The HOWLETT - 1929 Q.-976539 JOHN RIDGELY RETZER Ridgeb1,' WILL ENTER UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA W Entered school 1911. He that hath a beard is more than Track Squad 197-3- fmloufbf , Football Squad 1917-18. He that bath no beard lr leer than a man. Lacrosse Squad 1918-19. RIDGELY entered school in 1911, a baby, and unfortunately has remained so during his term of seven years at Marston's. He always, in his own mind, appears to know more upon any given subject than anyone else, but really is quite ignorant of the facts concerning it, and does not hesitate to speak his momentary thoughts without debating them with himself. As a student Ridgely could be one of the best, but he habitually neglects his work for some unknown reason, which even he is unable to explain. He is perfect in excuses, for instance, wallpapering his home was the cause of his not preparing Latin. We have slightly depreciated Ridgely, for he is a rather good fellow on becoming acquainted with him, possessing both a warm heart and the desire to aid his class- mates and friends. We are certain of his good fortune at the University of Virginia, and hope he becomes' very successful. V I will not me the bas tlaif week, but hope to get a hop. l?-8l

A is the Editor-in-Chief of THE HOWLETT, what other qualification is necessary? However, it would be unfair to him not to enumerate some of the other activities in which he has so honorably taken part during his stay at Marston's. Al has been a star backfield man for four years, a record enviable to the extreme, and we feel sure that the next fevv years Bucknell will have another backfield luminary to hurl against her foes. He has also played lacrosse for the like number of years, and his value to the team can only be expressed by recalling his election as captain of the '19 team. The back-room and the adjoining porch are his native haunts, but on special occasions he may be stirred suHiciently to attend a class or two, and when this happens, look out for A's and B's. Beware, fair lady, thy heart may be pilferedf' E171

In Pee Pee all the line's troubles were solved until his collar bone was broken by blocking a punt which routed the Scarlet and Gray forces of our old rival, Friends. Moke and Louisa have been caused much extra labor by too many trips from the kitchen to Pee Pee endeavoring to appease the appetite of this young man. He is forever conceiving brilliant ideas on making money, but thus far has been unable to accumulate a capital higher than fifty cents CMexicanD vvith which to put these transactions through. We feel that in thee, Pee Pee Rupp, Hagerstown has a man in whom to be justly proud. 'i0ne who hedge of nie dneestonr if like u potuto, the ben' punt ir underground. le-91
