FRANK FARMER ANDERSON Wilson, North Carolina March 13, 1910 Sigma Phi Omega Scientific Robert E. Lee Frank has won for himself, during his two years stay at Riverside, many close friends who will be very sorry to see him leave. He was loved always for his quiet- ness and gentlemanly manners. Two years of diligent effort and faithful training, has made him one of the school's most celebrated sharpshooters. His Military ability is shown by his rank which he has attained' in his short stay with us. He has made a place in the band which will be hard to fill next fall, Though not an athlete, Frank has backed his Alma Mater always, whether winning of losing. We hate to see him leave, but we feel sure that he will always be a credit to Old Riverside. Sergeant-Band ELBERT BRIDGES DURHAM Savannah, Georgia September l l . l 910 Non-Fraternity Classical Sidney Lanier Bull , old boy. We feel sure that you are not destined to pass your life studying: especially Latin. We understand, though, the reason is a very simple one. You hail from the sunny land of Georgia Peaches. Brenau has always had its tender calling for you. - Those who have ever boxed with Bull will readily testify as to his athletic ability. During any football game. he worked just as hard as any man on the Held for his team to win. He undoubtedly has musical talent, as shown by the important part he has played for the band since the beginning of school. When the Seniors receive their diplomas in May. none will have left a better impres- sion of true friendship than Elbert Durham. Private-Band A

I-IERMAN GERALD ARENSON Charlotte, North Carolina August 15, l909 Non-Fraternity Classical Sidney Lanier Jake came into our midst two years ago and from the very beginning he has taken an important part in all of the school's life. He loves to write and has caused us to have a great deal of pleasure in reading his articles. From the very start he has worked hard to keep Riverside on the top in everything and it is through this that he has accom- plished so much. As an athlete, Jake stands out in nearly every sport as a result of his clean tactics and hard training. He is a truly good end, one that Riverside can be proud to claim. His graduation will leave a place that will be hard for someone to fill. Jake is not prominent in Military cir- cles, we will have to admit but in spite of this, he has risen to the grade of Corporal in his short stay. W'ith a fond farewell, we wish for him the greatest success in the future. Corporal-staff JAMES HUGH KARSNER. JR. Savannah, Georgia December 22, 1907 Non-Fraternity Scientific Robert E. Lee For three years. Hugh has held and will always hold an important place in our hearts. He is not much of a ladies' man and has been rather quiet and reserved during his stay with us. Hugh's main line is with the minstrel. For two years he has been one of its main- stays and now starts on his third. His athletic aspirations have been centered mostly about soccer, which seems to be his favorite game. Always he has done his best to uphold the standard of the school at Government Inspection and few boys have ever worked harder or with more diligence. So Hugh, old boy. though we hate to see you go, all we can do is wish you worlds of good luck and success. Corporal--Company A

MARION F. AUSTIN Leesburg, Florida June 19, 1908 Non-Fraternity Scientihc Robert E. Lee Austin plays the part of the quiet but faithful Damon to the more irrepressible Pythias of his friend McCormack. Austin's only breaks from grace are accomplished with the aid of a large band instrument which McCormack has labelled Betty and with the Victrola that is played ceasely in the firm's sanctum sanctorum. These breaks from grace, however, are most assuredly breaks, for they are. as Mc- Cormack modestly describes them, distracting, Austin intends to go next year to the University of Florida and admits that he has after that nothing particular in prospect -this means that some business Hrm has an excellent chance of getting a good man. Corporal-Band I JAMES McCORMACK, JR. Allenhurst, Georgia November 10, 1910 Non-Fraternity Scientific Robert E. Lee McCormack is the noisier of the above- pictured firm, and indeed it is hardly safe to say what he will be found engaging in at any time, for his interest ranges from Writing short stories and manufacturing wise- cracks to reading O. O. Mclntyre and writ- ing Senior Accounts for the BAYONET, of which he is Associate Editor. McCormack goes about all of these various activities with equal skill and adeptness: he is no way a mediocre person and he never hesitates to give his views on things. ln this attitude he generally gives good in- formation rather than the repetition of old opinions. so that he is always a genial, cheer- ing, and stimulating influence-although he, himself, will no doubt object to this recog- nition as flattery. At any rate. McCormack carries with him to his somewhat vague future the enthusias- tic best wishes of the corps. Sergeant-Company B
