VVhen Homer came to us as a freshman in the year '19, few of us realized the possibilities in him. But it did not take long for us to see that he came here to make the best of his college days and each year has brought us added proof of his capabilities. Not until his senior year did we learn to know him wellg for up to this time he traveled from his home to school each day. His nature is quiet and reserved, though when out with his classmates he has a marked sense of humor. He has had some serious interruptions in his four years of school work, but through persistent efforts has made good in his scholastic career. Homer is planning to do evangelistic work after he leaves college. His tenacity of purpose and high ideals will certainly crown his efforts with success. Freshman year-Va. Lee Society.
