This bud of Renins (?) and flower of chivalry ( ! ) sprang into being in the pleasant hamlet of Rowesville, and grew up among the rosebuds of that flowery land. In the fall of 1907, he was transplanted to Clemson. to blossom forth, and waste his sweetness on the ' ' esert air. That is the way the poet puts it. His roommate, however, would say that he wastes his desert air on Sweetness. ' ' Fill him with oysters, stick a good cigar in his receiver, call the name of some pretty girl, and you have the jolliest Laddie in barracks, and a true Boone companion as well.

Our vocabulary does not contain words of sufficient variety and exactness to enable us to give a fitting description to this blue-eyed, fair-haired Saxon. It has been suggested that we allow the man to speak for himself. Toots has had that privilege ever since he has been at college, but has never yet availed himself of it. lie believes that actions speak louder than words, and acts accordingly. To test him upon this point, poke two fingers suddenlj into his ribs. Although he looks to be the perfect type of Mellin ' s Food boy. take him any way you please, Toots is a man. There is onl} one person who can handle him. and she dors it w ith her eyes. 18

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.

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

GEORGE TUCKER CASSELS, De Soto, Ga. could a tale unfold whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, Mafye thy two eyes, tilfe stars, start from their spheres. Agriculture and Animal Industry; Y. M. C. A.; Senior Dancing Club; Junior Animal Industry Club; Senior Veterinary Science Club; Class Football, 3; Junior Tennis Club; Senior Tennis Club; Lucky Thirteen; Senior Private. Tuck, the Suture Doctor of the Veteri- nary Hospital, won his degree by means of his brilliant recitations in veterinary science, his ceaseless attentions to Buster, and his ability to meet every possible exigency with a suitable explanatory theory. Tuck formerly hailed from Fairfield, but has since migrated to the fertile fields of south Georgia, where the natives have not yet learned all of the wonderful contents of his well-stocked brain. and where he is thought to be a man of wonderful attainments. He is being depended upon to revolutionize the agricultural and live stock interests of his adopted state. He may disappoint everybody by becoming a veteri- narian ALMO DEW1TT CHAPMAN, Liberty. am in charity with the world. Agriculture; Sergeant-at-Arms, Censor, Reporting Critic, Palmetto Literary Society; Y. M. C. A.; Sophomore, Junior and Senior Tennis Clubs; The Subsoilers, 2; Senior Agricultural Science Club; Senior Private. In this little piece of humanity, we find two sterling qualities — independence and an innate satisfaction with the correctness of his views. His most intimate pals never question his whims, for it is understood that he is to have In- own way. To the girl who submits to bis indomitable will, he will give the most affec- tionate attention. Almo, A. D., or (to those on the inside). Bill, hails from Liberty, and believes in freedom. Confinement behind the barred windows — of a bank — resulted in his being somewhat dwarfed in his later youth. He is. however, rather a heavy man with the ladies. Being a firm believer in his home town. and in the blissful state of matrimony, Almo has adopted for his motto, the immortal words of Webster. Liberty and union, now and forever ! 19
