Earl Richards Alford Latta. S. C. Smile well! smile truly! and smile last! Animal Husbandry Private ; Private ; Sergeant ; Second Lieutenant. Secretary and Treasurer, Vice-President, and President Dillon County Club; Carolina Literary Society ; President Bull Club ; President Agri- cultural Society ; Bolo Team ; Scrub Baseball, ' 23 ; Senior R. O. T. C. Camp McClellan, Ala. This is a history that ought to be written in metre, a life made up of witty jokes and bright repartee. Tub claims that he once was a to- bacco grower of Dillon County of wide fame, and his associations with the weed almost proves his assertions. His line betrays him. tho, and we have a hankering notion that he was a sales- man for some matrimonial agency. He can tell you what kind of a girl she is by her stationery, and the working of the ladies ' minds is as clear to him as the Eureka problem. Besides the nickname of Tub , which was bestowed upon him to match hv.s unsvmmetrical anatomy, he is also known as Wolf-Wolf . And he lives up to the latter name in his home town as the ' bad wolf of the settlement. The fathers of the choicest damsels of the country have a hard time keeping this wolf from their doors. Edward Kirkpatrick Anderson, Jr. Auburndale, Fla. Forget your defeats and plan for future victories. Electrical Engineering Private ; Private ; First Lieutenant. Cosmopolitan Club ; Company Football and Bas- ketball ; Radio Club: A. I. E. E. ; Senior R. O. T. C. Camp McClellan, Ala., Marksman ; Three Musketeers. Some eminent author has said that sincerity is the noblest of all virtues . We took this state- ment for granted, but it has been more deeply impressed upon us by our association with Hooks Anderson. Hooks hails from the sunny 6hores of Florida and is a man of sterling character and great ambition. He is an embodiment of all that is true and noble. Altho he may never attain the greatness of Steinmetz, we predict for him a great future in his chosen profession. Coming from the land of fruit he thought cur- rent was another species of fruit, but after hear- ing Crip lecture on it , he changed his mind. Hooks should be greatly commended for finishing Clemson in three years. Now as the curtain is drawn upon the class of ' 24, always remember that you have the best wishes of the class for the best of everything that life affords.

■ fj T % William Thomas Anderson Seneca. S. C. The man with a smile is the man worth while. Civil Engineering Private : Private ; Private ; Second Lieutenant. Student Member of A. S. C. E. ; Member of Oconee Countv Club ; Member of Senior Dancing Club; R. O. T. C. Camp McClellan. Ala. Wild Bill joined our merry band in the fall of ' 20. This lad hails from Seneca, and judging from the line he carries, we are led to believe that Seneca, famous in Latin History, must have waved his magic wand over Bill ' s head. Bill is an Engineer in the true sense of the word. By his numerous questions he has caused more than one professor to hunt up authorities on the subject and sometimes Bill would ques- tion the authority. Bill possesses the Never Say Die spirit, and we predict that this will characterize his success in life. Once in a while we meet a man that is content to be himself at all times. Such a man is Bill , always hu- man, perfectly frank at all times, and a real friend. Here ' s wishing to you the best that life affords. Bill , and now you can say that a certain red- headed surveyor has become a full fledged Civil Engineer. John Cvlvin Alll. Jr. Pomaria, S. C. What are the sweetest things of earth ' A mother ' s kiss, a baby ' s mirth — These are the sweetest things of earth. Agricultural Chemistry Private ; Corporal ; Private ; Second Lieutenant.

Crip , as all of the boys know him. is a product of Pomaria. Although small of stature. he is big of mind and heart. He has been at the head of his class for four years, and in every line of endeavor that he has entered, he ha s made an enviable record. As President of the Y he has discharged his duties faithfully. That cheer- ful smile with which he greets every one is a trait that many of us covet. He is a loyal Tiger , a sincere friend, and a jolly good fel- low. Crip , through his connection with the Y and the Student Conference, has caught the vision of service, and expects some day to become a missionary. Such an ideal we all admire, and we are sure that his touch of friendship linked up with that spirit that recognizes no defeat, will characterize his work in the future. Crip , we wish you great success in your life ' s work.
