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

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 FLoyp EUGENE HIGH RICHMOND, VIRGINIA “Little Lady” 1921-22—-Private Company ‘‘B,” Treasurer Y. M. C.

Floyd is a hustler, though you may not know it on slight acquaintance. He is not afraid of taking a big bite, for he can always manage to get the necessary chewing done. Witness his extra courses this year. He intends to go to Africa as a missionary. To his intimate friends he is known as “Little Lady” for his dainty little ways. However, his “feminine” nature does not keep him from thinking of the feminine true and eternal. He has been fre- quently heard to refer hungrily to a certain “lollypop” in Charlotte, N. C., and has been seen at intervals on Longwood Avenue. Page thirty-seven Class Lioyp M. Harrison EMPORIA, VIRGINIA “Leudant,”’ “Judge” ) g 1919-20—Private Company See Baseball Squad, Y. M. C..A., Virginia Club. 1920-21—Sergeant and Private Company “B.”’ 1921-22—Corporal Company ‘B.” 1922-23—Virst Lieutenant Company pesca Cheer Leader, Vice-President Senior Class, Presi- dent, Virginia Club; Y..M. C. A:, V. Cc. Here is one of the best men that bave gone out from R. M. A. in many a day. “Judge” has held many positions of trust among us al- ways with credit to himself and the school. He embodies all of those qualities that make up a true gentleman. He is faithful to his many friends and will do anything to help them. We will sure miss “Judge” when he leaves us in June, but one hope remains and that is to one day see the name of Harrison in Amer- ica’s Hall of Fame.
