Swede came to St. Christopher's just four years ago, a big, bashfnl, good-natured boy, who seemed a likely football candidate. Nor did Swede deceive the School, for, after two years of drudgery and of scrub work, he came into his own and clinched for himself a position on the First team. For two years the sturdy Swede has been a powerful guard in the St. L'hristopher's line, and many a time would he break through to down an opponent several yards back of the line of scrimmage. Swede has been a persistent worker at basketball, and, though he never won his Varsity award, he has learned a lot about the game, He also was an aspirant for catcher on the Baseball Team. linough for his athletic ability. In his studies Swede is a persistent worker. Carrying an extraordinarily heavy course in order to win his diploma, he has acquitted himself nobly. Steatlily, since his arrival here, his grades have improved, and this year he will leave School, a full graduate. Swedes smiling face and massive body have won for him many admirers. both male and temale. His cheerfulness, his U.i:fZll3lllf.V, and his ood nature make . , . . . . ' . hun everyones triend. His company is always welcome, and his departure will leave a fra J hard to till. P1 The L'niversity of Virginia will obtain another fine output from St. Chris- topher's in Sweden: the School rues his going, yet wishes lum the best ot luck in the days to come. GEORGE A. HILL Richmond, Va. S YEARS Lev I.itt'rur3' Sm'it'ty,' Mx'.v.viouury Surtvty. Soul: novs are of a boisterous, jovial nature, and of these we easily grow weary. One will sweep down upon us, take us by storm, and. with a slap on the back and a booming greeting, will leave us dazed and bewildered. Then, again, this same unbearably happy fellow, whose cheerfulness is thunder and lightning, has a temper of tire and brimstone. However, there are some easy-going, imperturb- able boys among us, of whom we never weary, George Hill is one of these. George entered St. Christopher's eight years ago. He has never commanded a great deal of attention: but next year we must realize the vacancy left by him. The presence of this unassuming boy, who has worked steadily on to his Senior vear, has become a part of our School life. Our one regret is that he has been so reserved and so independent that we have not had the opportunity to know him as we would. Though he has never taken a prominent part in School activi- ties, he has worked conscientiously on the subjects in which he expects to be graduated. One seldom or never sees Hill wasting time or dilly-dallyingf' Now, at this point, it might seem that George is a boy who holds himself aloof and is self-sufficient, but let us say that he is everybotly's friend and is ever willing to lend his assistance merely for the asking. lt is cool-headed, deliberate people like George that get somewhere' in the world and lind themselves ahead of our unreliable. impulsive hot-heads. We shall all be sorry to see him go, and he has our best wishes.

His recitations were not merely perfect but pluperfect. This young prodigy, wisdom incarnate, was none other than our illustrious Senior, Mayo Labell. Mayo has constantlv led his class and has captured all manner of prizes. in Latin, French. and what-not. He has the rare ability to study and digest his les- sons quickly and has the excellent memory to retain all he studies. Therefore, he is blessed with an abundance of spare time, in which a person as IIQSTFCSSWC H5 Ulbflll cannot be inactive. He has shown admirable good sense in his choice of l'CCreation. His time is divided between mental and physical development. Few 'WFS are as well-read as Mavo, and fewer still proht by their reading as much 21SuMayo. In athletics, as in everything else at which he tries his skill, he excels. NX lthin four years he has risen from a grovelling scrub on the Bulldog Football Sfluad to an All-City Halfback on a City fhampionship Team. In track, also, Lflllflll. the invincible, is prominent. ln fact, last year, he was the whole 'I rack Team. being the only trackster to represent us in any meet. He high jumps five and a half feet, broad jumps twenty-one feet, runs the 100 and 220-yard dashes in record time and, in short, is something of a track man. Around school, Mayo is looked up to as a leader. XVhy? XYell. notice the list of honors above. A eulogy on this versatile and accomplished boy might run fer 171111051 yet, having already Hlled the allotted space with a discussion ofhhis accomplishments, we find it impossible to go into his character, his nature, which, however, can be fully appreciated only by those who have known him.

However, don't let the lllCture fool you, hecause I'looch is not always as serious as he looks here. Hooeh started his career at St. Christopher's in the Lower School many 5'Cill'5 HMO and distinguished himself down there hy heiug chosen Leader, the high- est honor in the l.owcr School. He then went through the first three forms of the L llllvl' School, after which he went away to military school for two years. How- CVCr, since the old .limo illnler kept calling him, he came hack to us two years Hao, and entered the Sixth Form with his old classmates. ln these two years he has heeome a very necessary eog in the machinery of the School, taking a promi- nent part in foothall and many of the school activities. - The lioothall Team certainly did get a lmreak when llooch came hack, for lus ahility as a haeklield man was immediately recognized, and for two years he has heen a mainstay in the Red and Gray line-up. He has not played a position on the team where he could shine forth and make spectacular runs, hut as lll C,klllH hack he has opened the holes for other hacklield men. Although hlocking IS lus specialty, he is also a hard tackler and a good pass receiver. .This year Atkins was elected President of the Lee Society, and in this ca- bacity he has shown himself to he an ahle leader. Ile was also made a memher of thi! Student llonor Committee, an honor which he well deserves. l'lotchkiss is planning to enter V. M. l. this fall, and we hate to see him leave St. Christopher's.
