The classic little town of Due West lays claim to the production of this illustrious son of Erskine. Born on lVIarch 20th, 1896, Killough has spent the Whole of his pilgrimage of one score years within the walls of this historic college town, graduating from the Due West High School in the year IQI2. Coming from a family of literary rep- utation, Killough has Worthily up- held the reputation. He has had little affinity for the Hcampus course, but has put his mind and energies into the more solid things. As the position of Chief lVIarshal at commencement is awarded to the member of the Junior Class having the highest average, Charles was of course the recipient of this honor in his Junior year. In his Sophomore year he won the medal offered by the Erskin- ian for the best short story, and in his Senior year was a member both of the Erslcinian and annual staff. He is a staunch Euphemian, and has served as her Vice-President one term. Charles has also been active in Y. lXI. C. A. work, having been on the cabinet two years, being Vice-President in his Junior Year. ln his Sophomore year he was a delegate to the volunteer conven- tion in Kansas City. VVhile Killough will be missed in many of the phases of college life there willibe no crepe seen on Forbidden to lament his departure, for he has shunned her snares, and soirees have been to him only hearsays. Popular among the students for his cheerful and manly disposition, he is an honor to the class, and will make his mark in life. ll 1 iuuoru ui i ui iii mm lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll ii ii i ii i iii nu i u iii W WVU ll

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

RUDOLPH BURROW MCCORMICK lfgettyll Philomathean C'riticise me if you will, I am what I am. Une of the twins born at Arlington, Tenn., August 18, 1894, happened to be Betty. His parents early realized that he had in him the elements of great- ness and so they educated him in the schools of his home town. Receiving his diploma from the High School of that place he entered Erskine with the pres- ent Senior Class. Since coming here Betty has led the typical happy-go- lucky life of the college student, making a lasting friend out of every one with whom he comes in contact. Unlike many, he succeeds in every line of en- deavor. Always being willing to do his part, he has made himself one of the most popular men in college. Above everything he has 'fthe old Erskine spirit. As a baseball player he is the terror of all the colleges of the state. In the Philomathean Society he is one of the most loyal members the society has on her roll. When Betty leaves Er- skine a man will be missed who has been of inestimable value to the student body. He is five feet seven inches of manhood. His all-round ability has given him many college honors. He won the Freshmna Declaimer's lNIedal in the Philomathean Society, represented his society as Secretary, Vice-President, lVIarshal in two Celebrations, Senior Oratorg President Class ,15-'16, Erskin- ian Staff, Basket-Ball Team '15, Foot- ball Team ,I5, Baseball Team '14 and ilj.
