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. The Editors.

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!
