IN REMINISCENCE W f x 1 I McCLENNY LANKFORD DREWRYVILLE, VA. 'LBuckshot Member, ,leffersonian Literary Societyg Member, Tidewater Club: Private. lst Pla- toong Private. Bandg 2nd Lieutenant, Com- manding Bandg Secretary, Student Senate. Lankford has been a faithful student of Hargrave Military Academy for the last three years. Every morning he greeted us with the mail as he pulled the hill from town. We have found that he is not one of the leisure class. though he has found time to make friends with the entire student body. Buck- shot does not stand at the foot of his class. He is right there with the goods at all times. JOHN MCCANLESS sourn BOSTON, vA. 4cMnCa, Member, Eureka Literary Societyg Private. lst Platoong Member, Senior Classg Member, Football Squad. t'Mau came to us in his senior year after having completed his first three years else- where. During his short stay with us he has proven himself a gentleman and a true sport in all things. ln the classroom he has stood near the top of his class. On the athletic field his true sportsmanship has been linked with his good fighting spirit. Although he is a rat and his activities among the fair sex have been curbed to some extent by the rat rules, we suspect that he is quite a sheik in his home town. Marv has a fine disposition and is well liked by all who have come in contact with him during his stay here. He has won a place in the hearts of his classmates. and he carries with him the best wishes of all. .v.v.v.l.v.1.vtv.v.v.v.v.v.v.1.I.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.' 0 A v I v I 1 vs Q I v 7 v v v I U v v 1 v v 1 I v U v v v v u a g l

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

IN REMINISCENCE 1 f I J 1 RUDOLPH R. MAPP CAPE CHARLES, VA. Booty Private, Ist Platoon, Corporal, Ist Platoon, Member, Jeffersonian Literary Society, Treas- urer, Jeffersonian Literary Society, Member, Rifle Team, Varsity Football, Varsity Track, Varsity Clubg Member, Tidewater Club. Booty', came to us in the Fall of '25 from Cape Charles, Va. He showed up exceedingly well in track and no one will question the splendid work done on the football field. He is, indeed, a great sport in all phases of ath- letics. He was fortunate enough to make let- ters in both during his Brat year. We wish him the same grit and determination in the game of life that he has shown on the gridiron and the Cinder path. His desire is to become a famous football coach. Booty, we feel that all your endeavors will bring you such results as to insure you success in future life. Stick to the task, and also revolve your thoughts once in a while in order that they may fall toward the class of '27, ARTHUR WILLIAM MILNE PITTsFIELo, MASS. Dickey Member, Football Squad, Cosmopolitan Club, Eureka Literary Society, Y. M. C. A., Joke Editor, Tue ORACLE, Joke Editor, The Musketeer. Of all the cases of homesickness we have ever witnessed, Duke had the worst when he came to us in the Fall of 1925. Being unac- customed to Beans, and also embarking upon his first real season away from his home folks and bailiwick, he was Hsome sick. We ac- tually had to pull him out of bed in order to get him to go to town. This spell soon passed over, however, and we found Duke to be a most companionable fellow. We learned that he could make himself at home with any kind of gathering, and he was soon the center of many L'BuIl Sessions, holding the floor with his ready flow of Yankee humor and sparkling wit. We can safely say that no one has yet been able to make him bite on a joke without having to crunch down on one in return. The fair sex has had quite an attraction for him, as has been evidenced by his frequent trips to Danville, C. E. I., and other interme- diate points. He does not play partiality with any of them, claiming that his youth precludes his taking undue interest in any one until he has finished his educational career.
