Cljc 1912 Colonitil Ccl)o 23 JOSEPH FAR LAXD HALL, Williamsburg, Va. K -; K. OF Y. F.; PHOENIX. He prefers to be known as J. Farland, but the fellows call hint Joe. He is round and rosy, and blushes so prettily that often he is borrowed for puik teas, to be used in the decorating sche.n, ' . He is Literary Editor of the igi2 Coloni.ai, Echo, anl until he heard an inter-society con- test, he was an enthusiastic Phoenician. He has been captain of the basketball team for two ears. and three years have seen him stand, a s;alwart guard, beneath the japanne.l basket brackets. On the trip through North Carolina lie leaned far from the Pullman anil coyly said, •■Ah, there. to a lisping Tarhecless. and e er since then he has been kept indoors. Uuj t ' l his prominent connection with the faculty, he Ic.ids a very mild existence. He is a member of the N. N. O. All in all. he is an athlete, an ex- cellent student, a social aspirant, and a full. rich, red American Beauty.

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.

He meant business, and that year saw him tuck away a scholarship lii his trunk. However, he soon reformed, and ga e himself up entirely to the sterner realities of life, such as calicoing, taking off the mem- bers of the faculty to select audiences, and spin- mug yarns fur all who would listen. The Eliza- 1 ethans and the Minstrels were blessed by his histrionic talent, while the magazine. The Echo, the Spottswood Club, and the Phoenix exhaled h,s literary producticns. One dark night Bob saw the awful mysteries la ' the K, of Y. F., and he also dunned the cowl of lii( N. N. O. Locking about for new fields to conquer, he shined his shoes, put on a hard-boiled slurt, and tripped the light fantastic into the b.carts of the members of the German Club and the presidential chair thereof. As manager of llie igil football team, he won new spurs by h ' s .i nderful system of mathematics, evincing a financial genius which forced upon him the busi- ness managership of the magazine. Kavvy Doty called him with a loud voice to the staff of the Flat Hat. and his trimmings do much to keep it in style, while the 1912 Echo boasts him as .- siistant Editor-in-Chief, and the .Senior Class 111 ' - chosen him to say its public farewell to Alma i ' ;.ter. A man of parts is Jack.
