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!

' 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 .

C CHARLES HARMOX SCHEPMOES, Charlottesville. N ' irginia. Candidate i Ok A. 1!. De(;ui£F.. riioenix Talk about hcinji- fo:;led. Well, if the average citizen should see Schepmoes on the streets of Williamsburg, he would say : Here he is. Doctor, guess you better take him back and Lick him up; he lojks dmger- ous. But men who are on the editorial statT of the Magazine and ex-presidents of the Phoenix, don ' t stay at thut sort af a place. Xote the present tense, please. After going through these ordeals, it is difficult to predict the exact result. Charles tried for the baseball team one year, but his success there is rather questionable. We are not quite sure about his relation with the faculty, but somehow or other he -seems to be making the required number of credits. He has adopted the plan of handing such rotten stuff to the various editors under whom he works, that thev fear to ask him for any nvire. In spite of all this, his desires seem to be for the welfare of the College, and his spirit has been contributed in put- ting through quite a few things that have been worth while. [ 26]
