Senior W. S. SHELOR, JR. RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA “Hank” 1921-22—-Private Company “‘B,’’ Varsity Foot- ball Team, Varsity Basketball Team, Y. M. C. A, 1922-23—Second Lieutenant Company ‘“‘B,’’ Var- sity Football Team, Varsity Basketball, Y. M. C. A., President of Senior Class, President of N. C. Club, Sabre Staff. “Hank” is a very prominent member of our corps, as you may see from his record. But this record does not tell all. He has suc- ceeded where many have failed—that is, he has held the heart of one of Bedford’s fair sex, and held it true for a year. A gentieman, scholar, and athlete, all this is his—what more can he wish? Page forty-seven Class Rospert Epwarp TAyLor EDGEFIELD, SOUTH CAROLINA “Roberta” 1921-22—-Private Company “A,” W, I. L. §S. 1922-23—Corporal and Sergeant Company ‘‘A,” Captain Junior Football Squad, Secretary South- ern Club, Secretary W. I. L. S., Sabre Staff. South Carolina is in the Sunny South. That explains why “Roberta” is so cheerful. ‘‘Ro- berta” is one of our best students. ‘Though he doesn’t talk about the fair sex very much, it is said that a certain girl in Bedford pines for him. Robert plans to go to the University of Virginia next year. We feel assured that he will do great work.

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

The Sabre JuLian C. TAYLor RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 1920-21—-Private Company ‘“‘A.”’ 1921-22—-Sergeant Company ‘B,’? Woodrow Wilson Literary Society. 1922-23—Private Company “BB? Football Squad, Track Squad and Virginia Club. Another of our, all too few, three-year men. Julian is happy and carefree ’most all the time. Truly of him may we say, “Eats when he can get it; sleeps ’most all the time’”—that is, during study hall. Julian has not the large crowd of hangers- on that more prominent men have, but those who really know him are proud to call him a friend; and they know that he is one who will stick through thick and thin. R. Vicror VAUGHAN PETERSBURG, VIRGINIA “Vic? 1921-22—Private Company SCA Secretary Washington Irving Literary Society, Y. M. C. A., Treasurer of Sunday School. 1922-23—Sergeant Company ‘A,’ Y. M. C. A., Washington Irving Literary Society, Treasurer of Sunday School, The historic city of Petersburg claims R. Victor as its own. For two years Victor has been one of our social leaders among the fair sex of Bedford, where his curly hair is much admired. He is willing to help any one at any time and is very popular among us. He is a hard and diligent worker in any task he undertakes. All of us wish him a great suc- cess in life. Page forty-eight
