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

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-. .. '

Tennis hfanager QQ, Hockey Q43 Track Q4lg Yaude- ville Night C4D. Coming to us this fall from that far renowned land of East Orange, Smitty's first accomplishment was to earn his class numerals in the lntra-Mural Tennis Tournament. He is manager of the tennis team. But his ability to win more than tennis matches is shown easily when one considers his visits in Alumni Hall. But Sunday afternoon matches are no more-as-well, ask Smitty-he knows. Smitty played a fast game of hockey with the team until, owing to a decree of destiny, he discontinued this sport. He is now out for track, and when he leaves the ground on one of lIis mighty pole vaults, or high jumps, one wonders when welll see him again. And to top all of these activities Howard is a piano player of no mean ability. Vile know that with all these abilities Smitty is bound to make a success in business, in St. Johnsbury or elsewhere. jllfllllljdkl QUIUIIITCRP ' Nlidf-1lCbUfYi Vt- Al2e,' HSam Mike SCIENTIFIC UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA Iliff a V.

Anyway, Smiley was aII invaluable asset to the football team at center, aIId his ol' stocky form was as easy to get past as a stone wall. After football season he gave a sterling game of basketball to the team. Another proof of his all around ability is that he's way up in all lIis subjects and is a good man on the class room floor. Maybe helll get disgusted with college again next year and return to us. XYho knows? If he doesn't, he knows we're with him.

A. f4Qg W'ildcat Board C4Dg Cast, Her Glovesf, Smiles, smiles, smiles, giggles and laughter characterize this husky he-man from New York City. When Eddie isn't laughing he is smiling and when he isn't smiling-well, no one has ever seen him with a long face. Eddie came to us through R. Baillie lflldredge, fresh from Staunton hlilitary Academy. His reputation was indeed enviable botlI as a cadet and an athlete. That he has lived up to his reputation was proven on the gridiron. Coach Burke picked him as tlIe best tackle on the all-competition team, but lid has done more than this. His acting in the Literary play cannot go without men- tion, as it was exceptionally good. His name too has appeared on the honor list more than once. So, in Eddie we have a character of which this institution may well be proud. He expects to go to XVest Point.
