In name and stature his nickname Gun is very appropriate; but in no other sense. He is a giant without his fierceness, a smiling Willie without friv- olity, and a lover devoted to his cause. A man of reputable habits, conservative views, and an adept at love making. His numerous letters flood the mail bags and furnish reading matter for dozens of the fair sex throughout our dear Palmetto State. Though of voting age, his interest in public affairs is far from that of a politician. ROBERT BOWEN CARPENTER, Easlev, S. C. Don ' t be afraid! he won ' t hurt you; He wouldn ' t even touch a hair: All he wants is an electrical toy And a pretty little Teddy Hear.

He has never been known to disturb anyone, except that he creates an inward sensa- tion to those with whom he speaks, his voice resembling that of a maiden. Being tender-hearted, he often displays untold sympathy lor dumb animals, particuarly on one occasion, when he found a rat in his pudding at dinner. He will some day be employed as a chorus girl in The Tenderfoot. 13

Corps extension! sings out John- nv in his deep, bass voice, and the corps comes to extension. Of course it ought to be corps attention but Johnnv talks with a certain lisp and can ' t sav it right. His heart always fills with rapture when it comes his turn to call the corps to extension. His athletic figure and handsome face never fail to melt the stonv hearts of the female division of society so Johnny is bound to marry an heiress some day. As a scrub football player— well, his match will have to be found vet. 12
