Life is a jest, and all things show it: I thought so once, and now I know it. Due West, from which has sprung so many great men, may well be proud to call this the birthplace of Francis Ebenezer Crier. One reared under the environments that have been Ebe's will not be surprised that he has alawys been a great admirer of the fair sex. Diagon- ally across the street from his home is the Woman's College, and he has gazed at thezn until it has almost become a second nature with him. He finished the course at the Due West Graded School in due time, and the day he matriculated in Erskine College was red letter day in the calendar of the 1920g because on that day there added to our class who was to be a valuable asset. Whether it be in the class room, in the society, or on the athletic field, Ebe has al- ways delivered the goods. Although he has never been a star in either baseball or in foot- ball, yet when it comes to tennis he may be classed as one of the best in the state. He represented Erskine in 1917-18, and will, without doubt. he on the team again this year. class of WHS 0118 The high estimation in which he is held by his fellow students Cannot better be told than by the honors they have given him. He has been President of the Euphemian Societyg was elected Freshman declaimer in the Semi-An- nual Celebration in 1916-17g won the society medal that year as the best Freshman de- claimer, and was the Senior debater in the celebration this year. His executive ability is shown by the fact that he was elected Man- ager of baseball and Advertising Manager of the Erskiniana this year. Ebe is an all-round good fellow, and when with the class of '20, he goes out from us, we will indeed feel the loss of a friend.

MOFFATT GRIER BIGHAM CHESTER, S. C. Too low they build who build beneath the stars. ' Chester, the city of seven hills, from whence so many of Erskine's loyal sons have come. may well be proud to lay claim to this man. Moffatt, better known as Teepy, enlisted with the class in the fall of '16, and has done well his part throughout the four long years. ln his studies he haS proven himself to be a man of marked ability and keen intellect. Ever loyal to his society, Euphemia has recognized his ability and rewarded him with the follow- ing honors: Sophomore declaimer, '17g Pres- ident, '20g Senior debater, Semi-Annual Cele- bration, '20, As further evidence of his lit- erary ability he was elected class prophet. He is an artist of no mean ability, having con- tributed a number of drawings to the annuals of '17 and 18. This year he is Art Editor of the Annual. He plays tennis well. Nor in these fields alone has he striven. A lover of the beautiful, for four years he has been faith- ful to one on Forbidden His course along this line seems to be successful also, and the chances for him to secure his sweet reward seem to be high. As to the man himself-mod- est, kind-hearted, polite, brilliant, cultured- that's 'iTeepy. The purity of his life and the staunclmess of his character testify to the true gentleman. Teepy is a 10070 optimist. Wherever and whenever he is seen, he is wear- ing a cherry smile. He scarcely knows what anger is. Only once has he been seen slightly ruffled in temper. One day in Chemistry Laboratory, when a careless student spilled some nitric acid on his trousers, he flared up momentarily. As he goes forth in life he is admirably equipped for anything that life may bring, and he has persevered, and to him who perseveres there is no such thing as failure.

Speech is greatg but silence is greater. i The town of Abbeville, S. C.. andathe - 5 ,1l' world in general may well bless the 17th day of April, 1899. For genius is not born every day, and it was on thiS spring day of the last year of the 19th century that James Riley Hill first surveyed this old world through a pair of unsophisticated and wondering eyes. At the youthful age of seven he made his debut in the Public Schools of Abbeville, where he continued for ten long years. But the scene changes. in the fall of 1916, Jimmie betook himself to Clemson College. Here he survived two weeks under the rule of the omnipotent Sophomore and then, showing a rare display of brain work, gathered up his belongings and returned home. And thence he came to Erskine in .lan- uary, 1917, where he entered the Freshman class of '20, and has ever since been an asset to that institution. Jimmie's diminutive size has kept him from taking part in athletics, but in many oth- er phases of college life he has been not only an active participant but a leader. ln acad- emic work he led his classes his junior and senior years. In Literary Society work he has always taken an active part. And last, but by no means least, we must consider .limmie's relations with the ladies, or rather the lady, for there is only one for .lim- mie. His heart seems to have found a safe harbor on Forbidden, for he has been a faithful and constant frequenter of that dear old street for two years. Erskine recognizes and rewards true genius whenever she sees it. Therefore Jim- mie has been the recipient of the following honors: Marshal, Semi-Annual Celebration, 19183 Marshal, Joint Celebration, 1918, Chief Marshal, Commencement, 1919g President .lun- ior Class, 1919g President Philomathean So- ciety, 1920, Editor-in-Chief of Annual, 19205 Debater, Semi-Annual Celebration, 1920.
