JOSIAH WALKER KEEL CORPORAL, [ST SERGEANT, AND 1ST LIEUTENANT Maussa, you means dat niggah Rastus, lie ' s de triHinest, ugliest niggah—but I likes him. Rastus became a disturber of the peace at Allen- dale, S. C, on January 8th, [886. Presumably he was sent to cause the good people of that quiet lit- tle village to break their New dear ' s resolutions; and tlie old inhabitants say that he was a howling success. Some go so far as to saj that he was one of the causes of the earth-quake that occurred later in the same year, but there is some doubt about this, lie attributes his present high standard of scholarship to the foundations laid in the public schools near Allendale. Entered Clemson in 1902, but stayed at home the next year. Returned in 1904, and cast his lot with the straight Agricul- turals. He was a member of the German Club, and of the Senior Dancing Club, in which he was Vice-President. He was Captain of the Scrub eleven of ' 04. Sub. on Varsity, ' 05. and left guard on Varsity, ' 06. Rastus will do errands for the ladies at Allen- dale.
