Q46 1937 Cl QW I Billy WILLIAM WILLS GREEN TARBORO, NORTH CAROLINA Bill is one of those boys who has worked silently in the background and somehow failed to get the credit that he deserves. Having been vitally interested in his duties of directing the photographic department of the FIR TREE and operating the moving picture projector on Saturday and Sunday, Bill has had his time reserved months in advance. However, he has been able to make his scholastic record one continuous climb since his entrance last year. His opening average, good at eighty-four, soon reached a ninety per cent level which placed him second in his form. It is virtually an assured thing that Bill is headed for a brilliant technical career. Woodberry's loss of one of his type will ever be keenly felt. -..gif 2 3

During his three years at Wfoodberry, John's out- standing achievement was the organization of a school orchestra. The School had long been in need of just such an addition to its extra-curricular activities, and Jan Dumanoffn led the way. In the face of many difficulties and even ridicule, John set about his task in an enthusiastic and wholehearted manner. After much hard work he succeeded in producing an orchestra which was certainly a credit to the School. Instead of specializing in any particular sport, John took part in them all. He was a member of the foot- ball, wrestling, and tennis squads and even found time for golf. John's friends and the bridge playing contingent of the Smoking Club will miss his particular kind of humor. They wish him the best of luck. l JOHN Hicks DUMAS TALLADEGA, ALABAMA 27 0015671 Clwiiddi

The necessity for spending more time than usual on his school work has kept him out of athletics somewhat. Although he possesses the ability to do Well in sports, he has been unable to discover his particular calling and as a result has engaged in almost every sport the School can offer. Such varied participa- tion has enabled him to attain a very commendable physique. Always cheerful and friendly, Bobby nevertheless did not circulate around much, but spent most of his time with a group of boys who were equally interested in che outdoors.
