When Foote set out for Clemson. it was with the determination to be a real noise, and so systematically has he carried out his plans that even the most con- servative are forced to admit that he has attained his goal — witnesses: the Commandants, the cadets, and the professors. This same quality blasted his military aspirations in their infancy. If Foots succeeds as well in accumulating Electrical knowledge as he has in gathering Extras, his success in life is a centainty.

Skeet may very appropriately be designated one hundred and sixty pounds of pure, unadulterate nerve. Skeet ' s qualities as an athlete are second t none in his Class. Like the lillies of the field, Skeet toils not. neither does he spin — except when engaged leading the host on Cummins ' Square.

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 ' !

VIRGIL FLORIN BRYANT Orangeburg, S. C. ienior Private; Band. tlVIL ENGINEERING. ' Puss, who hails from the House of Orange, ird of the Hobo course soon after reaching col- e. Thinking this to be an easy road to a dip, he led ranks with the Civils, but found his course to harder than a hobo ' s life. He began his college eer by taking life easy, and delights in going filing. It is said that he took fifty shots to bring vn a tame duck. On account of being too mili- . v. Puss failed to get an office, but we hope to see 1 accomplish his ambition by getting a colonel in Engineering Corps.

Byrd is a deep thinker, a sleeper of sleepers, and a snorer of snorers. He has distinguished himself as a military genius, having won many honors, and intro- duced a new kind of salute. Byrd advances the idea that the A. I. E. E. hall could be beautified by using Chanticleers. He is a Jack-of-all-trades, and success will come his way if he does not get mixed up in love and live wires. A fair question is half fynoivledge
