_J-c J?rrtrj4 TAPS MCMXII VOLUME V PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS 2_ DEDICATION KNOWING that to Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman we are profoundly indebted for the conception of the great educational plan of our College; and that to his untiring energies is due in great part the present success of the institution; and feeling keenly a desire to show our appreciation of a life spent so unselfishly in the interest of our Alma Mater; to him we dedicate this record of our Academic, Athletic, and Social life. . ' . . ' . . . . ' . Ml3 Hon. B. R. Tillman BENJAMIN RYAN TILLMAN, industrial, educational and political reformer and Statesman, twice Governor of his native State, now serving his third term as a Senator of the United States, was born in Edgefield County (then District), South Carolina, August 11, 1847. The sub- ject of this short sketch was the youngest of eleven children and was but two years old when his father died. The father, whose name in full was given the baby boy, was, we read, a farmer, a man of bright mind and nervous tempera- ment and a great reader. The mother, Sophia Ann (Hancock) Tillman, was a woman of phenomenal strength, mentally, morally, physically and, in every way and for good, she impressed herself powerfully on her son. Often has Senator Tillman been heard to say that all that he is he attributes to his mother and to his wife. Ben Tillman ' s early life was passed in the country, on his mother ' s planta- tion, with eighty slaves. George Galphin, at Bethany Academy, gave him his schooling. The lad had the use of a good library, and read voraciously, espe- cially works of fiction and poetry. In July, 1864, he stopped school to join the Confederate Army, was stricken with a severe illness which caused the loss of his left eye and kept him an invalid for two years. For wellnigh twenty years he was a farmer in his native county. He took an active part in the stirring days of Reconstruction, and has published some valuable reminiscenses of the disturbances at Hamburg and Ellerton of the times of negro ascendency, when was endangered the civilization of the Cavalier and the Puritan. The immediate success of Clemson College (which opened its doors in July, 1893), far beyond the wildest dreams of its founders, induced Governor Tillman during his administration to recommend and secure the establishment of a similar school for girls and young women at the Winthrop Normal and Industrial College of South Carolina. Fort Hill! Rock Hill! What short, suggestive names! Ele- vation! Strength! Everlastingness ! Would you see Benjamin Ryan Tillman ' s monument? Look around the walls of Winthrop and Clemson. Better still, consider the lives of thousands and thou- sands of our girls and our boys, our young women and our young men; and their ever-widening and enriching influences on things material and mental and moral and spiritual of our commonwealth. In the fall of 1893, when Clemson was but a few weeks old, Governor Tillman heard a Clemson student — a poor boy from near the seacoast — deliver, at a liter- ary society celebration in the Chapel, a speech on Education and Progress. Pro- nouncing it the finest college boy ' s speech that he had ever listened to, the Governor quietly handed the College Treasurer ten dollars, with the request that he place it to the credit of the boy ' s account and say nothing about it to anyone. When asked what advice he would give young Americans, Senator Tillman answered: Be in earnest; be willing to work and to stick to it; to learn to speak the truth and practice no guile; to deal honestly with all men, and to live soberly and simply. ■ S _ ' ; l i - ' ■ - ■ i ■ d - -. ■ Pt os.ser — f(£WZ Contents Dedication ........ 6 Taps Board 12 Board of Trustees 17 The Faculty 18 The Alumni Association 27 The Seniors 28 The Juniors 98 The Sophomores 106 The Freshmen 110 The Preps 114 Brickbats 117 Shortie at the Play 119 Military 121 Sunday at Clemson 162 The Saturday Evening Post 165 Athletics .... 169 Publication Staffs 195 The Tiger 197 Literary Societies 203 Exam Questions 210 Y.

' 10- ' 11. Harry has been one of the Cla-.s of ' 12 since the fall of 1908. Some say he is a hard student, but. pecu- liar to say. he has never been known to study later than 8:30 o ' clock. His favorite pastime is letter writing. and he has gained a marked proficiency in this partic- ular line. Letters to the right of him and cards to the left of him is the way in which you usually find him. He prefers to have his name on the sick list rather than to attend drill, especially if it be a very hot or a very cold day. In view of his extensive studies in the textile arts, he will invent a machine whereby the superintendent may start a cotton mill from his bedside at six o ' clock and remain in bed until eight o ' clock.

Where did Doc ' or Dutch ' come from. 1 The Hill of Rocks undoubtedly! His fine physique, accom- panied by a sound mind and commanding figure have made him the conspicuous Captain of the Picked Company. Seldom is there such a character at Clemson as Tom. who came here about the middle of the present century. I ' ntil his Junior year, he was a dili- gent student and devoted all of his time to his studies, but during his Senior year he contracted a severe case of effemim ' tis. and his studies have suffered accord- ingly. Doc is an all-round good fellow, and is liked by all who know him. May we have more like him. Doc will invent a process of making -ilk from cotton and will be heralded as a benef actor by the women of the world.

Pip, Joe. or Baby Face are all exceeding descriptive of this youth who has lumbered along through college, changing from a cute, tender rat to a star fullback on the Varsity.

This youth is a good illustration of the fact that a very large man can be put in a very small suit of clothes. While five feet is a very liberal estimate of Runt ' s longest dimension, he has the mental and moral ability of a much larger man. Hunt arrived at Clemson some four years ago. via Porter ' s and Georgia Tech. Since that time he lias been in hot pursuit of the civil and metallurgical courses, with good pros- pects of overtaking both of them.

Because he has acquitted himself like a man, he has made many true friends, both among the students and the faculty, being the special pet of the Professor of History and Economics. That he will be successful in life can be safely predicted, and his greatest achievement will be the erection of the first million-dollar cotton mill in Conway. Be courageous! Strive with manly power against sickly fantasies, and enter, as I do, hopefully into active life. 46 William Roy Grai Gray ( ' ourt, S. C.

Varsity is essentially an athletie man, for he has always done his best to put Clemson to the front in all athletics, especially in football and track. Many are the tired nights that he has spent after an after- noon of training. In military lines he has risen no higher than an instructor of rats in the mystic art of drilling. But we believe that this has been his mis- fortune and not his fault, as he and the commandant are very chummy, except when he is serving confine- ments for Bone ' s yelling.

Dumpy, better known to his classmates as 64, is always more than anxious to introduce to the rats his dear friend, Nancy Hanks. Although 64 is one of the smallest men in the Class, his voice is neither small nor weak, and almost any time he can be heard endeavoring to create the impression that he is as great in authority and mind as he is small in stature. Dumpy, with the assistance of a well known member of the Senior Class, cornered the market in bananas, peanuts and crackers. I ' nder the salesmanship of Dumpy and the management of his silent partner, the business was soon in a thriving condition. Bankruptcy resulted from the interference of a well known figure on the campus. As a merchant prince or a veterinarian, 64 will shine as a candle under a bushel.

His adherence to principle is far above the average. His power of keeping the rats in the straight and narrow way is almost superhuman in its efficiency.

He always takes an active part in athletics, and for the pasl year he has been one of the stars on the Varsity football team. In the turkey- trot and the grizzly bear stunt he is at his best.

As a peddler of pen- nants and other college paraphernalia and as a inger of ballads he has been a pronounced success.

Jason, ;i his most intimate friends know him, is very much addicted to the habit of sleeping through reveille. Should you be so bold as to wake him for reveille, he would respond in a drowsy tone: Con- finements be darned! Let me sleep. Consequently, he spends most of his time serving confinements. His love affairs also consume a large part of his time hut. wonderful to say, he has been engaged only once, ami from the great number of letters that he received at that time it is evident that this event caused great consternation among his friends. His first step toward military fame was his appointment as a Sergeant; but, alas, his hopes were blighted when he failed to be appointed as a Lieutenant. Therefore, the envious gazes that he bestows on the shoulder bars of some of his classmates are not to be wondered at. His jovial good nature is sure to win him a large place in life.

Formerly, this Course embraced also the special lines now given in Courses II and III. The students taking this Course receive special training in Agriculture, Horticulture, Botany, Bacteriology and Entomology. After graduation, they are particularly well prepared t take post-graduate work of various kinds, and also to take positions with the United State- Department of Agriculture, or with State Ex periment Station-. More students are enrolled in this than in either of the other two Courses in Agricul- ture. The Straights , a- these students are called, are often jokingly -aid to be pursuing the line of least resistance. However, here are some of the studies which they have: Mathematics, English, History, I rge Work. Wood Work. Mechanical and Free Hand Drawing, Bookkeeping, Botany, Agriculture, Chem- istry, Physics, Zoology, Horticulture. Dairying, Veterinary Science, Fore-try. Political Economy, Animal Husbandry, Geology, Bacteriology, Military Science and Entomology.

This Course is intended to equip the student for engaging in manufacturing operations involving Metallurgy or other branches of inorganic Chemistry, or for employment as assayer or chemist in connection with mining operations. It also furnishes the basis upon which In- may readily specialize in mining or geology, with a view to conducting actual mining enter- prises or to employment in responsible positions in National Surveys. Some graduates in this Course are making good as mining engineers, while others are filling professors ' chairs. The student is well grounded in the principles of Chemistry. Physics, Mechan- ics, Geology and Mineralogy, hut the principal stress is laid on Geology and Metal- lurgical Chemistry. He also acquires a valuable practical knowledge of Survey- ing, Mechanical Engineering, Foundry Practice. Drawing and Designing, in addi- tion to the pursuit of courses in English, History. Political Economy and other subjects of general educational value. Besides tin- academic professors, the followers t this Course receive instruc- tion from Drs. I II. II. Calhoun and H. .

Bedell In Terms of Calhoun There are rivers of all lengths and sizes and of all degrees of wetness. Then- are rivers that dabble in real estate and rivers that play hide-and--eek with yon today, and tomorrow follow yon around like a pet dog with dynamite tied to its tail. Some rivers are perpetually dissatisfied with their beds, and L r et up in the middle of the night and seek a new bed. all littered with forests, cornfields, briek houses, railroad ties and telegraph poles. Quite naturally, life along such river- has in it an element of uncertainty; for yon may go home and find a government steamboat pulling up snags out of your erstwhile cabbage patch. In farming, you never know whether yon are going to harvest corn or catfish. The appetite of such rivers is magnanimous and cosmopolitan boat-, levees, railroad track-. barns and villages being equally relished by it. These river- often crack in going around their bends — they are so muddy. By taking the course in Geology you can, by a few simple facts learned in this Course, make such river-, no matter how obstinate, obey your will. Without Geology you are powerless 1912 CO V- MfC H ANITA L A:- ELEtTRKM ENGINEERING Course V Who enters here leans all hope behind. Since Electrical Engineering i founded upon the laws and principles of Me- chanical Engineering, the Engineering Faculty have deemed it wise to combine the two Courses. The students who have graduated from College in this Course are filling responsible positions in both Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. The purpose of this Course i not to turn out skilled artisans, t nt to train those faculties of mind which can he reached hut through work of the hand. The field of Mec hanical Engine ring seems now to he opening up greater chanc s of pn m - tion than those of Electrical Engineering, due perhaps to the fact that the former i- vet in it- infancy. ' Idie underlying principles of Engineering are based upon Mathematics and. therefore, this subject i- stressed throughout the Course, and embraces (lie following studies: Algebra, Geometry Plane and Solid . Descrip- tive Geometry, Trigonometry, Analytic-. Calculus, Mechanic-. Electrical Engi- neering and Mechanical Engineering. Besides these subjects of Mathematics, they have a complete Course in English, History, Political Economy, Geolog} and Military Science.

For it i- in Mathematics thai those of this Course revel the chief feature of the Course being Math. Koth pure and applied. To these also the word Construction is vital, for they delight in their studies  f location. construction, mapping and maintaining roads, railroads, streets, etc. Among their interesting problems, they study strength of materials, masonry construction, foundations on land and in water, analytic and graphic investigations of stresses in girders, roof- and bridges, and the design of these structures, the principle- of hydraulics as applied to dam-, canal-, reservoirs, municipal waterworks and the development of water power. For their training in those subjects they depend upon Field Practice, Mechanical and Free Hand Drawing, Machine Design, Ar- chitectural Drawing, Pattern Making, Forge, Foundry, Machine Shop, Mechanical Laboratory, Physics, Geology, Steam and Gas Engine Theory, Descriptive Geome- try, Trigonometry, Analytic-.

It permit- teth him to loaf at the drug stores and sandwich counters, where he imbibeth slops and hookworms. When he reacheth College, he attaineth a uniform, which he turneth up at the bottom two furlongs above the feet. lie displayeth a pair of noisy sox, with purple and gold background and violets to the front. Yea. the ill-kept ankles are an abomination. He de- lighteth in wearing a non-regulation collar, about which he entwineth ;i fie of greenest hue. The inside of his head resembleth the inside of a pumpkin. He falleth in love with a giggling, gum-chewing girl, with pink ribbons in her hair. He sitteth up late at night to write poetry about her and giveth no thought to Trig. He craveth for an automo- bile, that he might ride her forth in the springtime. His mind turn- eth to the vanities of life and not to the high cost of corn bread. He thinketh his Father a plodder and his Mother a hack number. He scattereth her pin money as a cyclone scattereth a rail fence. He pictureth to himself great riches suddenly acquired. Verily, verily, he needeth a board applied vigorously to the southwest corner of his Anatomy. 109 V FRESH Class Officers S. ( ' . Webb •I. Peeples J. K. Logan W. II. Fincb .1. K.

He belongs to that class of animals known as the Rodents, and may be recognized by his ratlike appearance and habits. In color, the Freshman is green. The head, resembling the pump- kin in size and content, is composed largely of skull. Because of this fact, scientists class him among the boneheads. The animal ' s brain partakes of the verdure of his body, and is almost the size of that of a parrot, although in extreme cases it has been known to be as large as that of the monkey. Upon examination, it is found that his green matter contains no convolutions of wisdom whatever. A long protuberance, called a neck, supports his head. Upon each side of this neck, we find a gawky arm. having the motion similar to that of a Dutch windmill. His body and legs look like a barrel of beer on a pair of stilts, while his pedal extremities have the shape and size of gunboats. In September of each year, the Freshmen migrate in vast hordes from their native haunts to Clemson College. Here they are taught the intricate arts of describing semicircles, barking at the moon, being turned without being killed, buying electricity by the gallon, and many other branches of Science, until at last they attain suffi- cient knowledge to enable them to pass from the state of emerald rawness to that of Foolish Wisdom. 11:5 m2 •AF 1912 PRERf Preparatory Roll Barnett, P.

C. in TAPS The Preps URING the week of September 12th-19th, inclusive, a very Urge addition was made to The Royal Family of Clemson. There were broughl to t lie royal castle eighty fine healthy princes. Queen Wells and ' King Sease were very proud of their lusty children. True to the instinct of children, they were very sleepy, and even King ' s sonorous voice did not suffice to keep them from visiting the land of dreams in the classroom. Those who were not sleeping were amusing themselves by making Queen dodge erasers and chalk. The Preps received their first lesson in political speech-making from their private tutors, the Sophs, on Wednesday night. It is remarkable how soon they learned to mount the table and address the Sophs. Thursday was the day for the Preps ' first Geometry lesson. They were taught to describe a semicircle on a plane as a solid. They soon decided that a ninety-degree angle is much more comfortable than a thirty. The Royal Children were well trained in Military Science. It was a source of grievous complaint that the shot -guns were choke-bored. Their greatest ambition as cadets was to be Corporals; several of their number wrote very strong pleas for such appointments. The Preps compose the largest section in College. The entire Prep Class takes as its fortress and stronghold the Textile Building: therefore, in their simple minds, they are all Textile Students. It is the sincerest wish of all that at the end of another year they will have imbibed enough of the wisdom of their wise parents King and Queen —to fit them for the arduous job of governing their successors. 11.5 ( MI ' l s s( I Nl s t) 1912 — TAPS - 1912 BRICKBATS pi?  nffF(Jiec? — ' 5 A f ' „ P „ is the once famous Misery - gone forever ciemsonspm..

' twas gala night Within these lonesome latter years; The (Mass of ' 12 amazed, affright, Sat in a theatre to see A play of hopes and fears. And we. the (Mass of ' 12, looked, and lo. there was a vast throng of formless things Hit tin about the stage like shadowy dreams of the past. At length these vanished and. in their stead, arose a giant, whose very rudeness and overhearing rilled us with awe. He held in his hand a huge scroll, and when he spoke in his thundering tones we knew that it was none other than the grim monster Mili- tary. who had crushed us and bruised ns for wellnigh four long years. Our hearts sank within us as he paused, then began: Young men. it becomes my painful duty to read the contents of this scroll and. in the fear of my Maker. I dare not flinch when duty calls. During the four short years of your life at (Mem- son you have accumulated and again I kiss the Holy Hook — one hundred thirteen thousand, five hundred fifty-J ' our demerits; served one million seven hundred and twenty- tiro thousand five hundred ninety confinements — seventy-seven and one half years. and squandered nine hundred fifty-nine golden hours. Von have spent eight thousand 119 til hours in the Hospital, where you consumed seven hundred thousand Pills. He disap- peared ere he had Bcareely finished the gigantic statement, and we were left to look .-it each oi her in bewilderment . -.iin the writhing, formless things appeared, but as the nervous movements dragged on, their bodies assumed the shape of -I K-t-p. swine, fowls, etc. They commenced tramping over lli ' stage, which was strewn with groaning grist, flour. beans, potatoes and other eatables. The scene changed and we beheld a herd of cattle, seven thousand fifty-six strong, coming down from the mountain. - their forms drew nearer, their lowing and tramping became distinctly audible. Coming on, they entered the stage with all their vasl hosts already assembled, and all of one accord made obeisance to a giant monster who bolted out in front of us. This giant also held in his hand a scroll, from which he read: Upon sworn oath do I hereby charge you Class of ' 12 with the blood of all these living things 1 have shown you. You alone are guilty; it i- you who have con- sumed these things: One hundred tons of lard; one hundred fifty barrels of sugar; thirtij thousand pounds of chicken ; forty-five thousand pounds of turkey; tiro thousand fire hundred dozen gallons of peaches; tiro thousand five hundred dozen gallons of pears; fifty-seven thousand dozen gallons of tomatoes; fifty-seven thousand dozen hunches of bananas; twenty-five thousand pounds of raisins; fire thousand sacks of rice; fire thousand hoi s; twenty-five thousand sheep; ten thousand bushels of beans; eleven thousand eight barrels of flour; tiro thousand si.r hundred pounds mince-meat; tiro thousand pounds of prunes; tiro thousand five hundred sucks of grist; three million bushels of street potatoes; tiro hundred forty thousand Jin hundred bushels of I risli potatoes; fifty thousand pounds of hams; five hundred forty thousand gallons of syrup; seven thousand fifty-six head of cattle; nine hundred seven thousand tiro hundred gallons of milk, and nine thousand four hundred gallons of coffee. ' ' When he finished, a weird shriek came from the throats of the animals assem- bled on the stage. We almost started from our seats in terror, hut were held down by some unknown power. Then the animals began leaving the stage, one by one. When the last one had disappeared, the great giant came forward and broke the uncomfortable silence with this challenge: And now. Class ' 12, I dare you challenge the truth of my statements. My number- are based upon figures taken from the book of the Steward. Are you guilty r not guilty? I hold your future destiny in my hands.

A College Museum During the past year a large collection of assorted material has been accumulated in the quartermaster ' s department. Thi- collection js comprised of oil stoves electric irons, cooking uiciisils. cards, dice, pistols, knives, forks, spoons, watches, fist knucks, firebrands, bottles, old shoes, etc. The disposal of iliis material is a stupendous task, requiring much time and expenditure f thought and money. We think that a good way to dispose of this material would he to tit up a museum with it calling this museum A Collection of Illegitimates, Collected at Clemson College During the Ses- sion of 1911- ' 12. A small admission fee might l e charged bj the keepers of the relic room to cover the large expense and fatigue necessarily involved in making this collection.

The College authorities are conducting a series of tests ;is to what foods go to make a balanced, nutritive ration most eco nomically. Several very remarkable results have been attained; chief among them was the disproval of the old proverb that man can- not live upon bread alone they have proved be- yond a shadow of a doiilit 1 1 1 : ■ t this is possible. The method of procedure w i to feed bread and in small quantities, the other food in such a condition that no one could eat it They found that tin- students ate the bread ravenously and with relish, leaving tlie other things alone. ' lose observation was kept during the experiments, and thej found that the boys as a whole grew fat and kept in good condition. We heartily commend the attitude of the boys during these experiments; thev looked upon it from the scientific viewpoint, and were ready to offer themselves as a living sacrifice, and die as martyrs to a scientific cause. A Beautiful Campus We have a Campus beautiful by nature, hut it can be easily improved. Dame Nature has done a ood job, hut Doe Lewis is beating the Old Lady at her own game. We, however, stand in awe at the huge undertaking of moving si much (hit from one spot .in I putting it on another, then moving it link again. This gives the convicts something to do, and we believe that thev should he kept busy all (he time. The method of leaving parts of the Campus all torn up for a long perioil probably seems peculiar at first to those who haven ' i given the matter deep thought. We have III ide thorough inv esti- mations into this matter and hive arrived at the conclusion that it is done for its psychological effect. An old eyesore suddenly beautified appears very beautiful indeed the contrast being so great. This fait is employed in tin- land- scape gardening and Campus engineering prac- ticed on our Campus. Favorable comment has been heard from all sides, and we agree with those whose artistic sense has been so highly developed that the improvement is -truly great. A Deep Subject The recent announcement that a Course in the study of negro life was open to a limited UUmber of students created a ureal hullahalloo and came near causing a riot. While there was some cause for such action, we must condemn the students for acting in such a boisterous manner while applying for membership to the classes The introduction of this subject created a great deal of discussion on the Hill however. the majoritv seem to he in favor of studying the subject. We are greatly in favor of it our- selves, but must admit that it his its dark ' sides. II, I, THE SATVRTiAy EVEJVIJVG TOST WHO ' S WHO—AJVT) WHy The Stranger When the students first returned i« Clemson in the fall of 1911, they ooticed a tall, erect, good-looking stranger walking aboul tlie campus. This stranger ' s Napoleonic air and stern expression rather awed one at first. They could not place bun among the old college authorities. Some said that he was the new sergeant who was to take care of the guns and the college property. ' hut such a good-looking man would scarcely take a job of that kind. Who is that duck, any- how? the question soon arose. Why. he is Sam Duck- ett. was the forthcoming reply. Well, who in the diek- ens is Sam Duckett? Sam Duckett ! You never heard of Sam Duckett. the great football player of the Citadel! ' Man. wake up! Well, what is he doing up here? Oh. he is the new Assistant Commandant. (ice. don ' t you know that this place will be military this year. We sure had better brace up if we want to stay out of confinements! Thus Cap ' t Duckett made his debut at Clem- son Since then, all the hoys have come to the conclusion that all his stern looks were largely bluff, and that he doesn ' t mean anything serious. However, if you sec him coming, you had better throw down your cigarette at once. lie says that Mils Owens is the only one that he can ' t catch, as Bus has a. peculiar trick of hiding it. ( ' apt Duckett doesn ' t believe, of course, that anyone should smok — except himself. His Career in College Work When he first entered college, he had in view a military career. That is why he selected the Citadel. He lived up to his ideals at college by graduating as first ranking captain. After graduation, he looked around for a place in which to further his military propensities. On account of the foolish laws of the United States he could get nothing better than a Second Lieutenant in the regular army, and as that Seemed rather a come-down for him. he decided to teach school for a year and. in the meantime, look around for a suitable military position. Finally, he decided to come to Clemson. since he would have a large body of men under his command there. Serious and Frivolous Facts about the Great and the Near- Great Al ' iir arriving at ( ' lem- - mi. he si ion let it be know n that he was an authority on all military matters. The boys Boon found out that they could not fool him mi any of the regulations. Every day he brought up sonic new wrinkle in mili- tary lines to the members of the guard. Cap ' t Duckett first at- tained fame for himself when he broke up an old established custom of the guard room the assumed privilege of the Officer of the Guard ' s going to t lii- storc during study hours in order to inspect for cadets off limits. Mr. Folk, where have you been? ' ' To the store, sir , was the reply. Don ' t you know better than thaC- ' ' That is my privilege, sir. Well, you had better consider yourself under ar- rest. Report to classes immediately! was the grim reply. It has been suspected that the real reason for such action was the fact that the 0. G. failed to take the Assistant Commandant to the store with him. Everybody wondered what would happen next. The above suspicion was knocked in the head when it became known that he had burnt the O. O. for smoking in the guard room. The O. G. was s king a cigar, and every one knows that the Captain smokes only pipe and cigarette. However, it was not wounded feelings, arising from the fact that the (). (i. failed to offer him the brother to the cheroot, that caused (his untimely act. After this, the students came to the conclusion that he really meant business, and they all govern themselves accordingly. However, during the Fair Trip. Cap ' t Duckett changed his ways, and we came to the conclusion that he was a good fellow after all. During tin- Fair the Captain showed us all how to have a really good time and we still believe that it was at the Fair that he began knocking down ' reports. Isn ' t the Major General of the Clemson Corps just a darling! ' ' a girl was heard to remark on the streets of Columbia. Who do you mean. ' ' ' was the reply. Mr. Duckett. of course: 0, — Oh! was the only reply. 161 ATHLETICS FRANK M DOBSON. Director ! !! W 2 — TAPS - 1912 (| Clemson College Athletic Association w M RlGGS ' . id a!

Henry ' s only thoughl was his Team ' s comfort. He was always on the job, kepi the Team well equipped and savi to their every need. Bissell Captain, Quarterback Captain Bissell finishes a brilliant football career, alter playing as consistent a game through three years a- one could ask. He possessed every accessary qualifi- cation as a Captain and a player. Hi- return of punt-- in every game was phenom- enal, and no team we met could boast of SO elexcr an open field runner. On defen- sive lie was a star, being a fierce tackier and a good judge of plays. As Captain, he commanded the respect of all his fellow players, was a good leader and set an example of the highest possible standard. His loss will he a severe one. Britt Right Tackle, Captain-Elect Hen looms up as our best all-round performer in the line. During the pasl two year his advancement in tackle play has been brilliant. Next year will be his Inst and. no doubt, he will continue to excel in the position. At carrying the ball from tackle he was seldom denied the required distance, and his work on defense was a feature of many games. As Captain, we predict he will make a good leader. Maths —Fullback Joe ' s last year was full of promise. The end of a remarkable career as a wonderful Fullback was brought to an abrupt close by his disqualification jusl before the all-important game — Clemson vs. Carolina. Joe ' s football reputation consisted of punting, forward passing and running the line plunging, together with fine defensive work. That alone shows what a severe loss the Team suffer. -d. Webb — Fullback In Claire. Clemson can boast of its most valuable Freshman in years. He assumed the responsibility of the position left vacant by Hates ' disqualification, and his play would do credit to a veteran. He gained a vast amount of mound through tin line and arou nd ends, and his forward pass was fast and accurate. A brilliant career awaits him. James — Halfback Jimmy ' played his first year of varsity football and lacks only experience to make a fine Hack. He was in a majority of the games, and on almost everyoc- casion played a great offensive game. Next year should be a banner year for him. Kangeter — Halfback Johnny played up to his former standard on all occasions. He continued his fine defensive work of last year, was a clever interferer and gained considerable ground on his line plunges. He will be of great value next year, since his experi- ence makes him one of the few seasoned veterans in the squad. Coles — Halfback Pony once more used what few pounds he possesses to great advantag Hewas oneof the fastest Hacks in the squad and added many yards for his Team by fleetness of foot. His defensive work was remarkable for a man of so little weight. Haydex- (enter Hayden. although a Senior, played his first varsity ball. His rapid improve- ment in mastering the center position was one of the season ' s features. At fol- lowing the ball he was a marvel, and on several occasions he was down under punts with the neds. He will be missed very much. 17:i I ' i kici T. Right ( ii(ird Tom ' s initial season was an exceptionally good one. He developed into a consistent lineman, with an abundance i ' spirit. This year ' s experience will make him a mosl dependable Guard next season. His defense was good, often breaking up plays before they were started. Sc btlletteb Left Guard Shorty made his first varsity appearance and probably showed more im- provement for the season than any other member f tin squad. For hi- weight he was remarkably fast, was always found in every line play and worked hard and willingly all season. lie has three more years to play. (i win Left Tackle Hop improved with the season ' s advance, and at its close he had developed into a splendid Tackle. Being always willing and a fine ground-gainer, this, together with his powerful defense made him a mosl valuable lineman. Lewis Right End Alex was the squad ' s lightweight hut when thai is said, you have men- tioned every football fault he possesses. He was the most alert, was fast, a good tackier and the best forward pass receiver of the year. He has a brilliant career before him. Perry Right End Bill Perry ' s end play was great. He possessed enough weight to hinder any kind of interference, was in every play, and could advance the ball with lots of power. Not once was he drawn in. using excellent judgment on all occasions, which is a most valuable qualification for end playing. Grai Lefi End Bill ' s work was of the stone-wall variety on defense. He broke up plays, checked interference and tackled hard and sure. He would be at his best next year, hut graduation will rob him of a longer career. Carson Sub-Lineman Doc served hi second year as varsity lineman and played hi usual good game. He w;i- unable to do himself justice until the latter part of the year, being troubled with numerous minor injuries. Next year he will prove a mosl valuable man at ( enter, having had a great deai of experience. M 1:1.1.1.1 i Sub-Lineman Prank ' s firsl varsity experience consisted of some very clever work subbing for both Tackles. He was very fast at running with the ball from tackle, and hi improvement was rapid. He should enjoy a good season in 1912. Bell Sub-Guard M worked hard and willingly and. when aroused sufficiently, played a strong defensive game. This is his la t year though his firsl on varsity. His case was one of many, where a man waits until hi Senior year to try for the Team. Had Bell started earlier, he would doubtless have been among Clemson ' s leading linemen. V { i Sub-End Tackle Paris lacked experience, hut possessed a wonderful amount of energy, which should stand him in good Stead next year. He was a tierce tackier and a good ground-gainer. ( ' i .n i w Sub-Back Kenny would have enjoyed a much finer season had it not been his mis- Fortune to gel a hail Charley Horse early in the season, which stayed with him and kepi him from doing himself justice. He runs strongly, tackles hard and is fast. 171 12 1812 - TAPS - 1912 fj Sketch of the 1911 Season One more football season is over, and we feel thai we can say well done to  ur comrades, who have been on the f i « - 1 I fighting to uphold Clemson ' s athletic record. The} suffered some defeats, but the fighting spirit was there until 1 1 ■ « - last. it alone do the players deserve praise for we can see Athletics rising to a higher plane through t be direction f ( !oach I fobson, to whom w e arc indebted for the follow- in- sketch of t In- season : Clemson ' s football con- dition remained a bo u t 1 1 1 e s a iii e a s t li ■ standard sel by the 1! 1 ) Team. The schedule also was about the same, m far as the construc- t ion w as concerned. Still, there was a marked improvement in every one of our opponents. The mosl Dotable fad about the Team was its inexperience. Of the nineteen men in the varsity squad, fourteen played their first year on the varsity. While tlii makes ;1 fair nucleus for next year, still, of that number of new men. four were Seniors and will graduate in June, while only three were Freshmen. However, the material returning next fall will have had for the most part a fair amount of experience. From the class teams it will be necessary to find something above the average to fill such positions as those left by Captain Bissell, Bates. Hayden, Gray and Hill Perry. It is too early to make any predictions re- garding possible m a t e r i a 1 fro in (lass elevens, but such men as Methuue. Martin and Loga n a re sure to be of some value next year. |{ e V i c w ing I he sea- son, game by game, we see an apparent rise and fall in the Team ' s performance. The first game with the big, experienced Auburn Team as was expected, was an overwhelming victory for our Alabama rivals. The final score was Clemson . Alabama 29. The following week. Howard met defeat in a rough, poorly played game, featured by our superior defense and occasional spurts of good, offensive football; Clemson 15, Howard 0. Florida, our newly acquired I7« 1 friend, took us by surprise; winning by a score of six to five in a game all ( llemson ' s until the last few minutes. All the week following the Florida game, hard work was the order of prepara- tion for Carolina; and how well we prepared can he judged better by the score than through any other source Clemson 27, Carolina 0. Two days later we met the Citadel eleven and, after a stubborn fight, defeated them by a comfortable score of is to 0. Five days later, at Au- gusta, the Georgia Team de- feated ns on a wet. slippery field, which condition, to- gether with their abundance of weight, aided them materi- ally in running up a large score of 25 to 0. If ever a team was fortunate. Mercer was, in the game at Columbus, Ga. They outweighed us fifteen pounds per man, hut this advantage hardly offset our speed, since they had very little. Nine of their points were scored by goals from placement and one touchdown from an official ' s error. The other being the result of a fine hit of running by a Mercer back. We carried the hall from our own sixteen yard line and scored without losing possession of it during that long march down the field. Next fall we hope to increase the score, which was Clemson 6, Mercer 20. Once more — though sad to relate — we are forced to chronicle our fourth consecutive defeat in Atlanta. It looked as though Dame Fortune were going to smile upon us this time when the first quarter ended with a score — 0. And still the end of our first half caused much rejoicing among our followers, for Tech had only added a safety and touchdown for a total of eight points. lint, in the second half, that powerful and well coached Yellow •Jacket machine got under way. and before long had run the total score up to thirty-two. Never did a Clemson Team fight harder. The odds in weight were too much; then, again — and above all — Tech had experience and an abundance of well executed plays. It is not necessary to say more, though — as is the usual custom- we (night add, Wait till next year. COAGH 177 r - =: 7 D O a ai c 2 o 5 I Scrub Football Team, 1911-12 E. T. l ' l{  M9 i M . S.

' Doc K .ell and Lachicotte stood the brunl of the work, hut they were ably assisted by Schroder: the trio making an ideal corps of college twirlers. Their benders and fast ones were received by Hates and Jenkins, both of whom acquitted themselves well. The infield was a stone wall on defense and an active quartette at the bat and on the bases. Thomas. Harris. Tupper and McCown were the regu- lars. Coles and Hiers serving in the utility role. To the outfield much credit must be given for their accuracy and speed in hand- ling flies and long hits, coupled with the ability to hit opportunely. Cochrane, Rivers and Captain Connelly took care of this department, with Schroder acting as sub-outfielder. No dispute could arise regarding the Tigers ' claim for State honors. Every opponent was defeated, and only one game was lost — to Wofiord — though two of a series of three games were won by Clemson. Though seven of this squad will not be found on the 1912 Team, still we are going to work to make this year a repetition of the 1911 season. 183 DOBSON. Coach H. F. RIVKRS. Captain.

Greal and glorious were our S. I. A. A. and A. A. I . victories, on account of the many competitors. The success of our Track Team has been wonderful, hut it is no more than right that it should he so; for the ever- watchful, trained and experienced eye of our Coach, Dr. F. II. II. Calhoun, has ever been the keynote of our success. Great credit is due him for the development of Track athletics at Clemson. He will have this year the able assistance of Pro- fessor Gardner who. in 11)10, was Captain of Purdue ' s team. During the Track season of 1911, Clemson won two dual meets and wound up the season by winning the S. I. A. A. and the A. A. I. championships; the former for the third time in succession. The first Meet was held at Tech in Atlanta. The Yellow Jackets put up a strong fight, hut were defeated by a score of (i(i to 42. The Clemson-Carolina Meet, held at Clemson, May 1st, was easily won by the Tigers, the score being ! S to 1!). The annual S. I. A. A. Meet was pulled off in Birmingham, May 6th. At the same time the A. A. U. Meet was pulled off. Clemson took first in the S. I. A. A.; defeating her nearest opponent by 15 points. Seven other Southern Col- leges took part in the Meet. In the A. A. I . Meet, ten teams competed for first place; Clemson winning out by a seore of 38. Auburn coming second. Of the stars who have placed Clemson so high in Track work during the past three years, many have performed for their last time for Clemson. The success of the 1912 Team must, therefore, depend largely upon new men. Of last year ' s Team, Lewis (holder of both the S. I. A. A. and A. A. I . record for the mile run) will compete in the distance runs. Ward (joint holder of the half-mile record with Greene of Auburn) will he a running mate for Lewis; Ezell, Candy and Kaminer will take care of the weight events; Provost and Ward in the high hurdles; Bissell in the sprints and low hurdles; Kangeter in the pole vault: Mclver in the high jump, and Brodie in the sprints and broad jump. Many Freshmen have had experience on their high school teams, and from these we expect great things. The men who must uphold Clemson ' s magnificent record of the past five years, during which time she has lost no dual meet and has won the Intercollegiate championship for three consecutive years, must he drawn chiefly from the Freshman Class. The loss of so many point winners leaves places vacant that either this year or next year must he filled by members of the lower classes. IS!) J- . c -- X V - - - r 1912 i Basketball Sketch, 1912 No iVw men ever exhibited more genuine college spirit than the members of Clemson ' s firsl Basketball Team. Nor has any team shown more ability in so short a time. The Team i well balanced. Captain James Krwin is without doubt the besl offensive player in the State, while his brother John follows him closely in every respect. Kangeter takes care of the Left Guard and is the most aggres- sive man in the squad- offensively and defensively. Hydrick makes an ideal defen- sive guard; Evans, Provost and Ward all take care of the forward in good style.

At the State [ntercollegiate Tournament held at Spartanburg, in November, 1911, J. O. Erwin, J. W. Erwin and J. C. Caldwell wen- Clemson ' s representatives; and they figured prominently in the contest for the cup. The cup for Doubles was won by the Newberry representative; but in the Singles J. O. Erwin won from drier, of Erskine, by a More of three sets to one. Considering the limited number of tennis court- at Clemson, we should he unus- ually proud of this record. It is to be hoped thai the results of this Tournament will encourage the Athlet- ic Association to take steps toward constructing some new court-. All the court- here now are owned by the Y. M. C. A. The tennis spirit is growing at Clemson, and the four court- now hen- will be even more inadequate in the future than they have been in the past 1 2 V 1812 - TAPS - 1912 £} u r ♦ Wearers of the C Football Bates, J.

February 1. 1912 No. 15 RACCOONS WIN BEST GAME OF THE SEASON Mick Chick Penalized Twice for Sluctfii ' K One of the besl and most sensational football games of the season was played on the Campus on Saturday afternoon, when the Babboons and the Raccoons met for their annual game. The two team-- were evenly matched in size and speed, and each fought to a finish, though the Raccoons succeeded in winning the game by a narrow margin; the final score being Raccoons !)! . Babboons i . The game was called at three o ' clock. Each team fought its hardest in de- fending its own goal and trying to gain over the line of the opposing team, and the result of this hard fighting is shown by the small score made. There were several brilliant, heady plays made during the game, and both teams showed up several stars. Guttz , for the Babboons, deserves first pla.ee among the stars for energy and speed. His long runs and his great energy throughout the game arc responsible for one of the seventeen touchdowns made by bis team. For the Raccoons. Dicky was easily the star. The great ability with which he generalized his team and his own plunging of the line will give him a place among the best of the strong. quick and heady players. King S. also de- serves credit for the way he worked his team. Foots was easily the star at center. This lad. though young in the football world, has devel- oped into an All-Southern center. He firmly braces himself, snaps the hall quickly and allows no line rush to go over him Other stars for the Babboons were Hobo. ' ' Sam and Archibald, and the men who did the star work for the Raccoons were Little Joe . Rastus. Wells and Prep. The game, though a good one. was marred at times by rough and brutal playing. Each team was penalized several times for some dirt] playing. The Babboons were penalized twice because of the slugging of Mick Chick. ' the right end. and once for rough work of Stud at tackle. The Raccoons wen- penalized because of the slugging of Hall at center, and again because of a foul by Rastus at right end. At one time it was feared that the exhibition of football would end in a free-for-all fight. DEAD BODY FOUND! FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED On Sunday afternoon, the most atrocious crime in the annals of the Delinquency Sheet was revealed. The finding of a dead body near the dairy barn gave evidences of a most startling murder The head was completely severed from the body and gave evidences oi having been taken off in a most cruel anil bar- baric manner. No motive for the crime, nor any clues as to who the murderers are. have as yet been discovered. That the crime was the result of foul play is shown by the condition of the body. As there arc no proofs or clues at the scene of the murder, there seems to be little chance of fixing the crime upon anyone. The Sloan-Duckett Detective Agency has taken the case in hand, and the two principal members of the Agency are giving the matter their entire attention. It is hoped that within a few days that these shrewd detectives will develop some clues that will enable them to trace the horrible i rcd to its source. Undoubtedly the crime was committed in the open daylight. Bloodhounds wore secured, but no trail which they could follow was found. Every effort is being made to apprehend the guilty parties. Meanwhile, the excitement over the crime is not very intense, as the murdered body was only that of a bit. ' . fat red rooster. THE CLEMSON MINSTREL COMEDY CO.

His growl is the command for silence. The lease which the College has on this animal will expire this session, and it cannol he renewed. Captains Stokes and Duckett, working to- gether, have succeeded in putting out an iniqui- tous method f roll-call, which is designed to get all cadets to formations. The method has been successful, a shown by the fact that Joe ' Hates was induced to go to reveille once. and three Senior Privates were in Chapel one morning. The method— the work of two in- genious minds will be both patented and copy- righted. Honors for original scientific investigation are to be awarded to the members of the Chemistry section. The sixteen men in this group have spent much time ill the lecture loom and in the laboratories, working out problems of Chemistry. The final conclusions and perhaps the most important one that these men have reached — is that Chemistry is H l : l . . Recent investigations have revealed the fact that reveille is controlled by a trust, hut, as the higher authorities hold the controlling interest, the courts will not interfere with the workings of this monopolistic body. The masses have to acquiesce in the wishes of the few and contrib- ute their part to the daily reveille formations. The boycott plan does not work in this case, because the fixes and tens are dealt out frcch to those who try it. Sam Ezell has at last worked out Un- reasons for his great height. After years of research work along this line he has at last determined the fact that two factors are at work on him. The force of gravity which tends to pull him down and an ethereal force which tends to draw him up. The two forces working in opposition to each other have drawn him out to his present length. Hud Fisher has hist out. The originator of the Mutt and Jeff cartoons has given up his cartoon work, because another has been able to depict Mutt and Jeff and fit them to some practical purpose. This other one is Harry EfutSOD who, after much practice, has been able to succeed Mr. Fisher as the Mutt and Jeff artist. Marry has worked till twelve o ' clock at night adorning the bulletin board with the pictures of the two characters Mutt and Jeff. CLASSIFIED tl. Wwted — To know What ' s the new; Rialto?- W. P.

SOCIAL The most delightful card-party of the season was held in President Rigg ' s office on Monday afternoon. February 5th. Sixteen invited guests assembled to enjoy the hospitality of the re- nowned entertainer. As each guest had made about the same score, no first prize was given, but consolation prizes were given to all. ' I ' Ih host himself Mixed a dainty lunch of talk, lla ored with hot air. As a souvenir of the party and a remembrance to his guests, the host had each guest to sign his name to a card before leaving t he office. Captain M. 15. Stokes entertained the mem- bers of the Senior Class in the Chapel for an hour today. Captain Stokes is an original entertainer, and his entertainments are enjoyed SO much that each guest wishes that he would not have another one. GET Your C .

It was this Class thai realized that only one college publicatioo for uur College was not enough. They decided to have another; so they launched out on the sea of trouble and founded The Tiger. These men who founded Tin: TlGER had great visions as to the great work thai a baby Tiger should do for its husk} parents the Tigers of the athletic field for truly is ihe little Tiger a son of the fool- hall and baseball Tigers of Clemson. From the first, 1 1 1 i - infant son of the husky athletic crew was a Strong beasl and roared loud, hut not often. He made bis appearance only once every two weeks. Bach year the Senior Class had charge of the little beasl and fed him and groomed him. in order to hear his roar at two-week inter- vals. At last the Class of ' 11 decided that four years of babyhood were enough, and also that the once small beasl had developed enough to have more voice. Accordingly, he was given more freedom, and weekh were Ids now strong roars heard resounding from the old walls of ' lemson. Then the time came for the present (lass t,i take charge of the beast. Tin Tiger had re- ceived weekk training for a year and had devel- oped immensely. The (lass of 12 took the beast into their Control and made the tall boj of the ( ' lass liis Manager.

At this time ( lemson mi ii. especially members of the senior (lass, are facing a perilous situa- tion. This e;ir is Leap Year; it is the year when another fellow ' s sister has the privilege of dropping out careless reminders to the bashful or negligent young man who has been loo nervous or too careless to sa} the thing thai the sister of the other fellow wants him to Bay. If the reminder is not enough, this same sister of another fellow may just because February has twenty-nine days saj the thing that, for perhaps three ears, she has been wanting the negligent fellow to sa} She ma} ask him an all-important question. And right here is where the Clemson men are in such great danger, for they have not been taught the art of Baying nn to the ( ther fellow ' s sUter: and the sisters of the other fellows do fall hefore the majestic cadets Now, these same sj,ters have ihe pri ilege of telling the cadets of this, simply because lit I •- ' can be divided by four without a re- mainder. Now lei ThbTiGEH sound its warning to (lemson men: Don ' t break the heart of the young or old maiden who unblushingly falls on her knees before you, confesses Inr affections for you and asks you to allow her to he your protection for all life. Don ' t break the heart of the dear by a stern no. or don ' t exclaim, Oh. dear, this is too sudden! ' ' You had an idea that she would do this when Leap Year came Don ' t allow the soft, effusive tones of the maiden to so distract your mind that you cannot give her an answer that comes from serious deliberation; hut think seriously for a while, and then tell her to go ask papa. Then hut of course you should not give your father the tip to refuse for you if the father refuses to allow her to become your protection, don ' t allow yourself to rtra} olf in the fields, where she may swoop down upon you in her aeroplane and hear you awa with her to the home of 8 minister. The romantic up-to-date jjirl is likel} to hear you away during this Leap Year; therefore, the thing for you to do is to watch for the danger. Now. these warnings are for a purpose, for there is more than one maiden who is romantic and beautiful; so. if you become too much enraptured with the first one that you meet, perhaps you won ' t see the others There are other chain ' s You will not always he bashful, negligent or careless Vw.iit your time, make yourself think that, because there are :!(iti days in 1912, that it is the last year.

In his usual graceful and pleasing manner Parson ' intro- duced the speaker of the evening. Then the speaker arose and addressed his audience in part as follows Fellows, the most vital, omniferous and odoriferous question of today now looms large upon our horizon; and I come before ymi to- night to ask your aid in helping to find the solu- tion to the grave question of the present age. That question is as follows; What shall we do with our friend, the negro? Fellows, most of you know that I have had a lengt by discussion of this question with the greatest enthusiast on the negro question that you have on your faculty. Fellows, I have talked with him long and often, hut the old durl ' er still thinks thai I am w roii!, ' . Oh. the brainlessness of some brainy men ' Fellows, we have got to solve the prob- lem, and my great brain has worked out the solution of it. It is this: You Chemistry men must do some original work and find some sol- vent that will dissolve the black pigment out of his skin. You Electricians must produce the current which, sent through his body, will straighten out the kinks of his hair (voice from the audience: Rather the one that will send him to H - ); and you Civil Engineers must take a line of levels and make computations to determine the amount of lip and nose to re- move so as to make them of a normal size Now. then, who will volunteer to solve the prob- lem of how to remove the natural aromatic odors attendant upon him? Fellows, you must do these things, r we must lake the negro as hi ' is color, kinks and all. and associate with him till we no longer think of these things. ' A ' -.

A. stands for the upbuilding of the moral character of the corps. IN aim is to help each and every one to build his character: to help each and every one to understand more fully his relation to his Maker; to help every one to realize personal obligation to his God. This, after all. is the foundation of true character. Every work of the Association has as its ultimate object the building of character, by leading each cadet to a purer and more consecrated life. This work is a failure so tar as it fall- hort of these attainment-. This is fully realized. The Associa- tion is doing all in its power to bring the corps to a higher plane of moral-. Hut such work in so large a body, so frequently changing in personnel. i of necessity -low in accomplishing tangible results. Yet the work is going on. and it- results are more in evidence this year than ever before. It is the endeavor of the Association to have a speaker of ability and repu- tation to address the meetings every Sunday evening. After these meetings the Bible Study groups assemble. Here is found the secret of the success of the work. for knowledge of the Bible has ever been the source of all its good work. As the men see the good work that the Association is forwarding, they realize more fully it- value. Each year the enrollment increases. It is hoped that the day is not far di-tant when the name of every cadet will appear on this roll. fte- 05 c - - ZL ' c a 05 V- = 05 - 05 z u • — Cfl - •- r z - t a z — x z — t - z zg£552 - . 1S82 — TAPS The James H.

I was standing with a Dumber of ClemsoD men waiting for the Carolina Special, which was to take u to the end of our journey in short, to the City of Calhoun, the Dearest station to Clemson College. He was walking lip and down the shed in a rather uncertain manner and would run up to some of the trainmen whenever be beard a bell and a-k if that were the Clemson train. I chanced to be standing near the path he kept patroll- ing and. after passing me some half dozen times, he seemed to fed that lie ought to make my acquaintance. On one of these tours he stopped abruptly in trout of me and stared. I confess I returned the -tare, and I rather think that I had more ground to -tare than he. However, we can irselves as others see us. He was nearly  i feet in height and well built. He held his shoulders well hack and his head high. His suit was a bright blue, his necktie a flaming red, hi- MK-k- green and his -hoe- a dusty patent. Hut it was his headgear that attracted my attention most for he wore a ( ' lemson cap. I don ' t know how long we looked at each other, hut I do remcinher hearing him say: tl HBB — TAPS - 1912 f Howdy; be you going to Clemson? Yes sir, I replied, are you going up? Yes sir. I thoughl I would run up and sec it ' those fellows up there could learn me anything what I don ' t know l ut farming. So you have lived on a farm? Yes sir, and a big farm. too. Pa ' -s gol ' boul fifty acres, counting swamp and all. down in Horry County. Well, not to change the subject mysteriously, hut where did you get that cap? Oh, t liar ' s no mystery ' bout it. I got it from a friend o ' mine what went to Clemson last year, two years ago. You sec. I ' lowed if I wore this here cap, them old hoys wouldn ' t know that I was a rat. I -ue - they ' ll Hud I too sharp for ' em. You think so? I know it. AN by don ' t you get a cap and fool ' em, too? I suppressed a smile with difficulty. There was I — a dignified Senior taken for a rat. Hut we cannot see ourselves as others see US. My friend did not seem to notice that I did not reply, hut went on: Meybe I might be able to help you out, seein ' I ' ll be an old boy. I always make all the boys at home stan ' ' round! If you ever need any help, jest call on Jack Smith. I thanked him and excused myself to buy my ticket. It was eleven thirty that night when I next saw my new friend. About two hundred of us had come in on the late train, and we had been notified that we must matriculate and pay our dues before we would be assigned to rooms in bar- racks. Now this seems a very simple requirement, but for two hundred men to go through this takes up several hours and requires the assistance of several officers to preserve order. I happened to be one of those pressed into service, and in this way came to meet again Cadet Jack Smith. I saw him as soon as he entered the treasurer ' s office, for his blue cap added to his i feet made him easily recognizable. He was in the long line of men who, having signed the matriculation card in the hall, were slowly moving past the teller ' s window, having exchanged their money for a precious receipt. As he turned from the window, he espied me standing by the door of the Commandant ' s office and advanced confidently. How are you making it? he asked. Very well. How are you getting on. and how did you find out you had to come up here? Why didn ' t you go to bed? I did. I came along with the crowd. They were wondering if we would have to ' trieulate. and some says yes we would and some says no. Well, I ' lowed I ' d turn in and I soon got me a room: but hit warn ' t long afore some of them fellows turned me out again. I had just bout dropped off to sleep when all of a sudden I was layin ' -2 ;:5 tl IS . Rat, what does you think you are Hat on the floor wid my mattress on top of inc. and that ere little bed scattered all over the floor. I gol up and was tryin ' to get things together, when a old boy conic in and says, ' Well, III be doing in in y room? I told h i in I didn ' t know it was his room. Then he said he ' d jest give me Eve min- utes to get out. 1 1 c didn ' t seed my cap o n t h c she] f a n d In- looked -o mean I low cd I wouldn ' t say not hin ' bout it. lie went to undressin ' , and the faster he look Off, the la tcr I put on. When I gol dressed I got to the door, and then 1 asked him if he knowed where I could room. He looked hard at me and then he seen my cap. He asked me where I got it. and I told him as it belonged to a friend of mine. Then lie said as he didn ' t give a hurrah. I could sleep in the w Is, or I could come up here and get Spokes to give me a room. I come, and somebody told me how to ' triculate. So. if you want to ' triculatc. I ' ll show you how. You jest ask that little man in the hall tor one of those ere cards, and he will say, ' Sit down here and fill up them end thinks and d ii your name on t hat ere bottom line. You does it . and comes on in here and swaps your money foi this paper and t his card. But I forgol totellyou ' boul that pledge he makes you sign. Hit says you won ' t haze or inaletreat any new cadets, but, mind you it. didn ' t saj a word crl out hazing old hoys little old boys, you know. Now I say, let ' s have sonic fun; lint say. what ' bout yon rooinin ' wid me! ' I quickly decided that it was time for me to assert myself. s ( , I told my friend to wait on me a minute. I stepped over to the Assistant Commandant and asked him to put this particular man in my company. I would see that he learned ! respect me. Then I informed Mr. Smith that I had another roommate in view and advised him to secure his room at once. Me passed on into the office and the expression on his face I thought indicated that he had discovered his mistake. 264 TAPS -1912 f| It was about eight o ' clock Friday night, as I passed down hall number thirteen, that my at tent ion was at traded by the sou in 1 of a guitar in the room on my right . As I passed, someone inside flung the door open and I saw. within, sonic ten or twelve boys lounging around the room, ami Jack Smith standing on the table playing and singing Home. Sweet Home. - ' The leader in the crowd. Brown. explained that Rat Smith had come in and tried to pass himself off as an old boy. but one of the rats he tried to paddle exposed him. Then Brown ordered Hat Smith to show us how he could write his name on the floor with his nose. This he did. with sur- prising quickness. Then he was requested to get over a chair. while all the boys present emphatically spelled their names for him in a very impressivt manner. This ceremony completed, Brown decided to have some more music and asked Hat Smith if he knew Who Are You With Tonight? Hat Smith had never heard of this song, so he naturally misunderstood Brown ' s meaning, and replied: Yes; but I hope that I will not be wid ' cm another night. We all roared with laughter at Brown ' s evident chagrin, but heard him reply in thun- derous tones: HAT! What makes you so fresh? Smith seemed very much confused, but WijP Jk % s , r, Je . blurted out, apologetically: I didn ' t mean to crack a joke on you. I guess my being fresh comes with my being a Freshman. We all laughed at Brown ' s rising anger and. of course, this only spurred him on to find some way of out-playing the rat in this impromptu match of wit-. Hat. he began, you think you are funny. Wal, not as funny as von look like you feel. 265 . m 1912 — TAPS - 1912 § This broughl the r;i t ;i round of applause, to Brown ' s evidenl disgust. He decided to 1 ry an old game. Rat, he said, pointing l me, ask thai fellow for a bath ticket. Smith did m,. What do you waul with it? I asked. Mr. Brown needs it. he replied, dryly. Brown by this time was furious. Rat Smith, he said, you y to the Commandant ' s office and il - me a pan full of reveille. I ' ll meet yon at the guard-room. The rat tartc | on his mission and the crowd broke up, jeering Brown good naturedly. Ral Smith was prominent in a squad of recruits drilling the next w eek. When the squad was first formed he chanced to be in the middle of the front rank: and so, when the squad was sized up, he was placed on the righl end. Since 1 1 1 i — made him a pivot man. and numerous explanations wen- given as to the movements of pivol men. Mr. Smith was at once very much impressed with the importance of his position. After he had been drilling two weeks he came around to my room to talk over the movements and drill-. He explained to me how his drill master made a mistake the day before, and how he had corrected him. Then he told me that he was drilling like a corporal. I congratulated him on his progress, and then he told me: I want a corporal next year. ' Well. I hope yon will be successful in getting it. ' Von has to send in an application, doesn ' 1 you? No, you don ' t have to. WCI1. you can, can ' t you? Oh, yes. I done sent in mine yesterday. What did you say in it f I jest wrote something like this; ' To the ( ' oniinaiidant : Dear ( aptain. I have great pleasure in applying for the first corporal in company for next year. I know how to drill. Respectfully, Jackson Smith. ■uu, 8 PA-JliL ■ rtr h l x Sp Have you heard from it? I asked. Not yet; guess I will soon. The year passed on. The Fair Trip was enjoyed immensely by Rat Smith. His experiences there space does not permit us to give. Smith ' s military aspirations led , t him to earn the nickname of Long ( orporal. This came about by his believing one of the hoys who told him that he had the appoint- ment. Accordingly, Long Corporal secured some corporals stripes, sewed them on and actually went up to the Commandant and asked tor a drill book. The Commandant absent-mindedly took down Smith ' s name and told him to come back next week. However. Long Corporal ' s dream was soon shattered when his classmates that night transferred his stripes to another part of his anatomy. Hut with commence- ment came his reward, for he did get a corporal even though it was fifth rank in M Company. W, V 1«2 — TAPS - 1912 t 312 - ' -.- C-- z- £?
