During his three years at Woodberry, Howard, in his unobtrusive manner, has proven an important asset. Concealed under his congenial, carefree personality is a grim determination which has enabled him to rise above the ranks in every phase of school life. Howard showed this determination in his work on the track team more than in anything else, missing his letter last year by a slim margin. This year, however, he is practically cer- tain to make one, and few will be more deserving, as his natural ability coupled with diligent work will make him truly valuable to the team. Pash, a Prefect, and prominently connected with the FIR TREE and Omrle Boards, as well as being an excellent student, may honestly consider his stay at Woodberry a complete success.

Q46 1937 Cl QW Chick MOSBY GOODING CARDozo RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Mosby's departure this June will leave a terrific gap in almost every form of school activities, athletics, and administration. Seldom is Woodberry so fortunate as to have such an all-round boy in every way as this year's Senior Prefect. Chick knew everybody and treated everybody, from the smallest rat to his best friends, in a generous, friendly manner. No one was ever more Welcome or more in demand anywhere. Possessing the true versatility of a natural athlete, he earned the distinction of being a three-letter man last year as well as this, While as captain of football for the past Fall he Hlled his station so well that he Was placed on the All-State prep eleven. The good judgment, sound character, and Winning personality so predominant in him here should certainly carry Mosby far 'at the University of Virginia. -asgf 24

QQ 1937 cle Qzee R111 Light JAMES GIBBONS CORBETT BAY CITY, TEXAS Ever since the spring of 1935, when he carried away all kinds of honors in every track meet, Gibbons has been impressing everyone at Woodberry with his ability and output in every line of endeavor. This year as a Prefect and Captain of the track team he has amply fulfilled the promise he showed as a rat, With Prince- ton as a goal he has been one of the hardest workers in school along scholastic lines and completes with gradua- tion a record of always having kept in the upper fourth of his class. Like most Texans l'Gibbony was not ef- fusiveg but he had many friends who were drawn by his modesty, sincerity, and steadfast defense of what he believed. These qualities, combined with his many other tal- ents, should make him one of the Schoo1's most outstand- ing alumni in college and the years to come. -..,.,Qf 2 5
