CALYX George White Good Winchester, Virginia A T A; n A E; Advertising Manager, Ring- turn. Phi, j; Mink Staff, 2. Art Editor, 3, Assistant Editor 4; Band, 2. George came to us from the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and we might well stop with that remark. He early became an artist, and while at college dixided his time between drawing for the Mink and drawing drafts on his father. It is through his capacity as an illustrator that G. W. G. is best known to the students. However, George ' s talents are not limited to art, for he is well known in other circles. Recently he gave up his claim to the billiard championship in order to indulge in the popular game of golf. Owing to the con- fusion arising at the contrast of scoring points in these two games, George has not as yet broken any records. To his friends he is always bright and cheerful, ever loyal and true, and always ready to help. We predict for him much success as one of the country ' s kading illustrators, although he has hopes of be- coming a prominent doctor. Sixty-tivo 1923 Harry Louis Goodman Portsmouth, Virginia t) E n; Harry Lee Boat Club. Harry came to Washington and Lee after graduating from Woodrow Wilson High School in the Fall of iqiq. Soon after his arrival on the Campus he made many friends with upper classmen as well as Freshmen. Harry is not athletically inclined and devotes most of his time to iiis work. He is getting a certificate in the School of Com- merce this year besides his B.A. degree. This is an honor gotten by few and we should be proud to possess a man with such ability. Though not go ing out for any athletics, it did not stop him in keeping up the fighting spirit of the Generals, for he has been at all the games and always with the cheer leader in keeping that ole spirit going. Harry is quiet, modest, and unas- suming and upon his arrival in the business world he will likely reach success in a very few years.

Eco- nomics Scholarship, i; James McDowell Scholarship, 2; Assistant in Economics, j Few men of Washington and Lee have ever equaled the achievements ot Jean Ellis, of Jonesboro, Ark. From the time of his arrival on the Campus four years ago, his rise has been swift and sure, as is clearly evidenced by his election to the Executive Committee his first year here and to the same office during his fourth year — a doubk- honor rarely ever received. But those who know Jean do not wonder at his success for they realize his depth or character, his insight into affairs scholastic and social, the warm brilliance of his ready wit, and his genial likeableness Washington and Lee recognizes Jean Ellis as a student, as a friend, and as a man. Garland McClung Feamster Alderson, West Virginia Washingto ' Literary Society. 5, Publication Board, 4: Business Manager Mink, 4. During his four years in our midst, Dick ' has been an outstanding character. More than that he has acted as a weather in- dicator, for his familiar figure on horseback is a sure sign of Spring. Feamster admits that horses are his hobby. and he con- fidently tells us his ambition is to see W. and L. put a polo team on the field that will make V. M. l. ' s look like a piker. During the off seasons for horseback riding, Dick has found time to mix a bit in Cam- pus activities, having held the managerial reins of the Mink during the past year, and under his guidance, this popular comic has risen to a high place among college monthlies This son of Greenbrier is a constant devotee of R. M. W. C. and Hollins as well as of the terpsichorean art, never having missed a dance while at W. and L. Feamster numbers his friends by his acquaintances, and leaves behind him a host of well-wishers for his future success. Sixt -one

King College will have to seek quite a long time to fill the man ' s-sized shoes left there by Bruce. But ' Let the dead past bury its dead. From out of those jet black, sparkling eyes one continually sees a ray of friendliness and an ever-present desire to help his fellow man. Bruce is not the most remarkable man we have ever met. We know other men with features more fine, with a deeper sense of humor than his. He is not Wally Reid, not Rudolph Valentino, nor yet Sir Isaac Newton, but he is Bruce Gordon (which is a hundred times better than being any of these to us,) and we like him, for he is in every sense of the word a man. May his own path be filled with the happiness which he pours out so frecK to others and may he ever retain the kindness of heart and forgiving nature which is now his. William McClintic Hampton Memphis, Tennessee l rA; Junior Manager Track Team. Coxswain Harrv Lee Second Crew, 2. When Bill came to Washington and Lee he was a youthful prodigy and now when he grabs the old sheepskin he still is a prodigy with some of the youthfulness worn off. He is a shark at figuring things out, and back in 1Q20 it is rumored that he lost a bet, but most probably that is only propaganda, propagated by some of his victims. We don t mind much when Bill wins a bet be- cause what he has is always half yours. Although Walter Camp has persistently overlooked Hampton, we know that he made a great showing as a Second Crew Coxswain and that he also carries away well-earned monograms in suicide and as a member of the dancing team. Sweet Briar and Blacksburg are among his la orite haunts. Bill came to us from Blackstone Mili- tary Academy. Soon both Blackstone and W. and L. will boast of him as a distin- guished Alumnus. Willie is a good sport, true friend, and gentleman Sixtx-three
