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

ROBERT HUTCHESON MAUCK RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Seven Years Iackson Society, Missionary Society, Flea Football, '38, Midget Football, '39, Bulldog Football, '40, Iunior Football, '41, '42, B-Team Football, '43, Varsity Football, '44, Midget Basketball, '40, '41, Iunior Basketball, '42, '43, Varsity Basketball, '44, '45, Midget Baseball, '39, '40, '41, Track, '42, Tennis Team, '43, '44, '45, Pine Needle Staff, '44, '45, Co-Editor Pine Needle, '45, Raps and Taps Staff, '44, '45, Director Missionary Society, '44, Mono- gram Club, '44, '45, Student Council, '44, '45. Now we have the beaming countenance of none other than Robert Hutcheson Mauck. Bob has been a student at St. Christo- pher's for seven long years. ln this time, his roaring laugh, ready wit, and unselfishness, have won him many friends. Not only popular with the boys, he has quite a following among the fairer sex. 'Tis said that he has caused many a feminine heart to skip a beat. As an athlete, Bob came right up through the ranks. A candi- date for varsity football, he received a bad knee injury which forced him to the sidelines. However, as a member of the powerful Saint basketball team, Bob proved his real athletic prowess. Also, he has been a member of the tennis team for the past three years. Likewise, as co-editor of the Pine Needle he has turned in a fine job. Bob has made quite a name for himself at St. Christopher's. A membership on the Student Council is just one of his many honors. His ability to make friends and take things with a smile, have won him the admiration of all, from the lower through the upper forms. With his departure, the school loses an all-'round swell fellow. ' HILL MONTAGUE, III RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Five Years Lee Society, Missionary Society, lunior Football, '41, '42, Bffeam Football, '43, Varsity Football, '44, Iunior Basketball, '42, '-13, B-Team Basketball, '44 Track, '43, '44, Director Missionary Soc1e.y, '44, Pine Needle Staff, '44, '45, Raps and Taps Staff, '45, Mono- gram Club, '44, '45, Student Council, '44, '45, Here we have Hill Montague, by far the smartest boy in the senior class. People often think that smart people are bookworms, and very dull to talk to. This is not the case with Hill, who spends as much time on extra-curricula activities as he does in studying for those daily hundreds. He is literary editor of both the Pine Needle and Baps and Taps. ln this capacity, he has done an excellent job in getting everything written on time. Hill's brain does not cease working when he puts away his school books. You can always find him trying to solve some daily problem with logarithms or physics formulas. Hill's modest, unobtrusive manner never impresses one as belonging to a literal brain , and it has won him friends through- out the school. He is held in such high regard by the other boys that he was elected to the Student Council this year, a position he well deserves. Hill is also a hard worker on the athletic field. He won his Varsity monogram this year through hard work on the football squad, He is also a member of the infamous B4Team butcher- ballers in basketball and one of the track regulars. The school will seem empty without Hill around, but he is a man St. Christopher's can be proud of, no matter what he undertakes. nitium apimtiaz imur Bnmini
