From the very Hrst day of his appearance at school five years ago, he has shown a keen and genuine likeness for athletics.

HERRERT FULLER CARROLL RALEIGH, N. C. Herb, Herbie,', Earl, Surg Graclf11c1,fe,' Junior Baseball '28-'29 j German, Club '28-'Q9,' .farmer Varsity Boslcetball Squad 'Q8,' Junior Basketball '28-'29, Herb7' has been at Woodber1'y only two years, but during these two years he has won the respect and admiration of his fellows by his congenial manner. He has been a staunch and loyal booster of every school activity, since he first entered Woodberry. His interest in school life has not for one instant been dulled by the carrying out of his own desires. His average always stays around eighty-five, and I while this does not show him to be a brilliant student, it marks him as a hard and consistent worker. A What book knowledge is lacking in 4'Herb's make- up is doubly supplied by his quantity of good old connnon sense, which has showed itself time after time. Herb7' has not been a splendid athlete who has made four letters and is a star in all sports, but z Minn he has made up for this by the interest which he has shown on every athletic squad of which he has been 'w---w a member. He has played Junior Basketball and WT' Baseball, and no enthusiasm of his has been lacking in Tennis and Golf. ,,.,f-ff Wlieii the doors of Wooclbe1'1'y are opened for the 11ineteel1-twellty-nine-thirty, He1'b's absence will be heavily felt. He is ,going to the University of North Carolina next year to complete his education. llle can look forward to seeing him enjoy the sanie success which has marked his career here at WOOClll91'1'y, and which has been won for hint by the place he holds in the heart of every VVoodberry boy.

SHEPHERD ROYSTER OOOKE NORFOLK, VA. KISILGPJPJ KIOQZJIJ ffLefty?! FIVE YEARS .Midget Football and Baseball '24,' Junior Football and Baseball '25,' Traclc Squad '28,' German- Club '26, '27, '28, Five years ago Shep came to Woodbe1'ry, a silent, young rat. Since then he has gained the respect of all his fellow students because of his sincerity and his unobtrusive manner. '4Oal has always had a loving for the out-doors as may be seen by his propensity towards hunting and horseback riding. Until this year he went hunting as often as possible during the season with Edward Baird. Last fall he found a way to satisfy his fondness for riding ' fifli if ltfiiip when he met the owner of some very Hne horses, who . -iiut .Q i ,,,, lives near the school. , s, if f Q as . Although Shep has never represented W0Odb91'1'y V 4 'J on a varsity team, he showed his fine school spirit 3 f f on the mid-get teams his first year and later, on the , 2 1 ,gg Q5 W 1 junior teams and the track squad. u 4 4,221 .3 Though his name does not appear on the Honor f g , ee- -awww . , Eoll, he is. known as a hard worker by those who 5 Q51 ts. live near him, and he has always stood high in the 5' rt'ril 5 K-,y r . ... . .... esteem of his masters. H irl 4'Oal has always appeared to be rather indifferent towards the fairer sex, but his fellow townsmen will A 1 , have it that there is a certain young lady who seems ' I iiii i'li ,X lm to have overcome this indifference. And we have also heard that there is a girl in Orange. As yet '4Shep'l has not decided what he will take at Virginia next year, but we have heard him say that he thinks he will concentrate on Law. We wish him great success in whatever he decides upon, and we are sure that he will succeed. Good-bye, '4Oal, and Good Lllclll Twenty-seven
