The Sabre Oh EA A oe Senior Class WituiAM J. BARRow BLACKSTONE, VIRGINIA “Wheelbarrow” 1922-23—Private Company A Football Squad, Baseball Squad, Virginia Club, W. W. L. S. If Barrow were not so modest more of us would know his rare attainments. But as it it those who really know him value him more because of this fact. Every inch a gentleman and scholar. He takes with him our heartiest wishes. Page twenty-seven JOHN RussELvt BRINSER RICHMOND, VIRGINIA “John,” “Brig” 1921-22—Private Company ‘‘A,’’ Varsity Base- ball, Y. M. C. A., Treasurer Woodrow Wilson Literary Society. 1922-23—-Second Lieutenant on Staff, First Lieutenant on Staff, Captain Baseball, Business Manager Sabre, Vice-President Virginia Club, Treasurer Athletic Association, Vice-President Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, Y. M. C. A., Ne. In “Brig,” gentle readers, we have a man of varied career and gifted with many talents. Too much cannot be said of him. Whatever he does, he does right and well. Although he has been with us only two years, he is one of the most popular men in school as you’ve already seen in reading his many achieve- ments. “Brig” is the man who made the Sabre a financial success. Generous, earnest, and a true gentleman, he is one of R. M. A.’s finest men.

ABERNETHY MOORSVILL E, NORTH CAROLINA “Pete” 1921-22—-Private Company ‘“B,” Basketball Squad, Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, Rev- eille Staff, 1922-23—Sergeant Company ‘A,’ Corporal Company ‘A,’ Football Squad, Cheer Leader, North Carolina Club, Treasurer Woodrow Wilson Literary Society. “Pete” arrived in Bedford last year from the Old North State, and he is sure proud of his native state. ‘Pete’ is one of the best cheer leaders that R. M. A. has ever had. When he and Harrison get out on the field the boys “raise the roof.” He is also very popular among the fair sex of Bedford and vicinity. We are sure he will do great things some day and our hopes for him are high. W. Howarp BRANCH RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA “Howard” 1922-238—Private Company ‘‘A,’’ Woodrow Wil- son Literary Society, North Carolina Club. Raleigh did herself proud when she sent Howard as one of her representatives. Though he got a late start, his earnestness and ability soon put him well up in his studies while his pleasant manner and temper soon endeared him to all, not excluding the fair sex of Bed- ford.

The Sabre wea Senior Class Puivie P. Burks BEDFORD, VIRGINIA Phil”? 1921-22—Out of Military, Basketball Squad. 1922-223—Out of Military, Varsity Basketball, Bedford Club, Sabre Staff. “Phil” tramps to our halls every morning from the great city of Bedford. Or, at least, that is what he claims, but for ourselyes we believe that he takes ten of his block-steps and is here. On the basketball court he never fails to see and intercept a long pass. “Phil” expects to be a lawyer and we are sure that soon he will stand at the head of the bar, as the guiding light by which all setting out upon the sea of law will set their course. James Epwin Bootu PETERSBURG, VIRGINIA “Skimmige,’ “Edwin” 1921-22—Private Company ‘A,’ Varsity Foot- ball, Varsity Basketball, Baseball Squad, Wood- row Wilson Literary Society. 1922-23—Second Lieutenant Company ‘A,” Captain Football, Varsity Basketball, Baseball Squad, Virginia Club, Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, Sabre Staff, V. C. In the fall of ’21 the above “Skimmige,” famous all-round high school athlete, came to us from the city of the “Goobers.” As an athlete, he has no superior; this, his record above will show. “Skimmige” has a striking military bearing, and he has, since being pro- moted to a lieutenancy, measured up to all the requirements in every particular. Nature having blessed him with affable manners, good looks has put him in demand in social circles. Page twenty-eight
