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.

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.

Hvma, of South Carolina, Ginter Park and Sweetbriar! Three years ago 'l'elay entered tlns institution, and since that time he has become a very important figure in the School as an athlete, social leader, and gloom-chaser. Let us first consider Hyde's athletic career. XVell, in the first place, he is an all-around athlete. XVhen he first came to St. Christopher's, Telay was too small to play on the Varsity teams, but he made a name for himself on the various Junior teams. However, by last year he had grown so much that he was able to go out for Varsity football, basketball and baseball, and he not only went out for those sports: he made a letter in all three! li'urthermore, he is continuing his fine record in sports this year. As a regular halfhack on the Football Team, Telay has developed into a splendid ball-carrier, blocker and punter. As a guard on the Basketball Team, he has shown that he possesses the ability to play a hard, fast game, and to .guard and shoot equally well. As catcher on the Base- ball Team, he is an excellent backstop and one of the best hitters on the team. However, do not get the idea that Telay is an athlete and nothing more. He is the kind of boy everyone likes to have around. His smiling face and that good old South Clina dialect will cheer you up even on Monday, It might also be mentioned that Hyde is Secretary of the Lee Society. NVe all feel that V. M. 1. is indeed fortunate in securing so talented a gentle- man as Frank Taylor Hyde. L.

Tin-: xiosr useful and enviable gift that any one in the world can have is the ability to make account books balance. Since he has this gift, Howard Jenkins is one of the most useful boys in School. I-Ie holds two very worrying and difficult positions: Business Manager of the lx'nfv.v and Tafvx and Business Manager of the Pint' Nvmilv. Jenkins not only did his work as Manager of the Annual, but also a great deal of work as an ad solicitor. In addition to managing the finances of the Rafts and Tufts and Pine Nerfilv successfully, he has been the Business Manager of the Dramatic Club and of the .S'r1'rr1n1 ! Truly this boy is marvelous! He is also the Treasurer of the Missionary Society. But while we have been telling about his success in business activities, we have neglected to mention his success in another line, that of tennis. For the past four years he has been one of the stars of St. Christopher's Tennis Team, and while he has been on it, it has had very successful seasons. But wait! More is coming. Besides managing nicely the hnances of five School organizations and being a successful tennis player, he has been honored by membership on the Student Honor Committee. VVhen we have said that, we have said all. After that we can only say that he will be a very valuable asset to any college that is so fortunate as to enroll him next fall. - if .oi-it it mini .1 initio, i f 1 - 1- f . ,fini mn 11 1 1 .,, W ,. ist- ii:.,i.i.i u. ,i V, .i,i,tirrz:.1i itll!!! vc .A.fw'- .1 ff' J.
