Rhodes cnxiablc career is the result of a certain combination hard to defeat — work and ability. Grades above the average for four years prove that he is a fine student; service on three publications establishes his place as a journalist; the managership of the 23 Basketball Team is a fitting recognition of his capacity in that field. Rhodes has spent his time at college un- usually well. The above achievements, however, have not consumed the whole of his effort. Few bull sessions have been conducted with- in his reach at which he was not present. Being of an unselfish nature he has given to many fluttering hearts, from Randolph- Macon to Sullins, unforgetable thrills. We will not speak of the bright future which his record predicts, but we know that it holds for him those college friendships which will not fade and cannot die.

It is almost impossible to see him without his smile, a smile which will probably make him a prominent doctor when he takes up that profession seriously. It is fortunate that the pre-med course re- quires so much chemistry, for in the lab, Wood y has found a sure means of cheering up his co-workers at times when they would ordinarily feel any way but cheerful. Then, too, one can always depend on him to stick to whatever he has to do until it is done in the right way. If cheerfulness, humaneness, willingness, and steadfastness are qualities which make a good doctor, we can safely say that Woody will reach a high mark in his chosen work.

Carl was born in Scottsville, Virginia, October iq, iSqj, but early migrated to Millboro and completed his preparatory education at Clifton Forge High, and then in that good old school. The School of Hard Knocks. First he specialized in civil engi- neering in West Virginia, then he made good use of the knowledge gained there, in the Engineering Corps of the U, S, Army during the world war. After the war, Carl, like lots of us, decided that more education would be a great asset to him, and in iqiq he was seen wearing the little Freshman cap around Lexington. He has made himself very conspicuous in the Engineering School since then. At the end of his Freshman year he was awarded the Engineering Schol- arship, and since then has been a student instructor, first in physics and then in civil engineering. He is also an honored presi- dent this year, and we ' ll say we have a good one. 1923 FUT 33oNALD Gideon Grimley Ridgewood, New Jersey i B K ; Physics Scholarship. 2: Electrical Engineering Scholarship, . There are always a few men who are rec- ognized on the Campus as natural sharks in one or more lines, Skeet ' is one of the few recognized as a shark in all of his courses — a permanent fixture on the Honor Roll. He came to W. and L. in iqio from Ridge- wood High School, N, J , He is the first man to take the Electrical Engineering degree from W, and L. and expects to follow that line ot industry. Since his arrival on the Campus he has made a host of friends and has truly gained the reputation of being a jolly and likable fellow. We hope that the world greets him with a warm hand and his success will be as it now promises. Seventy-eighl
