Freddie ' s early education was received at Winthrop. in the model school, and at the Catawba Military Academy. Realizing that he was called to ret higher things in life. Freddie came to Clemson. and again joined in the pursuit of knowledge. Dining his Freshman year, he failed to cultivate the acquaintance of the head of the mechanical department, consequently electricity has been a very complex study for him. His quiet, unobtrusive disposition and extremely good nature have won for him many friends. Freddie will follow his chosen profession, and eventually become a shining light in the electrical world.

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.

Mili- tary aspirants are glad that this lad connected himself with the hand, for he possesses all the traits that go to make a military genius. Vic is a recognized tennis player, hut he is better known in college by a peculiar Indian whoop that he sends forth when the adjutant reads an interesting notice. He works mathematics for a pastime, and some day he will teach this science at his Alma Mater, if he doesn ' t decide to survey tunnels through the Blue Ridge Mountains near his home.
