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.

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

Senior Curtis A. HADEN, JR. CROZET, VIRGINIA OS AIP” 1922-23—Private Company “B,”’ Varsity Ioot- ball, Varsity Basketball, Baseball Squad, Sabre Staff, Virginia Club, Y. M. C. A. Allen came to us picked fresh from the famous orchards of Albemarle. Evidently he grew up before the latest ideas in pruning went into practice. He came with an ambition to grow a peach as large as a grapefruit. He made the football team and now he wants to make that peach as large as a football. [here is nothing like education to develop ambition. Quiet and unassuming, Allen has won the esteem and friendship of us all. The Sabre Class JOHN WARREN GOODALL MADISON, VIRGINIA “Pap” 1921-22—Private Company eA Squad, Y. M.. C, A. 1922-23—First Sergeant Company ‘“B,” Ser- geant Major, Varsity Football, Virginia Club, Vins Baseball For two years this boy from Madison has been with us, but it was not until this year that he really stepped out. In fact some claim that last year he said that he was a ministerial student. We will not vouch for this, especially in view of his performance on the gridiron this year. He carries our best wishes with him. Page thirty-six
