J im came to Woodbe1'ry four years ago from the St. Albans School in Washing- ton, and in that span of seasons he has more than contributed his bit to VVoodberry athletics and various forms of school activities. There can be no denial of the suc- cess which has rightly been his. Football is this boy's pet hobby, and for the past two years he has proven himself to be one of the greatest ball carriers in the annals of interscholastic football history. Jim's athletic activities are not limited to the grid- iron, for he is the featured member of the track team, consistently placing in the shot put, javelin, dash, and broadjump events. Mamie is one of the most popular boys in school. A congenial nature, a ready wit, and a famous laugh, not to mention an endless knowledge of songs and poems are outstanding characteristics of his make-up. In school activities there is no end to Jimls achieve- ments. For two years he has served as the President Of the Cr. A. A. and as a member of the Senior Council and the Prefect Board. Other accomplish- ments include, Presidency of the Senior Class, Pres- idency of the VV Club, Oracle Board, Choir, and the Glee Club. '4Maje,s7' stay at WVoodberry has been exceedingly well spent, and his career at Virginia, which he enters next fall, will be watched with interest by his many friends here and at college.

In the fall of '25 when Bobby arrived at the school, he was designated at the beginning to become one of the most popular boys in our midst, and toward this designation he has succeeded vvorthily. A glance at the list of his nicknames is proof enough of his popularity among us all. Handicapped by a badly cartilage-torn knee which he received in a football scrimmage, and which later resulted in a very severe operation, Rob was hindered in his athletic en- R-1 'iii deavors, however, he has been a very valuable mem- ber of the Basketball squad for the past three years, his knee injury having entirely prevented participa- tion in any of the other major sports. I Robbo's ready Wit has often kept small gather- ings ot boys in the corridors in uproarious laughter, and .his grades show an equivalent efficiency in his studies. In school activities 4'Bobby has also taken a great interest, being the most efficient president of the Hop Qommittee seen at Woodbe1'ry in recent YG-H1'S5 besides being manager of the great 1928 uHSC01'ed'Ul5011 eleven, and a member of the FIR TREE Board.
