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.

C3 lit was four long years ago that Gordon Lewis entered the portals of old St. C. S. for the first time, thereby becoming a charter member of the Tappahannock and Vicinity Delegation. The funny thing about all Tappahannockites is that they, would actually rather livei in Tapp-ahannock than anywhere elsel No outsider can understand this, especially after having once been there. In spite of this peculiarity, however, Zert quickly made himself liked by every one connected with the school, and gained a popularity Which, if anything, has increased each year. ln athletics, only his lack of weight kept Zert from gaining a wing position in Varsity football after he had 3551- ,1f, ',-it':faf, already occupied that berth on the Junior Team. Finally, 'i' 1 -ji luckily for the school, he decided to try managing, and ' ii N ,. ..,,,, 2 as a result the '28 team had one of the best managers 'f f ft i Q that has ever held down that important position. 3 nv- .fhgl Perhaps Lewis' best characteristic is the wav he gives his ii gf , T i best to any work he has to do. For instance, he is so .ff' , ' studious that one can hardly believe he is a boarder. His 313 many good qualities gained for him the honor of mem- , gg 'il' jd ,- bership on the Student Council, of which august assem- 1,'L?, ,Q blage he has been a member since the middle of his Junior i ii? gf' 1' T year. tw ! , iff, i His friends say that Zert would tackle anything. We hope that after leaving the abode of the SaintsC?l he will have the highest success in everything he tackles andall possible good luck in life. i28l
