JOHN ROSSITER FIZER, Brxnchviixe. In words a dwarf; but in wisdom, a giant. Textile Industry: Columbian Literary Society; Art Department, Taps. 1911; Y. M. C. A.; Bible Class Leader, 1 ; Junior Textile Science Club; Senior Textile Science Club; SopSomoie Tenni? Club; Junior Tennis Club; Senior Private. Fizer, he of the indelible smile and the elusive dimple, has been chasing the bubble of wisdom with us ever since he appeared in our midst. He is extremely reticent in regard to his fortunes with the ladies, and when ques- tioned, merely indulges in a wise, slow smile. His two hobbies arc work and more work. Ross is an expert in the intricate art of photography; his talent in this direction has placed him in great demand, both as means of making his friends appear more handsome than they really are. and as a collector of artistic material for the beaut) department of Taps, 1911. BENJAMIN PERRY FOLK, Pomariv. Tis no sin for a man to labor ir his vocation. Sergeant, First Lieutenant. Agriculture and Animal Industry; Y. M. C. A.; Junior Animal Industry Club; Senior Vetennaiy Science Club; President Newberry County Club. 1; Pendleton Guards. A sort of boy, a little scrubbed boy, yon may say. But if Pomaria is the land of fruits. l!n Peep is the blossom of Pomaria. lb is a living exemplification of the old adagei Fine goods are put up in small packages. It is said that while Perry is at home, he is called a ladies ' man; we, however, have no reasons for assuming this to be true. His amusements are playing with Buster, and writing post cards. His studious efforts have placed him high among his classmates, and his gentle. modest manners have won for him the friend- ship of all who know him. He once took measures to reform Ilosea ' s mess hall manners, but was induced to give up the idea as being dangerous. 25

MARTIN HENRY EPPS, TimmonsvillE. icj) sal; that Sampson mas a mighty man, but loo}( at me. Corporal, First Serceant, Captain. Textile Industry; Columbian Literary Society; Local Editor The Tiger, 1; Y. M. C. A.; Varsity Track Team, 3; Assistant Manager, 2; Manager, 1; Class Football, 3; Scrub Football, 2; Varsity Football, I ; President Senior Textile Science Club, I; Senior Dancing Club; German Club; Pendle- ton Guards. Although Epps is a Virginian by birth, the Palmetto State should not hesitate in adopting a man of Humpit ' s qualifications. Both physically and mentally, he is eligible to be classified as a man. For amusement, he occa- sionally pulls up a few young oaks, or disturbs the equilibrium of a brick church. He has a habit of getting what he wants. When in search of a sponsor, he had the matron of Chicora College march the girls in review, secured a picture from the one he considered the best looking, and came back to Clemson chuckling. Humpit can feed on a sawmill without unpleasant results. GEORGE COCHRAN FANT, Anderson. Even though vanquished, he could argue still. Lieutenant. Chemistry and Geology; Class Secretary-Treas- urer, 1; Vice-President Calhoun Literary Society; Advertising Manager The Tiger, 1; Y. M. C. A.; President Anderson County Club, I ; President Lucky Thirteen, 1 ; Pendleton Guards. Whatever he does, or wherever he goes, his happy smile, his merry laugh, his manly voice, draw men unto him. From the earliest ac- counts that we have of this wonderful piece of human mechanism, we learn that he always detested study. ' ' Scrapping seems to have been, of all his innocent, youthful amusements, the favorite. Since coming to Clemson, Big Chief has become somewhat tamed, Win- ning His Shoulder-Bars, and A Trip to the :st, are important chapters in the biographj of our hero. George is fond of pretty flowers. pretty pictures, and pretty girls. It is his earnest desire to sec the walls of every room in barracks adorned with edifying works of art. 24

WILLIAM WALLACE FOSTER, Asbury. Theie is a pleasure in the painless moods. Textile Industry; Critic. Calhoun Literary So- ciety; Class Football, 3; Scrub Football, 2; Varsity Squad, 1 ; Junior Textile Science Club; Senior Tex- tile Science Club; Pendleton Guards; Senior Pri- vate. Asbury is a hard worker, he having been known to study fifteen pages of political economy without a murmur, even agreeing to give it in the words of Mr. Seager, if the professor insisted that he should. The world lost a great military autocrat when he resigned his commission as Assistant Section Marcher of the textile Freshmen. While not exactly a star on the gridiron. Asbury has more than once proved a snag in the way of some big varsity man. Throughout his course, he has been a consistent literary society worker, and his bald pate lends to his words of wisdom unusual weight. As critic of the Calhoun Literary Society, he encouraged the practice, on the part of the members, of replying to his criticisms. His only extravagance is in con- nection with his purchase of Herpicide. ROBERT WALLACE FREEMAN, Lvdia. Smooth runs the mater tvhere the brool( is deep. Agriculture; Distinguished Student, 2; Class Re- porter for The Tiger, 2; Acting Class Historian, 2; Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, President. Cal- houn Literary Society; Literary Editor, Taps, 1911; Editor-in-Chief The Tiger, I ; Y. M. C. A.; Vice- President Subsoilers, 2; Vice-President Senior Agri- cultural Science Club; Chief Bonehead, I ; President Billet-doux Authors, I ; The Bohemians. I ; Lucky Thirteen, I ; Senior Private. Wallace, it Bennie, the ever-merry lad, having acquired all the information that the Epworth High School could supply him with, abandoned that estimable institution, and had his name added to the roll of the Freshman Class of Clemson College in the fall of 1907, thereby adding luster to said class roll. Bennie has demonstrated his ability as an expert wild animal veterinarian, having rescued the poor old Tiger from an inglorious grave, But still the belle of Lydia, and the future bride of his choice, occasionally scores mildly on his paper. Wallace has made a great record as a bar- racks merchant. 26
