FOUR YEARS AGO, a boy by the name of John Tyler took his place in the Third Form. Upper School. He was about five feet tall and weighed barely ninety pounds. Some of the teachers were under the impression that a mistake had been made, and that in reality this youngster belonged in a lower grade. Later, these same teachers saw that their judgment had been wrong, for he not only kept up in his classes, but he did unusually well. On account of his small size and youth, John has not been able to do much in the way of athletics, but he has worked determinedly on the smaller squads, and this year he in- tends to try for a position on the Varsity Baseball Team. His greatest asset is his unfailing wit and good humor. Whenever a class gets a little dull or grouchy, John can always be counted on to enliven it with some ludicrous remark or action. However, he has served his term at the County Jail, and in the four years that he has been with us, he has shown that he has the stuff in him, even though he is not another Hercules. Next year he will attend the V. M. I., and we know that he will live up to the record that has been established there by boys from St. Christopher's. Good-bye, John, and good luck. We hate to lose you, but whenever you come down to Richmond, drop in and see some of your old pals who are still serving time. l28l 6 is , . . .-:rf E' -xiii: f Q.

THOR, or SO0PY, as he is popularly termed, is one of the few students attending St. Christopher's whose homes lie outside of Virginia. Thor comes from New York, but in no way has he attempted to hold himself aloof from Southern customs and manners. Coming here some four years ago, he at once entered into the School's curriculum. If we were compelled to point out sevc ral outstanding qualities of character in each Senior, in the case of Thorn we should select ambition and a willingness to work, espe- cially along certain lines of interest. Since the first day he enrolled in St. Christophe-r's, he has made it clear that his chief desIre was to make good as a iournalist. Thor has striven hard in that respect, and not without definite results. He now holds enviable posi- tions on the staffs of both school publications. He has shown a partic'.1'ar willingness to be present at all the athletic contests, in order that they might always be written up by one of the Sports Editors. This year Thorn has capably filled he position of Librarian for the Memorial Library. A Librarian was badly needed. and Thorn was good enough to come forward. Owing to his efforts, a large number of the books have been catalogued efficiently, and may now be referred to without delay. Along athletic lines. Thor's chief interest lies in basketball. He plays a good game, and made a creditable showing on the smaller teams. This year, on the Varsity, he con- tinued to show up well, although he did not succeed in winning his letter. He is one of the boys on lwhom we are counting to defend St. Christopher's city championship title in tennis, a so.

MAC WELLFORD is one of the most fearless, high-minded boys that St. Christopher's has ever had the honor to enrollg no one has ever for an instant thought Mac capable of a mean or dishonorable act. Mac, is the kind of boy that thinks out his own plan of salvation, determined to do what is right, regardless of jeers and laughter, for when he makes up his mind that he should do a certain thing, he is going to do it, notwithstanding popular opinion or any other obstacle. He has a clear-thinking mind and level-headed, sound judgment. , Mac came to St. Christopher's six years ago, and has taken part in every branch of School activities. He has made every football team in the Upper School, did the best acting of any member of the Dramatic Club this year, was elected President of both the Jackson Literary Society and the Missionary Society, was winner of the Reading Prize this year, and won honors for the School in public speaking. Whatever Mac attempts, he does well. He has self-confidence and self-respect, but he is not boastfulg he merely feels it his duty and privilege to uphold the honor and pre-eminence of his aristocratic family. He is a real Virginia gentleman. E291 Y' I l 1 Q 4. 45 Q HI' '. I 5 lla .rips ' Q 'Q' ' ' 555' 4- 1.12-' l l if '11 ll' '12 '-l'l liE ii A A ff fi ,y,gxf,' iff A 2 lim, :il ,473 5 ggi 4 I, ':-gn.-.a
