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.

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.”

June,1921 ECHO ANNUAL 15 JACK AUSTIN Joke Editor Echo, Debating Society, Triangular Debator, Class Lawyer. “Three fifths of him genious and the rest sheer fudge.” Jack is surely our “Jack of all trades.” He can do anything from playing a violin to playing hands, and woe to the man who crosses him in debate! Jack possesses plenty of sense and just as much nonsense His quick wit is guaranteed to take the blue out of the bluest “Monday” maid. DE MONTE CRESS “I sit quietly by, I remain faithful.” It’s the old tale of the tortoise who won the race. “Dede” makes no pretense of high scholarship, but at mid-term when many of “our best pupils” found themselves with conditions to pass off, he got by with every subject. His deportment mark has been E throughout the year. Charles Heilig says that means he is exempt on Conduct, so perhaps after commencement he will go out and kill a big one. DAVID JULIAN Editor in Chief of Echo, Foot Ball Squad. “The day, what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly.” When Dave first came to us we felt proud to have one so full of ideas, who did not hesitate to express them. He takes life none too seriously, being always ready to have a good time. He studies enough to pass. Dave is gifted with a pleasing personality and has friends in every class. QUAY BLALOCK Secretary Debating Society. “Tis good will that makes intelligence.” And both of these attributes Quay possesses. His generous unassuming manner, and careful nature, make him many friends everywhere.
