Little knew we of the grand old Hoosier State and of its patriotic sons until Morris came to R.-M. A. First we see him as a student, and we stand aghast at his ability to master his studies with such ease. His life here has implied all his motto suggests, for his school duties are always performed with that exactness and thoroughness which has placed him among the leading students of the Academy. Next we take I1 peep at his ability as an athlete. VVe lind him in the gymnasium with the old basket-ball, eag- ing those long shots, which in many instances save the game for our team. WVe may well class him as a star of our basket-ball team. Lastly we see him as a man. His conduct is always that of a gentleman, and he exhibits all the hner qualities of cultured training. WIENDELI.

Upon his return he was made SQl'gPZ1Illf-1lli1j0I' and soon afterwards he was D1'0l1l0t4'f1 to a lieutenaney. At the beginning of tl1e present session he was placed iu charge of Company UA. and his company is justly proud oif him. I-le is strletly military, being both firm and just to all. Out- side of his uiilitnry duties he is just plain l4'oreln1ud, everybody's friend. We hate to see him go, but we are satisfied that he will do great things in the world. We wish him success in his niilitnry career at West Point. Randolpli-Macoli is proud of him.

St. Paul, Virginia, is well represented at Ran- dolph-Macon by one of her favorite sons. Because of his good nature and ready smile, he has become one of the most popular boys in school. Every one is glad to have Dick drop in and talk a while. Dick also is the owner of the only victrola in school, and this makes his room a favorite hanging- out place. R.-M. A. will miss him, but we are glad heliisf going to prepare himself for greater usefulness in 1 e. RICHMOND I-1. DUGGER lsuonxrxx, va. Dirk i'Vl1ilv we Ii-W let ns enjoy life. Private Co.

Athletics did not seem to afford very much attraction for him, though he tried football for a while this year. But as town in the afternoon looked better to him than the gridiron he soon gave it up. During his two years here he has made a good record in his studies and military. He is planning to be one of those who will represent R.-M. A. at V. P. I. next year. just as it is impossible to pierce the dark and impenetrable vale that shuts us out from what is beyond, so it is hard for us to foretell what the future has in store for our friend. Yet we have no doubt but that his will be a prosperous and happy career.

Gill has been with us for two years, but by no means did it require this much time for us to Iind out that he was a gentleman in every respect. He is a very generous boy and is ever willing to do any one a favor, consequently he has made for himself a host of friends. His school work was somewhat impeded by sickness, but, notwithstanding this, it has been successfully clone. He was a hard worker on the basket-ball court and justly deserves the mono- fframs which he has won. Gill has not yet decided what profession he will take up, but a boy with his character and determina- tion can not have anything but a successful future. as
