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

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.

XVillie, the son of lVIr. and Mrs. VV. A. Greer, received his preparatory train- ing in the Shopton High School at Shopton, N. C. In the fall of lQI2 he joined the class of '16, being the last of five brothers who have enlisted on the college roll. The class would have been incomplete if Bill had not entered at this time for in our four years associa- tion with him we have found him to be one who has stood by the class with that which we call real pep. As soon as opportunity was offered he joined the Philomathean Society, and has been a loyal and faithful member. She has bestowed her honors on him from the positions as lVIonitor to that of Presi- dent. Willie won the Sophomore Es- sayist lyfedal, and you will find at another place that he is distinguished as being the best writer in college. As a result of his skill with the pen he was elected as a member of the ERSKINIANA staff, and was also elected as Editor-in- Chief of the Erxkinizzfz. He has been a valuable man to the Y. lVI. C. A. He served as a member of the cabinet for two terms, and his high ideals and moral courage which is in keeping with his character was that which rendered him helpful to the association. He never fell a victim to the fairer sex until his junior year, when as a result of the junior-Senior Banquet Cupid's charm made itself felt, and after the above date he was seen lugging from the post-office so many letters which had written on the back, postage due, jc. that we just had to name him Sport,
