3 ax, .su s -w ANCHOR 8: WHEEL OSCAR H. STILLWAGON, Jr. 0.ssie Stillie OSCAR is one of the quiet fellows around Severn. He takes his studies seriously, but manages to have a good time, withal. He played B squad football in the fall, but has more or less avoided the winter sports. The professors at Severn have great hopes for Stillie,', as he is affectionately called by everyone, because of his poetic inclinations, and Wish that he may blossom into a Tennyson, Longfellow, or what have you? Any day Oscar may be seen around the campus in silent, absorbed communion with Nature. Good luck, Oscar, we hope you enter the Naval Academy to realize your ambition and become an Admiral some day. . V xj J v v , , 1 ROBERT V. SYPHER 65-Bob!! 5SSypll0n39 MEET the man of affairs him- self. Of course, we mean business affairs. Bob, being advertising manager of the Anchor, holds down one of the heaviest jobs in school and does a good job of it. Speaking of business, Syphon, where did you ever get that name of Love-Lips ? That doesn't sound quite so businesslike. Bob is a member of Sigma Phi Sigma, and we,ve a sneaking sus- picion that there are several young ladies up around Balti- more that are working for that pin. Good luck, old man, we hope you make the Naval Academy this time. If you don't, you know your next best calling. Better get hot on that piano-shades of Rhapsody in Blue.',

ANCHOR 8: WHEEL I V . FRANCIS EDWARD SMITH, Jr. Smitty VVHEN we first heard that Smitty was a former college student, he took on a forbidding aspect in our minds. lVe visioned some sort of grim creature, with whom we would never get along. But a few days' of Smitty's company soon convinced us that we were en- tirely wrong, and we were mighty glad of it. Smitty was on the B squad football team in the fall, and as a guard he was consistent always, and brilliant most of the time. There is only one trouble with Smitty-and that is that he doesn't let us see enough of him. The best of luck, Smitty. VV WILLIAM M. STEVENS Sieve Bill STUDYING never seems to bother Steve as it does so many of the rest of us. Day in and day out, morning, noon, and night, Steve is always busy. His few idle moments he devotes to the intri- cate game of contract in com- pany with such great minds as Rome, Lewis, and Davis. But Steve has not limited his accomplishments to the field of mental endeavor. Last fall he was a member of the A squad and he later became a valuable member of the wrestling team. VVhen baseball starts in the spring, this genial lad from Delaware will undoubtedly do his share on the diamond. We wish him luck, but we shall be sorry to see him leave.

ANCHOR 81 WHEEL WILLIAM H. TULLY Bill WE do not know quite how to de- scribe Bill. If we were to come right out and say that he was a ladies' man, we might not be be- lieved and yet it is the truth. Furthermore, we have absolute proof of this fact. For Bill, ac- cording to a reliable source, re- ceived no less than four invita- tions from girls to a single dance. Still not satisfied, he held out for Cand obtainedj a fifth, what a man! However, Bill is not altogether idle at school. His mail box is seldom empty, and letters in a cer- tain feminine hand from Tappahannock, Va., predominate. But ladies or no ladies, Bill, we all wish you lots of success. VV THOMAS L. TURNER GS Tom!! W . COMING to us right from the heart of the Nation's Capital, Tom Turner has won a place in the hearts of all his schoolmates. A prince of good fellows, he fits in with any crowd and the party is just so much merrier when Tom is along. Tom started out by earning his big S in football and following it right up by earning his letter in y wrestling. Need we say more? There are few better students in Severn than this chap. At the publication of marks we see that he is always way up in front. He seems destined for the Naval Academy. May the future be as bright as his past record!
