fgpvf. cg W.. .1 .-. . --- ft., 9I'LliOI'S THOMAS GUNTER SMITH Gunter was at Webb only two years but in that time he established for himself a reputation for be- ing a very industrious student by participating in a Wide variety of extra curriculum activity as well as being of the Honor Roll almost every month. An attractive personality and such accomplishments as winning every debate during his Hrst year won him the position of President of the Hamilton De- bating Society and similar feats plus the same per- sonality have won this representative of the Southern Metropolis of Atlanta, Georgia che admiration of the complete student body. Gunter plans to attend Georgia Tech where he will study engineering. msunm Saw Wu- 7?w?9kf Football, 3, 45 Baseball, 3, 45 Track, 45 Gym Sports, 35 All- Webb Football, 45 Hamilton Society, 3, 45 Oracle, 3, 45 SAWNEY, 45 Honor Committee, 45 Oratorical Contest, 4.

Ab is a three-year man, and is one of the most popular boys in school. Not only does Ab deserve mention as an athlete, but also as a student. His grades have always been excellent, and it is a rare Honor Roll that does not have Ab's name on it. Ab's good sense of humor and ready wit have been major assets to his classmates. His ability to win friends will enable him to rise to a high posi- tion in anything he undertakes. Ab plans to become an engineer, and will pursue this course at Georgia Tech. ,'! k s

Upon arriving we were surprised to see the construction of the new Big Room which was well on its way to completion. All the old glory was not gone since we spent the irst semester in the old classrooms with pot-bellied stoves. Also our irst year was spent under the honorable principal- ship of Mr. W. R. Webb who taught us many things which have been very beneficial to us. This year was broken by two trips we made to Nashville. The first being the football trip to see Vanderbilt play. The second was at night to see Quo Vadis. This was the time when all of us were taking Latin and Mr. Bob Webb thought it helpful to see the picture. At commencement of our Freshman year we left with the glorious memories of that year tucked in our minds and anxiously waiting the forthcoming year with great anticipations. The Sophomore year was fuller than the Freshman year with a more closely knit friendship in the class. Frierson did well in football while Holmes, Mutphey, Graham, and Ferguson did equally as well. Frierson again distinguished himself by being elected Mid-Term Debater of the Platonic Debating Society, Lewis Holmes kept up his all A's with untiring regularity and Bass, Braund, Gilliam, Graham and Murphey also made the Honor Roll. Mr. Bass also showed his skill by being in charge of the laboratory. The Junior year saw Ferguson, Frierson, Murphey, Graham, and Braund out for football. It seems that they must have added something since the Juniors whipped the Seniors. In basketball Holmes, Graham, and Murphey proved themselves beneicial to their teams. Again Albert Frierson was chosen Mid-Term debater for the Platonic Society and showed great promise by winning the debate by a unanimous decision. At commencement Holmes and Braund were honored by being chosen members to the newly formed Cum Laude Society. Also there was a change in the buildings and grounds of that year. The dormitories had been cleaned and painted and the debating rooms had been painted. A newly made recreation room had also been added for our benefit. The Senior year has been our most enjoyable although by far not our easiest year. It undoubtedly passed with the swift- ness of the preceding years and then some. Frierson was elected captain of the Bulldogs and showed great leadership in spurring his team on to victory in the Thanksgiving game. Murphey, Ferguson, and Braund also were on the teams. In basketball Graham, Holmes, Ferguson and Braund were all in A League. It was natural that with all the skill that Albert Frierson had shown to be elected Final Debater. Claverie for the past two years had shown his patience by being in the projection booth. Gilliam, as in the previous year, was in the play. Rudder was the star and deserves much commendation for his hard work and marvelous acting. As commencement is here and we are departing, we cast a forlorn glance back through the page of our Webb School career and recount the many hardships and happiness we have known. Page 27
