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.

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

Seeing lights towards the south, he made his way thither, and thus discovered Clemson College.

This little fine contessor tripped his light fantastic toe in the gymnasium not long ago for the first time since he has been in college. Since that time, he has sidetracked his bash- fulness, and now he is always, like bad money, at every dance. His polite manners and genuine disposition to do good will fan his hopes for him, and grace them with a wedding cheer. We expect to hear before long that he is the Honorable O. M.

He has a fine countenance, w r hich shows the invincible spirit of a foot-ball man. Jeems once had military aspirations, but he bloomed as a military man for one week only. He is also an orator of some repute, and we expect him to take an active part in the politics of his native countv in the coroner ' s race next summer.
