He dropped by and snatched a Bachelor ' s degree two years ago, but tlie tie that binds to WiUiamsburg is a liard one to overcome, and hack he came this ear. He is rather an ideal combination of scholar and athlete. When here before lie made one of the best records at third base that any of our baseball artists can boast, and performed with almost equal skill on the pig-skin. At the same time, he has quite a number of the Faculty believing that he is one of the most liberal patron- izers of the Standard Oil Company. Alore- over, at times he is a poet, and this may be readily verified by a swift perusal of the only poem among our Jokes and Grinds. But enough of this, for you ' ve alread been eulogized in a previous Annual, Lemuel Francis, and besides, you ' re too much of a real man to want to hear your- self praised. But pardon us if we insist that you are the cream of the .M. A. Class of 1915. 21 :C0L0 l qL - Tgl5 ECHO Franklin Mason Barnes n K A., Phoenix; Treasurer German Club, 1914-15. Ladies and Gentlemen, behold the most serious man in our class, — yes, in our Col- lege, Franklin Barnes. He is a native of Williamsburij, which may have caused this, althousih we have earnestly tried to con- vince him that we did not hold against him a thing which he could not help. He wears ;o serious an air that he needs little other apparel, and the seriousness of his laugh or smile is marvelous. However, this is but the first impression ; gradually, as his re- serve melts away in conversation and com- panionship, one begins to see him as he is, active, energetic and successful ; Past Grand Master of the Tango, Sorority Squeeze, etc.. Science Shark and Debater. He is in everything, and doesn ' t talk about it. The Phoenix proudly numbers him among her e.x-presidents, and it would be hard to find a student-activity in which he is not interested. Franklin is a lawyer in embr o. much to the anxiety of the present constellation of legal lights, and their fear is indeed well grounded, for we feel that whatever he may imdertake he will, b that quiet perse erance of his. achieve. 22 :C0L0AHI L- - ' ' TgiS- - ECHO Fraxcis Whst Cooke Alpha Theta; Phoenix; Vice-President .

The casual observer does for it takes a boon companion to fathom and see Cookey as he is. His mathemati- cal brain is ever alert, and he finds the sweetest pleasure in working out the de- tails in the construction of his trans-aethe- rial railroad, which he strongly holds will easil bind our Lunar neighbor to us, and which he firmly expects to have well under way within a few years, he the engineer of this simple project. Even though hi mind often soars above this Mundane Insti- tute to wrestle with the problems of the infinite, et his logic is good in the practi- cal problems of real life ; so if you want sound reasoning and brotherly advice, go to Francis W. In literary circles the Phoenix boasts him a Phoenician of the Phoenicians, and in the . M. C. A. his efforts to maintain al- ways high inoral tone among the students have been felt even beyond the ca; ' npus. Doc thinks a report card looks good adorned with A ' s, and still better when he cares to square them, — hence a part of his time spent in dropping credits into the reg- istrar ' s sack. Professor J. M. swears that he is an apt student in the artistic use of language, almost equalling his tutor him- self in that accomplishment. In all of his noble and sincere actixity in college life Cooke is one that his Alma Mater will always point to with pride. Here ' s to Doc — rise, gentlemen, let us drink a long health to one who is an honor to the class of ' 15. 23 :coLOMi qL- rgig ' e c h o Victor Ewart Gladstone Emery Sigma Upsilon; Scholarship Holder, 1912, 1913, 1914; Associate Editor of Flat Hat, 1912-1915; Editor-in-Chief of Colonial Echo, 1914; Charter member of Gordon-Hope Lit- erary Club; Associate Editor Colonial Echo, 1915. Victor swooped down upon us four years ago from the wilds north of Mason and Dixon ' s line, and in that brief time we ]ia e almost civilized him into a real ' ir- ginian with an accent. He didn ' t arrive with any blowing of horns, but it didn ' t take the Faculty long to realize that a mighty curler was among them, and in ses- sion extra ordinary they solemnly decreed that A was to be his regu ' ar mark, and no deviation from that standard has ever been noted. Nor has all of his time been taken up with a s stematic conquest of faulty French verbs or an unfaltering pursuit of undersized bacteria in the Science Hall ; he has found time to annex various and sundry college honors. Didn ' t he once tell original jokes to that humorless aggrega- tion, the Spottswood Club? Wasn ' t he one of the founders of the Gordon-Hope? And who but he edited the Colonial Echo of 1914 for us? The;e are only a few of the honors that he wears so modestly ; he is responsible for the production of a great many atrocities which appear unsigned in the college pub- lications, and other things known to the proper parties, unknown to the rest. But when you stand at finals, Victor, with a degree in each hand and that twitch- ing little smile on your face, we ' re all going to take of¥ our hats to you and be mighty proud that we can do it. .And we ' d like to see you back next year, for we need men like von. 24 :COLOMI qL ' ' TOlg ECHO C)i.i i;r Walter Frey Sigma Phi Epsilon; Phoenix; Assistant Business Mgr.

Editing is his forte, and as the editor of a Williamsburg weekly, it must be. Despite the fact that there was never any news, the Flat Hat was, under his editorship, always full of it.

These last he forgot once, when mathematics was pressing him hard, but that is another story.

State Oratorical Contest, 1914; Associate Editor Colonial Echo, 191 5; and Senior Class Prophet, 1915. Here we have a real literary cuss , a chap who can write both prose and poetry ; in fact, Robert W. Chambers and Ella Wheeler Wilcox put together haven ' t got a thing on Harris. Besides being a master of form, Herman Lee teems with ideas, and whenever there is anything to be writ- ten H. L. is the man for the job. Since his first year in College he has been a con- stant contributor to the Lit , he has been on the Staff of both the Literary L gazine and the Flat Hat for seve ral years, and this vear he was elected prophet of the class of 191 5, which in intself is all that need be said as to his literary ability. However, notwithstanding the fact that the literary bug has stung Harris rather severely, he is not all temperament, but is an all-round good-fellow , who can handle a problem in calculus or buy a cake of soap as well as the next inan. Bejng something of an Adonis, and a good dancer, Harris is quite a favorite among the ladies. He is none the less a man ' s man, and we feel sure that his literary temperament will in no way interfere with the accomplishment of big thintrs after he leaves college. 26 :COLO HI qL-- TBiS E C H O :J JOHN Ro HORNE PHOENIX; ' Varsity Foothall Team, 1912- 13; i9 4- 5- J. Rii Ifi rrii is the ti:ime, but so quiet and unassuming is lie that one can hardly belie e it. Certain it is that the name was never given to him, imless it «as tor blowing the horn of someone else. Roy first made his appearance at William and Mary in the dim, dead past, and after spending a few terms here, went out into the wild and wooly southwest to impart knowledge to young mountaineers. But last September he came back to us, and the Class of ' 15 is proud to have him on its roll. Roy is a serious student and a piofound thinker, hut he says so little that even the professors had a hard time finding it out. On the gridiron, however, it was different. There the proverbial bushel would not suffice; the horn made itself heard — and felt. Nor was it found to be a little tin horn, but rather a big mega- phone with a hurricane behind it, for he played football and he played hard, as all his opponents will attest. J. Ro Home, we drink to you as a gridiron artist, a student, and a man, but we would ask that ou throw off that cloak of modesty and share with us your experience, our wis- dom, and your talents. 27 COLO HI lL ' - Tgig ECHO Clarence Jennixgs Alpha Theta ; Philomathean ; Vice-Presi- dent Sophomore Class, 1913, and Junior Class, 1914; Y.

Clarence Jennings is our busy man, and that is not all — he does things. Ever since he entered the Academy, some years ago, too many to mention in a polite write- up, he has been active in practically e ' ery pliase of college life. The lecture room, of course, has received most of his time, as becomes a good student, but not content with curling the professors, this energetic young man must needs conquer other worlds. Accordingly, he interested himself in athletics, in Literary Societ ' work, in the Y. M. C. A., in the College publica- tions and in Calico. And he has made him- self a factor in every one of these varied interests, not by politics or wire-pulling, but by sheer ability and stick-to-it-ive- ness. He was a cracker-jack lineman on the ' Vftrsity eleven ; he was last year President of the Philomathean Literary Society; he is now not only President of the Senior Class, but also President of the . M. C. A. and of the Student Council, an editor of the Colonial Echo. VHce-Presi- dent of the Athletic Council, Business Manager of the Literary Magazine, and Chemistr - Laboratory Assistant. A man who has done as much in College as Cla- rence has is bound to do big things later, and we prophesy a splendid future for our President. 28 C0L0 I L rgi5- ECHO Liiwis Jones II K A. N. N. O.

Unus came into our midst four years ago, fresh from the fields of Middlesex, and immediately won his fjreat popidarity with that unfailini; smile of his. His ver first year here found him a memher of the ' arsity Nine, on which he has phued every season since, in e ery position from twirler to right fielder. Being master of the ' light, fantastic ' , he has ever been a shining light in the German Club, and imder his admin- istration that Club was put on its present secure financial basis by his introduction of the pay as you enter system. Unus possesses more hard common sense than is usually allotted to men of twice his age, and his trite saying, ' Taint no use to argue when you know you ' re wrong is widely accepted here. Whether on the athletic field, in the class-room, or the ball-room, Unus Jones is the right man in the right place, and the Class of 1915 is open in its admiration and love for him. 29 COLOMI 1 E C H O John- William Massey Jawn has completed his College course in about half the time required by the usual student. As he lives in Newport News, and goes home each night, it is hard for us to say much about his off-dut habits, but we know that as a student he is in a class by himself. It is not strange that one little due in a history class last fall, upon hearing him answer a charac- teristic question covering the essential fea- tures in the world ' s history since Adam ' s time, turned to the writer and asked why the teacher didn ' t occupy the platform, — for he has an inexhaustible supply of knowl- edge forever on tap, which, however, he does not ever try to force on anyone. In fact, if modesty can be a fault, then John Massey is among the faultiest men of our ken, and we sincerely wish that he had spent more time with . us, that we might claim a deeper acquaintance with him. We wish you success.

There are al va s a few enerjzetic indi- viduals in every community who, in fact and deed, make things go, and Charley is one of them here. A glance at the honors above listed attests the truth of this, and but for his modesty and the lack of space, numerous other achievments of his that might be here mentioned are omitted. He is by no means a grind, however, and has never, since we have known him, per- mitted his books to interfere ith his edii- cation. He has e er been an ardent pursuer of Physics, which proves him a genius, — and of the fair sex, which proves that he isn ' t, so what are we to think? Charley is husintss all the way up, and it takes a shrewd engraver or photographer indeed to get his name to any contract that doesn ' t bring to Renick and the interests he repre- sents a great deal more than to the other party. No one can know the difficulties under which he has been forced to work i:i financing this volume of the Echo , with- out admiring the work, the tact, and the preseverance that alone have made poisible its appearance this year. We consider ourselves honored to have his name enrolled with ours in the Clas- of 1915. and we wish and predict for him the success he so fullv deserves. 31 C0L0MI 1L _5Qt 5S4 E C H O WiLBURX S.

Obviously, the man who said Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, while others have greatness thrust upon them, had no premonition of the later ap- pearance on this terrestial sphere of the subject of our sketch. For Shackelford, b}- some peculiar twist of Fortune, has, during the short space of his life, gathered it from all three of these sources impartially. Na- turally we tremble at the task of writing up this favored child of the great God Good-Luck ' , but when Duty whispers low, etc .... so here goes. Shack is an editor, artist, business man, curler, baseball player, musician, prose writer, debater, and last but not least, a lover. These are only a few of his accom- plishments, but lest we make him blush we will stop here. Every one marvels at the amount of work he does: coming to ye ancient capitol three years ago, he made enough credits to land him in the Senior Class in two years. Still, he remains the life-giving spirit of man ' outside activities both in town and in college, and is always a happy addition to any crowd, no matter what the occasion or for what purpose as- sembled.

John Waller was wafted amongst us only last year, hailing from the University of X ' irginia primarily, and The Valley otherwisely. Having the privileges of a Junior and the fertile brain of a philoso- pher, he made the influence of his gentle presence very much felt from the very beginning, especially along literary lines. His enthusiasm is without top, bottom or sides, and at the end of any great athletic contest no brawn ' athlete is more weary than our little Johnny, although his partic- ipation in the contest has, of course, been purely psychological. John Waller is to Williamsburg as X ' ernon Castle is to the rest of the world, whicli is to sa that the town is wholly dependent upon His Nimble Grace for their knowledge of the many intricacies and gyrations of the terpsichorean art.

P. P. is a Senior of the first water, but so modest is he that only his intimate friends know his real worth as a man to be counted upon in any contingency. When Preston first made his appearance at William and Mary, most of us felt sorr for him because he would have to measure up to the mark set by his brother, Charles. Now, however, after a try-out lasting four years, we can all say that he made good — toed the mark — and even the great Charles must be proud of him. Preston has been acti e in literary society work and has been an excellent student, but the place where he has had the hardest time hiding his pow- ers is the gridiron, for he pla ed football and he always got his man.

For, thanks to the old men, none of us failed to be frequently reminded of our color, so common to pastures and foliage in the spring. At various times during the session of 1911-12 Clubs were formed, most of which have endured to the present time.

The elements, however, unavengeful of the manifold harm aimed toward them b - prophetic worms, seemed only to mock — and yet to welcome the occasion by lending a mood to the care-burdened prophet of the Class of ' 15. My clock registered the hour of midnight. By candle light I read, and smoked, and dreamed, while the storm raged, with electric punctuations, in the dark, and old Thor pounded on the Universe. At length I finished reading Poe ' s Pit and the Pendulum : I laid aside the volume and while my thoughts took flight beyond the storm. To a little home Ah, resumed my pipe, they carried me — to a little cottage that sat amongst maples on a Southern hill Thais, you do not love me longer, but anoth — . Crash! The storm god rebuked me and my train of thought was wrecked. Be not so selfish, prophet; mind your job! The shutters of my window swung to with terrific velocity, and the panes shattered, a gust of wind swallowing up the flame of my candle. Striking a match, I picked up my pipe from the floor, where it had been permitted to fall with all facility when the disturbance came. I puffed, puffed, puffed, while, the red glow rose and fell with the smoke-spiral. Silence, momentarily, when bang! went the shutter again. As an echo, the books on a neighboring shelf mumbled, rumbled, and sobbed. Dream or reality? The devil! I care not which. Fright seized me by the collar and shook me ; my hair stood on end ! I knoic that. As I peered through the darkness, a golden flame encircled a huge volume of Plutarch ' s Lives. My beloved book fell to the floor, and with jumping strides hobbled up to my chair. With nervous fingers I lifted my old friend to my knees, while a shrieking voice sang out: Open, Prophet. Read the future of your classmen. But, O thou weird Invisible, dost thou not know that a ' prophet is not without honor save in his own country ' ? ' es, but obe ! shrieked the Voice.

I sat in the first gallery of the Hippodrome. A million twinkling lights disclosed the greatest gathering of human souls I had ever seen. The face of everv man, woman, and child showed expectancy, while, with eyes riveted on the stage, they waited for the curtains to rise. The orchestral music begins, the curtain lifts, and amid the plaudits of his thousands of admirers, a tall, handsome, gold-crested man in operatic attire walks leisurely upon the stage. He bows — to the right, to the left, high, low, everywhere — and smiles. The audience becomes still — subdued, while that rich, melodious baritone voice rises and falls with whispering of love and peace, and the thunderings of cannon and the wailings of Wars cruel aftermath. Then a sadder strain, — sadder still, yet beautiful, — and the audience is brought to tears. Suddenly with ponderous tones, the singer brings back his hearers to reality. Bowing, he leaves the stage.

Skeletonized air craft rise to i. height of ten thousand feet, circling over the enemy. Bolts of whizzing, blinding light leap downward. Tremendous explosions rend the air, and in less than thirty minutes ' time, the entire fleet of dreadnoughts burns and sinks beneath the waves. Bony fingers snapped; and to my burning consternation the ' oice shrieked : Americans use the Home rapid- fire telescopic radio-nitric guns, carried and manned by the Emery Perpetufiyer, more com- monly called the Radionitrementuoscopic tri- plane.

Be- neath the massive dome we stand on talking stones, when doors swing, a flight of stairs fly past, and we look down upon the Senate Cham- ber. Earnestly pleads the orator. His voice trembles, but with the melody of a silver-keyed Fate changed the scenes, and the seventh red flame dropped. Before me appeared an enormous amphitheatre well crowded with cheering people, who watched a baseball game. It was the last of the World ' s Series, and a rubber between the Braves and Athletics was on. In the eighth inning the score is tied, while the latter nine have three men on bases, none out. The Manager of the Braves asks for time, and a dark horse pitcher scampers to the middle of the diamond. For a moment he pauses, looks the situation over, and concludes that if Homerun Martin ever hits the pill, defeat is therein spelled for the Braves. I watch this cool-headed twirler ai he delivers the sphere with quickness and accu- racy. A foul — strike two — strike three ! The Athletics fail to score! Hurrah!

Pale light number ten brought before my eyes the cold grey walls of Sing Sing. Rising majestically, solemnly skyward they stood in all their awe, while the moon looked down with icy pity. All is still, excepting the occas ional tramp-tramp of a guard making his intermittent round. Great shadows cling to the southside of the prison walls, where a noise is heard — a sound as of the rasp-p-p-rasp of a file pla ing upon an iron bar. Look! A rope drops from a third story window, and cautiouslv lowers to the ground. A figure slips through the bars and proceeds to slide slowly toward the rope ' s other end. A little fellow is the escaping convict, and a Dutchman. He is lost in the pre- ponderance of stripes that wave on the wind like an American flag minus stars. Almost to the ground, he starts to drop from the rope, when a shot rings out clear and responsive on the chill air. Back up that rope, y ' little shrimp, I heard the guard say. No more newspapers fer ' to make ropes av, nor a watch fer patent files. Hand over hand the bundle of stripes slowly re- ascended the invention of his ingenious mind, and disappeared in the shadows whence he had come. A gentle grafter, whispered Fate.

In single file these highly respectable animals march into the mission and take their seats. Curiously they fix their muddy eyes on the preacher as he contorts his face, waves a little hand, and prances, lamb-like, back and forth on the crude rostrum. For untold hours they hear this mortal discourse; when, finally, growing weary of their plight, they rise one by one to their feet. But the evanffelist keeps on. Such an evangelist ! Poor man !

Well, when the spell strikes him, he can show you a thing or two in that line; then he will lapse into a ila -dream — in which, rumor has it, seven female hearts unceasingly struggle for su- premacy. Surely, appearances are decei - ing. Pink is a haseha ll player, too, as everjone who has watched the Scrubs in action on Cary Field knows. Furthermore, if he ever for a moment lost that great, good-natured smile of his, we do not recall the time. riie Class prizes you as one of its mem- bers, Edwin Ralph, and will be watching that bright little head of yours as you climb the Ladder of Success. N.ATHAXiEL Hall Jennings Here we have another of those shrewd individuals that hoped to win the favor of the Facult b ' naming themselves after o ' le of them. This one succeeded, by the way, and from the first, starred at all classes e.xcept Y. M. C. A. Nat is from Toano, — often named as its pride, but this honor he stoutly disclaims. As he goes home to Toano each night, we are not able to know everything that this individualistic youth does in his native metropolis, but occasionally we catch a fleeting glimpse of his auto, as it whizzes past, and from the mass of lace and ribbon, we should judge that others appreciate our Nat as well as we do, — then we ' re with you in spirit, Nat, — can ' t ou take us in body sometimes? Zelma Talnlage Kyle Here we introduce the largest slice of humanity in our College, Z. T. Kyle. He is an old student here, and would with- out doubt have been listed among the Sen- iors this year, but for the fact that he saw fit to leave us last session, and impart some of his gathered learning to Young America. Curling is b all odds the fondest thing he ' s of, and it is hard sometimes to say whether he is learning or teaching Education IV. Anywa . b the determina- tion with which he goes after knowledge, it ' s quite evident that he means to be even a bigger man than he now is, which is say- ing considerable. 49 :C0L0 l lL-- TOiS ' S ECHO lOlO Charles Ashley Muxcaster ] Ionk did you say? That is what the boys call him for short, but there is noth- ing short about him. He is a man through and through. Monk hails from the blue grass regions of Kentucky, the land of pretty girls and fast horses, and has never lost that Kentucky keenness as an admirer of the fair sex. As a curler, he stands among the best, not only in the Junior class, but College as a whole. It ' s a safe bet that when a sound, level head is needed, Monk is a good man to call on. Stick to it, Monk old Chap! The Class of lb has confidence in you! Alfred Kerkley Pierce If there is any present-day truth in th e old adage that the meek shall partition the earth, we expect soon to see ' Peter ' Pierce sole owner and proprietor of Manhattan Island and suburbs, ' ou don ' t know he ' s around until the big test comes, but then you wake up to find him very much on hand. He started by curling in English V, anil we predict that he will end up next year by teasing a degree out of the Faculty entire. And it ' s better than an even bet that he will wear the same size hat then as lie did when he slipped, un- obtrusively, into the freshman class. Here ' s to you, Peter — smile for the ladies! John M. Pressox Long John would have belonged to the Class of ' 14 if he had not thought that some of the younger generation were not being well instructed, and taken it upon himself to teach the young ones how to shoot, study math., and become good Willliam and Mary men. We do not know how he fared in teaching the first two things mentioned, but we do know tliat he would be a mighty good in- structor in the last. The Class showed their appreciation of John ' s level head (even though it is beyond their field of vision ! ) by choosing him as a representa- tive on the Student Council, and whenever there ' s an athletic rally or a game sched- uled, you can always see his smiling face towering above the crowd. 50 C0L0 -il L ' igi5 ECHO Cii ARi.hs Ai.i;. . ni)i;r Scott Havi- i)u i-vi-r licartl him calk-il Charles or Ak ' xaiuler? It used to be Railroad Bill, but all of these titles have faded into insignificance beside the one of Skinny. Don ' t tiiink that he ' s the Dutchman from huiiana, for he ' s nothing; more than a by- product of the rich soils of Halifax — not the one in Nova Scotia — the other one. If you ' ve never seen but one side of him, iu.-.t look again, for he ' s an all-round man. An ardent supporter of the Phoenix, a lo al rooter at our athletic games, and an ex- cellent student, — Skinny goes smiling upon his way, ever ready for play or work. James Warrex Stephen ' s Jame; came to us three years ago from the hanks of the Rappahannock, bringing with him an exceptional ability for writ- ing short stories. Since he has been here he has divided his time between curling and developing his imagination, and as a result of the latter, the contents of the Literary Magazine are increased ever and anon by one of his productions. His sto- ries are in such demand, however that the Editor of the Magazine considers himself very fortunate when he secures one. The Registrar ' s books show the effect J. W. has upon the Professors, and his marks are the en v of more than one due. Keep up our good work, Jim; the class expects big things from ou next ear. H. Wilson Thorpe Ours truly, as he is universalh called, is quite a well-known member of the next year Class. He made the unpardonable blunder of attending Richmond College one year, which somewhat shocked our sen- sibilities, but, in spite of this, his many ex- cellent qualities are gradually winning for him general popularity. He is an ardent devotee of dancing and spooning, and claims to be able to ilo both with greater solemnity than any other mortal — and a casual glance into Villiamsburg ' s What Dili He Come For? will bear out his as- sertion. As a real frienil, — sincere, patient, and faithful, — ' ours TruK cannot be sur- passed. 51 :C0L0AimL-- lai5 ECHO Edward Brext Wells A grace for dancing, a dash of rose water, an ability to make the girls crazy about him, a determination not to let the comon herd know him, a pair of tan shoes, and a little bundle of loveliness made into the opposite sex are a few of the posses- sions which make Brent one of the most in- dividualistic of all our individuals. He has succeeded in everything that he has un- dertaken here, from learning the Maxixe to setting the style in collars, and it is rumored that at times verses flow from his pen. Those who know him best say: It is not Brent who losses by his not being more appreciated, but mankind. Who knows? Who knows? H.ARVEY P.AGE WiLLLAMS This is the Whistling man from Pea- cock Hill. When all his tasks are o ' er, he comes forth from his room to open up a box of whistles, letting out the latest melo- dies in order to rest the fatigued brain of one prof in his hot pursuit of the as used by the Angles. But he is famous for much more. On the diamond and in drib- bling the pneumatic sphere he ' pegs ' and ' shoots ' with telling accuracy, being a good ' scrub ' for each. He is also a genius in ' Curling Profs ' , for great addition of nu- merals is required when a sum of his A ' s ' is desired. Much more could be said for Reddie , but we shall say the rest when he becomes a member of the cap and gown procession next year. BiTTLE WlXFRED WoODS The next view that meets our eyes is a Woods, one of a peculiar type, not consist- mg of trees, but yea, verily, sprouting math, biology, and physics, and since we ha e known it, two feet of trousers. For three years Blackie has been a hard and consistent worker on the football squad, :uid his ability as a long distance runner has given him a berth on the track team. Taking him root and all, and all in all, B. W. is a good student who is interested in all college activities, and bids fair to do honor to the class of ' ib. 52 [::coLOA l 1L- • ' gIg E c h o Wii.hi:rt TuckI ' R Woodson Old Olson is said to possess tin- lofti- est intellect in the Class of 1916, and as he is six feet three, there may be some truth in the saying. He has repeatedly declarcil that he was built for comfort rather than speed, which, however true it may be of his body, is wholly misleading in regard to his mind. Old Olson keeps so plagucdly quiet about himself that it is hard to find out anything on him, al- though when Dr. Hall lost a rooster and two hens the same night that Wilbert Tucker came home at two A. M. with his clothes full of feathers and his belt at the very last notch, we thought considerable. Never mind, Woodson, there ' s more to that kind of chlrkfus than the other kind anyway, and we know it wasn ' t so, just like you told us. (jEORGE Basker ii.le Zehmer We doubt if Bakerville is his real middle name, but probably only an ingen- ious attempt on his part to boost himself through his English courses. At any rate, whether this helped or not, he got through them with remarkable ease — or was it E ' s? Zehmer has been described as a combi- nation of a star at basketball, a good base- ball player, a would-be football player, and an attempt at curling . To this we might add that he is also an active partici- pant in everything our Alma Mater under- takes, and a man that next vear, as a Sen- ior, will be some pumpkins in a great many ways. Luck to you, Zehmer! Show ' em something! William P ' arl Ziox The all-around athleticism of this sturdy son of the soil causes him to have little need for any clothes, save the uni- forms furnished gratis by the Athletic As- sociation. He merely changes from foot- ball to basketball, and basketball to base- ball, as the vear goes around. The men who room beneath his apartment declare that he is quite as good at clog dancing as at the other sports — yet, in between these activities he makes classes also. So here ' s to vovL Zion, — we envy you that ninetv horse-power phvsique of yours. Keep it working for Old William and Marv! 53 54 ■-J 56 [COLOn MC W S ' ECHO (iliO. . Hc)OTI[ I ' aui. N. Derring W.

It is necessary that you view it in brief, however, for to chronicle entire happenings of our Class would be in itself, an Herculean task, and besides, the editor has limited our history to a single page. By no means, gentle reader, imagine that it is from lack of material that the Sophomore Class history is restricted to this brief space, but — well, editors have their whims! When the session of 1913-14 opened, the Freshman Class was one of the largest, and, from the Freshman ' s viewpoint, one of the best in the history of the College. With out initial year behind us, we returned for our Sophomore 5 ' ear with a great deal of experience, and some little knowledge, derived from our terms as dues. And so, imbued with love of Alma Mater and of Class, we felt fully qualified to start upon the second lap of our course towards the coveted Degree. In practically every phase of college life and activities the Sophomore Class is represented. To the athletics of the college the Class of ' 17 has given more than its full quota, in football alone furnisliing six men besides Captain Bertschey — Wallace, Gayle, Stone, Page, Wyatt, and Rothwell winning monograms. In basket- ball we again find Bertschey the captain, while Gayle at Center, Wyatt, at Guard, and Rothwell at Forward. Newton, Rothwell, and Garnett, all members of the 1914 Championship Team, hold up our end of the baseball honors, and perhaps we may have others among the candidates when the call for spring practice sounds. This is but one side of our ability, however. You see that Wyatt, Shands, and Deering have been chosen for the Annual Staff. In the Literary Societies, Sophomores are seen on all sides, and Newton and Grimsley are on the Staff of the Flat Hat. On almost any Tuesday night, the visitor to the Y. M. C. A. hall may behold several Sophs among those present, whether attached or unattached to offices in the Association. As to class work and recitations, we have again been fortunate, for not a man of the Sophomores but passed in his midterm examinations in good style, and we are al- ready started on the work of the second term: if you are looking for high-markers, consult the records of Shands, Page, Mitchell, or numerous others of the Class. Just a word in parting. The activities of the Class of 191 7 during tiieir stay here have been duly set forth as seen by the historian, and in truth it is a brilliant record that the Sophomore Class has made during this part of their journey. But in the years to come, and the days when College has been left behind and the sterner realities of life taken up, you may rest assured that the record of the Sophomore Class of ' 17 will still be untarnished and even more brilliant than its record up to the present has been.

' cst Hock of cIir-s of the season was liatelieil at William ami .Mar about the iiiiilcile of September, 1914. For some time the bad ilieamed dreams of the venerable school, but when they broke tbrouijh the yellow shell at the station of ViIliamsburL:, the saw xisions that had never found a place in their dreams. And it came to pass on tlie 17th of September that a call was given for the dues to assemble in the chapel, and there those in authority gave instructions concerning the career which was dawning upon the flock. The course having been mapped out, the dues set themseh-es diligently to learn w hat was contained in the books of knowledge, and lo! they did work faithfull . — but after work comes play. And it came to pass that Dr. Draper stood and cried with his voice, and said, Come, ye men who have grit mingled with your protoplasm, and light upon the Grid- iron in Cary Field, to which many dues responded; and when the football season closed, five stood and stretched forth their hands and received, each, a monogram. But the great men of the faculty looked down upon the oung Hock and gave instructions concerning things which would take place the last of January, and im- plored them to spend much time with their books; and the hearts of the dues were filled with fear, because of the Examinations. Motes the were to trouble the mind. When all these things had been fulfilled, play again was mingled with work, and moved contemporaneously therewith, and in basketball and baseball were found dues worthy of distinction, with promises of greater things to come. We are not in this grade Sic sfinper manerc. but to the glorious day when the faculty shall pronounce the flock no longer dues, but Sophs we are speedily ad- vancing. The satisfactions of the Class are many, but the time has come when we have had a sufficient amount of its enjoyment, and are glad to depart, contented with our share of the feast. We are all glad indeed that we entered the class, and we have the satisfaction of thinking that we have belonged to the best Freshman Class our College has ever had. However, we consider this grade as a place which nature ne cr intended for our permanent abode, and we depart from it, not wholh without regret, but rejoicing in the belief that we are simph leaving what is gooil for fomethini: better.

(£alnu ar MONCi till ' man pluisfs of cullciic activities, the 1 ounj: Men ' s Cliristian Association occupies a proiiiinent and unique place. It is tlie embodi- ment of all ourhful acti ities and associations, and the Christian spirit that it fosters lends a rich tone of fraternal fellowship to all the life of the campus. If for no other reason, we should cherish the Y. M. C. A. because within its halls all lines of difference in position and rank are wiped out. There, College and Academ -, Freshman and Senior, Kacult aiul Stu- dents, — all stand on a common plane, encircled by the strongest ties of friendship and love. It is this part of college life that gives the student the true picture of so many beautiful lives about him. Then, how often do these influences find their wa - into the hearts of others, where the germ of love, nurtured by purity, flourishes and produces men who measure the worth of their lives in terms of ser ' ice. The program of the ear began promptly — and it is unnecessary to say that it began with marked enthusiasm when it is known that Clarence Jennings was presi- dent. The first event of the season was the annual reception, that served both to christen our handsome new dining hall, and to bring the entire student-body and facultv together for a social evening. Short atldresses. appropriate to the occasion, were delivered by President Tyler, Dr. Vihon, and Mr. Lee, Student Secretary of . M. C. A. work in Virginia. When the application cards for membership were passed around, the were signed readily, and many were enrolled. The administration again followed the splendid custom of past years in present- ing a series of lectures on life work. There is no doubt that these lectures do a great deal in helping the thoughtful young man to arrive at a definite conclusion as to what he is best fitted to do as his life work. May this custom be continued b - succeeding administrations. Mr. Bunnts, the Secretary of The Inter-collegiate Prohibition Association, has been successful in organizing a large class in the study of the liquor problem. It is hoped that out of this class will come men who are thoroughly convinced in the light of reason and actual knowledge that the liquor traffic is a menace to our land ; and. what is more, that the - will be determined to fight it until our countr - is freed from the curse. The Bible and Misison study classes have been re ised, and new interest mani- fested in these departments of the work. It has been the hope of the committee to make these classes more popular, so that a large number of students might enjoy the benefits and broad iews derived from them. At the request and invitation of the association. Dr. Wilson repeated his series of lectures on the negro problem which he delivered several years ago. These lectures were attended by large numbers, and greatly enjoyed. His aim was to stimulate the thoughts of college men, that they may make some effort ot solve this tremendous question as it now confronts us.

' Ihere wiiulil he a crovvd ut the h() s in from the couiitr) , for it was the ila of all days in the little mountain town. At the court-house, the zenial Clerk had a hlazing lire in his office, for the cool, chilly winds made it ton uncomfortable without one. and, besides, the slow, drizzlint; rain made it still more welcome to those who h.-id ridden in from the distant neighborhood. The Clerk was bus with some writ- in:: that he wished finished before the crowd ' rew too large. If he was aware that the door had cautiously opened, admitting a man ' s head, he did not look around. Slowly, timidly, the visitor pulled himself into the room, closeil the door, and sat down. He warmed his big, red hands and his boot-shod feet; then, watching closely the head bent o er the desk, he coughed, shuifled about, and at last stood up, turning his back to the fire. Big, long-limbed, muscular, with drooping shoulders, he stood. A hat, with sagging brim, rested on one side of a shaggy head, above a face singularly guileless, and a gum coat, muddy halfwax up, hung nearly to his heels. Mister. at last came the interrupting voice, be you the Clerk of this here courthouse? Yes — without glancing from his writing. The steam from the gum coat was slowly rising and filling the room with its odor. The Clerk became conscious of this, and looking that way with a warning Stand back there, met the look in the isitor ' s eyes. I want to talk to ye a minute, please, sir, the fellow hastened to say, jerking his thumb confidentially toward the door. Why, certainly, certainly, was the reassuring answer, and the Clerk followed :he stranger out into the hall and down its cold, bare length to a well-darkened .orner under the stairs. There they faced each other, and the big fellow- was forced again to break the silence. What do e charge for a pair o ' license ' ? License for wliat? asked the obliging Clerk. To git married. One dollar. 121 [COLOn MC ' ' WMS ' ECHO I — I ' ll take a pair, running his hand down to the bottom of his breeches pocicet. But there were more questions to be answered. What ' s your name, friend? Steve Coleman. How old are you? Thirty-six years. Who is it you are going to marry? Lizzie Pruitt. And how old is she? Eighteen past. Did you bring a written statement from her father permitting the marriage? Steve Coleman looked bewildered for a moment, then, as if suddenly relieved, replied : She ain ' t got no father. He ' d dead. Well, from the mother, then? Mother ' s dead, too. Has she a guardian? No, she ain ' t got no gjardeen, and his honest eyes betrayed his anxietv. Well, my friend, I ' m sorry, but I can ' t give you a license to marry a woman under the age without legal authority to do so. But I ' ll tell you what to do. Court is in session. ou go up to the court room and ask Judge Hudson to appoint a guardian for Lizzie Pruitt. Then get him to meet us here when I come back from dinner — looking at his watch — and I ' ll fix you up all right. He returned to his office for his hat and overcoat, and as he hurried through the front door he glanced down the hall and saw the big fellow standing at the foot of the stairs, looking upward, with perplexity written on his face. An hour later, the Clerk sat again at his desk, writing. Again the door opened slowly, letting in first the head, then the gum-coated figure of the countryman, who walked over to the fire and sat down. After waiting only a few minutes, however, he began: You ' re the same clerk, all right, ain ' t ye? Yes, rising at once and coming forward. I want to see ye, and again they passed through the door and down the hall to the corner beneath the stairs. Say, Mister, looking down at his boots, I don ' t know nothin ' about this gyardeen business, but I low I ' ve got it figgered out all right. ou make out them 122 C0L0 l qL ' ' ' rai5 ECHO license for me tn m;in Sallie llaiikins. .M folks is dead sot on her. anyhow, an ' she ' s t ent -ei.i;ht. Throuiih the mud, deep and heavy, rode Steve Coleman, the precious paper in liis breast pocket — past biy;, wliite farmhouses in the midst of clean, blue-grass fields, back and up to his own little honu- in the sliadow of the mountains. Sallie heard him pass, iotiL; after dark. From friend!) interest, she had known of his moti e in riding; out to town tiiat day, and ma ha e waiteil, awake, for iiis re- turn ; but when the sound if his iiorse ' s feet had dieii awa . she cahtil went to sleep. And Steve, reaching home, took his saddle and bridle off the horse, leaving it to graze at will, and creaked up the steps to his bed in the loft. Dead tired, he sank down on the bed to draw off iiis muddy boots. But his thoughts were disturbing, and he sat clasping his boot, muttering: Pore Liz! Pore little gal! It ' s gwine to be hard on her. an ' maybe the rest ' U laugh at !ier. Dinged if she ain ' t the best looker of ' em all! Wish I — oh, pshaw! What ' s the use? But if that Circuit Rider wuzn ' t due to-morrer, I ' d take them license back to town an ' do somethin ' . W ell, rousing up and pulling at the boots, I ' ve got to go to bed so ' s I can git up soon an ' straighten things out ' fore the preacher comes. Reckon I better go tell Sallie first, so ' s she can be gettin ' ready. With a deep sigh he stretched his frame on the bed. Hit ' s been a ' awful hard day. I ' m tireder ' n if I ' d ' a plowed. Dinged if I don ' t hate to tackle Liz! Wonder how she ' ll take it when 1 tell her I ' m goin ' to marry Sallie instid o ' her. Then he fell into the deep sleep of his kind. At daybreak he was up, tended the stock, brought in the day ' s supph of wood, and, after eating his breakfast liastily, was off down the road that lie had traveled the night before. Fortune favored Steve, for once. Out in the barnyard, close to the rail fence, Sallie was milking the cow. He drew near, looked over the fence, and waited, for this silence was tlie hardest yet to break. But it had to be done. Say, Sallie, I ain ' t gwine to What! cried startled Sallie, and the cow moved off. Saw, there! Saw! cried Steve from his side of the fence, and when the milk- ing was resumed he moved along to the next stake and was peering o er. rigiit abo e Sallie, when she looked up shyly. Watcher say, Steve? I said I ain ' t g vine to marr Liz to-day — nor no time. Watclier mean? Wiiat ' U she ilew, e reckon? 123 ' COLOMI IL - ' TBlS ECHO We don ' t keer — much — dew we, Sallie, gal? What I got to dew with it, Steve Coleman? flared Sallie. A right smart, he spoke up holdl} , bein ' s it ' s you 1 want. Ye ' re willin ' , ain ' t ye? A long pause. Say, Sallie, ain ' t ye? Aw, go off. I ain ' t no fool, Steve. But I want e to marry me, Sallie. I ' ve liked ye all the time. It wuz them sassy black eyes o ' hern made a plumb fool o ' me. Say, Sallie, you be ready to go with me to the schoolhouse by the time the Circuit Rider gits there, just before meetin ' , can ' t ye? Let ' s prize ' em all, watcher say? We can ' t git married ' thout no license, though, Steve, and Sallie ' s voice trembled as she spoke. I ' ve got them papers right here — slapping his breast — an ' I had ' em writ to marry. O Steve, did you? Sallie suddenly stood up and stared Steve in the face. Swear to Gawd! he answered solemnly. Then I iv ' ill! She said it with such force that the cow started again, and this time the going was unheeded, for the thrifty Sallie was nearly to the house, with the bucket only half full of milk. Steve watched her disappear, then took his arms off the fence, shook himself, and turned into the road, walking briskly back, past his own home, and on up the moun- tain side, where Lizzie and one small brother lived with an aunt. The ascent was rather steep, the task rather a ticklish one, and once Steve stopped, weak kneed, muttering: I ' ll jist not tell her a-tal. I don ' t hafter. Then a bashful shame came over his face. No, she shan ' t come to meetin ' , not knowin ' , an ' see it. Poor little Liz! Dang it ! I got to tell her. And he went on slowly until he reached the fence just below the house. There he rested, hoping that Lizzie had been watching and would come out to meet him. But she did not come, and the thought of her being in there getting ready made him perspire. It was of no use waiting; he was, somehow, not rested in the least. So when the little boy appeared in the yard Steve called him to the fence. Sonny, you run in tliere and tell Liz to step out here jist a minute. Tell her hit ' s me ' at wants her, and he winked shyly at the boy. No, I won ' t do it, neither, drawled the cliild, ' cause she ' s gone; done run off with Lem las ' night while me an ' Aunt Jinn ' wuz sleepin ' . And, answering the look that csanie into the man ' s eyes, he added, with slow earnestness: Swear to Gawd she did ! . M. Gririislry. IJ 124 r g j COLOMI IL s 5S5l ECHO ( frmau (Elub Lewis Jones Jno.

Of course we know that Massey don ' t shine no large amount in History, but he can get AA now and then. Of course we don ' t get no Delmonico dishes in the Dining Hall, but then we do have the bill-of-fare on the table cloth. Of course John Smith isn ' t no great deal of Chef, but he does know how to scramble raw eggs. Of course we ourselves don ' t want to knock John Smith, but we will let the egg- nog him. Of course Dr. Hall don ' t spring no great deal of funny jokes, but we do have to snicker now and then (mostly then.) Of course our Football Team did not win no large number of Championship Cups last Fall, but we did lose to Richmond College. Of course Physics is not so hard after you have had Calculus, Mechanics, etc., but then we don ' t give no Ph. D. courses in Math, at William and Mary. Of course Holler is not no great deal afraid of ghosts, but he will look under his bed every night. Of course Somers don ' t shine no large amount in the maxixe, but then he ' s a regular arc-light when it comes to the one-step. Of course John Tyler ' s shoe don ' t cover no acre of ground, but then it isn ' t what you would call petite either. Of course our Basketball Team are not no regular chicken-snatchers, but then they will throw a few fouls when they get a chance. Of course it will, for the Seniors, be a big job to get B ' s, but then they will be able to make all exams with E ' s. Of course at Commencement we don ' t commence no college course, but then we do commence the coarse course of life. Curses!! Of course we could expound this brand of philosoph ru infiiii u ii . but tlien we don ' t have no desire for no dose of hemlock — of course not. 156 C0L0MI qL-- Tgl5- E C H O Araiipmji i istnni Four years ago William and Mary Academy and William and Mary College became separate institution s, using, it is true, the same grounds and buildings, but having distinct faculties, athletics and societies. The wisdom of the separation has been more apparent each day, for it gave the Academy men activities of their own, in which they were free from the competition of older men. Thus each institution deals with other institutions in its own class, and participation in these activities is far more general than it could ever have been under the old system. During the past four years, the Academy has carried out a program quite as elaborate as that of the College, and the record is one of which we are proud. Our football record for the past year is unique: the beginning of the session found us with only one veteran on hand, and yet, through the skillful training of Coach Hubbard, our green eleven was quickly transformed into a creditable football machine. Its showing has encouraged us greatly in regard to next year ' s prospects. Basketball has always had a large following here, and this last season was no exception, many spirited and close games taking place. We have every reason to believe that our baseball team this spring will equal that of any institution of our rank, as it nearly always has. But it is not only in physical encounters that we ha e conquered other schools. A debating team was organized in the Jefferson Literary Society last spring. This team met the team from Maury High School and won unanimously. The Society is in a flourishing state, interest remains high, and it hopes to maintain, if not surpass, the reputation established during the first two years of its existence. The past, fellow-students, however glorious or inglorious, is gone. It has but one value: to encourage us with its successes and to warn us b its failures. Let us not allow our eyes to dwell two long upon it, but seizing the present opportunity, strive to raise the banner of our Alma Mater to the heights where it belongs.

How can the history of all of these be so briefly told as is required? It is not too much to sa - that our class is The Class of the Academy, containing, as it does. Tucker, Taylor, Garland, Tuck, Wilson, Taliaferro, and others of football fame ; aI?o having as one of its members the captain of both the basketball and baseball teams, this being one and the same person, Spencer. We have brains as well as brawn in our make-up, too, for Taylor is president of the Jefferson Literary Society, and such debaters as Tuck and Baker we are able to boast. As curlers, those that simply twist off the posterior plumage of that elusive bird, the Faculty, are Taylor, Spencer, Williams, and Ellis. These are mere suggestions of what the Class is doing; mo:t of us hope to be in the College next September, there to start all over again. We feel that we are fortunate in being permitteil to continue in practically the same institution as hereto- fore, — to spend four more years under the magic spell of the same ivy-clad walls, on the same old historic Campus, over which there breathes the sacred traditions of our nation ' s infancy. Surely, every member of the Class feels these same emotions, and could not, if he would, forget the days spent here. Let us always cherish particularly the memory of the Academy Class of 1915.
