LOUIS ALVIN GRAVELLE, Jr. EDWARD HARRISON HANCOCK Entered 1942 Entered 1943 Four years ago Al appeared as a meek and lowly rat and since then he has accomplished a great deal. Born with a genuine desire to play football, this year he earned a Varsity letter at guard. despite the fact that he was one of the team's three lightest players. A very competent lirst sacker in baseball. Al played a gooil deal last year and chances are this year hell make first string, Although not one of the so-called brains of the class mom. Al has managed to keep up a good scholastic standard. Now he is climaxing his high school career by receiving his sheepskin. He cer- tainly deserves it. Al is also a very good monitor and has a per- sonality that most boys should be jealous of. We know that Al will make a fine Kaydet at West Point and we want to wish him all the luck in the world. Tomorrow Pete will be one of those lucky ones to step forward and receive a school diploma. He will have well earned it. He has maintained out- standing grades since he Grst came here. But you will find that Pete has not been con- tent to just work for grades. but has given some of his time to serving the school. This he has done admirably well. Last year he was manager of the Jayvee football team and this year he has kept the A. A. shop. Pete has also worked at track and played quite a bit of tennis, He has not heen gifted with exceptional talent for sports. but that has not kept him from participating in these and working hard at them. This year Pete was chosen a monitor and did this work well. He has been active on Whispers. The school wishes Pete a lot of good luck. U91

WILLIAM BECKHAM FOOTE JOHN RUSSELL GILL, 'Jr. Entered 1944 Bill. in the two years he has spent at the E. H. S.. has made a fine record both scholastically and in athletics. Graduating in two years in itself is no easy task and not only has he accomplished this with high grades. but he has also made a name for himself on the basketball and tennis teams. Quick and alert, Bill has proved himself invaluable in both and has won the coveted E in each. As if this were not enough Bill has also done a great job in the sports department of Wh1'spers and the Chronicle, showing such ability as the sports editor of the latter that he was chosen its editor-in-chief for the second half and his accom- plishmcnts in this capacity deserve many praises. Episcopal will indeed suffer a great loss when Bill Foote leaves for Yale next year, but we join in wishing him the very best of luck. Entered 1943 We are about to lose John Gill, the boy with the cheery smile. Since he came here three years ago Johnnie has always been one of the school's best students. He is usually on the high list and this year he is walking off with the Shakespeare prize. He will graduate cum laude. John has worked in athletics. playing J. V. foot- ball and also spending some time op track. John has, in three years, made a lot of friends at school. His sense of humor is not lacking. He has decided to matriculate at college where he will surely be a credit to the school as he has been here. He will be remembered as an all-'round good sport. Keep up the good work. John. U81

WILLIAM PENDLETON THOMPSON HILL, Jr. Entered 1942 Pete Hill has been one of the best known and best liked boys on the E. I-I. S. campus this year. His love of fun and friendliness have attracted all he has come in contact with. Very little has hap- pened this year which Pete has not been in on. On the football field this year Pete, one of the returning letter-men, was alternate captain of the team. During the winter term he was outstanding in Centennial basketball and as the Annual goes to press it is expected that Pete will be one of the main stays of the baseball team. both in the right field position and at bat. In classes Pete has always been a good student and he will graduate cum laude. an honor which few receive. In addition to these honors. Hill has been an active member of the Chronicle Board, the Whispers Board. and the Hop Committee as well as the E club. Pete expects to make Georgetown his college alma mater, and we wish him very good luck there. CHARLES TALBOTT HITESHEW, Jr. Entered 1942 For four years now Toby has kept up an amaz- ing average in his school work. Often he has led the entire school: it is indeed a rare event or acci- dent when his name is not read on the high list. Tobe is generally regarded as the King of the Brains This year he is taking 6 subjects and graduating cum laude. From this one would naturally think he would be too busy to enter into any of the school's activi- ties, Not so. for not only has Hiteshew played Jay- vee football for two years. but he has also been a monitor for that length of time. The junior teams have benefited from his participation greatly. A wide circle of his friends will certify that a better natured boy will not be found anywhere. In the literary line. Tobe has been an active member of the Blackford society where he has done well. Hiteshew leaves us this year for an unknown destination, probably a northern college. The very best of luck to you, Toby. l20l
