Other Memories WELLINGTON A. SAMOUCE "Sammie" -- "Scabootch" -- "Sam" Sixth Congressional District LYNCHBURG "irffiriia REPARE to die!" Thus cries the Russian as he attacks some terror- stricken occupant of a nearby room for the purpose of regaining his "borrowed" soap. What he intends to do with the soap is very doubtful. "Scabootch" is an interesting character withal. Although born in Poltava, Russia, he lived in both France and Canada before finally choosing the land of the free as his country. His brother, who was here before him, must certainly have bluffed the academic board into respecting the family name, for this band of robber barons caused Wellington Alexander no whit of worry. As a social lion, nothing can stop this boy. Even when a faltering femme finally says "no" he doesn't believe her. He has dragged from everywhere between Highland Falls and Russia, inclusive. In none of this is he serious, however, being an ardent advocate of ye olde doctrine, "Have a good time, and take lots of pictures." He is honing the field.
