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,

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

The sun must have been obscured by dark and overhanging clouds on the morning of August 9, 1894. On that day a new light appeared in the home of hir. and Mrs. 0. Grier, near the little town of Newells, N. C. This light radiated from the head of a little boy, who afterwards received the name of Boyce. Beginning his search for knowledge in the schools of lXfIint Hill Sun continued his progress through the fields of learning in Christls School at Arden, N. C. From this place he received the diploma which landed him safely in Erskine without the terrors of an entrance examination. The only word that describes his career here in all phases of college life is success His smiling face and unbounded good na- ture has brought him the merited popu- larity of both faculty and students. As a loyal member of the Philoma- thean Society Sun has been most faithful in upholding the Star, the lofty emblem of his society. His honors prove his faithfulness.
