Gordon Harrison has since played an important and constructive part in almost all of the school activities, and it is with diliculty that we can bear the thought of parting from him at the ends of this year. But such things must be, and we derive some consolation from the knowledge that our loss will be some college's gain. P During the live years! that Gordon has spent at St. Chri.stopher's he has taken a deep interest in athletics. He has been on the Varsity Foot- ball Squad for the last four years, and has proved him- f ff f QV 'Q ' self to be a fast and eiiicient end. But this is not the f'7,,,,F only sport in which Gordon has displayed his athletic j '..-f1f l',. , ability. He was on the Varsity Squad in '27 and '28, and 'al he has shone in other phases of school life as well. He is a member of that august body, the Student Council, -553 a director of the Missionary Society, and a member of the Dramatic Club and the Monograin Club. There are i a many more of Gordon's achievements which I could re- late, but time and space grow short, and l must conclude. y,iv . A235351-Pv,-. Gordon, it is hard to say good-bye to you, but for some of us, at any rate, it will not be a final parting. May you ever have as much success as has been. rightly yours at St. Christopher's. l 24 l

C5 I The lamentably brief title above stands ,l for an unusually long and distinguished record at this school. As a wee tot Dixie waddled into harness in the Lower School in the year 1918. And ther lad waxed strong in body and spirit. At -an early date Dick showed great promise of athletic prowess. He was high-point man in his class at every field, day until his feet grew appallingly large and ponderous. There is and has been no branch of athletics in the school in which Dixie has not taken part and done well. He reached his prime last year in basketball when he made his Varsity letter by a season's hard work and fight, and this year, as captain, led the St. C. quint in an 2 F if ,jg Y' illustrious fashion. Enough of his athletic recordl' fy 4 -i- - .' .B H, Dixie's scholastic record has, while he has been in the M.,LrSg. , 'Y imc school, ever been of the .highest order, and he has never '-1 jjj, 1 left commencement exercises without a certificate of Spe- tmg-,'f -QZ' ,M cial Distinction. He is a forceful orator, excellent ?j,,.AQ,g,f, l writer, and an invaluable student in the school. -i?.L.?4E' -ffl - 1.-f IT 1 - Dick plans to go to Yale next fall, and we expect him to establish a fine reputation' for old St. C. there. The , school will not seem the same with the absence of an old i fifj veteran. like Dixie. Don't get too snooty, Dick boy, and visit your Alma Mater often. 'Ye -' . W fst'.sf-if- i i23l

C3 VVell, well, if it isn't Charley himself! There is an honest-to-goodness lump in my throat when l think that our beloved fellow'-student is leaving us soon. Charley, with his good nature and' contagious grin, holds a place in our hearts which no one else can fill. And that is the way with life. At least Charley may be sure that wherever he goes he will not lack devoted friends. But now let us consider some of his many achievements. He has taken part in almost every phase- of school life. He gave an excellent characterization as the star pitcher in this year's presentation of the St. Kit's Players, The Pedagoguef' And when it comes to managing, Charley is right there. He is man- ager of this yea1 s baseball team, which looks like it is going to be one of the most successful ever put on the field by St. Christophe1 s. Charley, old boy, we hate to say good-bye, but we know that you Will reliect nothing but credit on your school and class in the years to come. Mayf all happiness and success be yours in life. E251
