In the dark. backward and abysm of time, Lois Snell was shining serenely in her angel infancy. But the voice of duty earth- ward called, and she must needs obey. There- fore it was that she made her appearance, December 23, 1886, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Snell, in Cotton Plant, Miss. From the New Albany thlissl High School she came to Erskine. and, notwithstanding the fact that she had been out of school two years. entered the Sophomore class. Since that time she has been a loyal and valued member of the '09 class, one who is never satisfied until her duties are well performed. Judging that one who can see so well what she herself should do. ought also to be a good guesser at the future duties of others. the class chose her for its Prophet. 1 II llltlclj a lady in flzc case.

Surely all the luck-giving fairies were danc- ing around the home of Rev. W. A. M. Plaxcri. July 6th, 1887. For, at that time, unto him a child was born, unto him a son was given, afterwards named John Shelby Plaxco. Har- ing overcome, or got around the obstacles put in his way by zealous teachers of the Clinton High School Plaza came to Erskine, where he has maintained his record for being a gifted man. To mention the occasions on which. and the capacities in which, he has served the Euphemian Society, there is hardly room here, for their number is legion. He is local editor of THE ERSKINIANA, class historian, and a jug- gler of no mean ability. According to some reports, the subject of this sketch is very fond of red. L'Plax was debater on the Euphem- ian celebration in both his Junior and his Senior years.

He was a typical Freshman, so conscientious that he began making and has never de- parted from his lirst love. Very industrious, he taught summer school in Kelso and Fair- view, Tenn., respectively. Despite a pro- nounced proclivity to use specifying adjectives when under pressure, Shuck is a loyal mem- ber of the Y. M. C.

Although Providence saw lit to deprive James Harold Wliite, who was born at Ches- ter, S. C.. October 12, 1887, of the use of one of his limbs, in its justice it gave him strength of lung and the power of deliv- ering well, thoughts on pathetic subjects. Many times has he held the members of his society spelbound as he pleaded the cause of some poor unfortunate. The Euphemian So- ciety elected him Sophomore declaimer in '07, junior debater in '08, and one of its speak- ers to contest for the Greenwood apointment. That he might be useful as well as ornamental. the society has made him lill the seats of secretary and president.

NVe believe that he is in love with a fair damsel living somewhere between Mr. Brock's house and the lirst rail- road crossing. VVell might it be said of Baby: He is the most diligent student that ever burned the midnight oil. and the most gallant lad that ever fought for fair lady. To all of his classmates he has been, with his excellent knowledge of Greek and German, a very present help in time of trouble. blxuiis ll,xi:ol.n XXilll'l'lf. 25
