(29) UUHCA anaacc f JAMES C. LITTLEJOHN The rapid growth of Clemson as a school is due in a large extent to the untiring efforts of our business manager, Mr. J. C. Littlejohn. - z is one of that group of nnen who are unceasing in their efforts to promote Clemson and are will- ing at a moment ' s notice to lay aside all else to come to her aid. Clemson is in the midst of a vast program of im- provement, and Mr. Littlejohn is responsible for the admin- istrative details of all parts of the program. Mr. Littlejohn assumes the job corresponding to parent- hood of eighteen hundred boys, as far as overseeing the feeding and clothing of his huge family. It is he and his staff that silently and quietly manage those momentous questions of financing the intricate machinery that is Clem- son. Mr. Littlejohn ' s membership in Blue Key and Tau Beta Pi is demonstrative of his keen interest in student activities and of the high regard in which he is held by the men of the corps in general and the student leaders in particular.

128) 7 DR. ENOCH W. SIKES Dr. Sikes, we salute you! And no one nnan In the annals of our college is more deserving of this respect. Since his coming here in 1925, his every thought has been for a greater institution, his every effort directed toward the ful- fillment of this ambition. Evidence of his work lies on every hand. Notable of his achievement in the past few years is the acquisition of a new Agricultural Building, four fine new barracks, a new Textile Building, and others too numerous to mention; but these are the things we see every day. Less noticeable to the eye, but just as necessary was his guiding genius in getting Clemson accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges, in raising the educational standards of the college, and in helping Clemson become one of the largest colleges of the state. Beloved by everyone who has known him, respected by all the great educators of the country, and an inspiration to us. Dr. Sikes will continue to be a shining light in the educa- tional world long after these present classes pass into the world of business and affairs. And so, ere we graduate, let us show our deepest respect to our president — Dr. Sikes, again we salute you!

(30) DEAN S. B. EARLE ENGINEERING A visitor once remarked that one impression of Clemson he would always retain was the busy at- mosphere encountered on the campus. Not just a small part of this impression should be at- tributed to our future engineers. Architects may be seen in almost any unbelievable spot sketch- ing some realistic scene, and everywhere are boys with transits and levels making accurate measurements, it would seem, of every single inch f the campus. Over by the waterworks cadets are puzzling over the numerous pipes and valves. But the industry does not end here. Slipping the basement of Riggs hiall one may see boys busy learning the fundamentals of a steam engine; another group collecting data and indicator cards, and climbing under a throbbing Corliss to obtain some necessary temperature. Upstairs are the professors ' offices, in one of which a cadet is explaining why he couldn ' t get that problem and also why he just cannot afford to get another deficiency report just then. Down the hall a buzzing may be heard which is just an electric motor doing all it can to run in spite of the efforts of the double-E boys crowding around it. On the second floor are men at desks drawing the elements of trusses and braces for a bridge, and dotted here and there down the hall are classrooms in which instructors try to impart a little theory. On up to the third floor, and here you decide to pause — for the Architects have covered every inch of the wall with sketches, murals, and designs. But that is enough of the Engineering School, for there are six others and not sufficient time to examine each very closely. LEFT TO RIGHT— FIRST ROW: A. M. Quattlebaum, H. E. Glenn, S. B. Earle, T.
