The Sabre Senior Class Ropert HoweELut EvAns RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA “Roberta” 1922-23—Private Company ‘“B,’’ North Caro- lina Club. In “Roberta” we have one of the “most handsome boys of Raleigh, N. C., handsome not only of face but also of nature. It is with real regret that we-see the day of parting draw near. Davip Ramsey Davis NEW BERN, NORTH CAROLINA “Dopte” 1921-22—Private Company “B,”’ Y. M. C. A., Washington Irving Literary Society. 1922-23—Private Company ‘‘B,’’ Corporal Com- pany “‘B,”’ Junior Football Team, Basketball Squad, North Carolina Club. “opie” hails from the “Old North State’’ and has such a pleasant disposition that even a Virginian cannot hold that against him. While “Dopie’ has not won his Monogram, he has shown himself a clean and able athlete. That success be ever his is our wish. Page thirty-four zs

The Sabre Senior Class J. Horace Derickson, JR. OCEAN VIEW, DELAWARE “Dutch” 1922-23—Private Company ‘A,’ Basketball Squad, Track Squad, Northern Club, Y. M. C. A., Washington Irving Literary Society. “Dutch” hails from somewhere in Dela- ware and if you want to arouse his fighting spirit just tell him what a bum part of the country you think that is. Horace made his appearance among us at the first of this year and soon enjoyed the friendship of all. We do not know what college will be graced with his presence next year, but we are confident that, no matter where he goes, he will continue his successful career. Luck to him! Page thirty-three ALLEN B. DERICKSON OCEAN VIEW, DELAWARE “Derick? 1922-23—Private Company TAS Corporal Company ‘‘A,” Junior Football Squad, Baseball Squad, Northern Club, Y. M. C, A., Washington Irving Literary Society. It is not often that a school is lucky enough to have two brothers of such worth, but such is R. M. A.’s boast this year. Allen, in the short time that he has been here, has become pop- ular with everyone, both students and faculty. Science is his chief delight and we doubt not that he will be heard from in the near future as a leader in that profession.

The Sabre Senior Class Harry DEVENNY MCDOWELL, WEST VIRGINIA “Harry” 1922-23—Private Company ‘“B,” Junior Foot- ball Squad, West Virginia Club. Harry is from the wilds of the West Vir- ginia mountains, and is a true son of them. It is said, that when he is with a woman, he acts as if her front porch was a cave and gets away with it. Of the truthfulness of this we cannot say, but to this we can and do testify: he is an all-round friend and good fellow. Page thirty-five NatH Lonc BURLINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA “Red” 1922-23—Private Company ‘A,’’ North Caro- lina Club, Y. M. C. A, “Red”? comes from the Tarheel State. This youthful scion of old North Carolina made his appearance among us for the first time last September. The fiery shade of his hair immediately procured a nickname for him. Nat, we are sorry to say, allows the “weaker sex” to engross all his mind, and many are the fair damsels who long for Long. In spite of this grievous fault everyone likes and respects Long. We hope he will return to old R. M. A. for additional work because we can’t get along without Long.
