[ OXCH Vt. J ' vjuJP ALVIN ' S chief characteristic is the inimitable edai with which he can roll a cigarette. Bull Durham is his forte, and the nonchalance with which he can bum the makins is a source of never-failing admiration. Yet he is as fine and companionable a little runt as ever stunted his growth with nicotine. His motto is, Never let your books interfere with your education. If he spent half the time with his books that he does with that old crippled mandolin, there ' s no telling what heights of erudition he might achieve. Anyhow, Alvin is a good sort to be classmates with, and if he ever lost his good humor nobody was around to note it. He ' s too lazy to lose anything, for fear he might have to go find it at some later time. Inertia is, or at any rate should be, his middle name, it permeates him and saturates him till he resembles Gibraltar in the ease with which he can be made to move. He is an ardent exponent of the conservation of energy and has never been known to make two motions where one would suffice. How he gets by the Faculty is a deeply shrouded mystery, but he refuses to divulge the formula. Alvin is living proof that all great men are small of stature. He is every inch a man, a friend and a philosopher. Here ' s to Alvin Beale. Paie Tmenlv

S MJ Haam ENTER, Mr. Drewry, the scientist par excellence of the Class of ' 14. Leslie started by passing Professor Koontz ' s class in Embryology with a grade of B the first time he took it, which in itself would entitle him to a high niche in William and Mary ' s Hall of Fame. To cap the climax of his biological achieve- ments, Drewry has discovered a secret process for manufacturing butter out of grass. On interview he merely says: Very simple; all you need is a cow and a churn. Next in importance was Leslie ' s due hunting expedition on Cary field on a certain P. M. So successful was he that the Faculty, after learned and mature deliberation, advised him to go home and rest up until the next session. Like the proverbial bad penny, he came back last fall, and barring accidents, will be seen parading with the cap and gown brigade in June. For sound, sensible college spirit, with trimmings or without, Drewry can hold his own with the best of them. In his chosen profession, that of M. D., we predict that he wnll give us all good cause to be proud that Drewry was with us in our last lap in the race for an education and the chase for a sheepskin. Pcjjje Tivenl )-tnw
