Guy Alexander Huguelet, LL.B.
Charleston, South Carolina
Sigma Nu; Strollers; Henry Clay Law Society.
"And the lawyers smiled that afternoon when he hummed in court an old love tune." Since the Fall of 1912 when "Count" first entered our midst there has been a perceptible increase in the flutterings of the hearts of the fair damsels of the University. But his talents arc not alone confined to heart breaking, for he showed to the people of the University that he is an actor of some ability from the way in which he acted the part of Coach in the "College Widow." "Count" is a good student and when he-starts practicing law he is going to make the rest hustle to keep up with him.
-The Kentuckian, 1914
