MM C3 Here we see the distinguished features of Nathaniel Coleman Brydon, in per- son. About iour years ago Nat ap- peared at the entrance of ole St. C. Sf, and desired to be admitted into the fold. Few realized what a treasure we Were getting when Nat was enrolled among V the students of this school. The four years that have elapsed since that day , have produced a very remarkable change in the Ginter Park representative. A small, unassuming, bashful boy entered, and now a husky, jolly, esteemed senior is leaving. Nat has the lucky faculty of making friends with every one with Whom he comes in contact-but he has carried this faculty entirely too far. There will be many broken hearts when he fails to return here next fall. Nat,' is always in a good humor and ready to laugh at the slightest thing that strikes him as funny.

During his stay at St. Christopheids Roswell has participated in all branches of school activities and has been a leader in everything in which he has taken part. But especially may We single out his athletic prowess. Roswell for the past two years has won his letter in football and has proved to be a mainstay of the team. He has been a member of the track team and during the past basketball season he held down the position of manager in a' creditable manner. V Athletics, however, ha.s not been the only activity in which is 'fl' the excels. He has held important positions on the Pine ' , , Needle, Annual Staffs, and is this year Secretary of the A' 'if , , ij, School Monogram Club.
