Maysville High School, and Kingstree High School. Having nothing else to do and nowhere else to go, he came to Clemson, September, ' 06. Since coming here, Percy has made many friends among the faculty, his chief friends being the Professors of English and Military Science. S.

This lad from Lake City entered the Preparatory Class in ' 05. He is serving five years, instead of seven years as Jacob the brother of Esau did, for his intended. He says nothing is worth while that is easy to get.

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.

Tallye Fulmer BATESBURG, S. ( ' . • lis worth that makes the man, Tallye is the same jolly follow to-day that be was yester- day, and promises to be as true to-morrow. He has pursued his way with a few interruptions, hut. at t ho end. « ill ho w it h the rest of us. One veil r, ho went West for experience. While out there, ho became a hero, and was quite wildly eulogized and may git a Carnegie medal. But of their own merits, modest men are dumb, and doubtless Tallye knows more than we bave an idea. The future is yet uncertain, hut Tallye will make his mark in the electrical world. Electrical. Corporal, Sergeant, First Lieutenant.

From the haunts of the whippoorwill tame he here, his bead with knowledge to fill. Yap, tho inclined to be somewhat quiet, likes to talk of old Pee Doe. It ' s always summer in and out of Orangeburg when he is at home. To keep him in a good humor, don ' t rub his head when ho gets promoted.
