W 1 L f aul Mt ' M fmuk NOT the least important part of an educational institution is the proper administration of its finances. Its success or failure is, among other things, dependent upon the efficiency with which its financial and business affairs are handled. At Washington and Lee University the Treasurer is at once collector, paymaster, purchasing agent, and a dozen other functionaries all combined into one. And with the increase in the size of the school, his duties show no signs of becoming less multitudinous. Apparently there are few subjects on which he is not called on to pass judgment or to give advice. The demands thus made upon this official are many and varied and require such qualifications as are possessed by few. Indeed, in these times, when filthy lucre has been the means of corrupting many, the need is doubly felt for men whose motto is something else than, The smell of money is good, from whatsoever source it comes . Or, as Juvenal puts it, Lucri bonus est odor ex re Qualibet . In the spring of 1913, Mr. John Lyle Campbell, who had been the efficient Treasurer of the Univer- sity for thirty-six years, passed to his reward. The Board of Trustees were thus confronted with the task of selecting his successor. Realizing the difficulty of filling the position thus left vacant and not wishing to experiment with unknown quantities, the Board elected one of its own number, Mr. Paul McXeel Penick, who was then associated with Mr. Frank T. Glasgow, another member of the Board, in the practice of law in Lexington. At the earnest solicitation of the I ' niversity officials, Mr. Penick consented to accept the responsibilities of the Treasurer ' s office. In the firm conviction that he was increasing liis sphere of service, he gave up the major portion of his law practice, and since that time he has devoted his energies to the furthering of the interests of the University, its officials, its faculty, and its students. Although not a Virginian by birth, Mr. Penick has spent most of his life in Lexington and its vicinity. He was born at Flint Hill, his father ' s home, near Concord, N. C, in October, 1867. Six years later, the family removed to Rockbridge County, Virginia, when his father. Dr. D. A. Penick became pastor of New Monmouth Presbyterian Church. Dr. Penick remained at New Monmouth for some forty-one years, at the end of which time he was made pastor emeritus. The future Treasurer until he was twelve years of age attended Highland Belle School, located near his home. Following this he spent one year at the then well-known school taught by the Rev. Mr. Harris in Floyd County, Virginia. Yet with these limited opportunities, Mr. Penick was enabled to accomplish a feat which has been equalled by but fen- in the history of Washington and Lee University. Before he had reached his fourteenth birthday he was a regularly matriculated student in this institution. After his graduation Mr. Penick was for some years principal of a large co-educational school at Round Rock, Texas. Subsequently he engaged in clerical work at El Paso, but in 1890 the call of Vir- ginia became too strong for him and he located in Richmond, where he was identified with prominent business interests. It was during his residence in Richmond that he was married to Miss Frances Edmondson Monroe on January 3, 1895. Soon after his marriage, the Bank of Rockbridge, then the only bank in Lexington, was almost reduced to bankruptcy when its cashier absconded with a large sum of money. At the urgent call of Judge Edmondson. to whom had fallen the difficult task of putting the bank ' s affairs again on a firm basis, Mr. Penick returned to Lexington as his assistant. In addition to this work, he enrolled as a student in the Washington and Lee Law School. Continuing his brilliant record of previous years, he, in spite of his outside activities, graduated in one year ' s time, the honor student of his class and the winner of the one hundred dollar law prize for that year. He immediately began the practice of law in Lexington, where he has since resided, becoming Treasurer of the University some eight years ago. For many years Mr. Penick has been a loyal and enterprising citizen of the community, always taking an acti ' e part in its affairs. He was largely instrumental in the enlarging of the nearby hydro- electric plant, and after putting it on a firm financial basis, sold it to its present owners, the Virginia- Western Power Company. He has been for some years past the President of the Rockbridge National Bank, a member of the Y. M. C. A. Ad nsory Board of the University, and since his retirement in 1913 from active membership on the Board of Trustees he has been its efficient secretary. From his earliest boyhood Mr. Penick has been a faithful and loyal member of New Monmouth Presbyterian Church. He has long been one of its elders and its Sunday School owes much of its present prosperity to his careful and painstaking interest in it as its superintendent. In his personal life can be found an example of geniality, piety, humor, conscientious devotion to duty, uncompromising attitude toward all that is questionable, and loyalty to life ' s ideals, which is indeed enviable. It is in recognition of his sterling worth as a man that the Calyx for 19 1 is dedicated to him. itai - Administration Shsscs Activities Athbtic5 ' Varsiti Vamps Fratarnitics Feature Doolc r ' liy.-n irr,-- : t- , y ,x ' •wpw■ ?f•  ' ' ' l •■- WriwsiwyswwwiiwWW ■ y- -: MPWn-WSWBBWW- L : i  j It J. 1 1.1.

IXSPIRATIOXAL ASSETS W.iSHiNGTON . ND Lee ' s Inspir. tion.4L Assets are a unique and unpurchasable inheritance. No institution in America can compare with it in the influence of its great names and ennobling associations. George Washington selected it to use his wealth and bear his name. The immortal Lee, having no money to give, gave himself to the institution. Through five years of magnetic and inspiring leadership, he rebuilt and developed his great kinsman ' s college, and set for- ever its ideals of tolerance, courtesy, honor, and patriotism; then, worn out with his incessant labors, he bequeathed to it his sacred dust and his incomparable name. Young men whose characters take shape amid such influences must, from the very air they breathe, grow toward the stature of greatness and learn the nobility of service. NATIONALISM Washington and Lees N. tionalism, therefore, is no surprise. Altho located in the very focus of Southern history and tradition, its campus has become a meeting ground for North, South, East and West, where a universal campus friendliness knows no difference between Democrats and Republicans, Protestants and Catholics, Southerners and Northerners. Of 626 students enrolled in 1919- ' 20, 421 or more than two-thirds, were from outside of Virginia. Three-fourths of the L niversity s endowment and equipment are of National rather than Southern origin; while the extraordinary prominence of its alumni in national affairs bears witness to the national spirit engendered within its halls. PATRIOTISM AND RELIGION Througlii ul il long liistory Washington and Lee ' s campus has been a center of ardent Patriotism and Ev. NGELi( AL Religion. In 1776, two months before the immortal Declaration of July 4th, its Trustees changed its name from . ugusta . cademy to Liberty Hall. Its sons exemplified the spirit of their . lma Mater on the battlefields of the Revolution. Again in 1861 they left the campus in a body as the Liberty Hall olunteers, and shed their blood on a score of battlefields during the dark days of the Civil War. Lately, amid t he horrors of France and Flanders, its thousand representatives in military service and its famous Ambulance Corps have proved worthy of the best traditions of Washington and Lee. A steady stream of ministers and missionaries has borne testimony to the religious atmosphere of the institution, and one of its most zealous alumni associations is maintained in China. INDEPENDENCE AND PROGRESSIVENESS In Independence ami Progressiveness Washington and Lee is unique among Southern institutions. It stands almost alone in its cntin indiinndencc of both church and state. Deepl.v and evangeli- cally Christian in its founders and p (■ id(■Ill . its local environment, and its spirit and traditions, it is governed by a self-perpetuating Board anrl is under no denominational control. Although located in the heart of Virginia and it.self a shrine of Southern tradition, it is entirely independent of Virginia politics or legislative control. Washington and Lee was the first institution in . merica to recognize Journalism as a profession and establish regular courses in this department. The first endowed School of Commerce in the South was established at Washingtcm and Lee with its own faculty, building, library, and reading room. It is also one of the very few Southern institutions which for many years has allowed a student to sub- stitute modern languages and take an A.B. degree without either Greek or Latin. In the freedom of its elective system, its universal compulsory physical training, and its fifteen-unit requirement for entrance, it also follows national rather than Southern customs and standards. 26 CAOfX- Q n SIruatppH William Alexander Anderson, 1885 .

This freedom may help explain its unusual progressiveness. Since the general shake-up of the Great War the papers are all telling how Princeton. Yale, A ' anderbilt. the Universit.v of Virginia, and other institutions are beginning to break awa.v from the medieval t.vranny of the classics and are daring to give the A.B. degree without Greek, and some of them without even Latin. That modern languages may take the place of both Latin and Greek has been the routine practice at Washington and Lee since 1891. From anj ' monograph on the subject one can learn that the first college courses in Journalism ever taught in .America were formally established by the W. and L. Board of Trustees in 1869 during the presidency of General Lee. Likewise the first regularl.v organized School of Commerce in the South, with its own facult.v, building, endowment, and library, was founded at Washington and Lee in 1905 and has been in successful operation ever since. In abandoning the old ' Southern 14-iinit entrance requirement, with its conditioned entrance- gate for 3-year high-school students. Washington and Lee also led all the institutions of its section. . mid the absurd and ever-shifting red tape of required and ' elective high-school courses, by which the eastern classical colleges are still striving to dominate the curriculum of the expanding American Public High School, the Washington and Lee faculty have again blazed the way by adopting the follow- ing: Full 16-unit graduates of standard four-.vear high schools, so rated b.v their own State Depart- ments of Education, w411 not be denied admittance to Washington and Lee because of the nature and contents of their four-year curriculum. It is confidentl.v predicted that within ten years every universit.v in the South will have broken its old-time fetters and taken its place on this simple 40th century platform. 29 THE success attained in professional and public- life Ijv alumni of the Law School affords the best assurance as to the character of its work, of its ideals, and of its student body. The fact that a small law school should have furnished to the country so many prominent men has often been commented upon. About a year ago the WTiter noted in a single issue of a prominent journal the names of three Washington and Lee men seriously mentioned as possible candidates for the Presidency, two of them alumni of the Law School. One of these was the favorite candidate of a great national daily, and the point most stressed by that journal was his profound knowledge of the law. The success of the School has been due to a combination of causes. One is the fact that the school is of moderate size. The number of students is sufficiently large to afford inspiration and fellowship, but not large enougli to submerge the indi dual. The composition and character of the student body is another factor. To a degree probably not equalled by any other school of its size, it is a national school. The students come from many states, and each student is thus brought into contact with men from different parts of the country, and provincialism is escaped. One meets at Washington and Lee, men from far and near whom he is glad to know in after life. Further, with few distractions, the condi- tions are favorable for study. This is a place for work. Last may be mentioned the spirit of freedom and true democracy that pervades this campus. There are few regulations and no red tape. Rigid formality is unknown. Each professor is left free to teach in his own way. selecting his own books and methods. The members of the faculty are always ready to meet the students as ad sors and friends, and the relations of the students with each other are friendly and intimate. It is its methods and spirit, rather than its material equipment, that constitute the strength of the Law School of Washington and Lee. 30 rlinnl of (Unmmrrrr m h AlmttntBtrattnn WASHINGTON ami Lee was the first sDiitliein university to establish a regularly organized Sehool of Commerce. This is in harmony with the progressive policy of the University, which attempts to fit students to meet the problems of modern life. The School of Commerce and Administration was authorized by the Trustees in 1905. and was organized in 1906. It was established on, and is in part supported by, a foundation raised as a memorial to William L. Yilson. - large proportion of college graduates now enter business as a career: many others enter public or social service in administrative work. Yet until recently the American college, following traditional classical standards, gave only a general cultural education, and offered little service to the business man. The young man destined for business secured his training in the business office. Yet today business, in its magnitude and complexity, demands a breadth of vision and a grasp of principles which cannot be acquired solely through office or departmental routine. The modern school of commerce gives a broad training in economic principles and a knowledge of commercial methods and industrial organi- zation and management that will fit men to rise to positions of industrial leadership. The School of Commerce and Administration of Washington and Lee Lniversity is organized as one of the regular schools of the University. It has a well-trained faculty, a well-equipped building, its own library of several thousand volumes, and receives the most important periodicals and public docu- ments in the fields of economics, commerce and government. The degree of Bachelor of .Science in Commerce is offered for the completion of a regular four-year course of study. This course combines a general college education with a considerable degree of speciali- zation in business and administrative subjects. The first and second years include the general college courses in English, mathematics, science, history and foreign language, together with the intro- ductory courses in economics, government, and accoimting. In the junior and senior years the courses are specialized in the field of work which the student expects to enter after graduation. Tho.se who expect to be business managers or executives may concentrate their work on business administration, corpora- tion finance, banking, labor, and allied subjects. Those who wish to be public accountants may con- centrate on accounting, finance, law, and allied subjects. Those who intend to engage in social work, or public administrative service, or foreign trade may concentrate their work in preparation for any of these fields of ser -ice. Thus the courses may be selected according to the needs of the students, in business administration or accounting or public or social service. 31 ®l)p rlinol of Appltr nrnre WHEN, after the ( ivil War, (ieneral Robert E. Lee became president of Washington College, he had as one of his expressed aims the fitting of the yoimg men of the South to develop the re- sources of their own lantl. With the meager means and facilities of the college at that time, only a beginning could be made during his lifetime, but that beginning was made by the election of Colonel Villiam Allan to the chair of Applied Mathematics. Later. General G. W. Custis Lee, who had succccdccl liis father as president of what had become Washington and Lee University, also filled this professorship. Eor some years the degr ee of C.E. was given to the graduates in Engineering, but later the degree of H.S. with special attainments in Civil Engineering was adopted, in accordance with the practice of the best schools of engineering. B.S. with special attainments in Chemistry was afterward added. General Custis Lee was succeeded by Professor David C. Humphreys, and the graduates of the school of Applied Science will alwa.vs look back with ])lcasnre on the memory of ' Old Davy , as he was affectionatel.v called, and feel that such success as they have attained in life was due to the painstaking start he gave them. The ideals laid down by General Robert E. Lee for the School of Applied Science hold even more to- day, when the development of the natural resources of the South is proceeding with most rapid strides. This is the aim of the School today — to fit the young men of the country for the development of her resources. Rather than tr,v to train in many lines, for which adequate equipment in men and laboratories was lacking, it has always been the policy of the School to do a few things, for which it was equipped, well. The men who have gone out with its stamp have shown themselves the peers of any in their field. The effort is now being made to rai,sc the means to broaden the scope of the School, and thus attain more fully the aims of its first president. With the bac king of the Confederate Veterans, the United Daiightcrsof the Confederacy, and other organizati ms, who liavc already named Washington and Lee as the most typical Southern institution, the Robert E. Lee . ' school of Engineering, well equipped and endowed, is a ilream near to being fulfilled. Surely there could be no more fit ting memorial of the great man and leader than the carrying out of the plans he himself laid down for the training of the young men of his land.

Tucker entered Washington and Lee in 1871, receiving his M. A. in 1875, at that time the highest academic degree awarded, and B.L. in 1876. He afterwards practiced hiw in Stanton until 1888 when he was elected to the fifty-first congress as the democratic representative from the tenth district. He remained eight consecutive years in Congress where he became distinguished as a forceful speaker and an unswerving adherent to principle. The true principles of democracy have always been foremost in his mind. In the fifty-third congress he was author of the bill that repealed the notorious Force Bill , sent as a scourge upon the democrats of the South; he was also author of the Tucker Bill which proposed a constitutional amendment to elect I ' nited States Senators by a direct vote of the peojjle. This amendment passed the Hou.se of Representatives twice but did not become a part of the Constitution until a few years ago. Mr. Tucker was called to the Chair of Law at Washington and Lee in 1897 where he remained luitil 1!)(),S. He became Dean of the Law School and after the death of Hon. William L. Wilson was for a while acting president of the university. He is author of a number of books involving constitutional law questions and has a national reputation as one of the ablest authorities on constitutional law. He was chosen President of the American Bar Association, a distinction enjoyed only by the most eminent members of the American Bar. Mr. Tucker is heartily supported by Washington and I e students in his governatorial campaign. 40 T. X. Parsons President D. P. McKiNXON ........ ] ' ice-President F. C. Parks ........

His fame as candi- date for the House of Delegates had preceded him here, . fter the election of 1919, obeying the call of conscience since time immemorial, John decide l to study law — naturally, at Tucker Hall. He represented the University in debate with Johns Hopkins, was elccled niemljcr of the Debating Council, Delta Sif;ni;i Ului and other forensic societies. He attended Miclii{, ' an Univer- sity Summer School and incidentally the notifi- cation ceremonies on the Front Porch. Re- turning to the Bloody Mirth, he was elected Temporary Chairman of the Republican Con- vention. In his keynote speech he assured the delegates such enthusiasm for their hero, C.

Politics is John ' s religion, Will lliiycs his ])rophet, and beside him there is no otliiT except Bascom. If character, sincerity and loyalty count in the race, we will hear from him higher up. John Fr. nklin B. in Capron, ' i ginia 4 ' A Two years ago. the stones of Tucker Hall be- gan a mighty trembling at the approach of the master-mind of our hero, J. F. Bain. Blades of grass turned brown before the warmth of his intellect, and within two months of his arrival, even the leaves had fallen in reverence from the trees. But don t think too highly of him; he is a hardened lady-killer. Many are the girls who are either weeping in anguish or dancing with some other fellow because he coldly spurned their advances. He will receive his degree in June and we wish him overwhelming success in his chosen profession, only we don ' t know what it is. Out- side of being president or an ouija board prophet (he hasn ' t decided which), his only ambition is for beards to become ' . ' la mode, so that he can eliminate the necessity of his morning shave. 42 Sherman Hart Ballard Peterstown, West Virginia £ N; ; S. C. After prepping at Woodstock, Virginia, and spending three years at the I ' niversity of West Virginia, and after making history with the famous Marne Division throughout the war as a 1st Lieutenant, Sherman cast his lot with the study of law and, of course, came to Washington and Lee. Since then, his time has been absorbed ■ chiefly with wrestling with the old problem how to get a degree in two years and retain the mind and self respect. He has at last successfully solved this problem, making an enviable scholas- tic record, but at the same time he has been a familiar sight on the campus, at McCrum ' s. and at Buena Vista. Sherman has been an all-around college man, an exponent of Terpsichore, a leader among his closer friends, a coming Willie Hoppe, and show- ing at the same time no mean ability at solving legal problems. He has been in all college activities, and although he has been too busy in the Law House to demonstrate his athletic prowess, the college will lose a valuable man when he returns to his native State to interpret the law to his fellow citizens, after he graduates from an active practice. Herbert Barnes Gargatha, Virginia 2 E; S. C. And they call him Esau. Living up to his name, Barnes is all wool and a yard wide. The friendship of the writer with the subject of this sketch, formed at Randolph-Macon, has deep- ened and broadened during our . ;oj(iurn in Lexington the past two years. Po.ssessing the happy faculty of making friends, Barnes has endeared himself to all who know him, and most everyone at W. L. knows him. He is nitty, sympathetic, brilliant, a true, indefatigable, and conscientious w ' orker. Possessed of these rich qualities, a genuine success in his chosen pro- fession awaits him — success in his personal undertakings and a contented heart filled with- that supreme reward derived from service to one ' s fellomnen. Judging from his punctuality at the post office, displayed at the coming of every mail, Barnes ' Domestic Relations should be a con- tinual chain of bliss.

Beverely Hunter Bark(jw, Jr. DeWitt, Virginia r A; Executive Committeeman Vaisity Football ' 20- ' il; Monogran Club; Varsity Track Here is a student, athlete, and politician. In September, 1919, Hunter hied him hither from the fields of Dinwiddle to gratify his insatiable desire for knowledge. And from the beginning, his opinions on legal matters were sought after by his classmates. Though fond of the law he was not so enveloped in it that he could find no time for other acti -ities, for he fought on the gridiron «nth the same zealous spirit exhibited in the classroom. Incidentally, he holds the University record in weight. His achievements are too multifarious to recount; for one thing, he is the Boise Penrose of the campu.s, and no enterprise could succeed without his appro%al. His magnetic personality draws the best wishes of everyone on the campus, from the insignifi- cant freshman to the dignified professor. Hunter, you are a man of integrity and per- severance, a friend loval and true. John Bell Murfreesboro, Tennessee A product of the Old Volunteer State, Bell came to us in 1919. Since then he has been wasting his time in the perusal of such trash as is commonly known as Longs Domestic Re- lations, Blackwood and a few of the others that we don ' t know the names of just now. Doing an ordinary three-year course in two y ears. Bell shows a kind of ability not exactly identical with that of shooting crap and playing pool. But far be it from us to give you the idea that he is a grind. He is absolutely not and he lacks all those disagreeable qualities that we generally associate with a grind.

C. There is nothing of more importance to the world than the coming in or the going out of a great man ' s life. It is therefore with a deep sense of honor and reverence for the subject of this sketch that we look back upon that day not so very long ago when Jimmy Blanks made his appearance upon this terrestrial ball. As time glided by, the flower of youth blos- somed into manhood, and the Stalwart Son of the Old Dominion State was spending his time in prep school and awaiting with much expectation and anticipation the time that he could take upon him.self the responsibility of studying law at Washington and Lee. He entered Tucker Hall in September, 1919; in June he will experience a full realization of his boyhood vision by holding his LL.B. degree. Duncan Cooper Burcii Memphis, Tennessee A 9; C.

In the midst of the fun, the war came on and Dune did his part with the others. In 1919, Duncan realized that he was getting along and decided to study law. One Sunday afternoon just two years ago, this dancing demon opened the back door of the Washington and Lee Law Building and intro- duced himself to Mr. Josephus Long who was then engaged in an exciting poker game «ith Mr. Moreland.

On his arrival he gave promise of great things. He was at once elected President of the Junior Law Class. However, it was not long before Curly ' s real nature asserted itself. Now by his friends he is considered a rare bird of the unknown species, a paradox. His chief characteristic is temperament. He is romantic, ijoctic, capricious, fastidious, precise and practical. He believes in good, clean pro- fanity; and each morning after attending ser- vile classes, never regrets to hasten down to McCrum ' s to .spend the days end. His handsome features placed him on the Varsity Nine, and now the town takes judicial notice of his ability on the second sack. After all, Curly is a real likable chap and his most intimate friends say he takes himself seriously. He is at times a profound legal thinker, and his flashes of wit mark him as a prmnising man in his chosen profession.

Res ipsa loquitur Burt, or The War Horse of Debate (as he is familiarly called by Dr. Smith), came to W. L. in the fall of lilU. Since that time his steadiness of purpose and unfailing attention to duty and his inherent worth have combined to make of his college career a complete success. In four years he achieved both the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts. Then he discarded the academic gown for the navy pea-coat. The armistice signed he came back to the campus, but this time as a member of the faculty, he being made an Instructor of Political Science. Not being content with the signal honors he had won, he entered new fields, to wit, the Law School. A student again, the students con- ferred on him the honor which he so richly deserved — President of the Student Body. The University will confer upon him this year the degree of Bachelor of Laws, being the only re- maining honor she has to give him. 46 Philo Coco Marksville, Louisiana 2 AK Judging from his name, one would think that this young solon came from Atlanta, Georgia, the home of Coca Cola. In fact he is half of a Coca Cola, but his friends say that he has never been drunk. It is safe to say that if Philo ever gets married, it will be a El ' XA-lateral con- tract. As a debater, Philo stands in the front rank of the ' spell-binders of the Graham- Washington Literary Society. The historic walls of that old building have often resounded with the eloquence of his appeals. This eloquence and his knowledge of the law. coupled with his magnetic personality, will hj ' pnotize the jury, so that they can see no other side of the question but his. It will take no wild flight of fancy to picture this young orator pleading the cause of some unfortunate Creole before the Louisiana Bar, with an eloquence that would do credit to Cicero or Demosthenes. Marcus Aurelius Cogbill Chesterfield Courthouse, Virginia K A. Football Monogram ' 19 and ' iO; Xleiubpr Athletic Council ' J0- ' «1 Little did the historical Chesterfield Court House realize that on February , 1896, one came inio their midst who was again to give Chester- field a place parallel only to the Colonial days. Mac Cogbillchosea different method of accom- plishing this, however, and his adaptability to the pigskin has enabled him to make a history that will long be remembered byhis college mates. Let us not drift too fast, though, but divert to a little history of this lad. At eighteen he began his college career at Randolpll- L con College, where in his third year, it was interrupt- ed by the call to arms. His ability is not con- fined to football, however, as one year after his enlistment he was commissioned to be a 1st Lieutenant. Discharged from the army, he decided to study law at W. 1.., and here he reached his greatest success. To cuioti ' from Coach Raftery, he was the brain s of the General ' s eleven, and no quarterback has served with more distinction on any (ienoral ' s team than he. Mac, quiet in nature, a friend to all. and a diligent worker, expects to pursue his legal career, and very promising is the success the future holds for him. 47 WiLLLAJM Henry Connelly Alberta, Virginia 2 E; 2 T; A Henry said, For the love of pie-crust, don ' t mention any women in my sketch. The last time I was written up, my history contained a lot of junk about some janes, and as a result my real girl embarrassed me by demanding an ex- planation. Let your conscience be your guide. We promised faithfully that we wouldn ' t say a word about his frequent visits to the dentist ' s or his excursions on South Main Street or his let- ters from Roanoke and all points East and West. And we won ' t go back on our promise; it wouldn ' t be fair to Henry. Furthermore, it might reveal in him certain traits and characteristics hitherto unknown by any except his most intimate ac- quaintances, which will never do. After trying out V. P. I., William and Mary, and Randolph-Macon, at which latter institution he secured his . .B. degree, Henry decided to complete his legal education at W. L. He is one of the sharks of the class, a deep thinker with a calculating brain that weighs every problem before reaching an ultimate conclusion. Hia conclusions, it might be added, are nearly always correct. Paul Conoway Crumpler Magnolia, Arkansas Paul comes to us from the City of Magnolia, as we are modestly told, the flower of that grand old State of Arkansas. . fter his pre- liminary preparation at Magnolia High School, which b the way possesses a yell fully as artistic as its name, Paul started in search of legal knowl- edge. He came to W. L. to take his law degree and with his aim ever before him, he has spent a large part of his time cloistered in the law building. . s we have heard rather frequently, still waters run deep, and so n-ith Paul. Although not given to superfluous conversation, those who know him, find in him a staunch friend, a hard worker, and a character and personality which give strong promise of success in his chosen field. We are told that having finished his course he will return to his native State to hang out his shingle. 48 D. Boone Dawson Charleston, West Virginia Society; lember of Debating To try to enumerate the good qualities of this rising young ju rist, would be only to elaborate on his proved abilities. Boone, with the lingering smile of his grand old State still fresh on his face, came to W. L. to give his capabilities the acid test. His ready answers to Boss MoreIand s staggering problems have baffled many of his unwary class- mates. As an orator he has won even the ad- miration of those who oppose him in debates. Mien he once decides to uphold his con -ictions, his fluent and persuasive eloquence commands attention, and none dare contest his arguments unless they are prepared for the worst. - s legal timber, Boone will be as sturdy as an oak, and we predict an eventful and fruitful practice for him. His magnetic influence in the participation of the last Presidential campaign resulted in accomphshing remarkable achieve- ments. Judging from his occasional intimations, one cannot help but prosphesy that his first case will be an appeal to a minister — no, not for the ceremony only, for the better half too. Any- wav we bet that Boone wins his case. Fred Turpin De.wer Lexington, Virginia •fr X A; Graham-WashingtoQ Literary Society Daddy Deaver began his course at Yash- ington and Lee back in the ages after having completed a preliminary course at the Lexington High School. But after a year of hard work he decided to take a rest before going on his second lap toward his degree. In the meantime he con- tracted a most natural partnership, but on further consideration, he was forced to conclude that a deeper study of Domestic Relations would be necessary if he were to uphold his side in the family court. Thus it was that we had him back with us in the Law School in September, 1919. After another year of diligent study, he was able to pass the State Bar and has now received his license and is a full-fledged lawyer. . fter getting his degree in June we predict for Fred a wonderful success in his chosen pro- fession. 49 ! CALYX m ' m mm William Braxton Dew Wytheville, Virginia r A; K B ; ♦ A V. F.; C. C. Notwithstanding the air of judicial dignity which at times overspreads the countenance of this budding attorney, he ranks as one of the youthful members of the Class of 21, ha ' ing begun his mundane existence in the City of Lynchburg some twenty-two years ago. He received his preparatory education at McGuires School in Richmond, and entered the Academic School of Washington and Lee in the fall of 1915. He soon became one of the best known and most popular freshmen on the campus, but failing to find sufficient intellectual stimulus in academic work he withdrew from college for a year, and on his return entered the portals of Tucker Hall where he immediately proceeded to make good. But those times were too stirring for one of Braxton ' s character to remain quietly at college. He enlisted in the Tank Corps, and after seeing considerable service in this country and in France he received his discharge in time to re- enter the Law School in the fall of 1919. Since then he has stood consistently near the head of every class. Joe Witcher Dingess Huntington, West Virginia X; C. C; n A N; A He wanted the Law and he ' s got it. A degree in June he will take Back to the hills where he started His fame and his fortune to make. On the roster of the S. . T. C. at W. L. was found the name of this lad from the hills of West Mrginia who was destined to become the greatest soldier of the modern world. But Fate intervened and the armistice was signed. But even Fate could not conquer the indomitable spirit of this Httle fighter. He resolved that he would yet fight for the Cause of Humanity in their Battles of Peace before the Courts of Justice. So he answered the call of Tucker Hall, and has won his first fight and will take his LL.B, in June. Heavy is noted for his sobriety in politics, his optimism during examinations, his White Hot Concentration in Study, and his suc- cessions in love. Best luck, Joe, we expect you to put West Virginia on the map, to make Huntington ' s metropohs, and to find that Gold Mine. 50 James William Dupree Tampa, Florida AS: A ; () AK; PresidentTroubadours ' 0- ' ' 21;S. C. Bill hails from Tampa. Florida, and after wandering among many institutions of learning, settled at Washington and Lee. While here he has demonstrated his ability in the class room, where his work has been of an exceptionally high quality, and he has kept this high standard while completing the Law Course in two years. But Bill is not a grind — far from it! He has always found time to identify himself with campus activities of the best sort, and has given a great deal of his time and energy to help push the things that really count. This is especially true of the Troubadours, being president of that organization during the past year, while he was foremost in the little group that, almost alone, developed and fostered it. . lways ready to aid a good cause or a fellow student, he has made many friends, and we anticipate that it will always be a pleasure to meet Bill in the vears to come. Theodore King Fountain Raleigh, North ( arolina K A; n A N; Troubadours We have been looking for the King to crown them with, but we ha e just now come across him. He is certainly here now though. If you don ' t believe it just take a look at his name. Why even his name ' s King. In September, 1919, Fountain was a most enthusiastic young man when he entered the Washington and Lee Law School and bought a lot of books that he would never use. From that auspicious day. King has spent most of his time studying, bulling, eating and sleeping; bulling, eating, sleeping and studj-ing; eating, sleeping, stud, -ing and bulling; sleeping, studjTng bulling and eating. Fountain is bound to make good, for he knows law and knows where to find what he doesn ' t know-. His ability to make friends that stick, will alwavs be an asset. 51 Robert Lee Garrett Shreveport, Louisiana A T fi; n A N At the beginning of the eventful fall of 1918 when school life and campus activity were re- strained by the arm of Uncle Sam and his S. A. T. C, Count made his first appearance on the campus as a freshman. Having followed the fickle goddess of academic knowledge, he, after his fashion, turned to the more stable goddess of law. In this he has been able to give vent to his profundity of speech and ideas. One finds, however, by looking at his grades that he is generally right in the basic principles of his reasonings. By securing his degree in two years, he has proved that he is as f;ist in securing scholastic knowledge as he is on the dance floor. Robert first made his appearance on this planet in May, 1901, in the City of Shreveport. One might go so far as to compare him to a youthful prodigy, for he is the youngest member of his graduating class. We will miss his smiling face when he goes to practice law in the south where the dark-skinned maidens bathe their feet in the tepid waters of the Gulf. Howard Kemper Gibbons Roanoke, Virginia K S; A ; S; n A N; Glee Club Gib first made his appearance at W. L. some seven or eight years ago as a star per- former on the cinder path for Roanoke High School in the Interscholastic Meets. When he went back to The Magic City he carried with him, besides his medals, a conviction that W. L. was the place for him. So after serving in France as Lieutenant in the Intelligence Serv- ice, he entered the Law School in January, 1919, and will be proclaimed a full-fledged Bachelor of Laws in June, 1921. His presence in Tucker Hall each morning is a signal that classes are ready to start and he turns out the lights every night on leaving. The fact that he is a constant worshipper at the shrine of John Rundolph Tucker does not mean that he is unknown to the ladies or to McCrum ' s and otlier places where good fellows get to- gether. He was Historian of the Junior Class in 1919, and is an active member of the Glee Club, having taken an active interest in the organi- zation of the Troubadours last year. He will practice law somewhere below the Mason and Dixon Line. 52 CAEJVXiMfll Cakl Evehett Leonauu CiiLL Washington, D. C. Calyx ' SI: Troubadours, Secretary Trouljadours •19- ' 40; B r AVe suppose that Carl got his experience at the center of our national political campaigns. That is the only way we can explain it. But regardless of experience, etc., Gill has demon- strated that he is one of the shrewdest and most calculating politicians on the campus. But un- like a good many so-called politicians, he has not yet met defeat. Last year he was elected manager of this year ' s C. lyx. . nd let us say right here that Gill has been a real manager. His work has been of the highest quality and his management has been a complete success. So that this will dispel any idea you may have got that he is only a politician. In the Troubadour organization and in its origination also, Carl has been prominent. . nd who doesn ' t remember that Troubadour show- back in 19 0 as the place wl.ere Little Blue Gill appeared. In other roles. Gill has likewise made a success. He is recognized as one of the bright lights of Tucker Hall and it is very doubtful if there is another man in college who has more friends than this loyal friend of friends. Whether he goes on the stage or decides to practice law, the best wishes of the entire student boily go with him in his venture. Walteii Moss Gray Farmville, Virginia K 2; a A The fair {■ ' ) town of Farmville has been honored on many occasions, but listen! On the 28th day of January, 1896, there came to that city a personage who has gained distinction and has honored the above-mentioned town since that day. Gray, as he is known on the campus, began his educational career in the Farm -ille High School, graduating from there with honors in the spring of 1915. Answering the call to arms from Lncle Sam, he enlisted and was sent, in the fall of 1916, to patrol the Mexican border, returning from there in the spring of 1917 only to re-enlist and be sent to France with the aviation corps, there ser ' ing his country for thirteen months. Gray decided to become one of us and ma- triculated in the School of Law in the fall of 1919, where he has distinguished himself as a good all-round man, and also as a student, get- ting his LL.B. in two years. 53 Roy Jefferson Ghimley Ridgewood, New Jersey Graham-Washington Literary Society Eezewald. ' our champion bull-slingpr and hobo, got to town in time for the S. A. T. C and the other vicissitudes of fortune into which the old University found its way about three years ago. Having previously determined that a student ' s life should be one of ease, in order to express his determination in action, there wa.s nothing left for him to do except look up Dean Long and become registered as a prolog of Tucker Hall. .Since then Eeze has worked hard, and unless Atropos decides to cut the cord at the last moment he will run away with the old Law degree in June. During his stay on the campus, Grimley has made numerous friends, and when he departs, it is unnecessary to say that he will leave a big place to be filled by someone. Do you hear the names of any candidates. ' Guy Leland Hartley BufFalo, West Virginia 2: A K: Graham-Washington Literary Society On September Hi, 1919, Guy, fresh from the wilds of West irginia, drifted into Lexington to see how much he could embarrass the law faculty by asking questions they could not answer. Although Guy has studied hard during the course, he has never let his studies interfere with his duties to the fairer sex, and, although examinations came three times a year, his trips to Covington could not be hindered. We wish you, Guy, as much success in law as you have enjoyed with the ladies, and with such success we are sure you will not stop with any- thing short of the .Supreme Court Bench. 54 Harry Forrest Henson, .Ik., 15. A. Crewe, Virginia A X P; r T: A A: Instructor in English; Assistant Manager Calyx; Member Debating Council After enjoying college life for four years at North Carolina and incidentally persuading the powers there to confer a B.A. degree upon him, Little Harry came to Washington and Le e to explore his chosen field. . nd it soon became evident to the frequenters of Tucker Hall that he had chosen wisely, for he is nothing short of a wizard when it comes to raveling the intri- cacies of the law. He is already a practicing attorney, having passed the ' irginia Bar after having been at Washington and Lee only nine months. And the professors are wondering still how one small head carries all he knows. But the law by no means occupies all his time. ' henever Terpsichore visits W. L., Harry does her homage. And the call of Crewe or Petersburg or Richmond lures him away from the beaten path with alarming frequency. Congeniality, friendship, and optimism are his pleasing qualities. Owen Wilson Hisle Richmond, Kentucky Owen, better known as Pete, made his debut at W. L. by entering the Academic School in 1916, after taking his preparatory work at Greenbrier. But his college career was cut short by the Great War, Pete answering the call for volunteers for the famous W. L. Am- bulance LTnit. He was exactly I ' ncle Sam ' s man except in respect to altitude, here lacking a few inches. However, Pete ' s patriotism was as sincere as was his desire to reach fair Paris, and he made up for his height by pluck and deter- mination in taking recourse to the Doremus Gymnasium, where by hanging by his toes while some of his enthusiastic classmates hung on his neck, he was stretched to the required dimension and passed the examination 100 ' - Pete showed his fitness by seventeen months service overseas, on five fronts, and won the French Croix de Guerre. His acti%-ities have not been confined to Tucker Hall, however, and he has been an efficient mem- ber of the Athletic Council and a bulwark of strength to the baseball team, while acquiring prominence on the campus as well. 55 Benjamin Franklin Howard Welch, West Virginia ngton Lite Society; Executii And still they come from that old mountain State of West S ' irginia, but so long as they are men such as Howard we don ' t feel that any ob- jection should be made. Coming to Washington and Lee less than two years ago, Howard has made good — in capital letters. In the classroom his work has been of the very highest quality, and when he leaves, the professors will miss one whom they could always call upon when a real question of law was to be decided. On the cam- pus also he has taken a prominent place in all student activities. In the Literary Society in particular he has done far more than his share and has aided very considerably in the main- taining of a good society while he has been on the campus. During his short stay, Howard has also made numerous friends. On every occasion he has shown himself a loyal and true supporter of the White and Blue. From all present indications, Howard will make a great lawyer and those of us who watch the annals of West Va. will doubt- less see great things done there by this young barrister. Edgar Jackson Franklin, Virginia K 2; A : r T; Instructor in English ' 30; Member Debate Council ' iO- ' ili Mink Staff; Ring-turn Phi Staff; Secretary-Treasurer Junior Law iO; Secretary-Treasurer Democratic Club ' iO Barefoot boys together, from the primary grades through the academic school at college and the enchanting and alluring Tucker Hall at W. L., the writer knows whereof he writes concerning Jackson. It takes more than a mere acquaintance to know him. Deep beneath his genial smile and affable manner are hidden those qualities of manhood that are admired by every- one. Character is the keystone of his many rtues. Possessing a keen intellect, coupled with that ripeness acquired by years of deep study, Jackson has the best cultural education of anyone in the class. That is an excellent foundation upon which to build that future career of success and service which we predict for him. Who mentioned the ladies. ' And when Jack falls, oh, boy! — he comes to attention on both knees, — pleading. He is writing a book en- titled Dan Cupid on the Banks of the Dan. 56 Robert Blakeley James Clifton Forge, Virginia A T A; n A N; ♦ A A; C. C; Sophomore Assistant Basket- ball; Chief Marshal Graham-Lee Literary Society; Y Promotion Force From the little mountain town of Clifton Forge there came to the Mutreplis of Lexing- ton the smiling face and handsome countenance of Robert Blakeley James. It was in the fall of 1916 that he entered our halls of learning and signed up as a candidate for a B.A. degree. But other things interfered, including the S. A. T. C, and he stayed out of school for a year. But the sun rose one bright September day in 1919 and found him back on the campus, but with his place of abode transferred to Tucker Hall. Since that time he has been studiously pursuing the elusive Law degree. But at last he has got it firmly clinched and will make away with it next June when no one is looking. The best wishes of his many friends go with him on his journey. Carleton Ellsworth Jewett Richmond, Virginia Graham-Lee Society; S. C. Ladies and Gentlemen, allow us to present our friend from the grand and hospitable capital of the Old Dominion. While in our midst Jewett has lived up to all the traditions of old ' irginia hospitality and congeniality. Vhen he first came to . L. he possessed only one name, but like all truly great men, he acquired another cognomen, Dobie, and now Dobie and Jewett are sjTionyms. It is said that most lawyers are prone to put off their work, but prospective clients. Here is a man who performs his duties faithfully and un- tiringly. Dobie ' s old pipe seems to generate energy, and whenever he fires her up there is always steam enough behind it to propel him through whatever journey he sees fit to begin. e predict success for Jewett and feel con- fident that he will reflect credit on his . lma Mater. 57 WiLLARD Clinton- Kidd Petersburg, ' i ginia Philip Kohen Buchanan, Virginia Mike sauntered into the University one day from that ancient metropoHs of Petersburg. He meant business and that year saw him a scholar in Tucker Hall. However, he soon re- formed and gave himself up entirely to the sterner realities of life, such as calicing, going to Sweet Briar, and spinning yarns for all who would listen. Mike spent most of his time during the war with the A. E. F. His best friends have heard a good deal about the many excellent traits of the French people from him and he is partic- ularly fond of expatiating upon the virtues of a certain little Madamoiselle, somewhere in France. He is a student, .soldier, and gentleman and can always be depended upon to make one of a pleasant company. He is loved by all who have come within the range of his radiant vision. After Philip had shown his powers in the Buchanan High School, he began to cast about for new fields to conquer, and naturally hit upon Washington and Lee as the most desirable one. He entered with the famous Class of 21, and immediately took a high standing in his classes as a result of constant and careful appli- cation. Winning a place on the debating team sent by the Freshman Class to match wit and argument with a like team of Emory and Henry, Philip saw that his bent of mind was argumen- tative, and so migrated to Tucker Hall to com- plete his education. HaWng applied himself to the study of law with all the zeal and painstaking care of a scholar and having voluminously devoured the legal lore of Blackstone, Mansfield, and other well-known luminaries, Phil passed the State Bar examination after only one year of study. His class and many friends on the campus are sure of his future success, and send him forth into his chosen profession with their best wishes. 58 Alfred Benjamin Levin Joplin, Missouri Z B T; Assistanl Cheer Leader ' IS- ' IO.

His good nature and generosity are effervescent and one cannot help liking him on first acquaintance. This genial young man has been here for lo, these many years, and has browsed about in both the academic and law schools. But there is stern stuff in Al ' s make-up, as his persist- ence, loyalty, and courage testify, and when he leaves the old school with his well-deserved LL.B., he will carry with him the cordial best wishes and the sincere friendship of faculty, undergraduates, and townspeople alike. Guy Melvin Long jMemphis, Tennessee S X; 2: n A N; A ; IS ; KB Guy hails from the Old Volunteer State , — the sixteenth daughter of the Goddess of Liberty. He signs himself as from that section known sometimes as Memphis and says that he was born some time after the Civil War. Of course, that is just what he says and you will have to remember that we warn you to give only that amount of credence to his report that you think is becoming to a man of such high character and all-round good fellowship as is Guy. After three years of hanging around the cam- pus, Guy has decided to be done with it this year and will drag his old sheepskin back to the hills of Tennessee with him when he goes even if he has to pull all the wool off, leaving nothing but the hide. We don ' t know that a sheep ' s hide would be better than a sheepskin, anyhow. So here ' s luck to you. Guy, when you go back and begin your start. 59 AbRAM J. LUBLINER Pocahontas, Virginia Z B T; Troubadours; Literary Society; Albert Sidney Boat Club; Baseball Squad; Junior Law Basketball Team; Treasurer Literary Society; Historian Senior Law; Basket- ball Squad; Tennis Club Like many other law students, the writer included, Lub had his academic work at Emory and Henry. There he held an enviable reputation as an orator and debater, on every occasion doing honor to the name and fame of old Calliopean. However, when Lub (Jack) entered V. L. he put all his popularity and laurels behind him, and so to speak, pulled himself up by his own boot straps to a place of respect and prominence among all of us whether we be student or teacher. His keen insight into human nature, his legal trend of mind, and his adaptability to every occasion seemed to be the most highly developed characteristic of his whole make-up. But to complete his obituary, we must not fail to note as one of his chief ac- complishments his knack of making friends and admirers out of those by whom we would all love to be admired. In fact, as an all-round man, Lub can ' t be beat, and his many friends expect great things of him in the future. AViLLiAM Francis McCann New Castle, Pennsylvania In September, 1918, McCann ventured below the Mason and Dixon Line in search of that elusive thing called knowledge. His good judg- ment is illustrated by the fact that he chose W. L. as the best place to attain his object, and since January, 1919. he has been one of the legal lights of Tucker Hall. We are sure that his Alma Mater will, in future years, point to his name with pride, for he has in him a combination of those qualities that are generally considered as necessary to a success- ful leader. As for our hero himself, an accurate de- scription may be given in these few words: He is a good fellow and a true friend. Our best wishes go with him in his future career, the success of which we are already assured. 60 Lindsay Lee Moore Ringgold, Virginia K2; OaK; A ♦: S; ' IS ; C.

He has captained the foot- ball team, been President of the Athletic Asso- ciation, and President of the Monogram Club. Besides holding these distinctions, he is also a member of most all the honorary clubs and societies at the University, and is well liked by all who know him. To those who do not know we are letting you in on the big secret — Lindsay is an Inter- national Lover, — can you beat it. In Belgium, France, England, and even Germany, he has a stronghold, and interpreters are in demand when the boats come in. During the war he left school temporarily with the Washington and Lee Ambulance I nit, later being commissioned 1st Lieutenant and sent overseas in the service of Uncle Sam. Lindsay ' s re-election as Captain of the 19 1 Generals comes as good news to everyone and we hope that it will bring him back to Lexington once more. ViNCENzo Messina Brooklyn, New York Vincenzo came to us in the fall of 1919, after having served a year in the medical corps of the A. E. F. After studying law for a while at Baune University, A incenzo decided to complete his study of that noble profession at Washington and Lee. Consequently, September. 1919. found him an embryo Solon in Tucker Hall, a member of the immortal Class of il. Vincenzo has political aspirations, and if he is as successful in making friends in the Empire State as he has been on the campus, it will take no sage to predict that some day he will don the senatorial toga. The Class of ' ' 21 is proud to have Vincenzo among its members. His sterling character has engraved his name upon our memory in letters that time can never erase. We predict a bril- liant future for him in politics and at the New York Bar. 61 Stiaht Moore, B.A. Lexington, Virginia K 2; O A K; A ; S; IS ; C. C; V.

He first came to Washington and Lee back in .well we have forgotten the exact year, but we remember that he got some kind of a degree in 1915. In the meantime let it be said to his praise or censure that he copped up about all the honors that were to be had. But as one of the few whom the faculty and students just won ' t let go, Trock found his way back to the campus as an Intermediate lawyer in the fall of 1919. Since then he has resumed his former positions of leadership and has taken an active interest in all college acti -i- ties. It was due in large measure to Stuart ' s leadership that the Troubadour organization was perfected and we owe much to him for its success during the past year. Being one of the more mature men of the student body, his counsel during the past two years has been exceedingly valuable and it is with a deep sense of sorrow and regret that we see him leave in June. Ja.mes Edward Moyler, Jr. Franklin, Virginia K S; 2 T; A The writer ha ing known Moyler all his life, he feels unable to do him justice in the brief space allotted to him for his history. big man re- quires more than a few words of condemnation or praise, and Moyler is a big man. His stature is not measured by his accomplishments or lack thereof, but by what he is. Thats the acid test of any man ' s greatness. To know him as he is, to appreciate his real worth, to understand his strength of character are things not acquired by a merely casual acquaintance. The more we study Moyler the more we admire him and the more we are impressed with his sterling qualities and his ability to draw friends to him. His suc- cess in the material things men strive for, must be commensurate with the size of his personality and the bigness of his heart. For what is suc- cess but the exaltation of one ' s soul by means of enthusiasm and zeal. We know Moyler will go ahead; he will find that there is plenty of room at the top. Mojier relaxes by reading Mother Goose rhymes and juvenile stories. His favorite among the latter is Alice in Wonderland. Ask Dad — he knows. 62 Benjamin Haynie Neblett Lunenburg, Virginia According to a contemporary, Haynie blew into Lexington in the fall of 1919 and has been blowing ever since. To the latter part of which we all agree. He is as windy as the saxophone artist in our celebrated Shell-Shock Jazz Orches- tra, dilating upon anj- and every subject that comes to mind. His words astound us — elee- mos nary, ethnologically. periphery, chiaroscuro, ratiocination, and the like are among the simpler words of his vocabulary. To the average person they are full of sound and fury, signifying nothing, and we fancy he himself doesn ' t understand a third of them. He has the notion, it seems, that for one to be a successful lawj ' er, one must keep the jury awake by shooting big words at their heads. If his theory is correct, Ha™ie is due to be a howling success. (Which strikes us as being a rather clever pun.) In spite of his line of gab, Ha, Tiie is a likable chap. For instance, he bribed us with a nice red winesap to give him a good write-up. But our conscience wouldn ' t permit it, as much as we like winesaps. This is the only chance we have had to get even with him. Our conscience, how- ever, didn ' t prevent us from enjojnng the apple. William Edwin Neblett Lunenburg, Virginia Hello, there, General, what ' s the news from the A. E. F.. That ' s Ed ' s countersign when he advances to meet us. For Ed was with the 80th Divi- sion in France and played a man ' s part towards ending the melee. He likes to talk about his army days, how he won the Red Cross at the battle of Cognac, his diverting experiences with frolicsome cooties, the wistful-eyed maiden in the battered illage who said she would wait for him to come back to her, and so on. It might be observed, en passant, that the nistful-eyed maiden is still waiting wistfully for the return of her hero. This is no reflection upon Ed ' s ability as a raconteur. We let him say his speech through to the end, because it pays to be a good listener. During his sojourn in our midst. Ed has attended to his business with a seriousness and earnestness that bespeak success in his chosen career. He has let nothing swerve liim from the attainment of his goal, but has kept to the mark all the way through. William Old Centralia, Virginia KS; A We want a friend like Bill Old. If we said nothing else wc would have delivered an oration. In our entire career we have not met a more loyal and devoted comrade than is this sunny lad from Centralia. He sort of grows on a fellow. His companionship with Henry Connelly during the past two years has inspired us more than all the sermons ever preached could have done. Yes, Bill is the kind of friend we mean to hang on to — a purely selfish motive, to be sure, be- cause we feel the need of more men like him. Bill has a fondness for Farmville. We think this must be due to the fact that before he came to Lexington he stopped for a while at Hampden- Sidney. He has not forgotten that he is an ex- Tiger, too. But S. X. S. also has its attractions. Oh, Boy! you ought to see her — all tears and sighs an l raving moonshine. Lucky Bill! We don ' t blame him for running down there Thanks- giving and Christmas and Washington ' s Birth- day and all the other holidays. No, sir! He ' d be crazv if be didn ' t. Fred Cliftox Parks Chilhowie, Virginia ' resident Literary Society: Secretar; Hailing from the mountains of the mighty southwest, this young man with the senatorial countenance came to us with a great repu- tation made at Emory and Henry as a debater and orator. Incidentally his coming depopulated the precinct of friendship. Fred came to us fresh from the fields of France where he had just completed eighteen months of honorable service with the forces of Uncle Sam. having volunteered soon after the out- break of the war. While with us he has made a host of lasting friends by his continued good nature and un- tiring efforts to assist every one in every way. Besides being one of Boss ' s standbys, Fred has won many honors on the campus, among them being President of the Harding-Coolidge- Slemp Club. He was also selected to uphold his party in the joint political discussion and was a big gun in the party that took the swing through the Valley during the campaign. If hard work, honesty of purpose and upright- ness of character count for anything, Fred ' s classmates can see nothing ahead of him except a future filled with brilliant successes. 64 Thomas X. Parsons Independence, Virginia F.; Histo To the Class of ' 21 this sketch must seem mere surplusage. Everybody knows X, and all that know him like him. He has that indefinable personality which we naturally love and admire. He was a leader from the start and an authority as well. On a question of law he seemed unable to give an incorrect answer. X survived V. M. I. with honors as one of its youngest graduates and we absolutely believe he is the best man that Institution ever turned out. When the war came, he volunteered and was given the rank of captain, being stationed at vaiious camps as Instructor in Military Science and as Judge Advocate. Since the war. Tucker Hall has been his domicile, and there he has made his mark. X pas.scd the State Bar last June, and out of regard for his unusual abiUty, he was elected President of the Class of ' 21. X was the little Corsican ' in campus poUtics; notwithstanding, he is well characterized by Judge Campbell ' s remark: Mr. P-a-w-s- o-n-s always has a smile and a good word. If he doesn ' t make a great lawyer, nothing but an act of God can save the rest of us. Our greatest, yet with least pretense. ' Earle Proctor Rosf; Herald, Virginia Red was also caught by that impulse which overtakes every ambitious man, causing him to realize the necessity of an efficient University training, and upon a moment ' s reflection he naturally yielded to the influence of Lefty ' s Bulletin and immediately enrolled in the School of Law, September, 1919. Red is a diligent worker, and the class has more than once marveled at the accuracy with which he states his case. He says that his suc- cess in law is due to identically the same thing as his success with the fairer sex, to wit, She is all done with a system. It is not only known that Red will soon be classed among the brilliant lawyers of the country, but it is strongly anticipated that the western part of the Old Dominion will soon be encircled by the influence of a new leader. 65 WALTf:K Vercil Ross Bluefield, West Virginia r A; V. F.; A A; S. C. And still another West ' irginian has passed through Washington and Lee, trailing eU)uds of glory as he went. We who have known Ross at old W. L. U. feel assured of his future and the fame of West Virginia and of Bluefield in partic- ular. Quiet and unassuming, he is one of the most popular men in the class. Ross is what we should be pleased to call an all-round college man — an exponent of the Terpsichorean pleasures, sometimes indulges in a little game of ' bil-yards, possesses a pro- nounced ability to solve the problems of Ian, and is a friend of the highest and noblest type. When he leaves, a big vacancy will be left on the campus, but we have the consolation of knowing that what we lose someone else will gain. Richard Paul Sanford Stuart. Virginia : ♦ E; Varsity Football ' 19 Gentle readers, behold the only member of our class from the great Free State of Patrick, where he enjoys her sunshine by day if not her moonshine by night. After three years spent at Richmond College, Paul came to us in the fall of 1919, and when the clarion voice of Coach Raftery was heard on Wilson Field calling for all who have grit mingled with your protoplasm, Sandy ' was among the first to obey the summons. He proved as gallant as Fitz-James or Roderic Dhu, and will go down in the history of Generaldom as one of her greatest stars. His achievements are not confined to athletics, for while acquaint- ing himself with an intricate knowledge of law, he has won the hand of one of Lexington ' s most attractive daughters. Sandy, with your logical argument and persuasive eloquence, it will take no flight of fancy to imagine the jury returning a verdict of • ' Not Guiltv. 66 James Levesque Shaver Wvnne, Arkansas Clarence Marvin Shelton Hubbard, Texas Realizing the keen necessity of a regular I ni versify training, and upon weighing the ad- vantages afforded by numerous other schools throughout the country. Livesaw fortunately yielded to the allurements of Washington and Lee, and enrolled in the School of Law in Sep- tember. 1919. He evidently prepares his daily work with white hot concentration. He can brief a case with amazing rapidity, and quote Mr. Black- stone with profound accurac.v, yea. verbatim! While Livesaw has been diligent ah initio to the end, he has always found ample time to de- vote to the fairer sex. He promises tu be a brilliant light in his chosen profession, partic- ularly in the administration of justice, and it is generally conceded by the members of his class that his journey upon the legal path of . raerican jurisprudence will not end until he has adorned the Supreme Court Bench of the United States. If you were to say Clarence Marvin Shelton, there might be just a few who would not know to whom you were referring, but just mention Tex Shelton, and well wager that there isn ' t a man in this University who would not rec- ognize the one referred to. That ' s what a reputation will do for a person, and Tex sure has a great rep. He is generally recognized as the greatest piano player that has been at Washington and Lee. But don ' t think that Tex is only a musician. He is that and a whole lot besides. Three years ago he left school to join the other men fighting for their country. He served with distinction as ensign in the naval aviation division of the forces, but with the end of the war and after recei ing his honorable discharge. Tex decided to complete his education and came to Lexing- ton, matriculating in the Washington and Lee Law School. While here he has taken an active part in all student actiNTties and has made a host of friends on the campus. It is with a sense of the deepest regret that they will see him leave in June.

In recognition of his e q)loits with the pigskin, sport writers throughout the South chose him All-South Atlantic Fullback both last year and this. In track.

L. The Law School claimed him. His record as a student has been phenomenal: very few there are who do not remember his ninety-nine in Sales, not to mention his high general average. His acti -ities have not been confined to the study of law alone. Music was the leader of the Jazz Kings and the All-Southern Seven. His figure is a landmark at McCrum ' s, and when there is a party he is always present. He has been a constant source of delight to all of the girls at the dances, not only with his fiddle and light feet, but also with , guess. He is a very generous hearted boy, for who hasn ' t heard him give the entire town Back to the Indians . ' Altogether, he is the kind of fellow that one likes to meet, to be with, and is sure to remember. W.

Dan first became conspicuous as a staunch Republican supporter, and during the recent campaign he electrified audiences both in school and in the vWlds of Kentucky with his superb orator,)-. Let us not forget that it was none other than Dan w ho stated that seventy per cent of the Democrats voted against the measure and forty per cent for it. Taylor is numbered as one of the sharks of his class and stands near the head of the list. He has made excellent grades in all subjects and has never answered unprepared. He is held in high esteem by his classmates as a legal authority upon all questions. We predict for Dan a most prosperous future before the Bar. John William Tisoale Clarksville. Virginia Business Manager o! Mink ' iO- ' il Behold this Sunday School teacher and poli- tician. He came with the spray of the briny deep upon him. We are told that he met with some difficult.v in obtaining his discharge but the Red Fox could not be baffled. Reiving on the biblical assurance that the prayers of the righteous availeth much, he besought his chap- lain to aid in this undertaking and aroused his latent sympathies by apparent anxiety to spread the gospel among men. The discharged list was rearranged and the name of John W. was at the In politics he is no amateur, . lthough in school less than a year he was elected Business Manager of the Mink. As the people ' s candidate he conducted a campaign that would smother the face of Will Hayes. The Manager was elected by such a majority that Pat Collins ex- claimed, By Gosh, the Red Fox got them all. Since that time he has borne that cognomen.

IJill is a southern gentleman of the old school, and with his broad principles he promises to be a statesman of the Calhoun type. His calibre as an orator ranks with that of Daniel il)ster, and this he proved last fall in a joint |)olitical discussion where he not only swayed the audience to the views of Jimmie Cox, but held the most staunch Republicans breathless. It is not only predicted by the members of his class but it is conceded by the entire student body that no man has a more promising future as a statesman than Bill Tuck. ToRRENtE WOLFORD Washington, D. C. £ A E; A ; n . N; B.A. Western Maryland University T came to Washington and Lee with a de- gree already tacked onto his name, having received an A.B. at Western Maryland I niver- sity. Desiring to obtain as fine an education as possible he came to W. L. as the place for his P.G., and in 1919 entered the Law School where his ability and popularity soon won for him the honor of the presidency of the Inter- mediate Law Class. Wolford did not leave home for some reason (probably feminine), at the first of this session, but entered the Law Sehool at Georgetown where he stayed until he saw the W. L. — Georgetown game. That settled it, and since January he lias been with us again. Torrence gets his degree in June, and his ntany friends, although regretting to see him leave, wish him all sticcess. 70 Robert Cornelius Wood, Lynchburg, Virginia K S; W. F.: A A Jr. Dick Wood, as he is familiarly called by all who know him, and let it be said «e all know him, came in as a regular in the fall of 1919 and since that time has made himself either a valu- able asset or a terrible liability to the college, depending of course, upon the point of view of the person doing the -iewing. But laying all joking aside we must agree with Dick ' ' that without him, Washington and Lee would not have been what it has during the past two years. When he leaves with his law degree in June, one of the best liked men will be gone from the campus. Realizing that to have friends one must show himself friendly, Dick has shown himself a real friend and has won the friendship of many. Also on the dance floor he has made his fame and the ladies all admit that he ' s just the nicest man. Here ' s luck to you, Dick, when you start out for yourself, and if you still persevere as you have done here, you cannot help making one of the best lawyers that Old Virginia has ever seen.

He realized that his country might some day need him, so he stole a march on his class and secured his A.B. in June, 1916, after but three years residence. Then moving over to Tucker Hall he was able to complete one year of work in law before the call of the country came in the spring of 1917. The next two years found Bruce an ensign in naval aWation, but after the war- clouds rolled by. he returned to W. L. to com- plete his education. One would think that the above record Wiis sufficient in itself.

When Dean Campbell first saw the young Freshman he was reminded of a Phi Beta Kappa brother who had preceded him. In his characteristic manner, Dean Harry told this Freshie what was expected of him. Sam said Yes, Sir, and did it. He has an almost perfect record of attendance at classes, gymnasium, and dances. For three years in succession he won departmental scholarships in Latin, History and English, respectively. His work in the latter subject won his initiation to Sigma I ' psilon. While not a shark at pushing balls over the green baize, Sam has not been averse to an occasional visit to the popular winter resort, from which we may conclude that he has made a most pleasant sojourn in college and has suc- ceeded in securing excellent grades without sacrificing the joys of association with his fellow- students.

But when he did make up his mind — Oh, Boy! he pulled right out up here and has stayed here ever since. While here. Milling has been prominent in the social life about the campus. His presence is a necessary prerequisite to every dance, and his illuminating countenance is a very desirable part of a good many classes with which he has found it rather hard to escape contact. Di ' pendable in every respect, a faithful and successful student, a true and genial friend, his departure this finals will be a loss to his many friends that will be keenly felt.

Harry Louis Goff Chester, Penn.syivania X r G; German Scholarship It is usually customary to call a man by his shortest name, and if that is not short enough, to create or manipulate a name for him. But Goff satisfied all the requirements and he reg- ularly goes by that name now. Coming to Washington and Lee in 1919 with advanced standing, he has done his work and is just wait- ing until he can con -ince the faculty that that is just a beginning of his knowledge. With his entrance into the University, the profs have decided that another is to be added to the already large number belonging to the Class Pisces, to the Species Shark. Hopping such courses as Ethics and French H for crips, he has proved the old adage that anything is easy for the man who knows it. - nd Man, but he does know it!

Although entering col- lege rather young, Roland soon began to show his ability along scholastic lines by winning the English Scholarship in his Sophomore year. Scholarship not an end in itself, but as a means to a broader viewpoint has been his aim, and his man.v friencls have vatched his rapid devel- opment with much pleasure. E.specially along journalistic lines has he de eloped his versatile ability, which has culminated in the Editorship of the Hhtg-liim Phi. Not by any means a bookworm, yet one of the brightest men on the campu s, Roland has made an enviable record while at Washington and Lee. Prominent in literary society work, interested in all college activities, especially the Y. M. C. A., popular with student.s and faculty, he goes forth indeed a worthy product of the L niversitv.

He has apparently lost none of his ability, for he has been on the Varsity squad for two years at W. L., and is making a very strong bid for a position on the first team this year. Phil ' s cheery smile, genial good nature, and sterling qualities have made him a host of friends on the campus. The high esteem in which he is held by his classmates is attested by the fact that he was elected President of the Senior Academic Class. 80 Solly Albert Hartzo Atlanta, Texas n K A; W.

He woul l have obtained his degree last year had the little unpleasantness with Germany not in- terfered with his work. Aside from doing well in his studies, Solly has taken much interest in things literary, having had much to do with the Ring-turn Phi and Calyx while here. Besides being on both staffs at various times, he was . ssociate Editor of Calyx in 17-18 and Assistant Editor-in-Chief of the Ring-fiim Phi in ' 9- ' -Z0.

The fall of 19 ' 20 found him once more enrolled in the ranks of his former classmates, insistently demanding a degree. Xoble is a s])lendid student, an excellent logician, and his prowess in argument is in- disputable. In foiu ' years he has acquired a degree and taught school one year. He is a consummate master of that popular art vulgarly known as shooting the bull. On the floor of Doremus his grace is indescribable and many are the victims of his hne. He starred on the Freshman debating team and i n his l■las foot- ball team. In any profession his enterprise and ability will iindouhtedlv make him a success. 81 William Courtney Ki. (. Roanoke, Virginia mior Manager Born in the Magic City. December 10, 1897, Courtney had plenty of opportunity in the early years of his life to see what kind of a University Washington and Lee really is, for the Generals usefl to journey to Roanoke every fall to meet their ancient rivals, V. P. I. So it was quite natural that he should enter here as a Freshman in the fall of 1917. (juict and unassuming, yet with a disposition that limufjlil liim fricu ls from the very beginning, he tfadil pursued the paths of knowledge and the roads of friendship until he won the respect of the faculty and all the social insignia that his fellow students had to offer. He was Junior manager of football in the fall of 1919. and executive committeeman of his class the same year. Courtney expects to be a bank president some day, but he will meanwhile continue his educa- tion in the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration.

His first year he worketl hard and we recall having seen his name on the Honor Roll of students for that ,vear. For his con- scientious work he was rewarded a scholarship in Latin. .Since then he has decided that four years is too long for a solid minded, vigorous youth to spend in getting an eflucation. and as a result determined that he would take his . .B. degree in three years. When Knebel leaves us. a prominent figure will be gone from the campus, and he will be missed as all real men and true gentlemen are.

During his stay here, Pat has participated in athletics, publicational work, dramatics and musical activities, and the Young Mens Christian Association in which he was very active. In these outside activities, however, studies have not been neglected. Taking as his purpose to do ever ' thing within reason that was aske i of him for anybody, Pat has come close to his ideal, and no one on the campus is more highly thought of in terms of clean, unselfish, vigorous manhood. FuA.NK MaXN 1 ()LL(JLK Bluefield, West Virginia Frank Pollock was born on June iQ. 1900, in Bluefield, West Virginia, which he proudly claims as only a few miles from the old Virginia line. Mien he came to Washington and Lee in the fall of 1917, he did not toot a brass horn, or wear socks with rings around them, but his ac- quaintances very soon began to hear from him those quaint and original flashes of quiet wit for which he has since become famous among his friends; and though he says, characteristically, that he is no shark, ' we notice that he is taking a certificate in French, which, under the guidance of Cutie, is considered the stitfest language course in school. Frank, who is known as the banker, has in fact the quiet efficiency, the canny good sense, the steady poise, and the ability to get there with out making a big fuss, such as character- izes the twentieth-century business man. Be- sides that, he has the capacity for making and holding friends, which is probably a result of his having been reared so close to the Virginia line. 86 Samuel Lucas Raines Raines, Tennessee A T S!; W.

Entering school with a full realization of the task before him, and with the sincere determination to accomplish this task in the true and manly way, Sammy has com- manded from the first day of his matriculation the respect and admiration of his fellow students. His frank, open manner and his genial disposition have won him a host of friends who %vill indeed miss him after his graduation. For three years his timely hits on the diamond have pulled manv a game out of the fire, and for four vears his side-stepping on the gridiron has been rivaled only by his practical appli- cation of that art on the ballroom floor. Oscar Brownlee Simmons, Jr. Laurens, South Carolina Simmons realized that a degree from Wash- ington and Lee is the most valuable degree in the world, and so came here to finish up his academic work and carry off his degree. Not only that, but he had heard related for so long the manv excellencies of Washington and Lee that he just could not refrain from coming up and getting a whiff, at least, of this good old college ' s atmosphere. .Although he has been here barely one year, Sinnnons has demonstrated a wonderful abilit.v at making and keeping friends. He has also shown a willingness to study and has achieved considerable scholastic distinction. His numerous friends wish him nothing but the greatest of successes in whatever he ma.v essav to do.

He is one of the men of whom it may truly be said that he has got the most out of his college life. He has confined himself to no one field, but has displayed consideiable versatility. Bill is no mean athlete; he is a regular participant in all social affairs and, at the same time, he is a shark without being a bookworm. His friends are legion, for to know him is to like him, and to know him well is to love him. Bill has not yet decided what he will make his life ' s work, but whatever it may be, we are sure that he will be eminently successful. He has the rep- utation of doing what he sets out to do. George Gerald Stone Wytheville, Virginia Senior .Vcademic Calvx Staff Here we have another Southwest Virginia product, and now we wonder no longer why she is proud of them. George ' s college life has been roseate with success. His beaming countenance is familiar to all on the campus, and he has acquired the friendship and esteem of those with whom he comes in contact. He was chosen by his class- mates to represent them on the Executive Com- mittee in his Senior year, which is a tribute in itself. George is quiet, unassuming, diligent, and persevering, and has cut a niche in the cam- pus life of V. L. that will remain for years to come. He expects to follow the noble profession of administering to the suffering anil afflicted, and if he is as proficient in healing wounds as he is in wounding hearts, his patients will flock to him from the furthermost corners of the earth. You have the best wishes, George, of the grand old Clas.i of il in all of your f itnre undertakings. 88 Joshua Hoge Tyler Sutherland Tiny, Virginia 2 T; Ithig-tum Phi Staff; Vice-President Grahiini-Washing- ton Literary Society Hoge came in early in 1917 from Tiny, a.. and since that time has made himself an osten- sible personage in our august body. Of course that is nothing unexpected, for he had already made himself the enviable one at the Lebanon State School. There, among other things, he received a medal for declamation ami won first place in a State Essay Contest. . lthough Hoge is by no means a bookworm. he has taken a good scholastic standing while here and has felt the pleasure, if such there be, of gracing with his presence the Honor Roll. At the same time he has not forgotten his body and has developed into, we feel like saying, the b est handball player on the campus. Also we have here a man of considerable Uterary ability and of wonderful literary taste. He has the reputation of writing the most literary letters of any student here, and that no doubt accounts for the number of janes ' with whom he corresponds. After getting his dip in June, Hoge intends to teach for a few years, after which he will probably take up journalism.

While here he has shown his prowess in various and sundry ways. He is the one ten second man on the campus, and my, but you ought to see that boy run ! He looks just like an aeroplane taking its run before the jump. He has also shown his athletic prowess in ctmnection with the Harry Lee Crew as you will doubtless notice from the positions that he has held in it during the past few years. He says that this year will be the showdown and that the Harry Lees are as siu ' e to win over the Albert Sidneys as if they had already accomplished it. But that is not all. Franklin also holds the rank of Instructor in Spanish this year, an added accomplishment to one who already had a large number.

If there is any subject in which he may be said to be best, that subject is Politics, for the Science of States is his middle name; at least, Graimy saw fit to make him his man Friday in his Sophomore year, and he has held down that job ever since. (Ask the Freshies how well.) Laird possesses in abundance what most of us lack entirely, and that is the ability to put his whole soul into whatever he does and to do it well. He expects to practice law and we are sure that he will he one of its very best representatives. Reginald Ford Trotter Monticello, Arkansas K A; n a N; C.

Monticello was his birthplace and his greatest efforts in college have been to convince his skeptical associates that it is the Mecca of the West. He has passed more courses without buying text books than any student in school, and his classes have been a bed of roses for him, literally as well as figuratively. As a Freshman he was youth piTsonificd — the youngest man in the class. A a Si |iliiiniore he was a terror, and the Class of ii si ill holds him in awe. As a Junior he was a riotous suc- cess and cemented the popularity of his previous two years. . s a dignified Senior he was a model of conservatism, relaxing into genial warmth only for his friends who are legion. Throughout his college career his social endeavors lunc ever met with success and on the dance floor his sinuous grace is delightful to behold. During his four years on the campus, Runt has been one of the best-liked men in school, and we predict for him, unbounded success in after life. 90 Edward Lyxn Westbrooke, Jr. Jonesboro, Arkansas B e n; X r 6; Chemistrv Assistant ' iO-il: Combined Musical Clubs ' 18; Albert Sidney Boat Club; Secretary and Treasurer Senior Class Eddie ' was pointed out in his freshman year as a man who quietly pursued his own way, never interfering with iipperclassmen, un- obtrusive, reserved, and a gentleman in the finest sense of the word. But under the quiet exterior, is a mind trained by consistent work in the classroom, an interest in college activities which has been rewarded by two offices in his class, and a dependability which brings his name in mind when a hard job has to be done. Majoring in Chemistry, Eddie was made Chemistry Assistant his senior year. The many hours spent by him in the lab. working out formulas in Chem. i. or the experience in run- ning a furnace he got in Chem. 19 ' -2, might each be sufficient to stamp him as an ambitious follower of Dr. Howe. But we believe Eddie will have a hard time resisting the allurements of some social life, judging from the excellence of his dancing, and so we hope that in the midst of any grind ' he may plan out for himself in the realm of Chemistry, he will always have time to join his friends in the mad whirl of the dance.

Lems Stansbury Musgrove after a prolonged sojourn of many years ' dur- ation has at last attained the required state of efBciency and has been awarded a degree. Great joy for all aspirants to social honors be- cause Mus has had a monopoly on them for years; but great sorrow for all Intercollegiate Prom Trotters because Lewis has been a con- stant source of joy and delight and his absence will be keenly felt by all. . side from being a veritable lion in the social affairs on the campus, Lewis has gone into other fields and has dis- played his genius, achieving success at every turn. He has one eye on the Supreme Bench and the other on the great iron industry; we do not know which will attract and claim him. We predict success in either of the two or in any of the countless others. 96 Melvin Willard Parse Batesville, Arkansas Engineering Society; Assistant in Engineering, ' l9- 20, ' 20- ' 51; President Engineering Society ' il Oh! You are looking for a real man and a true gentleman? Then hunt up Melvin Parse. Melvin came to us in 1919 after his discharge from the army, and due to previous training at Arkansas College, he is carrying off his degree with the Class of ' •21 and doing it well, too, so the professors tell us. When the war began, MeK-in, as a real red- blooded man from . rkansas, waited only until he was eighteen to join the colors and saw ser- vice in numerous training camps on this side of the water with the rank of sergeant first class. He says that he thoroughly sj-mpathizes with Leonard Wood in his inability to get across. During his short stay here, Mehnn has made many friends and has proved himself a leader of the first rank, taking part in all activities from politics to football. Melvin is determined to make a great success as a civil engineer, and judging from all indi- cations, he can ' t help doing it. Benjamin Wissler Partlow Staunton, Virginia X r G; Vice-President Senior Science; Cross Country Team, IQ- ' M, ' iO- ' il; Albert Sidney Boat Crew Entering Washington and Lee from Staunton Military Academy with the grand Class of ' il, Ben ' let it be known at once that he was here for the purpose of getting a B.S. in Chemistry. Rooming two miles out of town, he walked back and forth each day to his classes, and often worked in the lab until far into the night. With such a spirit he has continued to tackle all the problems set before him in college life and has won respect and a good standing in his classes through sheer force of character and hard work. Not alone is Ben a well known fixture in the laboratory, but he has made good as a cross country runner, making the team for two years. Ben is also knowTi on the campus to a large extent, as well as in Harrisonburg, whither he is known to make frequent visits. His classmates wish him God-speed in his life ' s chosen field of Chemical Engineering, in which he intends to study at Johns Hopkins next year. CAOfX n n Robert Blair Price Farmville, Virginia K A; X r 6; n A N; C. C; Monogram Club: Varsilv Track •JO and ' il; Captain il Track Team Just because a man is born at Hampden Sid- ney, a., isn ' t any reason why he has to go to Hampden Sidney College. Thus reasoned one Robert Blair Price. Born on the sixth day of December, 1899, just in time to belong to the last century, constitutes the birth record of this young gentleman. Later in life he moved to the more thriving metropolis of Farmville and there he remained until the fall of 1917. At that time he descended upon Lexington amid a rain storm, a cloud of smoke and the Virginia Creeper to attack the School of Science. Since that time he has made his presence felt in almost every branch of college activity. Known to the ladies as an adorable dancer, to the professors as a steady, consistent student, to the athletes as a good track man and to his friends as a regular fellow, such a man is Blair.

Shortly after his matriculation he identified himself with the Ring-tum Phi. making the staff, and his ciiUcgc life since has been one long round of outside activity, during which he has found time to make grades which classify him as a good student. His activities on the campus have been as varied as the winter weather, ranging from a Delta Sigma Rho key in his Sophomore year to the Editorship of the Ritig-tum Phi and an Omicron Delta Kappa key his Junior term. While his fields of endeavor have been dis- tinctly literary, Bill s successes have been in no way limited to such a narrow scope. He has found time to give his services unstintingly to the University, making talks at preparatory schools and he has been active with the . Finally, when William J. leaves here his ab- sence will be keenly felt. He has acquired the reputation of a worker, on the campus, and his position will not be easily filled. 98 (Tl CAELYX David Carlisle Storey Houston, Texas r l n A N; Engineering Society; Class Basketball tour years. Captain Junior Basketball Team It is said that some people are born with gold spoons in their mouths, some people acquire them and some have gold spoons thrust between their teeth. We don ' t know how it got there but Da -id Carlisle Storey certainly has one in his mouth, or sometimes we think the gold is in his head or better still it comes to our mind that his head is valuable, the value being reckoned in terms of gold. For the way that boy does hit ' em over in the Engineering School would make an ordinary person dizzy. But lets lay aside all joking, except that we don ' t joke, and come to a short discussion of his many attainments while here on the campus. It is useless to mention the fact that although he has been mainly occupied with his studies. he has found time to make a large number of loyal friends and has mixed in all the activities that we associate with a good sport. On leaving, Store.v will take with him the good will of the entire student bodv. James Roy Stuart Versailles, Kentucky ■ing Society; . Ibert Sidney Boat Since February ' •20, 1898, when .Jabe Stuart began his career at Winchester, Kv., his long legs ha e been growing longer, while he has been tripping about in the blue grass of his native State, or on the polished floor of the Doremus Gymnasium. But do not gather from the above that Jabe is onl.v an old tea hound. Since he came to W. L. in the fall of 1917, he has safely treaded the mazes of the Engineer- ing School: he has rowed on the . lbert Sidney Boat Crew, and gained the name of a true man and a true friend. He graduates with the degree of B.S., and ex-pects to go to Cornell to specialize in electrical engineering; but we have a notion that he loves Kentuckv horses, and other Ken- tuckv products, too well to take up the roWng life of an engineer. Some day, after he has settled in the blue grass section, with thoroughbred horses, and a racing car, and also a private still, and perhaps a beautiful wife — we know not what else — we think he will go to the legislature, and live be- loved and respected in his native State as he has been at W. L. John Wesley Bell Thompson Waynesboro, Virginia 2N Dad entered Washington and Lee last year as a Junior. Turning back to the fall of 1915 we find him at V. P. I. where he stayed two years. The next two years were spent in achieve- ments along another line, and Dad returned from the war a captain. Seeking peace and quietude he came to W. L. where his success has continued. The highest chemistry courses were easy for him, and as for electrical engineer- ing, well, our hats are off to him there. He plans to follow this line and we know that he will su. ceed. The world wants men who can deliver the goods. and Dad can do that. Furthermore, Dad has not neglected the other things that go to make up a well rounded fellow. He is a good baseball player, and some- thing of a ladies ' man to boot. Ve expect him to settle down soon: some think they can guess with whom. ' ashington and Lee loses and the world gains a good man. 100 Floyd Damon Comptox Brunswick, Maryland 2 N; W.

Ortlimlra IT- ' IS If a gentleman is known by his clothes and bearing, then in Damon we have the gentle- man par excellence. Quiet, reserved and dignified, he puts up a prepossessing appearance in any company, even at the University of which he is an important factor. Damon came to us in September, 1917, after having received his preparatory training at Brunswick High School and Peabody Con- servatory of Music. Although he was a con- spicuous violinist in the W L. Orchestra his freshman year, he has been too busily occupied battling for a B.S. in Commerce since, to display publicly his musical ability. Damons scholastic record is excellent and his attainments at college are not limited to the musical and scholastic, as he has proved him- self to be a business man of the highest calibre. By consistent attention to his duties at the University Dining Hall he has succeeded in raising it to a standard creditable to himself and the University. He is not sure of his life work, but we predict the same success in whatever he may under- take that he has already attained here. Edward Franklin Garber Harrisonburg, Virginia A X P; K B ; Combined Musical Club, 1918; Washington Literary Societ.v; . lbcrt Sidney: Finals Exeruli e Com- mittee ' aO; . ssistant Cheer Leader E. Franklin is another man from the little valley town of Harrisonburg, which he says has all the advantages of a city and none of its disadvantages. But to this distinction thrust upon him he has added many a solid acquire- ment. . fter weathering the Freshman storms he was soaked into the S. A. T. C. — but not for long! Soon he was at Camp Lee and in March he returned to the campus, gracing the officer s uniform. Completing the six months ' work in four was a small matter to Frank and he has been setting a hard pace for the denizens of Newcomb Hall ever since. In Commerce lies a shark; at dancing hes a bear; with the ladies he ' s a lion. He can do any thing — almost, and is adept at selling point (.Ask him!). Straight- forward and frank, loyal and generous, genial and unassuming — it is with reason that his friends are many. You cant keep a good man down, ' it is said. Frank should go to the top in his chosen field — bu.siness. 102 Lester Jackson Fox Chattanooga, Tennessee B e n; O K: S. C: Monogram Club; Varsitv Football ' 17, ' 18; Varsity Basketball ' 18; President Sophomore Class ■18- ' 19 Les entered Washington and Lee in the fall of 1917, and immediately made himself known on the campus by winning a place on Raftery ' s Fighting Generals of 1917. The basketball team also felt the need of his help and he easily became a regular in that sport. Fox was known not only as an athlete but proved his popularity and powers of leadership by his election by an overwhelming majority to the presidency of his class. The next year he was a mainstay of the S. A.T. C. football, and by the end of his Sopho- more year his position on the campus was rec- ognized to the extent that he was elected to the Circle. an honor few attain so early in the college course. Lester then decided that his life work in the exporting business demanded his presence in South . merica, so he spent a year at Buenos Aires, holding a position in the Consular Service and attending the National University of Buenos Aires. He returned in time to get his degree with his class, and this year completes a college career, short, but full of honors. WiLLi. .M Andrew Gibbons, Jr. Roanoke, Virginia K 2; Troubadours; Commerce Scholarship 19J0; Track Team IH ' Jl Roanoke, ever a place of interest, has now an added significance in the eyes of the world in general and of this campus in particular as the birthplace of William . . Gibbons, Jr. Bill soon tired, howe ' er, of the Magic City as a place of study and moved his temporary place of abode to Blacksburg, taking advantage of the few advantages and the many disadvantages furnished a matriculant of V. P. L But after two years of very successful study, he realized that even better things were in store for him, and in the fall of 1919 we find him pleasantly seated in the Commerce School of Washington and Lee. During the short time that he has been here, Bill has achieved for himself the reputation of a shark and has been showered with well-deserved scholastic honors, including the permission to have his name inscribed with the chosen few on the Honor Roll. Besides his attainments as a student, Bill has made a host of loyal friends all of whom wish him wonderful success in his chosen pro- fession. 103 Homer E. Henderson Sulphur Springs, Texas K S; l:! ; W. F.; KB ; Football Squad four years; Monogram Football ' 0 Sans guns, spurs and cowboy hat, the young man you sec pictured here is none other than our friend Heavy Henderson. Heavy hails from the wild and woolly West and still he in- sists that his home State, Texas, is the garden spot of the world. Be that as it may (room for argument), he came to Washington and Lee in the fall of 1917, and during his four years here on the campus, his ability to make friends and his wonderful personality has proved that we can look for big things from him in the future. When we think of Heavy we think of foot- ball, because for the past four years his consist- ent fighting and determination will long be remembered and we will never forget his per- formance in the Auburn game in which he played the last quarter with a dislocated shoulder for which, time was never taken out. We hate to see you go, Heavy, and may your dream of finding an oil well in your own back yard be realized. If your career in life is as successful as that in college we are assured of your success. ,J. MEs Franklin Somers Jacksonville, Florida K ; S.

Activated by business instinct he leased a corner of the Commerce Library and quietly perused the pamphlets therein until the spring of his Sophomore year when he enlisted for service in the Marine Corps. His next fifteen months were spent over- seas with the Second Division in the Army of Occupation stationed at Treves, Germany. Here our Scotch Apollo engaged himself ex- pounding geometry a la Smith to the frauleins of the hamlet under the title of Army Instructor. He returned to W.

A descendant of the first head of the institution, his life was devoted to its interests and no service in its behalf was too great or too small to receive the benefit of his tireless energy and enthusiasm. His span of life witnessed the growth of Washington and Lee I ' niversity, and his career has left its im])ress ujjon the activ- ities and traditions of our .school. For many years he took a large part in guiding the athletic interests of the University and it was his endeavors which resulted in the creation of the Graduate Manager plan, which has recently been installed on the campvis. For the two years just passed he has held the office of President of the Alumni Association and this body has received new life from his active and efficient ad- ministration. It was his mind which conceived the idea of erecting our Memorial Gateway and his almost single-handed efforts which achieved a realization of this plan in the beautiful structure which now stands at the entrance to our campus as a permanent record of Washington and Lee ' s devotion to country and to duty. Let it also stand for us as a symbol of the same love of his country and of his Alma Mater and her sons which was embodied in the life of Edward L. Graham. 126 F. W. Cobb R. M. Frew J. W. C.

Bible Study was again emphasized, and was conducted on the Discussion (Irou]) Plan, the Normal Training Class being led l)y Dr. E. F. Shannon. In addition to these classes there were five Student Bible ( lasses conducted on Sunday morning, one at each of the four local churcOies, and a ( amjjus Class in the .Association Room. A Promotion Force of Men who signified at the beginning of school that they were willing to take ])art in Christian work was formed at the first of the year, and met every other Thursday night. These meetings were devoted to a study of some of the methods and reasons for ])ersonal Cliristian work. This Promotion Force was the nucleus of the whole Association Program, the members pledging them- selves to support the various religious activities of the As.sociation. including Bible Study and General Religious Meetings. On intervening Thursday nights the General Religious Meetings were held. Among speakers of prominence who ad- dressed these meetings during the year were: Dr. J. R. Howerton, and Dr. F. L. Riley of our own Faculty, Rev. Block of Roanoke, Dr. Winfield Scott Hall, Judge Christian of Lynchburg, ' Pat Withrow of ( harleston, W. Va., Union Mission, and others. This article goes to [jress too early to include an account of special evangelistic meetings held during the first week of March under the leadership of D. Melvin Trotter of (Jrand Rapids, Michigan. Details of the Mission Program also have to be omitted from this article on account of early publication requirements. The Association expects to devote the month of Aj)ril to Missionary em])hasis both in the Religious leetings and in the Voluntary Study (irou])s. The Social Service Program has consisted largely of work with the boys of the Lexington High School. In addition to this work, conducted under the leader- ship of W. B. Patterson, about ten students are teaching classes and rendering other religious service in the community, other than in connection with the Church Young Peoples ' Societies, where a large number of students are active. iioNdi! s s l•;M ( a tkk 14( The Social Pro jraiii of tlie Association lias Ijeeii er,v active. Mr. E. W. Cuniinings, chairman of tliis pliase of tlie work, withdrew from coliefie in Novem- ber, hut liis work continued. Special social features were given to the new men at the beginning of the year, at Thanksgi ing, and during tlic Christmas Holidays. Mr. J. W. Dupree assumed the duties of chairman of the Social ( ommiltec during the Winter term. During this term, Sunday Afternoon socials and musicales helped to pass the lonesome Sunday afternoons. Attractive umsic, light refresh- ments, and good-fellowship regidarly composed the jirogram. The three excellent musical programs of the Lyceum Course were very enthusiastically received by the students who attended them. These entertainments were gixcii as a mendier- .ship privilege free to all students and members of the Faculty of the I ' uiversity. Admission tickets were sold to the people of Lexington to help dcfra. - the cost of the course. No feature of the (teneral Program of the year has been without the direct or indirect influence of the Ladies ' Auxiliary of the Y. M. C A., organized last fall among the ladies of the faculty and the town. This organization has constantly co-operated with the Y. L C. A. to nuike its work easier and more attractive. Through its influence more students, es])ecially new students, have been socially received into the attractive homes of Lexington than ever before. E ery student who has had to go to the hospital has received their warm-hearted and cordial attentions. Their co-operation has added countless attractions to the many features of the work, and it is sincerely ho])ed that they will continue their welcome ministrations. The 1!) 2()- ' ' 21 budget of the Y. M. C. A. totalled over $,5,(M)(). The students and Faculty contributed a|)])roximately one third of this through xoluntary con- tributions. The Hoard of Trustees gave generous recognition to the work by an appropriation of .$ ' • , ()()() toward the salary of the General Secretary. Probably no feature of the Y. M. C. A. work was more api)reciated by the students than the football coaching by the General Secretary. With the consent of the advisory board and student officers of the Association, the Secretary devoted every afternoon during the football season to assisting Coach Raftery ilevelop the successful l!) ' -20 team of the Fighting (ienerals. The Secretary, Ted Shultz, i)layc(i on the Washington and Lee football teams of lS)l ' -2, l.S, 14, and ' ].), and brought to his coaching not only football experience but also a love of the school and a devotion to clean athletics which made his .services invaluable. His work was a labor of love, and his .service a contribution from the Y. L C. A. to the .Vthletic Association, as it was performed gratis. The Recreation Room of the Association, where there is a piano and a ictrola, and also checkers, chess, and current magazines, still proves to he one of the most popular spots on the cam])us. It is hard to realize what our cam])us was without such a social center. One corner of the Recreation Room is gi en over to the uuuh- famed Honor System Canteen of Washington and l,ec. which continues o|)eration imder the supervision of the .Vssociation. May the Young Men ' s Christian Association, organized on our campus in 1867 with the ins])iring co-operation of Robert E. Lee himself, continue to exert its wholesome influence as a moral, rcliuious. and social factor in our l ni -ersity life. CAELYX n n (grabam-liaHlTutgtau ICttrrarg §0mtg Officers; J. H. T.

Parks 154 mmm An ItBlnnral i ' ketdi I the fall quarter of 1!(1!), three men keenly interested in coUefie dramatics founded The Trouhadours. Throufih the efforts of these men — Dr. J. L. Howe. Ted Schultz, and V. E. Kemp — a constitution was drawn up, officers elected, and the organization started on its way. Preparations were at once made for the jiresentation of a premier performance, and in two months after its founding, The Troubadours made its debut with a semi-vaudeville entertainment which was well received. Not satisfied with this initial effort. Mr. John A. (iraham, the Faculty Advisor, furnished an excellent score as the basis of a nnisical comedy. And around this music, ]Mr. J. L. Peck, a member of The Troubadours, wrote the book Don ' t Let This Happen To You, presented in Lexington during the winter term and taken on the road for a successful tour of .several Virginia cities. With the success of its first year ' s existence as a spur to advancement The Troubadours started the 19 ' -20- ' ' -21 session with high ambitions. In November, an opening variety show was offered in Ijcxington and the audience responded with much applause and many dollars. From November until February, the entire organization concentrated on the production of a second musical comedy. .Vgain the nuisic was written by ]Mr. John A. Graham; this time the book was written by Mr. Stuart Moore, a member of The Troubadours. The production was entitled, Let ' s Dance, and was presented to a Lexington audience during the winter dances. It was a tremendous success and when taken on the road was as well received in the .several Virginia and West Virginia cities as it had been in Lexington. The Troubadours is a success and has been recognized as an important University organization. M first there was no higher aim than to amuse the Univer- sity public. Outside of a love scene or two, the first show was not hampered by a plot: but, as success grew, a broader raison d ' etre was demanded of The Trouba- dours . So now to evoke any enthusiasm a production must not only be clever but also logical, original, edifying, beautiful, well staged, expensive, and above reproach. In the future, The Troubadours will not be content with musical comedy but will endeavor to give its friends an opportunity to enjoy the serious drama. dfxccutibc taff J. W. UVPREK J. L. Peck O. W.

White An Appr? rtatioit Perhaps the most pleasing ' and impressive acquaintance one makes at Washington and Lee is with the smiling and truly lovable Miss Annie White. For years she has been Miss Annie to us all, always kind, always loving, always true, and always loved by those who know the sincerity and nobleness in this little woman ' s heart. Miss Annie White has, beyond a doubt, done more toward making this institution the center of college social life than any- one, either in or out of the faculty. Her Fancy Dress Ball .sets the social pace for the Southern colleges, and up to this writing the pace has ne -er been passed, nor has it been equalled. How- ever, Miss Annie does not limit her.self to .society, for she has a library that Mr. ( arnegie, its donor for whom it is named, would be proud to walk into and claim at any time. With its countless books, many of priceless value, it is the object of esteem and the habitation of many students. In a word, Mi.ss Annie is all that could be asked of any mortal. To her we never bid a sliarj) goodbve. but alwavs a soft, sad Aloha —Until We Meet Again.— J. L. P. 170 O C I E T Y oplpmnrr OlDttUtnn November 9. 19-20 Led by F. W.

Manager -21o CAEJyX n n ®ljp 3fontltall Sraann FA( IX(i what was uiuleiiiat)ly the most fonnidahle eight-game schedule in recent years, the 9-2() Football season was ushered in somewhat inauspiciously at Washington and Lee on Sep- tember loth. Sixty-five would-be wearers of the Blue and White reported to Head Coach Hill Raftery on Wilson Field for the first l reliminary workout preparatory to the initial contest of the season with Davidson on October ' 2nd. tm The general con.sensus of opinion on the campus, from the iewpoint of the coaches and from the student body as well, seemed to be that the Generals could .scarcely hope for the forth- coming season to compare favorably with the one which had preceded it, and justly .so. The s(|uad itself, though not seriously crippled, was unmis- takably handicapped by the loss of .several of last season ' s veterans who had taken out.standing parts in the 191!) victories. Among these were Captain Turner Bethel at tackle, Big Ed Bailey at guard, and Oliver Daves, end. each of whom was .seemingly invaluable. The order of games on the schedule, however, gave the follow- ers and .supporters of the team more worry than the loss of last season ' s stellar performers, for Princeton, V. P. I., West Virginia, Auburn, and (Georgetown were to be played practically consecu- tively. A glance at this array of oi)ponents warranted no little worry on the jjart of ail. from the coach down to the newest candi- date to don the moleskins. There was no gainsay- ing the fact that the 10 ' -20 season would indeed ]jrove the mettle of the Fighting Generals. Quite in keeping with his previous perform- ances and refusing to be daunted by the ominous outlook. Head Coach W. C. Raftery, more famil- iarly known on the campus as ■Bill, ably abetted by Assistant Head Coach Ted Shultz, set about the apparently enormous task of whipjiing into shape an eleven-man machine which would be ab le to give an entirely satisfactory account of itself against its opponents. It was not long before e en the more pessimistic ones who were attending the preliminary drills and .scrimmages on Wilson Field each afternoon, were viewing the future with more confidence. Ca])tain Lindsay Moore, Barrow, Sanford, Mattox, Henderson and Patterson, all of whom had ])layed in the line last year, and Silverstein, Raines. McDonald, and Cogbill, last season ' s back- field veterans, formed the nucleus around which Coach Raftery was ra])idly building a figliting machine. .Vs to the new material, the l)ackfield seemed to lie taken care of in the personages of Tucker (all-West ' irginia st;ite |)rep back), Cameron, (Culver •216 CAOfXl ♦ Military Academy ' s fullback), and Frew, while Leake of Meiiipliis University school, Dockery, and Thomas were all showing up well as prohahle line contenders. Even at this early stage of the season, there were others who gave excellent promise of becoming valuable additions to the s(|uad. There seemed to be an abundance of material from which to select both a regular backfield and a line, but as before, the ab sence of an ctfectixc ])unter was es])C(ially noticeable. This absence was perha])s the one seriously weak spot in the (ienerals makc-n|) for the remainder of the season. On October ' •2nd, Davidson came to Lexington with a ' 2.j to defeat at the hands of North Carolina hanging around their necks, and a fairly easy game had been anticii)ated by Coach Hal ' tcry as a starter for the (ienerals. By this time, tiic (ienerals ' line-up had at least been tentatixcly decided. Paget was in the pivotal position at the center of the line, Patterson and Harrow were at the guard stations, Cai)tain Moore and San- ford were at left and right tackle res])ectively, while Hcriulon and McDonald cavorted on the right and left wings. Bullet Joe Silverstcin was at ((uarter and call- ing signals, Raines was at right half. Tucker (the only new man to start the game) was at left half, while Monk Littox was in the fullback ]30sition. The game, though, slow throughout, proved to be stiffer than the Generals had contracted for, the final whistle revealing but a scant 6 points to Daxidson ' s 0. Although the Blue and White outplayed the Davidsonians in every de])artment, making eleven first downs to their two, and twice having the ball on their 5-yard line, they seemed to lack the punch to carry it over at the crucial moment. Silverstein ' s unfailing toe was responsible for our total points, he dropjjing two field goals over in the course of the after- noon, one in the .second (|uarter from the ZO-yard line and tiic other in the third cpiarter from the ' •25-yard line. The entire team showed up well in the opening contest, the line per- forming exce])tionally and giving evidence of mid-season form, turning back the assaults of the Wildcats time and again for no gain. The backfield showed that it would ])rimarily be one whose outstanding feature during the year would be sjjeed, more speed and still more speed. Tucker, who ])layed his first game of college football, showed that he would make a fit running-mate for the speedy Littox, while Bullet Joe and Raines jienetrated at will for substantial gains. Several substitutions were made in the final quarter, Henderson showing up well at center and Leake relie ing Herndon handily at end. I ' ndoubtedly, the (ienerals had an organization which needed tmly to become used to one another ' s style of jilay in a real contest to become seasoned. •217 « N CAOfX The second game of the season with Wake Forest on Octoljer 10th, resulted in a decisive ' •27 to victory for the Generals. From the first toot of the referee ' s tin until the last second of the fourth quarter, everything went in the (ienerals ' direction and to their liking. The backfield appeared slightly changed. Raines and Coghill, ha •ing suffered minor injuries were both held in reserve for the Princeton game on the following Saturday. Cameron took Raines ' place at right half, playing his first college game, and was res])onsible for one touchdown, showing heady work whenever called upon. Mattox was shifted to left half. Tucker to quarter, and Silverstein to full, although he still called signals. The line worked magnificently and had gaping holes on every i)lay for the backs to slide through for long gains. The Generals i)ut over twenty-four first downs to Wake Forest ' s none, and outplayed the ■isitors in every dei)artment of the game. The o])en field running of Tucker, the bullet-like forward passes of INIonk Afat- tox for 10, 15, and ' 25 yards at a clip, and the line-plungiug of Silverstein featured the afternoon ' s victory. Tucker esj ecially ' distinguished himself as a veritable find by his all-around brilliant play. With but ten seconds to go, he snatched a long ' 25-yard pass from Mattox just on the goal line and carried it over for the Generals ' final tally; it proving to be the hair-raiser of the evening ' s programme. On Saturday, October 16th, the Generals met their first reverse of the .season when Princeton by an irresistible attack defeated the Blue and White by a score of 34 to 0. Although the score was decisive, it does not offer a fair basis of com- parison for the two teams, since the game, early in the first ([uarter, was marred by one of those streaks of ill-fortune which are disastrous to a team which is playing on a foreign field and against odds. On the first play of the game, Silverstein tore off 6 yards through tackle, followed by Mattox, who reeled off 3 more, which was followed in turn by the jinx in the form of an unavoidable fumble straight into the out- stretched arms of (iarrity, who, on his feet and jjrotected by Gilroy as interference, dashed 45 yards for a touchdown and the first score of the game. This happening, unfortunate as it was, seemed to upset the Generals ' play completely. Admittedly, Princeton, during the entire game, was not more than two touch- downs better than the Generals ' , but the fact that their sub.sti- tutes were far more numerous than Washington and Lee ' s, and fresh to the bargain, offered too much of an obstacle for the Blue and White to overcome. For the Generals, the jjlaying of Captain Lind.say Moore was the feature of the game, his general alertness making him the central figure in every play. His all- around playing compared favorably with any one of Princeton ' s linemen. Fats Barrow also gave a good account of himself as did Tucker and Gogbill, though neither of the latter two played their usual flashy game. The sportsmanship of Princeton was of the highest order, and the generous treatment recei -ed at their hands by the Generals will long be remembered. Towards the close of the 218 CAOfX n ]i second half, both Raines and McDonald were injured and iiad to lie removed from the game. The Generals ])layed their last home game of the season against Roanoke College on Saturday, October ' 2. ' 5rd, defeating the visitors ■id to 7 in an easy fashion. At no time during the contest were the Generals called n])on to put forth their best efforts, and in ;i series of eight plays, three minutes after the o|)ening whistle had blown, the pigskin went o er the line for the initial marker. Playing in Lynchburg before a crowd of .),()()() |)ersous. the Generals romi)ed on, over, and around their ancient rivals from Virginia Polytechnic Institute on October .SOtli, to the refrain of l.S to 0. in the most bitterly contested game of the season. Tt was the eightecntii game that had bc(Mi played l)ct ween the two inst it ut ions. and as in former years, elaborate preparations were begun se cr: weeks in advance for a fitting in asion into the enemy ' s territory. A special train, carrying ])ractically the entire student body, left Lexington in the early morning of the all-im])ortant day (the band accompanying), for the scene of the contest. By the time for the whistle to blow, the field in Lynchburg was ])acked with the su])- porters of the two teams, and jiromptly at three o ' clock the fire- works began. The (ienerals won, fairly and sipiarely, because they were better than . P. L, which is, perhajjs the sim|)lest way of telling the story. The variety of the Blue and White attack, the heady generalshi]) displayed by Cogbil! at cinarter, and the all-around play of each individual on the team triumphed over the cadets in a gloriously earned victory. During the first quarter, it was anybody ' s game. There was not a single first down made by either team, which gives .some idea of their relative strength. In the .second tpiarter, however, V. P. I. began things with a rush by working the ball from midfield to the Generals ' 20-yard line. A drop kick failed, and the Generals had the ball on downs. From this ])oint on, there have been few teams representing W. and L. which have given evidence of such offensive tactics, for the sturily (ienerals began an SO-yard march down the field which ended only when Tucker circled left end for 15 yards on a criss-cross and the first score for W.ishington and I e. The second tally came in the third quarter after Arbogast had recovered a pnnt which had been blocked on Tech ' s ■ O-yard line. On the first down, Mattox received the j)ass, darted 5 yards to the right, and suddenly wheeling, shot one of his arrow- like passes straight into the waiting arms of Tucker, who crossed the line. The team as a whole worked sujjerbly. In the backfield. Tucker was responsible for both touchdowns and was on the receiving end of three of Mattox ' s long pas.ses. Cogbill skipped through the line and cantered the ends for numerous gains, while as usual, Silverstein was there with the old ])ile-driver ' s line linck when needed. In the line. Captain ] Ioore played his customary stellar game, while Arbogast, for the first time at varsity end, was in e ervthiiisi; from the first whistle on, gathering in one I ' i-yard •219 rs pass from Mattox and hlofking the punt which was responsible for the second score. 3 ' ? For the first time since 1!)1,5, that memorable year when Coach Sol letzger called his West ' irginia IMountaineers off the field on account of alleged unfairness on the part of an official, the Generals and West Virginia met at Charleston on November 6th, in the seventh and deciding game of their intercollegiate series, West Virginia winning by the close score of 14 to 10. It was the first time that West Mrginia had registered a win over Washington and Lee since 190:2, and their mainstay in this victory was the spectacular playing of Beck, their .star halfback, without whom there might have been a different story. Neither team scored in the first quarter but West Virgin a was the first to cross the line in the .second period, Harrick falling on a blocked v ])unt near the Generals ' 15-yard line for the .score. ■■ With characteristic fight, however, the (ienerals ■ came back and with the assistance of the Mat- tox to Bemis 35-yard pass, Silverstein plunged P over the lountaineers ' line and the score was even. In the third quarter, Silverstein sailed a beautiful tlrop kick over the bars from the 30-yard line and the score stood 10 to 7. With but five minutes to play. West ' irginia opened up a terrific assault, and with Beck doing the majority of the work, they finally managed to cross our line for the final and deciding touchdown. It was a great game, but the breaks were against the Generals. Tucker. Silverstein, Moore, and Sanford, as well as the others, played a remarkable fighting, smashing game and had it not been for the one lucky fumble 1 recovery of Harrick, the Generals would ha -e 1 73 annexed another victory to their belts. With two thirds of the regulars out of the game on account of injuries received in the West Virginia game, with the strain of a long, tiresome trip behind them and with the most adverse of weather conditions. Auburn administered the worst defeat that a Washington and Lee team has e ' er experienced, on Saturday. X() ember 13th. when they swamped the lighter Blue and White to the tune of 77 to 0. The Generals were hoi)elessly outweighed, and they had jilayed the hardest game of the season against West N ' irginia on the previous Saturday, putting everything they had into striving for a victory over the Mountaineers. Captain loore was out of the game with an injured knee, Raines and McDonald were each on the sick list, and Cogbill was also injured, making an irreparable loss. The contest was easy for the Aulnirnites. as the score indicates, although no little allowance should be made for the general condition of the Washington and Lee squad. Establishing a fitting close to a glorious season, Washington and Lee defeated their ancient and much-touted foes, Georgetown -2-20 University, at Wasliiiifitmi on N()vcml)or ' ' Oth, 1( to 7, in one of the cleanest-cnt victories of the season. The team journeyed to tlie capital witli the one idea of revenue for last year ' s defeat npperniost in their minds — and they obtained it. The shifty, flashing antics of the fonr .si)eed-merchants in the (ienerals ' hack- field, conpled with the stone-wall defense jjrcsented by the line, were bnlwarks of strength against which the Georgetown eleven was |)owerless. Again, tiie consistent and snceessful n.se of tiie aerial attack was mainly resi)onsible for the (ienerals victory. Only a few minntes after the game had begun, a :K)-yard toss, lattox to Leake, accounted for the first score. The second marker was made after IJemis had carried another ])ass to the 5-yard whitewash, ' I ' ncker taking it over on still another loss from the unerring arms of Mattox. Silverstein ' s drop kick from tiie tS.Vyard line put the (ienerals in the lead in the second (piarter. Captain Moore i)laye(l one of the greate.st games of his career in this contest. He was first down the field under several l)imts, and time and again dro|)])ed Flavin, ( leorgc- town ' s star i)erfornier, in his tracks. Tucker ran back punts well, w iiile Raines, back in the game from his injuries, i)layed his usual depentlable j liroved to be absolutely impregnable against (ieorgetown ' s sma.shes. In fact, the only department of the game in which the Blue and vv 1 ' ; Wiiite did not onti)lay (ieorgetown was in the ])unting direc ' tion. r fe. On tlie whole, the career of the V.HO (ienerals was essentially a checkered one. At times the eleven-man organization whicli ( ' oach Raftery and his assistants had built up was appar- ently unbeatable, as in the West Virginia, George- town and V. P. I. games, while again their playing was of the loosest sort, as in the Princeton and Auburn contests, handicai)i3ed, no doubt, by injuries and the strain and tire of long and telling trips. Too much cannot be said, however, of the magnifieent spirit which pervaded the work of the coaches, the team itself, and the substitutes, all and each of whom endea -ored always to play a square game and to bring honor to Washington and Lee. liter recovernig lune.

West Virginia, at ISIorgantown in the final game of the year kept the resume of the season from being written as closed in a blaze of glory, Washington and Lee ' s basketball record for 1921 was particularly successful in more ways than one. The decisive scores of the games which went down as victories for the Generals, the comparative closeness of the scores of the games which were lost, and finally the all-around play of the ciuintet when in action either at home or abroad attests unmistakably to the fact that Coach Raftery, again, as in football, l)roduced under adverse circumstances an organization of superior calibre, fit in every respect to represent Washington and Lee on the court. The loss of three letter men from last year ' s squad did not lend any impetus to the selection of a five this year. Captain- ' Buck Bryant and Ray Moore were a trio of mainstays whose absence was conspicuously noticeable on the floor shortly before the Christmas holidays when the first call for practice was issued by Coach Raftery. Preliminary work was indulged in from the close of the football season until the examinations began just l)efore Christmas. Practice was again started im- mediately following the return from the holidays. Thomas, Harris, McDonald, Snively and Stewart were tiiose on last year ' s squad who reported for duty, while several among the new men gave excellent promise of becoming contenders for positions. The 19 ' -21 season was ushered in officially as well as successfully with the game against Roanoke College, which resulted in a decisive 43-23 victory for the Generals. The University of South Carolina came next on the schedule and they were subjected to even rougher treatment at the hands of Raftery ' s chosen five, the final score reading 33 to 1 1, with the Generals on the long end. Richmond University furnished the op- position for the third game on the schedule and their defeat was accomplished only after a stiff contest from the start. Tlie final score stood 21 to 16, but the Generals were forced to extend themselves to register a win. The Generals displayed their first real flash of form and consistent teamwork in the following game against the Citadel, defeating the South Carolinians 29 to 15 in a spectacular victory. Hines being on the sick list, McDonald was shifted to fill his jjosition at center, while Stephens, wlio had returned to college, was placed at guard, the resultant combination working superbly. The crowd which filled the gymnasium to capacity was brought to its feet time and again by the phenomenal passing and dribbling of Stephens and the general play of the Generals. The game was never in doubt, and Harris and Thomas anticipated the passing of 228 Stephens to a nicety which accounted for a good number of baskets. The first trip of the year for the team came on January ' SOth, when V. P. I. took tlie measure of the Generals by a 25 to 9 score at Roanoke. The inahiiity of the Bhie and White to locate the baskets and the weakness of their foul sliooting was in the niain responsible for the loss of the contest. Hines ' ab.sence was ke Mily felt in regards to the foul shooting end of the frac;is, t hough Stephens and Stewart showed up well for Washi ngton and l cc. Bringing to lyCxington by far the best team which the (icTierals had met, the University of North Carolina downed the Blue and White by the close score of 2!) to 2.) after a hard-foughl coiitcsl. Although Davidson came up from the Tar Heel Slate de- termined to carry away a simihir s(al|)iug at tlic cx])cuse of the (jenerals, they went under to tlie refrain of .SI to ' 28, with tlic Iiduic quintet |)laying a steady brand of ball. On the Maryland invasion, Johns Hojjkiiis tcli victim to the(icnerals onslaiight and only succeed- ed in rolling up ' i.S ])oiuts against tlie ' irgiuiaus 2!). St. Johns, also hailing from the wilds of Maryland, journeyed to Washington and Lee next and forthwith journeyed back again with the sting of a 2.5 to 1(5 defeat going along with them. Trinity, carrying with them the distinction of having been undefeated all sea.son, and with glowing j)ress rejjorts preceding them, came next and they were overwhelmingly defeated 29 to 11. Wake Forest ottered liut little op|)osition for the (lenerals. The game was rough from the start and witii the score 25 to 14 against them, their Coach called his men from the floor. The entire second team was used by Coach Raftery in the second half and displayed a sujierior knowledge of the game from all angles. The final two games of the year resulted in defeats for the Generals. V. P. I. was met at Lynchburg in the second game of the year, and although the Blue and White left the floor at the close of the first period several points to the good, the Cadets came back with a strong offense and an uncanny ability to reach the hoops, two baskets in quick succession by Parrish clinching the contest for them. West Virginia was successful in wrestling the final game of the season from the Generals at Morgantown by a score of 32 to 21. The Varsity for 1921 was composed of Hines, who became ill at the start of the season and was incapacitated for a majority of the remainder; Bill Stephens, acting captain and sensational guard; McDonald, the rangy Arkansan, who starred in many of the games at his new position at center; Thomas, the plucky little forward whose aim was always accurate; Harris, Thomas capable running mate and a wizard at making difficult field goals, and Arbogast, the burly guard, who was a veritable mountain of defense, as well as a goal shooter of no mean ability. Stewart, Hall, Snively, Cameron, Yancey, Minnich and W. M. Stevens were members of a highly effi- cient squad ever ready to step in and capably substitute for any of the first string five.

The main weakness of the Blue and White men lay in the pitching staff. We had pitchers of ability but three of the four had their arms go back on them and the season for them was not as bright as in the past. The loss of .Jimmy Mattox shortly before the Northern trip upset the infield and although Monk filled .Jimmie ' s shoes in a creditable manner, his absence was felt keenly. With TyCobb hitting the pill for three triple baggers and Rill McCallum pitching superb ball the Generals won over Amherst in the opening battle by a one run margin. The next game with William and Mary resulted in a walk- away, the final score being 6- ' i. Trinity jjroved to be a stumbling block and we lost 4 to 1. Georgia won 10 to 7 in a loose game shortly afterwards. With McCallum in the box we won from Roanoke 3 to ' 2. The University of North Carolina next went down at the hands of the Gen- erals !) to 4. V. P. I. upset the dope by winning 8 to 2 at V _-_ — Blackshurg. The day following McCallum pitched another victory overCatholic University. Sammy Raines hitting along with Cobb and Collins accounted for our runs. The Navy won the next contest only after the Generals had given them a tight battle. The game with (ieorgetown was the worst of the season, the Washington team win- ning by an unusually big score. New York College was beaten the next day after the Army game was called off on account of rain, by a lopsided score. Returning to Lexington we won from Lincoln Memorial 14 to 13 in one of the oddest games of the year. The season ended with a decisive victory over ' . P. L 15 to ' 2. McCallum, winning all of his games easily was the best of the i)itching staff and great things are expected of him this year. The hitting of Pat Collins, captain-elect for this year, lead the team and his failure to return was a great disai)iK)intment to the followers of the team. How- ever the prospects are bright for a good season. 234 €AOfX n THE 1921 Calyx goes in the hands of the printers long before the final outcome of the Haseliail season can be ascertained. However this much is certain — Captain Pete Hisle will be leader of as clever a bunch of ball- I)layers as ever donned the Generals ' uniform. Of the old men. Monk Mattox, is back at the receiving end, with Johnnie Yalker and Bill McCallum ready and anxious to send them over. Ty Cobb, Pete Hi.sle, Curly Burke, Sanuny Raines, and Matt Handerson, all members of former teams — are the remainder of the monogram men ready for the announcement of the first Batteries for today ' s game. Pat Patterson has arranged a .schedule that would tax any team, and among the future victims (?) we notice V. P. I., Georgia Tech, Penn State and ' anderbilt holding jirominent places. Much promising material is out for the team and with Bill Raftery coaching again, the season ' s success is assured. The remainder of the program is up to the backing of the student body and it is a safe bet that no better could be found in the country. All said it appears to l)e a hard but successful spring season for the Generals ' baseball outfit. 23.5 CAOfX n II 4 ' : }- laBfball irli buk Yf March 31 — Penn State . Home Jl April 1— V. P. I. .

ISitsvmi Spring 1920 A LTHOUGH a resume of the track season for 1930-1921 must of necessity be - limited in its scope due to the fact that the Calyx goes to press before any of the spring meets are held, the showing already made this year by Washing- ton and Lee ' s wearers of the spiked shoes permits mention of the achievements accomplished to date by the Blue and White squad. Last spring, the team showed up to most excellent advantage in the South Atlantic Intercollegiate outdoor meet which was held at V. P. L in Mav. Though Virginia was successful in taking first honors in the number of points scored, Washington and Lee finished a close second, scoring a goodly number more points than her nearest rival, . P. 1. The team showed careful and consistent training and in each event which the Blue and Miite entered, they made a creditable impression. In the meet held here with Penn State, Washington and Lee succeeded in capturing all of the dashes but lost out in the distance runs. Thompson in the 100-yard dash, Thomas in the 2 ' 20 and Robbins in the 440 all breasted the tape ahead of their opponents, but Shields, bearing the Penn State Colors, showed bis heels to the field in the mile and two-mile runs. The final result gave Penn a 10-point lead over the Blue and White. Practice for positions on the Cross-country team began a week after the opening of school in September this year with 20 candidates reporting daily on Wilson Field for jogs across the surrounding countryside. With Coach Forest Fletcher to direct the men and lend them the benefits of his advice and coaching, the team soon began to whip into shape . Before holding any meet, against outside opposition, the existing record for the six-mile course here was broken by Captain Garard, as well as by Stevens in practice, each negotiating the distance well under all previous time. . triple meet with Princeton and Maryland State was cancelled owing to the last-minute inability of either of the two to come here for the contest. On November 15, the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Cross-country run was held at Charlottesville over a six-mile course with teams from the University of Virginia, Johns Hopkins, Maryland State and Washington and Lee competing. Due to the sterling work of Captain Garard, who finished second in the run, as well as Caldwell and Smith, who finished fourth and fifth in the run respectively, the Blue and White team was awarded second place in the meet, Virginia taking first place on her points. irginia ' s winning time was 34;48; while Garard, who came in second, made the six miles in 34:57. Running under i k Washington and Lees colors in the meet were, Captain Garard, Burch, Caldwell, Smith, Pass, Partlow, Stevens and Swope. The team ' s showing was not what it should have been inasmuch as the winning time for the race had been bettered by Garard here . in practice previously. Before this run, the team had trained to a fine point in Ajf I TA anticipation of two meets which were to have been held here but which failed to I rC T I materialize. Training was then slacked off for a period of two weeks, and taken up r r i again not long before the meet at Virginia, which did not allow the team to be in the best of condition as it had been all fall. The prospects for a Cross-country team for next year are exceptionally bright, with Stevens and Childs both returning to college. ¥ 240 TENNIS ■«■ CAILYX n n - D. C.

Baber 243 l pHump (Ffttma THE WiO Tennis season was a great success and remarkable for the fact that Washington and Lee, enteri ng only upon its second year in this sport, put forth a team which not only defeated every opponent, but lost only two individual matches in the four contests played. Every team met was defeated by such decisive scores as to leave no doubt of our superiority over any team in this section. The team composed of Burch, Cohn, Snively, Glick- stein, Jones, and Goldberg, and coached by Professor Williams, could have upheld its own in either doubles or singles against any Southern team. The men individually showed consistent form throughout the season, and too much credit cannot be given Mr. Williams for their success. The opening game with George Washington University was cancelled on account of rain. Johns Hopkins was met and defeated 5-1. Trinity, a team which had defeated several other colleges in its vicinity was the next victim by a similar score. The team then journeyed to Lynchburg, winning against Virginia Christian College with ease, 6-0. The match with V. P. I. the following day at Blacksburg was expected to be a severe test, as Graham, the V. P. I. captain, was the Virginia inter-collegiate champion. However, the W. and L. racqueteers were not forced to extend themselves, capturing the two matches played, the others being cancelled on account of rain. With three letter men, Burch, Snively, and Cohn returning, and much prom- ising new material, this year ' s team should have an even more successful season. W ' ith expected financial aid from the Athletic Council, trips are being planned to Washington, Baltimore, and other cities, and the team will have a chance to show its ability against very strong opponents. 244 CREW Captains; F.

Both races were fought hard throughout the course and ended with good spurts. The first race was beautiful to watch as the shells glided along side by side and the strong and powerful unison of the men made them shoot swiftly down the old North River. Albert Sidney took the lead at the start and held it until the last turn when the crews crowded and the judges agreed that no decision could be given. Much enthusiasm was shown in the nuitch between the two second crews, which pulled down the river in mighty quick time. In this race the Harry Lees got away with a good start and held the lead to the finish, winning over their rivals by a good three lengths. Admirers of the crews are looking forward with great expectations for the race this year which will decide the winner of last year ' s draw. Both crews are well represented with old men and the contest should be one of the best ever staged on the North River. ' 218 SWIMMING ' m CAILYX- n@@n J. W.

From the first, it was evident that there was no actual scarcity of promising material, although several of the men had not had previous experience in actual competition. From last year ' s team Captain Steer, Rushton, Thornburg and (Ireiner all returned and reported for practice, while among the new contenders for berths on the team who showed up to advantage in the early j)art of the season were Hart- ridge, Jenkins, Smith, Mercke, Hock, Benton, and Wiggins. With Coach Fletcher and Manager Dan Blain in charge each afternoon, practice sessions were held daily in the pool in preparation for the first meet of the year, which was with George Washington University on Saturday night, March 6th. The visitors brought to Washington and Lee a team which was a little beyond the expectations of the majority who filled the gallery of the tank in the antici- pation of witnessing the Blue and White register to win. George Washington was successful in capturing a substantial number of the events on the card, W. and L. winning the plunge, Rushton breaking the existing record by negotiating 57 feet, and the fancy diving, in which Smith was easily the winner over his opponent. A return meet has been .scheduled to be held at Washington on March ' JOth, the early date at which the C. lyx goes to press preventing an account of the outcome. ■252 ™STLING ' ' ' CAILYX n®,@]i R.

Potts ■■ CA ' lW ' X ' ENTERING upon our first year of Intercollegiate Wrestling, the Blue and AAhite team, coached by Ernest Brett, has shown up exceptionally well and is certainly deserving of loud praise for its record. The first call for candidates resulted in the wrestling room being swamped with men eager for tryouts. Coach Brett worked with the squad through the fall term and then cut the bunch down by elimination matches until he had a strong team formed and ready to meet any other club in this section. The first match with V. P. I. at Blacksburg resulted in a decisive victory for the Generals ' mat men by a 18 to 11 score. Washington and Lee won three events on falls and one on decision while the Tech won one eve nt on falls and two on de- cisions. IVIcGill threw his man in one minute and fifteen seconds, this bout being the shortest of the meet. Cothran won by decision and Sutherland threw his opponent, who outweighed him by 20 pounds in a short match. McGraw, as Tech ' s best man was selected to go against Potts in the unlimited class. Potts threw him in two minutes and fifty seconds. Following the victory over V. P. I. the team met defeat at the hands of the AA ' est Point mat men, the latter winning by 19 to 6 count. Sutherland won his bout on a decision and Potts again won over his man. Greater experience at the game was attributed to the defeat although the team put up a tough exhibition of wrestling and stayed with the victors until forced to take the count. The remaining meet with Davidson is expected to be an easy victory for the Generals ' squad. Coach Brett is to be congratulated on the excellent showing made by his team. He has worked hard with the men and credit for the record made should be given him. With the return of the entire team to school next year the Mat Team should be unusually strong and capable to meet any teams in the east. 256 CAiuifxl M ]is)@n FOREST FLETCHER, 1912 AMERK AN OLYMPIC TEAM, HEAD TRACK COACH E. li.

The walls of the room were made of block after block of polished ivory and they were sloped upward to form a perfect dome. From the very centre of the dome hung a crystal chandelier, the light of which seemed almost supernatural, with such an ineffable pink beauty did it gleam. Rich hangings of gold brocade attempted by their gorgeousness to eclipse the pristine glory of the walls. The floors were made of some sub- stance which glistened and .sparkled like a huge mirror. Hut the climax of the whole thing was the throne of .solid gold, so lightly and so grace- fully designed that it .seemed a poets song, caught and put into metal; and the occupant of the throne, the exquisite Princess. A dainty creature she was, with skin like rose petals, for smooth white soft beauty, lips of a startling cherry red. a flelicatc little nose, eyes, wide and innocent, of deep warm blue; black lashed, eye- brows lightly traced and a glorious profusion of golden curls, that in color just matched her royal throne. Looking at her one almost forgot the slender young Prince who was kneeling at her little feet, whose lips were pressing tenderly against her tiny hands. Yet — Wait; the Princess is about to speak! Her eyes darkened with some mysterious hidden emotion, her dainty red lips open — the Princess speaks; Why in Hell don ' t you make this fool shave, Mike O ' Sullivan, before you turn him aloose to come in here and mouth all over me; I have stood a lot from your old Artless Picture Co. but I am thru — contract or no contract.

Suddenly he halted and stood still: for immediately in front of him was Railroad ' Ruff ' s office — A clue! he ex- claimed out loud to himself. Indeed, a clue, for was not the renowned Railroad somewhat of a detective as well as a would-be lawyer. Where else would he be so likely to find e idence as in the office of an energetic Commonwealth Attorney. So nervous was lie at the realization that suc- cess stared him in the face, and, unlike most people, did not turn away and laugh, that our hero, H. O. Dold, the Egyptian mummy detec- tive, began to perspire freely from what he thought was the nervous strain he was under- going. Little did the great detective realize that the large beads of perspiration on his noble forehead were caused by his proximity to the exhaust pipe of the Lexington Steam Bakery. Then and there our hero cast his eyes upward and, as soon as they had come down, he observed the sky overhead was very blue: as is its custom. Nervously, for he had not yet fully recovered from his nervousness, he placed his hand in his pocket, drawing out a somber-colored handker- chief of green, red, and yellow; before he re- ' The L«;inigton police fore asleep in achair ' tie found his shadow. ' placefl the handkerchief he drew his hand out also, and blew his nose on it. On either side of him he noticed the roses twittering merrily in the tree tops and the spar- rows blooming luxuriously on every bush, while at the corner plainly visible to the, even the naked, and that is an unusual sight, eye was the Lexington Police Force asleep in a chair. Slowly he knelt down and began creeping across the street in his usual manner, on his hands and knees. There would be a great deal of dirt but he did this rather than wake the resting Police Force — for were they (beg pardon) — Was he not doing his duty. He was paid to arrest. As our hero coming closer to his goal neared the office of his suspicions a rapping sound was very dis- tinctly heard — Spirits he murmured dreamily — I hope so. For the detective had been very dry since July the first — and especially since the few people he was proud to call friends had started to hiding their highballs in low places with Yale locks on the doors. In truth it had been a long time since he had attended a Cellar- bration. Quickly he straightened up and leaned his tall form against a nearby post in a seemingly indifferent manner — then he casually began to stroll towards the inner room.

MINK S ttnrtal This is the Kditorial — You will be glad we told you before it is finished, for the author is not in the habit of authing Editorials; and you will soon realize that too. This Editorial is the funniest thing in this section of the Calyx no doubt; and yet, it is meant to be serious. We have modeled the Humorous Section of this book after the Mink, the new magazine of col- lege wit which has recently appeared on our campus; and personally we think it is far supe- rior to that magazine, and a whiz of a good advertisement for it. But we will leave that for you to judge. The Editors have worked far more on this than they have on their studies, as any of their professors will testify, and they consider that they were lucky to escape the Automatic. But all told it has been a great experience, for humor is the spice of life; and the men of Washington and I. e have stood behind us to the last, help- ing with their contributions of art and wit, just as they did when the call for humorists was made by the ilink in its youth, not many moons ago. We have tried to keep this section free from vulgarity and yet to have spice in it; we have tried to avoid old jokes, and we have attempted to give credit in our own way, to those men we considered worthy. Anything personal we hope will be taken in the spirit in which it was written, humorous. The ones we selected to bring be- fore the eye of the Student Body, and those who read this book, we hope will realize that we have selected them from a number, and will therefore appreciate the compliment paid them. Below are the names of the men who have made this section what it is — you are the judge — we hope you will like it. Dedicated tothc Bi Skunk €liitoc£( G. T. HOLBROOK M.

' Accordingly, he acted; hanging a handkerd chief around his jaw. and sticking his tongue in his teeth he foimd himself thoroughly disguised as a sufferer from toothache on a visit to a Dentist. Only after he had walked a block did it occur to him that there was no Dentist ' s Office in the building he had left.

H. 345 MINK •• ' •■ ■ ' ' ' ?!Ki ll fe There is a thf()r ' very prevalent on the cam- pus that the nomenclature of the Bullet, ' Bullet Joe, etc.. was derived from our sub- ject ' s justly renowned exploits on the football field. But this is not the case. Originally Joe had a much longer and much more distinguished nickname, but it was too long and fine for ordinary purposes, and like rye liquor, has been put aside for very special occasions. This title was ' The Boy Orator of the Kanawha. Those who have listened to Joe ' s bursts of eloquence in Joe Long s classes, or at a football rally, and that clarion call to his comrades on the football field, know how well he deserves it. But, as has been said, this nom-de-plume was too cumbersome. Another noticeable peculiarity of Joe ' s style was that his arguments were convincing no matter what their subject matter. He might casually remark ' 25-4 -38-.5. or words to that effect, and before his opponents had started to comprehend his meaning. Joe would be sitting under the goal posts. Or in speaking of love. etc.. he has been known to squelch a likely debate b,v remarking. Four Queens. Thus since his arguments sped home like a bullet, Joe Silverstein has become popularly known as Bullet Joe No man on the campus has a more deser e l place in the hearts of the student body than Joe. Those who have watched him on the football field know one reason, but not the only one. He has identified himself with a progressive athletic policy, and has had his shoulder to the wheel in many of the deserving campus activities. Above all, Joe is a prince of good fellows. . hearty word for one and all. an engaging frank- ness, and a willingness to put himself out for fellow students and. lma Mater have deservedly made Joe the campus leader that he is.

By the mutual consent of all parties the case had been submitted to the jury, open to their sole and solemn decree. . strair vote had been taken bv the jur.v and the.v unanimously declared that the case was well supported. A writ of error is assigned upon the ground that certain of the jury, after a review of the case, had so mis-conducted themselves as to be unable to declare upon the merits of the case. We, the supreme justices of the land, after a careful review of all the points of the case hold that the jur.vmen acted only as any normal, prudent man in FULL possession of his faculties nould have acted, and we find no error in the spirit of the decision.

She had assumed the sweet, innocent, unsophisticated air of a maid of sixteen who had never been kissed. But now I am aware of her vehement, varying, vicious, vampish and versatile character. So one dark and dreary night I left her sleeping the sleepy sleep of the sleepy. She was my wife, who with her wily and wicked ways had wrought mv ruin. J. B.

Here he stands as a rock in the wilderness, towering towards the heights like the Statue of Liberty enlightening the world, like — but why go on? Burtner says it is bad English to use mixed metaphors and similes. Way back in the grim, gray dawn of history a young man entered Washington and Lee and began to annex A ' s, rlegrees and things of gold cut in funny shapes. He admitted that he sometimes answered to the appellation of Mr. Burtner, and always has he gone by that name. The assortment of things dangling from his watch chain are not charms to keep away gout, sleeping sickness, etc., but honors conferred by a reverent Iniversity upon its prodigy. . ll freshmen are required to learn the name and meaning of each key which adorns the manly bosom of W. O. This accoimts for the mule kicking some for their infantile minds cannot absorb both lessons and this long list. However, let no prospective student be deterred from en- tering W. and L. by these lines for the subject of this history will collect another degree and will depart — it is hinted that he has a suite with private bath awaiting him in the Hall of Fame. In the first place, we commend him for his work as the executive head of the Student Body, where he has been far more than the average incumbent, for he has really had policies in his head and has carried them out. In the second place, he is not an imitation. He wears a wonder- ful assortment of keys, and the keys which he wears are for real recognition, not by the choice of a few selective social organizations, but all societies of real worth which recognize worth. (Con Passions) Oh, little flimsy thing whose love of light Obscures entire the innate dread of pain! Tell me if thou dost say at every flight, I will not go so near the flame again. And if thou dost, thou knowest well, I think. Thy very nature gives those words the lie, Tho ' narrow thy escapes from ruin ' s brink. Thou wilt return as long as thou canst fly. I revel in the light of true love ' s eyes. But flying close I feel the burning pain. Mine are alternate joys and woeful sighs That I ' ll not go so near the flame again. We two. O moth, are just alike, I think. E. B. J. Mink: He wears only broadcloth. Calyx: What is he, an undertaker. ' Mink: No, a fat man. 350 MINK Behold our nearest approach to a cosmopolite! If Bill were not trying to lasso Minerva in Texas, he was trying to sandbag her in Chicago, or kidnap her in Colorado. Having hunted the illusive lady in the rock-ribbed fastnesses of the Rockies, the sun-swept plains of the Rio Grande, or in the fetching fragrance of the stockyard, our young hero finally located her among the mountains of Virginia in the heart of the South. Here he laid a systematic siege to the stronghold of learning, resulting in much disaster to the besieged. flTien it comes to being a student Bill is there. We might entertain the reader with some of Bill ' s adventures before coming to W. and L. and mayhap give some explanation of why Bill sings so fervently, If you could only care, etc. but that wouldn ' t be fair. Seriously, though. Bill is a man who has made a unique record here. Not many men have had the distinction of making the Circle in two years. And every man in the student body was glad to see him get it. And then those of you who were wise enough to attend the Y meetings Sunday afternoons found a place filled with the essence of good-fellowship. Bill was behind it, pushing and arranging everything. But Bill ' s largest achievement and the one for which the student body thanks him most is his work with the Troubadours. Bill is an amateur actor of con- summate ability, but his work as executive head of the Troubadours is the position in which he has been of the greatest service to the University. It was no small thing that Bill was able to subdue the small jealousies of such an organization so that the members came through with a very successful season. Not to Bill alone is the credit for the Troubadours due, but a very good por- tion of it should be laid at his door.

We feel that the University should adapt itself to the changing world, so we keep our fingers on the pulse of the Nation, said one who is close to the powers that be, so finding a need, we have endea ored to supply it in this proposed course. This department will be known as The Department of Home Brewing and Distilling. There will be one lecture a week and twenty-one hours (.)f laboratory work. Due to the remarkably large endowment which has been subscribed by the alumni, it will be imnecessary to charge a laboratory fee. Professor to be annoumed later. TEXTBOOKS : Raisin on Fermentation. . ' !ol MINK 352 MINK You hear on the campus about busy men; sometimes you see men rushing around, ap- parently very busy, but Troak does not come under either classification. He is really busy. If he isn ' t writing a Troubadour play, he is attending a fireman ' s meeting; if he is not di- recting an orchestra, he is in consultation about matters of importance to the University; if he isn ' t fixing up records at the Court House, he is initiating somebody into one of the honorary societies at Washington and Lee. There may be some line of college activity that Troak is not in, but if there is, it has not been discovered. He has done everything from editing the Calyx to smoking cigarettes. Troak ' s career in the Academic School was similar to his present work in every line. Troak is the tj pe of man who makes Washing- ton and Lee what it ought to be. He has given without stint of his time and service and has been activelj ' identified with the movements which have helped the L ' niversity. His campus honors, and he has them all. ne er went to a man more deserving. jFrcstjman Classes; A Freshman came to V. and L., at the begin- ning of the term and when inquiry was made as to where he was going lo stay he replied: 1 ain ' t got no place yet.

Soon he was at MeCrums, and he found that by removing his tongue from his teeth he could whisper into Bob Funkhouser ' s ear the name of the dope he craved. Bobby understood, and after recei -ing the necessary coin, plus war tax, gave him a check, allowing him to imbibe through a greased and waxed paper cylinder the desired stimulant. Mien our hero had finished his Coca Cola he felt much more refreshed and equal to the task before him. So he repeated his actions leading to his arrival at the Drug Store: except, re- membering he had stuck his tongue in the right cheek coming, it must naturally be in the left one going back, so as to be consistent. Indeed, our hero was not to be caught napping by a mere detail like that. Next, we find the great detective returning to his post, the same upon which he had formerly leaned his form. And, having an intuition that his clue was still in the nearby room — an in- tuition strengthened by the incessant murmur and repeated tappings — he curled his six foot three form and dozed away on a footstool. Detective Dold possessed a very imaginative mind, and even while sleeping, our hero gave birth to thoughts, ideas, and inventions, which would do justice to Edison, Burroughs, Ford, or the inventor of the Automatic Rule of W. L. Among these ideas were the following; The placing on the market of overcoats to be worn under the vest, fountainless fountain pens, doughnuts without holes, spiritual shoes (ones with departed souls), bristleless hair brushes (for bald men), bureau drawers to be worn in Holland (to match the wooden shoes), and im- mortal cough tirops to keep one from coffin. The longer he slept the more brilliant became his ideas, and he had just planned a letter to the Blase Motion Picture Company, suggesting featuring a Hawaiian girl in a Shredded ' heat Costume in some of the latest Postum Cereals. Our hero was also working on an idea to prevent sea-sickness, which he expected to suggest to the Side Line Steamship Company, -iz., the serving of nothing but lightbread on any of their ships, and thus minimize to a great extent the rolls on the ocean. Suddenly he was aroused by the sound of an explosion! Jumping up and then down again to enable him to move more swiftly, our brave hero was about to run (for help) when a figure grabbed him, and an apologetic voice said Sorry to disturb you, but the cork blew out of the bottle of Home Brew we were examining as e ndence in a liquor case, and since there is very little evidence left in the case, I would suggest that you come in and help us test it. Our great detective whose motto was down with liquor entered the room, and was introduced to all the gentlemen present including some members of the Committee on Social Functions and our Registrar, and then preceded to busi- ness, proving to all that his motto was well selected. During this time the host was pacing back and forth, nervously watching his private stock disappear, all the while tapping on the floor with a light walking cane. The rest is self-explana- tory. Need we continue. Our hero has solved the mvsterv. Finis M. B.

It is true that tlie staff have worked and worked hard for a best Calyx, and yet only a mediocre book at best would have resulted were it not for the help, and contributions from those on the outside. To White Studio we offer our sincere thanks for their co-operation and especially for the quality of the work done this year. We wish to thank the Editor and Mana- ger of the Riny-tum Phi for their courtesy and help in giving publicity to the Annual. The Beauty Section, herein designated as the ' arsity Vamps owes its charm to the young ladies who so kindly submitted their photograjjhs to beautify the section. We wish to thank them. The Troubadours worked up their own jjresentation and in that way gave great a.ssistance to the Editor in making that part of the book attractive. Perhaps the greatest contribution to this year ' s Annual, and that which in the mind of the Editor deserves the most credit is the art work submitted by Mr. Clifford Boyd Hartley, of Chattanooga, Tenn. Mr. Hartley was a student at Washington and Lee in the year 1917-18. Since that time he has devoted his time to Commercial Art. To him are the color plates in this ( L i ' x due. We wish to thank Mr. X. J. Waugh and Mr. L. H. Browder of Danville for the Class plates which they very kindly furnished. To Messers. Hartley, Waugh, and Browder, should go the credit for practically all the art work in the book. Finally we wish to express our appreciation to the firm of Baker, Jones, Hau- sauer. Inc., of Buffalo, X. Y., the producers of this book, for their unfailing courtesy, timely aid and suggestions, and co-o])eration at all times for whatever of merit our readers may discover in this annual.

The aim of the Editors and all connected with the Annual this year has been to produce a first class representative publication for the students of Washington and Lee L ' niversity; to present nothing which may mar the fair name of our Alma Mater: to furnish the best advertisement to the world at large for the University; and to leave behind a book of memories which shall always be a joy in after years. 362 nf Let- on TraN-el.- (;p;nkral lees home Ndw the Residence of the President of Washington and Lee University 364 General Lee ' s Office as Preserved in the Lee Memorial ( Impel na.sn Lee as President of Washington College Lee ' s Tomb, Tlie Shrine of the South 3G6 CAILYX n n all)p iFimrral of ICpp ©clobcr 10. 1870 When the future historian comes to survey the character of General Robert E. Lee, he will find it rising like a huge mountain above the undulating plain of humanity and he will have to lift his eyes toward heaven to catch its summit. He was a foe without hate, A friend without reproach, A Christian without hyprocrisy, A man without guile. He was a Caesar without his ambition. A Frederick without his tyranny, A Napoleon without his selfishness, A Washington without his reward. He was as obedient to authority as a servant and royal in authority as a true king. He was as gentle as a woman in his life, modest and pure as a virgin in thought, watchful as a Roman vestal in duty, submissive to law as Socrates, and grand in battle as .Vchilles.

Whose melody has lingered, liquid low — Whose sweetness with the years grows ever strong; Like glory of some rare old painting ' s glow. On which the tints and tones of age belong — And bloom in mellow richness, sure and long. Where Time ' s strange witchery bids beauty blow; Like precious joy we feel, when in the night The fragrance falling from a simple flower. Or odor stolen from a hidden bower. Recalls the dream of some sweet, past delight; So the years with happy memories dower Our college days, and with our failing sight. In Memory ' s heart of hearts they bring more light Than all the newer joys that on us shower. G. T. H. 868 K ,.i R ' C-.

Weinberg L. G. Sheridan ROCKBRIDGE STEAM LAUNDRY SEND US YOUR WORK 377 What Is Research? SUPPOSE that a stove burns too much coal for the amount of heat that it radiates. The manufacturer hires a man famihar with the principles of combus- tion and heat radiation to make experiments which will indicate desirable changes in design. The stove selected as the most efficient is the result of research. Suppose that you want to make a ruby in a factory — not a mere imitation, but a real ruby, indistinguishable by any chemical or physical test from the natural stone. You begin by analyzing rubies chemically and physically. Then you try to make rubies just as nature did, with the same chemicals and under similar conditions. Your rubies are the result of research — research of a different type from that required to improve the stove. Suppose, as you melted up your chemicals to produce rubies and experimented with high temperatures, you began to wonder how hot the earth must have been millions of years ago when rubies were first crystallized, and what were the forces at play that made this planet what it is. You begin an investigation that leads you far from rubies and causes you to formulate theories to explain how the earth, and, for that matter, how the whole solar system was created. That would be research of a still different type — pioneering into the unknown to satisfy an insatiable curiosity. Research of all three types is conducted in the Laboratories of the General Electric Company. But it is the third type of research — pioneer ing into the unknown — that means most, in the long run, even though it is undertaken with no practical benefit in view. At the present time, for example, the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company are exploring matter with X-rays in order to discover not only how the atoms in different substances are arranged but how the atoms themselves are built up. The more you know about a substance, the more you can do with it. Some day this X-ray work will enable scientists to answer more definitely than they can now the question: Why is iron magnetic? And then the electrical industry will take a great step forward, and more real progress will be made in five years than can be made in a century of experimenting with existing electrical apparatus. You can add wings and stories to an old house. But to build a new house, you must begin with the foundation. Geim General Offic _ Electoic ©SUpSllIiy Schenectady. N.Y. 378 New Lunch Room A. C.
