In the lirst class mentioned we place VVilliam NValkup Boyce, who began his career of good- ness November 20. 1888. at Gastonia, N. C.. where, he was doubtless held up as a model to ,all the young sinners. In order thatyliis physical might correspond with his moral straightness, he entered Catawba Military ,Academy to be prepared for college. After Iinishing there, in IQO5, he came to Erskine. 'where his reputation for goodness has not suffered. For the Euphemian Society he has served as president on the semifannual of 'Oo and for his class he has served as class poet, As ll matter ol course. we must record the lacl that he is president of the Y.

Blackwell were made glad by the gift to them of a boisterous, bouncing boy whom, lest he make too rapid progress, they weighed down by the dignified name of VVilliam Plumer. VVhen he had attained a sufficient number of years, he was sent by his parents to the school of the place to be trained in the way he should go. and then by natural' sequence to the preparatory department of Erskine, in 'o3. Dropping out a year, Plumer entered the present class as a Sophomore in 'o6. I-Ie was appointed in 1908 by the faculty to contest for the Greenwood appointment, and he spoke with great credit in the prelim- inary contest. XY11,l,i.xxi XX',xl,i4i'i' lloyei-i. hllq. IO
