I947 WHISPERS Q GRADUA TEX CORNELIUS AFBERNATHY CRAIG. II Neil's prowess in public speaking contests is great. Aside from the fact that he raked in two medals at the expense of the F.L.S. for his ex- cellent reading. this year he shrieked out with old Pat l-lenry's famous address so well that he won the school declaiming contest. In summing Neiley up, we can say he is rather quiet. inclined to the literary. and extremely fond of the opposite sex Cwho isn't?D. Vkfe can see you on a college campus now, Neil.

That he sends scores of Pairlington lassies into Hts of rapture at the bare mention of his name is doubted by no one. Athletically. speaking. Red may be classined as slow. but tricky. Basketball and tennis seem to be the two varsity recipients of his talents. He's the praised and exhalted cap'n of tennis.

I947 WHISPERS Q CRADUA TEX XVINGFIELD GRIFFIN BUR'NETT Griff believes in standing up for that in which he believes, And he's not particular with whom he has to cross up to do this. Thus. he has won our admiration as a strong character. In three years he has accumulated five varsity letters in such varied sports as football, basketball. and tennis. Griff is a very popular fellow and a go-getter. Come next autumn, Princeton will be the proud possessor of one Griff Burnett, whom we shall miss a great deal.

SAMUEL JAMES CALVERT, JR. Sam is appreciated because he is not the type who is constantly babbling away about nothing, or as the immortal bard would have it. full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. In every institution there are certain persons who work erratically and others who work steadily. The persons of the latter category usually get there before those of the former. Sam is of the second. Consequently, don't be surprised if, after finals. you see him lavishing caresses upon a document which is all rolled up. Parting is such sweet sorrow. isn't it, Sam? Goodbye!

l947 WHISPERS Q CRADUA TEX WILLIAM FLETCHER FAIREY It is truly a wondrous thing when a boy leaves this wonderful institution with the coveted sheep- skin after two brief years. It is even more re- markable when this student hails from South Carolina. Nevertheless, Bill has accomplished this feat with more than average success. On the field he has shown more determination than most of us could hope for. As we think of your departure we also think the old -thought that, it is the small worker and not the ruler that makes our temples great. Second Year Orangeburg, S. C. Varsity Football Squad. Winter Track. Varsity Track, Missionary Society. F. L. S. EDWARD STITT FLEMING Ed has been on the Hill here for quite some time, four years now. In this time he seems to have tried a good many and varied activities. Probably the greatest of these was his effort to graduate this year. Though some of the other of his ventures have not been overly successful he has done himself proud in this respect. In Ed, we find a boy who seems not too much in the limelight, but rather confines himself to a small group of faithful friends. Adieu: thy friends will remember thee as thou art. a faithful friend and true. Fourth Year Washington, D. C. Centennial Basketball, Fall Track, Fencing. F.L.S, i241
