Each year we gave some of the best players to the baseball team. Since our Sophomore year, one of the players in the Tennis Tournament has been from the class of 1914. In class Foot-ball the Seniors were the champions. And now as we leave our dear old Alma Mater let us look onward not back- ward, upward not downward. With such a history as ours, she will certainly watch us, she will expect us to live up to her high ideals and be worthy sons and daughters. So may no act of ours bring shame, To one heart that loves thy name, May our lives but swell thy fame, Dear old Erskine ! ZX 18 '

Another vacation passed, September came, as it always doesg and on the eleventh we assembled in chapel as Juniors. But not as joyful as we would have been had not so many of our members been absent. There were twelve who failed to answer here when the roll was called. We welcomed Ruth Todd with pleasure to our class. Une of those absent was Bessie Lee Wliiteliead, who left us to become soon the bride of a Seminary student. She was with us Commencement of our junior year as Mrs. C. H. Nabers. In the following September our hearts were saddened by the news of her death. And we wondered why one so young and happy should be taken. S She was good and fair in youthg And her mind was seen to soar, And her heart was wed to truth. She had done her bidding here, Angels dear! Bore her perfect soul above, Seraph of the skies,-sweet love l As two of the class officers were absent, the first thing we did was to reor- ganize with the folowing officers: C. A. Fleming, presidentg WV. C. Vtfhite, vice-presidentg E. B. Kerns, secretary and treasurer, and Lillian Killingworth, historian. Although fewer in number than the years before, we could not let that year pass without doing something to make it as eventful as the others. Hence we Went to work to get back our Junior-Senior banquet. After many efforts and much pleadings. the Faculty allowed us to have it. That pleasant occasion will linger long in our memories and will brighten the thoughts of our junior year. September the thirteenth, IQI35 and we had reached our goal,-Seniors! Yet when we answered,to the call of the old college bell, it was tinged with a feeling kin to sadness: for soon we were to disband as a class. XVe were glad to have M. B. Hanna of the class of 1913 to join us, also glad that D. F. XYade decided to come back to us after spending his junior year at another college. He had declared that his heart was with us all the time. Realizing our responsibility as Seniors, we resolved to make our last years in college count for more than any other year. Our first step was to adopt the honor system in our class and to determine in as much as we were able to abolish cheating in Erskine C'ollege. Then we entered upon a task that very few classes from Erskine have been able to accomplish, getting out an Annual. At first, we met with difficulties and more than once our efforts seemed that they would be in vain. Knowing that an Annual would advertise our Alma Mater as nothing else would. we never gave up until this feat was accomplished. In athletics, as in every other phase of college life, we have done our part. 17
