Senior Class W. P. WYNNE, JR. FORT WORTH, TEXAS “Jake” 1921-22—Private Company “B,’” Basketball Squad, Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, Y. M. GuAS 1922-23—First Sergeant Company “B,”’ Foot- ball Squad, Track Squad, President Woodrow Wilson Literary Society, Treasurer: of Senior Class, Southern Club, Assistant Editor of Sabre, A sure-fire fellow who hails from the “Wooly West,’ and who distinguishes himself in spitting out a mean roll call at the first sergeant’s post. But “Jake” is just as well known for jolliness and even disposition, also for his noted collection of pipes. For many a moon his fair features and “Valentino” hair have caused the tumble of certain fair damsels, but sometimes he will fall and a lucky “femme” it will be that gets him. In class he is a wizard on technical terms, designating them all by “thing-a-ma-jigs” and “what-you- may-call-its.’ Never mind, Jake is sure to get there just the same, Page fifty-one GeEoRGE MELVIN WHITE RICHMOND, VIRGINIA “Mel” 1922-23—Private Company ‘“‘A,’’ Drum and Bugle Corps, Football Squad, Baseball Squad, Virginia Club. “Mel” is noted among us as our one and only drummer boy. The one and only fault we find with him is that he continues to beat his drum in such a manner that he cannot keep time to it himself. His virtues are so numer- ous that we shall not attempt to list them here. Let it suffice that we see him leave with deep regret.

Wittens 1922-23, First Sergeant Company ‘“A’’; Varsity Football; Track Squad; Editor-in-Chief Sabre; Vice-President Southern. Club; Senior Class Prophet and Poet. While you would never know it from his writing or from listening to him recite in class, at times John shows real brains. He swears he will never edit anything else but we doubt it. Luck to him; may he always succeed in his undertakings. The Sabre Class CuHar LeEs B. WILLIS HIGH POINT, NORTH CAROLINA 1921-22—-Private Company ‘“B,”’ Washington Irving Literary Society. 1922-23—Sergeant Company “‘B,’’ Junior Foot- ball Team, Washington Irving Literary Society, N. C. Club. Willis hails from High Point, the city famous for its furniture industry. He applies himself diligently to any task he has to per- form and has made good in both his studies and military during his stay here. Although he did not try to make any of our varsity teams, he was one of the best linesmen on our junior football team this year. He will be missed when he leaves us next June. Our best wishes follow him. Page fijty

The Sabre Senior Class ROBERT CARLTON WOODLEY ELIZABETH CITY, NORTH CAROLINA “Bob” 1922-23, Private Company ‘“B’; Baseball Squad; Y. M..Cy A. Upon our return Christmas we found “Bob” installed on the second diner. He soon be- came firmly seated in our hearts. A. M. A. shall always have our blessing for sending him to us. T. WILLIAM ZINK KEYSTONE, WEST VIRGINIA “Bill” 1921-22—Private Company ‘‘A,’’ Y. M. C. A. 1922-23—Corporal and Private Company ‘‘A,” President West Virginia Club, Sabre Staff, Y. M. CE sAs West Virginia sent us the best drilled cadet in our corps last year and he bids fair to be this year. William says New York may be a big city, but it has not got anything on Keystone, W. Va. “Zink” is one of our best cartoonists and may one day rival Bud Fisher. He is a dili- gent and hard worker, and makes good use of his time. That “Zink” may make good in whatever he undertakes is the wish of all. Page fifty-two
