M. C. A.g Glee Club, Athletic Council, Capt. Track, 1925-27. The gentleman whose mug you now be- hold is none other than the great Red,' Oliver, not Red Grange, though he is quite the stuff at football. He is also one of H. M. A.'s old stand-bys in baseball and track. Red honored H. M. A. with his presence in the fall of '24-. He claims Waugh, Va., as his home, we may feel sure that the little city is proud to claim him. C. E. I. seems to have taken him as one of the favored few, and we consider that an honor to the Institute. In later life we expect to hear great things of our friend Red.', He is a friend of every man in schoolg therefore he will be missed to such an extent that lack of words forbid us to express our feelings. Strut your stuff, Red,7' we are expecting great things of you. WILLIAM THOMAS OLIVER CHAN-IAM, vA. MW. Tis Member, Eureka Literary Societyg Corporal, Ist Platoon, Member. Y. M. C. A., Chatham- Pittsylvania Clubg Sergeant, Ist Platoo-ng Member, Clee Clubg Member, Longfellow Club. There is very little one could say relative to school activities which this young gentleman isn't familiar with. He had so fond an atti- tude toward our noble institution that at a very early date he entered as a Sub-Freshman, in 1922 NW. T.,,' at first sight, might be taken as an absolute facsimile of the theory of expo- nentsg but with a second glance you would feel persuaded beyond a doubt that your sup- position was without retribution. This young Chathamite seems to fare well with all. He has won the love of all his schoolmates-and one of the fair sex of C. E. I. has won his whether he has won hers or not. As you leave us, old pal, we wish you the best luck possibleg and trust that you will always remember there is a warm feeling in our hearts for you.

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.

IN REMINISCENCE LORENZO EMMETT RAGLAND HALIFAX, vA. :cRagvs Private, 1st Platoong Color Sergeantg Mem- ber: Jeffersonian Literary Society, Halifax Club, Senior Class, Rifle Team. Ragland came to us in the fall of '24 with great spirits and a very pleasing personality. He is not what we might call a genius in his class work. Nevertheless he is a fine fellow, and he has made a great many friends with his pleasing manner. As he leaves us, we hope that he will always remember that in each of us he has a life-long friend. JOSEPH RAYMOND ROBINSON BALTIMORE, MD. ccR0bs: Member, Bandg 2nd Lieutenantg Cosmopoli- tan Clubg Member, Y. M. C. A., Member, Eureka Literary Society, Member, Glee Clubg Member, Ministerial Clubg Prophet, Senior Class, Business Manager, ORACLEQ- Winner, D6b2:lIB1',S Medalg Winner, Speller's Medal. When the beauties of nature were returning to their slumber and the harshness of winter participating its course, the city of Baltimore Sent to us our friend whom you now behold- bringing with him all the characteristics of a gentleman. As is apparent he takes great pride in the literary world. He has proven his ability by winning the Spelleris and the Debater's medal in his 'Al-tat year. It has been rumored that the gentleman be- fore you is tied up very tightg that a little red-headed girl back in his home town has the key to his never-fading heart of romance. He is not selfishg all he asks for is 'tone minute's golden grace. Now, '4Rob,,' as you leave us, we wish you all the success the world can give. And, as you go, you have our appreciation for the friendship you have made while here. Fare ye well. ' I ....v..... ..........v......... . 1 7
