AUG 2 1998 M Page Five fi Henry Donald Campbell OE Avell toward three qviartei ' s of a century has the family of Camp- bell exercised important influence on the fortunes of Washington and Lee University. In 1851, John Lyle Campbell, a graduate of the class of 1812, was elected professor of chemisti v, mineralogy and geology, a position he held with distinction until his death in 1886. He was not only a successful teacher, but an investigator as well, and brought much reputation to the University through his geological work in the state at large. Of his four sons, the eldest, John Lyle, Jr., became in 1977 clerk of the faculty and treasurer of the University; for nearly forty years he was the University official who came most closely into genial touch with all the stu- dents. Of the next two sons, one is a leading minister of the Southern Presby- terian church, while the other died just as he was entering on the practice of medicine. The youngest son, Henry Donald, or as he is more familiarly known among the students, Harry Dean, the subject of this sketch, followed in his tastes more closely in his father ' s footsteps. As a student he assisted his father in his lecture experiments, and on taking his M.A. degree in 1882 was made instructor in chemistry and geology ; two years later he was appointed assistant professor and awarded the Howard Houston fellowship. The fol- lowing year he attained the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. From 1886 to 1888, Dr. Campbell studied in Germany, chiefly devoting himself to geology, mineralogy- and petrography. In the meantime the chair of chemistry, mineralogy and geology, so long held by his father, was divided, and to the newly created professorship of geology and biology Dr. Campbell was called. This he accepted, having just previously declined a call to the chair of chemistry in Central University. In 1906, Dr. Campbell was appointed dean of the University, and a few years later the increasing duties of this position forced him to relinquish active work in biology, though still remaining as head of the department. During the vacancy following the departure of President Denny to the Uni- versity of Alabama, Dr. Campbell, as dean, and his brother, as treasurer, were acting co-presidents of the University. As a teacher. Dean Campbell is interesting and inspiring, and his classes have always been favorite subjects of election. He began his teaching of geology and biology in a period when controversies over the conflict of science and religion were rife in the South, and when not a few of both teachers and students were swept from their moorings. Ever true to the truths of advancing science, he never drifted from the faith of his fathers. Page Six and many are the students who have been saved from relijiions shiinvreok Itv thoughts brought out in liis lettures and conversations. As an investigator, he has c( ntinued and advanced the work begun by his father on the geology of ' irginia, and is a recognized authority on the geology of Virginia ' s great alley. This work has been of great value to the United States Geological Survey, for which he has contributed much labor, and has also been no small factor in the development of the mineral resources of the state. As an administrator, Dean Campbell has had large influence in shaping the policies of the University for a score of years, and the jjolicies advocated by him have ever been along the line of progress and high standards. Yith- in, his influence upon the individual student, with whom he is brought by virtue of his office into close personal touch, has always been stimulating and helpful ; without, in the counsels of college officials and educators, his words have always carried weight and pointed toward high ideals. Dr. Campbell has taken great interest in the schools of Lexington, as did his father before him ; he has for many years served on the school board, and the present excellence of these schools is due in no small measure to his oversight. In the Presbyterian church he is an efficient deacon. Taken altogether, few men have been more useful to the University and the communitv. Page Seven TKe Winds of tke NigKt When the winds steal over the hills at night, With a message from the deep, Then I sit and muse as the shadows fall. And the sunset fades in sleep. A vision comes with the failing rays. Of the life that used to be; In this mystic hour I ' m back again At Washington and Lee. Oh, there the sky is blue again, The hillsides green of yore, The dull hard tone of the chapel bell. Is heard by me once more; The columned halls, the vineclad walls, The quiet hum of the bee — All these and more I find down there At Washington and Lee. When the winds roam out of the clouds at night, And the dusk is deep and still, I dream again of that grand old school On the darkening southern hill ; For the winds of night are calling wide. And their message comes to me, Of the friends I miss in that home of bliss, Old Washington and Lee. When the winds steal over the hills at night, As I long in vain for thee. Oh, my soul has gone in this lonely hour, To Washington and Lee. — . T. H.

AltJiough the war had begTin at the time the 1917 Calyx appeared on the campus, yet the greater part of the book had been prepared before the outbreak of hostilities, including the gather- ing of the ever necessary funds. This year tlie case was different. Not only has the student-body been reduced by over 25%, but the AVar-time conditions have proved naturally a detriment to the getting of a sufficient financial back- ing. Contracts had been signed in 1917 calling for a book on the same scale as that of previous years. It was, thei efore, a matter of no mean size and dif- ficulty to publish the book now in the hands of the Washington and Lee stu- dents. Due credit for this must be given to the capable and earnest Business Manager, Murray C. Shoun, former manager of Old Center, Central Uni- versity, Kentucky. He has spared no effort to procure the needed backing and to made the 1918 Calyx a success. The merchants who have so kindly given advertising space are to be thanked by the staff ' . They have proved themselves loyal to the college in these times of financial stress, and conse- quently deserve more than ever the hearty support of Washington and Lee men. To the students who have subscribed, to the societies who have paid for representation, and to all those who have in any way contributed to the financial side of the book, the staff extends the heartiest of thanks. The artists, Messrs. Hartley, Waugh, and Welch have worked faithfully, and their drawings are far above the usual standard of college art. The various members of the staff have co-operated continually with the Editor, who takes this opportunity to thank them for their important services. For articles, the Editor desires to thank Dr. Henry L. Smith, Dr. W. LeConte Stevens, and Dr. J. L. Howe. With these few words, the Editor and the staff ' turn over the 1918 Calyx to the Student-body. Above all other things has the attempt been made to have the book tnilij representative of Vashington and Lee. It is sincerely ho])ed that this attempt has proved successful.

Thirty-eight XN every educatioual iiiHtitution there must be some system of control in relation to examinations, recitations, and other tests applied to measnre the student ' s success in work and to protect the integrity of the degrees conferred. No considerable number of young men can be brought together Avithout the gradual development of a need for co- ordination and mutual obligation. Two methods are possible. The control may be autocratic, or it may be democratic. The autocratic method is best exhibited in Prussia, where every man is taught to know his place, to obey orders, and to sustain the military organ- ization of society. Spies are paid to report all who can be detected in the violation of orders, and the police are everywhere alert. The spy system is extended to other countries, especially in time of war; and here in America we are today continually in danger from these hated German spies. The democratic method is that of representative government, in which popular sentiment is the basis for every law. We still need policemen; but the policeman ' s function is to enforce the will of a majority of the people rather than that of a military despot. The American college is an institution in which training is given, not only in academic and professional subjects, but in citizenship, in the maintenance of justice, in personal character. The honor system is a system of student self-government in which each student pledges his word of honor to his fellow students that he will take no unfair advantage of them in the performance of any college work. It is a sys- tem that appeals to the manliness, the independence, the honesty, and the mu- tual loyalty of those who adopt it. Whether a given body of students is capable of self-government has to be determined and demonstrated by the students themselves. No professor, or body of professors, can do so for them. No faculty is strong enough to in- Page Thirty-nine corporate the honoi ' system iuto a working code. If the initiative does not come from the students themselves the system has no chance for existence. Its essential foundation is justice. It is unjust for a student by cheating to obtain for himself the reward which his classmate wins by hard work. The attempt thus to cheat betrays an individual deficiency which the majority re- fuse to tolerate; and the only possible resource is the elimination of the offender who had proved himself unfit to be considered a gentleman. The stu- dents merely insist that there shall be fair dealing in class-room, laboratory, and examination room, whether the professor is present or absent. Whoever resorts to trickery offends not so much the professor as the student bodj ' . In most cases the student is seeking a degree ; and all are aware that the value of a degree depends on the thoroughness of the training which its holder has re- ceived. To attain it by fraud is to cheapen it ; and the effect is thus to injure a large body of honest men in order to gratify the demands of a few who are dishonest. It is the right and the duty of the majority to protect themselves and to maintain the integrity of the degree which the college confers upon them as the reward of honest work. If with a view to self -protection the student body, through its repre- sentative executive committee, makes a law that students shall not cheat, this law can not be enforced unless those who have made it are detemiined to pimish the violators. In adopting the honor system each man pledg ' es himself not to cheat or to tolerate cheating. It is useless to say that the mere adoption of an honor system ought to be enough, and that all students should then be trusted to act honorably. We are required to deal with human nature, not as it ought to be, but as it is actually found in a world full of temptations. The only way by which the majority can maintain their rights against a cheating minority is for each man to make it his duty to prevent any member of the minority from trampling upon the law. Each student must be a good citizen. If he reports to the executive committee one who has been guilty of cheating, he will perhaps be called a spy by the guilty man ; but he must have enough force of character to brave this risk, to face the defendant, and to prove that the accusation is true. No citizen is ever criticized adversely for exposing a criminal. The honor system at Washington and Lee has long been an organic part of the institution. Traditions here are well established. It is merely an ap- plication of the standards of Washington, of Lee, of William L. Wilson, in political life. It grew with the growth of the college. It maintained its strength in the day of adA ersity. It will not be allowed to groAv weaker in the day of prosperity. It is the best system in existence toda ' , and the present generation of students must be depended upon to guard it as jealously as a man of spirit would gaiard the honor of his home.

G O compress iuto a dozen volumes the achievements of the Class of 1918 would be a stupendous task, the work of a Rhodes or a Bancroft. Obviously then, this will be but an epitome of our remarkable historv. ye numbered eighty ' odd when we assembled for the first time in Tucker Hall, in September, 1916, to listen to words of admonition from ' ' Daddy ' ' Burks. We can imagine the sage profs shaking their heads in disgust when they considered the material mth which they were to work, and yet, as time passed, the same professors began to realize that we were a class of exceptional legal talent. Our latent potentialities evinced themselves beyond refutation. In the spring of 1917 came the declaration of war with all its attendant distracting inlluences. Immediately ' most of our best legal talent emulating the patriotic character of the founders of our college, volunteered and entered the service of the nation. Yet under these adverse conditions we survived the Junior year with a goodly number. On our return in September, 1917, but a mere handful, a fragment of our noble class answered the roll call. Of a class of eighty, only eighteen applied for degrees. But undaunted by our depleted ranks, we resumed our work with an unflinching determination. Just a brief resume of our experiences during our two years. We wit- nessed with regret the passing of Daddy Burks, the grand old man of Tucker Hall, from the position of Dean of the Law School, to that of Judge on the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia; the appointment of Uncle Joe as Dean was hailed with delight, however. We regretted furthermore, the resig- nation of Clovis Moomaw from the faculty to become a first lieutenant in the army; we went through the ordeal of the case system experiment imder Mr. Dodd; and lastly we fell victim to Judge Quarles ' new system of lectures. Such have been our trials and experiences. By patient endurance we have withstood the test, and now await our reward in June. Historian. Page Forty-four CEALLE FAUNTLEROY BLACK- WELL S E, KB$ Kenbi-idge, Mrginia ' ' Blauclie, as he is known by his ifraternity brothers, is one of the youngest members of the Senior class, having first seen the light in 1897. Graduating from Kenbridge High School at the early age of tif- teen, he decided he needed some prac- tical experience before undertaking to solve intricate and knotty legal problems. Consequently, he spent three years on the road as a travel- ling salesman before appearing at Tucker Hall in 191(i. Since entering here he has accumulated a list of grades of which any one would be proud. His greatest achievement, however, he sa ' S, is dancing. A quick thinker, a good student of strong mind, he will make his little niche in the legal profession. ADAM BROYLES BO yMAN, Jli. nKA Johnson City, Tennessee Adam suddenly sprang into the limelight during his senior year by jumping into Xorth River one Sun- day afternoon on a wager, while wearing his Sunday best. Adam says that it didn ' t disturb him in the least. But aside from his ability as a diver he is an excellent example of a model college man. He took two years of academic work at Milligan College, and then deciding to disso- ciate himself from co-educational colleges forever, he took up work in the legal department of the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway. In September, l!)l(j. he entered the Law School of Washington Lee. and as e ' idence of his legal ability he suc- cessfully passed the Virginia bar exam in June, 1917. He has always displayed those qualities which are indicative of undoubted success. Upon gradiiatiou he expects to enter the employment of the C. C. O. again — not as stenographer, how- ever, but in all probability as chief counsel. Page Forty-five MICHAEL COOPER Norfolk, Virgiuia By au early display of extreme loquaciousness Mike was unanimous- ly chosen as president of the Sphjnx Club, which otBce he has filled to perfection. Mike says he is an ex- ception, and we agree with him most heartih in his statement, but what we want to know is an exception to what? We leave to Mike to elucidate. In his Junior year he demonstrated with remarkable certainty his excep- tional ability to define ( ? I legal terms, as the class can verify by his attempt in criminal law. He was born in Tarboro, North Carolina, and received his early education at Maury High School, Norfolk, Vir- giuia, before entering the Law School in 1910. He expects to prac- tice in Norfolk, and we predict his consistent hard work Ayill l)ring suc- cess. JAMES KENT EAELY K2, A4 Hillsville, Mrginia Kent, with his pleasant Howdy ! , his cheerful, easy, happy-go-lucky nianner, won his way with graceful ease into the hearts of all the legal celebrities of Tucker Hall. Kent constitutes the one-half of what is kno m as the Hillsville twins — Joe Tipiton being the other gaiilty party. They are as inseparable as House Mountain is from Rockbridge Coun- ty. They patrcmize Bill Higgins ' s place of business together, study to- gether, attend and miss lectiires to- gether, and expect to practice law together. Dublin Institute is re- sponsible for Kent ' s preparatory education. From here he went to AMlliam Mary College in order to deyelop further his mental powers before associating himself with the legal hmiinaries at Tucker Hall, Avhich he entered in September, 1910. He expects to practice law in Virginia. Page Forty-six LOT DILLAED ESTES K2, I A$, HAN Comnievce, Texas This is Dip ' s second appeai ' anoe witli a Senior Law Class represen- tation in the CALYX, for the book of iniT will be found to contain an account of the statesman under dis- cussion. It seems that Dip planned to get his L. L. B. last spring, and that one of the professors had made entirely ditferent arrangements. The result was that Dip simimered in Lexington, brousing around in Real Property for exercise. He discovered a four-leafed clover and succeeded in ridding himself of the only detri- ment to liis degree. This June the faculty will present him with it, therefore. Meanwhile Dip, whose powers of speech was dwelt u]ion in this space last year, has been practicing law in his native state of Texas. From all that can be learned he has been do- ing very well, and bids fair to rise to a high position in his community, and eventually, his friends believe, to things even better. RUSSEL BRYAN GOODWIN K2, $A$ Wheeling, West Mrginia Being a firm believer in the say- ing that a little learnint - is a dan- gerous thing, Russ thoroughly equipped himself in preparation for his appearance at Tucker Hall in September, 11)10, by taking his B.A. degree at Washington Jefferson College. We have in him an excel- lent student, a proficient athlete, and a man displaying an exceptional amount of legal talent. Although never .showing any of his athletic prowess while with us, except as um- pire or referee, he was an All-Amer- ican quarterback on the W. J. foot- ball team for four years. He is a iirm believer in preparedness, as evi- denced by his ready, pointed replies to the jirofessional in(|uisitions. If he continues to di.splay the same ex- cellent qualities as a practicing law- yer that have characterized him as a student, we know that his native state will feel proud of him in the future. Page Forty-seven . ;M 4-« e«i«e« CHARLES EUFAS McCOY Leek, Virginia. Mac first saw the light of day at Leek, Virginia, in 18.95, and received his early education at Clintwood High School before entering Wash- ington and Lee in 1916. As a mat- ter of interest, Leek is in Southwest V irginia, where, as Mac says, they produce men, not merely human be- ings. From the day ' s early dawn to the chiming of midnight bells, Mac can be found in Tucker Hall, hard at work. The faculty honored him with the position of librarian, of which office lie has been found to be a competent incumbent. In De- cember he was one of the few who convinced the bar examiners of Vir- ginia that he was qualified to prac- tice the legal profession. Of an ex- ceptionable strong character, an untiring and faithful worker, and a systematic worker, Mac is certain to achieve success. His classmates wish him God-speed. GEORGE MINOR McLAUGHLIN AXP, A©$ Huntington, West ' irginia To find a man who can smoke more cigars, eat more tobacco, be a better all-round good fellow, and be a better student than Baldy would be a life ' s job. His one besetting sin is in attempting too much rather than too little. Woe be unto the op- posing counsel when Baldy once gets started, for he -nail prove himself a veritable Trojan in action. If it be true that half the battle of life is won when you have acquired the habit of work, then Baldy has his half cinched, for he is a ceaseless worker. Baldv made his appearance at Tucker Hall in the fall of 1915 after receiving his academic work at Marshall College. By his warm- hearted friendship and congenial na- ture, he soon won the respect, honor, and confidence of all Avith whom he came in contact. A thorough stu- dent, a hard worker, a scholarly gen- tleman, we feel safe in predicting a bright future for him. Page Forty-eight EVERETT BRYAN BACKER PENXY- Belleville, West Virginia Few meu possess the rare capacity for an nnliniited amonnt of work as Penny has disphiyed since his so- journ yith us. Since making his ap- pearance at Tucker Hall he has dem- onstrated beyond a reasonable doubt to the inmates of the said institution his ability as a student. Most of his grades approach the century mark. He came to us in January, 1917, and at once deyoted himself to his work with a zeal and earnestness seldom Ayitnessed. During the first term of his senior year he carried eyery tick- et in the law school, and successfully passed eyery one of them with an ayerage high in the nineties. His immediate plans after Commence- ment are to pass the bar exam and then practice law in his natiye state. He will not need to spend any time in looking for a companion — he al- ready has one. ADELSON HARPER POLING AXP, A©a , KB4 Hendricks, West Virginia Judge hails from the bare hills of West Virginia. He graduated from (ireenbrier Presbytei-ial Military- School in 1914, and after staying out of school for two years, entered Washington Lee in the fall of 1916. The fact is, he arriyed in T x- ington in September, 1915, but found T xington so little to his liking that he packed his grip and to ik the next train to Tucker County. Since cast- ing his lot with the Law School he has enthu.siastically applied himself to the study of law. Not only has he been successful along this line of work, but he has Ayon political dis- tinction by being elected Executiye Committeeman by the Senior Law Class. The only thing that breaks in on Judge ' s attention to his stud- ies is the necessity for fretpient trips back to West Virginia. Necessity here is in the feminine gender. Judge expects to practice law in his natiye state, and from the char- acter of his work at Washington Lee, his classmates predict a bright future for him, and prophesy that the nickname of Judge will in time become his real title. Page Forty-nine THOMAS HERRING PRATT 4 rA, KB , AA, W. F. Ridgefield, N. J. Stretch has been a visitor at Tucker Hall since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Stretch is a student who believes in tripping merrily as one goes, and in letting the world take care of it- self. His chief source of delight is in receiving a semi-annual, two- sheet publication of Kingsley Prepa- ratory School which is responsible for his early education. He was scheduled to receive his degree in 1!:)17, but deciding that he Avas needed in the aviation service, he quietly and peacefully and legally divorced himself from the said ag- gregation. Soon after college opened last fall, however, Stretch was with us again, ready to receive his degree in June. He expects to prac- tice law in his native state. The best wishes of his class jio with him. BURTON SHARPE SANFORD KB , S. and C. Ripley, Tennessee Strut says he has been here ever since Bill Raftery and House Moun- tain have been. It was in 1!)10 that Strut took his B.A., at the same time sandwiching in with law. For some reason, which Strut refuses to state, but we think that it was because he desired more intellectual classmates, he decided that the law class of 1917 was not to his liking, and he consequentlv remained out of college 1917-17. The fall of 1917 found him one of the most earnest workers in getting inside informa- tion as to Boss ' s quizzes. Strut plans to take the bar exam after Commencement, and then to go to war if Uncle Sam will have him. He has been refused three times already he says. Just the enumeration of a few college honors, and we will give the reader a rest.

I Page Fifty ROBEKT SEEPELL KS, KB«), W. F., A0 I , S. and C. Belington, West Virginia Bob is tlie sort of chap who be- lieves in taking his time to accom- plish a certain end. Rather con- servative, slow to speak and act, there is nothing of the sensational about him, beyond the fact, note it please, that he has established the reputation of being a handsome ladies ' man and what time he could neglect from the pi ' esence of the fair sex he has devoted to the study of law. In glancing over Bob ' s his- tory, we conclude that he is fairly well equipi)ed educationally to leave Tucker Hall in June. Upon his graduation from Randolph Macon Academy, he entered Richmond Col- lege, and upon completing the course there, matriculated at Washington and Lee for law in 1913. Owing to unavoidable circumstances. Bob was compelled to remain out of college for two years, thus accounting for his presence with the class of 191S. He is the secretary-ti-easurer of his Senior Class. HARRY EDGAR SNYDER Keedysville, Maryland H. E. as he is familiarly known, comes from God ' s country, as he constantly describes his native state. He drifted into Tucker Hall from Maryland State College in the fall of 1916, and since then, his congenial nature, his quiet unassuming man- ner, and gentlemanly ways, have won him a high place in the estima- tion of his classmates. Although not a star, he is one of the most con- sistent and conscientious workers of the class. He still retains his love for Nature study begain at Maryland State, as is evidenced by his frequent week-end trips, during his Senior year, to behold enchanted the beauty of Natural Bridge. With his constant hammering determina- tion, Maryland in Harry Snyder ' ill have without doubt an upbuilder of the state. Page Fifty-one EGBERT BLAKE STOTLER A0 E) Clarksburg, West Virginia With just propriety, and without fear of calumny, we may fittingly call Bob The Prodigal Son. Of course, reasons must be given for this appellation. Bob took his B.S. degree in engineering in 1910 and followed the profession of civil and mining until the fall of 1916, when the call of his Alma Mater caused him to return and drink once more of her inexhaustible fountain of learning. This time, however, Bob put in his appearance at Tucker Hall. Immediately upon his arrival here, he became one of the old stand- bys for his conservative thinking and logical conclusions. The class honored him with the office of Presi- dent of the Senior Class. Bob says that he intends to lead the life of a secluded barrister until the world makes a beaten path to his door. Judging from his record, the path will soon be beaten. OTTO M. STUMPF 24 E Richmond, Virginia Behold Otto, the boy wonder of the Law School. For some reason or other Otto wasn ' t taken very seri- ously until he successfully gave Real Propei-ty a knock-out blow. Then it began to dawn upon us that he pos- sessed considerable legal talent, and also ability to cram over night. Ac- cording to Judge Quarles, Otto is destined to become a great corpcn a- tion lawyer. He says, moreover, that he expects to follow the Judge ' s ad- vice, and make that branch of the profession his life ' s work. His preparatory education was received at John Marshall High School before associating himself with the legal at- mosphere of Tucker Hall. He ex- pects to practice his profession in his native town of Richmond. His classmates extend to him their most cordial wishes in that work. Page Fifty-two JOSEPH STP:PHENS TIPTON HKA, HAN, I A Hillsville, Mrginia Who would think that this quiet, law abiding chap comes from such a place as Hillsville? It must be true, however, for Joe refuses to deny it. Coming to us from Hampden-Svdney with a B.A. degree, he has main- tained the high standard of the sons of his Alma Mater. Since making his appearance at the law school in 1910, he has consistently divided his time between Bill Higgins ' s pool room and Tucker Hall. But with all of this Joe is an excellent stu- dent and possesses one of the keen- est intellectual and analytical minds in the class. Joe, as a box artist, won his monogram in baseball in the short-lived season of 1917. Upon graduation he expects to take the bar exam and then enter the aviation STANLEY yILLIAMS KB Caddo, Oklahoma (xentlemen, I have in mind a gen- tleman of sociability, adaptability, affability, and capability.

I Well, we agree with Stretch. This describes our tall, handsome Slim to a i roverbial T. Slim followed the example of many others before him by spending two years in the academic department in order to acclimate himself to the campus rich in historic interest.

C(mii)ared with the Junior Law Class of last session, the entering class of this yeai- had sndered a decrease of about (iO ' . This great loss in numbers was not characteristic of Washington and Lee alone. Reports from all the law schools in the country showed a loss in law students even greater than that at Tucker Hall. What the Junior Law Class of the i resent year was lacking in number, was offset by the earnestness and sincerity of purjjose of most of the men. From the outset tlie new matriculates set themselves to hard and diligent labor. As in past years, Contracts and Keal Property proved to be the chief stumbling blocks in the path of the seekers of justice. Several of the Juniors who had distinguished themselves during the term by long and hrilliant argu- ments on the fioor of the classroom, wherein they had endeavored to elucidate the fundamental principles of the subject better than the professors were able to, were found among those who must repeat the courses. True it is that the ready and flowing tongue does not always indicate the amount of real knowledge. On the whole, however, the members of the class have upheld the high standards of past Junior classes. Even in the realm of college politics the class took early in the year an active interest, even to the extent of con- sidering running a candidate for the office of presidency of the student body. The class was the third to enter the law school under the administration of Joseph E. Long, affectionately called ' ' Uncle Joe by the law students at large. Dean Limg was found to be a capable and energetic professor, one who takes an active and continued interest in the men in his school. In the person of Judge Quarles the Juniors found a new professor. Judge Quarles after the first term, found it advisable to institute reading classes in his courses, whereby many of the class were enabled to better themselves in the fundamentals of one of the most important of the three ' R ' s. ' ' Boss IMoreland soon came into high esteem among the new men, who enjoyed his method of in- struction and profited gi ' eatly from it. For the future, the class hopes to maintain its roll as intact as possible in these war-time days. With con- tinued seriousness of purpose, the endeavor will be made to master carefully and accurately the funda mental principles of the greatest of professions, that of the laAV. That done, there is no dcmbt but that the suc- cess of the class in after life will be assiired. In years to come more than one eminent justice and prosperous barrister will be found, upon examination, to have been a member of the law class of W ' ashington and Lee that entered college in September, 1917.

L. in 1914 ; the Sophomores designated us as their special 1 ■ charges and initiated us into the mysteries of campus life. After - having successfully imbided these lessons, we passed them on to our successors, the present Juniors. But all of our time was by no means consumed in activities of this kind, for we were ably represented in football and intellectual line-uj)s, the publi- cations, basketball, social functions and musical performances. But all these things have been narrated by our chroniclers of tlie past three years. Although our numbers were small last year, they are still less this year because one-half of the class has answered the call of our nation and are now representing us in the various branches of service. But we have made up for our lack of quantity by the quality of our work, for one-fourth of the class are on the honor roll in scholastic work having made an average grade of A. WTiile the Class of 1918 has given up most of its athletes to help get Kaiser Bill, it still furnished the captain and center of the football team. We have also given editors for the three college publications, a manager for one of them and for basketball, a president for the student body, the Fancy Dress Ball and Finals. In bidding farewell to this sacred spot where we have received so much inspiration for futule life and service, the Seniors wish their Alma Mater long continuing success in training the youth of our land and hope to repay our great debt to her in every possible way. Page Sixty LESTER DALLAS AKXOLD OAK, S. and C, 2Y Lexington, Virginia It was a cold and wintry day in January of 1894 that a signal honor was bestowed upon the little town of Winchester, Virginia, by the grace of divine Providence. For it was then and there that Lester Dallas Arnold came into this cruel world. Since then L. D. has been making himself useful in various ways. Prepared for college at the McDonogh School, Maryland, he entered Washington and Lee in 1914 as a candidate for the B.A. degree. He has specialized in Commerce. Lester is an expert typewriter and stenographer, and has earned many a check by this means. A good student, L. D. has likewise taken an active interest in mu- sic and literary work, both in the societies and in publications. He expects to study law, in fact, he has taken some law work in his Senior year. But the next few years will probably see him in the service.

EDWIN MASSIE BELL B0n, OAK, ASP LeAvisburg, West il•gillia Some men are born great, some men achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Possibly of the first class, more probably of the second, and cer- tainly not of the third, is the subject of this sketch. For unsought as an end in itself, but nevertheless as the result of three years of hard and useful work, has come to Ned Bell the reputation which he holds of being one of the biggest men in the L ' niversity. Prepared for college at the first class mili- tary school of Greenbrier Presbyterial Mili- tary School, Lewisburg, W. V a., Ned en- tered Washington and Lee in 1914. As a Freshman he made an enviable record in many ways; for one thing he represented the college in an intercollegiate debate, and the W. L. team won. The Y. M. C. A. has been the great thing in Ned ' s college life. Earnestly, sincerely, and faithfully, he has advanced the interests of that group and has set a model to others of a clean, whole- souled, red-blooded college man. He expects to go as a medical missionary to the East. A most brilliant future is in store for him.

I ' age Sixty-one EDMUND DOUGLAS CAMPBELL ATO, W.F., OAK, BK Lexington, Virginia This youthful prodigy — for he will be but three months past nineteen when he is graduated — is a Rockbridge County product. In spite of this handicap, Eddie has managed to achieve great success during his four years of college life. With the single ex- ception of Percy Shannon ' s English 2, Eddie has never failed to make A ' s and B ' s ; and in this mishap, Eddie says the team C was due to a conference cut. Perhaps so Particularly in publications has Eddie taken a leading part, culminating in the Editor- ship of the Ring-tum Phi, his Senior year. As incumbent of this office, Eddie incurred the displeasure of a local character of whom a hound-dog lie had been told. Edmund expects to study law, particularly along economic lines. When the government calls, Eddie is willing to shoulder a gun, even though it may be bigger than he.

About a score or more years ago Francis T. arrived somewhere in the mountains of West Virginia. Being brought up in this wild country, naturally he chose Baltimore as a fitting place to prepare for a college career. At McDonogh School where he had his preparatory education, he did well in everything. Since coming here in 1914 he has kept up his high standard of achieve- ments. He has a cheerful disposition, and is an aggressive, diligent, energetic and conscientious worker in whatever he under- takes, having as his motto, ' Although I may not win, I am never conquered. But he has forsaken this maximum in one instance for he admits that Amor vincit omnia. He should be a good linguist for he has had all of Cutey ' s courses and all German as well. Francis has been just as active outside the classroom for he was Secretary-Treas- urer Graham-Lee two terms; Debater at An- nual Celebration, 1918; Historian Maryland Club, 1916- ' 17; Member Deutsche Verein; Managing Editor of Ring Turn Phi, 1917- ' 18; on Editorial Staff of Southern Col- legian, 1916- ' 17; won French Scholarship, 1916- ' 17; Instructor in French, 1917- ' 18. Page Sixty-two NELSON EAKL BARKER CRANFOR] ) Jasper, Alabama Neb caused great consternation in the Faculty by wanting to take Greek III and Latin III in his Freshman year, but after all the arts of persuasion had been used upon his classic nature, he reluctantly ac- ceded to the wish of Frof. Hogue and Dr. Kern that they be allowed a year in which to review these courses. He had to enter the beginners ' courses in both of these subjects, but, as he expressed it, it was a useless waste of time. Nelson Earl Barker Cranford was born in Jasper, Alabama, December 9, 1898. For four short years he loafed at the Walker County High School, and then entered Washington and Lee in September, 1915. As a student, Neb has taken to the classics as a German to murder, with the result that he has accumulated a great store of ancient lore. During his Senior year he has carried nine courses, making an average of but lit- tle less than A. Like a true Greek, Neb took to athletic sport. He rowed on the Albert Sidney second crew his Freshman year, and all signs point to his making the first crew this year. He deserves four years at Washington and Lee and accordingly Barker plans to return next fall for an M.A. JOHN LOUIS DRISCOLL Louisville, Ky. Dris never tires of expounding to the Appleknockers the wonders of Louisville, in which garden spot he began his promising career some twenty-one years ago. Having mastered the grammar schools and made short work of Louisville Male High, he entered W. L. in the fall of 1914, since which date he has made a consistently good record incidently demonstrating that honor rolls and Wayland ' s are not incompatible. Liv ' s Math. in his favorite field of con- quest but German 2, 3 and 4 succombed with equal ease to his powers of linguistic assimi- lation. As though to prove still further the diversity of his abilities he captured an as- sistantship in English 1917- ' 18 and was first sergeant of Co. A. It is rumored that Dris has a decided or rather undecided inclin- ation for the jewelry business. Whatever line of activity he takes up, however, his many friends and acquaintances at Wash- ington and Lee feel sure he will make good Fage Sixty-three JOHN MOKTON EGGLESTON K2 Charlotte Courthouse, Va. Allow us to present a man who has been with us for the greater part of the past two years. We regret this, for twenty years of have been spent elsewhere. Eggleston re- ceived his preparatory training at Charlotte High School and at Randolph College; being thus enabled to get his B.A. with us in June. Although he has been at W. L. only half the usual time, Eggleston has made many friends here who are sorry not to have known him throughout the regular period of college work. Eggleston expects to enlist in some branch of the national service this summer and is undecided as to his life work. But his friends feel confident that upon his safe return from the war that he will make his mark in whatever line of business or professional work he may see fit to take up. Painstaking effort is always rewarded. JOHN CALEB EKWIN B®n McKinuey, Texas This wild and wooly Westerner was born in McKinney on August 21, 1897. Doc attended high school in McKinney for three years. He then went to Austin College for two years. After trying the University of Texas for one year, he decided that he would have to get his B.A. degree from Washing- ton and Lee if his education were to be com- plete. Accordingly he entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1917. Erwin expects to study medicine and eventually practice his profession in Texas. More likely, however, as far as the immediate future is concerned, he is destined to go to France and practice on the Kaiser. Doc is a good student and can be drawn away from his books only by a chance to tell his bow-boy and Indian stories. In the year that he has been at Washington and Lee he has made many friends, who all wish for him the greatest of success in later life. Page Sixty-four WITT FOX 2X Oulleoka, Tennessee The 17th of October is a legal holiday in Culleoka, Tennessee. The banks close, the picture show is locked up, the stores and factories do no business. All in honor of the gentleman whose face is reproduced above ! And for a good reason — he is the only track man that the town has ever put out. He is a good one too, as illustrated by the fact that he was on the first cross country team that W. L. ever had, and the team won, too. Entering college in 1913, Witt remained out in the session of 1916-17, to help keep the home fires burning. Not able longer to stand the quiet life, he returned this year for his degree. Elected captain of the 1917 Cross Country Team, he resigned to devote the time to his studies. Besides track, Witt has several hobbies: suicide basketball, Physics I, and History n. At most any hour of the day you can see Witt hot-footing it across the campus in front of Miss Annie ' s library, paper in hand, with a prayer on his lips that his work may not be returned with the direful, Too small or Too large. Witt expects to be a farmer. RALPH ARTHUR GOLDBP RG Madison, Florida Ralph was born at High Springs, Florida, on June 1, 1897. While a mere child, he moved to Madison in the same state, where he attended the public schools, graduating from the Madison High School in 1913. Feeling that his intellectual appetite was still unsatiated he entered the University of Florida, which he attended from 1913 to 1915. In the fall of the latter year he same to Lexington. What attracted him from the Everglades we do not know, not the president ' s line of talk, surely, for Ralph has one of his own. Since his arrival at the heart of the South he has entered prominently into the various activities. He has been a member of the band for three years, and of the Washington Literary So- ciety. Other honors: First Lieutenant of Company B, W. L. P. T. B.; Business Man- ager of Southern Collegian, 1918. Ralph expects to study law eventually, but at the present he plans to go into the army and get Bill. Fage Sixty-five CHARLES PHILLIPS HANGER, JR. Staunton, ' irg•iuia Charles P. Hanger, Jr., better known as Phil, came to light on July 17, 1895, in the Queen City of the Valley almost within sight of President Wilson ' s birth- place. Phil graduated at Staunton High School and not content with anything less than a A.B. entered W. L. in 1914. Since C. P. has been with us he has been very studious as his work in German and Eng- lish will testify. Phil has not spent all his time in studying but has taken part in many other collegiate activities. He was Secretary and Treasurer of Graham-Lee, manager of the Junior and Senior football and basketball teams, and historian of the Junior and Senior classes. Phil expects to make teaching his life work and we are sure that he will be successful. ERNEST WIGHTMAN HARWOOD Pamplin, Virginia Dick gathered his early education at various places, ending with a diploma from Appomattox High School in 1914. The fol- lowing fall, he entered W. L., and since then he has steadily worked his way nearer and nearer the ranks of the Sharks. His only aversion is for one of Liv ' s exams. History is his strong point; even Doc condescending to dub him his Old Relia- ble. His favorite exam grades are 97 and 98. He won the history scholarship in ' 16- ' 17. Dick held a sergeantcy in Co. C, but resigned on account of pressure of academic work. We suspect the real cause was the heavy correspondence course he is carrying. Certainly his favorite resort is the P. O., and the day is rare which does not bring him an enormous missive bearing a New York postmark. Perhaps this explains why he has selected Columbia for his post- graduate work. Page Sixty-six FULTON WEIGHT HOGE A0, HAN, C.C., KB$ Frankfort, Kentucky Fulton Wright Hoge is a delegate from old Kentucky, and has been ver - able in advocating the spirit of that commonwealth. He was born in Frankfort, August 13, 1897, and took his preparatory work in Frankfort High School. After trying one year at the University of Arizona, he returned to the East and found a congenial place at Wash- ington and Lee in the fall of 1914. Quiet and unassuming, Fulton endeavored to get all the good out of college, and at the same time to enjoy life and not let classes inter- fere unduly with the business of being a student. If a morning is well adapted to the courting of Morpheus, he woes to his heart ' s content, and goes to class the next day. English has appealed to Fulton in particular and he has done good work in that department, as well as in others, pro- vided the)- appealed to him. In fact he is worthy of the designation shark in his pet courses. Ring-turn Phi Staff, 1917- ' 18. GEOEGE TEEAT HOLBEOOK $A0, IIAN, Square and Compass Coldwater, Michigan Doc is a Michigander, but no one has accused him of being a Yankee. His dis- position made a perfect hit with the climate and ideals of the Sunny South. His air of deep learning and dignified reserve leads many verdant Freshmen to think that his title of Doc indicates a Ph.D. degree. Although such is not the case, his ability as a student makes it highly possible that the nick-name will become a reality in the fu- ture. In addition to aptitude for academic work, Doc has shown capacity for many other lines of endeavor during the five years he has sojourned at Washington and Lee. He is an all-around college man, an execu- tive of no mean abilit} having demonstrated the latter in the handling of important posi- tions, and he has even written poetry. He is fully deserving of the honor that was conferred upon him by his class, in electing him President of the Class of 1918.

In his Freshman year, Rocky let the pro- fessors know that he meant business, with such good results that he has been on the Honor Roll ever since, with a few excep- tions only. Studies have only been a part of his life here, however, and Rocky has made himself one of the best known and liked men on the campus. When the W. L. P. T. B. was formed. General Holt found that here was a real chance to become famous and to show the boys what kind of drilling the G. P. M. S. fellows get. He showed it to be so good, that he has since held responsible positions in the battalion, being the Adjutant this year. The Senior Academic Class honored him with election to the Executive Commit- tee, 1917- ' 18. He will be but twenty when he gets his degree this spring, won by three years of hard, but very profitable labor. After that, war, says Homer. JAMES LEWIS HOWE, JR. BOn Lexington, Virginia J enlivened the historical town of Lex- ington by his arrival on the 25th of August, 1897. After attending Lexington High School for four years, he went north and spent one year at Dummer Academy, Byfield, Massachusetts, searching for knowledge. Hearing the call of the Old Dominion State, he entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1914. Chemistry has been J ' s special line of study. He has not chosen his life work, but says it will be either medicine or chemistry. He is a member of the Chemical Society and has held several offices in that organization. He is also a member of the Graham-Lee Literary Society. J is a golfer and, when not in the laboratory, spends most of his time on the links. He has tied every record made on the local course. In leaving college, J car- ries with him the wishes of his many friends that he may not only tie the highest records for success in his profession, but mav exceed them. Page Sixty-eight EOY AYINDOL Le GRAND HUKST 2Y, $BK Cliesterfield, South Carolina A little more than twenty years ago the small town of Chesterfield, South Carolina, greeted Roy Windol Le Grand Hurst, and asked him to put here on the map. He promised, he set to work to do his task, he succeeded. After mastering all the learning that the town afforded, Roy came to Lexington in the search of further material for the produc- tion of gray matter. Thus it was that since September 1914, the ambitious young South- ern fire-eater has been on the campus around Main Building. To a casual observer, Roy seems perfectly normal. The fact is, how- ever, that he has a mania! It ' s for scholar- ships. Each year he has won one. The first year it was in Latin, the next in Geol- ogy, and last session he was given the Young Scholarship. An all A record for 1916- ' 17, and an instructorship in French 1917- ' 18 show just how thorough he is. Those who know him well can speak for his steady sterling worth. He will probably enter banking or business. RAY HT (iHES JARYIS Hubbard, Texa.s In the thriving metropolis of Hubbard, Texas, was born this wild and rampant ranger. After a rather uneventful child- hood, Ray entered the University of Texas, only to desert it soon in favor of Washing- ton and Lee. Entering here in the fall of 1915, he has worked so well since that he secures this spring his B.A. degree. All those requiring definite information concerning the Lone Star State, or of the price of cotton and grain, need only to come to Ray, for he is an authority on these things. We have it confidentially that he expects to corner a market on the latter commodity in the near future. Ray maj ' continue his study of Commerce in other fields, if, like the rest of us, he is not called to help settle the war and put Kaiser Bill where he can safely boil down. As a debater, Ray has often shown his ability to the Washington Literary Society of which he has been a member. Page Sixty-nine WILLIAM HORACE JETER Covington, Virginia Near the border line between Virginia and West Virginia is a little town known as Covington — barely on the safe side of the line. To a person passing through on the C. and O. Limited, this place has a very unprepossessing appearance. In reality it is a town deserving of national, yes, of in- ternational renown. For it is the home of Horace Jeter. Deserting the town that he has since made famous, Horace entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1915 and at once set to work, with the result that he will get his degree after only three 3 ' ears ' study. Horace got the reputation as a genu- ine shark his first two years here, but some- how or other, something happened his Senior year and he actually made some grades be- low A. But that does not ofFset the fact that he is a splendid fellow, congenial, warm- hearted, and well-liked. He has specialized in Chemistry and Biology. We suspect that he will become a doctor. Secretary of the Interfraternity Confer- ence, 1917- ' 18; Winner of the Chemistry Scholarship, 1916. ADOLPH SIM MARX Lake Charles, Louisiana Sim (Buster to his intimate friends), first began to dance on August 12, 1897, at Lake Charles, and has been dancing ever since. He entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1914 and made his reputation as an end on the class football team. This last year he was elected captain of his class team. Sim was not cut out particularly for an athlete, however, but he certainly has dis- tinguished himself in the Commerce School, where he has knocked down A ' s right and left. Sim is a great admirer of the Terpsi- chorean art, and he never fails to give the ladies a treat at the gym. He expects to enter business at Lake Charles and will no doubt become the Wanamaker of the South. Not only will his training in the School of Commerce be of help, but also the expe- rience gained during his Senior year in rearing his room-mates Felsenthal and Sil- verstein. Page Seventy ■ i ' JOHN HENRY FITZHUGH MAYO SAE, W.F. West River, Maryland This elongated product of West River left the Episcopal High School in the spring of 1914 and after storing enough energy during the following three months ' sojourn with his pal, Morpheus, sallied forth from home and in the fall of the same year en- tered Washington and Lee. Since coming here his easy going, imperturbable manner has gone hand in hand with his slow but sure method of gaining success both in classes and on the campus. In addition to his success in these lines he has gained wide fame as a playwright and actor through the White Friar show last fall. Fitz intends to enter some branch of the service in the near future. His later life is somewhat undecided, but his many friends are sure that whatever line of work he does undertake, he will make a name for himself. JOHN LISLE MoCHORD Lebanon, Keutuekv Kentucky is famous for several things — one of them is John McChord. Born and raised in that celebrated commonwealth, John came to Washington and Lee for the first time in 1914. The following year the President of the University called an as- sembh ' to consider a matter of grave im- portance: John McChord had not returned. It seems that a trip to the Orient and the Philippines had so delayed our adventurer, that it Was the month of November before the Golden Gate was reached on the return trip. Of course Washington and Lee could not receive him so late, the damage had been done already. So John went to Center Col- lege, Kentucky, that session, where he was introduced into society by Colonel Shoun. Back again to W. L. John came in 1916 and he has since remained. His last year was featured by his holiday stay at the White House, Washington. A likable and sociable chap, his many friends wish him the greatest of good luck.

George is another of the Rockbridge boys and did not have to become acclimated for he was born one mile north of Fairfield on October 21 and has been growing accus- tomed to the worst freaks of Jack Frost for the last 21 years. But Mac ' s enormous energies could not be consumed in the ad- miration of Winter ' s beauties for he found time to complete with distinction the pre- scribed course at Fairfield High School. On a fine morning in September 1914, George, still a mere lad wearing knee trousers, boarded the Virginia Creeper to begin his academic career among the Generals. Al- though short of statue, Mac is great in every other respect, having done well in all he has undertaken, but especially in his favorite studies. Chemistry and History, in the latter of which he won a scholarship. The call of the land is so insistent to George that he can scarcely resist it to get his B.A. in June. We hate to part with little Mac but he feels that he must for- sake Chemistry, History and debating in Graham-Lee to take up Agriculture as his life work. SAMl EL EVANS MOEETON, JK. 2X, I BK Bi ' ookhaven, Missiissipiji Sammie first saw the light of this world upon the 27th of May, 1898, at Cold Springs, Mississippi. At the time, his par- ents did not guess that their Sammie was to become a shark in the science world. They were awakened to the fact, however, when they found him one day cutting his teeth on the Scientific World. With the avowed purpose of missing the system of Reid Hall, Sammie entered Washington and Lee in 1915. Although quiet and unassuming, yet he demonstrated his ability by copping the Engineering Scholarship in 191S- ' 16, and literally batted Dr. Stevens ' Physics for two years. All those who know Sammie see in him the faithful and persevering spirit that has ever been characteristic of his work and that is certain to carry him successfully through the problems of the future, or over the top. He was appointed assistant in the Physics Department when Dr. Dickey left college, the winter of 1918. His last months of Washington and Lee life, therefore, di- vided between this work and the baffling study of history, have been busy ones. Sammie expects to study electrical engi- neering at Boston Tech. next year, if he does not enter the army before that time Page Seventy-two DAVID SHARPLEY NOBLE AXP, OAK, 2Y, S. and C, J BK Lexington, ' iiginia Dave entered Washington and Lee in 1913, coming from the Huntington High School, West Virginia. Somehow or other he considered law to be the great profes- sion and accordingly specialized in history and English for two years as preparation for matriculation in the law school, 1915. But the call of history proved stronger than that of the law and in the spring of 1916 Dave returned to the academic school, after having passed all the law work taken. As assistant in the history department and stu- dent in other departments, he has been work- ing since for his B.A. degree. Dave at- tended Michigan Summer School, 1916, and Wisconsin, 1917. Besides being interested in his studies, Dave has been prominent in publication work, having served as Editor- in-Chief of two publications, the Collegian 1917, and the Calyx 1918. During his Senior year he served on the staffs of all three publications. Dave plans to study at Har- vard and end up as a history professor.

His many honors will be culmin- ated when he gets his diploma, and leads the Final Ball in June. And to think that he is a native of Lexington and will not be twenty years old until the day after he re- ceives his sheepskin!

Page Se ' venty-three WILLIAM yARKEN SAGEE Washington, D. C. Shades of Patrick Henry! Observe close- ly the physiognomy of this modern disciple of Demosthenes, and you will not marvel at his power of captivating the affections and swaying the passions of a Lexington audi- ence. Warren first began to demonstrate his vocal abilities at Woodstock, Virginia, on January 8, 1898, and has been talking ever since. After attending Winchester High School, he mounted the southbound Creeper, and entered Washington and Lee in Sep- tember, 1914. That he has been not merely a successful student at college is attested by the following: Manager Southern Collegian, 1916- ' 17; Vice-President Junior Class, 1916- ' 17; Secretary and Treasurer Albert-Sidney Boat Club and Member of the Crew Com- mittee; Vice-President Graham-Lee; De- bater Annual Celebration, 1916- ' 17 and Winner of Debater ' s Medal, 1917- ' 18; Mem- ber of Debating Council, 1917- ' 18; Class Football Team, 1916- ' 17. CHAELES SIDNEY SAVILLE Murat, Virginia Charles lives so near Lexington that he might be chronicaled as a Lexington were it not for the fact that Murat would bring suit and prove that he was born at the latter place on December 4, 1895. It would also be proved that he graduated at Palmer High School and has spent most of his happy life within the dominion of Murat. In the face of this strong evidence of priority of claim, Lexington contents herself with calling him a Rockbridge boy. Charlie began to honor Lexington with his presence in September, 1913. But Murat could not spare him for longer than one year. The call became so insistent that he had to silence it with a year of his valuable time. At the end of that time Murat condescended to let him come back to college where he will get his B.A. degree in June. Charlie says he ex- pects to teach unless Uncle Sam claims him first. Therefore, he is undecided as to his life work. Page Se ' veniy-four ARCHIBALD BOLLING SHEPPERSON B0n Charlotte Conrt-House, ' i gillia Shep became part of the inhabitants of Charlotte C. H. on the twentieth of March, 1897, and has honored that place with his presence most of the time since. He finished Charlotte High School in the spring of 1914, and came to Washington and Lee that fall. English has been his special line of study and he expects to put it into use in journalism, which occupation he has chosen for his life work. Before he takes up his work, however, he intends to enlist in the U. S. Navy. Some of Shep ' s activities while at W. L. were: Mandolin and Glee Clubs, 1916- ' 17; Associate Editor of Southern Colle- gian, 1916- ' 17, 1917- ' 18, and of the Ring-tum Phi, 1917- ' 18; Graham-Lee Literary Society; Harry Lee Boat Club; Assistant Librarian, 1916- ' 17, 1917- ' 18; and Assistant in English, 1917- ' 18. MURRAY CLYDE SHOUX AKE. KB Jefferson Citv, Tennessee Murray C. Shoun, better known as Colo- nel Shoun, for he is a Kentucky Colonel by virtue of an appointment to the staff of Governor Stanley of the said commonwealth, is a Tennesseean by birth, a Kentuckian by adoption, and a Virginian by choice. The Colonel was born at Mountain City, Ten- nessee, August 2, 1896, and prepared for college at the Carson-Newman Preparatory School in Jefferson City. Later he attended Carson-Newman College, going from there to Centre College, Danville, Kentucky. After two gay social seasons in Danville, he went to the summer school at the LTniversity of Virginia, where it is said that he made two years ' work in one summer. The tradi- tions and legends of Washington and Lee fascinated this cultured adventurer, and he made his first speech in Lexington on Sep- tember 12, 1917. The Colonel ' s life work, like everything else concerning him, is un- decided, but he hopes to enter the navy after getting his degree in June. He is the manager of the 1918 Calyx. Page Sez ' enty-fi ' ve FRANCI HOLMf:S STYLES Falls Cluirdi, ' irginia Francis H. was born in Lansdowne, Pa., on December 15, 1895. After living in sev- eral different states he finally moved to the historic town he now calls home. He re- ceived his preparatory work at Western High School, Washington, D. C. He entered W. L. in the fall of 1915. 1919 seemed too long for him to wait for his degree, so he resolved to get it in 1918. For this rea- son we find him among us. College studies have not absorbed all his time, for he was Treasurer of Freshman Class, 1915- ' 16; member of Finance Committee for Sopho- more Class, 1916- ' 17; bass in the Glee Club, 1916- ' 17; and on the track squad each year. Francis is usually serious-minded, but not so with the fair sex. He does, however, seem to enjoy writing and receiving letters from one known as Maw. This young man, we feel sure, will make his mark in whatever he undertakes. His present in- tentions are to make himself a future United States consul or diplomat. BENJAMIN FLOURXOY TILLAK KA, HAN, C.C, 1:5, 5, OAK Eiupoi-ia, A ' irgiiiia One seventh day of October in the late nineties of the last century, there was a darkening of the skies, muffled detonations of heavy thunder, jagged streaks of light- ning across the Virginia heavens, and a great terror among the folk of the country. Such were the accompaniments of nature to the birth of Flournoy Tillar at Emporia, Virginia, forecasting for the infant a future of great deeds. Prepared for action at Em- poria High School, Flournoy entered Wash- ington and Lee in 1914. Since then he has been a factor of great importance in the running of campus affairs. His activities have embraced those of the student and those of the campus leader, as his list of honors and fraternities clearly show. Killing Huns is the future immediately in store for him, then the more peaceful occupation of com- mercial life, for which he has been well prepared at the local Commerce School. Success for him is not a matter of conjec- ture, it is a surety. Assistant Manager of the Ring-tum Phi, 1915- ' 16; Manager of the same, 1916- ' 17; Senior Executive Committeeman, Fall, 1917; President of the Student Body, Winter and Spring Terms, 1918; Secretarv-Treasurer of C.

Page Seventy-six VIEGIL JUAN TROTTEK KA Monticello, Arkansas Hendrix College, Arkansas, was the fortunate recipient of Juan ' s first attentions. The path of love never runs smooth, they say, and so in this case, for Hendrix Col- lege was cruelly jilted by Juan in 1916 when he entered Washington and Lee after a two years ' courtship with Hendrix. The time that he has spent with his new love, is therefore rather short. Nevertheless it has been long enough for him to gain the sincere friendship and high regard of a large num- ber of friends. To these friends his sterling worth has been made known. They see in him a true man, a conscientious worker, and a student with a firm determination to forge ahead. For his success in the business world as a banker, his class and college friends extend heartiest wishes. If he continues to manifest the same spirit that has characterized him while here, we feel sure that this success will indeed be assured. CAKTEK TYLER even Mile Ford, Virginia Carter was born at Seven Mile Ford, in Southwest Virginia, 1897. After completing his high school education, he entered Emorv and Henry College, where he was an honor man in his class and won considerable re- nown in debating. In September, 1916, he entered the sacred halls of Washington and Lee, and has since specialized in the Com- merce School. He is a fellow that is not afraid of hard stud} ' , and as a result he has made a creditable record in his work. Al- though Carter gives much of his time to his studies, he is interested in all college activi- ties, especially in basketball and debating. Carter is a man with a fine mind, a strong will, and a forceful personality, backed with common sense and tact. In whatever line of work he decides eventually to make his liv- ing, he are sure he will be a credit to his college and to himself. Page Seventy-seven ALEXANDER SPEUNT WATKINS 2N, HAN Henderson, North Carolina Wat was born down in No ' th Cah-lina sometime during 1894. Prepared for col- lege at the Warrenton High School, North Carolina, he entered Washington and Lee in 1914 as a Freshman. The four years that Wat has spent upon the campus have proved him to be really worth while. His college work has been done in a careful, serious way, and his record in scholarship is good. He has taken an active interest in university life, as witnessed by his list of college honors. Eventually he expects to enter business life, but for the immediate fu- ture he plans to help sink U-boats, as he is an enlisted member of the Naval Reserves awaiting call. His friends, and they are many, extend to Wat sincere wishes for future success and fortune.

JAMES WILSON WHITELAW Memphis, Tennessee Doc Whitelaw is distinguished particu- larly for two things: he is the last Senior to appear in the class representation because his name starts with Wh, thus letting the Wa of Watkins beat him out, and in the fact that he was the last person to announce himself a candidate for a degree. In truth, Doc is an apostate. In the early days of February he still claimed to be a Junior. As such he continued to hold the office given him last year of president. But once the Junior Prom was over, and he had led the figure, the editor of the Calyx was informed that Doc Whitelaw demanded Senior representation. Clever fellow! Doc is big-hearted, kindly, and genial. He has won a large number of warm friends since he entered Washington and Lee in 1915. In the life of the campus, he has taken a great interest, being the Captain of the Freshman Football Team in 1915; Man- ager of the Sophomore Team in 1916, and President of the Junior Class, 1917- ' 18. Be- tween chemistry physics, and Dr. Riley ' s his- tory courses, Whitney has had his hands full.

In the first place, it is purely a local institution, every mem- ber hailing from Rockbridge County. In the second place, every member of the class is either an assistant or an instructor in one or another department of the Univei ' sity. In the third place, the members of the class show an unusually equal division in their ambitions, an even third specializing in chemistry, a third in physics, and a third in civil engineerng. And in the fourth place, it is the smallest class in the history of the School of Applied Science, consisting of but thr-ee members. The latter fact, like most other things, can be credited up to the war, as four ex-members of the class have entered the army. Hallman and Swecker, just before the close of last session, dropped out, one to get his commission in the first series of training camps, the other to go with the Washington and Lee Ambulance Section. Of the five who remained at the opening of the present session, Christy left us during the first term to enlist in the Engineer Corps, and a few weeks later, Seebert entered the Aviation Corps. Good men, they were, and much missed. Of we who remain, there is little to be said. For it is a matter of fact, universally admitted by generations of senior science classes, that we are the most over-Avorked men in the University, and we have little time for things of general interest. But we ' ve been working away, and some day we hope to be heard from. Historian. Page Eighty RAYMOND MELVILLE BEAR Glasgow, Va. He ' s rather quiet, is R. Melville Bear, and like most of the rest of the unfortunate con- tenders for the B.S. degree, he doesn ' t stra}- so far from the halls of science. But in his own domain, among those who know him best, he passes as a mighty good fellow, with a mighty good head, and a good deal more. Bear was born at Natural Bridge, Vir- ginia, on the twelfth of August, 1897, but later drifted down the James to Glasgow, where he received his preliminary edu- cation in the Glasgow High School. In the fall of nineteen fourteen he came to Wash- ington and Lee and took up the gentle past- time of collecting scholarships, as follows: 1915, Chemistry Department Scholarship; 1916, Franklin Society Scholarship; 1917, Physics Department Scholarship. During the present session, he has held down the po- sition of Assistant in Physics, and the rumors emanating from his laboratory indicate that he has held it down in an altogether credit- able manner. What he will do after this year, he has not as yet decided. yiLLL J[ JUXKIX COX J rA, BK, OAK. ASP, HAN Lexington, Virginia Bilh ' spoils the otherwise unblemished record of his class, as he had the misfortune to be born in Portland, Oregon, instead of Rockridge County. But he migrated to the latter place early in life, and so lays claim to being of indigenous growth. He got his earlv education in the Lexington School, and entered W. L. in 1913. He took an A.B. degree last year, being valedictorian of his class, and this session returned for a B.S. in Civil Engineering. In his academic school days, Billy mingled to a greater or less extent in the affairs of the campus, but this year he has confined himself prett} ' closely to Reid Hall, his only campus amusement being the W. L. T. B., in which he has been lieutenant and adjutant, the first lieutenant of B Company. After the war, he tells us, he is going to be a civil engineer, and this sum- mer he expects to enter the Engineer Corps of the army. During this session he has been Instructor in Engineering, and holder of the Mapleson Scholarship. Page Eighty-one WILLIAM GLADSTONE SMITH SAVILLE Murat, ' a. William Gladstone Smith Saville is about as long as his name, which is doing pretty well, considering his tender years. For Stoney is the infant of the class, not hav- ing made his appearance on this terrestrial sphere until the thirteenth of April, 1898. Like the rest of the class, he is a local pro- duct, claiming Murat, Rockbridge County, Virginia, as his home and birthplace. He was educated at Palmer High School, near Lexington, and entered Washington and Lee in 1914. Since that time he has spent many hours in the chemical laboratories, and from what we hear, he has a wide knowledge of those mysterious processes which lend such an olfactory charm to the southwest wing of the Main Building. Stoney is taking a general B.S., but with special emphasis on chemistry, which he ex- pects to make his profession. He is an as- sistant in that department this year. Some day, his many friends expect to hear great things of him. Page Eighty-tiuo Y ommi OFFICERS President Jackson Rosse Collins Historian William Olin Burtner Page Eighty-three WILLIAM OLIN BURTNER, B.A. AXP, OAK, a BK, 2Y, ASP Harrisonburg, Virginia Burt entered Washington and Lee in 1914, after having honored Harrisonburg with his society for eighteen years. A BA. degree proved a small matter to Burt for he was graduated in three years, acquiring a Phi Beta Kappa key in the process. This spring he receives a M.A., with majors in English and Philosophy, and attainments in French and German. Besides being a first- rate student and a likable fellow, Burt is one of the best wrestlers in college. In the future he expects to teach or to practice law. Vague rumors, however, suggest that he may not do this alone for any length of time. More than this we would hardly care to say. He has won innumerable honors in liter- ary society work, as an undergraduate, in- cluding the Orator ' s Medal, 1917 Finals. Other honors: Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, 1916- ' 17, 1917- ' 18; Instructor in English, 1917- ' 18; Howard Houston Fellowship, 1917; Southern Collegian Staff, ' 1917- ' 18. JACKSON ROSSE COLLINS, B.A. Centi ' e ' ille, Maryland Jack hails from the Eastern Shore, Mary- Maryland. He entered Washington and Lee in 1914 and received his B.A. degree after three years ' hard work at Commencement, 1917. So well did he like the college, that he returned this last fall for his Master ' s degree. Jack has both persistency and consistency — two jewels instead of one, you see. He reasoned that time was money and that three years was time enough for the Bache- lor ' s diploma. As a graduate student. Jack is devoting his time entirely to work in the School of Commerce, and he is in his ele- ment. But as to his life work, Fate shall decide, says Jack. He has taken interest in literary work as a member of the Washington Literary So- ciety. This year he represented Old Wash as debater at the Annual . Celebration in Washington.

The niembeis soon perceived that in union lay strength and to this effect they as- sembled in Keid Hall, almost two hundred strong, and elected officers, and a leader for the impending pushball tight. So ably did this leader select and marshall his men that the Sophomores were shattered by the phalanx of the Fresh. The wreath of victory was then found to contain an unexpected thorn. The edict of the S ' igilance Committee went forth that such an affront could not re- main unavenged. Their decrees were exe- cuted remorselessly, but the r esult was the binding of the class moi-e closely together. The spirit of Ml) was exceeded only by the old Alma Mater spirit. Upon the occasion of the Freshman hats being discarded precedent was given a rude jolt and quite an innovation introduced. From a pyre in front of McCrmus, 175 hats ascended in black smoke with appropriate attendant ceremonies, culminating in a sumptuous Beanery banquet. hien the class returned in the fall of 1916 many old faces were missed. Some returning had assumed the proverbial wise fool characteristics of the Soph, but it acted as a leaven unto the whole rather than as a detriment. Having won their second push-ball fight, this time from the verdant Fresli- men, and, by necessary coercion, started them on the strait and difficult path of learning and rectiitude, the class tunied its energy to more impoi ' tant fields of effort. In the interclass athletic meet the representatives of 1019 were sufcessful in overcoming their ri -al classes. But it was not pennitted that other activities should interfere with the fundamental aim of acquiring an education. The number of scholastic hcmor men expected by normal ap- portionment to exist in the class was considerably exceeded. Sophomores prove to be intellectual stars, was the tacit announcement found upon one occasion in the Ring-turn Phi. In April, when war was declared against autocracy and vandalism, the class began to be drained of its best blood. By commencement many had answei-ed the call of patriotism, and during the summer many more enlisted under the standard of democracy. Thirty-five of the old guard registered for the session of 1917-lS, but they have ably and willingly borne the burden of those who have laid the pen and taken up the sword. The Class of 1919 is a unity in spirit and in loyal- ty to its Alma Mater, even though nuuiy have foregone the i)ursuit of the sheei skin until the world has been nuule safe for justice and democracy.

From that momentous night the honor- able Sophomores have worn their own head- dress and well lived up to the motto implied by their name, If ignorance is bliss, ' tis folly to be wise. But it has not all been idle play this year. The men of ' 2(t have been represented in every phase of campus life. They have borne their share of the responsibilities and taken their part in the big things accom- plished this year. While many of them have stayed to work and toil for the University, an equal number have offered their services to the government, and are now fighting and giving their all for their country. Quite different are they this year from the light minded, irresponsible youngsters who assembled for the first time two years ago. Since then, they have been called upon to make sacrifices worthy of men, to stand for high principles, and to defend the lionor of their Alma Mater and their Country, are made thoughtful and grave by the fact that they too may soon be called on to make the supreme sacrifice. Yes, thoughtful and grave, but also proud and glad that they are accounted worthy to make that sacrifice. It is with a mixture of pride and sad- ness that the events of tlie last two years are recalled. Pride, because of the things won. hard work completed, growth from youth in- to manhood, and because of the honor of serving our country. Sadness, because the nation has been plung ' ed into an awful war, because so many of our friends have left and gone and sadness because of the terrible destruction which awaits our boys when their turn comes.

Kern Jr. Pfl « Ninety-three President Sloan Freshman Class History The Claas of 1921 made its appearance last September with an enroll- ment of about one hundred and forty. Since then, through such agents as war and the automatic, our members have been reduced to a bare one hun- dred. However, we are by no means discouraged; for we feel that we have many causes for being proud of ourselves. Warned by the editor of The Calyx carefully to avoid the bull, we must refrain from going into detail with regard to our many achievements. It is sufficient to say that we have been well represented in all student acti ' 1ties — physical, mental, moral, musi- cal, and other-nise. We do not claim to be the greatest class that has ever been known; but we all feel that, with no vain boasting, we can say: YENI, VIDI, YICI. As to our future, it is too early for us to say much. At present owv chief hope is that each and every one of us may return next year to the college we have learned to love so much. Our greatest ambition is that we may be known not as mere Freshmen, but as true Washington and Lee men. HiSTORLVN. Co, r M rrxEEMAN Kern Page Ninety-four S. W. Alderfer, ATA L. J. Fox, B0n (t. G.

Wisdom, TA Page Ninety-six Page Ninety-seven Washington and Lee in War-Time ' -— WASHINGTON and LEE wos founded as the Augus ta Atademy in 174!). ■ J about twenty miles north of Ivexington, and doubtless many of its V earliest students and alumni defended their valley homes against marauding Indians. Some months before the great Declaration of July i, 70. the old name disappeared in the blaze of awakening patriotism. and the institution rechristened Liberty Hall sent her sons to the aid of Wash- ington. A few years later the Academy was moved to Lexington. At the close of the struggle. Washington, after long consideration, en- d(Kwed the Academy with |5(),00() and fonnally authorized it to bear his great name. The sons of Washington College fought the British again in 1812, helped conquer Mexico in ' 48, and in 1861 left the campus in n body as the Liberty Hall volunteers to defend the South from invasion. As George Washington, the noblest figure of our early history, chose Liberty Hall, that it might utilize his wealth and bear his name, so the im- mortal Lee, having no money, gave himself to the institution founded by his great kinsman. For five years he poured his energies into its rebuilding and expansion and set for all times i ts ideals of chivalry, courtesy, patriotism, and broad natiorial spirit. So when German duplicity and barbarity passed its menacing shadow over our fair land, no wonder that the campus of Washington and Lee blazed anew with the old fire of patriotism. On the 21st of last March, before Congress had even assembled. President Smith wrote our alumnus. Secretary of War Baker, that we wished to estab- lish Military Training at once. On April 2, the faculty and Board of Trustees voted unanimously to inaugurate Military Training at once, and on the 6th made formal application to the War Department for the establishment of a Eeserve Officers ' Training Corps with the detail of an officer and the furnish- ing of the necessary equipment. Meanwhile Dr. Pollard had worked out careful and detailed plans for the establishment of a base hospital, utilizing for that purpose the Doremus Gym- nasium, the Dining Hall, Lees Dormitory, the Field H mse, and Castle Hill Hotel, thus furnishing sufficient accommodation for 320 operative cases A ith nurses and attendants. The Board of Trustees sent tliis desciiption on to the Surgeon-General and placed all the facilities of the LTniversity at the disposal of the Government. The Virginia Military Institute, with a promptness equalled only by its kindness, placed at our disposal the sendees of Major M. F. Edwards as com- mandant with about sixty volunteer cadet officers as assistants. The student body in mass meeting cm April 6, accepted this otter Avith enthusiasm, and within the week ninety -six per cent, of the whole student body were actively drilling every day under this remarkable body of experienced officers. With characteristic energy. Dr. J. W. H. Pollard, head of the department of Physical Training, assisted by Associate Professor Forrest Fletcher, or- ganized an ambulance cori)s, selecting thirty out of some eighty eager ap pli- cants, and beginning their daily training at once. Page Ninety-eight With the opening- of the first Government training canip began the exodus from the campus which has continued to the present in an nnal ated stream. The Physical Training Department was left a mere name. Dr. Pollard, Mr. Fletcher, Coaches Elcock and Donahue, and a large number of athletes and in- structors leaving the quiet of the campus for the intensified training of the camps. Associate Professors Dickev and Smithson, Y. M. C. A. Secretary Brown, and a procession of campus leaders soon left large gaps behind as they exchanged their textbooks for Uncle Sam ' s implements of warfare. Our Ambulance Corps, when called to Allentown, Pa., soon won favorable comment and wide reputation. Many vain offers were made to induce its mem- bers to accept officei-s ' positions in other units. The whole corps is now over there i-eady for the spring drive, and all know that there is no finer bunch of American college men on Euroi ean soil. WTien the present session opened, the Pi-esideut took as the subject of his opening address, Our War-time Duties as an Institution. To a solemn and attentive student body he urged that gravity, simplicity, economy, and loyalty constitute the four-fold keynote of university life in these momentous days. Since then regular military training has been carried on under Major Edwards as commandant, the W. and L. battalion pursuing the basic course of the R. O. T. C. Finally on February 14 came the news from the War De- partment that Washing-ton and Lee had been i-ecognized as an established Re- serve Officers Training Corps, and that First Lieutenant Guy E. Manning, ' UO. U. S. A. retired, had been assigTied to duty here as professor of Military Science and Tactics. Thus military ti ' aining in pi ' eparation of future officers in the United States army has proceeded with new life and assurance of recognition by the Govemuient. The steady enlistment of the older men begun last spring has continued throughout the present session, until now from an attendance of 531 last year and 3S1 lastSeptember, the enrollment at Washington and Lee has diminished to about 33(1. At home and abroad, on land and sea, in every training camp and aviation center, are to be found the representatives of the present stu- dent body and alumni of Washington and Lee University. Of the 3,500 living alumni of Washington and I ee it seems probable from the list already compiled that six or eight himdred are ah eady in the national seiTice. Tbe procession was led by Kifi ' en Rockwell, the first of the world ' s renowTied aviators on the French front, who volunteei ' ed and rose to fame long before the United States entered the war. As far as we know, he was the firet ahminus to seal his patriotic devotion with his blood. Others have already followed him in the supreme sacrifice, and full well the University knows that the thick streT ii stars on her ser ' ice flag will soon be sprinkled with gold. Yet with mingled pride and sorrow she knows also that her sons in life or in death will prove worthy of the traditions and histoiw of their Alma Mater. Page Ninety-nine The Waskington and Lee Ambulance Unit One month after the United States entered the war against Genuany came the call to Washington and Lee to furnish an ambulance unit for sei vice abroad. Eighty enthusiastic volunteers at once telegraphed assurance to the Government that the Generals would do their full share, and on June 5 the members of U. S. Ambulance Unit Section 534 left for Allentown, Pa., to un- dergo intensive training before being sent to France. Thirty-six men wei-e comprised in the Wav hington and Lee unit. There were twenty-seven students, four alumni, and Forrest Fletcher, associate pro- fessor of Physical Education, besides two mechanics from Lexington and two cooks. For sewn months, stationed at Allentown, these Generals were getting ready to do their bit, and at last on January 9, word came that they had sailed. On the 26th of January a bnef cablegram to President Smith announced the safe arrival of the unit in England, and as the CALYX goes to press it is not known how soon the Washington and Lee Ambulance Unit will enter active sre ice in France. Certain it is, however, that wheu the time comes, Wash- ington and Lee may be proud of her closest re] resentatives in the fight against intrenched autocracy. As originally organized, the following was the composition of Ambulance Unit Section 534 : Forrest Fletcher C. C. Moore, ' 13 D. W. Thomburg, H. L. Moore, ' 20 ( H. S.

Page One hundred thirteen I ' aye One hundred fourteen An Appreciation WILLIAM CAULFIELD RAFTERY A Superb Athlete; A Skillfull Coach; A Real Man Tlie purpose of this arti- cle is to characteri e Coach Kaftery as we have known him, as an athlete, and coach, and as far as lies in our I ' ower, to express our appre- ciation of his faithfulness, his unlirinj) loyalty and his cease- less devotion to the Univer- sity and her interests. Bill entered College in the fall of 1!)11, in the last year of the Denny reigii in comijany with Buck Miles. Charley Lile and other famous Blue and White athletes. He immediately announced his intention of trying for football, and appeared on Wilson field as a contender for the position of quarterback not ' ithstanding the presence of the two varsity quarters of the preceeding year, and an All Southern Holder of this position who had just entered college. But before the end of the season Rafterty had secured the coveted place. And at this po- sition he called the signal that sent Kelly Francis across the V. P. I. line with the touchdown that broke the hoodoo the Techs had held on us for eleven long weary years. He also played forward during the winter and when spring came ' he appeared for baseball and after a keen battle captured third base, and not only held this down but hung up a battling average that is still a record. The following season he was again quarter and managed to score twelve points against our ancient rivals, the Techs. The following January, Eaftery began his career as a coach in the role of assistant to Dr. Pollard in basketball and in the Spring when Coach Orth left the team to take up his duties as a major leagaie um- pire, Eaftery succeeded him. And after then on he acted as assistant coach of football . . , and baseball and coach of basketball. Thus serving his apprenticeship under Larry Dowd and Jogger El cock. We wei ' e unable to have him with us during the 191G-17 for he was acting as head coach and supervisor of Paffe One hundred fifteen athletics at Chick Springs Academy in South Carolina. At the close of the 1916 season an air of gloom and despondency pervaded the company for El- cock announced he had coached his last team, but the bi-ight side appeared when the Athletic Council secured Raftery as head coach of Washington and Lee athletics. This was an arduous task and woi ' thy of the metal of a genius and Raftery has accomplished it in a manner that leaves nothing to be desired. lu September he began his career as head coach of football. Here he faced the most difficult task that ever confronted a southern coach ; to be- gin with the schedule was planned for the team of the pre dous year, and was made up, in part, of four of the strongest teams that the White and Blue had ever faced. To carry this out but three members of the 1916 machine ap- peared. The great problem was to find men to fill the other eight positions. The squad from which these men were to be drawn was the smallest, youngest and most inexperienced that ever appeared on Wilson Field. He thu.s had but five men who had i reviously been under fire iu college athletics, aud with these men as a nucleus he built up a team that will long be remembered and will go down in the history of Washing-ton and Lee athletics as the most de- serving holders of the title of ' ' FIGHTING GENERALS. They played the mighty Georgia Tech, were defeated, but not beaten and continued the fight- ing from whistle to whistle. They then returned to Lexington and on the fol- lowing Saturday, by a remarkable display of fight and spirit defeated their ancient rivals, N. C. A. E. They then held the mighty Gilroy and his Georgetown associates to an eight point margin and during the greater part of the game outplayed them. And as a fitting close for a fighting season tliey held W. J. scoreless until the last five minutes of play. And as is well known to every W. L. man the credit for this rem arkable performance goes to Coach Raftery. He not only taught them football, but he also imbued them with his wonderful fighting spirit and imparted to them a courage that looks defeat in the face unafraid and refuses to quit. Therefore, we of Washington and Lee feel that we have an athlete without reproach, a coach par excellence, and a man in every measure of the word, and it is to him, William Caulfield Raftery, courageous coach of the fighting Generals, we ad- dress as a token of our great appreciation.

Eavior Sloan Le Fils Mcntri.niery Henry Corliett Taylor Young « Page One hundred eighteen Page One hundred nineteen r R esume ofS eason On Thanksgiving Da) ' in Richmond closed the record of the Fighting Generals foot- ball aggregation for 1917. Out of the most grueling season with the lightest possible ma- terial was developed a team which fought the best of them all and ended still fighting. Theirs was the honor of being dubbed by the whole athletic world, The Fighting Generals, and well did they deserve that name. To Coaches Raftery and Bryan is given credit for developing out of the poorest m.aterial a team which gave the big teams the scare of their lives and humbled those which were in its own class. To two alumni, John L. Campbell and J. T. McCrum is given the highest appreciation for the hard and in most cases unknown work which they performed. For, though few on the campus were aware of the fact, it was entirely due to them that the foot- ball season was able to be carried out, and the student body is in hearty acord with the Calyx in extending its heartfelt thanks. The first game of the year came when, after the first two games had been cancelled by opponents, Randolph-Macon visited Wilson Field. This game was more of a track meet than anything else, and little was done in the way of polishing off the rough points before the next game. On October 20, the Generals, light in body but strong in spirit, journeyed to Atlanta to play their new rivals, Georgia Tech. They came away still stout in spirit, though the score would show a one sided game. Suffice it to quote from Coach Heisman who said, Although Tech won by a big score, the hard fighting of the Virginians caused as many in- juries as a close encounter. Next came the ancient rivals. North Carolina, A. M. Filled with confidence and feel- ing assured that the scores of previous years would be wiped out, the Aggies came to Wilson Field. They met the fighting Generals and never had a chance. The Blue and White ma- chine rolled up four scores and retired in favor of the scrubs. In the rain near the end of the game the Aggies got away with a pass for a touchdown, but the score ended 28-7. On November 3rd, Richmond College was played and handled easily, taking the long end of a 43-0 score. The week following brought Roanoke College, to whom was administered a defeat by the largest score a team ever made in Lexington. In spite of the fact that Roanoke scored first by a drop kick, the Generals piled up 118 points. November 17th brought on the anticipated Georgetown conflict. Backed by the large number of Wand L men who had accompanied the team to Roanoke, the Generals put up a splendid fight. In the first period, bewildering the Georgetown team with a beautiful aerial attack, the Generals scored two touchdowns, in ten minutes. Georgetown ' s heavy weight told, and together with the injury of two Blue and White players, caused the final loss of the game. The opponents were able to score three touchdowns with a total of twenty points, leav- ing the total twenty to twelve in Georgetown ' s favor. Page One hundred twenty Those who saw the Washington and Jefferson game will not soon forget the wonder- ful fight the Generals put up. In Boulebard Park, on Thanksgiving Day the President met the Fighting Generals, and a fight it was in truth. For fifty-five minutes neither side scored. Repeatedly the Generals held near their own goal line and the line of the President was just as impregnable. It looked like a no-score game until with only six minutes to play, McCreight hurdled his weight into the air on the fourth trial and went over for a touchdown. W. and J. scored again on a blocked kick just before the whistle blew, making a score which would indi- cate a one-sided game — but those who saw, know what a fight it was. Thus closed the record of one of the greatest teams ever representing the Blue and White and one which will ever live in the minds of Washington and Lee supporters. W. AND L. .S. (tEORGETOWX Scrubs Tex Bryan The Gym Page One hundred twenty-one Page One hundred t ' wenty-t ' wo PIEROTTI II BAILEY o C. H. PATTERSON BETHEL Captain A. Pierotti. Center. Age 21. Ht. 5 ft. 11 in., Wt. 190. Pivdt man of the Fighting (ieneials. Al is tlie gieatest center that ever fought for tlie Blue and Miite, and rated one of the best in the United States. A wonderful player both on the uft ' ense and defense, he was all that a captain could be and never knew what it was to give up. Al was a member of all four major sports; he has heard the call and has gone into the service adding one more name to the illustrious list of W. c L. s footltall fighting for the service of Uncle Sam. Bailey. Guard. Age 21. Ht. ft. 1 in. Wt. 186. Edwin. The meanest m-an on Wilson Field, nuff said. It was cer tainly a trea t to see Ed in action; powerful, fast, tackling hard and sure, he proved to be a terror to opposing guards. Ed was a member of the squad last year, but found himself tliis year. Off the field you ' d never know he was in town, but as soon as he jmt on his uni and went to Wilson Field, every one knew that Bailey was in action. Batterson, Craig. Guard, Age 20. Ht. 5 ft. 11 in. Wt. KiO. This was Craig ' s first year as a member of the Varsity Squad, though a Junior in colloge, 150 pounds of more fight characterized this man. Though light, he had a powerful charge, was a dcious tackier, and a bulwark to the center of the line. Above evervthing, Craig was a gentleman on and ott ' the field. Bethel, Turner. Left Tackle. Age 21. ft. : ' . in. Wt. ISO. Aggessiveness was Turner ' s middle name. Whether it was as at End, Guard, or Tackle, he always had the same old fight. He was a tower of strength offensively and defensively, and his ability was recognized by the team when they chose him to lead them for 1018. Page One hundred tiventy-three LARKIN FOX FAIN ATKINS Larkin, Paul. End. Age 20. Ht. 5 ft. 9 in. Wt. 155. Paul is that last of the three Vets of the 1916 team. He demonstnated in his freshman year that as an end he was of the best. He was the best end Wilson Field ever saw on boxing tackles, smashing interference and receiving passes. His ability was shown this year when he did the putting and drop- kicking and was used in the backfield for carrying the ball. Paul never had to be balled out, he always did his best. Fox, Les. End. Age 19. Ht. 6 ft. Wt. 160. This big boy came in a freshman and at once demonstrated that he was out for someone ' s position. Tried in tlie backfield, he finally found himself at end and stayed there. Les certainly took great care of the right wing and was adept at receiving passes, many long gains being due to this boy ' s ability. Faiix, Jimmy. Quarterback. Age 20. Ht. 5 ft. 7 in. Wt. 145. Jimmy has been a member of the squad for two years as a halfback. His natural ability made the Coach put him in as quarter, and Jimmy in a strange position lived up to the reputation of the long string of quarterbacks that have graced Wilson Field. Jimmy ran the team and his ability pulled the Generals out of many a tight hole. Atkins, J. B. Tackle. Age 20. Ht. 5 ft. 10 in. Wt. 161. 156 pound tackle. What J. B. lacked in weight and height he made up in fight. He never said much and was always to be found on the bottom when the teams piled up. A sure tackier, quick to size up a play, J. B. was a bunch of energy. Page One hundred tiventy-four MOSS SILVERSTEIN RAINES BLAIN Moss, Charlie. Halfback. Age 21. Ht. 5 ft. 10 in. Wt. 162. Ohar-lie was the speed merchant of the Generals. He said he was an end, but his speed said otheinsise and when he started on a sweeping end ran it usually meant the officials marking up first dowoi. Not only that but Charlie threw the passes from the backfield and his accuracy was shown together with Jim Pain ' s when in the Georgetown game they threw twenty-five passes, twenty of which were successful. SiLVERSTEiN, BuLLET JoE. Fullback. Age 22. Ht. 5 ft. 8 in. Wt. 167. This human battering ram was a wrecking crew in himself and few lines hfeld Joe from making his distance. And when it came to backing up tlie line, we knew everything was safe. Joe didn ' t know what it meant to be downed ; it was always up and at ' em again. Eaines,, Sam. Halfback. Age 18. Ht. 5 ft. 9 in. Wt. 146. Sam owns a town, Raines, Tenn. We mei ' el - call attention to it. As a halfback we want none better. He hit the line like Buck Sweetland and ran the ends like Moss and Yooing. Sammy never failed to gain his distance, and once he got loose he couldn ' t be headed ; and he knew the science of the stiff arm and side step. Blain, Dan. Halfback and Fullback. Aage 18. Ht. 5 ft. 9 in. Wt. 136. The lightweight of the Generals. 136 pounds of nerve. Hitting the line running the ends or tackling, Dan was an inspiration to anyone. An ' e didn ' t seem to know the use of fear. Need more be .said? Hardly — lie showed what was in him. Page One hundred ttventy-five WATTS SCOVELL GILLIAM WATERS Watts, Dick. End. Age 22. Ht. 5 ft. 10 in. Wt. 154. Dick has been a member of tlie squad for three j ears, but each year has been unfortunate in getting injured. He came across this year and proved a slashing end. In the A. M. game Dick intercepted a forward pass and was speeding on his way for a touchdown when Ted Merideth caught him — at least Dick swears it must have been Merid eth. ScovELL, Swede. Hamp. Tackle. Age 20. Ht. 5 ft. 11 in. Wt. 160. Hamp was another of the men who helped earn the name Fighting Gen- erals for the Blue and White team. Always smiling, Hamp was a fighter from the ground up, and was all that could be asked of a tackle. Gilliam, Tommy. Guard. Age 20. Ht. 5 ft. 10 in. Wt. 177. Tom fought his way to the Varsity and earned everything that was coming to him. Tom never said too much, but then actions speak loxider than words at times. He was always ready when called upon and that was more than once. Waters, Luke. Manager. This man took over the reins at the hardest time of the career of W. L. ' s football. Luke had problems to contend with that would ordinarily dis- courage any manager, but not Luke. He took hold of things with a vim and only the highest words of i raise can be given to him. Every day saw Luke Waters on Wilson Field looking after the interests of the team. He may well rank with the best of W. L. ' s football managers. Page One hundred twenty-six Page One hundred twenty-seven R esume ofS eason Five vistoi ' ies and six defeats tells part of the story of the Genei ' als ' basketball season for 1918. The other part of the story is a series of the hardest reverses a team ever had, met by the old fighting spirit which has always characterized Washington and Lee teams. Ketuniing only one monogram man, the season opened with a large squad, a few of whom were on the squad last year. With Captain Bethel in center, Cottingham and McCain at foi ' n ard, and Atkins and Fain at guard, the Blue and White supporters felt they had a winning team and looked forward with hope to the opening game. Hampden-Sidney was overcome in this encounter wtih ease. Before the next game, however, McCain had sustained a bniise of the foot, Fox had a broken nose, and Bethel was in the hospital with a bad arm which ke] t him out almost the rest of the season. Davidson went away victorious, but it Avas a crippled team that they had beaten. Virginia Christian College and Elon were then played and defeated, the latter by a margin of one point. The team then journeyed to Lynchburg to meet the University of Georgia. This team was one of the best in the south and came AAith a great reputation. The Generals put up a splendid exhibition leading at the last, but having their five point lead wiped out by three field goals in a s many minutes, lost by one point. Atkins, called home, played his last game for the Generals. Crippled as they were, the Blue and A ' hite warriors played out the remainder of the season of five games, losing by narrow margins to all except the Tennes- see aggregation v ho were in much the shape the Generals were. It was a hard fought season, in which reverses calculated to break up any team, caused the losses of games but did not dampen the fighting spirit.

In the fall, as has been the custom for the past four years, Washington and Lee entered the South Atlantic Oross-Country meet, in which are represented the colleges and universities in the South Atlantic Intercol- legiate Athletic Association. The Blue and White was fortunate in return- ing three monogram men and three members of last year ' s sipiad who did good ser iee this year, and together with one new man put out a champion- ship team despite the war. Thus in one department at least were the Gen- erals up to usual standard. The meet was held at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, and resulted in a complete walk away for the wearers of the tri- dent. Washington and Lee was able to bring in four out of the first five places, and beat their nearest competitors by twenty and fifty points. This completed the fourth annual Cross-Country meet out of which tlie Generals had won three chanipionsliips and one second place. THE SQUAD Powell Captain I. B. Watkins . Manager L. T. Brown .

Erwin Eanch Hand T. F. Stone Eanch Hand Paffe One hundred sixty-three An Appreciation Five years ago there entei ed Washington and I ee a youth by the name of Harry K. Young, better known as Oy. For four seasons he was considered the best athlete at the university, and his prowess on the fields of football, baseball, basketball and track ' R ' ill be for years to come a familiar topic on the campus. One year after the advent of this well known atlilete and popular leader there came, with the class of 1918, to the campus of Washington and Lee, one came, although not a student, Washington and Lee claims — one known not mei-ely as the sister of Cy Young, but as Miss Eutha Young. For four yeai ' s Miss Young has lived in Lexington. For as many years she has been a loyal and never failing supporter of all the intei sts of Wash- ington and Lee, the life of its musical organizations to which she has given unlimited time, and a popular and prominent figure at its dances and social functions. No student has proved more loyal to Wasihington and Lee; no student has ever foi ' med in his four years upon the campus a larger, warmer, and more loyal host of friends than has Miss Eutha Young. She has proved invaluable in charitable, religious, and social enterprises at Washington and Lee, and in the town of Lexington in which her services were often needed and never found wanting. As a lovely character, an attractive personality and a true, valuable and loyal friend of the university this appreciation is tendered her, and when she leaves its campus, the sincere respect and never failing interest of her many friends of four years now spread broadcast over land and sea will always follow her.

The Junior Law Class of 1918 entered Washington and Lee on Sep- tember 14, 1917. It was one of those days when the sluggish breezes were sighing plaintive requiems over the dying summer; and as the shade of evening fell like a feather wafted downward from an eagle in its flight, tlie waning moon cast weird shadows over the sleeping world, while glim- mering stars awakened a longing- for the invisible as it did in the souls of ancient shepherds while wandering over the Judean Hills. Some of us were strangers at Washington and Lee, while others were familiar with the University Place, having been known as Preps. It was a noble band of young legalities that assembled in one of the rooms of Tucker Hall on September 15, 1917, to ordain the newly elected Dean. Men were there from Maine ' s dark pines and crags of snow to where magnolia breezes blow, and written indelibly upon the fair visage of each was an unfailing purpose. The scene changed and we found ourselves let- ting our minds float on the breast of a restless sea. The new Dean would have us believe that it was the false ideal that builds The Paradise of Fools. That is was eagerfress to achieve success in realms we cannot reach which breeds more than half the ills that curse the world. That if all the fish -eggs were to hatch and every little fish became a big flsh, the oceans would be pushed from their beds and the rippling rivers would be eternally dammed — with fish, but that the whales and the sharks and sturgeons and dog-fish and eels and snakes and turtles make three meals every day in the year on flsh and flsh- eggs. That if all the legal spawn should hatch out lawyers the earth and the fullness thereof would be mortgaged for fees and mankind would starve to death in the effort to pay off the aforesaid and the same. We received the charge of the enemy with poised lance and visor down. We deluged the tall cliff under a flood of mountain eloquence which poured from our. patriotic lips like molasses from the bung-hole of the Universe. We mounted the old war-horse of Real Property and held Contracts at bay while we captured Introductory Law. In the study of Domestic Relations, we found that no mind equal to the author ' s- could soar in Beauty ' s sliies with freer flight. Who but thee could drop with grace from whirling planets to grimacing monkies? Who but thee could hold us spellbound with discourse on -such a superflcial study as Domestic Re- lations? Only Shakespeare in all the pages of literature; and in this particular art thou di ' lst outdo him, for in the endless scale of thy matchless voice were all the mimic sounds of forest and field and flowing waters, and thou dould?t glorify or distort thy noble face to impersonate whatsoever thovi wouldst. In thee speechless Nature found a voice and thou didst become the tongue of Dumb Beauty. Thy like shall not appear; the centuries sliall sigh in vain for thy duplicate. On tlie morning of October 16, a - dignified senior inquired: What means that jiei-- spiring host of noisy men over yonder in Tucker Hall ? The Junior Lawyers were hold- ing a mass conventions to name class officers. The delegates believed that it was their convention, but a motion made by a sovereign not in the ring was instantly caught upon the jagged prong of a pre-arranged point of order and pitched over the parliamentary fence into the muck pile of oblivion. The fair-haired Chairman painted the air with reeking rhetoric and perfumed it with patriotic platitudes, and the sweltering delegated wrestled desperately with rules of order and there was a fierce and furious eruption of inflamed grammar and rasping ora- tory and pandernonium reigned supreme in the convention. Motions came thick and fast, only to be stabbed and laid upon the table. The deadly point or order, that ruthless instrument of parliamentary torture, gleamed like the shining sword of Damocles and cleaver arguments asunder. Resolutions were born to be murdered and multiplied de- ceased amendments choked and dammed the surrent of the convention like rotten drift- wood in a stagnant stream. Page Tiio hundred thirty-six SCENE: History room, W. L. TIME: Any morning- nearly, 9:04 o ' clock. The members of the class in American history have dropped themselves over the radiator. The weak members are looking expectantly at their watches. Taylor is en- deavoring to find the name of Mrs. Jackson ' s mother-in-law ' s aunt ' s maiden name, having prepared the rest of the lesson. At 9:04% two Freshmen advocate cutting, but older members do not agree with their optimism. A step is heard, and Dr. Rilej ' enters, black bag and all. The class flies sorrowfully in. Riley opens the window, spits, picks up his roll book, marks absences, opens the text, clear his throat, throws his low er jaw down, and begins: Dr. Riley: Well, we have a luscious subject to-day, with plenty of good beaf-steak for solid nourishment. A man is a freak that does not enjoy this course In history — so if you don ' t like it you had better not mention it around college. When I was at the Hopkins, history was always interesting. Now let ' s have a good meal w ith this choice morsel from Bassett. . . .Now, Mr. Whitelaw, I wish you would discuss the lesson in full. Whitelaw: OHij ' , ah-h-h, you see — that is, er-r-r, Jefferson, he — ahh. Dr. Riley: Now, Mr. Whitelaw, get rid of those mannerisms of yours. You make more noise than all the rest of the class put together. Quit your hemming and hawing and get down to business. Vhen I was at the Hopkins I had no trouble in making my recitations fluent. Whitelaw: Well, Jefferson, he.... Dr. Riley: Don ' t say, ' Jefferson, he. ' . Whitelaw: Well. Jefferson did not care for. er-r-r. ahhh-hhh, how do you pronounce that word in the book. Doctor? Dr. Riley: Be ' shamed of yourself, sir! Dont you study German, Mr. W hitelaw? Simple. Class?.... ei is always pronounced i.... Whitelaw: Well, ahh-hh.... Dr. Riley: All right, so far.... come on, I can ' t pull teeth all day. . . .Mr. James?.... Now Mr. James 3 ' ou have a lot of mannerisms, too. Cut out the ' and all ' .... Mr. Witt? Don ' t know! Not prepared? Well, tell us, Mr. Taylor. Taylor: Well, the tenth line on page 519 has at the ninth period, just beyond the semi-colon, a statement that throws significant light upon this obtruse point. At ten- thirty and a third, on the dark and stormy morning of the nineeenth of March, etc. ... Dr. Riley: Very good, sir.... Now, — what ' s that? The bell? Mr. Whitelaw took up the hour hemming and hawing. For next time your library report is due — brouse around until then.

Contrary to the custom of most of his kind, he is fond of being places which humans are wont to frequent, and is easily attracted by music and the shuffling of feet. He walks with a pe- culiar gliding motion, which is quickened when strains of syncopated joy are heard. Come closer — he is about to devour food that is much to his liking and with which he must continually be fed if he is to, remain in a satisfied condition. But hold, little girl! not so close to the cage! It is just jour kind for which he has a magnetic attraction, and once you are within his grasp — frankly — good-night, for he is a bad one. What is that upon his upper lip, you ask? Hush.... You should not ask such questions. Despite his nature, he is rather sensitive concern- ing that particular thing, and maintains a deep hatred toward Keeper Pratt be- cause of the lattcr ' s ability to grow a long silky one. . . . TO HIGHER CHEMISTRY A fool there was and chemistry took, (Even as you and I) All the joys and pleasures of life forsook. In the fumes of the lab sought a quiet nook, And buried his head in a funny book, (Even as you and I) A fool there was and he got a flunk, (Even as you and I) When he studied hard, his grades they sunk. Until the profs knew his work was punk, When he worked at reactions and other junk, (Even as you and I) The fool was kicked from his customeo place, (Even as you and I) He fizzled out in the final race.

Page Tiuo hundred thirty-nine CHARLES (ARAMIS) TAYLOR From the wilds of the land of the mos- quito, o ' er the beaten trail to Lexington, came this stalwart Indian buck. Active in the sports of his race, Red-Skin Taylor was much chagrined to find the large mosquito of his belowed Jersey an unknown animal in these parts, and was thus forced to turn to other fields. In hunting for game on our happy campus grounds, he suddenly espied two local braves, Chief-Rain-in-the-Face McMurray and Shark-Man Cox of our Fi Bat Acapa Tribe, and was directed by them to a huntable specie, a bird little known to most of us, and by the initiated, called A-|- ' s. Our young aborigine found these so much to his liking that he has since given them his undivided attention. The poor little things haven ' t a chance. He has affiliated with the local Indians, and may oft be seen around Main Wigwam with such excellent hunting munition as Howe ' s Inorganic Chemistry and other sure hits when well di- rected at aforesaid birds. His proficiency has given him the title of Chief, and a peculiar custom of his Jersey tribe, that of wearing a wavy beard upon the lower part of the chip was bestowed upon him the full title of Chief Bearded Lady. FRESH -FRE5H-ri t5 HN RN! THE BULL The bull is an animal which can be neither seen nor felt, but that is always heard. It inhabits all classes, at Washington and Lee. affecting both professors and stu- dents, but thrives best in courses generally regarded as liberal arts. As a rule the atmosphere of science classes its in death, although th ere are a few remarkable ex- ceptions. It is of no particular use, but always asso- ciates with the men having tlie lowest marks. As a rule it is harmless, but sometimes becomes irritating; on the other hand it frequently adds to the gayety of the nations. It is violently opposed to diplomas and thrives on Kappa Beta Phi keys.

And other things too. The boat seats are narrow, you know; Got the dearest of curls, waist just so round, — Well, what are you laughing at so? The oars hurt her hands, so we just let them trail, And we drifted — and drifted — I told her How I ' d love to drift on for ever with her, Her head rested here on my shoulder. A smothered half sigh, a soft little squeeze. As her head just smuggled down deeper, And I, too, would so love it, she said, But — who would pay the boat-keeper? You know that old highwayman boat-keeper, Bob, And I, too, the saddest of men — I guess I ' m not cut for the calico streak, Say, Bob, just lend me a ten. G. T.

She is literally, certainly metamorphically, put on the shelf through the entrance of this building genius to the field of matrimonial advisers, et affaires de coeur, whatever that means. His vast experience along the line of this subject has well qualified him to dedicate his book to poor suffering com- muters who want to gain the love of their fair one, but know not how. Dr. Witt, in his treatment of the subject, has, in his usual searching, industrious and plodding fashion, has brilliantly proved his worth as an author and has forever freed man-kind from the worry and trouble of em- barrassing moments and maddening conjec- tures. We cannot, therefore, but give this worthy author his due. We have noticed many other favorable reviews in various pa- pers, as In his recent work, Hoiv to Make Love, Prof. John Augustus Witt has rendered a distinct service to the human race.... The study will be a permanent reference work.... — Neiv York Times. No more dashing hit of psychological philosophical study of the sexual emotions and the working of the human heart has been penned.

Page Taoo hundred forty-one Inspect the above likeness of Professor James AYilliam Kern as taken at the polite request of the CALYX staff. See the Ciceronian expression of the mouth. Gaze upon the Homeric profile, the Yirg-ilian nose, the Platonian smile. No finer expression of classic countenance was ever chiseled bv a Phidias or a Praxiteles. The representative of the White Studio was de- lighted at the opportunity presented by Pro- fessor Kern. The reputation of the U ' hite Studio is established. Permission has been granted by the professor to use this picture for trade purposes. We expect to obtain at least a dozen college contracts by displaying this por- trait.... for we dare yoii to point out a single defect. Turn back to page 37 and see the picture a- gain. How it adds to the representative char- acter of the page: Makes the annual so com- plete, vou see. Indeed tlie professor in so kindly consenting to having his picture made, rendered the studio, the CALYX, and the university a dis- tinct service. THE SHARK The shark is a peculiar specie in the animal kingdom. It is characterized by its ravenous craving for such sea-food as Virgil, Bassett. Abry-Audic-Crouzet. Hov. ' e. and like nourish- ment. In its appetite it is not discriminating — all food looking alike to it. It may generally be found floating upon the electric currents in the Physics lab. or in tlie air waves above the heads of the specie liiinian. The creature has a strange affinity for gold keys shaped as a rectangle. Somehow or other the metal, tlie glitter, or the smell appeals to the shark. It has been known to sacrifice all other interests in order to satisfy this odd craving. Some of tliese eccentric ani- mals border on the human — some to such an ex- tent that some scientists liave actually thought that the two species might be related. Sucli radical ideas and theories, however, have never been seriously considered by conservative scholars.

I wish to make a statement and thereby be able to get informa- tion sufficient to inform me of the originator of a Lie, a dirty, infamous Lie and the originator of it a Liar of the deepest die, one who is too dirty to be noticed by the most common cur dog, that ever lived in this or any other community. One of the P ' acuhy of the W. L. University has made a statement that I have frequently, for some years past, sold whisky to the students and cadets and that one who knew me well, could any time get whisky from me. I wish to brand that man the dirtiest, low down, infamous Liar that ever drew the breath of life, and if he has the courage of a hound pup he will make that statement to me and prove his statement.

Did you ever before behold such liquid pools of tenderness, love and affection? Nay, nor has anyone else. To break it gently — this Is our Turner — without wliom we could never get tlie fair sex to Lex- ington and from whom we must protect them upon their arrival. Notice the calm and imperturbed manner in which he pursues his favorite occupation. One glance in tliose eyes, one squeeze from tliose strong manly hands, and tlie ladies are forever his slaves. Witli unfurrowed brow he seizes their lielpless hearts, and wrings them dry of the life-blood, tlien cruely breaks them in twain. Many of his satellites have sought to emulate him, but have been unable to secure his methods, as he always operates in dark places, in plant-ridden sun parlors, or under the dark shadows of the lilacs. Only the moans of the tortured slaves to his charms can be heard, as our Turner twists and crushes their palpitating hearts.

This animal is by nature bold and ever forward, and must be treated in a like manner. He may be found in dwellings wherein are found men of fraternal tendencies and for whom they manifest the greatest affection. The goat is always hungry and thrives upon wood when shaped in a convenient manner. He has likewise a taste for belt and razor straps. His habits vary greatly with the seasons, the month of January being characterized by a meekness and docility rarely found in other animals. Usually, however, the goat is of exuberant spirits and delights in frolicking with the bull. Most of these curious creatures become transfornaed in time to rational beings. In some localities, however, the tendency is for the animal to continue as such indefinitely. OUR ENEitALS Exctycmiw!!

Theda Bara or even the ancient Cleopatra are innocent and shy, besides the vamping power of this creature ' s eyes. Why that movement of the hips, you ask? Oh, the Siren calls to her feet her many swains that she may cast a spell over them with the lure of those eyes. Nor are the accomplish- ments just named the only ones this creature possesses. She is a musician besides, a mu- sician of the first order, for every night does she serenade a group of lovelorn youths. Could you but count the homes this vampire has wrecked, the fam ilies she has broken up, you could not but sigh for the war to end in order that the government might be enabled to spare some troops to send here to take charge of this menace to young manhood.

Page Tiro hundred forty-nine LUKE WATERS Gentlemen, we present the local Hoover, Chief Justice White, Walter Camp, the General Pershing. Verily our friend Luke is a man of affairs, and as versatile an individual as there is around this neck of the woods. Some three years ago he drifted in from a little village up in the State of Mar yland, Frederick we think, and since then has set about the task of making himself famous. He has succeeded. After a year ' s tussel with the problems of History 5, J. B. tackled the law school, — with better luck. He hasn ' t received an appointment to the Supreme Court as yet— but of course that could hardly be expected — the President naturally is willing to let him finish his course first. Besides he is doing the government so much good here with- out being on the bench. As High Priest of the Beanery and Chief Bean-SIinger, Luke is co- operating with the food administration in a splendid fashion. Look at Slim Williams and Stretch Pratt, two of his boarders, and you will agree. As a side issue, Boulden managed the football team last fall.

Page Two hundred fifty-one fLO UKNOr XO M (uU Hc fT AS IN YE DAYS OP OLDE Behold in durrance vile, in the town stocks at Buena Vista, three members of the Executive Committee of Washington and Lee. Little did their classmates think while electing the above to represent them upon that august bod.v that they would ever bring such dis- grace both upon themselves and upon the grand old university they represent. It seems, so runs the woeful story, that these young statesmen had journeyed forth one fair Sunday after- noon in the late autumn to traverse the surrounding country and incidentally to see all that was to be seen in the neighborhood metropolis. The surround- ing countrj ' was traversed, all right, and a lot of the things to be seen in Beuna were seen. In the quest of the rest of the obtainable views, our young friends explored the paths in tlie vicinity of the seminary, whei ' e rumor says that many are the sights.. A bevy of fair young things was gathered in a window not so far away from the vehicle transporting the little Lee and AVashington boys, but that the charms and graces of these young men might be seen and proportionately admired. Ditto the other way. Now it seemed to Messrs. Kern, Stipes, and McChord that the opportunity was good for communicating their admiration by such means as a moving ' kerchief or bj ' even a gentle whistle or cautious greeting But alasl Squire Perkins, the local police force, was on the job. Visions of a fat fine — new sidewalk for Broadway (the Beuna Broadway) — as well as his realization of duty urged him to the performance of the task the sad result of which we can reproduce by the above snap taken the following morning. KtL. 6PEGIAL Page Two hundred fifty-tivo LINES WRITTEN ON THE BACK OF A TERM REPORT Represented naught on this terrane shore, But the flunks of a flunker who ' s flunked before, The Professor ' s decree to try once more; Tenderly lay it aside. It tells of the problems he never tried, Of the honest sweat that stayed in his hide. And of the knowledge that ' s still inside. And modestly undisclosed. Keep it in trust for his progeny ' s sake, The tale of the tickets he didn ' t make. That they, in despair, may courage take From their sire ' s serenity. That the pains which burdened the troubled breast Of one who flunked, may be set at rest By the thought of him not once the best. Who trod the path below. G. T. H.

THE STUDE A Stude there was that sat all night (Ever as you and I) At a table stacked with little chips bright, (And we called him a fool, near started a fight,) But the Stude thought he knew the game all right, (Ever as you and I). Oh the I. O. U. ' s they took, and the check they took, By the work of a dextrous hand. Belong to the Stude who did not know, (And now we know that he never did know) And never can understand. The simple Stude opened and won the first pot, (Ever as you and I) Red ones, and blue ones, — his zeal waxed hot; (They knew then they had him sewed up in a knot) This Stude won another, then took a long shot, (Ever as you and I). Held an Ace high flush — drew — and — he filled. And the excellent trips he planned; Went to the man who stood quite pat, (He held four K. ' s, that ' s why he stood pat) And the stude didn ' t understand. Oh, the burnt moth feeling, the close sheared feeling, That strings like a red hot brand, It ' s to write to Dad — more money for books; (And Dad scans the items with dubious looks) Good Lord! Will le understand? Page Tivo hundred fifty-four LEE AND V ASM 6-TQ V UNIVEHSITY . SmoK£n s Att£ V7- 0 ! ' k ' 3oy the onxAm Us e thb Libmi y !
