K IN REMINISCENCE X lux! I ROBERT LEE CAMDEN BEDFORD CITY, vA. ..B0b,, President, Freshman Class, Student Senateg Corporal, Mess Sergeant, lst Platoon, Mem- ber: Rifle Team, Blue Ridge Club, Ministerial Club, Vigilance Committee, Varsity Football, Varsity Track, Secretary, Y. 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. Chris,' Private, lst Platoong Sergeant, lst Platoon, Captain, Cadet Corps, Member, Eureka Liter- ary Societyg Vice-President, Eureka Literary Societyg President, Eureka Literary Societyg Member, Blue Ridge Club, Vice-President, Student Senate, Member, Student Senateg Member. 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.

IN REMINISCENCE x J I , 1 VERNON PARKER BODEIN BALTIMORE, Mn. Flaming Youth Private, lst Platoon, Hall Debater, Jeffer- sonian Literary Societyg Member: ,leffersonian Literary Society, Ministerial Club, Cosmopoli- tan Club, Assistant Editor, ORACLE, Assistant Editor, Musketeerg Member, Glee Clubg Chap- lain, ,Ieffersonian Literary Society. 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 BENJAMIN BURNETT SCHOOLFIELD, vA. 6'Buck Private, lst Platoong Member: Pittsylvania Club, Student Senate, Historian, Sophomore Class, Secretary, Vice-President, President, Ministerial Club, Historian, Junior Class, Secretary, Sunday School Class, President, Sunday School Classg Chaplain., Hull Debater, Jeffersonian Literary Society. 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 REMINISCENCE J f 3, I THOMAS GUY FOWLER GREENVILLE, N. C. Andy Gump Private, lst Platoong Member, Jeffersonian Literary Society, Member, Senior Class, Mem- ber, Cosmopolitan Clubg Member, Football Squad. Andy is a product of North Carolina, which he says is the home of Nhard-hearted Hannah. He has had quite a hard time during his stay with us, and this is the rea- son: when he is supposed to be asleep and in hed, he is often seen parading up and down the halls-gun on shoulder and eyes exceed- ingly wide open-trying to memorize Hamlet's Doxology. Just the same he is a mighty Ene fellow, and loved by all. ERNEST ARTHUR HARPER Pom' MOUTH, VA. Chubby, Member, Eureka Literary Societyg Football Squadg Junior Class Basketball, Member, Tidewater Clubg Basketball Squad, Private, lst Platoong Corporal, 2nd Platoon. Before you, ladies and gentlemen, is the likeness of our own Chubby, He came to us in the Fall of 1925, a part of the Norfolk and Portsmouth contingent, and has since demonstrated the calibre of folks they turn out down there. As a member of the Football and Basketball Squads, he has been the terror of our oppo- nents, both on the gridiron and court, having always acquitted himself with honor, both for the team and for himself. His prowess has not gone to his head, however, he is the same Chubby we first knew. His one failing is a liking for the female branch of the species. Everything was jake his first year here, but now she is at W. 81 M., and Chubby suffers from severe cases of lovesickness. After all, that is only natural, though. We cannot get along without them, and when we get them we can't get along with them. May fortune smile upon your efforts, Chubby, and may you he the success in life we believe you will be.
