Varsity Football ' 25; Literary Society; Tar Heel Club. “Sometimes I sit and think; sometimes 1 just sit.” “Brownie’s” cheerful disposition and ready smile have made him many friends at Blue Ridge. Some day we intend to pay a visit to the office of “Dr. Brown” and find him a successful physician. We are certain that he will achieve all that we ex¬ pect of him. ROBERTSON SHUELL CATHEY “Bob” Hendersonville, N. C. Varsity Football ’23, ’24, ' 25; Captain Football ' 24; Tar Heel Club; Vice-President Day Students Club. “A hale fellow well met.

Football Squad ’25; Basketball Squad ' 26; Literary Society; Cotillion Club; Tar Heel Club; Editor-in-Chief Gadawhee; Editor-in-Chief Blue Ridgian. “The world means something to the capable.” Mayne is truly one of the big men at Blue Ridge. He has participated in all forms of athletics, but his work along liter¬ ary lines is most outstanding as the above statistics will show. A pleasing person¬ ality and a hard worker, he has made many friends and an enviable school record and the Class and Blue Ridge will miss him mightily. We’re with you, Mayne, make good. HARRY BAILEY “Slim” Penland, N. C. Football Squad ' 25; Basketball Squad ' 26; Tar Heel Club; Blue Ridgian Staff; Gadawhee Staff. “Friends have I made.” “Slim,” the school’s tallest and wittiest. It will be many a day before we forget his laugh-producing remarks. However, “Slim” has not confined himself to evoking merri¬ ment but has taken an active part in all other activities. We will always remem¬ ber him as a fine companion and boy, and expect big things of him. WILLIAM BURKE BOYD “Burke” Miami, Fla. Baseball ' 24. ' 25; Basketball ' 24, ’25; Basketball Squad ’26; Prefect Board; President, Florida Club; Business Manager Gadawhee; Business Manager, Blue Ridgian ; Literary Society. “Out of breath to no purpose arid very busy about nothing.” “Burke,” another four year man, has al¬ ways had the best interests of Blue Ridge at heart. His work as business manager of both the Gadawhee and Blue Ridgian has been largely responsible for their suc¬ cess, and he has given his best to school athletics. “Burke’s” determination to suc¬ ceed should carry him high in the business world. jyjy y y j V VV VVW .W W W Vi W W AV WVi W Vi Twenty-Five

“The Gad 1926 a w h e e TZMZMZM M MTMZWL GEORGE LESLIE CONLEY “George” Marion, N. C. Tar Heel Club “Know the true value of tune; no idleness; no laziness, no procrastination.” We are deeply indebted to Marion, N. C. for sending us this lad. A brilliant stu¬ dent, a hard worker, he has made an envi¬ able record during his one year stay. We believe in him and know that he will make us proud of him. HENRY HARMON EDEN “Hap” Clio, S. C. Varsity Football ' 25; Basketball ' 26; Literary Society; Vice-President South Carolina Club; Cotillion Club; Cadawhee Staff. “To do well is to succeed.” All the way from Clio came “Hap.” Be¬ sides being an excellent student; a valu¬ able member of the Literary Society; and a member of the Gadawhee Staff, ‘“Hap” has distinguished himself in athletics. We let him go with our best wishes knowing that our loss will be some one else’s gain. ROBERT BULL ERCKMAN “Boh” Hendersonville, N. C. Football Squad 25 ; South Carolina Club; Cotillion Club; Day Students Club. “Arguing is the spice of life.” “Bob’s” love of argument should win him a place as a great lawyer some day. He has been a faithful member of ’26 for four- years and his likeable qualities and cheer¬ ful disposition have won him a host of friends at Blue Ridge. He leaves a place that will be hard to fill.
