3Tofjn J unter HesfeSne CHARLESTON, S. C. Eternal smiles his emptiness betray. Member of the 1908 Hop Committee; Vice=President of the German Club. Electrical Engineering Course. Pete is from the Bottry, and his speech bears the unmistakable stamp of that famous locality. We all agree with a certain young lady who, on one occasion, remarked that Pete ' s laugh reminded her of the latest style of hats ; that is, it is built on the Merry Widow plan. An innate desire for greatness caused Pete to leave the congenial surroundings of the battery, and locate in the dreary land of Clemson. During his rat days, his genial smile won him many friends and saved him from the dire consequences of his freshness. In spite of the many vicissitudes of the Elec- trical course, and some rigorous treatment by Sammy, Pete still retains his smile. Verily, it is a smile that won ' t come off, and will be much in evidence when he is elected to the Legislature from Charleston County. 3Totm Uogan jfflarsfjall GREENWOOD, S. C. .4 college education shows a man how little other people know. Junior and Senior Electrical Science Club. Electrical Course. Here, ladies, is a specimen well worth your notice. He pretends that he is no spring chicken, although he has bluffed the faculty only two years. He is a firm believer in the old saying that, It is never too late to do better. Acting on this belief, he left Ga. Tech. and joined the Class of ' 09 in our Junior year. He is scheduled to go back to Green- wood, become a power in church affairs, and chop the heads off those members of the feathery tribe that dare to disturb his rest by crowing on the Sabbath morning. 3 1

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°

ILouisf be$. JflcCrabp CHARLESTON, S. C. He hath no leisure who itseth it not. President of Civil Engineering Club. Civil Engineering Course. Rev, or Reverend, is another battery product, and stands ready to battle for his native heath if need be. Rev early discour- aged any attempts at the recognition of his military genius; hence, another flower has wasted its sweetness on the desert air. He likes, however, to attend reveille formations. Rev doesn ' t waste much love on the girls, but he is easy to get mashed; and, with the pretty house he is designing, it ' s hard to foresee what will happen. He will design ships in Charleston, and promenade the Bottry in stovepipe and beaver between times. $enrp talker ifldluer CHERAW, S. C. On their own merits modest men are dumb. Corporal, First Sergeant, Captain; Y. M. C. A. Electrical Course. Mclver, according to his own statements, came to this institution for the sole purpose of learning electricity ; but, at the very beginning of his career, he allowed himself to be seduced from this laudable purpose by the tinsel, pomp, and empty show of military authority; consequently, he has spent most of his time in creasing his trousers, shining his shoes, studying the drill regulations, and attempting to get his spinal column to conform to that line known in military circles as th e Grecian Bend. Mc. will be commandant of the Cheraw Military Academy. 3
