De- spite the fact that he retains many of the characteristics of his rat vear. Rat stands well with the ; and the girls dote on him. Has occa- sional fits of abstraction, during which he sometimes studies. He is especially devoted to veterinary science, and what he does not know about the subject may be found in almost any text book. Like the lilies of the field. Rat toils not. neither does he spin — except when he receives orders to distribute arms to the corps of cadets. BEVHMIN HARRISON COVINGTON, JR. Bennettsville. S. C. i titer that! to be ; s. ral; Y.

CALHOUN LILLIANS CANNON, Newberry, S. C. So gi ntle he that in the night. He would not even strike a li°ht. Agricultural Course ; Corporal ; Ser- geant; Lieutenant; Senior Dancing Club; Cotillion Club; Track Team ; Champion Sopho- more Class Football Team ; end on the Varisty Squad ' oft and ' 07. 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. Columbian Literary Society; Senior Electrical Science Club; Y. M. C. A.; Electrical Course. Bob is a timid little creature. 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

FRANKLIN JACOB CRIDER, St. Matthews, S. C. Quiet and study, flavored with a smile, Were his ideal all the while. Corporal, Sergeant, Lieutenant; Secre- tary, Literary Critic, and President of Columbian Literary Society; Orator in annual celebration, ' 08; Tackle in Junior football team; and tackle in varsity jqtiad in his senior year; Tiger Staff; Literary editor of the Chronicle, Agriculture, Course I; Pres- ident of Agroru my Sci- ence Club; President of Orangeburg Count v Club. Crid ' s sole redeeming features are a becoming blush and an illuminating smile. Otherwise, he is considered quite hop less, notwithstanding the fact that a. few far-sighted individuals predict that he will some day become governor of South Carolina. Is much given to oratory, and his stentorian voice can olten be heard swaying the multitudes of the Columbian Literary Society. Crid has spent considerable time proving that man is not descended from the monkey, but from the kan- gar. o. Will marry within one month after leaving college and run for the legislature during the next campaign. FRANK WELLS CRISP, Laurens, S. C. Cudgel thy brains no -more about it. Agricultural Course No. I; Palmetto Literary Society ; German Club ; vSenior Dancing Club ; Hop Committee, ' 07; Scrub Baseball, ' o6- ' o7; Class Football Team, ' 07, ' 08. Crip with restless hand will sweep all opposing controversists from his path, while he himself remains cock of the walk. Do not be surprised, ladies, when Crip, instead of lifting his hat to you, nervously takes off his shoe, for he is by habit a nervous youngster. His learning, like the lunar beam, affords light, but not heat. How fluent non- sense trickles from his tongue ! Some people call him sweet. Good-bye. Crip will always be on time, for the bank closes at four. 15
