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.

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

Hor.re,' Charlie FIVE YEARS Football W,,' '24, '25, Football Squad, ,23,' Bafketball Squad, ,25, '26, Track Squad, '25, '26,' Chapel Council, ,26,' General Athletic Arfoeiatiou Board, '26, Choir, ,23, '24, '25, ,26,' Prefect Board, ,26,' German Club, '23, '24, '25, '26. 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
