Fortune will lavish her fairest favors upon some; disappointment and disillusionment await others; cares and perplexities will be the portion of all. There will come experiences in the lives of us all when we shall wish to escape for the moment from the harsh realities of the Present; and we shall then seek refuge in the glad memories of the Past. It is to meet the need of such moments that this book is designed. It has not been our purpose as editors of tnis book to create a masterpiece in art or in literature. We have striven merely to record in a simple and effective way the activities and events of the college year, and to reflect in these pages the spirit of the Old Gold and Black. We have given our best efforts to the task; hence, we have no apologies to offer for our work. We wish no recompense other than the approval of our classmates who gave us the honor of editing their Annual. If we could know that we have suc- ceeded in publishing a volume that is worthy of the Class of 1926 and worthy of Wof- ford, our highest hope would be realized, and we should be content. ALMA MATER On the city ' s northern border, Reared against the sky — Proudly stands our Alma Mater, As the years go by. Chorus May it ever be our watchword — Conquer and prevail. ' Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Dear old Wofford, hail! Cherished by thy sons forever, Memories sweet will throng ' Round our hearts, dear Alma Mater, As we sing thy song. When we from thy halls have parted. And Life ' s battle is on, Thv (jreat spirit shall inspire us. Till eternal dawn. HENRY NELSON SNYDER, M.A., Litt.D., L.L.D. I. B K , President BA.

Here he is, the Song Bird of the Edisto. Rick, the boy from Walterboro. His four years on the Glee Club have proven to the world that Rick can sing and toot a mean saxophone. To look at him, you would never know it, for he looks too serious ever to have swayed to the lilt of modern jazz. But looks may deceive, and when Rick does take up his old sax, he really does make the darned thing talk. But don ' t let all this talk of jazz lead you to bleieve that Rick is not serious. He is. Life to him is a serious problem, and one that he intends to solve; but, like all true philosophers, he realizes that all serious work must be lightened with play; and his musical abilities serve to give him this. Therefore, he plays. Scholastically, Rick is on a par with the best. He may not make sensational grades, but he manages to absorb all that is in a textbook, and it is seldom that a professor can call on Rick and find him unable to answer correctly. His outstanding charac- teristics are firmness and determination. In this way he has won himself many true friends during his four-year stay at Wofford. We know that what Rick says he will do, he ' will do — and we can depend on him. Go to it, Rick, old man! Life has many joys in store for you, we know. Though modest, on his unembarrassed broiu Nature has written: ' Gentleman ' . SENIOR CLASS John Watkins Alexander, A.B Spartanburg, S. C.

Cotton, Alex, or John, or whatever else you may have heard him called — for his nicknames are many and various — is one of Spartanburg High ' s most famous products. A terror on the gridiron, a hurler of a mean baseball, a wielder of a wicked racquet, an author of no mean ability, and a cross-word puzzle to the professors. John is a boy of varied accomplishments. Cotton, like many of the rest of us, has never been able to make up his mind as to what he is going to do to earn his daily bread. The thing that most appeals to him is to wander over the world into unknown and God-forsaken places in search of adventure and knowledge of the unknown. In our opinion, he would make an ideal world-rover, for he has both the love of adventure and the ability to transmit to the world the result of his wanderings. There is only one thing that is lacking in Cotton : that is, constancy in love. While he never talks of his love affairs, we know that he has had many, but has come out of them all unscathed. Ladies, go easy! Here is jour heart-breaker de luxe; he loves easily, but forgets jusC as easily. Beware! Seriously, John, we all know that, however you may direct your efforts and talents, you will succeed well, and we give you our best. Luck to you!

Second Year — Member Spartanburg County Club. Third Year — Distinction in Scholarship. Fourth Year — Minis- terial Band; Distinction in Scholarship. Clyde is a product of Trough, South Carolina. He came to Wofford to get an education, and that has been his constant endeavor throughout his entire college course, [t is rumored that he is a veritable shark in Monsieur Chaudon ' s French IV; and when it comes to Dr. Trawick ' s R. E ' s. he is always there with the goods. It can be truthfully said of Clyde that he is both a gentleman and a scholar. Although possessed of a serious nature, a cheerful disposition is one of his greatest assets. His winning ways and habit of seeing the bright side of every situation will bring happiness to him in life. At the beginning of his senior year, Clyde resolved to enter the ministry. This is, indeed, a noble undertaking, but we are sure that Clyde is just the kind of man to enter so great a work. In the very near future, we expect to see him — though not alone — settled down in some cozy little Methodist parsonage, quietly going about the task of helping his fellow man. Clyde, we are sorry to give you up, but the world needs you ; ' tis time for parting. Our choicest benedictions rest upon you. The greatest pleasure in life is love. ' SENIOR C s s Jonathan Carl Bailey, A.B X B ' t, s T Cowpens, S. C. First Year — Distinction in Scliolarship ; Member Spartanburg- County Club; Member R. O. T. C. Secimd Year — Member Spartanburg County Club; Member R. O. T. C. Third Year — Distinction in Scholarship; Member Canterbury Club; Member Spartanburg- County Club. Fourth Year — Distinction in Scholarship; Secretary and Treasurer Canterbury Club; Mejnber General Science Club; Secretary Spartanburg County Club; President Cowpens Club; Member Ministers ' Sons Club. Words are futile things when one attempts to portray character. Deeds and accom- plishments are more potent means. It is to the latter we turn in attempting to present the gentleman above. Bailey is the product of the historically famous community of Cowpens; and though it has been decades since that spot was made famous, some of the history- making traits of those great old patriots have evidently descended to the third and fourth generation. Especially do we notice in Bailey the traits of loyalty, earnestness, and perseverance. Those of us who have known Bailey in an intimate way have found in him the qualities that make for a true gentleman. He has no excuses for his mistakes, no apologies for his philosophy. He is a student of books and of life, and if his success in life is to be measured by his success as a student of books, there will be no question as to his future. Bailey has been very helpful in his contributions to the college publications, especially in his favorite form of expression — poetry. His endeavors and accomplishments in this phase of college activities gave to him a place as a charter member of the Canter- bury Club — an honor indeed. Bailey is somewhat a scientist as well as a literary man, being a member of the General Science Club. Now that our friend is about to enter the great School of Life, we feel sure that the qualities he has shown in his four years of work at WofFord will make his host friends sure that he will not be browbeaten by circumstances. From college life and opportunities he goes; to life we give him as he is, and have no misgivings. True merit has no limitations. SENIOR CLASS Edward Braswell Baldwin, A.B Florence, S. C.

The inadequacy of words makes it difficult to describe some people. So it is with Ed. He possesses a dignity that distinguishes him from his fellow students. The first impression of him shows you that he is a man of quality, intelligence, and high personal dignity. Yet, with all his dignity, he is sociable, witty, and friendly. His perpetual smile brings sunshine to all he meets. A ladies ' man? We should say! Ed has more girls than anyone else at Wofford. There is something about him, perhaps his brown eyes, or his neat manner of dress, that attracts the fair sex. Anyhow, we have to take off our hats to him when it comes to sheiking the ladies. Ed is one of Wofford ' s best musicians. He has been the leading man on the Glee Club for four years. He has contributed] his part to the club by being in the orchestra, quartet, and in doing solo work. He has made many friends throughout the state with his wonderful voice and personality. He is recognized as having the best voice in college. Ed, it is with regret that we give you up. We have lived with you and learned to love you. But as you launch your craft on life ' s sea, we, the Class of ' 26, send you forth confident that, with your character, ideals and rare qualities, nothing but success awaits you. Now we part; we say good-bye, remembering that same old smile, that same old humor, that same old Ed. A mind to conceive, a heart to resolve, a hand to execute.

A good athlete, a good student, and a good fellow — these are the traits that make Num a triple-threat man of no mean ability and repute. For the past four years Num has been winning admiration for his deeds on the gridiron and on the campus, until today he has won a place of respect and admiration in the heart of every Wofford man. Num has been Wofford ' s ace in many a hard-fought football contest, and his bril- liant line plunging has caused despair in many a football camp over the state. To relate the many achievements of Num is too large a task for one page, or many pages; for if he advances in life as he has advanced in school — and we believe he will • — then, Mr. Bell, how about appointing me Secretary of War? Num has left a place in our midst that cannot be filled, and we are sorry to see him go. We are proud, however, to send him out as a Wofford man, and we know- that he will always exemplify the ideals of Woiford to the satisfaction of all real men. Honor and shame from no condition rise; — Act ivell your part — t iere all the honor lies. SENIOR CLASS Jack Whitridge Bowman, A.B. Orangeburg, S. C.

Leaving the Citadel and the City by the Sea, after one year of military quarantine. Jack decided to cast his lot with us in the fall of ' 23. Since that time he has been one of the most likable and admired men on the campus. Jack is simply a good all-round student, studious, quiet, ambitious, jovial, sociable; in fact, he is a darned good fellow and a friend to be relied upon. We believe Jack is mentally sound, though his roommate has noised it abroad that he talks in his sleep and calls out the name of a fair sweet lady of a neighboring town. But what if he does? ' Tis no crime. The fair one who captivates Jack may commend herself for her worthy catch. As adjutant of the R. O. T. C, Jack is especially to be commended. Always neat and immaculate, whether in cits or in uniform, he carries with him an air of quiet confidence and self-reliance. He is able and versatile along many lines of college life, and has proven, in the three years with us, that he has the mettle to try life with. Atta boy, Jack! Life awaits; answer Opportunity ' s knock; success is yours. It matters not viliat men assume to he; Or good, or bad, they are luliat they are. SENIOR CLASS Hansel LeGare Boyd, A.B Clinton, S. C.

Faiirth Year — Preston Literary Society; Laurens County Club. Hamp, although seemingly possessed with a comatose, or rather, apathetic, dis- j osition, also influenced by the erraticism of his predecessors, James Pitts and Screench Fuller, cannot be regarded as a;iything less than a deboraic lad. Having the dis- tinction list in mind he began his college course, but not until the latter part of the first year did he realize the fallacy in such a thought, finding that even a passing mark to him was a real achievement. Hamp ' s zeal, however, was not dampened by this slight misfortune; and during the ensuing years, by his earnest efforts, he has shown results which would fill any professor with inundant pride even to claim his tutorship. Hamp has not been overburdened with honors, although at one time holding the responsible position as monitor in the Preston Literary Society, and showing his capability to hold any higher or lower office that might have been bestowed upon him. Nevertheless, his carefree disposition, his good nature, and friendly characteristics have made numerous friends for him, and he rates well as one of the necessary forces for the maintenance of Wofford College — one of the Five Hundred. Those who know Hamp intimately have already learned that he has his serious moments as well as his rollicking moods. Thus they admire and respect him even more than the many who are drawn to him by his wit and congeniality. O, let me not he mad, not mad, siveet Heaven Keep me in temper: I ivould not he mad!

O. T. C. Whether Jim was respoinsible for the Florida land boom or not is somewhat of a debatable question. At least, immediately after he took up his domicile in the Land of Sunshine and Flowers, there was quite a flurry in the real estate market and prices soared. Jim, however, was born in good old South Carolina — and in Spartanburg. Regardless of how much he talks Florida, he is true and loyal to the land of his birth. Jim ' s career at Wofford has been wholly successful from every viewpoint. As an athlete he has played on the freshman basketball team; later he made the varsity squad, and this year he played as a regular. In scholarship Jim made his best showing. He made distinction every year except one, in spite of the fact that he was out of school for a whole year. In appreciation of this ' fact, he was invited to join the Chi Beta Phi Scientific Fraternity. Even as a hard working, conscientious student who put work in its proper place, Jim did not neglect the social side of his education. He is a true friend to his host of friends, and boys and girls alike are numbered among them. You can ' t keep a good man down; that ' s Jim. When he leaves Wofford, his suc- cess will be assured by virtue of his merits. He will leave a place which will be very hard to fill, and he will be missed mightily. Florida ' s gain will be our loss. We hate to see you go, Jim, but here ' s the best of luck to you! But the loveliest things of beauty God has shoiued to me Are Iter voice, and her hair, amd eyes, and the dear red curve of her lips. SENIOR CLASS Levi Henley Buddin, A.B New Zion, S. C.

Third Y ' ear — Member Carlisle Hall Advisory Board; Treasurer Clarendon- Sumter County Club; Second Lieutenant R. O. T. C. ; Member Three-Year Club. In the fall of 1923, Carlisle sent to Wofford one of her most promising sons. Bud, or Scotty, as he is better known to his friends, has more than fulfilled all their expectations. The fact that he is a three-year man is in itself ample proof of his worth. After one year at Wofford, Bud decided to enter the teaching profession in his native community, where we are sure he rendered valuable service in moulding the characters and minds of all the young people with whom he came in contact. But one year was enough to convince Scotty that he was needed back at his Alma Mater. Bud does exceptionally well in all of his classes, although he is still at a loss as to the best method of shooting Uncle Dan. But we have omitted by far the most important side of Bud ' s character. His genial nature and winning personality have been the key to his uncanny ability in attracting the fair sex of Spartanburg and the surrounding country. To a careful observer it would seem evident that Scotty is a member of all the B, Y. P. U. ' s, Epworth Leagues, and the other religious organizations of the city — especially in their social functions. With all of his many talents, combined with his unusual ability to make friends, we can but predict for Scotty a most successful future. ; .,1:: IVe live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial.

Sam illuminated our campus with his presence at the beginning of the fall of ' 22, and for four long years his popularity has continued to rise among his fellow students. He has a great deal of natural ability, some of which he displays in the form of solemn buffoonery and antic wit, which no doubt made him so successful as one of the outstanding cheer leaders of all time. Sam not only stands in with the students, but he also possesses a peculiar knack of getting a hold upon the professors at critical times. This is probably due to his un- questionable ability to shoot them during those psychological moments that often occur in the classroom. Neither is this all, for it is rumored around the campus that this terpischorean genius is viewed with admiration by the fairer sex as he gracefully glides and shuffles those loose, light feet across the mirrored floor. Sam takes life easy, and no matter what his surroundings may be, his genial disposi- tion and wholesome optimism soon win for him a warm spot with all who are associated with him. If the situation becomes dull and difficult, he gets off some of his jokes or expresses his impartial frankness. On the other hand, he possesses a serious side. We know that by his many visits to the courtrooms of the state that he has an undaunted ambition to have the voice of a silver-tongued nightingale, and to be able to sway thousands by his oratory. Tak- ing everything into consideration, it is quite possible that he may some day be the Governor of South Carolina. Good-bye, Sammy, boy! We predict for you a great career, and feel sure that you will succeed, going through life as a comet through the heavens, leaving behind to the world the brilliant glow of your fame. A merry heart doeth good like medicine. SENIOR CLASS Legare Hamer Calhoun, A.B Clio, S. C. X T, X B First Year — Member Honor Council.

Callie came to Wofford in the fall of 1922 from the thriving little town of Clio, situated in the heart of the fertile farming section of Marlboro. In the four short years that have passed since that time, men from seven different classes have had the pleasure and privilege of finding and knowing the sterling qualities that are evident in the character of this young man. There has been no bustle or flurry in the evolution of that shy freshman of 1922 into the confident, polished and dignified College Graduate that we see today. With a quiet sincerity and earnestness characteristic of him, he has undertaken every task, met every obstacle and entered each succeeding phase of college life. Early impressions of this young man were that he was somewhat inclined to steer clear of the wiles and enchantments of the fair sex. But conceptions of this nature were entirely disrupted when, with the beginning of his junior year, he began stepping out. Dame Rumor encloses it all in mysterious confusion. It was whispered first that there was a summer love under enchanting Italian skies; and then, that the night life of Paris and the sparkling French wines were too much for him. But don ' t be misled into thinking that Calhoun degenerated into a tea-hound. The moderation and balance with which by Nature he was endowed have served to maintain that proper ratio of emotion and reason within him and that sympathy and understanding which spring spontaneously from a noble heart have all united to pro- duce in Calhoun a true friend, and a man of whom Wofford feels justly proud. As he leaves this campus he carries with him the respect of every student and the hopes and wishes of many friends for the very best that life can give. This above all: to tliinr oiun self he true, And it must folloiv as night the day, Thou canst not then he false to any man. SENIOR CLASS Pascal Meadors Camak, A.B Greenville, S. C.

Third Year — Preston Literary Society; Greenwood County Club; Archer Hall Tennis Club. Fourth Year — President Epicurean Club; Preston Literary Society; Greenwood County Club. Mead has been, for his four years at Wofford, a necessary and important part of the life of the campus. He is a don ' t worry sort of fellow, and is liked by all because there is no duplicity about him. He has many qualities worthy of commendation. The outstanding one is his sound- ness of reasoning. Teachers would be surprised if they knew that his logical answers came, not from a book, but from his brain. Also, he has no mean ability as a writer of short stories. When he returns from the Philippines, where it is rumored he intends to go, he will publish such stories as will make the world take notice. He has already heralded his narrative ability by contributing to the college publications. His well- known newspaper articles are of unusual merit. Not only is he qualified as a writer, but he has proven himself an orator and debater as well. Besides his literary turn of mind, Mead also possesses keen business acumen, having already attained some degree of success as a salesman. With the combination of this good business judgment and education in pharmacy, which he intends to get, we predict that he will have a great success in disposing of his pills and panaceas. Mead ' ' is a man of high ideals, and a dreamer of ereat dreams; not by any means the least among these being the vision of a beautiful little bungalow to which we predict he will go before many years. Good luck, Mead ! Continue to live up to the ideals which make for character. The ivorld is comedy to those luho think; tragedy to those ivho feel.

O. T. C; President Greenwood County Club. In spite of the handicap of having come to us from Greenwood, this young man has taken his place among us as one of the leaders of his class. In all phases of college life he has taken an active and prominent part, and has performed his part well. As an artist, Claude knows no e iual. As Art Editor of The Bohemian he has, for two successive years, rendered incomparable service and helped make more attractive the best annual in South Carolina. In the realm of tennis this lad is right there with the goods. However, his athletic ability is not confined to tennis. It is quite appropriate in this sketch, too, to relate that Chip is the hero of many a pretty romance. It should be easy to persuade anyone who sees the above likeness that he is verily a sheik. In the parlors of the College over the Way, he is in constant demand ; and we know his absence next year will be prolific of much sorrow. In addition to his outstanding qualities already mentioned, Claude ' s gentlemanly conduct and his sterling character send him out in life assured of success. For, when the One Great Scorer comes To mark against your name, He ivrites, not that you ivon or lost, But hoiv you played the game. SENIOR CLASS Manning Austin Connors, A.B Spartanburg, S. C.

A product of Spartanburg High School, Wattie came to Wofford College with a definite object in mind and a determination in his soul to carry out his purpose com- pletely without making any great stir or commotion. He set about learning all that the faculty of Wofford could teach him. That he has succeeded is well shown by his scholastic standing and literary society work. To look at Austin will convince one of his fine character and undying determina- tion. He is a quiet sort of lad who never boasts of himself, never thrusts himself forward, and never proclaims to the world what he is determined to do. In fact, quiet- ness and modesty are his most noticeable characteristics. But, in spite of those — or, rather, due to them — whenever the test comes he is always found filling his place in the front rank. As to his affairs with the gentler sex, no man knows. That is his business, and he attends to it. But if we are to judge by the friends he has made in the student body at Wofford; and, if among girls there is any appreciation for the highest type _ of manhood, then, without a doubt, there is someone, somewhere, who is the incarnation of womanhood ' s every charm to him. Wattie, we, your friends at Wofford, wish for you every joy and success that life affords, and know right well that you deserve them. Better to be smalt and shine, than large and cast a shadovj.

Fourth Year — Query Com- mittee Snyder Literary Society; Secretary-Treasurer Snyder Hall Executive Committee; Member Camp McClellan Gold Breakers ' Club; Commissioned Officer, R. O. T. C. Jim hails from Wilson, although when asked where he is from, Manning will be the prompt reply. But no matter — he ' s a jolly good fellow, just the same. During his four years ' sojourn with us, Jim has made scores of friends, even among the fair sex. His ability to sheik the women is surpassed only by the great Rudolph himself. Like the sailor, he is not satisfied with having a girl in every port, but must have one in every town, also. Another one of Jim ' s arts is that of arguing. With his Heinie-like oratory and gestures, he usually wins, even if he should be arguing that the earth is flat. Jim ' s greatest scholastic achievement is his ability to shoot I ' ncle Dan and Professor Pettis. He is also a military genius, for he justly proved this by the brilliant record he made at Camp McClellan last summer. Although Jim has not won fame on the athletic field, he has truly and justly supported old WofFord in every phase of activity. He has a love for his Alma Mater that will stick to the last. What more could a true son of Wofford wish? Jim, in saying farewell to you, remember that each one of your classmates holds true esteem and affection for you, and each gives you his best wishes for a successful career in whatever vocation you may choose. requires more f ooJ judgment to knouj luhen to talk, than ivhat to say.

In Lefty we have a rare combination of a gentleman and a scholar. He is the kind every class is fortunate to possess, and whose place cannot be filled by another. Crutch is one of the finds of the Class of ' 26. He quietly and consistently per- formed his duty for two years as he was given to see it. Then, presently, honors began descending upon him until he became laden with a man ' s share of responsibilities and a hero ' s share of honor. That ' s Ralph. As president of the Chi Beta Phi Scientific Fraternity, as president of the Preston Literary Society, as manager of the Terrier Baseball Team, as advertising manager of The Bohemian, as a habitue of the Halls of Converse — ah, in all these he excels! As a student and as a gentleman he has few peers and no superiors. We have hinted that Ralph is not unknown on East Main. But that ' s putting it too mildly. Rumor has it that Lefty attends Converse far more regularly and with greater devotion than he does his Alma Mater. Nay, more — they say he is gradually diminishing the field of his endeavors and exhibits an increasingly apparent tendency to concentrate his attention on — alas! — one. We do not know whether his trip la.st summer caused this or not. We are at a loss to know Ralph ' s selection of a vocation. There are opportunities in every field; and in whatever path of life he may choose to walk we know he will employ all his talents for the good of his fellow men.

Gene has won a place of high esteem among all men who have been at Wofford for any length of time during the last four years; for he has an almost unique character- istical combination — a serious mind when necessary, and always a smiling face — a com- bination that, while it is rare and longed for, produces a magnetic personality. We are assured that to this natural endowment, credit should be given for his having made friends with everybodv. He has engaged in a social realm during his college career sufficiently to develop that essential phase of life; but at no time has he forgotten that the scholastic phase of col- lege life had to be carried on. He has made a remarkable record in scholarship; and has also found time to engage in various other activities on the campus. He has shown his executive ability by discharging in a most efficient manner the duties connected with the office of president of a literary society. He has shov ' n on many occasions that there is innate in him the capacity for making a successful business man. During Gene ' s four years with us, he has afforded much amusement for everybody on the campus. He is witty and is never found groping for the proper expression to fit the occasion. Then, too, he has the unique ability of holding the most scrutinizing audi- ence at bay, performing some of the most awe-inspiring tricks of the art of magic. Each of us regrets very much to have to part with this gay fellow, for he has made college life much more pleasant for all of us. We bid him Bon Voyage on the sea of life. For a man to he a leader of men, lie must first be a man himself. SENIOR CLASS Mike Salley Culler, A.B Orangeburg, S. C. A Z First Veai — Member Honor Committee; Orangeburg County Club.

As we look into the crystal globe that, slowly turning, reveals to us Mike ' s four years at Wofford, we are impressed by the image of a vibrant and winning personality, a cheerful and congenial disposition. He is possessed of that rare and priceless quality of making friends wherever he goes, and moreover, with a nerve and will that makes an irresistible appeal to the fair sex. In his actions can be found nothing spectacular, but none of his duties suffer be- cause of neglect, and his steadiness and regularity make all his studies easy. We notice that he has been especially partial to the different sciences. In fact, he has taken practically all that Wofford has to offer, and his association with Peg has been the source of much comment. Whether or not he intends to apply this scientific knowledge to some particular work, we do not know. Regardless of what he under- takes, however, we predi ct for him a sure ascent to the crest of high achievement. Mike, we regret to see you go, but duty is calling to other fields, where we know you will find friends as true and companions as pleasant as those you leave behind. And wherever business or duty may lead you, under whatever skies you may dwell, we assure you, we will always hold with high regard your friendship among us, and will never cease to recall with pleasure the good times we have spent together. And out in this great work-a-day world we will follow your every success with joy and delight. We wish you good luck, Mike, and may we often meet again.

It is not every one who spends four years between the sacred halls of Wofford that is entitled to be called a student, gentleman and friend. But Harry has demon- strated the fact that all these noble qualities may be combined in one, and make a real man. As a student he has always been serious-minded and diligent, acquitting himself in distinctive style. He leaves behind him a record of which anyone might boast. His true worth is shown in that he has chosen the hardest studies as a specialty, and has made them subservient to his intellect. In addition to his other commendable qualities, he is always a friend — sincere, de- pendable, and trustworthy. Few town boys will ever forget his generous lifts up street. His gentlemanly conduct has given him a place of admiration in the hearts of all his classmates. As the majority of his companions, Harry looks with favor upon the fair sex. But, what of it? Would not one be abnormal if he should not? True, Harry is one graduate that any college should be proud to own. Merit wins, it is said; and in that case Harry will be a success in any phase of endeavor. Whether he will enter the banking profession or become a demagogue is yet for him to decide; we think that he would succeed equally well in either. Whatever you try, Harry, here ' s luck to you !

Highpocket, as he is familiarly known, is the tallest man on the campus, and he has a heart to correspond with the size of his body. Few of us will ever forget the many favors which he has done for us, or the pleasantries which play a major part in his conversation. Jim ' s interest seems to be centered in the sciences, and we predict that some day he will introduce a more interesting and more widely discussed theory than Einstein. Not only are the sciences a specialty with him, but in every branch of study his brilliancy has shown with unequaled splendor. Jim ' s sunny disposition and jolly manner act as a magnet to those near him. Neither too serious nor flippant, his life has been one of optimism. Jim is a man worthy of imitation. His life and dreams are idealistic and his high character is security for his success in the future. He has the unusual distinction of being the most independent boy in the class and, due to this reason, his friendship is held in coveted esteem. Knowing that he possesses all the traits essential to success in any field, combined with his true moral fibre, we can but predict a glorious career through Jim ' s life.

Second Year — Member Clarendon County Club; Christian Fellowship Club. Third Year — Member Clarendon-Sumter County Club. JTourtli Yeivr — Member Three-Year Physics Club. We would have to search a long time to find a better or more capable man than June. He hails from the sand hill section of South Carolina, and is proud to call the City of Turbeville his home. We make no mistake when we say that Wofford is glad to call him her son. While on the campus, June ' has made an enviable record among his many friends, and he has at all times lived a clean, honest, upright life. In his work he has always bee n persistent, never thinking of giving up a task until he accomplished it to the best of his ability. His one failing was that he loved his Physics. It seems to have been his one ambition to master all the rules and methods in it. It has taken him three years to do this, but we feel sure that he is now capable of imparting some of his knowledge to anyone who might be in need of such information. The many friends that June has been accumulating since being at Wofford regret very much to see him leave. Still they have seen that a man of his ability is needed more elsewhere than on the college campus. Knowing that he has a place to fill that must remain vacant if he does not occupy it, we feel that we must urge him on, even though we hate to let him go. We wish for him the .success that is his due, and the greatest happiness that life has in store for him. Pleasures arc like poppies spread, You seize the fioiu ' r, the bloom is shed.

No one would call him flirtatious who gazes on his serious countenance, but wolves often hide in sheep ' s clothing. True, the ladies know him better than we do. Next year Red ' s face will be missed on the campus, for he is an optimist if ever there was one. He is always ready for fun, yet intensely interested in all college activities — including classroom sport. The cleanliness of speech, sportsmanship, and gentlemanly conduct which he has shown on the campus and on the athletic field have made his classmates proud that he is a member of their class. His favorite hobby is shooting Knotty. Evidently Red will make his fortune in Florida, or perhaps in the big leagues, for when it comes to baseball he has a batting average which will make Ty Cobb ' s look like a decimal fraction. As for luck, Red seems to have been born with a horseshoe around his neck. By his cool reasoning and mere will power and grit he has won a warm place in the hearts of both students and faculty. Red ' s one great weakness is his affection for the fair sex; and we congratulate the fair one who can win a heart so true, loyal and sincere ; for he is worthy of any woman, and we rejoice in his happiness. May success be yours, Red, in whatever calling you may choose! ' Life is not a goblet to be drained, but a measure to be filled. ' S E I O R C s s Samuel Rogers Easterling, A.B Florence, S. C.

Standing six feet in height, and towering over his fellow students, he is every inch a man. Genial, firm and ever will- ing to lend a hand, always interested in the serious side of his college career, an all- round, fully developed college man, that any college might be proud to claim. He is a constant source of inspiration to all who know him, and has indeed added his bit to the fame of his Alma Mater. Behold in him the answer to a maiden ' s prayer. He has a way — where girls are concerned — that is irresistible. Ask any of the gentler sex of Spartanburg who Sam Easterling is, and the answer will not be long forthcoming. But don ' t get the idea that Sam is a flirt. He is not. He is just good-looking and can ' t help it.

Here we behold a member of the intelligensia, a man too small for athletics. But there is nothing too large for him along the paths of a natural college career. Frog, as he is affectionately known on the campus, has a knack at getting along well with the students. A more popular man cannot be found — to know him is to admire him. Much to the regret of many, Frog did not participate in the R. O. T. C. work, but he has been one of the outstanding leaders in the P. T. Department. Although some may call him a crip hopper, it is a well-known fact that his work in the Science De- partment has been excellent, and we are expecting great things from him as a future M.D. As one might expect of such a combination, he is an ardent admirer of the fair sex. It is said that he runs down to Greenwood once in a while to see how his stock stands. . . . Frog ' s loyalty to his fellow students, his true friendliness, his determination, and his sincerity are so blended together that we find no truer friend or finer gentleman. It is with the deepest regret that we part from him. Ralph, old boy, good-bye and good luck! We feel assured that you will always be a credit to the Class of ' 26. H ' S==S?

When Hugh first came to Wofford, we all made a mental note that we had another ladies ' man in our midst. We formed that opinion from having been intimately ac- ([uainted with his esteemed predecessor and blood brother, Jack. Time has borne us out in that presumption ; but we were not altogether correct, for we overlooked a very important virtue, namely, Hugh ' s athletic ability. Hughsie, ' ' as he is affectionately known by Coach Major — and one other — has been a mainstay on the football and baseball teams for three years. In the games WofFord has engaged in on the gridiron in that time, those of us who follow the game from the sidelines have often heard many a spectator utter, as if oflFering a prayer on high, Give the ball to ' Hughsie ' . And let it be said to the eternal athletic glory of Hughsie that he delivered the goods. Hugh ' s athletic ability lies dormant from Thanksgiving until spring, but true to nature he blossoms out regularly in the spring, and assumes his regular position at the initial bag. Dizzy really hasn ' t treated his Alma Mater fair in athletics, because by finishing in three years he has deprived us of a dependable halfback and an exceptional, and at times sensational, first sacker. Hughsie has but one weakness — or, we should say, had. When he first came to Wofford, we were in doubt for some time whether he was attending WofTord or Converse. Even Converse ' s infallible dean was not entirely sure on this point. Then, too, he surely must have believed Variety was the spice of life, for he never devoted much time to any one of the fair — but a little time to many. But, alas and alack, all this is changed, and Hughsie has abandoned all his Mormon proclivities, and has sworn true faith and allegiance to one. We understand that a contract is now pend- ing, and we all await eagerly its outcome. If he he not in love ivit i some ivoman, Then there ' s no believing old signs. s s Thomas Asbury Folk, A.B Ehrhardt, S. C. First Year — Preston Literary Society; R. O. T.

Even some of the less fortunate freshmen also like T ' bury. Though Asbury has not made a brilliant record in college, he has made a record for hard, diligent, honest work. Nor has Asbury tried to give a display of his ability as a politician on the campus. Instead, he has been satisfied to play the part of an average student, ready to take an active part in everything that pertained to the best interests of the College. Whether in the class room, literary society, or grandstand, Asbury is always there. When T ' bury left the little metropolis of Ehrhardt to come to Wofford, many were the gentle sighs of regret that ascended from fair maidens ' hearts. No wonder at that, for to overhear a line which Asbury hands out to the ladies would convince anyone that our friend is most proficient in the sweet and melodious phrases such as girls like to hear. After finishing his college course, Asbury intends to enter the high profession of teaching. Some time in the near future, we, his old classmates, will be startled by the fact that another Pestaloggi or Hebart has appeared before the world. And that leader of the teaching profession will be none other than Thomas Asbury Folk of the Class of ' 26. Folk, old boy, we hate to see you part from us, hut the world needs men of your type.

Ford came to us from Wofford Fitting School, and we know that he has truly been a loyal supporter of the Old Gold and Black. He has the attributes of a true gentleman, and we ad- mire him for his friendly manner, his well-governed mind, his reliable disposition, his frankness and fair dealing, and the sterling chivalry of his manhood. But we believe that one of his most attractive qualities is his unchanging nature. We have found him to be the same agreeable fellow every day in the year. He is a scholar of con- siderable eminence, a loyal friend, and an all-round good fellow. John seems to have taken a special liking for Uncle Dan ' s subjects and the Military Science and Tactics; and during his sojourn at Wofford he has acquired the skill of a trained warrior. Elbert, we are deeply sorry to see you leave, and we want you to know that your association and friendship will manifest itself by the; memory that will continue to live in our hearts. But we feel that those who follow will find real inspiration in the splendid record that you have left here. We believe that your ever-present sense of duty will continue with you in life, and the Class of ' 26 sincerely hopes that success will crown your every effort in whatever you undertake. IFords arc like leaves; And uuhere they tnosl abound, Mucli fruit of sense Beneath is rarely found. SENIOR CLASS Gordon Holmes Fort, A.B Pelion, S. C.

To appreciate this quiet and reticent member of our class one has to know him. The qualities of his character lie deep and are not easily divulged. But to his friends he is known to possess a solidity of character and an unwavering will to act as he thinks right. Dependability and loyalty to his friends are ever apparent in him, and those who can count him as a friend are indeed fortunate. In the immaculateness of his attire and fine bearing, Jack is a modern Beau Brummel. Many wonder how he can appear thus, as none other can, but it seems to be his peculiar gift. Though disclosed to few, it is the fortune of this young man to possess much musical talent. A guitar or a tenor banjo really strut under his magic touch; and many there are who wonder how he does it. Nor is his talent confined to the field of music. From the number of dates he has, it would seem that he is a sheik ; but inside information says that only one fair lady is the object of his affections. Jack ' s career with us has proven him to be a diligent and consistent worker; and, in speaking of his future we can say, like the poet, Diligence has its reward. 7 am not merry; but I do beguile The thing 1 am, by seeming otlierivise.

A perfect stranger, in the proper surroundings, might be led to take this debonair young gentleman for a prince, a count, or some other young and titled notable, so assuming his air and so polished his deportment. Serious and thoughtful, with an air approaching bitterness, he might well indeed pass for one having the duties of state upon his shoulders. But by those of us who have had the privilege of probing beneath the cold and severe exterior, there has been found indeed a true nobility of heart and purpose in a rare combination of serious-mindedness, sarcastic humor, reserved friendliness, and sincere and unalloyed sympathy and understanding. There has been found character that is steeled for the guardianship of principle and honor, and a devotion to that which is highest and best in man. Such sterling cjualities, founded upon natural ability, early came to the forefront and gave promise of usefulness. From time to time, the faculty, the students, the literary body, and the athletic organization, called upon him to serve the interests of Wofford and the activities which go to make up campus life. Mac met each demand with modest and thoughtful consideration and executed the duties laid upon him with incomparable expedition and skill. Possessed of the spirit to befriend, he won many loyal and sincere friends within the faculty and students of Wofford, Converse, and among the people of Spartanburg. All these are proud of his friendship, confident of his worth and hopeful for his suc- cess and happiness. ' Life is not a tjohlet. to he drained, hut a measure to he filled.

Ed is usually the cognomen applied to the blond individual pictured above. He is a boy whom everyone likes and whom no one fully understands. He may be called, without fear of contradiction, the mystery of the Class of ' 26. Ed is known to every lassie far and near, and so far as anyone can casually learn, he has never been refused a date by any of the gentler sex. That light hair, those bewitching blue eyes, and an everready line seem to sweep all opposition of the ladies before him. To know Ed ' s ways and to understand his record in the classroom is something no one can fathom. He has been outstanding in scholarship every year, and has been given by the faculty the position of correcting freshman papers. Besides his other attainments, Ed is the college poet and literary genius of the class. He is also the champion of the modern girl, and when he sees an article be- wailing the younger generation of ladies, he immediately answers through the medium of the Journal, of which he is the editor. He allows no one to belittle the character of the modern girl. Listen! Ed speaks from experience; so it is well to read his articles. To his friends he is just a good, all-round boy, and the Class of ' 26 is proud to call him one of her sons. Heigh ho! Is life a merry dance?

Fourth Year — Anderson County Club; Varsity Football; Preston Literary Society. In Harold, Wofford has a son of whom she may be justly proud. Four years of moulding have elapsed, and the result is a man with noble character, strong person- ality and a disposition which has won for him the love and confidence of all his friends. Harold has taken an active part in athletics at Wofford . He showed up well on the freshman football team, but was too small of stature to make the varsity eleven. But Harold belongs to that class of athletes who get little but deserve most of the praise — the scrubs. He has made several much larger men put out to hold their places. He has displayed throughout his four years a spirit of loyalty unto death to his Alma Mater. After all, it is not the accomplishments of the athlete which count, but the spirit he displays. We admire Harold for this spirit. Ladies? Ah, that ' s where he shines! He has an attraction for the fair ones which is envied by us all. We wouldn ' t exactly call him sheikish, nor would we accuse him of using cave-man tactics. No; these are not the qualities in him which the girls admire. He ' s just an all-round man, whom we all love and for whom we wish merited success in Life. Honor and shame from no condition rise; Act ivell your part — t iere all the honor lies.

Bert came to us four years ago from Vance, S. C. This little town could not have sent us a finer specimen of her young manhood. He has made a wonderful record in scholarship ; other members of our class have found it impossible to keep up with him, although we have worked night and day to do it. The fact that he has made a good record should not lead vou to believe that he is a bookworm. He has found tirne to form friendships withi the fair sex. He will be missed almost as much by the maidens of this town as he will be by his most intimate classmates. Bert has made many friends among the boys because) he has been a friend. His friendly and unreserved disposition has drawn friends from every class on the campus. He always greets you with a smile and with words of cheer. We feel sure that he will win hundreds of friends with his winning personality when he goes out into the world, just as he has done here on the campus. He will be a great asset to any com- munity; his sterling character will be an uplifting force in his home town. It is with a marked degree of pride and satisfaction that the Class of ' 26 presents Bert to the world. We are proud to have known you for a classmate and friend, Bert. We know you will make a success in any kind of work you undertake. With best wishes for a great career, we say good-bye.

Immediately after his arrival here four years ago, Baker set out to win fame on the gridiron and at Converse. His success at both is common campus talk. Not content to be an athlete and ladies ' man alone, he also adapted himself seriously tO ' his scholastic work. His success along this line was recognized by his election to I. R. C, the most coveted scholastic honor on the campus. But in spite of the above-mentioned handicaps, Baker is business manager of The Bohemian, a position vhich shows the esteem in which he is held by his fellow students. Baker has a wonderful personality — and everyone who knows him cannot help but like him. One is indeed fortunate to be numbered among his friends. His ability to stick to anything which he undertakes has brought him success in all of his efforts. His ready wit and genial humor have endeared him to all who know him.

It is seldom that a class has the good fortune to claim a natural leader with the ability to accomplish really great things, the will to use this ability, and, above all, a powerful personality; but in Holcombe we find all of these traits portrayed. Holcombe ' s wonderful personality and ability as a leader is evidenced by the number of honors held by him. Perhaps the greatest honor of all is that of the Presidencv of the Honor System. In this branch of college activity Neville has shown superior character and leadership. Were it possible to portray one ' s personality and character in letters, it would indeed be a difficult task to do justice to Neville. Holcombe ' s executive ability is well demonstrated by this year ' s Bohemian, of which he was editor-in-chief. However, do not think that all of his endeavors were confined to activities beyond his classroom ; for Neville is one of the ablest students ever matriculated at Wofford. Nothing but success can come to a man with the character, personality and ability of Holcombe. Neville, we are watching you and expecting great things of you !

Frank, a man of character, intellect, and winning personality, who is six feet plus one inch in stature, has been sized up as one of the biggest-hearted men at Wofford. Anywhere, any time, he seizes an opportunity to help a fellow student. Frank is a loyal son of his Alma Mater. He may not be numbered among the warriors of the gridiron or diamond, but he is an earnest, hard-working track man, and an ardent tennis enthusiast. Boy, he really wields a wicket racquet on that ole ' ' backhand stroke. Frank ' s ability to orate was not discovered until his junior year, and, of course, the revelation occurred in Public Speaking class. Some had hopped the course for a crip, but not so with Frank. He believes one gets out of a thing what one puts into it. As a result, he has gained a wide reputation for studiousness. F. L. is not a sheik — neither is he bashful — but, inwardly he is a lover of the gentler sex. No telling how many are the lasses he has met, or how many are the broken hearts he has left behind. Frank, we all wish you the best of success in everything which you may undertake. No one can become a Duke in a year ' s time, but from the way the canteen was managed in ' 25 and ' 26, we predict a great future for you, Frank!

The Battle of Camden was entirely unnecessary to give that city a place in the Hall of Fame; for within a few! years C. B. will do that thing, if his college career is any index to his future. In C. B. we have a quiet, unassuming and dignified man. However, he is sociable, and under his calmness is that solidity of character which makes him worthy of the faith his friends have in him. Those who have talked with him know that he is true to his convictions, but practical and broad minded. Those who have closely associated with him know that he is frank, open, and sincere. Could a man with these qualities do anything less than succeed in whatever he should choose to do? While never an athlete, he is always found among the most loyal supporters of his Alma Mater. This is the case not only in athletics, but in anything that is uplifting to his fellow students. In classroom C. B. has a record of which few can boast. This is shown by his ability to get in the select few Mineralogy Class, where he continues to shoot Uncle Dan. Not only does he shine for Uncle Dan, but he seems to like Religious Edu- cation very much, too, and has the habit of shooting in that department. In fact, C. B. can be truly called a scholar. C. B., the Class of ' 26 hates to give you up ; but, knowing what is Wofford ' s loss is the world ' s gain, we bid you farewell. May Heaven crown your efforts with happiness and prosperity!

In every group of students there are some who are willing but not able, and others who are aiole but not willing. Rarely does one student combine the characteristics of both groups. But Tinks belongs to the class of those who can and will. It is very difficult — if not impossible — to portray Ivey ' s character and personality in the cold printed word. There is about him something elusively attractive — some- thing that will not be reduced to a formula, and that defies all attempts at definition. Those who know Tinks best like him best. It seems impossible that one could know him intimately and remain his enemy. He is richly endowed with all the graces which make men esteemed. Ivey ' s administrative ability and financial wizardry first became apparent when he was manager of varsity football. From that position he advanced to new triumphs until he came to be universally conceded one of the ablest members of the Class of ' 26. In fidelity to fact it must be recorded that Tinks has been seen on numerous occa- sions to emerge from the vicinity of Converse campus suspiciously aglow with the flush of triumph. Rumor says that his pathway is strewn with relics of conquest. However that may be, we who know Tinks are ever ready to affirm that no more thorough and honorable gentleman ever stepped out into the world from Woflord ' s doors — and happy the maid who can claim him for her own!

Wallace has so endeared himself to our hearts that we almost begrudge the world its gain in taking him from us. He is unassum- ing, witty, and friendly, always greeting everyone with a cheerful word and smile. By his witty originality, he can keep a group of students in uproarious laughter. He is indeed one of those rare finds — a gentleman and a scholar. He that can call him a friend is to be envied. Shorty is diminutive in size, but large in his mental and physical ability. On the track team he has made a name for himself as one of South Carolina ' s fastest men. When the starter ' s pistol is fired, K may be short-coupled, but he is long-gone, as many an opposing Nurmi has found out to his sorrow. Of Wallace ' s relations with the fair sex we know little; but of course, like all college boys, he is in love. Rumor has it that Wallace is one of the very few who have remained faithful to the girl back home. He has completely lost his heart, they say. Wallace has not chosen his life ' s career yet; but, whatever it may be, he is bound to succeed if he enters into it with the same determination that has marked his college activities. Good-bye, old pal. May God bless you and give you luck! We, the Class of ' 26, place in you our utmost confidence, knowing that you will ever be a credit to the name of your Alma Mater.

C. sent a man to Wofford College in 1923, who, after four years bringing out, seems destined even to surpass the greatness of his fellow townsman. For John Kellett has made an enviable record during his sojourn at our institution, and bids fair to do so during the remainder of his life. When applied to John, the saying, The best things come in the smallest pack- ages, is certainly true. But had Skillett been a little larger longitudinally and circumferentially, Wofford would surely have had another man on the all-state football team. His record on the gridiron has been a supreme example of persistence and moral courage. Although too small to make the first eleven, for four years he has consistently stuck out for the team from the first to the last practice, and there is no individual more responsible for Woflford ' s comeback in football than Skillett. It is an honor within itself to be counted among John ' s friends, and those few who have reached the inner circles of his heart justly consider themselves fortunate. With the fairer sex his winning smile and locks of black hair are irresistible. (See Winthrop.) Skillett, you have now crossed the bar, and are upon the stormy Sea of Life. But, if your ship is as true and strong as the one in which you overcame the breakers of college years, then your chart of brain and compass of character will guide you swiftly along the straight and narrow course to success.

C. It was only four short years ago that Corey came to us from Carlisle School, where he left a very creditable record. We fear that Carlisle did not realize all the dormant power that was stored away in this quiet, unassuming lad. Wofford furnished the proper environment for all the brilliant traits to assert themselves, and now he leaves a very glorious past as he spent it at Wofford. Corey is a true son of Wofford, supporting her in every activity and specializing in none. It is true that he has won no athletic laurels or literary fame, but he is indeed an earnest worker who has gained the respect of all those who know him. The true worth of such a faithful member of the Class of ' 26 can only be appreciated by those who are able to call him a friend. No truer or more sincere friend can be found anywhere, and all his friends know that his acts are only those that would become a gentleman. His success at Wofford is not the only one that he is able to boast of. It seems that his success at another institution is just as outstanding. Columbia seems to hold a very peculiar attraction for him, something like personal magnetism. In whatever profession he may choose to follow we feel sure that Corey will be successful. It is with a feeling of regret that the Class of ' 26 bids him farewell. ' Tis better to love one little girl lots, than lots of girls little. ' Drew Lagrone King, A.B A Z Poplar Creek, Miss.

This member of our class hails from, Mississippi. King started his college course at Mississippi A. and M. ; but, after completing his freshman year at that institution, he turned his face Woffordward and betook himself to our Alma Mater, where he has shown himself to be a true Wofford man. Though we could not call him a confirmed ladies ' man, he is always at ease among the members of the opposite sex. Among! the belles of our city he finds ample parking space for his heart. King has given us a good opinion of Mississippians ; for, during his three years at Wofford, he has shown us that he is made of solid stuff through and through. There appears to be, guiding and strengthening his life, a set of great and potent principles which hold him true to his course and add power and strength to his personality. Wofford realizes that for three years it has been a privilege to have this fine young man on her campus, and regrets to give him up as he receives his diploma and starts out into the world. But we know we must not be selfish. The world is in need of such men as King, and we must pass him on to a big position which we know is waiting for a man of his calibre. And so the Class of ' 26 breaks up and each of us goes his way into that Great Ad- venture we call Life. We shall all watch with a keen degree of interest the course of this young man who for three years has inspired us by his manly life and quiet ways.

First Year— Member Snvder Literary Society; Class Football; Member Anderson County Club. Second Year— Member Anderson County Club. Third Year— Member Anderson County Club. Fourth Year — Football Squad. Four years ago there came to WoflFord a husky freshman from the great city of Piedmont. This lad was none other than Samuel R. King. But to us he is just Sam. The first two years Sam was a little shy and reserved. He studied diligently and led a somewhat quiet life. But during the past two years Sam has broken loose from his quietness and entered into every college activity. This year he has made a success on the gridiron as one of Rip Major ' s guards. Not only does Sam stand well at Wofford, but also in other colleges in South Carolina. We have seen this by his numerous visits to Winthrop. It seems now that Sam is lost— that one maiden has stolen his heart. Maybe not, but if things do not change it looks like another good man has gone. Since coming to Wofford Sam has made many warm friends. He is known by his jovial disposition, his good nature, and the pleasant words to all he meets. He has been a diligent student, true to ideals and faithful to his Alma Mater in every respect. The future has a lot in store for you, Sam, and by your high ideals and winning personality we know that you should m.ake friends in life as you have at Wofford. We, the Class of ' 26, wish everything good for you. It is with regret that we give you up, Sam, but we know that the future will hold success a nd happiness.

Bo came to us from Hastoc — a fact of which that school can justly be proud. As can readily be seen, he is one of the most popular men of his class. He has, by his industry and natural ability, won for himself a high place in the college activities. In the classroom he ranks among the best. His work in the sciences has been excellent. Besides being a student of distinction, he has made fame for himself on the gridiron. A varsity man for three years, he was selected this year as captain of the team. He has played the game so well that he has been named as one of the All-S. I. A. A. eleven. As president of the Student Body, he has attained the highest honor that can be con- ferred upon a student. His sincerity and friendliness have made numerous friends for him on the campus and in the city. It is also rumored that he is not averse to the members of the gentler sex; at least it appears that he is concentrating his efforts upon one of their number, with no mean degree of success. Seldom does a college turn out a man better prepared to make a success in life. To know him is to love him, and to be one of his friends is an honor. For one of such varied and multiple abilities, we only do justice when we predict a brilliant and enviable future. Rare compound of quality, noble and true, IVitli plenty of sense and good humor, too. SENIOR CLASS Wilson Earle Koon, A.B Spartanburg, S. C. First Yrar — Preston Literary Society; Spartanburg County Club. Second Year — Preston Literary Society; Spartanburg- County Club; College Marshal. Tlilrd Year — Second Censor, Second Critic, Preston Literary Society; Spartanburg County Club. Fourth Yeai- — Vice- President, First Censor, Preston Literary Society; Secretary and Treasurer Economics II Club. Earle entered college a dignified and lanky freshman; he is now a senior, wiser and more dignified than ever. In his qtiiet way he has won the lasting friendship of many of his fellow students. His flight through the years has not been as that of the conceited and boastful hare, but it has been the steady, diligent course of the ultimate winner. This industrious scholar was rather slow in coming from under his shell and showing his talents to the world; but when he did emerge it was with colors flying. In his studies he has proved himself a student of high intellectual standing. He has especially distinguished himself in History and Economics; and we are already seeing sign of a second Dune in Earle. When entering college, Earle realized the importance of being a fluent speaker, and how much oratory would increase his chance for success in the world. With this view in mind, he entered the Preston Literary Society, and his many honors there show the effort of four years of hard work. Earle has a record of which he should be proud. He has passed four years of studies successfully without ever failing on a single subject, and barely missing the mark of distinction. We know that whatever he undertakes he will accomplish success- fully, and we all wish him a useful and happy life. Success comes only to those ivlio are honest, industrious, persistent.

Band; Musical Manager Glee Club; Calhoun Literary Society. Thirrt Y ' ear — R. O. T. C. Band; Manager Glee Club; President, Vice-President, First Critic, First Censor, Calhoun Literary Society. When O ' Neal was born, all the gods of music, ancient and modern, began at once to look to their laurels. If any human ever entered the world endowed with gifts beyond those possessed by their fellows, O ' Neale is doubly favored. He has the musician ' s natural instinct for music, and an instrument is yet to be discovered that is beyond the scope of his intimate knowledge of all the arts of music. His work on the Glee Club has brought fame to his Alma Mater and honor to himself. This year the responsible position of manager of the Glee Club was fittingly awarded him in recognition of his ability and value to the organization. Those of us who have known O ' Neale during his college course will always re- member his sincerity, his willingness to help a friend in need, and his rollicking good nature. Almost all of us have been placed under obligation to him at one time or another by a generous lift. Rumor says — we do not confirm the report — that O ' Neale has finally abandoned his philanderous proclivities and centered his attentions on only one. If such be a bad sign, we quake for O ' Neale ' s safety. The world needs men of O ' Neale ' s type. It is this conviction which reconciles Wofford to the loss of her worthy son. His classmates are watching him, and expect- ing the world soon to recognize and reward his many fine qualities. music be the food of, love, play on!

In the fall of 1923 there drifted upon the campus of the Alma Mater a young man who quickly won his way to the esteem and confidence of his classmates. When the class elections were over, E. D. found himself president of the rats ; and from that day on he has held among the students a popularity and respect seldom attained by a college man. E. D. has a winning personality, and his rare sense of humor, his congeniality, and his ability to entertain have made him a ready favorite among both sexes. He never takes things too seriously, nor does he ever permit worries and vexations to cast the palest shadow over his jocular nature; hence we have deduced the very obvious fact that E. D. is a roving blade and a free lance among those of the gentler sex. As a classroom bull artist, Bonar Law has reached pre-eminent distinction; and the profs take his line seriously, too, for he has made an excellent record in scholarship during his entire college career. He is peculiarly gifted in the unravelling of labyrinthine coils of psychological problems and the oft-hidden philosophy and nature lore of the Ancient Romans. E. D., we bid you bon voyage ; we feel confident of your future; we give you our best wishes. He lulio loves not ivine, vjomen, and song, Remains a fool lis whole life long.

His countenance is expressive and thoughtful ; his eye powerful and intelligent. He is warm-hearted and generous in his affections, and throughout his college life has dis- played a constant attachment to his friends. Kid is a noble youth, possessed of many sterling qualities. He is the embodiment of dignity and all that bespeaks a high- toned gentleman. He is the sunshine of genial nature, and we have always entertained the very highest regard for his rare personality, his delightful companionship, his un- swerving fidelity to every trust, his deferential manner, his unselfish generosity, and his character of sterling excellence. His modesty is worthy of wide imitation, and he has the highest ideals of fine, clean, strong manhood. Profoundly significant is his deep-seated instinct for fair play, his shrewdness of perception, and his cordial good will to all men. Although Kid was put to a distinct disadvantage by a prolonged visit to the infirmary during his freshman year, he has, by a buoyant optimism and by radiant hopes and earnest efforts, made up the lost time; and the Class of ' 26 is proud to claim him as a member. His strength of will and positive nature give him a personality that has won for him many friends, who wish for him great success in the future.

One Lung, Speedy, or any of his various other nicknames, is one of the most popular boys on the campus. Any campus movement must have his sanction before suc- cess can be assured. There are always a few boys on every campus around which the school activities are centered, and Speedy is the outstanding member of this select circle here. It is onlv through his magnetic personality and impartial dealings that he has been able to reach his envied and honored position. No truer friend is possible than One Lung — a man with whom sacrifice is common. He is the man who brought Green Sea to the land. Speedy upholds his home town, and, indeed, it should be proud to claim him as her own. At football he is a demon. Grange would be taken out should he try to pierce through the stone wall put up by Speedy. His powerful physique, combined with his superior mentality, makes him a perfect man. He is the source of envy by many who are not as fortunte in natural endow ment. Not only these qualities, but a pleasing manner and untiring scholarship have endeared him to the hearts of the students and the members of the faculty. But we fear that Cupid ' s perpetual darts will pierce the heart of One Lung, and he will settle down, to the disappointment of many others, to be with the One and Only. With the ever growing qualities which made him a success in college, the greater future success of One Lung is assured. Adieu, Speedy! Hoiv dull it is to pause, to make an end, To rust unburnished, not shine in use. SENIOR CLASS Neil Allard Lewis, A.B 2 A E Tabor, N. C. First Year — Corporal, R. O. T.

In bidding farewell to Silence, Wofford loses one of her noblest sons. True charac- ter is the aim of every wise man ' s life, and to meet a man whose life is predominated by actions which attest to his superior character is indeed an honor in these days of doubt and cynicism. True character and noble manhood are synonymous terms. Yes, Neil is truly a man. His record in the classroom makes true his mental claim to man- hood. His gentlemanly deportment among his fellow students on the campus for four years has well shown him to be a man of moral fiber. Added to this, Neil is a deep and comprehensive thinker. To picture in glowing terms the true worth of Silence to his class and to society at large would be pleasant, but the limited space arrests us. He leaves us with an enviable record behind and a bright prospect ahead. A true friend one will find Neil to be, if only one will give him an opportunity to express his friendship. He is full of wit and humor; but, unlike many others, he knows just when to express them. After all has been said, we find him as true as steel, and we know that Green Sea feels complimented in having him as a citizen. Adieu, Neil; good luck, and live up to your motto!

Even though this condition exists, Rupecker generally calls somewhere in New Holland his home, sweet home. However, being a product of The Land of the Little Folk — which surely you would not judge him to be — he does not resemble his ancestry in stature. Even though this fair lad is reserved, quiet, and dignified, he has taken quite an active part in the various activitie s on the campus. Especially has he shown his sterling quality on the tennis court. We stand in amazement toi watch this veritable Little Bill Tilden in action. He has been faithful, conscientious, and unassuming in his studies, which has won for him a record of merit. As you clearly see, his name, Rupecker, was derived from his ability in German IL Along with this he continually shot Mace in calculus. We assume that if occasion should arise he could adequately use his knowledge of the shortest distance between two points (!) to a great advantage. As a friend, Rupecker is sincere and trustworthy. He always possessed a feeling of brotherly love in that he did not try to monopolize the fair sex, but felt that the other boys should share in a few of his laurels along this line. Little did the Little Folk realize what potential powers lay within this f air product of theirs. We feel that there is a tender force that will call him back; and there in his native land he will use those latent powers to stop some leak that would otherwise prove disastrous. dare Jo- all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none.

Someone has said that the really valuable things of life come in small packages. When the Class of ' 26 entered Wofford College four years ago, there was one of our number found to be of Lilliputian stature. We wondered what this diminutive speci- men of young manhood would do as our class journeyed on over the rocky road to graduation. As we come to the end of the trail, however, we find that Bob has shown evidences of greatness in every way except that of size; and — well, he can ' t help that. Bob has shown those qualities which really count for most in life. By his sunny disposition and genial manner he has won his way into the hearts of all of us, and we feel that in Bob we have a classmate who will some day bring honor to the Class of ' 26. Bob is a quiet sort of a fellow, going silently about the campus attending to his own business or driving peacefully over the city in his little Twinkle with only a word or two to an occasional traffic cop who gets a little peeved at him when his speed- ometer registers aiound fifty. But Bob could smash up his Star car and still be a fast man. On the cinder path he has proved himself a valuable asset to Wofford ' s Track Squad. Bob doesn ' t say what he is planning to do next year; but we know that all pro- fessions are in need of men of Bob ' s type. And so, though small in stature, Bob, we know that you are going to fill a big place out in the world. ' Tis llie modest man ripens, ' Tis he that achieves.

Second Year — Recording Secretary, Calhoun Literary Society. Third Yeai Recording Secretary, Calhoun Literary Society. Marion came to us from Carolina, which impressed us at the outset that he was a man of rare intelligence. He is a sort of a hard person for us to understand sometimes. He seems to want to go through college unwept, unhonored, and unsung, and that is kind of hard for us to understand. We want to see him take the anchor off his ability, and let it run rampant for awhile; not too long, though, for we fear that he would achieve such eminence as to deprive us of his company. Marion is cursed with a trait of genius, and things come to him a little too easy for his own good. Perhaps Marion is conserving his energy to apply to his life ' s work. It has been rumored around the campus that he has already chosen his profession— and truly it is an honorable one. For those of us who fear all manner of ills and pains in our declining days, it is a source of comfort and satisfaction to us to know that we will be minis- tered to by Dr. Michaux, and that our pains will be alleviated and our sorrows dissi- pated through his skill. Those of us who keep tab on things social were inclined to believe that Marlon was forming an alliance at Converse at one time, but the treaty fell through for some reason or other, and now Marion is a sadder but wiser man. At any rate, there are no contracts pending now, and feminine hearts throb and palpitate no longer at the other end of Marion ' s line — at least not at Converse. As for down in Dillon — well, we won ' t divulge any secrets there, but will let everyone make his own cRscoveries. He holds the rank no king can give, no station can disgrace Nature puts forth her gentleman, and monarchs must give place. SENIOR CLASS James Allen McCain, A.B Greenville, S. C.

James is another proof of the fact that it is worth something to have distinguished forebears. It is not on account of what his foreparents were, however, that we like Jimmie. It is he himself. He is, perhaps, one of the youngest graduates that Wofford has had for years; but natural intelligence has enabled him to outdo many members of his class. An inborn versatility has showed itself in the great variety of college activities which have claimed his atention. He has been intimately connected with a half dozen literary organizations of the campus; with varsity athletics, with religious life, and with numerous social activities. In all of his many interests, he has displayed a touch of brilliance unmixed with affectation. He is still too youthful for one to hazard a guess as to what he will become, but his all-round qualities are sufficient to indicate that there are a number of undertakings in which he may distinguish himself — an event which many good friends and class- mates sincerely desire and confidently expect. Variety is ihe spice of life. SENIOR CLASS John William McCoy, A.B Oswego, S. C. liirst Ypar— Member Snyder Literary Society; Carlisle School Alumni Association; O.

Somewhere on the map of South Carolina there is to be found the City of Oswego This city sent to WoflFord in ' 22 one of her best citizens— our much-esteemed friend, Cocoanut. He has for four years braved the winds of chance, and has suc- ceeded in accomplishing the tasks he set out to do. „ , , , Although not a participant in any form of athletics, Wofford hasn t a more en- thusiastic supporter than Cocoanut. He was always to be found on the sidelines cheering his team on to victory, suffering with them in defeat and rejoicing with them in victory. He possesses the never say die spirit, and has a cheerful word to give to every member of the team, even when the worst comes to the worst. For reasons best known to himself alone, Cocoanut did not seem to have any desire or time to spend upon the fair sex of Spartanburg. He had a ready smile to give all; yet almost every time he gave a very polite, but firm refusal to all their invitations. This has been the cause of much wonder to his many friends, and they wonder if there isn ' t some girl securely hidden from their view, that retains all of his affections. j • • • i. u No student on the campus has more friends than Cocoanut, and it is with a Heavy heart that we send him from among ourselves into a new field of life. However, we realize that he has a task to accomplish, and we feel that to keep him vvould be cheating South Carolina out of one of her most promising citizens. Therefore, we bid him Godspeed and wish for him a life of happiness and great success! A nickname is the hardest stone The Devil can throuu at a man.

Crip, as he is popularly known on the campus, came to us from Anderson, and during his stay with us has made a large circle of friends, not only on the campus but in the City of Success as well. Crip can boast of being a loyal supporter of the Old Gold and Black because of having attended every home game with but one exception. We hold him in high esteem for this honorable and magnificent record. Hopeful, pleasant, generous and kind, he has the salient characteristics of noble manhood. He possesses a cheerful disposition and magnetic personality. He is un- familiar with the term worry. He is by no means devoid of serious thought, and has, without doubt, a sound philosophy of life. He is a perfect representation of man- hood and noble grandeur. He is master of a remarkable initiative. He is loyal to his friends because he believes friendship to be a sacred association. We feel honored by having Crip listed in the Class of ' 26. It is a known fact that Crip is a winner of smiles from the fair sex. With his congeniality and charming personality he has gained great ability in the world of ro- mance. So by no means the least of Crip ' s accomplishments is his proficiency in the gentle art of heart-smashing. Although he has never stated his profession for life, we predict for him a glorious and happy future. Let me live in 0 house by the side of the road, And be a frie nd to man.

Three years ago there appeared on our campus a small package, whose contents, albeit, were highly important. This package was none other than Walton James McLeod, Jr., of Lynchburg, S. C. Almost immediately the affectionate name of Stumpy was given him, owing to his shortness of stature. Although Stumpy has been with us only three short years, there has been ample time for him to gain an entrance into many hearts on the campus. He is decidedly a popular member of the Senior Class. As a friend, he is invaluable; as a gentleman, he is unsurpassed. Those who know him intimately, as well as those who know him casually, recognize in him a combination that is almost impossible to formulate in mere words. In short, Stumpy has that much desired quality known as a charming personality. There is no question as to his intellectual ability, as he is accomplishing in three years what the average student does in four. His scholastic record is one that is to be envied. Stumpy has proven himself to be a man with a purpose in life, one who will be missed fromi the campus and one of whose record, we feel sure. Old Wofford will be proud. A man ' s a man for a ' that.

When the portals opened to the Freshman Class in 1922, there strode into the college a curly-haired boy with a diploma from Westminster High School ; and now, after a journey of four years, this same lad of yesterday leaves with prospects of becoming as great as many of the notable resting in the Abbey of that name. Yes, it is prin- cipally on account of those same blue eyes and curly locks that his companions have dubbed him Sheik. We say principally, for to say more might involve another sex, generally known as the fairer. Three of Coke ' s many virtues stand out and make him the man he is today. His modesty could be compared to that of a blushing girl, and he always puts others in the foreground. His humbleness is hardly exceeded by that of Moses himself. And Coke possesses a spirit of fellowship and brotherhood that has v on for him a countless number of real, true friends, made him liked by all who know him, and caused him to be welcomed in any campus circle. In his class work there is no more consistent and dependable student. In the Literary Society he has taken an active part and his work is beyond criticism. The fact that Coke has not definitely decided on a life work does not deter us from making a prophecy of his future; for after knowing him in his college life, we cannot but say that he will be a success. -- - ' Tins above all: to thine O ' lvn self be true; And it must follow, as night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.

There are just a few in the class whose literary talents are worthy of cultivation, but those of Doc must be continued. His thinking is at a level which most of us will never reach, and his words always demand the attention of the faculty. His depth of reason and his ability to put these reasons into print will demand the attention of the public, if he should choose to follow the calling of journalism. His witty and wise sayings which appear in the college weekly are the source of never-ceasing comment on the campus. As a student and a writer, Doc is unsurpassed by any one on the campus, and his success is assured in either of these professions. Due to the fact that he stayed in town during the first three years of his college course, Doc was not very active in college activities; but on his coming into the dor- mitory in his senior year he became one of the most active members of the class. He has a pleasing personality, and he has made a host of friends, both among the student body and the faculty. By championing the worth of the younger genera- tion, and especially the girls, in the college publications, he has earned a warm place in the hearts of many fair ones at Converse.

Look once more — beneath the super- ficial — and see a thorough gentleman, a loyal friend, and an honorable student! We who have known Francis during his college career count the association indeed a privilege. Those past four years have been replete with new and strange experiences; we have had our disappointments as well as our delights; yet the years have been hallowed by the friendships formed on the campus — and Francis is one of the friends who has cheered us along the way. In every group of students there are one or two who are jovial and cheerful, yet dependable in a pre-eminent degree when occasion calls. Such students are heeded, their counsel bears the weight of tested judgment, and we habitually turn to them in our perplexities. Such a man is Francis. It would be difficult to say whether Francis were better known on Converse Campus or on his own. He is a fairly constant habitue of the parlors in the Paradise Over the Hill, and no Converse student ' s social career is quite complete without a date with him. He is considered, we venture to say, the most eligible graduate of ' 26. Francis ' admiration of the fairer ones is his misfortune rather than his fault. But we have no quarrel with those who dress fastidiously and are popular with the Daughters of Eve, provided they are worthy of the friendship of their truest friends — and Francis is that!

Indeed, Pat possesses a jolly disposition. He has always met everyone with a smile and a happy countenace. During his college career he has made many friends, true an I sincere, who wish him success in life. Pat has never taken any great part in athletics, due to the fact that the major part of his time has been taken up in intensive study. However, his preparation has not been wasted, for he has shown great mental energy and ability in the classroom. He has always been admired by his professors and fellow students. But not ail of his spare time out of the classroom has been spent in study, for a great part of it has been spent with the fair sex. He has made a real hit with the Hub City damsels, but it is now rumored that he has a girl in the nearby town of Union, who has complete control over his affections. We have no idea what Pat intends to do as a life work, but whatever it may be, we have no doubt that his upright character, pleasing Irish smile, and well trained mind will bring him honor and success. Pat, we, the Class of ' 26, wish you happiness along the Path of Life! Yesterday is already a dream and loinorroav is only a vision; but today, well lived, makes of every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrovj a vision of hope.

Pat ' s boosting spirit has been responsible for his marked success in college. Since his freshman year he has cultivated it by giving his friends a push when things have seemed rather dull. A tribute has been paid to his ability as a leader by his unparalleled success as president of the Christian Fellowship Club, Pi Kappa Delta, and the Canterbury Club. He has maintained his early success as an orator throughout his college course. Despite the fact that his activities have been in many fields, yet all his tasks have been performed with that zeal that marks him as a man of exceptional ability. In short, our feeble hand is unable to pen his true worth and sing his deserved praises. We bid you adieu for a short time, Pat, for we know that somewhere dow n the pathway of life we will .meet you and enjoy again the warmth of your smile and the comfort of your comradeship. Until then, ' ' Hail and farewell! ' Let me live in a house by the side of the road, And he a friend to man. S E I R S S George Parker Pettigrew, A.B Starr, S. C.

Some call him Strav ' berry ; some, Red ; others, Speck ; but it doesn ' t matter what you call him — he is the same fellow. Straw came to us in the fall of ' 22, after spending a year at Clemson. He de- cided to become a professional man instead of a farmer. Believing that Wofford was the best school in the state, he decided to cast his lot with us. In baseball, Strawberry is to Wofford what Babe Ruth is to the Yankees — home- run king. He has been one of Wofford ' s outstanding players for three years. He planted himself in one of the outer gardens and played his position as no other could. Straw is known throughout the state for his heavy hitting; and, when he comes to the bat, the fielders unconsciously move back. Baseball is not the only activity in which Straw is an ace. A sheik? No, we wouldn ' t exactly call him a Valentino, but his red hair, shining blue eyes, and winning smile seem to attract them in some mysterious manner. Everyone will miss Straw when he has gone. He has a winning personality and has won many warm friends at Wofford. He has been a leader in every activity and has been a worthy student. It is with regret that we part; but we know that the future holds success for you, Straw. We hate to give you up, but as you enter the new field of life, we know that your future will be one of success, usefulness and happiness. Yo, ho, ho, for a bottle of rum.

Fourth Year — Member Snyder Literary Society; Member Wofford Fitting School Club; Member Spartanburg County Club; Commissioned Officer, R. O. T. C. Did anyone ever see Avery when he was not in a hurry? Truly, he is the most energetic boy in the class, and as this quality is the fundamental of success, can there be any doubt as to the certainty of his success? Friends are priceless, and no man could have a truer and more sincere friend than Avery. For two years he endured the hardships at P. C, but, at length, recognizing his fatal error, he came to Wofford to finish with her greatest class. Avery has made a mark worthy to be imitated by those whose hope it is to be recognized as a true and loyal friend. He is the kind of man whom the lovers of worth admire, and the lovers of slothfulness criticize. Steadfast in his convictions, loyal to his friends and Alma Mater, he has entwined himself about our hearts, and we regret to part with him now. He has successfully mixed fun with his search for wisdom. The world of romance has no more responsive implement than the winning smile which is ever ready with ' him. In questions of fraternal matters he has always been found to be on the right side; and every student is his friend. No man could be otherwise, for he combines a genial personality with a ready smile, and is never unsympathetic. He is blessed with an unfailing wit, and with it a soul-stirring fidelity to whatever trust he is called upon to bear. In whatever line of human interest Avery may follow, he will always be an organizer and administrator. Such is our opinion of Avery.

Fourth Year — Snvder Literary Society; Spartanburg County Club; Economics II Club. One could hardly recognize this refined and cultured j ' oung gentleman as the wild freshman who came into our midst four years ago. College life has wrought wonders in him. He possesses the ability to enjoy a glorious good time, and yet do excellent scholastic work. His ability to shoot Dune and Rast is nothing short of marvelous. His greatest ability is yet unmentioned. That is his ability to captivate the girls. We understand that for the past three years he has taken a campus course at Lime- stone College — to say nothing of Winthrop and others too numerous to mention. One very remarkable trait of his character is his rare wit. When so minded he can keep one laughing for hours at a time by his brilliant sallies of wit. However, it is reported that many a freshman has laughed at the wrong time — and lived to regret it. We predict for Poole a promising — yea, a brilliant — career in the future. For the things which he cannot obtain by his true merit, personality, and argument, he is sure to get with his sky-blue eyes and his million-dollar smile. The greatest thing that one may say of any man we say of Poole — that he is a true friend and a real man worthy of the name.

Innumerable times on the gridiron has he blasted the hopes of opposing captains. In fact, as a tackle, he is the best that ' s made. Tom has played football four years for Wofford. Though he played extraordinarily well during his first season, he seemed to get better and better each succeeding year. Numerous coaches throughout the South have time after time named him as fit to occupy the mythical All-Southern eleven. If Tom plays the game of life as well as he does that of football — and we are sure he will — we shall see great things of him in the future. Toms ' friends are as numerous as his acquaintances, for it is not hard to discern the sterling qualities of such a man as he is. The better you know him, the more you like him. Football is only one of Tom ' s many activities. He made a block in basketball his first year; and every year he has been a brilliant star on the track team. For a friend, one could want no better than Pressley. To one who has the honor of being his close companion he is known as a man of untarnished honor, true worth, and absolute integrity. We feel sure that the future will bring great success to him, for no one is more deserving than he is. When he is gone, all of us will miss him greatly, and Coach Major will have a difficult time finding someone to fill his place. As a true friend, honorable gentleman, and real man, Tom has no equal. Though we at Wofford hate to give him up, we are proud to send to the world such a man as Tom. dare to do all that may become a tnan; Wlio dares do more is none.

Fourtli Year — Varsity Football; Block W Club; President Snyder Hall Executive Committee; President Lee County Club; First Lieutenant, R. O. T. C. Legend has it that strange behavior of Nature heralded the birth of this buxom son of Bishopville. However that may be, it is evident now that the occasion was destined to mean much to those who should be fortunate enough to know Frog. Reames shines most brilliantly on the old gridiron. He has rung up many laurels for his Alma Mater in his favorite sport, and has made a name for himself that will not soon be forgotten. The mere mention of his name has often struck cold terror to the hearts of many aspiring football foes. Everyone concedes that Frog is the best defensive back known in all the galaxy of VVofford stars — past and present. It is not only on the athletic field that Frog has scored triumphs. With a per- sonality that is seldom matched and never excelled in its rare good humor, he is af- fectionately known and admired on at least two campuses in Spartanburg. Considering all, however, he has shown quite a remarkable degree of indifference to the blandish- ments of those whose deadliest weapons are tears. Frog serenely keeps the tenor of his way, while maidens sigh and cast amorous glances and wonder why he will be so indifferent to those who seek to lure him from his state of single blessedness. We cannot, however, believe that he presents an impregnable front to all the Daugh- ters of Eve. We are strongly of the opinion that his apparent indifference is only evi- dence of his devotion to an absent one whom he hopes one day to make happy. Well, so long, Frog ; here ' s to you, old boy!

A gallant son of Branchville, the bustling, metropolis in the land of vast open cotton fields, where a man ' s a man and a boll weevil is a member of the family; a land flowing with milk and moonshine. Roaming the swamps of the Edisto by day with a shotgun over his shoulder in search of game, the highways of his section by night, in a Ford coupe, the shotgun replaced by the arm of an Orangeburg county flapper, this roaming Romeo blossomed into the flower of sheikhood, destined to become one of the most polished dance hounds that ever did the Charleston on a Spartanburg dance floor. D. L., during his four years in Spartanburg, has found that wide open spaces may be used for something other than raising cotton — namely, shooting golf. Taking up the game on the old Senior Hall golf course, he has spread out and, playing on the courses around the City of Success, is today furnishing warm competition for some of the older and more experienced golfers of the city. But, running through the mystic fabric of the make-up of this promising member of our class is something which assures us that he is going to be a success in life. Deep down in the inmost recesses of his being are those sterling qualities — frankness, dependability, reasoning power, straight-forwardness, congeniality — which are the fun- damentals of success. We bid you farewell, old pal, and we will always keep a place in our memory dear to you. Best of luck! Of the Past — Mindful Of the Present — Heedful Of the Future — Hopeful.

They christened him LeRoy, but everybody calls him Sunshine. We do not know how or why the name fastened itself upon him. Probably in days agone, someone, seeing how his presence brought balmy smiles to maidens ' faces, and remembering how the flowers bloom and blossom beneath the sun ' s genial touch, borrowed the figure from Nature. However that may be, we know now that Sun- shine ' s absence means the deepest night to many who live Away Out East on Main; and we shudder when we contemplate the gloom that will reign there when Sunshine ' s jovial presence will grace its halls no more. If the ability to make friends easily and keep them always is a favorable indi- cation, Sunshine is certain to live long and prosper. His enemies could be numbered on the fingers of an armless man. Yet he is not flaccid or temporizing in character as foeless men usually are; he is simply a man with a disposition that is friendly, frank, and sincere. Duplicity is not one of his vices. Senior write-ups in a college annual are like epitaphs — one goes through and wonders what has become of all the unworthy ones. We are not praising Sunshine, however, because it is in order. Any student on the campus at any time will bear us out in our assertions. Sunshine leaves Wofford with the best wishes of his fellows, with the blessing of his Alma Mater, and with the highest expectations of all whose privilege it is to know him. His smile is tlie lake luhich the breeze is upon, tClien it breaks into dimples and lauylis in the sun. SENIOR CLASS John Frank Rogers, A.B Woodruff, S. C.

The thriving town of Woodruff glories in the fact that Frank is her native son. It was a day of gloom, they say, when he departed for old Wofford ' s- halls; and it still is a gala occasion when he returns home for a visit. It is difficult to characterize Frank in a limited space. His versatility is one of his most fortunate attributes — a musician, a singer, a Beau Brummel, a divan ace, and others too numerous to mention. Frank is usually considered one of the handsomest men in the class. Yet he is free from that fault which is the common curse of good looking men — conceit. He is open, frank, courteous, and a friend to all. We do not know in what field Frank will employ his talents; some say law, and some say he aspires to be a magnate in the textile world. We who know him venture the prophecy that his highest hopes and ambitions — whatever they are — will be realized. In fact, it is inconveivable to imagine that one with his qualities could fail. In summarizing briefly Frank ' s characteristics it must be recorded that he is the idol of those who weep when words will not avail. Despite their efforts to lure him from his state of taciturnity, he is adamant. It may be that his affections are already pledged; or again it may be that, since his love is deep, it is not lightly given. Who can tell ? At any rate, we who know Frank deem the lady fortunate indeed whose favor he consents to wear in the Joust of Life. ' Let me live in a house by the side of thei, road, And be a friend to man.

The terpsichorean artist who hails from Branchville, S. C. His presence on Wofford campus for the last four years has meant more than a mere addi- tion to the Class of ' 26. Ed has helped put his home town on the map by his pep, personality, and that rare thing of being an idol among the fair sex. In the classroom Ed w-as not the brightest of scholars, hut he managed to get through with a respectable grade, which is saying no small thing. Everybody knows Ed asl his friend, and he has won a Dlace in the hearts of both faculty and students. There is no question about it; he will be greatly missed. He was always on the go, here and yonder, cheering up the boys and making college life worth while. Never was there a fellow more interested in seeing his fellow classmates have an enjoyable time. From this Ed is sure to enjoy a prosperous and happy life; because you can ' t keep a good man down. Ed 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 reason. He stands a good hand with the ladies; and whenever there is a big dance on anywhere he can be counted upon to continue his unbroken record of attenda nce. In saying farewell to you, just remember, old man, that you carry with you the esteem and affection of every one of your college mates, the same fellows that have known you as a true blue man for four long years. Ed, old pal, you are in tor a great future. Here ' s luck to you wherever you may wander! Let me li ve in a Iious. by the side of tlie road, And be a friend to man.

Four years ago from the sand hills of Lexington County came this courteous, con- genial, and cheerful type of manhood. His good common sense and humor have made for him a wide circle of friends. There has been enfolded in the archives of this insti- tution the names of a large number of magnificent men, but it is doubtful if in its vast sweep across the area of time it has recorded the history of a more perfect character than that of our friend, Scho. He is a man of decided ability and varied and liberal attainments, with great firmness of decision. In discharging his duties of college life he has been eminently fair, able and prompt. His honorable and successful college career can well be help up as an example to en- courage and inspire those who follow him. If space would permit, we could easily name the traits which are the chief agencies in the development of his splendid manhood. Honor, sympathy, courage, and duty are the conspicuous jewels in the crown of his superb character. Scho can boast of getting off more work in four years than any other man who has ever matriculated at Wofford. He came to us from grammar school, and has made his fifteen units and completed his college course in four years. We admit that this is a brilliant record. He also holds the distinction of being the oldest man to graduate from this institution. He will have reached his fortieth milestone when he comes to his long-wished-for goal. He will be missed on the campus, but we shall cherish the kindliest remembrance of him. The beginning of knoiulcdgc is indeed hitter, but the end is siveet.

It is with no little pleasure that we present the gentleman named above — one of those prodigies, a three-year man. He is a man of decided abilities and varied and liberal attainments, with great firmness and decision. Judge came to us in the fall of 1923, after spending a year at the Fitting School, and since then he has progressed steadily and surely. The last long mile is ended; the long-wished-for goal is here. The diploma and class ring have been achieved, and everlasting friendship made. What more can a man wish. ' ' Those who know Judge best have found him always the truest of true friends, and a man whom anyone could trust with anything. In discharging his duties, he is eminently fair, courteous, able and prompt; and by reason of his genial tempera- ment and charming personality is a most acceptable friend and student. Honor, sympathy, sincerity, courage and duty are the precious and conspicuous jewels in the crown of his superb character.

Griff, after having made a brilliant record at Wofford Fitting School, came to us in the Fall ' of ' 22; and having lived up to this record, he is noted on the campus for his intellectual qualities. G. G. has never taken any part in athletics, but has been at all times a loyal supporter of the Old Gold and ' Black. Instead of engaging in these various activities, he has devoted his leisure time in association with the fair sex. He has a place in his heart for them, we all agree, that cannot be replaced with anything else. George ' s character is as a clear day — neither darkness nor shadow rests upon it. There is nothing hidden that should not be known. The dignity of his manhood spurns all that is mean and worthless and his virtues lend a charm of manner and social at- tractiveness that gives him pre-eminence among his fellow students. He is a nrian of rare ability and charming personality, noted for his great achievements and literary activities. He is broadminded and his great heart is full of kindness and human sympathy. His loyalty to his friends has reached in its intensity the point of genuine chivalry. Judging from his successful college career, we can predict only success for him, because failure knows him not. Griff, the Class of ' 26 is proud of you, and bids you a farewell with regret. Of all tlie joys I ' m able lo recall, Being in love is lite best of all.

As the sun was slowly sinking in the far west on a late September day in ' 23, the Carolina Special fought its way over the hills and once more brought to Wofford its load of aspirants for a college degree. Among this number was the man whose beaming countenance greets you from this page. Jake came to us after spending a few years at Carlisle, where he made a splendid record. He has proven to be a man of great ability by completing the four- year course in three years. But aside from his studies he has had time to be an aspiring athlete and a social success as well. Jake made the freshman football and football squads; but on account of an operation he was unable to go out for the varsity football team. Nevertheless, he made up for lost time on the baseball diamond. Although he did not make a block. Coach Major considered him an important man by taking him on all trips. About his social success, ask any of the fair sex in the vicinity of the City of Success, and they will tell you that he holds a position attained only by a few. Not only is he popular with the fair lassies; but because of his humor, smile for everyone, and winning personality, Jake has made life-long friends of everyone on the campus. Jake, we shall miss you in every way, and feel that no one can take your place. Thus, old man, we bid you godspeed on the road to success, and may every day bring a bountiful harvest to you !

Always full of the sunshine of life, ever ready to enjoy a good laugh, and gifted with adroit skill to please and entertain, he has been, indeed, an asset to the remarkable Class of ' 26. But he has his serious moments, his periods of reflection and introspection, and to his friends he has shown the real sincerity and depth of his nature. To speak of his ability, it is sufficient to say that he has the distinction of being the youngest graduate of the Class of ' 26. Jimmie is especially to be commended for his musical talent. An ardent lover of music himself, he has shown unusual skill with clarinet and sax ; and the melodies drawn from the reeds have many a time won for him the admiration of the fairer sex. And his musical artistry, coupled with an unerring adroitness to hand out a line, has made him a lion among gentle society. We bid you farewell, Jimmie, and we know that, whatever the future holds in store, you ' ll find success and happiness along the Highway of Life.

In every large group of men there is usually one who stands out, head and shoulders, above the rest. In our case it has been Steve, who, by exhibiting those qualities which make for sturdy manliness and true worth of character, and by earnest and loyal devo- tion to the tasks which have confronted him, has arisen to a place of leadership on our campus. Throughout his college course Steve has maintained a quiet and placid mood of conduct; never boisterous, at no time exhibiting undue rowdiness; but always showing that enviable quality of placidness which is typical of manhood of the highest order. Steve is above the average in depth of thought and seriousness of purpose. He can converse on any topic, and is a diligent reader and lover of good literature. But Steve is able to create good literature as well as appreciate the works of others. From his pen have come, during his college course, contributions to the Journal written in a style that would make Ruskin envious. In leaving Wofford, Steve is leaving behind a record which may well serve as a goal for rising Seniors. As president of the Y. M. C. A., as business manager of the Journal, as president of Central Epworth League, as a specimen of fine Christian young manhood, Steve has served as a source of inspiration for all of us. And now as we separate we feel that we are really not bidding Steve good-bye, for we are looking to hear much about him in the future in connection with those things which are high and noble and just and for the betterment of mankind.

In Peter Wofford has a man that she might justly be proud of, for he has always been faithful and never failed to haunt the classrooms in the Main Building, especially those of the Language Department. Since he has always seemed to prefer Modern Lan- guages to all other subjects, we are inclined to think he will at some future date take Jimmie ' s place on the faculty. Pete, as he is known by some, and Uncle Bald by his most intimate friends, has been unable to take part in any form of athletics because of his small stature. However, he never failed to be present to root for his Alma Mater at all times. His interest in Wofford ' s athletic teams has never waned, and he is very sorry that his size has prevented him from taking a more active part. When it comes to the ladies, Uncle Bald is there in big letters. He hasj haunted Converse almost every Saturday night, and there is scarcely a girl in Spartanburg that he hasn ' t bestowed his smiles upon. Yet none of them seem to have touched him deeply, for he still wears the same carefree expression on his countenance. However, we believe that he will not always be immune to all feminine charms. On the campus Pete has won an enviable place among the hearts of the students with his ever-present smile and friendly jokes. His optimistic ways have cheered many a homesick Freshman out of his homesickness and rejuvenated him. There isn ' t a student on the campus that does not hate to see Pete leave, but they know that he is needed in the world of men, and realize that he must get out to make the best use of his talents. With a smile on our faces, and sorrow in our hearts, Pete, we send you away, wishing for you the best of success and the greatest happiness that life can give. I count life just a stuff To try the soul ' s strength on, educe the man. SENIOR CLASS Brooks Swygert Stuart, A.B Coronaca, S. C. 2 A E First Vear — Captain Freshman Baseball: Freshman Football.

No one has ever accused Hard Luck of being a bookworm, yet he acquits himself in such style that a stranger might mistake him for one. When it comes to athletics, especially baseball, he shines as a sparkling gem upon an Ethiopian ' s finger. His fielding average makes CJeorge Sisler ' s look like a bush leaguer ' s. Not only is Hard Luck talented in athletic and literary lines, but he is the original smooth, silver-tongued, love-maker. If you want the latest in love-making, it would be well for you to see him. Truly Brooks is one to love and admire. He is clean in speech, companionable, of a very aesthetic nature, and possessed with a true sense of forgiveness. He possesses that rare quality of never uttering harsh words or applying epithets to anyone. His greatest assets are his magnetic personality and his unimpeachable character. With such qualities, success is certain. What his life ' s work will be is still undecided, but his thorough executive ability will greatly aid him in his walk through life. Good luck, Hard Luck ! it be a gentleman and friend ye seek, ye have found him. S E I R S S John Hoyt Stuckey, Jr., A.B Bishopville, S. C.

Even though Hoyt began his college career with the great handicap of being from Bishopville, he has completely overcome it and now one would think that he is from a city equal to Spartanburg. He has made many friends while in our midst, who wish for him a successful career in life. Hoyt ' s friends are not only those on the campus, but he has made many in The Hub City, who regret the fact that he will not be back for another year. We cannot wonder at this, for all of us know that he is one of those mythical men known as an all-round good fellow. Hoyt has been a good student for four years and has won the admiration and esteem of all the faculty. His greatest accomplishment is his mastery of the German language, for he has been a leader in Jimmie ' s classes for his entire four years. He experienced some difficulty in passing Sergeant Campbell ' s Physical Training; nevertheless he got by in fine style. It is with deep regret that we say good-bye to you, Hoyt; but on the other hand we are glad to see you begin your life career, which we know will be a success. You have the makings of a man; so don ' t disappoint us, but show the outside world that you have the key to success in your possession. - - Men iv io have a good deal to say use the fewest ivords.

This scintillating light of intelligence before you is none other than Rembert Carlisle Stuckey, beter known to his fellow students as Newt. He is a product of the fair city of Bishopville, and one of which that flourishing metropolis may be justly proud. Newt has been a consistent worker and a good student through the entire four years he has spent with us. His specialties have been Billy ' s English and the famous course in Physics, which he has succeeded in passing in two years. At Camp McClellan, he made a fine record and was honorably discharged with the K. P. degree. Newt is not an athlete, but our Alma Mater never had a more whole-hearted sup- porter. He backs Woflford to the limit. What more can anyone wish? It has been a problem for the Class of ' 26 to find out just who the young lady is who holds his heart. It has been whispered that almost any week-end he can he seen boarding the Southern for Gaffney. This young lady — whoever she may be — had better watch out, for Newt is very popular with the fair sex. We do not know what profession he will choose for his life work; but we have confidence in him, and we are sure that he will be successful in whatever realm he chooses.

B., and continued by Monk until the present time, we have heard the manifold virtues of Cedar Spring extolled in a manner that would shame the New York Chamber of Commerce. Most people who live even anywhere near a city are very prompt to claim it as their home. This rule does not prevail in the Thackston clan, for they are loyal and true to Cedar Spring. Monk proclaims it far and near as the fairest village of the plain. Monk is another star in our athletic sky. He has not shone as brightly as some, but no other has ever shone so constantly. Were they all to be named, Monk would be the North Star, faithful and true, and one on which we could depend always. lie has held down his end of the varsity football team for three years, and in all that time has acquitted himself nobly. He played his last season handicapped by a recent operation for appendicitis; but we doubt seriously if amputating both legs would have kept him off the gridiron. Monk was a little slow in deciding that he was pitcher; but the decision having been made, there are no dissenting opinions. For his exceptional work on the mound during his Junior year he was elected captain for the next season, and that insured a Wofford season. Fairest of the fair, look at him with adoring eyes, and languish! Your efforts will be futile. He is the only survivor of that extinct species, the marble-hearted ; and feminine charms affect him less than water on a canvas-back duck. The ladies ' loss is our gain — we have had all his time to ourselves, and there has yet to be a dull or unpleasant moment. haiie no wife to worry my life; So I paddle my oivn canoe.

C. ; Member Three-Year Club; Wofford Fitting School Alumni Association; Spartanburg County Club. Maner began his higher educational career at Wofford Fitting School. Then he yielded to the call of the sea and went out with Uncle Sam ' s navy to sail the seven seas for three years. His term being over, and his duty having been performed in a way that would do credit to the highest officer in the service, he returned to his old Alma Mater to resume his studies. If he had no other admirable quality, we should admire Maner for his perseverance that has finally won for him the coveted sheepskin. But it is not only for his perseverance that we admire him. The brief space allotted here is not sufficient to describe his many fine qualities in a way that would do justice to him. Suffice it to say that he is admired and respected by the faculty and fellow students. Maner is rather reticent when relating his ventures into the realm of femininity. We cannot believe, however, that there are none to claim him for their own. Perhaps he simply refuses to render so many sorrowful just to make one happy. However that may be, we predict that some day he will select the one from the many and devote his best efforts toward making her happy. Maner has been a true friend and a thorough gentleman. He leaves with the heartiest good wishes of his classmates. Ye cannot love hooks and women. SENIOR CLASS Henry Franklin Trotter, A.B Leesville, S. C.

Pacer, or I. R. C, came to us three years ago from the twin cities of the South, Batesburg-Leesville. In his formative years, the people of the Twin Cities hardly realized the latent possibilities which lay in this three-year prodigy. After spending a few years with us, he has shown the true spirit and the fine qualities which must bring undoubted success to him. His genius, along with a determination and a definite purpose, has now brought him to the eve of graduation with the class of ' 26. He has made many friends on the campus and elsewhere, and they are all who chanced to know him. He took an active part in athletics, especially baseball, during his three years ' stay with us; and we have to hand it to him, that he made a very efficient back stop on the receiving end. He has made a remarkable record in literary work and we predict for him a wonderful future. His charming smile and cheerful countenance are seen by all who come in contact with him. We often see him walking over the campus embraced in an air of dignity — a fact, which proclaims that he has at last succeeded in becoming one of those things — a Senior. As he launches himself out upon the waves of hard knocks, we feel, as we are about to terminate this encomium, that he is capable of battling with the elements and con- quering all obstacles which may be presented. If the career of our pal goes on unin- terrupted, as heretofore, we may find him some day placed among the members of the American Bar Association. We, of the class of ' 26, wish for you a happy life and a bounty of success! He that knoiueth more than 1, I envy; He that hnoiueth less, I pity.

Behold a countenance which beautifully expresses a deep interest in all things good. Preacher Tucker has, through sacrifice of love for his fellow man, filled his place behind the sacred desk with a fervent zeal, and at the same time he has been an enthusiastic and vigorous student. By his earnest effort and assiduous work, he has shown us how much he esteems his high and noble calling. Tucker is a devoted friend, and all who come in contact with him realize in him those fine qualities — his pious character, his big heart, his complaisant nature, his in- trepid courage, and his true devotion to the great cause of God. No man has a pro- founder and sweeter sympathy or enjoys more the fragrance of a friend ' s heart. His life is full of sunshine and it casts no shadows. No man ever came in contact with him without receiving a word of cheer, and no man ever entered his door without breathing the air of hospitality. Preacher, we have no doubt about your career; we feel sure that only success is yours. We treasure the memory of these few years together, and the Class of ' 26 wishes for you a happy and enjoyable life. paint the cot As Truth luill paint it and as bards ivill not.

When Bennie first made his appearance on Wofford Campus, little did we realize what a valuable asset we had in our class. Being an unassuming, quiet lad, it was hard at first to see his sterling character and qualities. But the sun never stays under a cloud long. Soon we saw the great possibilities of Bennie, and our hearts warmed toward him. And now he holds a tender place in the heart of each of us. His noble character and simple Christian life make him an ideal for an under-classman to emulate. He has made a scholastic record which anyone would be proud of, and one which most of us have striven for and not attained. Bennie ' s domestic life has kept him out of athletics, but he is always on the side lines, a loyal supporter of his Alma Mater. In the summer of ' 23 ha took a step which most of us hesitate to take; that is, he entered into the state of matrimony. Now he is the head of a happy family, and the proud father of a charming baby. Anyone with his persistency and willingness is bound to progress, and we predict for Bennie a successful and bright future. Bennie, old man, we bid you good-bye, and we know that we have been greatly benefited by having known and associated with you.

You have been at Wofford two days and have never heard of Pluto ? Why, that ' s impossible! Well, to make a long story short, here goes the tale. He hails from Ruffin: so no wonder at the name Pluto. He is one of the quiet, unassuming boys of the Class of ' 26. But beneath his solemn countenance there lies power which is ever at his command, even on short notice. Pluto, as he is known to us, has been one of the mainstays at dear old Wofford throughout his college course. He picked Wofford because of its traditions, and all the time has been working toward their upholding. As to his relations with the students, we may say that he has many friends among us, and is himself a friend to everybody. Ulmer has no second in the game of dark-horsing. He may not be so much in a crowd, but when he gets you alone, you ' d be surprised, is only too true of Pluto. He is known to have gone for a whole college term without ever being in his room. Where he could have been, we wonder. But there is more than one of the fair daugh- ters of this city who could tell where Ulmer was. Pluto, we hate to see you leave this historic campus, but we realize that the greater outside world has tasks for you to perform. We wish you great success in your future life, and may you ever have the best of luck. IF here my love is, there am I; In a classroom cell I sigh; There I dream when friends do vie.

Alabama ' s loss was South Carolina ' s gain, and we can truly say that a great big entry was made in the credit column when Andy Wells came to Wofford. We shall consider ourselves indebted to Alabama, until perhaps some day we can wipe out the obligation by sending them a young Carolinian who is a lineal descendant of John C. Calhoun, and also related by affinity consanguinity to Red Grange. We shall long remember Andy ' s athletic achievements at Wofford. In old Wofford ' s athletic heavens no brighter star has ever shown than Wells, and it seems altogether fitting and proper that the star should be at its zenith in his senior year. When the old grads gather to reminisce, and football is the subject, the tale will ever be retold of his work in the Clemson game. Andy is not like a lot of athletes — just an athlete and nothing more. He has always stood high in his classes, and his forensic ability has charmed more than one audience. It has been whispered that while he can sway large audiences with perfect ease, that when he speaks to an audience of one he is fatal. Probably all are expecting us to say that Andy is a friend of all. We will have to disappoint you there, for like all strong characters he is brutally frank, and at times very indifferent. That combination makes a strong friend or a worthy foe, and that is Andy. If a Wofford man ever was free of hypocrisy, Andy is — he has stood four- square to the winds of success and adversity, and he will be missed — leaving a place that it will take a man to fill. What I must do is tvhat concerns me — Not ivhat people think. SENIOR CLASS James Holroyd West, A.B n K Spartanburg, S. C.

We are truly proud to have our Alma Mater in a city that can furnish us such illustrious sons. How he acquired his nickname, Pike, is not known, for he is not a fish in any sense; but we are confident that everyone knows him as just Pike. His fame on the Spartanburg High gridiron naturally led us to expect great things, but he has surpassed our fondest hopes. Athletics, however, was not his only field of endeavor. The Calhoun Literary Society loses one of her ablest orators as she bestows her diploma upon him. His steadying influence will be missed in this famous hall. Pike has led in every field he has undertaken, never once neglecting his classroom duties in the least; but after all, these are not the greatest tests. He is not only a real man and a true gentleman, but — who can be more? — a never-failing friend. If friends are a man ' s greatest assets, then Pike has no liabilities. He has always proven a friend indeed. It is hard to give up a man so dear to the hearts of all, but we are proud to bestow on such shoulders the name of A Son of Wofford. ...

This flaming youth hails from the metropolis of Cedar Springs, a place of which he is justly proud, and which, in turn, is proud of him. They are duly proud of John for the record he has made in college. On account of his smallness of stature, Spoof was unable to take part in athletics; but in the classroom he shot the professors, and on the campus he was admired for his winning personality. Spoof would have stood out in the limelight of football, or what not, had his physical development permitted, for he certainly possesses the never-say-die spirit and every other quality a deserving athlete should have. John is a loyal supporter of every phase of college activity, and his Alma Mater has found in him a man of whom she is justly proud because of the ardent and able support he has given her. His dependableness gives all who know him a feeling of utmost confidence. John has finally found his ideal lady. His ability to use the English language like Shakespeare helped him greatly in his conquest. Now that he has found her, we wish him great success and happiness in his after-life. John may become an army officer or a professor of English — it does not greatly matter which, for we are sure he is capable of mastering either of these professions, and his success is assured.

Foxy came to us from Carlisle School, clothed in a robe of mystery, and claiming somewhere in Calhoun and Orangeburg counties his home. However, when his better qualities unveiled the mystery, he very shyly claimed Jamison as his metropolis. Even though Foxy was naturally timid and reserved, his high purpose and determination have crowned his benign countenance with garlands of achievements, and have won for him high records of scholastic attainment. As the years unfolded this gentle and unmolesting lad, he proved himself to be a most versatile figure in the classroom. This can clearly be shown by his ability to shoot Jimmie in every phase of German. However, this luminous youth attained his zenith in his analjtical ability to decompose every constituent that was to be found in the diversified collection of the rocks used in mineralogy. We hear that he is determined to study medicine; and we predict, for a man of his type, nothing but the highest peaks of success. While we shall be sorry to lose him, we feel sure that our loss will be counterbalanced by the good he can do in alleviat- ing the pains of many. It is easy to write concerning our classmate, for he is a student, a gentleman, and a friend; dignified, unassuming, frank and courteous.

For four short but eventful years Wofford has claimed this lad from the Electric City ; and, with his departure, the College has suffered a distinct loss. Unusual strength of mind, body, and character have marked his quiet, but busy sojourn here. Of his career on the gridiron too much cannot be said. In his Freshman year, he played in every game; and his three years on the varsity have seen no break in this record. Every ambitious quarterback on opposing elevens calls ONE play around Berry ' s end, and forthwith forgets that signal. While handling ice in Anderson during the torrid days of summer, the man-to-be became something of a philosopher. Out of his philosophy developed that personality, so compelling and so magnetic, that has the friendship and esteem of all who know him. In the words of the immortal Shakespeare: His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, ' This was a man! ' - - Berry ' s affairs of the heart, though no one doubts their existence, have always been shrouded in mystery.

SENIOR CLASS In the fall of 1922 there entered Wofford College the largest class in her history. As to whether or not it has been the best, you yourself may judge on that point. Naturally, due to the graduation of a large number of three-year men and to other causes, our ranks have seen a decrease. However, many new men have entered, and we now have as candidates for A.B. Degrees about one hundred of South Carolina ' s finest. Not all of us are from the Old Palmetto State, however. North Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi are represented. We boast of the largest number of three-year men that have ever entered Wofford. Our officers for the first year were: B. E. Lewis President E. H. Gregg Vice-President J. M, Gibson Secretary S. R. Easterling Treasurer W. L. Kinney Historian We contributed to Wofford ' s athletic fame by putting out the strongest Freshman teams in the history of the college. When we re-entered Wofford in the fall of 1923, we realized that, with our large class, we had great opportunities for boosting the name of Old Wofford. The following officers were chosen to lead us through the hardships of our Sophomore year: B. S. Stuart President A. W. Wells Vice-President W. L. Kinney Secretary A. D. Wright Treasurer B. E. Lewis Historian We set to work with an earnestness that could not be denied, and our presence began to be felt. The varsity football, baseball, and track teams were made up largely of Sophomores, and we were well represented in the other branches of sport. In forensic and literary activities we took more than our share of the honors. At the beginning of our Junior year we elected our officers as follows: S. B. Knotts President A. W. Wells Vice-President C. G. IvEY- Secretary 8. R. Easterling Treasurer W. L. Kinney Historian During this year we devoted ourselves to our work with a determination which won us our places as Seniors. We continued to hold our place in the athletic, forensic, literary and scholastic life of our campus. In the fall of 1925 we came back a little older, a little wiser, a little more determined, and perhaps a little sadder, as we realized that we were beginning our last year at old Wofford. We selected the following men to guide us through our last year of college life: S. R. Easterling President B. E. Lewis Vice-President W. T. Bell Secretary J. W. Bowman Treasurer C. I. Chipley Historian E. H. Gregg Poet E. R. Culler Prophet We selected the following men to publish the Bohemian, our year book: J. N. HoLCOMBE Editor-in-Chief T. B. Haynsworth Business Manager R. L.

Almost the entire personnel of the athletic teams and the other college organizations and activities were carried on by Seniors. Our scholarship was of the highest. The Senior football team, coached by Num Bell and Tom Pressley, made an enviable record, and lost the inter-class championship only after a hard fight. In football we were represented by Knotts, Bell, Alexander, Haynsworth, Thackston, Wright, Folk, Pressley, West, Reames, Wells, B. E. Lewis, Stuart, Kellett, Hall, and Ivey as manager. In baseball our representatives were: Thackston, Folk, Trotter, Pettigrew, Stuart, and Crutch- field, manager. In track we had Bell, Melton, and Kay, manager; in cross-country, Chipley, manager, and Melton; in tennis, Gilbert, manager, and Chipley. J. N. Holcombe was president of the International Relations Club. R. L. Crutchfield headed the Chi Beta Phi Scientific Fraternity. H. M. Patrick was president of the Pi Kappa Delta Forensic Fraternity, and the Sigma Upsilon Literary Fraternity. On the Glee Club we had Landrum, manager; Ackerman, Rogers, Wells, Easterling, and Baldwin. The Honor Council had as its Senior representatives the following men: Holcombe, president; Patrick, secretary; Crutchfield, Law, Bowman, and Haynsworth. We were represented in the Oratorical Contest by J. N. Holcombe and E. B. Stevenson. And now we have come to the parting of the ways. No longer shall we tread with light- hearted footsteps the paths of the dear old campus; no longer shall we thrill with the pride of victory; no longer shall we hold our heads high under the pride of a defeated but unconquered spirit; no longer shall we perform with ambitious hearts the duties of college life. We shall soon ieave dear old Wofford. Our paths will lead in many directions, and the going will not be smooth. But in leaving, we carrv with us memories of days spent as only days on the beautiful old campus can be spent. We go with the confidence that Wofford has girded us for the combat, and hope and pray that our careers may be living monuments to our Alma Mater. C. I. Chipley, Htstonan- 123 FTER a morning of tedious labor in delving into the amendments of the new divorce laws, I felt the need of a few minutes ' recreation, and picking up the morning State I casually glanced through its columns. In bold headlines on the front page was the following: Gregg ' s Case Goes Before Supreme Court. Perusing the item a little further, I learned that my old classmate, Ed, had been convicted in the State Courts of North Caro- lina for advocating doctrines of an evolutionary character in his classes at the Uni- versity of North Carolina. He had been at the head of the Science Department for several years. This case occupied the center of interest of the American public, eclipsing the historic Scopes case of 1925. Calling my two colleagues, S. B. Knotts and E. D. Law, I cited to them the major points of the case, in which they were interested as well as I. Our discussion was interrupted by a knock at the door, and the proverbial Speak of the Devil and his face appears was verified; in walked Gregg. After a few hours ' discussion of our college days, we began discussing his case. He explained his predicament in detail to us, and said that he wanted our law firm to defend him in his last trial. Among the many witnesses of authority that he had, we were surprised to have many members of the Class of ' 26. Among them were the following: R. Ackerman, noted surgeon of Johns Hopkins; R. V. Harris, author of theological textbooks; H. F. Trotter, archeologist of world-wide fame; James A. Dean, authority in science; N. A. Lewis, Dean of Medicine at the Uni- versity of Washington, and W. J. Snyder, world-known excavator, who claimed to have discovered the missing link. With witnesses of such scientific knowledge, we believed that the prospects were bright for vindication. Examining the witnesses for the prosecution, we found a number of our former classmates of prominence equal to that of our own witnesses. They included S. D. Schofield, Professor of Theolog) ' at Emory University; Bishop H. B. Tucker; M. S. Culler, authority on psychology ; R. L. Crutchfield, Head of the Department of Science at Harvard; C. W. Allen, Professor of Religious Education at Wofford College, and J. E. Ford, President of Furman University. Since the trial was to begin within a few days, we planned immediate action, and our attention was turned to the Governor of the State, T. G. McLeod, Jr. We solicited his aid and counsel, and he advised us to communicate with S. R. 124 Easterling, President of the Southern Railway. After hearing the details of his old classmate ' s predicament, Sam offered us the use of his private car for our service. Just before leaving, however, we called upon several men of the Class of ' 26 who had become influential in the state capital. Among them were J. L. Rob- inson, Mayor of Columbia; Marion Michaux, financial wizard; E. W. Rushton, manager of Trivers Clothing Co.; Hansel Boyd, President of the Carolina National Bank; C. G. Ivey, founder and president of a new system of hotels; W. C. Kay, Postmaster-General; C. B. Humphries, prominent physician; J. A. McCain, editor of the State, and H. M. Patrick, author of a popular collection of short poems. On the following morning — January 23, 1950 — we left for Washington, D. C. When we reached Raleigh, N. C, we learned that we had a few hours to wait over. To use these few hours in the most advantageous way, we decided to look up some of our old classmates. B. E. Lewis, head coach at N. C. State, met us dt the station and offered us the service of his new car. We called upon the follow- ing: J. W. McCoy, superintendent of the Raleigh Public Schools; M. L. Tonge, Major, U. S. Fnfantry; H. F. Folk, surgeon at the new Raleigh Hospital, and radium expert; D. L. King, traveling secretary for the Southern Y. M. C. A.; J. R. Snoddy, international globe trotter; S. F. Leitner, real estate magnate; J. H. Stuckey, billiard player of national fame, and J. R. Dennis, professor of Religious Education at N. C. State. Before leaving Raleigh, we were joined by T. M. Nelson, modern philos- opher and well-known author of Man, the Enigma. Having at length arrived in Washington, we began to make preparation for the coming trial. We were surprised when we learned that the prosecuting attorneys were also of the Class of ' 26. These were J. W. Bowman, nationally known barrister, and J. N. Holcombe, lawyer and legal adviser of the United States Steel Corporation; W. J. McLeod, expert in civil law, and M. K. Thackston, leading attorney of North Carolina. Three of the Supreme Court judges also happened to be of our class. They were J., E. White, Peter Stokes, and A. W. Wells. After a prolonged fight and able arguments by the defense and prosecution, the decision was finally made by the court. At last the theory of evolution had won its own. Our classmate, Gregg, was vindicated in his views and teachings. The court held that he had a constitutional right to teach the doctrines he held. It happened that Congress was in session at this time. Learning that several men of the Class of ' 26 were in Washington, we decided to call on them. Among them were our old friends, T. A. Folk, Representative of the Third Congressional Dis- trict; J. W. Alexander, Representative of the Fourth District; M. A. Connors, Speaker of the House; G. H. Daniel, advocate of a new World Court, and E. B. Baldwin and L. H. Calhoun, distinguished Senators from South Carolina. After spending a few days in the capital city, my colleagues and I decided to return home by automobile. At the end of a delightful ride, we found ourselves in Charlotte, North Carolina, where we decided to spend a few days. During our 125 stay we were entertained by our former classmate, H. M. Gilbert, Charlotte ' s leading financier and most prominent social figure. We learned from him much information concerning widely scattered members of the old Class of ' 26. It seemed that G. H. Fort, after having suffered a defeat in the ancient game of love, had absconded to South America — no one knew exactly where. J. C. Bailey had been appointed director of a new mission in the heart of Africa. J. M. Boyd, the latest sheik of Hollywood, was engaged to Mae Warner, who had just won her divorce suit against C. P. Key, president of the International Film Corporation. Among the other prominent figures of Hollywood were P. M. Camak, the new Ben Xurpin ; R. C. Melton, star in the Paramount production of B. P. Ramsey ' s! The Languid Kiss. Gilbert also told us about T. B. Haynsworth and C. I. Chipley, world famous Arctic explorers, who had announced at last the discovery of the fabulous North Pole. Gilbert was also enthusiastic over the winning stride of the Charlotte Baseball Club, under the able management of C. A. Dixon. His first string pitchers were Jim Coskrey and Frog Fike. Our next afternoon was spent at the Charlotte Speedway. We were very pleasantly entertained, and were quite surprised to see that the world hundred-mile record was broken by C. F. Reames, the noted racer. After spending these pleasant days in Charlotte, we resumed our journey homeward. We made only one stop between Charlotte and Spartanburg, that being a few hours ' visit at the country home of Foxy Wolfe. On our arrival in the Hub City we were welcomed at the City Hall by the newly-elected mayor, Pike West. He was very enthusiastic over the progress of the city, and gave much credit for its progress to the following men: I. A. Phifer, a leading lawyer of the city ; D. W. Smith, pastor of Central Methodist church; P. L. Ulmer, surgeon at the General Hospital; D. L. Rhoad, president of the First National Bank, and B. S. Stuart, president of Saxon Mills. Naturally, the first visit we would pay would be to our Alma Mater. It was quite a different campus now. In place of the old Snyder Hall, there was a new edifice which accommodated five hundred students. This building was the gift of F. L. Holroyd and A. D. Wright, two of Anderson ' s most influential citizens and business men. Instead of the old R. O. T. C. Armory, there was a modern gym- nasium, completely equipped. This was the gift of J. N. Kellett, who had become wealthy in the real estatq game at Fountain Inn. A new Science Hall also adorned the campus — the gift of W. E. Koon, president of Spartan Mills. However, the center of attraction was afforded by the new Main Building, which was the gift of the Alumni. The cost of this magnificent building was conservatively estimated at five hundred thousand dollars by L. H. Buddin and Harold Hall, two of the state ' s leading architects. Carlisle Hall had been remodeled and would now accom- modate six hundred students. Indeed Wofford had grown, its student body number- ing eleven hundred. Prominent among the members of the faculty were Frank Rogers and O ' Neil 126 Landrum, associates in the new Music Department; S. R. King and H. S. Lybrand, of the Modern Language Department; P. F. McGee, of the Psychology Department. In the Math Department was B. R. Turner, popular instructor and author. Not only was Wofford successful in the literary world, but she had risen to the top in athletics, under the able coaching of Tom Pressley and Num Bell. These two coaches were being sought after by many of the leading colleges and universities of the South, but they preferred to remain true to their Alma Mater. During the day we were guests at the various homes on the campus, now occupied by our former classmates. We were entertamed the latter part of the evening at a banquet given by the Chamber of Commerce. Its president, E. B. Stevenson, still retained the executive ability, together with his sense of humor, which made him so prominent in college affairs. The speaker of the evening proved to be another of our formr classmates, E. W. Patrick, who gave us an account of his experience while ambassador to France. I learned from him that Francis Owings was burying his grief in Siam, this grief being brought about by a lost love affair. Although he was still attractive to the fair sex, he decided to exile himself and live in the thoughts of the love he once cherished. I also learned from Stevenson that Jake Smith, whom I had lost track of, was very successful in his new venture, namely, introducing the Piggly Wiggly stores in Russia. Another member of our class whom I had not heard of for some years was R. C. Stuckey. I learned that he was at the head of the mathematics department at Oxford. It seemed as if all my former classmates had been accounted for, but on second thought I realized that S. C. McWhorter, M. C. Poole, and G. G. Smith were still unaccounted for. Stevenson told me the story of these three men. They had lost out in love affairs, and were well along in age; and they had therefore decided to turn toward South America and forget the past. They had begun a new enterprise in South America, which they had hoped would convert the millions of acres of wasted lands into rich agricultural soil by scientific methods. This venture was proving a success, and these three men were getting world-wide praise. Another member of our class, of whom I had not recently heard, was N. C. Bennett. I learned that he had become a car dealer of world fame. He was then introducing the new Chevrolet in Paris. Thus, miraculously, within one month, I had gone through a trial of national significance, helped in the defense of a former classmate, and learned the fates and successes of all the members of the famous old Class of ' 26. The experience served to freshen my spirits, and I settled down to life with the conviction that I had indeed been fortunate in being numbered among the graduates of the illustrious Class of 1926.

Although it is a large class, its greatness lies not in numbers, but in its character and distinctions. Already we have taken our place as a class of honor. To the many honors of our Freshman and Sophomore years we have added countless others. The Class of ' 37 is strong in every field of college activity. In athletics we have done exceedingly well. Football felt the power of our classmates. They were foremost in the backfield and the line. The Terrier quintet was a Junior team. The cap- tain, manager, and most of the squad were members of our class. Our men give promise to do as well in baseball as they have done in all other phases of athleti cs. Athletics is not the only field in which our class excels. This year ' s oratorical contest added other honors to our members. The first and second places went to the Class of ' 27. There are many members of our class in the International Relations Club, Glee Club, Pi Kappa Delta Honorary Forensic Fraternity, and the Canterbury Club, which is to become Sigma Upsilon Honorary Literary Fraternity. In the loss of our beloved classmate, L. C. Jefcoat, we feel that one of our best members has left us. During the three years he was with us he brought honors to the class. Could he have graduated with us he would have gone forth from Wofford as an outstanding man of the Class of ' 27. For the first two years our officers w ' ere: I Freshman Year E. D. Law, Jr President F. A. Dean Vice-President W. N. SwETT Secretary H. J. Bennett, Jr Treasurer W. J. McLeod, Jr Historian Sophomore Year H. J. Bennett, Jr President F. E. ExuM Vice-President G. C. Hill Secretary G. L. Varn Treasurer J. A. McCain Historian At the close of our Sophomore year we elected the following officers: J. H. Orvin President D. W. Lawton Vice-President C. M. Lee Secretary J. A. McCain Treasurer E. C. Morgan Historian A few more months and we shall be Seniors. We look forward to the end of college life, but will feel a certain degree of sorrow to leave the place that has been so kind to us. It is with a firm endeavor that we take up the torch of the class that has gone before us. E. C. Morgan, Historian. 140 I T.C.HOOGg S HISTORIAN M.W.GOOOVEAR TREflS, Soph opnomore CI ass B. D.

To the casual observer there would seem to be nothing extraordinary about our class. We are slowly but surely showing the Faculty, the Student Body, and the World that we have an extraordinary assemblage of South Carolina ' s best sons. The officers for our Freshman year were as follows: C. W. Derrick President V. L. Brabham Vice-President W. F. Nettles Secretary G. B. Harper Treasurer H. W. Kingman Historian After undergoing all the trials and hardships as young, inexperienced Freshmen, most of us came back the next September as full-fledged Sophomores. In athletics and in scholarship our class has been above the average. In basketball we have four block letter men on South Carolina ' s Championship Team, while three of our number gained this distinction as members of the football team. And in other sports — baseball, tennis, and track — our men are doing their best to put Wofford on top. In scholarship we have quite a few of our number on the distinction list. We are well represented in the International Relations Club, while three of our men belong to Sigma Upsilon Honorary Literary Fraternity. Eight of our number belong to the state championship Glee Club — the State ' s Sweetest Singers. There are also some of our number who are the elite of Spartanburg. They give joy to our Converse friends, and are the paragons of style for the Wofford boys. These social bugs are unusually fond of the sidewalks, holding up some of the tall buildmgs and giving a treat to feminine passers-by. Thus it is easily seen that we have an ideal cla elected to guide us through our Sophomore year: The following officers were Vice W. F. Nettles M. W. Goodyear President -President Secretary Treasurer Historian We have just begun our career in college and in the battle of life. In the days and years that follow, our chief hope and aim is to be worthy sons of our Alma Mater. T. C.

Although verdant, un- sophisticated, and untutored youths, we came with one idea uppermost — that of getting an education. During the first few days we were more or less busy receiving and entertaining our right honorable friends, the Sophomores. But after the novelty of this wore off, we settled down into our new life with a determma- tion to succeed. This was to be, for most of us, the longest period that we had ever been away from the indulgent environment of our homes. As time wore on, and the days stretched into weeks, we began to feel the pangs of home-sickness, and many woe-begone letters were written to our folks back home. The President of the Student Body called a meeting after the Christmas holidays for the purpose of class organization. The following officers were elected : R. C. King President J. M. Player Vice-President J. G. DeHihns Secretary J. M. McLeod Treasurer D. J. Jones Historian Some very fine material has been uncovered among the athletes. Excellent Fresh- man teams have been produced in both football and basketball, and it is expected that many of the men of these teams will be able to hold down regular positions on the varsity next year. Baseball as yet is only being talked about, but it is hoped and ex- pected that we will have equally as good a team as in other sports. We have many talented members of our class who are making their marks in the fields of scholarship, debating, and oratory. The Freshmen Intercollegiate Debaters were A. C. Outler, D. F. Patterson, F. C. Hodges, and T. W. Herbert. The Fresh- man Declaimers were D. J. Jones, C. J. Lever, L. B. George, F. C. Hodges, A. C. Outler, D. F. Patterson, E. L. Culler, and T. K. Lawton. This probably should not be called a history, for that is yet to be made ; but we are determined to make a history that we shall be able to look back upon with no regret and with memories of joy and happiness. Then we think it not inappropriate to pro- pose a toast to the Class of ' 29: May it ever ' uphold the traditions and honor of Wof- ford College! D. J. JONES Ilistorian. IS7 r 1 BIOCIC CLUB B. E.

' .ccoiint of I nmbics — icore 7-U. bcore li-l ' Billy Wright to Wells, Clemson Game; Net 40 Yards The S The Terriers began practicing on the first of Sep- tember with the hardest schedule in the history of Wof- ford facing them. Over fifty men reported for the initial work-out, and working under the direction of Coach Rip Major and Assistant Coach Boatwright, one of the best teams Wofford ever turned out began a glorious season by holding the powerful Virginia Military In- stitute and Windy White to a 9-0 score. The showing of the Terriers against V. M. I. sur- prised the South. The Terriers threw the mighty Windy White, V. M. I. ' s plunging fullback, time and again for losses. He found a stone wall opposing him when he ran up against the Terrier line, which was the best line in the state this year. Every Terrier in e a s o n the game proved himself a star. Reames, our scrap- ping fullback, was a tower of strength with his sec- ondary defense. Billy Wright, our diminutive quar- terback, playing his first varsity game, covered himself with glory by returning punts, running his team like the field general that he is, as well as getting good yardage on his punts. In the line, Captain Knotts, Pressley and Berry Wright were the outstanding stars. In fact the whole Terrier team proved to be a constellation. Playing their first game of the season away from home, the Terriers put up a mighty good game. Windy White ran a kick-off back for a touch- down, the only one of the game. He also added three ' Bo Knotts, Captain, Tackle Tinks Ivey, Manager Bud Lawton Captain-Elect and Guard Gabe Hill carries the ball over in the Oglethorpe game extra points to the score by a placement kick in the fourth quarter. The second game of the season saw the Terriers against Davidson at Davidson. The game was marked by the charging of Wofford ' s premier back, Num Bell, who was ably assisted by Andy Wells, our end- skirter, and CJabe Hill, who helped Num punch the line. Frog Reames was also there with his good secondary defense. Frog stopped more than one Da- vidson back when the said back thought he was loose. The game looked at first to be a punting duel between Billy Wright and Dick Grey, the Wildcat kicker. In the line, One-Lung Lewis and Tom Pressley bore the brunt of Davidson ' s attack, while Monty Crook played an excellent game at center. Although com- pletely outplayed during the entire game, the Terriers making twelve first downs to the Wildcats ' six, David- son won the game, 7-0. The Wildcats made their lone touchdown after they had blocked a punt on the Ter- riers ' fifteen-yard line. The game was marked by ex- ceptionally clean playing on both sides. The third game of the season was the Terriers ' first home game. The Piedmont lads from Demorest, Georgia, came to Snyder Field to furnish the opposi- tion. The Terriers unleashed an offense that fairly swept the Mountaineers off their feet. The Terriers ' backfield tore the opposing line to shreds, gaining a total of 647 yards from scrimmage and making forty new downs. The Wofford line played a strong game; the Mountaineers gained only two yards through our line. The backfield worked like a machine. Num Bell played the best game of his career; he simply couldn ' t be stopped. Gabe Hill intercepted a pass and raced forty-four yards for a touchdown. Andy Frog ReameSj Fullback Andy Wells, Halfback ' Billy Wright, Quarterback Clemson fails to gain through the Terrier line Wells clipped off twenty-two yards around right end for a touchdown. In the line Monk Thackston was the outstanding star of the game. Red Habel, on left end, also played a remarkable game. After Coach Major saw that the game was sewed up, he ran in his second team, and later on in the game he let his third string men get their first taste of blood. The Terriers made twelve touchdowns, and Billy Wright added nine points via the extra-point method after touchdowns. The score was 81-0. The Terriers journeyed to Due West, S. C, to give battle to the Erskine Seceders for the fourth game of the year. The game was well played on the part of the Terriers, although all the breaks of the game went against them. When the final whistle blew, we had the big end of a 27-0 score. The Terriers lost at least three more touchdowns by a little streak of hard l uck. Billy Wright and Andy Wells were the outstand- ing stars of the game from the Terriers ' viewpoint. Wright ' s work in catching passes and his ability to sidestep after catching punts were the features of the game. Wells contributed two runs which brought the stands to their feet. He is a broken field runner of no mean ability. After catching a pass in the game, he maneuvered thirty-eight yards through a densely popu- lated field for a touchdown. Firpo Kirkley played a great game. His passing and line bucking were very deserving of praise. Hill and Bell gave Erskine ' s sec- ondary defense lots of trouble during the game. They pierced the Seceders ' line time and again for good gains. Reames played an excellent defensive game for the Terriers. Keaton, the Seceder fullback, was the outstanding star of the opposition. His punts were usually off for a good yardage and his defensive work was well carried out. The Sixteenth of October saw a special train, all decorated with Old Gold and Black, carrying the stu- dent body to Columbia for the fifth game of the season. v.. ' Billy Wright makes sensational return of punt in Duke game. The Terriers were to battle the Carolina Gamecocks in what promised to be the best game of the season. The Terriers received a punt on their fifteen-yard line, and after making two downs in three plays, there came a fifteen-yard penalty. Billy Wright ' s punt was blocked and the Gamecocks succeeded in carrying the ball over. Carolina failed to annex the extra point. From then on the game was an exchange of punts and see-sawing about the field. Billy Wright got one punt off for seventy-one yards — the longest of the day. The Ter- riers ' defense was superior to the Gamecocks ' . The line held and often threw the Carolina backs for losses. Especially did Frog Reames cover himself with glory in backing up the line. This was a gala day for him — the best game he ever played for the Terriers. Cap- tain Knotts and Pressley at tackles, and Lawton at guard were the outstanding stars of the game. Berry Wright and Thackston played well at ends, spilling the Carolina backs many times for big losses. The Terriers put up a great game before a large crowd, with Governor T. G. McLeod cheering for his Alma Mater — our dear old Wofford. It was a hard game to lose, but it couldn ' t be helped. The Terrier offense did not seem to work well enough and Carolina car- ried off a 6-0 score. The sixth game found the Stormy Petrels from Oglethorpe University on Snyder Field doped to win by at least twenty points. But they had not reckoned with their foe. Oglethorpe succeeded in scoring after a twenty-yard run by Maurer and a few line bucks by Kilgore, both All-S. I. A. A. men. The extra point was lost because Oglethorpe was offside. The second half saw the Terriers open up the best football ever seen at Snyder Field. After a penalty on Oglethorpe, Wofford began an aerial attack. Billy Wright passed to his brother, Berry, for twelve yards. An- •Num Bell, lUiljback Alex Skelion, Ccnicr Tom Pressley, Tackle Wells makls first tolchdovvx in the Clemsox game. other pass from Kirkley to Berry netted ten more yards. On the next play Kirkley passed to Hill, who made a beautiful leaping catch and was downed on Oglethorpe ' s eight-yard line. After a few line bucks the Terriers lined up to kick goal. Hill turned the trick and the Terriers held the big end of a 7-6 score. In the fourth quarter Campbell, Oglethorpe quarter, caught a pass and together with fast running made fifty-two yards and a touchdown. We had lost an- other game — 13-7. Captain Knotts, Pressley, Lawton, Lewis and A. Wright showed up exceptionally well in the line. Parrish, Oglethorpe ' s center, and Camp- bell, Oglethorpe ' s quarter, were the outstanding stars for the Petrels. The faculty gave us a holiday in order to allow us to go out to the fair grounds and see the Terriers de- feat the Clemson Tigers. The game was WofTord ' s from the very first. Those Terriers in the moleskin uniforms could not fail the home-comers who were in the grandstand. Home-Coming Day was celebrated in a glorious way. The Terriers completely outplayed the vis itors from Tiger Town, and we should have added a few more touchdowns. We are not kicking on the 13-0 score. The second quarter gave us the first score. Billy Wright returned a punt thirty yards to the Tigers ' ten-vard line, and then the Ter- rier backs battered the Tiger line, with Andy Wells carrying the ball over. The third quarter saw Clem- son plaving a remarkable defensive game, and the Terriers were unable to score, although they were with- in striking distance several times. In the last quarter, Wofford opened up a drive which ended when Wells clipped off seventeen yards in a broken field for a touchdown. Wright failed to add an extra point. W ells was by far the stellar performer of the day with his sensational broken fie ' d running. The Terriers ' goal was never threatened. The only offensive shown by the Tigers was in the last quarter when they ad- Gabe Hill, Halfback ' Hughsie Folk, Halfback ' ' One-Lung Lewis, Guard Maurek, Oglethorpe ' s All-Southern back, baffled by Thackston and Berry Wright. vanced the ball to our forty-yard line. This was the first game with Clemson since 1920, but we have them on our schedule again for next year. All of us went down to Clinton to see the Terriers defeat the P. C. Blue Stockings. Doped to win by a fair margin, our offense failed to function in the first half. Stamps, P. C. ' s quarter, dropped back to the thirty-five-yard line and placed one between the up- rights for three points. In the second half, P. C. made a touchdown on three straight passes. Then the Ter- riers came out of their trance. Red Habel, substi- tuting at left end, broke up a pass behind the line of scrimmage and raced thirty yards for our only score. Wofford ' s defense and offense was materially crippled when Captain Knotts and Hill had to be taken out on account of injuries. Billy Wright was also playing with an injured knee. Num Bell, who was kept out of the Clemson game on account of injuries, was sent in during the last quarter and completely destroyed the P. C. line. He was averaging ten yards a play. He had carried the ball to the sixteen-yard line when the whistle blew. Num had played one of the best games of his career. Monty Crook also was there with the goods. He played a good game on both offense and defense. The Terriers had a rest of fourteen days and then the Blue Devils from Duke came down to give us battle. The Terriers presented a shifted line-up. Cap- tain Knotts not being able to enter the game, Berry Weight was shifted to tackle and Crouch was put on his end. Out-weighed ten pounds to the man, the Ter- riers put up a noble fight. The game was devoid of interest, Wofford being unable to launch an offensive. The sole interesting feature of the game was Wells ' Monty Crook, Center ' FiRi ' o Kirkley, Halfback Tike West, Halfback Billy Wright punts out of danger in Oglethorpe game. twenty-five-yard run. Duke opened a drive and ad- vanced the ball sixty yards for a touchdown. Billy Wright, Reames and Wells were the stars for Wof- ford, while Captain Gregg and Caldwell were the visitors ' best bets. The game ended with the Blue Devils handing us a 6-0 defeat. On Turkey Day the Terriers moved down to New- berry to fight the I ndians and Billy Rheil, their All- S. I. A. A. fullback. Rheil lived up to form and his running completely dazzled the Terriers. They were unable to stop him. When he got the ball he didn ' t stop until the last white line had been crossed. Rheil is the Red Grange of the South, and is by far the best back in the state to-day. The entire Indian team played as if they were inspired and Rheil was given a beautiful interference. For the Terriers, Billy Wright got off some mighty fine punts and Jimmy Latimer, sent in to substitute at quarter, also kicked one for sixty-four yards. The Terriers ended the sea- son with a twenty-six-to-nothing defeat hanging over them, but they will come back next year. The results of ' the season, stated concisely, follow: Wofford o V.

Some twenty boys answered ; and among the twenty were Captain Red Habel, Styx Lindsay, Craig Kennedy, George Staples, and Jin Boyd from last year ' s varsity s(iuad. These veterans, with a good many promising Sophomores from last year ' s Freshman squad. Coach be- gan working fast and furiously, and devel- oped them into the best team in the state. Our first chance to see the Terrier Basketeers in action was the tenth of December, when they defeated the fast Spartanburg Y team by the score of 30-25. This was a great game of basketball and it showed us that we had a team that could pass, guard, and loop ' em, when the occasion arose. The stars of the game were Styx Lindsay and Red Habel, our forwards, and Fred Shuler, our center. During the last week of the Christmas holi- days, Rip took his team for a jaunt through Georgia, and we did ' em almost as bad as Sherman. Before leaving for Georgia, the Terriers lost a game to the Pacific Mills quintet by the score of 35-30. Playing this game with Captain Habel out because of an automobile accident, the Terriers were un- able to show their best, because Red is al- ways the pivot of the passing and always leads the offense. The Terriers moved on to Savannah and 179 left the Savannah Y holding the small end of a 30-26 score. Our next victim was the Waycross Y, whom we defeated by the score of 25-21. Then Albany Y took the Terriers ' measure on a 35-30 table. Immediately after the holidays were over, the team went up into North Carolina for a week ' s play. The Terriers were off form on this trip and also felt the loss of Styx Lindsay, star forward and runningmate to Captain Habel, who could not go on the trip because of sickness. As things happened, we won only two games and lost four. Then the Terriers came home, and on the twentieth of January lost a close game to the Spartanburg Y. The fifth of February saw Captain Habel and his gang scalp the Indians of Newberry College, thus winning our first state college game. Red, Styx and Freddie proved the veritable three musketeers in this battle, while Kit Smith held the Indians in check. Kit is one of the best standing guards ever seen on the local court. Captain Rickert of Newberry also played stellar ball, and was probably the outstatnding star of the game. The score was 35-3?- The Terriers gnashed their teeth on the next night, and the Tigers from Clemson held the small end of a 25-21 score. The Davidson Wildcats came down on the 17th of February to go back on the i8th with a 30-29 score against them. 180 On the same day the Terriers moved down to Presbyterian College to give the quintet there a trouncing by 50-39. Red showed the P. C. fellows what a basketball player was and kept the P. C. team running after him as he cleverly dribbled down the floor time after time. The next night we lost our first and only state game, Newberry being the victor. On the twentieth of February the Terriers defeated the College of Charleston by the score of 30-25. Shuler, playing in his home town, strutted his stuff, and ran wild. Habe! and Smith also did well for the Old Gold and Black squad. After a Sunday ' s rest in Charleston, the Terriers met the Bulldogs from the Citadel, last year ' s champions of the state. The Bull- dogs came out with Douglas and Weeks, their star forwards, expecting to do their stuff. They had, however, failed to take into con- sideration Kit Smith and Louie Lockman, who stopped them outside of shooting range. As things went, Red, Styx and Freddie played as if inspired ; and, when the final whistle blew, the Terriers held the big end of a 33-28 score. After a week ' s rest, the Terriers took on P. C. in the final state game of the season, Both teams fought like demons, but our three musketeers proved too much for the Blue Stockings. We had ' em 40-38.

SHULER, CAPTAIN TENNIS 193 Varsity Tennis Team Netiles Shuler (Captain) Lindsay Gilbert (Manager) As the Bohemian goes to press, the Tennis season has not opened. Although the tennis team lost four out of five members through graduation last year, the outlook this year is very promising. Wofford has won the state championship in singles for the past two years; and last year the Terriers added the doubles title. A comprehensive schedule, including trips through North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia has been arranged. Following the close of the season, the State Tournament at Greenville will complete the activities of the Terrier net artists.

The President is elected by the Student Body in the spring elections, for the fol- lowing year. The Honor Council, which is the executive agency of the System, is composed of fifteen members and ten reserves, appointed by the class presidents and approved by the president of the System. The jurisdiction of the Honor Sys- tem extends to all acts of students, both off and on the campus, which violate the honor code. During the year, the student body, in an effort to bring the Honor System up to its maximum possible efficiency, selected J. N. Holcombe and D. W. Lawton to make a first-hand study of the systems at the University of Virginia and Washington and Lee University. A Student Body Constitutional Committee, composed of S. B. Knotts, J. N. Holcombe, E. H. Gregg, R. L. Crutchfield and S. R. Easterling, was elected to draft a constitution for the student body, with a view to co-ordinating the activities of the student body organization and the honor system. The Honor Council is composed of the following students: J. N. Holcombe, President R. L. Crutchfield H. M. Gilbert From the Senior Class Regular Members E. D. Law, Jr. J. W. Bowman H. M.

Miss Pressley, a petite little lassie of eighteen, was beautifully gowned in a pale shirt waist and olive-tinted hose. Her hair was arranged in beautiful golden ringlets of several different shades. Mr. Schofield, a handsome brute of some forty-odd years, was fittingly attired in full dress coat, white trousers, and carrying a darling bull dog cap which covered his fast fading locks. I ' he ceremony was performed by the Reverend Ur. H. D. Inabinette, pastor ot the Shores Brook Holy Rollers Flock. The bride ' s attendants were Miss Bertie Ramsey, Miss LeRoy Robinson, Miss Braxtie Lewis, and Miss Jamie McCain. Little Mr. Wallie Bell and precious little Sammie Knotts very ap- propriately served as ring bearers. The flower girls, petite little Carrie Reames and dainty little Hughsie Folk, were adorably clad in black knee dresses with gorgeous yellow borders, and their hair arranged with delicate green ribbon. The groom ' s only attendant was Mr. Gene Pittman, who wore a resplendent red necktie. Music was furnished by the Extraordinary Sympathy Orchestra, composed of four piccalos, a shoe horn and a bass drum. Their most effective number was the Refrain from Smoking. Mr. J. Neville Holcombe, President of the Honor Council, was chaperone. The bride and groom, accompanied by the entire wedding party and several other friends, left immediately after the ceremony for Lake Lanier, where they spent the afternoon. Mrs. Schofield intends to accept a. position in a laundry, while Mr. Schofield intends to finish his mathematical course at Wofford. Mr. M. K.

What you read here, kind reader, is the neglected truth. The Editors have no friends ; therefore, they tell the truth about everybody and everything. They have no respect for tra- dition or authority ; no veneration for age or position. They strike the old man in his dotage, the young man in his prime, the brave man in his courage, and the craven in his fear. None are exempt from their iconoclastic scrutiny. If anybody is offended by being left out or in, he is referred to Seedy Bim Moseley, legal advisor of What ' s What. The Editors hope you get mad at this and hate them for saying it. They always say what they think; that ' s the reason they have no friends. The Unholy Three: A. W. W. S. R. E. S. B. M. n n in( -inr DO MONTGOMERY 8 CRAWFORD SPORTING GOODS We Help You!

SOUTH CAROLINA Wofford Faculty Stages Ckarleston Contest At the Annual Roller Skate Contest recently held in the city, the Wofford Faculty was scheduled to engage in a Charleston contest. On the appointed night, the august group started forward and took their seats on the rostrum in front of an enormous crowd that buzzed with excitement. Betting was reckless with the odds greatly in favor of Gamewell, though the conservatives clung to the well- established fame of Dapper Dan DuPre. At the time to begin, Joseph K. Davis, chosen announcer, strode forward with that need-of-a-new- tire look on his face. Ladies and Gentlemen and Faculty Members, he began, the Faculty of Wofford College has made it a point never to be outdone by the student body. Therefore, at the invitation of the Roller Skate Show and the instigation of Dr. Rembert, they have ventured into this Charleston contest. Terry, Chaudon, Kirkland and Bourne, the cradle roll of the Faculty, are, of course, ineligible because of their immature years and the danger of over-exertion. The winner will receive a $5.95 jug of Herpicide, unless he is baldheaded; in that case, he will receive a hand-carved, bottle of Listerine. These awards were purchased by starving the students for nine months. The contestants will appear in alphabetical order; the first is Dr. Chiles. The orchestra sounded off with a syncopated serenade and Jimmie gracefully glided forward into the glare of the footlights. With amazing agility he limbered up and loosed a wild burst of dainty footwork, the floor clattering under the .stamp of his gigantic gunboats. After adding a German jerk and a French warble to his graceful body movements, Jimmie took his seat amid thunders of applause. With his bald dome scintillating with the reflection of the electric lights, Dr. Clinkscales came next and began to shake that thing. Chirping a rythmic rag, and snapping his fingers, he seiit his pedal extremities jazzing in every direction, and wiggling back and forth across the stage befdre the delighted spectators. Clink kicked one leg high like a chorus girl and took his seat. A. Mason DuPre followed, and with a hop, skip, and jump, he reached the front of the stage. Mace made the Charleston whiz and the audience howl with delight by manipulating his chubby legs through several fantastic steps, ejaculating a loud grunt with every kick. The announcer next called for Dr. Dan DuPre, but no one responded, and Uncle Dan was marked absent. Gamewell then took the floor. Uncle Augustus was a favorite and the audience howled. With grace personified and his gray beard flying in the wind, he began executing step after step. Kneeling on the floor, leaping high into the air, slapping his feet with his hands — no movement seemed beyond the accomplishment of the nimble Uncle Gus. With graceful body movements that made Pola Negri look like Ben Turpin, Gamewell danced back to his seat. When Jos. K. got up to announce again, the squeaky voice of Uncle Dan was heard in the rear of the audience. Wait! Wait! I just remembered the contest, he cried, and dashed upon the stage. Clattering two little square objects upon the floor. Uncle Dan began the Crap Shooter ' s Charleston. Come Seven! he cried, scooping up the dice and rolling them again. They call me ' Uncle Dan, ' but I ' m the Charleston Man! he sang, rolling the bones. However, Uncle Dan forgot he was doing the Charleston and began to examine the texture of the dice. He was about to decide that the small dots were fossil tracks when the judges made him sit down. Dean Herbert was next, but he gracefully gave his place to Dr. Snyder. Heinle, being ignorant of the Charleston, started to make a speech. But the a udience, taking the Wofford President ' s char- acteristic gesture for new steps, began to applaud. After doing his trip-hammer gesture several times, Heinle sat down in disgust. Colonel Herbert, who came next, as usual tried his best to imitate Dr. Snyder exactly and was howled down. After dodging several old hen products, he took his seat. Jos. K. arose to announce the next man, but a piercing shreik from the audience stopped him and Dr. Lee came dashing up beside him. It ain ' t fair, the venerable D. P. protested. This !!!■ ?? (censored) faculty won ' t let me try, and I been at Wofford longer ' n most o ' them. Dark Horse! Dark Horse! howled the audience, and at a gesture from Jos. K., Schofield carried the angry doctor off the stage. Radical Norton then came into the limelight, his mockingbird legs beating upon the floor like a snare drum and his flying red hair and scintillating mustache of fiery hue adding much color t ' o his performance. After frisking across the stage like a young jack rabbit, the muscular professor took his seat. Norton was followed by Dr. Pugh. After a low, graceful bow and several characteristic snorts. Bill said, . Hence, I would suggest that you take careful note of two new Charleston steps that I have invented: the Bill Tilden High Kick, and the Dr. DuBose Jack Leg. He then cut loose with some pedal manipulations that were ciuickly censored by the judges, and Bill had to sit down. Knottie Rembert had it announced that he would do the Psychological Charleston. Beginning with the Neurone Twist, and the Association Shimmy, he gave the Dendrite Dance, the Cortex Kick, several Nervous System Shakes, and an End Crgan Wiggle. Pug Trawick then gracefully strode out with a look of sublime confidence on his ' beaming brow. When he started the Charleston, his bay window shook up and down like jelly on a plate. But alas! In attempting a difficult step. Pug tripped, sailed high into the ozone, and landed upon his rearmost portion on the floor. A physician and a carpenter were called from the audience and a few minutes later the contest was continued. Dr. Waller took his turn next. Determined to live up to his name. Frog got down on all-fours and began to do the Toad-Stool Charleston, leaping across the stage on all-fours. When he took his seat the audience was bellowing. Being next in line. Dr. Wallace strode forth, his face burning with anger. As I am neither bald-headed nor have halitosis, I refuse to compete, he said, and that dastardly Jos. K. refuses to change the prize into a flve-pound box of cough drops. And with a look of righteous indignation, Dunk strode out, leaped into the Ark (the Chandler fossil) and sped out of sight. Thus ended the contest. The audience waited in breathless suspense while the judges retired to reach a decision. During the interim Uncle Dan and Uncle Gus, arguing about the prize, almost came to blows and had to be parted. However, the minds of the two playful youngsters ' wandered to some other subject and Uncle Dan forgot there had even been a Charleston contest . The judges announced that after careful consideration. Pug Trawick had lieen chosen winner, as he had made the biggest hit, the hit being so decided that it broke three planks on the stage floor.

Mr. Robinson was convicted of borrowing a bottle of Eddie Penard and failing to return even the bottle. I i Mr. J. N. Holcombe, world famous legal ad- viser to the Cosmopolitan Hairpin Co., has re- tired to his country home for a brief rest period, being fatigued by his last case. In the case, Mrs. Horsey was suing the firm for the return of her money, claiming that her hair pins broke when she accidentally pressed them against her head. Mr. Holcombe had the suit dismissed when he proved that the suing party was a hard- shelled Baptist. Mr. T. Algernon Folk, handsome leading man of the Helluvafix Picture Corporation, announces the release of his latest picture entitled Why Dogs Leave Home. Mr. J. Toady Schofield, president of the Un- used iSoap Co., has announced his retirement. Mr. Schofield says that the sight of so much soap has warped his personality, and has made life miserable for him. Mr. Bertram P. Ramsey, well known extralu- tionist, has advanced a new theory of fighting old age. His theory suggests the plan of dis- counting all days of sickness from one ' s age. When a man is sick for a week, for instance, he should not count that week on his age. If We feel that we are ageing too rapidly, we can take sick and prevent old age from overtaking us, ac- cording to Mr. Ramsey. Mr. T. B.

Phifer Cashier mi m i mt m i mi ) 0 Tke Modern Lass (Apologies to whoever ivrote The Barefoot Boy ) Hail to thee, my little lass, Primped and powdered up to class, With thy lips kissed redder still By cosmetics without thrill ; Jaunty are thy ways and airs, Free art thou from solemn cares; Mirth alone pursues thy step. Filling thee brimful of pep. Hair that hangs in boyish bob, Gives dismay to every snob ; Thinned eyebrow and plucked eyelash Lend thy face a bit of dash. Stockings rolled below the knee. Men-folk cannot help but see. Skirts so short and waists so long Gaily trip and dance along. Bold are fashions getting now — To her dictates all must bow; So prepare for what ' s in store, And the world is more and more ! To I saw her one day, as she passed down the street, In a flurry of gay animation ; And I gazed at her fondly with eye set for beauty In the lines of a perfect creation. I swore that I ' d have her, somehow and somewhere, Or never a night should I sleep; For my heart was aflame with the passion of love, And I knew that I must have relief. I met her, ' tis true, but often did rue The days of our intimacy. For she was a Marmon of sportsman design That broke me and maimed me and ruined me. Tke Grot I know a lake, a lake. Where the mirrored star-gleams shake On its breast; I know a spot, a spot, A dreamy, secluded grot. For lovers to rest. (Note: We learn to do this sort of bunk In college.

Never knife a biscuit off the plate. The fork is used. When forking a biscuit, keep the prongs down. Never eat green peas with a knife unless they are mixed with molasses. Always ask the hostess how much every- thing costs, so she will think you are domesti- cally inclined. As soon as dinner is announced, rush in ahead of the other guests, especially the ladies, and help your plate. This will show that you feel at home, and always pleases the hostess. Always reach for a dish rather than annoying anyone to pass it to you. Never use toothpicks unless the prongs of the fork are too large to fit the cavities. Always be frank with the hostess. If a cer- tain dish is distasteful to you, ask her to put it under the table. Always eat soup as noisily as possible. Thus you will show your hostess that you love soup. As soon as you have finished, leave the din- ing room and wait on the others in the living room. If you have spilled anything on your- self, ask the hostess to supply you with a bib next time you come. This shows how neat you are. When taking the last piece of roast, murmur softly, Pardon. If you step on a lady ' s toes while dancing, be nonchalant; remark on the size of her feet. 1=1 Clothes of Character and Style Are Features of MYERSONS THE MAN ' S STORE CLOTHIERS AND FURNISHERS 105 East Main Street Spartanburg, South Carolina a 151 N.
