We are grateful to the burg which sent him, for we never ' could have been happy without the sunshine and congeniality which characterizes old George. We chose him to serve on the refreshment com- mittee of a prospective banquet. His report was, life is a desert devoid of oases g but it is feared that the committeeman and an oasis cannot exist together., One will conquer the other. It takes a large drink to carry a camel on a long journey. George admires Venus de Milo, and got some great ideas from her. But the Officer of the Day disagreed with him, and the Commandant decided that Venus could best be represented in marble. George is not such a shining light in the social world, but he has had many invitations to dinner in a city where he is not so well known. He says little about these, but it is rumored that the hostesses are charming young Charleston ladies. He also receives a regular letter from Spartanburg. Carrington decided, along with representatives from Landrum and Walterboro, to further cultivate that convincing line of his. Someone evidently Tipped him off that English-Biology would be useful to him in his future war on mosquitoes around Spartanburg. , George's athletic activities have been confined mostly to the sidelines, where he has helped to. win many a contest by his lusty cheering. He is ll strong supporter of every Citadel activity. I As you go out in life, you have ther best wishes of the Class of Nineteen-Twenty. May you always meet with success.

Probably this is why Brad is so fond of sports of all kinds, 4' ' M especially indoor ones. He is a member of Room 50, which is one of the most popular rooms in school-always being full of visitors. In the Academic department, he has always stood among the first. In his Senior year, he elected the Engineering course and, if he decides to make this his profession, in a few years he will undoubtedly be one of the country's prominent Engineers. Brad has had his Mups and downs in military, but he is finally winding up his military career as a Lieutenant, and he now holds the position of Clerk to the Commandant, which shows how much confidence this individual has in him. Even tho he has achieved great honors in the military and Academic departments, they cannot be compared with those that he has won in the social world. His four years' experience in the Polytechnic Literary Society has fitted him with a good line, with which he has won the hearts of many fair damsels. Since becoming a Senior, almost every Sunday night has found Brad at the fireside of some Charleston belle. Bradley's nickname, Sunshine, characterizes him perfectly. He always looks on the bright side of everything, and always has a pleasant word for everyone. Un any serious question, one always finds Bradley on the right side. He believes in having a good time, but when the time for business and work comes, he is Johnny on the spot. He is a true, honorable, and lovable Cadet, and to part with him will be one of the biggest trials of his Class, and of the entire Corps.

'ir OW shall we be able to do justice to the capacities and the services of this, the most unselfish, energetic member of the Class of Nineteen-Twenty? A rapid enumeration of his achievements must suffice. Vernon came to us from North Carolina. Even in his rat year his high sense of responsibility and duty made it evident that he was to be success- ful in his career at The Citadel. His efforts and ability in military matters have long been realized. Then is it surprising that he is graduating as captain of li Company? But this has been only a small portion of his success. With indefatigable energy he has built up the Citadel Y. M. C. A. to a po.int of popularity unprecedented in its entire existence. He has given a large portion of his time to the interests of the Literary Societies-not to mention his accomplishments as a member of the Triangular Debating Team. In sports, he has shown an une tiring zeal for tennis, and has successfully managed and captained that team for two years. Vernon has never taken any vast interest in any one social function-the dances in particular, but in this, his Senior year, he has made his debut, and now comes a realization of what he has missed-all for the sake of---! Another tribute of faith in this big-hearted class- mate is the position he holds on the Honor Com- mittee. And as Editor-in-Chief he is largely re- sponsible for this edition of The Sphinx you are now reading. Only his unceasing efforts, and a sacrifice of studies and personal desires, have made this publication possibleg VVe now hope that you have at least a dim com- prehension of the sterling qualities of this member of the Class of Nineteen-Twenty. We could not do without him, so, in parting at graduation, we feel that even better things, a wonderful future, await him. He accomplishes whatever he sets out to do, and today the world is eager for men of his caliber. 1.
