This little lad strayed into our midst in the Winter of 1911. Having been blessed by the gods of mathe- matics, Bennie was at once admitted to the ranks of the Hoboes. Since then he has been a loyal follower of our Chief. BENNIE never carries a hammer, but rather a good word for everyone. With such ability and character, we expect great things from him in the future. ' Thou cans ' I not then be false to any man TilE IDEftu OF - = JOEL ANDERSON BERLY POMARIA, S. C. Sergeant; Captain.

John holds many honors among us; and the financial success of this book is due in a great part to his untiring efforts. When we leave college we shall have many pleasant remembrances of hours spent in John ' s company. His ambition is to become a dairy farmer of Laurens County, and probably be one of the political bosses of the State. He is wise worldly, hut not worldly wise r 1 fUNNIN 1 t 1 1 AWT ■ -[ A- -ft.

E.; Vice-President Newberry County Club ' 13 and ' 14. PO 5 HAROLD deserted the Lutherans at Newberry, in the Spring of 1912, and came to Clemson to develop his latent electrical engineering faculties. But, after culti- vation of a taste for drill and reveille, he showed re- r markable military development, capturing a sergeant and later a lieutenant. Regardless of political tastes, his genial disposition has won him many friends, who pre- dict for him a most successful career as an electrical engineer in the little city of Newberry.

Con- test ' 14. Three cheers for Mount Carmel ' s product — hand- some, studious, ambitious, and a very agreeable com- panion. His general military figure and special First Sergeant record won for him Major of the First Battal- ion and Captain of the Picked Company. Arnold expects to acquire distinction as a lawyer or banker, and we see no reason why he will not reach the top, since he believes in doing what is right, and sticking to it. To become a diplomatic and successful man — is a consummation devoutly to be wished •fort it «om he. NAPot-EcV (tiNT ioX boes Ttui-r ' !
