Ah. lIere we see the celebrated visage of noIIe other than Hanghton Leary, better kIIowII to his fellow-sufferers as Spike lintering the Lower School when the athletic held was a trackless jungle in the dim dawII of time, Spike has steadily forged his way to the top of the graduating class of '36. His ready wit and magnetic personality have made him an invaluable asset to St. Christopher's School. in his studies, Spike has always been among tlIe leaders of his class. His compositions are the pride and solace of his teachers and the envy of his less fortunate class- mates. Nor is Spikes ability limited to the held of scholastic- ism. He was a handy middle distance runner on the track squad of '36 and was a hard hghting end on the football squad of '35, Spike plans to enter the ancestral halls of the Uni- versity of Virginia next year, after his highly laudable matriculation here. Wherever he goes, with him go the warmest wishes of the boys of St. Christopher's, and we are looking forward to greeting Spike as one of our most distinguished alumni at some near time in the future. Best 0' luck, 'Spike,' we're all for you I HARRY TAYLOR MARSHALL, JR. czl'IAIu,o'I I'IzsvII.I,I2, VIRGINIA 6 vimus .lurlrxnll l.l.lf'I'tH'V .S'm'iI'fy: .'lli.v.rioIIi1I'y Sm'I'vl3': Flm l rInilI1IlI Sstllfllfi, '30, lfnllfmli lfmllbull .S'IlI1ud, '3lZ Jllllllll' Footlmll, '32, '33, Vorsily lfnotlmll XIIIIIIII, '34, Vuizvfly Ihmllvlill Tram, '35, .fllllfllf I?rI.vrbIIlI Stlllllff, '32, 'l'rm-L' Sqnml, '33, '34, I'lIIIImyIr'r n!I.Tl'f711lf, '36, Sliirlrizt Iloum- 1'onIuIil!I'r, '36, Ilruinalii' Club, '33, '34, '35, '36, l'rI'.r1'ih'nl lpftllllllfft' f'lI1b, '36, l,l'Il1' Neville Stuff, '35, Co-Iirlitnr 'I'ine N1'I'Iil1', '36, ljhrrurv Truim, '36, Nonchalant, gay yet pensive, a swell companion, is Harry Marshall. Six years ago, he made his first appearance among the inmates of the boarding department. wearing a big overcoat and a monstrous gray felt hat. which filled lIis roommates with awe and wonder. He was just a kid. But Harry grew, and, as he grew, the Harry we know today began to come into being. lt was soon evident that Handsome llarry had great capabilities, Although not particularly athletically in- clined llarry won his C in football last fall. Harry early proved himself a scholar of no mean ability, and he has maintained this reputation throughout the years. Harry has entered zcalously into school life, exhibiting tremendous ability and williIIgIIess to use it. He was ap- pointed to the Honor Committee last year at commence- ment, his work behind the footlights has been of tlIe best, and this year he was President of the Dramatic Club, as well as Co-editor of the Pine Needle. Harry has made many fast friends here, who will follow him through later life. The best of luck, Harry! You will he a credit to the University. ,

Boll, a dashing young swain of Ginter Park, en- tered St. Christopher's two years ago. He early proved himself capable and soon hecame Ullll of the SclIool's out- standing students. 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. Boll is also an enthusiastic participant iII small boat sailing. Another of Boh's hohhics is music. He hlows tlIe trumpet, llllfl he has got so good, we hear, that tlIe neighbors ceased to complain. Bob is going to the University of Virginia next year, and we feel sure that his studiousness will COIltillLlC to bring renown to his alma mater.

However, everybody has seen Halley on the stage aIId recognizes lIis exceptional ability as an actor. For three years he has trod the boards for the St. Kit's Players, and in every production his performance has been outstanding. By his versatility he has shown himself to be a real trouper.

Two years ago Crosby arrived at School, timidly took his place among tlIe other boys and, though hc said 110i H W0l'fl, immediately won tlIe llC1lI'tS of both students flllfl faculty hy lIis hearty laugh and I3CI'CIllli2ll good lIIImor. Bing possesses bulklog tenacity, and, whether he is working a math problem or rIInning the four-forty, lIe just won't quit. ln his studies he is a lIard worker and 011 tllC gridiron a shifty ruIIner. But for his weight we would have heard great things from lllll'l in football. Bing is a Hashy forward oII tlIe basketball court and an excellent man ill track. VVe do not know much of Bing's social life, bIIt oc- casionally we hear the sharp toot of a horn, and Crosby rolls by in a Buick with one or two beautiful CIZIIIISCIS beside lIinI. No Inatter lIow doleful his Slll'l 0lllltlIl1f.fS, yoII will always hnd Bing laughing aIId smiling, and having a general good time. Although not very proficient iII the much- eIIvied taleIIt of lIis well-known namesake, Bing's lively personality affords just as much eIItertainmeIIt aIId pleasure as any crooncr. Crosby tells us that he is going to the Institute next year. XVell, V. M. I. you're gettiIIg a good man-we're losiIIg oIIe.
