'JCM' ff' ,fr t.IQl'31li- R. A. ---- CLYDE. MCNEILL ' 6sM3Ck,, Philomathean Of their olvn virtues modest men are dumb. First and foremost of all Mack is a scientist and that of the lsaac Newton type. When you need any good sound advice go to Mack, as there are very few things he can not tell you something about if you only ask. Mack is one of our quiet lads who believes in keeping his eyes and ears open to what is going on in the world about him, but not in expressing himself unless called upon. As to lVlack's early history there is little known, unless we are allowed to guess that some of his time must have been taken up either in eating from a paper bag or in roaming over the country just to be riding the rails. He has shown himself one of our most loyal and indispensable class- mates. Possessing a mind that anyone might well envy, he has carried the banner of the class in scholarship during the Sophomore and junior years, and will graduate in June with second honor. To HlVlack we are greatly indebted for his untiring work as business manager in the publishing of this book. l-le is known especially as a business man, having been elected by the student body as the best business man in college, and always having been chosen manager of any project undertaken by the class. ln society work he has also proved himself as a loyal member: and as a result the society has rewarded his faithful services in electing him as its president, and as president in the Semi- Annual Celebration, l9I 5. He has made a good showing in English and his essay was chosen for the contest of the South Carolina College Press Association. In fact, there are few subjects in which he does not show a marked ability. ln the summer of l9I4 he added to his store of knowl- edge by taking an advance course in Chemistry and Zoology at the University of Virginia. And as a teacher of some branch of science next year we predict for him great success. Although Mack has not been a varsity man in Ath- lelies he has been one of its most loyal supporters and in class football he has shown himself to be a football player of no mean ability. li L

K, X . 'gf' 1- f l,f'i5i fb 5 f ' r A WALDO KNOX MCGILL lVlooley Euphemian The man lhat's silent nor proclaims his want, Ceis more than him that malies a loud complaint. Mooley was reared in Sharon, York County, S. C., and is one of the most faithful of that countyis delegation. Waldo has been working hard for four years and, the fact that he is to get a diploma this year, is due to his determina- tion and ustickabilityf' for he had to make up several back subjects when he entered college. There is not a better-natured man in the class of '15, there is not a truer frienclg there is not a more loyal studentg he has gone along quietly, l never saying much, but always on the job. Mooley has tried out for football, baseball, basket-ball, since he has been in college. He has made scrub in one or two branches of athletics, and made one of the best tackles in college when class football was organized. His hitting in class baseball has distinguished him also. You might not believe that Mooley cared for the ladies,-but he does- consider ablef, He is seen at every soiree, working with the same earnestness that characterizes his other work. It has often been reported that he was in love at the Woman's Colleg.. but each time the report was found to be untrue. He has one special who resides at Huntersville. And to call those letters that he sends in that direction volumes, would be a shame on the discrimination of words so well drilled into us by Dr. McCain. Mooley believes in working. He goes upon the as- sumption that nothing comes to him who waits. Whenever a task gets in his way he performs it without question, always working earnestly and diligently. Such character- istics will be of great help to him when he gets out into life and comes in contact with the world. If any member of our class is successful in after life, - - - Y Q Mooley will surely beg for his character and general make- l up assure us of his success. - ' 5-f' , .

El25KllXlE,L,? if t.. O ROSCOE THOMAS NELSON HROSH Philomathean He'll Ivrite a journal or heill turn divine. A more glorious day was never seen in Havana, Arkansas, than December 2nd, l893, the natal day of Roscoe Thomas Nelson, Roscoe tod- dled through the high school of his native towng and, desiring to learn more about this indestruc- tible mass, he came to Erskine.

He was successively honored with the offices of Secretary, Treasurer, and Vice-President of his society. His excellent qualities as a debater won for him the Junior Debater's Medal, and his writing ability made him the Literary Editor of the Erskinian. But RosH is no less popular with the ladies. He firmly believes that Forbidden is the most glorious spot in Due West. And if you ever wish to Find him the safest place to go is Forbidden He was elected by the students of the Womanis College as the second best-looking man in Erskine College. That perhaps explains some of his popularity with the ladies. But Roscoe has made good in other places, too. His class chose him Editor-in-Chief of the Erskinianag and, in his Junior year, made him Toast Master at the Junior- Senior banquet. His interest in athletics made him man- ager of the baseball team in his last year. Indeed, Roscoe is an all-round college man. He played class football, class basket-ball, member of the 'Saturday Morning League in baseball, a lover of the other sex, a Y. M. C. A. Workeer, a college orator and clebator of no mean qualities,-a popular man with every one.
