COLONIAL ECHO- 1920 HERBERT SMITH FENTRESS We are all willing and glad to admit that we know Specks. He is the kind of man who it is a pleasure to meet, an ever-increasing joy to know, and a source of deep regret to part with. Specks has always been prominently asso- ciated with all phases of college life. He is an all-round athlete and pronounced by a member of the fairer sex as, the best looking man in a football suit, that she had ever seen. Never think, however, that all of Specks activities have been confined to the college. There are many who will tell you this and Specks himself might be forced to admit it. We all feel that in losing Specks we lose one of the best all-round men we have ever known and a gentleman in the high- est sense. We wish him all the success which we think he deserves, and look forward to hearing ' great thinsjs from him. 29

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

VAN FRANKLIN GARRETT, JR. fl Ladies and Gentlemen : We have before us the petite figure of Van Franklin Garrett, Jr., better known around the campus as Van. He is the ladies ' man of the class. Ask anybody around Tyler Hall if they know Van. He is hard to know, but once you know him you feel that he is well worth knowing. When it comes to pulling down A ' s in his classes, he is right there. We entertain no fear as to his future success. Here ' s to you. Van. We predict for you a future filled with happiness and prosperity. Don ' t get discouraged because you are small, for smaller men than you have often moved great mountains; we are sure of your success. 30
