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.

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.
