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-. .

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

' LEWIS came to St. Christopher's in the fall of 1920, entering the First Form, Lower School. He immediately attained a position of prominence among his fellows, and when he reached the Fifth Form, he was elected Leader of the Lower School. Lewis has always been a leader in the School in every activity: he has been at the very top ln scholastic standing, has been captain of numerous Junior athletic teams, was thls Yffar Captain of Varsity Basketball, is President of the Honor Committee and 'the Lee Literary Society, is Editor of RAPS AND TAPS, and was voted the best-looking boy in School. One .cannot meet Lewis without being impressed by his manly frame, straight- forwardpbusiness-like manner, attractive personality, and curly hair. Lewis has been called a typical St. Christopher's-trained athlete. There is apparently no sport which he cannot master. When Lewis starts anything, he goes in for it heart and soul, determined to excel. He is one of the most serious, conscientious workers in the School, and always uses his head, thinking in a clear, cool, deliberate manner. rm 'Q an 3' g -A , 5. -,gr X 4.1 - f ' - :TX EE 1 ' i ' - .1-ii-...T-..-.1 i.11.1i , xx E7 :gf l l l l l -txvxfi , 4L , .g .g r , -'ll Z1 i I '3' , 1:1 J 1 4' -gg -.. qllll W' Q
