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]

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!

II K A ; Spotswood : Xorthern Lights ; Philoniathtan : Cierman Chil). Such a curiosity as we have before you now, ladies and gentlemen, deserves a bolder touch than ours to portray. Earl has suc- cessfully ccm]jleied various ])roiects, among them a car at quarter. Literarx Society president and medal winner. Editor of the Lit, tv.elve desperate flirta- tions, and has lived through millions of unsuccessful attempts to be funny. A pun, a poem, a punk producticn reels from his surcharged brain in dazzling confusion. E. B. Thomas is rather proud of the va he signs his name, and could we believe him, he is tlic worst treated person in College, because: some pe;- ple won ' t agree with him, some professors refuse to be liluffed, some ideas are determined not to materialize, and some nf his smiles are not returned. Tn spite of all this, liarl P.aldwin is a very likabli- fellow and a rattling good College man. [ 27 1
