Aaron Joseph Becker SPARTANBURG, S. ( . When I sai ' 1 thai I ' l die a bachelor, I never dreamed [ ' d live to be married. Huron or Beck does as he pleases and takes the - confinements, lie is far too amiable to allow life to become monotonous, for his favorite pastime is yelling in the mess hall, and he devoted all meal times in Junior to this avocation. While in the section, he enjoys himself by ruffling Buck ' s temper; and declaring his hatred of married life. Although not a studious lad, he has been a class leader.
