JAMES XVICKLIFFE SMITH, IR., V. L. S ............................. Miller School, Reddy came into harbor at Miller School in 1884. He is the youngest in a large family of very bright boys and girls, and has never been able to get over this handicap. But he kept hammering away until 'o4 saw him a proud gradu- ate of Miller. jim played on the scrub baseball team one or two years. As soon as he got his degree, Reddy went out to begin life and is now working in a machine shop in VVaterbury, Connecticut. I am as sober as a judge. H PHILIP FAUVER TAYLOR .......................................... Miller School, Bug is the most modest fellow you ever saw. That explains why he was not a V. L. S. Bug never spoke unless you spoke to him. Did he ever smile at a girl? There is no record of any such offense on his part against Miller School discipline. He never learned to dance because the touch of a girl's hand gave him cold shivers. His delight was in mathematical mysteries. He is now taking a course in engineering at the University of Virginia. W'ise to resolve, and patient to perform. DANIEL PERKINS VVOODSON, -IR., V. L. S ....... ..................... C ross Roads, Dan is Miller School's typical boy. That he is a graduate of this school and is this session taking a post-graduate course in chemistry, will fix his standing as a student. That he is Head Monitor will show the regard Captain Vawter has for him as a gentleman. That he is an athlete of the first order, Locust Dale, Pantops, VVoodberry and the High School can testify. Football and baseball are as easy to him as rolling off a log. He goes to the University of Virginia next session, and we are wondering who is to take his place. Student, athlete, gen- tleman, and yet as modest and retiring as a girl. He says he dances when he has to. He will leave Miller School with everybody's wishes for success in whatever field of work he may go. Dan is sore about his going away for two reasons: He was never able to put it on the High School in football, and he leaves a little girl behind. I shall not look upon his like again. Va V V 8

He that is Lang woijked quite hard to make the teams and this year got his Q7 HM., in football, Studying was of him a thing apart. Lang is sometimes seen going to his post-graduate work in X. Y. Z. He has occasional flashes of silence. IULIAN KEAN PETTUS, V. L. S ..........................,.......... Charlottesville, Slick Pettus was the rarest of them all, when he did time at dear old Miller. No man can possibly predict, even with the facts before him, whether Pettus is to be a photographer or an actor or something else. Slick gave out the following items in an interview some weeks since: I was born at Louisa Court-House, Christmas day, 1884. After a few years as leading man in the jolly Farmers Stock Company, I entered M. S. Everybody there tried to hoodoo me, but I was equal to the best. I climbed upward slowly but surely, and became a close student of Utilitarianism. I learned to dance and soon mas- tered athletics in foto. In recognition of my great services, I was made Treasurer of the Athletic Association and Captain of the Buckshot Baseball Team. My greatest bid for glory, however, is that I was leader in the formation of the S. O. B. Fraternity. How I wish I was back at the Primary Building. But I have told you too much already. What am I doing now? Making a drawing for a new gasoline engine for Wallace Bros. of Norfolk. That's all. From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, he is all mirth. , CHARLES RUDOLPH REYNOLDS, V. L. S ................... ........ C harlottesville, Crook Reynolds was the kid Cin sizej of his class. His motto, 4' Do others or they will do you, 'I will give you some insight into his nickname. Crook got a start in this world in 188 5 at Mechanicsville. He came to M. S. in ,97 and gave part of himself up to chemistry-the larger part he gave to the girls. Dancing and grinning at the girls took most of his time. He studied at spare moments. In season he played baseball, out of season he read Tom Moore. C1'OQ1Q,, Vvfgte a songonce on a time.
