DEDICATE THIS VOLUME OF TA P S Mrs. Minnie Shands Middleton 85 g?| ' TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeei A HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE 5fT WAS on a hot summer day in July, 1893, that 446 Rats toilfully plodded the !W dust - v roac from Calhoun and Cherrys to our College. After matriculating, these youths immediately penetrated the recesses of barracks. Then there was no hungry Sophomore for them to supply with contraband; no vandal ' s hand to turn their beds; no audacious villain to become knight of the bayonet. Everyone was on a plane free and equal. We sometimes ponder on how these young men were able to prevent homesickness without a superior in barracks. However, four long years passed, and, in December, 1896, thirty-seven dignified Seniors gravely received their dips, and once more were turned into the hard, cold world. In this line, we may consider the amount of speculation as to when the practice of hazing was first installed. By the process of ReJuctio ad Absurdem, we have arrived at the conclusion that it was begun in July, 1894. In the same connection comes the origin of the word Rat. There have been thousands of explanations offered and theories advanced concerning this problem. However, there has lately be- come to our eyes an explanation which seems highly probable. This explanation states that the word. Rat, probably has some connection with the Malayan Rattan, a cane used sometimes by pedestrians and sometimes by Hogging-masters. This theory is accepted by some of our most worthy scholars. Until 1897, the College had been operated between the months of February and December. However, it was not long before the boys took a sudden notion that it was too hot in July to plow, and that they objected to hoeing cotton; so, by a request of the majority, the college was thereafter operated between the months of September and June only. So now the boys can carry on only fall, winter, and spring plowing. About this time, the annual football game with Carolina was started, and, as tradition tells us, the Tigers have usually come back with feathers in their mouths. The same old spirit is prevailing now as in the dear old days of 1900. Tradition states that militarism has always been a feature in our curriculum. In the good old days of 1910, the life of a soldier was indeed a great one. The old records say that Reveille occurred at 10 A.M., and Tattoo at 6 p. M.; Taps was entirely optional. The Rats were aroused at intervals of thirty minutes by a rotation of their downy couches. In these good old days democracy of military life ruled supreme. But, ah, a warrior stepped in, and Militarism pitched his tent on college grounds in 1912, and ruled supreme. No longer did the ruddy sun kiss the ranks of Reveille; no longer did the clink of beds arouse the sleeping Rats. For in the dead of night, as the sonorous snores of the sleeping soldiers softly soared above the barracks, a clanging of bells and blading of trumpets, followed immediately by a rush from barracks, could oft be heard amidst this chieftain ' s rule. Not content with this, he endeavored to change the title of our dear Rats to that of Recruits, which attempt met with very little success. But chronological and climatic order seems to have proceeded hand in hand in the military line at our College. It is rumored that we are soon to have a military contest with West Point, but, of course, our authorities are confident of our success. We hope also to arrange such a contest with one of the higher German Universities in the near future. Lights have been constructed at various points on the campus in order to afford light to the First Sergeants at Reveille in case of the absence of the moon. It is barely possible that the Rats of 1893 would recognize their old Alma Mater. The main building was burnt down and rebuilt in 1894. Barracks and buildings of instruction have risen on every side. New residences are scattered over the hill. A beautiful Y. M. C. A. building has been recently erected. Our campus has been wonderfully improved. Let us say to these men of ' 96, and to all others of our graduates, that we are all sons of the same old Alma Mater, and should entertain the same high regard towards the College. So let us all be loyal to her forever, and always keep in view our common interest in doing everything to help old Clemson along. M. M.

Colonel tried to thrust military honors upon him, but he modestly refused them and said that he would rather walk the narrow and straight way. He is an athlete in every sense of the word. John Pat is one of the fastest men in the South — in the true sense of the word! His ability as a foot- ball player has been shown in game after game. He not only stars on the gridiron and cinder bed, but in the classroom as well. His knowledge of chemistry has even astonished Dickey. We believe that he will reach the line of success in life as readily as he can in a track meet. i i s ) James Little Alford Dillon, S. C. W hen hearts arc tiue, Ferv words will Jo.

Tubbie believes in visitia his friends and in having his good time, but this not all he does. Tubbie says that he studies moc erately, and we take his word for it. However, whe grades are posted, he is among the joyful ones wh are above the fateful sixty. He is also a footba player of ability, a good Literary Society man, and : general, a very valuable man to his class.

T. V. entered Clemson as a member of the class of ' 16, but becoming dissatisfied with military life, decided to try the fate of the cold world . After a year of this life, he joined the ranks of those who are fighting under the banner of ' 17. During his Junior year, he was the mosi spectacular man in college, as he held the hon- ored position of drum major. The memories of his antics with the baton will long remain indelibly stamped in the minds of many, especially those of the fair sex. The word yabbo stands as a landmark in his college career, he having been a martyr to this unknown cause. He has an unusually lively dis- position, and never allows his class work to interfere with his social duties. He says he is majoring in Dairying. Here ' s wishing him the best of success in whatever capacity it may be the will of fate for him to serve. -21 I Howell Taylor Arthur Richmond, Va. The best of men have ever loved repose.

Dusty, as many of us know him, joined us when we were Rats, and he hailed from Charleston. For some unknown reason, H. T. moved to Richmond, Va. His class-mates could never figure why he made this move, for he could pass through Columbia on his way to Charleston, as well as to Richmond. From the letters received from the Capital, it looks as if H. T. expects to make Columbia his future home, or else he will move part of Columbia to Richmond. Dusty often narrates how he sat up all night on the Pullman from Clemson to Richmond. We pre- dict that this man will finally end with the Southern, for he always defends the slow trains. If H. T. is as true to Civil Engineering as he has been to his many friends, we are sure he will make a home for the girl he left behind, and then he will not have to sit and dream as he has done in the past.

Shortly after Beech Island was put on the map, Turkey ventured a trip to Clemson. Though accustomed to the free life of the farm, he was man enough to surrender him- self unto Caesar and stick it out. For this, we may characterize him as a brave, determined youth. Turkey ' s military career was short but sweet. For three whole months we had to call him sergeant, but the Colonel soon found out that he was not an enthusiastic advocate of reveille. Since enter- ing college, Turkey has succumbed to the wiles of Dan Cupid. Every day we may find this young lover walking post in front of the P. O., im- patiently awaiting the arrival of the mail. Though fond of strolling among the haunts of nature with his boy friends, he spends most of his time writing billet-doux to his best girl. We expect great things of Turkey as a pioneer breeder of live stock in his county. -22- Archie Alexander Barron York, S. C.

Archie soon became Rick, hich no doubt will always stick to him. Rick arted off strong in militarism, having been made a orporal, and then a Sergeant! But, alas! Senior rivate life was his. Rick is an arc light at the lances. He ' s a regular guy. His jokes are few, l ut his laughs are numerous. Rick ' s friends are umerous on account of his unwavering fidelity to leni. The finality of every one of his decisions fits im for leaderships. Rick is an ardent Hoboite ; at irveying he ' s a Shark.

When he first came to Clemson he was a wild buck, and had to be tamed by degrees: now he is almost tame. Although a great believer in fun and a good time, of both of which he always has his share, he knows when to put foolish things aside and get down to work. When he makes up his mind to do a thing, he generally accomplishes it in spite of difficulties. Always cheerful, he is one who never lets his troubles worry him, if he ever has any. Horrey ' s past has gone; so we will drop it and let the dead past bury its dead, but his future lies before him bright and shining. During the last two years of his college life, he has revealed his true self to us all. -23- James Furman Berry Greenville. S. C. The onh wall to have a friend is to be one. Mechanic al-Elec.

This Berry. although he has auburn hair. has never acquired the nickname of Red. but is known as Pug. He is famous around barracks for his slick tongue, and was never known to lose in an argument. For this reason. Pug can always fool the fairer sex. and it so happens that he is in possession of a good-looking girl all the time. One of Pug ' s favorite pastimes is dancing, and if it were not for this, life at Clemson would be h — I for Pug. His innocent, angel-like expression hides a nature that all of us might do well to imitate, but even at that he has one weak spot — the girls. Alreadv he is laying the corner-stone of his career, for wherever he deems it most expedient he ingratiates himself into the good graces of those whose favor is not to be des pised. , FF Edward W.

In Black we find a fair representative of the City of Williston. With his earnest heart, backed by a willingness to help others, he came to Clemson as an honest, straightfor- ward worker. His egotistical belief in what he thinks, regardless of other people ' s efforts to change his mind, soon gave him a place at the front. His independent, thoroughly efficient way. has justly made him well known, and brought him many honors. Black is a great ladies ' man. He has made many conquests among the girls, and some of the girls have made great conquests against Black, and already he has found the ideal of his dreams. A few short years from now will find him as owner of a large potato starch manufacturing plant near W llliston. Here ' s luck to him. and may Clemson be honored bv more like him. -24- John Davis Blair Strother, S. C. Flirl and the girls flirt with you ; Don ' t, and they consider you slorv.

Wofford, alias Dickev, caught his first vision of manliness while hunting in the northern hills of Spartanburg County. Inspired by this vision, he stood the examination for a scholarship, and entered Clemson in the fall of 1913. Realizing the hidden worth of the Limestone section of South Carolina, he chose Chemistry as his profession. Not only does he possess the enviable facility of analyzing rocks and minerals, but he also possesses that still more enviable power of knowing Man— the most complex of God ' s handiworks. During his entire four vears ' stay with us. no one has found his limit, and our admi- ration and expectations soar aloft for The man who sees his duty and does it.

This lad, known to us as Jessie. fell into our midst in the fall of ' 13. He played the part of the wayward son and cast his lot with the Cndentes. He has done some effective firing in winning for himself the respect and admiration of both faculty and student-body. His most destructive projectiles seem to be his numerous love epistles, which have found targets and scored hits at such a distant range as Florida. He has said that, after graduation, he expected to go to the sunny-flower land for special study. We all understand this, for there is a little magnet attracting him. He has never been in danger of a nervous breakdown due to excessive work, though he has a good standing in his classes. Jessie is a good-natured, happy-go-luckv fellow. He never worries about anything, but lets things happen as they will. T is -26- John Davis Brandon McCoNNELLSYILLE. S. C.

John is from Turkey Creek Hills. a place renowned for its fair-haired, beautiful girls and handsome young men. He has been desig- nated as Swifty ever since he made his debut on the gridiron. During Swifty s Junior year here, he went off on an extended journey ; and it so happened that Swifty became enamoured by the attractions and came back later than he should. The parental hand of the college missed the wayward son so much that it decided to place him in close proximity to the House of Corrections. so he has come to the conclusion that Discretion is the better part of valor. ' John is a big. quiet fellow, and his moral traits measure up tc the man. John :s ambitious, and we think that his worthy ambition will bring him wealth, knowledge, religion, and a loving wife.

He is some knight of the pen, letting his trend of thought usually run in a poetic direction. He has blest this college for four years with his Shakespearean verses. FRIDAY, like many other great men, is a desperate antagonist of militarism. He takes great pleasure in shooting the opposing professors, in the art of which he is very efficient. His class record is one to be envied. FRIDAY has a lively and cheerful dispo- sition, and has a host of friends in barracks.

He has kept his classmates guessing as to where he is from, for at various times during his college career he has claimed three different counties as his home. Jimmie has a way of making girls go crazy about him before he finishes the first conversation with them. They say he is cute, and we will just take their word for it. Jimmie has always been untiring in the discharge of his class duty. All who know him. know him only to desire contact more often with him. He is of broad principles and keen observances.

Way back in the fall of ' 13. the sepulchral quietude of the Clemson atmosphere was dis- turbed by a tremendous racket proceeding from the halls of the Main Building. Imagine that you hear a busy boiler factory and an active fog horn all rolled into one, and you will have some idea of the disturbance which so startled the community that memorable day. NOISEY had arrived. But, sad to relate, he had not been here long until the diligent Sophomores caused a slight abatement of the activity of his vocal organs. However, these soon lecovered their normal Functions, and have retained them to this day. V arious professors can testify that he makes a big noise on class records as well as on the sound record- ing apparatus of his associates, and we predict that he will some day be the big noise in the Textile field. A kindly heart, a quick wit, and a-i active brain are important assets, and NOISEY possesses them all. -29- Edwin Curtis Bruce Bamberg, S. C. To thine ol n self he true.

It is a :ommon sight to see him calmly strolling on his hands icross the backs of the seats in the electrical class- oom, while learning about the wonders of electricity. Pinkey seems especially fond of the guard room, laving occupied the adjoining suite of rooms seve ral imes.

Jud comes from the romantic and his- torical (?) city of Douglas, which, unfor- tunately, is not on the map, but should be. We all had a very good opinion of Judson until he signified his intention of taking Crider. We were then afraid that he would succumb to the rules of that much be- loved Professor, as had all his predecessors. It ap- pears, however, that he is an exception to the rule, and is still every inch a man. His love for ' Straw- berries and Cherries caused him many a hard race ; however, he was lucky enough to get out with only three days behind the bars. His excellent mili- tary figure was discovered early in his Soph, year, and since then he has stood well in the Colonel ' s sight. His intention is to go back to Lancaster and show those people how to graft apple and peach trees on the native scrub oaks. His many friends predict for him a success in whatever he undertakes. -31 I — __ John Lemmon Cathcart WlNNSBORO, S. C. He rvas lo every man a friend.

He joined us with a smile, and has continued to greet each of us with that same friendly and encouraging smile. With this and his friendly disposition, he had a combination that won for him the friendship of every man with whom he came in contact. Ribs was one of the most popu- lar of his class. In Ribs rat year, he displayed some knowledge of military ability, but the Colonel found him too true to his friends, and never allowed him to complete the first degree in Corporalship. His business ability has served many a good cause in both class and athletic affairs. K $ is Hugh Robinson Chapman Liberty, S. C.

He was well advanced for his age. and has kept the advan- tage. It is seldom that you find such an old head on such young shoulders. By his studiousness and natural ability he has won the respect of his professors and fellow students. Many are the times that his ability to juggle figures and manufacture formulas kept us from being late with our Sam experiments.

Bill claims to be the best man in town for burning out ammeters. After cultivating a taste for Drill and Reveille, he showed remarkable military development, capturing a Ser- geant and later a .Senior Private. Had he gone out for track, we know that he would have been one of the fastest in the Piedmont region, as is proved by his remarkable speed the night he barely escaped cap- ture — ask him from where. Though he claims mem- bership, he is not devoted to the teachings of the Bachelors ' Society. Bill has an unlimited store of ability, and this, coupled with his love for high art, and his fund of common sense, makes the man.

Give him an easy chair, stick a good cigar in his mouth, and call the name of some good-looking girl, and you have one of the best companions in existence.

In fact, we may say he is a woman-hater, for so far Ted has refused to surrender to Cupid. Give him his pipe and a good, hearty dinner, and the world is his. His chief delight is to invest all of his money in good eats down at the cafeteria. Ted is a splendid Bull Artist, and he has already talked himself into a good job with the General Electric Company, of which he soon expects to become president.

After two years ' work in a machine shop, he returned in the fall of 1914 to master the intracacies of electricity. His many witty sayings concerning the letters he receives lead us to believe that he and one Winthrop maiden are on the eve of joining hands for life.

Midget entered Clemson in the fall of 1913 with the intention of so broadening his knowl- edge of electricity that he could succeed Mr. Edison at this great man ' s death. Midget has made an effi- cient scholar, and we see no reason why he cannot carry out his intention. In his early life at Clemson, he was deeply in- terested in Winthrop, but now he has a soft spot in his heart for Anderson College. His small size and pleasant dispo- sition have won hosts of friends, who are sure of his success. We will not be surprised to hear of Midget ' s designing a white way for North Main Street, in Anderson, as he claims that this street is badly in need of more light. If he does not get tangled up with a Live wire, he will surely succeed. -55- William Arledge Matthews Clover, S. C. An honest man is the noblest lDort( of Cod.

He joined our ranks in 13, and is one of the few who have faithfully stuck it out to the end. Ekky came here with the intention of being a great Sleinmetz, but upon finding that it took quite a bit of his favorite subject, calculus, he deserted the army of spark raissrs and sought refuge under the odorous banner of Dickie. We were once wont to believe that Ekky was destined to become a bachelor, but recent developments seem to show us that we were entirely wrong. But be that as it may, we do know that he is a very promising young chemist, as all of the professors will testify. A cheerful smile, a quick wit, and an ever-pleasant countenance are a few of his possessions which are sure to bring him success. He leaves with our best wishes. -57- c Jerry Hamilton Moore Florence, S. C. Oh, iall( not to me of a name great in story; The days of our youth are the Jays of our glory.

Perchance a Clemson expert told Jerry of Clemson College as they sped by Calhoun on their way home. Jerry, thinking that he would like such a place, escaped from his protector at Central, and walked back to Clemson, reaching here just in time to matriculate with the Class of ' 16. Brush, his room-mate, persuaded him to join the Class of 17, hence Jerry remained away from College one year, falling in with our clacs. Jerry, by his noble, honest, upright life, has won the confidence of all who know him, and we wish for him continued success and hap- piness. -58- Joseph James Murray Edisto Island. S. C.

Daddy, as he is known to the boys, has had a varied and checkered career. He has traveled extensively over this fair land of ours, usually in his own private box car. Daddy is one of Hobo ' s most trustworthy henchmen. He is a whole-hearted, good- natured, happy-go-lucky chap, and was never known to worry. As a student he has few equals. He started out in athletics by playing splendid class football in his fresh- man and sophomore years, and bid fair to make some one hustle for a place on varsity, when unfortunately his athletic career was ended by a broken ankle. His hearty laugh and ready wit are no doubt the causes of his popularity among his fellow students. He is known and loved by all his com- rades. These qualities insure for him much success in life. Great things are expected of Daddy, and we know that we will not be disappointed. M Arthur Edward Nowell, Jr. Charleston, S. C. had rather he right than he president.

Some day Charleston will be proud to claim him as one of her sons, because he is of the kind who never gives up until he wins. Clemson would be fortunate if it could have more boys like Arthur. Everybody who knows him will tell you this about him: he is square. Don ' t think from his nickname that Sarge is a mili- tary man. Far be it from that. He is much more likely to show Dr. Steinmetz something about elec- tricity than he is likely to show a great degree of militarism. Arthur will make a success in life, no matter what line of endeavour he may follow, be- cause he has those qualities in his nature which com- mand the respect of all men.

Therefore, he left the Little Vil- lage by the Sea and journeyed to Clemson, to pursue his course. He specialized in electricity, and, if reports are true, he will be a second Steinmetz before long. His jovial disposition, cheerful smile and amiable qualities cause him to be admired and his com- pany sought by everyone. Pat has had the pleasure of making sad hearts glad for three years by delivering letters from the boys ' sisters (?) and dads. He has been a very active student while at Clemson, and believes in doing every- thing right. Pat is not only popular with students and faculty, but even more so with the fairer sex, and his popu- larity has been the cause of his second nickname, Strong- heart.

By his characteristic hard, earnest work, we knew that he expected to do great things. Steadman specialized in Chemistry, with the intention of discovering some new element, and thus have his name written in the pages of the History of Chemistry. His winning smile and quiet ways have made for him numerous friends and won the hearts of many of the fairer ssx. He never fails to meet the mails from Anderson and Winthrop, and is seldom disappointed. The only thing that prevented the class of 17 from producing a military genius was that Pat didn t join barracks life until his last year. Being one of high aspirations, he was inclined lo be military when he first entered barracks. but he soon decided to be loyal to the Senior Privates and not desert the good cause. -69- —  V Gerald Rudolph Tyler Windsor.

After finishing Soph, the lure of the West overcame him. and he found himself shocking wheat on the sunny plains of Kansas. Like a true sport. Pres. spent all his earnings in Kansas City, and then boarded a through freight and hoboed back to the old Palmetto State. He again entered Clemson and completed his Junior year most successfully. He was again seized by the rambling fever, so he betook himself away on a journey which landed him at the ' Frisco Exposition. After lemaining away for nearly two years. Pres. joined the ranks of the class of 17. and became an indispensable member of the Architeclural section. Tyler has shown himself to be a man in the true sense of the word, and has made a host of friends, including both faculty and student body.

Lub is one of those happy-go-lucky fellows who always let the other fellow do the worrying. He can go to a class, with- out having cracked a book, with as cheerful a counten- ance as you ever saw, and what is more, he has the knack of making the professor think that he knows all about the lecson. As a military man he has always taken high rank, due especially to his deep bass voice and military mien. Lades has a cheerful, pleasing disposition, which makes for him friends wherever he goes.

Bob, by means of hard and diligent study, has made an envi- able record. It is said that Bob always knows less about his lessons than anyone else until he is called on. Judging from Bob ' s military rec ord you would think that he is a very quiet and bashful boy, but this is not the case; he is always full of fun, and is continually thinking of some prac- tical joke. Bob ' s winning way and happy-go-lucky man- ner has won him many friends. He never lets pleasure interfere with duty, but when there is a dance, or girl in sight, it so happens that Bob has no duty.

Since joining the ranks of the Best Class in the fall of 1913, Warren has been steadily grow- ing in popularity with his fellow-students, and also with his instructors, both in the classroom and on the campus. He is especially gifted along literary lines, and has rapidly forged to the front in this branch of student activity, and he has handled well the trusts placed upon him. Even though he was not a military aspirant, he has easily risen to the rank of First Lieutenant. A ladies ' man through and through is W.

Bill decided to specialize in Horticulture in order to carry out a project of his in regard to peach buds. He hopes to carry his scheme to per- fection, and at last come out the winner of the pret- tiest Peach of them all. When that happy day comes, he will settle down to a life of contentment and ease. His specialty for things of a fruity and flowery nature helped to make him one of the few possessors of the mighty grip.

Early in life he caught a gleam of the value of a trained mind, so in the fall of ' 13 he entered Clemson.

His college days were devoted, not solely to pleasure, but to those things that would best prepare him for the hardships of life. Like every one. Bill has his faults, but looming up before his faults is that silent greatness that cannot be hid- den. Character is an enviable possession, being the true measure of manhood, and Horace is to be envied, for he possesses this God-given quality.

But, we have existed as a body of college boys for four years, and it is of this existence that I propose to write. If I should seem to speak in a slightly boastful manner, just remember that, I pay tribute to whom tribute is due. So, let us look briefly at some of the things that have occurred — for it would be impossible to note all the little things — during the four years that we have spent in the bounds of the great city (?) of Clemson College. Although it was in September of 1913 when we first gathered here, the campus at once became green, as if it were spring- time. Those were great times for most of us — great in many ways — but greatest in trouble it seems to a great number of us. But we soon became accustomed to the perplexi- ties, the troubles, the trials, and the joys (?) of ratdom. Our number decreased slightly during the session, as it always must, for there are always those who fail to stand the tests of a college life. But, for those of us who stood the test, June of 1914 marked the passage of one milestone on the road to Diplomaville. We came back in September of 1914 as Sophomores — a much wiser bunch than a year before, at least in appearance and actions. Doubtless we felt, as all Sophomores are inclined to feel, that the college could not exist without us. We were wise fools then — such fools that we did not know how big fools we were (Jojo). We met many new and difficult studies waiting for us along the path of Sophomore. All of us soon became familiar with the extremely masculine voice that we had heard from the Chemistry Building the year before, exclaiming, Young gentlemen, you must get this. We learned that it was useless to hurry to our English classes, because for the benefit of those who came in late, all would be repeated.

TicfcV t- oTK THE JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1914 the greenest. scaredest. and ugliest bunch of fellows ever herded in one place assembled at Clemson College to start through the old mill. All were frightened to death, — stage fright, I dare say, is nothing when compared to the fear in the heart of a Rat. Soon, we found that our fright was neither supposed nor imaginary, for shortly the Sophs showed us that they were the cocks of the walk. The trials and tribulations that we endured at the hands of these h cats were various and numerous. We entertained them bv buying bath and reveille tickets: by taking sudden flights during our sleep; by making down beds; by cleaning up rooms; by renovating old guns, etc. Probably, our most popular play was The Leaning Over and Grasping the Lower Chair Round. This play met with marked success whenever it was given a try out. — at least, we always received an abundance of applause, not by word of mouth, but by the laying on of hands. Finally, after a most miserable year, we returned to our homes, thanking the good Lord that He had given us the endurance to withstand the mightv onslaughts during the year, and earnestly hoping that He would give us the strength to make a strong come-back. The next September we came back strong, both in number and spirit; in fact, we should not have objected if school had opened its doors a month sooner. The first recognition of the class 18 was attained when our invincible football eleven snatcheci the class championship last year. This victory put our men in the limelight, and showed the determined spirit of victory that the class has always displayed. Not only did we shine in the football world, but also on the baseball diamond. Four of our men secured permanent berths on the varsity squad. On the basketball court, we also had members. Two of our number made varsity, one of them being a star. Tennis, too. found our men ardent sup- porters, both members coming from our Soph, class. Lastly, we had a goodly number of men on the track, and those who were able to keep pace with them were cutters. Some few months ago, we entered the main building, seeking our entrance into the old mill for the third time. Though many had fallen by the wayside, our numbers surpassed those of any previous Junior class. Realizing that soon we were to march in the footsteps of SENIORS, we put on bold, serious and dignified faces, and acted well our parts. In the Junior year, various events have happened - some with success, others with calamity. Lastly, let us direct our attention to the future for a few moments. A careful survey of the class shows that our desires, at present, are of a four-fold nature; that is, to get the ring, the cap cord, the DIP. and the L-A-D-Y ! ! Fellows, then, let us be up and doing — time is fleeting — and let every man of the class of T8 strive to attain honor, glory and success, for himself, for his class, for his College, for his State, and for his Nation.

Many of us have heard the call to service; not to the front now, but to be prepared. This is the motive of our coming here. hen we arrived, we were assisted in many ways in getting through the line of officers. We were given many cards, and carried through much ceremony. e were made to feel that all those officers were very kind, and that they were going to be very thoughtful of us. But as soon as we were matriculated, we came to our rooms, and there we found the ones who gave us their most careful atten- tion. The Sophomores were at once recognized as our most dreaded adversaries. The many thrilling experiences that we had need not be mentioned; for we took all the fun in the spirit of real sportsmen, and enjoyed it. thinking that our time was soon coming to be masters at these performances. To us Freshmen the year sped by very quickh . We enjoyed the many phases of our work. We are all proud of the record that our class made the first year. The fact that time changes all things is recognized by all. One short year has wrought many changes in our class. Most of us were soon to be known by the name of those whom we had most despised — Sophomores. Several fell by the way- side, some were standing by Old Glory on the border, in patriotic defense of our country; and when v.e returned last September, we found our number greatly decreased. But our ranks were greatly strengthened bv the Sophomore rats, which is the largest number of new men to enter here as Sophomores in any year. Now we are on a great march to progress. In every division of college life we are very active. On the athletic field we have often been made to justly feel proud of the fact that we are members o f the class of ' 19. Some of as good football material as is in the corps is found in our class. We wiH be heard from later. Our basketball prospects are very bright, and we expect to put several men on the varsity baseball team this season. In the literary societies and . M. C. A., our men are taking leading parts. Our share of military honors has been very small, for we haven ' t been pulling ' much in that direction yet. In the classrooms and laboratories we have learned much. All the scientific work has given us a deeper insight into life, and we now appreciate more fully the beautiful world in which we live. W. H.

Such comments as, Happy rats, Wipe that smile off, and Here ' s a pretty rat, could be heard on all sides. We were assigned to rooms, and then barracks life began in earnest. The Sophs were very kind to us from the start; they sold us radiators, bath tickets and reveille tickets at cost; and even condescended to spell their names for us, but, in a manner, that needed no repetition. We began to love the upper classmen, and as a sign of appreciation we made up their beds, swept their rooms, brought their hot water, and kept their water buckets replenished. They returned this love by giving us Christmas presents (?), and even wished a Happy New Year before leaving for the holidays. They have taught, and we have learned. Just watch how kind we will be to the next year Rats. J. W. G., Historian. -90- O. Y. A. Class THE O. Y. A. CLASS ROLL W. C. Pickens. Pres. CLASS OFFICERS J. M. Robertson, Vice-Pres. P. S.

Shall brighten the gloom of the loneliest day. On Saturday night, June 3, 1916, the class of ' 16 were the guests of the rising Seniors at a magnificent banquet, given in the Y. M. C. A. building. The hall was decorated very tastefully with the colors of the two classes, and no man showed lack of taste that night. At half past eight, the Juniors, Seniors, and invited guests, assembled in the lobby, formed in column of twos, and marched into the hall. When all were seated, the toastmaster introduced Mr. S. Littlejohn, who gave a short address of welcome, which was responded to by Mr. C. Rothell, president of the Senior class. Grace was said by Professor Martin, and the banquet proper was done ample justice by every one present. There were none of Franklin ' s poor men there, who had to work to find meat for his stomach; all were like his rich man who had to work to find stomach for his meat. When cigars were lit, Tom Jervey, as toastmaster, made some fitting remarks, and introduced the president of the college, Dr. Riggs. Dr. Riggs rose and began on his customary line of merriment. In fact, putting a stop to his own line seemed a difficult punctuation for even so gifted a man as the Doctor. Dr. Calhoun was called on next, and rose and presented a medal to Jim Henderson for being the best chicken inspector. As all know, Jim ' s favorite type of chickens are those which have free use of their wings, and which have featherless pedal extremities. Toastmaster Tom called on the following men, who gave snappy after-dinner talks: Professor Earle, Mule Littlejohn, Brice Waters, Bill Green, and Dr. Barnette. Of course, Dr. Barnette pulled some good ones, because he always wears a blazing star on his crown. Colonel Jones was next called on, and when he arose with about twenty pages of manuscript, some of the faculty members objected to his reading a sermon at that late hour. The guests were breathing silent oaths and wondering where the fight would be. It was a most unique farce, and well played; but soon the joke was discovered, and the hall rang with applause. Colonel Jones then started, and after several fitting remarks, gave an appropriate selection on the Corps. Thus ended the Junior-Senior Banquet of 16, and guests, departing Seniors, and rising Seniors, left the hall with the sentiments of Gilford: Fondman, though the honors of your life Bedecfy your halls, and round your galleries shine In proud display, yet tafye this truth with thee — Virtue alone is true nobility. 92 ' TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeet A TYPICAL NIGHT It was just before the Christmas examinations, the period when nature sleeps, and cadets study and slumber not. The Seniors — so dignified and stern to the outer world were running about from one room to another, their bath robes flapping about their muscu- lar limbs, while bedroom slippers of various hues — not sizes, for all have firm foundations — were play- ing the deuce with under-classmen ' s thoughts. All were impatient for the future, yet dreaded the ordeal through which they were to pass before going home for the holidays. Everyone wanted to see his wife, but no one dared take time to write as much as a post-card ! In short, never had there been such hurry-scurry and excitement since the time when Duckett and Cap ' n Harry attempted to locate a certain cake which had mysteriously disappeared from a Rat ' s room. And why, you ask, was so much excitement prevailing? Simply because the boys need shine their shoes, shave, press their trousers, and get serious for Colonel, not to say anything of their preparation for Sam, Crip, Slim, Hobo, Bald Head, and a host of other-er-alum! In the hours between midnight and reveille, all grew peaceful. Toes protruded from the foot of the bed, and the bugs ate their nightly meal. Suddenly someone yelled to the man next door, Close that darned fog-horn in there! A lone black cat perched himself on top of the kitchen smokestack and gave vent to a series of squalls calculated to wake the dead. Grow- ing more and more eloquent at each unsuccessful attempt at assassination from nearby windows, he was finally struck by a work of art, which sent him hurtling to the ground. The Rat on Pig, who had been turned at 1.30 A.M., was now in the hall busily engaged with pencil and paper working at the cord of wood problem. Suddenly with a flourish of his lead stick, he finished the problem and rushed into his room, saying, I ' ve finished, but it didn ' t do a darn bit of good. -93- TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen About this time two Sophs happened to run together on a certain hall. Then occurred some whispering and tip-toeing down the hall ; a door was suddenly opened, and a fiendish noise resounded through the hall as a bed which had recently turned aeroplane came crashing to the floor. Then was heard the sound of swift-running feet as the Sophs made good their escape and parted for the night. But lo ! the noise had scarce ceased when Buck appeared on the scene. X ith the wishes of a Solomon he visited every room on the hall, arousing the sleepers, and feeling of their pulses. But since it takes someone smarter than a man from the Citadel to keep up with the rounders at Clemson, Buck failed miserably, and was cheated of his prey. However, he was given many expressions of sympathy by Ulysses Grant, Military Fulmer, and Butler Ellis, who had been awakened by the noise, and had come to investigate. Hiding his chagrin as best he could, Buck retired to his den of con- fiscated art and tomorrows delinquency. Lntil five o ' clock nothing more occurred, if we except the heave nly dreams in which a table, set for two, piled high with roasted turkey and other exhi- bitions displaying the culinary art played a most im- portant part. At five o ' clock the band, always on time at formations — a specialty made in punctual attendance at reveille — began to play the funeral march for a Rat track meet. A few renditions of Home, Sweet Home, with a laundry list accompaniment, and the barracks seemed alive with young manhood. All with one accord bounced out of bed, dressed hurriedly, disposing of their valet service for the morning, and made a rush for the reveille formations. Tom Spratt broke his good record of nearly three years ' standing by being late at the formation. Every- one knew that Tom felt very badly about this, but little was it thought that he would serve penance by locking himself in his room for a week. Yet that is what he did, and. strange to say, no one blamed him for this. This being so unusual, it may be necessary to explain that Buck had got his prey for once. After reveille, the janitors and maids cleaned the rooms, the cadets were ushered into the spacious and highly-decorated dining hall, Sarg Sellers shouted grace, and our seats were placed beneath us by white-robed waitresses, and we wondered if we would ever forget the days of chewing gum bull and watered molasses. -94- David Hill Henry prtffeaeuir jltatnii JMtll Hintry For (ho devotion aiul interest he has shown by his Financial aid, in lh publishing of this hook and tor the undivided attention he has given ( nil the College activities, we dedicate this page of ®aps PVXISXScl MktSRSDm ■: s£«kSa ' ±J El J) 97 Col.

There were about eight hundred boys in bar- racks, and there were about the same number of reports circulating around. Spartanburg, Greenville, Anderson, Columbia and Charleston were reported to have been selected as camp sites, but it remained for those who had been told that Anderson was the favored city, to pull the ancient, I told you so. Accordingly on the morning of April twenty-fourth, the corps marched to Cherry ' s Crossing, two miles by road. Blanket rolls, rifles and accoutrements were carried, but many a weary rat could have sworn that he carried a fifty-pound Ostermoor mattress and a German siege gun with a rull supply of ammunition for it. However, everyone managed to get there and crawl wearily aboard the Limited, ' which awaited us at the Cherry ' s station. At length, we pulled out, amid cheers from eight hundred lusty throats. We were off for Anderson, the city of electricity, of hospitality, and last, but not least, of the fair sex. With the speed characteristic of the Blue Ridge trains, the Special rolled swiftly on toward Anderson, arriving there about ten o ' clock. The corps was formed immediately after unloading, and marched to camp to the martial strains of the band. An acute observer might have noticed that each cadet held himself a little straighter or marched with a more military air on this occasion than usual. The presence of the greater part of feminine An- derson might, or might not, account for the differ- ence in behavior. On the arrival at camp, the tents were found up and ready for occupancy, and soon the cadets were busy at the work of stuffing the mattress covers with straw to form the downy couches upon which to woo sweet slumber. This work accomplished, the corps was soon engaged in regal- ing themselves with one of Shorty ' s repasts. With the exception of some poor unfortunates who were on duty, everyone then left camp to meet friends or to take in the scenery at the Palmetto or at the Anderson. That night the manager of the Anderson Theatre gave an informal dance in honor of the corps, which was largely attended. Everyone tried his hand at the gentle art, though many had never been on a floor before. Despite this fact, each gallant cadet was invariably told by his fair companion that he was a fine dancer. Even though he had 36- TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen some gentle misgivings in his mind as to whether the compliment was a sincere one or not, he smilingly returned the compliment with interest, and with undoubted sincerity. When the dance was over, the boys voted it a big success and returned to camp, where they wrapped the draperies of their couches about them and laid down to pleasant dreams. Bright and early next morning the dreamers were awakened by the silvery notes of reveille, and, shivering in the cold morning air, answered to their names at roll-call. Breakfast was the next thing on the program, and it was a much better one than is usual on encampments, a thing which was characteristic of all Shorty ' s meals during our stay at Anderson. Breakfast over, the unfortunates who were detailed for guard duty at- tended guard mount, and soon were patrolling their posts in a military manner. The remainder of the corps went on a drill and dragged themselves up and down the red hills. It was time for dinner when they returned to camp, and it is safe to say the corps, individu- ally and as a whole, did justice to the dinner. After dinner the camp was again deserted for the company of friends, mostly of the female persuasion, or for the second glimpse of Palmetto scenery. Three o ' clock, however, found the whole corps assembled at the baseball field, where Clemson was scheduled to meet Wofford, and, unfortunately, went down in defeat. After the game, the boys returned to camp for supper, slightly hoarse from rooting, and slightly downcast over the results of the game. The corps had been invited to an open air reception and dance given by the ladies of Anderson in their honor, and, of course, everyone went. To say the reception was a success would be putting it mildly. Few more enjoyable occasions could be imagined, and it was a very reluctant corps that returned to camp about twelve o ' clock, and both literally and figuratively hit the hay. The remaining days were but a repetition of the former ones, with enough variety to make them pleasant: in the morning, drill; in the afternoon, a quiet stroll with the lady of your choice; at night, a dance, a party, or simply a date, with, of course, a visit to the Palmetto edged in between times. On Wednesday the corps was saddened by a telegram from Dr. Riggs. saying that Col. M. B. Hardin had died suddenly. All duties were suspended from eleven to twelve o ' clock that day. the hours of the funeral, out of respect to that grand old man, whose life and the life of Clemson College had been so closely associated. Any account of the encampment would be incomplete without mention of the Furman-Clemson baseball game, or of the dance given by the Anderson ladies on Thursday night. On Thursday afternoon Clemson and Furman played a game which will long be remembered by those who saw it. For seventeen innings the two teams battled without a score, the game being called on account of darkness. That night the second dance was given by the Anderson ladies, and, like the first, it was a success. It was with many regrets that the corps left the hospitable town of Anderson on the twenty-ninth, arriving at College about 7.30 P.M. On every hand were evidences of the good time the boys had had. Perhaps the most striking evidence was the general air of regret and sadness with which the corps left ' Anderson. As the marching column came into sight of the tower of the main building, one of the boys was heard to say, We are now at the end of a perfect day; yes, the end of six perfect days, which remark, 1 think, voiced the sentiments of the entire corps. 137 ' TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen OUR DRESS PARADE 7 his is about the way it happens. Or as well as I can tell. Now imagine you are on Parade Ground, Hear the bugle and the bell. Fall in, is the sharp command , And each cadet, wi ' .h gun in hand, And spotless gloves all snowy while, Stands attention and dresses right. The roll is called ; Each answers, Here. Then, Count off, bawls the Sergeant To the company standing there. He turns them over to the Captain, And the Captain, in due course, Draws his trusty sabre. And then inspects his force. He presents them to the Major, Who lakes the force in hand. An d puts them through their paces With an old and practiced hand. When on the field of battle. And dressed up in good style. The Colonel takes a hand in it. And drills them for a while. When he thinks he has had enough. And the fellows think so loo. He cuts loose wilh his last command, Which is simply, Pass in review. Then the Major bellows loudly, Column of squads, first company squads right, And the band begins a-lhundering And snorting with all its might. Then down the field in grand array, With sabres drawn and banners gay. They pass the Colonel, Eyes right, And still the band thunders with all its might. And on they go marching, Co marching in review. They are a noble set of fellows; They are all men, through and through. Now, this is very pretty. This our dress parade. When viewed by an onlooker, Who is standing in the shade. But if he had to shoulder a gun. And go marching in review. You would find he would change his opinion As sure as one plus one make two. By J. H. J. 138— mum  $n Af ttiiscN M ' dn. -I- O. I 139 TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen THE FIRST DRILL M. M. Brice, ' 17 (Apologies to Mr. E. A. Poe) Once upon a noonday dreary, while I wandered weak one! weary. Over lo the beckoning gun-rack. j us l beside ihc open door. On the locker-end a-hanging, si}ddenly there came a clanging. As of someone loudly hanging, banging at some hidden foe. Tis some fire bell, I muttered, telling of some fire ' s roar ; Only this and nothing more. Presently, my mind grew brighter, and my memory lighter, lighter. I hesitated then no longer; stepped on through the open door. But the clanging then had ceased, and I thought I ' d have some peace ; But my ears Were now assailed by a strange and muffled roar. And I then resolved within this mystery lo now explore. Precisely now or nevermore. Presently, there stepped a soldier, with a gun upon his shoulder, From a dark an d dingy cell upon the grimy hallway floor: And his gloves were pure and spotless, and his shoes Were blackened dolless, As he ..wiftly to the hallway his gigantic burden bore; Down the broken-looking hall-steps his gigantic burden bore; Down the hall-steps — then some more. Stranger, quoth I, thing of evil; evil, still, tho ' man or devil; By the officers of this college — by those officers we adore, Tell, oh! tell, I do implore you, tell a Rat who does not know you, W hat means all this roar and clamor that doth constantly outpour; Tell me this, and nothing more. Grasp thy gun, thou ignoramus! I could hear above the clamors; Grasp thy gun and rush so swiftly where you ' ll find the Clemson Corps ; Then creep slowly into line at any opening you may find ; Or you will soon be walking round the square before the barracks door — The square they call the extra square, just before the barracks door, And there you ' d walk forcvermorc. Then I took this soldier ' s word — flew to ranks just like a bird — But the Sergeant long had passed the honored name that I then bore; And ' twas soon that I was Walking — ne ' er a word or sentence talking — On the fields and lands before me, that I ne ' er had walked before. To the corporal then quoth I, Will this walking ne ' er be o ' er? And he answered, Nevermore. 40- 141 THLETIC IATION ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS Prof. J. W. GANTT, President S.

Littlejohn 142- TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen LOOKING BACK |NE year after Clemson was established, a baseball team and a foot- ball team were organized to play the other colleges of South Caro- Oral lina. The improvement of the teams was so rapid for the next few (sO years that games were scheduled with the large colleges of the Southeastern States. From that time down to the present day, the history of athletics here has been one continuous struggle. How well these fights have been fought, the preceding Taps can tell better than one short paragraph. It is sufficient to say that every man in the corps can look back with the greatest pride on the fight that the Tigers have shown. Defeat seemed to make the teams more determined than ever to do or die. Athletics, above all other activities, has kept down inter-class feelings and petty clannishness, and makes the whole corps feel that they are united in accomplishing one end. It has taught us that singleness of purpose, backed by deep interest for a good cause, together with determination and perseverance, can accomplish the impossible. By bringing every individual in close contact with every other, athletics is the making of the student body. Through it, more than by any other factor here, we have learned that it is the part of a man to struggle on, though the odds be against him, and hope seems vanished ; and that the word that stands for suc- cess, whether it be on the athletic field or in the game of life, — is FIGHT. 143- THE TIGER ' S VICTORY ' I was a haughty Gamecock me ' ui On the Carolina field. And his feathers ruffled brightly, As he crowed he would not yield. But he Utile thought our Tiger Was strong as he was of old; He did not of victory resting On the Purple and the Co ld. Poor old Gamecock, though it happened Last year that our score was lied, Could your minds have such a vision — Gamecocks on the upper side? When the battle was completed. And the dust rose to the heaven. Zero rested with the Gamecocks ; And with the Tiger — Twenty-seven. 44- §fc55=E«S?

OPP 7 6 26 14 28 27 7 37 3 40 33 45- MAJOR, Halfback In Captain Major we have a genuine display of true college spirit, as well as a splendid exhibition of football. After playing brilliantly for three seasons, Dopey came back this year, taking a postgrad, course, and worked like a Trojan. Handicapped by frequent injuries, he was often kept from displaying the finest qualities of his unquestioned ability. His career, however, was crowned with glory in the memorable Game Cock fray, when in the pink of condi- tion, he played the best game of his life. GEE, Center This is Mutt s third and brightest season of varsity ball. He has played in various positions; first an end. then a fullback, and finally, this season, a center. He developed into a wonderfully accurate passer, and was the hardest tackier on the team. His consistent scrappy game paved the way to his unanimous selection as an All-State center. WITSELL, Quarterback Fish slid into the football limelight by his excellent work for the Sophs in the class games. The following year he won a coveted berth on the varsity squad, where the variety of ball displayed by this lad stamped him a fit nucleus about which to build the next season ' s back field. Besides directing the Tiger ' s attack in faultless style, Fish punts, drop kicks, forward passes, and is a consistent ground gainer. These qualities, plus his Bottry scrap, tag him our ideal leader and captain-elect for 17. MATTHEWS, Tackle Bill is without doubt the best tackle in the State, and has yet his equal to meet in the South. He has been the mainstay of our line, and is always in the game. Bill is 23 years old, and weighs 195. He is fast, is a sure tackier, and can also carry the ball when necessary. His indomitable fight, accompanied by his grim determination to accomplish what he undertakes, has won for him a place on All-State team for the past two years. 146 HARMON, Guard There is one little, low-set, bow-legged fellow, the best men could not root up, and that is Duck Harmon. He played guard, which, under the present offensive system, requires a mighty fast man. Duck was a barrier of strength in the line, and many a plunging attack crashed to its doom against his defense. Although he was laid up for awhile with injuries, we consider this guard position mighty well filled. BANKS, Halfback Although having played the mere role of a sub in many of last year ' s games, this diminutive Stumpy has in one season ' s leap become the individual star of the back field. His sure, clean-cut tackling, linked with his ability to size up plays, tells the secret of his defensive success. But brighter still glistens his offensive fame. He is a for- ward passer of no mean ability, and undoubtedly the best broken field runner in the State. His strongest claim to All-State honors is that he gained on every team he met. , POOLE, Guard Serg started his football career when a Soph. He played class ball so well that he tried his luck with the var- sity squad in ' 15, and although he did not play very much that year, he showed that he would soon develop into a player. He then starred for the Juniors in the class games, and the following season King Bob saw that he had a magnificent end in this lad. He was tried out on the var- sity end, and made good on the jump. This year he was shifted to guard and proved to be a tower of strength on our line, and was selected as All-State guard. WEIHL, End In class games last year, Dutch was the bright and shining star, both defensively and offensively. He has played the role of a scrub for two seasons with a cloud of hard luck hovering him. Injury was the only stumbling block on last year ' s road to a varsity end. This season he has outstripped the Hoo Doo, and we find him among choice selections of All-Stale end. Defensively he was a dandy, taking great pleasure in breaking up interference. 147 HART, Tackle Bub came to us from Washington, and it did not take us long to recognize his gridiron ability. Starting out in the Furman game at a rapid clip, he kept his pace throughout the season. Bub is a big, husky boy, with plenty of scrap. His six feet four inches and 195 pounds certainly look good in a line, and we say that he delivered the goods as a tackle. Bub claims the unique feat of being the first Rat to land a regular varsity berth in many a year. - FINLEY, Quarter In his Rat year, States created quite a sensation by his general ability on the Freshman team. He was substi- tuted in several games last year, and showed uo well at quarter. This season found him alternating with Witsell at the helm of the Tiger offense. States ran the team well, and put up a mighty clever game. He is a good open field runner, and possesses the rare quality of never losing his head. States can also shoot a pass to perfection. .-- BROWN, End Crunk first rolled into football prominence by his defensive ability on the Rat team. Last year he played a scrub end, and later starred in class games. It was his trusty toe that won the cup for the Sophs. The genuine fibre of his football qualities were clearly demonstrated by the fight his 148 pounds put up at guard in the first of the season. He was later shifted to end, where he played ad- mirably well. He did the goal kicking for the team. ADAMS, Fullback Pat has been a member of the squad for three years, playing two years scrub ball, and one year of varsity. He is the fastest man on the team, and one of the fastest that has ever worn a uniform at Clemson. Pat plays fullback and end. He goes down under punts and never fails to get his man. He is great on intercepting forward passes, re- covering fumbles and sprinting for touchdowns. He weighs 180, and is always in the game. 148 NIMITZ, Guard ' Foots, as he is belter known, has been holding down his position at guard in great style. This is Foot ' s ' third year on the squad, and it is by far his best. He returned this year with the determination to win his C, and what- ever he undertakes, he accomplishes. He is only 20 years of age. weighs 182. and is full of fight. We are sorry that he will not be back next fall, as he is one of the hardest workers on the field. A ALFORD, Guard and Tackle ' Tubby ' stepped into the gridiron limelight by his stellar work on last year ' s Junior team. This was his first year on the squad, and there is no telling what he would have done if he had only been a candidate the three previous ones. Tubby weighs 190 pounds, is fast as a streak, and always in the game. Built close to the ground, he is the kind that make the ball go over on downs; and what the Tigers need is more like him. CANNON, Tackle This was Bill ' s first season as a regular varsity man. being used as a substitute in many of last year ' s games. Although hampered by injuries, he made every ounce of his 170 pounds count, and played in great style. Bill is fast and a sure tackier. His fight and aggressiveness have proven a wonderful asset to the line ' s performance. Next season will probably find Bill developed to maturity, when he will be able to give a better display of his finer qualities. vt. BRANDON, Center and Guard Tom. as he is known by some, and Swifty. by his fellow team-mates, has been a good, steady man the whole year; and we were glad to see him get away with his letter this season. He plays either guard or center, and is the equal of any man on the field at either of these positions. Swifty weighs in the neighborhood of 185 pounds, and is always in the game. Swifty ' s loss will be sorely felt by the Tigers next season. 149 DUCKETT, Guard and End This lad made his appearance on the field a few days after matriculating three years ago. The first year he starred for the Freshmen, and the following year was a member of the scrubs. Although not a regular, he played in most of this season ' s games, and held his own. He will in all probability be one of the main stays of next year ' s line. He is only eighteen years old. and weighs around 178 pounds. He is a good offensive man. and is excellent on defense. SAMS, Fullback This is Sams ' s second year on the squad, having played a scrub tackle last season. This year more weight was needed in the back field, so he was shifted to fullback be- cause of his ability to carry the ball. Sams started out in promising style, and we feel sure that he would have made a fullback that you read about had he not been hampered by injuries. He is an excellent defensive man, and we pre- dict a big, bright season for him next year. .: JERVEY, Quarter and Halfback It was not so much Tom ' s brilliant performance that has won for him our heartfelt appreciation. His was a more elevating and lofty honor. It was his magnificent dis- play of true college spirit. Without doubt the hardest worker on the field. Tom was one of the select few who faced the hardships and privations of a strict training. He directed the charges of the scrubs for three seasons, and was a sub in many of this year ' s games. Tom is fast, and a hard tackier. HUNTER, Manager We have already discussed the various players; and now last, but far from least, we come to a totally different type of star; one who has had more trials and contentions than any other man in the athletic world at Clemson. Jimmy has borne the burden of keeping track of this year ' s Tigers and the numerous cubs, which is far from an easy task. Jimmy ' s sterling qualities shone supreme on every occasion, and his martyrdom has won our heartiest appreciation. 150 151 TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen F§OT BALL MM The call to togs, to which about eighteen veterans responded, for the 16 campaign, was sounded at Camp Sapphire on September 4. Most of our high hopes and anticipations were centered about Coach Hart, a former Georgetown star and assistant coach; so much so, that the corps in their enthusiastic joy did not fully realize the loss of so many of the previous year ' s stars. Coach Hart was ably as- sisted by Country Morris, while Buck Pressley and Mutt Cannon framed the charges of the Rats. All eyes were focused on the initial game of the season, which was with the strong Furman aggregation on the campus, as it marked the inauguration of the open or new style of play, a style so essential to the success of a light team of our calibre. We regarded the game as a mere practice affair, and, anticipating a repetition of last year ' s track meet, we entered it perhaps a trifle over-confident. However, our high hopes were shattered in the very first few minutes of play. 1 he fight began with our poor kick-off, which was returned to midneld. From here Furman marched to our ten-yard line by straight rushing tactics, only to lose the ball on downs. A few minutes later they succeeded in carrying it over for a touchdown by a similar march, but failed to kick goal. Our line, which up to this time sscmed dazed by the surprising strength of Furman attack, took a decided brace, and from then on our goal was never in danger. With a few minutes left to play, Harris, by a series of end runs, carried the ball to Furman ' s I 5-yard line. Witssll then called signals, which set the men for a pass. Dingle shot the ball behind the goal line into the scrambling crowd. Leaping into the air, Bill grabbed the sailing oval from above his head, and apparent defeat turned to a 7 to 6 victory when Crunk, a moment later, kicked an easy goal. One week later, the team, accompanied by nearly 300 ardent enthusiasts, journeyed over to Anderson for the annual clash with the strong Georgia team. Georgia had a decided advantage in point of weight, as their team was heavier than ours by twenty pounds to the man. Ii was this pre- ponderance of beef and muscle that gradually wore down our light team and piled ujj a 26 to score. Despite one-sided appearance of the game, the Tigers played a great game, showing a marvelous im- provement over their previous week ' s exhibition. 1 hey fought hard from beginning to end, and Georgia was forced to put forth its best efforts for every foot of ground gained. Fumbles were frequent on both sides. The weather was extremely warm, and robbed the play of much snap and vigor. For the Tigers the outstanding feature of the game was the playing of Mutt at center. Harris played his usual great game, being our best ground-gainer. On October 14 we entertained the husky Tennessee team on the campus. A shakeup had oc- curred in the line, in an endeavor to strengthen the weak points as evidenced by our previous games. Crunk and Serg swapped places, and Dutch was stationed at right end. The team had improved by leaps and bounds, and although we entered the game still in the early stages of development, we presented a fairly balanced machine. The game was indeed stubbornly fought, and was replete with brilliant play on both sides. Both sides resorted to frequent punting, Tennessee having the advantage. 152 ' TA PS for Nineteen-Seyenteen In the third quarter, the Tiger was plainly the aggressor, and on four successive plays by Witsell and Banks, carried the ball 55 yards down the field. But just at this point an unfortunate 1 5-yard penalty for holding put a crimp in our immediate touchdown anticipations. Back and forth surged the ball, until the last few minutes of play, when they worked it to our three-yard line. An offside penalty re- lieved the tension somewhat. Here three successive line plunges melted against our stone wall defense. The corps, in their frenzy of excitement, were shouting encouragement, and pleading for their warriors to withstand the final attack. The crucial point of the game had come, and Dame Fortune turned her back upon us. An offside penalty on the next play advanced the ball to our three-yard line, and with it a first down. On the thud line buck the visitors succeeded in pushing it over by inches, and a moment later kicked goal. Tennessee then kicked off, and Witsell returned ball to 23-yard line. On the next play they intercepted a pass and ran for the second touchdown, again kicking goal. It was indeed a hard game to lose, especially 14 to 0. Then came the Auburn battle on October 20. The Tigers entered the game without the services of Brown, Gee, or Major; and finished it with almost an entire scrub team. Injuries, and the fear of further injuries, just previous to the Gamecock Fray, made this move advisable as soon as the apparent outcome of the game had been decided. Fighting against such overwhelming odds as experienced material and over twenty pounds per man surplus weight, the sterling qualities of that old Tiger scrap have never been more pronounced. The powerful Auburn backs found our line a tower of defense, and soon learned that it was more advantageous to skirt our ends. In fact, two of their four touchdowns came as a result of long end runs. The offensive feature for the Tigers was a 60-yard run through the entire Auburn team by Stumpy. When Thursday of Fair Week rolled around, the development of the Tiger machine had well- nigh reached maturity. Each man, tuned and primed to his highest pitch, was in the pink of condition, and, above all, bosomed a sincere determination to avenge last year ' s tie. Carolina won the toss, but that was all. Their efforts proved of no avail, and from the beginning the outcome of the game was never in doubt. The Tiger simply enjoyed a grand chicken feast, as the 27 to score indicates. The Game- cocks simply could not cope with the cunning and the speed of the Tiger attack. Unfurling a series of dazzling fake plays and forward passes, which frequently caught the Gamecock off his guard, the Tiger advance swept forward like a whirlwind for long gains. Playing their best from whistle to whistle, the Tigers ' line held like a stone wall and was simply impregnable to the Carolina attack. To pick an individual star from their midst would be doing the others an injustice. Dopey was clearly the hero of the backfield, playing the best game of his career. Fish and Stumpy also played a great game, and formed an excellent pair of running mates for their able leader. After a lapse of fifteen days, which was far more detrimental than beneficial, we stacked arms against the Virginia soldiers. During this interval the strenuous practice, which was designed to com- pensate an open date in the schedule, produced many cripples. Accordingly, we faced V. M. I. with a considerably weakened front. Despite this, however, the Tiger, by his trickery and speed, marched straight down to the shadow of their goal posts, only to lose the oval by a fumble. V. M. I. was forced to kick out, and then began a fresh attack which resulted in the loss of Major through injuries, when we were within striking distance of their goal. Fish ' s try for a field goal went wide. One after another, in rapid succession, the Tiger backfield were forced to retire with injuries. Disheartened by this seemingly fatal act of providence, our defense crumbled before their ever increasing onslaught. The aggressiveness of Tiger comeback was not to be denied, however. An air attack, which was started in the last quarter, netted consistent gains, Adams taking a pass from midfield for a touchdown. The final score, which under ideal conditions should have shown a Tiger victory, resulted in a 37 to 7 wallop. 153- TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen With only two days of practice and two long, tiresome days of travel as our period of recupera- tion, we met the best the Citadel has ever had to offer in Orangeburg on November 16. Fish and Dopey, our two most effective weapons of offense, were out of commission, and we were accordingly kept on the defensive for the greater part of the first three-quarters. A fifteen-yard penalty and a poor punt twice placed the Bull Dog within striking distance of our goal in the third period. On his second attempt, Weeks lucked a freak boot across the bar by inches. Assuming the offensive in the last quarter, we carried the ball into their territory and kept it there. However close we approached their goal, the necessary punch to span the coveted gap seemed ever wanting, and, when the final whistle blew, the Tiger was forced to bow in obeisance to the tune of 3 to for the first time in the athletic history of the two institutions. P. C. came next on November 23, as a preliminary to our Turkey Day Game. Advantage was taken of the opportunity for many substitutions. Resorting to the old style of play, the Tigers piled up 40 points. The result was indeed encouraging, as it indicated the evident return of team work. The following week brought the final test of the season. Old man Dope favored Davidson. However, the Tiger, full of vim and optimism, was determined to fight to the last. But the fierceness of their attack was too much for our light team, and it was not until the third quarter that our grim determination was ushered forth. With a decided brace in the line, our offense, led on by Dingle, displayed real ability. In the final period Davidson started an air raid which netted two more touch- downs, so that when the taps for the football season was sounded, we stood on the short end of a 33 to score. 154- H£ It was on a pleasant morning in the month of October that President Riggs slowly rose from his seat on the chapel rostrum, and, amid the smiles of the Seniors and the tears of the underclassmen, announced that only Seniors would be permitted to attend the State Fair. Of course, the Seniors would be allowed to attend only on account of the — er —educational advantages. It was noted by Pat the next day that a number of letters from Seniors to parents and to members of feminine institu- tions were enclosed in the mail-bag. On the afternoon of October 23, there might have been discerned by a vigilant eye a number of vehicles, ranging upward from Jitneys to wheelbarrows, loafing around barracks number 3. At 23 seconds past 4 P. M., a horde of cadets with golden cap-cords were seen rushing from the buildings; and instantly there was a charge on the city of Cherry ' s Crossing; some going in vehicles, others a la infantry. It was indeed a difficult task for the police force of the city to hold the boys in check. Then, amid the yells of these young gentlemen, the train lit out for Columbia at 11.01 4 P.M.; as she slacked up at the freight yards, she was immediately emptied of her cargo, and rolled into the city with none on board. The city of Columbia was then sacked. By twelve o ' clock, ten restaurant waiters had fainted from exhaustion, the elevators in the three popular hotels had been destroyed, and two policemen had resigned their positions. Early the next morning, the gray-clad soldiers were seen proceeding to the fair-grounds. Until twelve o ' clock, they inspected the mules, the chickens, the flying-jenny, the hot tamale stand, the informa- tion bureau, and other objects of interest. Then, at twelve o ' clock the bomb exploded. As the town-clock boomed out the hour, and the dinner whistle shrieked, a football soared gracefully into the air; thereby starting the greatest struggle that has been pulled off since Jack Johnson attempted to haze Mr. Jesse Willard. Those cadets who forgot to ask about the results at the time will be pleased to know that the Tigers won by the score of 27 to 0. Now, the ancient chronicles are in dispute as to what this motley crew of wanderers next did. One states that they camped on the Columbia College grounds; another that they scattered over the State; and still another claims that they were seen in the fair grounds the next day. However, we, in our effort to please the common populace, have thrashed the matter thoroly, and have found satisfactory conclusions. Captain Dick was certainly seen on the grounds with a lady from Winthrop; Scout Jeffenes has acknowledged the fact that he was at Columbia College on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday; and it is undoubtedly a fact that George Reaves was seen calmly pacing the streets of Mullins on Saturday afternoon. Then there is no conclusion to draw but that the crowd must have dispersed immediately after the game. 155- ' TA PS for Nineteen-Seyenteen Oh! how glad and blithesome were the hearts during these days! But. alas! what entrancing tear drops glistened in the eyes of the suffragettes Sunday morning. But. no. let us not d vell on these mem ries; we must leave them to their fate. On Sunday evening, the Cherry ' s Limited came slowly under the depot shed of Cherry ' s, and unloaded its cheerful load. At 7.57. the boys slowly walked into their respective domiciles. At 8 P.M., the majority of them were dreaming of home. The professors entered poor on their report for the week beginning October 29. But. though it meant more study for the poor boys, they did not mind it; for they had had a trip that now lives and will forever live in their memories as the greatest trip ever undertaken by them while at this institution. M. M. Brice, ' 17. A ir t ' Hx l ' ' v ■ £ ™ c W NloC YQ . i S Z 156 ' TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen LIFE HISTORY OF A COLLEGE ATHLETE Bill Strength, the great college athlete, was born during the latter part of the nine- teenth century. His father soon determined to prepare him for an athletic career at Clemson. Nothing was withheld from him ; every form of training was lavished on him. One cold day Bill ' s nurse carelessly dropped him from the second story window. The pavement was shattered to pieces, costing the town a considerable sum of money. His dot- ing father, fearing concussion of the brain, wired to Australia for Dr. Quack, the renowned brain specialist, to come at once. Dr. Quack, after a careful examination, pronounced Bill ' s head to be of solid ivory. One morning Bill cautiously escaped from the watchful eye of the careless nurse. As the Appalachian Limited Express rounded the curve, the engineer — alas ! too late — espied the manly youngster on the tack. As his head met the oncoming locomotive, the train telescoped itself, costing the lives of many brave citizens of the State. Mr. Strength, Bill ' s father, despaired of keeping any knobs or hinges on his doors. The andirons were often found bitten in half. One morning when Mr. Strength proceeded to his garage, he found that all his Ford except the crank had mysteriously disappeared. Upon in- vestigation he found that his charming son had digested the Jitney. Bill was indeed a hard guy. Mr. Strength fitted out a $1,647.82% gymnasium in order to keep his boy in training. In this physical laboratory there were two steam compression engines, one pair of 2,000-pound dumb-bells, and a train with twelve steel coaches. These were soon destroyed, but were again and again supplied by his father. Mr. Strength ran a fifty-horse farm, all the manual work being done by Bill. At last, after 18 years of this light labor, this young Hercules, with his Kongo ivory dome, left his sweet home for Clemson. Mr. Strength ' s broken arm was kept in a sling for the remainder of his life because of their sad hand-shaking; and Mrs. Strength carried a scar on her left cheek as long as she lived. When the train rolled into Calhoun, the entire corps was at the station to carry their future champion to barracks. Twenty-nine cadets suffered from broken backs due to this. The President of the College escorted him to barracks after a heart-to-heart conversation with him. The President could not under- stand the meaning of half of his words on account of Bill ' s learning. 157- TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen Football began in reality the next afternoon. Bill taught the boys how to be a hard guy, and at six o ' clock the varsity team was lying in the hospital ward. In order to spare the lives of the members of the team, the Athletic Association furnished him with an 827 horse-power traction to buck against. He was first allowed to practice his tackling processes on various trees on the campus, but, on account of certain timber law, he soon had to discontinue this practice. The season ended with complete success for the Tigers. On the next years schedule could be found the following names of oppos- ing teams: Princeton, Yale, Navy, Columbia, Cornell, Army, and Harvard. After the football season, our young hero went out for the oratorical contest. The judges had to decide to let him represent Clemson, for this ivory-domed cadet threatened to give them a hair-pulling if they did not do so. When Bill arose to address the audience, the spacious auditorium trembled from his mighty treads. Before he began, he drew in a deep breath, and, on ac- count of the vacuum produced in the building, the win- dows trembled, and the ears and eyes of the audience started from their various sockets. The judges at once decided on him for the winner, and the vast building shook with the cheers of the audience. All of the rooms of barracks were in a trash pile, for every room available had been broken over his head and back, and it did not seem to hurt him in the least. One night he was caught out of barracks. The discipline committee shipped our brave athlete, for they valued their lives and property too much. He left while the flag was at half mast. The road from barracks to Calhoun was as good as a shell road, for Bill was gritting his teeth all the way to the station. He returned home and told his father that the boys had hazed him unmercifully, and that he now realized that his consti- tution was too weak for such diggings as Clemson. 58- BASE 159 0 s 160 TA PS for Nineteen-Seyenteen ALL HIS When the curtain was drawn aside for the opening of the basebali season of 1916, the Tiger prospects for a championship team were the brightest in many a year. Practically an entire veteran team, re-inforced by Parker and Martin, and captained by the pep- inspinng Andy, took the field. Summing up their individual virtues, it was one of the heaviest-hitting, one of the best fielding, and one of the fastest teams that has ever borne the Tiger cognomen. And yet, in the face of this praiseworthy but fitting tribute, this wealth of material, with its rich possi- bilities, won comparatively few of their big games. Why? The pitching was not the very best, the hitting really came at opportune times, there was a decided lack of team work, and training was toe often sacrificed for revelry and dissipation. Andy ' s untiring efforts to keep the team straight proved fruitless, and conditions arose among some of the players too lamentable and deplorable to be further discussed. Be it said for Andy, however, he acted well his part. Just lay the blame, fair-minded reader, on whosoever ' s doorstep your unbiased judgment deems it most advisable. The Tigers opened the season on March 27 on the new diamond on Riggs ' s Field in grand style, by defeating West Virginia Wesleyan 4 to 2. The game was featured by the timely hitting of Parker and Vic. A few days later Abe shut out Wofford, holding them to one hit, while his team-mates annexed six tallies. Then came our first defeat, and at the hands of Frskine. Three bungles, a circuit swat and an error, which netted the visitors three runs, forced Chapman to retire in favor of Long.. Hard Times ' rose to meet the occasion, and nine men took the count of three; but with the breaks against them, the Tigers could not overcome this early lead, and the game ended 3 to 2. Taking sweet revenge, and showing a complete reversal of form the following week, the Tigers swamped their previous conquerors in a one-sided fray by the tune of 12 to 3. The game was featured by the heavy hilling of the locals, who secured 15 safe swats. A few days later we entertained the Citadel. And frolic it was — a regular Comedy of Errors on the visitors ' part. Taking advantage of this, and driving the pill to all corners of the lot, the Tigers won two easy victories, 4 to 2, and 16 to I. Following in its immediate wake, we broke even with V. P. I. 2 to 1 tells another tale of heavy hitting and costly errors. However, wifh excellent twirling, and Tiger ' s slow outfield work, the Techites staged a 4 to 3 comeback the following day. Then came two of our worst bobbles of the season. In neither contest was the entire team physically able to 1 usher forth their sterling qualities. The w r eak Wofford team put the first of these twists in the Tiger ' s Tale of victories, while the best we could do with the Furman aggregation was a to game. Two games were then dropped to Georgia in Athens, 4 to 3, and 6 to 4. The first stop of the Northern trip was for two games w r ith Trinity at Durham, N. C. With Captain Andy on the mound, the Tiger sluggers hammered out a 16 to 6 victory. Finding Chapman easy the following day. Trinity turned tables and emerged a 5 to 4 victory. From here the Tigers went to Lexington, and playing the best game of the year, beat V. M. I. 2 to 0. Hard Times was invincible, pitching a no-hit game. The fielding of the team was sensational, and only two men reached 161 TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen first. Two days later, in a loosely played game at Blacksburg. due largely to the results of their con- tinual traveling, the Tigers lost to . P. I.. 10 to 7. Long and Richards were both hit hard and often. A three-game series with Auburn came next. The Tigers started off in promising style, winning the first game 5 to 4, through the effective pitching of Anderson. However, the Tigers looked like a different team the next day. and. aided by listless playing, the heavy-hitting Auburn nine had little or no trouble in winning a double-header by the score of 9 to 3 and 3 to 1 . Trinity was then entertained for a couple of days, and good entertainment did they afford, especially in the second contest, when the heavy-hitting artillery attack, which registered 17 hits and netted 13 runs, displayed its rare form. Trinity was only able to register three tallies. The Tigers won the first contest, which was more exciting, by the score of 3 to 0. The T:gers then went to Anderson to meet the Game Cock for the first time in six years. The first battle was a pitchers ' duel between Adams and ' Andy. the latter having one bad inning, which, aided by a couple of bobbles, netted four runs and the game, the Tigers suffering their first shut-out of the season. A 7 to 5 victory the following day closed a season that, in view of the lost opportunities, can hardly be termed a successful year. With the thought that every cloud has a silver lining, we turn to a realm of supreme brightness, one that bespeaks of our present year ' s prospects. They are undoubtedly tinged with the most encour- agement in many a year. Last season s veteran and enviable infield remains intact, and have most assuredly profited from the past summer ' s playing. The outer gardens and the pitching staff, aided by prospective rat and scrub material, will be well cared for. ith Country Morris to inslill pep and consistent team work, and Parker as leader, the Tigers should be strong contenders for the All- Southern Crown. 62- i Harris WW f ' Mis Morris — r 5ponjo ' - CapT. j §? tt fir • i iyi?Pc mid w 163 BASKETBALL This season we have seen a revival of the basketball at our college. This sport has heretofore been very much neglected, as we had no suitable place to play. This year, however, the new . M. C. A. brought us a good court, upon which we have accomplished some very good work. At the beginning of the year, due largely to Mr. Holtzendorff ' s efforts, a great deal of interest was aroused by class basketball and scrub faculty games. The Freshman class this year had an unusual supply of basketball material. This is the first year since 1912 that we have had a coach for this branch of athletics. Coach Morris, after showing us a few stunts in football, made clear the fact that there is system in basketball. We felt from the start that we were going to have a team to be proud of. and we have not been disappointed. The first two games we played were practice games with Charleston and Seneca High Schools. These resulted in our favor with large scores. The Charleston College game was without special interest, due to the one-sided score, 65 to 16. Our first trip took us to Clinton, where we played one of the fastest games of the season, ending with us on the heavy side of 32 to 22. From there we traveled to Carolina, where the Game Coo!; pecked on us for 33 to 19. However, we made the feathers fly. Greenville Y. M. C. A. played us a good game, which we won by the score of 36 to 30. On the next trip we beat W offord 36 to 31, but struck our Waterloo at Newberry, where they played us hard for 30 to 26. When the Indians came here the following week, we turned the tables on them to the warwhoop of 37 to 29. This was one of the hardest fought games ever seen here. When the Game Cock came here, we plucked his plumage to the tune of 51 to 27. The season ended very successfully, and left us with great hopes for the future. 164- r ■ IT ■ £ •£ - % - N in 165 TRACK The track team of 1916 was not what would be termed ■ if the winning of meets the only tning to be considered.

Adams, and Dick starred. Then came the Davidson meet at Davidson, in which we were defeated by the very close score of 55 to 53. Adams was the individual star of the meet, winning first place in the hundred and in the two-twenty yard dashes, and second in the shot put. Dick won first place in the high hurdles and half mile. Last fall the cross country team, composed of Ellison. Sullivan. Herbert, and Qoing. won the cup in the annua! cross country meet between New berry, the Presbyterian College. Carolina, and Ciemson. The prospects for a successful track team are indeed bright. The old men who are back are: Captain Adams. Dick. Nimitz. Bryan. Sullivan. Finiey. Hutchins. Brown. Baxter, and Herbert.

TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen THE TRIP TO THE BIRTH OF A NATION At half- past three one cloudy, gloomy Saturday afternoon, a bunch of cadets, some clad in cits, some in regs. steadily plod the winding road between the mam building of Clemson and the union depot of Cherry s Crossing. Some of these invested their honest pennies in chewing gum, pea- nuts, and cigaref.es. in order to have something to alleviate the weariness and the pain of the long ride ahead of them. Finally, as the impatience of the corps began to rise, the giant train rolled under the shed and came to a creaking halt. The cadets calmly and gently entered the train, and. after everyone was comfortably sealed, urgently pulled the cord for the departure of the train. Suddenly, with a jerk and a roar, the tram pulled out. gaining headway every moment until it seemed as if we were going to hit the hand-car which was running about 100 feet ahead of the locomotive. However, everyone arrived safely m .Anderson, and made hasty departures to the restaurants and cafes in the various parts of the city. After the completion of the sumptious feasts, t he group broke up still more, some going to the homes of relations, friends, and sweethearts, some visiting the va rio u s department stores, and some gaily pacing the p aved streets, viewing the scenery of the city. At eight o ' clock all of the boys were in the Anderson Theatre, impatiently waiting the appearance of the famous picture. THE BIRTH OF A NATION. As would be expected, the boys know a good thing when tbey see it. and everyone enjoyed and appreciated the spectacle of our fathers and grandfathers building up our new nation. A few minutes after the s- erurn tram pulled out of Anderson, leaving eleven or twelve unfortunate cadets, who. upon their return to college, were required to enter the haven of the guard- room and view the outer world through the bars. As the cars rolled gracefully along the street rails, and a soft and wintry ram gently pelted the windows of the train, many heavy hearts were contemplating the future travel along the return road. It was not long before the train came to a halt, and the melancholy cadets dismounted from the cars. Some were so fortune :atch Jitneys. but had to dismount and lift these vehicles from the mud at various points on the road. However, tne majority had to plod along the saturated road. The darkness aided the gloom of the situation. Rains pelted from the skies: slippery mud slipped under the feet of the weary pedestrians; but the dauntless spirit of the boys was not to be broken. Some of the Rats had their n -coats nrr ad under their arms in order not to get them wet. Water and mud flowed over the sfaoe-toj s. Cadets Mere often found calmly lying in the mud at the side of die road in order to rest their weary limbs. The slippery ' road threw manv an unwary cadet in the mud. Finally, the drenched, mud-spattered cadets crawled into barracks. Some found their beds float- ing majestically down the halls. At about three o clock all were calmly snoozing the sleep of the just. Next day various articles of uniform could be found hanging from the barracks windows. Not one of this crowd regrets this tnp. notwithstanding the fact that many uniforms were ruined. .All will look back with pleasure to the night of mud when we attended the Birth of a Nation m Anderson. 196 L97 PICK J.

X. -232- ' TA PS for NlNETEEN-SEVENTEEf DURING THE INTERMISSION The music stopped, the shufflng of feet ceased, and each fair damsel caught the arm of her kaydet partner and lined up for refreshments. When the light refreshments were served, one couple was seen to proceed out of the dance hall and take up a position on the southeast corner of the front steps of the Agricultural Hall. At least three minutes passed before a word was uttered, but at last the maiden started, Don ' t believe I ' ve ever met you. You haven ' t got anything on me; I never have met you either; but here ' s my card, don ' t you ever remember hearing of me. The lady looked at the card and shook her head in the negative reply. He looked at her downcast. Fame, oh! Fame, he muttered, What a bubble thou art. I danced with a charming little fellow tonight by the same name; is he any relation to you, she said. Yes, he ' s my brother, he said rather unconcerned. Why that s odd, he ' s only half your size, she replied. Yes, but he ' s only my half brother, you know. He certainly is cute anyway; I noticed him winking his eye at me several times. He doesn ' t mean to wink at you, he replied, He was trying to keep the eye that was turned next to you shut, lady. Well, one thing sure, he i s a square fellow. You can call him square if you want to, but I noticed that he was round when the whistle blew. You don ' t seem to know what I mean, I wanted to say that he had a strong character. Yes, I saw him lift a barrel of flour on his shoulder one time, but it was self-rising flour tho. Recovering from this knock out, she gained her former position by his assistance, and trying to explain her position, she said, Girls are naturally affectionate you know. Yes, I have noticed that they all like to hug the twenty-year mark, he answered dryly. She breathed a sigh, and trying to start on a new line, she remarked, These dance programs must have been rather expensive to have them all hand painted. Perhaps so, but just think how appropriate they are for the ladies, he said. Oh! my, she exclaimed, You certainly are witty, you must make your living by writing. Yes, I do, was his reply. And what do you write for, would you mind telling me? she asked. Not at all; 1 write for money from home. Gee! but you do make slurring remarks, you are undoubtedly a gambler; so why don ' t you hang out your sign by wearing a polka-dot necktie, ' ' she remarked, very much put out. Yes, and I suppose wyandotte ties would be rather appropriate for an old hen, don ' t you. I ' m going to leave you right now and go back in the hall, she said, getting up to leave. Well there goes the music now, and I will go with you, that is, if you want me to, he remarked, trying to show some affection. They went back to- gether, and just before someone broke them, he smiled at her and said, I don ' t want you to be offended at anything that I said tonight, and won ' t you come up on my bid in February. That certainly is nice of you to ask me up and I will be delighted to come, she whispered as someone broke them. -233- sues wif m , s ty DONT BITE THE HAND URN BACK THE UNIVERSE THAT5 FEEDING YOU. ve Got the Blues for Horn eSweet Home DOWN BY THE OLD MILL STREAM ?34 RCANI2ATI0NS 235 LETTER Foo T BALL.

Then the race proper started: over the Picket fence, thru the farmer Speas, under a Barre bed wire fence, they ran, at the Raitt of about 30 miles an hour like a pack of hounds Hardin pursuit of a Buck. The farmer uttered an oath about how fast a Boykin run; while the boys felt that Dargan man pushing them close. It was a Slim chance for escape and it was a Crip to catch them now, for Johns strength had Aull gone, and he fell over a Birch log and it knocked Johnstone dead for a while. Tom scrambled up a High Simon tree nearby. The farmer took them to his Homes tead, and locked them Wells ecure in his barn with out a Crum to eat. They Crider gallon or two of tears that night, for they were in Misery thinking Howard they ever get home. The farmer came out to the Barnett sunrise and sad to them, You can go home to Morrison. He kept his word and let each be a Freeman once more. As they were walking away, the farmer saw their Lipscomb together, so he knew that they had agreed to do right Aull the rest of their lives. -270- 19 Yitf KV9W HKM 271 TA PS for NlNETEEN-So ENTEEN THE TIGER FOUNDED BY THE CLASS OF Published weekly by the Students of Clemson College.

PARTLY SOCIAL. A large banquet was held last evening by the class of 1917. after an absence of ten years. It was a sight worth seeing to find that the married ones could gel away from their loved ones long enough to look at their old friends once more. Below are a few note? taken at the banquet, and if you happen to know a member of the class of ' 17 look below. Harris. H. S.. commonly known as Lazy Bill. got as far as rartanburg and fell asleep and missed his tram. This made him late, but he was there in tune for drinks. Bdl surprised us by telling u; ihat he had worked for two weeks after leaving Clemson. No one believed Bill but Hawkshaw Singiey. Hawkshaw says that Bill got a job counting the airships that passed over Union per c: Hunter. W . E.. came over from the Old Stone Church to see his old friends. Little Joe is sexton over there and tells us that things are as well as ever in that section. He offered to get ■ much of the Old Stone Church brand as we coulc _- . T. Anderson told us a few of h:s best jokes, but the staff refused to publish them. J. B. Dick says that he has the brightest boy in the State. Last Christmas Blanding Jr. wrote to Santa Claus and asked him to bring him a major. J. B. says the boy is just like his father. L. C. Fletcher is being sued for divorce by his wife. Lucy al - :he kind to jump at conclusions and it looks as if his wife is of the same type. Garrison. E. B.. wanted to make a speech on the advantages of military life, but we would not listen to him as one Lightsey had talked for ten minutes on the subject. Lightsey took most of his hrne trying to convince us that he deserved a major. Of course, we were sorry not to hear Bam. for he is quite an authority on militariamsm. At college he was so military that he said his pr = at parade rest. Craig. J. M.. is a confirmed old bachelor. He told us that a widow sued him for Breach of Promise and collected 89 cents from him. This ended his love affairs, as he stated that love is too expensive. Caskey. A. J., still has the largest nose in the class, and strange to say it is getting very red looking, but as he said. I ' d rather have a red nose than no c: TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen THE TIGER— Continued Hutchins, J. M., who is known to us all as Jap, told us a good one on his former room- mate, Hutchins, W. D. Jap says that W. D. went to Chicago to see the great packing houses. While in one of the packing houses W. D. fell into a large vat and they made him take a bath. Hutch ' got up early and said that if he had known that a vat would make you take a bath he would have pushed Jap in one while at Clemson. Johnson, W. B., was on the campus taking pictures for his new moving picture company. Bulldog is specializing in comics and so he has Kenney, F. M., and Meares, W. A., to pose for him. The two Reeves, Robertson and Nowell, were with us, but when called on for a few words did not answer. An investigation was made and they were found under the table shooting craps for the drinks. Walker, Williams, Sowell and McCord wanted to sing a song entitled We ' ll Never Get Drunk Any More. Mc. gave the Cord and they sang one verse. It was so awful that Jim Parker fainted and we had to give him an extra drink to bring him to. Seeing the extra drink that we gave Jim, inspired Richards and Shearer and they fell over in dead faints. Their trick did not work, however, for Gene Monroe had drunk the last drop while we were bringing Jimmie to himself. Graham, S. W., could not come, so he sent his orderly, Ellis, L. C, with his regrets. Both of these men are in the army now. Butler says that S. W. is a major now and has improved a great deal. Major can now give the command, Battalion halt-t, without standing on his tip-toes. We used to think that he was trying to crow every time he gave a command. Herron, W. C, is back from the Philippines on a visit, and graced us with his presence. Runt says that living is very cheap over there. Wives sell for fifty cents apiece. It ' s a good thing that Harems are not allowed, for Runt surely would be a Sultan. Durham, G. H., told us that he has invented a machine that is very widely used by married men. It is a hair detector. If a hair is left on a man ' s coat after working late at his office, the instrument begins to hum and the wearer can investigate before he goes home to his wife. G. H. savs that his has never failed him yet. Steadman, B. K., ordered one from G. H. From the looks of his eye we would say that it will come in handy. Tyler, G. R., said that he should have graduated in ' 16, but liked the fellows of ' 17 so much better that he persuaded Colonel to let him drop out for one year. Culp, W. C, told us a good one on himself. Butles said that he went to see his girl after imbibing a few drinks and socn after reaching her home she broached the subject. To change the subject he got up and smelt roses which were on the table and said, Roses certainly are fra- grant. She said, Yes, especially Four Roses. Gee, J. G., who used to be chief bugler, is instructor of bugle at The Citadel. He had his bugle with him and we had some music in the blowing line, but most of the blowing was with his mouth and not with the bugle. We see that Mutt is at his old tricks. We were all surprised to see the hair of Garrison, E. H., is black. We already remember him as a red-headed Irishman. It seems that he fell in love with a Dutch girl, and just had to change his hair to do any good. Barron Von Hay could not come as he is a king. While surveying some land in the Southern Hemisphere he discovered an island and called it Tayti. Porter Fain was kind enough to give us a verse which went: Things are not like they used to be And I must shed a tear. I fain would speak of other days When I was porter here. Joy Leland also gave us a verse, in which he said: My name is joyous Leland and I am proud to say, I put McClellanville on the map and it is there to stay. 273 TA PS for Nineteen-Seyenteen THE TIGER— Continued 5ruce also gave a verse: Sir Robert Bruce a spider saw. and 1 espied her, too, But Robert was not like E. C, he warred and did not woo. Just about this time I heard a noise at my feet and saw Midget McHugh standing on tip-toe trying to see what was on the table. Sam Littlejohn put Midget on his lap and we heard no more from him. Bob West was kind enough to give us a few lines, which ran thusly : The North is said to be quite fine. And some like South the best; But when you want to find the girls You better look up West. C. L. Baxter was quite flush for he had just won $50 for giving the most appropriate name to a theatre. He called it The Coffee House because it was built on grounds. Ladies please skip ' his part, for it was here that Mollie Price gave his speech. Tub Alford told us that he sure did fool the Assistant-Commandant when he was at college. He said that he turned a Rat and ran and jumped in bed. When the Captain came to his room and said. Let me in. Tub said. Captain. I swear that I am fast asleep. Tub said that the Captain believed him and went off without reporting him. Sarg Sellers was with us, but he said that he just did make it, for he stopped in Anderson and lost his way over there. It seems that they have torn the old water tank down and Sarg could not get his bearings. Monk Jenkins told us of his experience in South America. He says that it is so hot there that they don ' t have to use fire on the boilers when they run steam engines. C. G. Harris surprised us all when he took off his hat, for we found him bald-headed. He says that he married soon after leaving Clemson. Garrison, W. H., came up from his farm and said that he was trying to grow potatoes without eyes. We don ' t see how he can do this, but he says that there are fish in the Mammoth Cave without eyes, so why not grow potatoes without eyes. e were all surprised to hear that Mr. George Davis is still single, for he was the worst ladies ' man at Clemson, not counting Claude Garrett. The two Patjens ' brothers were with us. Andreas is married and living at Mount Pleasant. Henry is single and he ays that it is because Andreas is married. A few of us knew that they had the same girl while at college, but we never would have believed that Andreas would have done Henry that way. Moore. E. K.. is with the Big Four Railroad Company and graced us with his presence. We all remember that he was in the Big Four at Clemson, so with such a good start we are sure that he is making a man. Mr. Pug Berry was with us and stated that he was with the Go-Deep ell Boring Com- pany. We always knew that this would be his calling, for he was the most boring fellow in college and, therefore, should take great pleasure in his work. We all remember Pug at Clemson by his faithful body-guard (a bulldog). On his midnight strolls he often found himself throwing one. Dutsy Arthur managed to get off his beat long enough to go to the banquet. He says that he has been a policeman for five years and has a regular beat in Columbia. e do not doubt that he is a good one, for he was the biggest deadbeat in the Senior Class, not including Pug Berry. Mr. White graced us with his presence and informed us that he was living at Greens Ferry and is married. His wife was Miss Pinkie Black, of Brownsville. This may be called A Study in Colors. Claude Garrett was here with bells in his nose, connected with the More Girls ' Seminary and teaches the General History of Love. -274- ' TA PS for Nineteen-Seyenteen THE TIGER— Continued Bill said that he woke the baby one night and had to walk the floor, so he took lessons in ' how to whisper. Ulysses Grant was here and we hear that he is a reporter for the Drill-ville Try-weekly Paper. He has made quite a record in this line of work and we grant that there is none better. T. Spratt happened to be passing through Calhoun on his way to Florida, where he is going to teach dancing lessons this winter. He says that he has at last learned the Tbe Dimng-roon Waltz and The Kitchen Canter, thanks to the History Division. Ocipolus Hobbs is back from Klondike. He tells some hair-raising experiences, and says that it gets so cold up there that boiling water freezes. Bonner. W. C was ready when the eats came, for he is out of a job. W. C. went with a Carnival Company about a year ago and says that he did fine until the snake-eater got ill and the boss tried to make him take the job. McDermid, G. C. is commander of the Girls ' Scouts. He came to the banquet in full dress uniform. Mae says that the Girls ' Scout Club has nothing to do with the Scout Jeffries movement that we used to have at Clemson. Fish Witsell has had a good ending, for he tells us that he is studying for the ministry. It seemed that when Fish asked her the main question she said that she could never leave a minister ' s family. Cathcart. J. L., came over from his farm to see his old friends. Spair Ribs is raising hogs and says that he has experimented a great deal with them. He says that he is learning to make one hog grow three hams. Chapman. H. R.. came and brought his wife. Of course, we could not let her come to the banquet, but Murray assured her that he would not let Charlie get too full, therefore Murray could not give us a speech as he was watching Charlie. J. J. has always been noted for fooling the girls. Tom Brandon managed to be with us, but John could not get there. It seems that they matched to see who stayed at home and mind the babies, and John lost. Poor John! A. I. Norman says that the boys used to call him Dad. and so he is going to send Dad. Jr.. to Clemson next year. Pap married a widow with six sons, and the oldest one will be a Rat at Clemson next fall. Moore, J. H.. who we all remember as the Southern King in the Cornfield, is trying to find a way to make corn grow without an ear. He says that this will save the expense of shelling the corn. Mr. Sonny ' Lemon came back for the banquet, and as we approached him from the rear he jumped in surprise. W e still see that Lemon is as touchy as ever. We also had the pleasure of having Dutch Wiehl with us. Every one knows that he played in the Band and that Dutch is the man that invented a sure kill for the boll weevil. His method was to go through the field playing his clarionet. This worked fine and killed all the weevils, but the trouble was that it also killed the cotton. Mr. Duck Harmon was good enough to greet us with his presence. He says that he is on his ninth tour with The Autotry and Sing Better Opera Company. We always thought that Duck would land on the stage, for he used to sing a great deal at college, and his favorite song was He Done Me Wrong, but Frankie was a Good Girl. The biggest surprise of the evening was to see Sam Littlejohn sober at a banquet. We all remember that Sam quit drinking for two weeks, but we never knew the lady ' s name. Dean Crumpler could not be with us. as he is one of the principal workers of the South Carolina Good Roads Association. Poor Deans got two years for ordering more than a gallon in thirty days. He says that he will try and come next time. Warnner could not come as he is still trying to prove that he took the best course in college. We all remember that L. R. wrote this fact to his professor during his last vacation, and the rest of his section is making him prove it. John Fulmer said that a certain party used to kid him about not getting a Major, so one day he said. Men are not always masters of their fates. The fault, dear Buck, was not mine, but the Colonel ' s that I was not a Major. 275 TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen THE TIGER— Continued Dugar and Nimitz recited a duet and it ran something like this: While here we ran a Jew Shop, which made an awful hit. Our goods were often worn and sometimes fit. G. H. Derham has become poetical. He said: Some name their children for great men, As most of us agree, But I must tell you fellows A Bull was named for me. Cain, D. J., being so bashful had Foots Nimitz recite his piece, which ran thus: Did Cain raise Able? the wise men asked. So goes the old fable. No Cain did not his brother raise for he was not quite Able. Bill Mathews brought Mrs. Mathews with him. We were all surprised to learn that Bill has learned to whisper. Buie, T. S., was also present and says that he has the largest book house in Cherry. Wc remember that he used to work in the Exchange here, so we suppose he had a good supply of books and pencils when he left college. Archie Barron says that he put out a shingle in a dry town as civil engineer. He saya that the first morning there was a mob outside trying to get in his office. Archie could not imagine what was the matter, so he looked up at his sign and saw that he had spelled it A. Bar Rom. Pete Schirmer told us that he married last year. It seems that Pete saw an ad where a short blue-eyed, dimpled-cheeked, fair-complexioned husband was wanted, and he answered, I ' m your man. Oby Freeman was seen to get his knives, forks and spoons badly out of order, just as he used to do when he was invited out to a formal dinner on the campus. Warnner wrote that he could not come as he is a High Flier in society and cannot come down to our level. We hear that he is a porter on a Newport-to-New York airship. That ' s flying some. Sanders, H. L., could not come as his keeper was ill. Poor Rip went insane trying to prove that two pots are blacker than one. ' Pinkie Campbell had the same misfortune. He tried to find a way to run military colleges without a Commandant or a First Sergeant. This was impossible so Pinkie went insane. Jimmie Hunter insisted on telling about what he has been doing. Jimmie says that he was the architect on the new half a million dollar jail at Columbia, and that a peculiar thing haopened to him there. He was the second man to enter the building after it was completed. The jailor was first. Govenor Bole Clease has just pardoned him. Pruitt, V. O., denied to the crowd that when he saw the four wires of the wireless which ran from the clock tower to the textile building he said, Why do they put the clothes line so high. Blair, J. D., has been grafting trees. J. D. is also mayor of his town, and it is said that he has also done some grafting there. J. M. Brown told us that when he left Clemson he took a job in a textile building, but found that he had to work so he quit and went to teaching history. Black, E. W., has a large plantation and says that he had some negroes working for him that were very lazy and would not work or get up in the morning, so he started having reveille cvory morning. He said that the plan did not work for the coons liked to be put under arrest. Sixty Rivers and Bill Hutson explained to the crowd why they roomed together. They said that they thought Clemson would be more like New York if it had a Hudson River in Barracks. That ' s pretty deep, eh! Flard Times Long says that he has been figuring on getting married. He says that he asked the girl how quick she would marry him and she said, I won ' t be Long. Yet, still, she waits. Blossom Sloan was too peeved to give us a speech. He says he just went in the barber shop and some one took the chair out of turn and made him mad, and he said, Look here, Mr. Barber, when can I get a shave? The barber said, Well, judging from the looks of your face it will be about four years. -276- TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen THE TIGER— Continued Mr. J. A. Britt was also with us. He is the man who discovered an easy way to kill the lady bugs. His method was to get a crowd of lady bugs together and tell them a loud joke. This shocked the lady bugs and usually caused their deaths. Ted Henderson was with us, and with his usual line. Ted made the fatal mistake at college of telling one of his professors that Europe would be a good place to get married after the war. The professor, who was married, said that some of us would have to go that far. Haskell Allison was with us and says that he is owner of the largest ranch in Western North Carolina. He says that he can ride anything from a Shetland pony to a goat. We all remember he used to brag about his riding ability, and not without cause. P. S. -He would not tell us where the ranch is. Scout Jeffries started to the banquet, but got no farther than Anderson. He telegraphed his regrets and said that she just would not let him come. Tom Brandon came all the way from Milwaukee, where he has been giving some prohibition lectures to the Brewers ' League. He states that his motto is still Down with Booze. We want to know where it goes when it goes down. B. Breland managed to be with us. We are glad to know that Blish is himself again, for we heard that he lost his mind soon after leaving Clemson trying to make eyes grow on pine needles. M. M. Brice wrote us that he could not come and gave his reason. It was that there were no Christmas rates on and that he could not walk, for his shoes needed half-soling. Adam, J. P., was good enough to leave his stump speaking and come with the crowd. J ' . P, is running for mayor of his town and says that he will win if his brother will vote for him, because there are just three against him, and his brother will make a majority. F. W. Atkinson came for the day and says that he is making a killing raising chickens. Turkey discovered a way to make his roosters gobble and he sells his chickens at turkey prices. Bowen, R. A., is taking a vacation and drove over to see us. Jess married soon after leaving Clemson. He now has three children and says that he likes teaching very much. Hood Worthy arrived on the scene at an early hour. We remember once the teacher of economics asked Hood what laissez-faire meant, and Hood said, Pretty girl or fair lady. Pretty good for Hood. _ Willis, H. H., wrote us that he had a date with a girl and could not come, so we say To H with Willis and hope that he married her. -277- APPROPRIATE POSITIONS FOR REABING REPORTS ' TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen LOVE LETTERS. (Found in a Cadet ' s Diary.) HIS FIRST YEAR Dear Mother: Clemson College, S. C, September 27, 1913. At last I am here! Oh how I wish I was back on the farm milking old Jane and putting the chickens to bed. Gee, I didn ' t know it wuz gonna be so hard to find my way about! I done like you told me, and stayed on the train, but about dinner time a policeman came up to me and asked me where I wuz going. I didn ' t think it was any of his business, but I told him anyway. He says, You ' ll have to get off at the next station and take that train on the right track. I didn ' t say anything, but I began to think pretty hard. Right track! Well, I said to myself, I suppose the conductor lost his way. so I ' ll do what that policeman says. You know there are just hundreds and hundreds of other towns. 1 saw them thru the window. I don ' t blame the man for losing his way a bit, everybody makes mistakes some times. Sure enough the other train was the right one. Another police- man told me so. After this everything went along fine, and at about six o ' clock we drove up at Clemson. Just as I got of f the tram a soldier slapped me on the back and shook hands with me real nice-like. He said his name was Peachtree. It sure was kind in him, for he told me all what to do. When I got to the center build- ing another soldier (Mr. Appleback) met me and gave me a little card and put me in line to go thru some rooms. (There were just lots of other boys ahead of me in the line). After the president and the colendant wrote something on my card, another soldier, Mr. Hay- feeder, came up and took my handbag and offered to show me to my room. When we got to my room he told me he was detailed by the commandments to inspect all packages for perishable goods. He took all my cake, chicken, preserves and biscuits and carried them around to his room. He said he wouldn ' t report me this time if I didn ' t say anything about it. I don ' t believe I like him much. After he left, about ten other soldiers came in to see me. They called me a rat. One fellow was mighty rough, he beat me with a little sword just because I didn ' t have anything to eat. Another one of them made me buy a quarter ' s worth of bath tickets — said I ' d have to have them — and didn ' t give me but three. One big fellow gave me fifty cents and told me to go down to the store and buy him a yard of skirmish line and a bottle of extras. The store-keeper said they were just out — and you know that brute beat me again with the same sword! I reckon you better tell father to send me some more money, as I have to buy a whole lot of pennants, pictures, curtains and some more tickets. Thank goodne ss 1 was able to buy a season chapel ticket — it was the last he had and didn ' t cost but fifty cents. Some of these fellows-(lights go off). Nex( Morning Oh I had an awful night! My bed was so narrow that it turned over three times and nearly broke my neck. Early in the morning some boys started ringing a big bell and blowing some horns. I didn ' t know what it was, so I stayed in bed — an officer told me afterwards that I had been reported absent reveille. That don ' t matter tho ' , cause I don ' t know what that is neither. What do you think! I had to make up six beds, sweep out three rooms and bring water for about seven old boys on the hall; and that didn ' t satisfy them. They beat me with basins, straps, paddles and bayonets! (Those little swords I mentioned before are called bayonets). These boys aren ' t as nice as Mr. Peachtree; I don ' t like the way they treat me. One fellow asked me what my name was, and when I told him, he said, Why the H don ' t you change it? Then he spelt his name on me with the bayonet. Oh I wish I was home! I don ' t believe I can stay up here four years. Those boys are ringing that bell again. I better go out this time and see why. Your loving little boy, JAMES. -279- ' TA PS for Nineteen-Seventeen LOVE LETTERS. — Continued. A GLORIOUS SOPHOMORE Clemson College, S. C, September 27, 1914. Dear Dad: Arrived safely and all is well. It does feel good to be an old boy, believe me! Say, I broke my meerschaum pipe yesterday —I wish you would get me another one. Why don ' t mother send me something to eat? I ' ve been here four days and I haven ' t had a thing but syrup and bread for breakfast, dinner and supper. Why, gee whiz! a tramp could not subsist on such a frugal diet as this. By the way, Dad, I wish you would send me ten or fifteen dollars. I am financially embarrassed already, and have found it necessary to borrow money from my friends. You don ' t want me to be in debt, do you? Well, then come across with the mun, ' cause I ' ll just keep on borrowing till I break you. Yesterday we had a regular show in my room. The actors were the rats, of course, and the audience the old boys. I was general manager of the stage. We made one rat say his prayers backwards, while another stood by his side and read all the ten commandments from the dic- tionary. One rat got rather horsey, but after our using the self-starter, a bayonet, on his posterior anatomy he was perfectly willing to let his actions conform to our slight- est wish. I never saw such a bunch of green guys in all my life! Why, I don ' t believe they could pour water out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel. Gee, it was funny! I told one of them he was dead, and the poor simp believed it, except when we get some feeling into his system with a bayonet. After the show was over I made one of them sandpaper my floor with a piece of cornbread. It was a sight, believe me. As I was saying, Dad, please don ' t forget to send me that money right away Don ' t even stop to read this letter before you send it. Tell Sis hello for me and remind her that I still eat candy. Love to mother and tell her about the box. It takes three pounds of mess-hall food to give the same amount of nourishment as a pound of sawdust, you know. Your loving son.

If tha gates of Hades were to open up and deluge the earth with fire and brimstone, still would it be Heaven to me if only I could wade thru it all hand-in-hand with you, my dear. Even the discordant chirps of the little sparrow, that flits about from bough to bough, is harmony to these high-strung ears of mine. The world is so bright and cheerful that I sometimes wonder how some people could be so wicked as to not be happy. Oh! ain ' t nature grand!

The purpose of the trip was to perfectly familiarize ourselves with the habits of the various beasts which compose the menagerie of Ringling Brothers ' Circus. The ride from Calhoun to Greenville was an eventful one. An old graduate from Clemson introduced the party to Miss Lewis, the 66 member of the Rye Society, and gradually the kaydets from old Clemson were transformed into a laughing, jolly bunch of tourists. Barron Hay and J. D. Blair were so excited over the happenings -284- TA PS for Nineteen-Seyenteen Seeing the Circus — Continued that they got off the train five miles out of Greenville and had to walk thru mill town to the circus ground?. Sam Rowell and B. Johnson were greatly enthused over the fried fish stand and conse- quently missed the whole performance. Howell Arthur could not decide which he enjoyed most. Camp 49 or Jojo, the African dog- faced boy. Claude Garrett escorted some fair damsel to th ' red lemonade stand, and to have seen him and the red-headed lass winding in and out among the crowd one would have thought that two stray crocodiles had broken their chains and were making tracks for the Everglades. Claude finally bought a glass of the precious drink. He drank half and then she drank the rest. Rip Sanders and Sam Rowell were seen standing by the Buttered Pop Corn Stand enjoying the delicious odors while their mouths ran water. Runt Sowell came near losing one eye while looking thru a hole in the dressmg-room tent behind Camp 49. Runt denies this, but a truthful cadet said that it was either Runt or the lion feeder; for they resembled each other in face and uniform. Tom Spratt was admitted to the animal show free of charge, for the keeper said that he was well worth the money as an advertisement. Tom was glad to take this offer, and he made good use of it. When the show was over Hood Worthy was seen hanging back while the crowd passed out. e found out later that he talked with the manager about getting a job as one of the elephant leaders. The manager turned him down, although Hood said that he would take the job for expenses. As he passed out with a downcast look on his face, a man with a circus uniform caught him by the arm, but after careful examination he released his hold. This man was looking for the Wild Man from Borneo, who had escaped. After a night of a plumb good time the boys came back to college with mouthsful of their experiences, half of which was not believed. A SOPHOMORE ' S SOLILOQUY PRIOR TO THE EVENT OF TURNING A RAT TIME: 1 a.m. Is this a dagger I see before me; the handle toward me turned? No, ' tis only the Colonel with his pencil poised as if to write something. Hast thou not, oh fatal vision, any heart at all? or art thou a common reporter, insensible to feeling and to love? I see thee yet, in form so cold and inquisitive! Thou asketh me the way which I was going, and in thy note-book wnteth down my name. Mine eyes are made the fools of the other senses; or else worth all the rest; I see thee still, and beside my name thou wnteth something else which was not there before. There ' s no such thing: It is my guilty conscience which informs thus to mine eyes. Now o ' er the one-half world Nature seems dead, and wicked Sophomores abuse the curtained sleep; Witchcraft celebrates Pale Hecate ' s offering, and little Rats, alarmed by their intruders, the Sophomores, whose howls they watch, thus with stealthy pace. with Tarquins ravishing strides towards their design, move like ghosts. Ye loose and squeaking floors hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear the little Rats prate of my whereabouts, and waking rise from their downy couches to hide themselves behind the curtained locker. While I creep he sleeps: Thoughts to the heart of deeds a cold bed makes. (Signal sounds.) I go. and it is done; the whistle invites me.

No; well I ' ll just smoke one, then I ' ll rub off my shoes, dust my gun a little, get a bucket of water, sweep the dirt under this good old rug, tack the curtains over the locker so the colonel cant look inside, go out and borrow a pair of white gloves, straighten up the shelf and then I ' ll be ready for the colonel and his microscope. That ' s all I ' ve got to do. Gee! that ' s a cinch. (When the last bell rang Roommate No. 2 was almost ready for inspection. After being burnt for shoes not shined, dirty gun. etc., the two roommates strolled back into their cell to await room inspection). .Scene 3: Same place. Room Inspection.

Caesar walks around the room looking over the walls for September Morns. then starts for the door. Roommate No. 2 draws long breath. Caesar tnp3 over rug. They smile.

Caesar — Why didn ' t you dust off your shelf? Don ' t you ever wash out your basin? and look behind the radiator! My, my. this is great! (Caesar rubs hands together, smiles from one car clean around to same ear. and walks toward door). Second Roommate — Say. Colonel, you forgot to burn me for holes in my socks! Caesar — Thanks, I ' ll put that down, too. (Aside.) Oh, ye gods, this is great, this is great! I wish I could get a hundred more like this. Second Roommate — Mark ye how the Tyrant gloats! Oh Liberty, thou hast flown to brutish beasts, and men have lost their Freedom. (At last he raveth). ACT II. Scene I : Caesar ' s office. Time: Next Day. Enter Caesar and attendants. Caesar — Ah.

THIRTY-SIX EXTRAS. AND IN ADDITION. ARREST IN GUARD ROOM ANNEX FOR A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS. By Order of JULIUS C ESAR. Commodore of the Baslile. Attention is called to the following fact: After due consideration of the above charge, the punishment was made thus light in order that Cadet XYZ might have sufficient time to walk off his Extras; after which he will no doubt be shot before sunrise. 5cene 4: Same Place. (Cadet XYZ faints. They carry him to the hospital on a stretcher. After taking a handful of pills — and throwing them out of the window — he revives and is cast straightway into the dungeon. From that time on nothing more was ever heard of Cadet XYZ.
