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.

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

A.; Chairman of t Social Committee of Y. M. C. A.; Bible Class Leader, Sunday School. Agricultural Course I. Luther is one of the limelights of the class, especially when it conies to promoting social functions. He is a born ladies ' man, and it is no uncommon occurrence to find, where he has gone along, a fair maid pining away for her stolen heart. Byars is always Johnnie on the Spot when there ' s any- thing like a foot shovelling going on. Being very desirous of military glory, he has never spared himself any(?) means for attaining military distinction. He will reap a fortune when he gets out his book entitled, The Quickest, Surest, and Most Harmless Way at Heart-Smashing. Carle CfjamnesfS CLIO, S. C. There are many things in this world that I wot not of. Y. M. C. A.; Junior and Senior Elect. Science Club; High Chief Officer=of=the=Guard. Electrical Course. Earl, Buddy. In the fall of ' 05, a west bound cyclone, while passing over this place, came in contact with the comman- dant ' s leniency, which is always floating around loose. As a result, the cyclone was completely demolished, and Buddy was picked from among the wreckage. The usual stripes were placed upon him, and he began to serve his four years ' sentence. Since that time, the Electrical Course has pursued him so relentlessly that he has had little time for other things. He will make a success of the howling variety by drilling South Carolina youths in the sword manual. As a side line, he will illuminate the city of Clio with his genius and electric lights. 19
