John Livingstone Hill, Jr. ABBEVILLE, S. C. And they, I ween, are happiest who defy Sunshine or shadow, bright or cloudy sky John came to college to rest awhile before beginning business for himself He is bright enough and lucky enough to do as he pleases, and yet make excellent marks. Tho a lieutenant in a company, he has the most privileged office in school. While the dull fellows are poring over their books, John is out in society. He is always in a good humor, and ready for a good time. Matrimony was once John ' s chief object; but, since the middle of the year, he has been having visions of great construction work.

Froggy hopped from Clarendon county to Clemson in ' 06. lie received his early education at the various county schools, and one year at the Manning Graded school, lie has been for four years a faithful member of the chemistry section, greatly aiding that body to uphold its high marks. Why Froggj didn ' t make varsity football is more than we can explain; his stickability has never been doubted. Tis said he takes German so Professor Doggett will help him in feminine affairs.

Robert Pratt Henderson phoenix.. s. c. It does not pay to worry; Things are bound to happen anyway. ' Pratt is u great fellow in every way; he is over six feet tall. Tho he studies but little he makes good marks; and is alto- gether quite a prominent figure in the cowboy section. Pratt ' s main points are in military affairs and baseball. He can get a permit whenever he desires, if uot For baseball purposes, then for anything.

Victor Barton Higgins EASLEY, S. C. He ' s good iii mathema ties, ( an woi k most any sum; Fine in the ai i ol music, But a tune be cannot hum. Responds equally well to Vic or Victor Blue. 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.

Onan Augustus Hydrick NORTH. S. C. He is a man, beloved, respected. Beef sprang up at North, where he claims to have re- ceived an early education: however, he was not satisfied with his foundation, when he landed at Clemson, and proceed- ed to take a course in the pre]) class. He had so many talents, it was a hard matter to decide whether he wanted to he a great athlete, orator, or a leader in class-work. With a little persuasion, he soon decided on a place on the grid- iron, and took a course in Civil Engineering to pass away time. lie expects to he the leading engineer at Mull Swamp soon.

Claude Furman Inman WILKIXSVILLE, S. C. Few hearts like his with virtue warmed, Few heads with knowledge so informed. Doctor had this title bestowed upon him in his Junior year when he won a Ph. I), degree. Besides being one of the best disposed and most congenial of the hoys in college, lie has also been a leading man since his early days under English professors, where he won distinction in scholarship. Though a quiet youth, he cannot refrain from cracking jokes ji t Practical Agriculture, for it seems to revive old recollections. Once he startled the class by announcing that alcohol was the chief food of man. Being such a persistent man. as well as one of ability, we can but predict boundless success as a chemist.
