In producing this book, you have made it possible for some of the activities you have experienced here at Saint Paul ' s to become a living record for those who follow you. You are the first class, at Saint Paul ' s, I have had the opportunity to live with for one full academic year. Naturally, I have a very warm feeling for each one of you. As you leave these sacred grounds and enter upon the sea of life, be sure you give to the world the best that you have in order for the best to come to you. With best wishes for your success, I am -vwswi DR. JAMES ALVIN RUSSELL Ex-President i k i mmmmaem MR. J. L. WHITEHEAD Treasurer MR. H.

Chaplain Business Manager In September 1947, 226 Freshmen glided into Lawrenceville, Virginia seeking St. Paul’s Campus. We, who had been tops,” the dignified Seniors in our high schools; were now re¬ legated to the bottom among the old St. Paulites. We appeared as green as the hills of St. Paul ' s campus in the Spring. Well, we were all green; but bravely and cheerfully we sub¬ mitted to the gruesome initiation and other steps necessary for becoming a part of the St. Paul’s family. After enrolling in our various and sundry fields, we strove hard to make the necessary adjustments. We all enjoyed that first course in religion because here we had an opportunity to express our thoughts about spiritual matters. Many thrilling social events enlivened our Freshman year. Among these was a series of recitals that developed in us a greater appreciation for classical and semi-classical enter¬ tainments. Our football team was far from successful, but the Varsity Prom was a real treat. We were happy to have our class represented on the team and as guests at the Prom. Among the historical events of our first year was the ground-breaking for two buildings: The James Solomon Russell Refectory and the new Trades Building. In the Spring, we wit¬ nessed the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the school. Although the members of the class participated in all areas of campus activities, they did not neglect their academic work. At the end of the school year, we were rather proud of our achievement. When we came back to the green hills of St. Paul’s in September of 1948, we were happy to be recognized as familiar to St. Paulites. Even though we had lost several of our mem¬ bers, the class was still able to carry on. Our homecoming game was lost, but the day was still gay because of the hearty greetings of visiting St. Paulites and the colorful homecoming dance. Gratified at our success in completing the first half of our work here, we faced the Junior year with high hopes. Making the Junior-Senior Prom a beautiful and enjoyable affair was the big job for this year. On the basis of favorable comments from those who attended, we feel that this job was well done. How can we forget the beautiful strains of music from the orchestra, and the oh so unique” water fountain! Finally, after three years of stewing and seasoning” in and around St. Paul’s classrooms and campus, we, the Seniors, have acquired that sign of dignity that is deemed necessary to success. Many of our former classmates have dropped out or changed schools leaving only 124 dignified Seniors. Since our President, Ernest Stokes did not return for the Senior year, Edgar Young succeeded him in office. The inauguration of our third President, Mr. Earl Hampton McClenney, Sr., took place on October 12, 1950. We were proud to participate in this affair and to aid in serving the buffet style lunch in the James Solomon Russell Refectory. We are grateful to our parents and to all who have made it possible for us to receive the training which has prepared us to share the responsibilities of society. As we see the New Trades Building and Refectory nearing completion, and witness the other improvements that have come over this four-year period, we feel proud to be a part of St. Paul’s. Likewise, we are happy to boast of the fact that we will be the first class to graduate since the school has been approved by the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. We shall leave St. Paul’s determined that our lives will be successful because they will be based on high thoughts and noble deeds.
