And the original Butthead sneaked into our midst. Charlie was the least of rats-quiet, obedient, cheerful, always willing to do an Old Boy's bid- ding. This unusual state of affairs made him very popular with the Old Boys during his rat year. Since then this popularity has been steadily climbing. Charlie is able without much effort to excel in his academics. It is a very fortun- ate thing that he has this abilityg otherwise, we don't know how he would get his daily letter to Mt. Airy Written. Indeed, he spends a great portion of his time com- posing these masterpieces. Charlie has a good scholastic standing, as is shown by the consistent appearance of his name on the Honorable Mention List. Bristles further distinguishes himself along artistic lines, as can be seen by the number of his drawings in this book. In appreciation of his unusual literary talent, Charlie was made an Associate Editor of the Oracle. During the indoor season, Chick was seen to have good prospects of becoming a valuable Track man, but, being a swimmer of some note, he was compelled to aban- don the Track for fear of straining an already overburdened heart. We do not doubt that he would have been a great asset to the team had he been able to remain on the squad. During his stay at Woodberry, Charlie has made close friends and we hate to see him leave. He Will continue his studies at the University of North Carolina next year, and we know he will succeed in the future as he has in the past. 20 - -'5 k j 2 1 1 1. -1 1,AL1 ei rx 1 ,ill if if- 'P' 5 f 'rt ,f 5 5 CHARLES NORWOOD BAKER WASHINGTON, D.

Hi: greatnef: lie: in hi: unatruming :impli- city, and modesty in thought, word, and actionf, Charles Baker's remarkable resemblance to the Headmaster has by no means been the only factor in his thoroughly successful career at Woodberry. His strong character and sound judgment have always been so manifest that he received the appointment of Senior Prefect, not as a compromise candidate but as the endorsed choice of both the Faculty and the Prefect Board. Without any of the glamorous and inane personality which an athletic career might have brought him, Nip has on every occasion been popular With the school's plebeians as Well as with its cognoscenti. He was elected Treasurer of the G. A. A., defeating a group of clamorous athletic idols, and shortly afterwards polled the larg- est number of votes for the respected position of a Chapel Councilman. flint be has achieved quite as much of which ff .L -ffl' the majority of the boys will never become aware as he has done before the public eyej.

It has become nothing uncommon to roam about the spacious halls of Wood- berry and see a cross between an alligator and a sand shark amble towards you. It may have startled some, but the inmates soon became accustomed to it, and found out that it was only our harmless little Billy. Bill came to us from Duval High School Where he left behind him an enviable record. He immediately distinguished himselfon Woodberry's Championship Foot- ball team because of his weight, ability, and knowledge of' the game. He was also prominent in Track and was a material aid to the team in the Weights. However, his ability did not stop with athletics. He was an exceptionally bril- liant student, leading his class in general average several times during the year, and making the Honor Roll every - - month. Aside from the material things, Bar has made him- self very popular and well liked among the boys and mas- ters. Being from the sunshine State he has a Warm heart and is always cheerful. Bill,' leaves us next year to go to Princeton. After his brilliant career at Duval and Wood- berry, we feel certain that success will follow him through- out college. Bar's stay at Woodberry has been rather short. and consequently we feel that he has not had a chance to show more of his qualities. It is quite obvious that he would have been one of the foremost boys in the school in both athletics and studies had he come here a few years sooner and stayed with us longer. 22 Football W,,' '25g Track Squad, '26,' Bar- --' 3 K - Z...- i l Q ,f 3 'S in - W 5. 3 t V .. at ,,, -.'t,.,.-W-,.,' ,4:' ,gg 4.,. ,:..,s-a.'w-ww-ft: M at .',- ,,,, .V . 1 i . .. ,Q if aa f : . ff. ,, waivf' 'Lh' RICHARDSON DALE BEARD ROCKVILLE, MD.

Faith,jidelity, truth, and honesty are the rock: on which hi: character is built. When Fanny first made his appearance at Ye Olde Foreste Schoole, tive years ago, none would have realized that within a short period of time this boy would carve for himself a lasting niche in Woodberry's hall of fame. Such, however, has been the case with Dale. From the very first he took an active part in all school activities. In the athletic world he has been an earnest worker. and just as he was about to reach his goal, his old jinx popped up in the form of a bad knee. Although kept out of all sports last year, and football this fall, Dale came through in great shape in basketball and received the coveted W for his superfine playing. Fanny was a real guard from way back yonder and was making a strong bid for All- - - State honors when he hurt his bad knee in the middle ofthe season. Dale is also a baseball player of repute and will probably be a bright light on the squad if not on the team this spring. He is not only prominent in athletics but is also one of the leaders in school life, clearly shown by his choice as president of this year's graduating class. Dale has also been honored with positions on the G. A. A. Board and Chapel Council, as Well as many other orlices. But now comes the sad part of the tale. To think of having to lose this vivid personality which has so endeared itself to every member of the school, is indeed deplorableg but certain' things cannot be helped. Dale is going to Vir- X ginia next year Where We are sure he will make a name for himself and bring unlimited glory to his school. We wish you the best of luck, Dale, old boy. Z3 H eil-X Q .- : X W KI : : I - ,, ,.,,, GEORGE LANDON BROWNING OMNGE, VA. Landon FOUR YEARS He liver not in himfebf, but he become: a por- tion of that around him. Ever since Landon came to Woodberry, four long years ago, he has held a high place in the esteem of everyone. His abiding cheerfulness, characteristic since birth, has made him welcome to all his associates and shows us the good-natured fellow who never made his way in the world without some degree of success. Although Landon has not, as a rule, excelled in his studies, he has done mighty well through his four sessions here, and in addition has starred in Junior League Foot- ball, Basketball, and Baseball for the last two years. Since he has been a day scholar, his forced absence from the school has slightly estranged him from the majority of the boys, but though we know him not as well as several of his closer friends, we all respect him for his si- lence, his modesty, and his generosity. The latter is another ,, u. - , W l ' ,Z I of Landonfs characteristic traits, and he is always willing , 4 and eager to load his Ford to the rafters,' with boys who I ' ' want to go to town after school in the afternoon. i . . ' . Landon is either going to the University of Virginia or 'TY V. M. I., next year-as yet he has not definitely decided.

Whoever lover true love will live true life. Five years it has been, and all of them put to good use. Nothing has slipped by in which this Horse-of-all trades has not had a part. The Fall of'24 found him playing an astral end on the Varsity. The next year inspired by the sedan in the side-lines, which was decorated with many vivacious Orange Blossoms, he did more than his share to bring the State Championship to his Alma Mater. Speaking of Track: there is no event which our Horsie left unpunisbed. In one of the Field days he won the mile race and has placed in several meets in the pole vault, broad jump, javelin, and 440. He is the utility man of the Track squad. I-Iorsel' has also been on the basketball squad for the past two years, and has made a valuable substitute. Charlie took a big part in school activities this year and holds quite a number of important positions. His appointment to the Board of Prefects as Well as his election to the Chapel Council and the G. A. A. Board show that by popular choice he has been acclaimed as a student leader. We must not fail to mention his vocal organisms which have received special attention in Mrs. Walker's choir. He is rated along with Caruso and Frank Dunn. He has not decided as yet Where life will lead him, but wherever he goes We are sure that success Will always accompany him, and to that inevitable success We all add best Wishes from the bottom of our hearts. 25 : Q Y ' Y 8 W Y Y I- E JOSEPH RUSSELL COMPTON VICKSBURG, Miss. 31063, llHapP:v,, Two YEARS Smoking Club, '26,- German Club, '25, '26. The wiffst man is this one who doe: not think that he is ro. Even though Joe has been with us for only two years, he leaves behind him a sorrowing host of friends. Among the many boys who depart from us thisyear, Joe, will be missed more than the general run, due in all probability to his cheerful smile, good nature, and ever-ready willingness to help his fellows. He is one ofthe few representatives from the State of Ole lVliss,,' and he has succeeded very well in informing us that there is such a State. In the first month of his sojourn he demonstrated how to average Honor Roll with no effort at all. Since then his name has appeared either amongst the select 40OU or on the Honorable Nlention list, every month. His light Weight did not permit a place on any ofthe Varsity squads, but he has struggled valiantly and success- fully on all the Junior teams, especially in basketball. Yes, here it is-we simply could not keep the secret to ourselves- Joe is a dyed-in-the-wool sheikl He claims that his heart has not yet been captured, but we are in- clined to disbelieve him. Every day his smiling face can be seen over a letter, but his multifarious epistles are not all from the same fair damsel. Vicksburg cannot forget him any more than we. Joey has decided to enter the University of Virginia next fall, and we are quite confident that he will succeed there as he has at VVoodberry. The best wishes of all ofus go with you, Joe , and we wish you all the luck in the World. 26 l 1' 3 x I 1 M. :tiff 1 f-1.9 'f-f:ffv+'wJw.'W' 'elwveww -r f-'fa 'wr' fswwsa- ,Q ,, M-sms 1 mf--1-'f W .s-- -ff f rg: -'g fa x E:--: : ..-2:,2:' I ii law E. .1- - 1,1L1 .-,,--, DAVID JENKINS CRAIG STATESVILLE, N.

This boy is none other than Dave Craig, who has since earned the well-merited reputation of being the most cheerful boy in school. Quite frequently, Dave may be found at his unexcelled art of razzing some of his friends over new nicknames which he originates. It has been rumored about that Davey is all wrapped in someone at Stuart Hall. Quite often,the name Moon Face is heard when he thinks out loud. Dave not only holds sway amongst the ladies but as a math stu- dent he is the pride of Mr. John's solid,'.class. Dave is one of the mainstays this year on the hurl- ing staff of our Baseball team. Let us hope that he will prove to be another Carl Yowell. This year, Dave has become one of the leaders of our school community, holding the high position of President ofthe Hop Committee, which represents one ofthe school's most popular clubs. And then his presence on the Prefect Board makes him a leader in student government. Next year, Dave plans to enter college in his native State.

FRANK STORY CUTCHIN FRANKLIN, VA. llSt07y33 ONE YEAR Ornament of a meek and quiet fpiritf' This brilliant young man made his appearance at Woodberry at the beginning of this school year, hailing from an obscure town in Virginia known as Franklin. His name soon began to appear in the rank and file of good scholars, as he proved to be a hard-working and energetic student. Although appearing to be somewhat quiet, at Hrst, his quietness became recognized as that of one who knows his own business best. However, he is an ardent listener to the rounds of school gossip and believes that a wise man is known by his august silence and a fool by his loquacityf' Story is a strong follower ofthe deadest language known-Latin, of course- and he may often be seen sitting in his easy chair reveling in the solution of that enigma. Nor does his taste run only to dead languages, either, for he is an enthusiastic would-be French linguist, and, it is said, carries on private conversations with him- self in that tongue. i Story', leaves us to go to Virginia, where we all feel 3 sure he will make an enviable record which will give Wood- i berry the satisfaction of knowing that it had a share in his i ante-college preparation. Although he leaves us, we will remember for a long time this quiet and intellectual friend. ' 28 feet Board, '26, ,Memorial Committee, '26, G Q MORRISON WENCESLAUS DIVINE, JR. WILMINGTON, N. C.

Then did :he lift her handr unto hir chin And praired the pretty climpling of his Jleinf' When Woodberry opened for its school term of 1923, there arrived from Caro- lina a rat Who, at first quiet and timid, has now risen to be one of the most popular boys in school. From the very beginning, he has Worked hard in both studies and athletics. Last year, Old Man Luck turned against Morrison in the form of sickness, to keep him from Winning his W in Track. After Working his Way up to the position of one of our foremost half-milers, he was forced to miss both the State and Quad- rangular meets because of illness. This year he has been showing fine form, and Woodber1'y is counting on him to bring home many points. Turtle is also a member of the Prefect Board, which is one of the highest honors in school. He has shown him- self to have great initiative and a lovable disposition in the execution of his arduous duties. It has been said that he who counts on luck alone will in the end crumple like a divided house built on sand, but he who strives for the pure joy of Working, who puts forth his utmost effort for the bettering of mind and body, will be as strong as the dwelling erected on a rock foundation. When We read the latter part of this quotation, We think of Morry, and We know that he has grasped the opportunity of being the master of his fate, the captain of his soul. Next year, Woodberry will mourn the loss of this lika- ble personality, but We know that North Carolina will be more than pleased at this brick of gold she will receive. Good luck, Morrison! 29 '-1 1.4L LD D y JULIAN BAKER FENNER TARBORO, N.

What he haf, he u,rf.v,' and what he don, ite doef with all hir mlghtf, Julian, who hails from Tarboro, N. C., arrived at Woodberry in the Fall of '23, During the three years that he has been in our midst he has made for himself an enviable record in both studies and school activities. This year he was chosen to be a Prefect, and no better choice could have been made, as Bake is a boy of high ideals and exceptional personality. Julian is one ofthe school's foremost athletes, having Won, this year, the coveted honor of being a member of three major sport teams. In Football he was a steady and dependable endg in Basketball he was a fighting forward who scrapped from the first tip-olii until the final Whistle: and in Baseball he was a real third-sacker in every sense ofthe word. He may Well be ranked as one ofthe most popular and influential boys at Woodberry, not only because of his eminence in athletics but also because of his pleasant and attractive demeanor which endears him to all. We are informed that North Carolina will be the lucky university to claim him next fall, because Julian is planning to enter there for futher erudition. We are sure that in a few years he will have had the honorofdonning the Blue and White in more than one field ofsport, and that at the same time some forms of student government will be honored with his services. We all Wish him the best of luck and are confident that he will more than fulfill these idle prophecies. 30 Football PV, '25,' Football Squad, '23, '24, 3 ,24, '25,- Prefer!

Gold if a living god, and ruler in :corn all earthly thingy but virtue. Tomy has been one of the singularly rare boys who has taken full advantage of school life, absorbing all the essentials of its spirit, yet the While retaining ideas which refuse to become stenciled, and a personality persistently individual. Matriculating at Woodberry in 1924, he immediately proved that he was one of those line boyswho could quickly adjust himself' to novel surroundings, and by steady application to his studies gained admission to the learned group of the Honorable Mention List, an esoteric circle which enjoyed his company but little, proving only a foot-hill to the Parnassian Honor Roll, where he has since spent most of his time. Quite naturally, Torn's endeavors have had more than a class-room ceiling as their limit. His first year, he made the Baseball squad and ' ' was a first-line substitute for left field. This season, he seems to have finally hit his stride, and it is practically cer- tain that he wlll take his place on the Varsity this spring. Tom, always fond of impressing people when he can and deluding them when he cannot, has made splendid use of his amiable artince by taking important parts in the Dramatic Club productions, in which he demonstrated such excellent mob psychology and showed such a fine con- ception of' his part, that Mr. Baker, the Dramatic Club qoach, when not too enraptured, was wont to bawl with g ee. Next year, ifbe can tear himself away from his beloved l smoking room, Tom', intends to re-pursue his studies at i the University of North Carolina where, needless to say, l . We hope he will parallel his success at Woodberry. 31 : X L -1 1 i 1. i . 1 --- ' g,yg,y,1 ' A ,,,,if.5f-'y - ww M I-1 71, J ,,. 1 l .,. ,a Y. -.ffwfa,,v- ,mf,a.m.,.:ae'Q.se,i.ase.e.a,vef'.s+13K?sa -fm, JOHN WASHINGTON GRAHAM EDENTON, N.

Although this is -lohn's first year at Woodberry, he has rapidly succeeded in winning a permanent place in the hearts of all of us. The fact that he is a new boy has practically precluded him from holding any elective ollices, but in the short time he has been here, he has alforded us a most favorable and highly satisfactory insight into his character. Johnny is a very quiet and unassuming boy and keeps his thoughts, for the most part, to himself. He is a conscientious worker, both in studies and athletics, and his dogged pertinacity has been much in evidence in both of these branches of school activities. Though Johnny had never played a game of foot- ball in his life before he came to Woodberry, he entered into l the sport with characteristic vim and vigorg consequently, his improvement was rapid, and his choice for All-Junior guard at the end of the season was Well merited. In studies, John has done remarkably Well, and his name has become the counterpart of the handwriting on the Wall on the Honorable Mention list-it just Won't stay off! The University of North Carolina will claim John next September. In college life, or in the greater World beyond, We Wish you luck, -Iohnnyf, and if you continue there as you have started here, Woodberry will have just cause and pride in claiming you as one of her own alumni. 32 M 1 - 2 GORDON GRAY WINSTON-SALEM, N.

In every phase of school life he has taken an active part, and has proven a real leader in all his undertakings. During the tive years which he has spent at Woodberry with such great credit to his school and to himself, he has allowed no detail of his school-life to be neglected. Not once since his arrival at school in 1921 has he V averaged under 902, in his studies! Truly a great record to leave behind, and a record to Which his teachers and asso- ciates may point with pride in years to come. He proved this Winter, by his grit and ability, that he could play real Basketball, and for his excellent work at guard on the quintet this year, was one of the six to receive his W at the close of the season. There is not enough room on this page to tell more of his activities and accomplishments, so as We close, let us all join in wishing this typical Woodberry boy all grades of success in his future life. He plans next year to matriculate at the University of North Carolina, and even though We know much they'll benefit by his advent, We think of what the loss will be to his Alma Mater whom he has served so . . faithfully throughout the years. 33 f-X ii- , gi - ii 9 Q L ly Qfr e FIR w gg g JOHN WILSON HAMP STAUNTON, VA.

It would be impossible to do justice to so interest- ing a subject in so inadequate a space. Johnny is a diflicult subject. He inspires candor and exults in vituperation-neither of which has proved visibly effectual. No one knows John Hamp except his inferiors-and they adore him. And John Hamp has a mind! He has proved it during his casual three years, struggle with marks. The numbers after his name have usually been large ones-large enough to please the Faculty. His contribution to athletics has been small but promising. He has played Junior Football, Junior Basketball, and Junior Baseball. His determination has been invaluable in building up a remarkable competitive spirit in such a non- sturdy body, and we feel sure that this same determination will bring success in later life. And Tommy likes ladies, too-but we will not go into that. This, then,is john Hamp. Somewhat of a mystic, you will remark. Decidedly will we answer a mystic, for has such matter been a mystery to man. Ar last, John, the time has come for you to bestow that amiable smile upon us and take your departure. There are many places here where you will be missed, and we will miss you in a way which we cannot tell you about. Remember that we wait to hear the verdict when you reach the world without. lt is time for you to smile and go. Good-bye and j good luck. . - 34 , lg F ,1 ' WILLIAM ROBERSON HILL GREENSBORO, N.

Man of the World Cfor .such wouldnt thou be calledj And art thou proud of that iugloriouf rtylef' When we say that Dippy Hill will certainly be missed when Woodberry com- mences another session next fall, we do not say it simply to fill superfluous space, we have stated a true fact. Bill's life here has not been one of those brilliant periods bedazzled throughout with athletic and scholastic achievements which will make certain fellows memorable, but he will be remembered just the same, and for this reason: Young Dippy is one of those individuals who are indispensable. to every school. There must always be the person who is willing to be the promising scrub on the Basketball squad, the hardworking member of the Baseball squad, or who will play minor roles in the Dramatic Club and, incidentally, play them so well that they are decided hits. And, too, there must be 111- people who withal can radiate such a spirit of cheerfulness about them as to make it contagious. That is Bill Hill. Whoever has had him for a companion, has had a good companion, whoever has had him for a friend, will always have a sincere friend. Nor must we omit that the gift of Dippy, which this year has come to light and served him a good stead. It is his cheer-leading, for which position he seems peculiarly adapted. As one of the three Cheer Leaders this year, he has demonstrated that he knows as much about infusing pep as he does about cheerfulness, and he has made Wood- berry a mighty fine rah! rah! boy! It would be useless for us to predict anything other than a very happy future for Bill-at least, that is what everybody is wishing him. 35 g?Eg2Zl5 HOWARD WARREN HOUGHTON, JR. CHARLESTON, S. C.

Although handicapped somewhat by being a lightweight, Chink has done everything in his power to become a good athlete. But we don't judge a man by his physical strength alone. Chink's mentality makes up for his deficiency in weight. His First year was not as successful as those which followed, but we attribute that to the fear and awe he had of the Prefects, as all good rats should have. Afterwards, however, he made a successful record in scholastic work and has established a name,for himself in that respect- Not bad, nor excellent, but good enough to ass. p Chink has taken an active part in school activities for the past half decade. As member incorporate of the renowned Smoking Club, he has warmed the room with his combined mixture oftobacco - f f '- smoke and good-natured smiles eversince he was bigenough to climb upon the tables! His lovable disposition, always so cheery, bright, and friendly, has endeared him to his associates, and it is with a feeling of real sorrow that we realize he is leaving us this ear. Y His future days at college will be Spent either at the University of Virginia or that of North Carolina, and we know that at either college he will meet with the good will and friendship which he has found in his schooldays here. And let them call him as he has been called at Woodbe1'1'y, just an all-round good fellow. 36 IJL Q' a ge WILLIAM LANIER HUNT GREENSBORO, N. C.

Only three years Willie has spent with us. but in that time he has established for himself a permanent place in the hearts of his fellow companions. Willie was, is, and probably always will be, effeminate, but that is no sin to be held against any man, and Billy makes up for his lack of he-man mannerisms by making a good job out of all his undertakings. For three years, he has worked faithfully and conscientiously as a member ofthe Dramatic Club. On and of the stage he acts the same, and his flawless interpreta- tions ofdiflicult roles prophesies even greater ability and development in the years to come. As leader of the Choir, he has filled his position credit- - - ably, and the marked improvement in this year's band of choristers is due in large part to his valuable criticisms and instructions. Billy is kind, generous, and unselfish. He is ready to help others any time, any place, anywhere, and this quality of gentility has ennobled him in the minds and hearts of his many friends. We are sorry to have to tell you good-bye, Billy, but we realize that our loss means the University of North Carolina's gain. All sorts of success and good luck to you in future years. 37 4 2:4 c 1 I T 1 .AL H F s- D K Q J 8 Y gin, wwf fpg.:,q,pw-::- Jffzfa aw-v'::r.-g:a,fmsm.fw: 1 rv tts., fa vw A ' vi.v:z:'Wfg?. 6,fKs, W' ARCHER GRACCHUS JONES, JR. - RICHMOND, VA.

To be great if to be mira-nder.rto0d. To say that Archie is a rata avis would be putting it mildly. Four years ago, this likable and interesting prodigy, product of venerable Richmond, arrived upon the scene of action, and since then has succeeded in making himself respected for his ability and liked because of his personality. Archie,', without the shadow of a doubt, has the most fascinating character of all the youths at Woodberry, and by the power of a glance from deep-set eyes, cows the braggart and humbles the pedant. His acidulent pen, dripping accusations at every turn, probably righted more wrongs and exposed more pedagogic shams than did the scintillating sword of Perseus, which corresponds to his Quick and Dead, that organ of many penetrating and poignant observations. f - But one would infer from this description that our friend was either a maniac, a cynic, a bookworm, or a com- posite of all three. Far from it! His achievements in the athletic world have been the bane of his opponents and the delight of his coaches. This year's Captain of the Basketball team, he easily was the most outstanding prep school center in Virginia, and during three years as Captain of the Woodberry Ten- nis team, he has been defeated only once in match play. But space prohibits dwelling further on such an inex- haustible subject, and so, in closing, let it be said that we predict great things from him in the future and wish him all sorts of success. 38 f -: 2 iMyag.aMwe,g.g-,, 33,2-H5 .'..- qw-.SQ :w, -4-' 2 . -'v-1f -'-'f:'- , ' + ra Lf1e1'Y M+w, gf -- f--12-12 ' Y - - rw JOHN PRIESTLY LABOUISSE NEW ORLEANS, LA. lijohnnyfl lfLabby9, THREE YEARS Track Squad, '25, Dramatic Club, '24, ,25, '26, Oracle Board, '25, Afrociate Editor 0racle,', '26, Prefer!

Labby is also a student of no mean ability, and his averages are always among the best. That he is esteemed not only by the boys but also by the Masters is borne out by the fact that he was made a Prefect. He has held down this job wonderfully well and is one ofthe most revered members of that august council. Anyone familiar with the annals of the school knows that it has produced some very notable golfers. This custom, so to speak, is more than likely to be continued this year, for Johnny bids fair to rival Walter Hagen on the links! Speed? This young man has it-that is, speed wher- ever the fair sex is concerned. He is one ofthe biggest sheiks in the school, but we can never quite decide whether it is his handsome countenance or his line that attracts the girls -perhaps it is both. Nevertheless, we do know that they are attracted. Good-bye, Johnny, and a world ofluck to you! May you enjoy as much success at Princeton as you have had here.

He has excelled in Dramatics, being one of the best actors this school has ever produced. He has the ability to interpret any character assigned to him and to play it so convincingly that the audience always enjoys and appreciates his remarkable acting. . . As a member of the Hop Committee, he has taken great pleasure in giving us all a good time at three of the best and most attractive dances the school has ever given. Although he does all the light work, he has been a most efficient electrician.

Undaunted by the handicap of his lack of weight, Greg has entered whole- heartedly into every branch of athletics, and each year has marked his gradual rise from the lowly midget league to a formidable contender for several squad positions. However, his most marked achievements have been along literary lines. He is a member of this year's Oracle Board, and also a candidate -il-i for the Debating team.

He is a most versatile boy in every sense of the word, and it will be many a day before the school will see another youth with so wide a field of accomplishments. , Tom early showed a marked dramatic ability, and has been the mainstay of the Dramatic Club from its infant stages. The stage is his hobby, and obscure indeed must be the matter in question if Tommy does not divulge a past store of knowledge concerning plays and actors, past and present. ' Besides his Presidency of the Dramatic Club, he is an invaluable member of both the Oracle and FIR TREE boards. I 4 Tommy's fondness for the arts, however, does not 4' keep this remarkable youth from being a valuable athlete. Under Cap's guidance, Tom has developed into an excellent hurdler and has proved an indispensable asset to the Track team this year. This year, Tommy was made a Prefect, and ruled the Tabernacle with an authority and tact truly mar- velous to behold. He is undecided as to his plans for the future, but lucky indeedwill be the university thatwill gain the talents of this boy.

Bill had his rat year five years ago, and since then has been impressing us with his outstanding, though at times smilingly awkward, individuality. He has done his share modestly, and has shown a remarkable brand of persistent determina- tion, through thick and thin. Bill has gained his place in the graduating class only by grinding study and a strong Willpower. He has the punch that puts any man on top, the punch that overcomes tlIe weakness which keeps a good man down. Shifty, last season, made the Football team. His playing was of high charac- ter and that of which we are justly proud even when We speak with modesty. He has been on the squad for several seasons, but in this past season lIas shown the Varsity caliber that earned him his coveted position on the regular eleven. Bill has also had his share in other school activities. He is the advertising manager of the FIR FFREE, a job that calls for honest-to-goodness labor. Bill', is a demon for work, and his ability has not been overlooked. He has been selected to serve on the Sixth Form Memorial Committee, in which job we know he will, as of old, do his best with a smile, and help the Sixth Form dedication to be wellworthy of its class. We know that K'Bill will meet with crowning success at the University of North Carolina where he is going next year. He has been a wortlIy friend and a kind helper to all, and we all wish him rapid progress in his college years. 43 g g s -1-'A i f 3 i 1 w g K U E .

He has continued to cover himself with glory from that day to this. Last football season, Smill s speed was the dismay ofthe opposing players as he dashed around the ends for gain after gain. This year will be his second on the Track team, and it looks as if he is in a fair Way to annex another VV via the hundred-yard-dash route. The above list of ollices is evidence of Charlie's popularity and leadership. He is President of the Madison Literary Society, Secretary and Treasurer ofthe Sixth Form, and a member of the Chapel - V Council by vote of his fellows. Charlie's good sense, cool judgment, and his love of fair play Won for him a place on the Board of Prefects, and these qualities have made him respected throughout the school as well as on this board. The small boys are instinctively drawn to Charlie by his sympathetic kindness. We know that he has helped many of them over some of the harder spots of school life by means of his soothing words ofwisdom and Warning. He is a perfect gentleman, and We are sure Woodberry can always be proud of him throughout his career at North Carolina and in future years .

As time passed he also became one of the most respected boys. His lack of any conscious effort: to achieve prefectorial dignity enhanced and solidified his many-sided personality. Tommy was by no means an unappreciated genius. His facility in sport- writing, enriched by considerable experience in the Junior League, made him the outstanding member of the Athletic Staff of the Oracle, and this status as a leader of cognoscenti was further recognized by his election to the presidency ofthe eminently- successful Jefferson Literary Society. Do not get the impression that Tommy was con- - demned by his small stature to a merely stellar Junior l career-he became one of the coaches, most envied idols, being substitute quarterback on the Championship Foot- ball team, and after a brief respite, a daring forward on the Basketball squad. Perhaps his best sport and only re- maining hope for the Varsity VV is baseball, for rumor has it that he is a demon southpaw. Culin,', in addition to his athletic, intellectual, and prefectorial capacities, became one of Mrs. Walker's most inoffensive choir boys, and achieved such gutteral saint- liness that he was forthwith elected to the Chapel Council. Tommy,' intends to enter Princeton next year,Where, ifhisWoodberry record may be used as a basis for prophecy, he will be received with wide-open arms, both masculine . . and feminine. 45 If ii UQ 5 . 7 ROBERT STRINGFELLOWWALKER III WOODBERRY FOREST, VA.

Throughout his six years here as a student he has ranked among the foremost in his pursuit of learn- ing. Many times has his name appeared on that coveted Honor Roll among the highest-ranking boys in the school. Not in his academic work alone has Bob excelled, but he has gone further and shown characteristic scrap in various sports. Though small of stature, and young in years, he proved himself a valuable player in Junior League football, and this year he bids fair to make a high-jumper of rare ability. The greatest of his achievements, however, are to be found in Golf, the sport in which he has specialized. Indeed, - ' last year by reason of his excellent play he won the school golf tournament and proved himself the outstanding golfer at Woodberry. If there are any prophetic omens for the future in the present, as often claimed, not many years shall have elapsed before he will be rated amongst the best players of the state. In bidding him farewell, we all join in giving him our sincerest good wishes and saying that no matter in what vocation he may be interested or wherever he may be, we know that he cannot help but succeed. a.

The best-mztured foul that ever livedf' 'Way back in the dark ages, September, 1921, to be exact, a small rat, hiding behind a broad smile and a few freckles made his initial appearance at Woodberry. This smiling youth soon identihed himself as Tom Warlow from that narrow strip of land which projects from the southeastern part of our country. Tim's personality soon overcame this unfortunate disadvantage, and he quickly made many friends. As time passed, Wally,' rose in popularity and is now one of the most popular boys in school. Recently, he was elected President of the Florida-Georgia Club, a very significant honor. Tim has also proven his worth as an athlete. Last year, he made the Base- ball squadg this year he is one of the leading candidates - . for the team. We are expecting to see him behind the home- plate as a regular this spring. Although Rudy's best sport is Baseball, he made the Football squad this year and was Captain of a Junior League Basketball team. What- ever the sport may be, he puts all he's got into it, and his association with all branches of athletics has been bene- Hcial to himself and to his school. One may always find Timv in the smoking room, dragging on his pipe and telling jokes and stories. The boys are always ready to listen to him, for he has a keen sense of humor and his witticisms are usually original. Tom is going to the University of Florida next year.

For the last two years, the name of Albert Miller Whisnant has been synony- mous with, and indicative of athletics at Woodberry Forest. His enviable record in sport has included two letters each in Football, Basketball, and Baseball, and for his stellar play on the 1924- Football team, he was elected captain of this year's unde- feated State Championship Eleven. The various oHices which he holds bear tribute to his general efficiency and popu- larity. As President of the G. A. A., Senior Warden of the Chapel Council, member of the Senior Council Prefect Board, and divers other committees, he fulfilled his duties with care and commendability. Whiz is truly what his name implies! Whether it be studies, school-life in general, or athletics, he throws himself gl- upon each and every one ofhis undertakings with a greater amount of vim and pep every time, and he represents the true exemplification of that do-or-die spirit which means so much to every Woodberry boy. In all school enter- prises he has been an important factor, and his spirit and general attitude towards all phases of his life here with us has been a real example for future generations of Wood- berry boys. The University of North Carolina has claimed Albert for the next few years, and it is with the deepest sorrow that the school is forced to part with such a boy. May you meet with the success you have found at Woodberry, and may it follow you and be with you all the days ofyour life. 48 - 49 Y 1 .JL PEYTON RANDOLPH WILLIAMS RICHMOND, VA.

Since he came here, three years ago, Peyton has been known as this-the busiest, the most reliable, and the most conscientious of all his fellows. It would seem that these characteristics might represent the qualities of a per- fect boy, but as yet we have only just begun about Peyton. His list of oHices, as seen above, not only includes many high-ranking positions but also contains some ofthe most diHicult jobs in school. As Business Manager of the FIR TREE, he has proven invaluable, and the fact that he is on the Oracle Board, Prefect Board, Senior and Chapel Councils, denotes his popularity as well as his efliciency. In still another phase of school life does Peyt dis- tinguish himself-his studies. Throughout the three years he has spent here, his averages have been extraordinarily good. Seldom, if ever, does he average below 9047275 and con- sequently his name has become a Hxture on the list of Honor Roll students. Next year will probably see Peyton established at the University ofVirginia. It grieves us to have to tell such a loyal friend, good-bye, but We know he will come back and see us next year as often as he can. Here's hoping you may succeed in life, Peyton. The inestimable loss of you will be all ours, for in your going, we shall have lost our best and Hnest friend, and Woodberry shall have lost herutrue-blue boy,so high in ideals and so conscientious and lovable in all his undertakings. 49 we XQXX 2 VYjrEllSl'Qfxf K X HY fm il fe illici t? SS M fa r Lili ' l f 5 rzigigwr- The Twentysixiad Book I Come, Muse, from yonder purple mountain height And touch me with your wing, as keen and bright As peacock's tail spread fanwise to the sun- An epic I would write! It must be done Before Old Charon rows me over Styx. I'd sing the Class of Nineteen Twenty-s1x- The mightiest class of famous Woodberry- lThey accent so in song, why should not we ?j Unlike the mighty Vergil, I'll refrain From prophecies that tax the reader,s brain With wonderment, until he comes to know That his foretellings happened long ag Before the prophet CFD spake. I'll tell, instead, The boys who graced the class, and from my head And from my feeble StOI'E of mother wit, Forecast their destinies, where they shall fit In life's eccentric pattern. I have seen Their goings and their comingsg they have beer In class and on the field before my eyes- And in their youth their future manhood lies. For men, they say, are only boys grown tall. So much for introduction-that is alll 'Whose curly hair suggests a gay bandanna? It is the ever-serious Charlie BANNER. , Whenever he achieves a lowly grade, The tears flow fast, as springs from qule s iade No laughter mars the sternness of his face, To him a sense of humor spells disgrace To yield to common risibilities VVould cause him quaint and dangerous maladies. VVhile all the conversation that he had, Was to narrate the wisdom of his dad And yet, in many ways he was the smartest Of all his class, and may become an artist. In Billy,' BARFIELD Nature has combine The mighty qualities of strength and mind A rata avis he-some say conceited. In class and on the Field he's undefeated - But lesser minds are wont to hurl dehance At all who show that they are mental giants, So let them rail, we still are sympathetic To those who mingle brains with things athletic. ' This lad shall join the ranks of chiropractors And tower above his second-rate detractors. Whose lovely face all ladies' hearts endeared? Ah, whose? Why, that of handsome Fanny BEAR I Time was when he was what is called hard-boiled, But balm of alifability has oiled The toughest spots, and now he aims to please, To seek good willy and blessings such as these Z Make up for lack of brilliancy of mind And hold high rating with all humankind, Or womankind, for he is mighty keen With maidens, and they say that he has been A sheik from birth, that he will win success, A lot of jack, and lasting happiness. Those dear to women never fail to climb Fame's ladder, though perhaps it may take time But he will beard Old Time, and force his han , For those who know him surely understand That if of attributes he's lacking any 1t's not self-confidence, there are not many Who have a larger share, or are more cannyg Whereat we prophesy success for Fanny, Who wears the mask of Hugo's Jean Valjean? The ugliest map we ever looked upon? Whose rugged brows cast an eternal frownmgi ls it? Of course! It is LANDON BROWNING. And yet, despite the face, I'd have you know He has the love-torn heart of Romeo. J' A rustic Romeo, we must confess, Whose lofty aspirations, storm and stress, Strive for translation into garbs urbane. ' With such determination he will gain The plum, Success, desired of all Jack Horn , When he has polished off the rugged corners. lgllail to the one who next-ascendssthe block- , e one and only I-lorsief' Charlie COCKFH God's gift to women, lost in '98- ' The Christmas mail rush got him through too late The darkest of all steeds, his only due - Has been, as lover, constantly to woo And just as constantly to be rebuffed. Despite it all, our Horsie 's never hulfed. ln face of all his many aches and pains, A constant lover Charlie still remains. At fifty-five he'll still be 'round to borrow His roommate's coat against the fair tomorrowe A Sunday-afternoon, when he will dash, As in the past, and vanish like a Hash .- Over the hill, in suit that's mighty hot, 11 And there seek out a well-remembered spot, Engarlanded with eglantine and ivy, Where he may gaze upon the face of Although she may be wedded to another. Alas, poor Charlie!,' Poor misguided brother! The path of true love never did run slick, And though deceptions sting you to the quick, Be ever faithful, hold a steady pace! Some day, old horse, you yet may win the race. Who's next to cause poetic ink to flow? J. RUSSELL COMPTON, better known as Joe, A lad whose attribute is seriousness Clixcept when it is absent more or less Because of silliness?-I hate these su 'es, And so would .loe',,' forl am sure he stresses Intelligence in epics as in all The things of life. The gloomy Study Hall Has never known his presence, he's too wise To linger there. Some day he'll win the prize ln lawyer's fees, unless he settles down As doctor in some prosperous country town. l Hnd that I shall have to beat the Dutch in lVly rhyming schemes to feature Story CUTCHIN VVhenever he's at play, sometimes at work, He has a puzzling, an intriguing smirk. Perhaps contempt for mankind's futile ways Contorts his features, or perhaps he prays That by his grin he'll seem a pleasant fellow- At, any rate, that smile is mighty mellow. The boy has brains, the smile has got endurance' He'll make a fortune selling life insurance. A boy there is, or so I've heard the rumor. Who has a very subtle sense of humor. VVhen others merely smile, he loudly cackles' But one day he will learn to break the shackles Of giggle-fits, and grow in outward action To match his years. They say, for his distraction The gods, amused by all his noisy- prartle, Presented him with teething ring and rattle, And though he's only reached the age of five Dave CRAIG's the nicest boy there is aliv . VVho now appears with face so sad and sorry? None other than DIVINE-dejected lVlorry. They say his merry voice grew weak and quavery When someone else once greeted C .... A Although they later found it was her father. Divine the women thought him, but he rather Befooled them, though he was a right good guy M f And in his grades at school would always try To win the stars. An infant prodigy, He spread their light for all the rest to see. The roommate of this lad with eyes cerulean Is B. FENNER, known to all as Julian From table manners on through basketball He showed improvement, and astounded all. Though prone to take all general criticism Upon himself, he relished witticism When others were the butt. In our great Senat He'll take a seat, uphold the mighty tenet That when most people say a thing is so They must be right. Or maybe he will go V 7 3 !I 1 as 1 1 To found a harem in the heart of Turkey VVho is the boy with face all lined and old? It is our friend, our own Tom JACKSON GOLD With heart of the same metal, sleepy eyes, With oriental lids, the boy is wise In learned lore and human nature. Look! VVhy even now his nose is in a book. One day he'll learn anatomy from sturgeons The next, he'll rank among the famous surgeons Or if his mind should choose to take that twist, Become a famous psychoanalyst. Original should be his middle name, 9 S! 3 3 7 When senators grow dull and statecraft murky, 7 He'll get a kick from life, and may get fame, For though he suffered once the mind,s relapse, It shows no sign of permanent collapse. Comes next a youth who's quite a mystery- JOHN GRAHAM. Do you know him? Not so we. The boy is anything but dumb and dense, Yet shows withal a certain reticence. I, He's shy as any mouse, quick at his studies, I And fond of romping with his brainless uddies. A botanist he'll be, or study fauna, E Or play the races down at Tia Juana. If he could gain. a smooth pronunciation, l-le'd be a preacher seeking souls' salvation. Dip pen in ink, that it may How th'e thicker, For now we come to GORDON GRAY, hight HLIQLIOY., The boy who spent a lifetime being bright, And never had a thought that wasn't right. F He got them from his textbooks, ready-made, And though he might be great, I am afraid His name will shine in letters of enamel On frosted glass, he'll boss the filthy Camel , Of that concern he'll be the president- The lucky dog, his smokes won't cost a cent! All men will like him, for he's not a shovvman, And vastly different from Brother Bowman. There comes to mind a silly, crack-brained scamp, The First Dorm's champion wrestler, johnny l-IAMP In him self-conciousness and lack of poise Are far more marked than in some other boys. In spite of this, there comes a random spark 4 Of true intelligence at times. His mark Willebe to join a circus as a clown . . VVhen on the sawdust he will tumble down, To make the children roar To jokes he'll list 1, And suddenly his ruddy face will glisten, For whether he can see the point or no, He'll laugh-or sneer-at least, they tell me so. VVho fought the Protestants with stubborn will? Because they had no sixth-day service? Bill ! Bill HILL, who added light to Old Broadway By playing Jewish roles for little pay, Yet mighty fame, in Yiddish Art The-ay-ters,f Attended by the rich and sweatshop satyrs. 'Y He dotes on patriarchal parts, archaic, And when he speaks the lengitch, his Hebraic Accentuation's perfect, for we know That Rabbi Donovan proclaimed it so. .is- Whose face is that, as stern as any Quakefs? X It is our Senior Prefect's, old Nip BAKER's, '- He was the boy who kept the boat from sinking When other prefects rocked it. I am thinking That he would make an able politician Or college prexy, for his great ambition ' Is aided by a brain that's keen and level. When others muddle things and raise the de il, He weighs the evidence with even mind, His judgment's sound. I'm sure you will not End A better future mayor for Manhattan. Less likely on the public purse to fatten Than many others. He shows leadership. So cast your votes some day for Little Nip. VVho spreads that Cheshire grin from ear to ear? 1 Whose is that raucous laughter that we hear? A laughter that is mighty close to shoutin'? ,- It is the grin and roar of old Chink HOUGHTON. We love his accent and his genial heartg Of him conceit has never been a part. His father's known to be a darned hard worker, And Chink has never been an idle shirker. He'll work with dad, and do the best he can, And so become a right successful man. Who bolsters up the choir when it gets silly? VVhy, none but WILLIAM HUNT, our one Wee Willy He sin-gs at concerts, now and then plays hymns, And could he get the stiffness from his limbs, He'd have a chance at fine aesthetic dancing, Where supple grace is always most entrancing. A stauncher friend the old school never knew, So .though we've razzed him, he shall have hi' due. Some day the boy may rival old Caruso, E Then all his mates will loudly shout, We knew sol More likely he'll desert the art of Liszt To be a prosperous horticulturist. Philosophers, please moderate your tones! We have to treat of ARCHER GRACCHUS JONES, The brilliant prodigy Whose influence fell On high and lowly minds, and left a spell , For benefit or ruin. His caustic pen ' Set him apart from all the little men Upon a gloomy. craggy promontory VVhich he enjoyed, alone in all his glory. Until, grown tired of smashing mad conventions, And wearied by his numerous intentions That came to naught, because he was erratic And lazy, he at once became ecstatic, Rejected all his free philosophy, . To work and study for the ministry. The one-time bitterqscathing analyst Is now a somber, gaunt-eyed Methodist, For hidden deep beneath his outward pose He had a sentimental streak that shows ln his benign endeavors. It is finer To be a missionary in far China, And bear the humblevname of Ezra Jenkin, Than write such rot as I and H. L. Mencken Once wrote, he says, and smooths his collar starchy. Some day we'll hear him called the good Saint Archyf' VVho is that youth whose hair is slick with grease? That dusky beauty is JOHN LABOUISSE. 5 New Orleans, that fair heart of loveliness, Has sent him forth. In manner and in dres He's quiet and retiring, but one feels Beneath his calm a something that appeals, That makes one say, His charm we can't resist, Yet he might one day be a bigamistln ' These quiet folk are hard to riddle out- That he's a splendid student, there's no doubt: He studies well, he mixes wellg he plays, He does that well-so he deserves our praise. That's all that we can say, for he's not ffabby. What he will be is known to none save 'Labby. A very unobstrusive youth appears- IVICKINNEY, IVIUNSON-prince of engineers. ' When he's not busy spanning waterways, He dabbles with his favorite camera craze.' He made a study once of Rhoads and HILL In birthday suits-I think he has them ill. Developed them himself-the films, I m an, 1 I He couldn't change the subjects, though he,s keen, And has full many a rich artistic gift. When acting. you should hear him quickly shift His quiet tone into a rumbling bass. , VVe missed him when he left this ancient place. Life's race is won by fellows such as he, ' Without them, where the dickens would we b F' And where am I? Come, Muse, I humbly beg, Inspire my pen to extol the mighty Grcg,', The only PRINCE we have by right of name. Creation slept when little Gregory came For being here he seems apologeticg 0, He's far too frail for enterprise athletic, 'l -Z Yet he's no moron, for he has a mind Will boost him up where others lag behind I We look to him 'for something strange and new, Originality should be his due. Consider well the work that you have done. ls his devirz, and good for anyone. What rugged bulk and booming voice be these? lt's WIl,LlAlVl SHUFORD, second Hercules. The mighty Bull, who won at last long length His passing grades by superhuman strength. He has the crafty politician's walk, And if we may believe the latest talk This lad with force of high-powered ocean lin Will be the Governor of Carolina. All hail the power of might when might is right! VVe know that Bull will sure get in and light. And now Barb WALKER. HJ. C.'s', pride and joy The youngest Sixth,,' and out-and-out a boy. Headmasters, sons have got no easy job, But we can hand the medal to Son Bob. When he has served his time at U. Va., He'll settle down at Woodberry, some day, And marry-well, we give you all one guess! And carry on the good old school, unless , He wearies of the routine and tradition, ' And roams afar to satisfy ambition. ' When 'brains were handed out, they never picke on Our genial, handsome WARLOVV, Thomas Picton. He tried to be a doughty mental giant, But gave it up and laughed, for Tim is pliant, Yet full of effort. Ere his hair is grayer, ' He'll make a famous first-string baseball player In friendship, Hrl1llT1,, is ever tried and true, And so of friends he has far more than few. He'll laugh at jokes he does not understand.- The ladies love him, say he's simply grand! He'll grow to be a jovial old fellow, Beloved by all, when age is ripe and mellow. Who is the handsome lad in garments spiffy? lt's WHISNANT, mighty football hero, Wiffy ! For Hfootballv substitute most any sport, He's right at home on diamond, gridiron, c . 't, Or what you will, the more there are, the b tter Of all the alphabet his favorite letter Is W, of which he has a score. If there were other sports he'd have some more. His friends are legion, he is liked by all, And though in stature he is rather small, He'll be a big man as a college coach-- A sportsman fearless and beyond reproacl I see expressive hands-a marble brow . ,x And THOMAS RUTHERFOORD IS with us now John Barrymore, accept your Waterloo- This soul is just as temperamental, too. Within his eyes there shine the myriad talents Of Thespians born, and grace of old world gallants Had he ambition's ever-urging flame, He'd add new luster to sweet Shakespeare's name A keen observer, too, with cynic tongue And comment critical. The laurel hung On poets' brows might justly deck his own When he essays the impassioned lyric tone A dreamer, too, a cape and sword romantic: A dilettante-never too pedantic. Chameleon-like, he takes on varied hues, Or, second Proteus, shows us diliierent views Of his essential self, which we admire Let sudden inspiration kindle fire Within his being, and this lad shall hold Distinguished honors, better far than gold. A boy there is whose speech 1S crisp and pithy, - We now refer to honest Julius SMITH. H Became a splendid refectg his assignments Outranked his priviiieges. Long confinements With textbooks sure do bring the bacon home. He used his head while others chose to roam.- We see him now in business engrossed, And while he always proves a charming host, The work comes First. He's made a huge success, And all who know him wish him nothing less. A harum-scarum lad, whose face belies it, Will rise to fame. although he now denies lt. The Father of his Country lent his name When Master Tommy THOMPSON pr udly ca At writing sporting news the boy's a wonderg ITIC The mighty Archy JONES may give him thunder. But Tommy comes right back with repartee That makes poor Archy writhe in agony If he would only work a little harder, He might reduce his excess boyish ardor, But what he wants, he works for and achieves. We all shall mourn when merry Tommy leaves We sadly sing our .Hnal benedictlon To one whose character is no mere fiction, The paths of righteousness he always trod- - An honest man's the noblest work of God That's PEYTON WILLIAMS, right down to the g Despite his many critics, we have for nd That he would never turn from ideal laws And now, as minister, he's joined the cause Of truth eternal.

Oh, yes! The Fall Dances! And then he would shut his eyes slowly, languidly, heave a great sigh, smile a dreamy smile, and lapse into profound silence .... That would be his reply, and being interpreted it would mean that the dances were a large success. But before even the dance started, every one was put in highgood humor by the fact that in the afternoon Woodberry's Football team had walked up and down the field of Randolph-Macon with victorious results. And after that there was a delicious banquet in the beautifully-decorated Dining Hall. All of which was, in our opinion, just the right way to start a charming Fall Prom. In due time-about nine-thirty, we think-the Sangamo Orchestra took its place on the stage of the Public Hall., and a melodlous din stirred and started the night, continuing right on up to and including some of the very small hours. Withoiit a doubt, it was the most colorful hop yet seen at Woodberry. There were hundreds and hundreds of multicolored balloons suspended from the ceiling, which, enhanced by the radiant frocks of the girls, created a brilliance which was not far short of dazzling. It was not until the end of the Night Prom that faces commenced to lengthen at the prospect of the morrow. For even though there was to be the Morning Dance, the realization came to all that this dance was but the means of making good-byu more easy. And so, the following morning, after the very short but peppy dance, it Was all over. lfwe did not mind being unoriginal, we would say that this was the best dance ever known to us, as in former years many others have said. And we've decided that we will go on and say it, at that-because after all it was wonderful. Those, without whose attractive presence the dance would not have been held, and those directly responsible for their attendance are the following: Miss Mary Lee Shepherd with Mr. Whisnant, Miss Julia Andrews with Mr Ruffin, Miss Peggy Crockett with Mr. Wily, Miss Beverly Northrop with Mr. Craig, Miss Imogene Taylor with Mr. Mallory, Miss Mildred Mercereau with Mr. Mercereau, Miss Martha Litchford with Mr. Smith, Miss Evelyn Gregory with M r. Gray, Miss Susie Wilcox with Mr. Hill, Miss Nancy King with Mr. Rhoads, Miss Elizabeth Micou with Mr. Shuford, Miss Elaine Pattison with Mr. Love, Miss Truie Balliette with Mr. Lindley, Miss Fannie Blun with Mr. Hancock, Miss Katherine McDowell with Mr. McDowell, Miss Edna Gilmer with Mr. Steele, Miss Dorothy Henkel with Mr. Henkel, Miss Josephine Hinton with Mr. Hole, Miss Jocelyn Beard with Mr. Jones, Miss Charlese Avery with Mr. Smither, Miss Patrick Burt with Mr. Willioite, Miss Florence Boyce with Mr. Peyton, Miss Helen Matthews with Mr. Weave1', Miss Nancy Moir with Mr. Westcott, Miss Bettina Parker with Mr. Houghton, Miss Katherine Wheleii with Mr. Andrews, Miss Virginia Boxley with Mr. Donovan, Miss Mary Mclntosh with Mr. Dale Beard, Miss Vivy Boxley with Mr. Cocke, Miss Annie Crewe WHFFCIX with Mr. Walker. 71 1 X .: :E Mid-Winters The Midwinter Hop was unique. Though a distinct departure in sundry ways from the usual informal Woodberry dances, the innovation proved no less successful than conventional. First on a very colorful and sporty program was the Basketball Banquet in the dining-room which was charmingly decorated in red with red paper hearts upon each white tablecloth, and red, palpitating hearts beneath each white-bosomed dress shirt. But there seemed to be but little appreciation for those preliminaries, and the subdued syncopations of the V, P. I. Collegiatesn seemed a far greater attraction than Woodberry's holiday fare, and it was but a short time ere timorous-at-first couples were wending their way towards the ballroom. The Public Hall, on February 12th, was unrecognizable. It was more like a country club salon on the eve of a debutante ball. The room was lighted solely by what appeared to be huge balls of evergreens hanging on gold chains from the ceiling, and through which came a dull green glow. Covering each wall were crimson cornucopias of evergreen,joined by gilded cords to one another, and from which a concealed red light reflected its mellow glow upon the white wall. Then, upon the stage fbehind red Hower boxes of cedar boughsj sat, in their red-and-blue uniforms, the incomparables- The V. P. I. Collegiatesf' Well, that, with the addition of thirty-odd flamboyant evening dresses, even immaculate tuxetlos, and fully two hundred abandoned individuals who were very soon crowding the ballroom, is the setting wherein the most important ofWoodberry's winter social events took placeg the very obvious action will not here be described. ' All was as it should have been, and better. Even the subsequent brief Morning Dance was the finest which the writer of this inadequate description has attendedg though, of course, it was very sad, which proves its worth. And now the orchestra was wailing something sad, which meant good-by, and now meaningful looks, the which it is not our duty Cthough it may be our abilityj to interpret callously, were exchanged. And now from neighboring railroad stations roll emptyish-looking cars, bearing despondent individuals, who, whistling but lately-heard tunes and thinking but lately-inspired thoughts, will perceive naught for days. And well may one regret the termination of so brilliant a week-end, for.we are aware that all that is left ofit is memories and this list of those who attended the Fall Dances: Miss Julia Andrews with Mr. Craigg Miss Mildred Cave with Mr. Whisnant: Miss Adelaide McAllister with Mr. Rufling Miss Martha Scott with Mr. Mcliinneyg Miss Gwyn Cooke with Mr. Labouisseg Miss Kitty Jones with Mr. Smithg Miss Charlese Avery with Mr. Divineg Miss Alice Garnett with Mr. Whitey Miss Louise Harwood with Mr. Lindleyg Miss Mary Patrick Burt with Mr. Comptong Miss Louise Wooten with Mr. Jerome Thompsong Miss Elizabeth Kitchen with Mr. Fultong Miss Edith Rutherfoord with Mr. Rutherfoordg Miss Alice Gibbons with Mr. Wyllyg Miss Mary Allen Skelding with Mr. Beardg Miss Elizabeth Whitlock with Mr. Lassiterg Miss Helen Walker with Mr. Eshelmang Miss Bettina Parker with Mr. Houghtong Miss Kath- erine lVlcDowell with Mr. McDowell5 Miss Marye Johnson with Mr. Thompsong Miss Virginia Dunklee with Mr.Grayg Miss Madge Morrison with Mr, Holeg Miss Gordon Fry with Mr. Fennerg Miss Imogene Taylor with Mr. Smootg Miss Betty lVlcKnew with Mr. Malloryg Miss Florence Wetherell with Mr. Bakerg Miss Mary Armstrongwith Mr. Hallg Miss Margaret Hines with Mr. Yarboroughg Miss Josephine Metts with Mr. Shepherdg Miss Bruce Lockwood with Mr. Hobbsg Miss Margaret Terrell with Mr. Hotchkissg Miss Blanche Rhett with Mr. Nashg Miss Elizabeth Micou with Mr. Walkerg Miss Jocelyn Beard with Mr. Jones. 73 , Q17 MW W QFIR x X ii '1 :23'w5iQ As-'dv 'J wwwmmwffmzwm aws-..w,,.,g .,m1Q.v..Q, f.,g:fg,,:g M,-W W, - Hop Committee DAVID J.

FLEMING WILY I w HE DAILY DOPE Weather: All Wet First and Last Edition STARVED BANDIT ROBS CHAPEL Makes Big Haul VV. F. S., Feb. 30th Cby a Crocheted Dressl. Yesterday evening, during the usual Sun- day se1'vice held at St. ADCll'8W'S Chapel, an unusual service was held at St. Andrew's Chapel. As the collection plates were passed around, a solo was being sung, entitled: HGod helps those who help themselves. This is what caused all the trouble. There was trouble, for un- beknownst to the innocent, sleeping congregation, the terri- ble bandit, Wily Willie Gibson, alias I-loot Gibson, alias Bad Bill Gibson, alias Cul- peper Night Life Gibson, alias Haircut Harry Gibson, had slipped in and taken a seat. He was masquerading in his favorite guise, Haircut Harry, and even had the congregation not been sleeping, they would have been unable to see the dark face, furrowed and sunken in by ex- cessive all-night parties, so en- shrouded was it by his mangy mane. But he was there with deep hatred in his heart, pent up by many years of hard labor on the Culpeper pen farm. As Bad Bill listened to that stirring solo, he was also listen- ing to the clinking, ringing, jingling of the collection plates. As he listened to the silvery tintinnabulation of forks, spoons, knives, gold teeth, or what have you, dropping musically into the plate, many black or perhaps highly-colored thoughts passed through his mind. As the plates came slowly toward him, he estimated the probable amount of his haul. He was figuring on enough to pay up his world- series debts, his horse-race debts, his poker debts, and what he still owed on the last all-night party he had thrown in Cul- peper. And as the congregation was still asleep, he figured that CConliuued to page 23 THICK OF HEAD The insidious propensity of an infinite throng of oinnifarious savants attending this institu- tion of erudition towards the fantastical archetype, to wit, that it is indispensably com- pulso1'y, in order to append cor- poreal sustentation, that one should resort to the diurnal ap- petcncy of digestible pabulum is, to allege the least, most odd and asinine. Why even a doltish exemplification of a human nin- eompoop should have the ap- petcney for the inanity can- not be prognosticated even by -this charlatanic author. I asseverate with the utmost fatu- ousness that this mumbo-jumbo conceived by the irrational pomp- ions ' of our community will terminate with the ultimate im- pairment of our paramount con- federation, and bring the aeri- mony of our propinquity upon us. In the initiate site, this insti- tute is experiencing a maximal pecuniary discomfort, induced by the pertinaeious opinionated eontuinaciousness of these naugh- ty zorils, who are pantomimical puppets, imitating the buffoonie gcsticulations of the muchedun- re. This stupid state of specula- tion may be assimilated to that of a babe who may be perceived taking his matinal siesta in a perambulator under the watch- fulness of a guardian nurse: just as this immature person will exude drops of the saline liquid secreted by the lacrimal glands, so these greedy, self-concerned guttersnipers will be umbrageous at having their daily fodder dis- posed of. Nevertheless, let us not be further calumniated by this ignominy, but pursue these rancorous reprobates, rightly reprimanded, by the rigorous regarding of them as outlandish profligates, and by denying to them the honor of our company. lEditor's note: This is the first of a series of articles attacking the prevailing evils of our school by Mr. A.

He could see, amidst the rusty bolts and candy wrappers, several gold teeth and fork handles. His hands itched as the plate was passed to Mercer, sitting on his left and gently snoring. A side- wisc glance at Vestryrnan Wily assured the desperado that he was still in a stupor. His plans were working to perfection. Nervously he ran his hands through his thick, oily locks. With one hand he reached for the plate and with the other he grabbed a handful of the knives and teeth from it. But here Haircut Harry's carefully- laid plans went astray, and all because of that ill-advised move- ment of brushing back his hair. For, having thus gotten his hand greasy with that mixture of Sta- comb-vaseline-olive-oil-gasoline and shoepolish, which kept the mange from showing, he let slip the plate. At that particular moment, the soloist was just taking a breath, the organ was temporarily silent, and the en- tire congregation was in the same phase of a silent snore. One could have heard a board walk, or a lamp light, so intense was the silence. Crash! tinkle, plop went the spoons and teeth. Ro-o-ll went a slug across the floor. The soloist halted in the midst of a note. The congrega- tion woke up in the middle of sonorous, perfectly-tuned snores, and they saw wily Willie,' Gib- son running toward the door with a handful of forks, gold teeth, and nuts, Detective Scot- ty hard in pursuit.

I-Ie's got a head that swelled enough To take most any cake. You should see him un the dance floor- He prances all around, To show the rest how it is done- I'Ie's a bear in his home town. He does the Charleston and Cinq-Sous, Excels in all the rest, For when it comes to dancing, That bird knows he's the best. In his opinion he is The best dressed of all males. He even sets the fashion for Edward, Prince of Wales. He smiles at present fashions, In his conceited way, Says, Pshaw, why they're a year behind, I wore those things last May. He hates to speak to anyone Except the letter men. The rest, the lowly common herd, They are not of his ken. And so whene'cr crowds get a glimpse Of this conceitecl soul, They whisper to each other, That's the famous Leonard Hole. 3 THE ALL-ROUND MAN I've only been here for one year, So I'ui not the one to say, But it strikes me that I've made In every possible way. good I certainly am a leader, Even if I know it myself.

At. this time of the year, as the school term closes and Fifth Formers have many high aspirations Cone of them the desire of becoming a next year's i Prefectl, let us look over our present Prefect Board and recall , their very successful year. Aren't they to be praised, though? Aren't they to be laud- ed? Not a day went by that they did not help out some poor, unfortunate rat: not a day went by that they did not take some privilege from the Old Boys and give it to the rats. They deserve our praises!! At least five times did they beat some mean Old Boy for being harsh to the rats or run- ning them on errands. They showed the Old Boys how to treat the new ones. Many a time did they ship rude Old Boys who hurt the rat's feelings. J Oz' And for eternity could I rave about the wonderful spirit which they instilled into the Old Boys' hearts?. But everyone knows of it already. Therefore, in closing, I wish to say that those boys who will be Prefects on next year's board will have a hard time living up to the reputations that J. Cfs 1926 watehdogs set, but by lov- ing the rats and by following this year's model Prefect, who, by the way, is a bit of satirical genius Cin his own opinionj- .Iarcher Accus Groans-I feel sure that they will succeed.

First Round-Groner opened up with a terrific smash to the jaw, staggering his opponent, who clinched. Referee Baird broke them apart, however, giv- ing the Wop a friendly slap on the back and telling him to go to it. Groner's Irish blood rebelled at this religious partiality and seeing red, he smacked the referee in the mouth, knocking out two front teeth. Then turning on the hook-nosed wonder, he assaulted him with such ferocity and anger that he would have killed him had not the gong sounded for the end of round one. Second Round-Groner leaped from his corner at the sound of the bell and kicked his opponent soundly on the right shin. Rosy clinched, and while thus engaged, tried to sell the battlcr some fine goods, only 995 cts. Groner, speechless with anger by this attempt at friendliness, sent the blond Jew down for the count of 9, and because Referee McLaren, in for Baird, counted too slowly, kicked him from the ring just as the bell rang. Third Round-The Jew, now drunk from the maddened Irish- man's blows, staggered from his corner into a clinch with Groncr. Referee Gibson, considering the fate of the other two, separated them and patted Groner on the back, which got a smile from the big champion. Rosenkrans, attempting a rally, hit Groner on the wrist. The latter became overcome with rage at this attack and with one mighty blow, put KITE and CHOIR TEAMS WIN Strong Opponents THE FIRST ATHLETIC MEETING The hall was crowded with a group of yelling old boys and a horde of timid rats. The noise was deafening. Suddenly all was quiet. Captain Pritchett rose to his feet, took a chew of tobacco, adjusted his wig, and hobbled to the center of the floor. Boys , he began in a low voice. I am surprised and pleased to tell you that we are going to have a good team, aheinf' Cheers and handclaps. A voice in the back of the room yells: Sit down, we want to hear somebody else! Loud cheers and Captain hobbles to his seat. A shy rosy checked blushing youngster hardly out of his teens is pushed forward and, shyly walks to the front of the room. He introduces himself as Mr. Dudley, sixth assistant football coach, McLaren being numbers 3, 4, and 5. He gives a short talk and romps to his seat. At last little Raleigh Taylor gets up to speak, but no, it's only Mr. Dick, and he shyly makes a curtsy and starts off: Twinkle, twinkle little star. How I won- der where you are .... ? Great commotion and Whisnant jumps to his feet saying: Here I am. He is immediately pushed down by Jones, who claims the honor. Leonard IN. Dick, M. A., then curtsies and sits down. Crowd rushes for door as supper bell rings, and team is trampled underfoot. the Jew over the ropes into the screaming crowd. Referee Gib- son immediately declared the Irishman the winner, not even counting for Rosenkrans. 7 Hunt Makes All-State The fame of Woodberry was spread far and wide during the trips made in the spring holidays by the Choir and Kite teams. Although only Captain Willie I-Iunt, Jim Toombes, and Bim Ruffin were able to make the trip for the Choir, Woodberry won every match. Captain Billy informs us that he captivated every audience by his doleful voice. Ruffin and Toombes were ungraciously received by every- one, but their reception was not to be compared with his. Hunt also said that he had picked an all-state team of which he is the captain. Ruffin was elected captain of the 1926-1927 team by a majority of one vote over Jim Toombes. The victories of the Choir were no more unimpressive than those of the Kite team. Captain Arnold was unable to make the trip due to his failure to make the required average: but Stokes, C. and Eugene VVily were able substitutes for our noble captain. The team was composed of the following men: Bell, Morse fasting captainj, Stokes, and Wily. Coach Rosenkrans and Manager Burdett also made the trip. Lionel informs us that Bell and Morse both performed well. Bell starred against Virginia, winning both the runts' and squirts' divisions. Stokes almost lost the Hampden-Sidney match when, with the score untied, he disturbed Morse in elevating his machine. Manager Lionel S. Burdett, however, saved the day by a practical use of his strength. Much comment was aroused by the manager's and the first sub- stitute's CStokesl figures. Some thought they were brothers, but tContinued la page 81 THE DAILY DOPE Choir and Kite Teams Win fC07ltI:71U8dfT07Il page 75 Titus had an advantage over Muscle-Bound in looks. .The team was awarded letters by HJ. C. on its return to school. The winners of the W then proceeded to ballot for Captain. The result at the end of the 300th ballot was the same as at the first-Stokes, Wily, Bell, Morse, and Arnold tied, every man hav- ing voted for himself. It was then decided to permit Gold who failed to make a letter to vote. He, per usual, voted for himself. Manager L..S. T. E. E. Burdett then was asked to vote. He voted for his bosom friend Stokes. Although Coach Rosenkrans deserves a great deal of praise for the success of the team, nevertheless, Captain Bendix deserves the lion's share of the glory.

The odds were all on Scotty , as he has been playing with the elusive pills for many years. But, until the eighth hole, it appeared that Jakey was going to win. The Old Soldier , however, came through on the eighth and ninth holes in perfect form, sinking his ball on both for birdies. The Match On the first hole Carter drove a beautiful ball straight down the third fairway. The light was bad, however, and he didn't see just where it went, so he started in Search of it. After fifteen minutes of fruitless hunting he called his official ball-hunters, Warren, Archibald, Fulton, Smither, and Walker, B, to aid in the round-up. After half an hour of systematic search the pill was found buried in the ground where J. C. had trod upon it forty-five minutes before. The match proceeded and the first green was reached. Here it was noticed that Scotty had no ball and when asked where it was he thought a moment and then suddenly remembered that he'd forgotten to drive. So he returned to the tee and after three tries made a hard straight toward the hole. He reached the green in two, but his ball refused to drop into the cup, and he lost the hole. Carty, cheered up by his win- ning of the first hole, captured the second with a beautiful seven while Scot took an eight. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth holes were halved and truly astounding shots were made by both players. 'tBox-Jaws , es- pecially, is to be commended for watching his ball, as he lost it but sixteen times on these holes. On the seventh hole, despite the handicap of losing one of his balls in the creek, Scotty won the hole, making Jake only one up.

Gibson, retired jockey and con man of the big time circuits, now Latin and baseball adviser at Woodberry Forest, Virginia.l That big best bet for today is on a little known horse from the small-time circuits. Although he is blind, winded, choleric, and bulky, he is only thirty-live years old and bids fair in time to become a great horse. His name, folks, is P. Nankywinetrowehoot- eaehipapgibson, and although the odds are 500 to one, with him the one, he is absolutely a winner. I used to ride him around Culpeper ten or fifteen years ago and he was some stepper, often doing the five mile run in less than half an hour. The track today will be muddy, but that from a handicap to P. as used to pulling slows in time. So, boys, put your on this horse for a sure up. is far he is spare dime clean FACULTY MEETING QCon.t-inued from page 41 this, not a bit. Gotta have more work in these meetings.

He saw another though, and again he Coclce-d and fired his gun. This time the Birdie dropped to the cold Brown earth dead. On his way home he came to Brooks crossed by bridges and a Ford.

On his way he had to climb a Hill and cross a bleak Barlield, so when he arrived he was thirsty. He went to the bar and ordered some Whisky which made him Happy. I-Ie began to run up and down the Gray Rhodes until he saw a parade approaching. Lead- ing the parade was a Nash in which was a Steele worker, a Parson, a Shepherd, a Slolce-r, and a Gri-me-y westerner. The last named had a terrible looking Bowie knife which he threw at Charlie. Behind this came a illercer in which was the Banner bearer: and then a hlolley array of bathing girls Browning in the sunlight. Suddenly the boom of Carman was heard and a circus came by. There was the lion Beard-ed in his den. There was a and princess of the parade loaded down with Mighty wreaths of flowers. They were seated before a Rusty log Shack, as they were supposed to be true Scotty-s. Here Charlie took another swig of Liquor, and when he camo to he was in the middle of a mud- Hole.

The Tiger eleven won every game on its schedule, amassed a total of 169 points to its opponents' 9, and by virtue of its decisive victories over every outstanding team in the state of Virginia, laid just claim to the coveted State Championship. By winning a 13-0 victory over Tome School, which previously had played a scoreless tie with the Hill School, the Virginians might have laid claim to a grasp upon the Maryland and Pennsylvania State titles, but football castles built on comparative scores seldom materialize, and only by the game which a Woodberry team has played shall a Woodberry team be judged. Only one team crossed the Orange and Black goal-line during the entire season -Episcopal High School in the last game of the season. The other three points scored against Woodberry were made by a drop-kick, kicked by Byrd of A. M. A. from the 35-yard mark. The string of victories scored by Woodberry were as follows in this order: Swavely School, Shenandoah Valley Academy, Augusta Military Academy, Virginia Episcopal School, Tome School, Randolph-Macon Academy, and Episcopal High School. Snow prevented the game scheduled with Fishburne Mili- tary School. Witll only four letter men back from the 1924- eleven, prospects looked anything but bright at the beginning ofthe season. However, as time went on and raw material developed, a real team was molded from the willing clay by the experienced coaching of Captain Pritchett and Mr. Dick. Though good ,varsity timber was lacking at the start, the morale of the squad remained unshaken, and the fights for positions were keen and spirited throughout. The Swavely team was easy meat for the Orange and Black eleven in the initial game of the season. The home team had more weight and better teamwork than did the more diminutive eleven from Manassas, and experienced little difliculty in administering a 46-0 drubbing to the visitors. Shenandoah Valley Academy, reputed at that time to have one of the best teams in the state, was met at Woodberry the following Saturday and returned home 109 - ,Q 5 1 IR -AL TF- . L il.. .sa that night on the short end of a 28-O score. Woodberry's defensive play featured the contest, and only once during the entire first half did S. V. A. get possession of the ball. Barfield starred in the line and also kicked four neat goals from placement. The following Week-end the Woodberry eleven journeyed to Charlottesville and met its ancient rival the Augusta Military Academy on Lambeth Field. The turf was wet and slippery, but the Orange and Black earned a hard-fought victory over the scrappy Cadet eleven. Byrd scored a drop-kick late in the last period, the first points made against Woodberry, but the two touchdowns made by Whisnant and Whitford proved ample margin for victory. The Tigers pointed for the game with Virginia Episcopal School the next week.

The game was played in a drenching downpour of rain, and an unrecognizable Woodberry team Hnally emerged from the mud after scoring three touchdowns against the Red and White aggregation from Lynchburg. The final score Was 19-0. Smith's brilliant end-running featured the game from a Woodberry standpoint, the little halfback finally scoring after three Hashy runs of 15, 20, and 25 yards each. An unlooked-for snow storm prevented the Fishburne game the next Week and the team had a thorough two Weeks' training in preparation for the Tome game, considered next to the most important game which Woodberry plays. The latter Was victorious for the first time in the last four years, and the Maryland men Were forced to accept a decisive 13-0 defeat at the hands of their old Virginia rivals.

The game with Randolph-Macon Academy at Front Royal, Va., proved easy for the first team, and the substitutes played the majority of the game. The final result was 42-0 in favor of Woodberry. The last and greatest game of the season was played a week later with the Episcopal High School. The game was played at Alexandria before a record crowd of almost four thousand spectators, and weather conditions were excellent for the approaching classic. The game itself was as evenly and bitterly waged as any contest has ever been. Woodberry, with a clean slate behind them, and anxious to keep their goal-line inviolate, had all to gain and almost all to lose, for a defeat at the hands of E. H. S., who had already bowed to S. V. A. would have meant the irretrievable loss of the State Championship. E. H. S. on the other hand had nothing to gain except a 113 - Q a x as L -i-A-.1 , XS - ... N kr M 5 E W 5 1 - www I I A. I - v victory over Woodberry, but the Episcopalians, showing their best form ofthe sea- son, scrapped like veritable Wildcats, and by dint of their furious attack almost wrested the victory from the Orange and Black gridders. Play in the first quarter was even enough, neither team being able to pierce within the opponents' thirty-yard line. The battle was fought every bit as closely in the second quarter. Scintillating kicking by Moncure of Episcopal and Barfield of Woodberry kept each team out of danger. Nash's twenty-yard run ol? tackle at the end ofthe period brought the Tigers to within fifteen yards of the goal-line just as the whistle blew for the half to end hostilities. Harder, steadier, and less Hashy playing characterized the third quarter, but still no scoring. Woodberry tallied first. On the second play of the last quarter, with the ball on the E. H. S. 40-yard line, Captain Whisiiant dropped back and heaved a long for- 114 : D Ki ' 3: Il ward pass to Cocke. The latter snagged it on the run and fell across the goal-line, tackled too late by Moncure. Barfield's trusty toe was responsible for the extra point from placement. Then came Episcopal's answer, two minutes later, with the ball once more in midfield. Little Moncure shot a low short pass to Flippin, Captain of the Maroon and Black eleven. The big end raced down the field, checking off' chalk-line after chalk-line and outdistancing his pursuers as he ran. At last Nash and Whisnant brought him crashing to earth on the 7-yard mark. In two plunges Faul- coner bucked the ball across for a touchdown. The latter missed his dropkick for the extra point which, had it been good, would have tied the score. After several inef- fectual plays the game ended, and thus was a fitting capstone set upon the glorious season of1925-a season which will long be remembered by all who ever heard ofit, and the glory of which will remain undimmed in the annals of Woodberry Forest throughout all ages to come. Before this summary may be concluded, mention of the coaches, Captain Pritchett and Mr. Dick, should be made. Such tireless labor, such enduring patience, and such unceasing efTorts did they give the team and squad of 1925 that deep in each letter man's heart there is planted the firm conviction that his coaches made him what he was. And by the side of that conviction is a deeper and more lasting gratitude, so each and every member of the team takes this welcome opportunity to thank Captain Pritchett and Mr. Dick for their incessant and arduous work in developing this year's eleven into a State Championship team that Woodberry is proud to call her own. Prospects for next year are even brighter than they were last fall, and counting on the same coaches' return the success ofthe team is almost assured. . 115 ?gl11i l l 1 ' 2 X :AQ 9 f D 1 Z X Q 1 ,V sr as--as - -su, ,tt 2' 1 1 , in H W M WHISNAN'l 'Cdf7fGi'7l and Quarffrburle After conscientious workin preparation for his new assignment as quarterback, VVhiz flashed into early prominence as a real triple-threat baclclield star. His elusiveness as a broken-field runner, his effec- tive passing and kicking, and his intelligent use of a vicious stiff-arm made him a most valuable asset to his team. Supplementing his physical versatility, he possessed unusual qualilications as a leader and a field-general. Until he suffered a severe leg injury which deprived his team of his services during three ofthe impor- tant games, his performance fully vindicated the predictions which earlier elforts had warranted. Even when crippled and while playing his last big game under conditions which permitted the use of little but his headwork and his southpaw delivery he succeeded in heaving the long pass which gave his team the right to claim State Championship honors. , He leaves Woodberry' this springwith the good wishes and commendation ofthe entire student body. 116 K :-F5 I :Apt 5 ff D ,Q I gig-.ac ,. .. f ,Q,', Q , if. mr- . fi. ,,asm,,,,,.N A. IVEY-Captain of 1926 Tmm LEFT GUARD The secret ofmost success in athletics lies in perserverance,in aggressiveness, in stamina, and the will to make mistakes mere stepping stones to better things. In following this uncom- promising doctrine, Bill has shown that size is by no means an indispensable asset, but that power is more truly the result of concentrated energy. The compliment paid him by his teammates in electing him captain of next year's eleven proves their recognition of the qualities which he has shown during two seasons of play on Woodberry teams-unsellish devotion to the spirit of team- work, indomitable fight, and clean sportsmanship. Bill will translate into action next fall whatever else that needs to be written. MOTLEY LEFT TACKLE When Hunter completed his second year of football, his prep rivals were convinced that the big fellow was capable of inflict- ing terrific punishment while maintaining a most serene and kindly manner. The ends whose job it was to box him in, found that theory was far easier than practice. Despite his watchful, waiting attitude, his hands were by no means idle, and thick pads failed to cushion the shock whenever ambitious opponents attempted to block him or circle his Hank. While not the flashier type of player, records will prove that yards made through or around l1im were few and far between. Next fall should find him a more experienced and aggressive tackle, and Woodberry is thankful that he will return, for Mot has won a large place in the hearts of friends who know him to be a modest, conscientious fellow as well as a good athlete. WYLLY, J. CENTER Smiling John might pass muster as a genial mascot when seen in company with a group of football huskies, but few would pick him as a candidate for the pivotal position. Sand- wiched between linemen whose proportions dwarfed his more fragile frame, this boy's fighting instinct enabled him to dis- count such an apparent discrepancy. His passing was accurate and properly timed, and his backs were relieved of all the worry which comes from erratic feeding ofthe ball. Nor was this his only virtue, for his aggressive work frequently made it possible for him to spill plays before his opponents got their offense under way. It will also be recalled that he used his head in breaking up passes behind his own line, thereby proving himself a good rover. Woodberry will be very fortunate at the start of the 1926 season, for her center returns to continue his good work. 117 K 1 IE it .. .2 ZALC .1 7 Q w Q 1 .

This back has football instinct above the average prep player, and his defensive work against passes made his leaping Lena interceptions a most pleasing sight to behold, incidentally lifting his team from some tight situations. Now that the listening rogues have sought the manner of his dialect, it is not at all improbable that his football lore may be transmitted to assembled multitudes next fall, for Strud returns to Woodberry, and he may be heard barking signals when the grand old game gets under way again. WHITFORD HALFBACK An insatiable thirst for higher learning caused Whit to enter Woodberry after graduating cum laudeu from his city high school. Not content with making high grades in his academic subjects-cum grano salis-he decided to continue his athletic career here. In looking back over the season's campaign, we note that Whit frequently played a versatile role. Where necessity re- quired, he could kick, pass, and run, but in the latter depart- ment he seemed surpassingly apt-as his famous reverse play demonstrated. His ability to receive passes enabled his team to break through stubborn defense in several games, and his whirling tactics gained him many yards after being met by his opponents. We hope to see him at Wood berry again next fall, when even better things may be expected of him. STOKES HALFBACK In the parlance of promising young sport writers, The Woodberry backlield was good despite the fact that Eve of the regulars came from Carolinaf, Charlie,togetherwith four other furriners, successfully answered the oft-heard query from Virginia, can any good thing come from Carolina? Oddly enough, the lightest man on the team drew a heavy assignment-thatofbacking up thelineg but Charlie managed to plug whatever holes his heavy line infrequently opened to opposing backs. His hard stabs frequently penetrated into the secondary defense of his rivals, for his legs drove like pistons, and much yardage came as the result of his punches. Next fall will find him back in harness at Woodberry, and the experience gained this season should make him a still more valuable player. Much good work should come from this boy in 1926. 118 :E I - LL' 1.45.1 2 G RATFAN HALFBACK Gorgeous George was shifted from end to backfield posi- tion at the beginning of the season, and his friends were justi- fied in predicting great things for him after his line-bucking had ripped great gaps in our opponents' forward wall, and his end running showed that he possessed the speed needed for rounding most any prep Hankers: nor is it in any way disparaging to the other backs to say that he proved to be about the best inter- ferer in the group. Then came a badly wrenched ankle which slowed him up perceptibly and prevented further participation until other backs had gained such headway that he reassumed his end play. though his services were used in emergencies at either position. If he leaves Woodberry this year. the school loses a valuable athlete: if he returns, look for a sweet running half back next fall. SMITH HALFBACK Another member of the Carolina Coltsn whose galloping and bucking tactics frustrated the efforts of Virginia broncho- busters when they sought to corral him. Fast, shifty, and scrappy player, he delivered the goods whenever his numberwas called, and his interference Work was of high order. Perhaps his most noteworthy performance was his touch- down during the closing moments ofthe V. E. S. game. During the dovvnpour which made the field almost a quagmire, and while the Episcopalians were making a stubborn stand within their thirty yard zone. 'KSmithy made his name well-known by catapulting himself twelve yards off tackle. then four more through the line, followed by his longest run around their. Hank and down the sideline until he cleared the last white line. He returns to his native state next fall, where he should con- tinue the good work and sustain the reputation he established at Woodberry. S1-IUFORD RIGHT GUARD When Bill assumed his fierce fighting face in preparation for action, no stranger could believe that he was as shy as the blushing violet, and as peaceful as the stars that peep from the skies overlooking the countless populace of his dear old city- Hickory, North Carolina. After serving his apprenticeship on the scrubs in 1925, he showed noticeable improvement at the beginning of the past season, and his work in later games justihed the belief that he would come through. His greatest virtue lay perhaps in his dogged perseverance, a quality which usually tends to get results in any difficult undertaking. This boy's heart seems to be set for further pursuit of learn- ing at the University ofNorth Carolina, and it is probable that he may some day be seen plugging successfully in the effort to realize the same ambition in college that he achieved at VVood- berry-holding his place on the varsity. 119 K 1 iii X -- ' - - 3.

He and Mot proved a formidable pair of tackles-the Scylla and Charybdis on which rival quarterbacks lost many a bark. His place kicking was most consistently accurate, in one instance proving the needed margin of victoryg and his punting enabled his team to remain in offensive territory during several games in which Captain Whisnant's services were lost-days when Bill likewise called signals from his position at tackle. He doubtless will enter Princeton next fall. and it is safe to predict that he will not soon forget the familiar fee1', of an Orange and Black jersey. FENNER RlGH'f END After playing an understudy role in the course of the whole of the 1924 season, Julian proved a valuable end in 1925, and his consistent work throughout enabled him to share largely in the satisfaction which comes to any team in the knowledge that no defeats were suffered during a hard schedule. A good tackler and blocker, he used himself to advantage both on the offense and the defense. He is one of the few three-letter athletes in school, and in basketball and baseball he has shown the same kind of energy and scrap that he demonstrated on the gridiron. He is likewise another ofthe flock ofCarolinians who return to join the Home- Guard next fall, and he leaves Woodberry with the favorable predictions and regards of his Virginia friends. HANCOCK LEFT GUARD During the 1924 season this Baltimorean showed that he possesed some football ability along with some vitiating char- acteristics which prevented him from showing to best advan- tage. Later in the year Charlie found it his painful duty to part with one of his useless irritations and the doctors removed his vermiform appendix when they likewise must have cut out some of his lackadaisical tendencies. Anyhow, his improve- ment during the 1926 campaign was such that his presence in several games added considerable punch in the line. We are ofthe opinion that this boy has possibilities which he has not yet realized. If his improvement next season is as marked as was shown during the last, the graduation of some of his teammates may be less fatal to the '26 squad than condi- tions may seem to indicate. 120 4 -11111 Q XD 2 ' I i l ki - r lr.-as-1 1 1 f 6 5 Q .E , am'-its:azz-..ggcfgx.,g.'ag--Y-x,.1xf,..-aw ,:,' -s -am-as., 4.121.515-af',1.f if .

He was expecially good at receiving passesg his Work in this particular gave his team an edge in several games during the past two years. Probably his most outstanding feat came during his last game, when he received the forty-yard pass from Whisnant and raced across High School's goal line, thereby clinching a hard game. He graduates from Woodberry this year, and his ability should enable him to remain on whatever freshman college squad he may join next fall. - i L . , i Lizsxsxzul 'I 121 512 N DWSKET HL E 'E ki E b-Z iii in , Q 7 Q 1.4 Y ,5,gf,a5--x,,,.f.g214'svaWMf.pf 41'-f ,Q --we af-in---I-ae-in rw... 1 . i 1- V, ,fa--are 0'--'-1--ff-A -.mye r s- v1L,.f- ' -4 1? ...wee ' - - - ll' Basketball Though other Woodberry basketball teams have shown more impressive records in the won-and-lost column than did the 1926 quintet, and though even the astound- ing total of points gathered by Captain Jones falls a little short of Jack Cobb's individual mark, it is doubtful if any team of former times can boast of providing a number of thrills equal to that furnished to those fortunate ones who had ring-side seats at most of the games on the 1926 schedule. Excitement is the meat upon which the paid admissions thrive, and excitement in basketball depends largely upon the closeness of the score. From the point of view of the spectator, if from no other, the past season must be regarded as a near approach to an ideal. An analysis of the 1926 scorebook reveals, among other things that few thrill-seekers would have been disap- pointed by following the team from game to game, either at home or abroad. If the Tigers refused to be beaten badly-with one exception, no opponent topped Wood- berry's score by more than six points-they also disdained to win by a margin greater than the smallest amount necessary. So it appeared, at any rate, to the distraught coaches, who chewed their nails and tore their hair while the Eve men on the Hoor played cat-and-mouse with a one-point lead, or lagged behind their weaker oppon- ents forthe mere joy oftaking the victory by an eleventh-hour burst of fighting speed. Only two of the season's fifteen games could be regarded as exceptions to the team's usual manner. Shenandoah College proved an easy victim, and the return game with Fishburne, played at Wayriesboro, provided the only thoroughly decisive defeat. The victories over John Marshall High School and Swavely, while less characteristic than most of the others, were never certain until the closing minutes, and elsewhere the WOOdbCl'l'y passers shared with their adversaries the honor of keeping a frantic gallery on their toes in a fervent prayer for the time- keeper's horn. The opening game of the season furnished a model for the majority of those to follow. The team, somewhat retarded in their early practice by remnants of football injuries, took the floor on January 12 against the Virginia Scrubs with the feeling that almost anything might happen. Captain Jones, at center, had had a year's experience as a regular, as had Wl11SI13l1t, again at forward, but the other players were relatively untried. Fenner was chosen to pair with Whiz,' at forward. Of the guards, Beard seemed to be the most likely prospect, in spite of a weak knee which had kept him off the court for more than a year. Nash and Barfield were waging a contest of speed against size for the odd position. At this stage of the season capable substitutes would have been conspicuous. Such was the team that jumped into its first game with enough of a rush to leave the arena at half-time on practically even terms with their older opponents. The rest did Woodber1'y no apparent good, and during the next quarter the Scrubs accumulated what looked to be a safe lead. Play was resumed after the breathing spell, and Woodberry's hopes faded as the swiftly passing minutes cut further and 1 125 -1-1 -lui 1 1 S 2 further into expectations of victory. Suddenly the Orange and Black players went mad, uncovered a smashing attack, and swept amid bedlam to an inspiring finish. Only a small fly marred the Forest ointment-the rally had been delayed just long enough to permit the Scrubs to leave the floor with a one-point victory. The Shenandoah game, already referred to, was next in line. The visiting collegians missed most of the large number of shots they took from the middle of the fioor, and the home team sank the close ones for a 38-11 win. The third successive home game of the season was played against Swavely. The boys from Manassas put up a great battle, but could not keep Jones from scoring on overhead shots, and the lanky center piled up a personal total of 18 before the scrap ended. Even so, it was only in the closing minutes of the contest that Whisiiant's two Field goals put the Orange and Black comfortably ahead, though the final count of 26-13 might seem to indicate an easily won game. It was at this juncture that the Oracle had set up a permanent head: JONES STARS. In three games this basket-crazy player had pushed his individual score to 46. The team drove through the snow to Richmond for the first away,' game of the season, and, led by Captain Jones, outdid themselves to turn in a 31-17 win over the Blue and White of John Marshall High School. Woodberry's lead was never headed after Julian and Al started the scoring with a brace of shots that never saw the rim. The Richmond five alternated their two trumps: Mann, and a wrecking crewn without success, while Jones was busy setting a season's record with his 19-point mark. Not the least enjoyable feature of the trip was the enter- tainment provided after the game at the home of the captain, Where Nash's blue eyes worked havoc among the beauties of Richmond. Massanuttevi came to Woodberry the ensuing week with a string of victories that left no doubt as to their ability. The home team knew what they were up against and set themselves to meet the onslaught. The result was an exhibition of close guarding that was not equalled during the rest of the season. Woodberry displayed enough passing to emerge from the 18-12 contest with her fourth victory in Hve starts. The following week, at Tome, the team got its first experience of rough basket- ball, and was unable to meet the new situation thoroughly enough to bring home the bacon. After both teams had bucked and battled their way through three-quarters of the game, Lott, Tome's star forward, got the range from the middle of the court, and more than matched Woodberry's efforts to bridge the gap which had separated the two scores throughout the greater part of the game. The count at the end was 25-19. The Staunton game, played at Woodberry on the Tuesday after the Tome affair, came near being disastrous to the home team. The Orange and Black not only dropped the contest itself, but also lost the services of Dale Beard, who had been stopping them all at backguard position. Nor was that all. Archie Jones received another thump on his already sorely tried nose, and furthermore ran into an attack of that fortunately rare complaint known as charley-horse of the stomach. The game alone would have been enough to make a hectic afternoon. Woodberry had evidently left all thought of basketball-as-it-should-be-played in the dressing room, and Staunton accumulated fifteen points almost before anyone else was aware that the game had begun. The Tigers, though still looking very spotty, then took a brace and held the visitors down to two more points While they raised 127 1 ' ge? L V w TTY Y 'Ti their own total to ten just as the half ended. The next fifteen minutes of play were noteworthy in that during that time the Woodberry basketeers showed an almost perfect defense. At the end of that time the score stood 17-17. The other side of the picture showed Dale being carried from the Hoot with one leg helpless, and Archie much the worse for the wear from the aforementioned assault on his cor- poration. The Cadets seized their chance and broke through the weakened defense for six points to turn what had become anybody's game into a 23-18 triumph. When the Woodberi'y aggregation stepped off the train at Manassas two days later, Jones still scarcely able to stand upright, a fact which Worked to Woodber1'y's disadvantage on that afternoon, but which really proved helpful to the season's record. Swavely, after their previous defeat, had conceded themselves only a slight hope for victory, but were nevertheless determined to make things as hot as possible for their guest. With Gordon Gray filling Dale's shoes in the line-up, Woodberry opened during the first period and amassed a small lead over the home team. Swavely came out of the trance after the intermission, however, and ran wild through the bewildered Foresters for enough points to put the game on the ice before the half-time knell sounded. Jones, who had hitherto been the Woodberry attack, was finding two guards and a low ceiling too much for his eye to contend With, so that he was able to score only eight points during the entire fray. In spite of a determined effort in the second half, Woodberry lost the game. The redeeming feature of the affair was the playing of Fenner, who, seeing his captain smothered, awakened to his own offensive responsibilities and whirled and twisted his way through the Swavely defense for three neat baskets, thereby changing an utter rout into a respectable defeat. Thus it was that the Staunton players who thrust a bony knee into Archie,s solar plexus unwittingly helped the Tigers on their way to a victory over High School. The 22-21 score of the next game gives an accurate description of the defeat meted out by Woodberry to Fishburne, the team which later became State Cham- pions. At the end of the week, V. E. S. furnished another scalp for the Forestmen, who journeyed to Lynchburg to take a victory that came more easily that the 23-18 score would seem to indicate. Jones and Fenner shared the limelight. A. M. A. then came over the mountains to help stage the most thrilling meeting of the season. The customary forty-minute bout was not long enough to settle the differences of the two contenders, and not until two extra periods had been played did the Tigers gain a well-earned decision. Woodberry trailed the hard-fighting cadets during the greater part of the regulation period only to knot the score at 16-all on Nash's foul, which slipped through the rim just before the finish. Jones missed what might have been the winning try after the whistle had ended the game. Five more furious minutes produced no results beyond a successful foul by each side, and then, in the second encore, little Al got loose and batted two passes to Julian who netted them both. These two goals and an additional foul from Jones were the margin of victory, for Augusta was unable to nick the stiff defense of the home team. The Augusta game was followed by two defeats, first at the hands of the North Carolina Freshmen-Hackney's second foul turned the trick hereg the second by the speedy Fishburne quint Whose earlier invasion had been so narrowly repulsed. Fishburne looked like a different team on their home Hoor, and cut through the visitors for a 26-11 lead at half time. Fenner got in some good licks in the rally ' 128 k X T i YlL -I E which featured the closing minutes, but the Wiaynesboro boys had no trouble in holding their already safe lead. and the game ended with Woodberry on the short end of a 39-22 score. Uncle Bim' Ruflin led the reserves to a win over Charlottesville High during the next week, while the regulars were putting on the finishing touches for the Episcopal game. After the usual preliminaries, the referee tossed up the ball for the beginning of the most gruelling encounter faced by the team all season -the game with Epis- copal High School. The Tigers' nine-point lead, gathered in the early minutes of the game, lasted only a few seconds after the Episcopal attack began to function, and once the scores were again on even tC1'mS, every additional counter was bitterly contested. Dale played a bang-up game until his injury in the closing minutes. Likker Gray took his place and carried on the good work. Scoring honors were divided by Jones and Fenner with twelve apiece, in their last appearance for the Orange and Black, while Whisnant's sharp cutting for the basket netted him a pair of timely two-pointers. Nash added to his usual speed a steadiness which greatly increased his effectiveness. Probably the most gratifying feature of the game Was the fine brand of concerted attack and defense displayed by the Woodberry team, who found their team-work more than a match for the individual efforts of their rivals. The Hnal score, 28-25, shows in itself to what extent the Orange and Black was pushed in running the season to a successful climax. So far, little mention has been made of the substitutes who, sadlylacking at the beginning of the schedule, developed by dint of hard work and perseverance into acceptable first string material. With the exception of Gordon Gray-Fanny's capable understudy-the two Bills, Ivey and Weaver, saw the most service. Charlie Chatham, Tom Craig, and Pete Ruffin graced the varsity ranks occasion- ally, and Billy Barfield was a contender for the guard position until a strained tendon put him out of the running. The list of those who wore the Orange and Black uniform at one time or another during the seasons is completed by the name of Jerome Thompson, who subbed for Jones until removed from active competition by scholastic difficulties. This line is dedicated to the unmentioned scrubs who shone by refiected glory alone. Strud Nash, stamped as a great guard by his work in the High School game, has been chosen to lead the 1927 quintet. Of the six present wearers of the W Captain Jones, Captain-elect Nash, Beard, Fenner, Gray, and Whisnant-he will be the only one to return for another Hing at the great indoor game. We wish him luck in his difficult task of leading a necessarily green team. In closing, the basketball team and squad of 1926 wish to take this opportunity to thank the coaches, Mr. Chadwick and Mr. Dick, for their untiring efforts, enduring patience, and arduous labor, which have tended to develop a team exceptionally Worthy of wearing the Orange and Black of W0OdbCfl'y on the court. 129 X 2: -Q X ' 1 Q rr : i N kr l W I f 1 C v , lp ' ' zap vm,-i W , - 1 JONES CENTER One glance at the scoring chart ofthe season is enough to show that Archer led his team this year by example as well as by precept. With a knack of throwing Held goals, developed by consistent practice in season and out of season, Archer led his team with 170 points. Without a doubt he became one of the best men on a crip shot that have ever represented Woodberry on the basketball floor. Because of his tangy build Archer has been playing the important center. position for two years. The fact that few opposing centers have been able to get the tip from him proves what he has done in this position. His offensive ability, however, was not aided by any shirking of defensive work, because on the defense Archer learned to do his job Well, and the way he went up in the air to guard his own basket kept many opponents from scoring. As Captain and as a hardworking determined player Archer's presence on the floor will be greatly missed next year. 130 5-, Q ,- D sl g tt U if awww fa xw.,w.yzs,a a1:.w.' 5-wa Q- -we ,,,' e -r vt waves' ei, l eps- .Q .-.,r, .1 s,,,,,.1 at a f e ev- NASH Capirzilz-flat! GUARD Strud came to us with a reputation as a basketball player. and well did he measure up to our expectations. With an air of coolness, joined by former athletic experience on the floor and Field, Nash used his speed to good advantage during the p3St season and won for himself the unusual distinction of making his basketball letter in his first year at Woodberry. Although 'fStrud had never played guard before, he learned his new duties quickly, and as running guard he played con- sistently well throughout the season. His natural ability aided by his splendid competitive spirit and his modest dis- position will aid him greatly next year in filling the position to which he has been elected as captain of the 1927 team. BEARD GUARD After filling in a most creditable manner the place left vacant by his brotherls graduation last year. Dale, in the seventh game ofthe season, had the misfortune to injure again a troublesome knee. The injury, however, sustained near the close of a game in which Beard, true to form, had performed most brilliantly, was not enough to keep him out of our last big game. On mere determination and nerve he entered the game against Episcopal High School, and, up until the last few minutes when he was injured, he displayed a brand ofdefensive basketball that has hardly been surpassed by former Wood- berry guards. Da1e's aggressive spirit and outstanding fighting qualities will certainly he missed next year. WHISNANT FORWARD The presence ofAlbert on the basketball floor as a letter man of the previous season meant that the coaches had a player whom they could depend on to do his very best at all times. And the best that Whiz gave during the past season was enough. Possessing a personality that would be an asset to any team and a characteristic modesty that aids in all team work, Albert displayed consistent ability in his offensive and defensive floor workg and, in the last big game especially, he came through with held goals that aided greatly in defeating Episcopal High School, the school against whom he had had the privilege of leading a victorious football team. 131 K 1 f slffmrrw :lg .Ju ,f 3 g in - Q , g : so 4'-16 ,si ' new sw 6 '21 'je n 7 in 'af A F fsflfiai as-vw W Y va 2' :mf :sa V ff-f fwrfswts I FENNER Fonwmzn As a real dark horse of the basketball season, Julian showed that his work of former years on the basketball squad had not been in vain. With a Fighting spirit that never failed him in any game of the season, Fenner started the first game of the year by playing well and finished his basketball career in a most commendable way by throwing six Held goals in the game with Episcopal High School. This last feat in itselfwould be enough to put Iulian's name high up on our basketball roll of honor, but it was only the culmination of a season well played by him in every way. When the season begins next year it will be hard indeed to fill the versatile place that Julian leaves vacant by his gradua- tion. GRAY GUARD Although handicapped by not possessing the usual sturdy build and physique which is expected of an athlete, Gordon gave us a good example of what can be done when there is enough determination in one to overcome all obstacles. Aided by the fact that he possessed a rare intelligence that enabled him to grasp quickly all ideas presented by his Coach, Gordon by his floor work and splendid defensive ability aided the team greatly in completing Z1 successful season. When the time comes again for assembling the basketball players, it will be hard to fill the place that Gordon made for himself by his intelligent fighting spirit. 132 f 2177 Yi X Y S 9 I zggf' f K 1 D Q Y Y Baseball The baseball season of 1925 was an in and out one. Overwhelming defeats at the hands of Augusta and Episcopal High School were partly counteracted by remarkable victories over Tome, Virginia Episcopal, and Virginia Freshmen. The totals for the season show five games won and nine lost, which might have been better. Coach Straley did well with the material available. With only three real veterans on hand, Captain Williiigham, Coxe, and Harry Beard, he had to switch one of these to a new position and fill in from a bunch of candidates which was far from exceptional. The line-up Hnally settled down about as follows :-Thomas and Nlarshall, pitchers, Howard and Lassiter, catchers, Lassiter and Dyer, First base, Willingham, second base, Coxe, short stop, Fenner, third base, Lewis, left Held, Harry Beard, center field, Whisnant, right Held, while Ivey, Lawrence, Gold, and Dale Beard were used as substitutes. The team had a hard time getting started. When the pitchers were right, the infield would blow up, and when the fielders were going nicely, the pitchers would have an off day. Not until the last game ofthe season did the team as a whole 134 QIMFIR L 'rfi-EE 2 F ,. D f 1 1 E I 3: T 1. i ' ' , L1 , -f f W, ' 5.53 .:,:af2'f-.,m,A:1,' -, - 1 .1 , '-vw-x..f,4i-iyw.v,.,.

At the close ofthe season gold baseballs were awarded to Harry Beard as the best batter and to Whisnant as the most valuable defensive player. Tom Coxe was elected captain for 1926, but as he did not return in September the members of last year's squad elected Minor Lewis to succeed him. Two other letter men are back, Whisriant and Fenner, along with some promising material from last year's squad, while the new boys are expected to furnish some likely candidates. Mr. Dudley, captain and star catcher of Hampden-Sidney College a year ago, will coach the 1926 team, and a fine season is anticipated. The record of the 1925 season follows:- WOOdbCl'l'y 2-Fredericksburg High School 4 Woodberry 3-Randolph-Macon Academy 4 Woodberry 6-Virginia Freshmen 1 Woodberry 10-Staunton Military Academy 9 Woodberry 6-Augusta Military Academy 14 Woodberry 6-Tome 4 Woodberry 0-Fishburne Military School 4 Woodberry 1-North Carolina Freshmen S Woodberry 9-Newport News High School 8 Woodberry 2-St. Christopher's School 3 Woodberry 2-Virginia Freshmen , 5 Woodberry 4-Episcopal High School 13 Woodberry 7-Miller School 11 Woodberry 1-Virginia Episcopal School 0 135 r W -I D , 5 -. tv by LEWIS LEFT FIELD Minor's rise has been meteoric. Ar the beginning of the 1925 season he was an awkward and in- experienced ball player. But by dint of hard work and close attention he developed by the end of the season into one ofthe most dependable men on the team, his hitting and fielding both being ofa high order. He well deserves his selection as captain, and under his leadership much is expected ofthe 1926 team. 137 K 1 -1 2 5. ad-1 K iw D WI H H WH ISNANT RIGHT FIELD Wl1iz is the real veteran of the 1926 team, with two seasons behind him. While a little weak at the bat, he has always been of value because of his sureness in the field, and last year he was awarded the gold baseball given to the best defensive player. His' hair-raising catches have given the crowd many a thrill, and it will be good to see him snagging them again this season. FENNER THIRD BASE A Junior League product, Julian made good in a hurry. He is death on grounders and thrown balls, and his rifle-like peg is mighty apt to get to first ahead of the runner. His hitting may not show up so well in figures, but he has a way of coming through in a pinch that makes him a most valuable asset to the team. 138 T , ' ' , fi, 1 ' I , 1- E1 X . 11:--. 1 ' N fi?

With the loss of only one meet, offset, however, by con- vincing triumphs in the C Club State meets, the Orange and Black set a remark- able record for the 1925 season, ably led by Captain Neely, one ofthe greatest hurdlers and sprinters in the State of Virginia. The loss of such men as Neely, Taylor, Cherry, Copps, Hayward, and White left but a few capable men to form the 1926 team, but with the addition of several new men and the development of the old, prospects are auspicious for the track team's success this spring. Captain Motley and Barfield in the weights, Rutherfoord, Wlmite, and Yar- borough in the hurdles, Smith, Beury, and Bodman in the dashes, Grattan and Cocke in the pole-vault, Divine and Davies in the 8805 and Nims in the mile, should prove invaluable to the team in coming meets, as all have previously shown their wares satisfactorily in several indoor meets during the winter term. 142 lsr ,- T 1 5. L-A -11 S i Qbe F Xb -I J As regards individual performers, Captain Motley and Grattan seem to be the shining lights and sure- point winners for the coming season. The former, holder of school records in all three weight events, will undoubtedly shatter his marks many times dur- ing the year. Judging from his present form, Grat- tan, holder of the schooll record at 11 feet 9 inches made last year, will set the vaulting world on Hre, and achieve his goal of 12 feet before the season comes to an end. The praise which usually goes to the coaches should be bestowed in all fullness to Captain Pritchett and Mr. Dick for their tireless labors and ability in turning out real track stars which Wood- berry is proudest of the proud to call her own. The Orange and Black team is assured of a most success- ful 1926 season with two such capable men as coaches. 143 KJ7 , gg ...- li E x, X l ,- f' 1 ' .1 : X 4 1 , Qlii V ti 4 I 21 NK yxa7X4 613, 2 fl6 'l'v' ,mm s.mmgss,gi,ma,a,'a,'.4e .ww -are 1 , 5' 1 MOTLEY Captain of19Z6 Track Tram The 1926 Woodberry track team claims as its captain a man who holds all three school weight records, established during the past two years. When it is known that this athlete has two more seasons in which to better his old records, there is natural conjecture as to what he will do before some college may claim him as one ofthe outstanding stars of Southern track competition. It is safe to predict that he will show considerable improvement during 1926, and those who follow track records of scholastic performers will End interesting data compiled during the Woodberry season. During 1927, when his form,' work should be entirely natural and reflex, no prep school weight man in the South need be conceded any margin of superiority over this home-grown product-a broad statement, but nor at all one which should be successfully contradicted. 144 X17 I 2 W :E 1' - x , z . , 4 lk l'xw5'Mmi'SX 'MW M 1 :?w-4.-ir:-r M- 31+ 4- GRATTAN POLE VAULT Grat, like his friend Macbeth, had no spur to prick the sides of his intent, but only vaulting ambition, which o'erleaped itself and fell on the other side. The Virginian's ambition, however, terminated more happily than that of the tempera- mental king, for his falls resulted in nothing more serious than a broken record when he Haunted his spikes to the sky and hung up a mark which would stand until he makes his next attempt to better his old height of eleven feet, six and one half inches which he established last field day. If some unforeseen accident does not prevent his further improvement, this crack track artist should soar to startling height this season, leaving his name and record inscribed on Wooclherry's memory for years to come. Should he leave Woodberry this year, some college will boast a real vaulterg should he return, he will continue to blaze the way for aspiring vaulrers.-a way which should be dillicult for rivals to Follow. 145 , f' ,Nl -, 1 A' K' 5- ' S? f .N 1 'X f ' F71 l f' W f W Y ff f x , K!! ! ,-, ,H , ww 2 Q Ig 3 gfwl Sf I D, ',,A , u v V N ' N fy g kj X AM S f 55 5 M' Sv 3 J UW M -5' a -:-::::-a-----: mf-M ' vf..N'R f f 'ZW X E E E E .Q I P !1Wf'4Zl ??f f 5 , ,. l , - V r K ,' 'Q' M V ' '7 ' M MAJ! fx f I N As M JM -f5i:.wf1- M .l:: Im 5 li.- ,L 1-5555: milf, I.

Gut of four matches played, three were won by over- whelming scores, while the last, played against E. H. S., was lost by a 4-3 margin. Fredericksburg High School was defeated 7-05 Central High School, of Washington, D. C., 5-0, and V. E. S., 4-O. Captain Jones, Monroe, McCaw, and Thompson were the members ofthe 1925 team. The prospects for this year's aggregation loom even brighter than those of last season as the spring approaches. Weaver and Davis, South-Atlantic Junior Doubles Champions, will doubtless be dependables on the team, and Baker, McDowell and Monroe have also shown unusual promise. ' Matches have been scheduled by Manager McCaw with several schools to date. St. Christopher's, V. E. S., S. M. A. Ctwicel, Tome, and E. H. S. have already been booked on the schedule, and matches with other prep schools in the state are pending. There will more than likely be a school tennis tournament in the spring, if the practice adhered to in former years is continued. From the semifinalists of this tournament the material for the 1926 team will be selected. This year, as in 'the two previous, the best doubles team will be sent to Charlottesville, Virginia, to participate in the State Meet. Last year Jones and McCaw lost in the Finals to a rural team, but after this year,if present appearances augur truths for the future,the cup will come to rest with its many cousins on the mantelpiece of the-Reading Room. Although the team lacks the services of a coach this year, due to Mr. Fitch's withdrawal to China, Archer Jones, Captain and star player for the past three years, will endeavor to instruct the tennis aspirants concerning the rudiments and funda- mentals ofthe game, and a successful 1926 season is not only hoped for but expected. 147 1 .

Woodberry is fortunate in having a splendid nine-hole course, which is steadily being improved. It is a very diflicult course, and those who hug par score are due recognition. In the spring of 1923, Woodberry Forest made her debut. The team of that year, which left behind 21 remarkable record,-was headed- by Watts Gunn,fnow runner-up for the National Amateur Championship. At the beginning of this year it was found that Leonard Hole and Robert Walker were the only two from last year's team to return. However, it was not long before several new boys were discovered who showed remarkable ability. Robert Archibald, who represented the municipal team of Jacksonville, Florida, probably will be the most valuable of these new-comers. John Fulton, who already has won several cups, will also have a chance to prove his ability on the links. 148 L.. it - Q 2 CQ -' '-- l 1 S1 ' A - C . wwf Q, ,,.m.1-smm,,,w..Wn . zettzarra . ,:-:w- 1 i or , W, ,. . not ,:: ssl M i zfezgrggwfrsrswfSz.4w2:1.w-, 'fan t L The feature matches of the year will be those with Lawrenceville and Tome, both of which are to be played at the Sherwood Forest Country Club in Baltimore.
