Altho Ashley Allen Delta Theta Phi A is for triple- A Allen who comes from Alabama and works for Agriculture. He’s active in all student affairs and his salesmanship was unsurpassed when it came to selling those review lectures to aid the depleted class finances. Although his favorite subject is real property we’ll remember him for his good recitations in bail- ments and carriers. The gentleman from Alabama will be one of the State’s best attorneys. George Walter Armstrong George is a native of the deep South, first seeing the light of day at Irondale, Alabama. Being of an ambi- tious type, he came to Washington to study law. In his spare time he works at the Navy Department. After graduation George intends to take both the District of Columbia and Alabama bar exams. George should be a politician because he loves to make speeches. When the season is right, you’ll find George with his gun and dog just ’a huntin’. Charles E. Ammons Delta Theta Phi A student first of Constitutional Law and the general curriculum next, Charlie is employed by the Navy De- partment and hails from Mannington, West Virginia. His intentions are to take the bar examination in Washington, D. C., but definitely does not intend to practice the law. Yes girls, Charles is very much married. ft Charles A. Asbell Masonic Club The Masonic Club chose an excellent leader when they elected Charlie President. While he’s been at National University he has occupied his days at the Department of Agriculture. Charlie’s going to take the Indiana bar after graduation. His friendly smile and the fact that his attractive wife often attended lectures with him, made Charlie especially popular with his classmates. [ 29 ]

Rulloda Thomas Abellera After attending the University of Maryland and then enrolling at National for the study of law, Tom couldn’t resist the call of aviation, so he became a member of the University’s first flight class. He was awarded both the Primary and Advanced flight scholar- ships, and carried through in this endeavor as well as continuing his study of law. The Debating Club and the Order of Yellow Dogs number him among their members. Edward Stephen Adams National University has not only furnished Ed with an education but also time to stall the girls through leap year. He is definitely sure that the “one to be” must not be a clinging vine. It will be back to Hyattsville, Maryland after school to take the bar and practice, after which all applicants for marriage will be closely studied and considered. Hosea Bankhead Abernethy Sigma Nu Phi Flying Club “AB,” the good-looking mustachioed guy with that Southern drawl, comes from Mississippi and, so help me, “Suh,” he’s going back down “theah” to take the Bah. He is one of the Flying Club’s most experienced members and was the first to solo. He is chairman of the Flying Club’s Contest Committee. His favorite instructor is Professor Barse and his favorite subject is ADams 0418 -W. Roy Malcolm Alexander Sigma Nu Phi This mild mannered, jovial gentleman, who took such a shine to common law pleading, probably deserves membership in some organization featuring the world’s toughest toughies. Before he went into the Department of Agriculture he was on the District of Columbia police force and prior to that he was a corporal in Uncle Sam’s “Leathernecks” — still rates pistol shooting as a hobby.

Frank F. Bacchina Quiet and unassuming, Frank likes to delve into the common law. With a good foundation in the common law he should be a successful attorney.

Richard Wyndham Barton Dick Barton is the handsome lad who’s never seen without a pipe. Unlike his classmates Dick went to the summer sessions too, and consequently received his LL.B. and his Masters degrees in the same year. Such an ambitious lad will soon be one of historic Alexan- dria’s leading attorneys. £ 30 ]
