Born in 1897, on January 26th, she started to school at Due West, where she made a model pupil, and has contin- ued her academic career Without inter- ruption. She took a high stand in scholarship while at high school, and upon finishing there felt fully able to struggle for greater knowledge upon an equality with boys, and so came to Erskine, where she has continued to up- hold her record as a good student. In society she has had each year since she has been in college the most impor- tant part which could be given in her class in the annual celebration. She has also held most of the minor ollices of the society, and after serving one term as President was prevailed upon to accept a second term. She is a loyal member of the Y. VV. C. A., and has held the ollices of Secretary and Vice- President. lVe are all proud of the fact that llliss Lily has liked our company well enough to stay with us when all the other girls have deserted the class, and accordingly given her a place as one of the oflicers of the class, and elected her to the stall of ICRsKrN1,xNa, and to that of the de- ceased Er.v,l'i11i1111. X l XVC would not dare to predict wheth- er Lily will be persuaded by some good man into matrimony, or will be a . preacher and practicer ot woman's l , rights.

To try is to succeed is the motto of 'lBish, and he has been keeping faithfully to it ever since he first tried to smile at the admiring throng that had as- sembled around his cradle back on the 28th of July, 1896. He has had that same smile on his face ever since but when he fmakesb tries to make Wickets on Forbidden and succeeds in getting an answer he tries to make that smile truly radiant. Bish is a product of the Due. West High School and since he entered Erskine he has tried to uphold the honors of that school and has suc- ceeded well in doing the same. He tried to be one of the best students in his class and has kept up a record as being an all-round college man. He joined the Euphemian Society soon after enter- ing school and has served both college and society in many capacities. Here are some of the honors bestowed upon that versatile man: Freshman Declaim- er Euphemian Semi-Annual Celebration '13g Secretary Euphemian Society, '14: Vice-President Euphemian Society, 'I52 President and Senior Orator Euphemian Society, '16g Erslzinian Staff, ,161 Editor-in-Chief ERSKINIANA, '16: Class Historiang Treasurer of Y. IXI. C. A., '15g Treasurer of South Carolina Inter- Collegiate Oratorical Association, ,15. On account of his linquistic ability and his felicitous relations with the ladies Bish was appointed to toast the ladies of the VVoman,s College in our Junior- Senior Banquet. Bish has no mean ath- letic ability and has made the tennis team. At Davidson he defeated his opponent in singles and did his share in the defeat of the same aggregation in doubles. VVhere can you find a man with more to his credit than Bish?

LEON A'1'WooD BROWN Tru5ty Euphemian Milly trust is in duty. On April Fool's Day, in the year 1894, there came into this world at Troutmans, N. C., a tiny boy who soon came to be known as Leon Atwood Brown. In those early days he was called Leon. This same Leon finished the High School of Troutmans, but when he entered Erskine in 1912, Leon was no moreg Trusty,, was his name for henceforth and forever. No more suit- able nickname could have been found for this earnest hard-working student, who knows not what it is to shirk a task or beat a classfl Life with him is no April Foolg it is a stern reality. Though he has not attained honors in scholarship, yet he has for two years been voted the hardest working student in college. His Sophomore Essayist's Medal from the Euphemian Society at- tests to his work in society, and his place on the ERSKINIANA staff proves his literary worth. He also is the College Reporter to the State. In Y. IMI. C. A. work, Trusty has always taken an ac- tive part, serving on the cabinet for two years and representing Erskine at Blue Ridge Y. IW. C. A. conference in IQI4. But 'lTrusty is not perfect. He es- pecially likes the hotel parlor on Satur- day evenings, and occasionally he may be seen strolling down the street by the side of a fair young maiden. Then he spends entirely too much time over his books and too much time to himself. He has not had much of the fun of col- lege life because he hasn't had time. But he has remained true to his nickname. and the firm measured tread of Trusty's feet may yet make real foot- prints on the sands of time.
