Ted has been into something ever since his Freshman year, and no matter what it is, success always seems to be forthcoming. .Although it appears that he does everything with equal success, art is really his hobby. Given a pencil he can write a story, or a poem, or draw a picture — and do either one with equal ease. Scholastic honors seem to have all come his way, but academic pur- suits have not taken all of his time. He has taken an active part each year in the art work of student publications, and has played successfully in the Petty Players. Ted is thoroughly steady and dependable, and has made many friends both at college and in Lexington. His school da s will probably not be over for several years, but when he enters upon some lifework we can safely say that he wi be successful. 1923 Lee MoNCRiEF Harrison Bluffton, Georgia 2 N; Xr0; W.

In iqij he left Emory, and after serving two years in the Ordnance Depart- ment of the Army as Engineer of Tents he came to W. and L. in iqiq. Though he is getting an A.B. degree here — and an honor man in all departments — he has especially distinguished himself blowing up test tubes, etc., around the chemistry lab. He was not with us in iqzi-iq22, but returned for the iq22-iq23 session to run the chemistry stockroom and obtain his degree. Sixty-four

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

JUDSON BUNYAN HoLLOWAY Milton, Florida AX A; tS. C; Graham-Lee Literary Society, i; Secretary Promotion Force, i; President S. C, 2. Vice-President, j: Editor Y. M. C. A. Handbook, 2. Student Secretary Y. M. C. A., j: Overseas Club: Y. M. C. A. Scholarship, i: U. D. C. Scholar- ship, 2, J. Jud has had quite a checkered career for one of so staid actions. He is an Alabam- ian by birth, a Floridian by migration, a Virginian by coercion, and a South Carolin- ian by desire. Being thus so widely known, his popularity at Washington and Lee has been meteoric. Jud was in the world war and was kept overseas for nearly a year. It was after this conflict that he laid aside the regalia of a business man and became the ardent devo- tee of a higher calling. His sincerity of purpose can best be understood by exam- ining the records of the Registrar ' s office and thus realizing why he gets his degree in three years. Being able to do things when called upon he has been called into service in numerous school organizations May good luck and prosperity always v accompany you. jud ' 17 V Frank Benjamin Hurt Ferrum, Virginia Hurt made his first appearance upon the Campus in the Fall of iqii. He decided that W. and L. was the proper place to win that coveted sheepskin, after having spent a couple of years at Randolph-Macon. He came to us with an enviable record which he has maintained while here by his con- sistency and studiousness. High and exalting though his class-room work must appear, it is not chiefly as a student but as a man that he affects us. He possesses those sterling qualities that make for success. All his interests are directed toward a purer and freer development of whatever is noblest in life. Into everything that attracts him he throws himself with feverish energy. We feel sure in our prophecy that whatever profession he may decide upon, wc shall count him as a leader. Sixty -five
