A 2 HERB Wiz HAVE Ion Br:A'r'rIla, another member of that family which for past years has been I so well represented at St. Christopher's, and to which our School owes so much. It was f 77' eleven long years ago, some will remember, when a little boy with the name of J. Gilmore f Beattie first entered the shadows of these pines and became a Saint.'.' And, in the years since, ' - , X this little boy has grown and developed both mentally and physically into lns present seniorship. , My all the while endearing himself to every one of his fellow-students. Now it is hard to see 1 L K X him go. ' A Joe has never been able to be very active in School life. Back in the lower forms he used M to go out for all the teams, and worked faithfully and hard. He was rewarded, too, for his l efforts, for he played ,well on the smaller football and baseball teams. But when he reached X the Varsity, joe found that his weight was against him and was forced to drop out. Then, in X X l the meetings of the literary societies, because of an impediment in his speech, he wasn't given gl ,Q Q. a chance to do anything and so couldn't get far in that line. A X U , But in spite of his absence in athletic and literary activities, joe Beattie occupies an i - ' portant position in the School. By every boy in St. Christopher's, and especially by his fellox - ' .gig members of the Seventh Form, he is aFfcctionateIy esteemed and regarded as a true and sinc ' l ' friend. No matter where Joe goes or what he does next year, we all know he will do wel, and we wish him the very best of luck. X XXX g M as f 1 ' ' ,X X I . W X Q65 LTL-, ,, ff i --MW - f 4?

Dick has certainly done more than his share in keeping old St. Christopher's on the map. He has been with us only ti alll gjlllll 1 f .' three years, but during that time he has accomplished almost triple what the average student W jf would be proud of. Dick is conscientious and hard-working, and his achievements might well F, 'N ff- f X be set forth as an example to the younger scholars. 5 N X Dick entered into almost every phase of scholastic and athletic work that time would permit. ,J ' Q X !His suices-s in Each has llaeeg outstancgalg, and inf eaiich heddisplayed an ability as a leader, ,especia y in per orming is uties as airman o t e Stu ent Honor Committee.
