Ben, or Toots, as some call him, is a big blushing boy from McCormick, and is almosl the most modest young man in the class. Ben couldn ' t be induced to walk through one of the big department stores :n At- lanta — so you see he must be a modest youth. ' Tis said that he is coming out, though; and now boasts of a few admirers in that wild mounta n city, West minster, where people are sti in the barbaric state. Everyone knows this boy, because great has been his career as a footbal hero. Corporal, Sergeant. Captain Varsity Footbal!

Ye gods, but annihilate time, and make two morta happy, and we know Pete is near. He came to Clemson five years ago, but fondness for trig and unlucky numbers caused him to cast his lot with the Class of ' 13. Seldom speaking, Pete seldom fails to say something when he does. Dancing, pretty ladies, and poetry are weaknesse? ; and we predict a career as a society butterfly. Sergeant. arsity Track 11: Class Track ' 10, 11; Senior Dancing Club.
