Isaac Hayne '05
Lucky Bag
From the 1905 Lucky Bag:
Isaac William Hayne
Greenville, South Carolina
"Ikey" "Fatty"
One of those buxom, fat, rosy-cheeked lads that never looks cool. Has had trouble with the Language Department since entering, but did not have to resort to the use of a gramophone. Gets the real article every Xmas fresh from the cob. Usually around with Squire and Skump to help with the mixing. Got his class ring plebe year. A most valuable acquisition on a launch party, if you can keep him from jumping overboard.
"Got some hot bare, felluhs." The other McSorley twin.
"286—Hayne, sir."
Buzzard (1) Class Football (1) Rifle Team (2) Santee (2) Indiana (4).
