THE NAUGHTY-SIX CACLYX JOHN RODDY DEVLIN. 1 came here to study, and my mission I fulfilled. ' ' Mr. Devlin, the son of John A. and M. L. Devlin, was lirst aroused, October 19, 1886, in the educational center of Due VVest, by the ringing' of the college bells. He first began to store up knowledge in the D. W. F. C. Kin- dergarten, and later in the Due VVest High School, which awarded him a medal for gener- al excellence. In '01 he began his college ca.- reer as a prep at Erskine, and since that time has made nothing' but A's C95 per cent. average, in his studies. He is connected with the Philomathean Literary Society and Y. M. C. A., and is business manager of both the Erskinian and the Calyx. He is a young man of fine character and devotion to duty, and we not only wisl1, but p1'edict, for him a large measure of success in life. gala! MARGARET ANSLEY FLENNIKEN. Grace is in all her steps, Heaven in her eye, and every gesture dignity and love. Nature has laid everlasting' tribute upon the class of '06, for the contribution of Miss Margaret, who is the third daughter of Mr. and M1's. W. H. Flenniken, and was bo1'n at Wl11DSb01'0, S. C., December 17, 1885. Her early school days were spent at the Mt. Zion Institute, where she attended until the fall of '02, when she entered the Freshman Class of Erskine. Her career here has been marked bv natural ability and studious habits com- bined. She has been an active and faithful member of the Calliopean Society, which has not been blind to her iitness for its highest gifts of position. She is the historian of the Calyx, and a loyal supporter and advocate of her class. Gifted with graces rare and love- able characteristic traits, she has won her way into the esteem of every class-mate, and lI191'- its such regard from all who shall ever come within the circle of l161' acquaintance.
