It's Pee- Wee VVightman with a good-natnred grin spread across lIis face. Pee-VVee has been amongst us for a long time now, and next year when Wighty's face fails to appear, there will be no joy in Mudville. .'iWiHlIty, despite his slightness of stature, has proved nnself a real man. On the gridiron he has worked faith- fully and played good football: only his size prevented him from making a letter. III baseball last year it was the same thing. but, if we guess correctly, it will be a difierent story tlIis year. As distribution manager of tlIe Pim' Neville he has done an excellent job. He has directed the photographic deDartmeIIt of Raju and Taps, and of this we need say no more for the evidence lies before you h Putting all he has iIIto everything he undertakes, uN'VliIlIty keeps plugging along, wlIile others fall by the wayside. Grit and perseverance are his most dominant Characteristics, and these are the qualities that will stand him in good stead in college and in later life. Pee-NVee is going to Virginia next year. and, believe you me, we'll miss him. XVell, so loIIg, XVighty. XVe know that we will hear more from you later. 14 YEARS I'tlir.rifn1ury SorirI,v: Let' Sorivl3',' lflru Football Squad, '29g Flea l tfo'lIulI 'I'4'um, 'SUQ flllllitll' I m,1Imll ,Skpmfll 212: j,,,,f0,- 1r,,0,l,,,H 'll1'11H1.

VVell, you know the rest. Both St. Christopher's and john Minor have grown IIp to- gether-and above is john Minorg the School is still in the same place. Handsome, modest, a natural-born athlete, and a jolly good fellow. john Minor stands high in the estimation of lIis fellow students. liver gay and happy, lIe does much to keep his friends ill high spirits. 'I'hough john is not particularly a scholar, he is a ver-- satile and brilliant athlete. lle captained the '36 track team this spring, and, undertaking basketball for the first time in his career, played forward on the team. Irlis line Dllllllflllg flllll blocking form the fullback position on the Saint's ,SS football edition was splendid. Now, sad to say, after a long sojourn at St. Christ0pher's, john must leave us to go to the University of Virginia, where he will study to become a doctor. Wle hate to see you go, johnny, but wlIat can we do, except wish you the best o' luck.
