To the Class of it ' s source may it ever be a relaxation in times of ten- sion, a spur to the jaded imagination, a memoir of the most intimate asso- ciations and the truest friendships of a lifetime. Suffering as they may have, the slings and arrows of out- rageous fortune , it remains but for the future to erase all troubled mem- ories and to supplant them with only happy recollections.

On a well-remomberod day m early Septembei-, in the ycai- of our Loid, one thousand nine hundred and seventeen, there came into our midst, the future honor and glory of the old Institute, this noble product of the sub- urbs of Lynchburg. He had no sooner embarked upon the rough waters of rathood, than his abilities were recognized, and he was made section mar- cher of that famous 7th section. At the end of his rat year, he had made two momentous decisions — of liecoming the master of test-tubes and hydro- chloric acid fumes, and that all women are liars and deceivers, except one. With his pcrserverance and natural ability, you may rest assured of his suc- cess in the tii ' st, and it would not be surprising if one day we learn that the unknown element between barium and radium has been discovered.

His marvelous ability to produce an excuse at a moment ' s notice soon earned for him the moniker of Alibi Alvis. With his roommates he has al- ways been noted for the easy way in which he could out for a bone and win. Along some other lines he has not been quite so fortunate, notably, backing dark horses at the hops and filling interior .straights in E-2. As a rat he drew some awful chords out of his horn while practicing wdth the Keydet Orchestra, and even became so proficient in this brand of wind .iamming that he attained the magnifieient position of understudy to the Great and Only Tom Du.

As a hard third classman he donned those corporal cheverons and become ideal in running (demerits). When his blouse had a couple of stripes upon it he became an electrician, contrary to the laws of Nature being born and bred an Artist of the first water in both knocking off hay. and slinging a line. When his country called he went to Camp Taylor as a rough and ready Artilleryman. There Big Buck became the Bell Boys Buddie and the Chum of Old Taylor. An officer suggested traiis- fei ' ral to the tank corps, he being one by nature, but Bill did not like this as there would be bigger ones there and he could and would not be outshone.

To gaze on that picture one could, gues.s some of the virtues. l)ut it would take a wieer sage than inhabits these walls to enumerate the many good qualities of the real thing. To say Bert is a good fellow hardly starts it, or to say a Lion among Ladies, would be merely a beginner for him. One of the best men that ever wore the grey is an adequate tribute, for such is his standing among those that have known him for four years, or one. As an athlete he holds the highest position in the class ; four years on the bafketball team, and captain in the last. In football Beaney was a .sensational Find. not only winning his monogram but he was one of the main faetoi-s in the Thanksgiving victory. He was named on the All South Atlantic Basketball Team, which shows his mettle along that line. He has been Captain of the Swam- ming Team for the past three years, and in his first I ' lass year was President of both the Monogram. Club and the Athletic Association. Bert is unusually prominent during the hops and many a strange damsel has fallen for his danc- ing or winning ways. He goes from here into busi- ness, the success of which is assured.

After quite a lot of preparation for entering college, Btid drifted into the Arch one morning early in September, 1916, strolled nonchantly up to the O. D., saluted and reported for duty. Having been told that this place was heaven, he was not quite prepared for the reception tendered him at the hands of those mean Third Classmen, but soon became aecits- tomed to their daily vi.sits and the life here. Thruout his four years at the Institute, Judge ' s strong point has been penalty tours. No keydet in recent years has even shown any promise of equaling his record in this respect. Therefore, his militaiy aspirations have not rini very high and his chief ambition is to rank the Commandant, even if he has to die first to accom- pli.sh this desire. On the very few occassions his name happened to miss the list of tourists, the, Bud considered it a suspension day for himself and might be seen taking a little exercise that afternoon by walking in the vicinity of East Lexington, having quite a number of friends in that thriving metropolis. Aside from this, his principal occupation is hitting the hay and he may be found in his lily white (?) at almost anytime, even during Morning Inspection. During his many tours, both night and day, a kindred feeling sprang up between Judge and others of the trifling element, which quickly de- veloped into a close friendship and spread thruout the entire corps.

Early in September, 1917, this young lad wended his way from Ports- month along the tortnons route to the sacred old tOAvn of Lexington; subse- quently matriculated at V. M. I., signing various pledges and papers, the contents of which he held in total ignorance, and mechanically and unknow- ingly passing through sundry details of becoming a Third Class Rat. And what is more, he traveled on a pass and has since been deluded by the usual barracks talk of a Christmas furlough for diligent and deserving keydets to such an extent that he procured a pass especially for the occasion. According to his statements, with great effort and emotional gloom, he passed thru his year as third class rat, leaving behind only mechanical drawings to be picked up later on. As a second class- man he gladly became a disciple of Chappie, and ever since has been an ardent reader of Ibsen, Tur- genreff, Browning, Ibanez, and many other wielders of a mighty pen. Being jibed incessantly for taking the light course which affords such ample opportuni- ty for hayhitting during daylight hours, has never worried him in the least, and even if he is the only and spoiled child of indulging parents, he appro- priates his spare time in digesting such instructive — and interesting — subjects as Social Psychology or the Russian language.

His life here has fol- lowed a path inlilar to the course of trtie love; he bulled out Christmas in his first llird class year, was busted from top sergeant in his second class year, and, altho he was appointed lieutenant finals, he lost this along with the other cadet officers among the noble forty-seven in his first class year. In the company and on duty H. 0. was efficient as a matter of principle. But if you have ever talked to him in quartei ' s. you know that there never was a finer Bolshevik at heart in the world: the sound of an ex- ploding bomb always threw liim into grandiloquent ccstacies of transcendentalism, nor was his .jubilance diminished by those nerve wracking long rolls — the true test of sineerety of attitude. Those who know Merk also must confess he has a way with the women, and this is supplemented by his mastery of the terpsichorean art.

A few day.s after the class of ' 20 embarked upon its career as a thii-d clasp, someone discovered a fat little molecule in one of its sections. Upon being questioned on the matter, this, replied, in a thin treble voice, that its name was Cox, Sir. That this yottthful voice would be a disgrace to the third class was immediately noticed and remedied by his kind classmates; referring him to Demosthenes as an example. With many ups and downs. Maxes and Penalty Tours, and incidentally visits from his ever thought- ful classmates, Eddie passed through his Rat year. Returning next fall, it was a hard matter for him to decide upon what course to follow; but after taking another look at the numl)er of maxes in the previous in Chemistry, he decided to become a desciple of Old Rat. Since this time he has kept right on demonstrating that when it comes to H2S04 and H2S, he is still the same old high-brow.

As a Jlister avc have little to say of Dab because he attended to his daily juties in the prescribed manner but when he came to the im- portant office of a Corp finals he then began to shoulder the responsibili- ties of his command. During his third class year his daily post was follow- ing his chin ai ' ound the stoo p seeing that the dumb misters walked the nar- row path. His second class was interrupted (?) so to speak with a months camouflaged Christmas furlough at that time returning from the services of his country. But now he at last reached the lop of all aspirations, get- ting a dip., for which no one has looked forward to more than he. Even now he has us guessing concerning the fair sex, seeming at times to be immune to their influences and at others a little sus- ceptible. The proper dope is said to be had on liim now as some remarkable changes have been made lately, and it seems as if he is completely in the re- lentless gi ' asp. After reporting released from strict niilitary discipline, he expects to settle down in the Hill City and contract a pile of long green. What- ever his choice may be it goes without saying that his efforts will certainly be realized. In closing these words, we can all say that he was a valuable asset 1o his class, a loyal friend and a perfect gentleman. Your many frit ' uds are looking at you, Ci-acker. i ou inoir, seef So.

It was not until his first class year that he met his dowiifall. This came about in his cavalry career, when he began to live in mortal dread of anything that had a mane and tail. This is the only thing that anyone has ever known him to fear, and in conse- quence of this fear, he developed a chronic case of gim i ' iding, along with praetieally all the other members of the riding class. During the Avar he enlisted in the Field Artillery and was a.ssigned to the Central Officers ' Training School at Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky, but upon the signing of the armis- tice, he returned to V.

But the 1st year doesn ' t last forever, and the next year found this long, lean, lanky youth back, and a full fledged 2nd classman. There he threw away his life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness by deciding to sttidy the shape of a voltage wave and also formed the disgraceful habit of displaying his unmusical talents to his room- mates, much to their displeasure, at all times of day and night. As his ai ' tions testify, Jeff thinks there are lots of things from which more fun may be derived than visiting tlie city of Lexington on F. C. P. and Satur- day afternoons; among these joys being the privilege of riding the ponies over the hills of Rockbridge. If any camp lures him from home after receiving his diploma we are sure it will be one at which he rides when at drill and does not walk. If ' hat d ' you hopef Ole Thing.

During his more sunny days, when enjoy- ing the obsolete V. C. P., Sheep made quite a point of this. In faet, when it came to dressing Christmas trees he irdght be termed a howling success. But after the New Year ' s party melt called upon to forego such pleasures, and has given it up accordingly. Sheep lives for two things, skating and baseball, being an adept at either. His life vacillates between this and military. Enlisting in the local Marines during the war, the only thing coming between him and the bright lights of Paris (Island) was the untimely signing of the Armistice. Upon his discharge he resumed his pre-war activities and expects to be an Engineer in the very near future.

Back in the old days when Tom Dulaney played double base (it was base too) in the Victrola and Big ' Uns sold for a dime at the P. E., a lanky Greenvillain came dragging through the Arch. When accosted by the man with the red rag over his shoulder, he admitted that this cognomen was Snake and that he aimed to adopt V. M. and I. as his Alma Mater, Two days of being At Home to mean Third classmen sufficed to impress upon his cerebrum the fact that all good little rats tacked a Sir on to all remarks addressed to old Keydets, tiniu ' d out on the Stoojts and shed their kicks at the door of their second stoop kitchens. After he had passed the ordeal of the broomstick and had returned as a Mean Third Classman, his fondness for stokeing his puss was exceeded only by his aversion to being - rolled. It was during this phase of his hectic career that our Hero took a leading role in an alleged Bomb Outrage. It was perhaps the tendency of casting bread upon the waters, as much as any other of his sterling qualities that earned for him his own particular niche in the atfections of his classmates. However, be that as it may, when the class breezed down the aisle and lined up so Old Nick could pass ' em around, Cosmo a there with bells on.

Groover was received into our midst by the gentle, sweet and sympathizing voices of the proud wearers of the Corp. Chevs. Little did we dream that this personage was destined to rise to the highest office in the Cadet Corps. But from the start, he gained for himself the reputation of being the most running rat in C Co. As a corporal Gonni pi ' oved himself -orthy of a real office and in his second class year we found him 1st sergeant of F Co., and to say that he was a hard orderly sergeant would be putting it mild. And right here is a most befitting place to say that Paul ' s aripirations began to turn toward other things than those of a military nature ; for the call from the fair sex came and from the number of sheets that eame to suite 99, addressed to him, we became uneasy as to whether he would even spend the re- mainder of the year with. us. But perhaps it was a pas.sing fancy, for he decided to stick until Finals anyway. And when the Final formation rolled around, the clear and unmistakable words came forth across the parade ground like the shot from a cannon, — To be Captains, ' One ' P. Groover. From the pinnacle of this glory he has gained the prestige and confidence of us all. A man of the highest standards and ideals, his friendship is an accomplishment, for to know him is to love him.

Military? That ' s him all over. He started running from his rathood, and this habit eontinued even when he became a first classman. After the stormy and tempestuous year at the hands of the mean third classmen, he entered the much smoother waters of old cadetship. As a second classman his latent talents came to the fore and after a short while he became truly a marvel in the art of signalling. His ability in this respect was quickly recognized and, as a first classman, he was made cadet instructor in this branch of the military course. Although he is an able disciple of Monk, as an Electrical Engineer, it is not at all improbable that he will become a painter, because of an intimate knowledge of colors, and especially of a certain .shade of Rlo n When the time arrives for us to leave the old Institute, we say goodbye, (tho we hope for only a short while), to one whose friendship cannot be alued too highly.

Ves, it ' s from Louisiana. That wc knoAv, also that he started his career with an aim to be the Biggest Dog in Barraclvs and the most worthy follower of Chappie. We know by the number of wedding invitations he has re- ceived, bearing the same postmark which used to be upon the Pink Sheets he was wont to receive daily, that he has been luisuecessful in the former. And we know that he has been very successful in the latter by the stars that adorn his sleeves, and his ability as a past master in the Art of the Artists. GJeorge possesses a most fluent line, and j)roved his ability to get by with almost anything when, dressed in a Keydet uniform, and Avearing liis first class cape turned back so that the red lining showed up to best advan- tage, he casually sauntered into the lobby of the Secl- liach Hotel in Louisville Kentucky, and on encotin- ,, tering a first Lieutenant of the Field Artillery, and being questioned by the said Lieutenant as to the na- tionality of the uniform he wore, calmly smoked bis cigarette, assumed his characteristic nonchalant pose and proceeded to inform and convince the Lieutenant that be was an officer in the Canadian Northwest Jlounted Police.

In practically all ol ' the graduating classes of this institution there is at least one representative of the Local Boys. Jolm claims the distinction of being a member of this class and well has he lived up to their noble tradi- tions and attainments, except in his ability to obtain a furlough and in his attempts at being a I ig Dog. in both of which his efforts have been wholly unsuccessful ; the latter, however, does not seem to be a cause of much worry in his young life. He is forely afflicted with an acute ease of laziness but this cannot be held against him to any great extent as such an attainment seems to be common to all of tho.se who choose to follow the life of an arti.st. But, nothwithstanding these minor failures, he has proven himself of marked ability and is indeliby stamped with that key of success — perseverance — and if he ever detei-mines to do a thing, that thing will lie done in spite of all obstacles. Thru his ability he has been an officer in the cadet battalion for two year-s and thru his charming per- sonality he has won the fi ' iendship and good will of the entii ' e I ' drps. Il is with genuine sorrow that we see his pei-iod of cadetship drawing to a close. Pa ,,- Sixly-s HOWARD BURKS HAWKINS HrXTINCJTOX. W. VA. Born 1899. Matriculated 1917.

Well here is one of its members, the only original Hawk. He eanie to us from Huntington, W. Va. where he took part in high school athletics and after the shock of his rat days he has made V. M. I. a worthy athlete. Hawk campaigned with the basketball team for two years and the var- sity football for one. His playing was of the highest order and he never failed to put all he had into the game. Howard journeyed to Camp Taylor with the rest of us and says that while Old Taylor was all right, those week ends in Louisville were better. Hawk is a chemist by name and nature but from all indieations we feel that the romance attached to the life of a traveling salesman will suit him better. He says that he is going to pull off a big deal in Philadelphia about the time that our team hits Penn. next year, and from the way things look now we don ' t see how he can miss. Whatever it may be old boy, we all hope that your sevens and elevens all come on the first shot and that the others come afterwards; and we know that you will keep the dice rolling in the future as you have in the past.

If there is any truth in this, Fish resembles him in at least one particular. During his four years of toil, trouble, trial and tribulation. The Herring has been more or less entangled in many plots and plans detrimental to the general peace of the Institute. His debut was made in a famous egg fight when he was a rat and the climax was reached as a member of the noble Forty-seven. Fish reflected great credit upon himself and his family when he elected to become a devotee of the Arts. The diffieulties offered by Russian authors and the exponents of Psychology have held no terrors for him. His sojourn at Camp Taylor developed his great love for horses and his experiments in equitation dur- ing his first class year were aided by a folding ladder which he always carried in his blouse. Though supposedly a citizen of Mississippi, Fish seems to take an unusual interest in the state of Ala- bama, and his life seems a barren waste when he can- not count one pink sheet from that part of the eoiui- try in his daily mail. There is only one conclusion to be drawn, that he intends to pick up his better half and recover the ' 20 hardware he sent in that di- rection at an early date. And in future years we will all be borrowing money from the financier who will be just able to reach to the top of his glass-topped, mahogany desk down ill (lie Miss. Back to back. .. - KHiMPliii?

Just why he does it nobody has been able to find out. His hair has been getting fewer and far-betweener ever since his arrival but Weyum still persists in try- ing everything from soap and water to electric vibrators. Bill ' acted in haste and repented in the few uio- • ments of leisure allowed him when he decided upon Chemistry as his path to fame and fortune. Weyum ' s most noted accomplishment was due to the fact that he was able to go anyone at least one better on any subject no matter whether he had ever heard of the question undei ' discussion, or was forced to draAv upon his powers of clairvoyancy and unequaled imagination. His tales are of a marvelous degree of ingenuity and. though his audience is skeptical in the extreme, he gains credit for being able to silence any member of the corps when weird tales are the order of the day. He may turn out to be the greatest specialist in the countiy. or the most dependable family physician in his locality, but his many admirable traits will prove to be the best prescriptions at the command of anyone in gaining new additions to the long list of those who are proud to call him friend.

Behold, gentle reader this .exponent of the 20th centin-} ' . fair of face, gentle in speech, but big in action. He first graced these walls in the fall of nineteen sixteen and has always been the most anxious to leave at Finals but is generally here when the first Rat crosses the arch in the Fall. Julian has many accomplishments: the main ones being his magnetic in- fluence over his fellow cadets (and may it be also stated that many of the fair damsels that are wont to grace the hops, are well within his magnetic scope), the sportsman-like spirit that very few attain, and a personality that holds him in the highest esteem and respect of every Cadet in the Institute. For two years he ha,s led the class thru ' trials and tribulations, always on the top. Our worthy Pi ' esident intends to enter the tobacco business after a year or so in some University. His classmates can well picture him nX a large wad of Natural Leaf in his jaw several years from now, tho ' his first attempt was a gross disaster He has guided us in oni ' erring ways and will always be re- garded as a staunch friend, a smiling companion, and a Man ' s man.

His rebellious nature, however, became only too evident in his second year and expressed itself for the most part in a number of midnight adventures and holiday celebrations. His persistence in pleasure seeking was undiminished by his enlistment in the U. S. M. C. and his devil dog doings only sharpened his antipathy for all things mili- tary and for every regulation of discipline. But it remained for his first class year to bring out the real Bolshevik tendencies in Sausage. No one enjoyed more than he, the sound of an exploding bomb or any of the other escapades of the third class. No one experi- enced such ecstatic enjoyment in the performance of his duty as a member of the Noble 47, as did Monk at 12:01 on the morning of January 1, 1920.

Having been so advised by the Local Boys, he was a running mister and was rewarded with a corporal. After ten months as number 4 he decided he would get a new start, so he began his Third Class year all over again. Not being a member of the Z. D. C, his clierished chevrons were removed after .seven months of his second go-round for ex- cess demerits and he began the life of a private in the ranks, which isn ' t such a hard life after all. In bis second class year he attained the ambition of many and became the little drummer boy of the corps, making the irksome march to and from the Messhall a pleasure. Thus he slipped through his second class year, burst- ing into his long hoped for first class year, like the rosy dai-sn. All went .smoothly for Horrible until he was pursuaded by that horrid combination to enter the pyrotechnical celebration staged for the arrival of 1920. He carried thru his part of the program as arranged and led the Old Yell for 20 which ended up the night ' s performance. Just like the rest of the Noble 47 he took his medicine, as bitter as it was, and again became accustomed to penalty tours and confinements, and in return has been rewarded by now being able to call himself a graduate of the V.

The exotic adject i es, irrcstiblc, impulsive, cheeky. applied so promiscuously to this favorite son of Suffolk fall far short of the mark when it comes to describing our Jack. He attracts the attention of every- thing from the cradle to the grave ; in trousers, skirts, or neither, from near or far. lii fact such are his attractions, detractions, and oddities that the usual classic remark for a new calie watching parade is, who is that little chubby Captain with the right oblique nose? Be it said for him that if she is worthy of his steel he has never yet failed to give her all the informa- tion she asked for and a little more besides. From a professor of the Terpsichorean art in Suffolk he devcloinil into a past mastei- of jazz at our hops, with going so fni- in producing invocations as to gain the title of the CTalloping Hession. Be it said for him, hoAvever, that he falls short of the title in one respect-such was his savior faire — that he never lost his head, which is indeed remarlcalile in view of the many feminine hearts he caused to Hutter.

A sense of humor saves many a situation, and in four years at V. M. I. there is many a situation to be saved. JIany a time vhen it seemed like a case of all ' s lost save honor to those of us cursed with a senous turn of mind it was only a case of all ' s lost save humor with Pousse and just so many times have peals of laughter and a beaming countenance informed lis that he had nabbed the ray of .sunshine that was to lift us all out of the ditch. Don ' t be misled, however, by this jovial exterior to think that he is but a child of pleasure, for a long look into those dark brown eyes give a hint of depths unplumbed. though we suspect the fair sex has been given more opportunities 1o solve their mysteries than fellow keydets less susceptible to his blandishments. Through all the turmoil of Bolsheviki ideas, he re- mains true to his colors and standards. His opinion is one to be respected, for when all the rest of us have finally reached a conclusion through tortuous arguments and reasoning we look to Pousse lack- adaiseally smoking his pipe in the corner and find that was what he had been thinking all day.

In that awkward year of our rathood. one, A alking ' down the ranks of F Co., might have seen finning out vrith the rest of us, a medium-sized youth with reddish hair, hook-nose, smiling eyes, and good looks. That was Freddie, the Freddie that was destined to live with us the remainder of our years at V. M. I., and to pass through the mill of everlasting friend- ship, to the end. In his passage through the gruelling and weeding cogs of the machinery he has ever won fame for himself, beginning by securing 1st stand in his third class year and a sergeantcy in F Co. As soon as pos- sible after America ' s entrance into the World AVar Freddie left the Institute to east his lot with those patriotic men who were sacrificing all for their country and entered the Field Artillery Officers ' Training School at Camp Taylor, Ky. Upon the close of the war he returned to V. M. I. and resumed his studies and duties as a sei-geant. Such a person- ality as his is hard to describe, for it is not the personality of one man, but the per.sonalities of sev- eral men, merged into one. In this combination, he has held on to those qualities whicli have made him what he is, the truest of friends, the most steadfast to duty, and a brilliant and enjoyable companion, who has won the hearts of both kevdet and calic.

Ladies and geiillenieii, if you i-aii behold these liquid orlis long enough to listen to my tale, avc will attempt to give you some information on the subject. Hailing fvoiii the Capitol City, he is widely known as one of the loeal boys and reputed to mo e in the highest social strata. He under- went his rathood as any ordinary mortal and so attained the exalted position of an old cadet. He had his experience holding the reins of authority as a sergeant but decided he had rather cast his lost with the common herd as everyone docs sooner or later, and he gained a wide reputation as a mail- carrier during his second class year, when all the recipients of letters had to .journey to his I ' oom while he, as an artist playing true to his rolni ' s. early showed his preference for hay. Another item — he has grown and risen from company to company, trying a different one each year, and this bodily expansion was in co-opei ' ation with a likewise spiritual development which reaches out as a magnet and ' ' grapples friends to him with hoops of steel. His cup of life is over- flowing with the milk of human kindness and all who so desii ' c are welcome to drink to their heart ' s con- tent.

Hop Final This young Texan can ' t be described very well in such a brief sketch — it would take a volume to enumerate his many and varied traits, but, for those who know him, a sketch is not necessary and you who haven ' t this honor will have to use your imagination. During Coyotes four years at the Institute he received one letter only from a calic, hence not having the usual keydets diversion at hand he passed the time jigging and fiddling. He can play his fiddle for hours on a stretch, to his roommates grief, and he can clog dance till the ceiling falls, and he can expound theories till he ' s lilue in the face, to say nothing of his unlucky adversary. HoAvevcr A hen his faithful fiddle is laid uj) foi- repairs he has been occasionally seen studying, and this, combined with an ttnusual amount of grey mat- ter, has enabled him to pass Civil Engineering, a feat which speaks for itself. In other words, he is a gay jolly blase youth with just the right amount of seriousness, and it is with more than the usual amount of regret that his fiiends. the entire corps, bid him adieu.

Yes, true to the eharaet eristics of most specimens of his weight and dimensions he makes a lot of noise, but he is harmless. A natural born ' ' high brow, he works on the theory that hay is good for brains, in fact such is his zeal along this line that occasionally he moves his abode and that of the brain producing apparatus further down the stoop after taps to escape the harangues of the D-2 poker club. It was after he came to the town of Lexington that he found that a woman is only a woman and is consequently a sadder but a wiser man.

As a first classman his eagerness to guard the In- stitute on any of three days with a consequent ab- sence to Cavalry is ample proof of the realization of a limitation which he frankly admitted imder trying circumstances, to the Lt.

Moved to emulate the achievements of others of oui- kind who here serve as examples in khaki: he hopes to serve as a Provisional Second Lieutenant in the Engineers before returning to the coal mines of his native town, the birthplace of Stonewall Jack- son, from which many are to be enticed to this, his best loved home. llou ' does it feel to he .

Look liiiii over; Sir Isaac Newton has nothing to put this mathematical genius to doing. In fact after listening to him talk for half an hour (if suoh a thing is possible) one would think that the latter would be ashamed of some of the theories he advanced. His chief faults are the mandolin, singing, and the attraction for the fair sex around Franklin. The last may seem a mystery to some, but froni all indications seems to be true. While LTncle Sam was in the midst of the Great Sti ' uggle, Lieutenant Esky served in every capacity from a lance corporal to a Bevo Lieuteiumt at the Institute while waiting his call to the Heavies.

Zeke from Ty Ty, a little piece of dirt down in Georg;ia, cau.ses us to doubt the integrity of the report that everything i.s peaches that hails from that state. In spite of this shortcoming, however, his vieissitudinous career at the Institute is really a subject of interest. As a rat he was char- acterized by his intrepid front when accosted by the adverse third classmen. As a bomb thrower his practical jokes on the commandant were subjects of great amusement to everyone but himself and his unfortumite roommate Cosmo. At the hops (Sub having spotted him cold). Sub. — Ai ' e ' nt you under restrictions? A. H. H. (despairingly) — Yes, sir. Sub. — Report to your room under arrest. A. H. H. (undertone) — Hard but square, quoth the monkey. In spite of the high potential difference once ex- isting between E. J. and our local anthropoid, he decided to sip the CURRENTS of the Pierian Spring. In .spite of his technical endowments, however, his editorial accomplishmen ts have clearly demonstrated to the ai-tists that literary ability is only a side issue of the engineer. As the old bones of fortune have Snake-eyed so consistently during the past four years for him, the best that we can msh him is that his future passes will speedily reduce his Nemesis lo Ik ' i- last shekel.

They were days lived in a trance for most of us, but true to the theories of time and tide, the year rolled by and left us no longer the hated stepchildren of the Corps but real, hard third classmen. The third class year passed as all do, with bombs and other disorders of all natures, surrendering fully to the call of the wild, endeavoring to leave the impression that we were the next hardest thing to nails in the community. After the passing of the underclassmen ' s trials we returned to take up the more serious duties of Second Classmen. Due to the unsettled conditions caused by the war times, many of our classmates who were of age, enlisted in the summer, and before the cessation of hostilities Twenty had nearly fifty men in the service. Later in the year nearly all returned and the class was reunited again. During this period officers were made from the Second Class and they carried out their duties like soldiers. After the acquisition of the coveted rings the big aim was for each and every man to obtain the cherished Dip. Once more the Lexington Special pulled into the Rockbridge Metropolis and deposited its load in September, and among the number were nearly all of the old class to take up the duties of First Classmen, the highest honor in the Institute. The fall of the year rounded out beautifully, with a highly successful Football season and a Victorious Thanksgiving Day. But there ' s many a slip between the cup and the lip, and it happened on New Year ' s night, when the dismal clock in the tower tolled the hour of midnight — Bedlam broke loose ; the fires of Babylon or the fall of Tyre and Sidon could not have created as much noise and illumination. Fire works of all descrip- tion and other forms of explosions tore loose and amid the melee came a rousing cheer for the New Year and the Class of Nineteen Twenty. .- = Page One Hundred-five But as one old sage quotes, You ' ll neither pick roses off thorns nor figs off thistles, so the reaper began to han est the punishment of youthful folly.

I ' ,u r One 1 1 ,nulri l-l, ' n inuii[ErS V ' x; EECONO CLASS N the fall of the year 1917, there assembled at the Institute, for the first time, a eroMd of men who are now tlie present Second Class. The Class today does not comprise all those frightened newly cadets who matriculated together. Many of them have been called to other fields, but the great majority has stayed and has fought onward until it now finds itself within sight of the celebrated goal, for which many have striven and fewer have attained, namely the right to call oneself a First Classman. It is useless to discourse on the trials and tribunals of the Rat year. Every man, from the very start, seemed to have the idea of doing his best, so things went on veiy smoothly, as is usual in the year when one is a New Cadet. When the Class of ' 21 came back as Third Classmen, there was a firm desire in the hearts of all to uphold all the traditioiis laid dowTi by preceding third classmen. Every man had the spirit of do it, or get busted trying. It was done. The Third Class officeis consisted of Pate as president and Dickson as vice-president. During this year of 1918 and 1919, there was much unrest due to the war conditions, and many new trials and problems which were unprecedented were met with. It is the opinion of everyone that these difficulties were met fairly and squarely, and overcome. In this, the Second Class year, we assembled, bound together more closely than ever before by the ties of friendship which originated back in ' 17. At the first class meeting, Pate was re-elected president and McCuistion was chosen to hold down the office of vice-president. With two such men at the head, it is an aforegone conclusion that this year will add to the glory of the class. On December 1st the class rings were put on, and some have stayed put and some have not. Plans have already been formulated for the other out- standing feature of the Second Class year, namely the Final Ball. If these Page One Hundred-eleven plans do not miscai ' i-y, a brilliant function is to be expected. Clarksou and Gi ' i ' athcad were (•li(is n leaders of this year ' s social affairs. In the other fields of scholastic endeavor the men of ' 21 have been prominent. In football, Dickson, Smith, J. T., Mason, Stuart, Ingram, and Wilson, V. Y., were awarded gold footballs, while Leech and Shipley received mono- grams. Leech was unanimously elected captain for the coming year. On the liaslsctball Icaiii the Second Class was represented by Leech, Lee, and Stuart, with Lee as the recipient of a gold basketball. The baseball and track teams have more than a proportional represen- tation of Second Classmen. Such is the history of lln men who started the ball to good work up unlil the end. : . • — Historian. lass of 1921 and it is to be expected! that the )]lino so merrily back in 1917 will keep the m ' TV -1 WMMlMmX Piiijc One lluiutn-.l-turhe Jn iTO tttDrtcim ftUtam Inau i ' trnuii (Brrcumonii, iBisHtsaippi Bith Scmubrr 24. lUlU IV rv Patjf On,- HuiiJred-tlnrleen v: Z , -x. tJBL.-j. -rfc- ' liiiSiiiil: l ' (li r On,- llundir.i Fnurlrcn 19: 2 Page One Hundred Fifteen ,. =5 jniniiiteair-- Pdiif One HunJrcii-sixteen BCtlB (UlaBB of 1922 W.

Upon the land and water; Your gloi ' ious spirit noAv renew. And listen to the story Of how the elass of Twenty-tAvo Bids fair to join your I ' anks of fanir and glo IND READER! Have you ever had a two months vaeation seem as two weeks? Nov.- that is just how our first summer furlough passed by. Hardly had we broken in our new eordovans when we found ourselves on the Lexington Limited (to two coaches) bound for oh the dear old barracks. We will leave it to all you old Cadets fi ' om ' 39 to ' 21 that it is sure one grand and glorious feeling to get back to the one dear spot to every alumnus, and greet your fellow cadets and especially your classmates. Now just what is at the bottom of all this more brotherly love? Other schools have School Spirit ; but show us one that has that old V. M. I. Spirit. Traditions and environments have a great deal to do with it but most of all in our opinion is the one fact that we all went thi ' U a year of hardships to- gether. We thank the Lord that our class is among those who were handled as men and not as mollycoddles during the Rat year. It has been proven since the beginning of the world and to every member of our class especially, that to those, who have endured suffering together, is a tie of friendship and love evei ' lasting. So to our f orrow and to our joy the fii ' st of September found some thirty members of our class back in scliool to drill those rats. Dur- ing the next ten days or ;o our •■lass Avas augmented to a number around one hundred and forty ; a good fize class to say the least. Things began with a good .start in most depai ' tments and most con- spicuous in Football and j Iilitary. In football the prospects seemed so good, as was later proven, that each contender had to knuckle down to work right at the start. Some fifteen or twenty classmates were among the candidates. In the military department, with the four new R. O. T. C. Units, everyone was interested because of the nearness of that long looked for trip to unveil the statue of General Jackpon in Richmond. In th e meantime our first class meeting brought up several points of interest, most notable the unanimous re-election of our faithful president, W. R. Hari ' ison, and our worthy vice-president, W. V. Shannon, and the ...m Piuje One llundreJ-iibietf V vote to ask into om- i-la.ss men wlio had left upper classes during the war. Mantor and Summers, of athletic note, were both unanimously asked to join us. We are proud of you both and know you will prove Avorthy of ' 22. Sure enough, on the morning of October 10th, the whole battalion en- trained for Richmond. The trip there pa.ssed uninterrupted and with nothing exciting. On arriving in Richmond about five o ' clock, we were marched to the Grey ' s Armory, our headquarters. It was here that we were notified of another victory for our Football Team. They ha ang played in Richmond that afternoon. A short Avhile was spent in organizing the Corps in the Armorj ' . As soon as this Avas over the whole Corps was granted leave until 12 o ' clock midnight When ranks broke a mad rush was made for the door. Classmates joined classmates, as did keydets their parents and friends of the fair sex. That night the «hole Corps was the guest of honor at a big hop in the Richmond Blues Aiinory, given by the young ladies of Richmond. Those Avho went spent a most enjoyable evening and those who cared not to trip the light fantastic took in a show or the Virginia State Fair. Hula ! Hula ! The next afternoon, Saturdaj% we had one long hot parade. Thanks that that was all. Again we were turned loose for the night. All of us managed to find the place that best suited our tastes. Some went to dinner parties at the Country Club of Virginia, many to the Jefferson Hotel for dinner and a real snappy shag afterwards, A -hile still others took in the other hotels. The next afternoon, Saturday, Ave had one long hot parade. Thanks, giving Day. We ' ll say that was some trip. Mantor, Summers and Bunting Avere our supports to that 13 to victory over our ancient rivals. With Football season OA-er, and a great one at that, Ave thought Ave Avould don the independence and anarchistic freedom of the Third Class- men. ' TAvas on the tenth of December our fir.st bomb AA-as heard. Yes ! The night was cold and dreary too, just because Ave had to A ' alk Special Guard. But for Avhat care Ave, for in just a fcAv Aveeks later Old ' 22 Avas heaid from again. The other 21 bombs for the Class of TAventy-two Avere shot Avithin the course of eighteen hours on the last day of ] rid-vear Exams. Great work! Eh? To quote another: Place the name of the Class among the rest. Who ' ve done their duty Avell : And to the classes folloAving, Someone this story tell. Jjct him give fame and glory To the Thii-teen chosen fcAv, Who thi-CAv the boml)s and saved the name Of the Class of TAA-enty-TAVo. XoAv in l!asl c11iall we did our share toAvards Avinning the South At- lantic ( ' hampioiishi]). Suniniei ' s, Bunting and Campbell, all of varsity caliln-e represented us, besides a large number on the scrubs. Just look out foi ' us in Baseball and Tracl . As a closing word let us say to our deal ' Alumni and fellow-cadets, that, although we are yciiiiig in the game, Ave have been here long enough to get the true ' . .M. 1. spirit into our bones. We shall foi ' ever honor your Alma Mater, and oui ' s to he, in defeat and glorify hei- in victory. — Historian. ' ' :J ' - ' Ai ' IJ ' y ' ?. ' .

HuiiJrrd l ,-nly-l ' jur rnURTH CLASS HIS year ours is the largest class in school, there being at the present date over two Iinndred new cadets enrolled. AVe are, prophec.v proving true, a unit of fill III, ' sirength for the Institute, when, in our future years, we shall have |iii -i ' .i iiiini mean third-classmen, rejoicing in our freedom newly-gained, into dignified First-classmen, rejoicing in capes and privileges. During this session tlie Institute was saddled with a doubly redoubled burden. In addition to tlie infantry training of former years there has come artillery, cavalry, and engineering units. Hampered by a lack of facilities in botlr men and materiel, the worli has gone nobly on. This class, having to learn artillery as well as infantry, lias been placed in somewhat adverse circumstances. But we carry on and we don ' t think we are a disgrace to tlie Institute, nor will we fail lier in the pinch. We have seen a record-breaking standard set in the world of athletics this year. Most of the old letter men were liac-k Init we gave Hunt, Gardere, and Fox to the football team, and Page, Kyle, and Romeyn were dur best in basketball Our gi ' eate.st days were after our football team completely demoli.sbed V. P. I. at Roanoke. We were made old cadets during the Thanksgiving liops and lived tlirough it to the fullest extent of the law. Some of us missed the Christmas hops on account of a small matter one night after taps when we turned out in full force to celebrate nothing in general, and everytliing in paniculai-. with ilnshing dippers and clanging water buckets. Early in January we had the only meeting, which any class holds the tirst year, to elect our class officers. Hunt was chosen president, Caldwell vice-president, and Hankins historian. Both elections were unanimous and we truly feel proud of the men we have made our leaders. We promi.se all we are able to fully coale-sced, we shall come iiitu the honor and .sliow the spirit ol ' V not been altogether devoid of merit : iive to the Institute in future years, when, a class imr own. In all things we have tried to uphold Ji. I. (U:r past, tliongh we ourselves speak It, has We have been laying foundations deep and strong. To our future destiny! It nuist inevitably unroll: Fate cannot be hindered. Yes, it lies witliin our own free will to nuike or r.iar our future condition and goal. When we look back upon the milestones — and e try day once seemed to be a league — we have passed, and swear that thus the future will lie good : then we will surely leave our Impress true.

It ' s a weird feeling, more especially when that little bit of parchment certifying that you have suceessfullj ' completed your college educa- tion happens to be depending on those things in front. Thoi-oughly understanding the situation, being ambitious young men desirous of seizing each and every opportunity to be found, there gathered near two score, more or less intelligent individuals, in a certain spot mthin the County of Rockbridge. Here, far from the maddening crowd, safelj ' isolated from the pleasures and diver.sions of the city, they sought to try the soothing influences of Calculus and like subjects upon their wearied minds. In the coui ' se of time oar heroes gained much helpful knowledge which enabled them to find the value of X when given Y and Z; to write a letter which would not begin Dere Mabul; to determine the distance between the earth and the moon through the use of a dead soldier as the only instru- ment, and to locate the most profitable still .situations among the sur- rounding mountains. In a certain chronicle of like events written in ye good old days we read of the arrival of proselytes at B. D ' s. shrine laden with the sackcloth and ash uniform and certain heavy articles which gave forth a pleasant clinking sound when a suitcase was given a sudden ,iar. 0 Temporal O Mores! Senatum well the Senatum has seen fit to deprive the erstwhile garden of this United States of Four Roses and other more or less desirable flowers. We digress, it is true, but it was necessary to explain the moun- r,ir,e Our U,nuln;l-lliirty-six taiuous search of the still places which pi-oved such an interesting diver- sion to the temporary residents of Rockbrido ' c Alnm. The master mind which dominated the research work of these most ex- cellent young men was so eogwheeled and Calenlnsed np to the ninth power that it was possible to use an evoluted Fireplug, Rocks, and other natural phenomena as successful instructors in the art of gathering knowledge of subjects forgotten but not gone. Not for an instant should the reader believe that the light recreation afforded by the perusal of these aforementioned arts demanded the entire absorption of every available moment of time. Far from it In considera- tion of the e dence presented it is quite evident that the far deeper study of necromancy occupied many all- too fleeting moments. This conclusion is derived from the knowledge that the wee small hours of the night were often disturbed by weird and oft repeated calls upon the mystic number twenty- one to bring the bacon home. It is also likely that history came in for a large share of attention, for it was remarked by a majority of those present that the pictures of the four most famous queens in the world when gathered in one hand provided sufficient food for thought and firm grounds for an unfaltering trust in their ability to enrich the holder. Notwithstanding their absorption in these matters it required the as- sistance of many Shepherds to hold the summer Keydets to the straight and narrow path. In spite of the difficulties in the matter of location and the almost insurmountable obstacles Avhich beset the path of pleasui ' c, it was finally decided to transform the wilds of the village into a resemblance of a habitable city. It is true that paved streets, cabarets, the latest shows, and other accessories Avere unobtainable, but by employing extraordinary dili- gence, with the use of great inventive genius a fair measure of success reA ' ard- ed the efforts of the laborers. The strain of jazz bands began to float out upon the still air during the wee small houi ' s. joy was unconfined, and gaiety reigned supreme. As might have been expected there were times when everything grew dull and tiresome, when the hot sun beat dov.n upon the weary workers and almost added brain fever to brain fag, when even the fish bit; and when the daily juties of old barracks life would have been a welcome relief. But these moments of depression were dispelled by the origination of some new sport, outdoor or indoor. Many employed their time in efforts to instruct the waitresses in the art of making biscuits, with only a moderate degree of success. If the constant dropping of water will Avear away a stone it is equally as certain that the constant passing of seconds will wear away time. The Pat e One Hundred-thirty-seven V sunmier drew to an end and the passing days conjured up visions of open- ings, gray uniforms, reveille and rifles. The time drew near when a fond farewell would be spoken to the Alum and the caravan would wend its way toward the meti ' opolis of Lexington to take up winter quarters. Pi ' eparations were begun to end tin- ti-rm in a blaze of celebration, if not of glory, and plans wei ' c laid A ith this end in view. The surrounding country was searched foi- suitable music and at last an orchestra was en- gaged in Waynesboi ' o and transported to the scene of action. Xo detail was neglected and when the night arrived in due course of time everything was ready for the best effort in the way of Final Balls that had ever been pulled off. The .splendor of that dance is beyond description, and it will suffice to say that the oldest inhabitant declared he had never seen anj ' thing to equal it After this great blow-out came the exodus. Some departed with heavy hearts and all with heavy heads. But the sight of barracks nth the asso- ciated realization of re-exams made the Alum seem a veritable paradise, and all found it hard to think of settling down for ten weary months until the welcome air of Auld Lang Syne should again release them from the thrall of monotony.

I., owing to the | I Ml that infantry was the only course of instruction offered. However, with J 111! lieginning of the session of 1919-20, the Reservation took on an aspect Ml l)ustle and innovation such as must have , caused StonevvaU to turn II --i ' o ei m his grave at the sight of such radical departures from the time-honored I , ' -J ' | [ S(|uads right, squads left of earlier days. The principle of the R. O. T. C. as now established by the government is the de elopment at the various colleges of a sufficient number of officers on the reserve list to supply the country ' s needs in the event of war, without the confusion and delay that marked our belated advent into the recent conflict. The Institute has been signally honoi ' ed with four units of the R. t). T. C. : Engineering, Artillery, Cavalry, and Infantry, headed by officers of the regular army and supplied with an enlisted personell and complete equipment for all branches. In an Institution so essentially military, such variety is Indeed the spice of life. Though infantry training for all as the foundation of discipilne still reigns supreme, the specialization for a part of the time by each cadet, according to his choice, in one of the above courses, has done much to relieve the monotony of an invariable routine and to make for a balanced output of officer material. The institution here, of the R. O. T. C, far from being a deiiarture from tradition, is an indication of a progressive spirit and an assurance of rlie continued value of V. M. I. to the nation in the future as in the past. Raime Practice Machine (iiin Drill ,._rv Page One Hundred Sixty-three The Enlisted Personnel Til- : t.

SPRUHAX Next to the militarj supremacy of the Institute, and possibly, from a purely personal viewpoint, even above that in the hearts and hopes of all Cadets, the success of our ath- letic teams holds sway. Honored in defeat and glorified in victory, the Big Team embodies our spirit at home and carries our standards abroad. At times, certain memor- able occasions, it A ' as, and is, the Institute. The success of our teams this year has been notable. JIuch of the credit for that success must be given to the coaching. For the best of that coaching we thank the effi- cient, unassuming Spruhan. In foot- ball an able lieutenant, in basketball a superalative 1 c a d e r — the best coach of the best team in the South- Atlantic. Not the hail-fellow-- vell- met kind who makes his best im- pression at the beginning and dwin- dles to insignificance at the end, but one for whom respect and friend- ship grows by long association. The team, the Corps, the Institute, can never express too fully its apprecia- tion of his woi-k and of him. CAPT. H. jM. read Capt. Kead was a member of the Class of 1916. After his graduation he became a .sub-professor of the In- stitute and has so continued up to the present, with the exception of the time which he spent at Camp Lee. In the spring of 1918 he volun- teei-ed his services as coach of Track and thus undertook the eolo.ssal task of raising a second rate sport to its present high position among the athletics of V. M. I. The squad was composed, for the most part, of Rats who had more ambition than abil- ity. Init wei- ' anxious to give their all for a man whom they all ad- mii ' cd and rei-peeted. By his untir- ing efforts the coach turned out a team of which the school was justly proud. It is no small honor to hold the high position that the V. M. I. team holds in Track and, as has been shown, this honor is due in no small measure to the faithful work of Capt. Read. It is not generally known that the coach receives no compensation for his ser dces, and that what he does is done because of his love for his Alma Mater and his desire to see V. M. I. at the head of tlie list in all branches of sport. ' fm. ' fi r! Page One Hundred Sixiy-nitie ' ' (§in Alma ilatrr Music liy -Maj. Basl)y and C. B. King, ' 22 Woids l)v W. 11. Milton.

WINSTON Bill earned the distinction this year of being the licst manager any athletic team has had since the year Jimmy Hamlin so capably fostered the basketball team under his management.

The manager must AX ' ork untiringly and no matter how much he does there is usuallj ' one thing left undone — or someone to complain about some such trivial omission, at least. No one thinks of the manager as an essential to success. The game is l)Iaved and so-and-so is the star winning all the credit. True, the men who have the skill and training to play Ihe game should get the credit — and their monograms as a reward — but the man who attends to every little detail connected with the entire season should also get liis shai-e. There was nothing too good for the men on his team and Bill attended to every detail connected with their comfort. The numerous trips wei ' e Avell arranged and the usual inconveniences were somehow avoided. It was both quite appropriate and incidental that the successful team of the yeai ' of lOlO should be for1uiu te enough to lia ' e sucli a capable manager as liill Winston. - ■ FOOTBALL SCHEDULE 1919 ' ■ September 22.

At liynchburg Davidson put up a stiff fight.

J. n ■ ' ■ ' - ' ' Tis a long lane that has no turning. SAvcet are the uses of adversity, as V. !M. I. has had ample oecasion to note in the courfo of the past fifteen or twenty years. Only a school which has tasted naught but defeat from its traditional rival for eighteen years — V. 51. I. ' s la. ' -t victory over V. P. I. was won in 1900, the historians tell us — can know how ineffably sweet to the Lexington lads was the triumph achieved at the Fair Grounds on Xov. 25, 19] 9. V. JI. I. won because the Cadets were the better team. Nobody who saw the game is likely to challenge the statement. The heavier Tech eleven fought desperately to avert defeat but its best efforts went for naught against the superior play of the Cadets. That there was nothing savoring of a fluke about their victory was proved by the fact that for most of the game the V. M. I. team was without the services of Leech, its star halfback around whom the team ' s offense was built, but notwithstanding this handicap the Cadets kept the play for the most part in their oppenent ' s territory and ' •orcd a uccnd tcuehdoAni in the last period by way of sewing things up -ind maldiig alisohitely cei-tain of the result. It is useless to try to pick the Jtar of tlie (_ ' adft team as every single man did his utmost and was, consequently, an essential cog in the successful machine and, therefore, a star. Stuart was the gamest little fighter ever seen on the Roanoke field and his touchdown a, ' ;sured the victory. Bunting was speed per.sonified and caught the long pass for the first touchdown, while Dickson played his . ' uberb defensive game thruout. Bacharach made his initial appearance in the backfield after Jimmie Leech was banished and his long punts averaging aroinid sixty-five yards kept the ball in Tech ' s terri- tory. The line worked as a unit and Tech could neither hold ror gain thru the charging onslaught of Mantoi-, Summers, Harrison, and Smith, Hawkins and Ma ' on cut ;hort Tech ' s hopes of gaining around the ends and, time and again, broke up plays before they could well get started. As said before, the game was one of eleven stars, or rather of twenty-two — as Tech played a beautiful game and, tho outplayed, they vs ' ere not outfought. -ircS-i ' ; jPfl f One Hundred SeTeniy-se-ven V Dabney Mcruistion THE SCRUBS Little need be said, and not enough ean l)e said, of the scrubs who aetually made the team what it was. L ' ntii-ing, unrewarded, and unseltish. these men worked as hard as any man on the varsity and anyone of them would have been a star on the avei-age team had he only had the chance. And still these men were not scrubs in the actual sense of tlie woixl. They were all called on time and again to (ill a place on the varsity and in every ease they made good. They are members of the Big Team of 1919-20 and we look upon them as such.

JI. Bacharach ranager J. W. Nurney H.UrFIOXS of the oiith Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Associa- tion and Champions of the South! A scientifically developed ma- ( hiue of stars, each of whom gave his best to the team and yet made ail enviable individual record; a highly capable Coach, who knew the game as an expert and had the confidence of his men as well a- confidence in them ; a squad of the gamest, most faithful Scrubs that ever built up a Big Team; and five hundred loyal Keydets as full of fight as the players themselves — these are some of the reasons why the Ba ' ketball feascn of 1919-20 will always be remembered as one of the most gloriously succesi-ful periods in the athletic annals of V. M. I. No rerume written to space can begin to do justice to the spectacular features of the past season in which there was nothing monotonous except the ircqucncy and regularity with which V. M. I. ' s opponents were skillfull} and thoroughly trimmed. It was never a question of Who won? , but What ' s the score? In this connection it may be noted that in almost every game V. M. I. rolled up an imposing score, at the same tim,c allowing the other team to make only an occasional basket. Virginia Tech. enjoyed the twin distinction of being the only team to score over twenty points againft V. M. I., and of being the only team to prevent V. M. I. from scorinsx over thirty points in a game. V. M. I. ' s bewildering fast floor work and almost perfect pasring. combined with the fact that every man on the team cculd— a ' xl did — shoot, proved too much for every rival for South Atlartic honors. A five-star basketball team is about as common as a royal straight flush — and about as easy to beat Tl ' i ' i fact was evidenced when the team got off to a fljing st.nt and played through the season Avithout a slump. To coach G. H. Spruhan belongs a vast amount of the m di for the splendid performances of his team. He showed himseU to be a tireless worker, an inspiring coach, and a genuine spoits r-ar. Brpidcs the flawless manner in which he directed th strategy of every game, he possessed an uncanny knack of pn K- ing rut a weak spot in the game — and of strengthening it. Only the team itself could appreciate the value of his services more than did the Alumni and Corps. Captain Bert Bacharaeh, the All-South Atlantic guar in 1919 and 1920, and now playing his fourth year on the Varsitv, well deserved the honor of leading a team that furni bed three men 1o the mythical All-South Atlantii- Xurne.v Pajt One Huiuired Highty-nm V quint. Besides bis uiiusiuil (iiialiticatifins t ' oi ' tlir captaincy, be combined lighting speed with an ability to score that is most uniisnal in a guai ' d. And time after time, he would race down the floor and cage the ball while his forward was wondering what it A as all about. Bacharaeh made 76 points during the season while bis opposing forwards i ' ere making 50. Jimmie Leech, Captain for lf21, and All-South Atlantic Guard in 1920, is fitted in every way to succeed Bacharaeh as Captain. He rated close to Bacharaeh in scoring ability and proved his value to the team by guard- ing even closer than his running mate. Leech was generally busy making his forward miserable, but he found time to get in nearly every play and he could invariably be relied on to take the ball down the floor by himself. Jere Bunting, All-South Atlantic forward, demonstrated his clever- ness by leading a free-scoring team in the number of points made. Bunting ' s accurate passing contributed to many of the scores made by his team-mates, and he always managed to elude his affectionately clinging guard long enough to display his distinctive and exceedingly effective south-paw hook. Moi ' eover, the goals he tossed from, the foul line helped to swell V. !M. L ' s top-heavj scores and to give him the substantial total of 139 points (o the undersized number of 8 made by his opponents. Summers, at center, developed rapidly and astonishingly during the sea- son. His Improvement in form and speed became more obvious in every game, his guarding became airtight, and his shooting deadly. His work reached its climax in the last game of the season, in which he out.jimiped, outscored, and outplayed his stellar rival. Parrish of V. P. I. Summers scored 72 points for the season, while the ])ivot men of opposing teams con- tented themselves with making 38. Henry Lee, at right forward, ranked next to Bunting in scoring ability, having 112 points to his rivals 14. Lee started the season with a rush, annex- ing 13 goals from the floor in the first game played. His playing was at Its best In the first game with V. P. I., in which he turned in six prettily ex- ecuted field goals. A superior brand of basketball is natui-al to him, and he is expected to play his usual distinguished ganu: ' next year. Campbell waited all season for his chance, which eanu ' when he replaced Lee at forward. While he was not 1 lie finished player Lee was, he made up foi ' this by his determination and figbling spirit. Campbell could be counted on to play al to]) speed eveiy niiiiuti ' that he was in the game. Stuart and Hawkins, substitute guards, were awai ' ded letters for their wholehearted, consistent playing throughout the season. On an average team, these men would have starred, a fact clearly shown whenever either of them played in a game. Stuart, in particular, was quick-thinking and aggressivt ' , and he should prove a worthy running mate for Leech next sea- son. Unfortunately, Hawkins, like Bai ' harach, will be lost by graduation. The Senilis, especially llie ral leaiii, caiinni be two highly praised for the unselfish spirit shown in their «ork with the Varsity. It was the nightly scrimmages with the Scrubs that perfected te Varsity ' s game, and anyone who has seen the Varsity play will concede that the Scrubs did their work tlioriiiighlv. ;SilIiiKiii€ Piujr (Jitf lluiiJrrd l-yiijlily-li Page One Hundred Ehjhly-lhree The deciding game of the series with V. P. I, was plaj ed in Lynchburg. It was in itself a classic and deserves to be described from start to finish. Both teams « ' ei-e at the height of their development and both teams were deteraiincd to win. The lead changed hands several times in the first half, but the Varsity proved itself of Championship caliber by drawing ahead un- til it held the long end of a 16 to 12 score at the close of the first period. Tech was out for blood in the second fi ' ame, but V. M. I. was there to win that game and every man Avas full of the confidence and fight that had proved the undoing of every opponent. The second half was repetition of the first, and the critical game of the season ended in V. jNI. I. ' s favor 28 to 26. For V. M. I., Bachai ' aeh played his last game like the star that he is. Bunting ' s shouting and passing Avere marvels of accuracy and Leech ' s game wa ' i flaAvle. ' s. Campbell, playing right forward, was in the thick of every scrimmage. Summers, at center, was at his best in every department of the game and stood out as the star of the clas.sic. Earlier in the season, several teams had cancelled, and now an attempt was made to schedule other contests, particularly with Georgetown and Vandci ' bilt. This was impossible, and the greatest Basketball Team in the history of the Institute rested on its laurels. BASKETl ' .ALL SCHEDULE 1920 Date Score Score Jan. 10 Roanoke Y. M. C. A 18— V. l.

BABE BALL HE Baseball Team — with only three of last year ' s monogram men left as a nucleus — has started a hard schedule and apjjears to be one of the best teams that has ever represented the Institute. The team has a big obstacle to surmount, namely the records of both football and basketball, but the foi-m shown thus far gi ' es us cause to be- lieve that Spruhan is going to duplicate Ms previous records in the other sports and turn out a • ' inner. Capt. Dan Ingram is pitching beautiful hall ami is well backed up by such mound ai-tists as Pate, Page, P adgett, and Burgei-. Gardene is a new man but his work behind the bat has labelled him a star in that department. Jere Bunting is holding down first base; Stuart, Leech, and Mann are play- ing the other three positions in the intickl. while Jordan, Perkinson. and Johnson are giving them a hard fight for their jobs. In the outfield, Baeh- arach, McMillan, and Summers are playing stellar games with Scd ' ick and Roberts as alternates. With such good material and the confidence inspired l)y other succes- sers. it is only right to expect the Itaseliall team of 1920 to he one of the best in the section. -:i¥t : m Pai e One Hundred liighty-sei BASEBALL SCHEDI ' LE 1920 Date Score Score Sat.

In the first met t asair.st Trinity, we won, douliling the score (Hi thcui and taking every first place i xcept one. Then at Blaclisburg, we lost liy a lone point. The meet was full of thrills and excitement, victory being undecided till the last event was over. Rut by far the greatest achievement of the year was tlie copping of second place in the !S, A, I. A, A, meet held at Johns Hopkins, our first year In the Association,, winning over Y. I ' , I, and many other fast teams. There were no out- standing stars on the sipiad liut a few wh.i did the best work might l. e mentioned, Knapp, F,, captain, was always good for .several points in the weights and .lumps. Kane was a consistent wiinier of the sprints. Cleaves. .Tones A.. .Sebriiig. and Smith D. V. did some wonderful work and we will miss them. Still, the porspects are brighter this year for an even better team than last year ' s. Over a hundred men reported at the first call for candidates and are rapidly rounding into form, Kane, captain, and Costello, a fourth-classman, will represent us in the sprints. Summers and Mantor are doing wonders witli the weights, %vhile Semans J., who won the firsts in the S. A. I. A.

Jlanager JIarshall It. has made out a good schedule but was forced to place all three meets away from home on account of the lack of facilities here. The first is at Trinity on April 17th; the second Is at Charlottesville on April 23rd against the Uni- versities of ' nrginia and North Carolina. The thii-d and largest is the S. A. I. A.

He is a wearer of the Monogram himself and since 1918. when he took charge of the scpiad. has lifted It to the high position wliich it occupies.

I. has taken on new life within the last few yeavs and this present season ' s outlook is promising indeed. Heretofore, the schedule in this sport has been erratic, one year several meets being played, the next year none. But a review of last year ' s Spring Tournament and the enthusiasm with which it was entered into by the sixty entrants assui ' es us that tennis has gained the popuiaritj ' it justly deserves. The tournament began in the latter part of April but, on account of so few courts, it dragged out into June before the finals were reached. In five hard-fought sets, Blake defeated Lee. thereby winning the championship of the school. The only schedule match was played against Trinity on May 8th, and resulted in a 3-2 victory for us. For his brilliant work of the past two years, Lee was selected as Cap- tain-Manager and from the schedule he has made out it appears to have been a particularly % ' ise choice. It is the largest schedule ever attempted but promises to be completed successfully. There are three matches away from Lexington and probably as many as five on our own courts. The Spring Tournament will be held as usual though, according to present plans, it will start late in May. About a hundred men are out working for the team and there is a wealth of good material from which to choose. The following men showed up well last year and are back again: Lee, Davidson, McMillan, ]Montague, Clarkson, Young, J. ]M,, and JIaerae. There are several men who are showing real skill and they will make it hot for someliodv in the race for the team. The Schedule is as Follows: Lynchburg College Lexington Geo.

' ' ■_ i Page One Hundred Ninety-five - V - ' ' ■ y-- BOXING AND WRESTLINQ L ' ayt.-iMaiiagcj- ..Munill HESE sports have gained popularity and prestige at a remarkable rate during the past year, due to the fact that the Athletic Associa- tion has replaced the old, worn out equipment, with new mats and gloves. It was on account of the late arrival of this ncAv material that the Boxing and Wrestling teams were forced to tuni down of- fers of matches -H-ith West Point and several Virginia Colleges dur- ing the past season. Heretofore, about the only ] ' ecognition the Boxing and Wrestling teams have received has been confined to bouts and matches betAveen the halves of basketball games at (iovcrnment Inspection and Finals. Each year, how- ever, an increasing ininibcr of men begin to realize the value of these sports and this season over seventy-five candidates were out. There is no fear of this interest declining and it is a surely that several hiter-collegiate meets will be arranged for next year. Nor is this increased interest confined to the men at the Institute: all over the country teams are being organized at the various colleges and univcr.sities, and these sports are being recognized as inter-collegiate athletics. The rapid development of these sports is. in a great measure, due to Mr. J. AV, Zimmerman of Lexington, whose untiring efforts and skillful coaching have laid the foundation for the production of teams alilc to uphold the name of V. M.

Each Saturday night the orchestra furnishes the music at the picture show. It also puts on the Saturday afternoon te dansants during the hops which are the peppiest of them all. Of course drama would not be complete without music so the orchestra invariably makes the trips with the Dramatic Club, In May, a call came from the Richmond Alumni Association for the jazzers to furnish music for an old-time V, M, I. hop at the country club. This meant another trip as well as showing the alumni some barracks pep. In the springtime the after suisper concerts on the stoops help to lessen the days until finals. Probably the greatest contribution of all has been- the production of the V. JI. I. Spirit on a Columbia record by the orchestra and quartet. This necessitated a trip to New York last December. Its success has surpassed all expectations. Alunmi all over the world are now able to listen to the song of their Alnui Mater as only Institute men can render it. If you want to hear this year ' s cadet orcheslra ,iust try the Spirit on your vie. Fain, J. C Leader Smith, K. M Manager King, C.

It was a good little nail, as nails go — straight, shiny, and sharp- pointed All it lacked to make it a useful member of society w as application. For all the good it was doing humanity, it might just as well have been rusting away under the East River. Then one day there came a hammer and drove the nail sharply into a wall. There it remains to this day, living a career of usefulness and service. There is a business house with a vital story to tell the world. It ' s a good story and they know it, but they don ' t know how on earth they can apply it. Then along comes the Big Hammer of Advertising, and — bang! the idea is driven home with a smash! What is the moral? Just this — your business may in some way differ from all other business. Your product may possess some quabty that all others lack. There may be a nail on your shelf that ought to be utilized. You may not realize it is there — it may take an outsider to find it. An Eskimo would be amazed at our factory whistles, while to us they are but a necessary evil. But even we, as advertising specialists, cannot hit the nail on the head, unless you take the time to explain your problems and find out what service we are capable of rendering you. In other words, take your advertising seriously. Don ' t rush into our office with some copy and say Shoot it through tomorrow. You get speed this way, but not Service. And Service is the handle of the hammer. Without it the hammer is useless. For nearly half a century we have directed our energies toward perfectmg our service. We believe that today we are better organized than ever before to provide our clients with the necessities of effective advertising. ALBERT FRANK COMPANY ADVERTISING Frank James Rascovar.

The Transcript is a business- man ' s paper; it frequents the finan- cial districts; it is a fixed institu- tion in educational circles; but first of all and most lasting of all it is a HOME newspaper.
