CJ In July of the same year he accepted a similar position with the Char- lotte Evening' Chronicle. This he held until he re-entered Erskine in the fall of '05. He is a loyal member of the Philomathean Liter- ary Society, and Was her representative at the Centennial Society celebration of the South Carolina. College. But he is proficient along other lines still. He is a time athlete, being a. member of both football and baseball teams, is managing editor and associate his- torian of the Calyx, an active worker on the Erskinian, a. rare compound of oddity, frolic and fun, and an adept in love-making.

THE NAUGHTY-SIX CALYX WILLIAM A. McAULEY-' ' BILLY. ' ' HI have Scarce ever met with a man who knew more or said less. Billy is a 'tTar Heel, and the Old North State may well feel proud of her claim to him. The home of his parents CJohn C. and Jane Beard McAnleyj is Huntersville, N. C., and here he was prepared for college in the high school, where he won a medal for de- clamation. The Hrst college of his choice was the University of North Carolina, whose Freshman Class he entered in 1902, became a member of the Dialeetie Society, and was awarded the Declaimers medal. In '03 he ma- triculated at Erskine, enterine' Soph. Class, and in '04 Won the Kirkpatrick medal for ora- tory. He is a member of the Y. M. C. A.. and a staunch Philomathean. In '05 at the Philo Semi-annual he was victorious in debate, and in his Senior year was the first of his class to be chosen society president. This year he represents Erskine at the State Oratorical Con- test, and our confidence in him removes all fear of defeat.. He is local editor of the Erskinian and of the Calyx. His many friends predict for him a bright and useful future. SAMUEL NVATT RABB. t'Of manners gentle, of affections mild, In wit a man, simplicity a child.

THE NAUGHTY-SIX CALYX 17 THOMAS HEMPHILL MCDIHL- ToM. Nature listening stood And wondered at the work herself had made. Shortly after the smoke of civil battles had rolled away and tl1e roar of cannon and boom of guns had ceased 'sounding in the ears of a universe, the inhabitants of the region round about Fayetteville, Tenn., were startled one night by a marked phenomenon in the phy- sical world. The front of heaven was full of fiery shapes, of burning cressets, the goats ran from the mountains and the herds were strangely clamorous to the frighted iieldsf' An immediate investigation led to the dis- covery that to Samuel and Emma Taylor Mc- Dihl was born that night a son and nature was thus marking his extraordinariness by open dis- tortions. The lad was given the name of Thomas Hemphill. His youth was spent in de- cisive harmony with the natural scenery at his nativity, extenuating the fact that he was not in the roll of common men. His first tutelage was given at the People's and Morgan Training School in his home city, and on January 4, 1904, he entered the Sophomore Class of Erskine. His record here bespeak the greatness that his birth foreshadowed. He joined the Philomathean Society and has not failed to receive his honors here. He has held the office of president, vice president and recording secretary, represented the society at the Semi-annual debate, last year, and won the debater's medal. He is now president of the Y. M C. A. and Athletic Associationg poet- laureate and vice president of his class. JAMES STRONG MOFFATT PRESSLY- PRESS, t'Be to his virtues very kind, Be to his faults a little blind. Tennessee is the mother of this young man, who was bo1'n at Troy on March 7,lSS6, to his parents, Dr. Cornelius and Mrs. Maude Moffatt Pressly. He is one of Tennesse's many sons to come to Erskine, which he en- tered in 190-L, as a Junior. The Euphemian is the society of his choice. Don't many of us know Press on account ot' his modesty, but we wish that we did, for he is well worth the knowing. His taste runs along the line of organic chemistry: but this is natural, as he means some day to hang out an HM. D. shingle. 4 A .1 .I E T. H. MCDIHL J. S. M. PRESSLY
