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

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

A post- graduate methinks-one of the rarest W specimens that ever' adorned the halls of St. Christopher's. Who am I that should write him up? George is a senior among seniors-both on account of the many times he has been one and on .account of the multiplicity! of his accomplishments. Last year he gradu- ated with due form ar1d ceremony, andi We all shed tears and lamented his departure sorely. But, lo and beholdl this year he was right back again,. and we who thought that we would be big dogs this year found ourselves overshadowed by a still fbigger dog. Yet-We must admit-George deserves all the prestige that is his. For two years a member of the Stu- dent Council, this yearls President of the Jackson Liter- ary Society, last year's Editor of the Pine Needle, Adver- tising Nlanager of the '29 Rfzps and Taps, President of the Dramatic Club, a sheik among sheiks, a buller among bullers, a,workerC?Q among Workers, George made his influence felt in almost every branch of scholas- tic and literary endeavor. VVhatever he may do in years to come, whether he gets into Princeton Kas he hopesj or whether he does not Cas we expectl, he will have many friends at St. Christopher's who will follow his career with keen interest. i26l ii fi s - ff ggf r AZ 44 ff.
