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.

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.

C. Give to the world the best thafs in you And thc best 'fvill come back to you. The old North State may well be proud of her Erskine sons. This year Erskine is sending out another. To say he is a worthy son of his state is enough. Livy was born near Matthews and has always made that his home. Perhapfl it was the lofty mountains near his home that has given him his traits of character. In him we see something of the staunchness 'of the mountains, something of their serenity, some- thing of their lofty outlook on life. His char- acter is to be admired, his reputation envied. I-le has made good in the class room as well as on the campus. ln all phases of college life he has played his part well. Believing in the three-fold development of man's nature tmind, body and spiritl, he has closely allied himself with the Y. M. C. A. He is one of the most active and influential members of the associa- tion, having held the oiiices of Vice-President and President. The following society offices and the celebrations that Livy has participat- ed in attest to his ability and loyalty: Sec., Vice-Pres., and Pres.g Freshman declaimer '17g Soph. debater '18, and Pres. of Semi-An- nual '20. His two favorite sports are horse-back riding and tennis. Because of his interest in this line he was elected Mgr. of tennis in '20, But not only in books or platforms has he participated. ln the social side of life he takes an active part. For four years he has been a member of the Glee Club. Whenever there is any singing going on he is present. We find that Livy has not neglected the more delicate and beautiful side of life. He is ever faithful to his interest on Forbidden and at Soirees. Such is the man. For such there can be but one road in life-Success.
