GAYLORD LEE CLARK, Jr. GEORGE WASHINGTON CONNORS. III Entered 1941 Gaylord is one of the best known and best liked boys at this school. In his job of office boy he has proved that he has real good nature and his many friends will affirm that his sense of humor is not lacking. The only fifth year boy in school, Gay has aided the school for a good many years. For two years he has done an admirable job as a monitor. Al- though he is too light to make the Varsity teams. Gaylord has tried hard on the sub-Varsity ones. This year he will help out the track team. Clark is at home anywhere around the campus. In Egypt, or in the library he is equally welcomed. His friends are legion. Gaylord will not be in our midst next Septem- ber. He plans to enter college, where we wish him the very best of luck. Keep up the good work. Gay! in 5 Entered 1942 George Connors has been one of the most out- standing boys at Episcopal this year. A Christmas monitor last year, George was made an S. M. this year. He has done well in this important oflice, winning the friendship as well as admiration of the school. In athletics George is an outstanding performer. During the first term he played a good game at half back for the .I.V.'s. Track. however, is George's strong point. In the low hurdles he is almost undefeatable. It is always a beautiful sight to see his short, but well built body tear over the hurdles at an amazing speed. He is also an im- portant member of the mile relay team. This spring Coach A. R. Hoxton, Jr.. will expect a lot of Connors who is not only a star, but also captain of the team. In lessons George is a steady worker. While he is not a high list man, his grades are good. In his four years at E. H. S. Connors has cer- tainly made a name for himself. We know that he will do as well at Virginia where he moves next September. Episcopal's loss is the University's gain. 1

ROBERT TULLIUS TUPPER BARRETT, Jr. JOHN STUART CASSILLY Entered 1942 Tupper is one of these suave Frenchmen. He has lived in France a good deal of his life. He arrived on the holy hill in 1942 and has made a friend of everyone since then. Tup's athletic ability is mainly in track. and he is another of our boys who worked hard for their positions. He runs the mile and does it very well. Unfortunately we are not able to tell what he will do this season. Although not a brain , Tupper has managed to keep up his good work, so that he is graduating this year-and we certainly will miss him. Tup plans to go back to France as soon as he is able to enter La Sorbonne in Paris. We wish him luck, success, and happiness in years to come. I I4 Entered 1942 One of the most popular boys in school, Stue is never seen without a friendly smile on his face. That he is an excellent football player is attested by the E he won this year as one of our most ac- complished ends. His ability in baseball makes him a favored aspirant for the team this year. As a constant plugger in the class room, Stue's efforts of the past four years have been rewarded this year by a well-earned diploma. As if athletics and studies were not enough. he has also found time to devote to extra-curricular activities. As a monitor, a member of the E Club and as one of Egypt's favored sons, he has gained the admiration of those who have known him. Stue leaves for Virginia next year and his friendly presence and sportsmanship will be missed upon the hill. l

HENRY FAIRFAX CONQUKST RICHARD HILLEN CROMWELI., Jr. Entered 1943 Entered 1943 Fair a'rived on the Holy Hill with an inquisi- tive brightness and has stayed with us for three years. A'tbough he was too light for the football team. he has worked harder in track than can be imagined. This year he is being rewarded for his hard work by being the Nlaroons' best miler. lVhispe1's goes to press before the season, but we predict a fine record for him. But Fair's efforts and abilities are not by any means confined to the track. for he has shown us that he is capable of just about any undertaking. He graduates this year with the honor of cum laude. one of the few to do so. He concludes two years of valuable service on the Chronicle Board as its Business Manager. He has also been rewarded by having been made a monitor. Being in charge of the book closet. he has done wonders with a hard job. We are sorry that Fair is leaving us this year and we know he is going to do well in any pro- fession he enters. Fair plans to go to Princeton this fall and we want to wish him the best of luck. For three years handsome. blonde Dick Cromwell lias been a member of the E. H. S. student body. One of the most popular boys in school. Diclfs high school career is being topped this year with a diploma. A constant worker in the class room. he deserves his position in the graduating class of 1946. In the line of athletics. Dick has played on this year's undefeated Jayvee football team. In this sport he showed much spirit, not to mention ability. A hearty supporter of all phases of school life. Dick has entered whole-heartedly into many extra activities. such as the choir. the glee club, and the Blackford society, to mention a few. Dick's sense of humor and ability to be a good guy have carried him far, in Egypt and around school in general.
