SHERWOOD ADAMS JONES Sherwood 1142 West Avenue ThirteenYears - Varsity Soccer Team, Assistant Manager of Varsity Football, Dramatics Club, Jackson. Sherwood goes unchallenged as the leading speaker and declaimer of his class, he can always -be counted on to post a high score in Society Meetings, and, strangely enough, he seems to be in more of them than any other member of the class. He has not confined his speaking ability here, however, the Dramatics Club has made use of him, and he was particularly outstanding as a senator in CORIOLAN US. It is curious that he always seems to be driving a different car. Basically a quiet fellow, Sherwood amuses his classmates with his self-cutting humor. We wish him the best of luck in the future. BERNARD BROOKS LIPFORD, JR. Brooks 4002-A Wythe Avenue SixYears - Varsity Football, Varsity Soccer, Smoking Club, Lee. Whether onthe soccer or football field, Brooks is known for his stamina. Coming out for football for the first time, he caught on quickly and did well. As goalie for the soccer team, Brooks did a good job, especially against the German team. One of Brooks' distinguishing traits is his eagerness to help in school activities. Often, he has voluntarily helped to decorate for school dances. His headquarters this year has been the S Club, in which he has become a familiar member. We wish him luck in future life. GEORGE RILEY MERCER, JR. Merce 4107 Exeter Road Four Years - Co-Business Manager of the HIEROGLYPHIC, PINE NEEDLE staff, Monogram Club, Varsity Soccer, Varsity Tennis, Jackson. Merce , in his four years at St. C., has made himself a prominent member of his class. His talents have been shown in athletics and literary fields. He has par- ticipated on the varsity soccer and tennis teams for two years. This year, he has proved to be one of the top scorers in the soccer matches, and was inspired by cheers from his many female fans. George's work as Co-Business Manager for the HIEROGLYPHIC and with the other publications has been valuable. It is certain that his talents will reward him with success. 23

ISAIAH TUCKER IRVIN, JR. Tucker Augusta, Georgia Two Years - Varsity Wrestling Team, Monogram Club, Lee. When Tucker came to St. C. two years ago, he immediately adopted Frank Freuler and Heber Himmelwright. At supper one night, he declared that he detested physical contact. Unfortunately for many wrestlers in the Prep League, Tucker proved untrue to his declaration. For two years he has been the terror of the mat in the lower classes. Last sum- mer, he worked withJackGrimmet on a fishing boat in More- head city and returned in the fall with the wild tales of nights at the beach. Tucker has lived with two North Carolina boys so we know he canhandle anything the University of South Carolina can throw at him. WILLIAM ALLEN JOHNS, JR. Shou1ders ll Tapoan Road Thirteen Years - Varsity Football, Varsity Wrestling, Mon- ogram Club, PINE NEEDLE staff, Dramatics Club, Director of Missionary Society, Jackson. Shoulders takes the prize for school spirit. Allen puts his all into every block on the football field and into everyi pin on the mat. He shoots the most doves, makes the worst home brew, and ferments the best wine in the class. Allen's eagerness, his modesty, and his school spirit have made him well-liked. His colorful de- bates with Dr. B. in physics have enlivened that class. With- out a doubt, he is the most loyal member of his class, and we wish him the best at Hampden-Sydney. KEVIN SPRAGUE JONES Kevin Falmouth, Virginia Three Years - PINE NEEDLE staff, Director of the Mission- ary Society, Monogram Club, Manager of Varsity Track, Lee. In his short career here, Kevin had made for himself a truly fine record. From the start, he has had a consistently excellent scholastic average, he was a finalist in National Merit Scholarship competition. Although a two s ea s on member of the O squad, Kevin demonstrated in the 5 star events that he is no slouch as an athlete. He was front page editor for the PINE NEEDLE and was elected by his class as a Director of the Missionary Society. A farmer at heart, Kevin evidenced disappointment at not being allowed to dec- orate his cottage with his gourds and corn. We trust that he will develope into a fine botanist. 22

Johnny is one of the old men of the S club. He has occupied a position of importance therein for several years. There is hardly a boy in school who has not learned to appreciate his humor. He has also been prominent in the Dramatics Club and served as a nimble-footed defenseman for the soccer team. Although we do not know for sure, John is rumored to be something ofa lover, and he is a roadster with a hot Chevy station wagon. We are sure that he will find good fortune at the Military Institute. 24
