92 TI-IE 1940 ALBANIAN Calendar Qctober 10. Fan mail?-Larrupin' LeFevre receives a Western Union Kiddiegram during evening study hall, while jealous admirers sit and wonder. October 20. Quizzing his class on Burn's Humble Petition to Bruar Water, Mr. Scott asks Philip what animals come to the banks of the Bruar, and is perplexed by the dreamy answer, Well, sir, the lovers willf' October 21. Photographic duplicity-Intrigued by the Photomatic at the Ice Palace, Swift puts a dime in the slot, poses, is snapped, and finally receives the print of a young lady. November 23. I-le's all wet-Asked why there is no water in the bucket for thirsty players in the Saint James game, Niel Platter tells Mr. Lucas that he doesn't think the team needs water in view of the fact that it is raining. January 9. Asked in history class to name the authors of the United States Constitution, Hall is stumped, but asserts that Martin Luther must have helped. January 22. Roughly awakened at midnight by an earsplitting am- plification of The Stars and Stripes Forever, Upper School boarders jump out of bed in puzzled terror as Alexander gropes desperately to shut off his portable radio, and the wrath of the authority descends to conhscate the infernal machine. February 2. Advertising solicitor Myers resigns in disgust when a downtown clothes merchant whom he is assigned to interview not only declines a five-dollar ad in the Albmzicm but succeeds in selling him a fifty-dollar suit. February 23. After all, what can one expect-A disgruntled Piggott, after attempting vainly and falteringly to describe the intricacies of Disraeli's foreign policy to the modern history class, suddenly flares up, intercepts further cross-examining with the terse question, What do you think I am, a diplomat?', April S. Disney for President-Trible solemnly swears to his friends that Pinnochio,' is the first picture since Snow White the subtleties of which he has been able to understand. June 1. Premature hatching-Members of the Sixth Form, who had expected to receive their Certificates wrapped around duplicates of the last brick to go into the Cathedral, were shocked beyond all comparison to be suddenly and honorably discharged from the School, and to see at last the gates of college swinging open.

94 THE 1940 ALBANIAN Gllaaa will aah Efvatamrni lm E, THE CLASS OF 1940, having traversed the straight and narrow path without stumbling too much and without straying too long, now that we are about to graduate, do hereby resolve to repay our debt to Saint Albans and to society in this, our last will and testament. Upon our successors and our friends and former guides, therefore, we shower the following innumerable benefits: To the Fifth Form we bequeath our unfailing ability to cause the Headmaster to suffer from protracted headaches, in hopes that Mr. Lucas will not be too optimistic at seeing us go. To the Headmaster we donate a twenty-cent package of headache powders. We bequeath our sense of humor, unimpaired by adversity of the most serious nature, to the Faculty, who will probably need it before they get through with us. We bequeath the laws of differential calculus to Professor Einstein, in hopes that he will be better able to understand them than this year's Gamma class. We bequeath Forrest Holmes's unparalleled capacity for worry to Grove Smith. We bequeath John Winantis unparalleled capacity for beer to Byron Sasscer. We bequeath Burr Piggott's consistent punctuality and methodical conscientiousness to Peter Gaillard, in hopes that this treasured gift will be handed down to all succeeding generations of Gaillards. We bequeath Walter Swiftis polished manners and cosmopolitan suavete to Cloyd Marvin. We bequeath John McClure's amazing ability to talk himself out of trouble to Louis Denit, who could use it. We bequeath Custis Hall's dignified restraint to Eugene Jacobsen. QC0ntinued on Page 961 PARKWAY MOTOR CO., INC. . fzilfe '7aa0m Q Service FORD Sales . FAMOUS FOR 5-CENT 3040 M STREET, N. W. MICH.
