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

f- :E -- j 1 gi WILLIAM DIENHAM BARFIELD JACKSONVILLE, FLA. KlBiZl3!l5 ONE YEAR fastball Squad, '26. Greatness know: itself. 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-

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. U' I 7 G' Best ofluck to you, old boy, and remember that the regards and best wishes of your fellows follow you forever. ...Q ,Je- 4' N .MQW 51 . 4 'V -' , K T sd, .3-,E - gf. 22:1 .aj K., .- V, h A.
