'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.

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.

'i' HILIP C. DOYLE, or Turkey, as he is affectionately called, is one of the many among our number .who hail from the re- nowned City by the Sea, and, moreover, he is proud of it. When first he entered The Citadel, there was nothing about him to indicate that he would reach the high position of honor and responsibility which now he holds. How little did those who were up- starts our rat year think that this particular rat would rank far above nine-tenths of them in his Senior year! But we anticipate- For two years, first as a private and then as a corporal, Turk held to the straight and narrow military path. But, at the end of the second year, his striking business ability had become so- apparent that from that time forth he was a marked man. In his third year, he was made Battalion Quarter- master-Sergeant and, if the measure of success which has attended everything of which he has been in charge is indicative of the zest with which he tackled his business problems, surely he must have welcomed his fate. Be that as it may, in this, his Senior year, Turkey is unquestionably acknowledged to be the best 'Cadet Quartermaster The Citadel has ever had. But he has found time for more than the Quarter- master Department. As one of the strongest mem- bers o.f the Calliopean Literary Society, as a star on two winning Track teams, as a member of the Official Hop Committee in his Junior year, and as Secretary of the Athletic Association in his Senior year, he has won for himself an enviable reputation. The success of the trip to Orangeburg was due al- most wholly to his untiring efforts, and the same statement may be applied unreservedly to. the success of this Sphinx, Altho Doyle has never been afflicted with the socialgcraze, he has won success in this line also. And, if there be among you any doubting Thomases, inquire why he goes around to Number --- VVent- worth Street so often? Your question is answered. So we reach the end. We part, that is true: but do. we forget? No, Turkey g never! May the success you have won, and so. well deserved, go with YOU thruout life: and may the time come soon when we shall meet again.
