King College will have to seek quite a long time to fill the man ' s-sized shoes left there by Bruce. But ' Let the dead past bury its dead. From out of those jet black, sparkling eyes one continually sees a ray of friendliness and an ever-present desire to help his fellow man. Bruce is not the most remarkable man we have ever met. We know other men with features more fine, with a deeper sense of humor than his. He is not Wally Reid, not Rudolph Valentino, nor yet Sir Isaac Newton, but he is Bruce Gordon (which is a hundred times better than being any of these to us,) and we like him, for he is in every sense of the word a man. May his own path be filled with the happiness which he pours out so frecK to others and may he ever retain the kindness of heart and forgiving nature which is now his. William McClintic Hampton Memphis, Tennessee l rA; Junior Manager Track Team. Coxswain Harrv Lee Second Crew, 2. When Bill came to Washington and Lee he was a youthful prodigy and now when he grabs the old sheepskin he still is a prodigy with some of the youthfulness worn off. He is a shark at figuring things out, and back in 1Q20 it is rumored that he lost a bet, but most probably that is only propaganda, propagated by some of his victims. We don t mind much when Bill wins a bet be- cause what he has is always half yours. Although Walter Camp has persistently overlooked Hampton, we know that he made a great showing as a Second Crew Coxswain and that he also carries away well-earned monograms in suicide and as a member of the dancing team. Sweet Briar and Blacksburg are among his la orite haunts. Bill came to us from Blackstone Mili- tary Academy. Soon both Blackstone and W. and L. will boast of him as a distin- guished Alumnus. Willie is a good sport, true friend, and gentleman Sixtx-three

CALYX George White Good Winchester, Virginia A T A; n A E; Advertising Manager, Ring- turn. Phi, j; Mink Staff, 2. Art Editor, 3, Assistant Editor 4; Band, 2. George came to us from the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and we might well stop with that remark. He early became an artist, and while at college dixided his time between drawing for the Mink and drawing drafts on his father. It is through his capacity as an illustrator that G. W. G. is best known to the students. However, George ' s talents are not limited to art, for he is well known in other circles. Recently he gave up his claim to the billiard championship in order to indulge in the popular game of golf. Owing to the con- fusion arising at the contrast of scoring points in these two games, George has not as yet broken any records. To his friends he is always bright and cheerful, ever loyal and true, and always ready to help. We predict for him much success as one of the country ' s kading illustrators, although he has hopes of be- coming a prominent doctor. Sixty-tivo 1923 Harry Louis Goodman Portsmouth, Virginia t) E n; Harry Lee Boat Club. Harry came to Washington and Lee after graduating from Woodrow Wilson High School in the Fall of iqiq. Soon after his arrival on the Campus he made many friends with upper classmen as well as Freshmen. Harry is not athletically inclined and devotes most of his time to iiis work. He is getting a certificate in the School of Com- merce this year besides his B.A. degree. This is an honor gotten by few and we should be proud to possess a man with such ability. Though not go ing out for any athletics, it did not stop him in keeping up the fighting spirit of the Generals, for he has been at all the games and always with the cheer leader in keeping that ole spirit going. Harry is quiet, modest, and unas- suming and upon his arrival in the business world he will likely reach success in a very few years.

CALYX George Edward Harris Greenville, North Carolina I BK; 2 Y; Calyx fa , 1,4: ' - Mink Staff, Art Editor. 2; Petty Players, j; Arcades Club, French Scholarship), 1: Vincent L Bradford Scholarship. 2: James McDowell Scholarship, j: Student Assistant in English Department, 2. Ted has been into something ever since his Freshman year, and no matter what it is, success always seems to be forthcoming. .Although it appears that he does everything with equal success, art is really his hobby. Given a pencil he can write a story, or a poem, or draw a picture — and do either one with equal ease. Scholastic honors seem to have all come his way, but academic pur- suits have not taken all of his time. He has taken an active part each year in the art work of student publications, and has played successfully in the Petty Players. Ted is thoroughly steady and dependable, and has made many friends both at college and in Lexington. His school da s will probably not be over for several years, but when he enters upon some lifework we can safely say that he wi be successful. 1923 Lee MoNCRiEF Harrison Bluffton, Georgia 2 N; Xr0; W. F.: S. C: Biological Society: Assistant in Chemistry . j. true Southern gentleman — that ' s Pat — -a man among men and a friend to all. Pat took his preparatory work at Emory College. In iqij he left Emory, and after serving two years in the Ordnance Depart- ment of the Army as Engineer of Tents he came to W. and L. in iqiq. Though he is getting an A.B. degree here — and an honor man in all departments — he has especially distinguished himself blowing up test tubes, etc., around the chemistry lab. He was not with us in iqzi-iq22, but returned for the iq22-iq23 session to run the chemistry stockroom and obtain his degree. Sixty-four
