And now comes Number X. This little book might well be called a milestone on the path of progress of St. Christopher's and of its printed record, the Annual. Accordingly, we dedicate our efforts not to any one person-however, not on account of a lack of suitable characters- but to the School and everything it represents. Likewise, we have fol- lowed no definite theme, but rather have attempted to give a true pic- ture of the life of the boys and their institution. In composing this edition, we have borrowed many ideas, have inaugurated a few novel ones, and have repeated a number of old ones, may our mixing of in- gredients be to your taste, and may these pages recall pleasant memories.

Corbly has been at St. Christopher's for only a little over a year and a half, but in this short time he has made no inconsiderable progress. He is hard-working, serious, and able, and with the help of these qualities he has achieved a good measure of success in every activity he has entered. In his studies he stands among the select few at the top of the Seventh Form, and in athletics, be- sides making his Iunior letter in football, he is manager of this year's Varsity Track Team. Furthermore, he has worked as a scrub or assistant manager on various other teams. lack is, as yet, undecided where he will pursue his studies next year, but wherever he goes, we may be sure success will attend him. If he enters West Point, we will all be proud to salute Captain Corbly of the U. S.

Once a freekled-faced, rather plump laddie, now the mas- ter actor, a distinct threat to the continued prosperity of the present actors of stage and screen! Rather a change? But whether or not St. Christopher's has done this for Wat, Wat has done much for St. Christophefs, not only in dramatics, but in athletic and literary ways as well. A member of the Varsity Football Squad for sev- eral years, his l80 pounds were used to distinct advantage this past fall, and he won the coveted monogram, while the same ability that has helped him on the stage, was of great use to Wat as a debater on the Literary Team. But whatever his other coups may have been, every one in the audience at this year's production of the St. Kit's Players will remember him for his masterful portrayal of Inspector Riley, derby, cigar, swaggering braggadocian air and all!

Since those long ago days he has in his unassuming man- ner advanced himself into a position of prominence in school life. Never rooting his own horn. Iack's work has been that of the unsung forgotten man, but in spite of the lack of publicity his ellorts have received, he has kept plugging away, always cheerful and lighthearted. As Business Manager of the Pine Needle and Manager of Basketball this year, he has done yeoman service, service that is only fully appreciated when there is no one to do it. Being rather small, lack has never taken an active part in any sport except the famous auld Scotch game, golf. But it is certainly a treat to see 'Klittle Flem trip lightly and gracefully across a dance floor! Such a dancer, such a dancer. Give 'em the same smile in the future, lack, and you'll get there!

Laughing, toiling, rejoicing, onward through life he goes. Yes, Ross laughs because it is better than frown- ing. Of course, there are some things that are not so pleasant as others, says the Cap'n, Mbut still, worrying about them never helped much. Yet in spite of his nearly perpetual grin he very often sees serious work cut out for him, and then still grinning he goes about it with a determination that seldom fails to gain his goal. For four years a regular outhelder on the baseball nine, he is undoubtedly one of the best outergardeners ever to seamper around on Fitzgerald Field. His size has been a handicap in other sports, but this year he was not to be denied and won his letter in football and basketball as well. ln four short years Ross's cheerfulness, wit, drive, and dash have earned him an enviable place in the hearts of all, schoolmates and teachers alike. 15 IJANIIZI.

Dan's long course ol' eight years at St. Christopher's School has been marked with many accomplishments and honors, probably the greatest ol these being on the athletic Held. In football for the past two years he has played regularly on the Saints' City Championship clevens and during that time has led the local preppers in seoringg surely he is one ol the best line plungers ever to tote the pigskin lor a Red and Gray ma- chine. In addition, Dan has played Varsity baseball for three years, and his pitching has pulled the team through many a tight spot. I-lis constant good humor and cheerfulness have made Grinnan extremely well-liked by all his acquaintances, and at Virginia next year, his ever-ready grin and win- ning ways are certain to make him popular with every- one he meets.

II' you should see a streak of blue pass you on the road and quickly vanish in the distance-that's Hobby in his V-8 roadster. Iiut he is equally as fast on the water. I-le has a speed boat ol' his own, and when he's not cutting through the waters ol' the upper Iames, he's probably competing lor top honors in a racing classic. Bobby is a boy ol' quiet nature and great modesty. At times we wish he did not possess these qualities to such a high degree, for it keeps tis from knowing him as inti- mately as we would. However, he is ever cheerful and amiable to all. Never is he without his winning smile, whether he is in the midst ol' one ol? Mr. Iiugg's trig tests, or tripping the light fantastic at the Club with Diana. And Bobby stands well toward the liront in his studies. livery now and then he'll run over to Europe for a few months during school, but he advances in his classes and makes the grade as easily as the brightest ol his class- mates. 16 EDWARD P.

Ed came to St. Christopher's several years ago from the high hills ol' West Virginia. Ainong the Saints he has proved himself a very good stuilent, standing near the top of all his classes. However, ly is not only a studious young man, but also an athlete.if'l'le made his letter in Iunior football last year, and this' season he joined the Varsity Grid Squad. As a substitute he acquitted him- selli well. and il' he had been only a little larger, he would have seen much more active service. For the past lexv springs, Mcllreery has been an active member ol' the Track Team: a miler, this year he' should become one ol' the track lettermen with little trouble. Everything that lid goes out lor, he puts all he has into, and because ol this quality ol' enterprise and determina- tion, he deserves much praise, and next year at the Uni- versity of Virginia he will continue to do good work, we are sure, in whatever he attempts. r l FRIZDIQRICK POTTS MOORE, ll Rliffl m Ullll, V fl'gl'I1l.lI-Tllffl uc' Year.: lm' .S'wi'i'lyg .llimimmry .S'm'i4'lv,' I Ii'u l1'u.r1'Iu1Il, 'lllg Junior l'ur.vil,v lfrmllvull, YU: l'ur.ril4v lfuffflwlll.

The charter mem- ber oli the Class ol' '35 has arrived! An even dozen years ago a seedy youngster from the wilds of the Iames River valley lirst came to this School to begin the long trek in pursuit ol' Minerva, goddess ol' wisdom and learning. And now, you see a man-a St. Christopher's made man, ready for college, the world, or whatever he wishes to do. But how has this amazing change been wrought, from rube to ruby? The answer is simple. Fred has entered into many activities, and while trying to help his team or group' he has helped himself. While not particularly interested in most types ol' sports, he has scrubbed on various lower teams besides holding down several INSID- agerial jobs, and this spring he was Manager of Varsity llasehall.

What has he not done, and not done well? Bril- liant, daring, and imaginative, his feats in his outboard racing boat, behind the wheel of his automobile, in the classroom, and in his laboratory have gained him well- earned fame. For who hasn't heard of Iimmy tearing along to new records on land and sea? What if the record on terra jirma is for putting the greatest number of cars out of comission? On the aqua he is outboard champion of this section of the country! And as for his ability as a student, his grades speak for themselves. But Mull, in addition, has found time to serve in different manage- rial capacities very capably, and also to become the best reader in the School. Doubtless even you, dear reader, have already perceived that here is not one of the com- mon clay, but a boy whose personality and brains are destined to take him far in this world.

And, strange to say, his rating as an athlete is fully as high as his 'reputation as a lover is notorious! Crow has excelled in three sports, football, basketball, and baseball, since he came here three years ago. I-lc climaxed his athletic career by being chosen Captain of this year's Baseball Team and All-City End on the Saint's championship eleven. He is also Vice-President of the Monogram Club and a Director ofthe Missionary Society. Ioe's never-ending cheerfulness and carefree manner have made him one of the best-liked boys in school. The fact that he has literary ability was evidenced by his ex- cellent recitation in a Literary Society meeting this year. May he take advantage of this ability at the University of Virginia next year and stand as high in his studies as we know he will in athletics! H '! 5 E ofooav-ara: '0'l'I4 IOIAIN l..

It is indeed diflicult to put into so small a space the many accomplishments and attributes of liugene Sydnor. liver since he entered St. Christopher's eleven years ago, he has stood out as a leader. Modest and unassuming. he is popular with everyone, and nobody is held in higher rcpute by his fellow students than he. Syd particularly excels in his studies. lt is a common sight to see him walk oil with an armful of prizes at every commencement. Nor does he have to toil to a great extent, but rather possesses a natural ability which never fails him. As strange as it may seem, Syd shines in athletics almost as brightly as in his classes. ln football, he is one of the best centers ever to don the Red and Gray. As Captain of the Tennis Team the last two years, he has contributed much to the success of our raeketeers. OO- CARTER E. TALMAN, Ia.

Scarcely a week had passed before one of the School wits--with :1 great number of whom we seem to be fortunately blessed -placed in front of this young man's cognomen a com- mon enough nickname. By this familiar title Pop has ever since been universally known, and we are perfectly willing to stack our Warner up against the great grid- iron expert of that name. Possessed of a dry humor and a frank and friendly nature he has become a favorite with us all. in baseball he has followed in the footsteps of his rural predecessors by always playing a stellar brand of ball. Hut in addition, his wit, pep, and color have been in no small manner responsible for the success of the team and the attendance at the games. And so, it is with genuine regret that we say farewell to Pop Warner, the pal of every one. f' . .. , . . l ur.rl'ly IFIIUIINIH, '35, 'J-1: l.lfl 'fU'3' IWW- 35- HHH 1'l1f1'P' Ilnlcr l.11ir'i'r.riIy. Three years ago the brothers Webster joined the ranks of this great Westhampton institution. Last year Preston left the fold with honors, and now after only one more year Chris is following in his brother's footsteps. This younger brother's keen mind and general scholastic ability have helped to gain him a prominent position in his classes, while his powerful physique and willingness to learn have combined to make him known as a he-man on the athletic field of battle. As a mem- ber of the staffs of both the School publications, he has done good work, particularly as Alumni Editor of the Pina' N eedle. But long after Webby's records are past history, his cheery smile and constant good nature will be remem- bered with pleasure by all with whom he has come in contact. His affability and humor have made him popu- lar with every one at St. Christopher's. Nw -vow-0 CARRINCTON WILLIAMS, llc. WILLIAM C.

Would that we all could go through life, unrullled and undisturbed by this and that minor disturbance. And probably this nonchalance and lack of worry is in no small manner responsible for the success Canky has already attained. While principally a lit- erary and scholastic figure in campus life, he loves ath- letics and has taken part in dillerent sports for years. As the number of sessions that he has been with us has in- creased, so have his honors increased, and 1935 has 'narked his gaining of high positions in all school activi- ties: to learn a few of these, ma chere, you have only to glance at the above list. Willie has shone particu- larly in a literary line, and it will be indeed hard to forget his splendid work with the pen and on the rostrum. '7 -..

He has worked hard on both the Varsity Football and Baseball Squads, although he did not make either team: however, but among the Charlot- tesville Cavaliers, Billy will probably continue to amaze all by his brainy feats.

Most of the things that can be said of one can be said of all, yet each group has its own individuality and typical characteristics, and the Class of '35 is no exception. In it we find boys of all types and interests, athletes and scholars, carefree lads and serious young men, heart breakers and women haters. But through them all runs a vein of good nature and humor, of course hidden down deeper in some than in others. Individually and collectively they are a likeable sort, easy to get along with, and alto- gether filled with the milk of human kindness. At times these supposedly grave and dignified Seniors may seem even a little childish, but when the time for serious and determined action comes, they are always ready to put forth their best efforts. just what they have done for St. Christopher's and themselves remains to be fully seen, and yet we may be assured the final record will be nothing to be ashamed of. Perhaps not the most outstanding Seventh Form the School has ever had, it has still been considerably above the average. As students there are very few, if any, classes that have ever surpassed them, their work at all times being uniformly good. As athletes these fellows have made records that bring honor not only to themselves but to their alma mater. Along extra-curricula lines notable achievements have been made. The Pine Needle, the School's biweekly journalistic venture, has been well- written and interesting, while the merits of Rap: and Taps are best judged by you, dear reader. The production of the Dramatic Club this winter was a knockout, probably the best ever staged by the St. Kit's Players, say unbiased observers who have seen them all. The student government system has functioned in an altogether satisfac- tory manner through its official instrument, the Student Honor Committee. Of course, the success or failure of these activities is not due entirely to the efforts of our hand- some Seniors, for juniors and Sophomores have taken part in them as well, but as is the case every year, it is the Class of '35-or whatever year you choose-that gets, and deserves, the praise or blame. To the Seventh Formers come all too short glory and fame-but soon to them will come the memories, mere sad memories, of their school days together Chow senti- mental we wax, but how close to the truthj. For many, St. Christopher's will form the first and last meeting ground. But now let us look into the crystal-clear Future fclear as mud, eh, Mr. Derieux?j and see where the different Seniors' ways seem to lead, for the next few years, at least. There is the largest group enjoying life at our own University of Virginia, while a few are marching, marching, marching on V. M. I.'s parade ground. As we move north we come upon one member of our great class learning how to direct the destinies of the nation's Navy at Annapolis. Still far- ther away from home are located several of the boys at the old Nassau abode of the Tiger, Princeton, and wandering up and down West Point's own Flirtation Walk, whom should we bump into but another Senior of '35. And this is only the beginning, for here at dear ol' Siwash is another of this year's Seventh Form and over there at the Missouri School of Mines is still another, hut wherever they may be, may these Seniors always be as happy and successful as they have been here among the Saints! 26 SIXTH FORM + Tina members of the large and distinguished Sixth Form are a very talented group. They have representatives in nearly every line of school endeavor, and with little effort, ' ' ' ' ' M f they seem to have made many outstanding and difficult accomplishments. ost o them started in the Primer Form of the Lower School and have come up the long ascent, grade by grade, to their present place in the sun. With this complete training, they should know the ropes by now, and we feel that they do, and that when the Class of '35 is graduated, it will leave its place of leadership in competent hands. In the ranks of the Class of '36 may be found some very good athletes. Several have got Varsity monograms already. Many have won letters on Iunior teams. They excel particularly in dramatics. As many as Five of them have received Dramatic Club pins, and one of these is President of the Dramatic Club. They are well represented on the stafifs of the Pine Needle and Rap: and Taps, and those publications promise I0 go well next year under their editing. Seven Iuniors are on the staff of the Pine Needle. Four of the eight boys in the finals of the Reading Contest were Sixth Formers. ' Time and space forbid further eulogy of their abilities and accomplishments, and We must stop even with the fear that we have damned with faint praise. Let their actions speak for them. We feel sure that under their leadership 1935-1956 will be a good year for St. Christopher's in scholastic and literary efforts, in athletics, in all School organizations-in fact, in every phase of School activity. FIFTH FORM + TliE FIFTH Form is small, but in spite of this handicap, is in no way backward. In its exclusive ranks there is some promising talent which in the next two years should . , . ' b prove of great value to St. Christopher s. Already several of its members are ecoming active in school life. Th's form contains some Fine athletes. Some of them starred on the Iuniors this 1 year and are expected to be excellent material for the Varsity next year. Scholastically, the form is well above average, and has in it some boys with great literary ability. It is re resented on the staff of Rap: and Taps, the staff of the Pine Needle, and the P Dramatic Club. It has among its members quite a few smoothies, who are known - ' P as heartbreakers, and it has an unusual number of wits J. We owe largely to members of this form the inauguration of something which should become an important institution in years to come-a School Orchestra. The orchestra was planned and begun almost entirely by Fifth Formers, and a malgmy . . I . f of the boys in the band are Sophomores. The School owes .1 lasting debt o gratitude to the fellows who were instrumental in getting together so valuable an organization, which, incidentally, has been needed for some time. The Sophomore Class has already shown its value in many ways. More will be ex ected of it next year, and we feel sure that it will live up to our expectations. We P know you can do it, Fifth Formers. See if you can't even surpass what is predicted for youl 27 N f :QQ r A A--s 1- Q 'Y 2, tit? 1 A X 5 V w' , 1 f 1 f gk, v A 4' 3 7' -A 'Tig ax? , - E., . :MX P t 1 L I Sl' nirv Q rn IAA l Q 'an X 1 iii?

Isn't it a grand collection of gentlemen and such a multitude of them! This is the Hrst class of such a type that St. Christopher's has ever sported, and probably it will be the lastg conse- quently, we acclaim it the one and only. All the members of this magnificent organization were graduated with honors in 1934, but instead of pursuing their studies at any institution of higher learning, this year they decided that they hadn't seen enough of their alma mater and returned to the school of their youth. Beyond question, the advanced work that the Post-Graduate course offers will enable those who took full advantage of it to enter any college or university far better prepared than a mere graduate of a prep school. This year these kids Qwe mean menj did not play the important role in the School's activities-except athletics-that they did in their Senior year, but remained in the background, giving this year's Seniors the beneHt of their experience only when it was sought. But in athletics it was a different story, for in this Held the Post-Graduates gave the Saints, opponents much cause for worry. Since the creation of a Ninth Form appears unlikely, it seems that these fine fellows will have to seek further education away from the scenes of their earlier triumphs. Iack Beattie feels that he has absorbed sufficient 'larnin' to make his mark in the world, but there is a slight chance that he will rejoin the majority of his former classmates at the dear ole University of Virginia. Both Gibson Harris and Iohn Knowles are planning to matriculate at Tigertown and become Princetonians. But wherever they may go or whatever they may do, this great and honored class of P. G.'s will be remembered as composed of true and loyal sons of St. Christopherfs, that ancient and venerable institution on the banks of the Tiber. 28 QRGANIZATIQNS JQTTNLQN Q49 QM MQQ29 mary 4, Y 0 .Q 7 5 0 .' . ff Q4 , ,.,. of ' f ' .D QIOQ ' I v 0' 5' TK A S I .Q 74 Al' Q QW Qi Y xy' 4 KK 5 1 .9 I I 1 I -1 , was ' K fO- get ,A- '1 Y .gn 4 ,II The Student Honor Committee 4 IOHN L.

Tun Missionary Society of St. Christopher's is the only School organization in which the primary object is to do good for others. Besides doing a world of good for others, it brings much satisfaction and enjoyment to its members with the realization that they have done so much noble work with the 151.50 which each member contributes. The speakers at the monthly meetings give the boys excellent views of the Church and its work in the mission- ary field. These talks show how worthy the work of this society is and how much it aids those who deserve our help. The Missionary Society gives all the money taken in to some church organization, or to some worthy but needy person or institution. The funds are collected from annual dues paid by each member, and from proceeds from various entertainments given throughout the year. This year a very interesting illustrated lecture was given for the benefit of the society by Mr. Dan McGowan, of Banff, Canada, on Life and Scenery in the Canadian Rockies. Also a check for 350.00 was generously donated by the Dramatic Club from the proceeds from the presentation of The Spider. This was greatly appreciated and helped to benefit many less fortunate than we. Due to the efforts of a few men, every boy in school this year was a member of the Missionary Society, and consequently more and better work was done. Besides contributing directly to certain institutions and organizations, the Missionary Society sponsored and supported various city-wide drives. Some of these drives carried 011 by the society in this school were: the Red Cross membership drive, the campaign for the sale of Anti-Tuberculosis seals, the Community Fund drive, and campaigns for the collection of toys, clothes. and other articles for the city's poor. It is the duty of the Board of Directors to take charge of these campaigns and to see that they are carried on successfully. All donations of the society are approved by the Direc- tors before they are made. Other duties of the Board are to get boys to come to the monthly meetings and to collect the money during the drives. The speakers for the monthly devotional meetings included such well-known men as the Rt. Rev. Frederick D. Goodwin, D. D., Bishop Co-Adjutor of the Diocese of Virginia, the Rev. George P. Mayo, Principal of the Blue Ridge Industrial Schoolg the Rev. Churchill I. Gibson, Rector of St. Iames' Episcopal Church, the Rev. Cary Montague, D.D., City Mis. sionary. By helping others, we help ourselves. 31 itl- q f TX -ff -45 1-Af r f, Q 'Y viQf ' Yvf Q A X 5 V I s' f I Il -1 4 it v-'A A 4- 7 7' . ..A , , wg' , Q 5, S h'6i5YMMiKZll?ZZiZl.lQmlM721 RAPS and TAPS STAFF + Co-Editors I.

The Spider gave employment to over forty, the greatest number that has ever taken part in one of our productions. The Red Cross Building of the University of Richmond, Where the actors strutted their stuff on the night of the eighth of February, was jammed to the balconies with an appreciative audience. The St. Kit's Orchestra fassembled especially for this momentous occasionj opened the evening's festivities with their own rendition of the School Song. Next we wit- nessed four vaudeville acts, three of which were composed of St. Catherine's girls in dance routines a la Astaire, and the other of a University of Richmond boy in an unusually good violin solo. The following skit was that of the Master Magician, who gave several mystifying and at the same time laugh-provoking examples of his magi- cal powers. - Out of the magician's act the real drama evolved, for as he mingled with the audi- ence in the performance of one of his tricks, premature darkness, occasioned by the extinguishing of the lights, descended upon the house, and a man in the audience was shot. The remainder of the play consisted of the efforts of Chartrand, the magician, and Inspector Riley, the police ofiicer in charge of the case, to solve the murder mys- tery. As is usually the case, suspicion fell first upon one person and then another, until in the end the murderer was forced to reveal his hand by a subtle bit of applied psychology. Added to the mystery element was a bit of comedy and a love interest. As a result The Spider had appeal for every one, whatever his or her taste. But enough of the story of The Spider , let us discuss in what manner our dra- matis personae put across their parts. The two starring roles, those of Chartrand and Inspector Riley, were acted exceedingly well by William Richardson and Wat Eller- son. The former had the more difficult part, but perhaps it only seemed thus since the character of Riley, the typical hard-boiled, know-it-all detective, might have been written especially for Ellerson and his inevitable derby. Henry Lee Staples, in his First performance on the stage, made an excellent ingenue, and the final clinch with its kiss showed that he isn't so innocent as we might otherwise suppose. Victor Vaughan, cast as a young society matron determined to return to her kiddies in spite of police orders, showed not only that he could portray a beautiful girl, but also that he had a real flair for comedy. There were so many minor characters that space is lacking to give any description of them, therefore, let it sufiice to say that each rose to the occasion nobly and showed efficacy in acting. The Orchestra, which entertained between acts, also is deserving of high praise, especially when we recall that this was its world's premiere. Of course, everyone recognizes the great indebtedness of the St. Kit's Players and the whole School to Mr. Loving, the founder and perennial director of our dramatic organization. A nationally-known playwright, Mr. Loving gives the productions a professional touch which makes them far superior to the usual run of prep-school performances. 37 Y N x Z Q :AW rr, L?

I-Io'I'cHKlss 4 IXGAIN this year St. Christopher's groaned Linder the weight of its inevitable literary societies, the Lee and the Iackson. These worthy organizations cause two and oc- casionally three separate emotions to arise in the human breast-i. e., grief in those who are to entertain, gladness and laughter in the rest of the School, and, at far inter- vals, rapt admiration in all the hearers for him who is before them. Most of us think how unfortunate is that boy whose name is read out by one of the energetic presi- dents, who, we all note, never put themselves upg but this assumption is entirely false, for whether we realize it or not, the fact remains that the very one at Whom we scoff is the one that gains experience which will stand him in good stead all his life. No one has ever seen a graduate of St. Christopher's, when called upon for an after-dinner speech, arise, blush, hem and haw, and finally come out with that classic beginning which marks its speaker as a perfect ignoramus, Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking . . . We can observe another good effect that our literary societies have in the excel- lent record of our literary teams. These teams have been uniformly successful in their annual meeting with V. E. S., and this success can be traced directly to the literary societies, for each boy that has shone against V. E. S. received his first plaudits right here in our Assembly Hall. We often think of the presidents of the two societies as merciless brutes who send us to the altar for slaughter, but really we ought to revise our opinions, for they are quite nice boys. They are only doing their best to gyp each other's eye-teeth for their particular society, but do l'l0t let our fair readers suppose that this doesn't cause them much trouble, for in reality they have to argue hours on end before-ftliey can present to us their programs.

Our 1955 squad was composed of seven boys: F. P. Moore, II, public speaker, Iames W. Mullen and Carrington Williams, Ir., readers, C. R. Webster and W. N. Richardson, III, affirmative debating teamg and H. W. Ellerson, Ir., and Eu- gene B. Sydnor, Ir., negative debating team. In this particular meet there were three events-public speaking, reading, and debating. The contest opened with the public speaking. Moore, of St. Christopher's, de- livered an excellent speech on Marse Robert, the Gallant Virginian, but George Bean, of V. E. S., spoke with a trifle more expression and force to wing his topic was Why We Should Not Pay the Bonus. In the prepared reading Mullen read a selection from The Last Days of Pompeiif' and Williams chose an excerpt from the Count of Monte Cristo. Goold, of V. E. S., read The Wrestler from Aleppof' and Robinson rendered a humorous selection entitled Correct Behavior on a Picnic extremely well. The sight reading was The Lady or the Tiger, by Stockton, this was well done by the St. Christopher readers, and this good extemporaneous reading enabled them to win by a 2-1 decision. The subject for the debate was Resolved: That Virginia Should Adopt a General Retail Sales Tax. Ellerson and Sydnor, representing St. Christopher's, upheld the negative side. Ellerson was indeed very good, delivering his argument with much force, expression, and composure, while Sydnor clinched the debate for St. Christopher's with an extremely good debate, though the decision was close and hard to render. At the close of the meet the judges announced that the public speaking was won by Bean, of V. E. S., the reading by St. Christopher's, and the debate by St. Chris- topher's.

No wonder they clean upf, Yes, this brings out very well the esteem in which everyone holds Coach and his ability. When he came to St. Christopher's a dozen years ago, he cast in his lot with a country school, small in size and low in athletic rating. A far cry from those bygone days is found now, when we see the School growing, progressing all the time and putting out teams in five sports, that meet the best in Virginia on equal footing. And the man who has had a great deal to do with this develop- ment is Mr. Brenaman, the moving spirit behind all athletic enterprises at St. Christopher's. His Red and Gray football and baseball squads, of which he has direct charge, have all been noted for a clean, hard fighting spirit, win or lose. His boys learn from him eagerly, they love and respect him, and in after years they remember him with affection. What greater success could a man wish for? 44 IIANKINS - GREEN - INIORGAN - DANVSON - DERIEUX - IMORTON - LANDRUIW COACHES + THE kind of coaching a boy receives is in a large measure responsible for his success or failure as an athlete. In view of the number of victories accounted for by St. Christopher's teams in recent years, we can truthfully say that we are fortunate in having a group of mentors who are far above average in their ability to produce winning combinations. In addition, every one of these men have instilled in their charges a certain spirit of sportsman- ship and of determination to win, for which Red and Gray representatives have come to be widely noted. Mr. Cooper Dawson again turned out good teams in his position of coach of Varsity Basketball and Iunior Baseball. Mr. Green's Iunior eleven was one of the best he has had in a number of seasons, while the Varsity Track Team, ot' which he also has charge, is looking forward to a line record. The Midget Football Team, Linder the able tutelage of Mr. Morgan has lost so few games ovei a long period of years that it is considered dis- graceful for them to drop more than one contest per season. Mr. Hankins and Mr. Derieux, while not having any particular squads of their own, have rendered valuable assistance to the head coaches of the smaller groups. This year the Varsity Football Team was lucky enough to have two former collegiate stars to show them a few tricks of the gridiron trade. Mr. Morton took over the backheld candidates during the regular fall season and during Spring practice as well, and Mr. Landrum schooled the linemen in March. The School and the grid squad, in particular, owe a debt of thanks to these gentlemen, who, although in no way oflicially connected with St. Christopher's, voluntarily gave their services.

Why, I got my monogram for football in '34. What kind of a team did you have that year, good, bad, or indifferent? We had a pretty fair team. Maybe you remem- ber . . . And a pretty fair team it was. Five victories, one tie, two defeats runs that inexorable, unchangeable foe of all alibis, the record. Here we should not forget that the boys won for the School its third consecutive City Championship, a feat never before accomplished by an entrant in the annual race. Benedictine, Thomas Ieffer- son, and McGuire,s were all trounced in more or less easy fashion, while Iohn Marshall, after having toted the ball hither and thither during most of a nice October afternoon, barely succeeded in tying up the score in the last five minutes of that game. So far the tale has been very pleasant, but last fall the Saints learned to take the bitter with the sweet. Episcopal High and Virginia Episcopal defeated them, but partial revenge was gained at the expense of St. Alban's and Hampden-Sydney Freshmen. These two losses, to foes that we were more interested in beating than any other opponents on the schedule, lowered the Red and Gray stock considerably in the State standing. However, disappointing as it is to I -XI l'. RA'I'l'I.II I I TAC KI.I-I o X SI.

'O-000000 During the season of 1933 the team play of the Saints stood out, while in '34 individualism was especially noticeable. The use of a large number of sub- stitutes was in no small way responsible for the lessening of the efficiency of this year's machine as a unit. Taking each player separately, there were just as many stars on this squad as on that of any former year. Yet for some reason they did not really click together until the last game. That winning punch and drive, that spark so striking in the '33 combination, was missing in the work of this edition of the Red and the Gray, however, the boys were in every game fighting from start to finish, and no mistake. At the beginning of the season there was hope that the forewall would be heavier than usual, but injuries to two regular linemen caused the line to be lighter than in several years for most of the climax games. The backfield, as was expected, was small but extremely fast and shifty once past the line of scrimmage. Individual brilliance at one time or another by almost every member of the team, was the highlight of this season. BENEDICTINE ON A very warm afternoon, late in September, the big Gray team opened its campaign with a 20-9 victory over Benedictine at the Richmond Stadium. The Cadets scored a safety and a touchdown early in the game as a result of blocking several of Knowles' punts. Soon afterward the Saints cut loose with a passing attack featuring Dinwiddie, Harris, and lack Beattie, who scored our First touchdown .Curtis Spencer followed this with a 35-yard dodging, twisting jaunt around end for a second tally just as the first quarter ended. The next period was taken up with defensive work by each team, but soon after the half the Westhampton eleven drove the ball down the Held to finish the scoring for the day. Briggs and Wilson played well for the Irish, the latter hitting our line for numerous gains and being chiefly responsible for our opponents having a nine-to-seven edge in first downs. St. Christopher's play was spotty during the gameg the offense lacked co-ordination and the defense was woefully weak at times. However, our aerial game functioned well, and the sustained drive for a touchdown in the third quarter showed that considerable power could be generated. 49 fi N f l' ggi' r, . f Q 1 .Qi Y Y V f X sk 'S x 4 wx5 :IVA 1 I at -abt ' vfx 4 .4- l L 4 .

Accordingly, it was two weeks after the Benedictine fracas that the Saints took the field again, this time against Thomas Iefierson. In the Hrst five minutes of play the big Gray team drove straight down the Field from its own 40-yard mark for a touchdown, Grinnan toting the pigskin over. After this spurt the Saints kept the ball in President territory for the rest of the half, but lacked the punch to score again. Russ Beattie was on the loose, and only Faircloth's kicking and occasional dashes by Lawless kept our boys from tallying again. Following the intermission the IeFfs were constantly on the de- fensive in-their own territory, but each time their goal was seriously threatened, they braced to stave olf our attack. At last a pass, Dinwiddie to lack Beattie, put the ball practically on the goal line, and Grinnan cracked it over for the second time. Almost the whole fourth quarter was taken up with the Teejays' attempts to get the ball out of their own end of the Held via the air and the ground. However, their efforts were futile, and the score at the end stood 14-0 for St. Christopher's. ST. ALBAN'S THE Saints played their first home game of the year against St. Alban's on October 19. The opening whistle found our second string opposing the Washingtonians. Ross Gibson and the rest of the pony backheld slashed down the field in an attack climaxed by Grinnan's going over for a touchdown. At the beginning of the second quarter the First team went into action but did not get far. In fact, the visiting team held the advantage in this period, and though there was no scoring, our opponents' passes were a continual source of worry. Shortly after the half-time, St. Alban's advanced the ball to our 20-yard strip. As the Gray line braced here, they were forced to throw several aerials, one of which Knowles grabbed out of the ozone, and with it under his arm sprinted eighty-five yards for a touchdown. A fumble on the ensuing kick-off again gave the ball to the Saints, who quickly carried it over the last white line, Russ Beattie running on the scoring play. Our subs played heads- up ball during the last quarter, and Talman tallied after Pinder and Gibson had made several nice runs. The final score was 25-0 for the host team, although the regulars had played poorly and scored only on breaks. Henderson and the visiting fullback turned in good games for our opponents. 50 GRINNAN HARRIS I-IOTCHKISS JOHNSON mick 'rAcKr.r-: BACK GUARD Len.: rlmrniug, a liuc l5yyir'.r all-round play .4 triple tlrrcatcr who Hoggy'.v drim: and :lv- cr'm'lain11, and Dan rc'u.r a nrcat asset- .rllnulll bc thc 'whole termination rffcrr' at all scorer again.

IOI-IN MARSHALL IN A game as full of Hukes and breaks as you will find anywhere, Iohn Marshall and St. Christopher's battled to a 6-6 deadlock at the Stadium before a thousand or more spec- tators. The Cadets placed a heavy and aggressive team on the field and played their best football of the year. The First quarter was taken up with a punting duel, the Red and Gray holding a slight edge. Early in the next period the downtown team took the ball deep in their own territory and attempted to run it. However, the pass from the Marshallite center sailed over their tail-back's head into the end zone where Sydnor recovered for a touch- down. Immediately after the rest the Iustices began bringing their full strength to bear on the center of our line. Time after time Buhrman from single and double wing back formations bucked through for substantial gains, and the ball stayed in our territory most of the last half with Iohn Marshall continually knocking at the goalden gate. Four or five times the Saints took the ball on downs within their ten-yard strip, but late in the fourth quarter the Gray team seemed to be coming back-they made their one and only first down- when Beattie after a nice gain made a freak fumble fthe ball never touched the groundj which Buhrman recovered and with which he proceeded to run forty yards to score. A fcw minutes later the contest ended. McLaughlin, Wright, and Hay made our offense look sick all afternoon, while Buhrman poured through the line as if it had been made of paper. The Gray ends, Bosher and Sydnor, and Drury at tackle, as well as Dinwiddic in the backhcld played nice defensive games. EPISCOPAL HIGH DAWNED November 3, and the team was off for the Holy Hill QI-lilly I-Iole, in the vernacu- larj of Episcopal High. Came the afternoon, and to the Saints their first defeat in seven- teen games. The first period found the Cherry and Black moving down the Held for two touchdowns on straight line bucks, Bryant, 205-pound plunger, scored each time after do- ing most of the damage in their sustained marches. Our boys had an excellent chance to break into scoring soon after Episcopal's first tally, but butter fingers on the part of our pass receivers within the 10-yard line snatched away our opportunity. In the second quar- ter the Gray team outplayed their opponents for all but one play on which Al Wilson, snappy signal barker, sifted 70 yards off tackle for a six-pointer. The Richmonders pene- trated the beefy E. H. S. defense to within five yards of the goal, only to be forced to give the ball up after several incomplete passes. The kick-off for the second half broke our SI til? 4 i N x A! nl' :iv l , A Q 'Y X 'Y 7 x wx 5 .' 1 1 I 1 r 'f vb, vfx p .3 S A 7' 4 ,- '1 Y. is v, xv' I fax I gif f .

Immediately afterwards the Saints drove deep into enemy territory and Dinwiddie scored on a beautiful 15-yard run. For the rest of the game the ball stayed in Episcopal's end of the Field the greater part of the time, but the Gray gridders lacked the power to score again. The E. H. S. backfield played outstanding ball and Dinwiddie's and Grinnan's offensive work was of a high order, but the defense of both teams was very ragged. While the score, 27-7, was rather one-sided, in total ground gained the two teams were just about even, and but for several bad breaks, the Saints would probably have made at least two more tallies. - I-IAMPDEN-SYDNEY FRESHMEN Naxr week the Saints took on Hampden-Sydney Freshmen at Fitzgerald Field. The game as a whole was slow and uninteresting, the brand of football not being of a very high order. The Saints were still in something of a daze, it seemed, from their defeat by Episcopal, and as they were not forced to put out to any extent, they simply loafed along most of the afternoon. The hrst quarter brought out almost no offensive work by either team, except for one long pass from Pinder to Knowles. Fumbles were frequent in the next chukker, but the home boys managed to hold on to the oval long enough once to advance it deep into Death Valley territory. Here an intercepted pass halted their invasion and the half came shortly afterward. During the rest period the boys must have got some much-needed sleep or something, for almost immediately they drove the Tiger kittens back against their goal line. Harris and Drury blocked several attempted punts, one of which rolled out of the end zone for a safety. Soon after they were again in pay dirt, but it remained for a flat pass, Dinwiddie to Spencer, to provide the scoring punch. The Frosh came right back with an aerial barrage of their own, which also scored, and the game ended, 8-6, in our favor. Kincaid and Richardson, backs, and Stone, a lineman, played well for the visitors, while Dinwiddie's and Pinder's passing gave the Saints their only potent offensive weapon. McGUlRE'S ST. CHfus'roPuEa's, 29, McGuire's, 0, ran the score at the end of this year's battle with our ancient rivals. This victory was noteworthy for at least two things, the team clinched its third consecutive city championship, and ran up the biggest score that one of our teams has ever made against the Macs. The first part of the game was marked by ragged play on the part of both contestants, but near the end of the initial quarter the Saints advanced the ball 52 RICHARDSON SPENCER SYDNOR WIEIISTER GUARD IIACK ciarwizn muxun .-I fast.

N to their opponent's 30-yard line, from where Dinwiddie hurled a beautiful pass to Russ Beattie for a touchdown. The Red and Gray had possession of the ball for almost the entire second period, mixing aerials with smashing runs to score I5 points. Drury started things off by blocking a punt for a safety. Spencer's pass to Knowles netted a six-pointer after the latter had shaken off several tacklers in his 15-yard goalward jaunt. Soon after, Din- widdie heaved into the end zone a long one, which Bosher recovered after it had been juggled by several Red and Black players. The intermission over, the Westhampton boys drove down into the shadow of the enemy goal, only to be stopped by inches. McGuire's then made its only offensive show of the day and took the ball into -our territory, aided largely by a fumbled punt. As the quarter ended, the Gray machine was again on the march, the last Saint touchdown of the year being scored on a nicely timed lateral, Grinnan to Spencer, in the closing minutes of the game. All the backs turned in good games, while Drury, Bosher, and Sydnor looked good in the line. , VIRGINIA EPISCOPAL FOURTEEN lettcrmen played their last football game for St. Christopher's as the team drop- ped a tough 7-0 decision to Virginia Episcopal School. Although handicapped by the loss of three regulars through injuries, the Red and Gray combine turned in its best game of the year. The first quarter was fairly even, until Drury broke through to block a Terrier kick, scoop the ball up, and race to their 6-yard line before being pulled down. There four straight plays gained only four yards, and the visitors immediately kicked out of danger. A series of passes put the ball in scoring territory just before the half ended, but here a fumble broke up our immediate opportunity. For the second time of the year the first play of a second half broke our hearts. Cooke of V. E. S. received Harris' kick-off and ran it back ten yards before being tackled by several Gray players. He-though every one but he and the umpire thought he was stopped--then proceeded to toss a short lateral in the flat to Williams, who raced eighty yards for the lone score of the afternoon. Disheartened to some extent by this break, the Saints never keyed their offensive up to the pitch it had reached earlier in the game and failed to threaten seriously the Bishops' goal. The Garnet team had us on the defensive most of the time but lacked the punch to tally again. For V. E. S. William's quick kicking, running, and passing were outstanding, while the play of Cooke. Baskerville, and Pierce was above average. Pinder and Grinnan did good jobs behind the line, but the defensive work of Drury and O'Neil was a joy to watch. 53 C N I Q -A' f A Q Q' X tv K al?

The record book shows nine losses and eight wins, but you have only to glance at the preceding page to see how many times our scores lacked but a point or two of surpassing our opponents! There is no denying the fact that this squad had great' potential strength, but for some reason Dame Fortune would give it nothing but frowns from early Ianuary to late February. The boys again used the Meanwell system of offense in all games except a few at the end of the season, while the guarding was done in man-for-man fashion, with the zone defense being tried occasionally. At times the passing was not up to par. but usually the Saints presented a very smooth-working live, everything turning out well but the shots, which time after time rolled around the rim of the basket, only invariably to drop outside. The public high schools seem to have given the team the most trouble this year, as only three games were dropped to private institutions. The Richmond city race produced probably the best brand of basketball in the State, and on account of the high calibre of the other entries, notably john Marshall and Bene- dictine, the Red and Gray was unable to break into the win column against local competition. However, the team fared much better against out-of-town opposition, and notable victories were scored over Virginia Episcopal fthird year in successionj and Woodberry Forest. But two points separated us from a win over Episcopal High, which, to put it mildly, we consider extremely lucky to have beaten us two seasons in a row by one-point margins. And so we find the record for basketball in 1935 not so bad as it might appear at First glance, and except for a number of bad breaks, it might have been very good. The squad assembled early in December, and rapidly gained a knowledge of the fundamentals. Accordingly, three contests of a practice nature were staged before the 55 iii.

Christchurch was walloped, 46-9, Westhampton High was taken in tow, 30-16, but the Alumni five almost pulled an upset by holding the Varsity to a one-point win the afternoon after the Monogram Club dance. With the vacation behind them, the Saints again took to the court at the annual University of Richmond Prep School Day, when they matched shots with Hargrave Military Academy. The Cadets were never in the running as Harris and Dinwiddie hit the hoop repeatedly, and the game ended in our favor, 57-20. Next Week came a poorly played fracas with Thomas Iefferson. The Red and Gray, though the favorite, was out-fought and out-smarted all the way, and went down to an ignominious 19-17 defeat. However, on their home hardwood the boys returned to their winning ways a few days later by easily defeating Woodherry Forest, 28-15. Beattie shone in lead- ing the scoring in this game. Iohn Marshall, next on the schedule, displayed a fine passing attack and sank enough of their shots to win, 23-15. Our quint had a case of nerves and missed numerous chances at the basket to throw away their chances for victory. The trip to Ashland also proved disastrous, as our hosts and their Pittsburgh style of offense proved too powerful for the Red and Gray, who lost by a score of 30- 21. The following week Benedictine's Irish, led by Patrick Goldstein, jumped into a 23-6 lead in the first half, and, though outscored by the Westhampton Eve after the intermission, they were well ahead at the end of the contest, 34-20. Exams intervened at this point, and little basketball was played around St. Chris- topherls for over a week. lt might have been just as well if our team had stayed off the hardwood a little longer, as the Big Green of Benedictine again took us into camp on our court to the tune of 49-18. The invaders were hot, sinking shots from every part of the court, but the home team merely helped matters by playing raggedly. The jinx that Thomas Ielferson seems to have over Red and Gray cagers resasserted itself a few days later, when the Presidents edged out a one-point win, 23-22. Ashland came to town on the next Tuesday afternoon and returned home that evening with St. Christopher's scalp, having defeated our team by a score of 25-22.

At Episcopal High the Saints lost a heartbreaker, 22-21. They held an early seven-point advantage, only to see their opponents come back and tally almost at will to gain a six-point lead by the half. The next period saw a lighting Richmond live outscore the Alexandrians, 9-4, but hard luck in the closing minutes prevented a Red and Gray victory. Al Wilson was outstanding against a St. Christopher's team for the second time this year, scoring fourteen points. In a night game on the Blue and White's court, our basketeers- were completely outclassed by a dazzlingly fast and skillful Iohn Marshall team. The stellar playing of Gibson was the only bright spot in our 37-19 trouncing. After stretching their losing streak to eight games in a row, the Saints finally decided to do something and pro- ceeded to win their last three battles. Virginia Episcopal was the first victim, as Harris and his cohorts went on a scoring spree to defeat the Bishops in their own gymnasium, 37-34. Pierce, of V. E. S., was high scorer for the day, but even he was unable to sur- pass the efforts of his guests. Woodberry fell before our attack for the second time this season when the team journeyed to Orange a few days afterward. The Saints held a comfortable edge at the intermission, but the fighting Tigers came back strong in the third quarter to acquire a brief lead. This advantage was quickly removed by the invaders, who ended the game out in front with the score at 26-23. To end the season, our cagers swamped Christchurch in a ragged contest, 36-9. 57 xii- S Af -Q, gg A L1 f- Q 'Y Q1 Y YV' 'K x N W V ' f 1 4 1 r ' C is i A 4- A ,Q 7' ,ws 0 X! , A x I 'frzj :AY ' A .

In the course of the season the team won the first City Championship in the annals of the School, and also defeated all its State prep school rivals that it played. The nine was com- posed of the most well-rounded and hardest playing group of players ever to form a St. Christopher Baseball Team. Three things account chiefly for the success of the 1934 team. These fac- tors are: Hrst, that practically every member of the team was an experienced veteran, and had been a member of the 1933 team, second, that the team was a harder hitting gang than we had had for many yearsg and last and most important, that the pitching staFf was far above the average, with Lawson, Grinnan, Hutch- inson, and Hotchkiss all hurling Hne ball. Co-operation and team work played a large part, too, in the success of the team. Much credit is due to the superb mound work of Norton Law- son, who established the best record ever made by any pitcher at St. Christopher's. Lawson pitched in fourteen games, win- ning ten and losing four. In ninety-four innings, Duck'l al- lowed only fifty-nine hits and struck out one hundred and seven- teen opposing batters. He also struck out seventeen batters in the first McGuire game, and during the season pitched a no- hit, no-run game to become the second St. Christopher hurler ever to accomplish this feat. The hitting of the l934 team was considerably above the av- erage and had a great deal to do with the team's winning. Old Four Eyes Pinder, who claims he can't see anything, adjusted his glasses to the right focus and became the big gun of the Saints' attack. Throughout the season he was batting about 500, and at the close of the year had an average of .409, topping all the other hitters in the city. The slugging of Pinder and sev- eral other players provided the much-needed scoring punch and vastly aided the team. 59 l'Al l'.

The 1934 season may be termed a highly successful one in view of the victories scored over our most important rivals. Out of the Hve games lost, two each were dropped to Petersburg High and the University of Richmond Freshmen. Both of these foes had ex- ceedingly powerful squads, and it was no disgrace to lose to them. ln the second game with McGuire's the Saints lost their only city game of the season, 1-0. The game was a pitchers' duel between Lawson and Greene, with the latter prevailing as the Macs won on a scratch hit. Opening the season, the Saints defeated Iohn Marshall, 5-0, in a rather loosely-played affair. The victory was the first ever registered by a St. Christopher Baseball Team over the Iustices. 'Lawson pitched excellent ball and allowed only one scratch hit. On April 10th the team won their second city game, defeating Thomas Iefferson, 5-1. lt was the Red and Gray's game throughout, with Warner and Pinder leading the hitting, each getting two hits out of three trips to the plate. Lawson, Grinnan, and Hotchkiss all pitched good ball. ' In the third game McGuire's bowed by 3-0 score to the St. Christopher nine. Although their play in the Held was rather poor, the Saints' batting was good enough to take the game. Lawson pitched superbly, striking out seventeen opposing batters and again allowing only one scratch single. The Richmond Freshmen gave the St. Christopher team the worst trouncing of the sea- son on April 19 at Richmond College. The Frosh pounded Lawson, Hutchinson, and Hotchkiss for fourteen hits, while our boys could get only two. The Final score was 12-1. Iourneying to Alexandria, the nine met the Episcopal High School Team. While our boys were playing errorless ball and hitting the apple all over the lot, the home team made five errors and got only three scratch hits. Play was stopped by rain early in the game, only to be resumed later and called after five innings because of a school rule govern- ing the time of contests. The score stood 12-0 in favor of our visiting victors. At Ashland a few days later the Saints defeated Ashland High, 8-0. Although the hosts got as many hits as our team, they were widely scattered and could not be converted into runs. The Saints took advantage of the breaks and of seven errors made by Ashland to score eight markers, while keeping their foes scoreless. 60 , 4-44 35 ' , f' ' , .,,,,:,:,. , I- ...,,,,, ' . -- fr, .N M- .

OTR On April 28 Petersburg defeated the St. Christopher nine, IO-5, on Fitzgerald Field to chalk up the second Red and Gray defeat of the year. Each team got ten hits, but Peters- burg bunched theirs to score more often than the home boys. In the fourth city game, Lawson bested Probst of Iohn Marshall, as the Saints took the Iustices, 4-1. Pinder and Lawson each got two hits for St. Christopher's, and Probst led the Iustices with two base knocks. At Petersburg on May 4 was played the most exciting game of the year. With the score 6-5 for Petersburg in the ninth inning, Pinder hit a triple and was chased home on Gibson's single to knot the count. In the fourteenth inning Petersburg finally pushed over a run to win, 7-6. Pinder and Warner led the Saints' attack with each getting four hits out of five trips to the plate. In a seven-inning game the Richmond Frosh walloped St. Christopher's, 13-l. The Freshmen smacked out Efteen hits, while they held our batters to three hingles. On May 10 the Saints' nine clinched the City Championship by shutting out Thomas lefferson, 4-0. Duck Lawson was at his peak and pitched a sparkling no-hit, no-run game. He struck out eleven of thirty-one opposing batters. Only four IefIs reached first base, and only one got to second. In a close game the Saints defeated a heads-up Woodberry team, 5-4, with the aid of timely hits by several of our batters. The Tigers scored one run in the second, third, and Fifth innings and were leading, 3-1, in the sixth when Grinnan smacked out a home run with two aboard to put the Saints ahead. Russ Beattie also hit a home run to score our Hrst run, while Hyde knocked in the winning run in the last inning with a timely single. Playing Iohn Marshall for the third time, the Saints emerged victorious by 2-1. This game was played for a benefit fund for Hyman, the Iustice backstop who broke his leg in the second game with St. Christopher's. On May 19 Virginia Episcopal bowed, 7-6, to our boys in a close and fast contest. Trail- ing 6-5 in the last inning, the Saints staged a rally, and with the bases filled, Lawson knocked out a single to drive in two runs and win the game. In the closing engagement of the season St. Christopher's dropped a close decision to McGuire's, l-0. The contest was a pitchers' duel between Lawson and Greene of McGuire's, and was the only city game the Saints lost during the year. 61 '11 N -4' 4-Q' r.- if Q N sv, , I' V Y xx I K 'S ' I 1 4 -1 4 A A Q ' 4.

CHRISTOI'HER,S, ZND 62 TRACK IN I934 + Tim 1934 Track Team was undoubtedly one of the best-balanced combinations ever to represent St. Christopher's in this sport. Although the team had no outstanding star, or stars, yet in every event there was at least one competitor of marked ability. For this reason, the Saint tracksters of '34 set no records, nor did they overwhelm any opponent hy a large score, l7Llf the team can truthfully be called successful. Two out of the three dual meets were won, and a creditable showing was made in the other three contests. In the first meet of the year, with Woodberry Forest, Fork Union, and Randolph- Macon Academy, the Saints placed third. In the triangular engagement with Vir- ginia Episcopal and McGuire's, St. Christopher's was again third, and following this lost to Iohn Marshall in a dual meet. However, the team rallied and won two in a row, one from McGuire's and the other from Glen Allen. Then, to wind up the sea- son, the Red and Gray tracksters placed second to Iohn Marshall in the City Meet, heating out both McGuire's and Thomas jefferson. Thus we may see that the Track Team of '54 was no world-beater, but its record is to be commended. To no small degree may the success of the team be attributed to Coach john Branch Green, who has coached St. Ghristopher's cinder teams for four years, and has done well in turning out good teams, even when there has been little material. And now for the individuals who composed the team. Captain Ratclilfe, who was greatly handicapped by injuries, competed in only three meets, but in them he ac- quitted himself creditably. To him, for his undaunted spirit and excellent leadership, St. Ghristopher's owes a debt of gratitude. Next, we commend Captain-Elect Curtis Spencer for his consistently excellent performances in the jumps and pole-vault. Out- standing also in the pole-vault was Ioe Cralle, as was john Woodward, who lilie- wise competed in the jumps. Among the other letter men were Peyton in the hurdles, Beattie in the sprints, Richardson in the 'K44O and the weights, and Long, manager and half-miler. These men, along with their teammates who failed to win the mono- gram, composed a well-balanced team, and since only two letter men have been lost by graduation, they should form a good nucleus for this year's combine. 63 Q xx Q :Q r , Af? f- an 'YQ s : 'K x 5 Nb Ziff 1 f 5 gl fl an I 5 CAPT.

TENNIS IN I934 + LAs'r year was marked by excellent records on the part of every representative of St. Christopher's, and so it would have been quite out of order if the tennis team had not done its share. Accordingly, the racketeers enfoyed a very good season, winning live matches, losing three, and tying two. Several trips were taken, and at one time or another all the boys displayed a good brand of tennis. To start things off, they tied the Medical College of Virginia in the middle of April, but then ran into their one and only definite slump, suffering defeats at the hands of Thomas Jefferson, 4-2, Virginia Freshmen, 6-1, and Woodberry Forest School, 6-0. At last drives started to nick thc lines and serves to sizzle, and the Saints won four contests in a row, trouncing the Teejays in a return match, 4-2, Christchurch, 7-0, Fork Union Military Academy, 4-3, and Woodberry Forest on the Country Club of Virginia courts, 5-1. Against Rich- mond Freshmen they slipped a bit and gained only a deadlock, 3-3. The last engage- ment of the year, with Iohn Marshall, was won handily by our netters, now nattily clad in shorts. Let us take a look at the would-be Tildens and Cochets who made up the team. Playing at the number one post most of the time, Captain Eugene Sydnor hit his stride late in the season, while Eggie Harris, the number two man, won more singles matches than any other player. Carter Talman played a steady, dependable game in his number three position. These veterans were the nucleus of the squad, but two newcomers to the ranks, Mac Parrish and Dick Carrington turned in some fine per- formances in their first interscholastic competition. All of last year's netmen have returned to School, and prospects for the '35 season, in which a much harder schedule will be played, are fair. 65 , Q QEEA if' SUI V Nigf, 4 M . 9. al f 1 I -Q I .af vtx T 4- 3 Q .ZA ..-3' up v yt 'ng MULLEN-FOOTBALL , Q .....,,....... ...... ..... . . .,, F--......

I - JUNIOR FOOTBALL ' IN I934 + THis year the St. Christopher Iunior Football Team won five out of its nine games. However, each of the four defeats suffered by the Iuniors were lost by only one touchdown, showing the fine lighting spirit that was the outstanding quality of this team, and Mr. Iohn Branch Green is to be commended on his '34 edition of Bulldogs. The Iuniors started off their season in line style by defeating West Avenue, 27-0. In this encounter the Iuniors showed that they had not been wasting time during practice, for they executed their plays remarkably well for the first game of the year. The Saints' first touchdown was made on a long pass from Kim Moran to Wightman. After this there was little trouble in chalking up the other three touchdowns against the smaller visiting eleven. In the next three games the Iunior Saints ran up against stiff opposition, los- ing to Boys' Home, 8-0, to Ginter Park, 7-0, and Benedictine Varsity Scrubs, 6-0. All of these games were hotly contested, and our team threatened their 'oppo- nents often by working the ball deep into enemy territory with nicely executed plays. These Hashes of brilliance were not enough, for under the shadows of the goal posts the Iuniors lacked the scoring punch. The Iuniors made a splendid comeback and won their next four frays. Knowles, playing inspired ball, scored both of the Saints' touchdowns in the game with Westhampton High School. This contest, in which the line proved their worth by opening up big holes to allow the backs to get into the open where they could use their running ability, was won by a score of 12-7. The Iunior eleven next defeated Sandston, 12-0. Outstanding in this game was Iulian Sanger, stalwart center, playing his second year for the Iuniors. Sanger continually broke through his opponents' line to throw the runner for losses of many yards, and Knowles and Moran starred in the backfield. The Bulldogs tripped the Ginter Park bcys, 12-0, and followed this with a 12-0 victory over Masonic Home. In these two games Iohn Wightman and Miller took the honors in the backfield while Ellet played a great game at tackle. In the Masonic Home game the Iuniors were able to win only after a brilliant spurt of power in the fourth period. In the last game of the season the Iunior machine tackled the Thomas Iefler- son eleven. The Teejays proved too powerful for the Saints, and the home team took a 7-0 licking. They were outplayed throughout the game, but managed to stave off the Ieffs until the last quarter. Andrew Christian played a good game at end. The following boys received their letters as members of the 1934 team: Andrew Christian, Slator Blackiston, Charlie Stringfellow, Robert Henley, ends, Henry Ellett, Warren Vaughan, William Funkhouser, tackles, Robert Trice, Catesby Iones, guards, Iulian Sanger, center, Irving Knowles, quarter- back, Crosby Mil'er, Robert Gwathmey, Iohn Wightman, halfbacks, and Kim Moran, fullback. Sanger and Wightman were co-captains of the '34 Iuniors. 68 6 MIDGET FOGTBALL IN -I934 + Tins year the Midgets had what can well be called a successful season, due to the fact that they won five games, tied two, and lost only one. With lighter material than usual, Mr. Morgan built up a fast hard fighting team with a smooth-running offense. Mr. Morgan's ability as a coach has never failed to develop a good Midget eleven, and his fine work shows up noticeably when his well-coached players arrive on the Varsity Squad. The Midgets started off their season with a game against Sauer's Garden, which was played at the Richmond Stadium between the halves of the Rich- mond-Roanoke game. The Saints had hard luck in that the unusually short game had to be stopped when they were in possession of the ball on their oppo- nents five-yard line, after a long run by Kippy Campbell. Thus, the result was a scoreless tie. The next encounter of the Red and Gray Midget Team was with Fork Union, the Saints gaining an easy victory by the score of 10-0. This game can not be passed without the mention of Beverley's fine line play. He showed unusual ability both on defense and offense, making many tackles and helping to clear the way for our touchdown. On November 6, the Midgets met and completely swamped the School's tra- ditional rivals, McGuire's, 20-0. This game was played at the Stadium for the benefit of the Sheltering Arms Hospital. The little Saints tallied their First touchdown after Campbell's interception of a Mac pass had put the ball in scoring position. Hill and Woodward starred with Frank Blanton proving him- self one of the best blocking backs Mr. Morgan has ever had. The Midgets' only defeat came at the hands of Sauer's Garden on Saturday, November 10. Playing at Thomas Iefferson Field for the benefit of the Retreat for the Sick Hospital in mud and rain, the two teams were handicapped by a slippery ball. Sauer's Garden scored in the third period, when one of their backs shook himself loose and sprinted fifty yards for a touchdown. Our boys lost, 6-0, and, although outplayed during most of the game, they put up a grand fight. On Monday, November 19, the Saints' battling Midgets nosed out a game with the Fork Union eleven by the score of 7-0. Frank Blanton carried the ball over for the only tally. Spessard and Parrish broke through the line several times and nailed the Fork Union ball carriers for losses. In their next game the Midgets defeated McGuire's for the second time, on this occasion 7-0. Billy Hill scored the touchdown in the beginning of the last quarter. Charlie Blanton was outstanding in the line, while Kippy Camp- bell gave his usual fine performance in the backfield. The youngsters ended their season in an attempt to get revenge for the bitter defeat by Sauer's Garden. In this return game both teams played a bang-up game, fighting to a 6-6 tie, which proved the most interesting contest of the year in this league, as the two combines displayed extraordinary teamwork and heads-up ball. Letters were awarded to the following boys: Beverley, W. W., Blanton, C., Blanton, F., Finlayson, Patton, Bemiss, Haw, Harrison, F ., Harrison, I., Camp- bell, Hill, Heindl, Iack Woodward, Williams, A., Iack Parrish, Iohns, Coleman, Spessard, and Macon Cmanagerj. Ned Campbell was the Captain. ' ' 69 . S in Q .56 r A A-x E - A ,. ali 5 'x .9 , I I f 1 r --4 A H Q 4- ZA Q wi- -L. -'F' IX?

It played a full schedule of fourteen games, emerging on the long end of the score in eleven of these contests. Of the three games that were lost, two were dropped to the same team, Boys' Home, and the other to Sacred Heart. This defeat was later revenged to the sweet tune of the willow meeting de apple. Their tilts with McGuire's gave promise of future varsity triumphs, for not less than thrice did our doughty Iuniors trample their rivals from Byrd Park into the dust. As for the team, it was almost entirely the Iunior team of '33 with a few reinforcements from the Midgets. Preston and Woodward were the hurlers, holding the opposing batters to a minimum of base hits. Wightman, the catcher, gave promise of developing into a good Varsity receiver with a couple of years of experience. The Iuniors had a smooth- working infield combination with Wyndham Blanton, Christian, and Knowles holding down the bags, while Sanger and Thalhimer worked the short-stop position. Stringfellow, Patterson, and Carrington Williams, until he had the misfortune to break his leg, patrolled the outer gardens. Iim Patterson was perhaps the best player on the team, having a perfect fielding average and a very high batting average. Again Mr. Dawson was the Iunior's coach, and again he showed his ability by getting the boys to play heads-up baseball. JUNIOR BASKETBALL + THE St. Christopher's Iunior basketeers of 1935 turned in a record that shows five victories and eight defeats. This record cannot be termed brilliant, but in spite of that fact the team showed much that could be placed in the category of basketball ability. When we stop to consider the worth of the Iunior's oppo- nents, we become much more reconciled to their season's record, for they went up against several teams entirely out of their class, teams that could have given our rather-down-trodden Varsity plenty of trouble. In a few years our Varsity team probably will be composed mainly of boys who this year played on the Iuniors. Among these we expect to see Reid, the captain of the Iuniors, Wight- man, Blanton, Knowles, Leary, Sanger, and Gresham. The Iuniors were ex- tremely fortunate in having Mr. Brenaman again as their coach, for he taught a fundamentally-sound game of basketball. MIDGET BASKETBALL + The Midgets had the best season of any St. Christopher's basketball team this winter, winning three and losing four. The record doesn't tell the true story of the season, for of the four games in which they were vanquished, they lost two by one point each, and they closed their season with a string of three straight victories. When the boys who were Midgets this year get to be on the Varsity, it is going to be just so much bad news for the Saints' opponents, for even now these boys show a team-play and a co-operative spirit far in advance of their years. Moore, Christian, Thalhimer, Blanton, Hill, Stringfellow, and Campbell were among those who exhibited especial promise. The Midgets, like the Iuniors, were under the able direction of Mr. Brenaman. 70 FEATURES Mwm -J mm W QE NEI W iff. say? .1 , ...xx 1. Y vu 1 ' I A I . '6 ..

It was the end of the year that was generally proclaimed the greatest all-around year that St. Christopher's has ever had. But, sad to relate, there was a mournful tinge to the celebrations, for after they were completed, no more could those erstwhile Seniors claim undergraduateship in the school where they had worked and played, won and lost. The last athletic event of the year was the annual Field Day, the Lower School meet being held May 27 with the Upper School events following on the next two days. In each of the classes, except the Senior, in the Upper School contest there was one boy who ran away with all the honors. Billy Hill won the Freshman Class, Irving Knowles the Sophomore, Billy Richardson the Iunior, Ross Gibson the Intermediate, and Curtis Spencer the Senior. There 76 was a real tussle in the last class, for Spencer and Russ Beattie came to the Hnal event practically even. Iack Beattie astonished the gathered multitudes by placing third in the mile run-only three boys entered! In view of St. Christopher's magnificent record for the year, our Alumni Association dug deep into their pockets and presented the Senior Class with a most swellelegant banquet. The feasting and speaking were carried out with great gusto in the School mess-hall -and what a mess those boys made of the dinner! The alumni said that the great record of the School was due to the boys and Mr. Brenamang Coach disclaimed credit, saying that with the ma- terial and the alumni support, any one could put out good teams, and the boys made it a round-robin of praise by stating that Coach was the best mentor in the State and that they could ask for no better backing than that the alumni gave them. The year 1934 witnessed the setting of a new precedent, that of having our Final Dances in our own gymnasium. Accordingly, on the nights of Iune 5 and 6 the local social buds with their escorts tripped the light fantastic to the not-so- lilting tunes of Ted Loman and his orchestra. This band, supposedly straight from the Chamberlayne-Vanderbilt Hotel, proved to be a collection of the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker. But in spite of the music's poor quality, the dances were quite enjoyable. The Lower School Commencement on Iune 7 was notable on account of the absence of Miss Bouldin, who had retired only the preceding year. However, the exercises were carried off smoothly by Mrs. Bugg and Mrs. Morgan. Upon the following day came the occasion which the Senior had been awaiting for a long time, the Upper School Commencement of 1934. Although Dr. Chamber- layne had been confined to his bed, he came to the commencement to bid a fond farewell to his boys. Except for the boys concerned, this commencement was no different from any other, for now we come expecting to see Staples and Horse Power Young staggering under the weight of their prizes, and not yet have we been disappointed. The ceremonies were brought to an end with the Valedictory by T. P. Webster, who bid his school farewell but not good-bye. 77 - N 1 I iii in lf' 4-Q' fe- A 1 A-x f Q 1 'x ii Xl? a N' Bs Ls, K Q 4- l ai A YY m Y v,yv , 4 4 'PK x f Q gg? r A f' Q V Y Y T f 4 xx -x WX 5 , I I 1 1 r -1 ' 4, ' K ,A i Q A 7' 4 ,l Qi v, XV!

THE SCHGOL LEADER + ABOUT three weeks after the opening of the session the school body elected a member of the Fifth Form to be its Leader. This position carries with it the great- est honour which the School has to give. The boy who is elected is the one in whom the other boys put their trust and in whom they depend for leadership. This year the Leader is Laurence Mauck, with William Gatewood for the First Assistant and Horace Hawes Harrison for the Second Assistant. Fairness, good sportsmanship, courtesy, and honour have prevailed in the School this year, and a large part of this spirit can be attributed to the boys who were given and who accepted seriously the positions of leaders. 99 v X I l :QQ I , A-'A f Q 'Y X 7' . iii?

This year the boys have made an effort to con- tribute money which they have earned themselves. These contributions go this year, as they have in the past, for the support of a boy at Mr. Mayo's Industrial School, and to other worthy causes in Richmond. The members were very much pleased by an address from Dr. Mayo, who, together with Mrs. Mayo, came to the School during the winter term. A short meeting is held every Thursday morning immediately after morn- ing prayer. This service is conducted by the officers of the Society, and at it the weekly contribution is received. The officers for 1934-35 have proved entirely conscientious and dependable. They are: B. B. Carter, President, I. D. Carneal, Vice-President, and W. P. Thurston, Secretary. + LITERARY SOCIETIES IN THE belief that the ability to read and speak agreeably before an audience is a fundamental part of education, the Lower School begins in the First Form to train the boys in this direction. This is accomplished through the Iunior Lee and Iunior Iackson Literary Societies. A meeting is held every month, and alter- nate meetings are open to visitors. Not a small part of the zeal of the partici- pants in polishing their rhetoric and modulating their tones of expression, is to be attributed to the interest which is shown by the parents and friends at the open meetings. The officers elected by the Iacksons were: H. P. Parrish, President, E. S. DesPortes, Vice-President, and M. T. H. Williams, Secretary. The officers chosen by the Lees 'werez I. A. Fleming, President, I. F. Reed, Vice-President, and W. A. Parrish, Secretary. These boys have performed their duties with earnestness, presided with dig- nity, and in every way carried on the traditions of the Iunior Literary Societies.

They like St. Christopher's and take as active a part in school affairs as do the forty-six old boys. VVe have had a very successful and enjoyable year under the direction of our new principal, Miss Henderson. We have missed Mrs. Weaver very much, but are glad to have so capable a person as Miss Leary to take her place as teacher of the First Form. The teachers of the Second, Third, and-Fourth Forms are Mrs. Carson, Mrs. Bugg, and Mrs. Morgan, respectively, Mrs. Derieux and Miss Cowles teach art and music. Election day was most exciting with Mauck elected Leaderg Gatewood, First Assistant, and Harrison, Second Assistant. The officers of the Iunior Mission- ary Society were: B. B. Carter, President, Carneal, Vice-President, and Thurs- ton, Secretary. The Iunior Lee Literary Society selected Fleming, W. A. Par- rish, and Reed for their officers. For the Iunior Iackson Society H. P. Parrish, DesPortes, and Williams were chosen. , Instead of a Christmas Pageant we gave the play, Why the Chimes Rang, in which the leading parts were taken by Carneal, Mauck, Harrison, Reed. Thurston, Williams, Fleming, B. B. Carter, and Gatewood. It was very beautiful and impressive. Miss Cowles's Lower School orchestras have been a great success. This year's Musicale was one of the most interesting we ever had, for the boys played all sorts of instruments, such as drums, cymbals, xylophones, triangles, and Chinese wood-blocks, in a masterly fashion. The Acorn is a magazine published very two months which contains orig' inal stories, poems, and other compositions written by boys from all forms. It is very entertaining and each boy works hard to have his work accepted. At the end of the year the compositions are judged and a prize awarded for the best one. just before the end of the school year the Fifth Form has a contest in sigh' reading, prepared reading, and declamation. Prizes are gzven to the successful winners. This always arouses a great deal of interest. We have a new athletic instructor, Mr. Vial, who has organized Lowe? School basketball teams for the first time. At the end of the year, our art exhibit, which is held in the gymnasium, draws a large crowd. Here are displayed all types of the interesting work done by the classes under Mrs. Derieux's supervision. Commencement is the most exciting day for everybody. Prizes are issued and received and forms are promoted. But there is some sadness, too, because the Fifth Form, although eager to be received into the Upper School by Dr. Cham- berlayne, is likewise reluctant to leave the Lower School with its pleasant ns- sociations. Best wishes to Rap: and Tap: and the Upper School. I H. H. HARRISON. I O2 Q40 LOWER SCHOOL ATHLETICS + IN 1934-35 stock in Lower School athletics soared to an unprecedented high. Starting almost from scratch, Coach Vial has molded from the material on hand teams worthy of St. Christopher's in football, basketball, and baseball. Before this year athletics in the Lower School was a series of unorganized nt- tempts to provide exercise for small boys. With the advent of Coach Vial, how- ever, the old order has been changed, true organization has been applied, and well-coached teams have resulted. In football, the team was organized quickly, and a nine-game schedule was undertaken, many contests being with the Fleas of the Upper School. Out of these nine games, the Saintlets succeeded in winning three, tying three, and losing three. Captain Chief Parrish led his stalwarts in an able manner, and to him goes the commendation of the School. Also deserving of praise are Monk Beattie, B. N. Carter, W. I. Parrish, Collins, and Mauck. Basketball, which was attempted in the Lower School this year for the First time, was, in view of the circumstances, a success. Most of the boys had never played any basketball at all before, and necessarily progress was slow. But the team improved, and succeeded in beating William Byrd, the other four games on the schedule being lost to opponents of such calibre as the Boys' Club and Fork Union. Captain Beattie and Mauck were the stars on the team. Besides Beattie and Mauck, the following made their letters: I. Moore, Chief Parrish, Collins, and Cardozo. Baseball, at the time this publication goes to press, is being undertaken seri- ously. As yet the schedule of games is uncertain, but a team in this sport is sure. 103 Q 1 N I l ggi r , A A fs all vt Y iii i A s 9,1 , I I I 1 I -4 A -ri 'Q , l- YI '0' A1 , . im ,Q AW if ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -4 Y qi 7 A + 1 A ,- Q Now that you have seen the worst, we feel that we should tell you that we are N ' the ones to blame.

The earlier in life you buy life insurance, the more you can obtain for the same annual deposit. The wise young man starts his insurance program early and builds it up as the years go on. Ask your father to tell you what his insur- ance program means to him and proht from his guidance. When it comes to buying life insurance remember that Atlantic Life, a home company, from its many and varied policies, can give you exactly the type of contract best suited to your needs-and at a cost you can afford to pay. A repre- sentative of this Company will be glad to talk with you at any time about your plans-this service places you under no obligation.
