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.

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.

Our wedrling day grows niglzer And our love star climbs higher Every second, , And eartlfs time for us grows sliglzlcrf' The world cricd for men. This William liratton Scoggins, son of Mr. and Mrs. .l. J. Scoggins, of Smyrna, S. C., answered the cry. Feeling duty thrust upon him, he desired to prepare for his life work. He entered the great battle for intellect, starting his campaign in the Smyrna High School. After fighting hard, a call of Due West cameg he heard the call and appeared on the threshold of another great campaign. Having won his great victory in the Due West High School, he felt that great- er battles were yet to be won and entered Ers- kine College. The battle here became dull and he returned to his former labors for two years, returning to complete his campaign with the class of '20, Scoggins has not only fought for truth, but has fought as a good soldier in every walk of life. The Euphemian Society claims him as her son. He has not failed to receive honors here. He has held the offices of vice-president, monitor, and represented the society as Sen- ior orator in her Semi-Annual Celebration. His literary attainments are class poet of '19, short story editor of Erskiniana. His favorite game in the sphere of athletics was football. While he was a member of the football squad he played well his part. His life is like a river Howing to one great end, carrying with it cargoes of great wealth. He has stopped at many ports and left many friends. Silent, though deep, he moves, bearing the many trials of life. He moves slowly, but surely, to that goal which all men seek, which at last flows out into that great beyond, and carrying with him these great truths that he has striven to store up.
