George Jfltsfh Harnett WESTMIXSTER, S. C. Love manufactures every man into a poet while the fever lasts. Sergeant, First Lieutenant; Track Team, ' 07=08, ' 08=09 ; Winner of Medal in S. I. A. A. Meet, ' 08; Literary Critic Columbian Society; Y. M. C. A.; Sunday School; Bible Class Leader; Secretary Veterinary Science Club; Night Riders ' Club. Agricultural Course II. Mish, Serg. , will answer with a re- proving smile to the name Curly Head. This lean, lank, long, little fellow, like Flem, came strolling down from the mountains with such long, graceful (?), kan- garoo-like strides, that Dr. Calhoun took him on track, where he has made good. Serg. has never had any great military aspirations (except for the last twenty-two years), and, consequently, when he was taken from ranks in junior, he only smiled and said, They thay I ' ve got a thargeant. His spare hours are spent admiring himself in the mirror, and caring for his pet curl. He will win world renown at the Olympic games. Robert Crsfetne $lafee ABBEVILLE. S. C. Hail fellow, well met! Corporal, Sergeant; Senior Dancing Club; Veterinary Science Club; Ringleader of the Night Riders; Cotillion Club; Pendleton Guards. Agricultural Course II. This product of old Abbeville is one of our society men, though his friends remem- ber one instance in which he was eclipsed by Leander. He is also pretty much of a hobo and a rambler, having probably traveled more than any other member of our class. He always has a good time any- where he goes, and takes a delight in telling of his experiences. He will go back to Abbeville, walk the streets, carrying a hand satchel, and be spoken of by the natives as the young Dr. Blake. n

Bobert (Eugene Sbams MERIWETHER, S. C. thou hast any merit, it is hidden by thy conceit. Senior Dancing Club; Pendleton Guards. Civil Engineering Course. Percy is a very modest (?) little boy. He is exceedingly coy and shy, and is easily embarrassed, especially when in the presence of the fair sex. In spite of this weakness, however, he cherishes the hope of becoming a heart-smasher. If you desire to see him to the best advantage, you should go to his room about time for reveille. He in- tends going to Panama, in the near future, in order to show Uncle Sam how the Canal should be built. Carl Clforb Jlalutoin SIMPSONVILLE, S. C. An excellent scholar: one that luith a head filled with calf brains without any sage in them. Corporal, Sergeant, Lieutenant; Columbian Literary Society, Vice=President , Reporting Critic, Literary Critic, Chaplain; Class Chaplain, ' 06= ' 07; Y. M. C. A.; Chairman of Religious Meetings Committee. Agriculture and Chemistry Greenville claims the subject of this sketch. Carl or C. E. has been identified with the Y. M. C. A. work. He winks at the professors, and gets horsed out about it. When at leisure, he can be found smoking his pipe, munching vegetables, and building air castles for him- self, and the one girl that has had him in captivity so long — just who, ' tis hard to tell. This breezy youngster will run a big farm, and make a good citizen. r6

A.; Vice=President York County Club; Sunday School. Metallurgy Course. This specimen of humanity discovered North America in the Styx of southwestern York County. He is a very graceful dancer, and at no few balls has he made hits among the ladies. Inasmuch as a preacher ' s daugh- ter thinks thai there must be some good in a man who wears a white vest. Jno. R. will, after graduation, return to Sharon, cultivate a red nose, grow a cotton face, and become a merry, welcome Santa Claus. ILetoiS JSopb Pranbon MCCONNELLSVILLE, S.

B.. was hoboing his way to Atlanta on a freight train one night in the fall f ' 04, he was put off near the Seneca trestle for not dividing his Budweiser with the flagman. Seeing lights towards the south, he made his way thither, and thus discovered Clemson College. He liked the place so well, that he immediately caught on, and has ever since been strictly one of the buy- He is in the height of his glory on platoon drill. He will, some day. be a wealthy farmer — if he can be broken from smoking cigars and buying postage stamps.
