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.

SAMUEL ELDRIDQE BAILES, Fort Mill, S. C. Poetry. Prose and Fiction. Were liis dreams by night and day. Agricultural Course Xo. II . President of the Palmetto Literary Society: Presi- dent of the Veterinary Science Club: Chief Literary Editor of the ' 08 Taps; Y. M. C. A. Editor of the Tiger; member of the famous Animal Industrv Sec- tion: Orator ' s me- dal in Palmetto Society, ' 08. Senator. like other literary men of genius, finds inestimable and unending amusement in perusing hundreds of pages of ancient literature. The library record will tell his tale both as to quality and quantity. The happy smile and unsophisticated expression which always beams from his ruddy face 5 to something better beneath. His face reveals plenty of obstinacy, mingled with a sprinkling of level- headed common sense : but he has a hankering for sesquipedalion words in writing and speaking. ARLAND JACKSON BAKER, Conway, S. C. Rise up, our Exodus, Let yourself be seen. For, at least, in scientific knowledge You arc not so very green. Agricultural Course Xo. II; Columbian Society: Y. M. C. A.: Senior Dancing Club : Yeter- inarv Science ' Club. Exodus. Brunette. Queen Eliz- abeth are the names of this famous atom of humanity from the marsh- grass country. Exodus, as he is commonly called, has discovered the remarkable patent food for pigs which will revolutionize the hog-raising industrv. that is feeding them on corn- stover. He has gained the distinction in the class-room of never calling a thing by its proper name, and has advanced the wonderful idea that the pyramids once walked out of Egypt. A more brilliant horticulturist than he has never lived, for he has discovered the art of converting garden peas into spinach. 10
