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.

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.

b J. A. Flanagan, A. B Bnwlino Green, S. C Wise In resolve and patirnl to perform. Entered College 1912: Philomathian Literarv Societv: First Censor; ' 14- 1 5; Critic ' 1 5- 1 6: Pac-Sac staff 15 16; Class Foot ball 1 4- ' 1 5. 1 5- ' 1 6. Class ket hall ' 15- ' 16. Look upon this elongated specimen of humanity as he hails from the dark jungles of Bowling Gre =n, S. C. where he became so fond of looking at the realities of nature, that since coming to College it hasbeen an irresistablr temptation to withstand the call of the picture show, which in some degrees seem to take him back to his boyhood days. He is better known as Brownie or ' Flany receiving the former name which is very fitting from one of the gentle sex, who has beheld those two dark brown Oculi. Brownie is not a ladys ,man outwardly, but deep down in the secret chambers of his heart he has a hankering for those gentler ones. Some say that Brownie is bashful, but those who say it have never searched his bieast, for his fondest ambition is to be in an audience of young ladies holding them in humble submission to his hand- some face. He is one of the most widely read members of our class, follow ing closely the works of Fred Jackson, Gouvener Morris and others. Brownies character is irreproachable, being rather reserved in manner, but at no time does he object to giving his opinion on any question. Brownie is one of the few members of our class who has had the honor of going through college without failing on a single exam. And now as he rows out into the world those same high marks that he has made in college will be his ambition.
