Hugh Robert Clinkscales BLYTHEWOOD, S. C. For .some who have his secret nature guessed, Have found him not too much a priest. ' ' Clink is a specimen of Fairfield; therefore history and political economy come easy to him. Much to his chagrin, his military aspirations were blighted in Junior. It was found that the atmosphere of Senior privatism was more congenial to his delicate constitution. I lis qualities as a debater arc unlimited, he having met and defeated the re- nowned and venerable Bob Nickles. His two chief faults were: first, coming to section formation eating the last bite; second, after studying a Daddy lesson for three hours, invariably asking every member of the section where the lesson began. Diligence will make his success in life certain. Agriculture and Chemistry. Sergeant.

Francis Worthington Chapman NEWBERRY, S. C. • Tis fate that flings the dice; and as one flings, i if kings makes peasants, and of peasants kings. Little Francis first disco vered America at the historic town of Newberry. His early education was received in the Newberry public schools and at Newberry College, from which place he graduated in ' 05 with the degree of B. A. Hoping to attract attention in the electrical world, he entered the Junior class at Clemson, September, ' 08. Since coming to Clemson, he has won quite a reputation as a student. His chief faults are buying experience and smashing heart--. Electrical. Acting Lieutenant.

Donald Brevard Clayton SHELTON, s. ( ' . I lei wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. I). B. is like Alexander the Great. Oh, no! not a great fighter, for he never was even a corporal, but he is crying for worlds to conquer in the name of Dan Cupid. His love letters cover Dixie like the dew. and at present he is push- ing his conquest into Arkansas. I). B. has the great distinction of being able to z«-t permits when he wants them. This accounts for his being such a shining light in the young social set at Calhoun. Electrical.

William C. Crum ORANGEBURG, S. C. Plant thou thy feet, as on a stair, And mount right up and on. Bill is capable of doing anything he desires. His les- sons do not bore him very greatly, and he. too. has a jolly time at school. Wherever a little nerve is needed, Bill is always sent for. Before the footlights, or on the side lines, he always stars. He had his copy of the Denmark Times discontinued on account of the poor editorials; at least that ' s what we are told. But seriously, Bill has had a rather enviable college career, and his merry voice will be missed when we have sepa- rated. His future is in his own hands, to lie a- great as he desires.

Knox Easterling TATUM, s. c. Yet, in his worst pursuits, I ween, Pure hopes of high intent. The subject of this -ketch is not half so innocent as he looks. Everybody says Knox is going to be a rich man; and. if it takes a married man to save the coin, Knox is going to be second only to Rockefeller. He has given close attention to the study of electricity. Oh. no! that is not all; he is a recog- nized authority on the culture of strawberries, and ha- been known to cany on scientific investigation in the Horticultu- ral grounds at 2 A. M. By his kind and unobtrusive disposi- tion. Knox ha- won many friends during Ins college clays, and it can be well said of him. The man of great spirit is congenial. Electrical. Corporal, Lieutenant.
