LYNN PURCELL CHEWNING RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Three Years lackson Society, Missionary Society, Varsity Football, '42, '43, '44, Co-Captain Varsity Football, '43, '44, B-Team Basketball, '43, '44, Varsity Baseball, '43, '44, '45, Monogram Club, '42, '43, '44, '45, Treasurer Monogram Club, '44, President Monogram Club, '45. 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

IONATHAN ROBERT IENKINS FROSTBURG. MARYLAND Three Years Lee Society, Missionary Society, B-Team Football, '42, Varsity Football, '43, '44, Co-Captain Varsity Football, '44, B-Team Basketball, '42, '43, Varsity Baseball, '42, '43, '44, Monogram Club, '43, '44, '45, Student Council, '44, '45. Ionathan Ienkins came to St. Christopher's three years ago, hailing from Frostburg, Maryland. During his stay, he has literally cap- tured the school by storm. 'lonnie is one of the greatest football players ever to don the red and gray. Witness his All-City and All-State positions for the past two years, and his selection as the most valuable lineman in the city during both of these years. As a fitting tribute to his greatness, he was elected co-captain of the l944 eleven. ln the spring, he turns to baseball, where he capably handles right field. Aside from his athletic prowess, lenks has been a leader in every other phase of school life. His membership on the Student Council is among his many honors. However, to think that he is always serious is a great mistake. Ionnie is one of the most fun-loving boys in the senior class and is recognized among the biggest bullers in the group. No school scene would be complete without his telling some story about Frostburg to all who will listen. Next year, he plans to carry his yarns and pranks to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, where he can be expected to carry on his career to even greater success. WILLIAM WATKINS MARTIN. IR. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Five Years Jackson Society, Missionary Society, Midget Football, '40, Bulldog Football, '41, Iunior Football, '42, B-Team Football, '44, Iunior Basketball, '42, '43, B-Team Basketball, '44, Varsity Basketball, '45, Track, '43, '44, Pine Needle Staff, '43, '44, '45, Co-Editor Pine Needle, '45, Baps and Taps Staff, '44, '45. At the beginning of the school term five years ago, the members of this year's senior class, then the Second Form, wondered who the new boy with the blond, unruly hair was. They subsequently learned his name was W. W. Martin and realized, after a few months association, that he would become one of the leaders of the class. Billy has indeed fulfilled these expectations, for, by his own efforts, he has risen to a high position in school life. In the classroom he ranks among the smartest in the form, and he has the talent to make any course entertaining by his sarcastic re- marks and argumentative nature. Elsewhere about the campus, too, Billy has proved himself outstanding. ln his postion as Co-Editor of the Pine Needle, he was responsible for the many interesting and informative issues this year. By his hard work and literary ability, he has set a high standard of excellence that next year's staff will find it hard to equal. Although handicapped by his lack of weight, Billy participated in both football and basketball, and his determination was rewarded by a position on the Varsity squad in the latter sport. Keen, resourceful, and original, persistent down to the bone, Billy should be a sure success in whatever vocation he may choose to occupy. Illftlllll Qllilllflflf ll1lUl' 1301111111
