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

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.

The Sabre Ee fod ee, Senior Class Hawes CAMPBELL, JR. ENFIELD, VIRGINIA “Haw! Haw!” 1922-23—Private Company “B,’’ Basketball Squad, Virginia Club, Woodrow Wilson Literary Society. Haw! Haw! But it is not at Hawes, but with him. Many pleasant moments have we spent in his society listening with all our ears for his rare jokes. Luck to him! May he laugh his way to success as he has into our hearts. Page twenty-nine Firoyp Bryan Best RICHMOND, VIRGINIA “Parson” 1921-22—Out of Military, Washington Irving Literary Society, Y. M. C. A. 1922-23—Out of Military, Y. M. C. A. “Parson” Best came from our Capital City fired with zeal for books and study, as be- comes one of his calling. His problem with us was the getting of a diploma in two years without forfeiting the respect of a wife or his membership in the Ministerial Band. He has succeeded as is his custom, but he will tell you himself that it took lots of candy and early rising to do it. In passing, he found a place among our winning inter-society de- baters, and took away the Reed Junior Schol- arship Medal.
