M. C. A., V. C. “Charlie’ came to us from Norfolk, Va., and will be sadly missed next year. His ready wit and good nature assure him a hearty wel- come in any social gathering; while his grit and stick-to-it-iveness made him a yaluable asset on the athletic field. Page forty-five H. Futon Reap BALTIMORE, MARYLAND “Buzzard” 1919-20—Private Cempany ‘‘A,’’ Virginia Club. 1920-21—Corporal Company ‘“B.” 1921-22—F¥irst Lieutenant on Staff. 1922-23—Captain and Adjutant, President Southern Club, V. C. “Buzzard” is the peculiar one of the flock, for who ever saw one of those sombre birds as fond of gay cloth and bright eyes as this one? We excuse it by saying he is the exception to prove the rule. We sincerely hope he will always be as carefree as he is here.

The Sabre Senior M. M. Price, Jr. IVANHOE, VIRGINIA “M. M.” 1921-22—Private Company ‘‘A.’ 1922-23—Sergeant and Private Company ‘A,”’ Junior Football Team, Baseball Squad, Virginia Club, “M. M.” is the only boy who comes from a town having a well known romance named after it. But even this fact has failed to give him the swell head. He was the star center of the junior football team and we expect to see him smash his way to success as he did upon the gridiron last Fall. Class WILLIE ATTICUS PARDUE, JR. TRENTON, SOUTH CAROLINA “Willie Atticus” 1922-23—Private Company “B,’’ Junior Foot- ball Squad, Southern Club, W. I. L. S. “Willie Atticus” came under our wing from the warmer Carolina, which fact he proudly shows by the warming color of his hair. Nevertheless, he has shown himself to be a scholar of the school and a fellow-student well worth knowing. This “lover-forlorn” is just as sure a hit with the girls as he is with the boys, but we cannot hold that against him. On the drill field he is entirely hidden by his rifle, therefore his military rating cannot be ascertained. Yet these little drawbacks are completely brushed away by his sunny dis- position, and with it he is sure to ride on top of the world. Page forty-four

The Sabre Senior Class CLAYTON BAILEY STEED ESMOND, VIRGINIA 1922-28—Private Company ‘A,’ Junior Foot- ball Squad, Track Squad, Virginia Club, These brothers are hard to beat, especially when they are together. Baily is the larger physically and is the older of the twain. Though unlike in appearance, William and Baily are of the same disposition. It is the latter’s ready smile and ever-pleasant greeting that makes him so welcome among us. But he never allows fun to interfere with his studies, and for that reason is a good student. With these qualities, we know that he will succeed, whatever his endeavor may be. WILLIAM FRANKLIN STEED ESMOND, VIRGINIA 1922-23—Private Company “B,’” Virginia Club. We often wonder if Sneed’s name is an in- dication of his fiery disposition? He says no. Because of his size, William has not been able to go in for athletics, but he has made up for it in other attainments. He ranks well in his studies and is a good friend to every one. This is Steed’s first year with us, but he has already become well liked. His presence is such a delight that he will be sorely missed next year. Page forty-six oN “apres
