C CS ma lon 0 0 J- 2-- Not being athletically inclined, Robby turned his efforts toward dramatics and some of the ,V gentler arts. The fact that he is Vice-President of the Dramatic Club is an indication of his ri X a-bility as an actor, but as wc have heard that the proof of the pudding is the eating thereof, . X likewise Robinson must be seen in one of his various roles to be appreciated. Those of us who LJ-6 - yast. year saw his masterful depiction of the eccentric uncle in Going Crooked realize his J 2 abilig. bMany of us also enjoyed his uproariously funny capers in the St. Christopher's Scream, fl o inson's range of activities only begins at dramatics, for I l' 'd s h's t' , 'numerous other things in School.

In his election to the Honor Committee Robby holds 'Vx 1 A 1 honor sought by every boy in School and one which comes to but few. N . We are expecting to hear great things of you next year, Robby, old dear, and we know you 1, , i I I fatvill not disappoint us. All we can say is that you will he sorely missed here next year. tx J r ,f -f lil r f,!v! V if X 1 Qpll f , 3 ff ly ,jf fix. .fi l 30 I rg, A X .

IT rms nam: stun a jolly unselfish personality is the greatest gift of all. During the many years 'fRip has attended old St. Christopher's, he has exemplified this trait always. Ever cheerful, bright, unsellish, he has endeared himself to us, to the masters, to everyone who has come in contact with him. He is always ready with a helping hand for every one: carefree, joyous, he has gone his way, a happy, generous way through School life and so into the next great adventure where strange voices call and new goals are to be striven for. As a member of the football squad, Raleigh worked as hard as any man on the team, and when tired bodies . I 4- 1 ff, - ll W1 and nerves were strained to the breaking point by the seemingly endless practice sessions, Rip 'Q was ever smiling and humorous, helping every one by preserving his own cheerful outlook. He managed a very successful baseball team through a difhcult season, and what many of 5849! us do not know, was primarily responsible for the fine condition of the present Varsity baseball 1--ID diamond. Tl1is he accomplished by dint of hard work in those days when St. Christopher's was 'ff onl then attaining the fame on the diamond that has come to it in recent years. During t e e .... Y . . . . N 1930 season he forsook the managerial position for the team itself, and patrolled the outfield 1 J' several games for the Saints. Due to the exodus of baseball from this spring's calendar, 1 f turned to track for the first time. I-Ie is also a member of the Monogram Club and lends 's ,f presence at all its dances to assure their success. Of course there is a certain some one 2 l ! ' but maybe you've heard that one before. He is leaving us this year, we are sad to relate, but h XX 1 A leaves fond memories with those that have also come to the end of the trail, and among thosxege , that remain, well, good-by, Raleigh, here's hoping that some day success will .parallel your' popularity, and before the book is closed, the pen put away, the ink dry, others will have caus K to dip anew the quill and record achievements to your name. Remember, success comes to thos f who wait. Success is assured those who strive, and success is yours for the asking. X if l ii E Sf f -- I I . -Y- V ta, y It Zgl , .

CHRISTOI'HER,S as a comparatively old boy. This was in the fall of 1927. He entered the Fourth Form, and it wasn't long before he made his presence felt. Although he cannot be called an athlete, strictly speaking, he has gone out for football for the four years 1 Q he has honored us with his presence. He was on the baseball squad one year, and this year is - Manager of track. These are by no means all the ways in which he has worked for St. Chris- X , , topher'sg they are only to show you what an active interest he has taken in athletics. He has Q ', done fine work towards making the plays successes, and also has contributed a great deal to the X Pine Needle and Rafts and Taps for the past few years. 'A Sty-r-r-rs, for such he is often called, is always a willing worker. It is a pleasure be associated with him in anything, because of his bright, sunny disposition and his pleasan manner. However, there is really no need to go into a description of his personal characte , for one look at his shining likeness will convince you that, try as I may, I cannot evet approach doing him justice. Robert is a great favorite around St. Christopher's, of course, but, ' it be possible, he is even more welcomed, praised and sought after at a school not far distanks X Rx WN' I ? a x were probably erected to force such as he to stopj and he is instantly surrounded by a beautiful jealous, pushing host. It is needless to say that Bob will be missed at that institution. It makes us very sad to think that Bob is going to leave us. There will be a keenly fel vacancy in our student body. But we feel confident that he will be a huge- success wherever he may be. Here's to you, Bob! VVish you the best of luck at V. M. I. Don't forget us, come hack, and see us often.
