ALECKO Charles Peple Armstrong. Charlie won considerable fame in the Portsmouth, Central, and St. John’s games. His playing has been unexcelled. The substitutes were : iMarshall Smith, Gilbert St. Clair, Rector Green, Charles ' iolette, Arthur Minor, Wilbur Peyton, Jimmy Jones, Joe Jester, and Jack Reese. Marshall Beverley was the Manager; he was one of the most successful managers that has ever gone to A. H . S. And it came to pass that each of these boys acquired success in his own way and lived happily ever after. YE PEP CLUB ECHO And when that A. H. S. team falls in line, W ' e’re going to win that game another time. And for the A. H. S. we’ll yell, we’ll yell. And for the Maroon and White we’ll yell. We’ll yell a yell !

' T:he ALE CKO The hurdles were : St. John’s 0 Alexandria .... 25 George Mason 0 Alexandria .... 25 Central 12 Alexandria ... 6 Fredericksburg 0 Alexandria .... ;i2 Washington and Lee i Alexandria .... (; Woodrow Wilson 0 Ale.xandria 0 Emerson 24 Alexandria .... 0 Swavelv 18 Alexandria . .. 0 61 94 The warriors were : Captain William Travers, quarter-hack, and one of the best football players that has ever attended A. H. S., will not he here to share honors with us in ’29. We do hope that Billy’s college career will be as outstanding as his athletic career at A. H. S. Charles Williams, end, certainly has had a line career so far. Pete has the typical fighting spirit of A. H. S. He played especially well in the Central game. Julian Whitestone, guard, was an outstanding figure in many games. W’hitey is one of the best linemen the High School has known. Martin Cohen — that dashing, slashing, half-hack! We could always count on a couple of yards gain whenever he was handed the hall. Garland Sisk is one of the best tackles that has ever attended our High School. Garland was fine at bringing long end runs — to he. to an ahruj)t halt. We are very glad that we will have him next year. Paul “Chunky” Travers, half-l)ack, is a fine player. We can look up the records and find that “Chunky has always been one of the stars. Donald King, tackle. We are very sorry that “D” didn’t make the team be- fore ’2T. Because of his fine ])laying he gained great fame. Allan Dennis — the little end who always had just a little more fighting spirit than the rest. Ho]: eful “Casey” ! “Casey” certainly was an ace when it came to intercepting passes. Lester McMenamin, full-back, was one fine player. His kicking and passing have been responsible for many of the victories won l y A. H. S. Harry Barnett, guard. Uncle Mike was one of the “biggest” helps the team has had. “Mike” has been our mainstay in the front line for the past four years. ■ f Page Eighty-five

By the following you will see that the Champion’s playing speaks for them. A. H. S 25 George Mason ... 4 A. H. S 29 Washington and Lee 9 A. H. S 38 Lee Jackson ... 16 A. H.
