D. T. HALL lyecrr nic:-nvronn, va. Iackson Literary Society, Missionary Society: Varsity Football Squad, '39. D. T. Hall came to us this year. He stepped into the Senior Class and immediately became one of the boys. This was made Possible by D.T. himself, for no one else could have done it. Hts humor, his laugh, his clear eyes, his masterful bearing, have made him a singular attraction. Where would we look for him if he could not be found? That's easyl We would look for htm in the smoking room. During the year it became a typical sight-Hall and the smoking room. Indeed, the room seemed sort of bare when by some queer chance he was not about. Hall has the plugging, never-say- p . will go out and offer himself as cannon-fodder for the varsity foot- ball team, and will enjoy it as much as if he were on the first team That's the kind of stuff he is made of. He has a dogged die s irtt He is the type that persistency that we know will take him places in the future. Although D.T. has had but a short stay with us, it has been C1 most pleasant one, as far as we are concerned. Next year he will pursue his studies elsewhere. Wherever you go, D.T., QOOC1 luck to you, and don't forget us, because we won't forget you. ZEBULON VANCE HOOKER 12 yeqrs arc:-mono. vA. Iackson Society: Missionary Society: Midget Football, '33, '34, '357 Midget Baseball, '33, '34, '35, Track, '37, '38: PINE NEEDLE Staff, '36, '37, '38, '39p Assistant Editor PINE NEEDLE, '38, '39g Literary Team, '38, '39g RAPS AND TAPS Staff, '38, '39. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you Zebulon Vance Hooker, II, the man with the sword-like pen, an unfailing wit, a dog-like de- termination, and a good-naturedness that has shed radiance for the past twelve years on those around him. As assistant editor of the PINE NEEDLE, Zeb has done more writing than any other member of the staff. It was to Zeb that the editors turned when in need of an editorial, or when some tough assignment came up. Yes, Zeb always came through with some- thing good-a satirical comment on politics, an earnest plea to the students, or one of those heart-rendtng MELo-DRAMAS IN ONE Ac'r. ' Not blessed with an athletic make-up, Zeb has directed his ef- forts very successfully along these literary lines. As second best reader in the school, he has twice competed in the annual literary meet with Virginia Episcopal School. His renditions of Twain and Cobb have made him a favorite in the Society meets. In his classes, Zeb is know as a hard worker and hqs dgne well, particularly in English, a difficult subject. Zeb seems to come into his own in a bull session. He can join in any argument with ease and delights in offering his opinons, whatever they may be. Above all, he adds a light touch to every. thing, and his quick wit can be counted on to bring laughs. Choosing a college is still for Zeb to do, but that does not worry him. Wherever you go, Zeb, you will get along finely. .15. 7

Jackson Society: Director Missionary Society: lunior Football, '34: Varsity Football, '35, '36, '37, '38p Treasurer Monogram Club, '36, '37, '38, '39f Manager Varsity Baseball, '39g Staffs of PINE NEEDLE and RAPS AND TAPS, '38, '39f Honor Committee, '38, '39. Introducing one of St. Christopher's most famous and illustrious boarders: Wilson Funk-ole-dunk Funkhouser, the blond athlete from the mountains. As one of the most popular students in the school, he is monitor in the boarding department and a member of the Student Honor Committee. It might be said that Wilson's star shines on the athletic field, where he has participated in football, track, and baseball. For the past three years Funk has been a hard-driving wingman on the varsity eleven. Since Wilson enrolled here five years ago, everyone in any way connected with St. Christopher's, from the lowest rat to the highest senior, has come to know him as a friend and a pal. In addition to the above mentioned honors, Wilson is treasurer of the Monogram Club and the Missionary Society. But after all these many honors and achievements, Wilson is still the swell fellow that we all have learned to respect and admire. Wilson leaves us this June. All that we of St. Christopher's can say is adleu, Wilson, and the best of luck always! Last year we all were apprehensive lest the Blond German should not return to us this year. He had announced that he could not come back. However, as is evident, the Sudeten has returned, and we have been glad to have him with us again. E. B. T. GLASS Syears ' RICHMOND, VA. Iackson Society: Missionary Societyy Dramatic Club, '36, '37, '38, '39f PINE Nestor.: Staff, '36, '37, '38, '39g RAPS AND TAPS Staff, '37, '38, '397 Assistant Editor PINE NEEDLE, '38p Feature Editor PINE: lggsnlrsrg '39p Co-Editor RAPS AND TAPS, '39g Track, '37p Tennis, '37, The man you see before you is none other than Edward Beau- mont Townsend Glass. His moniker is one thing that Botts is proud of. He joined the inmates of St. C. four short years ago, and since then has been a great asset to the school. When Botts be- gins to do something, he does not stop until he has finished it. He has been looked up to ever since he joined us. Botts is a hard worker, and he is at the top of anything he does. When school begins in the morning he always has all of his work to do. We don't see how he finds time, but when class period comes along he has finished everything. When a class gets dull we all turn to Botts for some remark that will liven it up. He is always ready to give for us, too. Well liked, Botts has too many good qualities to list. Slightness of build has prevented Botts from joining in many types of athletics, and so, in place of them, he has taken to the stage. We will all remember his great performances with the St. Kit's players. As editor of RAPS AND TAPS he has achieved literary success. Many future editors will make their aim that of putting out volumes as good as this. His school work has always been above average, and we are sure it will continue to be so. Long after he is gone, the memory of E. B. T. Glass will live after him. Next year he plans to enter the University of Texas and we all know he will make a great success down in the Lone Star State. So long, Bottsl v v T T T

72' no Aw,-L . WILLIAM IOHANN mc:-rMoNn, vn. Iackson Literary Society: Missionary Society: Varsity Baseball, '38, '39g Monogram Club, '38, '39. Billy came to us last year from Westhampton High School. In no time at all he was one of the boys. He has the fortunate ability of making friends easily and quickly. His quick wit and ready smile have done much to help his fellow students through the toils of the school day. While Joe doesn't take an active part in football and basket- ball, he comes into his own in baseball. Last year, he reported for baseball as a pitcher, but it was soon realized that he was too good a hitter, so he was placed in the outfield. Here he quickly made himself at home, fielding almost flawlessly and hitting well over the three hundred mark. But Bill doesn't confine himself to the diamond. His class stand- ing is above average. l-le is a member of the Iackson Society, the Monogram Club, and various other organizations of the school. Billy has made himself famous as a lover. Every Monday morn- ing reports come to us of his adventures with the fairer sex, which reports stamp him as one of St. Christopher's greater lovers. Next year Iohann plans to leave us and enter V.M.l. We'll miss him, but We are sure that he will come back and visit us. So long, Ioe g we know that you will make goodl sex QM ,Lodi -f 17 QJZVKJ F IOHN HORSELEY 2 years RICHMOND. VA. lackson Society: Varsity Football Squad, '38, Tennis, '38, '397 Var- sity Baseball Squad, '37 Iohn entered St. Christopher's in the fall of 1937. He is a quiet, unassuming boy. He does his work conscientiously and without grumbling over its length or its difficulty. He stands well in his class. Having attended St. Christopher's for only two years, Iohn has done well in molding into a fine St. C. student. Never do you fail to see him at any of the varsity games, for the school's interests are his interests. Every boy who comes into contact with Iohn likes him. He is always ready to do his share, and usually more than his share, of the work. I-le is one of those boys whom everybody admires as well as likes. During the fall of 1937, Iohn went out for the varsity football team, but not being quite large enough, he was only a scrub. The next spring found Iohn out on the tennis courts. His tennis play- ing surpasses his other athletic endeavors. This spring also found him on the courts. It will be a sorry day when Iohn leaves us for good. But wherever he goes, we know that he will always remember his days at St. C. and will always have the interests of the school at heart. 2 years .
