Ah, Gentle Reader! cast your admiring glances at the determined countenance above. It is none other than that of ol' Frank Meacham. Four years ago, Frank entered the inviting portals of St. Christopher's School 'for the First time. He hailed from the ancient city of Jackson, N. C., and it will be a long time before we can 'hope for another as good as he. - From his first clay in school Meacham has done a lot to put St. Christopher's on the mapl' in athletics. This fact is shown hy Frank's being voted the best aihlete 'in school during the ,past year. He 'has made the Football Team every year, playing a guard position on the City Champion- ship Team of, 1926. He' was captain ol the 1929 team and did stellar work in the fullback position, Frank has been on the Track 'lleams of '26, '27, '28, and '29, and made his letter on the baseball team for the past four seasons. This year he is President of the Monogram lClub and a member of the Student Council. - VV e could go on cuumerating Me:cham's many honorsland achievements, but there is no more space. Enough sad that allot us will miss Frank, and that whenhe goes the school will lose one of the best men it has ever turned out. Luck to you, Frank, and may your successes in life excel, if possible. your achievements in school. .5261 If Q' ' e e ff 'gzifn dsi

GUTHRIE LUKE RICHIXIOND, VA. 1 year Lee Literary Societyg Missionary Societyg Varsity Football Squad, '28, ' Behold, Ladies and Gentlemen, the noble visage of Maryland's very best! Though Gus has been with us but one short year, he has made innumerable friends. He has. a decided talent for the manly art of bul1ing, and always has some new story about how he made his Chryslen step it up to ninety, thereby eluding a posse of speed cops. Gus is also a fast worker with the fair sex, and many are the hearts that have beat faster when he was around. At the beginning of the footballtseason Luke came out with the rest of us, and though unable to make the team, he was a hard working scrub and gave the best that was in him. You have not decided what you will do next year, Gus, but wherever you go, or whatever you do fespeeially in the red Chrysler on one of these moonlit nightsj, remember that our best wishes are with you, and that we always hope for your success. f25fj 'QPU J ' : VCV jbgaxfebr' .f G' 5 5 h -QFNIIRQQ

GILMER MINOR, ill RICHMOND, VA. 9 years Jackson Literary Societyg Missionary Society: Varsity Football Team, '2S,.'29: Varsity Basket- ball Team, '29, '30g Captain Varsity Basketball, '30g Director Missionary Society, '30g Monogram Club. ,2S.

No boy in St. Christopher's School can lay claim to more all-round participation in school activities than this modest young man whose countenance is portrayed here on this glistening page. Gil Minor is one of those remarkable individuals who are always ready and able to do any' job that comes along whether it be in the line of athletics or of literary and school work. How- ever, it is in athletics that Gil has distinguished himself especially. He is one of the best ends that ever held down that difhcult position for a St. Christopher's football team. In addition, after earning a letter in basketball last year, he was elected captain for this year and filled that responsible position excellently. This Spring, Minor is one of the milinstays of what promises to be a winning tennis team. - ' , As for his less energetic activftics, he is a member of the Student Council, a director of the Nlissionary Society. a member of the literary team, and one of the hardest workers on the Rolls and Taps Staff, to say nothing of his noble efforts in behalf of the Jackson Literary Society. Add to these accomplishments a warm friendship for every one, especially the ladies 3 a sunny disposition and ready gring and a gift for repartee and bulling, and the picture of this Senior is completed. Reports state that he is headed for V. M, I. next year. May his successes continue, and may he never forget, while struggling in and out of uniforms at 5 A. M., that be has left a crowd of loyal friends at' the County Jail. l27l ffE 'K7'Nr1i-S
