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

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

The handsome features above are none other than! those of Thomas L. Moore, Ir., better known as Tommie. Tommie is another boy who has served his full term at St. Christopher's School, having passed ten long years at this school since he first enrolled under the guidance of Miss Boulclin. T0mmie's remarkable scholastic ability has made him leader in his class practically every year 3' this, however, has not turned his head, and he is 'still the 'same modest, retiring young gentleman as he was years ago. TO1Ul11lCYS abilities do not stop at the scholastic. Last year he rendered invaluable service on the Pina N cerlle and Raps and Taps Staffsg ini ifact, the financial success ,of last year's Annual was due in a large measure-'to 'his excellent advertising work. This year he is also a member of the Pine Needle Staff, audi holds the very high position of Co-Editor-in-Chief of the 1930 Rafps and Taps, in which position he'has been absolutely invaluable. Throughout his long stay at St. Christopher's Tommie, through his attractive personality, has gained a great many friends, and his abscence from this school next year will be keenly felt. lfVe are all sure, Tommie, that, in spite of your youth, you will distinguish yourself at Lawrence- villenext year in preparation for Princeton as you have at St. Christopher's.
