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

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

GEORGE DEAN GARNER, Eatonton, Ga. As good as a play. Corporal, Lieutenant. Textile Industry; Palmetto Literary Society; Advertising Manager Taps, 1911; Y. M. C. A.; Class Prophet, I ; Vice-President Senior Textile Science Club, 1; Honorary Member German Club; Weary Willies, ' 2; Moonshiners, 2, I ; Clemson Minstrels, I ; Pendleton Guards. Not beautiful — no; but of such striking originality that, when once known, he is never forgot. This is Dean. His college career has been one of many vicissitudes; yet bis opti- mistic smile and his cheerful greeting have never been known to fail. Though he has never been in serious danger of nervous breakdown from excessive study, his class standing has been well above the average. He is strictly a business man : the sweetest music that he knows is the clink of coin against coin, as he collects for the advertisements in Taps, 1911. Dean has seen enough of South Carolina to make him wisb to see more. WILLIAM CALVIN GARRETT. Pickens. Love is heaven, and heaven is love. Corporal, Sergeant, First Lieutenant. Textile Industry; Palmetto Literary Society; Y. M. C. A.; Bible Class Leader, 2, I; Track Team. 3, 2, 1 ; Junior Textile Science Club; Senior Textile Science Club; President Pickens County Club, I. Garrett is a Pickens product, and conse- quently feels more or less at home among the red bills of Oconee. In truth, it would not be far wrong to sav thai this dashing swain can make himself feel at home in almost any town in upper Carolina, for his is a true drummer ' s creed : one girl in everj town, but not two in any town. Mis career at Clemson has been marred by only one untimely circumstance — that of his confinement on Sling with me. isles During this dark hour, he wrote a farewell letter to his best, another to his second best, el cetera, and made out his will and the order of his funeral obsequies 28
