RAYMOND CLIFTON LIPPARD, Woodleaf, X. C. ' rather far that 1 should die Titan my predictions prove a lie. A. B. Phi. Age, 23 years. Height, 5 ft. 10 in. Weight, 155 lbs. Second Supervisor in Society; Intersocietj Dehater: Class Football team tun years; Class Baseball team two years ; Council on Debating two years; Yice-Pres. Society; Pres. Society The pride of Woodleaf was not long content to remain in his first years of obscurity. He has used his lips to such good effect that he has repeatedly represented his society on the worthy field of battle. His body has been no less active than his brain pushing his class foot- hall and baseball teams to many a hard fought victory. His motto is. If Lippanl says so, it ' s 50, and his favorite occupation is letter writ- ing and using the phone. GEORGE WHILDEN MACKEY, Greenville, S. C. thank whatever gods there be For my unconquerable soul. l; Eu. Vge, 20 years. Height, 5 ft. 7 in. Weight, [55 lbs. Marshal, ' io- ' ii; Pres. Society; . M. C. A. Cabinet; Gymnasium team. George is a stud in the Gym., and a good student on the Senior Bible (this is an honor that but lew are ever entitled to), and is noted for going to V. M. C. A. But he has a voice! And the sad part 1- that he is the only one who knows it. although he has tried several times to get elected to the chapel choir. George is a quiet fellow and is well liked bj everybody; there are few better men in college: in work, in character, or in ability. 2?

Df.WITT kluttz, Chester, S. C. Suit the action to the il, the word to the actum. B. S. K.2. Gryphon. Age, 11 years. Height. 5 ft. ii 111. Weight, 164 lbs. Varsity Football four years; Varsity Base- hall iram four years; Varsitj Track team four years; Captain Class Track team Fresh. Mar; Captain Varsity Football two years; Captain Varsity Baseball team Senior year; Pres. Ath- letic Assn. Senior year; Pres. Wearers of the ' ! : Coach Soph. Football team Senior year. Our Star athlete His position as all-South- ern end is a witness of bis ability to put out a winning team on both gridiron and diamond Being from the town that claims Jack John- son, of pugilistic fame, we expect as much. He is a hard bitter, persistent player, fleet runner, and always gets there. But DeWitt is more besides, a notable heartsmasher, a sound sleeper through chapel, and is a senior partner in the firm of Kluttz Moore. He stands in the good graces of the ladies as well as of the Faculty and students AUGUSTUS LEAZAR, Mooresvhxe, N. C. Flippant fluency of tongue. B. S. Phi. Age 21 years. Height. 5 ft. 10 in. Weight. 135 lbs. Third Prize Fiction Contest. ' 09; Editor Quips and Cranks two years; Tennis team, ' io- ' i 1 ; Kodak Club. Gus is a son of rest, even if be is known as cuss leisure. A pure optimist by nature, he always sees the bright side of life, lie dresses well, is a ladiesman of no mean repute, has numerous poetic tendencies, and talks! Oc- casionally he stops for breath. When it comes lo describing Europe, John Stoddard ' s lectures are not in it.

WILLIAM TH OMAS MANN, Matthew s, N. C. Grace doth make man irresistible. A. B. Phi. Age, 24 years. Height, 6 ft. I in. Weight. 170 lbs. Sec. Phi. Society. ' 08; Vice-Pres. Phi. So- ciety, ' 09; Marshal, ' oq- ' io; Class Football team; Scrub Football team; Sub-Varsity Foot- ball team; Glee Club; Track team; Vice-Pres. Ministerial Band. One of the biggest sports in college. He often sings with becoming grace in the church choir, and most manfully in the chapel choir. But he can use his body equally well as he has demonstrated on the football held. His good nature and affable manner have won him many friends in college. He is a most persistent student of Homer and Philosophy, but always has time to sell you a pennant or a pair of shoes. He is not afraid to destroy the sym- metry of his pompadour by an occasional after- noon nap, nor does he scruple to imprison his feet in the narrowest confines possible. MICHAEL MAR V( SIP, Urumiah, Persia. And when a lady ' s in the case. You know all other things give place. B. S. Phi. Age. 26 years. Height, 5 ft. 7 in. Weight. 150 lbs. Marshal. ' o8- ' og; Junior Commencement; Orator ' s Medal ; Intersociety Debater; Leader Volunteer Band; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, ' io- ' li; Pres. Cosmopolitan Club. ' 09; Class Football team three years; Valedictorian Phi. Society; Pres. Society. A genuine Persian importation; a globe trot- ter who has brightened this particular part of the globe for the past tour years. He sings so melodiously in the chapel choir that wi always wondered why he did not join the Glee Club, but he has preferred to exercise his tal- ents in other directions. As a marshal, as a debater, as an orator of the first rank, his ability has been shown; but his claim to lasting fame rests on his conquests of the fair sex. As a charmer, Mike is irresistible.
