As one of the members of the Post-Graduate Class, Andy has been a brilliant leader of the school. Every student in St. C. is proud to know him. He is leaving a vacancy that is hard to fill. Always a hard worker, Chris has stood near the top of his class. Whenever Andy sets his mind on doing something, it is time to look out, because there is nothing that can stop him. His honor has never been doubted and never will be. Drew is a man that all students have looked up to. Chairman of the Honor Committee, Captain of football, Member of the Publication staffs, Officer and Director of the Missionary So- ciety are only a few of his honors. The list would be too long to copy. Voted most oopu f' boy, Chris has friends everywhere. It is in athletics that Drew has been really outstanding. He led the football team through its most successful season. Basketball and baseball are other sports in which he excels. 'He was voted the best athlete in the school. Next year Chris will enter the University of Virginia, but we all know that our loss is their gain. We know that you will show them how, Drew, QQQYQMQUSWQ: I UUESJJQSXACZEJQA, WILLIAM M.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are proud to present to you William Maury l-lill, better known as Billy. Billy came to us twelve long years ago, and ever since that time he has been a leader in his class. This year he is a member of the Post-Graduate Form. Billy is looked up to and admired by every boy in school. His ability to mix with people has led him to a high place in the esteem of St. C. A leader of everything he does, he is an ideal St. Christopherite. All who know him are proud to say so. One could fill a book naming the honors that Billy has received. He is a member of the Student Honor Committee, on both Publica- tion staffs, a Director of the Missionary Society, and many others. Very few boys achieve as great success as has Billy. In athletics, Billy has done the impossible. Though small, Billy indulges in all forms of athletics. This year he has finished in a blaze of glory. l-le was All-City end in football and All-State cen- ter in basketball. His ability to fight hard and his persistence have carried him through many tough places. Billy should be president of the lovers club. Many have asked concerning his technicque, but few have been able to extract the secret from him. Next year Billy plans to attend the University of Virginia, and we are all sure that he will make a hit there. i i -gr

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.
