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.

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.”

Ernest Collier Bolt, B.S. CRAY COURT, SOUTH CAROLINA Bnrftcn Cliuut; Tonnln Club; K lucmlo» Club; Y. M. C. A. E. C. Holt had the Furman spirit when he entered here in 1920. His brother of the Class of '22 had taught hint the traditions of his future Alma Mater. For these four years Holt has lived true to those traditions. His work in the classroom has been of a high type. It is characterized by the steadiness anti persistence of a loyal student. The friends who have been companions of ‘‘Josh regard him with much esteem. He is another of the Furman men whom we appreciate more as we know them better.

William Efridge Brant entered Furman in the eventful vcai of 1918; extra-collegiate duties however, have required two years of his time since he entered. “Billy ' is a good student in English and Christianity, hut he has specialized in B. Y. P. U. work. The “B. Y. P. I.’. Ford rarely rests because its master is president of the northern section of the State B. Y. P. C. Convention, and of the North Greenville B. Y. P. U. Convention, as well as vice-president of the State B. V'. P. U. Convention. There is not a student in Furman more faithful to his duties. For four years the large Baraca Class of the Woodside Mills has appreciated the valuable services of this zealous Christian. 33
