In the class room, societii hall and on the athletic held he has been equalhj famous. In the classroom, though not ol the brilliant varietij, he has turned out a grade ol work that has met with the com- mendation ol the professors, and that has been a credit to him. His forensic abilities have led him to represent his societij in numerous contests, and he also won the distinction of rep- resenting his college in the State Oratorical Contest. Dick believes in the maxim, Think twice before ijou act. Indeed he generally thinks four or five times before he acts; but when he has decided, he holds to his decision with all the grinmess and tenacitij ol a bull- dog. He has planed the position of guard for four uears on the varsitu basketball cjuintet, and a good one he was, too. He was captain of the team his last near.

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.

)17 ROBERT HARTWELL HATTON, Jr. Cdinton, J. O A. B. ; Eu. Reading maketh a full man. Vice-President Eukosmiaii Societu; Orators Contes.; Representative in State Oratorical Contest. Here we nave another local product. When it comes to pulling off some dnj wit and apt saijing, Hatton is in his true element. No 1 hilosopmj lesson or other abstruse subject becomes too dnj (or his readij tongue. Hatton is veru widelu read, and never fails to give the iacts and details whenever ami thing ancient or modern is called for. He is some- thing of an orator, and often moved audiences with his eloquence. He has specialized to a more or less extent in Economics, Historu, Political Science, etc., although no subject has been hard enough to daunt him. He has probablij come nearer to sweeping the whole college course than ami other man in his class. We expect to see him bring much credit to himself and the town in which he lives. He will be a promoter of all activities that make for the good of his town and communitu. J
