John Chick, the tall lad from up where they make automob1les, knows his mght life, his General Motors, his military and his Math. I-Ie is at home in the water, although he may prefer another element. He is popular at the college across the way. VVe won't venture to predict where he will be twenty years from now, but it will be some place worth while. CARROLL COLEMAN Huntington, VV.

Chili has been here a year and a half and has made his letter in three sports. As a pitcher, he really comes into his own. He never bragsg he never alibis. Chili is conscientious, a good sport, a true friend. WILLIAM G. COOK Busbkill, Pa. Mililary: Private, Band, 1930-32: Sergeant, Band, 1932-33g First Sergeant, Band, 1932-33. .

Grube comes from the big City of Bushkill. Nobody ever heard of the village before, but everyone knows about it now. Grube talks about it all the time. He has so many nicknames he can't keep track of them all. A few are: joe, Bill, Bike, Best VVishes. VVhen anyone needs help or wants to borrow anything, he looks up Grube. VVe don't know whether or' not the people of Bushkill have the same peculiar walk Grube has, but there isn't anybody in the school who can offer any serious competition. He acts the part of the tough top kick' in the Band. He really isn't so tough. He carries one of the big bass horns around on his shoulder from' EDVVIN S. CRAVVFORD Huntington, W. Va.

He hangs his hat in Huntington, where all the cows and chickens-especially the chickens--come to the train every time he comes home. Like these other First City of W. Va. boys, he seems to be proud of it. GEORGE LEE DILLARD Bluefield, VV. Va. Itlilitnry: Private, Company C, 193 1-325 Corporal, Company C, 1932-33.

George is a proud son of Bluefield. He is never in study hall, but he studies a large part of the time, as his grades will testify. George is a great fisherman. He tells us a bunch of names of fishes and books and thingsg maybe he's right-we don't know the difference. He might be kidding us. He plays Colonel football, and claims he plays guard. He is on the rilie team, is Assistant Sports Editor of this yearbook, and has worked up from a corporalship to a sergeantship Qpardon us, Navyj. This fine friend has also been honored by being elected to the Student Council. s September till June. -s2f13 fa-

Herbert M., better known to his inti- mates as Paper Boots, is a jolly good fellow and a darned good judge of how to answer dithcult questions in class. Some- times he gets stuck for talking while the instructors are instructing, but often enough his ready wit and frank smile Save him the ignominy of having to answer Correct, Sir. Canter is a good officer, too. JACK E. CHAMPION Fort Smith, Ark.

We're referring to his well-known smile. Champ would make a fine roommate if it were not for his Apache Indian inclinations, which lead him to bite people, to throw pillows, to toss pitchers and to heave telephones when- ever he goes on football trips. Once an Irishman leaned idly against the bar in Ethridge's Post Exchange. His breath hisses in and out like the escaping steam from a kettle. A lock of hair hung down over his forehead beneath his Tam O' Shanter. An old brier pipe completed the picture. And the Irishman talked in a loud voice about a small town in Arkan- sas that the natives call Fort Smith. A certain traveler, Marco Polo Bruno, claims that there actually is such a state in the middle west, though few people have actually seen it. However, we will be honest: If it holds many like Champ, we would like to go there.

Joe Ellis left before Commencement, much to our sorrow, and didn't leave a write-up of his senior honors. However, we can tell you that this Virginian was an outstanding football player. Everyone who ever heard of Greenbrier's 1932 foot- ball team knows that. VVhat he did to opposing defensive players was something to write to the papers about, which is just what was done. He hails from the town where Sherwood Anderson, one of America's premier writers, is editing a couple of newspapers. Maybe Joe will end up as a novelist-or a character in a novel.

Fitz can take it, but usually he gives it. We are referring especially to his work in the well-known squared circle. Although he wasn't here to have his picture taken with the boxers, he deserves to have it there, and we take this opportunity to say so. Fitz is a charter member of the New Joiseyn Club, as he hails from that section where they eat toikey. He is one of those good-natured Irisl1men, fun-lov- ing, with plenty of ability and a darned good wallop to use for anything, whether it be in boxing, studies, football, basket ball or social activities.

We know one of his glaring weaknesses, and that is green dresses. Ask him about Danville.
