Another Pickens Boy
Wins Many Honors
The Pickens Sentinel: By winning
the inter-society contest which was held
last Monday evening to select a repre
*entative for Furman'university at the
-state inter-collegiate oratorical contest,
Mr. W. E. Bowen of Pickens has been
awarded the highest honor that a stu
dent can attain in the literary world at
Furman. This gives Mr. Bowen his
sixth oratorical medal, and four of
these have been won since he came to
Furman. In 1914 he won the Rh6des
medal, given by the Philosophian society,
for which competition was open only
between the sophomore and the junior
vlasses. This same year, in a contest
open to the entire university, Mr. Bowen,
as a sophomore, won the McMillan
medal for declamation, his principal
opponents being seniors. This year, as
member of the senior class himself, he
has won the orator's medal for the
Philosophian society and the medal given
to the university's representative in the
stUte oratorical contest. In short, this
"Son of Pickens" has the unique and
enviable record of never having been
defeated in a literary contest up to the
present. Furman is expecting a great
victory at Rock Hill this year with such
a representative as Mr. Bowen to com
pete in her behalf.
Besides his oratorical achievements
Mr. Bowen has made a most enviable
record in the classroom. His unusually
high grades give him unquestioned rec
ognition as a leader of his class, and he
is held in the highest esteem by both the
faculty and his fellow-students. Last
-8pring his society recognized his ability
and popularity by selectink himi as presi
dent of the Philosophian society; and
his address as president of the society
in delivering the society diplomas to the
members of the senior class was a con
-spicuous and masterly feature of last
commencement. He has been the re
cipient of many other honors conferred
by the student body. In fact, his ca
reer at college has been one uninter
rupted succession of literary, political
and oratorical victories and honors, and
he is sure to score just as noted and
decided a success of his life-work; for it
may truly lie said that he combines a
magnetic personality with an unusually
biilliant intellect.
