pend his energy we are uncertain, but we are sure that whatever it may be, he will prove of inestimable worth. ::_.tfL|jj3j:.r- lOI .ffl nil -jliln enior CI ass EDWARD WALKER SOJOURNER, A.B.

Slo Behold a paradox — the son of a preacher who is not a roughneck! Never was a name more suitable, for Slo has, in the course of his life, claimed thirteen different towns as his habitat. The metropolis in which he hangs his hat now, during Christ- mas and the summer months, is Rembert. Slo not only takes R. O. T. C, but he does R. O. T. C, where the fair damsels of many sections reside. If the canteen is ever closed, the most likely place to find him is the lobby or reception room at Converse. Though he does not aspire to be a tea- hound, his success with the ladies is marvelous because of its astonishing com- pleteness. If neither the army nor the business world gets him, Slo will be able to take a seat in the realm of abstracts and carry on the work of Edison and Steinmetz in the field of electricity, for he has taken all of Peg ' s courses while in college, and his only re- grets are that these courses are not unlim- ited in number. He has done considerable work in connection with Einstein ' s theory of relativity, but, as yet, his refutation and counter-theory are not fully prepared to be offered to the general public. His interest in applied mathematics is repsonsible for his great discoveries. Despite his Shylock-like propensities, Slo is a friend to everyone with whom he comes in contact. Be that as it may, we predict for him a brilliant future in any line of work he may enter, and we wish him the best of luck in all his undertakings. Senior Class DAVID RALPH SPEARMAN, A.B.

Dan The handsome young gentleman above might well have been the inspiration for the song, Dapper Dan. The meticulousness with which he chooses his attire and the easy grace with which he wears it are the goals toward which those who would achieve sartorial perfection are constantly, if unsuc- cessfully, striving. Dan is also an accomplished and versa- tile musician. He can get more music out of a tenor banjo than probably anybody that has ever come to Wofford, and the saxo- phone and the guitar acknowledge him as their master. Due to his obliging disposi- tion, he has often let himself be imposed upon and has spent many hours making life pass more pleasantly for his fellow students. Wofford is going to miss Dan very much; his genial manner and his con- sideration for others have made him many friends who are warm ones. The Class of ' 25 is proud to call him one of its members, and we predict for him a fine success such as a man of his gentlemanly qualities and sterling character deserves. t9 m % i ; Tr 103 i )enior CI ass FREDERICK ALTON STACK, A.B.

He is a friend to everyone in college. After Alton finished Pinewood High School, his thoughts natural- ly turned to an institution of higher learn- ing, and just as naturally the institution he first thought of was Wofford. So, for four years he has been here. Those have not been four years of perfect ease; and it is highly creditable to Alton that now, after guiding himself rightly along the path that every student desires to follow, he is to re- ceive his dip. More credit still is due him because of his classroom work. By no means has his course of study been made up of crips. He has taken some of the hardest courses in school, among them being psychology and Dune ' s History II. Alton has been a sincere supporter of all the activities and interests of his Alma Mater; he has done his share at all times. He has been faithful in meeting his duties, though it must be said that he very often has had other duties besides his clas- es. Yes. he shines among the fair sex. We are all expecting him to have a biil- liant career in whatever he undertakes.

Tom It was in the fall of 1922 that Boyd first made his appearance on Wofford campus. We were inclined to be rather dubious when he announced his intention of finishing in three years. Yet we could not help admiring his spunk, especially when we learned that he came to college from the Junior class at Carlisle School. But he has ac- complished his avowed purpose of proving our fears and dubiousness groundless, and now he is going out from our Alma Mater with his A.B. diploma tucked under his arm — just as proudly as any of us. Don ' t think that his sailing has been all smooth. He has had a little more than the average tough time of getting by the dean, and it was a pretty hard job for him to carry the weight of his social popularity in town along with his academic responsibility on the campus. But he has succeeded in both. We wish him well, and are expecting big things of him in the future, tor we know he has the ability, the will, and the char- acter necessary — all he needs is a chance; and the world into which he is going is full of big chances. 105 ii enior CI ass OLIVER G.

Not even the members of the faculty realized at the time he entered college, the fine type this newcomer was to become. But three years have passed, and here we are. German is one of the best members of the class. In scholarship he has climbed to dizzy heights. He is a member of the Three-Year Club, which is no small honor, and which gives evidence of his fine record in scholarship. Indeed, he seems to have been able to shoot all the professors with equal success. He is not a bookworm by any means, but he really does know his stuff. O. G. possesses those high qualities that make worth-while men. His rare traits have caused him to be liked by everyone. He is a type of man that everyone likes to be with. His good understanding of human nature ' .nd his keen sense of humor make him a real companion. German has chosen medicine for his pro- fession. We have no doubt but that he will be one of the best, too, for he usually suc- ceeds in whatever he undertakes. Natural gifts, hard work, true spirit, and sincere de- sire, all of which are found in German, make a combination that means success. Yes, German is to study medicine, but, girls, don ' t get sick, for he is already mar- ried. We are going to miss you, O. G.

Genius ivins sometimes ; hard work al- ivays. Bill In the fall of 1922, there appeared in our class a young lad who was direct from the jungles of Greenwood County. This lad was none other than Bill Tinsley. He claims as his native town, Hodges, and little does that city realize what an illustrious son she has. The boys who know Bill — and they all know him — recognize in him those qualities essential to the highest type of manhood; never in a grouchy mood, always willing to enjoy a good laugh, and, we might add, excels John Harris In sarcasm. As a scholar, he ranks among the first, as indicated by his ability to get the cov- eted dip in three years. But he is not a bookworm. The midnight oil is unknown to this gentleman, yet he has shot Uncle Gus, Mace, Heinle, and the rest con- sistently, and has for two years added his name to the honored distinction list. Bill has not stated his serious inten- tions yet, but those who have watched his progress, believe that he is fully capable of qualifying in any career he chooses. It is rumored that Bill ' s nature and dis- position are not wholly repulsive to the gentler of the species, and it is whispered that Dan Cupid has fully captured him. Bill is admired by all, for he is endowed with a wonderful personality, a cheerful dis- position, and a brilliant mind. One with this combination will know nothing less than suc- cess. We wish, and predict for him the best life has to offer. 107 ROY NORWOOD TOLLISON, A.B.

He has a good disposition, a friendly word, and a smile for everyone. He has been faithful and conscientious in his studies, and the reward is due him. Wofford is making no mistake in giving him an A.B. degree, for it can be truly said of him that he has earned his dip. Toll has been an untiring supporter of all the athletic teams of his Alma Mater. He has been dependable in meeting his liter- ary, athletic, social, and scholastic duties. In the social life at Wofford, Roy has held a high standing, and it is said he is a favorite among the fair sex wherever he goes. If, as we have been told so many times in chapel, your college life is an index to your later life, success, then, will be the result of Roy ' s endeavors in the business world.

To know him is to admire and like him, and for the past four years we have known him by no other name than Dave. It was not in the year 1921 that Dave made his tlrst ap- pearance upon the campus. As a son of a member of the faculty, he has lived here for a number of years. His whole life is filled with many fine qualities, and his character, which is purely that of a gentleman, is the great outstanding feature that has made that deep and lasting impression upon not only his classmates, but all those who have come in contact with him. It is pleasant when Dave is present with his smiling countenance. His pleasing con- versation and cheerful disposition always add much to life. Dave has rooted himself so deeply into our memories as never to be forgotten. By no means can we class Dave as a bookworm simply because of his fine records in scholarship. For four years he has been one of the leaders in his class on the distinc- tion list, but he has proven himself a genuine good scout.

He has peopled the Wofford College Jour- nal with some negro characters which live .iust as truly as do any created by Cohen or Wylie. His work has style to it, and, if he decides to become anything else ex- cept an author, the world will be the loser of some good literatui-e. To his literary ability, Don has added a keen mind that has enabled him to as- tonish the professors. And, withal, he has such a modest bearing and is so unassum- ing and quiet about it all that no one would ever make the mistake ot thinking that all his ability had given Don the big-head. His kindly smile and gentle manners have won a place in our hearts that no one else can fill. He never allows the rushing world to disturb the calm and tranquil view of life so characteristic of him.

His friends on the cam- pus are numbered by the scores; no one can help being the friend of one whose jest and conviviality are the very essence of his nature. The fair sex have at times laid siege to Jim ' s heart, but not for long. In- variably the besiegers hav e found him im- penetrable, for his heart is earnestly de- voted to hunting and fishing. In the sum- mer, Jim finds perfect bliss on the waters of the Little Pee Dee, where trout and bream abound, evidently longing for his flies and wriggling worms. One of Jim ' s favorite boasts is that he knows every nook and cove for many miles up and down his favorite river, the sparkling Pee Dee. Just approach him with the sub.1eet of hunting and fishing, fishing especially, and you will have won your way to an outburst of ardent dissertations on these rigorous sports. Jim is one of those men who love when they love, and hate when they hate. If you are his friend, you can rest assured that he will stick by you through thick and thin, for beneath an exterior of joking un- concern, Jim has a warm heart and deep sincerity. Regretfully we part with this youth, and we feel that when his face is on the campus no more a gap will have been made which will not be easily mended.

This veteran left- hander has twice pitched Wofford to the state championship. We salute you, ' Reg- gie, ' as the best in the state. It will be many, many days before baseball fans in the state will forget the name of Wolfe. As one was heard to say, Give Wolfe a lead and he can ' t be beat. We all know this of him by his record. Now, Reggie always takes time out on Saturday night to visit Converse, where he is noted as a man who holds a charm for the fairer sex. It is every freshman ' s am- bition to win the hearts of the ladies as Reggie has done. Everyone on the campus will miss the smiling little southpaw next year. The baseball team, the boys, and the faculty will all feel the loss ot this student. So, with his well-earned diploma as a step, we expect Reggie to keep his nerve, be steady in the pinches, and finally to fin- ish his career as a winner in the game of lite.

Our youth loe can have hut today, We may alnaays find time to groiu old. Tom When you look at the above-portrayed countenance, of course you judge the owner to be an enthusiastic suitor of Minerva. Well, so he is. But his accomplish- ments are not all scholastic and academic, by any means. Venus comes in for her full share of attention. In fact, there has been a powerful struggle between the two goddesses to decide which should prevail, Wisdom or Beauty. As becomes a resourceful man, Tom has kept both on his string — though none of us can give even a faintly logical guess as to how he can keep these two such jealous ladies so com- pletely satisfied; and he seems to do it with all ease, too! The only solution we have to offer is that Tom has been the Balm of Gilead to feminine hearts since his earliest youth. Yea, verily! He must have been the Little Lord Fauntleroy of the town in which he spent his childhood and young manhood. But. nevertheless, Tom has grown up to be a true man ' s man, and he has won a man-sized place in the hearts of the mem- bers of the Class of ' 25. As we reluctantly let him leave his Alma Mater to take upon his shoulders his share of the world ' s work, he carries with him our sincerest good wishes and hopes for a successful and useful life. 1 - 113 mm enior CI ass WILLARD KENDALL WYNN, A.B.

Red We are not going- to attempt any eulogy liere in the few words that we have to say for Willard. In the first place, to us who have known him as a friend, his life with us has been eulogy enough; and. in the second place, because his is the nature that asks for no eulogistic praise, but rather desires that liis deeds alone speak for him. When Willard first came to us after a year at Clemson, about the only thing- that we noticed was his bright red hair, from which he gets his title, Red. However, we were destined to know him soon through his versatile pen. One needs to say no more about his ability as a writer than to state that it was because of his skill in this phase that he was made editor of our magazine. The Journal. It has been under his guidance and through his tireless efforts that we have made a record by putting out a better magazine than has ever been Icnown at Wofford. He was not known on the athletic field, but was known as a steady, consc ientious student. He did not bestow his friendship promiscuously, but seemed rather to form only those friendships that might prove en- nobling- and rich. Then, we feel it an honor to have been counted among his friends. We know not what Willard may turn out in life. Yet, we feel that we can predict certain success for one so earnest and con- scientious in all that he does, and one about whom we can say that greatest thing possible, He was a gentleman in the truest sense of tile term. Our last word will be, then, Luck to you, Willard. We shall fol- low- you, because to Icnow you is to remem- ber yon always. r 1 By Kline H. Smith On September 13, 1921, on Wofford Campus, the assemblage of one hundred and sixty fresh- men, representing all sections of South Carolina, marked the beginning of the history of the Class of Twenty-five. Previous to its entrance, Wofford had never before received so large a class. And it might be stated in the beginning that, though Time has sifted its share, it has also left the largest number of men that Wofford has ever had to pass through the ultimate goal. But, along with its quantity, the history of the class will reveal its quality. To steer the class through its freshman year, and safely launch it on the sophomoric brink, the following men were elected as officers: S. M. Salley, president; D. A. Wallace, vice-pres- ident; H. F. Murph, secretary; S. J. McCoy, treasurer; and W. K. Child, historian. To athletics our class contributed, its freshman year, some of the outstanding players. Mozingo won his letter on the football field; R. R. Wolfe and H. F. Murph were the star pitchers on the baseball team, while F. W. Roberts, center fielder, and J. C. Moore, first baseman, displayed real art. W. K. Child played unusually well on the basketball team as center, and was uniquely classed in wielding a tennis racquet. On the track team, we were represented by B. G. Hartzog, L. S. Fairey, E. H. Dukes, and B. D. I.ee, who, later in his college career, is to be found eminently listed as captain of his team. In forensic activities the Class of Twenty-five has, throughout the four years, held a prom- inent position. We were represented in the freshman declamation contest by M. H. Lesesne, M. C. Woods, M. M. Hinson, D. B. Rhodes, F. C. Smith, J. K. Williams, J. G. Huggin, and C. C. Herbert, Jr. F. C. Smith was winner. The freshman intercollegiate debaters were: D. A. Wallace, S. J. McCoy, J. K. Williams, K. H. Smith, S. M. Salley, B. G. Hartzog, T. A. Myers, and W. R. Smith. In September, 1923, approximately one hundred of the original one hundred and sixty men returned to resume, as sophomores, the duties of their Alma Mater. The Sophomore Class officers were: W. K. Child, president; H. D. Lewis, vice-president; M. H. Lesesne, secretary; A. E. Carmichael, treasurer; and J. K. Williams, historian. Our sophomore year we were again well represented in all lines of college activities. Several new men made their appearance on the gridiron, among whom were W. L. Rikard, center, and F. W. Roberts, halfback. We had three men on the baseball team, two on the basketball team, two on the tennis team, and three cross-country men. T. A. Myers and C. C. Herbert represented us in the annual oratorical contest. In the sophomore oratorical contest, E. O. Shealy, K. H. Smith, M. C. Woods, Jr., D. A. Wallace, J. G. Huggin, and S. J. McCoy were speakers. S. J. McCoy was winner. T. A. Myers and L. J. Hammond were elected college marshals from our class its sophomore year. In the fall of 1923, eighty-four men returned to college as juniors. The class officers for 115 31 the junior year were: M. H. Lesesne, president; R. A. Durham, vice-president; T. A. Myers, sec- retary; M. C. Woods, Jr., treasurer; M. R. Dickson, historian. The record the class made its freshman and sophomore years was not only maintained, but was made better in all phases of activities, its junior year. We furnished the center and the halfback for the football team, the pitcher and the center fielder for the baseball team, two men for the tennis team, E. C. Best, captain, and several other members of the cross-country team. In forensics, T. A. Myers, R. A . Durham, and C. C. Herbert, Jr., were the varsity debaters from the Class of Twenty-five, who participated in the triangular debate with Carolina and the Citadel. S. J. McCoy, T. A. Myers, and R. A. Durham represented us in the annual oratorical contest our junior year. The junior debaters from our class were W. J. Lander, S. J. McCoy, R. A. Durham, and T. A. Myers. At the close of the junior year, realizing that the most important year of our college life was before us, and realizing that our senior year ' s work would require the best men of the class, the following were chosen as Senior Class officers: Ralph A. Durham, president; Theodore A. Myers, vice-president; Eugene C. Best, secretary and treasurer; William K. Child, poet; Kline H. Smith, historian; and J. Kendree Williams, prophet. To edit the various publications, we chose the following: The Bohemian, E. C Best, editor- in-chief, W. K. Child, business manager; T if Journal, W. K. Wynn, editor-in-chief, K. H. Smith, business manager; T if Old Gold and Black, R. A. Durham, editor-in-chief, B. G. Hartzog, business manager. During our senior year we furnished many of the men who represented Wofford in a forensic line. Wofford participated in three varsity debates our senior year — viz., a dual debate with Randolph-Macon, a dual debate with Erskine, and a triangular debate with Newberry and Presbyterian College. In the debate with Randolph-Macon, T. A. Myers and S. J. McCoy, from the Senior Class, won a unanimous decision of five judges. Myers and McCoy also won a like decision of five judges in the debate with Erskine. In the triangular debate with Presbyterian College and Newberry, from our class, T. A. Myers, S. J. McCoy, and R. A. Durham repre- sented Wofford. S. J. McCoy, R. A. Durham, K. H. Smith, T. A. Myers, and C. C. Herbert, Jr., were the speakers from the Senior Class in the annual oratorical contest. R. A. Durham was winner. In February the following men were chosen as senior commencement speakers by the class and faculty: T. A. Myers, K. H. Smith, B. G. Hartzog, D. A. Wallace, C. C. Herbert, and S. J. McCoy. Captain W. L. Rikard piloted the Terrier football team very successfully during the 1924 season. The outstanding game of the season was that in vs-hich Wofford walked over Presbyte- rian College to the tune of 19 to 7. Other members of the Senior Class on the football team, who valiantly bore the name of Terrier, were F. W. Roberts, M. H. Lesesne, and V. D. Moorer. On the baseball team our class had two members who had completed four years of praise- worthy playing. These men were: E. W. Roberts, captain and center fielder, and Reggie Wolfe, assistant captain and pitcher. To other sports the Class of Twenty-five contributed freely its senior year. W. K. Child, captain of the basketball team, completed his fourth year, playing center. Francis Collins, for- ward, pla3 ' ed in beautiful fashion his senior year. Child, Lesesne, and McTyiere represented us on the tennis team. Child and Lesesne gave the class the unique distinction of possessing both the state champion and the runner-up, respectively, for the championship of the state in tennis singles. On the cross-country team we had the following men: B. D. Lee, captain; C. L. Eaddy, and C. C. Herbert, Jr. Now, as we have completed our four years here together as friends, and are to enter a world more vast, where humanitv will justly demand of us upright, able leadership, may the true spirit of our Alma Mater ever accompany and sustain us, and may humanity, in its expecta- tions, be not disappointed in us. n -1 -( i By J. Kendree Williams Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 8, 1965. Mr. R. V. Kirton, President Merchants Farmers Bank, Aynor, S. C. Dear Dumpy: While I was in Orangeburg last week, presiding at court, I ran into a number of our old classmates. Our ex-president, Clea Cockfield, was in town, looking after one of his many land development schemes. He had just returned from Europe, and he told me of some wonderful experiences he had had at Monte Carlo. He said that on a recent trip to Myrtle Beach he passed through Aynor and called on you in your new ten-story building. He was very favorably impressed with your bank, saying that it had $60,000 capital stock and $75,000 in deposits. I have had some very interesting cases up in court this session. The most inter- esting one was the trial of Jesse McCoy, our old classmate. He was charged with assault and battery. His wife claimed he had beaten her for staying at a bridge party until 10:30. He was found guilty, and I was forced to sentence him to two years on the county gang. Reggie Wolfe was the lawyer for the defense. The pros- ecuting attorneys were T. A. Myers and K. H. Smith. Pig Lever was the star witness for the defense. He was holding a meeting in the county, and he had come to town to ask Jesse ' s advice. Another surprising case was that of Nigger Moorer. He was sueing the A. C. L. for running over one of his fine mules. His plea was upheld by Bull Durham, while the attorney for the railroad was the eminent lawyer, B. G. Hartzog. While talking, I found out where many of our old classmates were. Chesley Herbert is presiding elder of the Marion District. He is ably assisted in his work by Scatter- brain Dukes, who is a preacher of the old shouting Methodist type. Quite a number of our classmates are preachers, the most prominent of whom are Oscar Cal- houn, Paul Daniel, and Branch Rivers. It is said that Brooks Cooley and Boyd Thompson are evangelists. Judge DuBose is their advance man. Some of the other preachers are Jim and Mac Huggin, R. C. Folk, and Lane Merritt. These four seem to have taken the saying of Charles McNiel to heart: Preachin ' s easy an ' teachin ' s easy, so I think I ' ll give ' em a trial. I am down here with Dr. Jennings. He has the largest hospital in Florida, for wealthy patients only. Doc still likes to play golf, so we usually play about all day. A good many people winter down here; Oyster Arant, manager of the New York Giants, is here. Stumpy Banks, the man of department store fame, has a winter home in Miami, and I am going over to see him next week. Count Lan- ham ' s naval band is going to give a concert here tonight. I was surprised to hear that John Bruce is not a member. It seems that he practiced medicine until he was tried for criminal negligence. He is now playing in a circus band. The boys have scattered all over the country; for example, Big Dick Lee ran to Portland, Oregon, and hasn ' t had energy to start back, and, besides, he has forgotten the way. I think he passed Shorty Bostick on the way; you know Shorty is one of those walking cranks, who has walked all over the country on bets. Our contribution to the realm of education has had the element of quantity, if not quality. W. T. Wright and W. D. Tinsley are president and dean, respectively, of a Northern university. Lawrence, Blair, and Bates are college professors, while both Bonnettes, Dunlap, Epton, and Reaves are small town superintendents. McLaugh- lin is professor of English at Converse. Easier is headmaster of a school of his own. Bruno Reed has succeeded Frog Waller as professor of chemistry at Wofford. Among the prominent editors of today is Gene Best, editor of the Century Magazine, and chief contributor and owner of the Pacolet Independent. Everyone thought Red Wynn would be a journalist of note; he is, as editor of the Police Gazette. Bony McFadden is the most spectacular operator on the New York Exchange; one day he is worth millions, and the next he is broke. George Singletary is president of a well-known brokerage firm, and is considered an authority on investments. He and Bill Rone are still working together, as Bill is his information seeker, and very seldom is his judgment wrong. We all know where they got their experience. The election for mayor of Waterloo has just resulted in a victory for Fred Sims. Butler Boyd and Joe Cantey are prominent members of the House of Representatives, and Joe has quite a reputation as Speaker of the House. About two months ago I was the principal speaker at a W. O. W. convention in Spartanburg. Bobo has followed in the footsteps of his father; he runs an under- taking establishment, and is Grand Exalted and Highly Worthy Ruler of that district. Francis Collins has organized a chain of stores, and has covered the entire South with them. His system is unique in that the manager of every store is one of his brothers. It is reported that Maxcy Clyde, their lawyer, is the brains and organizer of the system. The record of Charlie Davis is like that of Ernest Burwell, of our day— he led the state last year in the sale of Fords, and has thereby put Manning on the map. Bill Child and McTyiere are still playing tennis; they won f fth place in a tournament at Miami. Bill ' has a lot of real estate, and is living on the profits P5 fT , of last year ' s sales. Mac is one of the leading chemists of the country, being con- sulting chemist for the V.-C. Fertilizer Company. Turn Lesesne, their tennis part- ner in college, has revived Hastoc, and is headmaster. You probably know more about Maxcy than I do, but I have heard of Dickson ' s Fancy Bantams; is it true that he is still teaching at Spring Branch? The firemen ' s convention is to be held at Columbia, and I am to speak there. Dunbar ' s Orchestra is to furnish the music. The invitation was sent me by Russ Floyd, head of the Columbia department. Lipscomb is to be there, as he is chief in Spartanburg. In school, the stickability of some of our classmates was noticeable, and it seems to have been lasting. Dave Wallace, for instance, was the guest of honor at a banquet given by the First National Bank. He was given a gold watch and promoted to the position of teller for long and faithful service as bookkeeper, having served in that capacity for forty years. It is rumored that he ' used the same adding machine all the time. Bill Kinney is owner of a big hospital in Bennettsville, and is making good. I was there not long ago, and an orderly stopped me and shook my hand, while telling me how glad he was to see me. I asked who he was, and he said it was Doc Gramling, of infirmary fame. Kid Roberts is still called Kid, but the sport writers speak of him as the grand old man of baseball. J. O. Patterson won the billiard championship of the world, and he has held it for four consecutive years. WofEord put out a championship team last year as a result of the new system of coaching introduced by Lawrence Rikard. Red Eaddy runs a store at Half Moon, and is chairman of the school board, as yvell as superintendent of the Sunday school. Sloan had been forgotten until he found the missing link in Asia Minor. He is now considered one of the best geologists and archaeologists of the day. The fame of Don West is greater than that of Octavus Roy Cohen of our day. Last year his income was around two million dollars. You remember what a clumsy and ungainly fellow Roy ToUison was? He now conducts a dancing school that ranks with the best. You know what a mania Runt Lander had for going out for teams? Well, lately he went out for Congress upon the advice of Bull Durham, and was defeated by a two to one vote. The greatest ambition of Peter Fairey has been attained, and he has reached his long-sought goal, station master at Branchville. It is almost time for me to go golfing with Doc, but I will take a few min- utes to tell you about a few of our other classmates. The pathetic case of Sis Gallman has attracted the attention of specialists all over the country. Some say that he is unbalanced on the subject of psychology, and others contend that he is unusually brilliant. At any rate, he was arrested as a public nuisance for trying to dip all the water out of the ocean on a bet. In Spartanburg the holding company composed of Messrs. Gibbs, Hudson, and Stack operates to control all the drug stores and restaurants of the city. The members of our class have covered all fields; 119 5 3i Sojourner is now an eminent authority on electricity; he claims that he will define electricity within the next two years. Dumpy, if you can get off, come down, and we can play golf a day or two, and, with Cockfield, Bob, and one or two others, we can call a session of Congress. If anything new turns up, let me hear about it. Sincerely yours, Jim. P. S. — I had just finished this, but had not sealed it, when the paper boy dashed in, and, of course, I dropped the letter and glanced through the paper. You can imagine my surprise when I saw that the Southern medicos ' convention had just ended at Spartanburg with a farewell speech by Mayor Fleming, of The City of Success, and a response of thanks by Dr. J. O. Rhoad, retiring president of the association. Dr. O. G. Thompson was elected president for the coming year. I am as much a radio fan as I am a golf enthusiast, so you can imagine my sur- prise when I saw in the day ' s radio program that Dan Spearman and his orchestra were going to broadcast a few selections from Station KATY, East Pittsburgh, Pa., and that the famous lyric tenor, Lambert Hammond, had finally acquiesced to the wishes of the public, and was going to give a few selections from The Messiah from the same station. A note from the Musical Journal says that W. Ralph Smith, director of the famous festival chorus at Spartanburg, has secured him to sing at the festival on Artists ' Night. It is rather unusual that he should be secured to sing at the place where he received his first training. I also saw in the paper a note which grieved me deeply. It said that no hope was held out for the recovery of Q. E. Gunter, missionary to Africa, who had been lost for five days in the jungles of the Dark Continent. Poor man! J. K.

We have the honor and distinction of being the largest class that has ever entered Wofford College. In two years, due to various reasons, there has been a decrease in our ranks, but nevertheless, there are still over one hundred juniors. It has been said that the best gifts have usually been found in the smallest packages; but this does not prove to be a true statement in the case of the Class of ' 26. In our ranks was the largest number of three-year men that has ever entered with a single class. Not only in scholarship has our class achieved great success, but also in all other phases of college activity. In athletics we have done exceedingly well. The following members of our class have made football varsity block W ' s — Reames, Knotts, Wells, Wright, Bell, Pressley, West, Thackston, AlcDow, Cantey, Lewis, Alexander, and Haynesworth. In basketball we were represented by Knotts, Dixon, Wells, Collins, and Carlisle. We furnished Moseley, Arant, Pettigrew, West, Blakely, McDow, Thackston, and Stuart for the baseball team. We supplied the track team with Melton, Kay, Holroyd, Bell, Pressley, Hall, and Lybrand. For the first two years the class officers were: FRESHMAN CLASS B. E. Lewis President E. H. Gregg Vice-President J. M. Gibson Secretary S. R. Easterling Treasurer W. L. KiNNEV Historian ■ ■ SOPHOMORE CLASS B. S. Stuart President A. W. Wells Vice-President W. L. Kinney Secretary A. D. Wright Treasurer B. E. Lewis Historian At the end of our sophomore year we elected the following officers : S. B. Knotis, Jr President A. W. Wells Vice-President C. G. Ivey Secretary S. R. Easierling Treasurer W. L. Kinney Historian After one more year, most of our members will begin their life careers. As Seniors in Wofford College, we hope to make the best of our opportunities and be shining ex- amples as fourth-year men after which others will be proud to follow. To be a credit to our institution by living successful lives of service and accomplishment is one of our dearest desires, and now, as we are on the portals of leadership in college and nearing the gates through which we will meet the problems of the world, we wish to make the most earnest resolutions to increase our endeavor to be of the most benefit to our fellow men and our Alma Mater.

H. in IS. Sopkomore Class History ERHAPS no class that has ever been at Wof¥ord could have boasted of as many honors during its sophomore year as the Class of ' 27. We entered college in September, 1923, one hundred and fifty strong. All of our freshman athletic teams made excellent records and showings. E. D. Law and H. J. Bennett on the affirmative side, and Marion Michaux and W. J. McLeod on the negative, composed our freshman intercollegiate debating team. The affirmative defeated Newberry. The Freshman Declamation Medal was won by H. J. Bennett, Frank Exum taking second place. We elected as officers for our freshman year : E. D. Law President F. A. Dean Vice-President W. N. SwETT Secretary H. J. Bennett Treasurer W. J. McLeod Historian When we came back to Wofford to begin our sophomore year, seventeen of our class failed to return. Several new men, however, entered our class. The record made in football by members of our class during the sophomore year deserves special mention. Blocks were made by Folk, Hill, Dean, Lawton, Habel, and Latimer. Hill, Latimer, Habel, and Lawton made the first eleven. Gabe Hill earned a place on the mythical all-state team. Three of the five members of the cross-country team — Varn, Maw, and Hutchison — were sophomores. Hutchison was elected captain for next year. Probably no class in the history of Wofford can equal the record we have made in basketball. The five men to start off the first varsity game of the season were all members of our class — Habel, Lindsey, Staples, Bourne, and Kennedy. As this annual goes to press, five members of the Class of ' 27 seem to have cinched places on the baseball team. But not only in athletics is our class outstanding. H. J. Bennett is one of Wofford ' s best speakers; F. E. Exum is one of the three college cheer leaders. We have in our midst a goodly number of brilliant minds, as is shown by the numerous members of our class in such organizations as the Pi Kappa Delta Honorary Forensic Fraternity and the International Relations Club. We have representatives on the Honor Council, Glee Club, Hall Executive Committees, and The Journal and The Old Gold and Black staffs. We have eight members on the Friendship Council, and a large number in the ministerial band. We elected as officers for our sophomore year: H. J. Bennett President F. E. Exum Vice-President G. C. Hill Secretary G. L. Varn Treasurer J. A. McCain Historian We hope that in the next two years we can surpass the record we have made thus far. We hope we can do honor to our college and to ourselves. And in the future, when the hands of time and destiny have laid us bare to the scathing gaze of the world, we hope it will be only with pride that Wofford College will look upon us as alumni.

Freskman Class History N SEPTEMBER, 1924, we entered Wofford College with high hopes and ambitions. As we watched with awe the noble Seniors while they strolled about the campus, we wondered if we would ever attain that goal. Fears and apprehensions arose in our minds as we turned our thoughts on the near future and the trials and situations that it would bring; but we were comforted with the fact that only four short years of glorious opportunities lay between us and the realization of that dream. So we dug in with our toes, crouched low for the start, and, at the crack of the pistol — or rather, at the first peal of the college bell — we sprang into the stride with all our energy bent upon our task. And excellent was our start, if we can take the compliments of our professors at their face value, which I am sure we can do. Even though the change of environment was rather abrupt, we adapted ourselves to our new surroundings in a fitting manner, losing only a few on account of dissatisfaction with the different mode of living. Our first class meeting was called, and, as such a class meeting usually is, we had a hilarious time. Out of the confusion and discussions, we elected as Vice-President, Lynn Brabham, a promising young lad from the city by the Edisto. Later on, we elected William Nettles as Secretary, and intrusted our funds ( ?) to George Harper. For some reason, which the author has yet to discover, the Class of ' 28 held a grudge) against a fellow classman, so they proceeded to take vengeance by ushering him into the Chair of History, much to the grief of our present readers. After Christmas, we bestowed the honor of President upon Warren Derrick, and he has acquitted him- self well of this responsibility. Thus the executive body of our class was formed. It grieves me to relate here the only thing that has marred our happiness since the formation of the Class of ' 28. On the evening of February 16, one of our mem- bers was claimed by his Maker, and he passed out into the Great Unknown. Man- ton Steele, a fine young man from Olanta, S. C, during a friendly boxing match, died from heart failure. A pall of grief and sorrow settled down over this campus, and everyone felt the sincere respect and reverence paid to his memory. Dear class- mate, even though you will no more climb these steps with us and walk this campus with us, you will always be in our hearts and minds. Harry W. Kingman, Historian. 144. -JBI William K.

EDITORIALS A Tea-Hounu ' s Discourse on Womanhood The thought has been thoroughly scattered that we present-day balloon-trousered, greased- haired college boys are void of, or greatly lacking in, common sense. We have been compelled to face such serious accusations, or bold inferences of such, so frequently that we are rapidly be- coming calloused to what the world thinks. Since there are often more serious moments in our lives than the casual observer gives us credit for, and since there are less frequent visitations of serious thought accompanied by these aforementioned serious moments, we wish to take advantage of one that has been in our minds (yes, we are quite certain that we, too, have minds), and let you judge for yourself whether we are something more than we seem to be or not. The following is not the thought of the writer alone, but it is the thought that prevails over our cam- pus as expressed among the boys themselves. It will doubtless be read with about as much credulity as we usually give to a fairy tale; but, regardless of the presence of incredulity, preju- dice, or what-not, it comes sincerely, not from one college boy, but from college boys in general. Underneath all our apparent superficiality there still lives, almost unchanged, a sincere and high respect for womanhood in general, and Southern womanhood in particular. Oh, yes, we all go to the dances, parties, and to everything where Good Time may possibly be a guest also, but the average girl whom we meet and who attracts us momentarily, seems to have lost the charm of permanent attraction. Need I add, parenthetically, that we Tea-Hounds are aware of the fact that we have always recognized the absence of any type of charm or attraction in ourselves? A typical group of the above-mentioned type of college boys recently had one of those rare moments of seriousness, their conversation, as nearly as I can give it, being as follows: A. : Oh, well, I had a pretty good time last night, but those girls were about as silly as I have ever seen them. B. : You said it! That ' s the only way they think they can give a fellow a good time, though. — —Vr- ISO w= THE OLD GOLD AND BLACK PUIiLISHED WEEKLY BY THE STUDENTS OF WOFFOKD COLLEGE Entered as second-class matter October 1, 1917, at the postofflce at Spaitanburg, South Carolina, under Act o£ March 3. 1879.

Repre- sented. On the twenty-sixth of this month, the convention of the Southern Association of Interna- tional Relations Clubs will meet in Spartanburg. Wofford and Converse Colleges will act as hosts to the delegates, who will come from both men ' s and women ' s colleges from all over the South. Virginia, North and South Caro- lina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and possibly Tennessee, Mississippi and West Virginia will be repre- sented. The delegates from men ' s colleges will be entertained by members of the Wofford faculty and by friends of the institution in the city. The women delegates will be the guests of Converse College. Mr. Beale, secretary of the Spartanburg Chamber of Com- merce, has very kindly offered the full co-operation of that organiza- tion in placing and entertaining the delegates. We know that any- thing that the Chamber of Com- merce sponsors will go over big. This is an excellent opportunity for the advantages of Spartan- burg to be proclaimed to the world. Worlord to Be Host to Intercol- legiHte Racquet .Stars April 29 to May 1. Wofford College will be the host to the annual intercollegiate tennis tournament of South Caro- lina, April 29 to May 1. Wofford feels highly honored in having the tournament held here, and is mak- ing preparations to entertain the event in real style. Work has been started on three new courts in the rear of Carlisle Hall. When these are completed, there will be six good courts on the campus. Wofford holds a high place in tennis circles in South Carolina, W. K. Child, of Wofford, having won the state championship in singles last year. Child is also president of the South Carolina Intercollegiate Tennis Association. Holland McTyiere, another Wof- ford man, holds various honors, among them being state cham- pionship of North Carolina in doubles. Turn Lesesne, another Wofford racqueteer, was runner-up for the state championship last year. Wofford men are practicing hard in an effort to keep the singles trophy and add to it the doubles cup this year. 152 Is Scheduled to Come From Press By May 23 — Sponsor Section to Be Feature. Gene Best and his fellow nighthawks have been busily at work on The Bohemian since the Christmas holidays. The first shipment of pictures was mailed to the engravers Wednesday. According to present plans, The Bohemian should come from press by May 23. This year ' s annual will be a decided improve- ment over that of last year in a number of respects. This year ' s volume will contain over three hundred pages and will be bound in a rich grade of black leather. The words, The Bohemian, and the date, will be embossed across the top in burnt bronze, while the college seal will appear in the lower right-hand corner. The seniors, as usual, will each have a page. The junior pictures will be arranged ten to the page, while the sophomores will have twenty to the page. The fresh- men will have a group picture.

Wright R. R. Wolfe _ A Review of Coach Major sounded his whistle for football practice to begin on September 2, and about fifty candidates answered this call. Coach Sutton, our new assistant coach, who immediately became a great favorite with the boys, was introduced to the boys; old friends greeted each other, and talked over the prospects for a winning team. In a few days the plays were given to the different teams, and real scrimmage began. On September 18 twenty stalwart Terriers, with Coaches Major and Sutton and Manager Child, chartered a coach to meet the famous Flying Squadron of V. M. I. on the following day. In the first half of the game, in a field of mud, V. M. I. amassed thirty-three points before the game little Terriers could get over their stage-fright. Between halves Coach Major told the players of their mistakes, and pleaded with them to fight with all their might for old Wofford. They went back into the fray with that Terrier spirit, and held V. M. I. scoreless for the rest of the game. The next week we met Piedmont College on a field of mud, and gave the Georgians a severe beating. October 4 was an off day for the Old Gold and Black, and the Citadel defeated us, 19 to o. On the following Saturday the Terriers took a trip to Davidson to meet our old rivals, the Wildcats. It was a great game, and Wofford covered herself with .glory, even though she was beaten by an unlucky blocked punt in the last few minutes of the game; score, 7 to o. On October 16 the crippled Terrier team played Oglethorpe in Anderson. The first half we held them well, but during the last half of the game Wofford ' s lack of reserve strength became apparent, and the Petrels piled up twenty-seven points, while we were unable to score. The following week Erskine came up for a scrimmage, and, after a hard fight, Kid Roberts booted one straight between the bars for the necessary points to win — 3 to o. At the Fair we met our rivals, P. C, whom we had not defeated in eight years, and revenge was sweet. Wofford carried the fight to them, and, with every man on the team fighting, we overwhelmed them to the tune of 19 to 7. On the following Saturday we went to Macon to play Mercer. They won, 17 to o, but the score does not indicate the closeness of the game. At the end of the half in the Trinity game the score was o to o, but two bad breaks gave them a 12 to o victory over us. Again, on Thanksgiving Day, luck was against us, and Newberry won , 16 to 7. Wof- ford put up a great fight, and she should have w ' on, but for a series of unfortunate breaks at the very beginning of the game, and the educated toe of Rhiel. Basketball practice began early this year on account of the lack of experience of the can- didates for the team. Only one letter man returned this year, so the forward and guard posi- tions were plaved bv sophomores, coming up from last year ' s freshman team. With the veteran Bill Child playing center, Lindsay and Captain-elect Habel at forwards, Bourne and Kennedy at guard, as regulars, and Francis Collins, Gabe Hill, and Bo Knotts acting as substitutes, Wofford enjoyed a fairly good season. While we won only about fifty per cent of our games, the season was considered a success. Wofford and the New York Giants have a habit of winning championships, and we are sure that this year will be no exception with Wofford. As this goes to press, we have played only one game, Wofford winning over Erskine by a 7 to i score. In this game Reggie Wolfe was in midseason form, giving up four hits and striking out fifteen men. He performed the unusual by striking out four men in one inning. Our prediction is that by May 20 he will have beaten his record of last year of striking out over one hundred men, and that Wofford will have won her third consecutive undisputed championship. Athletics 190 J. p. Major H. M. Sutton W. K. Child John P. ( Rip ) Major In 1921 Wofford ' s athletics were at a low ebb; something had to be done to improve them, so the alumni and faculty got Rip Major as head coach, and since that date Wofford ' s teams have steadily improved. Coach is the idol of the student body, and the boys who play on his teams love him. Rip is a man with a personality as well as a fine knowledge of sports, and we feel indeed lucky in having him with us next year. Under his guidance, we feel sure that Wofford ' s football team will be the premier team of South Carolina next fall. ■ Harry M. ( Wop ) Sutton Harry Sutton came to us as our assistant coach in football, fresh from the school of ex- perience. His ability to impart his knowledge of football tactics to the boys on the gridiron some may equal, but none excel. Coach Sutton has not only the ability to tell you what to do, but he has also the ability to show .vou how to do it. He has made many friends on the campus, and it is with much regret that we lose such a valuable man. Wherever he goes next year, we predict for him and his teams success. Mm W. K. ( Bill ) Child, Manager Bill is a boy who knows how to get things accomplished, and that ' s the essential quality for a good manager. He looked out for the best interest of the squad on all occasions, and has that keen ability of making a little bit go a long way. We have often wondered whether he didn ' t have a few classes under J. K. Lawrence Rikard, Center, Captain To Captain Rikard, our physical culture man, is due much ot the credit for our success this year. Acting in the capacity of captain, he was cool and quielt. As a defensive player he was tirm and steady, and on numerous occasions he broke through the opposing team ' s line to throw them for a loss. On offense he could open up a wagon hole for the backs. He was a true passer, a tact which prevented many fumbles. Rikard was chosen as center of the all- state team this year. Bo Knotts, Tackle, Captain-Elect Bo Knotts, giant Wofford tackle, was easily the best tackle in the state last year. For his wonderful playing and his ability to lead, we have chosen Bo to captain us next year. Knotts will be a fighting captain of a fighting team. His playing was a feature in every game Wofford played this year. During liis three years of college football, he has thrown many ambitious halfbacks for losses. We have much con- fidence in our leader for 1925. Kid Roberts, Halfback Kid is light, but, gee, how he can pick ' em up and lay ' em down — almost too fast for the human eye to see. It is a wonderful sight to see the fleet little halfback clip off yards around the ends. Kid is one of those fellows who had rather die than see the opposing team gain a yard, and this kind of fight has made him a terror on defense. He is a fine receiver of a pass, for he catches it with form and ease. Kid has finished a brilliant career on the gridiron, and it is with the deepest regret that we say goodbye to this bright young star. Tom Pressley, Tackle Well, Wofford does not have to worry about a right tackle for next year. Hard Boy Pressley, veteran of many hard-fought battles, will return to play the position that he has played so nobly for the past two years. Since the day he entered Wofford, he has been a tower of strength on the gridiron. Time after time we have seen Hard Boy slam opposing backs to the ground for losses. Tom is not only a great defensive tackle, for he is equally good on the offense. We are indeed glad that this savage tackle will be with us ne.Kt year. Gabe Hill, Halfback Gabe came to us in ' 23 from Spartanburg High School, where he had a remarkable record as a foot- ball player. His first year in college he was captain of the freshman team. This year, he was a regular on the varsity. His pep and what seems to be his natural football ability have combined to gain for him the confidence of coach, squad, and student body. When our team needs a gain, we call on Gabe. To fill a weak place on the secondary defense, Gabe is switched over. He was chosen as all-state halfback this year. We are glad to have him back, with us next year, and we believe he will do even greater things in football. ' Num Bell, Fullback a) Num Bell is one of the hardest driving backs that South Carolina has seen since the great Dode Phillips. He can hit that line for five yards almost every time you give him the ball. His wonderful play has given him a reputation all over the South as a great fullback, and truly, he is a great one. Num is a hard worker, a steady trainer, and he puts his whole heart into the game. It is the ambi- tion of many narrow-chested freshmen to hit the line like Num Bell. I ook out, opposing teams, for Num will be back next year. Frog Reames, Quarterback Wliat shall we call this liandsome youtli ? He looks lil e a frog, but he hangs on ' em like a bulldog. Reames is the best defensive back tliat ever wore a Terrier uniform; and one of the best that ever wore a cleated shoe. In the Mercer game his play was the feature. Little ole Frog is fast and scrappy, and he can size up a play with lightning-like rapidity. Besides being a great defensive back, he was our best in interference, and we welcome him back to Wofford next year. Dode McDow, Guard Attention! Here is that scrappy guard from York. He likes to play the game as much as he likes to talk it, so you can readily imagine that he is fond of football. He came to Woftord in ' 22 from Hastoc School. He played center on the freshman team, and what a scrappy center he was! Since then, lie has been on tlie varsity at center and then at guard, which position he held down this year. Dode is a clever football player, and one who puts all the fight and energy he has into the game. The squad has shown its admii ' ation and confidence in him by elect- ing him Alternate Captain for next year. Asbury Wright, End This boy from Anderson is really a clever end. This is his second year on the varsity, and we are pleased to know that we will have him again next year. Asbury plays safe and hard, and when a man gets around his end, you can count on three of his in- terferers being out of the way. He gets down under the punts, and he makes old Mother Earth quiver when he tackles. We are counting on big things from Asbury next year. Jim Latimer, Quarterback The pride of Honea Path came to Wofford in ' 23, He was discovered as a good quarterback in our fresh- man game with Clemson in ' 23. This year he gen- eraled the varsity a large part of the time. Just like he finds the Path to Honey in his home town, he can find the path to an opponent ' s goal line. He is quick, game, and cool-headed, all of which are good qualities for a quarterback to have. Jim will be even better as a quarterback next year, for he is one that works hard and profits by experience. ZXXZ Pike West, Halfback Pike West is really a great football player. He can kick, pass, and run. Pike played safety man, and to see him bring a punt back through a broken field fills the hearts of all Wofford supporters with joy. Pike is a sturdy, consistent player, having never fumbled since entering Wofford three years ago. He is also a good kicker, booting them high and far away. The Terriers are lucky to have him back an- other year. Andy Wells, Halfback This Alabama Flash is one of the fastest men on the squad. This is his third year at Wofford, and each year he shows better form. Andy is our most consistent gainer on end runs. His speed, plus his ability to sidestep, makes him one hard man to stop in an open field. Our opponents always have Wells spotted beforehand, yet this fleet-footed back man- ages to get away for good gains. We hope he will be w-ith us again next year to have the most suc- cessful year of his football career. Hugh Folk, Halfback Hark! Dizzy Folk, the Fairfax marvel and punter de luxe, now enters. This was Folk ' s first year on the varsity, since lie came up from last year ' s fresh- man team. This lad is a triple threat man of no mean ability. He runs the ends well, hits the line hard, and, oh! how he can kick the ole pigskin. It has been many a day since Wofford could boast of a more promising back than the boy from Fairfax. Hugh, we expect great things of you next year. We know you will gain lots of ground for us, and we expect your mighty toe to keep the ball out of Woftord ' s territory. Baker Haynesworth, Guard Baker played end on the scrub team last year, but this year he was shifted to guard on the varsity, where he developed into a real star. His fighting spirit was always an inspiration to the rest of the team. This boy can play any position in the line with equal ease. When Pressley was injured in the Newberry game, Baker went in and played a great game at tackle. We are mighty glad to have him back, and we feel sure that he will be one of the best linesmen in the state next year. Cotton Alexander, Guard Cotton is a quiet and unassuming type, but that doesn ' t keep him from being a fighter. He came to us in ' 22 from Spartanburg High School. He played freshman football, and since then he has been with the varsity squad. Each year he shows marked im- provement. This year at guard he played a good, steady game. If coach can stir him up a bit before a game, he will play an aggressive type of football. Cotton will be back with us next year to help make our team victorious. I-Hl, FiRPo Lawton, Guard Firpo is one of the stars from last year ' s fresh- men. He played end almost every game, and well did he do his part. He is a fighter of the first water, who does not know the word quit. In ' the Ogle- thorpe game, he was the outstanding star. Firpo has speed, stickability, pep, brains, and everything else that it takes to make a football player. This lad from Estill will cause opposing teams much worry in the next two years. Nig Moorer, Halfback The General is very light, but he is every inch a scrapper. Nig started scrubbing his freshman year, and now he is a varsity man. He has speed and an enormous store of pep. The squad will miss the boisterous Nig on the gridiron next yeai-, and it will be a heavy loss, too, for the presence of Nig seems to give the team new life. Monk Thackston, End Monk entered Woftord from Hastoc, where he had been a star. While he was on the freshman team he broke his arm, but this did not stop the fighting Monk from playing football, he loved the game so well. While he was still a rat, everyone predicted a brilliant football career for Monk, and they did not miss their guess. For the past two years he has played regular end. Never has Woftord had a better defensive end than this lanky lad, and we are glad that he will be back to help us be South Tarolina champs next year. Red Habel, End Red is another one of Spartanburg High ' s prod- ucts. He came to us in ' 23, along with Gabe Hill. Red played end on the freshman team last year and proved himself fit for the varsity. This year he playe d end for the varsity a good part of the time, at which position he was hard to beat. Besides being a good end, Red is a good punter and passer. Quite often he was called on to perform the duties of a backfleld man. In fact, we think Red will go to the back- fleld next year, not because he is lacking at all as an end, but on account of the fact that he is needed back there. Big Dean, Fullback Papa Dean was kept out of a number of games this yetir by Coach on account of falling arches. But when he did get in, he was a regular wild horse. Give him a football, and he will try to run through a brick wall. That ' s the kind of drive he has. Though he didn ' t get to play much this year, he helped put over a good many touchdowns for Wofford, for while he was in the game, the ball was always going to- wards the opponent ' s goal line. We hope Dean will be all set for early football practice next fall. m :X| Freskman Football Squad Officers H. M. Sutton Coac i W. R. Newbury . . . Captain R. R. Wolfe Manager First Roiv J. S.

Brown mm mm i Bill Child, Center, Captain Much credit is due to Captain Child for Wofford ' s good season in basketball. Bill is a veteran of three seasons, and it pains us to think that this star center will be absent when the roll call comes for the candidates next year. His good shooting and his head work has scored many points for Wofford in the past three years, and Wofford regrets to lose such a valuable man. T. A. Myers, Manager T. A. first came into prominence as the proprietor of the Carlisle Hall Can- teen, but he added to his reputation as a business man by his competent work as man- ager of the basketball team. T. A. was always popular with the boys, especially at meal time. He showed good judgment in arranging the schedule, and the whole team is thankful to him for his untiring efforts. Red Habel, Forivard, Captain-Elect Red will have the honor and unusual distinction of piloting the squad in his junior year. Red is one of the best forwards in the state. He has much ability, and is a scrapper who does not know the word quit. If Wofford had a Hall of Fame, Red would certainly be in it. We are lucky to have him back, and expect big things of him next year. Styx Lindsay, Forward Styx decided to follow in the footsteps of his brother and become a cage star. Styx is one of the best shots on the squad, and he also possesses a fine knowledge of the game, all of which makes him a valuable man. We are lucky to have him back to help us win the championship next year. Craig Kennedy, Guard Craig was the find of the season. He surprised everybody by making the team, and improved as the season went on, and, by th? end of the season, was as good a guard as there was in the Palmetto State. His fighting spirit was that of a true Terrier, and it made him a terror to all opposition. We are sorry that he will not be with us next year, and we wish him continued success at Annapolis. Willie Bourne, Guard. Manager-Elect Willie is one of the stars who caine up from last year ' s freshman team. His wonderful guarding and his ability to shoot long shots have made for him a wide repu- tation. Bourne is one of the be;:t guards that Wofford ever had. This boy has that old fight and pep which does so much to make a winning team. We expect him to add two more stars to his well-earned block. 202, Gabe Hill, Guard Gabe was not satisfied with being all-state halfback on the football team, but he came out and h3lped us have a winning basketball team. Gabe is a good guard and a hard worker. There is no use to mention his fighting spirit, for everyone knows Gabe fights all the time. We are sure that before he leaves college, he will be equally as famous as a basketball player as he is a football player. Francis Collins, Forward Francis was the lightest man on the squad, but what he lacked in size, he made up by his hard work. He w as a reliable substitute, who could always be depended upon to do his part well. We have never seen a harder working boy than the Little Man, and we are sorry that he will not be back with us next year. Bo Knotts, Guard Bo Knotts, of football fame, also made a name for himself as a formidable guard on the basketball squad. He did not make a letter, but this was due to lack of ex- perience. We are sure that he will do great things next year, for he is a hard worker, has the size, and is always willing to learn. 203 J. p. Major, Ccach Coach has been unusually successful as a baseball coach, having put out three successive cham- pionship teams. Wofford supporters are expecting to see him whip together another winning nine this year, and, from present indications, it seems that they will not be disappointed. Kid Roberts, Captain, Center Field Kid is the Ty Cobb of college baseball. He has been all-state outfielder for three years, and there is no reason why he should not be again this season. He is the best all-round ball player in this section of the country, when it comes to college baseball. His outstanding play and his cool head have made him captain of the S. C. Champions. Charlie Davis, Manager Charlie, the popular manager, would seem to be a big league scout to the spectator in the grand-stand, when he gets his Spark Plug to working, or his stogie in working order. We can only predict the success of the team under his management this year, and we know that Wofford will have her share of the gate receipts when the turnstiles shall have turned their last round. ' Reggie Wolfe, Assistant Captain, Pitcher Reggie has twice pitched Wofford to the championship, and we feel sure that he will pitch her to a third, before he gets his dip in June. He is the apple of many a scout ' s eye. This boy has a beautiful curve ball which, to the batter, is like the pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow — something he can never reach. We are indeed sorry to see the veteran left-hander leave us. We feel sure that he will make a name for himself in baseball. Dode McDow, Catcher To Dode goes the honor of driving in the first run of the season, and, judging from his hitting in the practice games, he will drive in many more during the season. Dode might be called the triple-threat man of baseball, for he uses his mouth, his brain, and his deadly arm on the opponents. We are expecting Dode to make a first-rate catcher this year, and we are glad to know that he will be back next year. Juicy Orvin, Shortstop Juicy was captain of the freshman team last year. He is one of the best shortstops Wofford has had since the days of Frank Ellerbee. This lad has lots of natural ability, and is full of pep. In the practice games, his speed and hitting have been a feature. We are lucky to have him for two more years. Frank Exum, Second Base Pee Wee is a little second baseman who reminds one much of Miller Huggins, both in size and ability. Pee Wee will be our lead-off man. He is hard to pitch to, and they have got to be in there before he will cut at them. His fielding is good and his pivoting on double plays is excellent. Red Habel, Pitcher Red pitched Spartanburg High to a championship, and we feel sure that his right arm will be a big help to the Old Gold and Black this year. Red has a cool head, just the boy to send to the hill when things look a little shaky. Red will also help with his bat. Hugh Folk, First Base Hughie is the Babe Ruth of our team. He is a big boy, and gives the ball a terrible wallop. We expect Hugh to drive in many runs for Wofford this year. This boy is not only a great hitter, but a graceful fielder, with a fine throwing arm. Frankie Trotter, (Jatcher Trot came to us from last year ' s rat team. This lad possesses a nice throwing arm and _ a good head; what more could one ask for? We expect great things of this youngster. Trot — has that old championship spirit, and his fight will aid us. Strawberry Pettigrew, Outfield Strawberry is the veteran right fielder who hits them so hard. Last year he drew more walks than any man on the team. Red covers a lot of ground in the outfield, and can whip that apple to the plate. Red is steady in the pinches; just the man a championship team needs. Monk Thackston, Pitcher Monk earned his block last vear as a pitcher, and shows promise of developing into a star this year. He is a big fellow who has a nice curve ball, and a fast one with a hop on it. Besides being a good hurler, this boy wields a mean willow, and can be used in the outfield if needed. Hard Luck Stuart, First Base, Outfield Hard Luck is playing his second year on the varsity. He helped us win the championship last year, and we feel sure that he will be a big help to us again this year. This boy covers a lot of ground, and is a good hitter. He plays either first base or the outfield with equal ease. ±3, Eddie Forbis, Third Base Eddie is the best fielding third baseman the writer has seen in many moons. This lad has a whip that will catch the fastest runner. He just eats up bunts. Eddie is a good hitter, and is fast on the bases. We know of no better man to play the hot corner this year. Buck Swett, Utility Buck shows signs of developing into a regular Olin Perritt when it comes to utility work. While one of the stars of last year ' s freshman team, as catcher, he seems to be at home anywhere on the diamond except the mound. We are fortunate in having him back for two more years of baseball. =i3 E. H. Shuler Coach B. D. Lee Captain-Managrr W. C. Kay Assistant Manager C. A. Dixon Assistant Manager W. T.

It has steadily grown in prestige up to the point where membership in it is one of the most desired honors on the campus. Th- membership is limited to fifty, an average of 87} on all studies being necessary for admission, and students are invited to join by unanimous vote of the club. A meeting is held every two weeks. The program deals with some feature of international interest. Papers are read by various members, and a general discussion ensues. Another phase of the program is the account of the events of interest happening during the two weeks past. The Wofford Club was host to the Southern Student Conference on International Relations on February 26, 27, and 28, 1925. Representatives were here from colleges and universities all over the South. Various speakers of prominence addressed the confeience on topics dealing with international affairs. Wofford is a charter member of this conference, and was the second club to be organized in the South. Personnel D. A. Wallace President H. M. Gilbert .... Assistant Secretary E. C.

Of these, twenty-two are permanent members and are taken on the state-wide tour. The others are temporary members, and they participate with the permanent members in local concerts. The club was fortunate this year in having as its director. Professor Richey of the Converse College faculty. Under his direction, the members were carefully trained for tone, volume, phrasing, and the other essentia ls of a good musical performance. The club this year is perhaps the best trained in years, and on the whole, the 1925 season has been a splendid success. The tour of the state which the club makes, is a most enjoyable one, and it is considered the best trip that any organization on the campus makes. - Personnel Prof. H. A. Richey . . . . ' Director W.

Faculty vs. Faculty +Jolin Harris mm N December 8 the faculty held its regular weekly meeting. At this meeting, Prof. Shuler reported that games of chance were being indulged in by the students on every corner of the campus. Uncle Gus took the floor with his usual gusto, and demanded the particulars, and wanted to know on what grounds the report was made. Peg reported that stud poker was being played every minute of the day, except meal-time. Some members of the faculty were in doubt as to whether or not the aforesaid game was one of chance, or science and skill. John Harris suggested that the national pastime be indulged in, on a small scale, in order that the faculty might be competent to judge according to the clear, cold light of reason, and on the practical basis of personal experience. The table was cleared, chairs placed, and Pug Trawick produced the cards on the one and — ] only condition that he be allowed to pinch the pot until he was justly compensated for the deck. ilttI John Harris, with his undisputed knowledge on being able to handle things in an efficient and orderly manner, was unanimously elected banker, and he promptly announced that he would use the proverbial theme-slip method. Mace cut an ace, and dealt. The gahfie started, as all games do, merely as friendly pastime, until Dune took stock for the eighth time, only to find that he was 17 cents hooked. Naturally, he suspected everybody. On the next hand he got ducks back to back. Heinie opened for a nickel on the strength of an acre. Everybody stuck except Jimmie. The round gave Dune his third duck. No one else was helped. Dune, being confident, tossed in another nickel. Knotty, by the aid of psychology, read Dune ' s hand, and turned. Clink turned from sheer fright. Everybody followed suit except Heinie, Frog, and Prof. Salmon, who fished until the end. The next card failed to help or hurt anybody. Dune bet a thin. Everybody called. When the case act hit Heinie, Frog hopped, and Salmon decided he had been a fish long enough. At this point the game came out of its cocoon of friendliness, and broke forth as a furious bumblebee of the specie furious. Dune cheeked his mortal lock in the form of three ducks to Heinie ' s aces. Heinie believed in his aces to the extent of 30 cents. Dune, with the skill of Babson, raises a dime, and Heinie is forced to call such a small sum. Slowly, but deliberately and surely, Dune exposed the Six Miles and raked the pot. Heinie rose in righteous indignation, and ; — Prf -p ' ' s i: exclaimed with his famous gesticulation: Gentlemen, no gentleman will check a lock in a -;:;ru3i m VJ friendly game. Henceforth the game waxed fast and furious. Locks were checked regularly, Frog being a slow but steady winner, because he was able to hog a few pots. The ' phone rang and Mace heard a voice at the other end of the line saying: Supper is ready; come and get it. Mace rejoined the game with the understanding that this be the last hand. They all agreed — Jimmie, being somewhat of a plunger, suggested that the sky be the limit. Everybody got good cards and stuck, in spite of the fact that the betting was heavy. On the fifth card, everybody turned except Frog, who had a possible straight, and Dune, who had aces showing. Dune, being high, bet his entire stack, consisting of 98 cents, on the strength of his third ace in the hole. Frog kicked it $1.50, and Dune fainted. In the excitement following, Pug grabbed the pot and ran. When Dune was revived, they all went to the bank to cash in. John, in the frenzied finance, not having a theme slip to aid him, had become somewhat confused, and, being short of funds, was unable to pay off. Everybody grabbed their hips. Uncle Gus dodged behind the stove, a report was heard, and the lights went out. An hour later Uncle Gus went to the ' phone and called Floyd ' s and said, See here, send an ambulance out to the college. We had a little disagreement in the faculty meeting, and some [±ti| are pretty badly hurt. The next day the morning paper carried the following story: Faculty Meeting Terminates in Cut-Throat Poker Game. Several Hurt. Every member of the faculty was seriously injured except Pug, who fled with the cash, and Uncle Gus, who, by the aid of his nimble pedal extremities, dodged behind the stove, where he remained until quiet once again reigned supreme.

Dr. Rembert (to Gallman) : Seeing that every sensation and every mental image or engram leads to a reHex activation, which may be apparent or not, according to the influence of positive or negative inhibition; to every sensation and image or perception there must, in consequence of this reflex motor action, result a corresponding kinesthetic or postural excitation of afferent stimuli flowing along proprioceptive neu- ronic systems from muscle spindles, tendons, bones, and joints, which, combined with associated labyrinthine sensations, form a sensory continuum which is intimately inte- grated with the extereceptor sensory continuum on the one hand and the motor con- tinuum on the other — if this is sleep, then what is a nightmare, Mr. Gallman?

I have not found him. But I knew a man who lived to be seventy years of age and could not fill out a check. He had never signed one, because he had never had a bank account. He is dead. He died a pauper. He left his wife in suffering poverty. His shroud is the wedding suit of the friend who dressed him for his funeral. He lies today in a coffin bought by kindly neighbors. When he died, he left this epitaph to adorn the board which marks his tomb : Here lies the remains of a spendthrift. I never saved a dollar in my life. I never prepared against the day of misfortune. I never took out a life insurance policy. I never owned a home of my own. I never had a bank account. There are debts which I have never paid, and which I never can pay. My life has been a failure, and I want the world to let the grass grow over my grave and forget that I ever lived. (Signed) A SPENDTHRIFT. We appreciate this, because it is a daily truth. We are inter- ested in you men, and want to help you. Deposit with us. There is no better friend to Wofford College and its students than this good old bank. Our association dates from 1871.

Leonard Cashier J. W. ISOM Assistant Cashier W. Frank Klugh ..Asst. Cashier Attorne]) fl: A Model Love Letter Dear Sal: Every time I thifilc of you, my heart flops up and down like a churn-dasher. Sen- sations of unutterable! joy caper over it like young goats on a stable roof, and thrill through it like Spanish needles through a pair of linen trousers. As a goslin swimmeth in a mud puddle, so swim I in the sea of glory. Visions of ecstatic rapture, thicker than the hairs of a blacking brush, brighter than the eyes of a humming bird, visit me in my slumber, and your image stands before me, and I reach out to grasp it like a pointer snapping at a blue-bottle. When I first beheld your angelic perfections, I was bewildered, and my brain whirled around me like a bumble-bee under a glass tumbler. My eyes stood open like the cellar doors of a country town, and I lifted up my ears to catch the silvery accents of your voice. My tongue refused to wag, and in silent adoration I drank in the sweet infection of love as a thirsty man swalloweth a tumbler of cold beer. Since the light of your face fell upon my life, I sometimes feel as if I could lift myself up by my shoestrings to the top of the church steeple, and pull the rope for singing school. Day and night you are in my thoughts. When Aurora, blushing like a bride, rises from her saffron-colored couch; when the jaybird pipes his tuneful lay in the apple tree by the spring-house ; when the awakening pig arises and grunteth ; when the drowsy beetle wheels his droning flight at sultry noontide, and when the lowing herds come home at milking time, I think of thee, and, like a piece of gum elastic, my heart seems stretched clear across my bosom. Your hair is like the mane of a sorrel horse powdered with gold, and the graceful manner in which you catch your train on the fly fills me with unbounded awe. Your forehead is smoother than the elbow of an old coat. Your eyes are glorious to behold, and in their liquid depths I see legions of little Cupids bathing like a cohort of ants in an old piece of cheese. When their fire hit me upon my manly chest, it penetrated my whole anatomy like a load of buckshot through a rotten apple. Your nose is like a chunk of Parian marble, and your mouth is puckered with sweetness. Nectar lingers on your lips like honey on a bear ' s paw, and myriads of unfledged kisses are there ready to fly out and light somewhere like bluebirds out of their parents ' nest. Your laugh rings in my ears like the wild harp ' s strain or the bleat of a lost nanny-goat. The dimples in your cheeks are like bowers in beds of roses or holes in cakes of home- made sugar. I am dying to pour out the burning eloquence of my love as thrifty housewives pour out hot coffee. Away from you, I am as melancholy as a sick rat. Sometmnes I hear the June-bugs of despondency buzzing in my ears, and feel the cold lizards of despair oozing down my back. My love for you is stronger than the smell of Limburger chees or the kick of a young cow, and more unselfish than a kitten ' s first caterwaul. As the songbird hankers for the light of day, the cautious mouse for the fresh bacon in the trap, and as a mean pup hankers for new milk, so long I for thee.

NEWEST, LARGEST AND LEADING Delightfully Situated W. G. Hodges, Manager Materia Sentimenta Love is a pernicious affliction, whose ravages are comparable to those of smallpox, la grippe, or halitosis. Unlike these less common maladies, however, there is no antitoxin known to be of benefit in such cases, and there are few means by which relief may be obtained. Such cases are nearly always ambulatory, with a tendency to take long walks in the moonlight. Symptoms are heartburn and depression. Often there is an intense desire to write poetry. Psychiatric methods of treatment are chiefly required, but some manifestations of the disease frequently occur in the physical body of the patient. They are distinguished by spells of blushing, high fever, and attacks of what we shall call delirium amouratum. Occasionally there is a touch of kleptomania, when patients appropriate for their own uses such valuables as photographs, gloves, handkerchiefs, and sometimes locks of hair. Spring usually occasions an epidemic, but practically complete recovery may be reached by autumn, with the exception of slight relapses during the season when the beaches are in full sway. The absent treatment tends to make the effects stronger. (Note that often the patients know better.) Study of the subject has, so far, been insufficient to develop an ei ective cure. Either matri- mony (a drastic remedy, to be avoided, when possible) or old age is recommended as the most efficacious antidote. GlKCHEF. Eats 1854 1925 COLUMBIA COLLEGE COLUMBIA, S. C.

(With More Apologies) When I wore clothes that covered me, When whalebone ' s grasp near crushed my soul, Then I was all a prude could be; But now I ' ve learned my own to roll. In the fell clutch of men who dance I do not wince, nor cry aloud ; ' Gainst all the bludgeonings of Chance My hair is bobbed, but my head ' s unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the horror of old maid ; And so the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unarrayed. It matters not how fast the pace. How chaperones may rage and storm ; I am the mistress of my face And of my captivating form. My boy, vat are you going up those stairs three at the time for? To save my shoes, fadder. Dat ' s right, son — but don ' t tear your trousers. When was money first invented. ' I don ' t know. When was it? When the dove brought the green back to Noah. This is the fate of Bob Mclntyre, Who ran down the street with his trousers on fire. He went to the doctor, and fainted with fright When the doctor told him his end was in sight. ♦ I understand they are going to change the name of Cleveland Park to Orchard Park. Why?

' Tis sweet to roam where morning ' s light Resounds across the deep ; And the crystal song of the woodbine bright Hushes the rocks to sleep. And the blood-red moon in the blaze of noon Is bathed in a crumbling dew, And the wolf rings out with whispering shout : To-whit, to-whit, to-whoo!
