DANIEL PEYTON SULLIVAN Entered 1944 Dan has been at E. H. S. for only two years. but in that time he has completed a well-rounded and successful school career. Too light for the varsity. he naturally turned to the Junior Varsity. As a back on the first team, his skill at handling the ball and ability to bull his way through the line accounted, in part. for the successful season that team had. He also proved to be quite good at Jayvee basketball. As a student, Dan is far above the average, and his grades invariably place him near the top of the high list. He is good on Chronicle. He is the glee club. It do not extend in the sports department of the also a member of the choir and is quite evident that his talents one field only. the University of Michigan next he will continue his good work Dan leaves for year. We know there. l l JAMES COLE TAYLOR Entered 1943 After arriving on the hill J, C. immediately became noted for his unusually good grades. For three years he has kept them up. often being the person with the highest grades in school. This year he is culminating his labours with a diploma. This year he was made a monitor, a position which he has filled well. His literary abilities are legion. This year he was on both the Chronicle staff and the Whispers Board. In Fairfax society he won second place in their reading contest. In athletics. Jaycee is as hard a working track man as is on the hill. Princeton is indeed getting a prize in him. Their gain is our loss. l27l

WILSON ELLIOTT DRIVER SHEPHERD Entered 1942 Shepherd has done well at E. H. S. His real name is Wilson. but on the holy hill he is affec- tionately known as De-De, a name he picked up in China where he was born. In athletics, De-De excels in football. During the '45 season he played a great game at center for the Jayvees. When a Varsity center was injured before the R.M.A. game he went up and stuck. In the winter Shepherd was high scorer for his Centennial league basketball team. In the spring he will probably be high up on the tennis ladder. De-De is also one of the few who have the honor of having been a monitor for two years. Next year De-De will go to Virginia. We wish him the best of luck while there and in the more distant future. WILLIAM SHANNON STONEY, JR. Entered 1944 Being one of the most popular boys on the hill, Bill will long be remembered as a fine boy. He earned the varsity E this year. playing a very good brand of football at guard. He received. as a reward, honorable mention on the All-State team. We also expect to see Bill carry points in the weights for the track team in the spring. Prune always maintains a high scholastic average. His name is often on the high list. So many extra activities are carried by him that it is impossible to enumerate them all. He was Vice-President of the B.L.S., Secretary of the Mis- sionary Society first term, Head Waiter, etc., etc. He is also head photographer of Whispers. Tulane is really getting a swell fellow. Here's wishing him luck and happiness. i251

l BENJAMIN FRANCIS WEEIVIS, JR. Enlered 1943 Three years ago Ben set foot upon the holy hill and since that time he has made a wide circle of friends. In school work. Bunny has been above the average and frequently his name is read out on the high list. He is a hard worker in his studies and deserves the honor of graduation. In sports, Ben has been no wonderful athlete. but he has played on the minor teams. He is naturally quick and able to handle himself well. Both of these endowments have assisted him greatly on the field. Ben plans to go to Annapolis when he finishes and we know that he will do well there. We wish him the best ol' luck, and a happy college life. JOHN HARRISON WELCH Entered 1943 When John arrived on the holy hill three years ago there was little doubt that he would make a fine record. The diploma which he has won is the result of hard work and no one deserves it more than he. Not only in the class room, but also on Hoxton Held has John shown his untiring spirit. This. combined with natural ability. made him the star center of the football team. This year he won his E in that sport. llis skill on the baseball held has made him a likely candidate for the team this season. Possessing an unusually good voice. John's flair for music has caused him to be a natural for all things musical around school. As President of the Missionary society and Treas- urer of B. L. S.. his leadership is apparent. Since he leaves us this year for Virginia. we con- gratulate him on his fine record at the high school and wish him luck lor years to come. 1281
