ANCHOR 81 WHEEL l Class of 1934 A NEW group of Juniors was formed with the opening of the new school year. It will be remembered that this class drew its mem- bership from the Sophomore class of the previous year and in addition a few new students that came to Severn to prepare for the service examinations. All other classes look with envy on our athletes. VVe boast five captains of various Severn teams. On the football field Harry Gaver was Captain of the 118 poundersg Kirk Ferguson was Cap- tain of the 130-pound teamg and Linville Higgins was elected Cap- tain of the 1935 Varsity. Speaking about football, we want to tell you that MclVIaster, another Junior, played good football for the illaroons the past season. The Juniors turned out almost 100 per cent for the winter sports schedule. On the soccer field Marshall Teel was Captain, with several others filling positions. The wrestling team was successful because its personnel included Captain Gosnell and Harry Brown as regulars, and McMaster, Higgins and Bowen contesting in the Interscholastics. The Varsity Lacrosse team will fill many of its positions from members of the class. Teel, Gosnell and Higgins are expected to come through for Alma Mater. Next year we shall be members of the Senior class, and will, to the best of our endeavor, maintain and pledge ourselves to carry out the traditions and ideals of Severn School. This is our pledge.

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.

All members answered the roll call for candidates in football at the opening of the school term. They all played on Mr. P. Y. Hoover's ll8-pound team and were all equally good performers. Although the team did not enjoy the usual successful season, they must be congratulated on their fighting spirit and determination to at least try for the coveted championship. Youngblood Cooper took a hand in the wrestling program and in the spring went in for studies in a big way. This youngster comes from Huntsville, Alabama, and in case you didn't know it before. you do now. Gerald llrockmeyer is a day student and is perhaps the brightest boy in the class. frombie Garrett comes from a settlement near- by the school and has so much energy that we don't quite know what to do with him at times.

VVe would like to know Jack. l.et us in on the dope. - Traver Cowles. a student of yachting, from Connecticut, does everything but study. iVe have hopes that he will apply himself in the near future and then watch him gof,
