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

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

HENRY FULMER, Batesburg. have within my mind a thousand raw trices. Sergeant. Agriculture and Animal Industry; Y. M. C. A.; Junior Animal Industry Club; Senior Veterina v Science Club; Pendleton Guards- Senior Private. Jose (pronounced Ho-say), alias Hosea. never allows his mental equilibrium to be dis- turbed, no matter what happens. If he ever aspired to military honors, he stifled that as- piration early in his college career, for the reason that he finds the berth of a private better suited to his ease-loving nature. Hosea ' s most prominent shortcoming is eating while the corps is at attention. He has always manifested a deep interest in all the sayings and doings of Sheriff. and takes it upon himself to see that no one shall speak ill of. ay unfriendly hand upon, that diminutive er of the law. With his good-natured near-grin and his jolly disposition, Hosea has attracted t ' i himself a host of friends. GROVER CLEVELAND FURTICK, Sandy Run. Eternal sunshine settles on his head. Color Sergeant, Sergeant-Major, Engineering; Class 3; Varsity Track Corforal, First Serce nt, QUARTERM STER-SerGEANT, Major. Mechanical and Electrical Football, 5; Varsity Football, Team, 3, 2, 1; College Record for Pole Vault, 3; Junior Electrical Science Club; Senior Electrical Science Club; President Calhoun County Club, I; Lucky Thirteen, I ; Pennant CluL, 1 . The crown of flame that surmounts this good-natured face shows the location of a rich deposit of common sense, beneath which, if one but goes deep enough, there lies buried a heart of gold. Fritz, as his record graph- ically shows, has been showered with military honors. By his ready smile, his modesty, and his kind heart, Fritz has won the love and ad- miration of every man in his class. He is a hard student: he is also a good companion t i take along on a camping trip, for his warm heart — and head — never allow the tent to be- come chilly 27
