For this book was made By hot brains searching in so many ways So many thoughts, by dream and care we prayed, By hght, by peace, by scorn and some small praise . . . That way, we wrote it. When you turn the page You,ll start og smoothly where we found rough going- - Where we have built the road not easily, But in our care and pain- We take, for wage, Forgiveness for our sins, so you'll be knowing We wrought our best for you and all to see. -J.

We aimed at nothing higher, and hoped for nothing less. From May until late Autumn, Richmond will celebrate her Bi-centennial. In creating this book we have reverted to the policy of former volumes of RAPS AND TAPS by selecting as a theme a patriotic event that will be of interest to our readers. Richmond, the grand old city of the South, we salute you.' .7. TO Mr. E. Randolph Williams Chairman, Local Board of St. Christopher?

Post Graduates 'Iii- For the second time in the history of the school, we are blessed with a post-graduate form. These three boys, er-men, gradu- ated last year, but they loved the school so well that they re- turned to the thankless grind for another year. The serious- minded old gentlemen believe that the additional experience they have gained this year will be of great value to them in college. In fact they feel that eighth form work is an undeniable addition to the educational facilities offered by St. Christophers. These three have stuck as close together this year as Dumas' Three Musketeers. Next year, however, they will be scattered along the Atlantic Seaboard, each intending to follow a different line of study. Slator Blackiston is headed for Princeton, where he will study Electrical Engineering, with a final aim of enter- ing the shipping business. Bob Henley is to go to the Uni- versity of Virginia for academic work and then to Yale and Oxford to study law. Charlie Stringfellow is planning to spe- cialize in Electrical Engineering, a vocation for which he is exceptionally well fitted, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. VVI1atever may be the ultimate fortune of the 1937 P. G.'s, they have added something to-school life, and have been benefitted in that they have been able to definitely make up their minds as to what their life's work will be. - aaasassas-aaaaaasasasas QW! ixllfs' ff ??

IQADIES an' gent'men-I give you none other than that heartbreaker, that smoothie from Ginter Park, Mr. VVyndhan1 Blanton, whose amorous escapades were hnally checked, when, alter many years as a day student, he enrolled in the boarding department ol' St. Christopher's. But XfVimpy is not wholly inclined in this manner. His rating as a scholar and athlete is fully as high as his reputation as a lover. In football he has been a mainstay in the line for two years and it will be a hard task to replace him next fall. He has dabbled in basketball, baseball, and track, but he did not excel in these sports. As business manager ol' the Pimf Nrfarllaf he turned in an excellent performance. Likewise, he held an important position on the stall' ol' Rmfs AND Tiws, So, you see, Mr. Blanton is quite a versatile fellow, and his successes run in varied lines. Next year, VVimpy travels north to distant YfVilliams. I-Ie has been amongst us for a long sojurn, and St, C. will not be the same old place when l1e fails to appear next fall. It is certain that we shall hear more from Smoocher Blanton of VVilliams. v v v v v ' v , , ,54Vlf's'l' 'lcaffl VME? ,?f2H'f?

READER, least yoIIr gaze upon this smiling countenance. Wot ye whose it is? Reader, bow your humble head in reverence, for 'tis none other than that of Pleasanton Lowndes Richard Conquest III, writer, poet, journalist, humorist, actor, clown, orator, reader, and baseball player, extraordinary. For ll long years he has kept his fellow inmates here at Saint Christopher's amused with his effortless and side-splitting humor, his love of fun, and his ability to spin wild and wooly yarns. Nor does his talent for entertainment stop with his humorous nature, for as an actor he has rated high in every play in which he has appeared. Furthermore, he has an inborn literary ability which evinees itself not only in the form ol' excellent prose, but also in poetry equally as meritorious. As an athlete he has done little, although he has clung tenaeiously to baseball from the start, and plays a very passable game olf tennis. He is indisputably the best reader in the school, and has also proved himself worthy in deelamations and debates. Next year Connie plans to further his literary pursuits at the University of Virginia. And so it is with genuine regret that St. C. says farewell to one of its favorite sons. LUKE DE WOLF DRURY, R.

LUKE DRURY is admired, respected and liked by every one at St. Christo- pher's, from the lowest form to the highest. His most notable characteristic is leadership. Look at the long list ol' honors which he has won. It is unnecessary to say more. For four years Luke has been a powerful asset to the football team. I-Ie has been on two ol' the St. C. City-Champion teams, on the All-City and All-State lirst teams for the past two years, and for the last two years has been captain ol' the Red and Gray clevens. Proving his real ability during the '37 season, Drury has been a regttlar on the basketball team for two years, and a main-stay ol' the track team I'or three years. Do not think for an instant that Cap'n Luke's able leadership ceases when he leaves the athletic lield: it hardly begins there. For three years he has been a member ol' the student honor committee, and during the last two years has served as its chairman. Among his many other oflices are: President ol' Monogram Club, Vice-President in charge ol' silence ol' the Mood Club , Secretary ol' the Missionary Society, and Secretary ol' the Jackson Society. Luke has not as yet decided where he will go to college, but no matter what his destination may be, we will hear more about him. litlffltlhffl SEI? ,wmzgtf t ' f Y ff f Zz' strife, it ,Q Q 'tif sit 523 g, .ea:g.

HE CLASS ol '37 has a no more distinctive personality than Frank Dunham. Rudy has the honor of being the charter member and Business Manager supreme ol this glorious congregation ol' graduates. He has managed every- thing under the sun-plays, publications, athletic teams, girls, and Christmas Seal games. Some day we expect to see Mr. Dunham behind the president's desk of some great concern, the ablest business man in all America. In his studies and in anything else he undertakes, Rudy is a hard and conscientious worker. ln his connection with the Dramatic Club, he has done especially good work, serving both as business manager of tlIe program and as an actor, turning in hne performances in The Queenis' I-Iuslulull and The Glmsl Train. Frank is also a member ol' the Monogram Club, having received his letter as manager ol' Basketball. In other of his odd moments, when he is not acting his part ol' the best dressed boy in the school, or enchanting the inInates with his rendition of the latest popular song, Rudy does yeomanlike service as a member ol' the Pine Needle stallf, and a director of the Missonary Society. Frank, old boy, we sure hate to see you gog but twelve years is a long time, and all good things must come to an end. aeasaitamgstaaeaeeaaa .Ia HENRY GUERRANT 15I,l,ETT, JR.

During this long period I-Ienry has distinguished himsell' in many ways and has won for himself, by universal consent, the right to be called a scholar and a gentle- man and an all-round good guy. Henry was voted the most ambitious boy in school, and he is indeed quite a determined and hard-working fellow. I-Ie gave prool' of it by his work as business manager ol' Riws Ann Tiws. He showed it conclusively by his activities on the gridiron, where his grit and persistence made him a man to be feared in no small degree hy his opponents. I-Ie gave evidence olf it in many Ways which we have not space to enumerate here. But be not deceived into thinking that Henry is overly seriousminded. His witt.y remarks and constant good humor are in a large degree responsible for his popularity among the boys at school. And so we are certain that Henry's unusual talents in the line of business and economics, plus his determination, winning personality, and good old horse- sense will carry him lar as a business man.

His talents do not lie, as do those of many, on the athletic Iield. Here, handicapped by a rather small build, he has never shown much interest. It is in the field of line arts that he excels. David is a line actor, He has taken part in the school plays lor the last three years. As a character actor he is at his best. In this sort of role, he turned in especially line performances in jmtrm:y's Emi, The f2'1lUlf7I,,S Hizslumfl, and The Ghost Train. As a writer he has shown marked ability: as the Dean has often said, he has a natural literary rflllalus. D, M. is also a line reader, reaching the linals in the Matthew Page Andrews reading contest. As an artist, he is no less gifted. The artistic work that adorns the title page of this book is his handiwork, as are many olf the drawings in last year's RAvs AND Tfxvs. He is also a lover of classical music, being the proud possessor of one of the Iinest collections of operatic recordings in Virginia. Besides his many artistic interests, Greene is quite a wit, His column in the Pimf Neerlla, Dal'fynitions, attained widespread fame for its humor and originality. All in all, David is a regular fellow and will be sorely missed next year. ff is P CHARLES ELLIS H UTCI-IINSON INDIAN NECK, VIRGINIA 6 years jnclison Socicly: JlfiSSfUIlIlI V Socir'ly: M izlgrl Foollmll Squad, '3l: junior Foollmll Sqrlml, '323 junior Ifnxzflmll 1l!'IIlll, '33: I'nrsily lfoollmll Squad, '33, '31, '35, '36: I'ar.x'ily linsnlmll Team.

SIX YEARS ago Charles I-Iutchinson, better known as I-Iutch, entered St. Christopher's as a member of the boarding department. I-Ie hails from Indian Neck, Va.,a small town, which since his entrance to school, has become well-known to all the students. Charlie has shown greater ability on the diamond than in his studies. I-Ie has played baseball for four years and for the past two has captained the varsity nine. His performances on the mound are praised by everyone and to Inm is due the major share of the credit for the showing made by last year's team. Because of his quiet and unassuming manner, and unfailing loyalty to his friends, Hutch is one of the most popular members of the boarding department. Many a St. Christopher boarder is grateful to Hutchinson for standing staunchly by him al a time of trouble or lending a helping hand for extricating him from his difficulty. Hutch played football on the midgets for one year, the juniors for two and scrubbed on the varsity for three. I-Ie was also a director of the Missionary Society and a member of the Jackson Literary Society. Charlie is undetermined as to his plans for the future but has given some thought to entering either Hampden-Sydney or V. P. I.

CrXTESBY entered St. Cln'istopher's six long years ago, when the Tiber was a little stream and the new gymnasium a lorlorn pipe dream. Since then Casey has become a fixture in the school and moreover its foremost politician. I-Ie will argue about any and everything and is especially adamant in his defense ol' Roosevelt and the New Deal. Regardless of all this, Casey has done much l'or the school. He has performed on every football team in the upper school and this year was a first-stringer on varsity, where he proved to be a mainstay in the line. He has also played on numerous Saint baseball teams and has been for three years a member of Coach Green's highly touted track squad. In the literary field Catesby has excelled also-being a contributor to both the Pine Neville and Rrxvs AND TAPS for a number ol years.

SUCH ARE the diversity and multiplicity of the talents of this exceptional Senior that it would be well-nigh impossible to discuss them completely within a limited space. Pick possesses to an unparallelled degree ability in athletic, scholastic, and literary lines. Star player on the football, basketball, and base- ball teams, captain of the basket ball team, captain-elect of the football team, co-editor-in-chief of IQAPS ANI: '1lAl'S, president of the Jackson Literary Society, member of the Student Honor Committee, winner of the Matthew Page Andrews reading prize, and so on-but where shall we stop? VVC might easily suppose, from such an imposing list of accomplishments, that junio should be suffering from a severe enlargement of the uranium, Yet such is far from the case. With all his outstanding achievements, he is still pretty much the same playful, carefree, witty, yet somewhat bashful boy who entered the Lower School some ten years ago. And so Junie is well-liked by all at St. Christopher's, and indeed was voted by the students the most popular boy in school. Therefore, when .Iuuie follows brother John to Princeton and takes his talents with him, St. C. must regretfully say, Hail and farewell! 932999 9 QQQQF 9 9 if 9 9 4 4 Ik 4 4 4 CHARLES LATHROP REED RICI-IRIOND, v1RGlN1A I2 y1fIH'S Len S0ci1'ly,' S1'rr1'lnry of Len Soriely, '36: 1'n'.vi1l1'nl of Lee Sociely, '37: Missionary Sur'ir'ly: IJi1'r'1'Im' nf Missionary Snciely, '371 l l1'l1 lfrmllmll, '30, '3l: Midge!

CIHARLES Lathrop Reed, the last of the illustrious Reed clan, has been ap- pearing on the St. Christopher campus, late or otherwise, every morning for the past twelve years. Right through from the Primer form to the group of Seniors you see before you, he has come and has in his travels upward blazed a trail which can never be blotted out. From the very beginning of his associations with other boys, Mr. ' Reed has taken the front. He has proved himself a born leader. He was Vice- President of the Lee Literary Society in his junior year, and as President this year led his society to a remarkable victory over the Jacksons. He has also been a faithful contributor to both of the school publications for the past two years. Although lighthearted and carefree by nature, Charley has a more serious side and no one in the Graduating Class has a higher sense of responsibility. Charley l1as always partaken in sports. No varsity squad would be com- plete without him. He was a mainstay on the Green Wave of football fame, and in baseball could always be depended upon for the winning single. Lay is what is connnonly known as a scholar and a gentleman. Liked by all his instructors, admired and respected by his schoolmates, he has left an indelible mark in the history of St. Christophers School. ie 5. WTIILIAM GREGORY RENNOLDS, JR.

E PRESENT for your acclamation Henry Lee Staples, the man who has built a library from the prizes he has won at the last eleven St. C. commence- ments. How often we have envied this boy who with no apparent ellort can accomplish in a moment what we must struggle for hours to do hall' as well. The intellectual force ol' Henry Lee has been felt in every branch ol' mental endeavor-in literary societies, publications, school work, coaching and dramatics. Henry Lee has been responsible lor changing the front page makeup of the Pine Needle and has thus made the periodical compatible with modern trends in newspaper work. Likewise his comprehensive grasp of school life has imbued the editorials ol' the Pine Nemlleu with a pungency that assures their being read by every student. Many ol' the senior write-ups in this book were graced by the pen of Henry Lee. He has served the athletic teams well in managerial capacities, and in addition was a pitcher on the '36 -Iunior baseball team. A great number of his fellow-graduates were helped by him to make the grade, Henry Lee being unsellish enough to share his grey matter with others. Next year Cavick is oil to Princeton University. Doubtless there he will immediately rise to the great heights he has gained at St. Christophefs. .26. THOMAS BOYD TALIAFERRO, JR.

BEFORE you is the face of one of our handsomest-T. Boyd Taliaferro, from down Tappahannock way. Happy-go-lucky, good-humored, carefree in leisure hours, but serious, hard-working, and conscientious when work is to be done-that's Boyd. He might well get by on his good looks alone, but all of his friends around school know well that he has no such intention. We often see him with a determined look on his face, a look that reveals he is concentrating his efforts on something of importance. As electrician and back- stage handy man, he worked like a Trojan and had an important part in making the last few productions of the St. l4.it's players smooth performances. For his services in this line, he was awarded a pin by the Dramatic Club. Boyd's cheerful and friendly manner have won him many' friends at St. C., and it is very regretfully that we bid him Adieu, bon Voyage, and Bonne chance as he leaves us to continue his education at the University of Maryland. We know that whatever he decides to undertake there or wherever he may go afterwards, he will make a go of it. asaaasaaaaagyssasaaaaaaaa IVARREN TAYLOR VAUGHAN, JR.

HERE WE have one of the great and illustrious Vaughan clan. WVarren's outstanding and many-sided talents plus his willingness and readiness to apply them have made him one ol' our most accomplished Seniors. When problems arise that make most ol' us sweat and tear our hair, Warren solves them with no apparent ellort, at all, and when a need for a hard worker arises, he is always ready to do much more than his share. In enumerating his many accomplishments, we scarcely know where to begin. Scholastically he has always stood with the highest. In the literary line, he served the Pine Nmfzllzf well in the position olf Literary Editor and as a writer was the peer ol' any one on the stall. The snapshots that bedeck the pages ol' this volume testify to his ability in the photographic line. Although he took no leading roles in the St. Kits' productions, the Dramatic Club owes him a debt ol gratitude for his service in business management and in bit parts. He is exceptionally talented in the lield ol' music, having ability to play almost any musical instrument. In athletics he has participated in football, basketball, baseball, and track. His constant good humor and willingness to help the other fellow have made him universally well-liked. Congratulations to Harvard on getting one of the best ol This Year's Crop ol Seniors!

AISOXIE, you sec tl1e visage olf a boy who has always had the interests of St. Christopl1er's School at heart. Pee-WVee has been with us for over a decade IIOW, and it is with no little reluctance that we give him up. In spite of his slightness of stature, John has proved himself a man olf courage and earnestncss. In football he was l1indered by injuries which would have made most of us I'old up, but not Wighty. He stuck in there Hrockin' 'em and sockin' 'CIILH and by the end olf tl1e season he was a mainstay in tl1e backlield. In baseball he displayed this same spirit, and as Alternate Captain, helped lead the team through a successful season. As distribution manager of the Pine Nrfmlle l1e was excellent. I11 his studies he has done equally as well. Putting all he has into his every undertaking, John keeps plugging, while others fall by the wayside. Determination and perseverance are l1is prevalent cllaracteristics, and these are tl1e qualities that bring him to the fore. We know we are going to hear much more from Wighty at the University of Virginia. Drop in to see us olten at St. C. next year, Pee-Wee.

And whatever ntay have been said of the others, we can conhdently say ol' VVoodward, he is the greatest Roman ol' them all. Fifteen years he has seen the dormitory lights go out and end another school day. During that era he has waxed strong in all the virtues that make a man and at the same time imparted to school life something of his own sell. Although not an especially serious student, Minor has never had over- much trouble with his schoolwork. I-Ie is in his prime, however, in any lform ol' athletic competition, being at present the only four-letter man in school. During the football season, he kept the spectators on the edges of their seats with his spectacular running and blocking and the utter abandon with which he threw himsell' at the opposing ball-carriers. His lootwork on the gym-floor throughout the basketball season stood the team in good stead. As a baseball player, he a sure-hitting outfielder, and in time ol' emergency, a pitcher. As for his attainments in track-let it suffice to say that he places high in over half the scheduled events of the track meets. Adios, John Minor. You came here, a childg you walk forth, a man. W 'r'W5mmmmmUm Ye Olde Prophecy Twenty Years After, or There Ain? N0 Future in This T IS Spring, 1957, and the artihcial flowers Cgrown by electricityy are blooming brightly on the spacious grill room of the new Hotel Wallie Simpson in Richmond. Your correspondent is sitting on an electric chair drinking a glass of Old Radio Q It will tear your tubes out j and reflect- ing on life in general. Old Radion is the most popular beverage on the market, and its maker, Mr. Rennolds Q Bill to youj, is staggering, no I mean swaggering, up and down the hotel lobby, followed by a host of photographers and newspaper reporters. But wait, who is that gent with the unruly hair, autographing baseballs over in the corner for a flock of kids? Why, it's none other than the old gent, Hutch himself, star hurler of the Yankees of 1957, who with his charming wife, Mabel, is playing host to an admiring throng. Suddenly a terrific crash of discordant music is heard in the distance, as Dave Greene, the mad maestro leads his lads into a stirring march QAndante Cantabile, opus 34 no 1,o72fy1, by Shousej. The famous orchestra leader's hair is even longer than it used to be when he went to school at old St. C. back in '37. In fact it's hard to tell whether he is really underneath it or not, except that every now and then a hand shoots out of the bushes, waves a stick, and the orchestra lapses into even worse discord. Two distinguished looking men in racoon coats arc sitting at the next table, yelling at each other to be heard above the music QPQ. They are from left to right Czar Reed, politician, cigar giver and baby kisser extraordinary and Frankenstein Dunham, boss of the numbers racket. They rise and disappear through the door, arm in arm, the Czar puffing heavily on a Domino, and Dunham waving his free arm in a mag- nanimous gesture that bodes ill for us poor suckers that play the numbers. Lefty Conquest, the Communist leader, and editor of The Red Rag fbanned in 48 states and Alaskaj now shambles up and bums a cigarette, two drinks, and five dollars from your bewildered correspondent, who has been hopelessly amazed by the arguments of Prof. Einstein Staples Qthe voice of reasonj. The Prof. has just been broadcasting his daily talk on Q 'ri Zigi? relativity and the 8th dimension, and is now being led gently but firmly out by his keeper, smiling benignly. Now, over I.he concealed microphone floats the golden voice of Bing lillett, Richmond's reward to winsome wenches. Your correspondent settles down to listen, when a harsh voice sounds in his ear, and turning, he faces T. Catesby QBarnumj jones, owner and proprietor of the world-famous jones, Famous Freak Show. The great T. Catesby is denouncing Boyd Q l'retty Boy j Taliaferro. the commentator with the machine gun voice. The show- 111an claims Pretty Boy said .Iones ought to star in his own show, while Taliaferro asserts T. Catesby offered his wife a life contract. They exit, arguing furiously. Dr. YVarren Vaughan, the surgeon with wandering knife. drifts past concealing a black eye with his handkerchief. He must have taken one candid camera shot too many. Luke Drury, successor to man-mountain Dean, strides past, flexing his mighty muscles and roaring like an enraged gorilla. He is sore because Smoocher Blanton, the playboy lover of the hour, has stolen his harem away. The Smoocher is on the other side of tl1e great room, surrounded by a bevy of beautiful femmes, who are mussing his hair and cooing to him. Perched on the chandelier is john Minor QTarzanj Woodward. He is in a mood, and has been up there for three days. No one knows why. The great acrobat stares moodily down at the people below QYour 'correspondent does not know' why all these old St. C. grads of '37 should be congregated in the lobby of one Hotel, but then this is a class prophecy, so you can't expect to get a history of the Marx Brothers, or why the Tigers won't win again this year.j Again the radio blares unseen This time it is Aunt Molly giving Real good advice to the lovelorn . But, boys, we will let you in on a secret. Aunt Molly is none other than Mr. Irving QPickj Knowles who really should know about women if any- body does. It is growing late. The electric lights are blinking out one by one, and still your correspondent sits and stares into empty space before him. Head janitor Wightman waves a broom at him hopefully, but he does not see it. The best janitor of the best hotel in Richmond tells him he had better go now, because the cops are coming to get Moody Xvoodward off the chan- delier and he might get hurt in the rush. This last stroke is too much, and your correspondent collapses into the insanity he has been verging on since the beginning of this article. He is dragged out flapping his arms, and crow' ing like a rooster. Time staggers on! .,,.. , ,A - MM, ,.f, -' , ' , . . - 1,1 -rv -,119 42 ' ' F 1'--' --f:f'- 1-f-?,'-1'-'vc 'mn ,1 'WW f - 'T':'.

Eighth Form A welcome addition to the School this year is the eighth lorm. Composed ol' a number ol' graduates and near-graduates who wished to take more advanced courses before matriculating at college, this lorm puts St. Cliristopher's on an equal scholastic basis with any other preparatory school in the country. Under the able tutelage ol' Messrs. Bugg, Carson, and Hankins, these hoys have advanced lar into the Iield ol' higher learning and several ol' their courses correspond to second-year college courses. This form is also prominent in other activities ol' St. Christopher's. Among its members are two Varsity Captains, the Chairman and four other members ol' the Student Honor Committee, editors ol the Pina Ncmllrf and Rixrs AND Tars, and tl1e l'resident ol' t.he Dramatic Club, not to mention all the ollicers ol' the Missionary Society and two ollicers ol' the Literary Societies. All ol' its members excel in athletics and one is the only four letter man in school. 'l'hus, the eighth form played an important part in the life ol' St. Christo- -pher's during 1936-37, and we hope this form will become a lJCl'll12l11Clll. part of the school.

Athletically, the Class ol' '37 has distinguished itself, providing the neucleus ol' the varsity athletic .teams and numbering in its midst two varsity captains and one altcrnate-captain. This class also contains two editors and two business managers ol' the school publications and a number ol' excellent writers and artists who have borne the brunt ol' literary work this year. Also, the presidents ol' the literary societies, and l'our councilors ol' the Student Honor Committee are members ol' this illustrious form. Thus, you see, the Class ol' '37 is composed ol' a pretty good bunch ol fellows, and you, O Graduates, may feel confident that you have not only gained some larning but have fulfilled your obligations to Your school!

They undoubtedly constitute the largest conglomeration ol' smoochers ever to exist at St. Christ,opher's. Witness the work of -Iohn Vaughan, Welby Beverley, Carey, Stan Brown,Blackburn. Carrington, and others. This spotless group also contains the greatest living authority on the art of chawin' black-bull tobacky, Tombstone Sale. Despite the fact that these youngsters like the moon-lit hours, there are among them definite glimmerings ol' future might on the athletic lields and in the classrooms. Eight ol' these boys were members of Varsity squads last year. Five of them had a great deal to do wit.h the success of this year's dramatic productions. Another live ol' them were on the publications' stalls. Look at the charming picture above you. Aren't those the szueelrfst Smiles. Don't worry though. These smoothies will be competent leaders when their time comes. .36. F I lfrrnlll3uz1'.lr'IllurigllI.'liill.'l'.

XVIGIITNIAN JOlIN MINOR XVOODNVARIJ There is a tendency today to disparage Honor Systems as being idealistic dreams. That an Honor System is not only practical, but a necessity in a school ol' gentlemen, is evidenced by the success with which it has luiuttioned at St. Clu'isto1ilier's. 'l'hree conditions-the attitude ol' the faculty, the attitude ol' the student body, and the ability and leadership ol' the I-lonor Committee are necessary lor the success ol' any I-Ionor System. This past session the I-Ionor Committee has taken a greater interest in student allairs than ever before. Although small in numbers, the committee has been active and respected. Since the very lirst day ol' school, its paramount desire has been to instill into every boy those l'undamental ideals ol' honor, courtesy, sportmanship, and lortlirightness that have so long characterized every St. Christopher's student. The greatest tribute that can be paid to the committee and its chairman is that it has succeeded admirably in attaining its goal. 30 K xv J AN?

A feeling of anticipation mixed with worry pervades the heart of every student as the inexorable voice intoncs the names of those hapless few who are to be sacrificed at the altar of literature. For the speaker of these cruel words is l.he president of one of our famous literary societies, the Lee and the Jackson. 'I-Iowever. the Lee and Jackson Societies, honorable opponents for 23 long years, are probably of more beneht to the students of St. Christopher's than any of the other organizations. They give the students valuable practice in speaking before a critical fto say the' leastj audience, and although the boys hate to be put up , they realize the lasting benefit derived from participation in the meets. igtattsafaaaaaatgafattafaa L- D.

Each boy should feel gratified that his money has gone to these good causes. The devotional meetings, which are held one Sunday night in each month. have been well attended by the boys, and have attracted outside interest. These meetings were very ably presided over by the ollicers of the Society. Such splendid men as Reverend Beverley M. Boyd, Dr. R. Cary Montague, Reverend Dr. Alexander C.

No longer does Director Loving have to tear his hair, wondering where and how the next production is to be given. It is fitting to add that the Club is deeply grateful, to those patrons of the school who have had so much to do with making its offerings so successful. The seventeenth production of the Players, the f'Queen's H11sl11m1l, a three-act comedy by Robert Sherwood, was presented Friday night, December 18. P. L. Conquest took the leading role as Eric Vlll, king of a mythical king- dom, who defied his parliament and his wife, and settled a grievous matter to the satisfaction of all. Others in the cast were David Greene, as Phipps, the footman: Tommy Johns, as the Princess Anne: Robert I-Ienley, as Granton, the wooer and finally the husband of Anne: Bill Rennolds, as Northrup the prime-minister: Frank Dunham as Birten, the foreign minister: Stan Brown, as the charming but insufficient queen: Glass and Leonard Blackburn as radi- cals: de Neumann, as the unattractive nobleman, and finally YVarren Vaughan, the major-domo of the palace. The next performance of the Club was The films! Train by Arnold Rudley, given on March I9 before an audience of more than 5oo persons. An attractive program was pubished for the occasion. The plot of the play revolved around the story of a ghost train which ran down the tracks each night and would strike dead anyone who saw it. ln the cast were David Greene, the station master: Bob I-fenley and Stan Brown, Bill Rennolds and jimmy Gordon, the married couples: de Neumann the detective: Edward Gregory, the spinster: Peirpont Buck as the villainess: Leonard Blackburn and Frank Dunham as the villains: and Vaughan, Conquest, and Glass, more detectives. 4...-nd Monogram Club Miss Carolina' Cox, SPUIIXYI7' J.

The library has proved to be an excellent aid to everyone, and especially to the boarders who have whiled away many leisure hours in this comfortable, cheery room. Under the guiding hand of Mrs. Green, it has increased steadily from an alnateurish collection ol' a few hundred books to an up-to-date library of many thousand volumes which have been carefully selected and classified so as to render the greatest possible assistance to the student. Thus, the Memorial Library has proved an excellent addition to St. Christopher's lor the past decade and we feel sure that it will be of even more beneht in the future.

The city was doomed. By mid- night there was a fearful uproar and highways were choked by fleeing people and their goods. Flames and lawless mobs swept the town. The whole scene was one of utter confusion. The next day the Federal Army marched up Main Street through smoking ruins. Richmond had fallen. Hugh C. Brenaman DIRECTOR A 'r H I. 14: 'r I C S I For fourteen years Coach has guided the destiny of the St. Christopher's athletic teams, and credit for anything they have accomplished is wholly due to l1im. He has not spent these fourteen years merely molding athletic teams: in fact, he has utilized the majority of this time in molding the characters of those he coached. In no small degree is he responsible for the line sense ol' sportsmanship, honor, and fair play which is typical of a St. Christopher's boy. It is useless to eulogize Mr. Brenaman's ability as a coach for the records of his teams speak louder than words. For example, in the last live years the St. Christopher's football team has won 28, lost 5 and tied 6 games-winning the City Championship 3 years. This is an enviable record for any coach, but when it is taken into consideration that this was done witl1 limited resources and manpower, such a record seems almost unbelievable. However, nothing is impossible to Coach in the athletic line-he is almost super-human. It is beyond the power of Rails AND TA1'S to express the appreciation of the students and alumi-all who have come in contact with him-to Coach Brenaman who has done so much lor St. Cl1l'lSl0lJl1C1'lS.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The Season The 1936 St. Christopher football eleven opened the season on October 3rd in an auspiciotts manner by downing a comparatively inexperienced Woodberry aggregation I3-0. The Woodberry boys never threatened alter the hrst few minutes of play, although the Saints did not play l0p- notch ball. Immediately alter the kick-oll'. the Orange and Illack, by means of three first downs, worked the ball well into their hosts' territory. This drive was finally halted, and a kicking duel ensued between Knowles ol' St. Cln'istopher's and Clements ol' Woodberry. ln the second period, a pass from Whitehead to Fox netted the Red and Gray a considerable gain. Whitehead passed to Knowles for the first six-pointer. Knowles converted with a drop-kick. liarly in the third period. Whitehead slipped ofl' lel't end for ten yards. Several plays later Ifox. with practically no interference, wiggled thirty-five yards down the field l'or a touchdown. The boys from Orange started an aerial attack in the last period which netted them a first down, but this was soon stopped when lrviug Knowles intercepted a Woodberry pass and gained fifteen yards before he was downed. Shortly afterwards the game ended. THOMAS JEFFERSON EDGES OUT SAINTS The Saturday following the Woodberry gatne found the Saints opposing Thomas jefferson. City champions ol' the previous season. The game had been postponed l'rom the day before because ol' rain, resulting in a considerable let down ol' the high pitch to which the team had been brought lor the scheduled game on Friday. The first period passed without either team seriously threatening their opponents, ln the second quarter Thomas ,lellerson drove deep into Saint territory. l aircIoth, on an oll'-tackle play. went over for a tottchdown and converted the extra point. thus making the score T. j. 7, Saints o. Here the Saints rallied. and on a long pass from Knowles to Polk Neal, chalked up their six pointer. Knowles drop-kicked the ball between the uprights to tie the score. Starting the second hall. both teams battled on even terms. Then Moore ol' T. AI. threw a long pass to Delaney for the winning touchdown. The try lor the extra point went wide. A l'ew seconds alter the kick-oll' the game ended with the Westhampton team on the short end of a I3-7 score. The last hall' of the gatne witnessed vicious tackling on the part of' both teams. Bradley, playing a fine gatne backing up the line, was carried ofl' the field together with Faircloth ol T. -I. after the two had collided on a play through the center. SAINTS SUCCUMB TO jUST.lCE ONSLAUGHT October ltith lound the Saints facing the undefeated jolm lNlarshall justices at the City Sta- dium. 'l'he eighth Streeters boasted a much heavier team than did the Westhamptonites and this. coupled with the tnttddy condition ol' the lield, proved a distinct advantage l'or john Marshall. On the second play ol' the gatne thc lllue and White caught the Saints napping on a reverse that netted the justices thirty yards. From here, john Marshall's hard-driving fullback, Siegfried. cracked the center ol' the line again and again for consistent gains resttlting in a touchdown. Captain l.ee McLaughlin converted the extra point. l-Zarly in the second quarter john Marshall scored again: in the same matmer as the lirst tally. This time the attempted extra point place- ment failed. 'l'he Saints then started a drive ol' their own which was stopped by a l'ew had breaks on the justice twenty yard stripe. With jolm Marshall in possession ol' the ball. their heavier hacks got a lirmer l'ooting on the muddy lield and succeeded in pushing the Saints back to their five-yard line. 'l'he Saints took possession ol' the pigskin here. but a fumble. which was recovered hy jolm Marshall gave the latter their final tally. Again the extra point kick failed. 'l'he second hall' l'ound the Red and Gray team outplaying their opponent, but unable to muster the linal power necessary to score. All justice scoring threats were stptelchcd, and the Saints were able to light their way to the jolm Marshall seven-yard marker before losing possession ol' the ball. BENEDICTINE CONQUERED IN THRILLING CONTEST ' The IIIOSI exciting gatne ol' the entire season was played at the Staditnn on October 23. lt was a wide open gatne ol' passes. laterals, and broken lield running that kept the spectators on edge throughout the contest. 'I'he contest opened with a punting duel between Knowles and Brosnan. About midway ol' the initial period the Cadets got the ball on their own 35. Ned Butcher, the Slingin' Satn ol' Bene- dictine. faded back and tossed a well-titned pass to Brosnan, who received it on the 5o and ottt- distanced the Saint secondary for the lone Cadet score. Butcher drop-kicked the extra point. The Westhampton boys opened up in the second period when they twice penetrated to within a few l'eet ol' the Irish goal. Knowles made a spectacular 37-yard run-back ol' one ol' llrosnan's punts in the third quarter which placed the hall on the three-yard line.

Fox plunged the line on second down for the score, and then hit the line f'or the extra point making the score 14-7 in l'avor ol' the Saints. A frantic aerial attack by the Green followed this touchdown, bttt it was of' no avail, although their spread forma- tion considerably worried the Red and Grays for a while. CHRIST CHURCH FALLS EASY PRAY On October go the Varsity B team, accotnpanied by only five letter-men, journeyed to Christ Church, and defeated their hosts by the considerable count ol' .H-o. After the Saint kick-off, Christian intercepted a Christ Church pass giving the Saints possession of' the ball on their own 45-yard stripe. A series ol' first down put the ball on the Christ Church five: Whitehead then broke through for a touchdown, and Anderson converted on a pass from Whitehead. During the latter part of this first quarter, Wightman, on a reverse, reeled oft 22 yards and a six-pointer. Following this the IS team played practically the rest of' the gatne. Another tally by Wightman, two by Anderson, and two hy Cabell Moore completed the Saints scoring for the day. RED 'N GRAY CRUSHES SAINT ALBANS' St. Alban's succumbed to the St. Christopher eleven on November 6th. 'The Saints played a better brand of ball than they had in any previous game of' the season and the result was a 32-0 victory for the Red and Gray. The Saints scored in each period, otttclassing their Washington opponents in every department. St. Alban's made only one first down, that on a penalty, and their longest rttn was a three-yard jaunt. The first score came in the initial period after the Saint's had marched to the visitors' four- yard line. Billy Fox then drove over for the touchdown. ln the same quarter, Knowles went over from the tlu'ee-yard line I'or the second score. The second quarter tally was made by john NVood- ward on a play through the center ol' the line. He also converted. A pass f'rom Knowles to Black- iston gained forty-five yards for the Saints. 'l'wo plays later Whitehead scored another six-pointer. An off-tackle play by Wightman gave the Saints their final touchdown. The longest run of the afternoon, forty yards, featured the line performance of johnny Wightman. SAINTS TRAMPLE MACKS 37-o McGuire's, on November lglh, was the next victim of the Brenantan boys. They avenged last year's 12-o defeat at the hands of the Macktnen by defeating them 37-o. The Macks were hope- lessly outclassed. and the Saints scored almost at will. Captain Luke Drury made a beautiful kick-oll' into McGuirc's end-zone, but Currie sidestepped Saint tacklers until he had advanced the ball to his own forty. llnable to gain ground, McGuire's punted. The Saints accepted the challenge and marched down the field. Knowles went otl'-tackle for the Hrst touchdown of the day. Knowles tnade two tnore touchdowns in the second quarter, and Bradley converted aftet' the third score on a pass, The highlight of the game came in this same period. john Wighttnan re- ceived a Mack punt. and weaved sixty-five yards down the field for a touchdown. The Saints ran up against more stubborn opposition in the second half, and. although they could score bitt two more touchdowns. they played better football than they had in the first two periods. An ofl'-tackle reverse with Woodward carrying the ball gained one of the last two tallies and a pass from lVhite- head to Blackiston gained the other. SEASON CLOSES VVITH WIN OVER BISHOPS On Thanksgiving live a holiday crowd of about t,ooo people saw the St. Christopher football team end a very successful season and lie with li. H. S. for the State Prep School Championship when the Saints defeated V. li. S. I2-0.71110 game was marked hy hard-fighting and stnooth offensive play on both sides. The Saints reached their peak in this game, and provided a fitting climax to the season. The visitors got their break in the first part of the gatne when a punt by lllandford of V. li. S. was fumbled by Knowles and recovered by Griffin, V. li. S. end. The Saints refused to be daunted, and held their opponents for downs. The Iirenamanites then reeled oll' a first down. but they were stopped on their own 45. Knowles punted and for the rest of the quarter the ball see-sawed up and down the gridiron. A concerted drive in the second period ended after johnny Woodward had pushed the ball over the goal line for a touchdown. Several beautiful punts by Blandford were the only highlights of the remainder of the half. ln the third' quarter Blandford of V. li. S. attempted a fake kick and passed from his ouu seven-yard marker. The pass was short. .Billy Chewning, playing heads-up football, intercepted it. and, behind some pretty blocking by brother lid. dashed fifteen yards for a touchdown. - OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO W.

The Season The St. Christopher basketball team of 1937, showing continual improve- ment throughout the season, out of a twelve-game scl1edule won Five games and lost six. The contest with Episcopal High School was cancelled because of an epidemic of mumps at the Alexandria scl1ool. Under the direction of Coach Downey tl1e Saints employed a new style of play, witl1 which they compiled a total of 318 points, or an average 29 points a game, while limiting their oppon- ents to 315 points, or an approximately equal average. They won two out of three games in tl1e State Prep School Conference, but were victors i11 only one of three city encounters. ln only one game were they defeated by a margin of more than ten points. The Saint cagers opened the season on january 9th in Zlll auspicious manner, downing VVoodberry, 37 to 34, in the annual prep school tournament at the University of Richmond. The two teams matched goal for goal in tl1e first half, the team from Orange walking off the court at the half period with a 16-15 lead. The Saints took the lead early i11 tl1e second half and held it in spite of a determined Woodberry rally in the closing moments. Captain Knowles, with 17 points, led the Downeymen in tl1eir first victory. Stegeman led the Woodberry attack witl1 a total of 15 points. In their second start the Saint basketeers suffered a 29-20 defeat at the hands of the Benedictine Cadets in a slow and rather listlessly played contest at the Blues' Ar1nory. Both teams were off form and missed a large number of shots. Goldstein was high scorer for the Cadets with twelve points. Knowles again paced the Downeyn1en, caging eight points. The team next journeyed to Petersburg, where they were unable to stop the sharpshooting of the Crimson Wave's Captain Pete Nelson, who personally accounted for 26 points. Knowles tallied eleven for the visiting team. The Saint cagers showed a much-improved attack in downing Thon1as jefferson 33-25 for their only city victory. Trailing 17-16 at the half the Saints came back strong in the last two periods to win a decisive victory. Captain Knowles was again l1igh man for the Red and Gray with I4 points. Witll the juniors playing a good part of the game, the Saint scored a11 easy victory over Christ Church, to the tune of 38-11. Luke Drury caged I2 points to win high-point honors for the game. Davies, Christ Church forward, scored seven of l1is team's eleven points. All but one of tl1e twelve Saint players who played in tl1e game broke into the scoring column. In the losing to Hargrave Military Academy by a 31-26 margin, tl1e Saint basketcers played one of their best ga1nes of the season. They showed their best passing and handling of the ball but were I10t sinking their shots, and Hargrave, led by Beckman, went ahead in the final quarter. Knowles and Christian starred for the Saints, scoring nine and eight points, respectively. The home-court jinx which Thomas jefferson has always l1ad on St. Christopher lives again held forth, and the Saint quint playing its worst game of the season, was defeated 28-24 by the jefferson team. The jefls held a IO-7 lead at half-time and held their lD2ll'glll to the end of the game, as the Saint attack never got started. Luke Drury, with a total of tl1irteen, scored more llllall l1alf of his team's points, while Faircloth led the jefls with twelve points. The experienced and smooth-working Benedictine Cadets had too 1nt1cl1 power for the St. Christopher quintet in the second engagement of the two teams and took a 44-27 decision from tl1e Downey-coached boys. Goldstein tallied seventeen points to pace the Irish, while Brosnan accounted for eleven. John VVoodward and Andy Christian played good ball for the losers. The Red and Gray next journeyed to Lynchburg where they played heady ball to down the V. E. S. Bishops by a 32-20 margin. Christian led the way in piercing tl1e Bishops' zone defense and tallied eleven points on shots from mid-court. Drury was highpoint man with twelve markers. Blandford accounted for eight of the l1o1ne lCZllTl,S points. The Woodberry Forest team on their IIODIC court got revenge for their early defeat suffered at the hands of the Saint cagers by-winning a 34-29 victory. The Saints were trailing 20-8 at halftime after their defense l1ad weakened in the second quarter, but they came back strong in tl1e second half to outscore their opponents in the last two quarters and almost overtake tl1em. Wiltshire led tl1e Orange boys with sixteen points. Knowles tallied twelve for the Saints. The Saints closed tl1e season with a 25-23 victory over Fishburne. The fast hnish of the visting Cadets just failed to overtake the early lead of the Saint team, when Drury piled up fourteen points for the Saints.

The Season To quote Coach Brenaman, The 1936 Baseball Team was a worthy successor to the fine of 1934 Zllld 1935. The team ranks as perhaps the third best in t.he history of tl1e school. Out of thirtee11 scheduled games the Saints wo11 eight. Their record is the more remarkable when we consider tl1e fact tl1at they had only one pitcher, Captain Charles Hutchinson, to rely 11po11. On April 3, ll1e Saints opened their season witl1 an 8-4 victory over the Christchurch 11i11e. The lielding was erratic o11 hoth sides, but due to the power hel1i11d tl1eir bats, and ll1e masterful pitcl1i11g ol' H11tcl1inso11, the Saints came out on the long end of the score. 'l'l1e second game ol' the seaso11 was lost to Woodberry 7-3. The pitchers were evenly llI2llCllCll, but the superior batting of the Orange team proved to he the home tea1n's Waterloo. O11 Saturday, April 18, the Saint 11i11e lost in the ninth inning to McGuire's. Up 11ntil the fatal ninth, Hutchinson pitched a good hall gillllc, allowing only six l1its, a11d striking out eight. During the ninth, tl1e Saints' defense collapsed: St. Clll'iSl0PllCl S made Hvc errors and allowed tl1e Macks to collect four l'llllS. Better weather for practice and consistent hard work put tl1e Saints on the victory road again. As the season really got 1111de1' way, tI1e team hit its stride a11d won four successive games. The john Marshall gZllllC was tl1e 111ost spectacular of tl1e year. After trailing the justices I'or eight innings 2-3, the willow-swingers pulled one of the IIIOSI exciting comehacks in the school's history. XVith two IIICII on, Wigl1t111an smacked Olll a circttit drive to hring in three runs and win 6-4 a game which every one thought was in the bag for the justices. This splendid come-hack spirit is what set the tea111 on top ol' the win column at the end of the yearg the team deserves a great deal of credit for tl1e spectacular display it lllilflll i11 this game. In their next game, the Saint swamped Coach Spud Hloxsom's 'l'homas jell'erson team with a lo-1 decision o11 Fitzgerald Field. HlllCl1il1S0ll'S stellar pitching gave tl1e 'l'ee-Jays only three scattered hits while his team-mates battered three jefferson pitcl1ers for thirteen safeties. V. IE. S.

The Saints got a sweet revenge over Mfoodberry in the return game with them, and Hutch at the same time marked up his hrst shutout. The lvoodberry game had been a pleasure, but in the next encounter, a return game with john Marshall, the Eighth-Strceters handed out an ignoble defeat. The final score was 22-2, the worst shellacking a team from St. Chris- topher's has ever received. In the following game, Bene- dictine whipped the team 7-o. Still failing to snap out of their slump, the Saints suffered their third straight defeat at the hand of Thomas jefferson. Numerous errors marred the Saints chances for victory, while the victors played al- most faultless ball. These beatings eventually waked the Christophites up, and they pulled hack into form to gain the second shutout of the season from Virginia lipiseopal School, lo-o. On May 2o. the Red and Gray team journeyed to Christchurch, where they defeated that nine 8-4 for the second time this year. john Woodward collected two homers for the Saints. ln the final game of the season we defeated our arch-rival McGuire's 9-5. Knowles led the Saints with three hits Ollt ol' five trips to the plate. Letters were awarded to Hutch- inson, Wightman, Knowles. Parrish, Christian, Bosher, Gresham, Woodward, Gwathmey, and Manager Marshall. 'S ,H .- 'S3 . Fl ELD ui -Q Q..

It had no backers, no sympathizers and very little interest was evinced in it at St. Christopher's. Today track has progressed by leaps and bounds, climbed from the depths ol obscurity, and become one ol the top ranking sports of all high schools. Coach John Branch Green must be given much credit for raising the sport of track in St. Clll'lSE0lJllCl'yS to the present high level at which it now stands, for beginning years ago, with no equipment to speak of, with a narrow zig-zag path 454W yards in length for a track, and with very few boys from which to mould the material for his team, Coach Green has worked wonders. Today track is ever-growing in popularity at St. Christopher's. THE SEASON The track team of 1936 proved itself to be the best the school has ever had. John VVoodward, the Captain, was outstanding, being a one man track team hi1nsell', and aided by some others, succeeding in establishing an excellent record. The Saint harriers won easily from Thomas Jefferson 74-43 in their first meet ol' the season: but at V. E. the Saint tracksters were edged Ollt by the Bishops 66-57, McGuires taking third place with 20 points. A strong Richmond Frosh team outclassed the home cindermen 72M-2-44M3. An excellent .Woodberry aggregation topped the Saints 71-46. The Saints placed 5th in the All-State meet and then handed McGuire's a severe trouncing, 85-32. John Marshall took the All-City meet with 66 while the Saints came next with 46. McGuire's and T. J. brought up the rear. Thus, the Saints had a most successful season and much credit is due to Coach Green and his lettermen- Captain Woodward, Patterson, Trice, Peyton, Drury, Leary, Richardson, Funkhouser, Hancock, and Blaekiston, Manager. - aaaaas Junior Football The 1936 version of the Junior grid machine was probably the best ever to represent St. Cln'istopher's. The IHOSL conspicuous feature of the team, unscored on in six of its games, was that it consisted of young, raw-boned huskies . . . ideal material for future Varsities. Messrs. Green and Downey are to be commended for their excellent coaching. In their first game the Juniors avenged the junior teams of past years by defeating T. -I. 6-o. Harry Easterly, Louis Heindl, and George Carrington in the line starred on defense and offense alike. After a scoreless first half, the Juniors came on the field determined to win. Cary, St. C. halfback, intercepted a T. pass and ran half the length of the field for a touchdown. The juniors next conquered Ginter Park l3'0. VVith Captain Frank Blan- ton giving his team the much needed spark by his enthusiastic good playing, it didn't take the Saints long to show their superiorty over their opponents. McGuire's was trampled over to the tune of 27-o despite the loss of such valuable men as David Vaughan, Dean Ellett, and Leonard Blackburn, all of whom weighed over the 135 pound limit. Next the Virginia Aristocrals suc- cumbed, I3-0 in a three-quarter game. A last minute victory was gained over Neighborhood House, 13-6. VVith but three minutes to play in the last quarter, the Saints drove eighty yards on a series of passes from Beverly to I-Ieindle to Cary. The only defeat of the season was registered by Boy's Home, o-fi, a game played in a cold downpour of rain on Fitzgerald Field, but the win column was entered again with a 7-o victory over vVesthampton. In the grand finale of the season, the Juniors were tied by N'Voodberry, o-o both teams presenting iron clad defenses. The game was high-lighted by the fine punting of both teams. The Juniors chalked up 73 points to their opponents 19. Frank Blanton fcaptain of all-cityj, Louis Heindl, Dean Ellett, Harry Easterly, and XfVelby Beverley were honored by selection on the All-City Junior team. 6 .fc Q if isiffiiai Junior Baseball The Sl. Christopher Juniors of 1936 played a seventeen game schedule, winning len. losing six and tying one. The Dawson-coached team included in its string three victories over McGuire's by large scores, two over Stonewall Court, and one each over the Hill School, Fork Union, Duntreath, Hampton Gardens, aml Cavalier juniors, while losing to VVesthampton High, Fork Union, Parkwood juniors, William Byrd, and Dumbarton High. -lack Todd, third baseman, was the leading hitter for the year, and to him went the medal for the best junior player of 1936. Todd was a sure and heavy hitter all the season and his fielding was flawless in the last games of the season. Due to lack of space we will attempt to describe only a few of the more memorable games-The litt.le Saints won their first game on April 2l at the expense of the Hill Junior High School ii-fi. XVildness of the Hill pitchers coupled with timely hitting by Todd, Pollard, and Scott, and smart base running by the whole team gave the Saints an easy victory. Spessard, though slightly wild, held the Hill batters in check aided by the excellent fielding of Moore and Satterheld. On May 6, Mr. Dawson took the Juniors to Fork Union and returned with a io-9 victory. Eleven solid hits rattled off the St. C. bats including doubles by Moore and Cabell and a home run by Cary. May 7 the -Iuniors won their fifth straight, defeating Duntreath ll-2. Spessard allowed only one hit and four walks while his males were pounding Stewart for io hits and ll runs. YVood- ward, Cabell. and I-Iill hit for extra bases while Todd was collecting singles. VVesthampton High dealt out a 21-2 licking to the juniors on April 27. lt was the worst defeat suffered by any Dawson-coached Junior Baseball Team. Monograms were awarded to Cabell Moore, catcher, NVelby Beverly, first base, Frank Stringfellow and -lack VVoodward, second base, Billy Cabell, short- stop, Jack Todd, third base, Spessard and Pollard, pitchers, and Dan Talley, Billy Hill, Dave Satterfield, and Fairfax Cary, outfielders. as BUIJDOGS Bulldog Football For the first time in a number ol' years the Bulldog football team was entered in the City Midget League. The little Saints were very successful in this loop, defeating all opponents except one and taking second place in the League. The Bulldogs opened their season with Boys' Home, who defeated them 26-o. hut came hack in the next game to conquer Alhert H. Hill School 7-6 in a fast. exciting contest. 'l'he following Monday the little Saints triumphed again, downing Benedictine ig-o. Next, they tnet the powerful Boys' Home team. who again defeated them, this time hy the seort-,of 32-o. Again the Bulldogs hit the comeback trail. and in their final contest defeated Alhert Hill School in a game filled with long runs and line defensive play. Capt. Sandy Carrington. William Waddell and Billy Hancock were honored with places on the All-City Midget team, while Buford and Catlett received honorahle mention. However, the other memhers of the team deserve an equal amount of praise for their line work, as do Coaches Green and Downey to whom the ultimate credit is due. Midget Football At the heginning ol' the season a fairly large squad reported to Mr. Morgan for midget football. The top weight on Mr. Morgan's squad was to5 pounds. Despite the fact that the '36 team averaged somewhat lighter than usual, Mr. Morgan managed to whip together a good team. ln two out of their first three games the Midgets came out on the short end of the score. They were defeated hy Boys' Home and Sauer's Carden hy the scores ol' 13-6 and 13-2, respectively. The team trampled over the little Macs 22-o. 'l'he Midgets showed consistent improvement in winning two of their next three games against tough opposition. 'I'hey overcame Hill School I.l-I2 in a close hattle. A team averaging too pounds lost to Sauer's Carden IQ-U, hut the following day a team averaging go pounds defeated MeCuire's 1.1-ti. On Wednesday. Novemher 18, the Midget team met Boys' Home on our grounds and lost hy a I3-o margin. liarly in the second quarter when the visitors were on St. C.'s zo-yard line, they executed a perfect reverse play which netted them their first score. 'l'he try for extra point failed. The Midgets record shows three games won and four lost. They scored 62 points and allowed their opponents 77. eetelesetrttigttelgsatttaases 'z mv?

Quite a surprise was registered on the faces of all when at the end ofthe dance a snowlike cloud of vari-colored paper poured down upon the dancers below. The last dance of the year, given the day before graduation exercises was a gala occasion. The gym was decorated as on the preceding night, with red and grey streamers forming a colorful roof, and red and grey tapestries and palms concealing the walls. A revolving mirror on the ceiling Cust small white shafts of lights on the smiling faces and walzing couples below. At midnight great quantities of balloons and confetti were released from above. 1 MONOGRAM DANCES Although less formal and pretentious than the Final Dances, Monogram Club Dances always turn out to be occasions of great merriment. The com- pany is consistently select and tl1e music peppy. The I-Iomecoming Dance was given on November 25 to celebrate the victory on that day over V. S. and the closing of a successful football season. Charlie Moriss' music inspired such sedate members of the faculty as Messrs. Bailey and Hankins to show everyone how it should be done. Despite the protests of all, the music ceased at one o'clock and the happy couples went forth to brave the chills QPQ of the night. 5 A 5 e Q A iuiliiz WQLSCPJ SEPT. SIQPT. SEPT. OCT. Nov. Drzc. DEC.

Five other boys have entered school since then. The Lower School has been fortunate in having the same faculty as last year. Miss Henderson, the Principal, teaches the Filth Form: Mrs. Morgan, the Fourth: Mrs. Bugg, the Third, Mrs. Carson, the Second: and Mrs. Black- well, the First. This year for the first time we have had a kindergarten and Primer Form taught by Mrs. Owen. VVe are instructed in Art and Music by Mrs. Derieux and Miss Cowles. The oflicers of Societies have been chosen very carefully. WVilliams is Presi- dent ol' the Missionary Society, Tinsley, Vice-President, Chamberlaync is Presi- dent ol' the Junior Lee Literary Societyg Hobson and Mylius are Vive-President and Secretary respectively. The olhcers ol the Junior Jacksons are as follows: Garrison, Presidentg Wilson Brown, Vice-President, and Kirkmyer, Secretary. The Lees won the silver cup last year. This year there is great rivalry between the Societies for the cup, and the contest is close. Instead of a Christmas Pageant we had a Christmas Carol Service for the first time in the history ol the school. It was attended by a large and appreci- ative audience, and we were honored by having Dr. Chamberlayne assist the boys in conducting the service. This year our composition work has been given added impetus by the privilege of writing stories, poems, and descriptions for RAI-s AND TAPS and by reporting Lower School events for the Phu' Neadlrf. Mr. Rice is the Athletic Director ol the Lower School. Due to the patience and ability of Mr. Rice and his assistants, Mr. Derieux, Mr. I-Iankins, and Mr. Bailey the boys l1ave learned to play football, soccer, basketball, and baseball. During the latter part of May, the Reading and Declamation contest takes place in the Filth Form. The winners ol' Prepared Reading, Sight Reading, and Declamation will receive prizes at Commencement. Two interesting events that occur late in the year are the Musicale given under the direction of Miss Cowles, and the Art Exhibit given by Mrs. Derieux's classes. The most exciting day of the year is Commencement. Prizes are awarded in each form for excellence in scholarship and in Bible. On that day Dr. Chamberlayne receives the Fifth Form boys into the Upper School. The Lower School semis best wishes to RAPS AND Tfxvs and The Upper School. W. M.

Sccunrl ,-lsxislrllll The highest honor to which a student ol' the Lower School of St. Christophens may aspire is to be chosen Leader ol' the Lower School. Each year in September the School is assembled and elects the Leader from the l+'il'l.h or graduating l'orn1. This year the Lower School is particularly fortunate in having as its Leader an outstanding hoy, Russell Ferguson, -Ir. The Leader is aided by two assistants who are also chosen hy popu- lar vote. The assistants chosen this year are XVilson Brown, Jr. and Lynn Ivey, Jr. emasaeefasggteae Junior Missionary Society as A branch of the Missionary Society of the Upper School, the junior Missionary Society does noble work in behall' ol' the poor. Every student in the Lower School is a member of this Society and each gladly gives about live cents a week l'rom his own pocket to help those less fortunate than he. The interest ol' the junior Missionary Society centers mainly on the education of Raymond Boaz, six years ol' age, who is a student at the Illue Ridge Industrial School. Each year one hundred dollars is sent to Mr. Mayo, the head of that school, as payment for Raymond's tuition. Sam Wheeler. a graduate ol' the same school, was supported by the junior Missionary Society during his Silly there, and we are proud to announce that he has found an excellent position, justifying our faith in him. This Society also appropriates sums of money for Bishop Goodwin, who spends the money as he sees lit in some charitable work, and it always responds cheerfully and generously to all requests ol' Mrs. Palmer for old clothes, shoes. toys, etc. The junior Missionary Society has an able president this year in Al'lIIlSlCllll Marshall XVilIiams, who is assisted by Clark Cobbs Tinsley, Vice-President, and Tremain Armstrong Sauer, Secretary. Junior Literary Societies as Iiach meeting ol' the junior Lee and junior jackson Literary Societies is a gala occasion in the Lower School. These meetings are held once a month and are attended by large numbers of parents and I'riends as well as the whole student body. In these meetings every boy is given a chance to declaim or read for his society, and il wt sans flirt' that each participant tries his hardest, for the rivalry between the societies is lierce and un- relenting. Many pat'ents request that their sons be made members of the same society so that harmony may be preserved in the household. Last year, the I.ees carried olf the cup for the lirst time in three years, but the jacksons have come hack strong and at present hold a slight lead over their opponents. The ollicers of the Societies are elected at the beginning of each year by the members of their Society and this year could have chosen no better men than: john Hampden Chamherlayne, III, l'resident: Matthew de Grallenreidt I-Iobson, jr., Vice-President. and William Ransome Mylius, Secretary, ol' the junior Lee: and David Draper Garrison, President: Wilson Montgomery Brown, jr., Vice-President, and George Clilford Kirkmyer, jr., Secretary, of the junior jackson. raasasasaettgasae reassess IITIHIIH' A'I1x.s'11n1ury .Soflfly -15?

The new coach, Dave Rice, has done much to increase interest in Lower School athletics. His own ability as an athlete-he captained basketball and played football and baseball at I-Iampden-Sydney-plus his skill in handling young boys, has made him universally liked in the Lower School. ln football, the fundamentals were thoroughly gone over by Coach Rice, and a six-game schedule was undertaken. Out ol' these six games, the Saintlets broke even, winning three and losing three. Captain Clark Tinsley was re- peatedly successlul in crossing the opponent's goal line and to him goes the commendation of the School. Also deserving of praise are VVilson Brown, R. G. Fergusson, W. R. Mylius, B. B. Dodson and G. C. Kirkmyer. After Thanksgiving, the boys were segregated into four groups and intra- mural games were played in Basketball, Touch Football and Soccer. The Yankees captained by R. G. Fergusson, obtained the largest number of points and were thereby acclaimed the Champions. Baseball practice got ollf to a good start and a live game schedule was arranged. Among those who showed up well in the early practice sessions were Fergusson, Kirkmyer, VVilliams, VV. Brown, Rixey, Sauer, Garrison, Tins- ley, Mylius, 1-Ieth Iver and Ashworth. In the senior division ol' the '36 Lower School track meet Collins stood out, winning I'our lirsts, Carter won the one remaining event. Among this year's l+'il'th Formers, Binswanger, YfVilliams and Fergusson showed up well and have an excellent chance of winning the trophy. 5 Small Head Goes Visiting VVould you like to go swimming this morning? said Mrs. Duck to her family. Yes, we would, quacked the little ducks excitedly. 'When they had been swimming for half an hour, the mother duck said, I am going to look for some food. NVill you be good ducks while I am gone? Yes, we'll be good ducks, said Small Head. After their mother had been gone for some time, Small Head ran away. I know where I'll go. 1 will call on the turtles, he thought. They stayed up very late that night playing in the water I guess I'd better go home now, said Small Head. Mfhile he was on his way home, whom should he bump into but Mr. Frog. He stayed at Mr. Frog's for supper and then went home. Wlteii he got there he was very sick. His mother asked, What have you been eating? Small Head replied, 4'Nothing except three crikets, two Grasshoppers, and four worms, and at Mr. l rog's l had three pieces ol' cricket pie.

Not one, not one, but all The little leaves come softly down And make a crackling sound. ln the country and the town They l'all to the solid ground, They come orange, gold, and red. But when the snow does fall, The little leaves go to bed, Not one, not one, but all. ' -L. ill.

And haul us up to the light And blow the dust OU. So, we'll give again That same true picture of Virginia Spring, Of friend and fellow-classmen, of the teams, Ofjfaculty and dances, all the names And jokes we have kept for you. We shall be glad, for we'll have kept them close, Hoping you d open us another time. That's why books wait. Meanwhile, here's au revoir, And hope you found us worth your interval. Goodbye.'

Life insurance puts its accent on youth. When you are young the rates are lower, you get more for your money, and you are far less likely to be found uninsurable. Rare the man with graying temples who doesn't admit that he could have taken more insurance when young, and who doesn't regret his failure to do so. Ask Dad - he knows. And, because he knows, Dad could not do better than to let us start you on a life insurance program right now. CHARLES C. HALL, Manager HERBERT R. HILL, C. L. U.
