His Work for both school publications has proved indispensable. ln his capacity as Art liditor of lt'ufv.r uml Tnfnr he has contributed drawings of such value to the interest and appearance of this volume that his successors will find it dillicult or even impossible to equal them. Irving received the prize for the best still life at the Richmond Academy of Arts Tournament last year, and, no doubt, in the future, when he is a great artist, we shall all brag about the fact that he was a contributor to Nap.: and Tafnr and that we went to St. Christopher's with him. This year, he has been Assistant Editor of the Pine Ncerllv and his articles have l-UVC11 to that paper a much needed spice and a lively flavor. He has had an excellent scholastic record and, this june, among the limited number of full graduates, Irving will receive a diploma with a high average. l1Ve send him forth with no anxiety either for lrving's or the School's sake. for we lilltlw he will uphold the traditional good name of St. Christopher's at the University. I-le has been a respected member of our Senior Class, a fellow student with a quiet manner and a friendship greatly to be cherished. XVe wish him all the luck in the world and, for ourselves, need not try to find another to equal him. whose artistic and literary talent has been so generously employed. JOHN B.

' Tun COUNTENANCIQ which you see before you belongs to a boy who has been Pll 0l1Hl1 Cvcry form at St, Christopher's and who has been for many years a very Important participant in practically every School activity. liver since Jack started to School, hack in the days when the library was the Lower School Assembly Hall, he has always stood high in his classes and has always been a prominent representative of his class in all its undertakings. .l2iCk was one of the first boys in his class to be made a member of the Student Hllllflr Committee, and the fact that he received this honor when he was in the Slxth Form is strong evidence of his qualities of leadership. As an orator jack is unsurpassed, For the past two years he has' been a member of the Debating Team, and his forceful arguments have been of great value to that team. It is a real pleasure to hear him deliver a debate. lflis subject matter is always clear and concise, and his delivery powerful and convincing. The same spirit of aggressiveness which has won for Jack scholastic fa has also made him a une athlete. He has played on all the smaller football and baseball teams in the School, advancing and improving vear by year. Then he Smlflcllly Sprouted up, and in the fall of '31 St. Christopher's found its Football Team equipped with a giant center. This year' he was slufted to tackle, yet no lnatter where jack played he always played hard, clean football and proved lllmself to be a tower of strength in the line. 0 Bertie has suddeulv decided that he would like to go to Pfrmceton.,and ac- Cmflllltlly he is going to'take entrance exams for that institution.

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!
