ENTER a vest-pocket edition of Mt. Vesuvius. Mr. Hamlin, ladies and gen- tlemen! Genial, happy, good natured as are all brick -tops. Ham possesses a superabundance of all these qualities. His smile has calcified on his physi- ognomy and he couldn ' t remove it if he tried — which he never has and never will, for he realizes that it is one of his chief assets in the journey through life. Charlie comes and goes; one year finds him on the green, shaded triangle in the old Capital, the next finds him somewhere out in the sticks working for the edification of the youth of the Old Dominion. But when he is here, everybody knows it; in fact it ' s impossible not to be cognizant of his presence, on account of his bright dome, if for no other reason. Bright dome, did we say? Yes, bright on the outside and brighter in the interior. Charlie ' s chief occupation consists in piling up A ' s and accumulating scholarships. He says the certificates look nice on his wall. One drawback about your graduation. Ham, the College loses a good man when you go, but the Class of 1 4 is so much the better off for your having been one of them. Puj?c Tjvent j-thrci

S MJ Haam ENTER, Mr. Drewry, the scientist par excellence of the Class of ' 14. Leslie started by passing Professor Koontz ' s class in Embryology with a grade of B the first time he took it, which in itself would entitle him to a high niche in William and Mary ' s Hall of Fame. To cap the climax of his biological achieve- ments, Drewry has discovered a secret process for manufacturing butter out of grass. On interview he merely says: Very simple; all you need is a cow and a churn. Next in importance was Leslie ' s due hunting expedition on Cary field on a certain P. M. So successful was he that the Faculty, after learned and mature deliberation, advised him to go home and rest up until the next session. Like the proverbial bad penny, he came back last fall, and barring accidents, will be seen parading with the cap and gown brigade in June. For sound, sensible college spirit, with trimmings or without, Drewry can hold his own with the best of them. In his chosen profession, that of M. D., we predict that he wnll give us all good cause to be proud that Drewry was with us in our last lap in the race for an education and the chase for a sheepskin. Pcjjje Tivenl )-tnw

Pi Kappa Alpha; A. A. O. ; Spolhueood ; Cordon-Hope. WE DRINK to Parker. An enigma to his intimates, a friend to all, a sphynx for conversation, but a good listener, Buzzie is hereby handed over for posterity to decipher. He has been with us for six years; has seen classes come and go, but not one of us knows any more about him than when he first invaded our sacred premises. This much we can say for him: he is the only man we have seen who has been able to persuade the Faculty that he is be- stowing great honor upon them by attending classes, and that it will be a supreme act of condescension on his part to accept a sheepskin from this most humble insti- tution of learning. His inordinate modesty or his confounded inertia may be the cause for Parker ' s retreat from the spot-light. ' et for all his reticence, a more lovable fellow than Buzzie is not to be found in a week ' s travel. It ' s a safe bet that when a sound, level head is needed in a tight place H. Godwin will be a good man to call on. Rise, gentlemen, I give you H. G. Parker. Pc e Taenl -fouT
