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.

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.

Thus it is that the students of St. Shr'1stopber's gaze with both pride and envy on the immaculate appearance of xylllyn and pray to the gods that some day they will walk in tailored clothes lljlclst the lofty pines of St. Christopher's and hear the'muflled words of admira- UOII that come from the common herd, This is enough of such foolislmess, for no tailor-made man ever Came from Powhatan County! Let us see Willy as he really is. What has he done during his hve years in the dungeon ? Reach for a l'1'm' Needle, glance over the Mirth Lolumn, and shake your sides with laughter, for Willy, Mirth Editor of our great bi-monthly, is really the essence of mirth. On some bright, spring day come out onithe athletic field and watch him bound around the track like a jack rabbit, smashing track records right and left. judge for yourself, but it really matters 1101 what you decide concerning XVilly, for his friends have already rendered Jllfll-Zlnent that he is a peach of a fellow. Ile is a friend of the great and of the lowly, is sought after for his pleasant company, and is a charter member of that palace of good will and blissfulness, the Smoking Room, There is no affectation to .Willy. lle is genuine, frank, and straightforward, and we all admire him for lt. 'VVhen he has gone down llenri Street in ye olde Shevylay for the last time, W0 FC not going to forget a good friend. See ya, XVilly. J.

DUKE or Gl.ol'cHs'rr1lz, lady-killer, heart-breaker Lewis! Ile is the terror of Gloucester County. From the amount of mail he receives daily one would think he had a harem down there in the swamp. However, Marshall is not just a smoothy 3 he is all right and can present the best evidence in the world to that effect: he has many friends. A happy nature and a countenance to match attract us all, and we succumb, just as do the ladies. N It is rare that a boy enters St. C. and makes an early impression upon the School life. This boy enrolled in September and immediately concentrated his efforts upon football. He was one of the unsung scrubs, who bore the brunt 05,5110 game, and as such deserves much credit. Football over. he joined the St. Kit s players and in fl C1l!ll'0t'l!'l' llzlrndrs proved himself worthy of the major role assigned him. His performance was excellent and won for him membership IT the Dramatic Club. NVith spring, he took up tennis and worked earnestly in t ie afternoons with thc other candidates for the Tennis Squad. yVe think it a pity that this friendly, active boy should leave .the School after graclllti its campus for only one year. VVe send him forth unwillingly, yet with Rm' l19St wishes and with assurance that he will make the School proud of having tjliglgh as a student, if only for a year.
