? Abbeville, S. C. Knowledge is the hill which few may wish to climb; Duty is the path that all may tread. Entered College 1912; member of Philomathian Literary Society; Second Censor; First Censor; Vice-president; Assistant Manager of Base Ball team; Pac- Sac Staff 1915-16; Class Foot Ball 14-15, 1 5- 1 6; Class Basket Ball 15-16. Behold! Look upon this mass of protoplasmic organism that belongs to the specie mathonium. This specie is now almost extinct but this one Big Man, Little Man, Pretty Man, Ugly Man, Mean Man, Good Man is hard to describe but one of the chief characteristics of this almost extinct group is one leg shorter than the other. It has highly developed sensory organs, being so sensitive to the smiles of young ladies that it will walk ten miles in order to avoid the face of the feminine sex, in fact he has been declared by one as being particularly bashful. He loves to get pennants and send them that they may adorn our national capitol. His handsome face has consumed more valuable honors than the weird things told in mathematics and the deep problems that are solved in Philosophy. Hark, as he is familiarly known has never held his thoughts from any professors. He will most emphatically tell them that he does not believe it and will denounce any theory that that they advance in a most emphatic way. This same Hark through his perserverance will win his diploma in grand style, never a time has he allowed pleasure to come before duty. At all times do we find him at his post fighting the problems of a college student with a de- termination to win, and as he goes out into the world he will be among the few who will reap rich rewards.

J. W. C. Bell, Jr., B. S. Highland, Ark. Though he was rough he was kindly. Entered College 1912; Eukosmian Literary Society monitor; president, vice-president; orator in oratorical contest; orator at commencement; athletic editor of Collegian 1915-16; Advertising manager of the PaC-SaC; Foot Ball team ' 13-14; 14-15; Capt. 1915-16; 1916-17; wearer of P and two stars; Class Bas- ket Ball I 5- ' 16. The above is a real counterfeit of the harsh features of Mr. J. W. C. N. L. T., X. Y. Z. (alphabet) Bell — better known as Capt. Bell. Just as Bell heads our number alphabetically, so he heads it in Foot Ball. He enjoys the distinc- tion of having been a varsity man for three years, without having lost one single play that P. C ' s. team ever made. Billie is also one of those good fellows that one finds in novels and is noted for his cheerfulness and unselfishness. His long suit is entertaining, all of the Foot Ball men remember Those spreads. He also can entertain the ladies very well indeed, and has been a regular heart smasher with no conscience at all. Billie has a splendid business head with plenty of foresight as a sideline. And last but not least he is a good sport, with plenty of vim and an excellent personality which charms all who come in con- tact with him in becoming fast friends. Outside the many faults recorded Bell is a pretty good fellow.

Thomas Gaston Hall, B. S. Westminster, S. C. Speech is great, but silence is grrater. Entered College 1912; Member of Philomathian Society; Critic second term, 1 91 5- ' 1 6; Class foot ball 19 14- ' 15, 19 15- 16. T. G. Hall is one of the quietest members of our class. He is always thoughtful and precise in his habits, whether at work or play. Though not bril- liant, but hard working and ever on the job. Success is sure to come to one who works so hard, and for Hall we predict a bright future. Hall never re- ceived a nickname until this year. He is called Left Guard by many of the fellows, this name he won on the gridiron in the hard fight against the Juniors. Hall is also one of the charter members of the Titanic Club. Hall has been a faithful member in the Literary Society. He has always been prompt in the performance of his duty. Hall ' s motto is: Silence when you have nothing to say. Although not fluent in language he has acquired a lucrative store of know- ledge since beginning his college career. There will be a rich benediction up- on the community in which he decides to practice his chosen profession of cut- ting the dollars out of the sides of suffering humanity.
