WILLIAM ROBERTSON CONNELLY, Chester. bear a charmed life. Corporal, First Sergeant, Captain. Textile Industry; Art Department, Taps, 1911; Class Football, 4; Scrub Football, 3; Varsity Foot- ball, 2, I; Varsity Baseball, 3, 2; Captain Baseball Team, I; Senior Textile Science Club; Senior Dancing Club; Cotillion Club; X Club. Vgain has Clemson polished the raw product of Chester into the finished athlete and the brazen fascinator of femininity. But Bill is a live wire all the time. Life seems to be an ever-present characteristic with him. As a side line, Bill has adopted the investigation of the mysteries of spinning and weaving, with special reference to these sciences as applied to the whims and frivolities of the weaker sex. He is a very useful person for a lady to have around : for Bill can tell, at a glance — or a sniff — whether a sample is real silk or guaranteed silk, whether the dye will run or merely take fright, etc. HERBERT PRESS COOPER, Ridgeway. Your face is as a bool(, where men may read strange mailers. Corporal, Sergeant, Lieutenant. Agriculture and Animal Industry; Vice-President Calhc Lite rary Society; Y. M. C. A.; Vice- President Junior Animal Industry Club; Senior Vet- erinary Science Club; Senior Dancing Club; Pen- dleton Guards. ( ooper, sometimes called Press by those who have the advantage of knowing his com- plete nomenclature, began his adventurous career near the sleepy village of Ridgeway. He came to Clemson for the sole purpose of studying agriculture, and so far he has not deviated from his purpose far enough to seriousl) overburden his mind with useless facts pertaining to veterinary science, lie has. however, discovered the Coffee test, and computed the number of revolutions per minute of a Babcock tester. It is a verj rare thing for him to l„- scored on l the professor of history and political economy. Like everj other Senior whose sketch has been read so far. he is a veritable Beau l ' .rummel with the ladies. 20

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

G. S. C, I. Here we have a Bear. Do not be alarmed, ladies: he will not hurt you; he is not a real bear, but merely a clever facsimile, lie is native to the cane-brakes ' round about Ware Slmals. S ( ' . ; but thick timber having become scarce, he made tracks for the Everglades. This Hear can do some funny tricks, such as playing soldier, running a spinning wheel, and making speeches. His favorite amusement is frightening the ladies by smiling at them. I heek is the secret of his success. We can not imagine a better pet for a lady. EMET IRWIN DAVIS, Troy. The world l(nows nothing of its greatest men. Sergeant, Captain. Mechanical and Electrical Engineering; Class Historian, 1 ; President Junior Electrical Science Club; President Senior Electrical Science Club; Senior Dancing Club; Cotillion Club; X Club, I ; Pendleton Guards. If the little village of Troy lays no other claim to distinction, it will go down in histor) as the birthplace of the gentleman whose like- ness appears herewith. E. I., after a checkered career on the farm, put in two years at Erskine College, where he learned to chew and smoke. Vague tidings of the wonderful things to be learned at Clemson stirred the sleeping tires of E. I. ' s mechanical talent, with the result that he transplanted his bud of genius to a new hot-bed of knowledge. Here he enjoyed the unique distinction of being a Sophomore rat. E. I. is one of the few men who are possessed of both mechanical ingenuity and common sense. 21
