James obep (Earle PICKENS, S. C. The heaviest weight hangs on the smallest wires. Reporting Critic, Literary Critic, President, and Winner of the Debaters ' Medal in 1907. Civil Course. Earl is the Ichabod Crane of his class, so he has spent all of his summer vacations, since entering college, instructing the youths of Pickens County in the ways of righteous- ness (?). In spite of the fact that he has Peggy for his roommate, Earl has re- mained a bright boy. He longs to return to his home at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains, where he will crap out on the farm, swap squashes as barter, and live a long, happy, and useful life. William Jofm Ctiang ABBEVILLE, S. C. have an immortal longing in me. Palmetto Literary Society; Class Foot=ball Team, ' 05= ' 09. Civil Engineering Course Pompey says that some of these days he is going to make something unusual happen down about his home. He is a dili- gent student; and, in any conversation, he betrays a genuine dispositon to smile at anything that you might say about him. In all probability, he was very tender in his younger days; but, nowadays, he is as tough as an old chicken. He is often heard sing- ing, There ' s a hole in the bottom of the sea ; hence you can judge that he is a member of the Y. M. C. A. He will never marry, for he says that romance is more pleasing than history. 2 3

f James Coke Courngton BEXXETTSYILLE, S. C. Things arc not always what they seem: first appearance deceives many. Palmetto Literary Society: Chief Marshall at ' 09 Anni- versary : Yice=President Pendleton Guards: Chief Truth Elongator for Civil Section: Civil Engineering Club: Senior Dancing Club; Y. RL C. A. Ci il Engineering Course. ' Jim is a heart smasher of wide re- pute. Like many others, he is not noted for any industry, except the expenditure of energy in telling how hard the mechanical course is. Strange to say. however, he can never be found doing anything except writ- ing. (Notes on practical work of course.) Somebody has deceived Jim into thinking that he is witty, and. as a consequence, his friends frequently suffer. He will return to Bennettsville, get married, and be town mar- shal. William George Qomimcfc PROSPERITY. S. C. With graceful steps lie st ides the streets, and smiles on all the ladies sweet. Corporal, First Sergeant, Captain: Calhoun Society; Sunda School: Senior Dancing Club: Cotillion Club: Junior and Senior Science Clubs. Electrical Course. Behold! another Xewberry kid denying the distinguishing qualities. For his knightly appearance William owes more to his tall, stately figure than to his hyena smiles, which the ladies call cute. He is very conscientious: but on one occasion, he. being short of cigar funds, was forced to the dire necessity of selling Pitts a valentine out of office hours. His scientific knowledge will some day make Frog Level bloom like the lily of the valley. He will spend (in vain) the greater part of his life trying to improve the reputation of his county. 22

Flem ( Monster ) is one of the several animal industry men who have bathed themselves for five years in the bewitching (?) smiles of the Clemson faculty. This Mon- ster strayed from the blockade paths of the land of the mountain dew. and found his way to Clemson. where he has succeeded in raising everything he came in contact with. including the morals of the senior section, Xo. 2. Flem is proud of the fact that he is a self-made man. but often bemoans the fact that he must have evidently spent too much time on his pedal extremities. He will gain great renown by preparing for war in time of peace. Jofm Cfjomas JfolU POMARIA. S. C Every man, however small, makes a figure in !iis own eyes, Corporal. Sergeant.

This good-looking boy is a regular hurricane to strangers, but to those who know him. he is merely an evening breeze. While in the presence of ladies, he teaches his lips their sweetest smile, and his tongue its softest tone. He will perhaps someday make him- self famous by tunneling the Atlantic; but. as it is very hard to teach an old toad new tricks, he will most likely return to his old home. The styx of Xewberry. and become a terrace builder and land survevor. 21
