Before you, you see a lad who has been in jail for twelve long years and at last is being re- leased because of good behavior. No longer will members of the faculty and students of the school hear the roar of his car fsounds more like a detachment of army tanks? and a swish to signify his arrival or departure. But to get to more serious qualities of E. Leslie. He has always been more or less of a good student, keeping most of his grades well up in the eighties. English has always been his hardest sub- ject and Mr. Morgan swears up and down that Spence will never learn to write English. E. Leslie has two excellent hobbies-first and foremost, working on his car or anything that has a motor in it, and, second, sailing in the Potomac river. Spence has never been much of an athlete, but he was awarded his monogram as manager of the 1938 football team. Where Spence will go to school next year, no one knows, but you can be assured that it will be somewhere near pretty girls, because E. Les is a great lover of women. O, Spence, where are thy hidden talents? Look again, dear reader, upon this lad, for no longer will he be with us. So long, E. Les, and good luck wherever you go. IOHN H.

Here we have perhaps the most outstanding member of the Senior Class, Iohn H. Vaughan. l make this statement because of his many and varied accomplishments during his stay at St. C. It is impossible to recall a commencement at which the Chev- rolet Man has not stepped up and received a prize for the highest average in his class. Last year he edited the school paper and this year he is partly responsible for this fine annual. In addition to Rosey's powers as a student and a writer, he is a member of the Student Honor Committee, an officer of the Missionary Society, and a member of the Monogram Club. Also he has performed several times very ably for the Literary team as a debater and public speaker. John has participated in several sports: he likes football best and he has performed brilliantly for the past two years at his guard position. l-le had a lot to do with that uncrossed goal line of the Saints last fall. Furthermore, Iohn is well-liked and admired by all the students and every member of the faculty. This popularity is made possible by his ability, his wit, and his never failing good nature. Iohn will probably go to Harvard next year, and we hope that he will find time to return to St. Christophefs often. .21. v v v

Here we see the handsome countenance of our well known shiek of St. C.-Paul CDapperJ Rutledge. Gaze upon his features with awe, gentle peruser of this fair volume, for Dapper will be leav- ing us. Besides his wide-spread renown as a shiek, Dapper has dis- tinguished himself in other ways. His performances behind the foot- lights, his work on the PINE NEEDLE staff, his work on the R1-ips AND TAPS staff, and his scholastic work have been outstanding. Dap- per has also done credible work on the Literary team and has won the Matthews Page Andrews reading contest for this year. Because of his conscientiousness and dependability, he has be- come a leader in the boarding department of St. Christopher's, and a staunch upholder of their traditions. Dapper's unceasing good humor has made him one of the most popular boys in the school. It is indeed with regret that we must say good-bye to Dapper. Next fall he will journey to Princeton, and we wish him the some success there and in later life that he has enjoyed here at St. Christopher's. DAVE E. SATTERFIELD, III Syears RICHMOND, VA.

Satterfield, Ill. lt was five years ago when Dave-first came to serve his term at dear old St. C. Since that time, Scatter has always been near the top of his class. Dave has been one of the most popular boys in the school ever since he first crossed the TIBER. lt does not seem right that he will be leaving us this year. When this young man sets his mind on something, he goes and gets it. He has always been very persistent. Dave works hard in his studies, and his grades show the result. Dave has so many outside activities to attend to that he is always on the run. A reporter for the PINE NEEDLE and Art Editor for the RAPS AND TAPS are his two biggest jobs. He is also on the Board of Directors of the Missionary Society. ln spite of all his work, our friend Scatter finds time to go courting. He is very well known as one of the great lovers of the Senior Class. It is only very seldom that Dave and his O. A. O. are not seen together. Due to a knee injury suffered in football several years ago, Dave cannot play football or basketball, but he is still an asset to any baseball team. Dave is undecided about the school he will enter next year, but we all know that he will be an asset wherever he does go. Good luck to you, Scatter l .20. - ZAZZJ, CmhM

Lee Literary Society: Missionary Society: Bulldog Football, '35: Iunior Football, '36p Varsity Football Squad, '37, '38, Track, '37, '38, '39, Claude first came to us four years ago. At this time he was stepping in with a group of boys whom he did not know at all. But it was soon evident that he had in him that power of making friends which is so much of an asset to all those having it. His first interest in the school was in athletics He came out onto the football field in the fall of 1935 and immediately clinched for himself a berth in the backfield of the Bulldog squad. Since then, he has played a very admirable game on the Juniors and as a Varsity reserve. Unfortunately, his lack of weight kept him from making the team on this letter squad. But Claude has had that fine, jovial spirit which is so necessary to the life of all teams, so he can be credited in no small way for doing his share, and more, in helping the team. This same spirit has done much to increase that ability he has for making friends. Indeed, so deep have the ties been bound be- tween Claude and his friends this friends being, in truth, the whole schooll that it will be with deep regret that his friends will see him graduate this Iune. So, just to show their deep feeling for their fellow student, l know that they will want me to express for them their wish that he have success throughout all walks of life, even as he did at St. Christopher's.
