For a quarter of a century St. Christo- pher's has prepared boys for college and after life, as it will continue to do for many years to come. It has built up the highest ideals and standards of living in all who have spent a part of their boyhood midst the towering pines and rambling white buildings, which impart such a pleasant atmosphere of solitude and peace. St. Christopher's twenty-five years seem few when com- pared with the age of other preparatory schools in the state, but, when we consider how St. Christopher's has grown from a little house on Grove Avenue to a school of many buildings and spacious grounds, we cannot help but feel proud. Not only has St. Christopher's increased in size, but also it has gained an equal footing scholasti- cally and athletically with the older preparatory schools of the state. We have chosen athletics for the theme of this eleventh volume of RAPS AND TAPS. St. Christopher's athletic record over the past four years has been outstanding, and it seems quite fitting that we should use the theme of this annual as a means of establishing a monument that will ever recall this peak in our athletic history, and that will ever recall the man who is most responsible for it-Coach Hugh C. Brenaman. i. .vm D E D I C A T I O N In recognition of her years of unselfish devotion spent in the further- ance of the tradition and ideals of St. Christopher's School, and in grati- tude for her untiring efforts in behalf of the boys, we, the Editors humbly dedicate this eleventh edition of RAPS AND TAPS to mln Jmdeffe Cyuffiama aezfaon 5, N. .1 ll . x 1' f' ' ??r1Xl ,J J Y , . , 5 Y--ff 4 f --'- ',......- ix c ' ,,,....i- , X gi Qi 1 DR .

Why yes, answers Mr. X, Slator C. Blackiston lived there as a youth. And above, you see Slator as a youth- a member of the graduating class. During the years that Slator has trod upon the pine tags of St. Christopher's well-worn paths, he has been a conscientious, lIard worker, standing near the top of the roll containing the names of those who have shown themselves to bc good scholars while at St. Christopher's. Although not gifted with the weight aIId brawn of some of his classmates, Slator is plucky aIId courageous in his endeavor. Ilis grit and spirit on the football field have been particularly outstanding, and even though he did not make the varsity football team, he was a lineman who never stopped hghting. Now if you should ever go into the dining hall of St. Christopher's School during slipper time and find the boys at Mr. Derienx's table laughing themselves to death, you would know that Slator has pulled another rib-tickling bit of nonsense. Modest, frank, with an extremely pleasant sense of humor, Slator is liked by everyone, and the School will miss him sorely when he leaves for Princeton next year.

This smiling and ungainly youth, wlIo appears to have shot up like a tall pine, is also known to his intimates as Shorty, But don't for a minute believe that all of John's time is devoted to growing, for he has other accomplislnnents than being able to tower over his fellows. During his loIIg stay at St. Christopher's he has proven himself a hard worker, hnishing what he sets out to do with steadiness and assurance. His cheerfulness and ready wit are his outstanding characteristics: he always has an encouraging word or a joke for everyone. In sports John was hindered rather than helped by his build, but in football he showed up creditably in the john Marshall game. In basketball, however, John found his ideal, and he did fine work at center last season. One of tlIe honors bestowed on him was his election as President of the Missionary Society, and he has carried out his duties faithfully and well. John also has turned his hand to acting, and appeared in a St. Kit's production. VVherever he may go to college, we know John will do his best, and our heartiest wishes go with him.

Bosher first crossed tlIe threshold of St. ChristoplIer's School. Since that time, modest and unassuming, lIe has won a well-deserved IIiclIe in St. ClIristopher's Hall of Admiration. Cheerful smil- ing, l'l0l'lCl1EllIlI1t, lIe has become oIIe of tlIe leading men iII the SCl100l. He lIas SlIOXVlI himself a scholar. itll athlete, and a gentleman. There has probably never lJCClI a boy in this School IIIore generally well-liked. Intelligence, combined with a will to work, have always kept Ben at the head of his class. Proininent in sclIool activities, lIe holds ZIII important position on the staff of tlIe Pine Nr'r'rI'lI', is a member of tlIe Student IIOIIOI' Com- mittee, has been for tlIe past year President of the l.ee Literary Society, and is co-editor of this year's Rafi.: and Tafnv. III sports, Ben lIas nIade varsity letters iII football, basketball, Zlllll baseball. Ilis grit Zlllfl courage have many times stood St. ClIristopher's iII good stead. None of us will forget the excellent job he did as quarterback last season. Ben's record at St. Christopher's should be a thing for all to aspire to. He leaves us now to go to new fields and new triumphs. XVe'll miss him. RICHARD W. CARRINGTON, Ju.

It is true that Luke is good natured and fun loving. Those are two ex- cellent characteristics. However, Luke is no playboy. He is just the opposite. Always a leader in athletics and school life, Luke has won his honors here by merit alone. Luke came to us five years ago last fall. He was natural- ly shy aIId was rather lost in the large third form of that year. As time passed and as he came to know the School, he blossomed out. III two years he won a position on the football team, and last fall he was elected captain, and also was given a berth on the All-State Prep team. However, Luke did not confine himself to football. I-le was a regular oII this year's basketball team, aIId last spring made his let- ter in track. Besides these athletic accomplishments, Luke is chairman of the Honor Committee. In spite of these many honors, he still remains the quiet, friendly boy we have always liked. Rumor hath it that Luke will come back next year for some extra work. The School hopes sog it needs all the boys like Luke it can get. l CHARLES HENRY GRESHAM TAPPAI-IANNOCK, VIRGINIA 3 YEARS l.r1' l.i!rrnry Suri1'ly.'

His constantly sunny disposition has made him universally popular. Hen possesses that much-to-he-desired clllflllty of wholeheartedness. When he goes into something, he gives it everything he has-oIIe reason he does things well. Although he is of somewhat slender build, he plays foot- ball, basketball, and baseball. He excels particularly in basketball, his deadly accuracy as a forward adding many points to the Saints' scoring column. He has been the bright spot iII many an otherwise dark game. He got honorable mention iII the Basketball Carnival held at the University of Richmond. He is a speedy pass-snagging end on the gridiron and a hard-hitting outbclder on the diamond. We might go into a lengthy and elaborate eulogy of Hen's abilities aIId accomplishments, but our space is limited, and furthermore we do not think it necessary. We'll simply say that Hen is a swell guy.

This, my friends, is the page you have been looking for. Stop a moment and study that handsome countenance. Two years ago this rollicking amoroso came out of the back- woods of llanover County unknown and unheralded, but he immediately took Richmond, VVesthampton, and St. t'hristopher's by storm. Venit, vidit, vicit -V-he came, he saw, he conquered. A liluebeard, indeed, he is reported to be. But let us not dwell too much on this phase of his talents. He cannot help being attractive and handsome: it is the misfortune of some people. He is known as playful 'Dick' fiwatlnncyf' A day would not be complete without a punch in the ribs from lJiek. Yet in his serious moments he goes about things with a determined look in his eye. For instance, when he has a football uniform on and a hall in his hands and sets out around end, there are few who can lay a finger on him. During the baseball season, he holds down the initial sack. So, you see, R. Gwatluuey is quite a remarkable fellow and his successes run in varied lines. May he continue them elsewhere! l l i l l i JAMES PATTERSON HANCOCK 1uc1f1MoNo, VIRGINIA V 2M YEARS Jm'h.rm1 Sorirlyg 1lIi.v.vinuarx' Society: Varsity Football, '34, '35g Travk Team, '34, '35, '36g Monogram Clulv, '35, 36. ln the spring of 1934 James Patterson Hancock came to St. Christopher's School for the first time. Jimmy picked a tough time to tackle the School, but he did well. His friendliness and pleasing way soon gained him many congenial friends. jimmy early took an active part in school life. No sooner had he gotten here then he went out for track. He worked hard that spring, and the next year he won his letter for running the half-mile. NVC all think we know Jimmy well. We think of him as just a calm, cheerful boy who spends most of his time working and playing in the usual manner. We tl1ink this for a time, and then we see something deeper and finer lies beneath. He is a very pleasing character with much depth, as we find when we probe neath the veneer of usualness with which he cloaks himself. Those few who have not learned to know him well have really missed knowing a very interesting person. VVe are heartily sorry that Jimmy did not come to us sooner. The longer we have boys like him in school, the better off we are. ROBERT EDWARD HENLEY, Jn.

Bob is proficient in all his work aIId applies himself readily. Chosen to represent St. Christo- pher's in tlIe Caesar division of the State Latin Contest, Henley hrouglit great KllStillCti0ll to the School hy taking first prize iII his division. He overcomes difliculties as if tlIey l1lllClCl'Cfi lIim not at all, lllld performs extremely hard tasks with such efli- ciency as to make them seem light and easy. Standing oIIt ahove all of llenley's many virtues is lIis friendliness. His willingness to help others aIId to enter lllt0 tlIe spirit of things have gained lIiIn many friends. Hclllcy is not one that could he called a natural-horn athlete, hut he did his part iII participating ill tlIe School's various athletic events and ill givin tlIe teams his support.

In the fall of 1033 Nelson Smith entered the pine woods of St. Christopher's School. For a time he hid modestly behind his glasses, giving the impression that he was a re- tiring, timid soul. This did not last long. The School' soon took notice of him and found him to be a very enjoyable citizen: quiet, it is true, but pleasingly witty, a scholar though not a bookworm. Nelson has always been a bril- liant student, but he has not conhned himself to his studies. llc has given his services freely to the School as a writer for Irnfvs mm' Tufvx and the Pim' Needle, and as manager of the '35 football team. Nelson's reserve has won for him tlIe respect of teachers and boys 3 his good-natured disposition has won their friend- ship.

Bobby knew only a few boys when he Grst came here. but his pleasant nature and friendly smile soon drew the crowd his way. Always extremely courteous and obliging. Bobby would go out of his way to do a favor fora friend. I'le strove faithfully in all lines of endeavor. This perse- verance has helped him greatly in school and will continue to be an aid to him throughout life. Another admirable quality of Bobby's is his absolutely uneomplaining spirit. XVhcn he gets had breaks, he keeps his chin up and pushes on. undaunted and still smiling. Bobby is one of the fastest runners in the School, and has been a dependable man on the track team for the past two years. He runs the dashes, specializing in the two- twenty. Although Bobby did not make his letter in foot- ball and basketball, he showed himself to be very capable in both sports, but lacked the experience necessary for a nnished performer. There is a chance that Bobby may return to St. Cliristo- pher's next year to take up additional' work, instead of rush- ing off to college. VVe believe that it would be to his advantage as well as the School's if he did so.

There is a rumor that Shirley will return to School next year for post-graduate work.

SM1'1'1i 1 The Student Honor Committee ol' 1936 is the smallest committee that the School has had for the past several years. Due to the fact that there are only seven boys on the committee this year, all ol whom are boys ol' the highest principles and ideal, it had had greater inHu- ence on school life and on the student body than ever before. The most outstanding boys of the student body are put on the Honor Committee, and these boys are chosen by Dr. Chamberlayne and the boys elected to the committee the previous year. A committeeman must co-operate in every way with the faculty and must help to make the School run smoothly. Membership on the committee is one of the highest honors to which a boy in St. Christopher's may aspire. X During the past year Luke Drury has been the chairman of the Honor Committee. He has an unusual record at school. and it was httinq that he should get the highest position in the student body. Ben Bosher. Luke, and Billy Richardson were elected to the Honor Committee in the spring of 19.35, while Dick Carrington and Harry Marshall were added to this group at Commencement exercises. Nelson Smith, and Mac Parrish are the most recent additions to the I-Ionor Committee, having been put on just before the Christmas holidays. l.....c ........

It does a World of good for the poor and unfortunate, and it brings much satisfaction and enjoyment to the boys of the School. All the funds taken in are given to some church organization, or to some worthy and needy person or institution. Besides contributing to these, the Missionary Society takes part in various city-wide drives. Some carried on last year were: the Red Cross drive, the Anti- Tuberculosis Christmas Seal drive, the Community Fund drive, and campaigns for col- lecting toys, clothes, and other articles for the poor. On Sunday night once a month, at eight olclock, there is held a devotional meeting of the Missionary Society in th-e School assembly hall. There is a regular prayer service conducted by one of the boys, either officer or director, and an address is made by the speaker of the evening. The speakers this year included such well-known men as the Rev. R. Cary Montague, D.D., City Missionary, the Rev. G. MaeLaren Bryden, D.D., the Rev. Lewis Carter Harrison, D.D., of Emmanuel Church, the Rev. George P. Mayo, D.D., Prin- cipal of the Blue Ridge Industrial School, the Rev. Churchill I.

KNOWLES Secretary Secretary The boys of St. Christopher's probably derive more lasting benefits from participating in the literary meets than from any other school activity, This training has proved of ines- timable value to boys after they leave the School, and each year many alumni return to thank Doctor for having made them receive this forensic training. The School is divided into two literary societies, the Lee and the Iackson, and the two societies complete with each other in reading, declaiming, and debating. The meets are held about every three weeks, and each boy has a chance to show his stufI. The sounds of disapproval that strike the ears of a contestant who performs poorly are not quite so harsh as those jeers that met the ears of the old Greek orators, but they serve equally well their purpose of raising to a high plane the standards of public speaking in the School. Those who do well receive an enthusiastic applause, which reveals the admiration and respect of the other students. The scores compiled in each meeting are carefully kept by the two secretaries, and at the end of each year the beautiful Lee-Iackson Trophy Cup is awarded the winning so- ciety. The Lees practically always have this cup in their possession, but this year the Iacksons are far in the lead and bid fair to win. .35. THE LITERARY TEAM This year the School was exceedingly fortunate in having seven very able boys to compose its literary team in the annual encounter with Virginia Episcopal School. In our 1936 squad Were: Victor Vaughan, public speaker, P. L. Conquest and Billy Richardson, readers, Benn Bosher and Harry Marshall, negative debating team, and Mac Parrish and Wyndham Blanton, affirmative debating team. This group held up the splendid record of the School by scoring the sixth successive victory over V. E. S. u The meet was held Saturday evening, March 15. The St. Christopher literary team acted as host, and won over its guests from Lynchburg by winning the reading and public Speaking, while losing the debating. The reading and debating were decided with unani- mous votes from the three judges, but the public speaking was very close, with both con- testants giving interesting and well-delivered speeches. Victor Vaughan, the St. Chris- topher entry, got two votes, and Maurice Edwards, his opponent, one. George Barton opened the meet, reading for V. E. S. a moving selection from Douglas Freeman's R. E. Lee. Billy Richardson then read clearly, The Death in the Wheatf' from Frank Norris' The Octopus. Hobart Fitzgerald, the second V. E. S. reader, gave De Maupassant's masterpiece, The Necklace. Conquest clinched the reading for the Saints, rendering excellently the description of Lee in lolzn Brown'.r Body. Victor Vaughan delivered a well-written speech on Stream Pollution in Virginia. Maurice Edwards, of V. E. S., gave an interesting account of the great work of the Tennessee Valley Authority. After the reading and public speaking, the Demostheneses of the St. Christopher and V. E. S. debating teams, stormed around on the rostrum, and when the smoke cleared, the Hill City boys had won a clear-cut decision. The question debated was Resolved: That inter-scholastic athletics should be abolished in the public high schools of Virginiaf, The judges of the meet were: Rev. Solon B. Cousins, Pastor of the Second Baptist Church, Richmondg Dr. Raymond Pinchbeck, Dean of the University of Richmond, and Dr. B. C.

Under the direction of Mr. Boyce Loving, founder of the Dramatic Club, Handicap was produced. This play was written by the director, Mr. Loving, and it was held at the University of Richmond playhouse. An elaborate and quite appropriate program was got out for the occasion. ' l Y - 5 T V, Victor Vaughan took the lead in Handicap in the person of Paul Fentress, a young playwright. Playing opposite him in the feminine lead was Henry Staples, acting the role of a charming young lady, Miss Ellen Royal. The second leads were taken by Pleasanton Conquest, and Kim Moran, a newcomer to the stage, who was a flippant young girl. 'Billy Richardson, an old-timer of the Dramatic Club, played the part of an old successful business man, Ellen's Uncle Bob. Harry Marshall, another veteran, and President of the St. Kit's Players, took the part of a Iewish author's agent, and he performed like a professional actor. David Green, Edgar MacDonald, and Edward Gregory completed the cast. Betty, played by MacDonald, gave the school boys quite a thrill, with some fancy hip-shaking of the Mae West type.

For thirteen years Mr. Loving and the Dramatic Club have wandered about, holding their plays in different places. At last their dream has come true, and they now have a perma- nent home in the new gymnasium. A great deal of effort was put forth for the diHicult production of Iourney': End, and as a result the play was successful in every way. The leading role of Captain Stanhope was taken by Harry Marshall, President of the Dramatic Club. He gave an outstanding performance. The second lead was played by Vic- tor Vaughan. He took the part of Osborne. Edgar MacDonald played Lieutenant Raleigh. The roles of Hibbert and Trotter were taken by David Green and William Rennolds, respec- tively. William Richardson gave an excellent portrayal of The Colonel. Another actor, applauded by the audience, was Pleasonton Conquest. He, in his inimitable way, acted the role of Mason, the cook. Captain Hardy was portrayed by Bob Henley. Edward Gregory took the part of the whole British Army. Purcell and Warren Vaughan com- pleted the Cast. Much credit should go to lack bkehan for his skillful management of the elaborate sound equipment.

BRENAMAN ' DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Thirteen Years of Service 1 Thirteen years ago the die was cast in our favor. Mr. Hugh Crawford Brena- man came to a small school, St. Christopher's, as head coach and director of athletics. Much water has flowed under the bridge since that time, and today Coach Brenaman, perhaps the most revered and beloved man at St. Christo- pher's, is generally accepted among prep and high school circles to be the most proficient football coach in the state. . It is needless to say how much and to what extent every student of St. Chris- topher's holds Coach in esteem. The answer has been, and always will be, the highest possible-the top. He is all that man or coach could be-upright, persevering, patient, a true sportsman, attractive, with a winning personality, and progressive. He is not only a lodestone in the foundation of the St. Chris- topher's of today, but is the shining star in the formation of character in the students. It is not just the knowledge of how to play football, baseball, or bas- ketball, that he has instilled in us, but that intangible thing called manliness, and that inestimable quality of true sportsmanship. Hugh Brenaman's accomplishments in regard to the School in general and particularly in regard to its athletic department form for him an endless path of glory. In 1925, when Coach came to St. Christopher's, he was immediately placed in charge of athletics. He practically started organized athletics in the School, for there had been little organization in this department before he came. Besides varsity teams in football, baseball, and basketball, Iunior and Midget teams were organized in these sports. Coach', cherished, looked after, and taught them all. He patiently nursed athletics at St. Christopher's from infancy to childhood, and then to manhood. Gradually, due to his efforts and the growth of the School, athletic attend- ance grew, and about four professors were enlisted to coach the lower squads. Mr. Brenaman found more time to devote to his varsity squads, especially foot- ball, and his courageous, spirited, sporting teams began to show the effects of his leadership and coaching. In 1926, the Saints won their First City Champion- ship, in football. With the growth of the School, Coach', was given more money to spend on athletic facilities and equipment, and St. Christopher's teams began to be recognized more widely. 1930! City Championship in football. 1932! Another City Championship in football. 1933! Once more City Champions in football. 1934! City Championship in baseball and football. 1935! A repe- tition of 1934. It is not to be expected that a continuous string of honors such as those of '32, '33, and '34 may continue forever, but with Coach at the helm of St. Christopher's athletic department, you can depend on good, scrapping, spirited, and sportsmanlike teams representing the School in athletics. .45. 1-1 MIL EET 4 --..-----------..--------::::::::-- + Oct.

LA I H -L! if NL ----------3 f - f N! 1935 FOOTBALL TEAM f- Few people outside of the coach and the members of the footbal team know what a great leader Luke was. His own good playing and his never-say-die spirit in- spired his teammates to put forth the very best that was in them. When the team was backed up against its own goal line fighting to stave off a touchdown, it was usually Luke who broke through to throw the runner for a loss and thus save the day. Every man on the team respected Drury highly and believed implicitly in his ability to lead the team on to victory. Luke knew when to console the team with words of praise, when to set on fire its fighting spirit withlwords of derision. Ever alert and watchful, he took care that none of the boys sustained iniury without having it im- mediately attended to. By dropping a friendly word here and there, he kept his team fighting together all for one and one for all, free from any dissension. Playing his third year on the team, Luke not only received recognition on the All-City eleven, but was also elected to the All-State Prep teami St. Christopher's will produce many more good football players and many more fine leaders, but we dare say, it will never produce a better player or a finer leader than Luke Drury. . 49 .

Football Resume 1 St. C hriszopherk, 0,' Woodberry Forest, 0 The 1935 version of St. Christopl1er's football eleven opened their season on October 5, at Orange, in a 0-0 tie with Woodberry Forest. The fighting Red and Grays outclassed their oppo- nents in all departments, threatening their goal line twice, but failed to put the ball over. Mac Parrish, Saint center, kicked ofi at the opening whistle, and the ball was downed on the Woodberry 30-yard marker. On the first Wood- berry play a fumble, recovered for the Saints by Bosher, gave the Richmond team the ball on the Woodberry 22-yard stripe. Several more plays resulted in a first down. Then the Saints took to the air, but they were unable to score. In the second quarter the St. Christopher's eleven drove from their own 40 to the Wood- berry 30-yard line, but unfortunately at this point the half ended. The third period was the only one of the game in which the Orange eleven made a real drive. They amassed two Hrst downs and eight yards toward another before the Red and Gray team buckled down and forced them to kick. In the last quarter the St. Christopher's eleven again threatened the Woodberry goal, but an intercepted pass gave Woodberry possession of the ball. The game ended with the ball in St. Christopher's possession on Woodberry's 20- yard line. St. Christoplzerk, I3,' Thomas lejersorz, I9 The much heralded St. Christopher-Thomas Iefierson game took place on Friday, October 11, in the city stadium. The Ieffs won, 19-13, but this score does not in the least reveal the close- ness of the game. It was one of the most thrill- ing football games that a St. Christopher's team ever played. The Saints were greatly outweighed, and this, coupled with the loss of Dick Car- rington, stellar fullback, in the first quarter, less- ened their chances for victory. A steady drive by Tee Iay in the first half gave them the first tally of the game. Sam Dunn kicked the extra point. This aroused the Saints' fighting spirit, and a 35-yard run by Iimmy Patterson put them in position to score. Nelson Hotchkiss made the touchdown and Irv- ing Knowles booted the extra point. The Red and Gray marched down the field in the second quarter to be stopped only inches from the Tee Iay goal line. Later on in the quarter the Brenaman-coached lads made their second touchdown. Thomas Iefferson scored again on a Hat pass to the left side of the field, and the third period ended with the two teams in a 13-13 deadlock. A Saint pass, intercepted by Alex Moore in the final period, gave Tee lay the margin of vic- tory. Although a pass from Woodward to Pat- terson put the ball on the Belt-liners' 15-yard stripe, the game ended with no further score. St. Clzristophcrk, I4,' Sz. Albarfs, 6 On Friday, October 18, the St. Christopher's football team journeyed to Washington and de- feated the previously unbeaten and unscored upon St. Alban's team by the score of 14-6. The Blue and White team's record was broken in the second quarter when lim Patterson, re- ceiving a pass from Iohn Woodward, ran to the 1-yard lineg then Woodward went over for the tally. Knowles kicked the extra point. The Red and Gray team fought their way to the St. Alban's 8-yard marker in the second period, but at this time the half ended. The St. Alban eleven came back at the begin- ning of the second half with renewed fighting spirit. Combining a tricky aerial attack with powerful line smashes, the Blue and White was rewarded with a touchdown. The try for the extra point failed. The St. Alban's kick-off was returned to the Saints' thirty. On the next play Iimmy,' Patterson took the ball on a spinner and, aided by the beautiful blocking of his team- mates, ran 70 yards for a touchdown. Knowles again kicked the extra point. Patterson starred on the offense, while Bosher and Captain Luke Drury, with their vicious tackling, looked good on the defense.

Tricky. well executed plays and a fighting spirit were responsi- ble for the Saints' win, as the Iohn Marshall eleven out- weighed the Saints by fifteen pounds per man. The ball remained in Iohn Marshall territory most of the first quarter, The Iustices were continuously pe- nalized, and the Red and Gray team's running attack clicked beautifully. The quarter ended with the ball on the Iohn Marshall 4-yard stripe. To begin the second quarter, Woodward hit the cen- ter of the line and picked up 3 yards. On the next play he went over to score, and. as usual, Knowles converted the extra point. The rest ofthe period the ball see-sawed up and clown the field. The Iustices battered their way to the Red and Gray 4-yard stripe in the third quarter, but here thc Saints stiffened and Iohn Marshall was unable to score. In the last period Iohn Marshall put on a desperate drive to score, but this was smashed when Luke Drury broke through the Iohn Marshall line and threw the runner for a 10-yard loss. Frantic passes by the Iustices were of no avail, and the game ended with the ball in St. Christopher's possession. St. Chrirtophcrk, 27,' Benedictine, 0 On November 1, the Saints crushed a fighting Bene- dictine team to the tune of 27-0. The game was played on Fitzgerald Field, and a large crowd was on hand. The First part of the first quarter featured a punting duel with no particular advantage gained by either team. Later in the period, however, lim Patterson set out on a sweeping end run which, aided by Iohn Woodward's blocking, resulted in a touchdown. Knowles failed to drop-kick the extra point. In the same period. a pass from Patterson to Peyton, who lateralled to Knowles, gave the home team another touchdown. In the second quarter, a Benedictine player fumbled a lateral behind the Irish goal lineg this netted the Saints a safety-two points. A third touchdown, made by Nel- son Hotchkiss, was called back because of clipping. The ncxt period was marked by another St. Christo- pher march down the field. A pass to Knowles netted 20 yards. On the next play a second first down was madeg then, as in the first quarter, Patterson passed to Peyton, and Knowles, receiving Peyton's lateral, ran over for the tally. ln the fourth quarter a beautiful pass from Knowles to Patterson put the ball on the Green 2-yard line. Iohn Woodward made the touchdown, and Iunie Knowles kicked the extra point. .52. 4 St. Chri.vtophcr'.f, 0,' McGuire':, 12 From the ashes of a 20-O defeat by Thomas Iefferson the week before, McGuire's football team rose to unparalleled heights to trounce an overconfi-dent Saint eleven by the count of 12-0 before a large Armistice Day crowd. Captain Luke Drury kicked off for St. Christopher's to the McGuire's 40. McGuire's lost the ball on downs, and with the ball in their possession, the Saints penetrated within McGuire's 30-yard stripe. Here, however, a St. Christopher fumble was recovered by the Macs. The second quarter opened with the ball in the Macs' possession. They punted to the Red and Gray 28-yard line. The Saints drove up the held to McGuire's 40, but here their march ended. Tucker, of McGuire's, intercepted a St. Christopher pass, and ran for 20 yards. Tucker then unleashed a pass caught by Williams, who shook OH three Saint tacklers to stumble across the goal line. The Macs failed to convert the extra point. Late in the same quarter, the Saints fought their way to McGuire's 7-yard line, but were unable to score. ln the third period the Saints held McGuire's for four downs on the 6-inch line. A f0urth quarter drive by the Mackmen resulted in another touchdown. They again failed to make the extra point. The Saints then resorted to an aerial attack, but by this time the game was nearly over. The whistle found the Red and Gray team on their opponents' 30. Sz. C hristophcrlr, 34,' C hristchurch, 0 Playing in a cold drizzle, which soaked Fitzgerald Field and the three hundred spectators who witnessed the game, the St. Christopher eleven again broke into the win column by defeating a weak Christchurch team, 34-0, on November 15. The varsity reserves started the game, and they soon forced the Churchmen back to their own 20-yard line. The ball went over to Christchurch, however, and after two attempts to gain through the line they punted. The Saints then opened a powerful attack and advanced to the 5-yard stripe. Crosby Miller bucked the line for the first touchdown of the day, and Knowles kicked the extra point. The Saints were unable to score in the second quarter, and so at the beginning of the second half the varsity regulars went into the fray. lim Patterson, behind fine blocking, made a long run to the Christchurch teng Knowles hit the line for the touchdown a-nd also made the conversion. A fumble on the Christchurch 3-yard stripe made by 'KDick Car- rington was recovered by Nelson Hotchkiss over the goal line. Mac Parrish place-kicked the extra point. Woodward and Gwathmey made two more six-pointers. The Saints piled up a total of fourteen first downs for a total of 215 yards. . St. Christophcrif, 7,' Virginia Episcopal School, 7 On November 23, St. Christopher's football eleven ended a very successful season at Lynch- burg in three inches of mud. The Saints and Virginia Episcopal School fought to a 7-7 tie. Captain Drury kicked-off at the opening whistle. Williams, spearhead of the V. E. S. attack, caught the ball on the run and, behind beautiful blocking, wove his way to the Saint's Z0-yard stripe. Williams then passed to Gordon, V. E. S. end, who caught the ball over the line for a touchdown. Williams bucked the line for the extra point. Coming back strong in the second quarter the Saints took to the air. Carrington plunged the line for a first down, a pass from Patterson to Peyton gave the mud-smeared Red and Gray another first down, and then Iohn Woodward passed to Patterson, who scored standing up. Dashing into the game at a moment when the result of the game depended on the extra point, Iunie Knowles coolly drop-kicked the pigskin between the uprights. In the last period a series of six intercepted passes kept the spectators in suspense, how- ever no advantage was gained by either team. The game ended with the ball in the posses- sion of St. Christopher's. In spite of the very muddy Held, there was a minimum of fumbles. Mac Parrish played an outstanding game for the Saints at the center position. 'lj Tp .lx 1 1 x. - y , , K X 1 ll QL, i, fi kg, N il , at ,i w , ., ' ,f ' .

SQUAD Although St. Christopher's did not have a very suc- cessful basketball team this year, it was not because the boys did not fight. Led by Captain Parrish, the Saints al- ways did their very best. They reached their peak against Benedictine, the strongest team in the state, in which game they were defeated by two points, and then only after three extra periods had been played. Captain Parrish, always calm and collected in the heat of battle, played good, clean, hard ball. Mac in- spired his team by the dash and daring of his own play. He played best under pressure, and invariably came through in the tough spots. It was usually Mac who charged through the opponents' defense to ring up two points, and thus urge his team to greater efforts. Mac played forward during the Hrst part of the sea- son, but as the season drew to a close, Coach Dawson shifted him to a guard position. He proved to be even better at guard than he had been at forward. Mac co- operated to the fullest with both the coach and the mem- bers of his team, and Coach Dawson often followed Mac's advice and suggestions. . 57 . I.

In other respects, however, it was rather gratifying. Although the record as a whole is not very convincing, still some very singular feats were accomplished. The team won eight games and lost fifteen of the twenty-three which were played. For the work done during the year Coach Dawson gave nine playing let- ters and a letter to Manager Dunham. The players' awards were given to Cap- tain Parrish, Knowles, Drury, Christian, Bosher, and Carrington, who composed the starting line-up, and Woodward, Gresham, and Blackwell, substitutes. Scoring honors went to Captain Parrish and Knowles, each having a total of sixty-nine points. Parrish was placed on the Coach's All-City Second team, and several other members of the team were awarded honorable mention. Before the Christmas holidays the Saint team played five games. Of these they Won four and lost one, that to New Kent High. On the return of the squad after the holidays, they entered the Richmond College tournament. Here, they were defeated by Glen Allen, whom they had previously beaten. The score was 40-20. Several days later a fast and snappy Benedictine team handed the Saints a 42-20 licking. Goldstein led the cadets with a total of twelve points. Continuing their city games, the Red and Gray team met the Thomas Iefferson quint. Here again they found defeat, after leading during the first part of the game. After a trip to Woodberry, where the Saints were bottled up and defeated by the score of 22-8, South Boston in- vaded-Richmond and left with a 24-14 victory. The sixth game of this losing streak was played with Iohn Marshall, who won out by the overwhelming score of 56-14. However, before exams started, the Saints won two games, one from Petersburg and one from Christchurch.

Following this, Iohn Marshall and Har- grave handed out defeats to the team by the respective scores of 42-7 and 27-17. From then on the team obtained new life and vigor, and although they won only two of the remaining games, they lost each of the others by close scores. Episcopal High took a see-saw game by the score of 26-22. Soon after this came one of the most delightful surprises of the year. Matthew Whaley's team which had only been defeated once in two years was sent back defeated, 24-17. Following this the Saints again put up an excellent stand playing the city-championship Benedictine team to a tie which was finally broken by the visitors after three extra periods. Then came a disappointment. V. E. S. defeated the Saints for the first time in three years. Next the Saints lost a very exciting game to Ashland by the score of 19-18. After losing to the boys from Thomas Iefferson, the St. C. bas- keteers finished their season with a ragged victory at Christchurch.

Happily the choice fell on Charles Hutchinson, a protege of Duck Lawson, who well de- serves the honor. Hutch has two years of varsity ex- perience back of him, and shows great promise of ina! turing into a superb hurler. His last year's performance was excellent, and had it not been overshadowed some- what by Lawson's, it would have received even wider recognition. We all remember his fine pitchingin the McGuire game, and how he reached his peak against Tee Iay, almost shutting out the Belt Liners. As this article is being written, Hutchinson is just be- ginning to limber up his arm preparatory to the first game, in which he will captain the Saints on the diamond. Never before has Slewfoot been brought so prominently into the limelight, but we confidently expect great things of him, and he and his cohorts have our heartiest best wishes. . 63 . CHARLES E.

This team can certainly lay claim to the best percentage ever made by a St. Cbristopher's baseball team-eleven games won and four lost. The '35 team defeated all of its city opponents to retain the City Championship, which was won by the '34 team. However, the '35 edition of the Saints did not fare so well with out-of-town teams. losing twice to the very strong Petersburg High School team and once each to Woodberry Forest and Virginia Episcopal School. The success of last year's baseball team can in a large measure be traced to the superb pitching of Duck Lawson and Charles Hutchinson. Lawson is undoubtedly the best pitcher ever to attend St. Christopher's. I-Ie established quite a record in the second Iohn Marshall game when he retired the Iustices in the last inning by pitching only nine balls, everyone a called strike. The hitting of the '35 team was weak, and the Fielding was at times raggedg however, smart baseball, exceptional pitching, and the experience gained by the players from past seasons, combined to give St. Chris- topher's School a very good team. At the beginning of practice, with eight veterans of last year's fine team back and two experienced newcomers on hand, Harry Dinwiddie and Fred Swindell, the pros- pects looked very bright for a good season. Nevertheless, in the first game of the year, Petersburg upset the Saints to the tune of 5-1. The Saints made nine errors and showed a bad need of practice. The team settled down in the second game and won a thrilling twelve-inning affair from Iohn Marshall, 4-2. Gibson's sensational catch of a deep linedrive in the last half of the twelfth inning with two men on base was the feature of the game. Next the Saints took McGuire's into camp, 8-4. Hutchinson pitched good ball, and the team showed a real hitting punch, Captain Pinder getting three hits-one a homer -out of five trips to the plate. On April 22, the Saints travelled up to Woodberry Forest and lost to the Tigers, 3-1. Pinder pitched a nice game, but his teammates just could not get those needed hits. A few days later the Thomas Iefferson ball club ran up against Hutchinson, when he was at his peak, and went down in defeat, 4-2.

Then the Saints lost to Petersburg for the second time. A timely triple in the ninth bv Iunie Knowles tied the score at four all, but in the eleventh the Petersburg boys, aided by loose playing on the part of the Saints, pushed over four more runs, making the final score 8-4. On April 30, the St. C. nine beat Iohn Marshall 2-1. In this game Duck Law- son reached his peak, striking out thirteen batters. A Next the Saints defeated Christchurch, 13-1. Seventeen strikeouts on each team was the outstanding peculiarity of the game. Numerous errors by the Christchurch boys spoiled their chances of victory. Meeting Woodberry on May 4, the Saints avenged an earlier defeat by the score of 9-7. Russ Beattie was the star of the game, getting four hits out of five trips to the plate, one of which was a homer, In a game called in the sixth inning on account of rain, Westhampton High was defeated 2-1. In this game Wightman got three hits out of as many trys. On May 11, a snappy Episcopal High School team went down in defeat, 2-1. Lawson pitched superb ball, allowing only one hit and fanning fifteen batsmen. The Saints trailed until the eighth inning, when Wightman came through with a double to drive in two runs. Next our old rivals, McGuire's, were crushed, 10-3. Lawson allowed only three hits. Our boys scored six runs in the ninth inning as the Mac's infield blew up. On May 18, the Saints lost a heart-breaker to Virginia Episcopal School, 2-1. The game was played in record time. Pierce pitched fine ball for V. E. S. and had the Saints completely under his thumb. The '35 team finished the season with a 10-4 victory over Ashland. In this game Gibson drove out a long home run with two men on base. Hutchinson kept the Ashland boys well in check. Letter men for the 1935 season not back this year are: Swindell, catcher, Lawson, pitcher, Warner, First base, Iohn Knowles, second base, Dinwiddie, short stop, Captain Pinder, third base, Russ Beattie, left field, Gibson, center field, and C.

WOODWARD MISS MARGARET BYRD Captain Sponsor St. Christopher's could not wish for a more inspiring track captain than Iohn Minor. The events in which he participates are many and varied, ranging from the dashes and hurdles in the running events to the broad jump, pole vault, and javelin throw in the field events. He was high scorer last year, accumulating fifteen or more points in every meet. Not only is Iohn a natural athlete of the First order, but he is also endowed with a fighting spirit that refuses to admit defeat. He sets a splendid example for the other members of the team by his grim determination and perseverance. It was mentioned above that Iohn is a natural athlete, which is quite true, but it must also be taken into consideration that he practices more than any other boy in the School. He stays out after practice on school days, and spends much of his time during the week-ends perfecting his style of play in football, basketball, baseball, and track. These extra practice sessions have brought results, for Iohn is by far the best athlete in the School. The 1936 Track Team has outstanding material and a most exceptional leader in Iohn Minor Woodward. We expect it to go far and win honor and esteem for itself and the School. s. .1 tt? . l .XX Q .F- Y , I 'JA' 1 ,J 0' Rv Q 1 -'L .I W ' 1936 Track Squad l935 Track Resume' The 1955 edition of' Coach Green's track team was noted for the brilliance of indi- vidual performers rather than for the success of the team as a whole. Iohn Woodward, with a total of eighty-six points, was the high point man of the team. Curtis Spencer came next with fifty-one points. A The first meet of the year was a triangular affair with Virginia Episcopal School and McGuire's on April 19, won by the boys from the Hill City, who scored 56M points to 56 points for the Saints. The meet was nip and tuck throughout, and the winner was not determined until the last event, the iavelin throw, was over. Iohn Woodward was high point man of the day with 12 points. Peyton broke the School record for the high hurdles with the time of 17.4 seconds, and McCreery established the School record of 5 minutes 25 seconds for the mile. The next meet was with Woodherry on April 25. Woodherry won 56-61, although Woodward hurled the pelum 161 feet for a school record, and Peyton succeeded in lowering his own mark for the high hurdles to 16.8 seconds. VVoodward and Captain Spencer amassed 15 points each to share the scoring honors of the meet. Beaten in their first two meets by very thin margins, the Saint harriers ran to vic- tory over the Spider Frosh at the Richmond Stadium on May 3. The Saints won handily by the score of 62-55, as Peyton again lowered his record for the high hurdles to 16.3 seconds. The following day Spencer, Woodward, Peyton, and Drury iourneyed to Charlottesville for the All-State meet. Although Staunton Military Academy won the meet, the Saints made a creditable showing and placed fifth. Spencer won a first place in the broad jump with a leap of 21 feet, a new school record. Another close meet was lost to Hargrave Military Academy on May 10 by the score of 59-58. For the All-City meet on the hfteenth the Saints captured a second place, Iohn Marshall winning the meet. St. Christopher's star, Iohn Woodward, was the high scorer of the meet with 21 points. Captain Curtis Spencer took first place in the broad jump, and Armistead Peyton, our demon high-hurdler, ran off with hon- ors in that event. In addition to the performances of those members of the team which have been mentioned above, the work of Drury, Russ Beattie, Richardson, Trice, and Patterson was outstanding, and each supplied quite a few points in the various meets. .53.

This spacious room is located in the basement of the new gym- nasium, and it is rapidly being fitted with the best and most modern equipment at- tainable. Already the room contains an expensive wrestling mat, a fine pulley-weight exerciser, a medicine ball, two punching bags, and numerous pairs of boxing gloves. Other equipment, including a rowing machine, will be placed in this room as soon as money can be secured for its purchase. The purpose of the gymnastic room is not to turn out inter-scholastic wrestling and boxing teams, but to make physical fitness possible for every boy in the School. In past years boys in the fifth, sixth, and seventh forms, who did not take basketball, had to go walking on fair days and to remain idle on rainy days. This year these boys reported to the gymnastic room every day-rain or shine--and took a stiff Work- out, either wrestling or boxing. This type of exercise appealed to the boys immensely, and the room was always hlled to capacity. Before the new gym was built there was no space for an exercise room, and as a result winter athletics were somewhat restricted. But now St. Christopher's has two basketball courts, two handball courts, and this exercise room, which make it possible to carry out indoors an extensive winter program that satisfies the needs and desires of all the boys from the first to the seventh forms. Coach Brenaman remarked, We have finally reached the point where every boy in the School can be given sufficient physical training. This is a statement we have long been waiting to hear. .70. PARRISH HARRIS SYDNOR TALMAN CARRINGTON I935 Tennis Resume' ' The tennis team of last year probably had more potential strength than any other tennis team that has ever represented St. Christopher's. Their schedule included many of the state's strongest teams, not to mention the excellent North Carolina.Fresh- men. The entire team of the year before, made up of Sydnor, Talman, Parrish, Harris, and Carrington returned to school much improved in their play. In the first match the Saints overwhelmed Fork Union without losing a set. Parrish and Carrington, two of the stars, were easily the outstanding players that day. We might add that it was their constant good playing throughout the year that in- fluenced so much the record of the team. In the next two matches the Saints scored victories of 6-1 over Woodberry and 4-3 over the Virginia Frosh, the last named scrap being quite a thriller. But the team ran up against stiff competition in their next college encounter, losing to the North Carolina Freshmen, O-7. This was hardly as bad as it seems because the Tarheels were rated one of the best Frosh teams in the South. Next week the Saints' racketeers continued to lose, dropping a hotly contested battle to their age-old rivals from Alex- andria. The Episcopal men took all but two matches, Captain Sydnor winning his match. In the Final two encounters the Saints regained their stride, and romped their way to easy victories over Christchurch, 7-0, and Woodberry, 7-0. The playing of the entire team was excellent, the work of Talman being outstanding. In closing, the whole 1935 team should be commended for its ability and its good record. Especial credit should go to Captain Sydnor, who led his cohorts through an exceptionally gratifying season. ,ff Junior Football-l935 The Iunior football team was not so successful this year as last, but it was the fault neither of the players nor Coach Green. The team had to battle against sick- ness and injuries, which were greater and far more formidable antagonists than the various teams that were met on the gridiron. The prospects at the opening of the season were very bright. However, on October 1 sickness began to work havoc among the squad, and this state of affairs lasted throughout the entire season. There were only two men of the team who were not at some time or other during the sea- son hindered by sickness. Although the Iunior's ranks were greatly thinned, and de- feat seemed to stare them in the face at every turn, the boys did not give up, but made a brave fight to the last. The Iuniors looked fine in their first game, which they won from Hill School, 27-0. On October 22, the 140-pound eleven was nosed OLIIZ 6-0 by Boys' I-Iome. In this game both Satterfield and David Vaughan were lost to the team for the season. In the games with Benedictine and Thomas Iefferson, the Iuniors did well on the de- fense, but lacked a scoring punch. Lettermen for the 1956 season were: Captain Christian, Stringfellow, Spessard, I. Vaughan, C. li. Moore, D. Ellet, Scott, Henley, Talley, M. M. Williams, Hutcheson. and Manager Gregory.

The team included some very fine individual performers, whose develop- ment may be ascribed to the able coaching of Mr. Morgan. The hard fighting St. Christopher's Midgets were defeated in their opening game, 7-0, by the strong Sauer's Garden team. The Midgets played their best game of the year on November 23, when they defeated Fork Union, 6-0. Letters were awarded by Coach Morgan to the following: Captain Parrish, Todd, Coleman, Bemiss, Iohns, Harrison, Buford, Gayle, Gill, Blanton, Carrington, Thurs- ton, and Manager Gatewood.

G MIDEL Giiiims Bullpup Football-City Champions, This is the first St. Christopher's Bullpup team ever to win the City Championship. The Little Saints played eight games, and out of these they won sixg losing only to Woodberry and to Boys' Home. The Bullpups opened their season hy blanking Benedictine, 13-0. In the next game the Saints took McGuire's into camp hy the decisive score of 19-0. Next, the Saint gridders met Benedictine for the second time and again succeeded in overcoming the Cadets-this time by a score of 15-0. The Bullpups received their first defeat at the hands of the strong Woodberry eleven to the tune of 20-O, but in the next contest the Little Saints defeated the Boys' Home aggregation, 6-0. The most sensational game of the season was the second game with McGuire's. With the score tied, 7-7, Frank Blanton intercepted a pass in the last minute of play and returned it to the 40-yard line. Then Welby Beverley completed two passes in succession to Heindl to register the winning marker. Boys' Home emerged victorious from a hard-fought battle by a score of 12-6. Dead- locked with Boys' Home for the City Championship, an extra game had to be played to decide the title. The Bullpups won this encounter, 6-0. The following hoys received monograms: Captain Frank Blanton, Beverley, Hill, Cary, Woodward, A. Williams, I-Ieindl, Whitehead, Easterly, Baylor, Spence, G. Carrington, Q ki, Myers, Cabell, and Manager L. Blackburn. 73 5 9 A Junior Baseball-1935 The St. Christopher Iunion baseball team of 1935 compiled a very fine record, winning ten and losing only three games. This achievement, which does not quite match the work of the 1934 team, that won eleven and lost three, brings credit on all those connected with the team and adds one more page to the long list of notable achievements of St. Christopher's athletic teams. The Iuniors were coached for the third straight year by Mr. Cooper Dawson, and always gave a hard battle to their opponents, even in defeat. Andrew Christian, captain and star second baseman, and Bucky Palmer, hard-hitting catcher, tied for the award of the most valuable player. The sterling defensive work of Christian, who made only six errors out of one hundred and thirty chances in two years of play, stamps him as the best defensive player ever turned out on the Iunior Held, and earns him the distinction of most valuable player. While at the same time the remark- able hitting of lim Palmer, who finished the season with an average of 560, makes it impossible to overlook his talents in choosing the most valuable player. Wyndham Blanton on first, Iulian Sanger at shortstop and Charlie Stringfellow in centerfield, all veterans of the 1934 champions, turned in excellent performances, and they were ably abetted by Charlie Thalhimer at third, and Ned Campbell, Billy Hill, and Dave Satterfield in the outfield. The bulk of the pitching was handled by Sonny Spessard and Kim Moran with plenty of aid from Cabell Hancock and Cabell Moore, although Iohn Woodward came down from the track squad to pitch the best game of the year against the Harris-Flippen American Legion team. Outstanding features of the 1935 season were: the 4-O shutout administered to the Sacred Heart team by the strong right arm of Kim Moran, the 4-4 tie with the West- hampton High team, in which the St. C. Iuniors, led by the hitting of Palmer and Thalhimer, matched runs with the Westhampton Varsity for seven innings, the two victories over Harris F1ippen's American Legion team and the easy victories over McGuire's, West End Midgets and William Byrd. The team of 1935 turned in a fine record, and, together with that of the 1934 team, leaves a wonderful accomplishment which future Iunior baseball teams may well attempt to equal.

The first three dances were given un- J der the sponsorship of the Monogram Club. -A. . X- The money raised by these dances went to the iii? 5 BEM T outfitting of the new gymnasium. These dances were given on Ianuary 25, February 15, and April 18. Although inexpensive orchestras were obtained for these three dances, the music was excellent. The music for the first and third dances was furnished by Roy Dennis' Orchestra, while Iimmy Hamner's Orchestra played for the second. There were about two hundred people at each of the dances, and all seemed to enjoy themselves very much, especially the younger boys, who really seem to be blossoming out in a big way. Also Captain Hankins seemed as spry as ever, tangoing with his usual grace over the smooth Hoor of the new gym. The dances stopped at twelve o'clock in spite of the protest of every one, and the local buds with their escorts started home. I 3 V H5115-il .i-1 K' 5 1 ' Final Dances- I935 I The Final dances of 1935 were probably the most elaborate ever given at St. Christopher's. The dances were held in the St. Catherine's gymnasium, which was beautifully decorated with pine boughs and with some of the red and gray school blankets. lim Fettis' Orchestra furnished the music, which everyone agreed was the best ever heard at any St. Christopher dance. At both dances there were large crowds, consisting of boys of the school, their friends, and a great many alumni. A colorful bevy of lovely girls was present at each dance, many of whom were brought by the members of the class of '35, noted for its numerous smoothies. Around and around the young Saints tripped the light fantastic with their charming partners, showing the latest style in dance steps. At the intermission, the dancers were requested not to leave the gym, and refreshments were served in the back room. After several novelty numbers by the orchestra, which received loud applause, and a few last waltzes, the dances came to a close with everyone clamoring for more music. .75.

TOWERS JUNIOR MISSIONARY SOCIETY We felt really bereaved when Mr. Mayo, on his last visit, told us that our adopted boy, Sam Wheeler, had graduated from the Blue Ridge Industrial School. Helping to educate one of these boys is the cause in which our Missionary Society has always been most interested, so that no time was lost in adopting another boy. As he is only six years old, we can feel that that item of our budget is settled for at least ten years. livery boy in the School is a member ol' the Missionary Society and contributes to it. Some ol' the ollerings come out ol savings, some out olf weekly allowances, and a good amount this winter came from the shoveling away of some of the alI-too- plentiful snow. Wherever the money comes from, it is only a small part of what we should like to be able to give to further the work which is being done hy Mr. Mayo, Dr. Montague, Mr. Iirydon, and others. The olhcers for 1955-36 were: Noland Carter, President, and Reynolds Towers, Secretary. They both won the respect of the School for the way in which they con- ducted the meetings. Y JUNIOR LITERARY SOCIETIES The monthly meetings of the Junior Lee and Iunior Iaeltson Literary Societies continue to be the most interesting events in the Lower School. It seems hard to believe that societies bearing these names can maintain such bitter and unrelenting rivalry, but the fire of determination to win for the Lees or the Iacksonsf' as the case may be, gleams in every eye, whether it be a Primer eye or Fifth Form eye, when a boy comes up for his deelamation. Unfortunately, deter- mination cannot Win for two sides at the same time, and the Lees had to see the cup borne oil: by a Jackson president for the second successive year. The ofhcers elected by the Iaeksons were: A. S. Brinkley, Ir., President, T. R. ig-1 Towers, Vice-President, R. C. Scott, Secretary. Those chosen by the Lees were: I. D. lw zzhigm I'-I Freeman, President, R. B. Satterheld, Vice-President, W. H. Parrish, Secretary. t ' 31 ' in ii I'-T i' Vx if , tx lx t .I V, ,lid 1 -1 LOWER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES On Tuesday, September 10, nineteen new boys were enrolled. Ames, Binswanger. llrowne, Clark, W. F. Ewart, A. Ruflin, T. A. Sauer, Schmidt, T. C. Scott, and Taylor entered the upper forms, in addition to DesPortes, R. VV. Iiwart, Jackson, Marks, Randolph, E. S. Rullin, D. F. Sauer, I. H. Scott, and Toms, who made up the First and Primer Forms. Both old and new boys assembled for classes on Wednesday, September ll. We are sorry not to have Beattie, Kennon, Merriam, and Tyson with us this session. Under the splendid leadership ol' Miss I-lcnderson, our principal, the Lower School has had an unusually successful year. The teachers of the Second, Third, and Fourth Forms and of art and music are the same as last year. Mrs. Carson teaches the Second Form, Mrs. Bugg, the Third Form, Mrs. Morgan, the Fourth Form: Miss Henderson, the Fifth Form, Mrs. Derieux, Art, and Miss Cowles, Music. We were sorry to lose Miss Leary, but we consider ourselves very fortunate in securing Mrs. Blackwell, who had been with tis for some time as a substitute, to teach the First and Primer Forms. On election clay the following capable ollicers were chosen: Collins, Leader of the School, Moore, First Assistant, and W. I. Parrish, Second Assistant, Carter, President of the junior Missionary Society, and Towers, Secretary, Freeman, President of the lunior Lee Literary Society, Satterfield, Vice-President, and W. H. Parrish, Secretary, Brinkley, President of the Iunior Iackson Literary Societyg DesPortes, Vice-President, later replaced by Towers, and Scott, Secretary. The Christmas Story, the play which was given on Friday, December 20, en- abled each boy in the Fifth Form to have a prominent role. Every boy in school did his part admirably to contribute to the excellent presentation of the play. The Lower School performance of Handicap, given by the St. Kit's Players on the afternoon of Ianuary 17, was greatly enjoyed by the large number of boys who were there. The big snowstorm of February 7 played havoc with the Lower School enroll- ment. Three boys arrived to enjoy the undivided attention of their teachers. The Reading and Declamation Contest, open to boys of the Fifth Form, will be held on May 22. Prizes are awarded on Commencement Day to the winners in sight- reading, prepared reading, and declamation. The outcome of this year's contest is awaited with great interest. We are looking forward also to the track meet, which is the climax of the Lower School athletic activities, conducted under the direction of Mr. Bailey, who replaced Mr. Vial after the Christmas holidays. One of the most enjoyable events at the close of the school year is the annual art exhibit. Under the instruction of Mrs. Derieux, the boys create many interesting artistic objects. All these are placed in the gymnasium for the boys, their parents, and their friends to see. On Iune 4, the Lower School bnals are held. Commencement means the begin- ning ofa new school life in the Upper School for the Fifth Form. Yet, in spite of the excitement of prizes and promotions, it is a time of regret. The happy days spent at the Lower School are ended. Football Team Basketball Team LOWER SCHOOL ATHLETICS Having made decided progress in all things athletic during the past session, the younger boys in red and grey put on the Held one of the finest teams ever to represent the Lower School in football. Although the West Avenue Gang proved to be too much for our boys, they defeated the Fleas of the Upper School in two games out of three. Before basketball season opened, Coach Vial accepted a position elsewhere, and Coach Bailey took up his duties. It was with a great deal of sorrow that the boys bid farewell to the man who had done so much to develop interest in Lower School athletics. The basketball boys, in spite of the fact that several of the best members of the squad were prevented from engaging in any games on account of sickness, showed themselves to be plucky fellows, and won two games from the Upper School Fleas and lost only one. The team sent to St. Christopher's to represent the Community Center became an easy prey to the accurate shooting of Cardozo, Satterfield, and Moore on our home court. At this time, four teams are competing for the baseball trophy that was won last vear by the Yankees. Although several of last year's Yankees are back in their regu- lar places, the other teams are determined to show them that they cannot again obtain the coveted prize. The track carnival held last year was a great success. Collins, a Fourth Former, was high scorer with a total of 23 points to his creditg B. Carter scored 21M pointsg VVilliams, 18M pointsg Kennon, 16 points, Duffey, 12 points. The track stars of the Lower School will be out again this season to beat these records. f ,ii ...-ff ra I ff:- F?-E. , A ,fi rifyj .alta A' 1 1 ,p . p lfj ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Perhaps you have found the eleventh volume of RAI's AND TAPS to your liking, perhaps not, but no matter what your opinion, there was a great deal of time and effort spent on this publication.

The lamp of time is burning low, Cold ufinter's blasts are gone, and spring has sped. Now warm, gold fragrance marks a sum mer's morn When school is o'er,' the halls, deserted, dead. Aha, you gloat, My toil is at an end, Bright summer lies before me, autumn cool, And yet--and yet-your heart goes baclq once more, Treasurin g the memories of this, your school. Open this book again, some far-of day, Poor and mistake-filled, trite, at times inane, But if it malqes you smile, we will not feel That 106,06 compiled and printed it in vain. -P. L.

He is a person who is going to carry on what you have started. He is to sit right where you are sitting when you are gone and attend to those things you think are so important. You may make all the plans you please, but how they will be carried out depends upon him. Even if you make leagues and treaties, he will have to manage them. He is going to sit at your desk in the Senate, and occupy your place on the Supreme Bench. He will assume control of your cities, states and nation. He is going to move in and take over your churches, schools, universities and corpora- tions. All your work is going to be praised or con- demned by him. All your work is for him, and the fate of the nation and of humanity is in his hands. So it may be as well to pay him some attention. .85. ------.....-.............+ 'wiiaiwiiws Q !
