The Post-Graduate class of '38-3E least what there is of it. Isn't it a grand collection of gentlemen and such a multitude of them! And after perusing such a long list of honors, it is quite useless for us to tell you who the possessor of these honors is. For who else but the incomparable Pick could compile such an enviable string of achievements? But the diversity of these accomplishments are such that it is well-nigh impossible to discuss them in this limited UD space. However, we can take a glimpse at the man Pick, It is a universally- accepted fact that he is one of the heaviest, if not the heaviest, lover ever to strike the environs of our fair institution. He has the knack, however, of handling his amorous affairs in such a manner that, ostensi- bly, there are very few in the know as to his true status. But Junie does not direct all his attentions towards the ladies. for we know of no boy who enjoys the company of boys more than Junie. With all his outstanding achievements, Junie is still pretty much the same playful, carefree. witty, bashful boy who entered the Lower School eleven years ago. It will be many a year before St. Christopher's raises up a boy as versatile and as popular as this illustrous son. So when Junie follows brother John to Princeton and takes with him his talents. a vacancy at St. C. never to be filled will be left behind. .22.

T. Todd Dabney RICHMOND, VA. 1 year mfhull. ,372 Varsity liaslu-iball. '38: Varxilgf Han-hall. 38: Munnyranw Club, '38. Will vnlur Univvrxily uf Virginia. Lei- Sucit-ly: Missionary Society: Varsily Fr Handsome is as handsome does. This old saying truly applies to Slick Dabney, for his every act 'is as handsome as his smiling counte- nance. a not-too-good reproduction of which you see here. Todd is our prodigal son, having attended St. Christopher's some six years ago and then returning to spend his last year with us. He quickly picked up where he left off years ago, and the Lover has distinguished himself in every phase of school life. As a standout guard on our City Champion- ship football tcam, Todd was in his element, and he will ever remain fear to the hearts of his fellow-players and coaches by defeating our arch- rivals. McGuire's, blocking a kick behind their goal line in the hnal three minutes of play. A good student and better athlete, Todd's star shines even more brightly in that Held of endeavor known as the pursuit of happiness li.e., womenj. Who but Slick has ever had five dates in one week-end with five separate and distinct girls. That, boys and girls. is an unequalled and unparalleled record. However, we cannot blame the girls, for he was voted the most handsome boy in school, and two hundred boys can't be wrong. Todd is one of those fortunate few who are blessed with a fine dis- position. and his pleasant smile has often cheered us in moments of deepest despair. Todd goes to the University of Virginia next year. and we feel confident that the University is getting a real man who will prove him- self to be a credit to his school. . Parke F. Smith RICHMOND, VA. 1 year Lee Society: Missionary Society: Varsity Football. '37: Varsity Baseball. '38: Olliccr. Missionary Sociely, '38: Monogram Club, '38. Will enlt-r the Virginia Military Inxliluli-. Although Parke Smith came to St. Christopher's only this year. he has been known around Westhampton and Richmond for a long time. It is rare that a boy enters St. C. and makes such an early impression upon his comrades and upon school life as he has made. Hehe was out for early fall football practice before the beginning of the school session. and before the week was out he had practically assured himself of a position on Coach Brenaman's starting eleven. Smith stuck at football throughout the season and held down the tackle assign- ment in every game in which the nrst team appeared. In baseball also, Parke has shown his worth. Although his ability at the Great National Game does not approach his football ability, he showed his willingness to work hard all season. He had the somewhat dis- agreeable job of bull-pen catcher. but he stuck at it likewise and proved to be of true worth to the team. Hehe is the life of every party he attends. His ready wit and limit- less supply of jokes make him a favorite in the recess bull sessions. He is a so-called wit wid de women, and is often seen surrounded by a group of his female admirers. But all is not play with Smith, for when he applies himself, he can really do fine work. As Treasurer of the Missionary Society he has exerted a great deal of effort for the betterment of that association. As a member of the Business Staff of this very book, he has done wonders toward canvassing for advertisements and subscriptions. Next year Parke has decided to continue the pursuit of his studies at the Virginia Military Institute, and we feel sure that he will do justice to the name of St. Christopher's there. .21. 15, Sv ,VXSX 7! ffl QW X? ff? ,CNS -' . - ' i 5., ,gens - N - ,1-Lge as lllllIIillilllilllllIlllillllilllllllllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIlllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllilIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllilllllflji ia'f:i6g7?'i llllllllllllillllllllllllllll xx S ff t-Reis. e
