We but Ill the hearts of his classmates as well. have here a lad who has profited well during his four years at St. Christopher's. Endowed with a constant good humor and a happy nature, Pate has won a place in the hearts of teachers and boys alike. Always cheerful and playful, he Jim showed promise of being an all-around athlete from the very first, and his records on the lower teams are Hood evidence. Hut for an unfortunate accident which kept him inactive in sports for almost a full year, he would have come into his own sooner. However, this year he was not. to be denied, and he has won Varsity Cs in three YIWJUI' sports. In football especially we remember his bril- liant performance during the season as one of the flashiest is a hard worker and a credit to the School. Although Armistead is sometimes the despair of his teachers in the classroom, he is the answer to a coaeh's prayer on the athletic field.

In track his record is equally as bright 3 he is the best high hurdler the School has known. and he took second place in the State meet last year. backs the School has ever had.

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.

One u1ore senior steps forward to receive his parole, after having served his term of punishment. 'Mac gets out a couple of years sooner than many of the old timers on ac- count of good behavior. 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.

A lthfugh Dick has been at School only two years, he has made himself very popular with every one. His lightheart- edness and modesty make lIim extremely likable. He is COII- scientious in his work, whether it be scholastic or athletic. This year Dick played tackle on the football team. Although hampered throughout the season by a bad knee injury, lIe was one of the mainstays of our line. Ullillllc to participate in basketball after an operation on lIis knee, Dick bent his efforts to the next best thing, that of sup- porting tlIe Red and Grey teams. His loud, booming voice encouraged the basketball team to keep fighting throughout a tough seasoII, and at times inspired it to great heights. As to Dick's social life, we know very little, as he is a l!'IZll'!lCI'Q but we do know that he always gets his share of lllilll every morning.
