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.

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.

WHY sHoln.n a boy with such a jovial exterior, with such pereseverance and fortitude, not to mention such a promising name, be so retiring? Ah! The un- answerable riddle. However, B. R. NV. Marshall, lll, the boy whose intials and numeral look like an algebra problem, has al.ways held himself in the back- ground and ever refuses to lift his voice above a murmur. It may be that he appreciates, and is benefiting hy, the truth that quiet people who listen to other people's troubles generally have a great many friends. He does have many friends, and let us assume that these bashful tactics of his are really intentional and wisely planned in our subject's subtle mind. We need not explain our first statement: that B, R. is of a jovial exterior. The above picture is self-explanatory. Yet the reference to perseverance and fortitude deserves further comment. VVho can deny that these two virtues have been demonstrated by Marshall in both football and track, probably the two most strenuous sports in School? VVe still remember the astounding pertinacity with which Beverley ran the mile for us in several meets two years ago. Then, too, it was with this same determination that he plugged away at football with amazing improvement: starting in 1931, an absolute greenhorn, finishing in 1932, having played in some games. ' Marshall is cheerful, and saying this is saying enough for any one's praise, for we certainly are in desperate need of cheerful people. Let ns conclude with this little prophecy: we know that he will make friends in the world, not in spite of, but by virtue of, his retiring nature, just as he has done here at St. C. PHILIP M.

MANY vicmzs Aoo, in the dark ages of the past, a very small boy entered the por- tals of our grand old institution of knowledge and began his long trek through the forms of the Lower and Upper Schools, filled with many hours of hard work and many hours of unforgetable pleasures. This year he emerges from these gates of learning and goes to V. M. T., where we know he will be highly successful. Phil Minor leaves behind him a place that will be hard to fill and a kind of emptiness in the affections of us who know him intimately. The characteristic that is outstanding in Phil, the characteristic that has won for him so many honors, is perseverance. Once he starts a job, Phil is sure to stick to it until he completes it. This same bulldog determination was shown on the athletic field. Phil was a regular on the Football Team, and in spite of a severe weight disadvantage measured up to the high standard of play of the others on the team. Although Minor's best sport was football, he went out for the other teams and did his best to make them as successful as pos- sible, He is a student well above the average, excelling in mathematics, and has an earnest, logical thinking mind. Phil has attained the highest honor to which a boy in St. Christophe-r's School can aspire in his election to the Student Honor Committee. He is Busi- ness Manager of Rafts and Tufts, and need we mention the difficulty and responsi- hility of such a position in these times of tight-fisted advertisers and penny- pinching subscribers? We all hate to do it, but the time has come: so we regretfully say a fond fare- well to Phil Minor, a typical St. Christopher's boy. illllffllllllllllllWill!lllllfllllillllillliillllllllllllllllllllll'likllll'llIlllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllwillllllllll!
