It doesn't seem possible that Bobby is going to leave us. He has been here for seven years, and during that time has made himself a vital Part of the internal workings of St. Christopher's School. Now when he is leaving us it is as though we are losing our right arm. ' The scholar of the school-for the past three years he has led his Class scholastically. When a Seventh Former can eke out a grade higher than Bobby's, he knows that he has done something to write home about. 'One would think from Bobby's long list of scholastic honors that his scholastic duties occupy the best part of his time. This is not true. He finds time to take part in athletics and in extra-curricula activities. He is editor of Raps and Taps, a member of the Student Honor Com- mittee, member of the Literary Team, Director of the Missionary Society -but to go on would be triteness. a mere repetition of the long list of honors above. Observe them, and you will notice that Bobby has taken Part in every form of athletics that the school proffers. As editor of this volume. he has done the best part of the work toward making it a success, Constantly throughout the year he has been bothered by losing his valuable assistants. Although he has no co-editor on whom to rely. and in spite of the fact that his business manager, Ed Chewning. dropped out of school. Bobby has continued his work unaided. and we may say with conhdence that to him is due the thanks for this volume. Bobby is resuming his studies at the University of Virginia next year and we know that he is going to make a fine student and will make his Alma Mater proud of him. Robert T. Scott RICHMOND.

Many years ago when dear old St. C. was comparatively in its infancy, and an electric clock in study hall was just a pipe dream, there strolled on this campus a childish-looking tand he was a childj lad called Louie. But times have changed, and so has Louie, Now he is a tall, handsome fellow who takes great delight in playing Don Juan to the fair sex, and stirring up mischief in some way, shape, or form, generally thc Seventh. Although serious-minded when the occasion demands, Louie is usually carefree and witty, and is continually getting off wisecracks which seem to echo around the room, one upon another. But let's look at Louie from another standpoint. On many a junior and midget football team. he has been a mainstay. And during his last two years, he has de- voted much of his time to track. In the classroom Louie has never let his studies get the best of him. He is truly conscientious, and because of this. he has won the respect of teachers and boys alike, Having boarded at St. C. for the past five years, Louie has won great popularity for himself in the department, and has become one of its leaders. But as all good things come to an end, so must Louie's career as a boarder and student of St. Christopher's draw to a close. Al- though still undecided about next year, we think Louie is leaning slightly towards V.M.I. And we can conhdently say that his record there will be a credit to him and the pride of St. Christopher's, William Maury Hill RICHMOND, VA.

He hitched his wagon to a star and has made quite a name for himself. Though the youngest member of the Class of '38, he is by no means the baby. In athletics, he has success- fully competed with the best: in scholastic ability he is near the top of his class. Billy is noted for his perseverance. This outstanding characteristic has enabled him to overcome all obstacles in his long journey through this institution. He is ready, willing, and able for almost any kind of work. and has given valuable assistance to the staffs of both the Pine Needle and RAPS AND TAPS. A good mixer, Willie has left behind him a warm place in the hearts of all those who have had the pleasure of knowing him. He doesn't make a big noise. but just gets things done in his own quiet little way. Rewarding women as a necessary evil, Billy has found sufhcient time to grace the fairer sex with his company. Indeed, he has attained no lit- tle success in the field of silent smoochers. His charming, reserved man- ner seems to have quite a winning way. St. Christopher's will not say good-bye to this distinguished mem- ber of the class of IQQ8, for we expect to find him with us next year as a member of the post-graduate form. XVherever he matriculates next year, we may be sure that he will continue the good work he began at St. C. .14-.

Happy-go-lucky. laughable, yet sometimes moody, always conscienti- ous in all his work, whether scholastic or athletic: at perfect, almost too perfect, ease with the fairer sex, yet preferring the company of boys, a negver-ending source of cheerfulness to all those around him-that's pes. Ruth participates in athletics every year, being most proficient in football. He stepped up from last year's Scrubs to fill in this year in the backfield and win his Varsity In baseball Spes has pitched on Junior and B teams, and at this moment he is a very good prospect for an outfield position on the '38 team. In other fields of school activity Ruth has been just as successful. In addition to being on the Board of Directors of the Missionary Society and a member of the Monogram Club. he is Business Manager of RAPS AND TAPS for IQQ8. In his classes, while 'Spes is no monolith of mental might, he possesses a certain adaptability to study which has produced results in the form of good grades. And to common sense and business ability. we may add modesty as another of Ruth's good qualities. His modesty is not something put on or assumed for effect, as is sometimes the case. He is naturally modest: which is a splendid thing, Next year, Spes departs for V.M.I.. and we feel sure that his good qualities will carry him a long way there. Daniel D. Talley, III RICHMOND.

Now this youngster has become a tall, thin but still curly-haired young man. He is none other than Daniel Doak Talley, III. During his long stay at St. C., Dan's accomplishments have been many. He has stood first in his class several times, and was always an excellent student. During the past session Daniel D., as Editor of the Pine Needle, has put in many hours of hard work in order that the paper may be enjoyed by its readers. Talley has also contributed a great deal to RAPS AND TAPS for the past few years. In addition to Dan's powers as a student and a writer. he is a member of the Student Honor Committee. a Director of the Missionary Society, and a member ofthe Monogram Club. Although D. D. cannot be termed a star athlete. he has taken part and had deep interest always in all sports. Because of Dan's good nature and remarkable sense of humor, he is without doubt one of the most popular boys in school. It goes without saying that a great blow will be dealt to St. Christopher's when Dan leaves next year and continues his fine work at the University of Virginia. Come back to see us next year, Dan. You know we'll be glad to see you. .l6.
