What visions doth this magic name conjure up in one's mind-apple blos- soms, race horses, and George and Ed Lee. It is with the former of these two brothers that this article deals. E George has grown to be almost an institution himself at St. Christopher's-congenial in spir- its, a plugger in all that he undertakes, and an all-round athlete. He is a four-letterman, the only one at school this year. Gaze upon the above record and allay any doubts that you may have concerning his athletic ability. The straw vote conducted by the Pine Needle provide the esteem in which George is held by his fellow-students. ' We know that George will give a good ac- count of himself in college and in life, for he possesses those attributes essential to success, and a host of friends. George, we'll miss you when you leave. Still we expect to have Ed with us.for some time, and that will help to compensate your loss to the student body. May success, honor, and fame attend you wherever you may go. l21l

CB Some five years ago there appeared on the cam- pus of St. Christopher's a bashful boy who gave his name as George Howell. Although Howell has never been a great athlete, he is always hard at work on one of the squads. This same spirit of perseverance has manifested itself in his work. At every commencement Howell's name is read among the 'leaders of his class. George was appointed Editor-in-Chief of The Pine Needle for the past year. Never has that publication enjoyed any better success than dur- ing his editorship. In spite of the many as- signments that he had to give out, and in spite of the force and means which he was often compelled to use in getting these assignments in, Howell has remained a friend of us all. He is also a shining star on the boards. His per- formance as Mrs. Baxter in this year's play, Seventeen, was of the highest order. Perhaps George's most prominent characteris- tic in his thoroughness. When he sets out to do something, he does it. Also, among with his many other acquirements, he has gotten the art of bulling down to a science. However, this only adds to his popularityg for everyone is glad to know one who can get out of a de- tention in Latin by saying he didn't have time, or that he didn't get over the last few lines. It was with great joy to us all that we heard that bull-slinger will be back again next year for a post-graduate course. We are sure that he will be a great help to the school, and we wish him the best of luclc on entering Princeton the following fall. .,-....,...... ...... .. .. --..... . ,,,,, ,,,, , 201

C3 Two years ago there came to our institution of learning a very distinguished gentleman from Boston. A descendant of a long line of famous ancestors, St. George Tucker Lee Cbet- ter known as Saint , is related to every re- nowned person between Norfolk and Boston. Many a person has been proud to say, I know him. Alas! Our Saint is about to leave us for the University of Virginia. ln the two years that Saint has spent at old St. C. S. he has done much to endear himself to his fellow-students. Never failing in gen- erosity and faithfulness, he has proved himself a true son of the South. In the classroom Saint is the very essence of studiousness, and has seldom, if ever, received a detention. Saint was not born an athlete, but he has been very valuable in managing the Basketball and Track teams. Ladies and gentlemen, we must not forget that Saint was one of our leading players on the stage. For two years he has played the daddy roles, and played them so well that there is no doubt that someday he will be an able dad to someone's children. Our space is used up, and we must stop, although we have touched only a few of the admirable traits of our Saint. Wherever you may be, Saint, remember that your old buddies are pulling for you! l22l
