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.

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. 'llimc alone will tell, for she l , , , . V , p will not, but whatever she docs will be E.. 4e-.ra.:. ' Q done cheerfully, unassumingly and well.

Bob or Bz1bI2er Philomathean Fai, yet still tolerably handsome .7lloa'e.tz' yet not baslzfulf' At Due West, South Carolina, on January the 9th, 1897, is Where and when he first saw the light. He has been dwelling in these parts ever since. He came to Erskine from the Due VVest Graded School in the fall of 1912 and has been with the Class of '16 through all its thicks and thins. He has borne his part of all the honors and defeats. His Work as a student has been above the average for he has stood along toward the top of the class during the four years of his course. He has been an earnest Worker in the Y. lll. C. A. He has served his society Well both as a member and as President. The Glee Club claimed him as one of its members because of his musical ability. Although few of the college honors have fallen to him still he is always ready to help the man who has the honors. As Associate Editor of the ERSKINIANA he has rendered good service. There is one thing that we can not understand about him and that is his unusual popularity with the fair sex. He has tried his luck several times at the YVoman's College and has made a fair degree of success out of each at- tempt. lt must be his fat cheeks and brown eyes that cause the ladies to love him so. All in all we feel su1'e that he will do honor to the class of 'lim l -6- Ati l -Y'
