VVho is this handsome young gentleman pictured above? Why, it is none other than T. Stokes Grymes, one of the school's outstanding sheiks, well-known as a man-about-town. Uncle Tom, or Stokesy, as he is called, entered our midst five years ago, and since then has made quite a record for himself Cthis can be taken two waysl. Tom played on the Bulldog Football Team, but on account of injuries has never been able to make the Varsity, although he made a very creditable showing this year. But in- basketball Stokesy comesinto his own. After starting his illustrious career on' the Junior Varsity, he develpoed into one of the surest-shooting, most valuable guards in yearsg indeed, he holds the honor of being high-point man for fthe 1930 season, after standing very near the top last year. Uncle Tom also has the distinction of being one of the best tennis players in school, and will be quite a11 asset to our proposed tennis team this year. In 'his classes he surprises and rufdes even Doctor and Mr. Mac Bryde. by his remarkably witty and interesting views on certain subjects. ' Stokesy has not decided as to his plans for next year, whether he will honor some university or enter into his business career. However, we feel sure that he will find succe h t h' A , 1 ss, W a ever is undertakmg. His good-natured laugh and basketball ability, among other things, will be sorely missed next year.

Who couldithis be other than Joe Chinn, another charter member of the Tappahannock and Vicinity Delegation? ' Joe, with his ever-present smile, has graced our school grounds for two short, but pleasant, years. Never has a frown taken the place of that famous smile of his. Joe is witty and cheerful, always spreading sunshine around him. As a member of the football squad of last year he proved his mettle and won his letter as a member of this year's team due to his remarkable stamina, his stubborn defense and his determination -to fight to the end. As a pitcher, Joe showed up well last year and wi ll no doubt shine on this year's team as a regular. Although inexperienced in basket- ball, Joe played 'hard during' the past season and did exceedingly well in spite of his greenness. Well, Joe, it grieves us greatly to bid adicu to you, but at the same time we feel proud to have such an earnest worker as a .member of our Senior Class going out into the world on his own.

' I And who, may we ask, is this, whose handsome features adorn this page? Aha! 'tis none other than George-George who? Don't you know? Why, George the heartbreaker,-in other words, George E. Harrison. 'Twas five years ago that George entered the portals of dear old St. Christopher's School, and during these live years since that memorable day, he 'has annexed to his name -the: lengthy list of titles which we read above. It is a record to be proud of, is George's, for in that list are to be found some of the highest honors the school has to offer. Read tor yourself and see! 5 By his good-natured disposition and warm, friendly manner, George has made a multitude Cwith apologies to Mr. Blackwellj of friends who will sincerely miss him next year. He has been a real leader in everything he has undertaken, and his absence next year will leave a- gap which will be indeed hard to fill. Nor will he be missed by his schoolmates alone: there are throngs of his admirers' residing on the grounds of a kindred institution by whom his presence will be sorely rnissedl - ' George will attend classes at the University of Virginia next year, where he will enter new fields of activity. Don't 'forget us, George, old boy! XVe'll miss you. A F21 l Qgmvn 5 gr e fun 'Si eww'
