Here comes the inexpressible — the only Quaker in school. When moved by the spirit. however, Hutch is said to be very fond of playing — we shall let you guess what. On rare occasions he is said to have ideas of his own. The absence of conversational proclivities oh the part of the Dutch, and his habitual sphinx-like expression, are said to be in part traceable to his youthful diet of green per- simmons and wild cherries. He is said to have the lowest-geared pair of pedal extremities in the corps of cadets having been known to take ten steps forward without gaining any ground. MARCUS WILSON ARTHUR, Union. am sure care ' s an enemy lo life. Mechanical and Electrical Engineering; Y. M. C.

Wilson, that ' s all. Heboid, another great man is come from Union. True, Charlotte, . C, the city which is ever seeking the honor of being the scene of momentous events in history, lias put forward its claim as the city of his nativity; but to the people of Union belongs the credit — if there is any credit — of effecting, in part, the civilization of this raw product of the Old North State. His smiling, florid countenance bet kens a sunny disposi- tion, which to know is but to like. Wilson ' s ability to take things as they come is one of bis most noticeable characteristics. Having seen the range of Wilson ' s business ability, we have nothing to fear with reference to his future well-being 16

A.; Senior Textile Science Club; Clemson College Tennis Club, I; Senior Private. dreat of heart and lean of mind. has been said of this lad from Marion: but those of us who know him well think that he has an ample supply of both, his only lean character- istic being his phys But both heart and mind arc so taken up with automobiles, aeroplanes, tennis, and last, but not least, .uirls. that study has never been able to find a large enough space to cause him any serious in- convenience. It is hard to say just what will Income of him when he does succumb to the ravages of the study germ Most probably it will lead him to become noted as the man who weaves a pair of overalls complete with- out taking a stitch in them. Lee. or Straw- berry. has pursued a somewhat erratic college course, beginning as a special textile, and ending as a regular. The voluminous flow of language from his lips is really a manifesta- tion of the greatness of the man himself. FRED HUNTER ALL. Allendale.

Dudley, or Gus, having made up his mind onlj a tew minutes beforehand, hurriedly boarded the train at Union, and allowed him- self to lie put off at Clemson. Though a g 1 student. Dudley has pursued a somewhat erratic college course. He smokes his cigars, and moves nonchalantly along until examina- tions arrive: then his nervous temperament gains complete control over him. until he has passed them .ill successfully. Be what you really are. says this care-free, restless, im- pulsive youth, as he goes whistling and dream- ing his way through college. Having taken lessons under a Jew, Gus knows good clothes SO well that he will some day make a fortune in the gents ' furnishing business. Tn all probability he will spend the rest of his days in undisturbed and secluded bachelorhood HERMAN COLLINS BEATY, Georgetown. pray you, tarry; pause a day or trvo. Corporal.

C, 1 ; Pendleton Guards; Senior Private. Herman left the city on the Sampit in September, ] ( 07, to cast his die with the Class of 1911, and he has been casting his dice with this class ever since; for, although he has been several times absent from us in body, he has always been present in spirit. At the date of the present writing, Herman has not yet fol- lowed his annual habit of applying for in- definite leave of absence The literary depart- ment of The Chronicle has found Herman an invaluable contributor, although most of his choicest literary work leaves the college in the care of a two-cent stamp. His unbounded nerve assures for him a future of substantial success. 17
