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. Dick leaves this year to begin his college career at Virginia. and we know he will make a line record both there and in later life. U61

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

His good nature and friendliness to all is the high light of his character. Bill Daniel will leave a great name for himself here. and we are sure that at Williams and in whatever field of endeavor he shall choose he will make a good name for himself as well as for this school. CLARE HILL DRAPER. III Entered 1942 Clare is one of the best known and best liked boys at this school: what we might term a big shot, He also has the asset of being very popular. He has shone brightly in athletics. playing Var- sity football and Varsity basketball. Tennis, how- ever. is his long suit: for two years he has been a letter man in that sport and this year he serves as alternate captain of the team. His advantages are not all physical. however. as a wide range of outside activities are covered by him. He is a monitor and a member of the B.I..S.. and a member of the E club, As one of Egypt's most favored sons he has become very popular. Though he never seems to study overly much. Clare is able to maintain a scholastic average of which he may justly be proud. VVe are sorry to see him leaving and wish him good luck wherever he goes to college. l'7l
