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.

, 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.

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.
