WILLIAM LINDSAY PAGE Entered 1942 Hailing from sunny Florida where he claims it never rains, Bill first came to this place four years ago. His friendly disposition rapidly made many friends for him. Bill himself would be the last to claim that he is smart enough to be considered brainy but the mere fact that he is graduating this year means a good deal. He is not a book worm: yet his grades are never low. This year Bill made a monitor. In this elite position he served the school well. In athletics Bill is not a whiz. but he has tried out for the smaller teams with some degree of success. Rollins, in his native state. will claim him next year and we wish him the best nf luck there. ROBERT GIBBON PENDER Entered 1943 If Gibbon Pender arrived home in some future year and found it had been destroyed by fire. his life savings were gone, and his wife had run away with the butler. he would probably Gnd some- thing to laugh about. Yes, this boy's sense of humor has won him great popularity at the E. H. S. Gib doesn't strike anyone as being the type to study. yet he always makes good grades and this year is passing very difhcult subjects. Such an easy-going person wouldn't be expected to run on a track team. But Gib runs the mile. and is quite good at it. thank you. We predict great things for this boy in future life. He has a capacity for getting along with people. Best of luck to you at Carolina U. next year, Gib. o l23l

GEORGE RHODES QUAILE Entered 1942 Ever since he first appeared on the hill four years ago George has been steadily adding to his list of accomplishments. And this year to top off his brilliant record he was chosen Senior Monitor and put in the envied post of football captain. He has shown his talents not only on the athletic Held but in the class room as well. The lone member of Mr. Shackelford's seventh math class. his work has been far above the average, and although his marks are not all ninety-nines, his name frequently appears on the high list. Birdie has many responsible positions in the school, not only as Senior Monitor, but as Pres- ident of the E club. and on the Hop Committee, and as director of Stewart AC. It will be hard to fill his place when he leaves for Princeton next year. and we feel sure he will continue the fine record he has made at Episcopal. CHARLES LEE REESE, Ill Eentered 1943 Charlie has become in three years an integral part of our school life. His good nature and all- around friendliness have made him liked by all. He has been far above the average in sports, playing on the Varsity football squad and the varsity basketball squad. Though he did not win a letter he played hard and well and was admired by all for it. In studies Charles is not a dim-wit and he has steadily maintained .1 good average. This year he was chosen a monitor, a position which he fulfilled with credit to himself and the school. In the diflicult role of office boy he won many friends simply by being courteous. Good luck at college next year, Charlie. 1241 l
