Class Poem. In the dim uncertain future, When the years have passed us by, Will recollections of the Past, Be accompanied by a sigh? Or will the memories reminiscent Of our lives bring no regret, Will our attainments be as many, As we fondly now expect? Has each man fulfilled his duty, Living up to ideals high, As a retrospective glance, At his well-done work he steals? Or has he long since realized, That, as Life ' s race is nearly run, His boyhood plans for the Future, Must forever remain undone? Therefore, think long and soundly, Of your chosen field, class-mate; On the roll of Fame and Greatness, Write many names of the Class ' oS. Poet.

MADISON HOWELL ACKERMAN. Cottageville, S. C. c draweth out the thread of his verbosity finer than the staple of his argument. Sergeant; President of the Colleton County Club: Senior Dancing Club; Ananias Club; Agricultural Course No. II. Ack, Doctor, Bigman or Sapphirus when spoken in his vicin- ity never fails to elicit a response. He is a genius and the largest one in cap- tivity. His favorite pastime is read- ing and rolling the bones, or playing a solo on a piccolo comb trombone. His only authentic previous history is that of a hobo. Doc has poetic instincts which if nurtured and given proper attention, would make him famous. He should have been on the Track Team as he is very fast on his pins. On one occasion he outran Capt. Clay in a 200 yard dash by ten seconds, crossing the north gangway at full speed, like a hunted cat on a rail fence. JOHN EDGAR ALVERSON, Enoree, S. C. When life ' s great battle is o ' er and the sun of life goes down, your battle will be finely fought. There ' ll be many a star in your crown. Electrical Course; Corporal; Sergeant: Captain; Taps Staff; Senior Danc- ing Club; German Club; Science Club ; Tennis Club. Phosphorus or Phos, so nick- named on account of his brightness, is the ideal electrician of modern times. Phos is considered one of the best drilled cadets in the corps, and has made himself thoroughly familiar with military tactics, which he reviews every night after taps. He is not in love, however, but he will seme day have a vi e like an almanac, that is so he can get a new one every year. Phos is thinking of getting a job at some prep. school as commandant and teacher of how to make electrical no vel- ties.
