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-

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.

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-

J. D. was not yet sweet sixteen when Degan his career at college. No, he wasn ' t sissy, but, on the contrary, was extremely digni- : for a Rat. He always took pride in showing f. Daniel and the girls how beautifully he could [e. As a consequence, he has made E on Eng- and made many a girl jealous because he could e a neater hand than she. Perhaps some of n were more jealous of J. D. than of his hand- ing. No one knows, unless the Colonel does, ( J. D. was made captain of D Company, for ,had never been very popular in military circles, wever, it seems that a wise choice was made, for p. came across with the goods.

A.; Agricultural Society; Junior Dancing Club; Senior Dancing Club; As- sistant Business Manager Clemson Agricul- tural Journal; Vice-President Spartanburg County Club; Student Advisor; Member the Butler Guards. 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. The chivalrous disposition and gentle nature of this noble son of Sparta bids defiance to anything but success; and his comrades expect nothing less. -25-
