It was organized principally for the administration and safeguard- ance of the Honor System, still its most important responsibility. However, as the School increased in size and the Board became larger, gradually its power and influence widened. New responsibilities were entrusted to its members as the years went on until today the Prefect Board stands as an influential governing body whose principles of honor and high moral code have become deeply engraved in the foundation of the School. Because of its authority, in name only is the Woodberry Forest Prefect Board akin to any other student administrative body of preparatory schools in this country. Consequently, many times the parents of boys have questioned the advisability of placing such extensive responsibilities solely in the hands of a group of students. The most significant answer is that each increase of power has been made at the request of the entire student body, and that former years of successful administration have established confidence in such a system. Heading the Prefect Board is the Senior Prefect. This post has come to be the highest honor the School offers and is one which calls for a boy of sound character and able leadership. In 1924 the Senior Council was organized into whose hands fell the ultimate authority of all important irregularities. However, the prefects who did not hold a place on the Senior Council began to feel that their duties consisted solely of dormitory inspections. Accordingly in the spring of 1933 measures toward reorganization were started. The result of this was the present-day prefect system. The board was divided into four committees, the Honor Committee, the Smoking Committee, the Old Boy Committee, and the New Boy Committee. At the head of each of these committees was placed a member of the Senior Council. The result is that each prefect now has a definite function to fulfill. This revised system makes of the Prefect Board a conjunctive unit which works in cooperation with the members of the Senior Council and the Senior Prefect. 21 THE FIR TREE 1938 Back Row--H.

This was likewise true throughout the year just gone as 'lBarney paced the Sixth Form with an average high above ninety. Not only in lessons has john shown his ability but in football and wrestling as well. In the latter sport, due to the fine showing he made in the 175 pound class, he won his letter in the season of 1938. His eagerness to learn and his conscientious attitude toward any undertaking into which he ventured gave him these distinctions- first class wrestler and Honor Roll student. Barnyard found time to join both Book and Current Events Clubs. In his senior year he took a major part in the mid-winter production of the Dramatic Club. This in itself was quite a stren- uous undertaking. Moreover, his attentions have also been directed to the School publications, the Omrle and the FIR TREE, No one at Woodberry has gained more benefits from his school activities than has john. 28 JOHN J. BARNHARDT, JR CONCORD, N. c. NBARNYARD WOODBERRY FOREST MAXWELL BAXTER, JR. FT. LAUDFRDALI2, FLA. MAX l Two years at Woodberry has enabled Maxwell to confer much effort upon the academic side of school life. He has likewise been vitally inter- ested in all outside activities and has shown by his fine acting in the Dramatic Club that his ability matches his enthusiasm. Perhaps Maxwell hasn't made his associations as all-inclusive as he should have, but after all the only real friendships the world over are made with those of kindred tastesg and Woodberry has lacked for a long time a large group of boys more interested in dramatics, music and other such phases of artistic expression. Talented musically, Max devoted much of his time to studying piano and improving his taste in musical appreciation. For two years he was a valuable member of the choir, singing usually second tenor. As regards physical activities, Maxis chief interest has been in horseback riding. He is an accomplished equestrian now and bids fair to become an expert in days to come. When he departs in june, the Faculty and stu- dents alike will follow with interest the future pathways of this talented individual. 29 THE FIR TREE 1938 Hailing from the hills of Arkansas, Dave was playfully designated by his friends as the Sage of the Ozarks. Whether or not he deserved this appellation, he proved himself a more than com- petent student, consistently averaging in the up- per fourth of his class. Probably it was his easy- going nature and slow, friendly drawl that gained him his nickname and made him one of the best known and well liked boys in school. Although Dave's scholastic marks were im- pressive, a large part of his time was devoted to his duties as a member of the Dramatic Club and Current Events Club, while every morning and afternoon found him at work in the post office. Here the genial face of Farley sooner or later became familiar to every boy. Because of his natural liking for athletics, the remainder of his time was given to track and wrestling, two sports he particularly liked. Next year at the University of Arkansas Dave's determination and healthy optimism should gain him the same respected place among his fellows that he has always held at Woodberry. 30 DAVID BLOCK, JR WYNNE, ARK. HDAVEH WOODBERRY FOREST MONTAGUE BLUNDON, JR CHARLESTON, W, VA. HMONGOOSEH l . In his last year Mongoose fa name derived from his wrestling tacticsj was the third member of the famous triumvirate of Warren, Lewis, and Blundon. Out of this group have issued numer- ous mad-cap expressions which have brought the trio fame and wide popularity. Monty is a pretty small boy when one stops to consider a football player, but it is a cinch that he can stand up with the roughest of them. Al- though he just missed making his letter in this sport, he deserves a world of credit for his de- termination and steady improvement and finally for some outstanding performances in varsity com- petition. Entering upon his second year of wrestling, Monty carried that same fight into this sport and was ultimately awarded his letter for his work in 135 pound class. Graduation brings an end to all of this and likewise deprives Woodberry of one of its most delightful boys. 51 THE FIR TREE 193 l In the same sense as some boys devote their time to building up the School's athletic prestige, HBoaqf'hasexeMed atrmnendousinduenceinthe promotion of the Omrle, the Prefect Board, and the Hop Committee. Quite a talented individual, he has been a leading figure in musical develop- rnentin the School dunng the pam two yeaw. Then too, some sort of mention should be made of his artistic contributions to the Dramatic Club, without which the scenery would indeed have lost a good deal of its effectiveness. There is no need to play up Bobby-Mack's quahdes for any appredadon that he rnay have failed to receiveg for he has won for himself a vast number of friends, and all are conscious of his Worth. A pre-medical course at Washington and Lee is his present plan, and it should be of interest to see just how far Bobby will go. What greater powers he possesses remain to be seen, but it is certain that another such boy will be hard to find and will be more than duly welcome to Woodberry. 32 8 ROBERT M. BOATWRIGHT DANVILLE, VA. BoATY TAZEWELL M. BOTT NORFOLK, VA, HTAZZIE J! WOODBERRY FOREST Tazewell has offered a unique personality to all who have in any way patronized his friendship. No one has been more informal and genuinely enthusiastic in his capacity for making new friends and maintaining old ones. It is doubtlessly of no great consequence that Tazewell has not cared a great deal about routine school athletics. Nevertheless, with his reputa- tion as an excellent golfer firmly established, he has expended his excess energy in the off-seasons cutting down all the decayed tree matter within the neighborhood with a view toward increasing the power of his shots along the fairway. Tazzie has evinced a constant and tenacious enthusiasm in his contributions to the Current Events Club and Rifle Club. If it were not for his sustained efforts, the former would doubtless- ly have lost some of its vigour, while the rifle- men would not have been quite so successful as they were. It is just such a boy as this who helps to make an institution well-rounded, and he is sure to fit easily into any type of endeavor that he may have in view for the future. 35 THE FIR TREE 1938 Henry has developed more in three years as an athlete and a scholar than many boys do in twice that time. There is something phenomenal in Ching Foo's progress on the track field. Those here in 1936 will remember a skinny, stiff-legged boy struggling around the track some- times a hundred yards back of the nearest half- miler. Now he holds the Virginia Prep School record in the mile! Ching's scholastic rating has followed the same course, although his improvement in this field has not been quite so startling as in ath- letics. Nevertheless, he has lifted his grades from the lower levels of his form and has found time in addition for participation in the Dra- matic Club and the Choir. It is in the latter organization perhaps that his absence next year will be most keenly felt. At all times Henry has picked out the course that suited him and in a determined manner has gone on to success. There is no reason why he should not carry on his good work at North Carolina next year. 34 HENRY BRANCH SHANGHAI, CHINA cH1NG Foo WOODBERRY FOREST T. B. HYNsoN BROWN LYNCHBURG, VA. WEBB Hynson came to Woodberry four years ago and set about his work quietly and efficiently. He has maintained his efficiency ever since, and by way of a far greater accomplishment, he has de- veloped an unparalleled personality. Unparalled because no one can be quite as original and spon- taneous in situations that would otherwise ap- pear very drab and uninteresting. Whether or not this great amount of energy is the result of having continually to rush about answering the telephone in the front hall, is beyond simple analysisg it is far more practical to suppose that it has always been his nature, though dormant for a while in the past. Certain it is that Hynson has made many friendsg he has been ever welcomed wherever he has wandered. School work, too, has held great interest for H. Brown. With chemistry in mind he plans to study at Virginia for awhile before entering upon a course of specialization at Cornell. Those who realize the value of sincerity and true friendship express the hope that he may obtain the greatest measure of success and happiness. 35 THE FIR TREE 1938 jim graduates with a reputation for genuine- ness and sincerity. Whereas he may have been slightly hampered in his first year by a quiet- ness and reserve, he has now proved what a line companion he can be to everyone and has accord- ingly made a great deal of well-deserved friends. In his final year jim has given ample evidence of his determination by keeping Hve major sub- jects well under control. On the athletic field, he has shown that he can take rough treatment along with the rest of them. Two years on the junior Varsity football squad, in the latter of which he saw considerable service in outside com- petition, are a fine credit to his efforts. In all respects jim has shown an eagerness to cooperate, and the Dramatic Club in particular has him to thank for a great deal of hard work on its usual fine stage settings. A boy as diligent as jim is pretty certain to carry this spirit into his chosen profession, and such a boy shall always have the good wishes of everyone at Woodberry. 36 JAMES L. CAMP, III FRANKLIN, VA. frJIM11 WOODBERRY FOREST AUSTIN HEATON CARR DURHAM, N. cz. AUTO Easygoing, jovial, unpretentious, and hard- working are the best terms with which to de- scribe Austin. Of his congeniality and good nature a great deal was discerned from his first treatment of the eternally harassing pun made on his name. His stubborn resistance to dithculties and his desire to do a good job have, of course, manifested themselves throughout all of his time at Woodberry. The opportunity to congratulate Austin for his job in the capacity of Hop Committee President cannot be neglected. In addition to that respon- sibility, which has been so ably handled, Austin has maintained the high standard set by other competent boys in the managerial position of the FIR TREE advertising department. Scholastically, except for one blemish, Auto has done extremely well, and, just as he has attained high success along this line, his good nature and ability to add a touch of humor to every situation have won for him an ever-enlarging group of friends. He leaves here to join an already large group of Wfoodberry Alumni at the University of North Carolina. 37 THE FIR TREE 1938 jack may be truly called a son of Woodberry, for Woodberry has been home to him for nearly six full years. During this time he has grown from a little fellow whose shirt-tail was forever hanging out and whose knickers seemed most at home around his shoe tops, into one of the Schools most prominent leaders. Wheii thinking of jack Castles, one's mind in- variably turns to wrestling. For he is beyond doubt one of the best matmen Woodberry has ever had. A state champion last year, he gained the same crown this season and likewise cap- tained the team to the Virginia prep champion- shi . Ili great deal must necessarily be said about such ability, and yet a great many other points could easily be missed: such as the fact that jack was a fine little football player and a baseball player as well. jack has put forth his very best efforts as a member of the Prefect Board, and he has reaped the profits of his endeavor through the acclama- tion of his many friends. 38 JOHN W. CASTLES, III CONVENT, N. J. rfbJACKfJ WOODBERRY FOREST HUGH GWYNN CHATHAM XYIINSTON-SALEM, N. C. rrHUGHr1 N A It would not be keeping strictly to the truth to say that Hugh is intimately known by every- one in school. Nevertheless, all who have had the barest semblance of good humor and vivacity about them have either gained a laugh from Hugh's pranks or a demerit for having shared in them! Notwithstanding the fact that Hugh really and truly has the record for joke-making, practical and impractical, he has evinced staunch, unwaver- ing ability throughout all of his duties. His greatest job has been in editing the Oracle, an honor for which he has repaid the School mani- foldly. Many incidents have gone by unob- served in which the most boisterous prefect has evidenced loyalty and cooperation unsurpassed. The biggest factor in Hugh's athletic life has been track, and he is developing himself steadily into a line half-miler. It is a boy of this type that can leave school and face life with confidence of success, since hard work and friends, the two prime factors, are assured. 39 THE FIR TREE 1938 As Senior Prefect for 1958 Howard has taken the greatest honor which the School can offer, along with its accompanying responsibilities, with that customary modesty and quietness with which he has carried oft' so many honors while at Wood- berry. The spirit of rendering service has been instilled in Pash, and this has been largely responsible for the manner in which he has given the School a year of successful administration. It goes without saying that Howard's warm con- geniality and friendliness have made him one of the most popular and respected boys in School, not only in restricted circles, but throughout the entire Student Body as well as the Faculty. Howard has gone about all his tasks with a seriousness and a grim determination which have rewarded him athletically as a mainstay on both the football and track teams. An assistant editor- ship of the FIR TREE, as well as prominent activities in the Book Club and the Current Events Club, together with his high scholastic average, have completed one of the most rounded careers at Woodberry. 40 HOWARD PAYNE CONWAY, JR PROVIDE NCE, R. I l HPASHU WOODBERRY FOREST J. HARRISS COVINGTON HIGH POINT, N. C, 'QQ HGUTH Harriss' long career at Woodbe1'ry has been in every way outstanding. Ever since those autumn afternoons in the dim past when he made a habit of lengthy touchdown runs against his midget opponents, he has been advancing steadily in prowess and influence. His Sixth Form year now finds him a leading figure in all phases of school life. Smiling, and ever agreeable, he has never per- mitted his success to surmount his natural modesty and friendly personality. Few boys have been as prominent as Harriss in so varied a field of activi- ties. With seven letters to his credit, his career in athletics has been consistently outstanding with the climax coming last fall when as football cap- tain he turned in one of the smartest jobs of quarterbacking seen here since the days of Billy Mason. Among his honors should be mentioned the presidency of the G.A.A., senior wardenship of the Chapel Council, and member of the prefect board of Senior Councilmen. Even in the face of all this varied activity, Harriss has remained on the Honorable Mention list throughout. 41 THE FIR TREE 1938 Although quiet and reserved in nature, Bill easily fitted in his surroundings, and though his presence was not always obvious, yet his absence would have been felt almost instantly. His un- assuming modesty kept him out of the limelight in which he might otherwise have basked, but his firm convictions and unpretentious manner won him staunch friends. It was in track that Bill took especial delight, and his Wiry legs carried him up among the fore- most of Woodberry's runners. The same con- scientiousness and determination that brought him to the fore as a sprinter usually kept him ahead of studies which might have discouraged a less determined person. But his chief interest lay in the social activity of the Smoking Club, where by unanimous choice he was made Honorary janitor, a position coveted by every member! This club has listened to many a tale of monstrous dimen- sion concerning insects and Oldsmobiles, the audi- ence held spellbound by the words of Spider', Cram. The spirit and ability of such a boy should carry him far in the years to come. 42 WILLIAM C. CRAM, III ATLANTA, GA. sprout Woonssmzv Fonssr y O. EDWIN CUMINGS, JR. ONEIDA, N. Y. l AVYANKEEH A n Ned comes from Oneida, New York, and is proud of the fact. He came to school with the Northern brogue thick upon his tongue and has apparently kept it in spite of his surroundings. At the very outset this Yankee came in for a good bit of vigorous kidding, but those who came to scoff remained to make friends , it was clearly evident that Ned considered the Civil War over and wasn't going to let anything like that get his goat. Ned has spent his two years at Woodberry wisely and has gained a well-rounded preparatory school education. His scholarship has been well above the average, as evidenced by the fact that so many boys this year have passed their English History course on his last yearls notes. Although refraining to some extent from par- ticipation in sports during his first year, he has shown a lively interest this session in football, basketball, and baseball and has done well in all. Everyone who has come to know Ned is genu- inely fond of him and experiences regret in bid- ding him farewell. 43' THE FIR TREE 1938 Ashby was fortunate in that he realized, while at Wooclberry, that he was spending his happiest days and seemed to instill a little of this feeling into everything he did. Having shown clearly his athletic and scholastic possibilities in his first yeah he devdoped uno both a hne addew and a fine scholar in his Sixth Form year. For his work on the football field Ashby should be especially commended, as each encounter saw a steady improvement in his playing. It took the Episcopal High game to bring forth his most outstanding performance of the season against odds that were overwhelming. He was likewise a diligent worker on both the wrestling and track squads. Witli the varsity grapplers at W. and L., under a great weight handicap, he was defeated only aher putnng up one ofthe bex exhdnnons of the day. Ashbys school wmnk and addenc obhgauons occupied most of his time. However, this did not keep hnn fronitaking a pronnnent partin the choir, where he for two years sang with the barhones and basses 44 JOHN ASHBY Dick SUMTER, S. C, HASHBYH JOSEPH B. EFIRD, JR.

This enthusiasm finds its widest outlet in photography. For three years joe has been supplying shots of the community and faculty for both the FIR TREE and the Oracle, Much of the interesting and varied photographic work in this volume of the FIR TREE has been supplied by the Leica of this wide-awake candid snapper. In all his endeavors joe has attempted through perseverance to place his accomplishments on the highest plane possible. Three years on the Rifle Team has made him a crack marksman. In the important role of scholar Bef has like- wise achieved success. He has been an Hon- orable Mention student for three years. Accord- ingly it may be seen that his value to the School rests on concrete evidence rather than on cant or show. With the lively interest that he has in people and a varied field of enterprises, he is cer- tain to make a name for himself wherever he goes. 45 THE FIR TREE 1938 Baxter is the kind of boy whom everyone likes to have around. The only regret is his all too brief sojourn of two years. Entering school in the Fall of '36 none too well prepared scholas- tically, he managed by dint of tremendous effort to advance his grades gradually until at the close of the session he had won a place in the upper quarter of his form! This year he has managed to maintain this energetic pace which is equaled only by enthusiasm for Woodberry and his many friends. A serious eye injury kept him out of football, but just to do his part he accepted the position of assistant manager and spent the past fall keep- ing Means and jefferson up to par in their work. Workirig hard on the mat throughout his first winter, he came into his own this year as a regular 155 pounder. For two seasons he has been a field event man on the Tiger track team. Maxie plans to continue his work at Davidson among a large group of Woodberry friends. 46 BAXTER P. FREEZE HIGH POINT, N. C. HMAXIEU WOODBERRY FOREST DAWSON ORME GEORGE DENTON, Mn. HDAXVSONU In three years Orme has developed from a member of the junior Football team to one of the cogs of the varsity, from a novice wrestler to a mainstay of Wootlberry's state champion grap- pling team. Possessed of much ability along these lines, Orme has worked hard and is highly deserving of the success which he has attained. A Prefect in the Tabernacle, Dawson will be remembered as the boy who started things Off for Mr. Dandridge during the study hour. Capital- izing on his pleasing personality he has made many friends around Woodberry, which fact has made his sojourn here one of pleasure and en- joyment because of the fact he fits himself to situations and always manages to have a good time. Orme is the type of boy whom it is fun to be with. In leisure hours D.O.G. may usually be found pufling away at a cig in the Smoking Club, of which organization he is a leader. Although not an outstanding student, Orme has contributed much to Woodberry, in many important ways which have brought into promi- nence his fine character. 47 THE FIR TREE 1938 In Edmund Woodberry is losing one of its most talented entertainers. For three years now he has been the envy of everyone who would like to play a piano, or shoot 75 or better on the golf course, and yet can't put forth the unlimited effort that both require. Still another publicized accomplishment of this young Richmonder-there may be a deal more still unknown-is an extra- ordinary ability at tap dancing, or any other kind of dancing for that matter, that the School has not had profit more from his artistic It is unfortunate the opportunity to abilities. Let it be understood, however, that his departure will take with it much of Woodberry's talent. The same diligence which he exercised in pursuit of his musical accomplishments gained him an Honor Roll standard in his studies. Much of his smooth wit and humor added to the en- joyment of his fellow Smoking Club members. When all's said and done, Edmund will un- doubtedly win an equally great number of friends and admirers, no matter which college he decides to enter. 48 EDMUND K. GRAVELY RICHMOND, VA. ffEDJ.Y WOODBERRY FOREST CHARLES CECIL HALL, JR. RICHMOND, VA. USONNYU Sonny has been very successful at Wood- berry, both in extra-curricular activities and schol- arship. Through his diligent work as Sports Editor of the FIR TREE, as an actor in the Dra- matic Club, and for the past two years as bari- tone and bass in the rejuvenated Woodberry Choir, he has acquired a reputation for originality and ability. Although he possesses a keen interest in ath- letics and enjoys them to the fullest, he has not concentrated his efforts on any one sport. As a result, he has engaged in nearly every physical activity, with football and track predominating. In all of his two years at Woodberry, how- ever, one of Charlie's outstanding characteristics has been a ready willingness to make friends and an ease and enthusiasm in retaining them. From the standpoint of a cheerful personality he has no equal. When walking through the corridors he has a word of greeting for everybody. A keen interest in other people coupled with his perseverance make of him an outstanding boy. 49 , -W --V .Y THE FIR TREE 1938 The list of organizations which follow Lee's name in the Who's Wfho is the key to his person- ality, as unusual as it is interesting. Lee is a mem- ber of the German, Book, and Dramatic Clubs and also an enthusiastic golfer. These various interests instantly label him as a savant and sophisticate. No boy in school is more widely traveled nor better informed than he, and it naturally follows that he is an inde- pendent thinker as Well. His viewpoints and ideas are well formed and Well expressed with the nrm courage of his convictions behind them. Therefore it is an obvious consequence that Lee is a necessary requisite and voluble mainstay of the Book Club. He can talk so expressively with his hands that how he has escaped a speaking part in the Dramatic Club is a mystery! He has certainly filled a place among the stu- dent body that will be the more vacant when he leaves because there are so few who can fill it as adequately as he did. 50 LEE M. HAPP, JR MACON, GA. .4 HLEEU WCODBERRY FOREST FRANK BORDEN HANES XWINSTON-SALEM, N. C. FPPETEJI l , Y In his quiet reserved way Frank has won a much respected place for himself at Woodberry and has steadily developed into a dependable member of the community with many friends. His enthusiasm as cheer leader this fall did much to stir up the spirits of the spectators at the games, and the Smoking Club considered itself fortunate in having him lend his effortless humor to its gatherings. He played an active part in the Current Events Club and was one of the School's best prefects. Frank will undoubtedly be best remembered for his excellent work in the Choir, which will miss him sorely. The an- them solos he sang added greatly to the good work done by the Choir and made the Chapel services more enjoyable. With his friendliness and likable personality it is a foregone conclusion that Pete,' will make many friends at Carolina, and the ones he leaves behind here hope that he will continue through life in the same quiet, unrufHed manner and with the same success. 51 THE FIR TREE 1938 Considering all the time and effort that has been expended to reach this goal, any boy has the right to be proud of himself when he grad- uates. Graduation is even more of an achieve- ment for a day student who is subjected to all the temptations of unrestricted study periods. To Susie', then should go the congratulations de- served by anyone who has arrived at his goal through his own conscientious efforts. Susie did not spend as much free time at Woodberry during his Sixth Form year as was the case in the past. Nevertheless, the friends that he has made have been constant. Aside from a fluctuat- ing interest in football this year, he has not been around as much as many would have desired, but those who remember him as a leading figure in last year's orchestra know just what a pleasant personality he has. Quiet, modest, musical and interesting, should he go on to Virginia, he will be sure to fall in with some Woodberry friends and discover then just how much he is appreciated by all. 52 WILLIAM B. HARRIS ORANGE, VA. j HSUSIEH WILLIAM SINCLAIR JUDKINS BALTIMORE, MD. JuIIno WOODBERRY FOREST Bill is another boy who has been at Woodberry a long time and is, nevertheless, one whose past performances make his departure seem too hasty. juddo has gained a vast number of friends in his years at Woodberry. In addition to his likeable personality he has been an uncommonly useful individual athletically, in that he was a participant in three major sports. In football, basketball, and baseball he has put in two or more years of varsity competition. After winning his letter in football this year, a bad knee prevented him from earning his basketball letter. If this injury does not hamper him in the spring, he will be certain to occupy a stellar position on the baseball team. Although his chief interest lies in all manner of athletics, Bill acted in the role of advertising manager of the FIR TREE in 1937 and has con- tributed to both the FIR TREE and Omrle in the year just gone. Always able to find time for out- side activities juddo has nevertheless gone at his school work with the resolution to do a good job. He intends to resume his studies next fall at the University of Virginia. 53 V, . THE FIR TREE 1938 As every school needs boys to carry on the artistic and cultural phases, Bill for the past three years has been an essential part of Woodberry. His artistic talents have added much to the Oracle and the FIR TREE, while his ability as an actor has been a highlight of the Dramatic Club. Even the Book Club had him among its members. To top all these honors, Bill was included on the Prefect List for 1938. With little time for participation in a major sport, he has greatly helped the Rifle Team through two undefeated seasons. Bill, though not as impressive in scholastic lines as in artistic lields, usually managed to come through his exams in satisfactory style. His unpretentious attitude has always tended to keep him from the public eye. However, it is with such silent, trustworthy workers as Bill that many important things are really accomplished. Right now, his main worry is entering West Point next fall where, if he fol- lows the same standards as he did here, success is bound to be his. 54 WILLIAM E. LARNED, JR WASHINGTON, D. C. UWILD BILLH WOODBERRY FOREST WILLIAM D. LILLARD ORANGE, VA. L1LLo According to the precedent set by other Orange day scholars, Wfilliam has conducted himself ad- mirably throughout his long stay at Woodberry. The boys from town have always been outstand- ing for courtesy and affability and especially, here lately, for their lofty attainments in scholarship. Perhaps the one drawback has been the lack of positive interest in the extra-curricular aspect of school life, brought on by the natural interest in the affairs and companions of the home town. William, however, has at all times displayed an enthusiastic interest in helping wherever there has been need. A good example of this spirit of co- operation may be seen from the way in which he has aided with the handling of the Dramatic Club's superlative scenery. Always affable and obliging he has encountered nothing but pleasant companionship while at Woodberry. With the thought that the group of day stu- dents has been steadily diminishing during the past few years, it is accordingly with added regret that the Student Body bids farewell to one like this genial friend from across the Rapidan. 55 THE FIR TREE 1938 Ed is one individual who was immediately spotted upon his entrance into Woodberry as one for whom big things were in store. And now in the Sixth Form year, as a member of the Senior Councd, as an end on the footbaH teang as a sharpshooter on the basketball team, and as pitcher and captain of the baseball team, Luce has reached the top in outstanding fashion. It has just been another case of a fine boy fulfilling the predictions that were made for him earlier in lus careen And yet Edls record doesnlt stop with this, just by way of proof that he didn't hold back anything, it may be mentioned that academically he spent most of his time high up there on the coveted Honorable Mention list. And in order that he might break the monotony of school work, ULucoH took tune out to wake spornng items for both the Oracle and FIR TREE. As an athlete himself, he knew his sports and pos- sessed unusual cleverness in writing about them. Ed is one of the many who are heading for Davidson next fall. 56 EDWIN F. LUcAs, JR GREENSBORO, N. C. LUco WOODBERRY FOREST THOMAS SAMUEL MEANS SPARTANBURG, S. C. SAM Sam was distinctive when he entered Wood- berry three years ago as a very white-headed little boy. Since that time he has gathered more than his share of responsibilities. Coming from many channels of school life these responsibilities are a positive proof of the success and versatility of this boy. In very much the same way as he progressed from water boy to manager of the football team, Sammy adjusted his climb in be- coming Business Manager of the FIR TREE and attendant Prefect of Cottage E, which itself in- volves an accentuated sense of paternal manage- ment! This isolated cottage has at times been a sore subject to the cotton-top. For it happened upon occasions that his words did not meet with the proper respect among his infant personnel, and words are the very essence of happiness to Pre- fect Means! Nevertheless, Sam has convinced Woodberryf and a large number of friends, in other ways than words, that he is prepared in every way to do a line job at any college he may choose. 57 THE FIR TREE 1938 A pun might be made on Jim's last name, but most puns entail some sort of joke or tom- foolery. Whereas it is no joke, when Jim is acclaimed for the meritorious endeavor that he has put into everything undertaken here at Wood- berry. Having shown at the start of his school life that he meant to make the most out of every opportunity, jim has finally completed a sort of cycle in which he has embraced everything that could possibly prove of value to him. And now he moves on a wiser boy, and well developed from every standpoint. Unable to play football this year, jim, never- theless, made a fine showing in wrestling, ending the season with a win in the 155 pound division of the Intra-Mural Tournament. As a conse- quence of his earnest effort and hard work, he has acquired a fine physique to match his other attainments. On the verge of entering his prime, it is a great disappointment to lose him at this time. He will doubtless continue his upward climb at Dartmouth in the fall. 58 JOHN I. MERRITT, JR GARDEN CITY, N. Y. HJIMU WOODBERRY FOREST EDWIN G. MIDDLETON LOUISVILLE, KY. MED!! The Blue Grass state has sent some Hne sons to the Forest School, and high among their names may be found that of Eddie Middleton. Coming to Woodberry three years ago he was a self-contained new boy, with a top notch game of golf at his command and a merry twinkle in his eye. Since then Eddie has expanded into one of the most versatile boys in school, and one of the most prominent. He held the very important position of Chairman of the Honor Committee of the Prefect Board, which in itself speaks for his high character. Last year he was the most outstanding actor in the Dramatic Club, while this year he was Editor-in-Chief of the FIR TREE, on which he has done an excellent job. In athletics baseball is his love. He even sacrificed his golf in order to work faithfully on his southpaw pitching. Perhaps Eddie's greatest virtue is dependabil- ity, and that, coupled with the above-mentioned talents, makes him a valuable citizen and one who will be sincerely missed in years to come. 59 THE FIR TREE 1938 l Monk is the type of boy who relies less on athletic accomplishments than on success in other fields to establish his place in the School. A quiet, friendly boy, D. C. has made many friends here and has fitted into the routine of W'oodberry without any trouble. Despite the fact that he is actively interested in many outside enterprises, such as the Book Club, the Oracle Board, and the FIR TREE Board, Monk'l has attained scholastic heights far above those reached by the average student, often lead- ing his form and always ranking in the first quarter. Not a natural athlete, Monk has neverthe- less-by his usual diligence, hard work, and ap- plication-become a valued member of the track and wrestling squad. The spirit of this Mississippi boy has been a great asset to both groups through- out the year. Because of his apparently inborn ability as a scholar and writer and his willingness to apply himself to whatever he undertakes, an enviable college career seems destined to be his when he enters Princeton in September. 60 D. C. MONTGOMERY, JR GREENVILLE, MISS. UD, Cn, WOODBERRY FOREST EDGAR C. PARROTT NEWNAN, GA. PARRo C I Edgar's long stay at Woodberry marks him as an honorary member of the Century Club. Dur- ing his first year in school Parro showed a keen interest in cultural activities, for he served in both the Public Speaking Society and the Dra- matic Club. Now, he has settled down to many other enterprises which are well befitting to a Prefect and a senior member of the student body, In this capacity he has been a respected member of those active bodies, the Current Events Club and the Smoking Club. In the matter of athletics Edgar has found his size to be somewhat of a drawback. Neverthe- less, he has satisfied his apparent enthusiasm for sports as a fast-stepping halfback on the 1937 undefeated junior Varsity football team, and in former years as a star of the junior teams. For two years he has been a prominent member of the golf team. Arriving at another important phase of school life, the necessity for some kind of felicitation is due Parro, for always his school work has been of a superior nature. In his Sixth Form year he has maintained an average of between 85 and 90. Not many students have done so well as this boy. 61 THE FIR TREE 1938 Some boys have spent extra years at Wood- berry with an attitude of merely getting byg yet this attitude certainly cannot be detected in any- thing that Dave has done this year. Starting out with an appointment to the Prefect Board, Dave has pursued an enlarged course of study with an added quota of outside activities. Prob- ably the most intensive of these and certainly the one which has taken up the greatest amount of time has been the Dramatic Club. For two years Dave has been one of the fore- most track performers at Wfoodberry, and while Mr. Dick was lucky in getting Greco for an extra year, it is likewise certain that he would put up with him for several more. The ditliculties that school work may have presented for Dave in the past have at no time been in evidence this year. He has consistently made the Honor Roll with time enough left to write Trivia for the Oracle and also meet the de- mands of his many friends for his unique and constant good humor. 62 DAVID B.

TOY When he first came to Woodberry, Toy was quiet almost to the point of timidityg but under the influence of Turner Hall and its occupants, he has developed into a more poised boy and apparently has adjusted himself to his surround- ings here at Woodberry. Toy has been greatly aided by his affable personality and ready smile, as they have won him many friends. Coming straight from high school, Toy soon realized just what he was facing in the scholastic field and immediately undertook to do his best in every respect, his indefatigable effort enabling him to recover from a rather shaky start and to progress until his name became a regular com- ponent of the Honorable Mention list. Because of his small size, Toy was unable to participate in Varsity athletics, but he became a recognized leader and a fine competitor in the junior sports. A boy with the spirit and determination so characteristic of Toy is certain to succeed in col- lege, and Carolina may count itself fortunate in receiving such a student next fall. 63 THE FIR TREE 1938 Without concentrating on any one phase of school life, Emmett played an important part in many. Whether on the dance floor or the ath- letic field, his presence seemed always a necessary part of the proceedings. As a member of the Hop Committee he contributed largely to the success of the School dances. Among his re- sponsibilities his importance as assistant football manager was foremost, while during the same season he served in the capacity of cheer leader and did a very capable job of reporting for the sports page of the Oracle. He devoted the rest of his time to athletics in which he was intensely interested. He was a member of both the basket- ball and baseball squads. His interest in so many and so varied activities, nevertheless, did not detract from his scholastic record, which he man- aged to keep consistently good throughout the ear. Y His many-sided capability plus his jovial per- sonality and disposition for making friends should make Sebe an important asset to any college that he may have in mind for the future. 64 J. EMMETT SEBRELL, JR CHARLOTTE, N. C. sEBE WOODBERRY FCREST HARRY H. SEMMES, JR. CHEVY CHASE, MD. HSEMMIE Determination is indispensable to success, yet it sometimes happens that despite it a boy never quite reaches his goal. If anyone is to be com- mended for honest, unflagging grit and persever- ance, it is Harry. For three years he has thrown himself whole-heartedly into pole-vaulting and football without making his letter. This season, however, he came very near his goal and the fulfillment of his ambition in football, while his work in track has been steadily improving, and by the time this FIR TREE is published he may yet be wearing his In all events, if he re- turns as planned for a post-graduate year, he will certainly come in for considerable service in both football and track. Probably the most noteworthy point in Sem- mie's whole existence at Woodberry has been the development of his capacity for making friends. Shy and little heard of at first, he has now become one of the best known boys in school, and no one has been better liked or has more genuinely enjoyed the association of Turner Hall than Harry Semmes. 65 THE FIR TREE 1938 Bill came to XY'oodberry just a year too late, for a boy like this is entitled to every honor the School can bestow upon him, and Bill lacked only a prefectship to complete his quota. The three year rule which is usually required before a boy becomes eligible for this responsibility seems a little strict at times when one thinks in terms of boys of Billis caliber. On the very first day Smithos was singled out because of his clean-cut features-a phrase which rightly describes his whole personality, He was immediately marked as a swell boy and has remained so throughout all of his stay. In athletics, in scholarship, in outside activities, and in general school life Bill has been right up with the leaders. His home is down in Rio de Janeiro, but it is evident that a great number of boys are not going to let him spend much of his time down there. He is planning to enter Cornell, where he will be in the company of many of his old friends, and where he will cer- tainly make a great success. 66 WILLIAM E. SMITH RIO DE -JANEIRO, BRAZIL 'fsMITHos WOODBERRY FOREST WALTER E. STORM, II WILMINGTON, N. C. sToRMY It is in no way belittling to say that when Stormy first arrived at Woodberry he was some- what of a problem, for in the same breath it must be added that he was a boy who was de- termined to give his whole self over to what he recognized as wholesome and uplifting. From the very first Walt's good nature and obliging manner, together with rather paradoxical fits of stubbornness, were accepted by his classmates, but the stubbornness doubtlessly caused many a head- ache in the Faculty ranks-particularly in a cer- tain class of Third Form French! Things have changed however. The stubbornness is gone, and in its place rests a growing confidence in his ability to do his work and do it well, French included! His rapid strides forward can be naught but gratifying to all who know him. In his senior year Walter was a valuable mem- ber of the Prefect Board and Chapel Council, while in football, he held down a tackle berth on the undefeated junior Varsity eleven. Woodberry is losing one of the best of good fellows when Walter moves on to Cornell. 67 THE FIR TREE 1938 Life at Woodberry won't seem quite the same next year when Rawleigh Taylor has graduated. Seven years have nnore or less contnved to place Deke in the class with the masters and other perennial faces and landmarks about the place. However, although it may appear that this is an extraordinardy long tnne to renuun in school,it may be said that Rawleigh is neither advanced in age nor backward in his school workg it's just that he got off to an early start. Tlnoughout aH thb tnne VVeedE good hunuu and cheery presence have added to ahnost every branch of school life. An unfortunate knee in- jury, however, prevented him from actively par- ticipating in basketball during his senior year al- though he stuck out the season as a star on the rnidget footbaH,teana. In school life Rawleigh has been a favorite for a long, long time. In both the Smoking Club and the Current Events Club he ranked among the most prominent members. There is hardly any doubt that his popularity will continue at V.M.I. 68 RAWLEIGH TAYLOR, JR WOODBERRY FOREST, VA. HDEKEU THOMAS M, T HORNHILL, JR. LYNCHBURG, VA. ffTOM!l WOODBERRY FOREST Lynchburg has sent to Woodberry one of the most likeable and agreeable boys in school. Tom has been just the kind of boy who furnishes a very needed essential to school life--fa spirit of genuine friendliness toward all with whom he has contact. Although not a brilliant student, he had under- neath his unpretentious cheerfulness a real qual- ity of determination and desire to succeed which enabled him to pass his work by a comfortable margin. In the field of athletics he selected track as the sport in which he would be most likely to succeed and concentrated all his efforts to attain perfection in this enterprise. Needless to say, he developed into a good runner, specializing in the sprints and quarter mile. Tom showed at all times a great interest in things of a mechanical nature and accordingly was a great asset in the moving picture projection room and as an electrical assistant in the dramatic pro- ductions. Such an energetic boy who accomplishes much in the less obvious aspects of school life should be destined for sure success during his forthcom- ing years at college. 69 THE FIR TREE 1938 Four years is a long time to follow unswerv- ingly any kind of code, yet Charlie seems to have maintained a code of level-headed perseverance for all of that period. As a graduate of the class of '37 he had completed his required work with much distinction. He returned for an extra year of post graduate work, however, and won far greater honors. His activities are almost too numerous to mention. Aside from important of- fices in both school publications, Chink has played a great part in directing the Book Club and Current Events Club. Charlie is a letterman in wrestling and would probably have one to show for football as well, if his size had not hampered him. The same spirit that has earned for him the standing of an Honor Roll student has also placed him on a roll of honor that is Woodber14y's heritage-that roll of honor which includes such attributes as great loyalty, better dependability, and the cleanest of sportsmanship. Nothing more need be said. 70 CHARLES WALTER TILLETT III CHARLOTTE, N. C. UCHINK WOODBERRY FOREST RUTHERFORD T. VUALSH NIEW YORK, N. Y. UREDH With the completion of his fourth and final year at Woodberry Forest Rutherford leaves be- hind him a gap that will be hard to fill. His alto- gether amiable disposition made him an integral part of the School community, and he was con- spicuous equally for his unusual good humor and From the latter was derived his Haming red hair. the nickname Red,', under which appellation he has become familiar to every boy in school. Red has stuck past three years in what he is capable dogged persistence to five hard majors for the a determined effort to show of as a student. The same that carried him successfully through his studies marked as well his activities in both extra-curriculum activities and athletics. Red's talent as both an actor and a comedian were invaluable to the success of the Dramatic Club's mid-winter play. Every term found him putting out his best in either football, wrestling, or track. Because of his determination to make good and his irresistible personality Rutherford is an- other Woodberry product that is destined for sure success. 71 THE FIR TREE 1938 Many boys are remembered in connection with something outstanding that they have done. Harry Win11's name, for example, will always recall his thrilling performance in the High School foot- ball game of 1937. Not that he will, by any means, be remembered for this alone, for Harry may well be described as everybody's friend . He is one boy who absolutely lacks the ability to antagonize anyone, Modest and calm, and in many instances a non- commentive individual, Harry has always accepted things as they have come. Throughout his two years his scholastic record has remained above the average, while his interest in Woodberry has continued so keen that there is a chance he may return for an extra year. In the event that he does, he will doubtlessly be a prominent leader in school life, while his ability as a football and baseball player will add considerably to Wood- berry's 1938-39 athletic prestige. Harry himself will be welcomed back for the pleasant compan- ionship that all have enjoyed in him for the past two years. 72 HARRY LEE WINN PORT CHESTER, N, Y. t! Q1 n H WALLACE W1L1.1AMsoN, III ASHLAND, KY. wALLY WOODBERRY FOREST Wally is one of those rare boys who know how to take teasing in the spirit of fun, but who always have some well-placed come back. The Smoking Club got a valuable asset when he joined last year. His quotations, proverbs, and general observations of human nature always supplied him with a group of intent listeners. Since he spent a great deal of time reading and studying Wallace had little inclination toward athletics. The Book Club members all looked forward to hearing him read his paper, since even into the most serious matters, he always inserted a touch of tasty humor. He excelled in history, and lan- guages, and as his ambition is to be an archae- ologist, he should experience no difficulty in ob- taining his interesting and ambitious goal. Wally had the distinction of being one of W'oodberry's real characters and the memory of his wit should linger long in the hearts of his friends. Princeton is to take charge of Whimpy'l next year, and we all wish him success. 73 MUNITY M CO THE SCHOOL j Qf C .ilkiigfjjjwnr 5 a' ,A .lllllil Nam e Yefzixr I in rw A ddrwps' HAMILTQN ALIIAIIGII ........,. 3 IV .... ..

FOOTBALL With the prospect of only two return- ing lettermen, Captain Harriss Coving- ton and Bill Morris, the outlook for a successful Woodberry Forest football team in 1937 was the darkest in fifteen years. But from the first days of early practice it was evident that every mem- ber of the squad was determined to give his whole-hearted cooperation to what- ever plans Mr. Dick might have in mind. This fine attitude of the entire group cannot be praised too highly. Despite the loss of the first and final games of the season, the ensuing gridiron cam- paign was decidedly successful and doubtlessly one of the most interesting in the history of the School. After the first game a deceptive new offense was uncovered. It was based chiefly upon the passing attack of Cap- tain Harriss Covington to Dick Wilt- shire, which directly accounted for forty- eight of the team's total of one hundred and nine points, and indirectly produced the impetus which enabled the team to establish the creditable record of six vic- tories as against two defeats. The gen- eral efiiciency of the offense was greatly enhanced by the fine generalship of Cap- tain Covington, W.F.S., 0-St. Christophers, 13 The opening game of the season was played against a light but experienced St. Christophers eleven on the second day of October. lt was a contest marked by numerous fumbles on the part of the green Tiger squad which constantly gave the Saints opportunities they otherwise would not have had. But the Richmond 122 WOODBERRY FOREST boys played well and deserved their thir- teen to nothing victory. As fortune would have it Dick Wiltshire, who was partici- pating in his first varsity game at half- back and who was later to rise to heights of brilliance as an expert pass receiver, let one important Hip elude his grasp which constituted Woodberry's only real obvious scoring opportunity of the after- noon, although he made several other excellent catches during the game. The play of Captain Covington in the back- field and the fine work of Bill Morris at tackle were outstanding for the home team. Irvin Knowles, captain and quar- terback of the Saints, and his teammate, halfback Billy Whitehead, played well for the visitors. W.F.S., 13-Fishburne, 0 A greatly rejuvenated Woodberry For- est football team traveled to Waynes- boro, Virginia, on the ninth of October where it tangled with the husky cadets of Fishburne Military School. Never would one have thought that this was ,....h.. the same team which had played so poor- ly the preceding week-end. Spotting their opponents tremendous odds in weight, the Orange and Black gridders more than made up for this in their grim determination and by their spirited play. The game was filled with more than its share of spectacular incidents, chief among which were the interceptions of enemy forward passes by Dick Wiltshire and Ned Campbell. In this manner each of these boys made touchdown runs, in the neighborhood of seventy-five yards, for both of the Tiger scores. During the final twenty yards of his scoring dash, Campbell was assisted by decisive block- ing on the part of Hornor and Felix Harvey. In the closing moments of the game Wiltshire scored again on another interception, but the play was disal- lowed because of a Woodberry off-side penalty. W.F.S., 19-V.E.S., 6 October sixteenth saw the Woodberry team exhibit an aerial attack so stunning .Ll WILTSHIRE DOWNFD AFTER SNAGGING PASS AGAINST V,E.S. 123 THE FIR TREE 1938 l l Mr. Dick, Hr. tovingiim, Klr. Mercer, Mr. llmlgsuu, Xlr. Trust. THE COACHING STAFF in its deadliness that its effect proved demoralizing to a highly touted Virginia Episcopal School eleven. The visitors immediately took the offensive in the form of a nice run-back of the opening kickoff by left halfback Brown and a twenty-yard tramp around left-end on the part of right halfback Schoew which resulted in a touchdown. Excitement and confidence ran high on the enemy side of the field, but not for long. Woodberry's return of the next kick-off gave the Tigers the pigskin on their own twenty-five yard line, from which point Captain Covington tossed a beautiful spiral pass to Wiltshire who sprinted the remaining distance for the first tally. Twice more in the course of the after- noon this combination struck for six- pointers. Virginia Episcopal sorely 12 missed the services of its ace fullback, Mason Blanford, but it is highly improb- able that his presence would have af- fected the outcome of the game, for the Tiger attack that day was devastating. Halfback Crudup played well for the visitors, while Wiltshire, Covington, and Morris stood out for Woodberry. W.F.S., 12-R.M.A., 6 Captain Harriss Covington led the Orange and Black to its third consecu- tive victory of the season against the heavy Cadets of Randolph-Macon Acad- emy on October the twenty-third. In this contest the work of center Bud Hor- nor was particularly outstanding on de- fense. Woodberry established an early lead on Covington's plunge from the four yard line, after the Tiger offense, in which the whole backfield had taken 4 WOODBERRY FOREST part, had driven the ball deep into enemy territory. Bringing the crowd to its feet and converting the home team's only break into a score, Covington intercepted a Yellow jacket aerial on his thirteen yard line and streaked eighty-seven yards for the second touchdown. In the sec- ond half of the game the powerful R.M.A. team drove over one touchdown, and for the remainder of the game kept the Orange and Black on the defenseg but stubborn play on the part of the Tiger line prevented a further score. W.F.S., 33-Benedictine, 20 In a game featured by a barrage of passes thrown from every spot on the field by Covington of Woodberry and by Benedictine's Driscoll and Miller, the Forestmen came out on the large end of a 33-20 score on the last Saturday of October. The visitor's highly rated spread formation availed them little against the hard charging Tiger forward line, and Woodberry's superiority was clearly greater than the margin of vic- tory showed. The passing attack of the two teams was exceptional, each com- pleted tosses for more than a Hfty per cent average. Woodberryls running attack was far superior to the Cadets', and the first score of the contest came as a re- sult of Covingtonls forty-six yard run off-tackle on the second play of the game. Special mention should be given to Matt Long who went in for Captain Coving- ton when the latter was injured, scored one touchdown, and directed the team very capably. W.F.S., 12-Severn, 0 Severn School of Maryland discovered on the sixth of November, as had four teams before them, that Woodberry's passing was swift and sure. Forced by bad weather conditions to limit their at- tack through the air, the Tigers were nevertheless able to capitalize on two of their tosses. Lineman Ashby Dick paved the way for the first Tiger score when he recovered a Severn fumble on the enemy thirty-seven yard line. It wasn't AIDED BY GEORGE, COVINGTON GAINS OFF TACKLE IN BENEDICTINE GAME 125 THE FIR TREE 1938 HORNOR STOPS NEFF OF EPISCOPAL ON GOAL LINE long before left-end judkins had leaped high into the air and come to earth with the pigskin snugly nestled in his arms for the first six-pointer. The second Woodberry tally was chalked up by Wilt- shire after he had snared a long pass from Covington on the eighteen yard marker and dashed from there across the goal line, untouched. Late in the rinal frame, the Baltimore school made its only serious threat, marching to the Orange and Black's ten where it was forced to yield the ball. W.F.S., 20-S.V.A., 13 Woodberry's football warriors ex- tended their string of victories to six in a row by defeating a tremendous Shen- andoah Valley Academy team on No- vember the third to the tune of 20-13. This game marked the debut as varsity 12 wingmen of Ed Lucas and Harry Winn, both of whom had previously been per- forming as reserve halfbacks. The Cov- ington-Wiltshire pass combination ac- counted for the Tigers, first and final touchdowns, while both of S.V.A.'s scores came as the result of sustained drives, with Harper each time plunging over for the score. Halfback Dick Wilt- shire had the stands on its feet when he very spectacularly returned the second half kick-off straight down the sidelines for seventy yards and a touchdown. Un- fortunately he was injured shortly after- wards and forced to remain on the side- lines for the remainder of this game as well as the contest with E.H.S. the fol- lowing Saturday. W.F.S., 0-E.H.S., 18 The traditional rivals, Woodberry and 6 WOODBERRY FOREST Episcopal High met for their 1937 grid- iron encounter at Hoxton held in Alex- andria on the twentieth of November. High School entered the game a heavy favorite because of its size, experience, and its season's record. On the other hand the Orange and Black team, in spite of its lack of weight and of veteran material, possessed an enviable record in its own behalf, and was represented by boys of the finest spirit and determina- tion-boys who would not admit defeat until the final whistle blew. Kicking ofi' to right end Harbison of the Maroons, Woodberry center, Bud Hornor, officially started the annual clash, and the battle was on. Halfback Howard Goodwin made five yards on the first play of the game, but the fighting Tiger line held, and High School was forced to kick. Woodberry immediately made a first down, but the first break of the game came shortly after when Lucas, punt was blocked and recovered by Preston on the forty-five yard line in the Tigers' territory. The remainder of the period was indecisive, although the Alexandrians' superior weight gave them a slight advantage. The first score of the game came late in the second quar- ter. An exchange of punts, with Wood- berry kicking into a strong wind, gave High School the ball on the Forest twenty-yard line, and from there the leather was lugged to the one, where Goodwin crashed through for the touch- down. The second half was marked by the same terrific struggle, with the ball con- stantly resting around th e fifty-yard stripe, and it was late in the final period before High School's power had its ef- fect. Two Episcopal touchdowns were made in the last six minutes of play, one by Goodwin, the other by Bradfield. This victory put the Alexandrians one-up in the longest uninterrupted foot- ball rivalry in the state of Virginia. The records now show eighteen wins for Episcopal, seventeen fo r Woodberry, and two tie games. SUMMARY DATE WITH AT OPPs.

Despite his scant 140 pounds, his natural body balance and acute sense of timing made of him a fine blocker and a sturdy runner who time and again left injured players in the wake of his flying knees. Search the country over and you would be hard-pressed to find many prep school forward passers who excel him, while at this business of quarterbacking he ranks among the best ever to represent Woodberry. Asi-IBY DICK Guard Ashby started the season at fullback, but heeding the lamentations of his big brother and determined not to make the same mistake, he shifted to guard following the Fishburne game and there spent the rest of the season showing-up his heavier oppo- nents and playing a steady game throughout. His speed in pulling out into the interference proved quite a factor in the success of the Tigers' running attack, but it was at defensive play that he was at his best. He was a difficult man for the opposition to move and repeatedly stopped thrusts at the line of scrimmage. His work in the E.H.S. game was outstanding. HARRY WINN End Up until the waning phase of the season Harry played the role of reserve halfback. The palm should go to that coach who saw in him the makings of a first-rate wingman, for in three scant weeks he mas- tered his new assignments and boosted his stock high above the rank and file of Old Dominion prep ends. Ball hawk that he was, this pint sized battler im- bibed that uncanny quality of his pigskin quarry which enabled him time and again to rebound from the turf and do the unexpected. He was ever in the thick of the fight, and his play against E.H.S., in particular, was masterful. 128 WOODBERRY FOREST DICK WILTSHIRE Hfzlfback A born athlete and one of the greatest competitors in the state, Dick commenced his gridiron career only last September. He took to the game naturally and in his first season topped his mates in the scoring column with a total of ten touchdowns! To those who saw him in action the name Wiltshire implies the highest degree of efhciency in forward pass re- ceiving. It would be difficult to imagine anyone surpassing him in this phase of the game, both as to breaking into the open and as to making seem- ingly impossible catches. Only once did he fail to hold a ball on which he got his lingers! BILL MORRIS Tackle If ever a boy took a new lease on life and crashed through in a crisis it was Bill. From a fair lineman he blossomed into one of the most powerful blockers to represent the Orange and Black in the past decade, while his aggressive defensive play on more than one occasion meant the difference between defeat and victory for his team. One of the hardest workers on the squad, he went at his job with a silent de- termination that proved an inspiration to everyone concerned. His selection as an All-State tackle was a htting tribute both to his ability and his effort. FRANK LEWIS F111 I back This fair Texan was the only new boy of 1937 to break into varsity ranks. By dint of his strong defensive play and the apparent intelligence with which he went after the job at hand, he soon at- tracted the attention of the coaches. It was not long after that before he was handling the fullback as- signments in the first string backfield. Though not elusive, his straight-away smashes contributed many yards to the season's total, while his blocking im- proved steadily. If he returns next year, the Tigers' chances will be greatly increased for another suc- cessful season. 129 THE FIR TREE 1938 NED CAMPBELL H dlfbdfk Speed and courage brought Ned up to the varsity squad in 1936 and then in the season just gone enabled him to withstand stern competition and hold to his starting berth at left half. Quick to get under way and a speed merchant once in the clear, he reeled off many valuable yards in every game on the sched- ule. By way of attesting to the toughness of his fibers and his disregard for opposing brawn, it may be noted that despite his constant contact with heavier players, never once did he require a time-out. His return for another season will mean much to the 1958 eleven. BUD HORNOR Center Shifted from guard to center after the season was two games old, Bud's improvement was noticeable from Saturday to Saturday. His passing to the backs in close formation was usually faultless, while his blocking was effective at all times. On the offense he was ever the live wire that a good center should be. On the defense it was, however, that his progress was most marked, and in the team's final game at Alexandria he was at his best. If he carries on with the same spirit of determination, the close of the 1938 season should find him second to few in Old Dominion prep circles. BILLY SMITH Halfbazck For the major portion of the season Billy plugged along faithfully in the role of backfield reserve, and in every game in which he participated he contrib- uted at least one sizeable gain. When Fate struck her blow and deprived the Tigers of the services of Wiltshire for the High School encounter, Billy was on hand to take up the duties at right half. And how he responded! His sparkling play was an im- portant factor in the team's fine defensive game that day. On more than one occasion his sharp, clean tackling put an end to enemy scoring threats. He was one of that games outstanding players. 130 WOODBERRY FOREST MATT LONG Quazrterlaark Injuries dogged Matt's career throughout his two years on the varsity squad. Incapacitated during the first part of the 1937 campaign, he finally shook off his jinx to become an able reserve at quarterback. Gaining speed and power as the weeks rolled away, he gradually developed into one of the team's hardest runners. just by the breadth of a fingernail did he fail to break away from the Episcopal safety man when he turned in the Tigers' longest gain of the afternoon at Alexandria. Should he by any chance return next year, Woodberry's opponents will be in for much added trouble. BILLY Noyiss Guard Billy was the general C001'6fji7df01' fapologies to Benckensteinlj of the middle of Woodberry's line. His regular post was at left guard, but upon oc- casions he ran at the other guard as well, while at regular intervals he likewise assisted Hornor at put- ting the ball in play from center. To the average observer it perhaps was not apparent that this angular lineman carried his weight in such a manner as to obtain the maximum effect in open field blockingg yet such was the case. With a year of experience behind him, Billy will undoubtedly be a mainstay up front through the season of 1938. JOHN COLE Halflmck It is almost an accepted axiom that every success- ful football team must have some natural source of comic relief. In an innocent yet contagious manner john filled the bill to perfection. And to make things more complete his hard running, vicious block- ing, and. fine defensive play won him the confidence of every member of the squad. john revels in do- ing the hard things and has never yet been seen to loaf in practice or in play. He has a bright athletic future and one that Woodberry should share at least in part as he will be wearing the Orange and Black for two seasons to come. 131 TH FIR TREE 1938 JACK RAY Tackle Jack lost almost an entire season of valuable ex- perience last year when a hand injury forced him out of competition early in October. Accordingly the road to the top in 1937 became an even steeper one to climb. But after his ups and downs, he finally made the grade, and when the opening whistle blew on November 20th at Alexandria, he was manning the left tackle post in the Orange and Black for- ward wall. Offensively he was a good blocker, while on the defense he showed his mettle on fre- quent occasions. He had his best day against the heavy Shenandoah Valley eleven. BERT BENNETT End From the juniors to the varsity Bert arose in the brief span of ten months. To achieve this he had to overcome disadvantages in size, speed, and experi- ence, but he made the grade admirably because he was a fighter and because he had the will to do so. What spectators will doubtlessly remember is the startling manner in which he would slip through interference and down the runner for no gaing but the recollection of those who worked with him will center around the amazing force with which he applied his meagre 135 pounds in blocking. His was the spirit that refuses to accept defeat. ORME GEORGE Tackle Orme's return to school last fall was as welcome as it was unexpected, particularly to the coaching staff. Though inexperienced in the matter of grid- iron tactics and technique, the convincing manner in which he had come through in wrestling last winter had won for him the confidence of all the athletic men on the place. Nor was such confidence ill- placed, for despite his lack of weight he met the opposition all season with a rough and ready style of play. His blocking was usually of high order, while on the defense he was a fearless and stubborn player who frequently caused the enemy considerable trouble. 132 WOODBERRY FOREST ED LUCAS End Yet another late-season convert from backfield to end, Ed took hold of his new assignments in an ad- mirable manner. Prior to this he had seen consid- erable service at halfback and with a snake-like hip motion had reeled off quite a number of yards for the Orange and Black. But it was following his conversion that he turned in his best play of the sea- son. Frequently through sheer determination he made his blocking a potent offensive factor, and all the while he did the major portion of his team's punting. For a man so new at the job his defensive play was remarkable, particularly against Episcopal High. BILLY JUDKINS End Ever since last season when Bill first began to break into varsity lineups, one point in his offensive work became apparent to all: as a down-field blocker running from the weak side, he rarely failed to have some opponent down and out, whether the play got that far or not. This season when he came into his own as a regular, he carried on as he had begun in expert fashion. Upon occasions he used his height to good advantage in replacing Wiltshire on the receiving end of Captain Covington's passes, while throughout the season he did a large share of the Orange and Black's punting. HOWARD CONWAY Guard Injuries alone were responsible for Howard's few appearances in the varsity lineup and his failure to win a letter in football. A more determined worker could not be found, while beyond doubt he was one of the best defensive linemen on the squad. Witness for example his vicious play in the Fishburne and Severn conflicts. It would be safe to say that no prep lineman ever charged much harder than he did those two afternoons. His own misfortunes were likewise Woodberry's, for had he been able to stay in shape, his speed and fighting heart would have added con- siderably to the general efficiency of the team. 133 THE FIR TREE 1938 Back Row4Roper, Benet, Tyler, Walsh, Coleman, Conyers.

JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL For the first time on record the jun- ior Varsity football team of 1937 was handled as a unit of the varsity squad. Under the personal direction of Mr. Berry Hodgson, the members of this year's team received much of their fun- damental work along with the first and second teams, while throughout the season they used the same offensive and defensive tactics as those employed by the varsity. With a light but speedy backfield, featured by the spirited quarterbacking of jack Castles and the tricky running of Bill Dewey, and a heavy and ag- gressive forward wall which outweighed that of the first eleven, this team went undefeated through a five game sched- ule. A 13-13 tie with Leesburg High School in its last encounter was the only near blemish on its campaign, and in all fairness it should be recorded here that it was against the lower field juniors, playing as a reserve eleven for nearly half of the game, that the visitors shoved over their touchdowns. Prior to this the junior Varsity had defeated the jefferson High Reserves, of Roa- noke, 13-0, Warrenton High, 24-6, Fork Union Military Academy Reserves, 12-O, and the Randolph-Macon junior Varsity, 67-0. 134 HUM Ifurv- bl.

BASKETBALL Although Woodberry's basketball team lost nine and won seven games to fall below the live hundred per cent mark, it was, nevertheless, a far better quintet than shown by the record. Sometimes the combination played brilliantly and at other times poorly, but on all occasions it performed with a spirit and determination which con- stantly made the School proud of its members. The play of Captain Dick Wliltshire was seldom less than superlative, and his fine work, both on offense and de- fense, was the deciding factor in many a close contest. Covington and Lucas, holdovers from last season, were scrap- pers to the last ditch and also found the coveted hoop quite frequently with shots from every angle of the court. Bob Glenn, Buford Short, and Tom Joyner also carried out their assignments well and usually performed with the same zest and light which characterized the entire squad. Split Two- With Saints In a rather disappointing manner, the Tigers dropped their first game to St. Christopher's of Richmond by a 21-12 count. The contest was played in the University of Richmond gymnasium on Saturday, January eighth, as a part of the annual Prep Carnival. On the whole the Orange teamwork was ragged throughout. Knowles, Christian, and Fox of the Saints and Wiltshire of Woodberry tied for individual scoring honors with six points apiece. The second of the two games was a real thriller. This time Woodberry played the part of an impolite host, drubbing the Richmonders, 35-30. It was the sort of a game which is neces- 158 WOODBERRY FOREST sary to observe in person in order to appreciate fully, and no adequate words can be found to describe it. Constant- ly the score changed hands, and at half- time the count stood 14-14. Fox of the visitors headed the scoring column with thirteen markers, followed closely by Captain Wiltshire of the Forestmen, who rang up eleven. Young Men's Shop Wins Wfoodberry presented a quite differ- ent combination against the Young Men's Shop of Charlottesville on the thirteenth of January from the one which played so poorly against St. Christopher's the preceding week-end. But the team was finally defeated by the ex-collegians, 35-33. Orlin Rogers of the Charlottesville five paced his team with seventeen points, while Wiltshire and Covington of the home team each chalked up ten. Lane High Swamped 57-10 Captain Wiltshire was in top form, scoring twenty-two points as the Orange and Black smothered Lane High School with a deluge of baskets by a 57-10 score. Working together smoothly, the home quintet performed with amazing skill and appeared to be an experienced ball club. S.M.A. and Tigers Divide Entering the game as the underdog, Woodberry completely upset the formi- dable Cadets of Staunton Military Acad- emy in the first of a two game series, 41-17. The Tigers captured the lead early in the contest and were never headed. Their work, both on offense and defense, was excellent. Playing heads-up basketball, Bob Glenn, Orange guard, covered the highly touted Spuh- ler so closely that he picked up only three points during the course of the game. Once more Captain Dick Wilt- shire headed the scorers with twenty points to his credit. Unfortunately the team did not fare so well in its second duel with S.M.A. at Staunton. The Cadets handed Wood- berry a pretty thorough licking on Feb- ruary nineteenth. Spuhler was not to be denied in this contest, and before it was finished, he had aggregated the astounding total of twenty-eight points. Fishburne Downed 32-12 Fishburne Military School had little to show on january twenty-sixth, as the Cadets succumbed to the Foresters, 32-12. Frequent fouls and rough play marked the contest, which Woodberry had little difficulty in capturing. The entire second team went in before the end of the half, and played very well on its own account, guarding the vis- itors tightly, while scoring several bas- kets to increase the first team's lead. Tying for individual honors were Wilt- shire and Lucas of the Orange and Black with nine points each. Woodberry Beats Petersburg Petersburg High School was clearly outclassed in its contest with the Orange on the latter's court on the twenty- eighth of january. Playing steady bas- ketball, the Tigers gradually mounted up a score of thirty markers to the vis- -IOYNER SHOOTING FOUL IN E.H.S. GAME 139 THE FIR TREE itors, ten, with Dick Wiltshire accounting for twenty of his team's points. In the closing three minutes of play the Orange s e c - onds were sent into the game. This combina- tion played on even . t e r m s W i t h t h e Petersburg five, neither team finding the hoop for the remainder of the game. COACH FROST W.F.S.-R.M.A. Divide In their last january game, the Tigers dropped a 33-23 contest to the Cadets of Randolph-Macon Academy. Of- fensively Woodberry was completely bafiied, especially in the first half, by R.M.A.'s airtight zone defense. Keiser led the field with ten points, while Cap- tain Wiltshire rang up six. The second game with the Front Royal Cadets turned out to be a field day for the Orange team, which received ample consolation for its defeat in the earlier affair by collecting fifty-three points to the opponents twenty-seven. Wiltshire, Joyner, and Lucas all shot well, making fourteen, thirteen, and twelve points, respectively. Virginia Freshmen Win The strong freshmen basketball squad of the University of Virginia overcame the Tiger quintet by a 39-22 count on the first of February. Well-balanced in every respect, the baby Cavaliers simply 1 1938 presented too experienced a team for the Forestmen. Bill Harman of Vir- ginia was the outstanding offensive player on the court, shooting brilliantly for a sixteen point total. A.M.A. Wins Thriller ln one of the closest contests ob- served at Woodberry for quite awhile, the Cadets of Augusta Military Acad- emy barely nosed out the Tigers by a one point margin in a 40-39 game. This contest was the first one of the entire season which required an extra period to decide the winner. Brubeck and Robertson of the visitors led with four- teen and thirteen points respectively. Wiltshire followed with eight. Fork Union Wins 35-27 The absence of Captain Wfiltshire was sorely felt by the Orange team as it dropped an excellent game with Fork Union, 35-27. At the intermission, the Orange and Black was behind by only two points, but the second half saw a barrage of Fork Union goals which was impossible to stop. Lucas of Woodberry topped the scorers with fourteen points. Tigers Win Over V.E.S. Breaking the Bishops' zone defense successfully, the Orange and Black beat V.E.S. 43-36 in a well-played game on February the twelfth. Trailing the home team for the greater part of the contest, the Tigers turned on a last minute rally to gain the victory in a game of frequent fouls which took two first string players from the Woodberry line-up. Coving- ton, whose uncanny accuracy on floor shots featured the game, led the scor- ing with seventeen points. 40 WOODBERRY FOREST R.M.A. B Team Wins The Orange five on February the twenty-sixth dropped a 39-30 encounter with the R.M.A. B team at Ashland. Defensively the Tigers were rather slow. Wfiltshire scored eight points, before bruising his nose a few minutes after the first half, Episcopal High Victor Woodberry brought its 1937 basket- ball season to an end on Saturday, March the fifth, by dropping its yearly encounter with E.H.S., 25-15. Really getting started only once, in a short rally during the first period, the team was not up to its usual brand of play and was inaccurate with its shots. High School made every shot count during the first half, steadily chalking up a total of nineteen points to the Tigers' nine. With dogged determination, the Forestmen halted the Maroons, attack in the third quarter but were them- selves unable to score. Preston led the Alexandrians with a total of nine points, while Wiltshire, Lucas, and Joyner paced the Orange with four each. SUMMARY DATE WITH AT OPPS.

With each team putting its best guard on him, he averaged 12 points per game. His standout performances were the Staunton and St. Christophefs games when he led the team to victory scoring 21 and 11 points, respectively. Captain- elect for next year, we are waiting for that season to roll around when we may again watch those south- paw loops hit the meshes. HARRISS COVINGTON Guard Harriss was the spearhead of the attack and the smoothness of his ball-handling coupled with speed and tight defensive work earned him the repeated honor of All-State guard. It was largely the play of Covington and Wiltshire that gave impetus to that of the other boys, all of whom were playing their first year of varsity competition. Holding Bell of E.H.S. to one field goal, scoring the field goal which put the St. Christophers game on ice, scoring 12 points in the Staunton game and 17 in the game with V.E.S., his coach is going to shed bitter tears when this boy hangs up his togs. BUFORD SHORT Forward This speedy little scrapper from Kentucky finished his first season as a regular, and everyone predicts great things for him. Buford is a fine floor man and many times popped the ball into scoring position for his teammates. An ambidextrous player, he often hit the loop with either hand in a fast break down the floor. Buford loves the game and will be even better next year. In the Staunton game at home it was his speed down the floor and Hashy passing to his mates that proved so effective in the scoring. A fine team man, it is a pleasure to watch this boy play. 142 WOODBERRY FOREST ED LUCAS Forward After subbing last year, Ed came through in fine style in his first year as a regular. His work around the basket and his accurate eye on looping shots from the lioor accounted for many points during the season. His individual style of loose-jointed and one-handed shots were often anathema to his guards. Ed was at his best in the R.M.A. game when he hit the cords for a total of 12 points. A fine boy to have on anybody's team, it is predicted that he will come right along in college, while it is a sure bet that Ed hopes they all play zone defenses! BOB GL E NN Guard Bobby was the Orange and Black's defensive spe- cialist and had the job of being assigned to the big offensive gun on opposing teams. His first year as regular on any team, his defensive play was par- ticularly fine and as the season went along he came in for his share of points. Although not rugged in frame, he did a swell job in that thankless task of getting the ball off the opponents back board and starting the offense in motion. Bobby will be back again next year, and Woodberry supporters will have the pleasure again of watching him put the leech act on some of the oppositiorfs forwards. TOM JOYNIER C enter Tom came to Woodberry after the season had got- ten underway. For two years his South American background had given him the idea that a basket was something in which to put coffee beans and fruit. This soon left him, and he furnished the team with the height and range which were, at times, sorely lacking. His best work around the backboard, some of his shots in close quarters were exceptional. He turned in his best games against R.M.A. and St. Christopher's, bagging 13 and 10 points in each. Next year should find him a topfnotch performer and it is hoped he decides that one year at Woodberry is not enough. 145 1-Grapplers watch grapplers in Intra-mural matches .... 2 1 Barnhardt getting time on R.M.A., in the 175 pound class .... 3-Morris attempting a half-nelson on Randolph-Macon unlin timekeepers watch A.

WRESTLING Of Woodberry Forest's nine years of wrestling the 1938 season may with- out contradiction be termed the most successful. The team was centered around Captain Jack Castles, Charles Tillett, Orme George and Bill Morris, all lettermen of 1937. In 1935 and 1937 Woodberry was the nominal State Champion of Virginia, and again this year the Tigers won the honor by trouncing R.M.A. and A.M.A. Not a wrestler on the team lost more than one match during the entire season. Also interesting to note is the fact that this year for the first time in history, Wood- berry defeated two prominent teams from Maryland, McDonnough and Severn. This is something to be proud of, for wrestling in the State of Mary- land is one of the most outstanding sports, and consequently its teams are generally well-rounded and expertly coached. 14 Much praise is owed to Captain jack Castles who won five out of six matches. Although not his most important bout, but perhaps the most interesting, was his defeat of Billy Archer of the Univer- sity of Virginia, who was the 1937 Woodberry captain and an expert wrestler. In the last match with Severn Castles wrestled out of his weight in the 135 pound class. Despite this dis- advantage, he rode his adversary all over the mat and won on the referees decision. Open With Win Over R.M.A. The season's opener was with Ran- dolph-Macon Academy, a school which established a team only this year. This match, being a squad match, provided a large number of bouts. Out of the thirteen Woodberry won eleven, taking eight falls and three decisions. Roland Hill, a new boy at R.M.A. and a Wood- 6 WOODBERRY FOREST berry letterman in '37, fought two matches for his new school, and did creditably in losing one and winning one against MC. B. Morrisette and John Barnhardt respectively. David Smith showed up well by pinning Middleton. Because he was so light, Smith never could get many opponents, but much is to be expected of him next year. W. 8: L. Out-Points Woodberry The next day Coach Covington and his team met the experienced and well- trained freshmen of Washington and Lee. In spite of the fact that Ira Grif- fin in the 115 pound class gave his team- mates an accustomed good start by throwing his opponent, the final score was 17-11 in favor of the collegians. The Foresters dropped four matches by the referee's decision, one by a fall, and took two on decision and one by a fall. Redeeming himself for losing his match on the previous day, john Barnhardt won a decision in the 175 pound class. Charles Tillett also won by decision. Matmen Down McDonnough The 29th of january saw the Forest- men wrestle one of the hardest and best fought matches of the season. On that day Woodberry invaded the Mc- Donnough campus in Maryland and won by the score of 21-11. After the Tigers had lost one on a technical foul and won one and lost one on decisions, LeRoy Roper, making his debut, put his team in the lead by pinning his adver- sary in the 145 pound class. Since Orme George was laid up, Baxter Freeze fought in the 155 pound class and also made a successful debut, winning on a 1 decision. Bill Morris threw his man in the heavyweight class. Two bouts were fought to a draw, those of Morrisette and Barnhardt. Pick-Up Team From Virginia Beaten This year for the first time in history the home team wrestled a pick-up group from the University of Virginia and lost only one match when Dick Wil- liams, 1936 captain of the Woodberry grapplers, pinned Baxter Freeze. Freeze fought well, but the superior experience of Williams proved too much for his garneness. Archer, Hilliard, and Law- rence Lewis, also Woodberry alumni, were beaten by Jack Castles, Montague Blundon, and Orme George respective- ly. Bill Morris won a 2:40 time de- cision over Summerville, one-time cap- tain of A.M.A. and considered one of the best wrestlers ever to represent that school. Tiger Grapplers Gain. Champion- ship The following match Mr. Covington knew would determine the State Cham- pionship of Virginia.

From there on it was a clean sweep for the home team. In the 165 and 175 pound classes Morrisette and Earnhardt threw their opponents, the former taking Stevenson down with his powerful side-roll, and the latter COACH COVINGTON scoring his victory With a Well exe- cuted half-nelson. Strong Severn Team Smothered On the following Friday the curtain was rung down on the 1938 schedule With a 32-0 victory over Severn School of Maryland. Despite the one-sided score, the Marylanders proved far from easy victims, the matches for the most part being keenly contested throughout. The home forces won on falls by Grif- fin, Roper, George, and Freeze, and de- cisions by Tillett, Castles, Morrisette, and Morris. Due to Barnhardt's illness and Captain Castle's forced idleness, due to an infection, throughout the preced- ing week, several shifts had to be made. Tillett came down a class, and Castles went up, while George and Morrisette each likewise moved up a notch. Mor- risette was forced into an overtime match before coming out with a hair line verdict over his rugged opponent. SUMMARY DATE WITH AT OPPS.

A keen interest was taken in the tournament, and the entries in the various weight divisions were numer- ous. Although the limitations of the tournament did not permit varsity per- formers, many of the matches even in first round bouts were between ex- perienced matmen. After a series of eliminations, the finals of each weight division were held in the Cage on March 10th before a large part of the student body. With such capable wrestlers as M. jones, Lee Gravely, and Ashby Dick competing, the tussles were looked forward to with as much interest as a varsity match. In the 155 pound class, the first bout of the afternoon, jim Merritt was able to gain a pin over Charley Neaves who apparently was suffering from the ef- fects of a lack of conditioning as a re- sult of two months of basketball.

As a captain he was excellentfever willing to aid in any way, and conscientious in his work with the new men. It was of no little value to the other grapplers to have as their captain one so skilled in his art. If the choice had to be made, jack in all probability would be picked as the best wrestler in the history of this sport at the School. A great college career is predicted for him, while his de- parture will leave a gaping hole to be filled. IRA GRIFFIN 11,5 Pound! Having had experience last year in exhibition matches, Ira started the season as anything but a novice. In the opening match against W. and L. he gave evidence of just how much wrestling ability he had by very cleverly gaining a fall over his op- ponent. As the season advanced his ability in- creased, so much so that a victory in his class was taken for granted. His sole setback came at the hands of the powerful and undefeated Kennedy of A.M.A. It was no surprise to see his teammates elect him captain for 1939, and he should prove an inspiring leader. Here's hoping for you an unde- feated season next year, Grill, BILL MORRIS U fzlimited A good example of just what can be done when a boy makes up his mind. Having experienced a very mediocre season last year, Bill did not look for- ward to this year's matches. From the outset, how- ever, he worked diligently, learning new holds, and improving his skill greatly. Undaunted by a defeat early in the season he continued to improve and re- corded victories in every other match. Using his weight to the utmost advantage, Bill was probably the most skilled heavyweight Woodberry has had in quite some time, and it was a comfort to be able to rely on him in the final class. 150 WOODBERRY FOREST CHARLIE TILLETT 135 Prmzidir Even if Charlie had never seen a wrestling match, he would have been tough to beat, for fellows with grit and determination like his are hard to handle. He started the season with a hard-fought decision at XV. and L., and during the season recorded vic- tories everywhere except at McDonnough, where he lost by a close margin to a very good man. Tillett really should have been in the 128 pound classfhe weighed 130fbut even in the 135 pound class he did exceptionally well. His hardest matches usually came on Wednesdays in the eliminations. Charlie Tillett-a name synonymous with grit, determination, and perfect condition. ORME Gizoizon 155 Prxlnzdi' Off to a fine start in the season of 1937 Orme's progress was interrupted somewhat this past winter by injuries and sickness alike which prevented his par- ticipating in two of the six matches, namely, against Augusta and McDonnough. Despite this, however, throughout the season his added experience and knowledge of wrestling tactics proved of great value to the other members of the Orange and Black squad. Winning bouts against Virginia and Randolph-Macon Academy, and losing a close one against W. and L., Orme rose to his greatest height of a successful career when he moved up out of his own weight division to pin his Severn School adversary. joHN BARNHARDT 175 P0lllZL!.1' john was one of the real workers on the 1958 Wrestling Squad. The first man out for practice and usually the last to leave, he went at his job from the start with a grim determination to win a place on the varsity team. His eagerness to absorb all the knowl- edge possible and his aggressiveness helped him compile an enviable record. While he added greatly to Orange and Black prestige, it is nevertheless the opinion of many that the benefit was mutual. Wres- tling has done a great deal for Barnhardt, and it is hoped that he will stick at it next year down at Davidson. 151 TH FIR TREE 1938 LEROY ROPER 145 Pomzdf A new boy with an undefeated season! When the Washington and Lee freshmen match came along, Roy wasnlt quite ready-he had been eliminated in the tryouts-but the next match found him the top man in his class. In his first wrestling match against outside competition he showed great promise by pin- ning his McDonnough opponent. Week by week he improved, and week after week he won his matches, until the end of the year found him un- conquered by any foe. Congratulations Roper! May you continue this successful march throughout the season to come. C. B. MORRISETTE 175 Pomzdf Blessed with incredible strength and a physique that inspired awe in the eyes of his opponents, UC. Bf' eked out a victory and a draw in his first two matches employing little more than these two qualities. During this time, however, he was work- ing earnestly every day, and in his next match he began to display a bit of cleverness. He continued to work, and he continued to win. The closing match of the year found him wrestling in the 175 pound class, and still having never tasted defeat. He won in an overtime match to remain undefeated. Another year should find him a skillful performer. BAXTER FREEZE 1,55 Pounds Baxter's second year on the wrestling squad found him working as diligently as ever. Faced with the herculean task of ousting a letter man, he never- theless went at his job relentlessly and undismayed. While he was not forced to carry out his task, due to the illness of this letter man opponent, his tireless work of preparation made it possible for him to step into the vacancy and take advantage of his oppor- tunity in a hne fashion. It was a joy to see Freeze win a place on the team, and a bright career for him at Davidson seems almost an assured thing. 152 WOODBERRY FOREST MONTAGUE BLUNDON 135 Pozzndf The fact that Monty wrestled in only a few matches and still won his letter helps to indicate just what a worker ,he was. For two years he was good-good enough to wrestle on the regular team in other yearsg but faced with the task of removing the near-invincible Tillett, he was kept in the back- ground most of the time. His victory over Hilliard of Virginia gave him a chance to show everyone that he could do a good job if he got the chance. His splendid attitude made him a real asset to the squad, while his spirited competition made better wrestlers of many of his teammates. JUNIOR VARSITY WRESTI FRS Burk Huu'4Coke. Smart. S. Haywood.

RIFLE TEAM Setting a new high score of 1801x 2000 against The Harrisburg Men's Club, the Woodberry Forest Rifle Team completed its second consecutive unde- feated season. The nine boys who made up the squad were: Captain Char- ley Tillett, Bill Larned, Brent Warren, Tazewell Bott, Joe Efird, john Rankin, Ray Heizer, jack Lewis and Hugh Chatham. V In the first match against the Fork Union Military Academy team, Wood- berry won an easy victory by the score of 1755 to 1722. Due to the absence of Captain Til- lett and Brent Warren, the total score d r o p p e d against Augusta Military Academy. Nevertheless, Woodberry won by a three point margin, 1725 to 1722. The rif1emen's next victory was won over Fishburne Military School. Score: 1765 to 1718. Only live shots were fired in each position in the return match with F.M.S., and the scores were based on a possible 1000 instead of the regular 2000. Woodberry's 906 easily won the shoot from Fishburne's 836. The Tiger marksmen wound up the season with a match against the Har- risonburg Menls Club which was won 1801 to 1797. With four of this year's squad re- turning and with several prospects shooting well, the outlook is promis- ing for another successful season next year. 154 WOODBERRY FOREST rk llmr Coke.

With only two lettermen, Cap- tain-elect Corbett and George Webster, returning, it is not difficult to under- stand why hopes were low. But sur- prisingly enough, with the exception of the weight events, the Orange and Black was represented by a strong, well-bal- anced squad. Captain Corbett was al- most unbeatable in the pole vault and the broad jurnp, and in spite of his one hundred and thirty-five pounds he was able to put the twelve pound shot forty- two feet and throw the discus in the neighborhood of one hundred feet. In the hurdle events George Webster was outstanding, and in the dual meet with High School he bettered the existing State prep school high hurdle mark by skipping over the barriers in 15.5 sec- onds. Ned Campbell developed into an ace sprinter, rarely scoring less than eight points per meet. Strength in the middle distance running was ably sup- plied by Branch, Ricks, Conway, and Kidder. When the season ended, Wood- berry's track team had completed a very successful year, the best in the prep school conference with the exception of that of Episcopal High School, who de- feated the Tigers by close margins in both the State Meet and the annual dual meet. Newport News Defeats Tigers In its first start of the season, the Forestmen were downed on April 10 by 158 WOODBERRY FOREST the harriers of Newport News High School, making forty-ive points to the visitors' seventy-two. Chalking up three firsts in the broad jump, hundred, and two-twenty yard dashes, Dodd of the victors was high-point man for the day with fifteen markers. Webster of the home team was runner-up with thir- teen. Victorious In Triangular Meet Smarting from its defeat by Newport News, the Orange and Black trampled the combined forces of Randolph- Macon Academy and McGuire's Uni- versity School of Richmond to the tune of W.F.S. 89, R.M.A. 30, and Mc- Guire's 24. Webster captured high- scoring honors with fourteen points, winning both the hurdle races and tying for first in the high jump. The 440 yard offered the most excitement of the afternoon. Roddy Kidder, Woodberry quarter-miler led the way until the final curve where Brauer of the Mack's caught and passed him to finish vic- torious in the nice time of 53.4 seconds. Williams of R.M.A. won the javelin and discus and was third in the shot to lead his team with twelve points. Fishburne and Fork Union Lose Again Woodberry ran off with top honors in a three-cornered affair on April 17. Fork Union and Fishburne this time presented the competition and made 58 and 21 points respectively. Schupska of Fork Union paced his team by winning both the four-forty and two- twenty yard runs. Captain Corbett scored his usual first places in the vault and broad jumps, while his teammate Webster also scored a double win by taking both obstacle races. Campbell won the century and placed second in the furlong. Staunton and V.E.S. Defeated Encountering its stiffest test of the season thus far, the Orange eked out a 62-56-25 victory over Staunton Mili- tary Academy and the Virginia Episco- pal School of Lynchburg on April 24. The meet contained more than its share of spectacular events. Apparently licked, Webster came from behind in the last ten yards to tie Gilbert of Staunton in the high hurdles, the first running event of the day. Both men were clocked at 15.5 seconds. In the century Camp- bell of Woodberry dashed to the tape in 10.1 seconds in another draw with Crudup of V.E.S. The Forestman looked as if he had won, but the event must have been too tight for the of- ficials to judge. Versatile Gibbons Cor- bett looked very impressive in his spe- cialty, the pole vault, which he won with a leap of eleven feet one inch. Tigers Trounce St. Christopher St. Christopher of Richmond offered little in resistance to the Woodberry thin-clads, and the visitors were whipped on April 28, 77-40.

Corbett, Campbell, and Web- ster all turned in double wins for the Orange. Second In State Meet In the State Prep Meet held at Char- lottesville on Saturday May 1, Wood- berry's Corbett captured the pole vault and the broad jump, but the School's best performer of the day was Henry Branch. Running a splendid race, he negotiated the mile in 4:46 in a tie race with Gilbert of Staunton. They jointly broke the state record for the distance. Others who scored for the Tigers were Campbell in the sprints, Webster in the hurdles, and Ricks in the half-mile. 16 E.H.S. Wins, 61 M-572 The track rivals of Episcopal High School and Woodberry Forest locked horns on Hanes Field on May 8. Prob- ably the finest race of the entire sea- son was run in this contest. The event was the one hundred and twenty yard high hurdles and the winner was Web- ster. Shoulder to shoulder he and the E.H.S. hurdlers, Todd and Marbury, leaped over the barriers, until the final hurdle, where Webster beat them about two yards. Establishing a state as well as school record, George was clocked in the excellent time of 15.5 seconds. Ex- ecuting a splendid race in the 880, Ricks was contented to follow in the foot- steps of Tucker, High School half-miler, but as they reached the final curve, the Tigerman spectacularly passed his op- ponent, and sprinted in the winner in 2:06.3. Rising to his greatest heights of brilliance, Captain Corbett led his team with the amazing total of eighteen and a half points. High School's Mar- bury was right at his heels with seven- teen and a half. Va. Freshmen' Victorious The powerful University of Virginia Freshmen trounced the Tigers by a 78-39 score on May 11. Chief interest in the meet centered around the hurdle events. Running the fastest race ever clocked on Hanes Field, ex-Tigerman Frank Fuller broke the tape in 15 seconds Hat. Also in the longer obstacle event he broke the Hanes Field mark by striding through the 220 lows in 24.8 seconds. His former teammate, Webster, pushed him closely in both events. O WOODBERRY FOREST W.F.S. Fifth At C Club The Tigers traveled to Washington on May 15 to compete in the annual Club meet but were unable to do better than fifth place. Webster, Cor- bett, and Campbell won the Orange points. In the medley relay the team placed fourth. Thomas Jefferson Downed Making its debut on Hanes Field, the track team of Thomas jefferson High School of Richmond gave the Tigers quite a scare before it finally went down to a 61-56 defeat. Bill Fitzhugh of the Richmonders took individual hon- ors with fifteen points capturing first places in all three weight events. Web- ster and Corbett followed with four- teen apiece. At last Captain Corbett met his superior in the pole vault event in the person of jefi'erson's Ed Thistle- waite, who negotiated the height of twelve feet two inches before he was forced to stop. The contest appeared to be Teejay's until the final event, the broad jump. Corbett won, followed by George Cole and Webster in the next two places, to clinch a Tiger vic- tory. Captain Corbett, Webster, Roddy Kidder, and Bob King said farewell to their track days at Woodberry. SUMMARY DATE WITH AT OPPS.

Then last spring, when it became a delightful monotony to witness this fair-headed Richmonder breasting the tape ahead of the field, the realization dawned that Woodberry was heading back to power along the shorter cinder lanes! Developing fast in both the century and furlong, Ned accumulated a total of nine firsts, four seconds, and five thirds to rank high among the leading scorers. With added strength and a year's competition behind him, this season should find him even better-not to mention the Spring of '39 when he will again be wearing the Orange and Black. DAVE Ricks Half Mile Dave might well be named among Mr. Dick's pet proteges. Some who were here back in 1936 may possibly recall those scorching afternoons late in May when the Little Manu spent hours on end ironing out the flaws in the running form of this potential half-miler. Then last spring the be-spec- tacled Tar Heel began to fulfill his coach's expecta- tions with a smooth and ryhthmic style that repeated- ly enabled him to beat faster and physically stronger runners. His most notable performance came in the Episcopal meet when a well-timed sprint off the turn carried him past Tucker for one of the most exciting victories of the day. HENRY BRANCH Mile Henry started on his track career in 1936-an ungainly youngster with no apparent love for the hard grind of distance work. But he thrived on the earnest encouragement and high ambition that the Little Man imparted to him, and 1937 found him filled with enthusiasm and a threat to every opponent encountered by the Orange and Black. Competing in both the half and the mile, he proved to be one of the team's most consistent point winners. The climax of Ching's season came in the State Prep School meet in Charlottesville when he and Gilbert of S.M.A. broke the tape in a dead heat to hang up a new mile record. 162 WOODBERRY FOREST HowARn CONWAY 'l - S Mile gy , i Howard went at distance running with that grim determination and unselfishness so charactertistic of Q1 him in all his endeavors. Undismayed, though def- initely handicapped by a serious knee injury sus- tained during football, he came through in fine style during the 1937 campaign. Winning points in six important meets, he broke the tape ahead of the field on three occasions. With the game knee more or less a thing of the past, this season should find him an even surer bet for points in the mile and possibly the half. Few have ever shown a better spirit than Howards, while no one has ever been a more deserv- ing wearer of the HUGH HOLE Illile After two seasons of tireless work, Hugh was just on the verge of blossoming into a good prep miler when his athletic activity was halted by a severe attack of rheumatic fever. This necessitated his withdrawal from school in the Spring of 19375 but at the close of the track season, by the unanimous vote of the coaches and the G.A.A., he was awarded his letter-a letter which he would undoubtedly have won in competition had he been available. Still un- able to compete this year, his enthusiasm for track is nevertheless undaunted, and he has accordingly as- sumed the important responsibilities of team man- ager in this sport. TRACK PROSPECTS FOR 1938 With the loss of such track stars as Captain Gibbons Corbett, most versatile cinderman ever to trod the oval at Woodberry, and George Webster, holder of the track record in the high hurdles, Coaches Leonard Dick and joe Mercer are look- ing forward to only a fair season. This will be the first season in three years that the Foresters are unable to feel assured of approximately 10 points in the hurdles. Furthermore, as yet no potentially strong pole vaulters have been uncovered, which, coupled with only tentative power in the weights, puts a question mark on the campaign's successful outcome. However, paced by Captain Ned Campbell, who should be next to invincible in the sprints, and Henry Branch and Howard Conway, milers, the Tigers should win a majority of their meets. In the middle distances with Dave Ricks and Hugh Chatham outstanding, Woodberry should also be especially prominent. 163 THE FIR TREE 1938 IAF: . , Back Rouvil. Griifm. Semmes, Barton, Dalton.

Winning seven games and losing six, the team ended its schedule with a com- posite average of 538. Experience was one of the Tigers' chief assets with prac- tically the same players working to- gether who had composed the team the preceding year. Filling regular posi- tions for the first time were jim Pat- ton, up from the junior ranks, at third base, Dick Wiltshire, a new boy in the outheld, and Harry Winn, another first year, recruit behind the plate. Playing excellent ball at shortstop, Captain jack Hine was the spark plug of the outfit. He was handy with the bat, but unbeat- able in the field. SEBALL W.F.S., 3-Va. Freshmen, 6 Woodberry of the season the powerful dropped its initial game on April the seventh to University of Virginia Freshmen by a 6-3 score. Making numerous costly errors, the Tigers also allowed the visitors nine hits. Wilt- shire led the Orange and Black at the plate with two for four. Captain Hine, performing at his shortstop position, was the outstanding player on the held. W.F.S., 10-V.E.S., 9 In a well-contested game, the lead of which changed hands twice, the Wood- berry nine defeated Virginia Episcopal School, scoring ten runs to the Bishops' nine. The visitors shoved over five tal- lies in the wild seventh inning. Mak- 168 WOODBERRY FOREST ing three in their half of the same frame, the Forestmen accounted for their runs by Hine's hit, a walk, and three errors by the visitors. Ed Lucas, who was moved from the pitchers box to the outfield in that inning, came back to the mound in the eighth and kept the Lynchburgers scoreless for the re- mainder of the contest. Saints Take Two Games Two games were played with St. Christopher's of Richmond, one on April the thirteenth, the other on May the first. Both of these contests were captured by the Saints. In the first duel, played at home, the Tigers outhit the visitors six to five. Minus the services of regular twirler Ed Lucas, however, they were unable to offer any resistance from the mound in the early stages of the game and gave their opponents four- teen walks, while four St. Christopher batters were struck by pitched balls. john Cole, who took over the hurling assign- ment in the fourth, handled his chores quite well, but the damage was already done. The final score was 16-4. On their return engagement in Rich- mond, the Orange and Black played real ball and were finally subdued by a close 5-3 score. The Saints' victory was largely due to the effective pitching of Captain Hutchinson, who limited the Tigers to four hits. As the game ended, Woodberry had the tying runs on bases. W.F.S., 3-S.M.A., 7 The strong S.M.A. baseball team 1 overcame the Tigers, 7-3, at the Acad- emy on April the seventeenth. Claude Hart had the pitching assignment, sub- stituting for Lucas, whose arm was in- jured, and performed his part of the contest with a great deal of skill. Most of Staunton's runs came either directly, or indirectly, as the result of errors on the part of the Orange. W.F.S., 19-Fishburne, 5 Collecting eleven hits and granting the visitors only four, Woodberry crushed the Fishburne Military Acad- emy team, 19-5, on April the twenty- first. Captain Hine shone for the Orange by rapping out a triple, a double, and a one-bagger. The Adams brothers, George and Bill, were close behind the stellar shortstop in the bat- ting.

All of the h o m e team's tallies were scored in two innings, the first and sixth. Dick Wiltshire was first with the stick with three for five. Woodberry again had the better team in its second tilt with the Front Royal Cadets. Although the score was much closer, 5-4, the Orange and Black clearly showed its superiority at the bat with ten hits to the opponents' five. Hurling a splen- COACH COVINGTON did game, Lucas turned eleven men away from the plate on strikeouts. The outstanding hit of the afternoon was a beautiful three-bagger lined out by Mur- ray of R.M.A., while Gregory and Payne of the same team and Bill Adams of Woodberry hit clean doubles. McGuire's Overwhelmed McGuire's University School offered the Woodberry nine scant competition, as the Richmonders succumbed to the monstrous tune of 23-1. Again it was the extraordinary twirling of Lucas and Cole which held the Macks powerless. These two pitchers allowed but three scratch hits. Wiltshire, Cardozo, and Covington of Woodberry paced the sluggers, each getting four bingles. Second Win Over V.E.S. In its second contest of the year with the Tigers, the Bishops of Virginia Episcopal were again repulsed on May eighth by a 3-0 count. Featuring the contest was the mound duel between Lucas and Peeler. Lucas was slightly the better man, giving up only three hits and no runs. His opponent let in three runs and allowed five hits. Those who batted well for Woodberry were Wiltshire with a home run and a sin- gle, Hine and Winn with singles, and Bill Adams with a triple. In the field Hine played brilliantly. St. Alban'sr Series Divided Captain Hine's baseballers defeated St. Alban's of Washington quite easily at home on May seventh, scoring six runs to the visitors' one. But in the second meeting in Washington, the Cap- ital City team turned the tables in a weird 6-5 game. john Cole pitched well in the second encounter, allowing the opponents only six hits to the four- teen amassed by his own teammates. But most of the Woodberry hits came inopportunely and therefore were not very valuable. The heavy batsman of the day was first-sacker Bill Adams of Woodberry with five for six. W.F.S., 3-Fork Union, 8 The Forestmen were set back on May nineteenth for the second time in four days by the powerful Fork Union dia- mond combination, which shoved over eight runs to three for the Orange. Out- fielder Mallory featured the Cadet at- tack with a long circuit clout. Bill Adams, Captain Hine, and Wiltshire all performed well at the plate for Wood- berry. 170 WOOD E.H.S. Rained Out Woodberry ended its 1937 diamond schedule in a rainstorm. Tackling their age-old rival, Episcopal High School, at Alexandria on May twenty-second, the Tigermen had to be content with a BERRY FOREST raincheck, for during the fourth inning torrents of water deluged the playing field and forced the untimely end of the contest. The Maroons by that stage of the game had shoved across two runs, but this by no means was any indication of the ultimate outcome. SUMMARY DATE WITH AT OPPS.

Ccalled on account of rainj -- -- SO 107 171 THE FIR TREE 1938 CAPTAIN ED LUCAS Pitcher In the role of Captain of the 1938 Baseball Team Ed, with two seasons of Varsity ball behind him, should prove one of the most effective pitchers in Old Dominion prep circles. His cool-headedness when the pressure is on and his wide knowledge of the game make him the logical leader of the Wood- berry team. It is expected that more than once in the coming campaign he will turn on the heat as he did against V.E.S. last year when he shut them out on five hits, displaying superb control. A threat at the plate, a sure threat on the rubber, Ed will doubt- lessly go far this year. HARRY WINN C azzfrh er Harry came to Woodberry last year to step imme- diately into a first string catching assignment, the most difiicult position on the squad. It was his lot to hold the team together and to keep pulling strikes out of the pitchers when the going got rough. This mite-sized ball player seemed to eat up the grime and dirt behind the plate in practice and derive great enjoyment in diving high and low to get the ball in a game. Harry was just the fighter needed to fill the job of backstop and, although not power- ful with the willow, his heady ball playing was a pleasure to watch. HARR1ss COVINGTON Second Bare The outstanding athlete at Woodberry, Captain of football and a mainstay on the basketball team. Harriss takes baseball along in his stride. Last year as the keystone sacker he was a member of one of the best double play combinations seen at Wood- berry in many a year: Hine to Covington to Adams. In this role the flash and unerring accuracy of his infield work was displayed. Though not a strong hitter, Harriss hit for an average of .275 in 1937, a creditable percentage which should soar higher this year with two years of first string activity already in the background. 172 WOODBERRY FOREST JOHN COLE Pitcher-Oldfield A newcomer to the team last year john filled a vital spot-that of pairing with Lucas to form the nucleus of the pitching staff. It was not until the season was well on its way that john's twirling tal- ents were uncovered when by necessity he entered the St. Christopher's game and pitched with such ef- fectiveness that as a moundsman a bright future was assured him. Possessed of excellent control and much natural speed john is a born ball player and a real lover of the game. The jovial atmosphere which his presence creates and his fighting spirit make him an asset to any club. DICK WILTSHIRE Ouljield-Fin! Baie Dick is one of those athletes who can always come through in the pinch. If his team needs a base hit, he can be depended upon to get one. Last year he roamed the outer gardens for the most part, but it is expected that he will change to the initial sack in 1938, which in several games of the previous campaign he showed he could well do. His smooth fielding and ability to drag down or scoop up those wild pegs coupled with his potential power at the plate and his natural competitive ability will make him one of the team's spark plugs. JIM PATTON Third Bare To fill a post vacated by the previous year's cap- tain, C. J. Hine, one of Woodberry's outstanding ball players, was the job assigned to Bim at the outset of last season. With his slightness of stature a definite handicap in getting that ball from third base to first Bim turned in a good job afield and always fought it out to the last while at the plate. Possessed of natural talent and with two more years of baseball ahead of him, jim is certain to develop into a Hne ball player and third baseman. He has by nature that muscle coordination so essential in athletics and in addition has a keen will to learn. 173 THE FIR TREE 1938 Back Row-Manager Shenck, Robinson, Coleman, Gwathmey, Judkins, Glenn, Neaves, Couh Covington.

Winning eight matches, tying one, and losing one, the Tigers may justly claim a very successful campaign. Their one defeat came at the hands of Newport News, whom they had beaten earlier in the season on the home course, while the deadlock was with the Virginia freshmen, whom they also downed on Woodberry's course a few days later. Thomas jelferson, Staunton Military Academy, and Fork Union each fell twice before the powerful Forest links- meng Georgetown, Virginia freshmen, and Newport News tasting defeat once. Edmund Gravely, Tazewell Bott, Rich Preyer, and Edgar Parrott, four splendid golfers, comprised the team throughout most of the season. Grad- uation claimed but one of these boys, and so the 1938 team is expected to be excellent also. The season was brought to a close by the Annual Virginia Interscholastic Tournament which is held here each spring. The team crown was annexed by Newport News, with the individual honors in the junior and senior divi- sions being taken by Jack Hamilton and Paul Irwin of john Marshall, respec- tively. 175 CHEER LEADERS Means ffoutivallj, Middleton Cbasketballi, Hole Ctrackj, Coke Cwrestlingj MANAGERIAL STAFF 176 WOODBERRY FCREST . ,,l .maui W .'T ' ' l-Ware announcing order of events in track meet .... 2-Anxiously awaiting finish of 100 yard trials .... 3-Lucas shattering air rather than ball in season opener .... 4-Coach Dick discusses finer points of javelin throwing with Watts. . . . 5-On the bench during Cleveland School game .... 6-with Spring tennis stars go into action .... 7-Beginning of second lap in mile run with Bennett overtaking Branch .... 8-Two of Woodberry's leading golfers, Parrott and Bott .... 9-Varsity baseball recruits getting instructions from Coach Cov .... 10-Winn awaits peg from outfield as opponent scores .... ll-Down in the old swimmin' hole .... 12-Dick clears cross-bar in vault. 177 THE DAILY DOPE 1-At work on the Rabbit farm in the back woods of old Virginy .... 2-Orme enjoys Boyd's mail .... 3-Kite and Boatwright dazed by instructor's instructions. . . . 4- Paying attention to each individual player. . . . 5-Woodberry's feminine talent gives J.

ST. LOTJIS HAUNTS MEDICINE MAN VICTORIOUS AFTER STRENUOUS BATTLE The wan ghost of Sl. Lozzir zbe Six, the first to haunt the premises since the demise of the One-Legged Lady, who disturbed the repose of our predecessors some fifteen years ago, invaded these venerable corridors in the wee small hours of January tenth last and cast a potent spell over a host of inmates. So powerful was the spell that only the deep- est, blackest magic of the local medicine man could dispel it. Witlt the hrst dreary light of that grey morning, the ghost of St. Louis, whose theme song ap- peared to bear the sinister appel- lation of Nice Wcvrk If You Can Keep It, began with hor- rible glee the work of selecting his followers, sparing none. Those to Whom the weird visitant appeared were soon zealously salaaming before him and shout- ing his name in praise. Gliding from room to room, corridor to corridor, building to building, the ghastly spectre selected his sub- jects with haughty indiscrimina- tion, touched them with his enchantment, whispered th e watch-word, and set them on the way to his sanctum, initiates into the Brotherhood of St. Louis.

His whole body ached from the pains of fighting in the past two weeks. The cold air outside would only make his cough worse. It was not justice to make a man under- go such hardships. And all that noise, no peace at all. He just couldnt fight today. After the first warning bugle had blown, his pal became des- perate in attempts to rout him from his shelter, After much persuasion and pleading he final- ly drew his weary body out. Witlt muffled murmurs he drew on his clothes, wincing with every move as it caused him great pain. Half- way dressed, he staggered down the corridor and through the door.

ANNOUNCEMENT Despite offers of big money and all types of third degree per- suasion, this paper has refused to relinquish its name, DAILY DOPE, to the Coca-Cola Co. for advertising purposes. Capisan's Collision Creates Confusion In a mighty collision with Coach Frost, Charlie 'Capisan,' Tiger trainer and assistant coach, sustained ostiological injuries here in early October which rel- egated the dusky South Carolin- ian to crutches for the remainder of the gridiron season and ne- cessitated the promotion of George Cole to the position of acting football manager and jack- of-all-trades. The accident occurred follow- ing a classic exhibition of open- field running, promoted by the energetic football managerial stall and ably demonstrated by Coach Covington and Trainer 'Capi- san'. The managers cleverly en- couraged the demonstrators by use of a gaily coloured snake captured previously, after a ter- rific struggle. Scheme Foilecl It is reported from none too reliable sources that Managers Means, Freeze, and Sebrell were motivated principally by the de- sire to incapacitate cohort 'Capi- san' in order to create more worl: and responsibility for themselves. The election of the Cole twin, however, completely foiled this scheme.

Accordingly, THE DAILY DOPE, with the aid of its star reporter, Super Stupe, has interviewed sev- eral generals of nicotine in the community, and compiled inter- esting material on the weed. Number One of the list was the illustrious president of the Den of Iniquity, smoke-ring art- ist and long drag champion. The B-3 wizard explained that smok- ing, as a habit, was not near as bad as many things, especially the riding habit, or hard cider, since it is much easier to get lit up with a cig. For exam- ple, he said, look at me. I became the brain-trust of the A.F.W. fAssociation of the Filthy Weedj entirely on account of my drag.

As a of the roll-your-own reluctantly consented views on the weed. lar with him were cigars, especially the two-fer brand, and he commented that smoking in the Country Club was practiced by all. Smoking gives you that extra power which is needed when large spiders with spikes in them get in your bed, he said. You can see what ef- fect it has on me. S.S. interviewed last Bird- dog. Birdie confessed he got his name because he was so good THE DAILY DOPE at hunting ducks, but that family connections forced him to patron- ize his uncle, Phillip Morris. His main objection against smoking was it stunted his growth. At the age of 15, he was only 6 feet tall, and didn't weigh but 180 pounds. FAN MAIL The D.

Indeed, a great number of those who had been tapped with the wand of enchantment were so fascinated with his strange powers that they were not able to tear themselves away from this spectre's clutches, and, classes 3 and meals being forgotten, has- tened to continue offering sacri- fices to him.

In an interview grant- ed to the D.D., Mr. Cram said he went so fast it took the paint off the rims, but in spite of this difhculty he expects even greater speeds in the future. Quite sci- entihc in his methods, Sir Mal- colm has evolved a theory based on the fact that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, whereby all curves are eliminated. By means of this he hopes to improve his story, so that it will be a '29 Chevy doing 150 m.p.h. BUTCH BEATS .IUDDO IN FIFTEEN FLAT On Friday, February 24, spec- tators at the Forest intramurals received the thrill of a life-time, when crushing Butch Neaves met Bone-breaker jurlclo judkins.

The head and arm hold em- ployed by Butch in pinning his opponent was perfected only after much practice, but he mod- estly maintained it was all luck. Although he refused to divulge to reporters any of his secrets, it has leaked out that he received his experience in Elkin practicing one-arm driving. THE DAILY DoPE ----5 MID-NITE RAID 0F CHATHAM Oh, read this my children and you shall now see The disaster which happened on Bug Turner The dorm was all quiet and so were the boys, When all of a sudden, there came a great noise, A coat-hanger flung with a dexterous hand At the end of the hallway quite loudly did land. The noise was terrific, it raised a great clatter And out ran the Kipper to question the matter. From doorway to doorway, the prefects went round, 'But nowhere at all could the culprit be found. Puzzled and troubled by such an event, Back to their room both Gut and Ned went. For a time all was still, and the dorm settled down, Then out of the silence there issued a sound. A basket was thrown and rolled on the floor Down the dark corridor past Kipper's door. Again the two prefects rushed out in the hall Determined to stop this thing once and for all. Below, Nagi-Saki had sim'lar intent, So two at a time up the staircase he went. He questioned the Kip, What on earth's going on ? What's causing these noises from lights-out till dawn? This neither the Kip or the Gut understand, And the matter by now is quite out of hand. They question the boys, but each one replies That he knew nought about it, and quickly denies A part in the trouble. So sadly to bed, Go two wondering Prefects, both Harris and Ned. Awake in the morning so early and bright, The boys found out all that had happened that night, The answer was simple, for it was revealed That shrewd Prefect Chatham was closet-concealed, 'Twas he who made the dastardly noise That kept awake Masters and Prefects and boys. Thus ends the story of Chat's escapade. And we say for courage and boldness displayed A Knight of the Carter at least he be made.

Wlien the atmosphere clears, everyone is in his proper seat ex- cept Bazzie, whose remains are hanging to a chandelier. flloml: Bazzie was a chemist student, but now he is no more. For what he thought was H20 was H.T.S.O.,L. through Tazzie's following formula was found: HUKLMNO. The school chemist finally de- duced that this was Tazzie's quaint way of writing HQO. THE END. In going memoirs, the I ntelligenee Tests On Friday, January 21, Wimod- berry students were subjected once more to the annual intelli- gence tests. The quiz this year was full of tricks and twists, and many fell by the way, but one student, unfased by the compli- cations, turned in a perfect score. Here are some excerpts from the paper handed in by none other than Buick Auto, of C-2: Q, Four nzen nre going in dif- ferent direcfionf. One if going norlb, one youth, and one earl.

CAPISAN fCont. from Page lj went to work on their idea im- mediately after they had been routed from their customary aft- ernoon's rest under the trees near the practice field by the unsea- sonal appearance of the afore- said reptile. After a spirited bat- tle the tireless trio turned in one of their hardest jobs of the sea- son when they finally overpow- ered the great six-inch monster and confined it to the dark re- cesses of a duffle bag. To accom- plish this amazing feat they were forced freluctantly howeverj Lo call upon fullback Admiral Dewey, who arose to the occa- sion magnificently and did the work single handed. Hub Elected Keeper Coach Covington was then unanimously elected keeper of the crawling captive, and the duf- fle bag was promptly proffered to the burly golf king. Coach Hub, however, modestly declined the honor and fled in panic, thereby giving Coach Dick's backfield candidates a beautiful exhibition of side-stepping, A hasty consultation ensued in which Coach Merky was desig- nated to announce to Assistant Coach 'Capisan' the latter's ap- pointment to fill in at Coach Cov- ington's vacated position. This giant South Carolinian, however, had gleaned and digested too much from the golf king's dem- onstration of openfield running and in turn began to strut his stuff before the amazed and en- vious backfield aspirants. It was an astounding exhibition and held all eyewitnesses spellbound until Coach Frost, rushing to the aid of his persecuted fellow statesman, collided tremendously with the speeding 'Capisan'. A sharp report like the exploding of a Mazda bulb in the front drive struck terror to the hearts of the onlookers. That could be nothing short of the compound fracturing of the coach's craneum! The crowd surged forward. Alas! Investigation proved the source of the report as the cracking of the tibia of the Tiger's trainer! Obstacle Overcome Thereupon the managerial staff was beset with another perplex- ing problem. In the absence of a derrick how were they to re- L...-...l-7 move those tons of South Caro- linian from the practice field? With characteristic energy and efficiency, however, they sum- moned a host of linemen and new boys, and themselves acting as police escorts, soon had the situation well in hand. For the remainder of the foot- ball season this community stood in awe of the strength of the tree from which the subsequent crutches of 'Capisan' were carved, while George Cole, under the di- rection and tutorage of the in- capacitated trainer-manager-coach, ably carried out the latter's as- signments, and the managerial staff continued its afternoon naps. Reptile Pays Penalty In supposed retribution for its dastardly crime of having appear- ed on the scene to perpetrate such disaster fbut actually to ap- pease their wrath at having been disturbed from their rest, and . . . 4 likewise to cover up their schem- ing against cohort 'Capisan'j the managerial staff caused the rep- tile to pay the supreme penalty. Admiral Dewey was called upon to act as executioner.

Outside there was a Smrnz raging. The ll imz and the Gayle were roar- ing loudly. The Rrzifzzwzler' would Freeze as it hit the deep Snow lying in the Glenn. The Long Gmzfely road stretched out into the night, leading to the Cartier of learning on the hill. Having hailed a passing Carr, the knaves piled in only to be met with an icy glare from jack Frorl. My B012 they were surprised! After a rather dismal greeting, they started school-ward. just missing a Hole in the Rader. Frorz blew his Hman at some Hirkr standing in the Dewey gutter. Finally the happy group reached the Madi- son Bmrzrfy of the highway and on to school they went. Cutfirzg Kube's corner fast, the bounders knew that their doom was nigh.

THE DAILY DOPE Spit-Fire Hall Starts Blaze Cecil Spit-Fire Hall, former inmate of Teejay pen, attempted to ignite the number one cell of the swank W. F. S. penitentiary, Hall, known to many as the Arson King, was attempting to shorten or to end his six-month sentence. The aiding convicts deserted when the llames bit into the ceiling, but Spit-Fire could not be driven from the sight. Assistant Wfarden Harrison and his right hand man, Eight Ball Elijah, rushed in and by heroic actions and quick think- ing extinguished the flames with their secret solution which is oc- casionally served to the prison inmates in milk pitchers during meals. A. K. bribed the two not to report the incident to the Chief XVarden.

This material quickly became known throughout the South for its wearing qualities, and soon there was a demand for Chatham Homespun wherever men wanted quality and durability in their clothes. Today, there's a new story about this old yarn, A famous men's tailor, I.. Greif 8: Bro. of Baltimore, tailors Chatham Homespun into smart, sturdy suits for men, and the whole country is wearing Chatham Homespun suitssat a price you'll pay with a smile! Chatham Homespun suits are now on display at Crafton 8: Sparks in Orange.
