$aul fHcBaniel ce SANTTJC, S. C. How often we see the greatest genius buried in obscurity. Lieutenant; Palmetto Literary Society; ice=President , Reporting Critic, Sergeant=at=Arms. Mechanical=Electrical Course. Paul is an expert on saluting, and on one occasion he saluted the commandant in such rapid succession that E Company got uneasy about their lieutenant. Faul is known as hall-boy, and woe be unto the cadet who thoughtlessly throws paper in the halls after they have been policed. Gee is very fond of his Electrical studies, anl we predict for him a dazzling future and a shining pate. His affections seem to have wandered toward Columbia College, although he doesn ' t seem to waste much love for the girls. He will be Chief Electrician of Santue. 3Jam.es (Dtts (Srafjam LAKE CITY, S. C Without big words how could he say so much ' Corporal, Sergeant, Lieutenant; Palmetto Literary Society; Sunday School; Y. M. C. A. Agriculture and Chemistry. Aunt Sallie came to Clemson in Septem- ber in 1905; but being of a quiet disposition, however, he was not known till the following spring, when he announced himself a candi- date for a Corp. with his numerous baskets of strawberries that were sent to Cap. He was never known to do or say anything except at his weekly singing periods, during which time he disturbs all rooming on his hall. Having lost his cap on one occasion, which loss resulted in confusion in the police force, and a contracted cold, he will retire to country life to overcome the trouble. 26

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

ettrp German ©reette ABBEVILLE, S. C. Doubling his pleasure, and his cares divid- ing. Sergeant; Palmetto Literary Society; Senior Dancing Club; Scrub FooUball, ' 05= ' 06. Agricultural Course No. II. Leander, Armstrong. Behold, gentle- men, the king of all heart-smashers; for this valiant son of old Abbeville is an exceedingly heavy man with the ladies. Up to the present time, he has caused more feminine sighs than any other man of whom the class of ' 09 can boast. His numerous conquests along this line, however, have not spoiled his disposi- tion ; and, on the whole, he is a very good and jolly old chap. His favorite pastimes are smoking and reminiscing. Being a man of large experience, and the possessor of a very checkered career, his reminiscences are con- sequently highly interesting. amos ILple Harris SPARTANBURG, S. C. Oh, let me close my eyes and dream sweet, fanciful, vagrant dreams of love. Sergeant, Quarter=Master Sergeant, Lieutenant and Quar= termaster; Prosecuting Critic, Reporting Critic; Recording Secretary, Vice=President, and President of the Columbian Literary Society; Debater in Annual Society Celebration; Y. M. C. A. and Sunday School; Alchemist Club; President of Spartanburg Countv Club; ' Varsity Track Team; Class Foot=ball, ' 04= ' 05= ' 06, Scrubs, ' 07, and Varsity, ' 08. The greatest ambitions of this son of Sparta, were to wear a C and to be called a ladies ' man ; and he has never yet seen that lady whom he could not successfully rush if he wanted to — it doesn ' t often happen that he wants to, however. When Lyle is away on permit, the postmistress is the first to find it out by the great reduction of epistles to Lander and Converse. The Lord only can tell what will become of him. 27
