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

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. H accomplishes locomotion by an airy tread, suggesti of an Indian war dance. He smiles when he wins, and laughs Tvhen he loose Pl KltE I ' M « HrtPPy ww .

Jule enjoys life to the fullest extent; its happiest moments to him are spent either in sleep or with his pipe. Doc Jule is always happy, except when he is the goat of a joke; then look out, friend, you are rushing in where angels fear to tread. Jule is a true friend, a good athlete, and an orator that sways his audience. We predict for him a long life of success. A trained ear, a careful longue, a milling hand — three requisites of happiness and success 0 HENRY ELIAS CHAMBLISS Hardinsburg, K.Y. D. D. C. ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL; Exeo live Committee of A. I.
