THE NAUGHTY-SIX CALYX R. L. JENKINS ROBERT LATHAN JENKINS-' ' PULLET. Happy am I, from care I am free, Why ain't they all contented like me? Pullet: is a Yorkville lad and has doubtless turned the old town up side down with some of his projects. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. VV. YV. Jenkins, and first appeared in a poultry ya1'd on July 19, 1884. Nine years of his life were spent in the Yorkville Graded School, and two in a private school. He is the third of his family to attend Erskine College, aml like his brothers, is a loyal Eu- phemian, and a member of the Y. M. C. A. He is a handy fellow, and is probably more so because of his connection for two years with an electrical company. Among' all the stud- ent body there is not one who is his enemy. and we predict for him a. large circle ot' friends where ever his lot be cast. MOl4'l+'A'l'T GR I ICR K ll? KPATHICK- 'tKlRK.

THE NAUGHTY-SIX CALYX WALTER MAY HUNTER-HHUNTQ' . MAMIE. No sense has he of ills to come, No care beyond to-day. With a hey and a ho, and a hey nonino, Mr. Hunter first made himself heard in this world on January 8, 1882, in the home of his par- ents, Rev. and Mrs. W. M. Hunter, near Statesville, N. C. His gray matter was first cultivated in Greenbrier Academy, Lewisburg, W. Va., to which place his father l1ad moved. For two years his services were those of a clerk in W. Va., but in '01 he matriculated at Erskine College, and since that time has been to her a loyal son. His name is found on the membership roll of the Philomathean Society and Y. M. C. A. For three years he has been a participant in the semi-annuals, and in his Freshman year was awarded a medal from his Society. We would not nn- dertake to mention the times he has been called on to play the role of marshal. He is never awed by any assemblage, and has an addiction to loquacity. BESSIE PARKS JACKSON- PUSH. Eyes that could see her on a summer day, Might find it hard to turn another way. Miss Jackson commenced her earthly sojourn in Clover,' and became a daughter to hor parents, Mr. and lVI1'S. J. F. Jackson, o11 An- gust 7, 1884. Her ea1'ly education was begun in the Clover High School, and after finishing' there, she came to Erskine, and stood in the ranks of the Fresh. During' her Freshman year she disting'uished herself in debate at the Calliopean Animal Celebration. She has been president of the Calliopean Society, was chief marshal at the annual in '04, in her Junior year was president of the Y. W. C. A., and the Y. W. C. A.'s representative at the Asheville Conference, has taught one year at Liberty Hill and proved her efficiency in this line, is associate exchange editor of the Erskinian, and secretary of her class. 45 4?

THE NAUGHTY-SIX CALYX EDGAR LONG- TOMMIE. Mislike me not for my complexion. This shaft from nature 's quiver was a cause of rejoicing in the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Long on the night of July 15, 1886. Tom- mie learned his A B C's in the Gaston In- stitute of his native City, Gastonia, N. C., and was prepu-ed for college in the Graded Schools of this same city. Since the fall of '02 Ers- kine College has been proud to claim him, and has bestowed on him a good share of hon- or. For three years he has been connected with the varsity baseball team, batting aver- age .05 in lead, 350 per cent. He is also a member of the football team, of Philomathean Society and Y. M. C. A. and has served as president and treasurer of Philomathean So- ciety, treasurer of Athletic Association, presi- dent of Tennis Club, '05, '06, debater at Phil- mathean semi-annual in '06 and several times been marshal. In '04 he was a Y. M. C. A. representative at both the Spartanburg and Asheville conventions. He stands 6 ft. 1 in. in his shoes, and can lay claim to 160 avoir- dupois, also some newly developed sporting proclivities. PAUL PRESSLY McCAIN-' ' PEEP. ' ' Few hearts like his with virtue warmed, Few heads with knowledge so informed. Mr. McCain entered into this 'tvale of tears on June 26, 1884, and since this date has made the old historic town of Due IVest his abiding place. His mother is Lula Todd McCain and his father is the noted English scholar, John Ireneas McCain, Ph.D. Though still young in years, he is not without honors. His first medal was for scholarship, won while in the ,graded school and ever since entering college he has been an A man. During his Fresh. and Soph. years he was declaimer at the Semi-annual of the Euphemian Society, of which he is a member. In his Junior year he was elected to till the vacancy of Senior Crator at the Euphemian Semi-annual, and in the same year, distinguished himself in debate at the Euphemian Annual. In his Senior year he was again chosen debater at the Semi-an- nual. He was class president in his Junior year, editor-in-chief of the Erskinian, and an active Y. M. C. A. man. 1Ve predict large things for him, even though he is rather un- fortunate in love-making. l, EDGAR LONG fi P. P. MCCAIN
