Here you see a man whose name is worthy to be inscribed in any hall of fame. Search the wide world over and not a truer- hearted man will be found than Oozy . Charley would lead us to believe that the ladies play a small part in his young life ; but when, time after time, we discover him sitting before the radiator with a far-away look in his dark eyes fixed upon a certain picture, we know that the little smile playing upon his lips is not caused by thought of engineering. If the future may be judged by the past, we predict nothing else in store for him except a life of happiness and prosperity. All eyes are turned towards you, Charles. Nelson Murray Bradley Sumter, S. C. Aaree if you can: if not. dispute it like a man. Textile Engineering Private ; Corporal ; Sergeant ; Second Lieu- tenant.

The gates of the Gamecock City being un- locked. Prep escaped in search of an education. He entered Tigertown in the fall of ' 20. He determined to make a successful Textile manufacturer, has not failed in building a foun- dation that is capable of withstanding the vibra- tion and jars of life. Prep has acquired numerous friends thru his cheerful smile and his friendly ways. Ole Ham- bone , as he is sometimes called, has quite a bit attached to his history besides his studies. He is quite a sheik on the dance floor and he is a regular shark when it comes to pool. Occasionally he slips up and participates in a bridge game, which he usually tops with a great margin. Undoubtedly Prep will ascend high on the ladder of success. We. his friends, wish him the utmost pleasure on his journey.

me K B n 1 ' S Fleetwood Jennings Bass Mayesvillc, S. C. Where hearts are true Few words will do. Private ; Private ; Private ; Second Lieutenant. Sumter County Club; Member Student Chapter A. S. C. E. ; Rifle Marksman; Pistol Marksman; Camp McClellan, Ala. Fleetwood left us early in his Rat year to attend the Citadel, but at the beginning of his Sophomore year he decided that once a Tiger always a Tiger. And a truer Tiger cannot be found. Fleet says that his greatest worries in life are trying to get the correct lines. He spends his day trying to get correct lines for Will Rogers Clarke by gazing thru a transit and half his nights trying to get the right lines for his girl. Space and words are both too limited to ad- equately enumerate Fleetwood ' s good qualities. He is a good student, a loyal friend, and a gen- tleman. Bass, here ' s to you the best of luck.

B left Jim Island in the fall of ' 20. taking the route to Tigertown . where he endeavored to master his ambitions by gaining knowledge. He first set. out to discover some law that would revolutionize the Dairy Industry, but soon became content to master the numerous laws that had already been promulgated by the leading dairy scientists. This he accomplished with exceeding rapidity and ease. Having already discovered a potent asset of T. N. T. stored away in his brawny frame. Stiles began practising the art of boxing with his fel- low cadets with his quick eye and hefty punch. He has proven his ability along this line on numerous occasions. B is ever a friend to the needy, and never shirks the call of duty. May his dreams of a certain young lady and a sweet little love nest on Jim Island come true some day.

Martin Burriss Brissie Hodges, S. C. Nobility is Thine and Thy Form is the reflection of Thy Nature. Agricultural Education Private ; Corporal ; Sergeant ; Second Lieu- tenant. Secretary and President Palmetto Literary So- ciety; Deelaimer ' s Medal Palmetto Literary So- ciety, ' 22 ; Member Agricultural Society ; Bible Class Leader ; Friendship Council ; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet: President Greenwood County Club: President Christian Endeavor Society ; Machine Gun Sharpshooter, Camp McClellan, Ala. ; Dele- gate Student Volunteer Convention, Indianapolis, ' 24. M. B. hails from the city of Hodges — but, of course, he can ' t help that, and otherwise he is all right. He entered Clemson in the fall of 1920, and during the four years of his college career he has shown himself to be a leader in everything he undertakes. M. B. is affectionately known to many of his friends as Soldier . This name is, in a measure, characteristic of the man. He is a born fighter for everything that is fair and right. It is not surprising, therefore, that Soldier should cast his lot with the forces of education and pre- pare to wage war against the evil of illiteracy. As a teacher we can predict nothing but success for him. His ability, his spirit of determination, his jolly disposition, and his high ideals will carry him to the highest type of success. A loyal Tiger, a hard worker, a true friend — from such characteristics a worthwhile life of devoted service is bound to come. John Jones Brown Gjffney, S. C. Judge neither your friends nor your enemies until you stand in their place. Textile Engineering Private ; Private ; Sergeant : Second Lieutenant. Cherokee County Club ; Carolina Society ; Tex- tile Society ; Bible Class : Sharpshooter, R. O. T. C, Camp McClellan. Ala.; Camp Rifle Team: Clemson Rifle Team. John Jones decided that Gaffney was too small for him ; therefore we later found him at Clem- son. He was an obedient Freshman, a wise Sophomore, a studious Junior, a hard-working Senior, and now he is a hustling alumnus. John ' s entrance and graduation reminds one of the famous adage of the March wind. He came to Clemson as a lamb and left like a whirlwind with flying colors. He has always been a good ( ?) student. He was never in any trouble, and was never out of mischief. John has always been a great lover of athletics and all other student activities, except the main activity, which was studying. He pulled a wicked trigger, and if he is as sure with the bow and arrow, all ladies had better wear a plate of armor ere they feel the pain of Cupid John ' s dart.
