Senior JoHN B. Harpy KENBRIDGE, VIRGINIA “J BY 1918-19—Private Company ‘‘C,.” 1922-23—-Corporal Company “A,” Virginia Club. Here’s a real Virginia hail-fellow-well-met with studious intent, but of humorous bent. His good-naturedness and wise cracks are known from corridor to corridor. He is liked by all because of his humor, his pleasantness, and his inborn tendency to do good for all. We heartily wish him a great future. The Sabre Class WILLIAM G.

A. and AG: (hi oa Few, indeed, are those who, upon seeing “’Possum” in the fall of ’20, would have taken him for the ball player that he is. In all other branches of our life he has stood out as conspicuously as he has upon the diamond. We feel sure that he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. Page thirty-eight

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:, 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.

The Sabre Senior Class WILLIAM ALLISON HEADLEY SHARPS, VIRGINIA “Bill” 1922-23—Private Company ‘‘B,’’ Baseball Squad, Y. M. C. A.; W..1I. L. S., Virginia Club. “Bill” lives up to his name in that he is one of the headiest boys in school. It makes little difference to him whether it is a Math prob- lem or a Latin lesson, as he solves all equally well. There is no doubt that he will rise high over the common level of life. Page thirty-nine Russet, C. HAMMACK EMMERTON, VIRGINIA “Hamlet? 1922-28—Private and Corporal Company ‘‘A,’’ Baseball Squad, Washington Irving Literary So- ciety, Virginia Club. This splendid young fellow dropped in one fine September day to pay us a visit and, inci- denally, to get the “Ole Sheepskin.” Since then his unassuming and kindly ways have impressed us all, and all who have come in contact with him are somewhat the better for it. He has “toted” the gun with us and walked the “bull ring” with us and groaned like the rest of us when he heard the sweet suggestion of “Don’t let them get cold” issued ; but he has lost none of his cheeriness because of these experiences. For him we wish the best of luck during his college and business career.
