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.

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.

O IN REMINISCENCE l-qw, 51 AUBREY EDWARD HUNTER GLADYS, VA. Pete Private, lst Platoong Corporal, lst Platoon, Member, Eureka Literary Society, Track Squadg Rifle Team, Blue Ridge Club, Long- fell0w's Club. This little runt came to Hargrave in the Fall of 1925, with no particular object in view except to grow to be a man. He has gained a scant halfvinch in height, and we seriously doubt that he has picked up anything in girth. Col. Camden owes him quite a large sum because he has failed to live up to his motto. He has certainly failed to make a man of Pete. To lay aside the jocular, however, we find that Pete is a very pleasant fellow-when he is asleep. He is extremely quiet-except when he has nightmares. Pete does have a very charming personality, and we have found him to be very studious and ambitious, particularly in Algebra and English. He has not starred in anything in the Athletic Department, but has added his weight and agility to the Track Teams. The fair sex seems to have little attraction for him, especially in and adjacent to Chat- ham. From the frequency of the arrivals of letters from Rustburg and vicinity, however, we are inclined to doubt that there is no one. What Pete expects to make of himself we don't exactly know, but we wish him success in his future life. LUTHER ANDERSON IRBY, JR. J AvA, VA. Cispikeii Member, Ministerial Club, Secretary, Min- isterial Clubg President, Ministerial Clubg Private, Band, Member, .leffersonian Literary Society, Member, Halifax Club. This young man made his home with us in the fall of '24. He seems to be very ambitious, and is al- ways striving to make himself worthy of a good name, he is a Christian gentleman and is well liked by all. He has decided to make the ministry his life's work. We feel sure he will succeed and prove to be a splendid minister. vv v 5 .v.v.v.v.u.u.vv. v. . . . . . . . . .v. . . - . . . ' 4
