He at once ac- eed the name of the roughest rider in school, and te the death of Buffalo Bill, we see for him a it future. Alice, although inclined to be htly military, thought more of his friends than of Stary honors. By means of his slick tongue and iwinning ways, he has won many friends. Alice tery fond of the fairer sex, and his special delight tipping the light fantastic toe. He is always ready pull a good practical joke, and he knows how to E one just as well as to pull one. His good traits not be given in so small a place; but he has more fi enough to make a wonderful success. We see (reat future for Hack as superintendent of Bre- d Electric Power Association.

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

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.

Some say that this is due to his many nici names and to the impressive way in which he intra duces himself to the Rats, but we think that th fact is due to his cheerful Hello and to his irre pressible good humor. 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. Though ycj would hardly suspect it, Tubbie is deeply in lov -20-

I Howell Taylor Arthur Richmond, Va. The best of men have ever loved repose. Civil Engineering Senior Private; Thalian Dancing Club; Cosmopolitan Club ; Honorary Member Sea Gulls; Clean Sleeve Club; Senior Privates ' Club; Class Football, ' 16. 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. Frank Whatley Atkinson Beech Island, S. C. A farm, a pipe, and a wife ; these three. Dear world, are all I asl( of thee. Animal Husbandry Private; Sergeant; Senior Private; Pal- metto Literary Society; Secretary Agricultural Society; Aiken County Club; Y. M.C. A.; Senior Privates ' Club. 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-
