Vice-President Clean Sleevi Club; R. O. T. C; S. A. T. C. ; President Swamp Fox Club; Secre- tary Carolina Literary Society; A. I. E. E. ; Ameri- can Legion ; Senior Dancing Club. Gaiter is a fox from the Swamp Fox town and is certainly a shark when it comes to a financial transaction. Gaiter ' s ability to handle the fair sex is well known; and, although, he claims not tu have any special choice, he oftens makes a tour to a distant part of the State for reasons unknown. He is one who is naturally capable and studies very little; although he is taking one of the hard est courses here. Judging from the interest he took in automobiles the past summer, he will probably enter the automobile business upon the completion of his electrical course here. Gaiter has many friends in the corps who will wish him much success in his life ' s work. EDWARD TOWNES BUNCH Charleston, S. C. Give me true friends and music, and life will be a pleasure.

The general public and this lad got ac quainted when he undertook t ' sell need no wash ie collars to the Eskimos of McFeeley ' s army. And does he love the ladies, and does he dance? He does ' em to perfection. Eddie has had ch. honorabli i ireei of bucking the military game four years with a clean sleeve. He has but two objects in view : to be a friend to all and to be an trical engineer. With his winning smile and his ginei ring ability, we cannot but predict for him success in both.
