A tall, commanding figure rises and speaks authoritatively for a few minutes. As he regains his seat, an awed murmuring breaks out among the assembled students. Our Allah has given us his con- ception of love. VVat played tackle on the var- sity football team last fall, win- ning a letter and a gold football. Moreover, he contributed no lit- tle to the success of the soccer club and will do his share on the diamond when baseball starts in the spring. In addition, he is a member of Sigma Phi Sigma, and is, of course, and ardent bridge fiend. Allah has little difficulty in the classroom, so we feel certain he will make the grade at the Naval Academy. V V JOSEPH T. flftvonskiflyif. 6SJ0e9! I,0N,T let the name scare you, anybody, for the person that bears it, while far from being a passive individual, is not particu- larly ferocious. Joe first drew our attention to him by his playing with the B squad football team. As a fullback he left little to be desired, and even the varsity be- came wary of him in time. He's quite a boy when he gets going, Joe is, and one to keep an eye on. Joe is in his element on the third deck. He is usually in every- thing that is going on, and there is always something doing up there. In the spring Joe Went out for both baseball and lacrosse. That's the kind he is, doing his own share and then some.

ANCHOR 81 WHEEL Special Class NIR. TI:EL's primary purpose in founding Severn School was to prepare boys for entrance into the Naval Academy. Later the en- rollment of the school was enlarged to include boys preparing to enter the hlilitary Academy and College, not to mention boys attending Severn for a high school education. At this time the boys preparing for the Service were grouped in a special class which was called The X Classf, The members of the X class come here for one year of hard. intensive studyg but find time for athletics, as boys will. This year several of the X class boys have made outstanding successes of themselves on the athletic field and in the classroom. The X class can also boast of some pretty savvy boys whom we expect to be among the fifteen presidential appointments to the United States Naval Academy in 1933. There are comparatively few school activities at Severn, but wherever there are activities you will find members who belong to the X class. One member, on the Student Councilg one mem- ber, a cheer leaderg one member, on the Severn Anchor staffg and editor of the ANCHOR AND VVHEEL, in addition, several X stu- dents in Sigma Phi Sigma. Members of the X class of 1933 wish their followers in the X class of 1934 tons of good luck and hope sincerely that they will cherish the ideals of Severn School tradition, both scholastic- ally and athletically, as we have done.
