His other abilities were a big asset to ole A Company ' s intramural accomplish- ments. Although saddened at losing him to the Medical College of Virginia, we are certain that in Gillum we have an up-and-coming man in dental surgery.

BOMB Andrew Wentworth Harg roves, Jr. PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA Pre-Medical Field Artillery Sergeant-lVIajor (1); Norfolk-Portsmouth Club; Virginia Acad- emy of Science. The Portsmouth- Lover kept the girls in a continual whirl. He was the quietest man in the Pre-Med section, but astounded everyone by bringing two, not one, girls down to Doc ' s Lab one Hop Week-End. Says nothing unless prompted, or spoken to. Photography is his biggest hobby, and he spends most of his time in the dark room. Good luck, Bunny.
