CHARLES COPPAGE Ftelentlessly agrarian in taste and manners, Charlie bustles about in his red DeMolay blazer, intent on mys- terious errands of his own. Ever cheerful, ever con- cerned for and with the antics of his fellow man, he has emerged as a self-appointed ambassador to the opposite sex and as a raconteur of graphic humor. Allowing no impediment to deter him from having his say, he de- mands to be heard for his staunchly conservative and patriotic causes, and he has shown himself to be worth listening to. BUDDY CRINER Add an Aw raight and a little mock incredulity to a sensitive -young man and you might end up with a top banana like Mr. Criner. Our urbane representative of Texas Across the River is always searching for another Chesterfield. His interest in reform has produced his fa- vorite political maxim: Stamp our poverty-stamp out the poor. Because of the keen mind that lives under his flaxen thatch, Buddy often manages to end a good bull session with a few well-placed truths, yet our amiable Senor listens to all sides, and his reassuring advice mirrors the quiet confidence of his character. PETE DANDBIDGE Although he has grown several inches, Pete has retained the deceptively fragile and innocuous appear- ance of his first year. Physically unscathed by the assaults of small gorillas on the mat or big ones on the lacrosse field, he can slash more deeply with one sarcas- tic Yeahl than lesser wits with a thesaurus of insults. He has sought neither to gain popularity nor to raise an- tagonisms, but has shown equal sincerity in his likes and dislikes. Whether wrestling with Latin or discussing the student body over an empty wastebasket, Pete remains a model of complete candor.

DABN EY CARR I With a typically wry smile and a wink on his bemused face, our Roanoke aristocrat calmly watches as another LUCIUS CLAY Wildman Tink, masked avenger of the silent study hall, sports an outlook totally unlike that of anyone else. He is an intellectual war-lover and an admirer of the great captains, and tries to organize his life with appropriate military precisiong however, his lively imagination is con- stantly distracting him into wilder and wilder adventures and antics, especially during the prescribed hours for serious toil. The future almost certainly holds a vehicle of powerfor him, but no one can predict whether it will be a staff car or a Batmobile. of his listeners falls victim to his humor. Always eager for a laugh, Dabney nevertheless shows a deep concern for the feelings of others. Happiest when enthroned near his titanic golden gasser stack, the range of J.D. the D.J.'s conversation is as rich and varied as his refined connoisseur's tastes. With the knowing assurance of his venerable ancestors, Dabney's place in his tribal dynasty is assured. STEVE CLEMENT Why are you losing your hair? Worry. What are you worried about? Losin' m'hair. That's Steve, the laconically humorous chief postal clerk. ..-,.s.,,iW..,tsvis,s,-tail..,si.i,st,all.ii,.il.iilim ,.., vf--'7 A7,,m.fw,,i.,..ix:.urtw I' fwamsnmuuuaxuuuxu If E.H.S. were a penitentiary iAll rightlj, he'd be a trusty, if it were a republic he'd be a Senatorg he is the kind of person who seems automatically to be trusted with responsibility, by superiors or equals. Efficient as he is in his many duties, Steve is just as effective in pursuit of a good time. ln short, our red-headed Dan-town patriot is one of those rare souls who can both run with the hares and hunt with the hounds. 24

COLIN EAGLES DICK DULANEY An effortless genius, master of academic success without labor, throughout his high-listed years Dick has been known as a quiet intellectual. His friendliness and sense of humor, although hidden under a layer of re- serve, have, when uncovered, won him close friends. Although he appears so indolent with regard to his own academic pursuits, Dick shows more diligence when he is involved in such group endeavors as soccer and literary societies. Here the dynamic roll of his elliptical shape has managed ingeniously to keep various circles from becoming lopsided. ROWAN DOUGHERTY What could be more exciting than a bull in a chinal shop? How about a wild horse on a crowded dance floor? Our talented Tennessee Walker, with his strange interjections, has become relied on to enliven dances, meetings, and practices. Rowan, with his masterful impersonations and gallops around campus, appears to be a completely spontaneous child of nature, but we have also seen the fascinating, sophis- ticated lNir. Dougherty, devotee of the fine arts- including classical music and painting. He has the refined tastes of the gentleman that he is. Without much help from the English Department, Colin has mastered the art of poetic license. Even though his stories are hard to believe, Colle-Q's bawdy sense of humor and ability to entertain anyone have put him on many mailing lists. Colin's interior decorating talent is only surpassed by his talent for flabbergasting, which reached a pinnacle when he was on a physical fitness kick. Without a doubt, Colin has made a deep impression upon the minds of the faculty and students, and, with a little more effort, should be able to make some of his stories come true. 26
