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

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.

DURING THE SEVEN YEARS in which George has attended St. Christopher's, he has taken part in every activity in which he has been permitted to participate. A slender physique has kept George out of several sports, but in the others he has worked hard in his efforts to succeed. Along literary lines he has done particularly well, being among the leaders in his class and having held prominent positions on the RAPS AND TAPS and Pine Needle staffs for several years now. This year he was selected as one of the two Co-Editors of the School paper. He has worked very conscientiously on this pa per, with the result that the Pine Needle has been up to its usual standard of high literary worth. In 1930 George aided in the managing of the highly successful Varsity Football Team. Last fall he was Manager of Varsity Football, and although the team did not have as successful a season as in some years previous, it was not from want of a good manager. George was a glutton for work, and he was tried to the utmost. In every possible way he aided Mr. Brenaman, who would have been sadly handicapped without the services of a capable manager. George has made innumerable friends at St. Christopher's, and he will probably be as loath to leave certain of his friends as they will be to let him go. Above all, he is always glad to do anything that may be requested of him. His place will be hard to fill next year. E301 f . -U 1, - -if Z 5 .
