Fred, for Brother Robinson would be a better name for him, for some day he will surely be a deaconj came to V. A. last fall to review his subjects before entering Middlebury this fall. He has had honors in every report, and will probably experience little difficulty in ob- taining admission to the college of his dreams. Fred is not the type with whom one easily becomes acquainted, but his friendship is of a lasting kind. Among other things that he has learned this year, one is waiting on table. This, no doubt, will help him materially while at college. We're all wishing you luck, old fellow. mhgmgg Rggh Tommy Hartford, Conn.

Classical Orchestra C4Dg Jazz Orchestra C4Dg Varsity Football C4j5 Varsity Basketball C415 Varsity Baseball C43- Tom came to us last fall from the thriving little town of Essex Junction whence may other men have come to V. A. Tom's -Iunctioniteu predecessors have established an enviable record, and a great deal has been expected of him. He is indeed no exception to the group as he made his presence felt on the gridiron. But his ability does not cease here. As a drummer in the school's orchestra he is in a class by himself, as he can handle the sticks as few others are able to do. Tom can be satisfied, but not very easily. However, this is a good point in his character, as it applies to everything that comes his way. He's not.even satisfied with himself, and is always trying to better Conditions.

Rugg has been a student at V. A. for four whole years and has proved himself to be a capable student and a good friend. Wilbur is a busy chap, in fact he is almost never seen standing still. He always goes about his business in a quiet, modest way. He has not neglected the athletic end of school activities as he demonstrated last winter in the Winter Carnival. If he continues to do his usual good work and shows his usual amount of interest, his future success is assured. 4. O .Vg W' Aff tw ' . I Ji : 4. -4 .4-. .. '

Varsity Football C455 Varsity Baseball Purdy from Penn Yan, the biggest, and one ofthe best liked fellows on the hill. But for all his greatness of size Purdy is as meek and gentle as a lamb. ln one year Purd has crowded in all sorts of extra activities. Last full our football team would have been lost without his IQO pound hulk bowling 'em over at guard. Although Ames had never played basketball he went out for the team and played second team center in a creditable fashion. Now he is out for base ball and is looking good. ln his spare moments he toys with the shot and discus. Purdy hasn't a lazy bone in his body, so we feel sure that good things are bound to come his way. Good luck old fellow. luis Slean Richer Rzmy Littleton, N.

But we envy you nevertheless because it is very becoming, although rather inconvenient at times especially when you want to wear a pink or red dress. However, red hair isn't all that is good about Lois. She has a peach of a disposition, and as to her abilityin typewriting no one can touch her. lt seems quite natural to hear the steady, even click of the typewriter coming from her room. Lois goes laughingly along her way, and proofs of her wit may be found in the V. A. Life,of which she is joke editor. XVho knows but that wc may have here a budding editor for another Life. mbnmag Riley, jf, Tom Brooklyn, N. Y.

His solos in the music recital of March 25th were excellent, and he has received no end of congratulations. Tom does not profess to be an athlete, but we know he is a golf player. hlost any spring day he may be seen driving alittle white sphere about the campus and yelling, 'I ore. Tom is also a very fine tennis player and, next to golf, this is his chief pastime.

I llow will our musical organizations fare next year without the aid of Dick's silvery tenor. Since Diek's arrival he has been active in the choir and the Inale quartette and has favored us with some very pleasing solos. He does not claim to be an athlete, but earned him- self the right to wear the Varsity V, being manager of our basketball team,..-'5With his ready wit and winning smile Dick has won a place in theriiearts of all. lVe feel sure tlIat wlIen he enters the University of Vkginia' he will sing and laugh his way into the hearts of his class- mate? there in the same modest fashion that he did here.

Si is the little giant of Saxtons River. Although ofa quiet nature he plays a trumpet and is always right there when a first class trum- peter is needed. Ile is a very good hockey player and credit is due him for his work with that team. Along with these non-scholastic merits, Si has the ability of gliding through his subjects as one who knows all about them. We can't forget the showing that he made ski jumping at our recent YVinter Carnival. It has been rumored that we have here a young poet who writes exclusively for the in- mates of Alumni Hall. lle is an all round good fellow and we expect great things of him.

About the first of December Grace decided that she would live in the dormitory, and we are all glad that she made such a decision for we have become a great deal better acquainted with her than when she commuted. We all know her to be a good student, earnest in every- thing she does and helpful in a quiet way. This Maid of Athens we all consider pretty fortunate in that she packs up and leaves us about every other week-end for her home. She is a loyal friend and we know that with such qualities success and happiness will surely he Iers. .W,gMJWLW.g un- ml 512: C KJ ff the U It m6 LMLECQZ O
