A.; Bible Class Leader; Senior Dancing Club; Cotillion Club. Metallurgy Course. While other men spend their time in sleep- ing, loafing, talking, or playing, Willie Green is seriously and diligently perusing every available book on how to look military. Hyrne — though he insists upon being called Captain — was forced to accept the Cap- taincy of B Co. He was never known to be on time at company formation or to report others late. Willie Green is undecided whether he will accept a commission in the U. S. Army or follow his chosen profession and go to Norway and pick rock. Robert $arham $ttev SANTUC, S. C. This bold bad man.

Metallurgical Engineering Course. Potcham, Jete. How this bold bad man from the wild fastnesses of Union County, was induced to submit to the tame existence at Clemson for four years is a mystery to every- body. That he is here, however, is a fact of which we are all well aware ; for he makes more noise, smokes more cigarettes, swipes more alcohol from the chemical laboratory, and smashes more hearts than any other man in the corps. The wild boisterousness of his disposition is no doubt due to his natural environment in that wild and woolly region from which he comes. He will probably be a revenue officer for Uncle Sam. 29

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

Jones. or Allen, as his most intimate friends call him, is a jolly good fellow, and has made quite a hit at Clemson. He has taken part in almost everything, from football up or down (depending upon your interest in social functions) to foot shovelling. He will i have (B. S.) 3 attached to his name. Allen has such a cute way of saying something — guess some yankee girl around Boston Tech. had that peculiar stutter. His one regret is that he can not look forward with the other Rats to getting his corporal. George 2)anrtamafeer iiettt D. D. C. C A. C shall not look upon liis like again.

Agriculture and Chemistry. Being a typical Newberrian, George, Happy. or Cotton-top. is quite a danger- ous character, and deserves watching on all occasions. He was known to walk with a gun in front of barrack for five successive Saturday afternoons: his motive for this suspicious act is not known. Happy enjoys the unbounded confidence of the faculty ; but. on one occasion, an extra detach- ment had to be ordered out to control him, because one of the profs, skinned him down to 98.5. He will succeed Teddy as eco- nomic editor of the Outlook. 3°
