ESSIE ELIZABETH DAVIDSON Clinton, S. C B. S. A. maiden has no tongue out thought. Tlie class of 17 began its historij with tkree uoung ladies, and be it said to their credit, it Las ended witk all three in the final roll call. Essie came to us from the Clinton High School. She decided that she would nave to pursue her education still further if she were ever to make a success in the profession of teaching, and perhaps also in being taught (although as uet she has not seen fit to divulge to auu of her classmates who the lucku pupil will he). Her specialties have been Pedagogu and As- tronomy, of Loth of which subjects she has imbibed no little amount. We are certain that the teaching profession will gain in her a teacher of no little ability.

GEORGE RICHARD COUSAR Bisliopville, S. C. A. B. ; Phi. A faultless body and a blameless mind. Student Council; Second Censor, Secretary and Vice-President Pliilomatliiau Society; Orator s Contest; Commencement Orator; Presi- dent Sophomore Class; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet; Collegian Stall (2); Pac-Sac Staff. One ol the first things that this Bisliopville product acquired after he struck the hill was an assortment of nicknames. They called him Big George , Kaiser and Big Un . He did not stop at the acquisition of nicknames; for four rjears he has been drinking deep ol the streams of knowledge, and is one of the very best men of his class as well as the largest. He convinced his teachers in the be- ginning that he meant business, and as a result, he has to his credit a long line of excellent marks. If it could be said that he specialized tii all, Chemistry would undoubtedly be the subject in which he specialized, for he spent a great part of his time in the chemical laboratory and is one of the best chemists in College. In George we have a wonderful combination of muscle, intellect and character. If success in College can be taken as an indi- cation ol success in after life, this man will most assuredly bring honor to his College in the days which are to come.
