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.

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. Froggv bids fair to become a tiller of the soil. Agriculture and Chemistry. Junior Dancing Club; Senior Dancing Club; Junior Chemistry Club; Senior Chemistry Club; Pendleton Guards. 28

Henry Stanley Johnson TIMMONSVILLE, S. C. I dare do all that becomes a man; who dares do more is none. Mary is one of those fellows who always looks at the worst side first. However, he is an unceasing worker, carries his point at any cost, and does his duty as he sees it. His chief fault is speaking the truth at the wrong moment. He often declares if there ever was a Jonah. he ' s the man. His character and high sense of honor has enabled him to go through school respected, if not admired by all. As for Mary ' s future — well. only a certain girl can tell, and we haven ' t seen her vet. Veterinary Science. Sergeant, Second Lieutenant.

So, like Abraham Lincoln, began his career of usefulness at an early age. He was known to experiment with electricity from his earliest childhood, and the ait has never left him as good and very good are often found on his experiments when they are returned by the professor. Some of these days, So will be an engineer of note, but the crowning event of his life was during the encampment at Columbia, where he found his affinity. He is now enjoying the sun- sliine of eternal bliss, and has rented a box at tin 1 post office to keep from imposing upon the cadet mail carriers. So is an ardent member of the F. M. C. A., and when he cat- chicken in barracks, he is always so polite that he never in- quires where the chicken came from. Electrical. Corporal, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Pendleton Guards.
