John Lai rance Ask ins. H.S. I.AKB CITY, SOUTH CAROLINA RamcA Clam: IMu iitloii Club; Y. M. C. A.: Ad«l| lilnn Literary Rocloty. Laurie proved to be the better half of a pair of twins from Lake City by finishing bis course at Furrnan. As most princely boys arc, Laurie is very modest; in fact, so modest that we find it hard to say what he intends doing after he finishes school. From a close observation of his four-year schedule, however, we have concluded that he will be a chemist. Whether inherited or acquired since being at Furman, he is certainly the ladies’ man of the class. Fred Bagwell, B.A. GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA A'lelphfnn Literary Society: Y. M. C. A.: Tennis club. ’22. ’23, ‘St: Claim Rnskctl nll, ’24; Baraca Clans. Fred is one of “Greenville’s own. Although living off the campus, he has related himself to every phase of college Iffe in a very unusual way. To sec ••Senior” without his smile would he about as much out of the ordinary as to see a flivver without a knock. We are not sure just what will be his profession, in fact, we doubt whether he himself knows, but we arc certain that whatever activity he does choose will be highly honored by his achievements. His hobbies arc a pipe, P. A., and Pete’s. It is rumored that Fred has been engaged by one of the large collar manufacturers to pose as a model for collar advertisements, but this rumor has not been confirmed. We arc counting on you, Senior.”

David Bright Alford, B.S. I.ATTA, SOUTH CAROLINA Education Club: Adclphlnn Literary Society, Senior Cointor. Kail Term. '23; Vle«-President. SprliiK Term. '24; Bnrncn Claw . “J . B. comes first in the tlas$ of ’24 in more ways than mere alphabetical classification, lie is one of those quiet, good-natured, pleasing persons who is always ready to answer the call of duty, and one who stands for the highest and noblest in all things. IX B. has always taken an interest in all college activities. Also he has expressed more than casual concern in regard to a certain institution in Rock Hill, and this fact probably accounts for his having taken his high school education at Winthrop Training School. These few lines attempt to sum up the characteristics of a man we so greatly admire, and one whose memory will always be fresh in the hearts of his fellow-students. Ct RTIS StKPHKX Axdf.rsox. B.S. WOODRUFF, SOUTH CAROLINA I'hllosophlun Literary Society; Y. M. C. A.; Education Clul»; Tennlx Club. ’21. ’22. ’23, '24. Here you sec the angelic profile of one of Woodruff’s most prominent citizens, that of Curtis Anderson. “Curt” came to Furman as one of the many unknown possibilities of the great rat” class of 1920. But, during the fallowing years, he has established his individuality, and now we know him as Curtis, with all his easygoing manner and conservatism. Curtis has been prosperous enough to maintain a Ford during the greater part of his college career, and he takes his physical exercise in engineering it. He specialized in Education, and if he can only polish up on the phrase, “I’ll just throw that out for what it’s worth, he will, no doubt, become one of the leading Education instructors of the state.

Blackwell is a m»ii of whom Chesterfield County may well feel proud. Ilis career at Furman has been marked by a devotion to duty which few students have equalled. Throughout iiis course he has made consistent progress. Furman rarely sends out a graduate who is a more well-rounded man. Ilis unusual ability and enthusiastic college spirit have won him many positions of high distinction in collegiate activities. His friendly smile, his genial disposition, and his ready wit have won for him a warm place in the hearts of all his fellows. Furman is counting on Blackwell. Ccrtis Vance Bishop.

In 1919. Curt entered Richmond College to leave two years later with an enviable record. In 1921 he won the honor of being the only Sophomore at Richmond College ever elected to membership in the Omicron Delta Kappa national college fraternity. Curt next taught two years at Spartan Academy. In 1922 Curt entered Furman. Since then he has made a splendid record in the classroom, and in the other college activities especially debating. English and Philosophy are his favorite studies in which he plans to do graduate work. Curt is an able student, dependable pal, and, withal, a Christian gentleman; and, if the past can index the future, his success in life is even now assured. 3?
