' Ms- ' - W AVXE CARR .METCALF, VVilliamsljur!:;, ' a. Caxuidate for J). S. Degree. ' a nc has a lial)it of jum]Mng. He jnnips at tlie faculty and drajjs in the A. A ' s. I If junips at athletics and dons a few mon.o- .i ranis in fi )Otl)all and basketball. He jumps at the student body and has to put his offices down on paper to be able to remember them ; init, sad to relate, when it comes to jumping at the young ladies, Wayne scares them til death. Mark the prominence of his various facial attributes. You know they are the pride of his life, and once when he was way down on the old Xorth State, far away from his mother ' s knee, snnie unfeeling brute took the liberty of trying to alter the said expression. The results were terrific, for Wayne said d-m-n. Those who have played against him say that he is a man. The faculty belie es it, and the students who know say ' AMiaine is all there when it comes to chewing gum. Funny, but they seem to believe it true of him in evervthing. [ 24 ] ' fl5l k N .

iMiM| % i ARTHL ' R WILSOX JA.MliS. Bedford City, Xirginia. Caxdioate r k a. C. Decree. K :i ; riiilomathean : Spotswood. The best Brass, says our old college c ' i;niii. Xoali Webster, is made by cementa- tion of calamine. This iiappy discovery clears up the mysterv of what lil Artha is composed, and renders clear to the ignorant reader what stuff heroes are made of. When one reads that he has starred for the Philo- mathean as a Final Orator, Intersociety speaker, as the winner in the State Oratorical Contest, and that he played a leading role in The Rivals. as given by the 1912 Elizabethans, it is easy to understand that the Petersburg prodigy has bellowed his way to success. Add to this the managership of the football team and positions on the Flat Hat and IViUiain and Mary Literary Magazine staffs, and still more impressive is the con- ception formed of this man ' s mental make-up. Perhaps the principal complaint registered against him is by the parents of some young buds of the earlier periods of history, the aforesaid parents finding it hard to realize that they, too, were once young and foolish, when thev perceive that perfectly good and highly e.xpensive gas burning away in the best parlor at the weird hour of 3 A. yi. There is no doubt of his success, for just as surely as all things come to him who waits, that much more surely do thev fall to him who goes to them. [ - ' 3 1

JOHX DA.MEROX .MOORE, Portsmouth. ' irginia. Caxdidate 1-or . . B. Dkoree. Philomathean. lohn Moore is a student here. Oh, yes he is, or, why else would he be in this im- memorial volume? You see. the real reason that vou don t kn-.w him lietter, he is one of that kind of students who study. Wait while we summon memory ' s book before us. Yes. he was a likely candidate for the football team, and often appeared on the gymnasium floor when that cham- pionship basketball team of ours was practicing. For some reason or other, he insists on cutting Senior Class meetings, and yet he often makes b.is influence felt by his level-headed ideas. It is reported that he was once seen w ith a delicate maiden leaning on his arm, but investigaticn shov,ed that the young lady had been dropped from an aeroplane, and he was tr ing to calculate her speed when she hit the ground. ( )nr space is up, our his- tory of this . - enior is down, Hut before we go, John Foore. Here ' s a double health to thee!
