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.

? 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.

A. C. Holland, A. B Clinton, S. C. Stern men with empires in their brain. Entered College in 1914. Mr. Holland came to us from Ruskin Cave, Tenn., where he served his period of apprenticeship before entering upon his conquest at grand old P. C. He tells us that he came first in Theology, Philosophy, Sociology, and several other oligies at that institution. There is a rumor that the time he spent in the above studies was largely devoted to a campus course. His grade in the cam- pus course must not have been satisfactory, for he is at present to all an intense woman-hater, and has only turned to the pursuit of the deeper studies in which he is now engaged in order to down his otherwise insatiable remorse. Holland takes very little interest in the inter-collegiate games of P. C. and the other colleges of the State, but when the neighboring towns send their fair delegation of fem- inity Holland can always answer early to the roll call. Slander and falsehoods aside. Mr. Holland shows a surprising power of absorbing very ably and effi- ciently the branches he has selected to pursue, branches which appear to the lay student the most difficult and exacting of those offered in the curriculum.
