Those who are acquainted with Mr. Carter Walker and his fifty years' work at Woodberry Forest must con- sider this statement as having been made from direct con- tact with our illustrious Headmaster. His powerful in- fluence over all who have passed under him as students will never be forgotten, and as a counsel to boys he was unexcelled. The School loses a great man when Mr. Walker retires after this sessiong there is not one among his many friends who does not realize it and who will not deeply regret it. 12

MR. R. XV. D. rFAYLOR Mr. VV. L. Lord, long one of the most outstanding members of the fae- ulty from the standpoint of teaching, was recognized last year in an admin- istrative way lzy being appointed as- sistant headniaster. However, this has not ended his teaching for he still handles Sixth Form mathematics as well as holding his post as head of the entire math department. MR. S. VVALKER 13 S As Senior Master Mr. Taylor held for many years a position of inesti- mable value in managing the discipli- nary matters of XVoodberry Forest. Although he no longer does this work and has likewise retired from teaching his traditional Latin classes. he is still active in affairs of the School chiefly through his position as head of the Memorial lnhrmarv Fund. MR. W. L. Loran Mr. S. Walker, son of VVood- berry's founder, and intimately known to the students and faculty alike as Mr. Iohn, is noted for his keen sense of humor and unrestrained friendli- ness. Formerly a teacher of mathematics, he has through his active interest been largely responsible for the School's athletic publicity and reputation, and has always been an active participant in school affairs.
