' 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

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

SCHOFIELD RICHMOND, VA. 10 Years C5 Jackson Literary Societyg Missionary' So- cietyg Director of the Missionary Society, '29g Treasurer of the Mi'ssiona1'y Society, '29g Treasurer ofthe Monogram Club, '29g Varsity Football Team, '27, 'ZSQ Pine Needle Staff, '28, '29g Student Council, '29g Business I Maliager of Raju' and Taps, '29, - K C3 Before us, gentle reader, We have the author of many an impassioned appeal to the school for funds, more funds, and l I still 'more funds. 'Tis Schofield, the business man and handler of money- when there is any to handle. Jim has held the position of business manager or treasurer in almost every school activity, and on his capable shoulders has rested the responsibility of supplying those shekels which are in such demand by hard-hearted publishers and similar folk. However, Schofield has not! devoted his ten years spent at the County Jail solely to business affairs! He displays a Varsity letter in football on his manly chest, and could boast of numerous literary triumphs as well. jim wields a wicked pen, too. The results of his ink-slinging have brightened the pages of the Pine Needle and the Annual more than once. As for his ersonal characteristics, a more accom lished P . . . pen than mine would be required to do Justice to them. He combines a sunn f dis osition and a ca acitv for hard 5 a ' I Work in such a Way that he has friends and admirers on every side. WVe hate to see Jim leaving St. Christopher's sheltering walls for the cold, cruel World outside. The Student Council, the Mionogram Club, and many other organiza- tions will be bereft of a most valuable member, but we know that Schofield will bring honor to the school and himself in whatever he attempts. It is to be hoped that he will return often and take up a period or two in the inevitable speech. i30l
