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. IIEATHSVILLE, VIRGINIA 3 years Ilnclesrm Socielyg fl'ff.Y.Yf0IlIll'5l Sociwly: junior Foollmll, 35: Triurk Squad, '36, '37: Varsity Foolball Squnrl, '36g Drnmalic Club, '36, ,371 Smuul Terlmirian, Dramnlizr Cl 1111, '37. 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
