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

' 0 210 Seldom, if ever, in the history of this institution has there been a boy who has done as much for St. Christopher's School as has Fritz Nolting. For many years he has taken part in practically every school activity, and in only a very few instances has his part been a minor one. He has always been one of those rare boys who could be depended upon to win. In 1927, as the representative of this school, he won the State Declamation Contest. In 1928 he defeated the representative of Virginia Episcopal School in public speaking, and later he won the State Public Reading Contest at Charlottesville. This year he was the President of the Lee Society-the wining society this year in the school. For four years he has starred in the performances of the Dramatic Club. Let us pause for breath! In athletics Fritz is nearly as outstanding as he is Wig, ,.., W 'i scholasti-cally. Three times he has made his Varsity C ' 5, -first as a member of the '27 football team, next as a if gg-te Ta member of the '28 baseball team, and Hnally as a mem- . M , ti bel- of-the '28 football team. T ff? .I But We do not stop here! Two years a member of the I H ,, 4: '-,fi ' '-'N ' l Student Council, the appointment to which is the high- -, ,, ff f, ' est honor in St. Christopher's School, and two years a -ijE,?,,,-Q-L5 director of the Missionary Society and president this year 3' ' A of this society, Nolting's career seems to have been lack- ,5 ing in not field. Imagine a boy who has received nearly ' every honor obtainable at St. Christopher's, who has a 5,',,,,1gi ei. wonderful personality and a remarkable knack for making K- friends, and, in spite of all thi.s, is modest and unconceited, ' and you will have a perfect picture of Fritz. Au revoir, old fellow! We'll miss youl f29l
