AS I EXPECTED

Page 24 text:

Charles Robertson or “Bobby” is among the football stars. He is the only oiTe of the class that is really a new comer. He entered school last year as a senior but was so very much pleased with our college that he came back to be a member of this class. As Bobby is not very rushed with school work he is carrying several “specialties” the most important of these being dancing and art. Every one knows that he just likes to “piddle” around but no one, not even his teachers, seem to object. Melvin Prentice has distinguished himself in more ways than one. Name- ly; as a football star; as a member of the college quartette; and as a “ladies’ man”. I have noticed that he has often exclaimed, “Give me more brains and less good looks!” We really would’lit class him as a “heart smasher “because the girls from year to year have heard that it is just Melvin’s way and have learned not to take him too seriously.” Melvin has a peculiar kind of perseverance when it comes to passing a college course. He has a special liking for English I and Girls. It is hard to determine which of these courses appeal to him the more as he has pursued each of them several years. Henry Oxford Alias “Ghaunt” has for seven long years been the Turn- ersville representative to Daniel Baker. You may be surprised when I tell you that the records of the college prove him to be the most heartless mem- ber of the senior class. It is a well known fact that, he lost his heart more than two years ago. Melvin had better be careful or he’ll lose a $1000.00 bet to Henry. For a long time Henry has been fond of taking drives through the country, especially between Elkins and Bangs, believing that more is to be gained by the drive than from attendance of an Economics class on Satur- day afternoon. Henry has been a valuable contributor to our college paper and served as edilor-in-chief in past years. He has the honor of being the president of our class. “Pike” Wilkinson, formerly known as Noel, has during the last three years won a reputation on the gridiron and the diamond. Pike does’nt talk very much but goes quietly about his own business. All the girls seem to admire him from a distance as he usually doesn’t allow them to approach very near. His record, very unlike that of most college boys, is free from any ac- counts of love affairs. He seems to have put aside such trivial matters even before his entrance at college and has grown to be very serious minded. Malcolm McCullough, whom we all know as “Little Me.” may be said to be the least in stature but not in brains. No one has ever had any trouble in finding him at school as he spends everyday, and we are inclined to believe, many of the nights in the laboratory. He is preparing to be a doctor and is getting real good practice this year in diagnosing the cases of his class mates. Indeed, he has rendered such excellent service that he has acquired a new title, the “Dear Doctor”. It is really surprising that he has never joined the C. B. C. Club as he seems interested in the “Walks” of the Campus. Very fortunately I have the advantage of my class mates and I am not going to tell you about my own history. If any of you are curious you may search the annals for yourselves. With joy we have looked to the crowning day When in honor we stand with our dear B. A. However, this band of nine plus one Will never forget D. B’s days of fun. Maude Cook, Historian, ’17.
