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

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 WILLIAM WILKENS FARMER fl The bearer of the above cognomen is better known as Ciric on the campus. He has been with us so long that we cannot see how the College is going to do without Gric Farmer. Farmer is an ex-teacher of the Virginia young. Al- though he had gotten a good start in this profession, he returned to college this fall to acquire the coveted B.A., degree, which he has striven so long for, by curling the professors, and thus making them realize that the crimson dome which he possesses is only a shield of a large quantity of gray matter. Gric bears the reputation of being the only married man in the class, but this fact does not keep him from being a loyal son of the College, and a man that the class of ' 20 is proud of. 28
