Ile ll'fII'lH'1ll. more from teltdrt' loolrcs find witelting smiles, lfzmt front his bftokcsf' .lim's literary inclination and his pursuit for knowledge led him to come to 'Erskine Col- lege to join the class of 1919. He stayed with this class through his Junior year, but during the vacation he answered the call of his country and went overseas to fight the Hun. Jim was not to let this hinder him from continuing his education and the class of '20 was fortunate. indeed, to have him cast his lot with them during his Senior year, Tltrougltout his college career, i',lim has always taken an active part in athletics. On the gridiron he has always showed up well. He played varsity ball his Sophomore, Jun- ior and Senior years. Nor is he lacking on the baseball diamond as is Shown by the fact that he has played two years on the varsity nme. Jim is a member of the liuphemian So- ciety and he has been a faithful worker and a loyal member. He has held a number of offices in the society and dttring his Senior year served as president. Jim has done good work in the class room. Although he has never hurt himself studying, yet he was always able to make good grades. This is not the only side of .Iim's life, for during his early college career he was a fre- quent loafer on Forbidden, and he still seems not to have lost his interest in the weaker sex, for whenever any W. C. girls make a week-end trip to Willington he makes it convenient to go home. Jim is liked for his kind-hearted and generous nature towards hiS friends. As Jim goes out from Erskine College his friends feel confident that whatever he under- takes will be carried out with the same zeal that has been characteristic of him dttring his college course.

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.

Nels was first heard in Havana, Arkan- sas. in the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Nel- Son on the 9th of October, 1899. Several things were decided then and there by thc happy parents. Of these things l know only Iwo---first. his name should be Robert Olivet and second, being good A. R. P's., he should come to Erskine. l leave it to the reader lo guess whether he has fulfilled the rest of their ambitions. After receiving a high school diploma he sailed for Erskine. He soon joined the Philo- mathean Society and began a wonderful career as a society worker. First he was Freshman declaimerg then Sophomore debaterg won the Sophomore essayist's medalg delivered the diplomas his Junior yearg won the .lunior de- baler's medal, and was Senior orator. He has served his society in the capacity of president, and secretary. But this is not the only side of 'fNels ' lilo. He stands high in the class room, man- aged football through a successful season, and is seen on the side line at every game Erskine plays, giving the players all the support he can. Another side of Nels ' college life was shown in the part he took in the Y. M. C. A. He gave that association three years of good service on the cabinet, serving as treasurer one year. His popularity with the students was shown in his being elected president of the student body. Last but not least, Nels fell from grace his Sophomore year and was numbered among those whom Peg liked to restrict from the Soirees. And if Nels can persuade a cer- tain young lady to come live with him, so that he will not be continually running up to Gas- tonia, we predict that he will accomplish his mother's and father's greatest ambitions.
