We also desire at this time to make disposition of some of the special gifts of the seniors with the hope that, as we bestow them on various members of the Upper School, they will find them a source of enjoy- ish the sacred right of room study.

THIRD The fall of 15153 brought to St. Paul's an outstanding class of freshmen, and immediately they showed their eagerness to get started on the right foot. ln spite of the razzing of the upper classmen, they have done a good iob and earned the respect of all. This group of hard working lads began the fall semester with a bang by electing for themselves the following officers: president, Theodore Moss, vice, president, Stanley Brandebury, and secretary-treasurer, XXlilliam Stetson. With such excellent leaders they have had a successful year and proved their ability by set- ting an example for others to follow. ln the field of scholastic achievement, they have continued to attain the highest average of the four upper school classes. On the honor roll one always finds the names of Frees, Gardner, Walker, Webster, Brandebury, Behrens, Dauvergne, Frieze, T. Moss, XVeiss, Woodley, Sutherlin and others. ln the various sports activities the freshmen have also been very prominent. Playing on the varsity foot- ball team and winning his maior letters was Bill Stet- son, who contributed greatly to the team's success with his speedy running. Also on the varsity squad was Charlie Fischofer. Winning ,layvee letters were Von Roeschlaub, Venable, Brandebury, Moss, Rustmann, Wleiss, Frieze, Martin, Nilsson and Amann. Repre- senting the class in soccer were Knickman, Riedell, Walker, Dauvergne, and Webster. During the winter term the ,layvee basketball team had three of its out- standing players from the Third Form-Frieze, Stetson, and Brandebury. lf they continue to improve as much FORM as they did this year, they should be representing Sancti on the varsity in the very near future. Repre- senting the school in varsity wrestling were freshmen llustmann, Fischofer, and Vonlloeschlaub. Rustmann wrestled in the 114 pound class and Fischofer in the 129 class. Besides these varsity and ,layvee activities, the Third Formers kept busy during the winter in the intra-mural basketball league. With the coming of spring many of the freshmen were out for baseball, tennis, and track, giving stiff competition to upper classmen. Other extra-curricular activities also engaged the freshmen, for they were to be found busy in the Sacristans C-uild and on the staff of the school paper, the Record. These boys were also most helpful in the presentation of the Christmas Pageant, for they formed the greater part of the choir. Socially the class has been in no way backward. At the annual St. Paul's Day Dance were Fischofer, Can- ning, Dauvergne, VonRoeschlaub, Knickman, Venable, and Walker. Many of these same lads were in evi' dence at various St. Mary's functions, at the junior- Senior Prom, and at other parties about the lsland. All work and no play never made this group dull lads! One of the nicest things about the class as a whole is their eagerness and willingness to cooperate. Witli such a spirit they should go far. As we, the Class of 1954, leave the school, we de- sire to wish this group every success. Wle are certain that if they continue as they have begun, they have a line future ahead of them. l:RONT Row: Fischofer, Stetson, Venable, B. Keller, A, Keller, VonRoeschlaub.
