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.

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.

LAWRENCE BROWNLEE STEVENSON DUE WEST, S. C. He who knows him best Loves him best. Steve's earthly career began in Clover, S. C., on the first of November, 1899. While only a small boy he moved with his parents to Due WeSt, where he received his elemen- tary education. We are grateful for the kind Providence that led Steve to join us in the fall of ,l6, for in him we have the qualities of a true gentleman. His genial personality, his modesty and his good common sense have won for him many close and lasting friends. Such qualities as these would naturally ap- peal to the weaker sex. And if we may judge by circumstantial evidence we would say that a fair lady of West Temiessee bids fair to have a large part in moulding Steve's destiny. Steve has always stood high in the class room and is loved by the faculty as well as by the students. He is a loyal member of the Philomatbean Societyg be has served as presi- dent and held practically all of the other of- fices of the society. He has represented them twice in their Semi-Annual Celebrations, once as Senior debuter and once as Sophomore declaimer. He also won the Freshman declaimers' medal given by the society. Steve is also a star on the athletic field. He was on the varsity football team '16-'17, '17-'18, and on the baseball team in '17-'18g be will doubtless be on the varsity nine again this year. The Senior class showed their high regard for Steve in that they elected him President of their class, and in recognition of his busi- ness ability, they elected him business manager of the Erskiniana. Although many honors have come to Steve, his modesty has remained unshaken. Steve is a fine fellow and a true friend and hc will never be forgotten by the many friends he has made at Erskine.
