Ladies and gentlemen, we beg to introduce to you a young man of fine character and re- serve, a gentleman at all times and at all places, and a boy any dear mother would be proud to claim. He made his home with us at the beginning of the school yearg and he was not long in letting us know that he really and truly meant business. It is with the gravest pain that we part with him, one of our beloved and good friends. He has proven himself to be most elegant at all times.

Roy came to us in the fall of '24 from the distinguished city of Schooltield, Va. Since entering here he has proven himself a real gentleman in every respect-gaining the ad- miration of both faculty and student. But let's look at him from another angle: from the letters he receives, there seems to be some indication of a love affair around and near North Carolina. Evidently there is. Roy has been active in literary workg and be has proven his fitness. We shall miss him a great deal in the future. Go to it, Roy, we are counting on youg and we wish you success in the ministry.

In the Fall of 19241 Calvin came to us, full of that ambition and vigor that has carried him on through his career as a student here. Along with these two attributes he also pos- sesses a most charming personality, as all who have been associated with him will tes- tify. Calvin has not made the record some others have in Athletics, but as Hall Debater and Orator of the Jeffersonian Literary Society he will be greatly missed when he has gone from among us. One of his most prized achieve- ments was the winning of the 0rator's Medal, for which he had earnestly worked ever since the first Inter-Society Program that was pre- sented after he came. In his determination toward that goal we can all take a lesson: that of being not only a willing victor but a cheerful loser, with the resolution to try again. CARRINGTON LEONARD BOOKER LOTTSBURG, VA. Flittering Flaries' Private, Ist Platoon, Sergeant, Ist Platoong Member: ,Ieffersonian Literary Society, Tide- water Club, Rifle Team, S. 0. S. Club, Ad- vertising Manager, ORACLE. In presenting this young gentleman to the public, we have no apology to make whatso- ever, as he has proven himself to be a perfect gentleman everywhere and at all times. Our friend Booker is very quietg he has a most pleasing personalityg a disposition which, no doubt, has often been envied by a great many. As he leaves us, he carries with him the love and respect of all, both male and female-and especially the fair sex just across the valley, which fthe valley? is made roman- tic and beautiful because of the strange inci- dents which have taken place nearby. , A r.v.v.va.U.v.v.v.v.v.v. . .

M. C. A., Vice- President, Ministerial Clubg President, Stu- dent Senate, Secretary, Jefferson Literary So- cietyg Chaplain, J. L. S. This fine specimen, who now stands before you, is R. L. Camden-better known as 'fBob.', He is a product of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, in Bedford County, where men grow big and strong. ln the fall of '21 he made up his mind that he owed more to the world than potatoes and corn. After this decision he entered H. M. A. for the purpose of preparing himself for the ministry. During his stay he has won the con- fidence of all. He has been one of the outstanding figures on the football field for the last four years, as well as being a loyal supporter of all phases cf athletics. We would not forget to say that he won the confidence of the fair sex soon after coming to us. To know Bob is to love him. He has a kind word for all. CHARLES HOLLINGSWORTH CHRISMAN OXFORD, N. C.

S, 0. S. Clubg President, Senior Class, Varsity Club, Track Squad, Varsity Football, Captain, Football Teamg Member, Athletic Committeeg Military Editor, ORACLE, Assistant Editor, Musketeer. Since the Fall of '24 '4Chris', has been one of the most faithful contributors to both the athletic and military phases of our beloved school. Through his hard work he has won for himself two very responsible positions, which require real executive ability and talent. As captain of the football team, he has shown unusually good discrimination with his asso- ciates, as Cadet Captain, he has displayed rare militaristic qualifications. But best of all, he has won the love and respect of all. In parting with '4Chris, we not only lose one of our best athletes but one of our best friends.
