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!

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

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.
