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. Lieutenant: Class Foot=ball; Cal= noun Society; Junior Dancing Club; Civil Engineering. Civil Engineering Course. 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

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

Mamel $aul Jfolh DENMARK, S. C. Oh, take me to the laud where the river of booze is found, where mint juleps grow upon the trees and high-balls are rolling on the ground ! Ananias Club; Biological Club. Agriculture Course I. General or Pollywog is another Clem- son parasite. He is also a natural born scientist, and has done a great deal of re- search work, and made some startling dis- coveries in the realms of chemistry, biology, and electricity. His most recent contribution to the world of science, however, is the work- ing out of the formula for the manufacture of a fine grade of booze from denatured alcohol, water, and cough syrup. He is ex- ceedingly popular with the Faculty, and, ever since his sophomore year, he and his affairs have constituted a standing subject for dis- cussion by that body at its weekly meetings. £ustance Cugenc arp FOUNTAIN INN, S. C. Do not give him to posterity as an example to imitate, but as a warning to deter. Corporal, First Sergeant; Senior Dancing Club. Agriculture and Chemistry. Though Rattus does not belong to a literary society, still he has accomplished no little in the literary world ; for every week he sends to Fountain Inn an epistle the size of Bennie ' s Budget. He says that true ease in writing comes from experience and not by chance. Though his military career was unusually bright during his first days, we are sad to say that, later, his health (?) would not permit him to leave his room, not even to attend a social occasion indoors, and he was compelled to cast away his military ambi- tions. He will explore the P. I. and assist in demonstrating many theories. 25
