When Boo set out for Clemson. it was with the determination to be a real noise, and so systematically has he carried out his plans that even the most conservative are forced to admit that he has attained his goal — witnesses; the commandant, the cadets, and the professors. This same quality blasted his military aspirations in their infancy. Boos qualities as an athlete are second to none in his class. One of his greatest desires after entering school was the winning of the block C and a place on the varsity football squad. We arc very glad that he attained his desire. His greatest ambition is to return to Clemson and play on Doc Stewart ' s Tiger Team of zi. Boo has won many friends at Clemson, and we predict for him unqualified success in whatever he undertakes.

Upon the urgent request and invitation of Mr. Clemson, Buck finally decided in the Fall of iq 1 8 that he would come to Tiger- town. Since his debut into college life, he has spent much time dabbling in bridge con- struction, land survej s, and sewerage sj s- tems — for he is a Civil. When Buck arrives in Barnwell, carefully carrying his sheepskin in his hand, the mayor has promised to have the town band at the station to welcome the conquering hero back horn.- again. And lo, folks will come from miles around to catch a mere glimpse of this lad, Barnwell s best Buck ' s ' many friends pre- dict and expect great things of him for they believe he has the ability, and they all join in on the chorus: Old Buck has made a host of friends. And each does wish him l uck. Tu ' enlx-live

Mechanical Engineering Private; Private; Private; 2nd Lieutenant Dorchester County Club; Jail Bird Club; Owl Club; A. S. M. E. Fripper-jack sallied forth from the metropolis of St. George in the Fall of 18 to obtain an education in Tigertown. Fripper-jack ' s winning personality has made for him many friends since his arrival, but due to his unusual ability to get ' em told, ' ' he and the Commandants have never been able to get along together, which ac- counts for his yearly membership in the Jail Bird ' ' Club . He is small of stature, but what is lacking in this respect is more than made up for by his kindness and generosity. He has never been known to refuse a friend in need. Herman has never represented a Tiger ' ' team in action, but is one of the most loyal supporters that has ever set his foot on the campus. We predict for Frippcr-jack, success in the world after his departure from our midst. HOLLIS SAMUEL ALTMAN Galivants Ferry, S. C.

Froggy ' ' entered Clemson in the Fall of 1 8 with the idea of being an Aggie, but soon found out that a man of his ability should not be a bug-chaser, therefore, he joined the Hobo Crew. Froggy has never had any trouble shooting the professors, and making a speech for D. W. was always a cinch for a man of his powers. He also had the honor of being Madison ' s Intelligence Officer. Chief among Froggy ' s acquirements is his ability to make friends, not only with the boys but with the fairer sex as well Here ' s to you, Froggy, may the little town of Galivants Ferry be proud that it turned out a man of your calibre.

The people of Fort Mill have no idea what they lost when they allowed this illustrious son to stray from their walls Jim. better known as Tom. entered Clemson as green as any of us, but because of his willingness and determination it did not take him long to get onto the ways of college men. Today, we see in him a polished gentleman. Tom ' s winning smile, sterling character and good natured ways have contributed much toward making all his acquaintances his friends. On the gridiron, Tom has been one of the Tiger mainstays. Again we see his de- termination and strength have helped to gain fame for him as well as for his Alma Mater. If the future may be judged by the past, we can see nothing else in store for him except a life of happiness and prosperity. All eyes are turned toward you Tom. Twenty-six
