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.

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,

David Ross Kennedy was born Sept. 17, 1895, to lVlr. and lXfIrs. A. S. Ken- nedy, of Due West, S. C. Graduating from the D. W. H. S. with honors, he chose Erskine for his future Alma Mater. The catalogue of honors below are evidence enough of his ability, influence, popularity, and sincere intentions. In his Freshman year he won the Mower Medal, offered to the best orator in college. His literary genius is shown in that he has held almost every office in his society, serving faithfully as Secretary and Treasurer, Vice-President and President. In his Junior year he was elected As- sistant Marshal, and in his Senior year Chief Marshal for the celebration. He is the most promising representative in the S. C. I. O. A. contest and is taking an active interest in the I. P. A. contest. His wit and humor were made manifest at the Junior-Senior banquet, as Toast- master. 'fBuck has always shown a great in- terest in athletics, and was elected Presi- dent of the Athletic Association for IQI6. Buck has not been a regular on the baseball team, but he has been a faithful scrub and if he strikes out four times, out of three times up you can know that the wind is against him. But when it comes to tennis Buck is hard to beat. He was elected the second best player in college, and was one of Erskine's representatives this year, and in the end they were found in the finals. Endowed with all the qualities of a good student, we predict for him a great success in future life. ll lllllllll ll ll lllll lllll l I Ill ll l lllllllllllllllll l llll l I lll l ll
