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.
