A., XVHO HAS BROUGHT NATIONAL HONOR TO SAINT ALBANS BY HIS REMARKABLE PUBLICATIONS OF COUNTLESS LATIN HYMNS, RE- FORMED RELIGIOUS SERVICES, AND CLASSROOM TEXTS, THE CLASS OF 1940 IS PROUD TO DEDICATE THIS VOLUME OF THE ALBANIAN, AS A TOKEN OF ITS GREAT ESTEEM FOR HIS ENVIABLE RECORD DURING THE PAST TWO DECADES. I+ OREWURD HE CLASS of 1940 becomes the thirty-first to go out from the halls of St. Albans into college life and the World. In looking back over our days in the School, and particularly this last year, we are impressed by the esprit de corps that has grown up among us. We have been so united in our efforts to Win honors for the School, We have had so much fun together. And so, as a re- minder of those memories, we have endeavored to make this yearbook as bright and as colorful as possible. It is our hope that other classes reading it will feel the same pride and pleasure in the School that We have felt, and that they will go on to make the name of St. Albans ever brighter.

CONGENIAL, almost optimisrically light-hearted, but close-knit, homo- geneous-that's the Class of 1940. Thirteen of its twenty-one members are products of the Lower School, three more have completed the four- year Upper School course, and the five who have entered since Form HI have joined so into the general friendship of the Class that they are in- distinguishable from their fellows. From its first days in the Lower School, the Class has had a good time. All this fun started back in Form B, eight years ago, when Ellsworth Alvord, Van Ness Philip, Burr Piggott, and Alex Walker, listened en- thralled for a year to Mr. Al Wagner,s readings of The Cremation of Dan McGee and The Highwaymanf' This little charter group became divided when Piggott and Walker left to pick up Jack Hare and be coached by Mr. Middleton in Choir-Form A. Unfortunately, the regu- lars were not privileged to live again with these three Choir boys until Upper School days. The fall of 1934 saw the greatest number of new faces enter the class, faces that were destined to change little through the years up to the Sixth Form. To Form I at this time came Dick Alexander, Custis Hall, Jack Myers, Derek Schoenfeld, and George Trible, joining Alvord and Philip in the last class to be taught by a mustache-less Mr. Barlow. After a year under a violent, head-thumping Mr. McGehee in Form II, and after collecting John McClure into our fold, the group took the straight andnarrow path to the Upper School. Here they encountered Mr. Phillips, the new Third Form English teacher, who tried his best to ST. ALBANS SCHOOL 9 supply newcomers Niel Platter, Bill Manger, and Forrest Holmes with the notebooks-full of English grammar notes which they had missed under Mr. McGehee. In 1938, in sharp contrast to Peoria's own Scott Morrill, who the year before had tried to master every grade of English given at the School, Carl Luebben and Courtney Sunday decided to spend just one more year under Mr. Ruge in the Fifth Form. Luebben, who had entered Form I in 1933, and Sunday, who had joined him in Form II the next year, had somehow given Mr. Ruge reason to concoct the well known story that he had taught the pair in every grade from the Sixth Form down and that they were now only on their way to the top again. At this time also came one lone new-comer, Bill Hannon, but when three others-Bob LeFevre, Walt Swift, and John Winant-joined him last fall in the dormitory, they soon formed a group of four fellows that behave no differently, that is, no more strangely than all the others. In fact, all have contributed much to the enjoyment of our stay at Saint Albans. This year, although with a greatly improved athletic record over those of the last three years, the Class academically has become one of Dr. Lucas's proverbial headaches. But the utter ridiculousness of his statement that he is trying like anything to get us all out of the bottom fifth of our Class, only adds to our enjoyment. And there is much to be said for a Class of hard-driving Saint Albans that still manages to have a good time. . 'V' X . X 10 5- A 1 THE 1940 ALBANIAN V RICHARD GRIFFISS ALEXANDER l!DiCk3!

PRODUCT of California sunshine, Alex has become one of the most popular members of the dorm. Due to his down-right, unfailing good humour he has never been ruffled by the buffets and shocks of all his six years at Saint Albans. Although he has never been seen tearing his hair when his marks are not up to par, he really concentrates on learning French under Papa Chasseaud, and has become something of a celebrity in his favorite sub- ject, physics. Indeed, he can explain such baffling subjects as Einstein's theory of relativity and the fourth dimension with sufficient confidence to make the casual observer believe he knows what he is talking about. Alexis record on the field of athletics has been remarkable, for he is a three-letter athlete: as end on the football team, a flashy shortstop on the baseball nine, and the goal guard of two championship soccer teams. Standing between the posts, Alex braves the wintry gales dressed in short pants and wearing his beloved ear- jock and handsome ski cap, which came straight from Dartmouth. On the Albanian board, Alex astonished his fellow writers with the ease with which he wrote consistently good stories- good enough for the New Yorker, according to Mr. Wright. No slouch at a party, Alex nevertheless would probably prefer to be hiking along the mountain trails of Virginia-for he is a founder of the Trail Club-or basking on the beach of his native California. Next year he joins his brother Bill to add new lustre to the name of Alexander at Dartmouth. sT.

ATE every afternoon, long after all other cars have pulled out, a blue Olds sports roadster waits patiently on the circle. At last, just before supper, a tall Lincolnesque figure strides up from the Activities Building carrying a great load of books and important-looking papers. Then the elated roadster snaps to attention, for this is its owner: manager- extraordinary Ellsworth Alvord. Editor-in-Chief of the Albanian, Business Manager of the News, and custodian of the class funds, Ellsworth has never been identified with any organization that did not show a profit. This is due partly to good management, and partly to the fact that his budget-balancing bellow has struck terror in the hearts of all more venturesome-minded associates. Also a power in politics, Ellsworth exercises a very dehnite authority in Government Class, where he is leader of the Conservative Party. Although discussions may wax fast and furious, A1 remains serene throughout, and speaks only to utter sage advice. Although he concentrates the better part of his energies on mental activities, Ellsworth still has found time to develop athletically. A dependable ball-player since Lower-School days and one of Coach Whipp's foremost leather-pushers, Al gained his greatest athletic triumph this winter in wrestling, by winning the District A.A.U. Championship in his class. With both Felix Morley and Alvord arriving next fall, Haverford College should be in for boom years. J f QQ ff. 12 Kyla 'Aiwa SV- THE 1940 ALBANIAN CUSTIS LEE HALL, JR. Cus C.L. uCustard Born: fum' 5, 1921, Washington, D. C. El1fL'7'Ct!! Sept., 1953. College: Duke U11ivc'1'sit3J. INCE entering Saint Albans six years ago, Custis has kept his myste- rious comings and goings a dark secret, and no one but his best friends know what he does after evading athletics and sneaking home in the afternoon. No, he does not waste his time in the movies or bury his nose in a book-he goes to his small workshop and proceeds to assemble more ex- cellently constructed airplanes. Some say his miniature models already outnumber the combined forces of England, France, and Germany. Custer is also well-known for his willingness to take anybody anywhere in his super-deluxe carg and it was well he had it along that day the soccer bus got a flat tire on the ill-fated trip to Saint James, for he raced to the nearest store and was back with a spare in no time. Daredevil Custis has been seen driving a motorcycle at a reckless speed around School, and it is rumored that he plans to enter the Indianapolis races next year. On the scholastic side Cus has always been frank about expressing his opinions on the poems Mr. Scott assigns. He was once heard to say, They,re not lyrics, because they don't arouse my emotions! Custis's hard work usually causes the masters to give him a pat on the back and tell him to keep on working. Evidently he did just that, for now, though no honor student, he is getting very commendable grades. Next fall Custer goes to Duke, and perhaps, corralled within the bounds of the campus, he will be compelled to expose more of his quiet, industrious personality. ST.

NLY an excellent athlete and a likeable fellow could enter Saint Albans in September, take part in the School's activities, and in June be a member of the Athletic Association, a three-letter man, captain of the football team, winner of the Rice Award, and a Prefect of the School. Such a fellow is Bill Hannon, and such was his record here during his first year. As captain of the football team, Bill's playing was inspirational and tireless. Backing up the line, he made numerous tackles, and on the offen- sive displayed an unfailing ability to select the right play. It was because of Bill's leadership and his mastery that Mr. Lucas rightly referred to him at the football banquet as Hone of the greats of Saint Albans. Will is very popular. He is so natural and unaffected that from the Start people are attracted to him. Judging from what we see of him around School, he apparently remains unruffled and cheerful through any situation. He is a good, just Prefect, and is liked and admired by the fellows in his studyhall-an unusual relationship. This year he com- pletely surprised his fellow Seniors when his name appeared on the ex- clusive Headmastefs List-Bill has scored another touchdown! Our good-looking friend is also accomplished on the dance floor, for a neat appearance and an unfailing ability to tell girls what they want to hear have made very favorable impressions on various maidens. I-Ie is not in- terested, however, for the girl he left behind is apparently the only one for him. f -- 14 THE 1940 ALBANIAN -W M L, , Q JOHN EDGAR HARE Jack Bom: Iam. 21, 19225 Pittsburgh, Pa.

Feed him anotherln This is not the chant- ing of a tobacco-auctioneer, but Captain Jack Hare in the field singing out words of encouragement to the pitcher. Baseball captain for two years, Jack has expertly soothed the nerves of Saint Albans hurlers and played a game that has been a real inspiration to the other members of the team. Because he also excels at football and basketball, Jack is con- sidered by many to be the best all-round athlete in School. Jack's abilities range far and wide. He posesses definite musical abil- ity, has been an outstanding member of the Choir, and literally shone during the Christmas Carol Singing with the Girl's School. Among other gifts, Jack has a weird ability to give recitations or to converse at great lengths on any subject whatsoever and yet to give no definite information. This glib tongue, combined with a natural good humor, enables him to bask in the unfailing good favor of his instructors and the friendship of his fellows. Inspired by a spirit akin to the one which drove on our pioneer an- cestors, -Iack has climbed over most of the hills of his native Virginia. In spite of the fact that he likes nothing better than to swing a pack to his shoulders and disappear from the hustle of this world into the Blue Ridge or Shenandoah Mountains of Virginia, we feel certain that Jack will be able to adapt himself admirably to the environment of that gentle- man's college, Washington and Lee.

The locker room would not seem right before a game if he were not saying, We don't have a chance against these fellows. We shouldn't even be on the same field with themf' But ironically, Forrest is a capable athlete. He has earned his major letter twice for playing guard in football, two times for bas- ketball, and once for baseball. Athletic even in his intellect, Honest Forrest knows the records of every athletic team from the local grammar schools to Bridgewater and Notre Dame, and woe to the man who bets against him! His uncanny predictions invariably turn the tide on his more confident adversary and Forrest stalks off in search of another victim. For years Holmesie has been at or near the head of his class, and his success is a tribute to his ceaseless study, for a harder worker is rarely seen. When he does take his nose out of a book, however, Forrest exhibits a very pleasant personality. He has a ready laugh when not too worried about the next day's test and is said to be the life of the party when among the gentler sex. Forrest's weighty arguments have stumped many a more liberal member of the Government Class in his two years as a member. This same argumentative ability helped him keep the fllblllfitlll out of the red this year, for Forrest wielded a mean tongue as chief ad solicitor among Washington's victimized business men, in the course of his duties as business manager.

OB was a new member of the class this year, but his ready smile and dependability soon made him popular among the entire School. Although he established no records in scholastics, LeFee always managed to get through his courses-and what a name he made for himself in athletics! He played an excellent game of plunging fullback this season, and his brilliant kicking put many an opposing team deep in its own territory. In basketball he was a bulwark on defense, although at times he seemed to forget that he was not on the football field. Shorty,s hobbies are varied. He can make a hock shop saxophone send everyone in the dormitory into fits of ujitterbuggingf' He lays aside his saxophone frequently, however, in order to write to a certain blonde in Connecticut, which he maintains is the home of beautiful women. Another of his hobbies is getting one or more of his fingers caught in something from which he cannot extricate them. He has been seen running to the infirmary with anything from a typewriter to a napkin ring dangling from one hand. Bob is quite adept at story telling, his speech about the disastrous results of his pie- juggling last summer kept the Upper School in an uproar for minutes. In all, Bob's quite courage and determination and his excellent sense of humor will be remembered long after he has gone, and at the Phila- delphia Textile School next fall the same admirable qualities that have endeared him to Saint Albans masters and students are bound to insure him success and friendship.

Unfortunately Carl's marks have not matched the brilliance of his attire, and his years of study under Mr. Ruge in English IV have become School tradition. Nevertheless, Carl has passed all his courses-if not in one year, at least in two or three- with a hearty keep on plugging' from the higher divinities. But if Carl's talents do not lie on the scholastic side, he certainly has been a valuable asset to the News board. As a member of the publication's staff for the past two or three years, Carl has probably been the best Circulation Manager the School has ever had. His splendid service has led the faculty-advisors to give him the gold News key-an award that speaks for itself. This spring he took time off from the News to sleuth for ads for the Albanian, and, as can be seen, the cream of Washington businessmen succumbed to his blandishments. Carl did a little dilettante basketballing in years gone by, and this year he utilized his experience as manager of the team. Evidently his teammates appreciated his services, for, knowing him to be an ardent pipe-smoker, they presented him with a handsome pipe at the end of the season. Carl's pleasing personality and unfailing courtesy have long marked him as a gentleman, and with a little agricultural training at Maryland, he should make an ideal gentleman dairy farmer. f. ri A s 9, . , .Aj K I g '. ,f fl. . 1 . ,,,,. 18 THE .9.0iasrsiAsN WILLIAM MUIR MANGER MBi1l53 !!King7! tlMinger!3 Ktwillli tlT.S.!!

ILL,S joviality and good-nature have won him the friendship of all with whom he has come in contact. He continually wears a large, pleas- ant smile, and his uncontrollable mirth has even been known to accom- plish the almost impossible disruption of one of Mr. Scott's classes. In spite of his joviality, Bill has managed to get good grades in his studies, always with the least possible amount of work. When unpre- pared he talks for long periods of time about an entirely different sub- ject, and when the master stops him, he looks so hurt and innocent that the master actually feels guilty of asking him a wrong question. In sports, however, Billy Boy shows a remarkable reversal of form. In his forte, soccer, he is all seriousness and energy, as attested by his high scoring record. Bill's hobbies are varied and numerous. I-Ie is quite fond of speedboat racing, and he himself modestly asserted that he would have won the last race if the boat hadn,t sunk. Because he figured that racing was too dangerous, he lately took up flying. No one has yet dared to go up with him. Bill has applied very ably his favorite hobby, pho- tography, to both the N ews and the Albanian, although he once spent two and one-half hectic hours photographing the entire Sixth Form and then discovered that he had no film in his camera. Bill's imitations of all those he has photographed are classic and make even the object of his impersonations roar with laughter. His talents, both real and ersatz, are bound to make an impression on Washington and Lee next fall. ST.

ITH three moth balls in the gas tank, there was a jet of blue flame streaming two feet behind the exhaust, and the speedometer needle jumped from ninety to one hundred and ten miles per hour! Such is the fa- miliar theme that is heard at any gathering where KI. P. is prominent. Coming to us in his Second Form year, and except for an absence of a year in 1937, John has been one of the few old-timers to have reached the pot of gold. Though not an outstanding student, he has always suc- ceeded in anything he really pursued. His never-ending stock of astounding yarns are only surpassed by those of the fabulous Baron Munchausen, and are the delight of many a lower former. An unknowing soul would gather from his stories that Mac was intimately associated with the most alluring actresses in Holly- wood, or the best professionals in wrestling, but those who know him never hesitate to pounce on any who dares to question his integrity. An ardent supporter of the rough-and-tumble art, Mac has been wrestling since he Hrst enrolled, and made his letter in his fifth form year, but this eseason an injury sustained in football, plus an untimely attack of ap- pendicitis has kept him conspicuously absent from the squad. John has a certain way about him which enables him to fit easily into any group, and we doubt whether the memory of any other classmate will be with us longer. Headed for Princeton, Mac may be sure of raking with him our sincere wishes for the best of luck and a successful future. .yr XJ qw I X. 20 THE 1940 ALBANIAN ' SCOTT NORTRUP MORRILL Scudbud,' Morr-ill Scooot Scut Born: April 19, 1921, Peoria, Illinois.

XPERT Photographer, Patron of the Arts, Master Mechanic, Phi- losopher, and many other such titles could be added to the modest name of Scott Morrill. Chuck full of odd bits of information concerning che efficiency of Diesel engines or obscure English men of letters, Scott can contribute a great deal to any conversation. Many times has he helped out the perplexed English VI class with details concerning Scotland's geography or the life of Robert Burns. His range of knowledge seems unlimited,-his companions have been inspired with awe on hearing that Beethoven composed under the influence of ice-cold water which was poured on his head at regular intervalslv This year's soccer team owes no little credit to Manager Morrill, who nursed that squad through thick and thin. Regarding each player as his own chick, Scott spoiled them mercilessly. Nothing was too much trouble. However, he did revolt-and righteously, too-when it was suggested that single-handed he might shovel a three-inch blanket of snow from the soccer field. In spite of other interests, Scott's forte is photography. Good- natured, he has worked long hours for both the News and the Albanian, only blowing up at Seniors who were not satisfied with their second set of yearbook proofs. Passers-by who were astounded to see a new and sportily-dressed gargoyle peering out from the Cathedral parapets, soon found it was only our official photographer, risking life and limb for a bird's-eye view of the School. In consigning Scudbut to the future, the Sixth Form confidently awaits his continued success. V Q,i, .5,ff'.f f 1 I ' X. -f - . ' K. ff I . Lf V. ST.

CC OME on, Fatty, don't you know where you're going?,'- All right, fellows, I'm doing the best I can. Such might be the conversation on any Saturday night between jack and his friends, for his characteristic good nature compels him to take his classmates wherever they want to go, and many's the time his large Packard has been lost in the sticks of Maryland. As an athlete, Fatty's bulk has stopped many ball carriers who tried to penetrate the center of the Blue line. For the past two years he has also been a valuable asset to the tennis team, for his shots carry both ac- curacy and speed. At the end of his Fourth Form year jack went out for the News. Evidently his talent was quickly recognized, for this year he was made Managing Editor, and no small part of the paper's suc- cess is due to him. Jack, the youngest boy in the class, is also one of the brightest. He has always received the best of grades, except when he and Mr. Scott disagree over the best way to write English. Although he spends the entire Latin class combing his silky blond hair and does his math during physics class, he ranks third on the list of Cum Laude rating. Yet Jack has his frivolous side as well as his serious. His mournful croonings have thwarted the best efforts of Mr. Hurlbut to start one of his classes. In the tradition of the Myers Clan, Fatty follows in the foot- steps of his father, uncle, cousins, and brothers as he journeys to Princeton next year. 22 THE 1940 ALBANIAN , , s p, J ,f wa, 1 W I A. - V. 0. 1, L-i X1 ., 1- 1' e ,. f , 1 1 , ff 5.

PON enumerating Van Ness's gifts, it seems that he received more than is due any one person-but if any mortal deserves the lion's share of good things, it is this unselfish worker and prince of good fellows. Brilliant, Van has been both an excellent scholar and a gifted News president, and rounded out a Mens sana in corpore sano by leading the soccer team to two championships this winter. Van Ness,s first love is journalism, as all who have seen the light burning late in the News office know well. He is also a close follower of national and international affairs, a pursuit that contributed much to his leadership of the liberal wing in Government Class. When the music swung high at the proms, Van's impressive blue-ribboned form-as a member of the Dance Committee-was seen moving gracefully among the bevies of girls and admiring lower classmen. Phil is an ardent horseman and enjoys nothing more than an early- morning ride in Rock Creek Park. An inexplicable attachment, how- ever, is his passion for railroads-his only concession to cheap literature being the awed interest with which he reads every word of a monthly train-magazine. In looking about for a fault, we find that Van has been known to forget entirely an engagement with a jeune fille-but perhaps a little absent-mindedness is just a mark of genius. As this true thoroughbred leaves his well-known haunts for Prince- ton, we can only say of him what has been inscribed on the memorial of another great thoroughbred in the Bluegrass: Opinions die, records livef' .4 ,-, I Ili . f' '- K V I NX 1 X I+ iixxxgs fx ST.

HE record of service to the School that Burr has compiled during his eight years at Saint Albans cannot be surpassed, and his personal leader- ship is evidenced by his position as prefect. His activities range from being Senior Warden of the Vestry and Cathedral Server, to membership on the Albanian business board and the Athletic Association. In years gone by, Burr was a member of the Choir, but recently he has saved his voice for singing with the Girlis School. Uncle Burr's athletic career is headed by three years on the baseball team at first base. This year he has also won his letter as tackle in foot- ball. But perhaps next to baseball, Burr's favorite sport is soccer, and consistent hard playing earned him a key position on the team. It is said that this consummate gentleman specialized in knocking down or tripping his opponents and then apologizing after the game by saying, Sorry I knocked you down, old fellow, but you hit me first, so that makes us even. Peegls startling classroom boners have earned him the name of The Immortal Piggottf' shortened to Porcus Immortalisvg these cracks have been a gold mine for the News Calendar throughout the year. Burr shines in the company of the gentler sex, for his broad smile is well-nigh irresistible. Indeed, his social activities, which are notorious for his swiftly changing affections, have gained for him the consecutive favor of nearly every attractve girl in the city. Next year The Immortal carries his impressive record to Virginia Military Institute, where no doubt his handsome figure will be the pride of the brigade. 24 THE 1940 ALBANIAN NIELSEN WAPLES PLATTER Born: fan. 25, 1922g Fort Worth, Texas.

Always immaculately dressed and clean-shaven, he is the object of countless admiring glances from mem- bers of the opposite sex. And his fans are not deceived by outward ap- pearances, for behind Max's debonair manner lie a most pleasing person- ality, and a strong character. He is one of the wittiest boys in School, and whoever goes out with him, is assured of an hilariously enjoyable time. It is no wonder that he has been such a popular prefect. Niel is not all gay blade, however. He is a lover of the fine arts, music being his forte. Though he truly enjoys classical music, he is also an expert on sweet and swingf' His taste in music stood him in good stead this year, for as chairman of the Dance Committee he helped to bring about the success of the School dances by his keen choice of or- chestras. Incidentally, this musical side is balanced by a superb knowl- edge of the aft of self-defense. If Max has one failing, it is his consistent forgetfulness. Though he has not come to class without his pants, the football team has travelled many miles to a game and discovered that Niel had left the first-aid kit back at School. He, however, laughs it off and obligingly offers to tear up his shirt for bandages. Plute will leave behind many sad hearts, both of the brave and beautiful, when he departs for Sewanee next year.

His good humor and pleasing personality have made him the friend of every one. When the occasion calls for it, however, he exhibits a stern will and sound reasoning which demands respect. He has performed a great job as Senior Prefect this year by combining a good deal of leniency with just enough strict discipline to insure the School's running smoothly and efficiently. Though he occasionally condescends to repay the admiring glances of a bevy of girls, Dirk's first love is the great outdoors. As one of the founders of the St. Albans Trail Club, he likes nothing better than to go camping in the Wilds of a mountain range. He is an expert camper, and it is rumored that his cooking over an open fire is a gourmand's delight. An outstanding connoisseur of horseflesh, Derek spends much time in the saddle, and in off-hours gazes with satisfaction on his large collection of miniature horses and the dazzling array of pictures on the walls of his coop. To judge from his slow, easy-going Ways about School, no one would guess that Slim was an exceptionally fast athlete, but his speed and deter- mination have made him an invaluable addition to many teams. It is rumored that he has his eye on a track career at college. Derek's experi- ences as a ranch hand out West last summer have induced him to study agriculture and then go into ranching, Where he can lead the life he loves. 26 THE 1940 ALBANIAN Y COURTNEY R.

OMING to Saint Albans in the fall of 1935, Courtney has always been known to members of the School as one of those resourceful per- sons who can seemingly make something out of nothing with the greatest of ease. He can be found on almost any rainy afternoon in Uncle Willy's shop, where, undaunted by the sinister buzz of spinning machines, he turns out countless articles with professional-like accuracy. Court,s hours as a craftsman are closely rivaled by those spent as an accomplished musician, for he is the lad behind the Xylophone in a pro- fessional swing band. Strangely enough, in spite of all these rival inter- ests, Courtney always seems to pass his courses. In the field of athletics, he does not come into his own until the soccer season rolls around, when his nimble footwork and startling speed have been the Waterloo of many an opposing player. His penalty kicks won two games during the year, and helped bolster morale no end on many a successfully hard fought day. In certain aspects, Courtney's life is shrouded in mystery, for aren't we always hearing faint murmurings about a particular feminine pianist? From the few facts which we hear from Court himself, we may assume with a degree of assurance that he is and has been laboring on some vast, underground excavation, comparable in size to the Carlsbad Caverns, and which is only prevented from becoming an underground lake by Court's own handiwork, of which the readers have undoubtedly heard a great deal. Headed for V. M. I., Courtney may rest assured that he carries with him our best wishes for a successful future. ST.

Any one lingering in the lower cor- ridors after the nine-thirty dismissal would be almost certain to hear this fervant exclamation issuing from an adjoining classroom as Walt puts away his texts and draws forth a well-used box of stationery. Coming to Saint Albans to complete his preparatory education, Walt has proved an invaluable addition to the dormitory as well as to the many activities which he pursues. Although endowed with a marvelous sense of humor, and the priceless ability to see the lighter side of any situation, Walt has yet to be found in an undignified state of mind. One of the last of the Romancers, he possesses that most enviable trait of being com- pletely at ease with any fair damsel. During the winter term, when School activities begin to drag, Walt and several other fellow boarders passed many dreamy hours charting an extensive cruise to the more ro- mantic parts of the world, such as the South Seas and the Malay Straits. However, the idea died in conception, and the would-be voyagers are still with us. On the playing field, Walt forsakes his philosophy of mind over matter and proves to be as versatile an athlete as any coach could wish. But on exchanging his uniform for his always well-appointed clothes, he resumes his quiet, genial air that is so well known to all of us. Walt is as yet undecided as to his college, but wherever he goes, that school may rest assured that it is receiving one of the best, all-round good fellows to come out of Saint Albans in a long while. 28 l THE 1940 ALBANIAN GEORGE BARNETT TRIBLE, JR.

Organizations: Albanian, 1940. College: Yale. EORGE came to Saint Albans fresh from the West Coast way back in 1934, when he and a few other old-timers joined up in Mr. Barlow's section of Form I. His unexcelled good nature and joviality made George a friend of all who know him. Though he has frequently been known to complain that the English is the udarndest stuff I ever heard of, and that the physics is driving him completely mad, he has always been a very capable scholar. The days are long since gone when he and Papa Chas- seaud would growl ferociously at each other during French period, but the memory of their tangles will probably linger in the memory of his classmates. Though only five-feet-six in height, George's spectacular playing on the football field has rightfully earned him an enviable reputation. His uncanny ability to snare passes and his determined defensive play at end heartened his teammates again and again. George played varsity forward on two championship soccer teams, and during the season invariably ap- peared in the scantiest of clothing, snow or sunshine. Formerly an ardent baseballer, George turned his abilities this spring towards the tennis courts, where his speed and coordination have been recognized. It remained for the Albanian Board to uncover a hidden talent in this vest-pocket paragon, for many a well-turned phrase herein is due to him. Gorged with five years of Latin and Math, George enters Yale this fall, and he may be certain that he is carrying with him our sincere wishes for a fine college career and a successful future. ST.

HE dead silence of the classroom is shattered by the shrill whistle of a train followed by the hilarious laughter of one boy. Has some one suddenly gone mad? No, it's only Alex Walker, who has just pulled another of his pointless puns, and is enjoying it immensely. Occasionally, however, he unconsciously makes a remark that raises even the most critical of the class's members to Alex's own level of appreciation. A time-tested veteran of eight years, Lex has been closely associated with the choir since he Hrst entered. When his voice at last rebelled at high C he learned chimes ringing, and for the past four years he has been one of the School's most proficient masters of the carillon. During the time that Alex has risen from small-boy singer to Senior Crucifer, he has received the choir boy,s most coveted rewards, including the Character Medal and the Singing Medal. He has also been a Cathedral Server. In addition to his choir activities, Alex is a capable athlete. He won his letter as a hard-hitting guard during his Fifth-Form year, but un- fortunately a promising season was interrupted this year, when he took a roll to the right a bit too hard. However, during the winter term, Alex came back to win his letter in soccer, where his lengthy kicks carried more than one ball over the goal. Next fall Alex journeys to Washington and Lee, and just to cheer his classmates who accompany him there, he plans to take the old leather bookcase he has carried for eight years here. 30 THE 1940 ALBANIAN JOHN GILBERT WINANT, JR.

The narrator of innumerable accounts concerning life in the Swiss Alps, John is without doubt the most cosmopolitan member of our form. On the average of once every fortnight John takes an evening off to compose a letter en francaise to a certain mademoiselle in France, who, unfortunately, for John, ne parle pas Anglais. In the field of athletics Johnny's 165 pounds have favored him greatly. Though football was a new experience to him this fall, he took a day's drubbing in his stride and played in several games. Dashing madly across the soccer field in his Alpine shorts he was a familiar figure until he for- sook the sport for boxing. A good game of tennis is another of his achieve- ments, and--oh, yes!-he's at his best on skis, but that another story. A hard worker, John is always comfortably clear in his studies, save for a scrap now and again with Mr. Scott's English. At Princeton next year, where he hopes to be able to study in a soft chair and smoke his pack-a-day, Johnny will probably enjoy himself heartily. We sincerely hope that it will be possible to keep in touch with him after he leaves Saint Albans, for the friendships which he has formed here should be long and lasting. ST.

This year five boys-William Poland, Edmund Jones, Scott Birney, Thomas Perry, and Hunter Surratt-were considered by their classmates to have the responsibility and leadership required for these posts. Poland, who received the greatest number of votes, became Senior Prefect. Despite their duties of keeping order during the School day, the Prefects have not been thought of as policemen. Instead, they were probably the most popular group of boys in the Lower School, and many were elected to class offices. This year, Poland and Birney were presidents of the two sections of Form H, while Perry and Surratt were vice- presidents, and Jones a treasurer. Moreover, they have played prominent parts in sports. Through discussing with Mr. True the various problems that arose, they maintained an ideal connection between the scholars and faculty. Their leadership in general has been an inspiration to their classmates, who have followed the example they set. It is to be hoped that the training these boys have received in positions of responsibility will enable them to be better leaders in the life of the Upper School. They should certainly be able to approach such duties with confidence. ST. ALBANS SCHOOL 43 Form II MR. BARLOW,S SECTION MR. MCGEHEE,S SECTION XVILLIAM BABCOCK POLAND, JR.

Lower School Athletics LTHOUGH this year's Baby Blue football team was very inexperi- enced both in the line and the backfield, they nevertheless looked im- pressive in two of their four games. ln the second game of the season they downed a slightly lighter Landon team 13-0. Early in the first quarter Captain Leadbetter dashed thirty yards for the first score, and McCracken made the conversion on a line play. Later, Wolcott inter- cepted a Brown pass and ran for the second touchdown. The team halted several spirited Landon rallies in the final period, but could not threaten seriously again. In the final encounter of the season the Baby Blues played a fine de- fensive game as they held a more powerful and experienced Landon third team to the extremely close score of 7-0. Landon, having made their only touchdown in the second quarter, was forced to halt the strong Blue attack headed by Wolcott and McCracken. The other two en- counters saw the Blues lose heavily to a superior Friends team. The sixth team completed another season undefeated and narrowly missed being unscored upon. They brought home an overwhelming triumph over Devitt, and two convincing victories over Landon and ST. ALBANS SCHOOL 49 Friends. In the second game with Landon a shifty Brown halfback sprinted sixty-hve yards to make the only points scored against the School eleven all year. Jordan, Cushman, Ferris, and Huidekoper were stars of the team, although the entire line is due much credit for its amazing defensive record. The Baby Blue basketball team, although it scored only one victory in three games, nevertheless handled the ball proficiently and played as a coordinated team. Because many of the boys lacked experience, much of the daily practice was spent working on fundamentals. Yet, at the end of the season, the team appeared to be a first class outfit. Although they dropped the first two games with Friends, 8-10 and 7-12, both could have been won by the Blues until the final moments of the fourth quarter, and were characterized by the hard-fought and fast play of both sides. The lone Blue victory occurred near the end of the season when they completely shattered a weaker Landon defense and compiled the con- vincing score of 28-9. The substitutes played the same team the follow- ing week and lost an extremely close contest by the margin of one point, 12-11. Outstanding members of the squad were Leadbetter, McCracken, Chandler, Morrison, Dunsmore, and Poland. The wrestling team, under the leadership of coach Tom Clayton, was much better organized this year than ever before, and many boys took wrestling for their major sport. The program of intramural matches was climaxed by the annual Blue and White tournament in March.

Shorb, Moffett, Perry, Griffin, Bell, Chandler, and Miller were among those who represented the School. The Baby Blue baseball team is one of the hardest-hitting and alert nines ever to represent the Lower School. The competition is so keen that the coaches have not been able to pick a regular line-up. However, Chandler, Knapp, Carter, and Wolcott are the team's outstanding slug- gers, while R. Clemen is by far the best all-around ballplayer. Offsetting strength in these departments, the pitching staff has been weakened by the graduation of last year,s ace, Jimmy Trimble. Nevertheless, with more experience, McCracken and Leadbetter may develop into good hurlers before the season is far under way. Supporting them are W. Miller and Magruder, catchers, and A. Clemen, Dunsmore, Perry, Huidekoper, Bell, Morrison and Jones. Although the team went down in defeat twice in the first two games, they were playing against much older and more experienced nines. Nevertheless, they kept in the ball game until the last man was out, and in the second encounter with Friends's third team they forced their opponents into two extra innings before losing 7-6. In the opening game of the season with the School's third team, they revealed a well coordinated and strong-throwing infield, but dropped an extremely close game, 8-6. The remaining games are scheduled with Cleveland Park, Friends, Landon, and Georgetown Prep.

The Prefects NAS THE Prefects go, so goes the School -in the words of Dr. Lucasg and thus it is fair to say that a great deal of credit for the splendid spirit which has prevailed at St. Albans during this past year may be attributed to the six boys who have wielded their powers with such efficiency and discretion. This year's group have been characterized by the unusual friendliness they have shown toward everyone, without relaxing any of their duties. The Prefects stand as connecting links between the Faculty and Student Body. In fact, they may be likened to junior masters, presiding as they do at table, directing study hall, and braving the winter gales at American University to check on Saturday demerit hikers. Particularly is this true of the Senior Prefect, who, in the person of Derek Schoenfeld, has sat in so many conferences with the Headmaster in reviewing the problems of the School and of individual boys. Derek's announcements after luncheon, delivered in a crisp, military tone, have come to seem as impressive as those of any of the masters. In giving friendly advice to the Fifth Formers, who recently have taken over their duties, the withdrawing Prefects have helped to insure a continuation of the splendid spirit they have maintained in the School.

Dewey would be the two major nominees for the Presidency next November, if the Government Class had its way. Sitting in political conventions during its last six meetings, the government group voted overwhelmingly for Dewey as the Repub- lican choice, and in a surprise move repudiated President Roosevelt by voting 9 to 7 for Mr. Hull to represent the Democrats. Other results of this yearis session were bills providing for the settle- ment of European refugees, for joint neutrality action by the United States and Latin-America, and for the permanent establishment of Secre- tary Hull's reciprocity trade program. In the most spirited debate of the year, the committee decisively rejected a proposed Constitutional amendment outlawing so-called un-American political activities. Rabbi Norman Gerstenfeld, leader of the Washington Hebrew Con- gregation, and Mr. Robert T. Pell, of the State Department, appeared as a Witness on the refugee problem. Representative Hamilton Fish testified on un-American activities. The tariff question was discussed by Dr. John L. Coulter, and Mr. Manuel Fox, tariff experts, and testimony on Presidential candidates was furnished by Mr. F. C. Waldrop, Editor of the Washington Tiilzes-Herald, and Mr. Paul Lentz, student of politics at American University. S4 THE 1940 ALBANIAN Front row, l. to r.: Chewning, Stephenson, J. Myers, V. N.

The News HE chief aim of the News Board has always been two-fold: first, to put out a paper that lives up to the high standards of its predecessors, and second, to train a competent staff to take over the following year. The success of this year,s Board is evidenced by the fact that the News took first place in the January Princetonian Contest and tied for first in the Annual Columbia Scholastic Press Contest. And, it is significant that Fourth and Fifth Formers have probably had a larger share in executive responsibilities during the past year than ever before in the paper,s history. Most valuable contributions to the News this year were those of Mr. Phillips, Editorial Advisor, who secured the first student cartoons ever to appear in the News and supervised the outdoor activities insert put out by the Lower School reporters. The last word in novel and attrac- tive layout, the Lower School insert will probably be the envy and model of News boards for years to come. The Board itself made one important contribution when it caused the headlines throughout to be changed from caps condensed to clc regu- lar. Suggested by last year's student extra, this general face-lifting has resulted in a more striking and better balanced page. ST.

The Albanian o MANY, the appearance of this year's Albanian is a great shock, for when the News advertised its sister publication as the yearbook that's differentf, nearly everyone just smiled and thought that the only dif- ference Would be the number of days late it came out, or possibly its failure to come out at all. Yet here it is, on time, We hope, and a book that we feel is truly different. It has more pages, more pictures, more features, and, most important of all, more ads. Particularly significant is the introduction of color on the division pages, an expensive improvement made possible only by the untiring persuasiveness of the advertising staff and the ad- prize contestants from the student body at large, Who canvassed every- thing from barber shops to brick yards until they had accumulated S200 more in ads than any other staff in the history of the book. Much credit belongs to the photographic department, for its con- tributions to the first yearbook ever to appear with the Senior pictures taken exclusively by student photographers. This task required great patience on the part of photographers Manger and Morrill, who still hide from irate Seniors demanding retakes and denouncing the staff for trying to sabotage their good looks.

The Vestry EMBERS1-HP in the School vestry is one of the oldest and most coveted honors that Saint Albans can confer on one of its boys. The vestrymen have traditionally come from not lower than the Fourth Form, and serve from the day of their election until they leave the School. Their duties include opening and closing chapel for both the morning and evening services, arranging the seating of the different forms, ushering at the Cathedral for the Confirmation and Commencement services, electing the Cathedral servers, and appropriating funds from the Weekly offerings. The three officers of the vestry are the Senior and Junior Wardens and the Clerk, each of Whom has a special duty. The Senior and Junior Wardens are the executive officers and are responsible for the successful functioning of the organization. It is the duty of the clerk to keep a continual record of the School services, recording such data as the offici- ating ministers, the attendance, and the location of the service, and of the appropriations to various organizations during the year. The only veterans were Schoenfeld and Senior Warden Piggott, who began their service in the spring of 1938. Alexander, Holmes, and Platter were elected to serve for their Sixth Form years, While Cochrane and Stephenson joined the vestry as Fifth Formers and will carry on next year. ST. ALBANS SCHOOL 57 Seated, l. to r.: Schoenfeld. Platter, Piggott, Hare. Standing, l. to r.: Walker, Philip, Alexander, Hamm The Cathedral Servers UNE of the most apparent relationships of our School with the Cathe- dral lies in the fact that each morning a Saint Albans boy assists at the early celebration of Holy Communion. The Servers, as they are known, are traditionally Fifth and Sixth Formers and are selected by their retiring predecessors toward the end of the School year. Other than the choir, they are the only regular School participants in the functions of the Cathedral services, and in later years will, no doubt, come to regard their early morning duties as a most impressive memory of their School career. This year each of the seven servers was a Sixth Former, and to all but one, the cassocks of the Cathedral were unfamiliar garments. Derek Schoenfeld, the only two year server, was appointed ex ojfcio for this year. It was decided early in the year that hereafter only Sixth Formers would be elected to the staff, since the responsibility, effort, and punctu- ality required are such that it was felt wiser to place them only on the older boys. When new servers are selected near the end of the year, they are assisted in their duties by the retiring staff during a period of appren- ticeship for taking over their regular duties in the coming fall. S8 THE 1940 ALBANIAN l. to r.: Terry, Payne, Walker, Hare. The Chimes Ringers QNE of the oldest and most picturesque buildings on the Cathedral Close is the ivy-covered Chimes Tower. Although the chapel has been remodeled several times, its appendage has remained untouched so long that when a chimes ringer occasionally feels the wooden ceiling above him tremble violently, he continues to play without a break. Probably one of the large iron bells has merely fallen from its ancient hanging in the gloomy, bat-filled recesses above. In spite of all the difficulties caused by the bad weather, breaking ropes, failing lights, and out-moded bells, Mr. Hurlbut's crew of Quasimodo,s performs a remarkably artistic job of ringing. Their large repertoire includes hymns for every season of the church year- last June they are said to have been awaiting the King and Queen with t'Rule Britannian! Perhaps the most beautiful hymns of all are the Christmas carols, which are played not only throughout the Christmas season, but also at midnight on Christmas Eve. People in the neighborhood of the School could set their watches by the regularity of the chimes, for twice daily the resounding bells call the students to chapel. No doubt many a statesman and laggard student would be late if it were not for the warning notes of early morning hymns played by the chimes ringers. ST.

The Glee Club ITH a nucleus of several ex-choir boys, the St. Albans Glee Club was formed this year under the direction of Mr. Calloway, Cathedral Organist and Choirmaster. Three concerts were given during the year, one in the fall and two in the spring. All were in conjunction with the Girls' School Glee Club. The first recital was given in the Cathedral, where the glee clubs sang church music, some with Latin words. After the service a dinner was given in the Cathedral School in honor of the two organizations. The second concert was rendered before a distinguished congregation of National Cathedral Association members at their annual convention in the Cathedral. The one selection sung at this time was Mozart's beauti- ful Ave Verum, in Latin. The third and final rendition was given before a public audience in the National Cathedral School's auditorium. The large repertoire of the Glee Clubs was exhibited as they sang pieces ranging from the old Irish Shule Agra to the rousing chorus from Gilbert and Sullivan's Pimies of Penzance, When the Foeman Bares His Steelf, The success of this and the other recitals insures the continuation of the Glee Club next year. 60 THE 1940 ALBANIAN l. to r.: Cooper, Platter, Philip, Chewning. The Dance Committee THIS year's Dance Committee will be long remembered for the un- precedented amount of time it devoted to having its picture taken. The difliculty was partially due to News-Albmzialz photographer Manger,s remarkable propensity for forgetting his flash bulbs, partially to the com- mittee's stubborn refusal to be photographed in anything but their tuxedos. As a result it was almost a weekly occurrence for Chairman Platter and his three henchmen to be seen skulking about in broad day- light, self-consciously immaculate in shining trousers and stiff white collars. Soon well versed in the art of photographic poise, the committee became known as the smiling ambassadors, an appelation suggested by the broad blue bands worn across the fronts of their shirts. The Dance Committee, however, has done much more than to grace the pages of the News and Albalzialz with their portraits. Determined to systematize their function, they proceeded early in the year to carry out numerous innovations, finally even drawing up a constitution, the first in the history of the School. This document was used as a guide throughout the year, and the results of the smiling ambassadors' efforts were four festive evenings that well lived up to the Saint Albans tradi- tion of excellent music, beautiful girls, and a good time had by all. k.

The Athletic Association HE Athletic Association this year incorporated one Fifth Former to insure experienced leadership next year. President Schoenfeld, Secre- tary Hare, and members Piggott and Hannon were Seniors, while Cooper represented the Junior Class. The most important issue which arose during the year was the award- ing of letters to the soccer squad. In view of the fact that the team won both the l. A. C. and the District Preparatory School championships, the Association decided to award them major letters. The members of the second team received five-inch letters with the initials A. F. The cham- pionship wrestling team also were awarded five-inch letters, theirs hav- ing the initials W. T. Football, basketball, baseball, and tennis teams were, as usual, awarded major letters. The Association recognized the fact that in past years assistant man- agers, in sports where competition for the managership was great, were overlooked in the awarding of letters. This condition naturally led to a lack of interest of boys competing for the managership of such a sport as baseball, which requires several assistant managers per season. Though the Association reached no immediate decision on this matter, it seems likely that in future years assistant managers of major sports will receive some recognition as an incentive and a reward for their work.

WAGNER ISPLAYING the greatest passing attack that the School has seen in recent years, a well-coordinated but light St. Albans football team fought its way to a third place berth in the Interstate Academic Confer- ence standing. A total of five victories and three defeats marked the season. With a nucleus of four returning letter men and graduates of the second and third teams, the possibilities of a better-than-average season looked doubtful. The veterans included Captain Bill Hannon, Who was named as all-District guard for the season, Forrest Holmes, at the left guard position, and Jack Hare, alternating at end and backfield positions. Because of a shoulder injury sustained during fall practice, Alex Walker, the other letter man, was unable to play for the rest of the season. The line was not too strong offensively because of its lack of weight and experience, but defensively the team shaped up Well. The fine Work of Hannon and Bob LeFevre, a great combination in backing up the line, ST. ALBANS SCHOOL 65 thwarted many goal-line drives. Offensively, the team was a continual threat in the air, for the accurate passing from rangy Dave Davidson to short George Trible accounted for many sizeable gains. The Blue,s ground game was strongest through the middle of the line and on its sharp-cutting, off-tackle plays, where the work of next year's captain, Mike Rizik, and of LeFevre was good. In the first game St. Albans scored a hard-fought 13-0 victory over Baltimore Friends on the latter,s field. The Blues, alternating passes with powerful line plunges, pushed their opponents back from the opening minutes of play. The first St. Albans score came in the first period, when a pass from Davidson to Hare advanced the ball to the Friends one-yard line. From there, LeFevre plunged over for the touchdown. For the final score, Dave Davidson threw a twenty-five-yard pass to Trible, who crossed the goal line. This same combination accounted for the winning score in the first few minutes of the Boys' Latin game. After the score, neither team threatened until the last half, which was entirely dominated by the Boys, Latin team, whose superior weight and reserve strength kept the Blues continually on the defensive. When the final whistle blew, the ball was in the Baltimore team,s possession on St. Albans one-yard line. St. Albans lost their third game 19-0 to an unbeaten St. Andrew's team in Delaware. In the first quarter, Dick Myers recovered a fumbled kick on the host,s ten. Two plays later, LeFevre smashed over the goal, but fumbled, St. Andrew's recovering for a touchback. For the Crimson's first score, White passed to Clark, who sprinted to the goal. The other two touchdowns resulted from inter- cepted passes. l St. Albans next won 29-0 over a weak, but game Church Farm team. From the opening whistle there was no doubt of the outcome. Chewning scored twice, Schoenfeld and Sunday each tal- lied once, and Hare completed the scor- ing with a field goal. The Blue defense did not allow Church Farm a first-down throughout the contest. On November 3, although amassing twelve first-downs to Georgetown's two and completing fourteen passes to their opponent's one, the Blues lost 13-12 to Georgetown Preparatory for the first time in seven years. Both St. Albans scores were made by Walt Swift after sustained marches down the field. The 66 THE 1940 ALBANIAN first Little Hoya score and the winning conversion occurred in the first six minutes, after which the winners were continually on the defensive until Eckrich's sudden seventy-six-yard touchdown-dash in the last period. The following week St. Albans suffered a complete reversal of form, but gained a lucky decision over a stronger Landon team. Following LeFevre's perfect coffin-corner kick, Denit Viciously tackled McKelway behind the goal for the winning two points. Thereafter Landon com- pletely outplayed their traditional rivals. Highlighting the game were the fine defensive play of Hannon and Hare's sixty-five-yard kick from behind his own goal line. Outstanding for Landon were Amussen's hard line plunging and Sager,s passing. Their next encounter was a hard-fought battle with a much heavier St. Paul's eleven, who won 13-7 . The Blues scored on the second play, when Hare received a fifteen-yard pass from Davidson and escaped three tacklers to run forty-five yards for a touchdown. However, St. Paul's recovered a Blue fumble on the latter,s ten-yard line and tied the score in two plays. The tie was broken in the last minute, when St. Paul,s intercepted a pass from Davidson and scored on the next play with a long pass of their own. In the season,s final, St. Albans gained an easy 19-0 victory over St. James. The regular Blue team started the game and quickly scored two touchdowns. With a comfortable lead, the reserves took over and at the half were on the Maroon five-yard line. In the third quarter the reserves tallied and were threatening again at the end of the game. The Blue defense limited St. James to one first-down and yielded but thirty-five yards. Baltimore Friends Boys, Latin ..... St. Andrew's . . Church Farm . .

SMITH ScoT'I' MORRILL, Manager HE soccer team, with its first undefeated season, emerged as the Dis- trict Private School League champions for the third consecutive year, and hence the School will have permanent possession of the plaque. In League competition, St. Albans won four games, tied two, and were scored on only once in the entire season. With two impressive victories over St. James, the team also won the Interstate Academic Conference championship. With a majority of last year's team representing the School, Mr. Smith was very slightly handicapped by any loss of material. Consequently, in the opening game with Georgetown Preparatory, the team displayed a well coordinated attack of the forward line, backed up by the stellar defensive play of the half-backs, who kept the ball in Georgetown ter- ritory for over three-quarters of the game. However, the team lacked a scoring punch and could score only once. In the last minute of play, Georgetown made the only goal scored against the Blues all season, as 68 THE 1940 ALBANIAN the ball bounded off the back of a St. Albanas half-back past goalie Alexander, and thus caused a 1-1 tie. The next encounter, roughly and bitterly contested, saw the School team and Landon play a 0-0 deadlock. The game was evenly contested and could have been decided either way. Played on the muddiest field of the season, the game was characterized by the hard-fought play be- tween a slightly superior Blue offense and a strong Landon backfield. The excellent work of the latter's goalie was the main reason that the Blues were unable to score. The School team made the more serious threats and several shots just missed going between the goal-posts. In the third game, the Blues, playing on their own field, gained a 1-0 decision over Friends in a game which was slowed considerably by snow and mud. The St. Albans booters succeeded in beating their oppo- nents to the ball throughout the game, but the forward lines failed to capitalize on numerous scoring opportunities. The Friends team threat- ened only twice. The lone goal was made when forward Sunday scored on a penalty kick in the first twenty minutes of play. A week later, the Blues, in a return game with Landon, completely outplayeditheir opponents, and for the first time the forward line became a constant scoring threat as Sunday, Dick Myers, and Cooper each tallied a goal. Half-back Piggott's hard, persistent playing was a major factor in the Blue offense, while goalie Alexander made many spectacular saves to halt a spirited Landon rally in the last quarter. That game aided con- siderably in winning the District League championship for the Blues, for the other three contenders--Landon, Friends, and Georgetown-had now been beaten at least once. The next game, with Friends, showed a great let-up in the Blue offense which had been constantly improving. De- spite a 2-0 victory, the team appeared slow and uncoordinated, and scarcely resembled the powerful Blue machine of the week before. The goals were scored by Manger on a pass from Trible, and by Dick Myers. Determined to end the season. with a convincing victory, the team decisively outplayed Georgetown Prep before the largest gathering of the year and cap- tured a 3-0 victory as the effective com- bination of Dick Myers, Manger, and Sunday each scored a goal. The general aggressiveness and hard play of the Blue 1 eleven completely overpowered their op- ST. ALBANS SCHOOL 69 ponents and avenged the 1-1 tie of the opening game. The result was never in doubt, St. Albans tallied twice in the first ten minutes. In the other two games of the season, the Blues trounced St. James 3-0 and 4-0. Only twice in the first game did St. James make serious threats to score. The more serious occurred when a forward dribbled within three feet of the Blue goal before Alexander snatched the ball from danger. Only by the quick action of the opposing fullbacks were the Blues prevented from making several more scores in the first half. In a return game, played on their own field, the Blues again out- passed and outdribbled a decidedly weaker opponent, and despite cold weather and pouring rain, they scored four goals and shut out their rivals. All the substitutes were used, and many showed much promise. This year,s team has undoubtedly been one of the best soccer teams to represent the School. It was strong in every department, and with the exception of the second Friends game, it never stopped playing the hardest and best soccer it could. Wingmen Trible, Cooper, and Sunday passed accurately to centermen Denit, Manger, and Dick Myers. Be- hind them the strong combination of Piggott, Cochrane, and Walker kept the ball in enemy territory. Captain Philip and Cousins aided goalie Alexander in many spectacular saves. Next year, with seven veteran lettermen graduated, Mr. Smith will have to build a new team. However, during the past season, many of the substitutes showed signs of developing into good players. Although St. Albans won fairly easily this year, Landon and Friends have been im- proving and promise to give the Blues a real battle next season.

A. XVAGNER T CARL LUEBBEN, Manager MR. BASSIN HIS winter St. Albans experienced its most successful basketball sea- son in four years. Although the team suffered eight defeats as against six victories, it lost two games by the narrow margin of two points. This improvement was due to the return of Captain Derek Schoenfeldg of Hannon, high scorer of last year's team, and of Hare, Holmes, and Terry. LeFevre, a newcomer, proved a valuable asset to the team by capably handling one of the vacant guard positions. Three of the Blues' most coveted victories were those over Boys' Latin, Gilman, and St. James. ln the Boys' Latin contest, the Saints played an aggressive game to win 23-17. ln the second period, the Blues scored eight points while holding their opponents to one, in the last half the Latinists rallied but could not overcome their host's lead. Hannon was high scorer with nine points. ln the second victory, the Albanites gained revenge for many previous defeats when they swamped Gilman 28-10 on the loser's court. During the second quarter, the Blues rolled up fourteen consecutive points for ST. ALBANS SCHOOL 71 a comfortable lead. The reserves played the last half and increased the lead slightly. The most thrilling game of the year was the finale played at Hagers- town against St. James. St. Albans assumed a small lead at the beginning, but the home team, led by six-foot-three Stewart, cut the Blue advan- tage to one point at the half. With three minutes to play, St. James forged ahead and gained a five-point lead. Then the Albanites came to life and quickly scored three points. With but forty seconds remaining, LeFevre scored the tying basket, but missed a foul-shot attempt. During the tense extra period, the Blues scored five points to their opponents' two. The extra period, incidentally, was the third in four years between the two teams. The three hardest-fought battles were those with St. Paul's, Landon, and Bethesda-Chevy Chase. Although all three were lost, the Blues played their best basketball of the season before succumbing after fierce struggles. Their opponents were highly favored in each of the contests. Against St. Paul's, winner of twenty-seven out of twenty-eight games, St. Albans lost 29-22 to probably the best high school team in Baltimore. That the Blues were fighting against their celebrated opponents is shown by the fact that at the end of the first quarter St. Paul's led only 9-8. Although the eventual winners held a 17-11 lead at half-time, the team surprised their hosts by tying the score at 22-22 with three minutes to play. However, the superior height of the Baltimoreans enabled them to pull away and win. The Landon game proved to be another bitter struggle. The two teams were tied until the last two min- utes of the first half, when two succes- sive baskets gave Landon a 12-8 lead. A second-half rally gave the Saints a 16-14 advantage, but two baskets by Baker from mid-floor provided the winning margin for Landon. Terry and Hannon shared honors for St. Albans, while Amussen and Baker led for Landon. Not at all disheartened by this bitter defeat, the Saints played an excellent game against Bethesda-Chevy Chase. Sinking their long shots consistently for the only time during the entire season, the St. Albans players pressed their fa- vored opponents throughout the game. At the crucial moment, however, when Bethesda led 37-34 with three minutes 1 left, Hannon was carried from the floor l S 72 THE 1940 ALBANIAN with a badly sprained ankle. Then the visitors clinched their victory 41-34. Terry, with fourteen points, was high scorer of the game. The three remaining Blue victories were gained over St. Andrew's, Sidwell Friends, and Woodward. St. Albans played a poor game against a much weaker St. Andrew's team and held only a 17-13 lead at half- time. The teams played on even terms in the last half, and although the Cardinal team outfought the Blues, St. Albans finally won 28-25. The team defeated Sidwell Friends chiefly because of its effective guarding of Neumyer, leading District scorer. Successful long shots in the early moments gave St. Albans a lead which was not threatened in the second half. Blue reserves finished the 27-18 victory. In another easy game, the Saints won their sixth victory over a weak Woodward five, 35-23. Of the remaining games on the schedule, the best and most exciting was that against Fairfax which resulted in a close 24-22 defeat for the fighting Blues. Playing without two regulars, St. Albans held the lead until the last few minutes, when Fairfax went ahead. Hannon tied the score with two foul-shots, but in the last few seconds, Butler, high scorer of the game with twenty points, sank the winning basket. The annual contest with Georgetown Prep was another hard-fought game. Georgetown, led by S. Barrett, was a superior team and won by a 44-29 count. The Saints also played a good game before succumbing to the American University Junior Varsity 33-23. Early in the season the Blues lost to a more experienced Episcopal quintet 38-21, were out- played by Baltimore Friends, 34-17.

XVHIPP AST winter boxing was introduced into the Upper School under the direction of Mr. William XWhipp, well-known Washington physical in- structor. Although there was not enough experienced material to match in competitions against other schools, during the course of the season's training several boys developed into good boxers. However, because of one bad break following another, the prospects were unable to practice, and Mr. Whipp again found himself with un- seasoned boys, against whom he rightly felt it was unsafe to match vet- eran teams. But the gain of the candidates individually is undebatable, for any one who joined the class received very valuable instruction and experience. It is only unfortunate that a definite team could not have represented the School this year. It is unfortunate, too, that while the other winter sports commence immediately after Thanksgiving, boxing begins considerably later. The delay means that, since most of the fellows choose a sport they can begin to enjoy immediately, boxing suffers. With an instructor whom Jack Dempsey used to box for his speed and skill, it is to be hoped that the boxing team will take a more prominent place next year in District boxing circles. 74 THE 1940 ALBANIAN Front row, l. to r.: Bell, Gadd, Rizik.

CLAYTON MICHEL RIZIK, Capfaini cc LTHOUGH the teams lost all three of their matches With other schools, commented coach Tom Clayton, I believe that they more than made up for their defeats by Winning the District Junior A. A. U. Wrestling Championship. He added that even in their defeats the boys did Well, considering that this was the first full season from Thanks- giving to Easter. With sixteen out of eighteen entries reaching the finals in the A. A. U. meet, and with six of these-Alvord, P. Gaillard, D. Gaillard, J. Bell, W. Chandler, and Moffett-Winning their class championships, the team totaled 17 points more than all the other competitors combined. Shortly after David Gaillard secured the quickest fall of the evening by pinning his same opponent of last year in 1 minute 28 seconds with a double wing, Alvord downed his man in the short time of 1 minute 35 seconds with a modified spread-eagle. i ST. ALBANS SCHOOL 75 Hardest fought match was that of 135-pound Captain Michel Rizik, who lost the decision because of lack of aggressiveness. Having been led to expect an extra period, he apparently planned his match accordingly, only to discover at the end of ive minutes that the referee had over- ruled the original decision. The closest contest of the season was that with McDonogh, who won from the Blues 19-13. After two extra two-minute periods, Baird Snyder lost an extremely close match. Another long bout, but somewhat rougher, was Allison Miller,s last-minute victory, in which after securing five near-falls, he finally pinned his opponent in 4 minutes and 58 seconds. Rizik and jim Bell were also winners against their McDonogh oppo- nents, Bell throwing his man in 3 minutes and 26 seconds, and Rizik gaining a hard-fought time-advantage. Throughout the bout, Bell had the advantage, securing two near-falls, and winning easily with a well executed Princeton Lock. In the Hrst meet, Eastern High School won six matches, while the Blues won only two. The most exciting match was Rizik's defeat, after his opponent gained a slight advantage in the first period and finally in the second downed Rizik with a spectacular high-bar and body hold. The two winners in this opening contest were D. Gaillard and Snyder, both of whom threw their opponents with a crotch and half-nelson. Most crushing defeat of the year was St. Andrew's 40-19 conquest. However, in this defeat the Blue matmen showed great improvement over last year, and next year the team promises still greater improve- ment, for at the close of the second-team matches the score was only 13-11 in the Red team's favor. Outstanding among the first team,s matches was Captain Rizik's decision in an over-time contest after obtaining .several advantages by freeing himself from his opponent,s grips and almost pinning him. In the eyes of Mr. Clayton, the best progress was made by Jim Birney, who learned more for his first season than any other. Rizik was a good captain for his aggressiveness and fight to winf' The coach's chief regret is that the limited enrollment of the School does not allow more candidates for wrestling- but if we are able to give more time to wres- tling in the Lower School, I look for one of the best teams in this section of the country in the next few yearsf' 76 THE 1940 ALBANIAN Seated, l. to r.: Doyle, Chewning.

GOETZ Cv ITH five of the seven lettermen returning from last year's District of Columbia and Interstate Athletic Conference Championship team which won thirteen matches and lost only one, the tennis team looked forward to a stellar 1940 season. Then Maurice Cowan, last year's num- ber one man, did not return to Saint Albans, forcing every man to move up one bracket and thus greatly weakening the team. Also the services of number ,four man, Manger, were lost for over half the season through sickness, and those of number five man, J. Myers, for the whole season by a back injury. Despite these setbacks the team, led by Captain Cooper, has lost only three matches out of the eight played to date. With a good two weeks' practice behind them, the team started well with an easy S-2 win over McKinley Tech High School of Washington. Cooper, Chewning, Lee, and Doyle, playing in that order, all won their matches with the loss of only one set. R. Myers dropped the fifth singles in a hard-fought three-set match. Cooper and Chewning won the first doubles handily and the second was defaulted to Tech. ST. ALBANS SCHOOL 77 In the second match of the season, Saint Albans defeated Landon School, SM-35, the last doubles' being stopped because of darkness. Cooper and Chewning again won handily as did R. Myers and Quiggle, but Lee and Doyle both succumbed to their opponents in three sets. Cooper and Chewning won the first doubles, but R. Myers and Quiggle lost the second. Two days later the team gained an easy victory over a weak Saint Andrew's, 7 M-7 The first four members of the team won without the loss of a set, but R.Myers was beaten. Cooper and Chewning won their doubles easily, but Lee and Doyle were pressed to three sets before win- ning. The third doubles was called because of lateness. The School netmen met their first defeat at the hands of Western High School, 5-4. Cooper, Chewning, Lee, and Doyle won easily, but R. Myers and Moses lost. Western won all three doubles by very close scores. The team continued in its slump against Woodberry Forest and lost, 42-2 M. For the first time in the season, the captain and number one man, Cooper, and the number two man, Chewning, lost. Lee and Doyle won, but R. Myers was defeated. Cooper and Chewning won the first doubles in a close three-set match. The second doubles was stopped with one set won by each team because of lateness. Against Georgetown Preparatory School, the Blue netmen for a brief period regained their normal form and gained an easy 6-1 victory. Cooper had little trouble winning the number one singles but Chewning was beaten. Lee, Manger, who was playing his first match, and Doyle won handily. Cooper and Chewning paired to take the first doubles and Lee and Doyle to take the second. In the match with Roosevelt High School of Wfashington the Saint Albans tennis team hit the bottom of their slump and lost, 7-0. Cooper, Chew- ning, Lee, Manger, and Doyle all lost to this year's District of Columbia Champions. Likewise, Cooper and Chewning, and Lee and Doyle, suc- cumbed in the doubles without gaining a set. With a complete reversal of form the Blue netmen blanked the Gilman School team by a score of 9-0. Cooper, Chewning, Lee, Doyle, Quiggle, and Block all won easily, Doyle being the T only one to lose even a set. Cooper 78 THE 1940 ALBANIAN and Chewning, Lee and Doyle, Quiggle and Block paired to win all the doubles against hardly any opposition. The youngest member of the team, Sam Doyle, who played number four until Manger's return, brought further honor to the School by win- ning the boy,s class of the Sidwell Friends School invitation tournament. For the first time in the history of the School the tennis coach, Mr. Howison, was aided in his instruction by a professional, with Mr. Frank Goeltz from the Columbia Country Club in nearby Maryland assisting him both by instructing the younger, inexperienced members of the squad, and by teaching the members of the first team the Hner and strategic points of the game. The School team has greatly benefited from Mr. Goeltz's instruction. With the largest turnout in years, Mr. Howison was forced to abandon his former method of handling the squad. Instead of arranging all the members of the team in a ladder, he put only the first twelve in order, dividing the remaining forty-five into two groups so that those of equal ability might play each other. In the middle of the season, he held a tournament for each division and placed the winners under the first twelve on the squad. The 1941 tennis team will return with only one of its active members lost through graduation-Bill Manger. The prospects for an exceptional year are very good, and if the ill-luck which beset this year,s team does not continue, they bid fair to equal or better the record set by the 1939 championship team.

ARNDS ROSPECTS for a successful season loomed bright this year, as both vet- erans and rookies turned out in great numbers. Regulars from last year,s squad were Captain Jack Hare, Dick Alexander, Burr Piggott, Bill Han- non, Bill Terry, Dave Davidson, Eugene Jacobsen, Ash Fuller, and Paul Cromelin. The infield was much the same as last year's, with Piggott at first base, Fuller on second, Hannon at shortstop, and rookie Crawford at third. In the outfield, Hare held down the center position, supported by newcomers Charlie Jacobsen and Bob LeFevre. The battery appeared strong, as last year's mainstay, Davidson, received the aid of Jimmy Trimble, a promising youngster. The first game of the season was a seven-inning contest with the Alumni, who went down to defeat, S-1. Davidson and Trimble promised great things by holding the graduates hitless while the varsity Was col- lecting nine safeties from the offerings of McC1ehee and Crouch. The lone run for the losers came in the fifth inning on a Walk, a wild pitch, 80 THE 1940 ALBANIAN and two infield outs. The varsity tied the score in their half of the first on singles by Cromelin and Hare, a sacrifice by Hannon, and a long fly by LeFevre. The remaining four runs were all scored in a fifth-inning rally. The Blues won their second game, 7-S , over Georgetown Prep. They got off to an early four-run lead on Hannon,s double with the bases full in the first inning. Georgetown retaliated with two scores in the third, but the Blues scored a run of their own in the same inning. In the seventh, they scored again on LeFevre's triple, and in the next frame com- pleted their scoring with a single run. Georgetown added three points to their total in the eighth, but the rally fell short. Dave Davidson, who allowed but five hits and fanned nine, pitched outstandingly. Continuing their winning streak, St. Albans next defeated St. Andrew's 3-1. While Trimble was giving up but four hits and striking out nineteen, the Blues picked up a total of eight hits. Hare scored the first run in the third inning, when he singled, advanced to second on a walk, stole third, and came home on a wild pitch. I-Ie again scored in the fifth. The final tally was made in the sixth inning on LeFevre's walk and stolen base, and on Hannon's single. The opponents' run came in the ninth on a single and several poor throws. Against Episcopal the team met its first defeat, 8-7. Though outhit, the Blues held a one-run lead until the seventh inning, when two singles and two errors produced a pair of runs for the eventual winners. In the eighth, Trimble relieved Davidson on the mound, but the Blues gave him poor support, and Episcopal scored two more runs, bringing their total up to 8. In the last half of the same inning, St. Albans scored twice, but the rally fell short of tying the score. Woodberry Forest made it two straight defeats for the School when they defeated the Blues 6-S. Trimble went the route on the mound and limited Woodberry to six hits. St. I Albans opened the scoring in the second inning with one run, but their op- ponents recovered with one run in the third, two in the fifth, and another in the eighth. The Blues showed their aggressive spirit by rallying in their half of the eighth to produce four runs and a one-run lead. Cromelin's double was the big blow of this inning. But ST. ALBANS SCHOOL 8 1 with two out in the ninth, an easy grounder went through the legs of a St. Albans inielder and two runners scored to win the game for Woodberry. The team has some consolation for these two defeats in the fact that both were caused by committing errors and not by being out-hit or out- pitched. The game with Gilman was the closest, most exciting, and best played contest of recent seasons. The Blues' 2-1 victory was especially enjoyable because they beat a pitcher who had two no-hit games to his credit this year and a team which had won nine straight games. But the believe-it- or-not element in this feat was the fact that Captain Hare, who had never pitched a game for the School, was called in from the outfield to go the entire distance against him. Gilman scored in the first inning on a triple and an error, but from there on until the end it was a pitching duel between Plitt, of Gilman, and Hare. The Blues tied the score in the fifth, when Hare was hit by a pitched ball, stole second, and scored on LeFevre's single. They won the game in the last half of the ninth, when Cromelin, who got on base by an error, scored on Terry's hit. - So, although two games have not yet been played, the season is already a success. And the team will long be remembered for its fighting spirit and its ability to come from behind and win. Next year,s team will have many veterans as a nucleus for a successful team, as only four members of this year's starting line-up are leaving School. Alumni .......,. . . . Georgetown Prep ......

The Trail Club A NEW organization was instituted in the School this year when a group of veteran hikers formed the Saint Albans Trail Club. lnterest was first aroused in hiking three years ago, when Mr. Phillips, a member of the Appalachian Trail Club, led Alexander, Schoenfeld, Terry, and Hare into the Virginia Blue Ridge for a week among such colorful haunts as White Oak Canon, Hogback Mountain, and Mary,s Rock. These hikers met early in the fall this year and elected Mr. Phillips president of the Club and Hare secretary. They also drew up a consti- tution, which states that before any prospective hiker may join the Club he must take a probationary hike with some of the members. On this basis of selection Rowell and Piggott were admitted to the Club, and they accompanied the veterans on an extended Easter trek down into the picturesque Shenandoah. On this trip two members turned in an unusual performance, cover- ing thirty-two miles in less than eighteen hours of day-and-night trek- king. Leaving camp in the middle of the night, they hiked by moon- light to a distant mountain, on the summit of which they cooked break- fast and watched the sunrise. Turning back, they arrived in camp by mid-afternoon.

IT WAS a quiet day in the northeast sector last Monday, and I had little trouble in chartering a plane to fly up to the front. By the sheerest co- incidence my pilot was an old classmate of mine at Saint Albans, the inimitable 'QWild Bill Manger, once a full-fledged Lieutenant in the R. A. F., but recently demoted to the rank of private because of an unfortunate misunderstanding which led him to drop propaganda leaf- lets on his own front lines instead of the enemy's. Lieutenant Manger, I learned, had also been valuable on reconnaissance duty for his ability to take pictures, until one day he dropped his camera overboard while trying for an unusual angle shot of the Eiffel Tower. We landed close up to the lines, where, according to my pilot, I would find several old Saint Albanites in Captain Derek Schoenfeld's company of the District of Columbia National Guard. First to greet us was Custis Hall, one-time model airplane magnate now serving as a mechanic in the air force, who had come out to the flying field to refuel our plane. Nearby, in a spacious dugout, 1 found Captain Schoenfeld himself, who happened to be at mess with a large group of officers. The Captain was in the act of making an announcement before the assembly, and I caught the words, There'll be regular artillery practice at 3:15. Please bring heavy equipmentf' Later, when the meal was over, Captain Schoenfeld told me how he had sold his sheep ranch in Montana and joined the army, at the same time that Dick Alexander had terminated a promising maritime career by resigning his commission as captain of a ferryboat on Narragansett Bay. Dick now spends most of his time in a deep, secluded dugout, where he is working on some plans he originated for a new-type field piece. The new gun, as he explained to me in some detail, is designed to fire backwards instead of forwards, thus deceiving the enemy and perhaps revolutionizing the entire process of warfare. 1 QCOnfinm'a' on Page 86j Lilze the A xg - ,. fi ttszfse2,-4f'fw,sfjs-,t Jr .s-,L-5 3' f, ,,,'.-W, f r,:,,iX28'v,fyis5,,'4 V pgs F6611 ay PCC HE YEARS have brought many changes to Saint Albans.

When war came, he joined the mechanized units, and now drives a super- charged CC-10 tank, which has earned him a reputation as the fastest tank driver in A. E. F. I had a long talk with Alex Walker, the fighting chaplain of the 99th, who had given up his post as Canon Precentor of the Washington Cathedral in order to join the army. Chaplain Walker was apparently oppressed by many worries, the greatest of which was private John Winant, who had recently been up for court-martial on the charge of smuggling large quantities of champagne into the trenches. Private Winant's acquittal was a stroke of good fortune, for the presiding officer of the court that was trying him turned out to be his old classmate, Colonel Forrest Holmes, whose knowledge of legal proceedings came from eight years' experience as Justice of the Peace at I-Iyattsville, Maryland. When I talked to Private Winant, I found him thoroughly fed up with the war, and anxious to resume his political career by running for re- election as Governor of New Hampshire. I caught only a glimpse of Staff-Lieutenant Jack Myers, who before the war had made such a brilliant name for himself as the foremost New- Deal brain truster of President Roosevelt's fourth term. When I saw the Lieutenant, he was scurrying off somewhere in a great hurry, deeply engrossed all the while in scribbling notations on scraps of paper and stufhng them into his pockets. According to Captain Schoenfeld, he was probably in the act of drawing up another of his routine reports, which he always handed in late or at the last minute, much to the annoy- ance of the General Staff, who wanted to know why President Roosevelt hadn't taught him to plan his time. fC0ntinucel 011 Page 885 -71.661 Wm :we Za QM' MELVERN ICE CREAM Deuclous md!

Prior to the war, while he was managing a Lincoln-Zephyr automobile sales agency in Dallas, Texas, Niel had never dreamed that he would ever have to look at another French verb. Lieutenants Myers and Platter, I learned, both spend a great deal of their time at the headquarters of Major-General Carl Luebben, whose quiet efhciency has elevated him to the highest rank held by any officer as young as he in the entire army. When Carl went to war, he gave up a large-salaried position as Circulation Manager for Breezy Stories magazine. Another Saint Albanite in Captain Schoenfeld's company is Ellsworth Alvord, who created a major scandal in June, 1940, by finding and cor- recting several mistakes on the College Board's Gamma examination form. When war broke out, Ellsworth was devoting all his energies to a search for the missing roots of unity, which he believes he can find by means of a new four-dimensional geometry he invented especially for that pur- pose. Ellsworth's knowledge of mathematics is now instrumental in the Commissary Department, where, when not busy peeling potatoes, he keeps the books. Far out on the edge of no man,s land I ran across Privates Hannon and LeEevre, occupying a strategic foxhole they had just captured from the enemy. Known far and wide among the armed forces, I am told, are the exploits of these two stalwarts, who, together and unassisted have overcome whole enemy platoons by sheer physical prowess. It is said they use the same tactics once so painfully familiar to Saint Albans's foot- ball opponents when LeFevre was at halfback and Hannon at guard. Prior to the war, the two chums had been separated for several years, during which time Hannon had been appointed head coach of the Wash- ington Redskins and LeFevre, ace saxophonist and self-styled successor to Charlie Barnet, had organized a talented swing band that swept the country on the 1952 Metronome poll. Among the outposts I also found Private Courtney Sunday, almost obscpred from View in the bottom of a partially completed trench, where he was working with a pick and shovel. Formerly president of the Atlas Excavations Corporation, Private Sunday is one of the most skillful trench-diggers in the regiment.

A registered veterinarian and the one-time owner of Washington's largest horse-and-dog hospital, Doctor Hare is now taking care of a large number of thoroughbred artillery mules somewhere back of the lines. Trible, who used to be a private detective in Brooklyn, is now rendering invaluable service to the army as a secret operative. Unimpaired by a large and conspicuous stature, he is particularly adept at slipping through the enemy's lines and getting hold of their secret plans, which he copies down word for word before escaping to safety by the skin of his teeth. Three members of the Class of 1940 are not in the fighting zone. Walter' Swift, whose quiet manner and hnely chiselled features were always clear proofs of an Indian ancestry, discovered soon after leaving Saint Albans that he was a direct heir to a large tract of land in Okla- homa, together with a score of oil wells and a score of million dollars, the property of his late fourth cousin, Chief Roaring Buffalo of the Sioux. He immediately purchased Bill Manger's racing yacht, and is now on a diplomatic tour of the South Seas, reputedly spreading propa- ganda for the Allies. Not to be outdone, Burr Piggott, after an unfor- tunate love affair with a cafe-society glamor girl, is drowning his sorrows in furious orgies of gambling at Monte Carlo, preparatory to signing up for ive years in the French Foreign Legion. Safe and prosperous is John McClure, one-time prominent member of the New York Stock Exchange, who left the United States after considerable trouble with the Securities and Exchange Commission. He recently amassed a huge fortune in arma- ments, reputedly by salvaging obsolete machine guns from public parks and selling them to belligerent nations. At the present time he is dicker- ing with Mussolini on a ucamphorated gunpowderf' a sort of mothball compound, which he guarantees will make projectiles travel 600 miles per second faster. f fEdif01 5 nofeg Theraboveg dispatch was written byw Van Ness Philip, who at the outbreak of the Third World War, had resigned his post as Ainbassaidor to the Court of St. James to get back into the journalistic profession, which was his first-love.

Albans Boys 102 THE 1940 ALBANIAN Miscellaneous ARRANGED below are a few various and sundry scraps of conversation which embody some of the old stand-bys of the faculty, and which in the future will probably have as much connection with those who gave them endurance as names or faces. Many of them will have meaning to only a few persons such as the boarders, and certainly no one will get the significance of all, but in days to come we hope that these bits will give new vigor and strength to fading memories. Anyone fortunate enough to be on hand at the time might well hear Mr. Lucas relating this classical tale gas he relaxes with his ever-present pipes. We cannot hope to reproduce here that certain quality of narra- tion which make out headmaster's anecdotes so enjoyably-unique, but anyway the yarn goes something like this: 'QOnce when I was in training camp during the War, our bunch had a change of command, and the new officer was a very, very young looking chap. Soon after he arrived, a notice was posted to the effect that the outfit would be reviewed by the new commanding oilicer, and went on to state how the drill as to be con- ducted, et Cetera. Right below the bulletin, in large, heavy letters, some wise-guy had written the quotation And a Little Child Shall Lead Themf' Well, this bird saw it and was frightfully burned up. Oh, boy he was sore! We had the review as scheduled, but almost immediately after it was over a notice appeared on the board that the next day our outfit would take a fearfully long hike, in heavy marching order, and gave particulars as to equipment, and so forth. But just below the notice there appeared in even larger letters the sentence, 'And a Little Child Shall Lead Them on a D ---- d Big White Horsel' U This one is by our beloved Papa Chasseaud, who also wears a bronze victory button for services over-seas: Here, boys, on the board, are a few pearls of wisdom with which the College Board will try their best to trick you.

I-low was my hand hurt, Jake? Well, I'll tell you. I was walking along a road in Flanders one day, and as it was dreadfully crowded with men and guns, your dear Mr. Chasseaud was well over to one side. Suddenly I noticed that my shoe was untied, and knelt down to fix it. They were lovely shoes by the way, Cannon shoes, made in New York. I had two pairs of them that I wore all through the War. Lovely. Well, there at the side of the road I was just getting to my feet, and had put out my right hand, palm down, to steady myself when along comes one of these things, oh, what do you call 'em, they drag after the guns? Caissons, that's it. Well, along comes one of these damn, stinkin' old caissons and runs right smack over my hand. No, it didn't break anything, just crushed it fearfully.

K., I had something happen to me which 1,11 bet none of you boys would ever get over. Of course you know that the mountains out there are simply infested with rattle- snakes, of which we campers had to be particularly careful. I suppose that some of the more experienced of you know that in the winter time these snakes, in large numbers, roll into one large ball, as much as for mutual protection I suppose as for anything else. Well, we happened to be out there at the time of the year when these snakes were beginning to unwind and seek water. In this state they are quite dangerous. Now then, one day I was sitting on a fallen tree near a stream, just resting and reading a book of poetry which I always took along on these trips. I. K. was sitting on the ground near me, and happening to glance at him, I saw that he had the most terrified look on his face imaginable and was staring open-mouthed at the ground between my feet. Naturally I followed his gaze, and there just between my legs was a huge rattlesnake, no less than eight feet long and as big around as the calf of my leg. A glance sufficed to show me that there was nothing to do but remain quiet, as the snake was evidently going to water. I just went on reading, with as much unconcern as possible, and after an hour or so the snake crawled away. Old I. K. was so scared I'11 bet he,s still talking about it!
