In iqiq Rudy joined the Freshman Glass, and by dint of constant application to tasks allotted, and natural brilliance, he graduated with the Class of ' 22. performing the unusual feat of attaining a degree in three years. However, it was strenuous work, so now he is back in the social classes. leaving no stone unturned which might possibly conceal some pleasure. Rudolph often reminds us that he is an engineer, and verifies this by numerous accounts ot his work on the Mississippi levees last summer. .According to the number of darke - laborers he says he pulled from the angry and turbulent currents, it seems more plausible that life saving should be his chosen field of endea or. .Aside from all satire. Washington and Lee loses a worthy son of whom she may well be proud. Rudy is a man four- square and genuine, of genial disposition, optimism not excelled by Coue ' s, and count- less other sterling qualities. We say that he will be a good engineer. Luck to you, Rudv. 1923 William Dennison Kelly Bluefield, West Virginia 4 K ! ' ' ; David C. Humphreys Engineering Society: Basketball Squad, j, 4. Carrying with him the united well wishes of his host of friends on the Campus as well as the coveted sheepskin, Bill was grad- uated this year with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering. .After having be- gun his studies elsewhere, Bill finally selected Washington and Lee as the insti- tution in which to round out his education. .As a member of the Varsity basketball squad for the last two years, he has demonstrated that participation in athletics has in no way detracted from his ability to gather in high grades. Whatever may be the stability of the things that Bill may erect for the world in the future, it is certain that the columns ot friendship which he has built up during his stay here will remain standing for all time. A true tricnd and a gentleman. Bill leaves the Campus with the heartiest good wishes of all who know, him r s c Seventy-nine

Humphreys Engineering Society: Ring-turn Phi Staff, j. 4: President Senior Science; Student Assistant Physics, 2, j; Student Assistant Civil Engineering. 4. 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, .

CALYX Weldon Thomas Kilmon Painter, Virginia Varsity Wrestling Team. j. Another man has earned his reward! We used the word earned advisedly. Weldon Kilmon wasn ' t born with a silver spoon in his mouth and now he does not expect nature to dish him out her beatitudes on a silver platter. Kilmon decides what he wants and he goes after it. Josh Billings once said to a youthful protege, Consider the postage stamp, my son, its usefulness consists in its ability to stick to one thing until it gets there . Kilmon has learned this lesson and has learned it well. Quiet, unassuming, unobtrusive, he takes a lively interest in his fellow man. He has a large number of friends among both sexes, which is to be expected since he possesses the true basis of friendship — the quality of being a real friend himself. 1923 . Sf William Lester Leap Roanoke, Virginia Manager Track, 4: Calyx Staff, j: Mink Staff, 2; Arcades Club: Physical Education Scholarship, 2: Assistant in Physical Edu- cation, J. Bill was cut out for science; there is no doubt of that, and he has made an excellent record in it. But study hasn ' t made a slave of him. His ability at mixing chemicals seems, in spite of the modern theory, to have been carried into all phases of his out- side life. Bill is a good mixer, and the result has been the formation of many friendships as a permanent compound. As a Senior manager of track, Bill has made for himself a reputation for thorough- ness and loyalty in carrying out his job. As a student he has done well, and as a man we wish for him the happiness and success that he deserves. Eighty
