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

'29. hie F' th time of his entrance into Woodbe1r1'y four years ago until today Arc has iildtl chgnged in his willingness to work, his determination to do things exactly right, and his kind, jovial feeling toward others. His- force of character was made manifest by his election to Senior Prefect, the most important position held by a student. He distinguished himself first by attaining the Honor Roll on which his name has appeared con- sistently for four years. A boy who excels in literary . as well as athletic activities is a rare personage, but . such is Archie On the football field his smashing tackles brought woe to the back who was off balance. On the track team he pole vaulted until he had broken his arm twice, then he took up the discus and is showing excellent possibilities. NArchie's third year was interrupted by a fortu- nate event, a wonderful trip around the world with his father and one of his brothers. During the six months of travel Archie increased tremendously in size as well as knowledge. Consequently, when he 1'G'EHf11ed to school this year, he graduated from Second Stung f1U2l1'terback to varsity tackle. lmgftvveegrdane and Jim altchv has not received 1 ' , . . , - he WHTS .1Htlf1S leisure houis, but next year at the Universitv of North Cil1Ol1ll3 gl 111 ie one and be separated fiom the other.
