' 06; German Club; Senior Dancing Club; Hop Com- mittee, iant Manager Track Team. ' o6- ' o ; f r- poral, Serjeant; Agri- cultural Course Xo. I. A soul with but a single thought, who walks like he is stirring lemonade with himself. Judge is extremely religious, very punctual, and just as frugal as he can be. He can be wooed, and won, ladies, by cooing at him. We. therefore, often find him in lonely solitude singing ditties. He eats to live, and lives that he may study Geology. Also we sometimes hear of Deb talking in his sleep. MARION JACOB FLNCHESS, )rangeburg. S. C. Why can not lb sweet pas ust as wt II be out 0} ' lie world, as to be out oj the fashjfn. Literary Critic in Palmetto Literary Society: Senior Chemistry Club; Agricultural Course Xo. I. Funch. the coming chemist of America, is an active member of the Chemistry Club, and will be chief anal- yzer of fertilizers for our dear, old Palm- etto State. Funch is a moving figure in the Ananias Club, and has faith- fully performed his part so far. His low-country speech and the sweet silvery peals of laughter that he lets out at times makes him a tit subject for an end man in a minstrel show. F or the last four years Funch has divided his time between studying Col. Hardin and writing to that pretty little girl he left behind him in Orangeburg. 18

BELTON BONNER EZELL, Cherokee, S. C. The pain of one maiden ' s refusal is drowned hi the pain of the next. Corporal; Y. M. C. A.; Columbian Lit- erary Society ; Agricul- ture, Course I. B. B. bears a striking resemblence to Napoleon — in size. He takes life easy, never worries, and is partial to breakfast foods, brunettes and dime shows. His specialty is flirting with the girls, breaking many hearts, and building numerous air-castles in the feminine minds. In accomplishing this, B. B. has contributed wonderfully toward developing the post card sys- tem, and is said to require a special car- rier to bring his mail. His prospects for a brilliant military career were blighted in Soph, but have partially re- vived since he became a member of the bloody corps. RUPURT HOWARD FIKE, Spartanburg, S. C. ' Tis better to have loved and lost. Than never to have loved at all. Agriculture and Animal Industry Course : Senior Dancing Club ; Glee Club ; Vete- rinary Science Club ; Tiger Staff; ' 08 Taps Staff; Prosecuting Critic, Reporting Critic, Vice- President and Corresponding Secretary of the Columbian Literary Society; Chief High Truth Twister of the Ananias Club; Class Prophet and Class Poet. Cheeky Rube, the noisy rambler of the class, may very appropriately be designated one hundred and seventy pounds of pure and unadulterated nerve. This musical mountaineer has a holy horror of Pendleton, S. C, for reasons best known to himself. For his distin- guished appearance, he owes more to his prominent eyes and bushy black hair than to his huge feet. 17

EARLE V1LLARS QARRETT, Barksdale, S. C. Thy sweet voice haunts me still. Civil Engineering Course ; Corporal ; Sergeant-at-Arms, Secretary; and President, of Calhoun Literary So- ciety: Chief Marshal, ' 08 Celebra- tion: Senior Dancing -Club; Engineering Club; Art Ed- itor ' 07 Annual. E. V. or Wild West spends half of his of time writing letters to his girl, and the other half in the typification of the cow-boy. He is very fond of telling his experiences as a civil engineer in West Virginia, and when once started on thi, theme he has been known to talk for hours without ceasing. He can tell almost as much about the economic possibilities of civil engineering in West Virginia as Professor Harper can tell about tobacco growing in Ireland. Will get married in twenty days after graduation. WILSON PARHAM GEE, Santuck, S. C. When the stream runneth smoothest, the water is deepest. Corporal; Ssrgeant; Lieutenant; Liter- ary Critic, and President of Palmet- to Literary Society; Chaplain of Class of ' 08, in ' o6- ' o7, ' o7- ' o8; Chairman Bible Study Com- mittee, ' o7- ' o8; Associate Editor of Tiger ' c 7- ' o8; Y. M. C. A. Editor of Chronicle, ' 07— ' 08; Taps Staff; Agri- culture, Course I. Wilson was captured and partially tamed somewhere among the hills of Union County; but his domestication has not even been entirely completed since entering Clemson. Wilson stands well with the faculty, yet when his grade falls below 99.51, he thinks the professors cherish malice against him. Much of his spare time is said to be occupied in supplying Professor Harper with information concerning Siooo.oo jobs His military career was short, but exceedingly brilliant. Despite the excellent quality of work he has done while at Clemson, Wilson, is a wild and dangerous character, and will bear watching at all times. 19
