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

$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

KH TQ Robert abercromfaie Harris OWIXGS, S. C. That which is called firmness in a king is tailed obstinacy in a donkey. Calhoun Literary Society, Y. M. C. A., and Sunday School; Bible Class; Senior Science Club. Electrical Course. This bright, light-haired lad hails from the styx around Owings, S. C. When he first beheld himself, he sighed and wondered if he were only a broomstick. He is good on telling graveyard jokes and ghost tales every evening after supper, especially when there are lady visitors on the campus. His unusual talent for music causes his neighbors no little inconvenience, as he insists upon lying awake and singing at night. Bob is a military man; but, unfortunately, the com- mandant has never discovered the fact. (Thomas iflitchell punter PROSPERITY, S. C. Some people have a perfect genius for doing nothing and doing it assiduously. Calhoun Literary Society; V. M. C. A.; Vice-President of Newberry County Club; Electrical Science Club. Mechanical Electrical Course. Tommy has made quite a reputation in the Electrical Course. Cadets rooming near him cannot study on account of his constant dancing and shouting in the halls. His spare moments are spent in the classroom, which causes him to stand well in the estimation of his professors. He is erroneously called the timid one. but he secretly admires the girls. Tommy has several nicknames, but Ange- lina seems to attract his attention the quick- est, and makes a cute little smile creep over his face. 28
