ICnuta l|mit? DR. HOW ' ] ' ; was born at Ncwburyport, Massachusetts, with a line of New Eng- land ancestry reaching back to Plymouth Rock. His father was a beloved physician of charming personality and wide influence, whose even tempera- ment the son inherited. While a student at Amherst College, he manifested a deep interest in Southern affairs, and frequently had occasion to express his views in debate, and hence, when later transplanted to the South, he found a congenial soil. After graduation from Amherst, he went to Germany to continue his studies in chemistry, and in two years received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Gottingen. While- there he entered into the life of the German students and made many warm friends whom he has kept through all these ears. After returning to the United States, he taught for a year in Cleveland, Ohio, and for several -ears in Richmond and Louisville, Kentuck}-, whence he was called to the Chair of Chemistry at Washington and Lee Universit}- in 1S94. As a teacher, he is enthusiastic and inspirational. He is an ardent advocate of the laboratory method in teaching chemistry, and his lectures are expositions and explanations of the meaning of the experiments performed by the students in the laboratory. He believes that independent investigations should be undertaken b}- all students as soon as practicable, in order to stimulate interest and to promote the understanding of chemical problems. His views as to the best method of teach- ing chemistr) ' , led him, together with Dr. Francis P. Venable, of the University of North Carolina, to write a text-book which has served as an excellent introduction to the fundamental laws of the science. The students whom he has trained have been unusually successful and enthusiastic in the further pursuit of chemistr -. His courses are ver_ - popular and his laboratories are alwa s full. ' henever there has been a demand for a new course in chemistr -, Dr. Howe has added it, regardless of the extra tax upon his time and energy. He has thus built up a department which would be too large for a single professor with less broad training and physical endurance to manage. His friends will rejoice that the authorities of the University have now found it possible to appoint an asso- ciate professor of chemistry for the coming 3 ' ear. As an investigator, Dr. Howe has done valuable work on ruthenium and plati- num metals. While engaged in his investigations he found that a knowledge of Russian would be of benefit to him, and hence, he took up the study of that languao-e by wa - of a diversion during the summer holida -s. Dr. Howe is a member and fellow of a number of scientific societies, and has held office in the Chemical Societ}- and in the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science. While primarily a teacher and an in estigator, he has man - outside interests. He is a tireless religious worker. He is an officer in the church, conducts a student Bible class, and is a strong advocate of the Young Men ' s Christian Asso- ciation — International, State and College. He was for years a trustee of the Chris- tian Endeavor Society and is active in the Layman ' s Missionary Movement. He is President of the People ' s National Bank of Lexington, to the interests of which he gives the closest attention. He is devoted to music, and spends man ' evenings at the piano; a lo er of Nature, and enjoys working among his flowers. He is an enthusiastic philatelist. and finds pleasure and recreation in scrutinizing eacli individual stamp in his large collection. These things are all an integral part of his life, and show the breadth of his interests and the apparent boundlessness of his energy. He is a ver} ' rapid worker and at the same time painstaking and accurate, but he never seems to be in a hurry. As a lecturer, teacher, investigator and religious worker, Dr. Howe ' s efforts have been crowned with success and he has won many friends and admirers. He is so man -sided that it ma ■ trulv be said of him that he is a well rounded man.

We are aware of its shortcomings and have the assur- ance that they will duly be criti- cized. But we have been fully conscious that it is impossible to compile a book that would please everyone, so we have made no special eiTort towards that end. Being a production of the stu- dents, we believe that to them should be given the first consider- ation. Therefore, we have attempted to incorporate in this volume every phase of student activities, with the hope that in after years each r -— may find in it some feature of special interest. Having had im- pressed on us m,ib = 5 S S recognition  - ' ' ' -- - ' given the Fac- ulty in past issues of The Calyx, we have attempted to give them full representation in both sections of the book. r H K CALYX ion; William Alexander Anderson, 1885 Lexington, Virginia Alexander Tedford Barclay, 1885 Lexington, Virginia Edward Clifford Gordon, 1888 St. Louis, Aiissouri Robert Hanson Fleming, 1898 Baltimore, Maryland John Alfred Preston, 1898 Lewisburg, West Virginia LuciAN Howard Cocke, 1898 Roanoke, Virginia William Ingles, 1899 Radford, Virginia Albert Winston Gaines, 1901 Chattanooga, Tennessee George Walker St. Clair, 1901 Tazewell, Virginia John Sinclair Munce, 1901 Richmond, Virginia Frank Thomas Glasgow, 1907 Lexington, Virginia William Dickinson Lewis, 1907 Charleston, West Virginia Robert Edward Lee, 1915 Burke, Fairfax County, Virginia William McClanahan White, 1915 Raleigh, North Carolina Harrington Waddell, 1915 Lexington, Virginia Died November 27, 1915. 32 T H K C V L Y X 1 y 1 O sii Hexry Louis Smith, Ph.D., LL.D.

PAGE S E Norfolk, Virginia We happened to kntiw Viv when he was the freshest Freshman that was ever introduced to the flat side of a paddle, and when we saw Viv enrolled among the innocents at Tucker Hall last year, a question mark spread over our countenances. W iili zeal and zest he put his nose tothegrindstone, and to sucii good purpose that a short while before Xmas he was able to convince the State Bar Examiners that he was entitled to the privilege of becoming the fourth Page in the firm of Page, Page Page. EDMUND McClelland calloway i; p E; A e Noiwood, Virginia Eddie believes in tak- ing things easy, and is thoroughly in accord with the assertion of Lord Ches- terfield that a gentleman is never in a hur ry. He shows his admiration for the author of this state- ment by smoking with great zest the cigarettes that bear his name. He graduated from the Nor- wood High School and came to Washington and Lee in ' 13. A baseball player of no mean ability is Eddie, and at this writing he is making a strong bid for I he catcher ' s position on the Varsity Nine. HUNTER McGUIRE SHUMATE, M. C. Glen Lyn, Virginia You can tell Hunter with his horn-rimmed glasses and pugnacious jaw in almost anv crowd, but it is a cinch you can ' t tell him much. He is strongly opposed to dancing and condemns it in no mild terms. Perhaps if he took a whirl or two on the dance floor with a fair young thing reclining in his arms, while Old Man Wright plaved the Saxaphone Rag, the whyness of it would become apparent to Hunter. A prominent member of the Graham Lee Literary Society is Hunter, and was winner of the Orator ' s Medal on the occasion of the society ' s annual celebiation last year. 40 Tazewell, Virginia On the night of March I lth, ' Judge uncovered the light he had been hiding under a bushel, and won sudden fame as a debater, thus adding a new accom- plishment to his Icnown list. Judge has been here but two ) ears, but in that com- paratively short while he has made his presence felt on the campus and has won the esteem, respect and con- fidence of those whose privilege it has been to know and associate A ' itli him. HOWARD CORNELL HICKS r J.; A Inwood, New York ' Hickey, with his cheery ' Howdy, his breezy, hap- py-go-lucky manner, is a t ' pical Xortherner. On his way southward, Lawrence High School at Bingham, held his interest for a few years. He came to Wash- ington and Lee in ' 12. W hile here he has sand- wiched Law and Academic tickets with a remarkable degree of success, and on the eve of receiving his Law Degree he won a rep. as a History shark. Blessed is the man who leads the expanding Hfe. GEORGE DECATUR SHORE i: i E; A e Sumter, South Carolina Shorty is one of the L niversity fixtures. He hasn ' t been here as long as Miss Annie, of course — but who has. Shorty entered Washington and Lee with us as a Freshman, and ever since we have known him he has stood head and shoulders above any man in the University. While sojourning in the Academic Department, Shorty served as Historian for the Sophs, and as President of the Junior Class; the Junior Law Class honoring him by electing him its vice-president. 41 Salem, Virginia Give Sally any set circum ' stances, and he tell you with reasonable certainty whether or not the party affected by the circumstances would haw an action. His early educa- tional endeavors were con- fined to the public schot of Salem and Roanoke C lege, from which institutii he received his A.B. Degrc Sally ranks among tli best students in the c although he has a little dif- ficulty in making record time on Joe Long ' s courses. JOHN RIVES MANNING We first made Ike ' s acquaintance as a fellow sufferer in Dolly Pear- son ' s Histor ' V. Following the example of many others before him, Ike sought to acclimate himself to the atmosphere of the campus by taking a year of Aca- demic work. That being done he felt sufficiently seasoned to undergo a siege at Tucker Hall. Firmly has Ike met the onslaughts of the enemy, and when Degree Day comes, Ike mil be able to say veni, Mdi, vici. Ike is prom- ment in crew affairs. SAMUEL ABRAHAM -WOFSY Lexington, Virginia In Sam we have an international figure. Born in Dvinsk, Russia, he spent the larger part of his youth in Brazil, coming to this country about seven years ago. When we consider this latter fact, Sam ' s record at Washington and Lee has been nothing short of remarkable. A loyal member of the ash. he is rated among its best debaters. In addition to being quite successful with his law work, he has established quite a reputation as a Spanish shark, and it is quite a common occurrence to see Sam sur- rounded by a crowd of eager Freshmen clearing up the difficulties of the day ' s assignment. 42 Despite the fact that was born and raised in a countr ' where you can see moonshine in the daytime, Dots has led a ver}- re- spectable career during his two years ' stay at Washing- ton and Lee. Although he has not applied himself as diligently to his books as some of the more studious members of the class, he has applied himself sufficienth- to warrant the belief that he will get a Law Degree in June. Dots is death to fly questions, especially in pleading. He attended Wise High School, and before entering VV. and L. spent a year at Emory and Henry. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE HOLLAND 11 K A; II A . Suffolk, Virginia Holland certainly u ' ot himself in Dutch with the local Barbers ' L ' nion «hcn he started the shaved dome fad. He was threatened with damage suits, injunc- tions and numerous other legal weapons, and the L nion e en went so far as to hire local thugs to bombard poor Shakes- peare ' s cranial superstruc- ture with ink bottles, erasers, chalk, and other convenient missiles. He came to Washington and I,ee in 1913, entering the Academic School, but the fall of ' 14 saw him a mem- ber of the then Junior Law Class. JOHN -WILLIAM MAY Lexington, Kentucky They call him Whiskey, because he hails from Old Kentucky, w here the amber fluid trickles down the hillsides in rivulets of sparkling lustre. John graduated from Millersburg Military Institute, with honors, and entered the Law School in the fall of 1914. Though young in years he has kept pace with the older heads of the class in jumping the hurdles that line Degree Straight-a-way. Perhaps he hasn ' t jumped as high or with as exquisite form as some, but when the final lap is run you will see John Whiskey May among those who breast the tape. 43 Oft have we wonder id why a sunny smile continu ally plays on Rip ■, cherubic countenance D i s he smile through force 1 habit, because he uants t show his teeth, or does he eat Quaker Oats: The rei son remained in the hmbo of unsolved problems until we noticed in Rips history that he had spent i year at the Uni ersit of Virginia. He attended Massanutten Academy at Woodstock, Virginia, and entered Washington aiul Lee in ' 14. He is a m of the Glee Club and plays in the Orchestra. Tazewell, Virginia if you desire a lucid and instructive exposition on the fickleness of the female heart, and the recoUective mutability of the female mind, we refer )-ou to Friend Zack. During his two } ' ears here he has held down second base on the arsity Nine, and on the intellectual diamond he has established a perfect fielding and batting average. They can ' t sizzle ' em over too hot for Zack at Tucker Hall — he cares not whether Walter Johnson More- land, or Christy Matthew- son Moomaw is in the box! SHIRLEY RILEY 2 X; . A Roanoke, Virginia Shirley ' s chief claim to distinction lies in the fact that he hails from the best town south of the Mason-Dixon line. It is indeed, needless to say that the town in question is Roanoke, the Magic City of Virginia. He ran the gamut of the public schools of the city and then transferred his educational endeavors to Roanoke College. He remained there for several }ears, and then deciding to study law he came to Washington and Lee. He entered a little late, but he took to law like a duck to water, and the end of this tern) will find him a big duck on the LL.B. pond. 44 Someone has said half the battle of life is won when you ha x acquired the habit of work. If this be the truth, then Twig has his half cinched, for work with him is not a habit but a disease. De- spite the fact that he never works on Sunday, he has run up some record marks in the register at Tucker Hall. He prep-ed at Greenbriar Presbyterian School, and entered V. and L. in 1909. After receiving his A.B., he taught school for a few years, returning to W. and L. in 14. Coming to us from Hamp- den-Sydney, Mac has kept up to the high stand- ard maintained b}- the sons of this honored Alma Mater. Recognized as one of the dependables of the class, he applies himself diligently to his work, and though much worried now and then by the millions of gnats that frequenth swarm the cam- pus, he consistently reaps the reward that comes to those who believe that if a thing is done, it ought to be well done. Where born? I ' nion.W. Mrginia. When. ' March 13, 1S94. PARKER WILSON BURHAM K . ; -i. Gala, Virginia Parker has the honor of being Dean of the Class. Though older in } ' ears than most of us, and pos- sessing a greater maturity of mind, Parker is as young at heart as the youngest man in the class. He is progressively conservative in his ideas, a stickler for principles, and is a man with a broad vision and a broad sympathy for his fellow man, and a capacity for friendship rarely found. He is one of the star players on the Class Basketball Team of last year and contributed largely to the success of the team this year. He entered the Law School in ' 14 and at once won a reputation for being a strong and con- scientious student. 45 ARMAND CASTRO LOPEZ Brooklyn, New York Quiet and reserved t.i ward his acquaintances jolly and congenial in tin presence of his friends who are manr, A r m a n i has the esteem and respect of the former and the affec- tion of the latter. Armani never loosens his hold on subject until he has throt tied it. Conservative, sloi to speak and act, there i nothing of the sensation.i. about him. He takes his time about everything, and he is always sure he is right before he goes ahead. A star Suicider is Ar- mand, and a star fish in the pool. FREDERICK STANLEY PORTER Princess Anne, Md. ever bod calls Inm, but how an one can get Bob out of Frediick Stanley we fail to compre- hend. We have kno n some few book agents in our dav, Self Knowledge agents among others, but Bob is the only agent we have ever known who is able to i.ll a customer a book and still retain his friendship. 1 1 e prep-ed at Princess Anne High School and was at W ashington College four Mars; getting his B. A. and winning a reputation as an ithlete and student. He w as captain of the football team for two years and was twice chosen All-Maryland fullback. THOMAS AQUILLA MYLES, M. C. Rainelle, West Virginia Milam ranks among those of the class who are considered versatile. He is a good student; he is some vhat of an athlete and, according to Hunter McGuire Shumate, the champion pie and apple eater in Rockbridge County. Collegiate Institute is responsible for his intellectual development prior to coming to Washington and Lee. Milam is one of the standbys of the Graham-Lee Literary Society, and when he leaves here in June, will take along with him an excellent forensic bearing. 46 WILLIAM HENDERSON ESTES ATA; II AX; C.C. Henderson, N. C. If Julian Eltinge had seen Hen as Beatrice Fairfax at the P. A. X. Show, he would have re- alized that he had a rival as a female impersonator. Of course, Hen will make a crackerjack lawyer, but nevertheless we can ' t help thinking that he has a future on the stage. Just as a matter of record it might be well to note that Hen was born in Hen- derson, X. C, Xov. 3, 1S93. He attended the liddle- town High School at Mid- dletown, Ohio, for a time and finished his preparatorx work at R. M. A. - ? TTnTTITTITnfflllllllllilllll!ll PRESTON ARMOUR CHILDERS K. A. Temple, Texas Chili is his name. Some add the Con Carni, but we prefer plain Chili. A Texan is ' Chili, but you wouldn ' t know it by look- ing at him. It is only now and then that he allows a sombrero to grace his head, and we have ne -er known him to carry on his person . oung cannon. An expert 1 HLrineer is Chili, not in ihe Humphreysian or Le Comte Stevensonian sense, but in the sense of putting ihmgs over and getting things through. He entered .Tshington and Lee in ' 13, and has combined to ad- Tntage while here Aca- demic and Law work. SAMUEL PHILIP KOHEN Lieut. S. P. Kohen is one of several of our friends to whom the atmosphere at Tucker Hall has proved extremely beneficial. When first we knew him as a Freshman he was an anemic, intellectually undernourished youth, drifting along without aim in a sea of academic difficulties, but no sooner did he enter the portals of Tucker Hall than he took a new lease on life. He entered Washington and Lee at the tender age of fifteen. Ever since he has been in college he has been intimately associated with Dr. Pollard, and without question has been the most faithful messenger boy that Doc. ever had. 47 When Basketcer en- tered Washington and Lcc m the fall of ' 14, he was known as the brother ul Rooster, but it wasn ' t long before Rooster was known as the brother of Basketeer. From the ver first his congeniality of disposition, his ness of purpose, his friend- liness, Hon for him a warm spot in the hearts of his classmates He believes in keeping in a state of prt- aredness, and experience has taught the inquisito profs that he is never found otherwise. He prep-ed al Portsmouth High School and spent several years at Randolph Macon College. What A. Neal doesn ' t know about most of the colleges in Virginia isn ' t H ' orth knowing. Emory and Henry first claimed his attention. He remained there long enough to uin a Declaimer ' s ' IedaI and then took Hampden-Sydne b storm. The atmosphere at this sedate and conser a- tive seat of learning was not to his liking, so he betook himself to William and Mary. Even William and Mary didn ' t suit his fas- tidious taste, so he decided to give V. P. I. a trial, where he remained for a session, winning meantime a n o t h claimer ' s Medal. the De- NORWIN CHARLES EVANS K Z; A ; W. F. Chicago, Illinois Chick attended the Rockford High School in Illinois and the Kentucky Military Institute, and was introduced to the charm of Virginia in the fall of 1913, when he entered Washington and Lee Uni- versity. He spent one year in the Academic School preparing for the onslaught upon the battlements of Tucker Hall, and while there he won a reputation for the facility with which he took down grades. Chick was on the Ring— Turn Phi Staff during the 1913-14 session, on the Calyx Staff in ' 14, was Associate Editor of the Calyx in ' 15, and was manager of the track team in 1914-15.

Bob, or ' ■ Satchel ' as we call him, is a living ex- ample of the inefficiency of ■ lur naval system. He was refused admittance to the . aval Academy because of a defective ear drum. Think of it, gentlemen, our navy is now undermanned some eighteen thousand men, and they gave Satchel the cold shoulder at Annapolis because he had a defective ear drum. He attended Smithfield High and the U. S. Naval Academy Prep. and also spent a year at the University of North Carolina. JAMES HEREFORD McGINNIS Z X; A A Beckley, West Virginia Mac has long been known as a handsome ladies man. What time he could neglect from patrolling Main Street he put in studying law. Entering Washington and Lee in ' 11 he matriculated in Tucker Hall in 1913, having grown tired of the academic struggle. Mac is a good representative of the man who comes to college to live as well as to learn. He expects to practice Law in his native State. 49 FRANK DEANE COE, Jr. K ' 3 ' ; A Lexington, Virginia Frank is one of the natixc inhabitants of Lexingimi, where he saw the liL;lit of the world for the firsi time on March 20, iN.j . After spending four years in the Academic School aiul receiving his B. A. Deprcr, he transferred to the I aw School in 1914, where lu- has put in two years of hard labor and will re- ceive his pardon in June, to be turned loose among the legal luminaries of his native town. HENRY MORGAN PATTON K. A. Newport News, Va. We have often wondered why Morg was so popu- lar with the ladies, and the ladies with Morg, but we ceased to wonder when we found out that he was born in Kentuckj ' . His popularity with the fair sex has not interfered, however, with his work at Tucker Hall, which has been of a high order.

With his auburn-crested dome, Red radiates that atmosphere of romance that we generally associate with locks of roseate hue, and we dare say that Tooth was some ' hat of a Romeo in his day. A glance at Red ' s Life and Career leads us to believe that educationally he is prett ' equipped. He is a graduate of Mannington High School and of Fair- mont State Normal; he tarried for a while at the Naval Preparatory School, and spent a year at the T ' Javal Academy. Hot Springs, Ark. To look at Ray ' s curly head and cherubic counte- nance, you wouldn ' t think that he was a left-over from the reign of Mikel. But it is a fact, however, that Ray is one of the few of the old guard that remain to tell us with reminiscent sadness of the glories of ye olden days. He entered Washington and Lee in 1910, with the Class of ' 14, but Ray ' s love for his Alma Mater was too strong, so September, 1914, found him among the matriculates in Tucker Hall. ROBERT M. CURTIS AH Roanoke, Virginia Prominent in newspaper work and a star performer on the track team. Bog is one of the scintil- lating members of the small coterie in the class comprising those who have combined with their law work a course in campus activities. Coming here in ' 13 from Texas A. and l.. Bob immediatel) ' con- tributed his newspaper knowledge to the Ring-Turn Phi, and his athletic ability to the cinder path; and both have profited greatly by the contribution.

SI JEFFERSON FRANCIS WALTERS 2 E; A e ; M.C Onley, Virginia Jeff was a student at Washington and Lee as far back as 1907. Graduating in 191 1, he taught school for a while and then betook himself to the City of Washington, where he ate heartily of governmental pie, and having had his fill, he decided to take up a more substantial diet, hence his presence at Tuck- er Hall among the matricu- lates of ' 14. We don ' t know what degree of success Jeff attained in his gov- ernmental capacit} ' , but we do know that he has been wonderfully successful as a student of Law. PAUL RYRIE SCOTT A X P; Ji V p Alton, Illinois A great admirer and staunch supporter of the administration, Paul has no patience with those who wail and complain that things have gone to rack. A sure enough legal light is Paul Ryrie. His keen, quick-working mind grasps easily questions both diffi- cult and intricate, and though not a hard student by any means, his record is one of the best in the class. Paul is a Northerner, having been born in Alton, III, Aug. 27, 1895. Gradu- ating from the Alton High School, he spent a year at the Lniyersity of Pennsyl- vania, entering Washington and Lee in ' 14. GEORGE HENRY WILLIAMSON K ' ; A t Charleston, West Virginia Because of his tendencies toward loquaciousness, which early became manifest, George was, by common consent, elected President of the Sphyn.x Club, and ably has he filled that ofBce. Saying little but doing much, he has plodded his weary way through the maze of legal intricacies in the Burksian labyrinth without losing his way a single time. A few more plods, a few more turns, and the prize will be his. His preparatory days were spent at Blair Academy, and his training in the arts and sciences was acquired at Hamilton College, from which institution he received his A.B. 52 SK T H t : C A.

Laurence made his debut in Real Property last year by propounding to Pro fes- sor Moomaw a question so involved and complicated that the worthy professor had to take refuge behind the doctrine of in pari delicto conditio defensis potior est, and ask that the question be squashed. Laurence hails from alli- gator land, having been born in Jacksonville, Fla., I ' eb. 21, 1894. Duval High School looked after his in- tellectual welfare prior to his coming to Washington and Lee in ' 14. JOSHUA EBOC BUCKLEY, M. C. Buckeye, West Virginia Buck, with his cacophonous cackle, his leonine, Websterian head, his low, slow, deliberate speech and his constant hustling and bustling, is one of the most distinctively individual members of the class. A loyal supporter of the G. O. P., Buck has vainly endeavored ever since his arrival to get some assistance in raising the poor old Republican elephant from the mire of innocuous desuetude into which the demands and req uirements of a progressive age have dumped him. Before coming to Washington and Lee he attended Wesleyan Academy and Wesleyan College.

The Graham-Lee Liter;M Society claims him as member. Salem, Virginia He spent the early part of his collegiate career at Roanoke College, where he gained quite a reputation as a pitcher and an orator. Baseball pitcher and orator — a strange combination It might appear at first glance, but not so strange perhaps when we consider that both a pitcher and an orator sling, fling, or throw something. He has lived the life of a studious stude during his two years here, and except for an occasional dip In the pool, and playing a little baseball In the spring, burning the mid- night oil and exercising his lungs in Graham-Lee Hall have been his chief sports. GUILFORD STANLEY WATSON Port Gibson, Mississippi Watson thinks quite well of the Virginia Court of Appeals, as is evidenced by the willingness, the celerity and the cocksureness with which he hastens to concur in its decisions. Give him a good chew of Red Apple and he Is good for three hours of steady application. He agrees with President Smith that a man should lead the expanding life and grow upward, outward and downward. He attended the Chamberland Hunt Academy, Port Gibson, and entered the Law School In ' 14. He Is a member of the Washington Literary Society and at the annual celebration acted as secretary. As Watson himself puts It, he expects to follow the grand old profession of law. 54 You will find P. K. at the library when the day dawns and you will find him still there when L. Williams is ready to bid the ponderous tomes good- night, and yet, in spite of this fact, he is known as ■quite a ladies ' man among his friends. It seems some- Tvhat anomalous, to say the least, that a man can assid- uously court the law and the fair sex at the same time, but anomah or no anomaly. P. K. has done that very thing to the queen ' s taste. He spent several years at the Newport News High School and rounded out his training at the Mount Hernon Boys ' School of Massachussetts. ' De.xter, although he i Henry is the anchor man in the Dotson, Peery, Kiser trio. If the lives of great men remind us that we can make our lives sublime, and departing leave behind us footprints in the sands of time, then Henry need not go far for reminders. His middle name, as you note above, is JeiTer- son — I have said every- thing when I have named the man. For the benefit ■jf the curious we might say that Henry is a grad- uate of Wise High School, that he entered Washing- ton and Lee in ' 14. BYRUM PERRY GOAD, M. C. Hillsville, Virginia a resident of Hillsville, Carroll County, irginia, is one of the most peace- ful and peace loving members of the class. He believes strongly in his convictions, and once he gets hold of a conviction all the king ' s horses and all the king ' s men couldn ' t separate it from him. He graduated from the Hillsville Htgh School, and after attending Milligan College for a year he came to Washington and Lee, enterina the Law School in the fall of ' 14. Before entering the Law School he was Deputv Clerk of the Circuit Court of Carroll County. He was one among the few junior lawyers to pass the State Bar Examination last June. He expects to practice his profession in his home town. 55 illie Lee is one of those fortunate mortals who have the happy faculty of pre- paring for an examination the night before, and sliding by the next morning with- out getting up a sweat. At W. and L. he starred on the forensic gridiron, being win- ner of the Annual Oratorical Contest in 1914. In the fall of the same year he entered the Law School, and since that time he has assiduously applied him- self to the almost hopeless task of trying to analyze the psychological intrica- cies of the female mind and trying to locate the famous status quo. Rosy ' s entrance upon the campus is altogether a matter of tradition. Pioneer inhabitants like Ned Gra- am and Eddie Parke Davis say that he has been : since the memory of man runneth not to the con- trary, and if that be true, then Rosy has a valid claim on a Degree by right of proscription. He drank M the dregs, the Cup of College Life under Mikel, and he is now engaged in blowing off the Cream from the mug which came in with the reign of Henry L Athletes and athletics are his particular hobby. EDMUND MAGERS 2 X Memphis, Tennessee Ed is the illiam Brown of the Law School. Firmh ' con ' inced that a little learning is a dangerous thing, Ed has drunk long and deep at the Pierian Spring. Examinations, the bane of the student ' s existence, have no terrors for him. He treats them as mere commonplace occurrences; furthermore, he receives the information that he has made ninety-eight or nine on an examination with the sangfroid and nonchalance of a Lexington belle receiving an invitation to the Lyric. He is a loyal member of old Wash., and this year has won the unique distinction of making the alternate ' s position on both debating teams. 56 ICaut (LiasB ©ffirprs Baldwin B. Bain . Emory P.

Historian .57 THK CALYX lOJlO g -r= = g:g QIlaBB l tatnrij TAKING into due consideration the importance of the undertaking upon which we embark, that of worthily portraying the history of the Junior Law Class, we ask you to deal with this presentation as fair and reasonable men. We will first say for ourselves that we have enjoyed and do enjoy being to- gether. All sorts and conditions of men melt in the classroom crucible — degree men, young men, hard students, close adherents of Billy Higgins, and pater fa nilias — all are bound together with the common purpose of treading the baffling mazes of legal wisdom in quest of an elusive sheepskin — the golden fleece will be gained later. While from one viewpoint, the way appears toilsome and our brains are sorely taxed, yet the facts whereon are based our opinions are susceptible of a double aspect and there remains a brighter outlook. We think of the battle — ambition vs. inertia — the subduing of knotty problems, the juggling of a legal question in mid-air b} ' the professor, and the discomfiture of those who offer badly-aimed solutions, the interest with which we await the true answer (often so different from our own), these serve to add zest to the legal game — a game which grows more fascinating as we obtain a more passable master}- of its rules. Out of the classroom we have interspersed pleasure with due diligence, ' e have gone in squads to the P. 0., and we have toiled into the early watches of the night in a room where benign legal lights adorn the walls and where lights of another kind shine in our eyes from many angles; we have snatched moments of refresh- ment on our expansive front porch and we have strained our ej-es copying questions from the blackboard as the shades of evening fell fast. In college activities we have been represented in many lines in intercollegiate debates, on University publications, on the dance floor, in the musical clubs, in . AI. C. A. circles, in literary societies, in pool room contests, and in other phases of athletics. Last fall, around election time, we exhibited some very pretty racing — in one race the victor winning by a head. In our contest with the Senior lawyers, we came off second best, but the}-, we must remember, made use of an e.x- arsity basketball expert to win their game. In constructive work, the class cast its influence in favor of a wider applica- tion of the Honor S}-stem b} ' having its spirit pervade class recitation, as the fol- lowing attests: Be it Resolved, That we, the Juniors of the Law Class of 1917, hereby express our unqualified disapproval of the practice of referring to text or note books while reciting (except where the professor is willing to allow such refer- ence), believing this to be subversive of, and contrary to, the spirit of the Honor System. Even now our class gives indication of future greatness. Xo stretch of the imagination is required to see senatorial laurels upon the heads of some, the resting places of said wreaths being rendered more secure b} ' artistic tonsorial effects which adorn the wearers. A few seem to have strong S8 leanings for the Pullman and Ostermoor Companies. One Junior stands undecided before law and opera, with inclinations urging light comic opera. We can picture the future skirmishes before the Bar when we appear in the interest of the right which the law seeks to protect; then we shall bear in mind the words which shall still be ringing in our ears: Let go. Say something. We will most logically present our case, ever bearing precisely on the point at issue, supporting our contentions by cases on all-fours therewith. Opposing counsel will be flabbergasted. Calmly, deliberately and with due forethought we will proceed, closing our appeal to the Court thus significantly: ' e leave to Your Honor that we have established our case in every essential. ' ill we win.? Most assuredly. Will our fees be commensurate with our abilities.? Here we get on close ground. But as to this point, quaere. We have observed much and if we in ) ' ears to come would make use of our observation we would do well. From one preceptor we would get ease of manner, a courteous urbanity and a logical attack of a case which would be of inestimable value; from another we would get an exceeding clearness of statement and presen- tation which generates for itself a gripping interest; from another we would secure a cogency of thought backed b}- a virile force which would carr - strong conviction; and from another we would get an untiring de -otion to law and its intricacies, a conscientious discharge of duty, and a mind keenly attuned to the fine points of the law, painstaking in its investigations, clear in its conclusions and arrangement of the law. In the future we hope for the same unity and the same camaraderie which has marked the course of our class in the past. With renewed vigor we shall return this fail and pull together for a Degree and subsequent conquest over the Bar. Historian. 59 THK CALYX 19ie (dkBH Inll R. P. Adams . B. B. Bane, $ K 2, $ A $ E. P.

He is a member ol Graham -Lee Lit Soli and the Harry Le Club; Harry Lee Sec Crew, ' 15. He has f hopes of becoming in M in the future. John is a quiet chap, and •-ince he has been with us tor one year only, little is nown about him — especi- as he never voluntarily s, ' ives any information con- cerning himself. He was born in Elmwood, North Carolina, on October 22, 1894. He first attended Elise High School and then entered Davidson where he remained for three years. He came to W. and L. in 1915. John has not decided what he will do after June. WILEY DAVIS FORBUS Zeigleville, Mississippi Here ' s another who has succeeded in capturing his Degree in three years, coming here in 1913. Not that the faculty makes a practice of giving them at this time, but before they were aware of the fact, Wiley had taken about all of the necessary work and was looking for more. His status quo is overwhelminglv corpulent; some prefer to call him a piece of humanity, let ' s say a large piece. He played Class Football, ' 13; Glee Club, ' i4; Y.M.C.A. work, ' 14, ' 16; E.xecutive Committee in 15; Assistant Manager, University Supply Store, ' 15; Reception Committee, Final Ball, ' 15. 65 T H K CALYX I U 1 a eine carried off „__ the honors at Parkersburg High School and Marietta Academy, and entered W. and L. in 1912. He stil continued his pursuit of scholarships and succeeded in running down a Politics Scholarship in ' 13; Latin Scholarship in ' 14. The last feat alone will class him above the ordinary student. He expects to study Law. THEODORE BRYANT LEITH Mountville, Va Leith lives in the Biologv Laborator} ' . He was not given enough of that work here, so he took the Biologv Courses at Har ' ard Med- ical School in the summer of ' 13. He comes from Alountville, where he was born, Jan. 4, 1894. H entered W. and L. in 1912. Leith rowed on the Harry Lee Crew, 14, 15; played Class Football, ' 13, ' 14, 15 ' ; and won the Biologj ' Schol- arship, ' 13. He was also Assistant in Biology, ' : 3- ' 14. He will continue to study Medicine. RALPH FERRELL e A K New Martinsvil le, West Virginia New Martinsville, W. Va., was honored by the arrival of this shark on the seventh of July, 1894. This title is given to Ralph for various reasons, the chief of which is that he thinks nothing of making ggK on Spanish. (Sounds too prepish , n ' est-ce-pas. ' ) Other reasons, that since entering W. and L., in 1912, he has received a German Scholarship in ' 13; a Geology Scholarship in ' 15, and the Bradford Scholarship in ' 14. Ralph will take up commercial work. 66 HORNFR CHARLES FISHER K 2; ri A X Washington, D. C He entered W. and L in 1913, and immediately took upon himself many lines of college activities; especi- alh hard study. Who is not a grind in something ' That he is talented along various lines is shown by the following: Ring-Turn Phi Staff, ' 14 - ' 15; Albert Sidney Crew, ' 15; Soph- omore Basketball; Young Scholarship, ' 15; Calyx Artist, ' 15; Pres., Albeit Sidney Boat Club, ' 15 - ' 16; Vice-I ' res., Senior Class. Horner intends to go to the University of Penn- sylvania, to study AilI tecture. Lexington, Virginia This enlongated high- lander would compare fav- orably in height with anv man in the Universit He arrived at Tazewell, a , Jan. I, 1893, and evident!) led a very quiet life for a few years. He attended Henry and Emory Acad- emy, but soon tired of pass- ing his valuable time in such a place and, in 191 1, turned his footsteps to- wards Lexington. Frank was out of school in ' 14, but returned this year to obtain his Degree. He will dispense learning to future generations. HARRISON PHILIP MAGRUDER II K A Woodstock, Virginia Harry began his existence in this place about 1894. When next heard of he was at Massanutten Academy, from whence he came to W. and L. in 1912. Harry is very modest and one sees him little, but he will be much in evidence when the Degrees are handed out in June. He was on the Editorial Staff of the Southern Collegian, ' 15, ' 16, and played Class Football, ' 16. He is undecided about his future work. 67 Some time back, Brun wrote a most enlighteniiu- biographical sketch of hi personal appearance for his English professor; the grade revealed a diversil of opinion, and since then Bruce has ceased to lean on his personal vanity. He has shed it — not hi handsomeness, but his idea 3ruce took his preparaton education at Darlington School, and arrived at and L. in 1913. Since then he has been the busict man here. He was Hi-, torian of the Freshman Class; Ring-Turn Phi Stall, ' i3- ' i4; Ass ' t Editor, Ring- Turn Phi, ' i4- ' i5, ' i,5- ' i6 Samuel hails from Cum- berland, Va., and the date of his birth was Aug. 3, 1893. Loudly-conspicuous- for-his-taciturnity is the chief characteristic of Sammy. Since coming here in 1912, he has shown marked litera y ability. He was Pres., Washington Lit. Society, ' 14; Editor, South- (•rn Collegian, ' l5- ' l6. He «on the French Scholar- ship, ' l3- ' l4; German Scholarship, ' i4- ' i5. Sam- uel is undecided as to what he will do after he gets his Degree in June. MIKE SHOFFNER CANNON Shelbyville, Tennessee Mike was born at Shelbyville, Tenn., Oct. 2, 1S92. This much of his history is certain, but it would take a regular Sherlock Holmes to trace his preparatory education. It has been found out, however, that he attended Bedford Institute, Smith ' s Grove Institute, and Brandon Training School before entering Washington and Lee. Here he has made good in everything he has undertaken. He was Cel- ebration Debater for the Washington Literary Society, ' 16; Class Football Team, ' i6; Calyx Staff, ' 15, ' 16. Mike will be a teacher. Monticello, Arkansas Dave was born at Mon- ticello, Arkansas, Xovem- ber 19, 1S96. He came to Washington and Lee from Union University of Jack- son, Tennessee, in 1915- Little is known of his record there, but his good record here, both in and out of class room, w-ould indicate that it was the best. He is fellow ' , anyway, and we are sorry that he leaves us so soon. Dave intends to become a physician. Lexington, Virginia William was born at Kunsan, Korea, Ma} 28, He attended C. I. l. B. S. (whatever that may be) at Chefoo, China, before co ming to the U. S. After his arrival in this ntr} he proceeded to Fredericksburg College, and came to W. and L. from that place in 1914. He has been a-hustling ever since, as his record will show. He was Chief Marshall, Gra- ham-Lee Lit. Society, ' 16; pla} ' ed Junior Basketball; Captain, Senior Football Team; Albert Sidney Boat Club; X ' olunteer Band, and Chemical Society. He will become a medical mission- CHARLES EDMUND WORTH A 3 P; A X P Tampa, Florida This orator was born at Tampa, Florida, Sept. 30, 1895, graduated at Hillsboro High School and then matriculated here in 1913. Edmund has been in evidence as a star suicider in basketball. He has a look which savors of determination in a mean way. He won the Washington Literary Society Orator ' s Medal, ' 15; on the debating team, vs. Tenn.; Pres., Wash. Lit. Society, ' 16; Soiilheni Collegian Staff, ' 16; Class Basketball, ' 14, ' 15; Senior Football; A ' aledictorian, ' 16. Charles was awarded a Politics Scholarship in ' 14, and the James McDowell Scholarship in ' 15. He will probably study Law. 69 CHARLES LYNCH CHRISTIAN ATA, n AN; S; C C; I3 Lynchburg, Va. LmicH was born Lynchburg, Va., in Oct., 1S93. Lynch contentls he is twenty-three, but c have no record on what planet he has passed thai extra year. He attendee Lynchburg High School ane Woodbury Preparat(ii School before coming I W. and L. in igi2. Sinee that time he has ne Lr missed a dance, and is ciui- sidered the best dancer at W. and L. Lynch was on the Harry Lee Secone Crew, ' 15; Vice-Presidcnl Harry Lee Boat Club, ' 15 ' 16; Leader of ' 13 German, ' 15; and on the Executi a Committee, Final Ball, ' 1;. Richmond, Va. He is from Richmond, ' a., and he has a jubilant mouth. Doctors claim he hasn ' t Saint Vitus Dance. You can always tell when Johnnie is around, be- cause joy and good nature seem to come with him. He attended Richmond Academy before coming to V. and L. U. in 1912. Here he Immediately began to give evidence of his pres- ence. Some of his honors are: Captain, Class Foot- ball, ' 12, ' 13; Ca ptain. Junior Basketball, ' 15; Var- sity Football, ' 14, ' 15; Var- sity Baseball, ' 13, ' 14, ' 15; Captain, Baseball, ' 16; Manager, Basketball, ' 16. LAWRENCE BATTLE BAGLEY i A B; 11 A X; Z; O A K Fayetteville, Tennessee W. and L. takes off its hat to this young man from Fayetteville, Tenn. For three years this light- weight battled with the scrubs against the giants of the Varsity. But he never gave up hopes, and his persistence was rewarded, for in his fourth year he became Varsit} ' quarter-back, and directed a vic- torious team. That ' s the reason why every one calls him Battle instead of Lawrence. He has also been on the Varsity Baseball Team; was Sec ' y-Treas. of the Student Body, ' i4- i5, and Captain of the Scrub Football Team, ' l3- ' l4. 70 his advent at W. and L. with that age on him which is sometimes called sweet sixteen.

Lucian says life work is undecid poor fellow! — he probab contemplating matrimon Preston comes from Clif- ton Forge, Ya., a town made popular by students and behind-time trains, a very material handicap to any young man. A very im- portant event, both to him and to his birthplace, hap- pened on April 21 for he will some da} ' be a great scientist. He grad- uated from Clifton Forge High School and entered W. and L. U. in 1913. Preston is quiet, but has proven his ability by ob- taining his Degree in three years; incidentally taking the Lab. courses possible. ALBERT LUTHER BENNETT Louisville, Mississippi Albert is extremely partial to the literary societies and any activities connected with them; hence, he talks an infinite deal of nothing. He was born at Louisville, Miss., Sept. 20, 1890. His preparatory education was begun at French Camp Military Academy, and then, after spending a year at Mil lsap College, he entered W. and L. in 1914. Here he has been Vice-Pres. of the Washington Literary Society; Orator, ' 16; Y.M.C.A. Cabinet, ' l6. He also won the U.D.C. Scholarship. Albert will enter religious work in the near future. 71 Twig came into the world at Fincastle, ' a., Feb. S, 1S92. It is trul ironical that one should he called Twig ; but some- one has to be a twig on a genealogical tree. After attending Randolph-Macon Academy at Fort Royal, he came to V. and L. in 191 1. He has played ' arsity Baseball, and everybody knows him for a good fel- low, even though he does not try to impress one A ith that fact. He will become a farmer, and should be a successful one. 1 ruly. it is hard to say anything about one who has been so much in evi- dence in all lines of college activities. An all-round athlete himself, Jiggs has placed W. and L. on the map in the athletic world. The following hon- ors will show what W. and L. thinks of his ability.

Among the schools he attended before coming to W. and L. are: Worcester High School, Williston Academy, Dean Academy, Mercersburg, Syracuse, Bucknell, and many others. Bill ' s honors are too numerous to mention in detail, but from the following it is evident that he is one of the athletic pillars of the University. Bill was Pres.

Joseph cannot be blamed for coming from Meridian, Miss., or for being born on the 22nd of Feb., 1895. His reasons for being are as two grains of wheat in two bushels of chaff, — etc. However, he has shown his willingness to attend a reg- ular school by coming to W. and L. in 1913, from the LIniv. of Miss.

How- ever, they will before long, for David is thinking seriously of writing a book on the Problems of Trans- portation, or some like subject. He graduated from the Alleghany County High School at Cumberland, Md., and entered W. and L. in 1912. He was on the Albert Sidney Crew, ' 14, ' 15; Class Football, ' 13, ' 14, ' 15; ice-Pres., Albert Sidney Boat Club and Maryland Club. Dave will take up graduate work. EDWIN BESWICK SHULTZ r A; n A X; A K Lexington, Virginia During the past four years whenever there was anything hard to be done, this young giant was called upon, and he did everything well — from managing the Supply Store, in i4- i5, to serving as Pres. of the Student Body, ' i5- i5. Ted was born at Logansport, Ind., and came to W. and L. in 1912 from the Logansport High School. The football stars immediately began to fear the loss of their positions — and their fears were well justified, for Ted was one of the mainstays of the arsity in ' 12, ' 13, ' 14, and was Captain, ' 15. He has also been prominent in the track team and basketball. Ted will enter Y. LC..A. work. 74 MS T u ]•: C V L Y X 1 U 1 c. lEngin ritiQ ClaBB (ifltrpra M. A. Derr . J. A. Lee S. H. Showell C. P.

But Aby didn ' t stop there, for he was cut out to be a leader of men and, in ' 14- ' 15, he became President of the Junior Class; in ' i5- ' i6 he was re-elected president of his class, which was now the Senior Engineering Class. He has been a member of the Maryland Club, in which he ser -ed in ' i2- ' i3 as historian, and in ' i4- ' l5 as vice-president. Last year, Arthur led the Junior Prom. He intends following Civil Engineering as his life work. 76 LACY LAMBERT SHIREY, M. C.

He has been a very active member of the Washington and Lee Chemical Society, the Albert Sidney Boat Club, and a member of the .Masonic Club, in which he is a Knight Templar. Shirey was secretary of his class while a Sophomore. He gets his Degree this spring and intends to become either a civil engineer or a chemist. n TiJ r: c A T. -x I n i T H i: C A I.

SAMUEL GWYN COE, B. A. Edinburg, Virginia Far be it from the historian to attempt t o reveal any facts about this youth, for he obtained his B.A. Degree in past ages — 1909, to be exact. And as the bo -s of the good old days have all departed, his record in those vears will remain a secret. It has been ascertained, however, that he was born at Blacksburg, Dec. 28, 1888. He entered W. and L. in 1906. After a few years absence he returned in 1915, which is only another example to show that sooner or later they all come back. Samuel will enter the ranks of the teachers; sympathies in order. 80 RUPERT NELSON LATTURE, B. A. B K; OAK Bristol, Tennessee Rupert is probably the dean of the class. At least it is presumed that he is, for he neglected to give the date of his birth, a fact which explains some otherwise inexplicable eccentricities. He entered VV. and L. in 191 1, and obtained his B.A. in 1915. These are some of his many honors: Pres., Y.M.C.A.; Vice-Pres. of the Student Body, 16; Valedictorian, 15; Pres., ' a. State Oratorical Association; Pres., Graham-Lee Lit. Society; stroke on Albert Sydney Crew; Manager of Combined Crews; Debater vs. Univ. of Pitt.; Instructor in French and History.

This sad saying is even more true of the Class of 1917 than is wont to be the case. In September, 1913, we invaded the campus, one hundred and seventy strong. The passage of a year saw our number cut in half; the passage of a second, but a fourth of old guard holding true to Seventeen. As a result, the faithful few have had to labor under great difficulties in maintaining the high record previously set. But we have undergone the tempering of the vengeful paddle and the responsibility of the care of a Freshman Class; and the training, we hope, has been sufficient to enable us to uphold worthily our class traditions. In every branch of college life. Seventeen is found well represented — on the intellectual as well as the football gridiron, in basketball, track and baseball, on our college publications. In Cy Young, captain of basketball and track, captain- elect of football, winner of countless monograms, and the most versatile athlete, perhaps, who has ever worn the white and blue, we possess a man of whom the whole student body has cause to be proud. In addition, Bryan in football, Burton and Wadsworth in basketball, Fox, McNitt, Sanders and Gladney in track, have all added materially to W. and L. ' s athletic successes in past years and give promise of continuing to do so in the future. And not only in athletics; two managers of publications, three members of the athletic council, secretary of the student body, several members of the glee club and other college organizations, all have the honor of enrollment with the Junior Class. Such has been the past record of Seventeen — a record which we have worked diligently to attain, which we will work as diligently to maintain, and which has been continually inspired by our wish to do as much for W. and L. as she has done for us. 84 T U K C V L Y X i U X O mnsB Snll F.

Historian I 87 THK C VLYX 19XG (!lla0B l tatnrg Jfe are the Sophomores! And ive are proud of it! The Freshmen fear us, the upper-classmen revere us! IN September, 1914, we first came to W. and L. — a hundred and eighty strong, and although toils and tribulations have caused some of our members to fall by the wayside — gone but not forgotten — our ranks still o ' ertop the hundred mark. And now, in order that there may be no misunderstanding in regard to our class, we will simply give the bare facts. The portals of this noble school have never before opened to such splendid flower of manhood, such cream of the South, as poured through its doors in September, 1914, under the title of the Class of 1918. In short, we are the best ever. Don ' t } ' 0U believe it. ' Then listen: The innumerable honors won by the class as Freshmen — how it won the Class Football Championship — how one of its members outran the undefeatable Cronly — how it led in representation on the Varsity fields of athletics and the intellectual gridiron — you may find admirably treated by our worthy historian in last year ' s Calyx. Our limited space will permit us only to enumerate the accomplishments of 1918 as Sophomores. The Pushball Fight at the beginning of the year proved unfortunate for Nine- teen-Eighteen, and we were defeated by the Freshmen in a hotly contested battle. Our Class Football Team proved hardly more successful, but we are willing to concede these minor defects. Nineteen-Eighteen views a broader horizon than that bounded by class limits. We love our class, but first comes our school, and for her we have expended our strength and poured out our heart ' s blood. To the football team we contributed Pierotti, all South Atlantic center; Sweetland, halfback; Sorrells, fullback; Graham, Ramey and Izard, ends; and to the Scrubs, McKenry Camp, Watts and others. In basketball, Nineteen-Eighteen has two regulars, Graham and Pierotti. In track, Hallman and Pierotti star, and on the diamond, Pierotti, Graham, Sweetland, Collins and Jones are counted among the mainstays. On November 29th, it was the honor of Nineteen-Eighteen to open the Dore- mus Alemorial Gymnasium with the Sophomore Cotillion, at which time we made our debut into society. The dance was a brilliant affair, participated in by seventy couples and led by the class president. The Sophomores are also predominant in the musical clubs of college, and have leaders in the classroom and on the debating teams. It is also our distinction to number in our ranks the biggest man in college. In short, we are the best ever — and now, you believe it. We, the Class of Nineteen-Eighteen, sincerely hope that we have contributed to the welfare of this University and towards maintaining the standard of ' ash- ington and Lee. . We hope that we have set an example of good fellowship, patriot- ism and good behavior that it may behoove the oncoming classes to follow, for we feel that we, as a class and as individuals, have derived benefits of infinite value from our life at this University; and in this student body, benefits which we trust will evidence themselves in future greatness — all to the glory of Washington and Lee.

The first chance we had to give evidence of our prowess was in the annual Freshman-Sophomore Pushball Fight. It is significant that in this first chance we were entirely successful, overwhelming the Sophomores 47 to o. Fort} ' -seven to nothing is enough by which to beat any Sophomore Class, but the score might have been larger had it not been for the uneasiness felt for what the night might bring forth. Immediately after the Pushball Fight, realizing the fact that we were the ma- terial from which the Senior Class of Nineteen was to come, we decided to organize ourselves into a class. A meeting was called for that purpose, resulting in the elec- tion of J. B. Waters, President; R. M. Cabbell, Vice-President; M. P. Sutton, Secretarv -Treasurer; J. A. Witt, Executive Committeeman, and C. M. Peale, Historian. Early in the year it became evident that the Class of Nineteen was to be well represented in athletics. Several members of the class starred on the Varsity. Barrett has won a name for the University, the Freshman Class and himself, by his wonderful work in the backfield. Picked by a number of newspapers for the All-South Atlantic Team, and mentioned for the All-American, he proved himself to be the most prominent man in the class, athletically. Bethel, in the line, was one of the strongest men on the team, and won his monogram by his hard work there. The same two men gained regular places on the basketball team; two of the five places thus going to the Freshman Class. We went the Pushball Fight one better by winning the Inter-Class Football Championship, having as a fitting climax a decisive victory over the Sophomores. This last game was a great joy to the Freshmen, for it gave them a chance to retaliate in some measure for the compulsory track practices and other compulsory forms of exercise. It was a Freshman who startled the old heads b}- winning the hundred-yard dash at Johns Hopkins indoor games — beating two of his teammates for first place. The same man, Henke, with Cromwell, constituted a big half of the winning half- mile relay team. Two Freshmen, Powell and Moore, made the Cross-Country Team. The majority of the substitutes on the various teams were taken from the Freshman Class. We have started well in our career.

Since the advent of Delta Sigma Rho, the forensic honorary societ}-, and as a result of the renewed activities of the Debating Council under the leadership of Dr. G. D. Hancock, this interest has been stimulated to a greater degree than ever before, fore than thirty men competed for places in the two preliminaries this year, and the attendance at the Pittsburgh debate in the chapel, though not what it might have been, was gratifying. Of the two intercollegiate contests held this year, the first was staged with Trinity College, at Durham, N. C, on February 26th. The team representing Washington and Lee was composed of D. A. Falk, W. J. Cox and Charles Kupfer, with an alternate team including Edmund Magers, Samuel Wofsy and J. D. Owens. The question, which was hotly contested on both sides, was as follows: Resolved, That the Proposed Administration Policy of Preparedness is for the Best Interests of the United States. A ' ashington and Lee supported the negative in a highly creditable manner, and the newspapers were unstinted in their commendation of the White and Blue representatives. The decision of the judges was rendered in favor of Trinity by a two to one vote. 109 This debate marked the last of a series of three annual debates between Wash- ington and Lee, and Trinity, the latter having won in 1914 and 1916, and the former in 1915. The contest with the University of Pittsburgh was held in the Lee Memorial Chapel on March nth. The Washington and Lee representatives were R.N. Latture, S. M. B. CouUing, Jr., and P. R. Scott, backed by an alternate team consisting of Edmund Magers, G. P. Wilson and Gus Ottenheimer. The team from Pittsburgh was exceptionally strong and had alread}- participated in several debates earlier in the week. The argument s were based on the question: Resolved, That an International Police Force Should be Established to Enforce International Treaties and Agreements and Preserve International Peace. Washington and Lee main- tained the negative, and although the debate was at times very close, the local men scored a two to one decision over the visitors. Both W. and L. teams were under the leadership of Coach Morris Masinter, to whom much of the success is due. Next year it is possible that at least three intercollegiate debates will be ar- ranged for, and thus a still greater opportunity will be given to the forensically inclined. c- .V L V X 1 y 1 o G. R.

Bryan 154 EfBum ot ason ttovLtU izlrnrk SEVEN victories, a 7 to 7 tie with Indiana University, a defeat at the hands of the Cornell Champions, and the 1915 foot- ball season passed into history as one of the most successful in the Generals ' gridiron career. It was not, as have been the past two seasons, one of heavy scores on the side of the White and Blue, but, rather, one filled with eleventh-hour come-backs, brilliant forward passing, spectacular individual work, and haunted with that ever-present jinx which for several seasons has hovered over Washington and Lee elevens even in their hours of triumph. The name of Elcock, coach, stands out as perhaps the greatest factor in the team ' s success; but coupled with it are also the names of Coaches Raftery and Donahue, Captain Shultz, Barrett, Pierotti, Young, Bagley and, in fact, the whole General eleven. Neither must Manager R. B. McDougle be forgotten, for financially the season was eminently successful. The season opened in Lexington on September 25th, with a meager 14 to o victory over Davidson, the ele ' en failing to develop a drive and the two touch- downs coming in the second and fourth periods. However, with Young shifted from halfback to quarter, the team seemed to imbibe new vigor, and in Lynchburg on the following Saturday swept the boasted eleven from West Virginia Wesleyan off their feet with the score of 20 to o. In this game, Barrett ran through a broken field 75 yards for a touchdown after receiving a punt. The next week, Marshall College was downed 27 to o, on Wilson Field, while on October 1 6th, the Generals journeyed to Roanoke to defeat the ancient rival, W P. I., 13 to o. The Techs played on the defensive practically throughout the entire contest, onl)- attempting to hold the ' hite and Blue to as low a score as possible. The Generals, however, received a serious blow in the loss of Quarterback Young, who left the game for the rest of the season with a fractured collar bone. The diminutive Bagle}- relieved Young, and went in as quarterback in the W est irginia battle in Charleston on the next Saturday, to guide the team then and for the remainder of the season. This game was forfeited to Washington and Lee. ith the score standing 8 to o against them, the White and Blue rallied and in the second half scored a touchdown in short order. In the final quarter, the ball was advanced 36 yards on a forward pass by Captain Shultz to the i-yard line, and another goal seemed inevitable. At this point, West ' irginia, displeased with the decision of the referee, withdrew from the field. siTuitj The next contest was with Indiana University, resulting in a 7 to 7 tie. Indiana scored a touchdown from the initial kick-off, but was unable to register another. Sweetland scored for the Generals on a sen- 11 sational reco ■ery of a forward pass behind the goal line. H Jj The home season closed w ' ith the game against Roanoke College in Lexington on the following Satur- day, the White and Blue triumphing by the score of F ,77 21 too. - Cornell was next met in Ithaca, and the Generals J suffered their sole defeat — 40 to 21. went decidedly in the Generals ' favor, though they had only the bare margin of a 21 to 20 score. John Barrett, of ashington and Lee, made one of the most spectacular runs in the history of football, when on the kickoff he ran over the full length of the field through the entire Cornell eleven for a touchdown. The Generals, however, were not able to withstand the terrific batter} of the Cornell attack and succumbed in the second half. The season closed on Thanksgiving Day, in Norfolk, with the overwhelming defeat of the North Carolina Aggies — 48 to 13. At no time were the Generals in danger and they were allowed to score at will. The score of A. and M. game gave Washington and Lee the right to the South Atlantic Championship by comparative scores with irginia and Georgetown, the only other possible contenders for that honor. The first half Aaat (Cnacli Saftrrij .r; THK CA LYX lUXG Ted concluded his sparkling gridiron career as captain of the champion Generals. Although handicapped by injuries, his sen- sational blocking of punts and deadly tackling featured the defensive displa , while his receiving of the forward pass was spectacular on the offensive. Shultz was a great aid to the backfield in opening up inviting pathways in the enemy ' s line, and by his accurate clipping, cleared the way of many would-be tacklers. He was also proficient in diagnosing plays and smearing the opponents behind the battle line. The climax of his career came in his last game, that with A. and AI. at Norfolk. Here he scored the last touchdown of the season and his first in four years of brilliant football. He was chosen unani- mously on the All-South Atlantic eleven, and received mention in the Ail-American pick. A. Iff. Ipirrnttt Count Pierotti, pivot man of the mighty Elcock eleven, has won the reputation of being the best all-round linesman that has ever appeared on Wilson Field. His accurate passing enabled fhe back- field to develop its maximum speed. Pounding and smashing his opponent with indefatigable energy, Al blocked many punts and tossed the backs for losses. During his two years at Washington and Lee, Al has outplayed every center he has come up against, includ- ing the Ail-American center. Cool. His stellar performance gained for him the choice of All-South Atlantic center, and mention on the mvthical AU-American eleven. ffi. 1. laglpu Having withstood the vicissitudes of scrub life for four years. Battle was rewarded by being called upon to fill Young ' s shoes at quarter, after the latter had been injured. Here he directed the tactics of the Generals for the remainder of the season in a marvelous fashion, and showed that he was one of the best field generals in the country, for so well did this little bunch of energy and nerve acquit himself that he was given mention among the Ail-American selec- tions. The midget with his cool and steady head was a remarkably accurate goal kicker, a good forward passer and a daring tackier. Although weighing but one hundred and twenty pounds, Bag has the distinction of not having missed a single scrimmage, nor taking time out, for the four years that he has performed at Washington and Lee. 158 ' !■ U I . C .V L Y X i S) 1 G Cy, the speed demon of the Elcock line-up, was forc ed out of actual service with a dislocated shoulder received in the V. P. I. melee. Up to the time of his injury he cavorted at quarter, living true to his former reputation and proving himself an important cog in the 1915 machine. Fast, steady and alert, he was always able to get gains from his backs and then still more from himself. Efficient at planning the attack, a wonderful punter and a spectacular broken field runner, he was an ideal backfield man. 31. W. Sarrrtt Johnny ' s advent into college football was a brilliant one. He was a wonder when it came to dodging and spinning through a broken field and he developed into one of the stars of the Varsity squad. In the Cornell game, Barrett ran the length of the entire field through the whole Ithaca team for a touchdown. This powerful back was a good line plunger, and with the use of the stiff arm and elusive spins baffled the opposing tacklers. He was a marvel at forward passing, and a good punter who rounded out the backfield of the Generals in sensational stvle. g-. M. (Sraljam After serving a year on the Scrubs, Merc landed the coveted trident. Used in the capacity of relief man he more than filled the requirements of the emergency and always performed in a creditable style. Graham is a hard worker and full of fight. His ability to receive passes was proved on may occasions. Alternating between tackle and end his playing was equally consistent. IS9 T H K C V L V X JL O X c; [2 1 if. (6. uirrtlaitb Buck was easily one of the most brilliant halfbacks playing in the South. His clean-cut gains through the line and in the open field were the result of his great speed and ability to dodge the oppos- ing tacklers. His wonderful ability to consistently pierce the oppo- nent ' s defense with his low-shooting, shifty runs. On the defense he was also consistent, making him one of the most valuable of backs. i. . S ' oxrtllB Johnny, the consistent fullback of the crushing General clan, made a brilliant debut into Washington and Lee football circles, proving himself one of the sturdiest, strongest line plunging backs in this division. On the defense, his specialty was hitting the runner as he came through, and at all times he backed up the line in great style. Between his line plunging and defense he is an ideal back, cry fast and able to stand the pounding of the season. 31. S. Jzarh Holding down a wing position for the second season, Jim per- formed in unusual style. He is big and powerful, fast in getting down under punts and a deadly tackie r. This smiling flanker was very adept at receiving forward passes, and his work in boxing and smash- ing interference gained for him the reputation of one of the best ends in the South. i6o THK C J-.YX lOiO S. TB. 3lg,mca Playing his first year on the arsity, Bob clearly established his claim as running-mate of Ted Shultz. When occasion demanded, he opened yawning holes for his backs and was a tower of strength on the defense. His tackling, blocking and general playing was a distinct feature in each battle. He was very aggressive and quick at diagnosing the attack of the opposing teams. 1. i. Iruan Battling at left guard for the mighty General team, Te.x was a bulwark of strength both on the offensive and defensive. His terrific charging threw many backs for substantial losses, and his speed in getting down under punts cost the opposition many gains. Br ' an was one of the most aggressive and dependable men of the season. After a gruelling fight. Turner landed a regular berth at right guard on the arsity. Always fighting hard and fast, he was a terror to opposing linesmen. On the offense, very few opponents could prevent his opening holes for substantial gains, while strong and aggressive defensive work made him an important factor in the success of the Generals. This is his first year at Washington and IjCc and he shows great promise for the future. i6i TUK CA.LYX lyXO 3. M. Imguiall ■ ' Yank played his second on the Varsity, alternating at right guard. When he threw his bulky frame against opposing lines they always gave way to his might. Yank answered the distress signal on many occasions and filled the job in an efficient manner. Handi- capped by injuries sustained in the early part of the season, he was unable to give full evidence of his potential energy. i. IC. IfarrtHflit This native Virginian played his second year at end on the Var- sity and played havoc with the end darts of the opponents. Johnny shone brilliantly at receiving forward passes, and was effective at boxing opposing tackles and breaking up interference. Graduation will rob the Generals of the services of this valuable player next season. S. 1. iirlouglp Equally important in the success of the 1915 season was Manager Bob McDougle of Parkersburg, V. Va. He provided for the Generals the best schedule that has ever been given a Washington and Lee team; arranging conflicts with teams whose defeat meant the cham- pionship, and always alert as to the welfare of his team. By efficient management he finished the season with a neat surplus. AH praise to the greatest football manager that Washington and Lee ever had. 162 T Hli C xV L V X X tH G QIaptatu f mtitg Basketball S[: THK CAI.YX 1916 gSe 191H H. K. Young .... J. L. Harrison ....

In some of the battles, the quint displayed remarkable form, puzzling their opponents with dazzling passes and spectacular shots, but many insurmountable handicaps retarded the progress of the team. Illness and injuries worked havoc with the lineup on many occasions. Stewart was forced to retire during the early part of the season, while disabilities prevented Barrett and oung from entering several of the frays. To add to the arduous task of Coach Bill Raftery, only Captain Cy Young and Al Pierotti of the 1915 Varsity, and Shultz, Burton and A ' adsworth of the reserves, reported for another year of service. Of the new men, Barrett, Bethel and Graham performed most brilliantly, while Farrar, Dorgeval and Craig rendered efficient service on the second string. With less than two weeks of practice, the Generals suffered 3 a 30 to 26 defeat at the hands of West Virginia University. ashington and Lee made a strong come- l. , back, and on the next game overwhelmed ttiiacii Knftrni George Washington University with a 37 to 20 count. Having hit their stride, Raftery ' s henchmen out- battled the Richmond College five in an exciting contest — the score being 31 to 26. With the two regular forwards, Bar- rett and Stewart, out of the game, Roanoke College adminis- tered a 24 to 17 defeat. This was followed by the annual clash with the Universitv r.f Virginia five, in Lynchburg. This conflic; was hotly contested on both sides, and Yir- ginia emerged with a bare 29 to 24 victorv. Trinity was the next opponent, being van- quished by a 33 to 19 score, while in one of aiarn-tt the snappiest games on the home court, Xorth Carolina bowed in defeat — 25 to 18. The home season came to a close with Xorth Carolina A. and AL, }-ielding a 25 to 17 victory. On the annual invasion of the North, the White and Blue basketers encountered six of the strongest teams in that sec- tion, but won only one of the strenuous conflicts. The first contest with the Navy went to the Middies, 26 to 15. The .166 ffirllirl team imbued with new vigor, humbled Catholic Universit}- in an exciting battle b}- the score of 24 to 19, while the next contest was dropped, 53 to 26, to the Swarthmore College five. On the following night a 31 to 25 defeat was suffered at the hands of Seaton Hall. In this game, Captain Young received a severe cut on his right hand which disabled him for the re- mainder of the season. The strain of the trip began to tell on the Geneials, and Manhattan College registered a 28 to 18 victor}-. The season ended with the Cit}- College of New York which gained a 39 to 19 decision. There were three first-class forwards on the regulars, but owing to illness, Stewart r , . ' ■ • Cftraham was iorced to gn ' e up a promising career earh in the season. Johnny Barrett was the mainstay at the forward end of the field, which without him would have been distincth ' lacking. After a short absence, due to a persistent attack of boils, he came back strong and eager for work. liis pla ' ing was spectacular and steadily up to snuff throughout the whole series. With Stewart as his team-mate at the White and Blue goal-post, it is thought the number of baskets would have been larger. Bill Farrar, though not having an opportunity to appeal in many games, displa}-ed a real ability to handle the ball on the goal-throw. Much is expected of Farrar next year, as he clearl}- gave evidence of true basketeer ability. The remaining candidates for the forward position ac- quitted themselves well, and at times the various other men were shifted from their regular positions to that of forward. Count Pierotti, erstwhile football star and idol, and leading twirler for the arsity Baseball Team, stood out pre-eminently at the guaid end of the ffoor. The Count plaved bis 1111 5 ' luUI second vear this season and showed a dis tinct improvement over last }-ear ' s career. He covered the entire floor and was a part} ' to every passing rail}-. His man never escaped him for a moment, and his defensive tactics were ever-present. Pierotti also registered quite a number of long shots for the basket, coming to the limelight in a pinch with a spectacular throw from the middle of the court. The Count will head the Generals next }-ear as their captain, and if determination and the doggedness of a born fighter count for an -thing, the White and Blue quint should clean up in I9i6- i7. 167 li CALYX X y 1 G The other prominent figure at the guard end was Captain C} ' Young, playing his third season on the Varsity Five. Cy is an all-around athlete and a star in every sport that he enters. As guard, he was swift as lightning on the defense and a master artist with the dribble. Often he carried the ball the entire length of the floor single-handed for a goal at the finish. Young will be seen again next year on the team. Turner Bethel, evidencing superior dex- terit}- and agilit}- in guarding the goal of opponents, was another of the guards. Turner is a Freshman and promises to be a real star next season. Hlabsiiinrtli , , ,..,,, At center, honors were divided between Ted Shultz and Mercer Graham, with Graham slightly the better. The critics pronounced Graham, who is a lad of onl eighteen winters, an able and forceful artist of the game. His speed enabled him to play the whole space of the court and still cover his opponent at center. In several games he carried the burden of defense, and carried it well. Graham is also playing his first year at basketball and is a promising candidate for the I9i6- ' i7 season. Ted Shultz, laden with the laurels of a brilliant football career during his four • -ears under the White and Blue standard, proved himself a shining light as a bas- keter. In spite of his tall and muscular build, he was unusually adept in handling himself and his position. This is Ted ' s Bargruai [ g season, and the devotees of college sports deeply deplore his retirement from the arena where he has won so manv honors.

Seven defeats in the eleven games embracing the schedule were administered by the opponents of the Generals. The 1915 season was one of the most disastrous in a decade. The White and Blue showed great possibilities at periods, only to have hopes crushed at the next encounter by a miserable display of tactics. The 1915 campaign was ushered in with an overwhelming defeat by Lafayette. The Penns ' lvanians buried the Generals under a 15 to I count. The gloom that overcast the camp of the Generals was summarily dissipated when Washington and Lee, by virtue of Jennings ' dazzling pitching and timeh ' hitting of the wrecking crew, blanked Cor- nell University, 6 to o. In this game, Jennings held the Cornell nine to two lone singles, both of which fell to Bills. Over a week intervened before the next battle was scheduled, and during that period the followers of the Generals were full of bright speculations as to that which the future would offer. Washington and Lee, with strong hitters in Bailey, Harrison, Young, Rives and Colville, and a likely twirler in Jennings, seemed invincible. But this indulgence in optimistic hopes was short-lived. Michigan, in- vading the South, swamped the Generals when its heavy sluggers forced the pitchers of Washington and Lee to retire under avalanches of wallops. The first encounter was won by the score of 19 to 12, and the second, 14 to 2. The University of North Carolina added another move downward when the Tarheels hammered out an 8 to 2 victory on April 20th. The Generals countered against North Carolina A. and M. six days later by winning a rally — 8 to 4. The results on the Northern trip — the final manoeuver of the season — were scarcely better. At Blacksburg, Washington and Lee gave the ' irginia Polytechnic nine (at that stage with a record that was lacking in a single defeat) the worst scare of the season. But, by virtue of a rallv, the Techs triumphed in the tenth inning, 9 to 8. Following this battle, the Generals spurted. St. Johns was beaten, 6 to 4, while Jennings manhandled Catholic University, 3 to I. The remaining games with Villa Nova and the Armv resulted in defeats for the Blue and White. 170 Coach Donahue was confronted with difficult situations from the outset. The schedule embraced several other games, but, owing to postponements and can- cellations, only eleven contests were played. The long waits between conflicts did not serve to aid the teamwork, and it was this failure to work as a unit that cost Washington and Lee man}- decisions. The Varsity was without the proper experienced battery. Jennings, the only veteran pitcher, was not consistent. At times, he showed rare form, but generally was erratic. The other pitchers — Pierotti, Graham and Hastings — were lacking in poise and experience. Batting records compiled showed that Baile}-, Harrison and Young batted over .300 for the season. But, as a usual event, the Generals could not hit safely at stages when a safety would have turned the tide of battle. It was this lack of teamwork afield and the failure to hit at critical stages that characterized the fleeting season. Bailey, at first base and in the outfield, was the leading hitter. He slugged •375 or the entire campaign. 171 laspball quaJi, 1915 Frank Colville, Jr. F. J. Beckwith L. T. White ..... E. A. Donahue (Washington and Lee) F. G. Sweetland W. H. Jennings A. L.

Over a rough local course of 6 4 niiles. the White and Blue won the South Atlantic title over irginia and . P. I., Johnson scoring first place. During the rough weather of the winter, the cinder path was discarded for the gym floor. The first meet at George Washington, resulted in a vic- tory for W. and L., the tearn winning four first places and twenty-eight points. At the Johns Hopkins Meet, a week later, the Generals were not so fortu- nate and placed fourth with six points. The George- town Meet closed the indoor season, with Washing- ton and Lee standing third. Three outdoor meets were engaged in during the year. The first was a dual meet with V. P. L at Blacksburg, in which the Cadets were victorious by the scant lead of 60-57. The feature of the contest was the sprinting of Harry K. ( Cy ) Young, who set two new records when he stepped off the 100-yard dash in 9 4-5 seconds, and the 220-yard dash in 21 4-5 seconds. In this meet, W. and L. registered eight first places to their opponent ' s five. In the big championship games at Johns Hopkins, W. and L. entered only five men in six events. The result was fourteen points and fourth place for the Generals. Hallman landed the only first place for W. and L., overtopping the vaulting mark at II feet, 1- 4 inches. Three existing ' . and L. records were bettered. The track season closed with a dual meet at Johns Hopkins which was lost, 58 to 46. W. and L. was unable to cope with her opponents in the middle distances, but showed up handsomely in the sprints — Young winning the 100-yard dash; Curtis, the 220-yard dash; Shultz, the 220-yard low hurdles; and Pierotti and Captain Buck Miles capturing the shot-put and discus throw, respectively. 176 X a K C . L Y X J i) 1 O Kk ®l)p KntprBrltnlaBttr Srark ilrpt THE third InterscholasticTrack and Field Games at Washington and Lee were held on Wilson Field, May I, 1915. The event was as decided a success as the first two meets, and several records fell before the prowess of the young athletes. The Interscholastic Meet, inaugurated at Washington and Lee by Dr. J. W. H. Pollard, and developed and perfected by Coach Forrest Fletcher and the student track management, has proven an interesting event in the athletic life of the College. The meet was the only one of its kind in the South until last year, when the University of Virginia followed on Lambeth Field the excellent example set by Washington and Lee. In 1913, the meet was participated in by twenty schools from seven States, the laurels going to the representatives of Brooklyn Poly Prep of Brooklyn, N. Y. In 1914, the number of participating schools increased to twenty-five, representing eleven States. Keewatin School of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, won the next meet by the large margin of fourteen points. One hundred and twenty-three versatile prep school athletes, representing twenty-three schools from nine different States, appeared on Wilson Field, May i, 1915, to contest the honors of the third meet. Five records were smashed by the speed and stamina of this galaxy of preparatory stars. By virtue of the sensational sprinting of Elmer Smith, Mercersburg Academy of Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, captured the championship plaque with a total score of 32 1-3 points. Woodberry Forest School of Orange, Va., ranked second with 22 1-3 points. The sprinting of Smith was the outstanding feature of the contest, and to him was awarded the individual point trophy. oung Smith shattered two records when he sped the 220-yard dash in 22 3-5 seconds, and the 440-yard dash in 52 3-5 seconds. Records were also bettered in the mile, shot-put, and half-mile events. McCall, a diminutive but virile youth from Woodberry Forest, pressed Smith hard for his honors, while Paul Devereux of Tome School, Maryland, captured the pentathalon, an event instituted last year. The relay races, two in number, made the day of sports complete. The military rela} ' was neatly won by Greenbriar Presbyterian School of ' est Virginia; Bloomfield, N. J., High School winning the open race and incidentally setting a new mark of 3:33. Preparations are under way to make the Interscholastic Track and Field Games still more successful in 1916, and the next meet promises to eclipse former ones in skill and interest. 177 3n iE momm aiun? 22. 13B9 Mm 13. 1315 aa T u K c . . 1.

AL Thomas !SBSS!aHB8SR- l h:t •M ' y d r iU- THii c LYx lyiu imm a Inat lacf, 1915 KEYED with wild enthusiasm, and spectacular throughout, the thirty-eighth clash between the Harr} Lee and Albert Sidney Boat clubs resulted in a brilliant victory for the Harry Lee oarsmen. Of the thirty-eight strenu- ous contests, the Harry Lee shell has earned the decision twenty-one times, while the Albert Sidney craft has won the laurels in seventeen conflicts. The line-up of the participants for the 1915 struggle shows the Reds to have had the advan- tage of veteran experience, with the two crews equally matched in weight. Al- though battling under this handicap, the Blues were nosed out by only a scant margin. With the island and the banks of the river packed with frenzied spectators bedecked with the banners and ribbons of the opposing crews, the race began shortly after six o ' clock. Just before the regatta started, Jupiter Pluvius made his appearance, but neither dampened the wild enthusiasm of the cheering crowd nor hindered the exhausting efforts of the oarsmen. The Harry Lees were backed as prevailing favorites in the first crew match, but the Albert Sidneys loomed up with a more stubborn resistance than was anticipated. As the starter ' s gun sent the oars slashing into the water, the Red shell jumped into a slight lead, but the shorter stroke of the Blues carried to the fore by a narrow margin. At the curve of the river, the Blues had maintained this advantage. Hit- ting a terrific pace, both fours were putting every ounce of power and might into their oars and working with a startling harmony. When the two shells swept into the final stretch, it was obvious that the finish would be close. Twenty-five yards from the tape, the oarsmen were burying their blades with a renewed vigor, but better off after the terrible strain and exhaustion, the Harry Lees crept into the lead inch by inch. The tense excitement of the crowd burst into vociferous yells as the Harry Lee shell shot its nose under the tape, winner by one sixth of a boat length. The second crew match was decisive in outcome, the Albert Sidney craft got away to a good lead at the start and maintained its advantage to the finish, when three boat lengths separated the two shells. 184 T UK C .V L V X 1 S 1 C. fiXBi) lall iFtgltt, 1915 CONTINUING the tradition begun in 1900 of an annual conflict between the Freshmen and Sophomores, the Classes of Nineteen-Eighteen and Nine- teen-Nineteen staged upon the blood-stained plains of Wilson Field, a struggle replete with ferocious and barbarous actions. The first of interclass clashes at Washington and Lee was in the nature of a Roof Fight — the Sophomores entrenching themselves upon the heights of the Main Building, defiantly flaunting their banners and resisting the stubborn charges of the Freshmen. This mode of combat proved very dangerous to the participants who retired in favor of the Street Fight, which was almost as dangerous although less spectacular. The era of the Bowl Fight was next introduced as a means of increasing the patronage of the drug stores and doctors. However, this gave away to the more modern method of mutilation — the Pushball Fight. In the fall of each year, the Freshman and Sophomore classes array themselves in battle to contest their war-like abilities. The fight this year resulted in a 47 decision for the Freshmen. At the crack of the referee ' s gun, the two warring elements crashed with a tremendous thud, hausing the big six-foot pill to groan from the strain. First the giant spheroid covered around one goal and then the other, until finally the Freshmen rushed it over the line for their first counter. They gained another touchdown after further strenuous battling. The fight was furious throughout, presenting a grotesque scene, a conglomerate panorama of tattered stragglers, stray arms and legs, scat- tered shoes and shirts. No fatalities resulted from the fray, although the campus was adorned the following morning with many limping Freshmen and subdued Sophomores. 185 THK C-AI.YX 191G faHhitt tnu ait SI?r tn Inhm (tlron grntt COsbnuni THERE has been observed in recent ' ears a growing tendency among the more prominent universities and col- leges of this country to link themselves in an active manner with one of the greatest projects of all times — that of missions. Starting with Yale University, some years ago, a large number of institutions have raised sufficient money to place on the firing line of foreign missions one or more of their representatives. The man selected is generally a graduate of the school sending him and his support is contributed entirely by the students of his Alma Mater. Following the Mott Campaign in 1914, a number of leading men in the ashing- ton and Lee University Student Body voiced the opinion that W. and L. should also be represented in this altruistic movement. The plan was put before the student body, enthusiastically endorsed, and a large number of subscriptions made. Owing to various conditions, only part of this money was ever secured, but during the past fall, a campaign led b} ' Arthur Rugh of China was inaugurated among the students of the University, which resulted in an increased awakening of enthusiasm for the plan and the subscribing of over twenty-two hundred dollars a year for three years to support ' ashington and Lee ' s representative. The University may well feel proud of the man who has been chosen to represent Washington and Lee. Cleon Scott ( Pat ) Osbourn, ' 09, is a man well known to all who have been in any way connected with Washington and Lee during the past decade. Entering the University from his home in West ' irginia he soon rose to a promi- nent position in all student activities — a brilliant scholar, a monogram man in football, basketball and crew, and a leader in all Christian work of the University. Leaving Washington and Lee in 1909, Pat taught for several years and then entered the Yale Theological Seminar}-, from which he graduates in June. He plans to sail for India and the scene of his life work in the early fall. With a representative of the calibre of Pat, Washington and Lee ' s participation in the world-wide plan of advancing the Master ' s Kingdom seems assured.

CALYX IDIO An Apprmatton To THOSE members of The Calyx staff who have worked, we first express our apprecia- tion, for without their aid it would have been impossible to publish the book. Only those who have had a like experience can understand how much the cheerful willingness of a few dependable staff members can lighten the work of compiling the book. But aside from these, there are many others who have given valuable assistance. To Dr. H. D. Campbell we are indebted for the sketch of Dr. Jas. Lewis Howe; R. G. ' ance, Jr., and Stanley W. Duncan contributed to the art work; while many students have made suggestions which we have seen fit to accept and which no doubt have added something of merit to the book. The various articles throughout the volume were written by those who are vitally interested in the campus life of the University, and while they may not meet with the approval of some, we ask the reader to remember that there are other viewpoints besides his own. Without claiming credit for the more admirable features, the Editor assumes all responsibility for the imperfections of the book, of which we are conscious there are man ' . 239 T UK C .cV L Y X 1 y X G iO Kl tatr Ollubs T UK c .V L V X 1 y 1 (; 3LZZ] A.

Rather than have the unsuspecting students mistake the faculty list for the membership list of Alpha Sigma Sigma, it was thought best to give some explanation in regard to the excuse for the existence of such an organization and also in regard to the part that the faculty plays at W. N. L. Practically every college and university in the country has at present some kind of faculty. The custom was begun in the dark ages and became so well grounded that even in modern universities where a large and competent student body exists, there is always a faculty representation, although there may be no apparent reason for it. Naturally a leader, W. N. L. could not afford to be behind in the matter, and consequently has kept pace with the movement. The prerequisites of W. N. L. faculty members is a speaking knowledge of golf and a respectable set of goH sticks. Under the full professors there are asso- ciate professors whose only requirements are one golf stick and an enthusiastic interest in the subject. The instructors in each department have as their sole duty, attendance at the local golf matches and payment of the golf club dues. The assist- ants who are subservient to anj one of the above-mentioned authorities, are responsible for the real work, which consists of estimating class grades and calling the roll at the laboratory hour. Owing to the fact that the golfers of Lexington have formed the habit of playing only in the afternoons, a schedule of classes has been drawn up in order to provide some form of diversion for the professors during the morning hours; attendance at these classes is optional. The faculty at W. N. L. occupies a rather unique position, which comes as the natural result of the existence at the University of the famous and feared animal, the automatic mule. This animal is kept at the University to awe the students into a submissive state of mind and to impress upon outsiders the rigid require- ments of the curriculum. It is the duty of the faculty to keep a close eye on the delinquent students at the end of each term, and in case any poor unfortunate comes in such close proximity to the animal as to be laid low, to immediately set the fallen member on his feet again. The restoration of the fallen is accomplished by means of grades on which the mule thrives in a state of contentment. Conse- quently, when an assistant makes an error in interpreting the grade curve, it is the duty of the professor to raise the grade to the degree required for the appeasement of the animal. This action is compulsory only in case the student so requests — otherwise, it is optional. There is a movement on foot to abolish the faculty entirely, but so far the student bodv has remained totallv indifferent towards the matter. 258 DREAMERS !

When Herr Farrar first breezed up the main street of Lexington, pushing his new car b}- the steering wheel, there were many who stood aghast and cried, Ach Himmel! Who in the hell would have thought it! But the wise ones only re- marked, Ach so, Naturlich, and the intimate friends of the doctor declared that it was no surprise at all — that the doctor had had the idea for a long time, — in fact for years he had had wheels in his head. ' hatever the prelude, the fact remains that Herr Farrar is now the proud possessor of a buzz wagon from whose front seat he views with pitying glance the lowly pedestrian who wearily wends his way among the walking multitudes of the common herd, while he with t he lordly air of a Barney Oldfield stirs the dust of Old Rockbridge at a five-mile pace. 260 raiC STR.VLYX l!)JLO Athletics For many 3-ears, W. N. L. has made a gaining fight in the athletic world and now a glorious future seems to be opening up for her. The old barbarous sports are gradually being rooted out and cleaner and saner ones are coming in to take their places. Many improvements have been made in the athletic equipment which will undoubtedly work to the great advantage of the vast number of students who are taking up this phase of college life. In the gymnasium, the use of the hand-ball courts was accompanied by such boisterous conduct that Dr. Schollard, the guardian angel of the building, was forced to close them to the use of the students. However, the courts will be re- modeled so as to be available for playing Authors. The arsity Chess Squad has supplanted the brutal game of suicide basketball and has turned out many finished athletes during the past session. The tennis courts have been screened in, because the shocking attire of some of the players grated on the sensitive nature of some of the faculty members. Croquet has been substituted for the uncertainties of baseball, and the wisdom of this change was clearly seen during the late match with Southern Sem. Wilson Field has been greath ' enlarged and improved and, incidentally, has been changed into a golf course. Although this change was primarily for the benefit of the faculty, members of the student body who have maintained a con- sistent grade of 95 or above, will be allowed the use of the course from six to seven on Saturday mornings. This favor was granted at the urgent request of Dr. Shan- non who insisted that the sport was a vast help in the acquirement of a broad vocabulary. The Compulsory Gym classes have been done away with and in their place Dr. Smiff conducts a two-hour daily course in dreaming. Before graduation, the student must be capable of experiencing the delights of a pipe dream without the aid of this filthy apparatus. On alternate da ' s, the class goes through the exercise of the expanding life. So far there has not been a single casualty from over- expansion. The greatest asset of the athletic department is the overflow in the treasury. As explained two years ago, the campus tax compels every student to possess an athletic ticket, thereby automatically increasing the revenue. Since the advent of the campus tax and the establishment of the University Supply Store, there has been no cry of hard times in athletics, and each branch of sports has received such liberal appropriations that the respective managers have been taxed to arrange a schedule that would expend the funds. 261 K Tin-; WTU.VLYX lOlC. The Swimming Pool In planning the new gymnasium, the chief object of the swimming pool was to prolong the summer joys of old North [River into the chilly days of winter, and thereby provide an avenue of exercise for that class of students commonly known as Fish. However, with each Saturday night came an increase in the number of swimming pool fans, which goes to show that with proper equipment even the Saturday night ablutions cease to be a matter of routine dut}-. The great variety of forms displayed in the ranks of the water bugs would do credit to any Grecian Art Gallery, while the diving feats of some of the more am- bitious would no doubt arouse the envy of Annette Kellerman. As SOOX as Dr. Smiff became President of W. X. L., there was an immediate boost in track athletics which has aroused such enthusiasm and interest that we are now able to boast of a track team that will compare favorabh with any self-propelled mechanism in the countr}-. In the early fall, the candidates were taken to the East Lexington railroad bridge where every man was given a fair tr} ' -out by being required to run at full speed across the trestle. Those who failed to fall through the cross ties were con- sidered eligible for the team. As a result of this ordeal, the track squad was weeded out to two men, Buster Camp and H. Sutherland. Coach Fletcher contended that there was too much material for a track team, but at the insistence of Red he began the work of rounding his crowd into shape, and before the close of the early season had the whole squad showing unusual form. Sutherland, a native of Hillsville, ' irginia, constituted the cross-countr}- and relay teams. With careful dieting he soon trained down to two hundred and fort} pounds, and in the annual cross-country contest with Loch Laird High School he covered the entire course of six miles in two days, twenty-eight seconds. At the East Lexington National Track Meet he scored a decisive victor}- over the House Mountain Relay Team who failed to show up, thus forfeiting the race. Fletch considers him a well-rounded track man and an ideal running mate for Camp. Hailing from the Land of Sunshine and Flowers, Buster is a constant reminder that sipping the aqua from the Fountain of Youth has no detrimental effects upon anatomical development. When Coach Elcock first viewed Buster ' s avordupols blocking the entrance to Wilson Field, he had visions of offering impregnable de- fense to any team in the country, but it was soon found out that having Buster in the line threw the backiield too far to the rear, so Buster had to forego the exercise of his alligator propensities and expend his surplus energy in Forrest Fletcher ' s domain, where his pole vaulting has excited the envy of man}- a steam shovel operator, while in the high hurdles and standing broad jump he is considered one of the big men of the sport. 263 ini: STRALYX i9xe Address of Welcome to New Professors Gentlemen: — It is with the greatest sincerit} ' and the utmost satisfaction that I welcome you to my University. It is to such men as you that I look for the advancement of all those plans the culmination of which will place W. N. L. in a class all by itself. You are voung and should easily be moulded to conform to the present administrative policies. As Acting President, it behooves me to outline for you the work that is expected from you and to warn you against those tendencies which in the past have made it necessary for me to change the personnel of my faculty. First of all, you must never forget that to you as well as to children applies the exhortation to be seen and not heard. In all matters of importance and questions of doubt, come direct to me for instructions, for otherwise you are placed at a dis- advantage by receiving them indirectly. In the course of your sojourn here it may some time be necessary for you to confer with my President concerning dis- agreeable matters which would necessitate a direct and committal answer. You will find him in his office across the hall — enter and give the pass word, Ole Arrie, by which he will recognize you as a professor — otherwise he may mistake you for the janitor. Your duties consist in attending your classes when you are so disposed and faculty meetings when it is deemed permissible to have you. Your vacation is yours to do with as you please — extend it or take it whenever you are so minded, but if not inconvenient you will notify me of your intentions. Examinations are held three times a year. At the beginning of each term, you will immediately check up youT roll book and grade your class for the entire year in order that we may make out at once a schedule, devoid of conflicts for the automatic rule. If you have progressive ideas, stifle them, for they do not chime in the same key with my own opinions, and insistence on your part will secure for you a better position in some institution of learning. In your classroom, be always considerate of your bovs and never do or say anything that might offend even the least one of these. In your conversation, avoid the term, student government, and sup- press all those students who have a tendency to liberal views. Finally, always remember Who ' s Who — forget, and out you go. But on the other hand, bear jn mind that if you are subservient, who knows but that you may soon be called to be the figurehead in one of the administrative offices after I have been made President.

Four years he had been at W. L. Tho ' the time didn ' t seem so long — But he hadn ' t been much of a student. For somehow things always went wrong. No matter what good intentions he had To begin work in earnest next day. Bill didn ' t fit in with the Honor Men, He just wasn ' t built that way. On the Intellectual Gridiron, He wasn ' t much of a star. For he never could bluff the kind of stuff That it takes to get that far. He always passed his tickets — He studied some, ' tis true — SI But he didn ' t believe in studying. When there was anything else to do. He never worked Sissy ' s test problems To find why the world turned about, For he knew the world would con- tinue to whirl, If he didn ' t figure it out. He didn ' t alwa5 ' s attend Granville ' s lectures. To doze in a crowded room, For what was the use of going there. When he could sleep just as well at home! In chemistry he was often marked absent When the names in the roll book were read, But three blocks away on lecture day He heard every word that was said. He had missed a good deal in Biology, By cutting classes and such, But those that had been there every day Hadn ' t learned so very much. 266 sruAl.VX iMic, As for Tommy Farrar ' s German — Ach so, Sehr Gut, Jahwohl ; And in French he had even done better. By remembering the jokes that were told. Of Latin, The pie and the rabbit Constituted solely his store; But most of those who had Latin Didn ' t seem to have learned any more. From Percy Shannon he hadn ' t gained much, Tho ' to gain he really did try. Prohibition seemed to be his theme — His lectures were alwa- -s drv. From Liv Smith and Mary Jane Han- cock Sarcasm emanated. So he picked up the sarcasm With the teaching eliminated. And when it came to Slouch and Judas, It ' s sad, but just as true — He couldn ' t remember a single thing That he had learned from these two. Then Bill thought of those other boys, The boys who are called the Sharks Who never ceased to study and bone, Their one ambition, high marks. He remembered their doleful faces That seldom broke in smile, Their dejected air and distant stare, As if nothing were really worth while: And he thought of what they were missing, By keeping themselves shut in. And his heart was full of compassion, For those so-called Honor Alen. Thus Bill mused within himself: — I know Fve a lot to deplore. But if it makes ' em that sad, then Fm damn ' glad I never have learned anv more. 267 THl ' : STR.VI.YX i91C. Minutes of a Meeting of the Board of Trustees Blue Hotel, Jan. i, 1916. After the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, and a hurried discussion ' of plans to raise the endowment funds and to increase the number of students, the |j] current gossip concerning student scandal was taken up and dealt with at length. _ 1 Hurryingdown Towardhell, as Chairman of the Committee of Hearsay evi- k dence, reported that he had been in consultation with General Nick of the ir- ' ' ' ' ginia Military Disrepute, who had laid before him the following facts, which had been brought to his notice by the Corporal of the Cuspidors, who had received them direct from the assistant janitor: On the morning of the V. X. L. Final Ball, 1915, the entire student body of the University, in company with their female escorts had appeared on the parade t: ground to witness guard mount. The attire of the assemblage was shocking to the highest degree. Most of the young men wore pajamas, despite the fact that evening dress was scarcely appropriate at such an hour. Some of the young ladies in the , oft-repeated scant attire, seemed in a state of complete exhaustion and reclined upon the manly forms of their intoxicated escorts with pretzel-like embraces. ||jjj) Others of the }-oung ladies, in a more boisterous mood, had amused themselves iJ while waiting, by playing leap frog, turning somersaults, and walking on their i hands. Although General Nick vouched for these performances, he admitted that || I he had not had the pleasure of seeing them himself. The Board adopted the report ' : i without investigation and voted a note of thanks to General Nick for his kindly interest in the matter. From the members opposed to dancing in general, a com- mittee was appointed to consult with Mr. Ted Schlitz, President of the Student .i Body, to arrange some method by which the disgraceful visits to the parade ground could be eliminated. The next list of acceptable scandal was disclosed by a letter from Mr. Hamil ton of the Supernatural Bridge, who stated that on the morning following the Final Ball, several of the dancing couples had journeyed to his hotel, bringing with them numerous kegs of beer and countless quarts of liquor. At the hotel they had all crowded together in one room in such close proximit - to each other as to make the Black Hole of Calcutta seem like an open air sanitarium. Arriving about break- fast time, they spent the night in unseemly carousing, and immediately after the meal departed in a state of wild derangement for Lexington. Mr. Hamilton stated that he knew all the members of the party personally, and in proof of all he had said could produce dozens of whiskey bottles and two barrel staves from one of the kegs emptied by the party. The Board received the letter graciously and asked the secretary to continue the correspondence. After an animated discussion of the Fancy Dress Ball, the meeting adjourned.

She will no longer sing the praises of the great vocalists or harp upon the merits of Cortese, but will devote her time and energy to the production of an entirely new enterprise. Having a strong desire to aid Lefty Louie in maintaining the Cream at a standard of 9934% pure. Miss Annie has decided to stage during the month of November, a full week of cereal entertainments, presenting with un- usual Force all the great Nuts who have received favorable mention in The Saturday Evenim Postum. On A ' londay Night, Dr. Grainful Calomel will deliver his salivating lec- ture, Bull as an Antidote for Lisom- nia. ' ' The Bovine Bugle of Balcon Falls, where Dr. Calomel last delivered this masterpiece, says in commenting: The orator is a man of unusual ability, sure of his words and calm and syringe in his delivery. On Tuesday Evening, Mile. Judise Hogue will appear in the wonderful Grecian interpretation of The Dance of the Seven Veils, in which Mile, displays remarkable form. Wednesday Afternoon, the movie fans will be given a great treat in the famous, photoplay, Boozing Along, featuring Bill Henson in nine con- tinuous reels. This photoplay rivals the well-known Birth of a Nation in that the chief attraction is the orchestral accompaniment by the trio of violinists, W abbly alker, Geo. G. Dregg and F. Henly Ginbreath. On U ednesday Night, Dippy Doc. appears in the little tragedy, Credit at the Coop, in which he has starred for the past two seasons. The climax is reached in the third act when Doc. is seen trudging along over the dusty , ' roads peddling a nobby line of W. L. jewelry, and constantly wheezing to himself, A Kohen in the hand is worth two in the Bush. The tragedv is immediately followed by the de- lightful little farce, Bum Boosting. The Playlet opens with the ensemble chorus, When Doc. Declares the Div- f ' idends and Gabriel Blows His Horn, and ends with Flagging the Kale, played by the olunteer Band. Thursda} ' Afternoon, Patricia An- ' dersen in Smile, Damn It, Smile. Thursday Night, the treat of the week is presented when Dutch Tommy appears in the dual role of Mr. Farrar and Dr. Farrar, in the side-splitting comedy, When Wurst Comes to Wurst. Without doubt this is the ' ' most comical production that has ever been staged before a W.N.L. audience. The scene is laid in the German Room . where Mr. Farrar, in consultation ' with a student, is on the point of re- considering a grade of E, when Dr. Farrar enters, kicks Air. Farrar out of -A. the door and flunks the student. ' At the Friday Night performance, the students will be privileged to wit- ness the best of modern productions when Paul AI. Pickem appears in Harrr} ' ' Decamel ' s latest play, Fleecing the Flock. Saturdav, the grand finale comes in that acme of burlesque, The Fatal Fallacy or The Flaw in the Cream Separator, which was written by Rosie Glass expresslj ' for this occasion. Henrietta Louisa as the leading lady, and Bugs Hoyt as the villain, are enough to insure the success of the , ' evening. 270 New Gym Regulations The following rules and regulations have been drawn up in regard to the use of the Doremus Memorial G}-m- nasium, and will no doubt meet with the hearty approval of the proposed students of the future. A thorough investigation fails to disclose the iden- tity of the authors. 1. Power to grant permission for the use of the gymnasium shall be vested in a committee composed of the President of the Y.M.C.A. and the presidents of the two literary societies. 2. The g -mnasium shall not be used for an}- purpose which does not result in pecuniary benefit to the Uni- versit} ' . 3. The Basketball Team shall be permitted the use of the main floor for practice between the hours of three- thirty and four P.M. and for the play- ing of match games at night, provided such does not interfere with any other exercises which may be planned for the same time. 4. All dancing in the gymnasium ■shall be under the direct supervision of the Y.M.C.A., and shall cease prompt!} ' at the stroke of twelve. 5. The building shall be open for the use of the student bod} from five- thirty to six each evening, provided the students purchase a gym suit from the Universit}- Supply Store, rent a locker from the head janitor and comph strictly with all the petty rules and regulations. 6. The handball courts shall be open to the students from seven to seven-five A.AI. each day. Ich bin Herr Tomni}- Far-rar, Ein freund von dem deutschen Kai-sar.

Bill. I saw him there and called to him and kept him out of jail, thinking that, he ' d tell me where he ' d been. And this is what he told me, with his foot upon the rail, as we stood and drank our gin. I ' ve just come back from Lexing- ton, he ventured at the start, and his eyes were lit with rum, and I want to tell you now, Pal, in case we have to part, that the place is not on the bum. There ' s some who think that it ' s on the blink, but that I ' ll prove is wrong; for the same old crowd is making it loud with wine, women, and song; and the same old life with pleasures rife is there just as of yore. In fact, I say that the place today is better than ever before! There ' s some who weep and lose their sleep, pining for the good old days, and there ' s some who always sob, but I tell you the truth that things, forsooth, are better in many ways and there are dead game sports still on the job. For better or worse, there is no curse on dear old W. L.; say what they may, as I ' m living this day, it hasn ' t gone to hell. For the licker is there to get on a tear whenever the gang is prime; and they care not a breeze for Lefty Louise and the rest of the female regime. Yes, I confess (but wait for the rest) that the powers now in control are not the men you ' d ever call friend as we did in the days of old; but their hearts are light and they see the light when things come down to a pinch. Mike Denny ' s no more (but don ' t get sore), everything ' s still a cinch! They care not much for classes and such, 272 • iij.vj.vx i;)ii they all hop Grann}- s crips. From evening till morn in a room at the dorm you can hear the rattle of chips. Listen, my friend! I say it again, that life is not on the slouch; and he who whines for the olden times is nothing but a grouch. I stayed a week — they never sleep! and what I ' m telling you about, when we got through with a three da) s ' stew, I was all in, down and out. You know me, Al, cause I was your pal in the days of ' 92, and -ou know the ginks that could make me stop drinks were mighty scarce and few. Well, I stayed with that crew as a good sport should do, but I couldn ' t a damn. Another guy said with a sigh, that the ranks were full of Cream, — that famous stuff of Leftv ' s bluff. VW777Z77777Z stand the pace, and the} laid me away at dawning of da}-, with a napkin over my face. I ' ve been around the liveh ' towns, I ' ve roamed the universe, but never before, however galore, have I passed in m}- checks with a curse. I ' ve heard it said and I ' ve some- times read, that the lid is fixed on tight; but if }-ou ' ll go and see for sure, you ' ll find this is not right. The}- say Henr}- Louis is a priss}- old Jewess, that he ' s closed up the place like a clam, but I tell }-ou for fair and that ' s on the square, for Lefty the}- care not that came to him in a dream; but that ' s 0. K., there ' ll come a day, with laughter in the breeze, when Sister Smith will have to admit that his Cream has turned to cheese. They ma}- sa}- what they wish, it ' s nothing but slush, and sob for the olden }-ears, but things aren ' t bad and the place is not sad, so dr}- up all those tears. It ' s keeping its rep; they ' ve got the old pep; the}- ' re alive as they ever were; ' ou can still hear them sing the same old swing, and ' Hail, the Gang ' s All Here. ' The}- ' ve got a squad that ' s king of the sod, champs for the past two seasons, and U. Va. 273 refuses to play, giving the usual reasons, I ' m telling you straight that, early and late, things are not on the decline, but life is still bright and hearts are still light, as in the olden time. ' Twas then that Bill grew silent and took another drink, his face was wreathed in a smile, and as he drank he gave me a joyful wink, as I waited all the while. Old pal o ' mine, he at last opined, I ' ve told you where I ' ve been; what I ' ve said is thoroughbred, and now we ' d best turn in. And when we parted in the night he said I re- member well, you can take it from me or go and see, the place has not gone to hell. H. C. H.

William Henry Tucker William Henry Tucker and Edmund Douglas Campbell, the tivo star tackles of a conquering, invincible eleven! Here tliey are. Gaze upon them, ye yodeling followers of the premier out- door sport, and restrain your natural passions! The two bucking, tearing, side-swiping, hell- raising stalwarts of a mighty line! Xote with awe and admiration the gainly symmetry of their form and poise! Behold them, spellbound, in their characteristic attitude of ferocity and aggressive boldness! Observe and mar ' el, the unvanquishable mainstays of a fighting, vic- torious team! Kind reader, the above likenesses } ' ou should recognize with great ease, and applaud in your inner consciousness. Out of ten games this sea- son — including those against Vale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Cornell, Pittsburgh, and Prince- ton — they have not missed a tackle! Think of it! To play in half a score of titanic gridiron battles and yet live to tell the tale! You all have seen how veteran backs felt their trusty shanks tremble and shake as a reed in the squawl, before their onslaughts; tackle after tackle on the opposing teams has given up foot- ball for the drygoods business after single en- counters with these two Cyclopean linesmen. They stand before } ' ou in all their manh strength and vigor, the unbeaten champions of the dear old White and Blue. Tucker hails from Alabama, but only witness how he has lived it down! Countless coaches have sworn him to be the best thev ever saw for Edmund Douglas Campbell holding the ball on a kick. On the kick-off he is alwa ' s down for a tackle, and when he does tackle — wow!! Even at the sacrifice of life and limb, as you see from the above picture, he always gets his man. That mighty arm, which you see here slung limply at his side, has made many a fullback bite the cold, hard sod. This is his first year on the arsity, and already he has had tempting offers from Morris Harvey and ake Forest. Campbell is a local boy. the pride of the town. He is not only a football artist but is also a thinker, as is shown by the pensiveness of his mien. He is a star of the first water, having made the Varsity this year for the first time. Though a tower of strength and boldness, he never uses his strength like a giant. He always prefers to break an opponent ' s arm or leg than to lay him out for keeps. Of great height and ponderous proportions, he is gifted with a won- derful degree of agility and speediness. The coach has repeatedly sworn that the season would have been a flivver without him. Every- body recalls the day when, with the score against us in the last moment of play, he seized a pass on the ten-yard line and ran the entire length of the field for a touchdown, killing two guards and an end and mortally wounding the referee! Had he not made this spectacular run, the old White and Blue would have tasted the bitter sting of defeat. Watch them go, ne.xt season! 275 THK !STR,VT The Flimsy Dress Ball The 1916 Flimsy Dress Ball was one of the most brilliant affairs that has ever taken place at the University, out- lustering all previous events of the kind. The new gym was tastefully dec- orated with festoons of cabbage and cauliflower interspersed with wreaths of garlic and wild onions. A feature of the decorations was the collection of Japanese parasols ordered especially for the occasion. Promptly at six-thirty the curtains at the end of the hall were impressively drawn aside as the majestic form of Mr. Roamin A. Loose, leader of the dance, ambled nonchalantly down the floor. A ' liss Black, the director of the ball, was in a state of consternation at beholding two white strings dangling down from the trousers of her hero, but was reassured on being reminded that the leader wore white stockings. After leading the merry throng of terpsichoreans around the hall twenty- five times in an exceedingly difficult endurance contest, the dancing ceased, and cowbells were distributed as favors, after which the dancing con- tinued uninterruptedly — except for the five minute supper period — until nine o ' clock. No More Fancy Dress Balls Eleventh Annual Announcement The Fancy Dress Ball will be dis- continued in the future. According to a report from Miss Ann E. Wite, the Fancy Dress Ball which for the past four years has outlustered all previous events will cease to scintillate. This an- nouncement will, no doubt, come as a complete surprise — to those who have never heard of the Fancy Dress Ball. Each year the young ladies who have atten ded the ball have delayed more and more in the matter of ordering costumes, paying no attention to Aliss Wite ' s threats and prophecies, but rather assuming an air of indifference, as though their dress were but a small matter, when really it is the chief source of interest in connection with the function. This year, the feminine procrastination has been worse than ever, more than half of the costumes having been ordered later than the date after which ' an Horn positively refused to accept orders. Imagine the consternation and confusion which must have reigned in Philadelphia when it became known that Mr. ' an Horn and his boys had to pack up and express some twenty-five costumes on notice of only a few days! A hen Miss Wite announced that the Alumni would not be expected to attend in full costume unless they so desired, but would be permitted on the floor if they wore only a fancy paper hat as an aid to recognition, there was a howl of protest from the gentler sex who claimed that such discrimination was unfair. Miss ite remained firm, but in spite of her en- couragement, many of the Alumni re- fused to attend, even though phys- ically able to do so. Realizing that the affair was bound to continue to be a losing proposition. Miss Wite finally decided, after eleven years of con- sideration, to crystallize her decision and render the verdict. 276 IS :5l te=igS i TtlK . iSTR VLYX XUXG Mt _DUG3 niC STK-V Eddie Parke Davis When college opened in September, there was a solemn stillness that per- vaded the atmosphere and made itself felt throughout the town. Despite the bustle and excitement which naturally attend the opening of the session, the old men were conscious that something was lacking, and even the Freshmen seemed to have a kind of lost feeling! The slop-slingers at McCrum ' s glanced up with an expectant air at the en- trance of each newcomer, but returned to their fizzing with the habitual look of bewildered indifference, realizing a bitter disappointment. H. O. Dold majestically paced the front platform of his peanut emporium and waxed elequent in extolling the glories of The Good Old Days, in the time when we had a president. The atmosphere of depression con- tinued for several days, until one fine morning when the Virginia Creeper oozed into the C. O. shed, bringing the summer remains of Eddie Parke Davis. Immediately, an air of gaiety became evident, and within twenty- four hours the whole community had settled to a state of good-humored content. Thus did ashington and Lee and the Town of Lexington give unmistakable expression to the fact that the presence of Eddie Parke Davis is indispensable to the welfare of the community. A Modern Ballad Upon an Ancient Subject Aeons ago in the Cenozoic Age, ' hen maidens sweet, from head to feet Were gowned in their glorious hair; A youthful swain (thirty-ounce brain) Was handsomest of his tribe; Age, thirteen year. He took a spear And forthwith went a-wooing. He walked an hour and found a bower Which quite secreted him. He couched down, flat on the ground, To rest his tired limbs. Some maiden eyes he soon espies; Also some maids at play. He dropped his lance, for but one glance, Picked out his soul ' s ideal. Such eyes, he swore, were ne ' er before Confined in human head; He had a hunch she was a bunch Of loveliness alone. How shall I deign to get that Jane.? But luck arranged a way. With flowing locks she hove some rocks At a club-tailed glyptodont. The beast made haste, the virgin chased Right by the hidden swain. He thrust his spear into her hair And dragged her to his side. Thou art my bride! he cried with pride; Said she, This is so sudden! H. S. H. 278 Till ' : SrU.VLYX 191(5 . The End of a Perfect Day ' An unfortunate student had died and received his passport to the lower regions. Arriving at the abode of His Satanic Majest} ' he found that man}- of his college mates and friends had preceded him, but he was surprised at the absence of all professors. Think- ing a mistake had been made he ap- pealed to Belzebub and asked for an explanation. Ah, said the lord of the realm, there is no Hell for pro- fessors after death — they get theirs on earth. Judas Hogue is a man of great care; He abhors viewing limbs which are bare. The track men, he begs, Sliould stocking their legs; And he covers his own face with hair. — W.iLTER Camp. Dr. Judas first endeared himself to the students of X. L. when he in- troduced in 1912, the Turke}- Trot and Bunny Hug as additions to the dancing curriculum. But he was not content to bask idly in the sunshine of good will, hiding his light under a bushel. With painstaking care he took up the study of athletic needs, and again came into the limelight of popular favor in 191 5, when he dis- co ' ered the Regulation Track Suit, secured a patent on it and donated the copyright to the University Sup- ply Store. An ardent advocate of the sport, he has become ery proficient at the art, exhibiting unusual form. 279 If the latest specimen of the genus homo seen strolling about the campus is a fair example of The Cream of The South, one cannot help but think what a damn ' poor pasture our beloved Dixie Land must be. The Universit} ' authorities agree at the new Dance Regulations are necessar} ' : Germany gives the same excuse for the sinking of the Lusitania. Under the new order of things, the tomatic Rule has gained the title f Cream Pitcher. It is rumored that the campus tax at Washington and Lee will be doubled, in order to be able to include all the high schools of Rockbridge on the baseball schedule. It has been suggested that the name of the new gym be changed to Dore- mus Dairy, as it is here that the Cream is made into something sub- stantial — Cheese ! If Dr. Hancock is head of the School of Commerce, it seems unfair that the Dobringus Gymnasium should not be under his supervision, as it is one of the University ' s greatest commercial enterprises. Under the new Pure Food Law, the physical director and his assistants are required to wear white coats in hand- ling the Cream. The last issue of the Encyclopedia Britannica gives Rosie Glass as the author of the famous quotation, All things come to those who wait. The Sophomore Class, considering paddling as a barbarous custom, have decided to abolish the Vigilance Com- mittee for the session of 1916-17. It seems to be a case of no more Whipped Cream. It costs a student two dollars to be absent from University Assembly. The Debating Societies might adopt the same plan to secure an audience. 280 This picture has no title — two bits for the best title suggested THi: STR VI YX ii)l ! A Little Learning He was only a Freshman and mighty green, But eager to live and learn, And he had a thirst for the greater things — The things for which MEX yearn. He had heard of the three-fold ad- vantages Of Washington and Lee, And he wanted to look about the place. Just to see what he could see. So Lefty was showing him all around, And giving him good advice — How to avoid the naughty boys. The booze and the cards and dice.

It was captured in 1914, and since that time has been roosting on the campus, except during the sum- mer when it migrates to Massachu- setts, returning again in the fall with the other birds from the North. When Henry Ford made his famous trip abroad he offered every inducement to lure the dove along with him, and W. J. Bryan has made repeated attempts to secure the bird for a pet, but the dove has remained loyal to the White and Blue. Athletes from other uni- versities, jealous of Washington and Lee ' s possession, have made great efforts to destroy the bird, which, de- spite its natural gentle and peaceful disposition showed remarkable ability at self defense. Its natural habitat is about g3 ' mnasiums or athletic fields, where it satisfies its ravenous appetite with monograms and athletic records. nil ' : STRA.LYX 191(5 E. L.

According to authentic reports there has never been, in the history of man, such a prodigy as that exhibited in the person of Kaiser ' ilhelm Brown. ' hen only six weeks old he showed the first signs of his future career by reading the German label on the bot- tom of his nursing bottle, and at the tender age of thirteen months he had completed the Shorter Catechism and The Confession of Faith, and was ready for the secular training of the public school, but owing to the fact that he had not yet learned to walk, he was compelled to confine his studies to the home library, where he devoured everything from the plays of Shakes- peare to the poems of John D. Mc- Cready. His sojourn at Washington and Lee has been marked chieflv bv the ease with which he has collected keys; being rivaled in this sport only by the Janitor Gooch. The Stool Pigeon [Note: — It is reported that spies are being regularh- used in the effort to break up indoor and outdoor sports of the students.] I have some faith in the gambler; Full pity for the crook; There ' s much that ' s good in the rounder.

Who openly plays the game. Who robs and steals and all the rest, There ' s compassion for his shame. But if ever hate were just for scoundrel or for witch.

Headquarters Dad Elliott Will Take Charge Owing to the enormously increased enrollment, it was found necessary for the Y.M.C.A. to enlarge its quarters. The management has been planning for some time to locate in a larger building, having been for many years hampered in their work by the inconvenience of crowded space. The University authorities, con- vinced by the eagerness of all the students to join the association, notified William Brown yesterday that he might move his German quiz papers to the new hang-out. A letter received early this morning from Dad Elliott, who has been numbering his converts by the thousands recently in a campaign at girls ' colleges, brought the glad news that he had accepted the offer of a position at the head of the office here. As every student in college, except one or two, is now a member, the organization should prosper in the future under the guidance of Elliott, Brown, and Toady Kern. Lyric Theatre Closed By Police Objected To By Faculty Complying with an order from the Mayor, issued yesterdny iiftcr a r-nnferenoe with the Washington and Lee fiiriilty, ihr l;iMious old Lyric Theatre was closed to the p ' ll ' li ' ' iiii ' il -iimmer. The faculty has long been consid ' i in: tin- -lip. as it was their unanimous opinion that iiKA in i. i ' ' tui . ' . ' were detrimental to the students, interrupting their study hours and drawing them away from the tri-weekly meetings of the Literary Societies. The closing of the Lyric is a fitting sequel to the raid recently on Billy Higgins ' Pool Room and its subse- quent discontinuance of business. It is hinted that ] IcCrum ' s will be the next object of the reformers, a rumor which is rather substantiated by the fact that the soda fountain has been removed together with all magazines, tobacco, and other wares of the student trade. Still other places will be driven from town in i the purpose of Dr. Smith and absolutely no resorts and rendez- to ( : the students from the ,vork. University Supply Store Declares Dividends All Outstanding Accounts Paid Up Doctor Pollard announced yesterday at morning chapel exercises that a dividend of l-o . ' 9 of one per cent, had been earned during the past ten years. This, he said, would be distributed by him from his office in the gym between the hours of ten and ten-fifteen each day until all stockholders shall have been paid their share in the large melon. He said further that he felt this proof of his long and conscientious service entitled him to a month ' s vacation, especially as he had not enjoyed a holiday from arduous busiuess cares for almost a week. Loud applause followed his remarks, showing clearly that the student-body understood per- fectly the terrible burden of work and worry that he has borne ever since becoming a member of the faculty. The supply store will continue on a co-operative basis, the idea being that the students get the experience while the management will get the rent. New Schedule of Rates at Gymnasium Admission Charge, Unchanged Gallery Seats, Now 25 Cents At a meeting last night, composed of the Athletic Director and the janitor of Doremus Gymnasium, it was decided to make several changes in the rates for the use of the building and its apparatus. The notable changes were the first and third in the list; pool tickets will sell henceforth for ten instead of five cents, and gym class ticket books were reduced from two dollars to one dollar and ninety-eight cents. Other charges listed were as follows: handball, five cents per hour; wrestling prohibited as too dangerous to furniture; suicide basketball also prohibited : track, five cents for each lap. The rent of the floor for dances was raised from ten to fifteen dollars per night, the dancers being confined to a single basketball court. These charges are regarded as very reasonable by the student patrons of the gyni, especially as they are assured that the money collected will be used to pay for the nice new building. Athletic Association Abolished Only Croquet Tolerated Now ■side lith cd t.xla gula Newcomb Hall daily prayer meeting that athletics at Washington and Lee would henceforth include only the milder games, such as evening constitutional walks, tennis, croquet, and handball. Football and the other field sports, he said, were too rough in the first place, beside offering seductive diversions from study. The wild ovations given to victorious teams in the olden days, he thoroughly discountenanced, as they were totally absurd and preposterous. A further reason he offered was that the major sports attracted too much scum of the North, which vi-tiated all his efforts to secure nothing but Southern Cream. The announce- ment was greeted with cheers from the entire student- body assembled on the front bench of the Commerce Lecture Room. New Entrance Requirements Next Year System Now Perfect FollnwiiiL ' III- r. insistent policy of thorough prepara- tion f n ni w iiiur iriilates. President Smith has at last estahlwlii ' il 111- - -ifiu of entrance requirements in their liillr t I xtcni According to the new rules, only graduates of Vale and Harvard and of accredited ministerial seminaries may now enter as Freshmen. The requirements for co-eds are also made stricter, only those thirty-five years of age being henceforth eligible. It is thought these changes will operate to materially increase next session ' s influx of Cream. The course of work for A.B andB.S. Degrees is now as follows: Four years, politics; four years, hygiene; four years, Y.M.C.A.; and the rest optional (any fifty of the fifty-one remaining courses), The automatic rule apnlies when two out of ten grades are below SO. This is to encourage Freshmen to do well at the begin- ning of their colleg 290 Till ' : STKAI. ' iX l iC. S a A Biology Specimen The Short-Story Contest As announced through the Southern Colle?ian, at the beginning of the 3 ' ear, The Stralyx agreed to pay a prize of lift}- cents to the writer handing in the best short story on the subject ' ' Hard Luck Harry. ' Below are several of the stories submitted. Dr. Shannon was awarded the prize by the judges. The next best stor} ' was submitted by Mr. B. H. Somerville. The W inning Story Hard Luck Harry left the postffice with his books under his arm. All his life, chance had been against him. Presently he came to a cross-roads. Three paths lay before him: the first led to McCrum ' s, the second to the Pool Room and the third to a One- O ' Clock Class. He hesitated a moment and took the first path. At McCrum ' s, a group sat around a table. Hard Luck Harry, our ill-fated hero, entered; they all matched for drinks — he lost. His rival was there; he slipped arsenic in Harr}- ' s glass. It took Harry ' s last cent to pay for the drinks. A messenger boy entered with a telegram. Harry had inherited his rich uncle ' s fortune. But the arsenic — ! Hard Luck Harry stood at the cross roads. Three paths lay before him. One led to the Physics Laboratory, one to the German Room and one to the Biology Lecture Room. He hesi- tated a moment, then took one of them. The Pool Room was crowded. Our hapless hero entered and challenged a bystander. Harry lost. His room- mate entered with good news: Harry ' s last picture play had been accepted. Fame and fortune awaited him. Some- one started a rough-house. hen the smoke cleared. Hard Luck Harry lay dead. A cruel billiard cue — ! Hard Luck Harr} ' stood in the presi- dent ' s office. There was absoluteh- no 291 T S X ' I M I i Chemistry I was in session. Dr. Howe was calling the roll. Harry, the star pupil, entered. An experiment was assigned to him. If it could be worked it meant the discovery of a serum for Epizootics and other diseases. Some- one had changed the labels on the bottles ' in the lab. Harry worked the experiment and turned to receive the applause of his classmates. The test tube exploded. When Dr. Howe dis- engaged him from a nearby tree he found Hard Luck Harry — sound asleep and unprepared. J. HARVEY When J. Harvey Sorrells made his debut into the world of music, Mc- Cormack ceased to envy Caruso, and cast his longing gaze toward the 3-oung sob artist of Arkansas. At Southern Seminary, Sorrells cap- tivated the young hearts of the inno- cent admirers with his soulful rendi- tion of Somewhere a Voice is Calling, in mournful, heart-rending tones that choked his hearers with their own sobs, and again at Randolph-Macon he dis- turbed the sentimental equilibrium of the fair sex with his sob stuff. Resolutions of Whereas we, the Cream of 1915-16, are unanimously of the opinion that the so-called Vigilance Committee is prehistoric, barbarous, savage, shock- ing, and frightfully rough; that it is a stumbling block in the feetpath of our dear president; that it is a great source of anxiety to our dear mammas and papas; that it unjustly operates to chill the fresh young manhood of am- bitious Freshmen; and that it is a cam- SORRELLS But his reputation soon spread and in due time he was beset by representa- tives of the Victor Company, who offered every inducement, but all in vain. J. Harvey was too much en- grossed in his studies, and rather than give up his quest for a Phi Beta Kappa key, he declined all offers, but was finally persuaded to permit the use of his photograph for advertising the Victor machines in Weinberg ' s De- partment Store. the Class of 1916 pus fallacy opposed to expanding life: BE IT resolved, that no more Fresh- men shall be innoculated with this Ku Klux serum, but that henceforth they shall be allowed to go on a diet of Horlick ' s Food and pursue their ambition to overthrow the trustees and faculty and run things as they please; that no more midnight raids shall be made, disturbing the town people and humiliating the helpless 292 STR.VI.YX 19H ictims before jocose upper classmen; that the ' igilance Committee is here- by finally abolished, and its officers are henceforth to be in the hands of The Ladies ' Aid Society and The Ep- worth League. Athletic Tickets [Excerpt from a catalog for the ses- sion 1917-1918] LTpon paying the Campus Tax, the entrant is given an Athletic Ticket in receipt. This entitles him to admission to all practices on Mlson Field or in the Doremus Gvmnasium, except in cases of secret practice. If there are an}- match games on the home ground, the ticket entitles the holder to ad- mission at the gate, but not to the grand stand, for which an additional fee of twenty-five cents is charged for each game. At the basketball games, Athletic Tickets secure general admission, but seats will be sold at fifty cents each for every contest. Holders of Athletic Tickets shall be entitled to vote in the General Ath- letic Association elections, provided the registration fee of two dollars has been paid six months before the election. Athletic Tickets are not good for admission to an}- contest which is not listed in the original schedule. AGE OF INNOCENCE A Fable There was once a college president who had a dream in which he beheld a model university where everything was ideal — even the students. This dream awakened in him a burning am- bition, and he conscientious!} ' set to work to produce such an institution. Each da}- he had a new dream, and immediatel}- a new theor}- was started on its wa}-. Finalh- one da}- he awoke to the realization of the fact that all the undesirable element had been ejected; so having completed his work he was free to take a respite from his labors and view the results of his handi- work. He started on a tour of the buildings. Brushing aside the cobwebs he entered room after room, his foot- steps echoing through the empty spaces. Arriving at the registrar ' s office, he consulted the roll and found not a single entrant for the current year. For, alas, like the nigger ' s mule, the institution, as soon as it had reached a state of perfection, had died! 293 STiiAl.VX 1!)H; A Touching Drama Time — The Present. Scene — Any Old College. Prologue ' If you have tears prepare to shed them now, so says Old BiU. And now I say, if you have tears. Dear Dad, I guess they ' ll spill. If you can gush a group of groans, this must needs bring them forth; A thing you should have contemplated ere you shipped me North. I realize that what I am going to say is fraught with woe; I wish that I could withold it, but it ' s some- thing you must know. When you have finished reading this, of joy you will be shorn. Take comfort in the poet who says: !Man was made to mourn. Act I. (The Tragedy) BROKE, broke, broke. And it ' s getting cold, ' ou see. And Dad, I cannot utter The thoughts which arise in me. Oh, well for the fisherman lad Who sings in his boat in the bay; I, too, would sing if I had No board bill or room rent to pay. As the days and weeks pass on. A ' ly bank balance shrinks in size. Until it ' s so weak and wan. That to see it ta. es m ' eyes. BROKE, broke, broke. It ' s a terrible wa ' to be; And canceled checks show coin I ' ve spent, Which cannot come back to me. Act II. (Bitter Grief) Now that I ' ve made my message known. Voice your despair; go grieve and groan; Lamentably and loud bemoan That you have such a son. Saj ' what a beastly boob is he. Who calls on you conscientioush ' , And seems forevermore to be Flat broke and out of mon. Act III. (Padding) But, Dad, to me you ' ve alwa)-s been a really grand old scout. I hate to think of days gone by wherein I ' ve been a lout. I hate to do a Jesse James, and gyp you of your dough ; ■It surely seems a shame that I should have to treat you so. My heart goes out to you, and I am hoping that some day I ' ll hold the trumps and take the tricks for both of us, the way You have been doing, for I know no fellows ever had A friend who ' s been a whiter man than you ' ' e been to me. Dad. Act IV. (A Dialogue in Prose) YOU — Well, whaddya been doing? Buying the town or matching twenty-dollar gold pieces with Henry Ford and Jawn Dee? Whaddya mean, you ' re broke? ME — (meaning silence). YOU — Say, who ever told you guys that you had a team? It must have been Ananias. ME— Aw-w YOU — The - say that there ' s more i -or - in that bunch than there is in a herd of elephants. ME — Well, we just have an off year and the team has had a lot of hard luck, and YOU — Yes? Why, a second-hand phono- graph could outplay your team and never have to change needles. ME — Aw, an vay what ' s that got to do with- YOU — .And I don ' t see whatcha need money for. If you are working as hard as you ' ve been trying to make me believe you are by your let- ters, you wouldn ' t have time to spend monej ' even if you had it. ME— But I gotta eat. YOU — . ' las!! To think that a son of mine can ' t live on free lunch. This is too much. Act ' V. (Morale) If you fall into the river. You are sure of getting damp.

(CURTAIN) 294 No one would ever accuse Doc of having feathers on his legs, but the painstaking care that he has bestowed on everything in connection with the New Gymnasium has been often likened to the worries of a hen taking care of her brood. In fact, it is a that Doc began to acquire the char acteristics of this noble bird before the new building was even well under way, for no sooner was the corner stone laid than Doc began to cackle. If constant supervision is a telling factor in the preservation of buildings, it is a safe bet to say that the Doremus Me- morial Gymna- sium will retain its virgin luster until Doc fi- nally lays aside the cares of this world for good and all. However , Never count the chickens till the eggs hatch. LONG YELL FOR TEAM ' I ' m famous because of my s ' stem; The students all know I can Twist ' em.

Shortly afterwards when young A ' lore- land committed arson on the house- hold goods, Boss demonstrated his ability to cope with warm things, and in more than one instance has he given evidence of the fact that he is able to handle warm situations. Although constantly besieged by the fire departments of Loch Laird and East Lexington, he has remained firm in his resolution to continue the dis- pensing of legal lore in the precincts of Tucker Hall. Dr. Smith maintains that the class of graduates that Washington and Lee is now turning out is the kind of men that will be sure to push forward to the top in whatever branch of life work they may choose. Cream is bound to rise! In the Spring They stood on the porch at midnight; His heart was in a whirl; His eyes and mouth were full of hair, And his arms were full of girl. He put his arms around her waist; The color left her cheek — LTpon the lapel of his coat It stayed about a week! Dr. Sissy Stevens has lately per- fected a new curve by means of which the grade of any student can be readily determined at the time of matricula- tion. This will not only be a boon to the professor but will materially lessen the work of the registrar who will be able to make out the annual reports for the majority of the students dur- ing the summer months.

You ' ll find him in the rough, boys, His shirt is woolen gray, And he ' s worked behind the plow, boys; They call him common clay.

But they ' re thin as air when you ' re in the muck And need their loyalty. You ' ll find him in the rough, boys, The friend you like the best, For when you ' re in the slough, boys.

DR TOADY KERN We have here, you see, Toady Kern, Who golf is essaying to learn. In his classes are sharks Who get all the high marks. And others who don ' t give a durn. The old proverb, Gentlemen, first catch your rabbit, then make your pie, has become so intimately associated with Toady Kern that it would be folly to attribute the origin of it to anyone else. For several years, the saying has constituted the greater part of the learning of the Latin Graduates, and has become so familiar on the Campus that many who have never seen inside of a Latin book have the satisfaction of know ' ing some of the language. The above pic- ture was taken from life, so it is safe to say that Toady believes in teaching both by precept and by example. Pay as you enter doors have been suggested for the new gymnasium. 297 p a=-:- ' :: Tin: strai.yx iok; Evan Sidebottom McCord In the hills of Old Kentucky, The place where he was born, The corn is full of kernels, And the colonels full of corn. Ever since Sidebottom baffled the Lexington police force by leaving Lynchburg on the C. O., and coming into Lexington on the B. O., having transferred at East Lexington, he has been regarded with awe and admira- tion by his less quick-witted fellow students, who straightway endowed him with the epithet iVIysterious Mac. He is regarded by these who know him as one of the greatest of sleuths, in comparison with whom the detectives of Scotland Yard appear as insignificant as the Lexington Police Force or Lefty Louie ' s student Sher- locks. A GOOD EGG. There is indeed about Sidebottom an air of profound mystery which has baffled Liv Smith ' s acid test and the cross examination of Clovis Moomaw; for although no one has ever seen him exert superhuman efforts towards the attainment of any desired end, yet when the roll is called, Side is always present. Although no one would ever regard him as one of Henrietta ' s Hot House Honeys, he has nevertheless made for himself a place in the University, and in any gathering he is always as wel- come as the East Lexington Home Brew in the summer time. Born and raised in old Kentucky, he has ever striven to uphold the traditions of his native heath and has fulfilled all the requirements of a chivalrous Ken- tucky colonel. If you ' ve got the W. L. pep of a gnat! 298 ITRALYX 1916 When the days begin to lengthen, And the sun shines bright and clear, There ' s a sort of sneaky feelin ' Makes you know that Spring is near.

' AffP orr- GRf SS ONE OF THE FIRST SIGNS OF SPRING If congeniality is indeed the chief characteristic of the Irish, then Bill is a typical son of Old Ireland. On the campus at W ashington and Lee, Bill has made himself as indispensable as Test Problems in the Physics Depart- ment, and has so closeh ' identified himself with the athletic life of the University that folks are already be- ginning to wonder what will be W. L. ' s position in the sporting world after Bill has made his exit from college life. A firm believer in the traditions of Washington and Lee, Bill has ever been a staunch supporter of the Spirit of The Good Old Days, and may truly be ranked among the Gentlemen of the Old School. Despite the fact that he has attended various and sundry schools (it is rumored that he will publish a book, Schools I Have At- tended ); he seems to have lost the roving habit when he reached Lex- ington and has remained here until forced to accept a degree. 299 I?,] TH| : STR.VI.VX. - SCENE FROM IL TROVATORE ;— L A MISERERE L,i .} TIIK : .,„. ., X.1910 U- ]] Ei{sn§BMEN|| 3Bi THK STR VLYX 19X6 - s Universal Supply Store e sell everything, and always d carry a full line — of Bull PROFITS GO TO BOOST W.
