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.

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.

i m James Herbert Powell, A. B. Bennettsville, S. C. A proper man as one shall see in a summer s day- Entered College 1911; member of Philomathian Literary society; chap- lain; Second Censor; Corresponding Secretary; Treasurer; Assistant business manager of the Collegian 1912-13; President of class 1912-13; class poet 1913- 14, 1914-15; Pac-Sac staff 1914-15, 1915-16; Secretary and treasurer Pee Dee Club 1915-16; President Marlboro Club 1915-16. Here we have one of the unknown elements, that we have been trying to analyze for the four years, but it seems that we cannot get him into solution. Powell is very quiet. He is one of the most dignified fellows in college. He is one of the best students in college, one that is never satisfied with anything but the highest. In the classroom he is one that can always be relied upon. Powell is a great poet, having been classpoet for three years. Powell ' s favorite past- time for the last four years has been walking by Thornwell, after five o ' clock in the evening. Powell is a Presbyterian through and through by faith, but at heart he is a member of Gregory ' s Catholic church. Powell like Henry IV sought Gregory for many days in the stronghold, before he was admitted.
