Oc 1912 Colonial Ccfto 23 THOMAS HEXL1-:Y GEDDV. Jr., Williamsburg, Va. K 2; K. OF V. F. ,• PHOENIX. Preeminently a gentleman and a scholar. A most profound runt. So small that his family refer to him as Big Brother out of pure kind- ness. For three years he has elicited wonder and admiration that one so young and fair should be such an adept at basketball: for the last two years Ik- lias not only been on the quintet, but as Manager of the team he has arranged more trips to places where he has beautiful blond sweethearts than all previous Managers combined. Politics, and a speciallj ' designed evening coat, gave him the German Club presidency. He is also a mem- ber of the N. N. O. Tottmiy is an enthusiastic alumnus of the Williamsburg High School, and lives in town, and it is said that in the summer time, when everybody has left college, he is much sought after by the fair sex. He takes great interest in James City County Court pro- ceedings, and as a legal authority, he has a very sweet voice, and plays delightfully upon both the mandolin and the guitar. Tommy can always be depended upon to make one of a plea.sant com- r.any, ami is loved by all who have ever come within llu- range of bis radiant vision.

' n CI)C 1912 Coloniiil Cci)o ALAX I ' REDERICK ENGLISH, Shamokin, Pa. n K A; K. OF V. F. ; I ' HOEXIX A rare bird, of unknown species. He came down here from Bucknell University with his mind so full of German verbs and his soul so sraurated with a scientific knowledge of every- thing, that the faculty mistook him for a brand new edition of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica, and gave him the highest scat in the synagogue. When he isn ' t winning scholarships — he has an- nexed three of them already — he writes passionate poetry and runs the college. He is a member of the Kappa Chi and the German Club, a valuable addition to the magazine staff, and Editor-in- Chief of the CoLONi, L Echo. He is essentially a primitive man, and is one of the Northern Lights and the N. N. O. He is manager of the igi2 baseball team, and has fond hopes of creat- ing many pleasant memories on the northern trip. Every other day in the week . Ian may be found m his den, reading Browning with one eye and Henry Van Dyke with the other. The days in between he employs by studying mathematics in hi. own peculiar way. He is loving and lovable, •ind if stroked in the right direction, can be fed Ipv liand.

24 € K 1912 Colonicil Crbo FREDERICK DEAXE GOODWIN, Ashland. ' a. K 2 ; I ' HOEXIX. Cutey is so bashful that we hate to print his name here, for he may read it and never recover. His chief diet is grape-nuts, that being exclu- sively a brain food. His boast is that while he has never pufTed the nauseating weed, nor sipped even .A.pollinaris. that ever.vbody is wild about bun. At the beginning of the year the faculty, recognizing true genius, conferred on him the de- gree of Bachelor of Art.s. He is all sorts of an athlete, having made a place on both the foot- b-all eleven, baseball team and the track team. He is a member of the Spottswood Club, and adorns both the magazine an l . nnual staff. While he was still very young, his nurse used to sing him lullabys out of a Greek grammar, and so fluent did he become in that tongue that his speech is still tinged with a stro.ig Hellenic ac- cent. Lately he has developed a passion for Spring poetry, and it is rumored that he gazes oft out of his window with a yearning sigh.
