e Q i l I A ,. 1 l l l i. HOLMES ALFORD SEMKEN, B. S. Scmu1iv Chow cHARLEs'roN, s. C. C lzcmistry Basket-ball, '24, '25, Holmes, better known as Semmie, came to the College determined to have a good time. This he has carried out very successfully. He is one of those fortunates who can readily make such a determination, being the possessor of a good, healthy brain, which makes classes the least of worries. In the first two years of his college career, Semmie answered the call of athletics, making the varsity basket-ball squad as a forward. Besides being a successful college stu- dent, Semmie has earned the name of Coach, and is looked upon as a model by many small boys of Charleston. Any afternoon hc can be sccn coaching athletics at one of our largest playgrounds, of which he is director. It is not at all unusual for f'Semmie's teams to come out with all honors at the end of a season. ' Semmie is characterized by his extreme ncatness. He never talks of himself but we if feel that he has great plans for the future, and we wish him all kinds of luck and happiness in attaining them. ' l Page Ivfffy-ffgllf if I :S- ..ff A X r 1 i I 1

1 5 GRACE RODMJXN, A. B. G1'uci011s H A E ' 1 i ci-t1ueL1as'roN, s. C. L Euglislz C0-Ed Club, '24, '25, '26, '275 Y. W. O. A., '24, '25g Pierian Literary Society, '25, '26, '27g Critic- Ueusor, '2Iig Pa1'liame11tarian, '27. Grace constantly reminds one of the humming-bird. Both are petite, pretty, and possess within so small a compass undreamed-of energy. Thus both, in spite of their ease and grace of manner, are tremendously efficient. But here the simile ends, for Grace has further charms than these. She has besides, intelligence, relinement. and depth of character with a line sense of humor, and. at times, a certain rc-guishness of which one would never suspect her. When one realizes that she possesses also executive ability and literary talent, it is not difficult to see that she has made her college life a real career. But she has also made it a joy for those who know her well, contributing to it a deep understanding. remarkably acute judgment, unfailing loyalty, and enthusiasm for both work and play. She has kept up, besides, certain outside interests which may yet interfere with her chosen career of school- ma'am. 1 3 4 lags fifty-swell
