For two years hc lIas faithfully aIId nobly tickled the ivories at every l11Ul'IlilIg assembly, and has always succcded iII wringing a song from tlIe relIIctaIIt boys. Ile deserves great CUl11ll1CllKlZltl0l1 for the way he has doIIe this thankless job, for wlIielI he receives no recognition except when he strikes a sour note. 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. I-lis first part was that of tlIe leading lady iII tlIe IIottcn- tot. ' .Ile then took tlIe difficult role of Alexander, tlIe HIRHICIZIIIIS assistant, iII the Spidcr. III l Iandicap he stole the slIow as the hipswitching Bowery gal. III jour- ney's End he gave aII excellent characterization of young Raleigh. Perhaps lidgar may become :I great actor some flflbk IW' llC undoubtedly has exceptional talent in tlIis line. I -- ,. I ,, h . . . . .

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.

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.

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. ,

St. Cln'istophcr's is losing this year Kimber N. Moran, of tharlottesville, better known as Kim to de boys. Few people make such a favorable impression on others as does Kim, and the more one sees of him the greater becomes his respect for him. He is a boy of many talents, taking n lively interest in everything, whether it be atllletics, his studies, dramatics, or music. Kim's outstanding characteristic is his adaptability. Ile can adapt himself to aIIy occasion. Ile can be serious with the most serious-minded scholars or laugh with the most light-hearted jokesters. Being extremely polite and helpful, Kim will IIot find it hard to get along with others XVllCll he gets out into the world. Kim, although of slight statue, proved to be a really good athlete, making his letter in junior football with hon- ors. Ile undoubtedly would have made his letter on the varsity team, but unfortunately adverse conditions prevent- ed this. This year Kim joined the ranks of the St, Kit's Play- ers. lle made an exceptionally good actor, or rather arlrr'.v.r, as his rendition of a young girl was subtle and well portrayed. Kim is going' to the University of Virginia to further prepare himself for the great game of life.

VVC, members of this House of Correction, have long enjoyed his beaming face, his inces- sant chatter, and his fighting spirit, and now, with a lump in our throats. we must bid him adieu, as he leaves for Princeton next year. All joking aside, it will be a great loss to St. Christo- pher's when Mac leaves next year for Princeton. He has become a landmark at dear old St. C., and has taken a definite place in the School activities. Member of thc Honor Committee, Treasurer of the Missionary Society. Business Manager of lx'afi.v and 'l'afv.v, Captain of '36 Bas- ketball Team are just a few of the honors that have been bestowed upon him. Mac is always cheerful, happy, humorous, Killd and helpful. Consequently, he is one of the best-liked boys in the School. Mac has won much fame by his prowess in athletics. He starred on the football team this fall, has been one of the mainstays on tlIe basketball and tennis teams for the past two years, and this yeaI', having taken up baseball, he will undoubtedly play in tlIe inheld of the varsity nine.
