To Spiders on Land and Sea Hail to our sons in the midst of the battle! Hail to our sons who fare forth on the wave! Glory and honor to them without measure, All praise to the sons that our fair College gave! Nobly they answered when duty first called them; Gladly they followed the glorified trail. Our proud Alma Mater through them has won honor; God strengthen and ward them, and may they prevail! Strong soldiers of right in the true cause of freedom; Each victory they win brings their college more fame. We praise their brave hearts and their spirits courageous, And ardently, gladly, we laud their proud name. Brave sons of the College, we soon shall be with you; Share with you the glories and dangers of war; Encounter the foe in the fore of the fighting. And acquit us like men midst the battle's wild roar. Hail Alma Mater! thy sons are thy treasures: Today they are proving thine own sincere worth— Their brave deeds of valor shed honor and glory On the school of their choice and the land of their birth.

Senior Class History T the parting of the road we stand and pause; there is a tempta tion to say that we are on the threshold of life with a mystery beyond the door to which we have no key, but that would be mere poetical imagery masquerading as truth. We believe that the four years of our college sojourn are part of life as real and important as any years that the future may bring. The world has moved at a rapid pace since that September day of 1914 when some one hundred and twenty rats assembled in shivering conclave before the mighty Committee on Courses and Degrees. Numerically, we are but the shadow of our former self; and yet we are vain enough to believe that the collegiate struggle for existence has ended in a survival of the fittest. The Class of 1918 has had an unusual opportunity. It is the first class that has spent its entire life at the Westhampton site in preparation for an extraordinary responsibility—in the enjoyment of the freedom and inspiration that is presented by a thorough renovation and an everbrightening future. The intellectual atmosphere that we breathed was at all times surcharged with the smoke of battle and the din of cannon across the ocean. The dying agonies of the Civilization of the Past did not leave us unstirred. The worldwide wave of unrest left its impress on us in a certain vague indecision, a difficulty in proceeding along the routine path of study. Somehow we stood by our academic guns; we have met the enemy within the fold and he is ours. As we pause at the branching roads, there is for the present but one choice—the Path of Duty on the grim highway of war darkened by the shadow of The Enemy of All.

LEONARD CECIL HUBBARD 'Hub" Princeton, W. Va. CONCORD NORMAL SCHOOL, ATHENS, W. VA. UNIVERSITY, W. VA., SUMMER SCHOOL
Applicant for M.A. Tau Kappa Alpha; Improvement in Debate Medal, '14'15; Secretary Philologian Literary Society; President I. P. A.; First Prize in Pro hibition Oratorical Contest; Winner in Virginia Prohibition Oratorical Contest; Representative National I. P. A. Convention, '16'17; President Philologian Literary Society; Assistant Editor inChief "Messenger," '17'18.
Behold the patron god of Prohibition and the leading exponent of perseverance in Richmond College! When he first came to us from the rugged hills of West Virginia we knew that he was a diamond in the rough, and since his ap pearance we have noticed with pleasure his grad ual development into the highest type of college man, loyal, capable, sincere, esteemed and ad mired. Though his first attempts at public speak ing were mirthprovoking, through persistent ef fort and indomitable spirit he has won his way until he now ranks with the strongest of our speakers, numbering among his achievements par ticipation in an intersociety debate, winning the Intercollegiate Prohibition Oratorical contest in Richmond College, winning the prize in the State contest of the Intercollegiate Prohibition Asso ciation, and subsequently representing Virginia in the interstate contest. Hubbard has been the soul and spirit of the I. P. A. movement in our College and in all Prohibition affairs has been the leader of his fellowstudents. His capability as a student is attested by the fact that within three years he completed the work necessary for a B.A. degree, while in this additional year he has won his Master's degree.

Delegate to Blue Ridge Conference, '16, '17; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, '16'17; Treasurer Y. M. C. A., 17'18; Editor Y. M. C. A.

A New York Yankee in Dixie's capital, Abrams has won a place of honor among us by his capa bility, resourcefulness, dependability and his friendly spirit. He has made a good record as a student, debater and preacher, and the Y. M. C. A. has found in him one of its staunchest workers and truest friends. His dealings with the fair sex will always remain a mystery to us, though we do know that he is much impressed with the Southern damsels and that there are several spots of particular interest to him in Rich mond. At every social stunt we find Ray on hand with a lady. Abrams has twice been a debater in the intersociety contests, and is a strong and convincing speaker. No doubt this has something to do with his success as a spellbinder among the fair sex. Abrams hails from a town called Patchogue, on Long Island. If there are any more like him we hope he'll send them along, for we need steady, trustworthy, levelheaded, efficient and constructive men of hi3 type. Abrams has been given many difficult tasks by his fellow students, such as require energy, perseverance and ability, and he has never fallen down on the job. Abrams has all the earmarks of the man who makes his mark in the world, and here's wishing him success.

We nicknamed him "Pip," but that was only be cause Perry Hamilton had copyrighted "Pep '— we came as close as we dared without infringing upon the patent law. And "Pip" is a worker, insistent, persistent and consistent. Moneymaking has been his major subject in college, but this pursuit of Mammon has been an altruistic en deavor which has brought him only sleepless nights and a prematurely bald pate. He has done his own bit, as well as the "bits" of a number of other men, and in that charmed circle wherein the Westhampton manhaters reign he has been no slacker. In fact, his nerve in this respect is truly notable; he has left a permanent imprint of his rubber heels on every foot of that little wind ing path, "across the lake," and 'twas not all in vain. Tis whispered that many a feminine mis anthrope hath he sped on the sawdust trail of re pentance. In the business of Life he will be a topnotcher. Having braved successfully the perils of soliciting ads for a college annual, we feel that the management of the Standard Oil Co. is not too arduous a position for him. "But Doc!"

Another specimen from the "Southwest. He came to us with predictions that indicated the possession of the silver tongue, and he has not disappointed us. We have often wondered in what miraculous way these sons of the mountains receive from the eternal hills their power to riss into the ethereal and shower down the star dust, and have decided that the secret is all thir own. He was given an extra name, perhaps, to insure his retention to earth, but now and then he soars into the unknown heights, where few may venture if they would, and brings back with him all glittering gold—another medal. And now as class orator we expect the usual vindication of our rights and recitation of our deeds of fame. His merit extends further to other spheres—pugilistic, for instance. After our rat banquet he almost made a meddlesome Soph don a plushlined hard wood overcoat with silver patch pockets, and great was the rejoicing thereof (among the rats). Since then he has become temperate by trying to run the I. P. A. on diluted grapejuice. A Cicero, a student of Locke, W. j. B., and William James. We proclaim that this combination will appear in the Hall of Fame and his activities be recorded in the annals and archives of our history.

"H. D." is one of the jolly Chatham boys and reflects honor upon that noble and historic club. We always expected to get good men from Chat ham Training School, and we certainly were not disappointed in this one. A good, sturdy up standing man, just chock full of pep, and with a friendliness that will not be denied, Hiram stands well with all the student body. Hiram is one of those loyal athletes who couldn't quite make a place on the Varsity eleven, but who, nevertheless, helped make a winning team by holding down positions on the scrub aggregation. Many an aft ernoon of battering has Hiram stood, and later has watched the team that he helped get in shape sweep down the gridiron to victory. Although a good student and an athlete of ability, Hiram has also made a good record in the Philologian Society, where he frequently entertains the mem bers with choice readings, stirring declamations or forceful debates. It is in the social realm, how ever, that he is at his best, and one of his chief diversions since entering college has been the frequent attendance upon B. Y. P. U. parties and Chatham Club stunts. His choice of partners for these occasions reveals his expert judgment in matters pertaining to the fair sex, and you will always find him accompanied by one of the fair est damsels that the West End can provide.

Render your salaams, all ye hobnailed mortals. Here is an amalgamation of Paderewski, Marti nelli and Beau Brummel, an unusual case of mul tiple personality. In his role as Paderewski he officiates at the chapel organ, and has there earned unchallenged fame and gratitude by resisting suc cessfully the powerful temptation to play hymns with ragtime syncopation. When he dons the Martinelli costume he is chief college soloist end mainstay of the quartette; his mightiest triumph in this line was the unforgettable "musical" ren dition performed upon his nasal protuberance at the Senior party across the lake. As Beau Brum mel he simply acts natural. He was born to preside, and the Senior class displayed its char acteristic wisdom and foresight by electing him Chief Mogul. In all his life he made only one grievous mistake—he spent two years at the Wil liamsburg institution (we mean the college, of course). But we all make mistakes, and all honor to him who acknowledges his errors. By moving to this Baptist hotel, J. Foster has atoned for his sin and has proved that our confidence in his judgment was not misplaced. Go to, Orpheus, thou hast our faith.

Applicant for B.A. Kappa Sigma; Captain Co. "B"; Philologian Literary Society, Treasurer, '17; VicePresident, Winter Term, '18; Secretary Debating and For ensic Council, *17'18; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, '15 '17; Treasurer Y. M. C. A., '16'17, President, *17'18; Delegate to Y. M. C. A. Virginia Con vention.

P. A., '16'17; VicePresident I. P. A., '17'18.
Titus is a right hard guy to get on to. We have never heard of his being seen with a girl, nor indeed ever heard any scandal whatever about him in connection with the fair sex. And yet some strange things have happened. Probably the most convincing circumstance which leads us to believe that this young man really has a weakness for femininity is this: When he went home Christ mas he returned with a frostbitten thumb. Now we must admit that there is nothing particularly damning in a frostbitten thumb—that is, unless it hurts mighty bad—and Titus got out of it pretty well by explaining that he grasped the handle of his suitcase so tightly that circulation stopped and so his thumb was frozen. Quite neatly done, Titus, but we have a different hypothesis, and 'tis founded mainly on the firm conviction that for a fellow to stop the circulation in his thumb he must be squeezing something far more interesting than a suitcase (provided, of course, he isn't crossing the boundary from a wet to a dry state). Even if Titus is somewhat diffident when it comes to the fair sex, he is prominent among men, and his prominence is the result of his thoughtful and un selfish services for others. His activities in Y. M. C. A. work justly earned him the position of President, and his energy and devotion to his work have not failed to make a success of it. As dispenser of our epistular blessings from home and elsewhere, Titus is never at a loss to tell any fellow on the campus whether he has any mail, and how much. If conscientious work and a true spirit of helpfulness still count, we predict a great future for Titus.

ROLAND JENNINGS BEAZLEY "R. J." Upper Zion, Va. SPARTA HIGH SCHOOL
Applicant for B.A. Mu Sigma Rho Literary Society; Ministerial Association; Tidewater Club; Y. M. C. A.
For a just comprehension of this guileless youth we were under compulsion to resort to a consulta tion with the Oracle at Delphi—but as yet have received no reply to our inquiry. Incognito. There are some among us whose sterling worth will be appreciated after the years. Those who know him best have classified him thus. From the moment that this resident and stockholder of "B" section hit the campus his industry and seriousness of purpose were noted and respected accordingly. Since then his favorite song has been "Oh, Those Delightful Women, How I Love Them All," and his motto, "Safety in num bers." So far he has carried on this camouflage with marked success, but we have an intimation that his present salvation will some day turn traitor, and this exponent of platonic friendship will be carried hence either over the "River Charlie" or to the castle of the Benedicts. A steady climber toward the ethereal ranges of the Academic Alps is he, a lover of books, and one acquainted with all the esoteric doctrines and re condite learning in that sphere in which move the higher critics of the realm. Versed in the art of making oneself agreeable, a true friend and loyal —this much we know.

Applicant for D.S. Bowles is one of our commuters. In fact, we often wondered if he did not have a job as brake man on a train, so far does he come to college every morning. However, he has one serious dis qualification—he is too bashful to yell out the stations. On the level, this Chesterfieldian is one of our most seriousminded students. He has majored in the hardest classes he could find, and, strange to say, without any regrets, so far as we can see. Added to all of that, he piled on the radio class to occupy spare time. He is a man of few words, but filled with the milk of human kindness, always ready to share any superior knowledge he may possess with those less fortu nate, a man who does things instead of talking of them, whose very record speaks for itself. Your steadiness and perseverance deserve suc cess, old man; may you enjoy it in ample quan tity.

About Albert Cheetham there is a profound mys tery, a deepseated, bloody mystery that Sherlock Holmes would have hesitated to attempt to solve. It's just this—how he ever does the amount of work he undertakes and does it all so well. Let him take a class, and he begins to tell all the others about it, starting with the professor ar.d ending with the "D" man that sits "way back" there on the last row. He speeds things up be cause he knows the subject matter. And, in cidentally, he accelerates his grades to such an ex tent that when the grades are entered on his re port in the Registrar's office, only the first two letters of the alphabet are necessary. As a lit erary man, his ability is well known. He edited the Messenger, and when he went into Y. M. C. A. work at Camp Jackson he took over the management of the camp paper and put it high up in the list of various papers published at the cantonments all over the country. This was not quite enough work for him, so he came back to college this year at the beginning of the second term and undertook the gigantic task of making up his back work and winning his degree. Yes, he hits the line hard all the time, and yet he has lime to be a friend to man and to do a favor at every turn. The old saw about a gentleman and a scholar applies fully to Albert Cheetham. He is every inch of both.

Here we have "Shorty," or, in the language of "Joy," our "abbreviated and bespectacled editor of the Collegian." He looks quiet and harmless enough, but despite his placid smile this youth presides over the farfamed Bolsheviki table at the refectory, and is unerring in his aim with rolls and butter dish alike. "Shorty" doesn't say much, but when he opens his mouth, look out; if it isn't a stale joke it is bound to be something worth while. A reporter and editor of note is this lad also, through whose assidious efforts we attain publicity in the columns of his dearly beloved News Leader. In reflecting the spirit and opin ions of the college community in the Collegian he has succeeded admirably. Not a man he to stir uo unnecessary strife, but yet not one to relinquish his rights because of it. As a rule, however, even as the Tasmanians, so says "Shorty,"' "absit in vidia." You have only to read the "Shorty Says" column in the Collegian and you will no longer wonder how this young man can pull dcwn all A s. ' Shorty" must have an illimitable quanlity of that divine dispensation known as "bull," be cause besides what he uses in his classes and in his editorials he still has plenty to throw away on MeyerGreentree's clothes and Dabney's shoes. As a gentleman, scholar, and yet a good sport, Shorty, I take off my hat—or, to be military, I salute you.

Hairsplitting tales has he told us concerning his escapades, and in the art of rapidfire repartee in Stein's joint, only one has been found to withstand his onslaughts— praise be unto Ellyson Robinson. In pronouncing judgment upon this Duke, we shall not follow the Biblical advice: Out of their own mouths shall ye judge them. Nay, rather do we believe that he has surrounded himself with an extensive cam ouflage screen, and that beyond the veil there is a good fellow, a bright student, a royal sport, and a soldier worthy of the foe.

He had just donned long trousers four years ago when he entered, but who can believe that now of this solemn sage of South Richmond? All the time he has been the railway and power com pany's star customer, despite the loops, circles and triangles it makes in bringing Frank to college every morning, which is so non gratum to that oftspoken truth regarding straight lines between points, which he had cast at him as a rat. Can you blame a man for saying a college education is impractical? Not that Frank would say such a thing, for he is a man who has made his time count. Always an honor man to the extent that F. B.

M. C. A.
Bringing with him something of the charm and spirit of the far South, "Entzie" came to us in his Junior year and has been very much present ever since. Because part of his life was spent in Brazil, his knowledge of Spanish is envied by every man on the campus, and many thought that it was truly the eighth wonder of the world when they first heard Entzminger and Pinto carry on a sixtymileanhour conversation in Spanish, ac companied by appropriate hand movements and squinting of the eyes. Without the accompani ments the greatness of it all would not have been so apparent. "Entzie" speaks two other languages besides Spanish—English and cornetish. When he puts the instrument to his mouth and begins fingering the stops lovingly, you can stay around without endangering your eardrums and your self respect, something one is not able to say about all the members of the Richmond College Bat talion Band. He is a chummy soul, is this lad from the South. If he likes you well enough he may write a little poem and dedicate it to you, and if you are really in his confidence he will tell you of the charm of Rio de Janeiro and his plans for doing banking work in South America when he graduates. At all times he knows more than appears on the surface, which means that he can keep a secret, and that he knows himself and the course he is pursuing. This being the case, he is sure to get the things for which he is aiming.

PERCY RYLAND FOX "Percy" Penola, Va. SPARTA HIGH SCHOOL
Applicant for B.A. Glee Club, ' 1718; Band, '18; Tidewater Club; Assistant Librarian; Vigilance Committee.
Percy is the most noteworthy of the foxes that dwell on the Richmond College campus. He first came into prominence when his clear, sweet tenor voice attracted the attention of those critics who guided the destiny of the Glee Club. Percy certainly does make a fine appearance in his dress suit, and when the ladies behold him in all his glory they just can't make their eyes behave. Nat urally, when the military band was introduced at Richmond College, he was given the job of blow ing the big bass horn. You certainly have missed something if you haven't heard the R. C. Bat talion Band and Percy's horn. He can make some noise, and all the other fellows have a hard time to make themselves heard. During his Se nior year Percy felt that the Richmond College campus was not quite broad enough a field for his activities, and so he decided to spend his mealtimes at Westhampton College. Thus we see Percy making his way across the lake three times a day to see that the fair damsels are plentifully supplied with the staff of life. He enjoys all their experiences, except when he gets the girls mixed up and calls them by the wrong names. Fox is one of our most loyal students, and one worthy of our esteem and admiration. He has chosen medicine as his career, and we feel safe in prophesying that he will be as successful in filling the sick with gladness as he has been in filling our ears with din.

And, ah, the rude awakening as the search for the filthy buffaloed jitnote doth commence, wherewith the watered product of the cow is bought. Yes, such is Life. What will he do as he goes forth in this world? We know not; he knows not; who knows? Whither? Why? Wherefore?

Sweet singer, editor, debater and intellectual light, Perry is one of those quiet, unassuming chaps who do their work without a lot of sound and fury and who do it remarkably well. His irrepressible good humor, his constant flow of sparkling wit, and his general friendliness have won for him many sincere and appreciative friends on the campus. "Pep," as he is called, has been one of the pillars of the Philologian Literary Society. When the editor of the Messenger went into Army Y. M. C. A. work instead of returning to College last fall, the Philologians without hesi tancy selected him as editor, and the splendid rec ord of the publication is a tribute to their good judgment in reposing this trust upon him. "Pep" possesses an excellent bass voice, and his singing in the Glee Club and in the vesper services has won him quite a reputation as a vocalist of ability. Perry has several little stunts that he is rather proud of. One of these is "pulling" subtle jokes in the classrooms, and the other is toasting bread on an electric toaster which he has secreted in his room. Hamilton doesn't confide the plans for his career to many people, but we know he has the "goods" and is sure to reach the mark he aims at.

"Mac" is a quiet, unobtrusive chap. We don't say this just to use a stock phrase, but because we mean it. When he first appeared in our midst we thought him almost meek, and it was only when we knew him that we fully realized those qualities of sterling worth and firm, if unboister ous, adherence to his principles and ideas of right which have won him the respect of faculty and student alike. Did I say that "Mac" is meek? He may appear so among our riotous roughnecks, but put him among the fairer sex and he is at one and the same time a lion, a bear or any other animal in the menagerie which may prove sufficiently descriptive. To say that "Mac" gets by with the girls is insufficient; the path behind him is literally strewn with brokenhearted vic tims of those expressive brown eyes and that bewitching smile. 'Tis said that, like the pro verbial good sailor, "Mac" has a girl in every port, and we are inclined to believe that he has two or three in some. But, alas, he that taketh up the sword shall die by the sword, and at last the arrows of the little bare god that waged such effectual warfare against the gentle breasts of his stricken victims, turned against his own, and now behold "Mac," transfixed, lies bleeding at the feet of Beauty. Though pierced by Cu pid's shaft, he is still very much alive in other respects. Gifted with a dry humor, yet sparkling at times, he has a way which works him irresist ibly into our hearts. He has an abundance of good sense, is square as a die and the very soul of honor. We love him for his love, we honor him for his honor, and diverted by one of his pleasant sallies, we all agree in pronouncing "Mac" a good fellow.

Grundy, Va. GRUNDY HIGH SCHOOL
Applicant for B.A. Southwest Virginia Club; Philologian Literary Society, VicePresident, '17'18; Y. M. C. A.; I. P. A.; Sigma Delta Chi.
It was a dark, stormy night in January when this stalwart son of the Alleghanies laid aside his six shooters, closed up his "moonshine" machine, left the great Southwest in darkness, and proceeded in search of the "lamp of knowledge." We first remember him, surrounded by a group of "Freshies," as he described his home county in following terms: "The moon doesn't shine except when you make it; the mountains are so close together that the dogs wag their tails up and down instead of horizontal, and the wildcats grow so large we use their hides for blankets." As a politician, "P. J." is simply unexcelled, and so great is his success that happy is that aspirant who gets him for a campaign manager. We look for ward to the time when the whole political realm of Western Virginia will be so influenced by his oratorical effervescence that just one word from him—and they vote to suit themselves. As a card sharp and a ladies' man, "P. J." takes the cake. Sometimes he mixes the two. It is said that once when he was playing card with his lady friend, he was playing for hearts, she for diamonds; her father came in with a hand of clubs, and "P. J." thought he had better leave before it became nec essary for the undertaker to take a hand of spades. But with it all Hibbitts is a gentleman and a scholar, and a judge of human nature. We wish for him the choicest fruit from the tree of success.

Quite a combination do we find in E. Carl— track man, chemist, general good fellow and a sure hit with the ladies. He is a real Spider, this young chap. In one year on the old campus and four years out here among the primeval pines he has imbibed so much of the "Spider Spirit" that he is the very personification of the soul of Old Red and Blue, and Freshies who have ob served him may do well to follow in his steps. In all things that make for the betterment of the school, Carl has a share and plays his part nobly —at all our athletic contests he's right there with the pep pulling for old R. C. Back in 1916, when that fivemile marathon was run over on Church Hill, Hoover was one of the stalwarts that went through the gruelling contest, and now he wears a silver medal as a mark of his prowess while the school conferred upon him the Trac A. R. A. Hoover made quite a record for him self in the field of Chemistry, and when he heard the need of chemists for special war work he vol unteered his services and was accepted by the gov ernment. Shortly after the winter term exams, his call came, and he left college walls for Uncle Sam's laboratory, where he is now engaged in highly specialized work. All Richmond College men wish him success and feel confident that he will make good. So long, Carl; good luck to you!

Applicant for B.A. Mu Sigma Rho Literary Society; Tidewater Club; Y. M. C. A.; Enlisted in U. S. Navy.
"Father" Kay is one of our old standbys. We can always count on him, and never yet has he failed a friend in need. He hails from Sparta— Virginia, not Greece—and in many respects he is a true Spartan—brave, stoical, faithful to trust. "Father" has two favorite amusements, shaking hands and showing the might of his powerful grip, and waiting on sick students. Undoubtedly, Kay possesses the strongest grip of all the men in College, and he has made many a mighty athlete wince because of the power of that handshake when the other fellow had essayed to prove his prowess. Almost any day after a meal Kay may be seen wending his way from the refectory with a tray of food for some unfortunate invalid, and many a man in Richmond College is thankful to "Father" for the little kindnesses and attentions that Kay rendered him during periods of illness. Kay is one of those good, solid, reliable, friendly fellows that add stability and wholesomeness to the student body. As the time for our departure and separation approaches we can say of him that Richmond College has been a better and a happier place of sojourn because he was here among us.

This man towers above us all, and his eyes peer down from a dizzy height of about six feet six inches with a glance of compassion at the puny mortals below. Sometimes, however, we think we can discern in these orbs a look of longing, of yearning for the Earth—but only sometimes. To remove him from our midst and thus to avoid odious comparisons, we have made him the Chief Potentate of the Student Government, and no more imposing sight could greet the eye of man than Lacy on a platform. His relentless prosecu tion of the offenders in the famous Newcomer V3. Toiletpaper case is in itself sufficient to carry his name down to the Spiders yet unborn as the most vigorous President that ever faced the marble bust of Cicero in the chapel. And "Shaks has a reputation which extends far beyond these halls of learning even unto the wilds of Swansboro. As a nightschool teacher, he has made his name feared and revered by all the embryonic loafers and pickpockets of that benighted realm. We would fain tell you of his escapades with the bet ter half of mankind, but here is a veil beyond which we might not see—all is darkness and mystery—let us not disturb this Holy of Holies. We pass him on to the busy world with the con fident knowledge that he will always be seen in a crowd. "Come here; I got a little proposition to make to you—see?"

'Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look"—but he's quite docile and won't hurt you. His hunger is for knowledge, and he's thirsty for silent gazes into those dark brown orbs. Yet the old adage, amantes amentes," must hereby witness an ex ception, for verily here is a mortal of marked ability and equilibrium. Bill has helped many a rat to find his way through the intricate mazes of Math—the Freshman bugbear—and they rise up to call him blessed, when the countless number of the slain have been revived after the battle. A veritable willo'thewisp, and almost ubiqui tous, could you ever catch up with him? Here, and then there, and then he's disappeared. As a regular patron of the V. R. & P. Co., Senator stands unsurpassed, while it is an open secret that he was the chief promulgator of the skip stop in Barton Heights. This perhaps accounts for his believing so firmly (and against all com ers) in government ownership of railroads and municipal purchase and operation of like utilities. We can't characterize him—you have to know him. Once you pierce that thinly veiled reserve and learn that smile, you enter into a firm friend ship for life. Reticent, perhaps, and somewhat succinct, but never too busy to do a good turn or respond to your call to breakfast.

Applicant for B.A. Sigma Phi Epsilon; Mu Sigma Rho Literary Society; Y. M. C. A.; Tidewater Club, Secre tary, '16'17.
"Clint" is one of the silent four—the others are Dunford, Seward and Tune. If silence is golden, he ought to be as rich as Croesus, for never is his voice heard in the heat of discussion, nor on the speaker's stand, nor on the startled midnight air, as the revelers returned from the city make their way across the campus to the dorms. Quiet, un assuming, but with imperturbable good nature and a sly little smile, Mason is liked very much by those who really know him. He rarely confides his plans to anyone, but we have heard that he intends to amass a fortune by teaching the first two years after graduation, and then retire to his potato farm on the eastern shore of Virginia to spend his old age in peace, and comfort and se curity. One of "Clint's" favorite pastimes is playing rook, and often in the regions 'round about Thomas Hall he sits at the table with three others of his ilk, and in masterful style, with cunning and cleverness, reveals his unparalleled ability in making bids and "setting" the other fellow. Frequently are heard his quiet chortles of glee as his victims fall prey to his skillful playing, and rarely does he rise from a series of games without his opponents' goat in his absolute possession. But this is a mere pastime. Without doubt Mason is one of the most faithful and con sistent students on the campus, and in regularity and tenacity of purpose he is excelled by none. He has those qualities that will enable him to make good in the career he selects, and as he fares forth into the wide world our best wishes go with him.

A youth of many parts is he; that is to say, his heart is broken and dwelleth apart. Until the darts of Eros struck him, energy was his nick name. In oratory, debating and declamation, in every branch of the forensic art, he reigned su preme; in the social whirl he was a regular spiral nebula; in that noble sport known as "politick ing" he was the equal of Theo. Roosevelt and John Hirschberg—but, ah, how times did change! Anyway, love seemed to take the pep out of him, but in return it cast its refining influence upon him to such a degree that he straightway hit the sawdust trail. He preaches now and expects to make soulsaving his vocation. Knowing his per suasive ways and his skill as exercised in the past, we predict for him a brilliant future as a specialist in softening the hardened hearts of the female sheep of his flock. A maiden he saw and nevermore was he the same. The exact nature of the reaction will never be known, but when he applied to the navy recruiting officer he was told that he was the victim of valvular oscillation, which caused his heart to undergo sudden fluctuations of beat.

This is "Poony." He is one of the few now among us who knew Memorial Hall, De Land Cottage, etc., of the old College. Bright eyes, brighter complexion, and brightest of all hair. You need not be told about his good humor if you know him; his name is synonymous with it. His basso profundo laugh is familiar and cheerful to us all. "Poony" has tried his hand at nearly everything in college and has had much success. In Math and Physics he has become weary in searching for more unconquered worlds. He also was interested in another conquest, we are told, in one of those higher select classes, but this is really another story. He swung the sturdy gavel for the Mu Sigs (despite the "down with the law and order" element), and sought and scented slip pery simoleons for this Spider. When Fate will give the command to "Fall in!" "Poony" will be there.

This handsome, browneyed youth, with the cryp tic smile, hails from Isle of Wight—and is proud of it. So desirous was he of proving to the stu dent body of Richmond College that Isle of Wight was a wonderful place that he brought his younger brother to College last fall as proof positive of the quality of his native regions. "B. P." is one of those quiet, consistent workers who set out with a definite goal and who play per sistently and steadfastly until it is attained. He has proved no marvel either in classes or in ath letics, but everyone recognizes him as a steady, dependable fellow who can be counted upon to do his part. His quiet confidence in himself and his fitting dignity of bearing have won the ad miration and respect of the professors as well as of his fellowstudents. Seward has many of the qualities that make for success, and Richmond College will have reason one day to be proud to own him as her son.

The village gossipmonger would not enjoy the task of discussing this fairhaired, frecklefaced son of Spiderdom. Nothing but good can be spoken of him. Many are his friends, while his enemies are as numerous as children in No Man's Land. He is never sensational; there is in him nothing of the flare that produces meteors, none of that unstable stuff that furnishes the glitter of a comet's tail. Steadiness is the cornerstone of his makeup, and his only fault is that he is per haps too steady, a little superconservative. He has done everything demanded of him, and done it well. Political Science and Trust problems are his specialties; tennis and dancing constitute his sideline. As we watched his steady course in an undisturbed college orbit, we have sometimes gazed upon him with envy as one of that rare group of blessed mortals who have everything their way and without apparent exertion. Trav eling is his sole mania, and if he does not get lost somewhere in the wilds of Michigan we pre dict for him a successful career before the bar (court bar, Mr. Peters), or in the management of some huge railway system.

"Earnest" he is and forever shall be. This ap pellation is justifiable in more ways than one. Whoever named him had prophetic insight. Wher ever you chance upon him and whatsoever he's attempting, this specimen of the genus homo is always and ever in "earnest." Be it endeavor ing to smash the inflated spheroid through the resilient mesh, striding to the tune of one, two, three, four; convincing Whiskers that by now he knows Math, or knitting his brows over some volume of accepted lore, he maintains his rating. A hard student, a ready conversationalist, a will ing listener and lover of the fair sex, to which latter he acknowledges a considerable propensity. However, he is best observed in the act of haranguing his unperturbed and phlegmatic par ishioners and expounding the eternal verities. When he arises from his lair and goes out on some soulhunting expedition, none could be more successful, and we are convinced that when Sun day the First becomes a falling star and has passed into the pale of the remotest oblivion, this young aspirant will have shot like a meteor into the galaxy of those high lights that have kept aglow the spiritual ardor of those on the terra firma.

Have you ever beheld a finer speciment of an embryonic doctor? But Jakie has already ex celled in many fields of endeavor. Owing to his ability to skin the cat through a threeinch rectan gular hole over the door, the name "Transom Rat" has clung to him and will ever be called to memory where this member of our class is brought into our consciousness. "Shoo" is at once a doctor, financier, ladykiller, and a rook shark. His favorite occupation is "shooting the moon." He never allowed the curriculum or any other phase of college life to interfere with this, his favorite pastime. Talk about pugilism!!! Jess Willard would look like an English sparrow compared with a whiteheaded eagle. This man can actually hold "Puss" Ellett, Jr., to a stand still twenty bouts. Though he has never been able to demolish his strongest opponent, he vows that when he becomes a man he will lick "Puss" or bust. He's about the most patriotic chap that ever entered the portals of Richmond College. Anything that originated in Pearisburg or Giles County just simply can't be beat for either quan tity or quality, and he will cite himself as the best illustration of that fact. "J.

SPIDER,
Junior Class History WAS in the threatening days of September, 1915, that we entered the awful arena. Over the rolling hills and through the lonesome pines came the hairlifting and bloodcurdling yells: "Rats Out!" "Rats Out!" And out we went, shivering, trembling, homesick strangers. But, even as there was burnt upon us the insignia of the Rat class, there was burning in our hearts the Spirit of '19—a new class was born; our history was begun. How the perennial pines must have sighed and smiled and smiled and sighed as they witnessed the transition of Freshmen to Sophomores! Ignorance, Humble ness, Meekness, Obedience—all personified in the lowly "Rats." But behold the advan tages of a college education: Wisdom (?), Haughtiness, Pride, Conceit. The world was ours, and we had a fence around it. The pendulum had swung to its opposite extreme; we Ivere Sophomores. As we fleet along, the process of selection and elimination becomes continually more evident. We lost onehalf of our original number in the first lap; and when we passed the second milestone we were reduced by half again. How many will there be in June, 1919, who can say, "I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course"? Among many Junior honor men may be mentioned: The winner of the largest number of "A's" in the Fall Term; the Best Orator; two Best Declaimers; two Tau Kappa Alpha (Forensic Fraternity) members; Editor, Manager, and Assistant Manager of the Messenger; Captain and ExCaptain of Baseball; Manager and Assistant Manager of Basketball; Manager and ExManager of Football; Record College Broad Jumper; not to name the Varsity men, Glee Club members, Battalion officers, etc. Last fall the Class of '19 sent eight embryonic doctors to the Medical College; and upon the College Service Flag are eleven stars in honor of our loyal classmates. How many the next draft will call, no one can tell. Today we are threefourths of the way up the Academic ladder (if our professors are not so heartless as to shake us now.) Tomorrow we shall "go over the top." Then, "Beyond the Alps lies Italy." Night before last * we were "Rats"; Yesterday we were Sophomores; Today we are Juniors; and Tomorrow—ah, Tomorrow! "Backward, turn backward, O Time in your flight; make me a 'Rat' again just for tonight." HISTORIAN.

Sophomore Class History N September, 1916, we arrived; we suffered; in fact, we existed under sufferance; we banqueted with our fair sisters and became in reality a class; we managed to exist the year to its end. September, 1917, we returned—Sophomores, "lords of all we surveyed;" such a feeling! Someone else suffered. Some one else existed under sufferance, in fact. So here we are! "Toot your own horn, or it will not be tooted," they tell us. Well, NineteenTwenty proposes to have her horn tooted, all right, and believes it an instrument well worth the trouble. And this is the place for the tooting. From the time we reached the campus, the largest "Rat" class that ever entered the College, till the present, we have been a force felt throughout the manifold activities of "the life." Every place, every time, has found us "not wanting." From the bloody gridiron to the dovelike Ministerial Association and—shall I say it?—the volleyball court, our men have done valiant service. To mention a very few of them: "Boots" Dorsey in foot ball, "Little Dick" Dickerson and "Bolshevik" Robinson in basketball, "Burley" Spencer on the track, and others, everywhere have won fame. But one triumph, inasmuch as its accomplishment is a credit to the whole class as a class, deserves special mention. To have stacked their rooms, corralled them, taken away their girls, and sent a whole "Rat" class through the gauntlet on the night of the eternal "Rat Banquet" is, surely, "a con summation devoutly to be wished." It is a victory so exceptional, so complete, so much to be desired, that we cannot help but feel that our pride in it is justifiable. So our past has been bright and happy, fraught with smiles, achieve ments, victories, success. But war has thrown a gloomy shadow over our future, and we know not whither we go. But whether we are ever again, as a class, united, or by this same warstorm scattered to the four winds of the heavens, we, the men of the Class of NineteenTwenty, will go our ways with hearts determined and made strong by these two years of fellowship in the grand old College.

Freshman Class History ONG will we remember that day, the 27th of September, in the year of our Lord 1917, when the Class of 1921 enrolled as "Rats" at Richmond College to begin its journey on the road to fame and fortune. It is true that we were green and awkward at the new duties assigned to us, but before many days elapsed we were readily taught the arts of "baying at the moon," of pouring water at the table, and of adhering strictly to Rat rules and regulations. The Sophomores, who have always played such an important part in the lives of firstyear men, received the newcomers with every degree of warmth and cordiality (?). Hostilities commenced at 12 o'clock on the night of the 27th. We were subjected to all sorts of torture. The venerable wielders of the paddle lost no time in proving their adaptability at rapid fire. Great was the pressure from behind! And speeches came in quick succession. Above all, groans and shrieks pierced the midnight air as some Daniel Webster would have his oratory forced from his parched lips. The crowning feature of the whole year, however, was the customary Rat banquet. Many a day will we fondly recall the charming scenes that graced this occasion. Our running the gauntlet and sleeping on the floor—yea—even so will these after effects be remembered! As a class, we have stood as one, cooperating in every way for the good of old R. C. No class has ever been more devoted to its Alma Mater. We have taken great interest in all college activities. In literary societies, in scholarship, and in athletics, we have proved our worth. Our eventful first year is now drawing swiftly to a close. What we have accom plished will now be recorded as history. Fast falls the curtain over the wonderful events of yesterday. No more will the touching scenes of Rat life mar our vision! Memory alone does linger. Let us look forward to the days ahead of us. How long each one of us will be able to remain in college, we know not. But let us keep in mind that we have a great task before us. May we realize that the name and honor of our College, so dear to us, rest largely upon our own shoulders. We must continue onward, ever willing to put our all toward upholding the high standards set before us. "Through what new scenes and changes must we pass." HISTORIAN.

Senior Law Class History IRECTLY or indirectly, this war has affected everything, and our Senior class was no exception. We entered our Junior year a seriousminded group of thirty to forty embryonic law yers. However, our country's call was appealing, and enlist ments in different branches of the service followed each other in close succession. Business called others, while death claimed one, until only a few of the original number remain. We entered our Junior year confessedly ignorant and willing to be taught, but yet the majority of us relied upon our common sense to carry us through. But our faith was rudely shaken when the mighty McNeill warmed up with: "Gentlemen: 'A' stands in Virginia, shoots 'B' in North Carolina, and 'B' goes to Tennessee and dies; where is the crime committed?" Hypothetical cases followed each other with bewildering rapidity. Our attempts at explanation were futile, and then the magnitude of our ignorance dawned upon us and our smallness appalled us. When Major Tucker opened fire with his big guns, our doubts increased, and after a few doses of crossexamination by Dr. Chichester and Dr. Moore, we were nearly ready to throw up the sponge. But, in spite of our fears, we survived, and what we lack in numbers we have in courage and sticktoitiveness. Life amongst carriers, contracts and torts has not always been easy, and has been accompanied by many a hard knock. However, it has never been disagreeable, and as we fare forth to entangle men in the meshes of the law we shall ever have a kindly memory of this school of legal enlightenment.

John has roamed about the Spider campus for quite a few years .indulging lightly in everything, tasting of every intellectual dish, but having great difficulty in de ciding whereof he would make a meal. He began as a towering rat in the Academic department—yes, he was a lofty steeple in the Freshman structure, only one Lacy slightly overtopped him.
But Long
John was not long content with the tasteless beverage of the Pierian spring; in his restless wanderings he chanced upon the Law School and—the flying Dutchman at last found a haven. He cast anchor and nevermore embarked. If perseverance means anything, John will get there; if an effervescing good humor and an inborn propensity for argument are a lawyer's virtues, he is destined to a front rank posi tion before the bar, with his foot on the rail—meta phorically speaking, of course.

He Kails from Urbanna, but that does not seem to worry him. A man may overcome the greatest of handicaps and live down the most blemishing of stigmas if only he applies himself with due assiduity to his daily tasks. And Dick deserves credit for the manner in which he has adapted himself to changing environment—in fact, all taint of "country" has been erased from his immaculate personage, and he now bears himself with a carelessness and cocksuredness as citified as that of the oldest resident of Church Hill. Indeed, only very slender ties bind him to the rural pastures—but ah! the knots are fast, and the delicate web holds the poor prisoner, even tho it trembles with the impulse of his futile exertions. Yes, somewhere in Urbanna's fair sunshine she blooms —let us cast no further the shadows of our intrud ing glances. Dick has that combination of push and smoothness which never fail to bring the legal bacon. 'Tis rumored that back in his childrood days, as he sat on a haystack lost in dreamy revery whilst he watched the family cow lazily masticating her cud, the bell of the great cathedral of Urbanna chimed re peatedly: "Arise, Dick Palmer, Mayor of Urbanna! We are bold enough to assert confidently that the prophecy will be fulfilled.

"Gimlet" is a mixture of seriousness and sentiment— that is, he is happygolucky and yet has plenty of backbone. If you like him it is all right; if you don't like him, it's all right, also. He lo es to dance, to skate, to weave dreams, and is particularly fond of music and the girls. His ventures in a'h letics and in the realms of the feminine heart have not seriously interfered with his studies, as is attested by the fact that he is successfully combatting the mysteries of the law. He works, but doesn't believe in overwork, and certainly he cannot be accused of going against his conscience in this particular, for let one merely mention a dance, and "Gimlet" is there at the first throb of the music, having left com pletely behind Jhim all thoughts of law save those relating lo matrimony. As hinted above, his chief delights are woman and song, and never is he so happy as when humming a melodious "nose tenor" solo of impassioned sentiments into the ear of some enraptured maiden, while the kindly old moon looks on with a knowing smile, and, with her mellow rays, lights his soul along the starbespangled milky way into the pearly gates of his fancy's paradise.

Resume of the 1917 Football Season HE first game the team played, strange to say, was a championship contest with William and Mary, which it won by a score of 28 to 0, on Cary Field, at Williamsburg. There was a reason for this unusual condition of affairs—namely, the late opening of college. Two days after the session was started, there was on the Spiders' gridiron schedule a game with the Virginia Polytechnic Institute at Blacksburg. Of course it had to be can celed, due to lack of practice. Seven varsity men of the previous season constituted the nucleus of seasoned material that Acting Coach Pitt had around which to build the eleven. These men were: Captain Whittet and Milbourne, ends; Pitt, Kuyk, Miller and Sanford, backs; and Dorsey, guard. With the backfield practically intact, the problem, of course, was to build a line. This Acting Coach Pitt set about to do, with barely two weeks before the first championship game on October 1 3. Robinson, Thomas and Rucker, varsity substitutes of the previous season, showed excellent form and won places for themselves in the line, Robinson and Thomas at guard and Rucker at center. The vacant place at tackle was filled by Taylor, a Freshman, who had played football at John Marshall High School, and who acquitted himself well. Thus, in a very short time, indeed, Coach Pitt had just about welded together the team that was to play throughout the season. On the eve of the championship game with William and Mary, Coach Frank Mills Dobson returned to coach the team. He had been engaged as Y. M. C. A. director of athletics at Camp Oglethorpe, Georgia, but was granted a furlough extending over the course of the football season to resume his duties with the gridiron warriors. His home coming put life into the players, and the game was won without the Red and Blue goal line ever being menaced by the Indians. Sanford, who had played the year before at fullback, was soon moved to the line by Coach Dobson, and there showed to better advantage than in his former position. The line was now playing as it did during the rest of the season, with Whittet and Milbourne, ends; Dorsey and Sanford, tackles; Thomas, guards; and Rucker, center. The backfield was well cared for by Pitt at quarter, Miller and Kuyk at half, and Spencer at full. From the beginning of the season HampdenSidney was regarded, and rightly so, as the Spiders' most dangerous opponent. This was proved when the Tigers won the first SpiderTiger clash at Boulevard Field, Richmond, by a score of 120. The

Presbyterians displayed midseason form, and by their clever teamwork and the superior work of their line overwhelmed the home team and kept them on the defensive most of the time. It was with the winning of this game that the HampdenSidney team forged to the front in the championship series and kept that place securely within their grasp the remainder of the season. The first game with RandolphMacon resulted in a 270 victory for the Spiders, the team of the Yellow Jackets being very light and devoid of real knowledge of football. The score should have been larger than it was. The following week the team went to Lexington and played the eleven of Washington and Lee University. The Generals by their smashing attack prevented the Spiders from scoring. The game ended in a count of 430. It was in this game that Rucker, center, had his nose broken and was forced to be out of the game for the remainder of the season. Rucker's place was taken by Kidd, and the teamwork of the eleven was not materially affected. Next came the most nerveracking contest of the whole season, the game with HampdenSidney on Venable Field. The Tigers had won three and lost none, while the Spiders had won two and lost one. If the Tigers won, the race for the championship of the Eastern Association would be practically over, for the reason that the Tigers would then have four victories and no defeats, and the Spiders, who were in second place, would have two wins and two losses. The story of that contest almost reaches epic heights. For the whole of the first half the Tigers were kept on defense. Whittet and Milbourne played beautifully, and the Red and Blue backfield tore through the Spider line and around their ends time after time. Crossing the Tigers' goal line was almost a question of inches several times, but when this was the case the Tigers always held, and the sweet morsel of a score was kept from the Spiders. The generalship of Pitt could not have been better, and the playing of the other backs, Dickerson, Miller and Kuyk, was as fine as anything they ever did. Forward passes were tried several times, but the goal line could never be crossed, no matter what herculean efforts were taken, it seemed. The game ended in a scoreless tie, and after that the championship was Hampden Sidney's by virtue of proved superiority in previous contests. Both of the remaining games on the Spiders' schedule, one with William and Mary and the seasoncloser with RandolphMacon, ended in victories. In the William and Mary contest the final outcome was 190 in our favor; in the RandolphMacon game, 800. The winning of these two games did not affect the championship in the least, because HampdenSidney had, in the meantime, won the other game on her schedule and closed the year with five victories and one game tied. Simpson played at quarter in the last two games, Pitt being rendered hors de combat by a broken shoulder. The injury came between the HampdenSidney game and the William and Mary game. The warmest words of praise can be spoken for Simpson.

SPIDER,
?
Succeeding the best field general in the whole league, he ran the team unusually well and got the most out of his men, not sparing himself, either, in running with the ball. The way the men played behind him, too, speaks well for the whole eleven. The season came to an end with a record of four games won, one tied and one lost. In the seven games on the schedule, the Spiders made 154 points and their opponents 55. Small consolation as it was, they had the satisfaction of knowing that the games lost had been by small margins; those won, by large ones. Second place was no honor, to be sure, but to be second to such a team as the Tigers had is certainly no disgrace. To be exact, the season was over after the first game with RandolphMacon on the 24th of November. But, following his custom, Coach Dobson soon had the football team to a banquet at Murphy's Hotel in Richmond, and there awarded their R's to the lourteen players and the manager. Sitting around a heavily laden table, those present little thought that they had formed the last team that Frank Dobson would perhaps ever coach at Richmond College. Such proved to be the case when shortly after this event he cancelled his contract with the College and went to Camp Jackson, Columbia, S. C., to assume the direction of athletics for the Y. M. C. A. He could not remain to even give the basketball team preliminary training. In the years to come, the men who played on the varsity football team of 1917 will remember it not as the team that took second place in the Eastern Association cham pionship, nor as the team that made 154 points to 55 by their opponents, but as the last Richmond College team that Dobson ever coached.

THE 1918
P5; SPIDER m
The Spiders' 1918 Basketball Season HERE has probably never been a team at Richmond College that started the season with such handicaps and made such a splendid showing as the 1918 basketball quint. Imagine the outlook when there was only one varsity player of the championship five of the previous year back at college; when Coach Dobson had left to go in Army Y. M. C. A. work, and when no trip away from home was allowed preliminary to the championship season in the Eastern Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Association. That Captain Dickerson did not despair at first is a marvel. After coaching the men as best he could, it seemed the kindness of the gods that brought Dave Satterfield back to Richmond on special naval detail work, but with sufficient time to train the basketball players. When the first game of the season with the University of Virginia at Charlottesville was played, the men composing the quint were Dickerson, Robinson, Simpson, Caravati and Mottley, with Tribble, a utility man, played either forward or guard, as need developed. Although the game ended in a score of 64 to 34 in favor of the University quint, the Spiders were not disheartened by the game they had played. HampdenSidney, champions of the league, was too much for the Spiders in both encounters. The championship season opened up with them in the Spiders' gymnasium fighting for every point like bulldogs and winning the game finally by a bare margin of five points. The next game, with William and Mary, was won by the score of 34 to 25 by the Indians, playing on their own floor. Here were five straight defeats in a row, including two games played with the Richmond Y. M. C. A. team before the championship series opened. About this time Knight relieved Simpson as guard, and the combination worked better because of Knight's height. The next game resulted in a victory for the Spiders. In this game the team struck its stride and continued to improve throughout the season, losing only one out of three championship games after this. The forwards, Captain Dickerson and Caravati, performed consistently, and Rob inson, with his running guard style of play, was a factor in the decisive work of the quint. How deadly was the goal shooting of Captain Dickerson may be realized when it is found that he ranked second in total points of all the players of the league, with 60 tallies. Robinson was head and shoulders above all the other guards in the association in the matter of scoring, making an aggregate of 39 points from 1 6 field goals and 7 goals from fouls. Knight played well in the games in which he took part, winning his letter both as a member of the team and as manager of it. Special mention must be made of Caravati and Mottley, one a Sophomore, the other a Freshman. When Caravati first appeared on the court he was practically unknown. Within the space of two or three days it was recognized that here was a man who would make a strong bid for the team. Mottley at center covered himself with glory in the last game of the season, with William and Mary, at the Howitzers' Armory in Richmond, at which time he made 1 I field goals and thus established the season's record for field goals in one game.

THE 1918 3p5!SPIDER. ^ Resume of the 1917 Baseball Season Champions of the Eastern Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Association, by virtue of five straight
victories in the titular series—that tells the major part of the story of the 1917 baseball season at Rich mond College. It does not take into consideration, however, the preliminary games played before the championship series started in which the Spiders developed the club that later won them the laurels of the Association. The Richmond International League team practiced at college, and many were the games that were played between the charges of Billy Smith, the Internationals' manager, and Frank Dobson. Two of these games were staged in Richmond, and drew large crowds; the others were played on Stadium Field, and were very productive of good in the later team work and baseball knowledge of the Spider nine. Five games other than those with the Internationals were played before the championship contests began. Three of these were with teams in North Carolina, two with Elon College, and one with North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical. The game scheduled with Wake Forest was not played, on account of rain. After playing the Union Theolog ical Seminary team and the team of Lafayette Col lege, and defeating both, the Spiders were ready for their try at the silver cup awarded to the champions of the league. The championship season opened with William and Mary at Westhampton, and the score was 1 1 to 0 in favor of the Red and Blue players. Jolliff pitched a beautiful game, and was given good support by his teammates. Moreover, the team hit well, almost to a man. Crossley's game, especially, is worthy of particular note. He hit a pace that made him the best and most finished first baseman that has probably ever played for Richmond College The chronicle of the season is just a string of victories: RandolphMacon defeated, 17 to I, at Ash land; HampdenSidney, 12 to 8, at HampdenSid ney; William and Mary, 3 to 2, at Williamsburg, and HampdenSidney, 4 to 3, at Westhampton. These last two games were beautiful exhibition i of college baseball, and it was in them that the polish of the Red and Blue team was so apparent and the hitting so deadly. Between the last William and Mary and HampdenSidney games one of the mo3t decisive defeats of the season was administered to the Virginia Military Institute nine, by the score of 24 to 0. Five men on the team hit above .300. They were: Crossley, Pitt, Northern, Liggan and Miller. Carter was very close, with a percentage of .292. Besides their dangerous stick work, all of these men fielded with great accuracy, particularly Crossley. Playing first base, he made a fielding average of .922, in five championship games.
Pitt's work at third was also of a high order of excellence.
It may be that many years will pass before Richmond College will have such an outfit again as the 1917 baseball club.

Prospects for the 1918 Season IX letter men of the championship team of 1917 will be the nucleus around which the new team will be built. The men are: Knight, pitcher; Kuyk, catcher; Pitt, third base; Northern, second base; and Ryland and Captain Miller, outfielders. Mac Pitt is coaching the team. At the time of writing—April 1—three games have been played, one with Holy Cross, one with Mount Saint Joseph's, and one with Camp Stuart at Newport News. The team lost to Holy Cross, won from Mount Saint Joseph's, and lost to Camp Stuart. Knight is showing fine form, and Skaggs, a Freshman, gives promise of developing into a valuable hurler. The team that has gone into action in these three preliminary games has been composed of: Knight and Skaggs, pitchers; Kuyk, catcher; Brown, Northern, Westerman and Pitt, infielders, and Ryland, Captain Miller and Oliver and Thompson, outfielders. The schedule is a fine one, for which Manager Lacy deserves credit. It follows: DATE

SCORE BY COLLEGES, V. 1. A. A. MEET
/
The only meet in which the Spider track men participated in 1917 was the Virginia Intercolle giate Athletic Association, held at Blacksburg, on Miles Field. Virginia Polytechnic Institute won first place, with a total of 60/ points, Richmond College coming second, with a total of 38 tallies. Liggan was the bright star of the meet for the Spiders. He made fifteen
points by winning first
place in the 100yard dash, 220yard dash, and the 440yard run. In the high hurdles, Whitlock per formed beautifully, and won the event in the good time of 18 25 seconds. Considering the fact that nine letter men of the previous season were lo3t to the team, the showing was very creditable. In the first
Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Association meet, held in 1916 on
Stadium Field, the Spiders also took second place. Thus, two years in succession the team bowed in defeat before the squad of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, but each time won second place easily over the other four opponents. Field Day, long an athletic event at Richmond College about the middle of the track season, was abolished the previous year, and was not revived last year. There is, however, a strong tide of reac tion setting in in favor of it, and it will probably be held in the spring of 1918.

MAJOR JOHN RANDOLPH TUCKER

The Richmond College Battalion AR is the great transformer, and it is played true to form at Richmond College. The advent of 191718 found a khakiuniformed student body on the campus green, where only the steady feet of pacific Jaspers had trodden before. The introduction of the military department was not simply a matter of routine formalities, but at all times accompanied by friction and problems that reflect great credit upon the men who finally succeeded in organizing a smooth and successful corps.
I 00 /
The first pleasing innovation was the formation of the Battalion Band, plans for which were matured in November. The second differentiation in the battalion was the Signal Corps, a class which proved of exceptional value to a number of men preparing to enter the war service of the country. The military work of this year may be said to have added a certain amount of spice to the conventional course of college life. An occasional hike up the country roads found some grumblers, but many who greeted it with joy. Doubletiming up and down the Threechopt road could only be called fun by a tragic stretch of our proverbial sense of humor, and yet there was some satisfaction and even pleasure in sticking it out. And who would erase from his memory the recollections of those bloody combats that scattered the imaginary dead from Stop 31 to the Country Club? Can the capture of Spicer by a "dead" squad be forgotten so long as Spiders crawl out of their beds to answer the breakfast call? In closing this chapter let us not omit mention of the solemn courtmartials that struck fear into the hearts of the innocent multitude, and tortured the sleep of the guilty offenders with nightmares of blindfolded men facing firing squads.

SPIDER,
Six Reasons for Attending
RICHMOND COLLEGE 1. IT IS A STANDARD COLLEGE. If you have made adequate preparation for college work, you want to be sure that you are in classes with students who are also properly prepared. Standard entrance requirements, adequately enforced, insure well graded Freshman classes. Moreover, the degree from a recognized standard college is accepted at its face value everywhere. 2. IT IS A CHRISTIAN COLLEGE. Christian people founded it and cherish it. Christian scholars fill its chairs of instruction. Emphasis is placed upon Christian living in college, and the preparation for a large Christian service. A high percentage of the students are active in some form of religious work during their college course. The Bible is taught with college credit, and also in devotional classes. 3. IT IS WELL LOCATED. Richmond is a beautiful city of homes and of his toric memorials. There is much on every hand to quicken and inspire. The college park of 290 acres, located two miles west of the corporate limits, offers the student free dom from the noise and smoke and glare of city streets. At the same time the street cars that enter the grounds afford easy communication, and enable students to partici pate freely in the life of the city. 4. THE EQUIPMENT IS MODERN. Many schools are housed in antiquated build ings and lack modern conveniences. The Richmond College buildings are thoroughly modern. It should be particularly noted that they are fireproof. The dormitory rooms are literally concrete boxes framed in steel. Recall the number of schools that suffer from fire every year, and reflect what a comfort it is to parents, as well as to students, to know that the steel and stone and concrete in the Richmond College dormitories are their protection against fire. Such construction is costly, but it insures safety and peace of mind. The heating, lighting, baths and sanitary arrangements are fully up to the high standards one would expect in such buildings. 5. NUMEROUS AND HIGHCLASS STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS. You want to be in a college where the students are doing things. At Richmond College the students publish an annual, a monthly literary magazine, a weekly newspaper, enter all the major sports, send out good teams, maintain flourishing literary societies, a live Y. M. C. A., a missionary society, a glee and mandolin club, and eight fraternity chapters. The vigorous religious, social, literary and athletic activities of the students afford every man opportunity to test his powers and show what he can do. 6. A HOST OF DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI. When a student graduates from Richmond College he enters a great company of men, numbering five thousand, most of whom have won distinction and all of whom are ready to befriend and encourage him. The ties of a common alma mater bind him to great missionaries, preachers, teachers, editors, lawyers, physicians, bankers, successful men of business, congressmen, leaders in all the higher walks of life. The new graduate finds comrades in every great city, and is grateful to his college for friends, both old and new. For catalog and book of views address

MEDICAL COLLEGE OF VIRGINIA (State Institution) STUART MCGUIRE, M.D., LL.D., DEAN
Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy In the present National crisis a continuous supply of adequately trained medical officers is abso lutely essential for the maintenance of armed forces in the field. It is, therefore, the patriotic duty of all college students intending to study medicine to remain under instruction until the country can avail itself of their trained services. All medical students should, therefore, in the interest of National safety continue their work until graduation.
