BEN This XVest Virginian i Ben didn't write this, even if VVest Virginia ix usually the first phrase he speaksl dropped in unannounced one afternoon. He immediately climbed to the roof of the Dorm., and gazed long and lovingly at the distant Blue Ridge Mountains. Ben has gone in for many things. Editor-in-chief of a successful Tiger and of this volume of the Kalfidosropr, the man up above has given his best efforts to Hampden-Sidney publica- tions. His other honors prove that his work has been appreciated. Another four-year resident of Fourth, he has received training which will be of untold value if he ever takes the stump for Congress. If what Ben speaks of as The Little Switzerland of America really contains the scenery he boasts of we all want to see the place. It's where john Brown looked around, sighed dis- gustedly, and groaned Go on, hang me! VVe can't resist telling you that j. VVilmer has :mother unique record: Despite the examples of his Passage mates, he has always steered clear of the wiles of the Normalites. But he isn't 1 woman-hater hy any means, and when the mail from a certain college arrives-well, as they say Mr. Kipling would say, that is another story. Seriously, Ben is a good fellow in every sense of the word, and we expect to hear of him in the future. TICERDOM SAYS: Kap fwrifr on, old mpg '1.L'l',1l rmd if, anyfwayfn 14
