JOHN THOMAS FERGUSON, JR. Jack Malvern Hill Farm Three Years - Trainer for Varsity Football, Trainer for Varsity Basketball, Timekeeper, Monogram Club,Jackson. In his short career here, Jack has certainly made a number of friends. Though one of the quietest members of his class, he is one of the most loyal and friendliest of this year's graduates. Jack probably spends more time on the telephone than any student in the history of St. C. He is always willing to do the tasks that others are not so anxious to take on. He has long served in the responsible job of student football trainer, andhas ably handled the job of operating the basket- ball scoreboard. He hopes to attend the Naval Academy, and we are sure that he will meet with success. ERNEST MAURICE FRANK, JR. Doc Williamsburg, Virginia Four Years - Co-Captain of Varsity Football, Co- Captain of Varsity Wrestling, Smoking Club, Boarders' Council, Mono- gram Club, Jackson. When Mr. Bolling hears the trash cans go rolling down the steps of Cottage Four, he knows that Doc is at it again. This is by no means the extent of Doc's ath- letic prowess, however. He has played varsity football for three years and this year was co-captain of both the football and wrestling teams. At the St. Alban's Wrestling Tourna- ment, he was first in his class, pinning his Woodberry opponent in the final match. Doc has given much to St. Christopher's, and he will spark the spirit at V.M.I. HARRY LELAND FRAZIER, J R. Le 106 Seneca Road Four Years - Student Council, Director of Missionary Society, Monogram Club, Varsity Soccer, PINE NEEDLE staff, RAPS Sz TAPS staff, Cheerleader, Lee. Le came to St. C. four years ago. Since then, he has contributed his talents to school life - he has worked asa photographer for school publications, worked with dance committees, starred on the soccer team, and, most important, earned respect and friend- ship from everyone. He was also elected by his class tothe Student Council. His contagious school spirit has been an asset to all school functions. Any description of Le is in- complete unless something is said about his chinning . Le has introducedthis unique habit to St. C., and will doubtlessly carry it to Hampden-Sydney. I9

Y JOHN PAGE COATES Pharaoh 6319 Ridgeway Road Thirteen Years -VarsityWrestling,Glee Club, Public Speak- ing Contest, Co-Head Cheerleader, Co-Editor of the PINE NEEDLE, HIEROGLYPHIC staff, Jackson. Pharaoh, as his name implies, is a truly unique member of the Senior Class. His witty manner accounts for a great number of friends, but he is also a conscientious supporter of the school. He rep- resented St. Christopher's at Boy's State last summer, and this year was a Co-Editor of the PINE NEEDLE. A track man himself, he has been an avid sports fan. More than once, a team bus has been followed by a little blue Saab to far-away places. He was also a head cheerleader, a bass in the Glee Club, and has written for the HIEROGLYPHIC for three years. Johnny will surely be a welcome addition to any college. FRANK PARSONS DICKINSON Frank 8906 Norwick Road Thirteen Years - Dramatics Club, PINE NEEDLE staff, Varsity Baseball, Smoking Club, Lee. Known to all for his imagination, Frank started off in the Middle School by orig- inating Mr. Hanes' system of bottomless pits and wound up designing colorful posters for the St. C. football games. Frank excells in the sciences and accelerates in his Austin- Healy Sprite. He has the rare ability to provoke laughter wherever he goes. S er ious ly, Frank has been a great addition to his class. As a member of the Dramatics Club, he has used his talents in that field well. He has also dis- tinguished himself as a hurler for the Saints' baseball team. We trust that his fine record will follow him to Hampden- Sydney. HENRY WATKINS ELLERSON, III Whatt 6410 Roselawn Road Two Years - Varsity Wrestling, Varsity Track, Glee Club, RAPS Sz TAPS and PINE NEEDLE staffs, Lee. Watt can al- ways be seen cruising about Richmond in his grey jeep. He provided the O squad with transportationfor their away games with Doc's. He did some photography for both the PINE NEEDLE and RAPS St TAPS. Otherwise, nefadded his voice to the Glee Club and has wrestled for several years. A confirmed pipe smoker, Watt used the S Club for a friendly retreat. Striving for new accomplishments, he has gone out for the track team this spring. Watt's affable good nature and ready humor will enable him to endure the ranks of rats at The Institute. 18

During his years in the Upper School, Bumby has been the un- disputed leader of his class. His maturity, honesty, and de- votion to the school have won for him the respect of faculty members and students. No further proof is needed of this than a glance at the positions he has held: Chairman of the Student and Honor Councils, President of the Missionary Society, and President of the Senior Class. This year's Varsity Baseball captain, Bumby has been the pitching stal- wart of the team for two years. His outstanding record speaks for itself, and we are surethat Gresh will continue his achievements at Wahoo. RICHARD POOLE HANKINS, JR. Rick 4300 Stuart Avenue ThirteenYears - Varsity Cross Country, Manager of Varsity Basketball, Co-Editor of the PINE NEEDLE, Business Mana- ger of the Dramatics Club, Monogram Club, Lee. Rick is one ofthe most dedicated members of his class. He is known for his conscientiousness and quiet determination, he is al- ways there when you need him. His diligence as a student has paid off in first rank grades. He received a National Merit Scholarship letter of commendation - an enviable achieve- ment. In an extracurricular vein, Rick is athletically in- clined. He often traveled with the cross country team and wasa manager of the basketball team. Otherwise, he served in the responsbile task as Co-Editor of the PINE NEEDLE. Rick can be expected to continue such achievements and thus to gain success in later life. GEORGE DOUGLAS HAYDEN, JR. Friendly Doug 331 Oak Lane Five Years - Var s ity Football, Varsity Soccer, Varsity Tennis, Lee. F riendly Doug always seems to have a chuckle. His familiar smile endures even speeding tickets and exams. Much of his energy this year has been used in sports: he participated infootball, soccer, and tennis. Play- ing soccer for the first time, he quickly earned a reputation as astrong-footedhalfback. When not competing, Doug could usually be found among the spectators, cheering for the Saint team. Essentially a ladies' man, he has acquitted himself well inthat field. We expect that Doug's friendly manner and his ability to get along with everyone will continue to win friends for him. 20
