Lily arrived at school some five years ago as a lowly third-former. Handicapped by lack of weight, he has never been able to take part in Varsity athletics, but he has repeatedly tried for positions on the smaller teams, and made the Bulldog Football Team lalslgfallgl This spring he was appointed Manager of Boxing, and as such proved himself ua e. Though the youngest member of the Senior Class, Barnes stands well up in the Upper Fourth in scholastic record. During the past year, too, he has been an indispensa- ble rnember of the Pme Needle staff. Since he has been at St. Christopher's, Lily has readily made numerous friends-his cheerful grin and ready wit have become such a matter of course that we shall miss them sorely next year. - At first sight, Lily seems quite modest and retiringg but we have heard tales of his prowess as a heart-breaker down in the wilds of Mathews. It is said that he has com- Pletely ensnared the heart of one young lady of Mathews and Westhamptong no doubt his other conquests have been many. l We do not know positively what plans Barnes has for next year, it is rumored that he .intends to go to V. P. I., and then later to Boston Tech. We hate to tell you good-bye, Iglly 5 but we know that you will continue to do great things wherever you go. Here's wishing you the best of luck! 171 X X L 439 lf - , . E-I A ,4 5 ,5-Q3' l l L o f fm-fzif .ge

PRETTY is another one of those boys who have come to St. Christopher's and distin- guished themselves in many departments in a comparatively short time. Very soon after he enrolled here, he formed numerous friendships through his easy, engaging manner, and his ready wit. Berryman at once took a lead in the athletics of the school and was recognized not only here, but throughout the state, as a great football player. Possessed of unlimited natural ability, tall, rangy, loose-hipped, and endowed with very large hands, it naturally followed that Berryman was one of the outstanding members of the two elevens on which he played. Time and again he broke away for long, flashy runs, and his beautiful snagging of passes brought many a spectator to his feet. Who will ever forget the McGuire's game of 1930, in which Berryman snatched an almost impossible pass from the air and weaved his way through the McGuire's team and over the goal line for the winning touchdown? Adkins' athletic abilities do not stop here. He is almost as good in basketball as in football. On the court, his height and big hands give him a tremendous advantage, and there is added to that a good eye for the basket. This spring we are counting on him to be of great service to the baseball team. This year the columns of the Pine Needle have been considerably brightened by the contributions of Macbeth Adkins. In his column, Methought I Heard a Voice Cry, all of the high spots of the school's scandal are touched upon, and here are to be found crimes which the culprits themselves never knew they had committed. Adkins' wit and good-naturedness will undoubtedly carry him far in this world. E161 r-rv ,'7 's 5 V- -Q-.1 -, 5 ET . .V 44243 , '- ' ffvffl n. 33. 1 Q - D ' 'K F t gl E? -fU,w4,,'i M , : .v.

WILLIAM T. BARRON Norfolk, Va. 3 YEARS Ima l.1'!vrnry .S'oricty,' Mi.vsiona y Socivtyg Football Squad, '29, '30g Trade Sqzmri, '29, '30. COMING FROM another school at an age when he was pretty far advanced in his work, Barron was naturally faced with the difficulty of entering into the working of the School in a way which would be most profitable to himself. Only those boys who have advanced from the.lowest forms of the School are able to beneiit to the highest degree from the great advantages offered them. Despite this drawback, Barron has steadily improved since his matriculation at St. Christopher's, especially during this past year. We are forced to sympathize with Barron in another respect. Three years ago, in the session in which he commenced his studies at this School, he turned out when the call for track material was issued. From the very first, Barron showed real promise as a dash man. He was naturally fast and had already cultivated some degree of form. Though not particularly successful in the meets that year, it was generally felt that Barron had real ability and with a little more development would provide real material for the team. However, heart-trouble prevented Tommy from reporting the following spring, and he and the track squad together suffered. This particular physical debility has kept Tommy out of the other sports, and we sympathize with him greatly. We believe that not until Barron has reached a further state of maturity in college will his individual abilities be evinced. Naturally of a nature slow to assert itself, Tommy has not taken full advantage of the opportunities offered here. Without a doubt, college will be a big help to Tommy. We hope we shall be able to speak of Tommy with pride when reports come back of his prowess as an alumnus of St. Christopher's School. E181 5 fa - Q Q Q - - I X 1 a t :jf-' K X.:-I-. .
