, K. is B .1 Q. 16 i if THE 1940 ALBANIAN ROBERT STERLING LE FEVRE Bob', Shorty LeFeev Born: Supl. 3, 1920, Bridgc'j101't, Conn. Enierczl: Sepfcfuzber, 1939. Athletics: Football, STA, 19395 Basketball, STA, 19405 Wrestling, STA-WT, 1940, Base- ball, STA, 1940. College: Plailadvlplaia Textile School. 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.

ST. ALBANS SCHOOL 1 5 FORREST SHEPPERSON HOLMES, JR. il Bum Sherlock Holmesie Born: Sejlfenzber 20, 19223 WdSlJil7sQf071, D. C Enfcrcd: Svplembcr, 1934.

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. Good luck at Princeton, Holmesie!

ST. ALBANS SCHOOL 17 CARL GEROLD LUEBBEN Country Cousinv L, Born: April 3, 1921, Milwaukee, Wise. Eniercd: Iannary,1934. :EP ' Q' in f Athletics: Basketball, STA-2, 1937, 193 s, 1939.

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.
