Civil Engineering Corporal; Sergeant; Senior Private. Sec- etary and Treasurer York County Club ; enior Dancing Club; Thalian Dancing lub; Senior Privates; Hobo Club. In the fall of 1913 an erect, sober and de- •rmined little man applied at the President ' s ffice for four years ' board and lodging at hat is now his beloved Alma Mater. Of Durse, he was accepted. 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. He says, though, when he e ts into the auotmobile business and his love affair ans out, that the world is mine. : is Clifford Lawton Baxter Garnett, S.

Cabinet; Traffic Manager of Arsenic Club; Southern College Press Association ; Horticultural Science Club; Track Team, 16; President Hampton County Club. Horrey comes from the Savannah River swamps. 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-

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-

James Furman Berry Greenville. S. C. The onh wall to have a friend is to be one. Mechanic al-Elec. Engineering Corporal; Sergeant: Lieutenant: Senior Private: President Greenville County Club. ' 16. ' 17; ice-President Greenville City Club. 15, ' 16; Y. M. C. A.: Bible Class; Junior. Senior, and Thalian Dancing Clubs: Palmetto Literary Society; Picked Company. 14. ' 15: C lemson Science Club; Junior Member A. I. E. E. 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. Black WlLLISTON. S. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Soils Corporal in charge of Signal Corps; Regi- mental Commissary Sergeant; Captain H Company: Pick Company. ' 13. ' 14 and ' 15; Department Editor. Agricultural Journal; Calhoun. Carolina, and Palmetto Literary Societies: Prohibition League; Winner Trustees ' Medal. 1916. 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-
