June,1921 ECHO ANNUAL 13 DODD BROWN “But who is he with modest looks, and clad in homely russet brown?” Dodd claims the position of the most dignified Sen¬ ior. He is truly of modest looks, and his modesty prevents his acknowledging the good scholarship which is his. Dodd is a capable student, and will get by in any world. TURNER THOMPSON “Who is he that doth so sit and stare.” He is Turner Thompson, and he doth so sit and stare because he has no lessons to get. He carries only a few subjects and manages to get up his assign¬ ments in one of his several study periods. Turner must be a good talker, for he managed to drop Latin when the other boys of the class failed in their at¬ tempt. ROBERT WALKER 1st. treasurer Hi-Y, Marshal, Athletic Club, Captain 2nd. Foot Ball Team, Triangular Debater ’20-’21 Statistician, Tennis Club. “Wild, unwearied to the Strand he struggles.” We are all very fond of Bob and truly believe he will someday live up to the heights of his ambition. Rob puts in his spare time (which is very little) playing golf, visiting the Strand and the Empire Drug Co. and sometimes, though seldom, the girls. DAN REDWINE Joke Editor of the Echo, Hi-Y. “With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.” Dan is always ready with a joke, and if he is not called down he usually gets more attention than “teacher.”

12 ECHO ANNUAL June, 1921 WHITE LINKER Hi-Y. In him all generous virtues blend.” White is a fine student, and equally stands near the head of his class, although he carries special deliv¬ ery letters outside of school hours. For a while we wondered why he had so many letters for Bank street—now we understand. PAUL McADAMS “He hrs a true soul for field, river and wood.” Whether Miss Hart forced this soul into Paul or not, we have to learn, but the fact is that Paul is an ex¬ cellent student of Physical Geography. Paul is rath¬ er diffident about reciting on other classes, but we can talk a good deal about things which have nothing to do with the lesson. JULIUS RAGLAND Treasurer Class, Secretary Hi-Y, Class Prophet, Debating Society, Winner Queen’s Daughter’s Medal. 1920. “Ain’t it so ?” “Spooks” is one of our best students. His opinion is considered an authority among students. We wish him luck at the University. EDWIN GREGORY Advertising Manager of Echo, Nathan Hale Play— General Hull, Foot Ball, Captain of Base Ball. “Better late than never.” Ed, our bashful student never lets his alarm clock disturb his forty winks of sleep. His delicate blushes have won many a faint smile from the ladies. In suite of this rosy quality, Ed has shown us some real stuff on the athletic field, and has won the favor of all.

14 ECHO ANNUAL June, 1921 FRANCIS BELL Hi-Y Club. “Was curiosity a virtue then he would be truly virtuous.” 11A has a perfect attendance record, which is Frank. He is generous with everything, especially with his questions. WALTER WOODSON Base Ball Manager, Football, Circulation Mgr. Echo. “Should have his apt word to excuse himself.” “Babe,” so called because of his added plumpness, is a regular fellow. He is fond of traveling, espe¬ cially to St. Mary’s. “Babe” approves heartily this saying, “all play and no work.” Although it is said he carries more subjects than any other Senior, he studies less. We wish him good luck for he is an all round fellow. CHARLES HEILIG 2nd. Foot Ball Team Advertising Manager Base Ball Team, President Tennis Club, Secretary Debat¬ ing Society, Treasurer Hi-Y, Marshal. “The pen is mightier than the sword.” But Charles doesn’t use a pen all the time, he gener¬ ally prefers his eversharp pencil when he writes his never ceasing notes. He sometimes writes to boys, but he is a real lady-killer because of his good looks (he has the eyes) and his amiable disposition. WILLIAM THOMAS BURKE, JR. Business Manager of Echo, Marshal, Debating So¬ ciety, Cabinet member of Boys High School Club 1918-19. “One’s self must never give way.” Tom makes it a point to get plenty of joy out of life. His greatest horror is that of being a book¬ worm. Nevertheless, he passes his work creditably, and we have no fear about his making good in the business world. As Business Manager of the Echo, he has shown us what he can do. Everybody likes Tom.
