CHR1sToPmda's-R. A. Cabell. That's what the returns of the 1931 Pine Needle polls decreed. And I suspect the decision was unanimous. 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.

' Cabell joined with Everett Lee as Editor of the Pine Needle this year.

NINP1 LONG vi-:Alas A00 a curly haired youth hailing from Washington entered St. Christopher's as a student in the Lower School. This lad's name was Alexander Jeffries, and in the space of nine years at St. Christopher's has passed from childhood into manhood, and is now an esteemed Senior on the threshold o,f,,graduation. Alex has always participated in every branch of athletics and earned his letter on every football team from the Fleas right on up. After playing for two years on the Junior team, Alex, in spite of a decided lack of weight, earned the position of regular guard on the Varsity. y making up in fight what he lacked in weight, he had a habit of breaking through opposing lines and smearing would-be runs behindfthex line of scrimmage. 7 Although football is jcFf's best sporilihe. did not fail to go out for others. He worked X anager. Alex has always shown a lar., of determination and was never phased in the least if he did not happen to become 0UfStHllKlll'lg' in every activit.y that he entered. He has estab- J I lard as a member of the track squad f r two years, and this year served faithfully as Assistant l hed the reputation of being a hard worker in everything he took part in, whether on the a hlesc field or the class room. His endeavors' extended into ghehliteraryljield as well, for in . ' 1 c t e s ort space of a year he developed the mirti cepartment o t e Pine ccdl into the most ' pular and widely ,read part of the School paper. , f In short, Alex is'known by all as a real friend, and he. will be greatly missed next year. ff hatever he may do in years to come, helwill have many friends at St. Christopher's who will Z fy ,fhllcgvshis careefrxyvvith keengnterest.
