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.

But what a record, what a blaze of glory, both in athletics and in School activities, X I R has he left behind him! - I ' , ' In school life Charlie has a very prominent position. A most' respected and admiredmember K X I W of the Student Honor Committee, he has always unfailingy upheld his reputation as an ' X honorable gentleman. He has served creditably this year as President of the Monogram Club, ' , . .45 E and ably maintained the high standard of that organization. In every representative assembly, it l 5 in every body composed of the outstanding members of the School, Charlie is to be found. ' f f . But it is in athletics that Kennon especially excels. The'Class of '31 has the proud distin X I5 tion of having on its roster the names of two four-letter--menfthe first since the time 0 , Js George Lee. Charlie, by popular vote the best athlete in the School, is one of these athletes. e li has made letters in football, basketball, basball, and track-letters won only through hard, grindii work, letters that are proofs of the sportsmanlike qualities possessed by their wearer. No mimi i Y 2' will soon forget how Charlie rapidly rose from the scrubs and became- a mainstay in .ourX' X , X g , line for two years. In basketball he was one ofthe mainicogs in' our offenseq In baseball he 5 .r V K was a consistent hitter and fielder, while in track his pole-vaulting and high-jumping ability I ff K took many points for us. In every branch of athletics:Kennon excels, and he istworthy of th ' ,K honor of wearing the four major letters. ' rt-1' I X by Z K We don't know where Charlie will be next year.
