From a long line of illustrious Chewnings comes the most illus- trious of them all, Lynn P. During his three year career at St. Christopher's he has made a name for himself on the football field that will never be forgotten as one of the greatest backs ever to wear the Red 'n' Gray. Lynn's praises are sung not only locally, but throughout Virginia and the whole South. No one who has ever played with him, or against him, will deny that he is one of the most outstanding players they have ever seen. The best proof of his ability is the fact that he has been on All-City, All-State and All-Southern teams for the last two years. On the gridiron, and off, Lynn is undoubtedly one of the most popular boys in school. If ever a worry darkened his counten- ance, you can be sure few can remember the occasion. His care- free manner and constant good spirits have endeared him to the hearts of many. His enemies could probably be counted on the fingers of Venus de Milo. As Lynn leaves St. Christophers, he plans to follow in the footsteps of his brother at the Naval Academy. He has some pretty big shoes to fill, but we are confident that he can do it with ease. :L AUBREY FORD. IR.

Fish entered St. C. in the sixth grade and immediately rose to a high position in his class. He has been a leader in every phase of school activities. One of the outstanding athletes of his class, a member of the Student Council, and one of the most popular boys in the school are among his many accomplishments. ln athletics, Bigby was a standout in both football and basket- ball for the last two years. On the gridiron, in his second year on the sguad, he held down left end, winning both All-City and All-State recognition. However, it is on the basketball court that he really shines. He is playing his third year as a member of the first five and is serving his second year as co-captain. During this time, Fish has led the team to one City and two State championships. Along with these numerous school activities, Aub seems to find plenty of time for the fairer sex, and reportedly stands high in the social register. Attracted by the blue uniforms, he plans to join the Navy after graduation. Lots of luck Fish. We feel sure the success you gained at St. C. will follow you as a Gob. linttium aptzntiar nmur ummm

Behold one of the truly outstanding members of the Senior Class. He must surely have a long memory who can recall the year when Ash was not a leader in some phase of school activity, and when he did not walk off with more than his share of the awards. Now, in his final year at old St. C., he holds as many positions of leadership as any boy in the school. One look at the above list of his achievements will demonstrate this fact. Chief among them is his membership on the Student Honor Committee, and certainly not the least is his position as co-editor of this illustrious publica- tion. On the athletic field, in the classroom, or elsewhere about the campus, Sonny seems to have a habit of excelling in whatever he does. Yet, he is blessed with a naturally keen brain and does not seem to have to exert himself unduly to accomplish all this. lndeed, he finds time to enter into every bull session , and his caustic wit has brightened many a class. lt is without fear that we turn Ash loose. We are sure that whatever he does he will be a success, a true credit to the school he is now leaving behind.

Here is a scholar and a gentleman who is admired and respected by the entire student body and faculty of St. C. His fine sense of cooperation and his leadership ability, have won him many positions of honor and responsibility throughout his long career at the school. Included among these is a position on the Honor Committee, the highest honor to which a student of St. C. can aspire. And, incidentally, his work as business manager of this annual has been largely responsible for its publication. Perhaps we cannot do justice to Hallie in this short space. We can say, however, that it has been a privilege and a pleasure to have been associated with him. He is a conscientious worker, a loyal friend, and a true gentleman. ln addition to this, need we say that Padre's fair countenance and smooth manners have captured the hearts of many a young lady? It is with sincere regret that We see him go. We know, however, that our loss will be the gain of whatever community he attaches himself to. Our only fear, as he departs for the Navy, is that he will fall into the trap of some engaging female. Illfllllll illlllilllliflf, il1lUI'EUIIliI1i

Who is this bright-looking, blond, handsome lad? Why, none other than Shelton Horsley, Chairman of the Honor Committee, President of the Lee Society, crack athlete, a man with a good scholastic average, and, in general, one of the best all-around boys in school. Horse came to us five short years ago, and immediately impressed everybody with his ever-present grin and perpetual Wisecracks. Undoubtedly, he is the king of every bull session year Shelt probably the than rest on 1 and the life of any gathering whatsoever. This was appointed Chairman of the Honor Committee, most coveted position in St. Christopher's. Rather his laurels, however, he has sought more worlds to conquer, ac- cumulating a large number of honors in football, basketball, and tennis. As a charter member of the infamous setback club, he has already established a reputation as a shark. So long, 'Horse .
