COLONIAL ECHO- 1920 EDGAR LINWOOD CONNELLEE Here ' s the boy from the land of the Rappahannock, and a fellow worth know- ing to be sure. Few men indeed have made more friends and done more good, sincere work than this light haired lad. fl Connellee believes there is a time for work and a time for play, and he knows how to do both very well. Steady, calm, always in full possession of himself, he is a man to be admired and trusted. When anyone wants anything done, he may readily call on this gentleman, for he is ever ready and willing to lend a helping hand. This characteristic has gone a long way towards making him many friends. Our friend formerly was quite a star among the femmes, but for some reason, perhaps known only to himself, his pursuits have ceased to lead him in that direction. We trust that his estrangement will not prove fatal and hope to see him soon back at his old habits. But whether he returns or not, we predict for him a life of success and distinction. 26

COLONIAL ECHO- 1920 WAI.TKR HU(iHART CHEATHA I fl Now there is no connectidii hot ween the face of the Charlie you see on this page and that CharHe whose name is posted in flaming colors on the front of every movie theatre, and for many weeks no such connection was formed on the campus. But one day there appeared on the upper lip of the above gentle- man a growth of fuzz, the beginning of a moustache. Then and there the wire- less flashed through the mind of every student on the campus, Charlie Chaplin, and it stuck. fl But seriously, the senior class of 1920 expects great things of its black-haired President. An ability to lead men, a keen and energetic mind, backed by a cherry hail-fellow-well-met are characteristics which must carry him to the summit of success. And his accomplishments in college very strongly verify such a predic- tion. His numerous activities attest his interest in aiTairs surrounding him and a mountain of A ' s in the registrar ' s office deny any imputation that he has neglected his classes. fl . character strong as Gibraltar and a heart that is the truest of the true are (|ualities that will ever win him friends. Here ' s to you Charlie! But live up to what the senior class expects of you and William and Mary will have an aluniiuis before whom the world nnist bow in reverence and respect.

COLONIAL ECHO- I920 ROBERT WATSON COPELAXD fl We present, herewith, the ladies man of the class of ' 20, Copie. Doubtless, if you were to ask him for his candid opinion of co-education, you would get a favorable reply. There ' s a reason ! He is one of our most frequent intruders of Tyler Half. Besides being a ladies man, he is an athlete of no little ability ; he won con- siderable fame on the gridiron the past season. fl Copie is a quiet, unassuming fellow, who generally gets what he goes after. He answered Uncle Sam ' s call and was commissioned a first lieutenant in the regular army. After being released from the service, he came back to College for two reasons : first, to play football ; second, to get his degree. Since he has attained his two ambitions he is ready to leave us. CiO. Copie, success is yours. 27
