Tom is bin from all directions; big feet, body, intellect, and heart are only a few ways in which he excels. His unwaver- ing adherence to high principles and al- truistic tendency makes it ;i delight for one to be in his neighborhood. Naturally he has a large place in the hearts of those who know him. As an athlete Tom has made good, (lis enthusiasm and love for football has been rewarded ; he is a proud wearer of a block ' in that great sport. Tom ' s ardent admiration for ebony colored hair leads us to believe that ulti- mately he will be attracted to tropical re- gions; and there, under skies powdered with millions of stars and bordered with silent trees, a maid with studied simplicity will be so fascinating as to lure him to a dim veranda, lighted only by the glimmer of the pale starlight. Bewitching glances and soft replies will demolish the walls of his hearts ' citadel, and the resl will be in the bauds of Fate. We hope all your yearn- ings will be satisfied, Tom. THOMAS ALBERT BARRS Branchville, S. C. Life is ivhat one makes it. ANIMAL HUSBANDRY Day Cadet. Vocational Training. Thomas holds no military honors bestow- ed by this institution, but the honors be- stowed upon him while in the service of his country on the Mexican border and in France are those which we should remem- ber him by — they are far more honorable and greater than he could ever have at- tained here. In the fall of ' !! . at the end of his career as a soldier, he came to Clemson to satisfy his longing for more knowledge. With him he brought what very few bring — a wife — a fine little lady she is. He entered the vocational training department where he worked faithfully until he was prepared to enter the Freshman class in ' 21. We have found him to be a friend and a gentleman. We know that he has Worked hard while here, for in the face ot many obstacles which he has come in con- tact with, he has made a wonderful rec- ord. Thomas, we feel sure that success alone awaits you as we find you laboring in the experi ntal field of animal industry. fe g g Tiventy-Six § 2

We wish to present .lack, the boy with auburn hair from Pelzer. .lack cast his lot with the Tigers in ' 21. For two years he gave many a dancer a treat by tickling the ivory in the Tiger Jungaleers. He was not content to he only a second I ' ader- ewski. but he wished to he a rival of Edi- son, so he chose Electrical Engineering as his course. He also was a member of the cadet hand and pumps a bass almost as efficientlj as he chases electrons. This lad is an A-l hoy and has won for himself a host of friends who will always remember him with the deepest affection. Brass-head , as he K often called, is a favorite among the hoys as well as anion;; the fairer sex. So here ' s to Jack, wherever you tna.v go, or whatever yon may do. we wish you the greatest of success and trust that you will always maintain your magnetic personality.
