JOHN ROBERT ADAMS Collier, S. C. O, gentlemen, the time of life is short! To spend that shortness basely were too long. Horticulture Private; Sergeant; Sergeant F. A. U. S. A.; 2nd Lieutenant. Palmetto Literary Society; Y. M. C. A.; ' 19 Club; American Legion; Senior Dancing Club; Sec, Tr. Edgefield County Ciub ; Horticultural Club ; Vice-President Edgefield County Club ; Pres. Edgefield County Club ' 20. Yes. several years ago there came a pert lad from the obscure recesses of Colliers, S. C. The person in question is none other than our hale and hearty Red Adams. He, being dissatisfied with his con- ception of life, decided upon this Heaven of Dreams as a site to build his future wide expanse of knowledge on the subject of horticulture. The war intervened, however, and the lad ' s meanderings in life were entirely changed for a couple of years. Anyway, Red returned to us with the same op- timistic smile and care-free life that has always been so characteristic of him. With his straight- forwardness and ambition to conquer, Red has won a host of friends who predict that his future will be strewn with roses and that some pretty girl will be proud to say, My own dear Robert. REMBERT GARY ALLEN Washington, D. C. And I learned about women from her. Architecture Private; Corporal; Senior Private.

In a year unknown. Red ventured from the quiet town of Lowndesville into the gates of our institution of learning. He, however, claims Wash- ington as his home now. We wonder why. But he entered into the depths of various and sundry kinds of knowledge, principal among which is the wiles of the vampire, and the actions of a skyscraper under the stresses of the elements. For, my gentle reader, Red is an architect, renowned in and around our College of the Foothills. Rembert has an enviable disposition, one that at- tracts and holds the friendship of all those who come in contact with him. He is a diligent worker, a serious-minded student, and one who is likely to make his college and native home proud of him; and we predict that before long he will have started an American Renaissance in architecture.

FRANCIS MARION ' ALLEN Greenwood, S. C. Count that day lost whose low-descending sun Views from thy hand no worthy action done. Dairying Private; Private; Private; Senior Private; Navy. Sophomore, Junior, Senior, Thahan Dai Clubs; Senior Private ' s Club; Agricultural Society; Sec. and Treas. Greenwood County Club ; Jun. Agricultural Co-operative Com.; Clemson Dairj Judging Team. Among the outstanding features of the class ot 20, we find him — just plain Suber. ' He belongs to the Greenwood gang, it ' s true; but his pleasing ' li- on and good trait- of character give hn cided credit. He has proved conclusively thai a cheerful word and a pleasant smile will inevitably bring about true comradeship. M . on - easy man- ner- and tluent command of his mother tongu able him to easily adapt himself to any sit is frequently shown by the effectiveness of his reveille explanations. When the soft strains ol ' Home are wafterl by the early morning breeze, he is gen- cr.dh engaged in the ancient art of picking them l.iwng them down. Suber must have chosen in- course wisely, for it was largely due to his ability that the Clemson Judging Team won a high place at the National Dairy Show, m competition with other colleges from all over the country. JOSEPH WHEELER ALLISON Blacksburg, S. C. The best of happiness, honor and fortunes keep with you. Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Chairman Senior King Committee; President, Nice- President. Corresponding Secretary, and Recording Secretary Havne lit ' .-. Society; i i President Cherokee County Club; A. I. E.

Allison, with the accent on the broad A, says his home town is Blacksburg. Then there are those who say that Switzer once passed through Blacks- burg en route to a summer camp at Petersburg. Virginia. Regardless of all that, they must plaj football in his nativi heath, for Switzer has been Clemson ' s regular fullback for quite a time. Then there must be many social events in his country, because he makes them fall with equal regularity upon gridiron and dance door. Hut Switzer wins both friends ' and girls ' hearts, because he claims that the man with hi- hat in hi- hand and a -mile on his face gets on in the world. He tel ls us thai he specializes in engineering, his professors tell us that he doesn ' t. Tnkr your choice. At any rate, it is partly due to J. Switzer Allison that Clemson has her place in the football sun. P zge Seventeen
