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

Anyone gazing upon the unscarred face of Blake would never dream of a pugilist. However, he demonstrated his ability in the manly art while at camp. In addition, Blake has fought like a time Tiger to do his bit for his Alma Mater on the track. His four years having been completed, his career, in our minds, is crowned with gold- en success, which few attain. @©©©@ SSSg S2 Twenty-Eight
