Three states of the fair old Southland claim a prominent part in the life and history of Dad. Born at Newells, N. C., hlay 25, 1892, he resided there until Fifteen years of age. Deciding that the life of a Tarheel was not one long, sweet dream of pleasurefl he moved to his present home at Prosperity in the year 1907. He began his early search for knowledge in the schools of Newells and Prosperity. VVhen he had become somewhat proficient in the studies of the Grammar School Cno Chemistry is taught therel he went for a year to Berry School at Rome, Georgia. A diploma from this place landed him safe- ly in Erskine as a member of the Class of 1916. During the four years that Dad has been with us, he has held the love and respect of the entire student body. Noted for his pep he is always present at every game on the athletic held, and has pulled more than one game out of the jaws of defeat by his yells, Put more on lem, big boyfl Dad is as independent as the days are long, and this very fact has drawn him closer to the hearts of those with whom he has come in daily contact. One of the best debaters in college, the Philoma- thean Society, by his graduation, will lose a man whose place it will be hard to hll. As actions speak louder than nors give best the true worth of the man.

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'

To refresh the memory of past friends, and to direct the anticipations of future acquaintances, is contributed this brief synopsis of the four-year col- lege career of William David Dickey, born June 30, 1894, to Mr. and hlrs. W. E. Dickey, of Edgrnoor, S. C. The child of 'LDickey's'l tendencies in Edgmoor became the father of his con- duct in Erskine. His knowledge of the value of friendship, his interest in the various forms of athletic activities, and his marked literary attainments contrib- ute to :nake Dickey a good specimen of college manhood. Dickey played class football and baseball and was among the four best tennis players in college. But how could you expect him to be a veritable all-round athlete, when he must give his time to things of higher concern? His business and literary duties required his attention. The former were displayed as Vice-President of the College Prohibi- tion Club and Assistant Business Klan- ager of the ERSKINIANA. Dickey,' won the medals in the Euphemian Literary Society for the best Freshman De- claimer and the best Junior Orator, and represented the society on all four of her Semi-Annual Celebrations-declainv ing the first two years, and winning the debate in lIis Junior and Senior years. He was one of the two Euphemians who won the Darlington Debating Trophy in IQI5. He was one of the two wl1o rep- resented Erskine against Davidson in the debate at Rock Hill in IQI6. He was voted the best orator in college and is one of the leading participants in the S. C. l. O. A. contest. Remember and strive for what affects you most. N l llllll llllll l Y IKINI I -13' 441 I
