The things that have been real to us this year, as to the Sixth Forms of the past, are senior privileges, College Board Examinations, dances and I.A.C. Championships, but they will soon give Way to the new realities that previous Sixth Formers are facing in the Pacific or in Germany. This book is, then, a kaleidoscopic view, the picture in word and camera of our passage through St. Albans, which is for us a stopping place, a proving ground, and a future memory.

SENIORS 1945 Class History HE CLASS of 1945, perhaps the most heterogeneous in the history of the School, will long stand as an example of how well the atmosphere of St. Albans will unite students of diversified temperaments into a solid class. Since a third of the members were new to the class this year because of acceleration in the summer, many people were skeptical how strong the resulting unit would be. The results, however, were far better than the most optimistic had hoped. We cannot say that we are the most versatile class ever to have graduated from St. Albans, but we can say that our interests are varied and that we possess, probably to the same degree as the classes before us, our musicians and athletes, scholars and artists. The average age of the class is seventeen and one half, and of the twenty-nine members graduating this June, the average number of years of study spent at St. Al- bans is five and one half. Today there are six members who have been in the School the full eight years,-Adair, Jenks, Morgan, Oliphant, Perry, and Reeves. 1938 brought to St. Albans Reed and Birney, and the following autumn saw Beck, Harman, Monroney, and Schoenfeld enroll. In 1940, Byron, James, and de Wolf joined the group, and they were on hand to welcome our English cousin Owen the following year. Bill McCulloch was the sole recruit in 1942, and the next year Ericson and Kier were newcomers. 1944 was the biggest year in the history of the class, with eleven accelerated boys taking on the duties of seniors. This group included Birney, who had been at St. Albans since 1938, Hollerith, Lockwood, Plumb, and Powel, who had come in 1940, Blaisdell, who entered School in 19413 Miller, a new boy in 19425 and Austin, Collin, Lee, and West, who entered the following year. The Class of 1945 has not been a particularly athletic group, but it has C011- tributed outstanding members to the various other activities of the School. The stu- dent body and faculty will remember Bill McCulloch's rousing For He Is An Englishman in the Glee Club production of NH. M. S. Pinaforevg Morgan's faithful editing of the News,'g Harman's political strategy and skill in defeating opposing amendments in Government Club by the device of 'compromise resolutions'g Tom Perry,s hard work on the Vegtryg John Schoenfeldis guidance of the School as Senior Prefectg and Sid Collin's patience in putting over the Sponsor System. Outside of the Cathedral Close, members of the class have shown their willing- ness to make St. Albans a part of the community by wholeheartedly responding to Mr. Lucas's plea for volunteers to help at the Stage Door Canteen. Most of the class will enter service shortly after graduation, and a few will be able to attend college for perhaps a year before they j0in the Army or Navy. Two members of the Class, Hollerith and Lockwood, left during the course of the year,- the former to enter the Navy and the latter tO begin training at Ge0rgetOWH- Thus, for us as for other classes who have graduated during the war, St. Albans has filled and will H11 in the future the place of both SCl100l and college, anchor and memory.

Herbic',, 'rG7d1111:jl,,, Azalea NE EVENING at supper Papa Chasseaud said Pass the butter, Granny , and ever since that time the boarding students have reserved for themselves the right to call Herbie by this name, for they are the ones who see him eating at the dinner table, completely exhausted, with his glasses pulled down on his nose. This appearance of exhaustion is justified, for Herbie is a hard worker and is active in sports. At least once each year he arrived from the Activities Building with either a broken arm or water on the knee. Then it is that he enjoys complete luxury, for friends help him eat, make his bed, and dress him. When Herb is teased, a brilliant red glow comes over his face, the famous Adair blush. And never awaken him in the morning, for he usually keeps a knife by his bedside, and if disturbed too abruptly, he will be up in a second with the weapon at your throat. He groans, walks, and talks not very audibly in his sleep, and at times has been found sleeping peacefully on the floor next to his bed the following morning. Herbie is homespun. Wise in plow wisdom, ,. M he is willing to give free Cand goodj advice to 4 budding farmers, and his English compositions Q' XM are usually on such subjects as How to Kill ' 'mm . ,, .

The son of a naval oflicer, Ted came to us from Pearl Harbor, where his father had been stationed. Be- cause of his Winning smile, a gracious manner, and quiet personality, he made many friends here at school. This amiable smile, We should add, attracted many admirers from the opposite sex as well. Ted has two hobbies, stamp-collecting and singing. On Saturdays, he can be found in some second-hand store searching for odd stamps for his collection. Limited to issues of the British Empire, it numbers at present in the thousands. On Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Sixth Period, Ted's tenor voice can usually be heard echoing from the Glee Club Room in the Lower School Building. Edls activities in the liter- ary field were shown this year when he gave able assistance to the production of the 'tAlbanian,'. Q- One can easily imagine the consternation which was caused in the traditionally naval- 'f I 1, 3 minded Austin family when Ted announced 14' IW 1 that he had decided to attend the United States -V QT. g Military Academy at West Point.

Stn , Biffle , Tooic GC HERE goes that song again, sings out an unseen, ragtime voice to a pedal ac- companiment. There goes 'Tooie' again! chorus his fellow Sixth Formers. Well- known are Stuart Beck's imitations of the Hit Parade. Even without song, an occasional crewcut, gay clothes, cheerful banter, a free gait, a ready smile, and a pat on the back for everyone instantly mark him as 'happy- go-lucky'. At social gatherings, his joie ele vivre and genial self-assurance are much in evidence, and his smoothness is much admired by the ladies. But such a picture is not altogether accurate. 'Tooie' is a student at St. Albans who has carved an important place for himself in the School, -soccer letterman, member of the News Board, Prefect. Although he is the first to admit that books are not essential to his life, 'Stu' applies himself vigorously to his studies and has maintained a consistently good scholastic record. A travelled life has given him a taste for plays, music both classical and popular, the gentler sex, and social activities in general, Z I I . . . . -fl '::l!L!

AVF, A1'iy,', Spark, Plugv GL EY, FELLOWS, Who's going to 'Chevy' Saturday night?', This familiar ques- tion immediately identifies short, smiling Arthur Birney, one of the socialites of the senior class. But in spite of his many activities, Art still has some time left to partici- pate in school affairs. The last of a line of Birneys who have attended St. Albans, Art has been very ac- tive in the class of 1945. President of his class from the time he entered St. Albans in 1938 until he accelerated last summer, Spark Plugl' has been sports editor of the News , Prefect of the School, member of the Dance Committee, and magician ex- traordinary, with the professional name of Alexis the Greatn, or 'lThe Great Alexisn. Arthur's interest in song-Writing has produced the celebrated song 'lOh, Mary , which was widely popular during the winter term of his senior year. Lately, Arthur has taken an interest in repairing cars and in finding a Way to drive all the time with only an Av Book. During summer school he ended Weeks of research by finding out that a car could be 7' X2 f'!' ,, 1, 1 sf' , driven on a combination of gas and Renuzit f KX Wm y cleaning fluid. Many boys used this strange Q! I A fuel in their cars, but after driving for a few 2 in ,Hr I, WZ, days .on this substitute for gas, they concluded if ,,,,,, I that it was far better for themotor to use gen- ,W ff ,gf uine gas instead of the substitute, which made f gf I I the car rock when it climbed a hill.

Tom , T.B.,' OM IS ONE of the few boys in school who has managed to combine laziness and efficiency, the best results with a seemingly careless approach. This characteristic is probably due to the fact that he developed early in his St. Albans career, as business manager for both the NeWs', and the Albanian , a habit of doing what had to be done without appearing to do it at all. For although he seems to spend most of his time in the Sixth Form Room, or at the movies, or sleeping, the fact remains that both the News,' and Albanian have operated at a profit during his terms as Busi- ness Manager, advertisements have been procured, copy has been checked, and the books carefully kept. No student and not athletic CTom was finally dragged out on a tennis court, protesting violently, oncej, Tom is popular with both students and faculty because of his Willingness to cooperate in any extra-curricular proiect which involves indepen- dent effort, and he has managed to steer an even and unperturbed course in the midst of temperamental faculty advisors. - IF YOU , .- Whether Tom's future is that of navigator, ' T 'I 5 'Zio pool champion of Georgetown, or President, f A ' S 44 his character can best be summed up by the i f ai remark he made When faced with a deadline: others would have said The situation is seri- jig 1 VQTQYT T ., ' f ill ous, but not hopeless , which Tom para- if ,Tr wg ' ' phrased, The situation is hopeless, but not se- gil, riousv. 4 gigs, if SENIORS1945 JAIXIES EDGAR BYRON Born: Inly 14, 1927, Wfilliarnsport, Mary- lana'.

His genial hospitality has become famous in all circles. Any night one is sure to find a gay party at the Byron,s home to which he is always welcome. Wherever there is a gang and a piano, Jamie can be found playing Hog Town Bessiew, his own version of Dark Town Strutters Ballf' He is also known for his remarkable ability and great interest in both soccer and baseball, and he has been the ukingpinv in organizing this year,s baseball team. Jamie's constant supply of witty jokes, straight from the corn country of Mary- land, have become the envy of all his classmates. His uncontrollable hair and happy- go-lucky manner have made him one of this year's unforgettable characters. The school appreciates his tiring and thankless job of taking attendance and will miss his beaming face at the door each morning.

Then a silent stocky fellow slips into the senior line as it files past, and we know that Sid Collin has arrived for another strenuous day at school. For with the same ease that characterizes Sid's accomplishments, Sid has driven his car to school without the gaping fender dents that so often identify a St. Albans car around Washington. Mild and tolerant, good-natured Sid is one of the few members of the Sixth Form at whom no one can become irritated, and his sense of responsibility led last fall to his positions as head of the Sponsor System and president of the Albanian.,' Although Sid is a football player and a wrestler, he is invariably found in sev- enth period bending over an assignment for the next day. One of the two boys at St. Albans who have successfully done four years' work since entering in the sum- mer session of 1943, he has carried without mishap one of the heaviest schedules in school, . A 'ii and his name is usually to be found on the E S14 headmasterls list.

Upon closer examination, we see that the noise was caused by the depositing of a small, black leather suitcase, whereupon we immediately know that Bradford de Wolf has arrivedifor lunch. Bradford's inevi- table suitcase, in which he hides his schoolbooks, is a traditional feature of the Close. Brad has been a connoisseur of the decorative arts since a European childhood. A natural genius for intricate handcrafts supplements his interest in furniture, paint- ing, tapestries, guns, and objets fart, and much of his time is spent in his elaborate shop, in which he often transforms a piece of wood or ivory into a stylistically per- fect Louis Seize stool or a delicately scrolled cigarette holder. His scientific bent is not only responsible for his collection of firearms, but frequently leads him to specu- late on the connection between science, philosophy, and human nature.

This figure may be obsolete, for Pat has been growing so fast over the past two years that no one can be quite sure just how tall he really is. Pat's main interest is aeronautical engineering, but food and pipes run close seconds to it. A hurried gourmet, Pat can often be seen at luncheon passing his plate down for a fourth or fifth helping. It seems that, at such times, the World revolves around eating, for he is often heard to sigh for the good old Roman banquets when you could recline and eat at the same time, to Pat an ideal of gastronomical delight. As for pipes, Pat is strictly a connoisseur, for he has one for every day of the week, and carries each one about in a little red Wooly bag. As an artist, Pat has painted this year in Mr. Stambaugh's art class, producing scenes of carnage usually revolving around aeroplanes and fires. Although he is not principally interested in studies, he often takes an interest in classes which deal with anything remotely connected with engineer- ing. Caesar,s bridge and the flight of angels A ff p lim-rzzfb 1 interest him as technical problems of engineer- A ing.

What did you expect with California going Democratic,-Hoo- ver?,' This remark, resounding in the ears of the disconsolate supporters of Governor Dewey, could be heard frequently throughout the Lane-Johnston Building last fall. For Shep',, an ardent Roosevelt man and a true product of California sunshine, played an important and almost solitary part in the support of his candidate before and after Election Day. 1 Shep came to St. Albans back in 1937, and after a brief stay in California in his Form A year, returned to enter Mr. Sof1eld's Form I the following autumn. Since then, he has given his classmates a good illustration of how to put schoolwork on an equal basis with extra-curricular activities and still remain near the top academically. To football opponents in the past two years, his two-hundred pound frame has proven a formidable barrier, and his delight in verbal battles has given the Govern- ment Club Conservatives an occasional rough time of it since last autumn. Many a time, the remark uso what? or what does V g that prove? has been dropped into a heated discussion about the Conscription Bill or the lj - ' - me as - H 'i K, TS Presidential Election, and Shep can certainly be found nearb waitin to ounce.

This consideration for others and his good nature have won for him a great number of friends at school and in Washington. However, try as he may, he cannot bring himself to call this city his home. If at times he seems to be daydreaming, one can be sure that he is thinking of Pennsylvania. Since Porter first presented his tall, lanky form on the school campus, he has plunged himself wholeheartedly into the activities of the school. His interest in ge- ology has made him a particular joy to the Science Department, as one can see by his enviable marks. However, Porter has also been conscientious in all his other subjects and has had no trouble with the faculty except for Mr. Lucas. There was some dif- ference of opinion between them whether Porterls name was Porter or Andy',. Without doubt Porter Kier has the honour of having more nicknames than any other person in school.

Sonny SENIOR entering the noisy Sixth Form Room during seventh period would probably find a calm, blond-haired boy sitting thoughtfully behind a stock of books, quite unruffled by the confusion reigning about him. This hardworking, quiet soul is Ralph Lee. Sonny entered St. Albans in the summer term of 1943, and by taking sum- mer courses has managed to finish four years' work in only two. During those gruel- ling ten-week courses in the hot summer, Ralph showed a cheerful spirit under the least pleasant conditions, and has gained the unqualified respect of the faculty and the friendship of his classmates. Scholastically, his only difficulties have come through his failure to see eye to eye with Mr. Hurlbut on certain details of German. Athletically, he has shown great ability in football and basketball, as his charges as tackle on the football squad were fierce, and remembered. He does not confine himself completely to athletic and aca- demic pursuits, however, for he can be seen at most of the school dances. X f ff Xyffgf The future, although uncertain, has not X7 made Ralph any less determined to seek his 6 ,X 9 engineering training at Princeton University X where, we are sure, his perseverance, good f H A L 'j sense, and athletic ability will be of great value A X to him. g :Ig ii 3 Qfuffi Kg SENIORS194S JAMES BOOTH Locicwoon, III Born: April 26, 1928, Wfusbingfon, D.

A conscientious student as well as a champion wrestler, Jack has been one of the stalwarts of the School since his entrance in Form I. As Captain of the 1943 wrestling team, he has proven his ability at sports. And as one of the boys who, because of the war, was forced to accelerate, he has shown his willingness to stay on a job, no matter how disagreeable it is. A jack of all trades, The Ripper has successively studied piano, drum, and bass fiddle.

One of the most colorful characters in School both in personality and dress, in his own unique way he has been able to employ his talents in many extra-curricular activities. Since he has many ideas of his own, his scathing wit is the terror of any Sixth Former Whose opinions differ from his. For the last two years, Bill's Voice has been the bulwark of the Music Depart- ment, and we shall long remember him for leading School singing with what Was Voted as the loudest Voice in Chapel , and for his lusty roaring-forth For He Is An Eng- lishmanv in H, M. S. Pinaforen. In athletics, he was end on the varsity football team for two years, andtliefcliool will miss his hard tiackli and spectacular catches. And when not participating in a sport, he is one of the team's most ardent rooters. Scholastically, Bill has kept up the standard of the class by being frequently on the Headmaster's List. His ability for leadership and organization has been shown by his election, by the School and class, as Prefect, Dance Committee member, and Class Treas- urer. In the future, Bill intends to enter West Point, but his immediate plans are indefinite. The School wishes Bill all the success in the World in whatever field he enters. 1 I l 'uh f -Am' 'Q-. if y 'F G -44 l 4 ll : r m 5 . v , 'iz :af SENIO RS194S JAMES LOWER MILLER Born: july 16, 1927, Concordia, Kansas.

Tall and dark, Jim is easily recognized about St. Albans by his retiring nature and his typical prowling gait in the halls and on the athletic field. Jim came to St. Albans in 1942, but he did not join the Class of 1945 until this year. ln short order he has earned the friendship and respect of all his classmates. His interests are centered mainly in athletics, ranging from football to ping-pong, and his speed and smooth movement down the field or court demonstrate his natural athletic ability. Last year Jim attended the summer session in order to finish his schooling before being drafted into the army, and he has bent all his efforts in order that he might fin- ish the courses required for graduation this summer. Although not a brilliant scholar, he usually maintains a passing average in all his subjects. Jimmy never attends the School dances, probably because of his bashful 1 . and retiring nature.

Mike came to St. Albans in January 1939, when he joined Mr. Miller's section of Form A, and since that time has been busy converting his classmates to his Lib- eral point of view, his admiration for William Gibbs McAdoo, or simply to the idea that 'Oklahoma should not be given back to the Indians'. Although by nature inclined to take the easiest way out of a situation and pur- sue the path of least resistance, when Mike is goaded into battle, he can make his op- ponent see the Oklahoma point of view. This demon-like ferocity will be long re- membered by an opposing player from a nearby school who carelessly stepped on Mike's face during a game. taking an active part in the debates in Govern- ment Club. As a bulwark of the Liberal Party, his personality is unmistakably present, wheth- er in logical debate or in the form of silent dis- gust or inaudible mutterings of anguish at Conservative stubbornness.

S.T. , L.T. , Rabbit , rrR0y::, rrLcCJ5 T IS PRACTICALLY an axiom to say that whenever one goes into the News Room or down to the tennis courts one will see Roy Morgan. And remembering the im- portant offices he holds in most of the School organizations, one requires little im- agination to visualize him, after his graduation and subsequent entrance into the Ma- rine Corps, as a general dictating peace terms to the Japs. Come on, fellas , says LeRoy to some malevolent heelers who, feigning terror and playing upon their Editor's good humour, scuttle in all directions in the News Room. It is this even-temperedness and his effervescing wit which have made him one of the most popular seniors on the Close. Roy's perfectionism and his interest in photography met one evening after Gov- ernment Club when he assisted a News reporter in taking a photograph of eX-Sen- ator Watson.

Parker is a born Washingtonian, the fifth generation of his family to have been born here, which in these days is quite unusual in a city which has probably doubled its population in the last four years. He is also one of the long-standing members of the class, for he entered St. Albans back in 1937 in Form B.

His sense of responsibility and Willingness to tackle unpleasant jobs came to the fore While the 1945 Albanian was being prepared for the printer, for no arduous typing task was too long and tiresome for him, and he plunged willingly into suddenly-assigned biography and sports stories Which required a great deal of routine research.

Lord Geojn, Geoff OTUND and cheerful, not always conservative, delightfully naive, and somewhat indefinite,-that's Geoffrey Owen, whose qualities we have come to associate with Great Britain in general. Although we welcomed him into our midst as far back as 1941, we have been unable, in all the intervening years, to make him lose his British accent, on the contrary, he has influenced us to the degree that such strongly un- American expressions as Hello, old man , and Jolly goodv are now common on the Cathedral Close. It is paradoxical that Geoffrey Owen, the Ellesmere QShropshirej lad, should have been voted Most All-around Boy at last year's Commencement Exercises, but there could hardly have been a more appropriate choice. Geoff has filled his niche as a tennis and soccer player, as a class leader scholastically, and has been the chief contributor of delightfully-fanciful Midways to the News .

Tom might have been one of the school's great athletes if it had not been for an injury he received in a varsity football game in 1940.

The sound of leather meeting leather is heard, and the crowd cheers as it sees the ball soar high above the heads of the op- posing halfbacks to the St. Albans forward line. Bob Plumb has again broken up the enemy,s attack with one of his unbelievably long kicks. Ever since he entered St. Albans in the autumn of 1940, he has exhibited great athletic prowess. He played on the varsity soccer squad his Third Form year and barely missed receiving his varsity letter. Last year he was a stalwart halfback on the championship soccer team, and his excellent performance helped to win many a game. However, soccer is not his only sport, for as his build indicates, he has played tackle on various St. Albans football teams. 1 Not outstanding academically, Bob is a conscientious worker and he always suc- ceeds in receiving adequate grades in his subjects. History interests him, however, and one of his favourite pastimes is unearthing unusual books in Papa Chasseaud's library. 95753935 , , It K.

Although Sam can arouse the ire of his classmates when it suits him to do so, his good humour and eternal smile have made him well-liked by the school. Always ready to indulge in a game of pool or ping-pong in the Sixth Form Room, Sam is a better-than-average player. During his five years at St. Albans, Sam has always upheld the scholastic aver- age of his class and several times has received awards for his achievement, for few boys in school know so well how to apply themselves in the classroom or to prepare themselves for tests. Sam's athletic ability is dormant during the winter and spring terms, but he bursts with energy at the first sign of the football season, and received his major let- ter in football this year. Add to this activity the not-inconsiderable job of keeping under control a large number of choirboys, and one can easily see how Sam man- ages to keep busy. 55 Sam has always made out well with the op- 2? i X Oo-Q f 'u Posite seX, and the dances are few and far-be- p, 1 - ,RX 'SxH5o7' tween that do not see Sam and his date.

During a long career here, Dick has proved himself to be a cheerful and dependable worker, and was consequently appointed Crucifer of Washington Cathedral and was elected to the Student Vestry. His friendly, laughing manner has won him many friends in the lower forms as well as in his own class, and in his duties at the Cathedral he has earned the respect and good-natured chaffing of Mr. Berkeley, the Verger. Scholastically, Dick has never been especially outstanding, largely because the outside-reading list has proved to be the West Wall between him and a passing grade in English. CSince this sentence was written, however, the West Walll' has been breached both in Germany and at St. Albans.j Dick's deep bass voice is well known in the Glee Club and the Little Sanctuary.

In another instant, a blond, red-faced boy has reached study hall and is vigorously attempting to quell the usual after-chapel riot. This brawny individual is none other than Johnny Reeves, who has just arrived after a hair-raising race from his home to school. As captain of the football team which won the I.A.C., Johnny,s bruising tackles and rugged blocks were a constant inspiration to the squad. This fall, his football abilities were recognized when he was one of two boys chosen to represent St. Albans on the All-Prep Team. His own class recognized his leadership and good judgment by adding to his other duties that of Class President. In spite of his multifarious activities around school, Johnny is always willing to comply wth the adventuring desires of his friends. Answering every request with a cheerful sure', or okay , he is seldom to be found at home over weekends. So for both his sound common sense and cheerful personality whether on the benches of the Government Club or on the football field, Iohnny's departure from St. Albans for the Army will be deeply regretted by all those who worked with him, whether faculty or students. ...,,.94ft 'I M IRI X 4, Allll l X ,f -f Elm t '14 91 'miiig g X SEN1ORS194S JOHN SHORT REID SCHOENFELD Born: December 6, 1926, Wasbington, D.

West, Birney. Prefects H15 year's nine Prefects have given the Upper School a just, yet lenient adminis- tration. The size of the demerit lists compared with those of former years indicates the manner in which the School has been run. The demerit list was small, not be- cause the Prefects were uloafingi' on the job, but because the student body respected their authority and co-operated with them. Perhaps the greatest achievement of this yearis Prefects has been their ability to retain the friendship of the other boys while at the same time performing their duty. This success is due to their tactfulness in handling delicate situations and to their understanding of the various problems which arose during the year. The Prefects are elected by the entire Upper School student body as those who can best fulfill the responsibilities which come with leadership. The Senior Prefect is in turn chosen by his fellow Prefects. As a Prefect, a boy must help the Headmaster as much as possible in the running of the School, and must uphold and fulfill its highest ideals. This is particularly important' for the Senior Prefect, Whose actions and conduct are a standard for the entire student body.

Prelects of Lower School 00N after the opening in September, the entire Lower School chose Bill Stevens, Jim Collins, Geoffrey Eckles, Wilder Baker, Bill Hobby, Tom Bradley, Lyman My- ers, Napier Shelton, Bob Shorb, and Guy Steuart, as Prefects for the School year. BillC Stevens received the greatest number of votes and thus became Head Prefect. The Second Form boys Were selected by their schoolmates for their outstanding qual- ities of judgment and leadership. The Lower School Prefects have many duties similar to those of the Prefects of the Upper School. To fulfill their task, they keep the students in order at all times. They are in charge of the lines to and from Chapel, of seating the boys in the Little Sanctuary, and in general are responsible for the smooth functioning of the Lower School. To be chosen a Prefect is one of the highest honors for a St. Albans boy. This year, the ten Prefects have been very effective. Bill Stevens, the Head Prefect, and Bob Shorb, Treasurer, have formed a good combination for leading the other Prefects in their Work. The experience gained by these boys Will serve them well if they are chosen as leaders in the Upper School.

Choir S-:wior Crurifer Jlllliljl' Crzrrifvr RICHARD REED Rom-Liu' Lucie SAMUEL POWEL LTHOUGH the choir boys must keep difficult hours and make many sacrifices, they perform their duties admirably and without complaining. Rehearsals for Sunday services take up all their free study periods in the morning. ln addition, participation in athletics is impossible, for afternoon rehearsals and services leave little or no time for sports or other extracurricular activities. Yet despite these handicaps, the choir boys rank high in scholastic ability and in the estimation of their fellows. The Choir is the oldest organization in the School, and with the Cathedral serv- ers forms an important link between St. Albans and the Cathedral. Members of these organizations take part in the daily services there. When Mr. Ellis C. Varley became choirmaster three years ago, he was almost entirely unknown to us, but since then he has won enthusiastic acclaim for his splen- did work with the choir. The Christmas Eve and Easter services have been great successes, and the quality of the music has drawn large crowds of worshippers to hear the services. The Choir has also made several appearances on the radio which have greatly increased their already wide reputation for fine music. ORGANIZATIONS 1945 Standing. left to right: Birney, J. Austin, D. Daniels. Seated, left to right: G. Owen, Jenks, Schoenfeld, I-Iollerith. Cathedral Servers VERY morning of the School year, weather conditions notwithstanding, one of the seven Cathedral Servers assists at the 7:30 Communion Service held in Washing- ton Cathedral. Like the School Vestry, members of che Cathedral Servers are symbols of the close relationship of the Cathedral and the School. In spite of the harrowing sensation caused by lack of food and long kneeling which beginners often feel when they first serve at the Altar, members of the group of Servers can be justly proud of their duties, for they represent the most honoured tasks which the School can give them. It is the responsibility of these boys, dressed in a purple cassock and White cot- ta, to aid the officiating minister at the Communion Service by handing him the Ele- ments, lighting the candles, and by performing other duties necessary in the Rite of Holy Communion. As much as Sacred Studies, the organization of Cathedral Servers is an important part in the School's education program. Since the position of the Servers is one of responsibility and honour, the Vestry has to exercise great care in their selection of boys for these positions. At Commence- ment, each boy receives a Bible from the Bishop of Washington for his unselfish efforts. THE ALBANIAN Standing, left to right: Reed, Hollerith, R. Lee. Seated, left to right: Jenks, T.

Its duties include the recording of every service held in the Little Sanctuary and every meeting in Mr. Lucas's office. Dur- ing the latter, the contributions which are made to the Little Sanctuary are allocated for distribution to charitable organizations Worthy of the Schoolis support. The ap- portionment is decided upon by the Vestrymen with help from Mr. Lucas. Its duties are essentially the same as those of vestrymen from other parishes. They include the preparation of the Chapel for the services, ushering the boys to their places, and straightening up after services. Every Tuesday morning a Vestry- man reads the Lesson. This year, under the direction of Senior Warden Tom Perry and other members of the Vestry, the School pledged 51,151 to the weekly system of offerings, and sub- scribed over 351,400 to the Community War Fund Drive. Membership in the Vestry, demanding faithfulness and a sense of responsibility, is one of the oldest honours that St. Albans can confer, and great credit is due this year's members for faithfully discharging their responsibilities. On the Vestrymen, perhaps more than on any other students, rests the responsibility for making the School and the Church Work as a single unit. ORGANIZATIONS 1945 Left to right: Berry, Reed, Stirling. The Chimes Ringers AITHFULLY each morning and evening the chimes in the Little Sanctuary resound over the Close to call the boys to chapel. Although the chimes are heard for only ten minutes each day, a great deal of preparation is necessary before each perform- ance. Since it is customary for the chimes ringer to play the hymns which are pre- scribed for the current church season, he must be familiar with the hymnal and must practice frequently during his spare time. Although there are only three chimes ringers this year, these boys have main- tained the fine record for punctuality and performance which has been established and upheld for many years. Ringing the chimes is more difficult than one would suppose, and perfection can only be obtained by much hard practice. However, the chimes ringers perform their task cheerfully and with utmost skill. A This year We are graduating a boy who has been a chimes ringer for Hve years. Although his ability and dependability have hitherto received little recognition, We Wish to thank Richard Reed for the long and faithful service which he has rendered the School as chimes ringer. We also wish to thank the other chimes ringers for their fine service, and We know that they will continue to maintain their fine record in the coming year.

Glec Club LTHOUGH the Glee Club has only a small membership this year, the boys under the direction of Mr. Davison have produced several splendid programs. The Christ- mas Carol Service, Hrst produced last year, was repeated with renewed success and ac- claim from those who attended it. The Glee Club also took part in a program pre- sented for the benefit of the Washington National Symphony, which was held in the Trophy Room. Musical talent was gathered from every part of the School for the performance, and the offerings varied from opera to boogie-Woogie. The Glee Club this year has been run on an entirely different system from pre- vious years. Instead of meeting after School hours, the boys have their schedules ar- ranged so that they can meet Mr. Davison for rehearsals in the sixth period, on Tues- days and Thursdays. Next year the Glee Club will regret the loss of McCulloch, Reed, and Schoen- feld,-all graduates. The fine voices of these boys have swelled the chorus for many years, and the quality and range of their tones will be lacking when the Glee Club resumes its activities next autumn. Nevertheless, with the great amount of latent talent in the School, the Club looks forward to as successful a year in the future as it has had in the past years.

A much needed reduction in the size of the editorial col- umn and the removal of Alumni Notesi' to page three left space for a greater va- riety of feature material. Critic,s Deskl' and Poet's Corner were made standard features, and Men of St. Albans,', opinion columns, and crossword puzzles were instituted. Because of the writings of Frank Harman and Geoffrey Owen, the editorial and Midway columns have never been better. An invaluable assistant most of the year, Stuart Beck deserves greatest credit for writing practically unaided entire page one of the Senior Issue, while the third consecutive Birney Sports Editor, Arthur, swung the sports page almost alone. Though his strict economy was at times irritating to the less financially minded Editorial Board, John Austin's good business sense proved indispensable. But the driving force behind the paper has been Editor-in-Chief LeRoy Morgan, whose self- sacrificing interest, versatility, and efficient management have enabled the 'News,' in spite of many handicaps, to maintain its traditional standard of excellence. THE ALBANIAN Left to right: Birney, McCulloch, Chairman: T. Perry, R. Smith Dance Committee ESPITE rationing restrictions, lack of bands, increased costs, and the curfew, the Dance Committee, with the expert assistance of Mrs. Smith and her helpers, has been able to maintain the standard of the St. Albans proms. Though this task may seem easy to the average student, the members of the committee are in a state of mental and physical exhaustion from the first announcement of the dance until the final strains of the National Anthem. Besides their curricular duties, the com- mitteemen must audition and contract bands, Write and mail invitations to the fac- ulty and guests, and must be responsible for the success of the prom in general by collecting the fee of 52.00. The quality of the dances has been appreciated by the students for, despite the lack of gasoline and cars, each dance has been Well-attended, not only by the stu- dents, but by many alumni. Jack Morton's orchestra played for the Football Prom, Bob Leeis Aristocrats were introduced in the Mid-Winter Prom, Madelyn Sheppardis Government Girlsv for the Publications Prom. During intermissions St. Albans' artisfe vnodewze, Eric Ericson, has offered his own selections on the trumpet. If the Senior dance is as good as the three previous proms, the graduating class is sure to spend a Wonderful last evening at St. Albans. ORGANIZATIONS 1945 Back row, left to right: Reed, E.

The Albanian HIS year the Albanian Board has had less time in which to produce its yearbook than any other former board, for in order that the Albanian be published by the day of graduation, the greater part of the copy had to be sent to the printer before April First. However, through the strenuous efforts of the Chairman, Sid Collin, and Tom Blaisdell, Business Manager, in extracting contributions from the procrastinat- ing members of the Sixth Form, the material Was organized and sent to the printer on time. The purpose of this year's Albanian Board is to present a Wider and a more colourful picture of life at Saint Albans by the use of numerous photographs. The expert photography of Mr. Connelly has contributed immeasurably in accomplish- ing this aim. Eric Ericson has continued the cartoons, innovated several years ago, and has produced real masterpieces of creation and Hne penmanship. This year it was necessary for the Business Board to obtain a large number of advertisements to meet the increased cost of publishing the book. However, through the excellent management of Tom Blaisdell, the costs have been met satisfactorily: and We of the graduating class, here, present our final Work with the sincere hone that the reader will enjoy reading it as much as we have enjoyed producing it.

Government Club HE NATIONAL ELECTION, Dumbarton Oaks, and Peacetime Conscription were three of the varied and interesting topics that aroused vigorous discussion in the Gov- ernment Class meetings this year. Under the chairmanship of Mr. Bertram D. Hulen, State Department correspondent for the New York Times, the eighteen members met Friday evenings in the Kellogg Memorial Room in the Activities Building. The issues involved in the Presidential campaign were the Hrst topic for discus- sion. The first part of the session was devoted to an analysis of the point of view of the two candidates. Then Conservative Leader Frank Harman proposed the nomi- nation of Governor Dewey, and Liberal Leader Morgan followed with the proposal that President Roosevelt be elected for a fourth term. Highlight of the Club's four- week study of the issues involved in the campaign was the appearance of Socialist Albert Hamilton, who analyzed the policies of both parties. By an overwhelming vote of 13-4, the Class on November 3 passed a resolution that Thomas E. Dewey be elected President of the United States. With the Presidential Campaign history and the post-mortems completed, the Government Class devoted itself to discussing the Dumbarton Oaks Conference and ORGANIZATIONS 1945 its effect on post-war planning. The Club heard an informative address on this sub- ject by Mr. Francis Colt de Wolf of the State Department, who warned that world- wide peace would never exist unless the spirit of the people is behind it. At the final meeting on January 12, the interest in the topic was so great that the meeting was extended an additional fifteen minutes by unanimous consent, an action unprecedented in the history of the Class. During the course of the evening, seven amendments were proposed, of which three were accepted. After fiery discus- sion and defeat of amendments by Orem and Hardison, Monroney presented an amendment stating that no nation in the Security Council should be allowed to vote if either an aggressor or a victim of aggression. It was carried by unanimous vote. Then Reeves' amendment that 'six small powers to be represented in the Security Council should be admitted by alphabetical order, was passed with one dissenting vote. The Morgan amendment which followed, stating that only a majority of the Council should be required to determine an act of aggression, was accepted 8-4. At that point a final vote on the amended resolution was taken, and resulted in its pas- sage by a IS-2 vote. The two following meetings were devoted to the situation in the Pacific and Far East. Mr. Yih Chen, Washington Director of the Chinese News Service, ad- dressed the Club on January 14. After a brief outline of the Chinese philosophy of individual dignity, he described the incidents in the life of a typical Chinese boy of the listeners, age. He stated that since closer physical ties are bound to draw the Orient and Occident together, it is imperative for American youth to become ac- quainted with the nature and philosophy of the Chinese of their own generation, who, the speaker explained, are more serious and mature than American boys of the same age because of the turbulent conditions which have existed in China for nearly three decades. On January 26, Captain Howard E. Orem spoke on the Pacific War. To aid the class members in his review of Pacific strategy, he brought with him a large map and distributed smaller ones to the members and guests. He then described the the moves of both sides in the Pacific, and presented the reasons for them. He com- menced with the Japanese offensive down through the Philippines and the advance through the Dutch East Indies and eastward through the Solomons and the Gilbert Islands. The purpose of this advance, he explained, was to cut off Australia prepar- atory to invading that continent. The second part of his review of the Pacific War was devoted to the American counter-advance back to the Philippines. After explaining the three possible routes, he stated that Admiral Nimitz struck through Micronesia in order to safeguard the drive by MacArthur through New Guinea up to the Philippines, and to remove the major obstacle there of Japanese bases which barred our path. Peacetime conscription became the third topic for Government Class discus- sions when, on February 2, Mr. Hulen presented to the members the resolution That THE ALBANIAN the United States should adopt a permanent system of universal military training after the war as basic in its policy of national securityf, Mr. Hulen had purposely drafted it broadly in order to allow the members to make amendments concerning the age and length of service of the conscripts. In order to familiarize the Class with the topic, Mr. Hulen outlined two bills previously presented to Congress. Both required the conscript to take at least one year's military training, and made him subject to call for a period of four to eight years. At an active and informal 'tquiz sessionv the following Friday, Frank Harman asked Mr. Hulen whether he thought that the reason this proposal was being pushed through now was that its advocates feared that public opinion might be against them after the war. Mr. Hulen replied that this might be the case, for Americans usually become lackadaisical after wars and refuse to see ahead to the next conflict. When Bradford de Wolf and John Hinton expressed the opinion that a ear's militar trainin would reatl im rove the eneral health of the nation's Y Y s 3 Y P U g n p p youth, Geoffrey Owen countered that a man,s entire physical conditions can not be changed sufliciently in one year to warrant conscription. The meetings were en- livened b fre uent clashes between Porter Kier and Frank Harman. Y q On February 16, Congressman Monroney of Oklahoma outlined, from a purely objective point of view, the arguments both for and against compulsory military training. Setting forth Hrst the objections of the bill's opponents, he said that the country should not decide on military training when her judgment is affected by war hysteria. He emphasized that the adoption of conscription by this country would show to the world that we do not believe an enduring peace is possible, and he added that the training which the conscripts would receive would be obsolete by World War III. Presenting the arguments of the proponents of the bill, Mr. Monroney said that public apathy may defeat the bill if it is postponed until after the war, just as a similar bill was allowed to die after World War I. Also, he added, training gives the conscript physical advantages, contact with all classes of people, and knowledge of various trades. Above all, he concluded the nation must be militarily prepared against future aggressors and not trust to the oceans and our existing power to halt an enemy. Since the Albmzimz goes to press before the final vote on the Conscription Bill has been taken, and before the last topic of the year has been announced, it is not possible to record the last discussions and amendments. If, however, the interest in the Government Class continues as it has for the earlier part of the year, the members of the Class can look forward to a year which has been one of the most successful of its history.

The Athletic Association N APRIL of last year, the major letter recipients of 1944 met in Room A to choose, from their number, the Athletic Association of 1945. In this meeting, John Reeves and Robert Smith were elected Chairman and Secretary respectively, and McCulloch, Perry, and Schoenfeld were selected to complete the committee. This year's Athletic Association has made no radical changes in the rules and procedure of the organization. It has, as in past years, carefully considered the qualifications of each participant in the school's sports program, and has awarded the school insignia in the cases which they have deemed deserving. The Athletic Association, however, did deviate from its constitution by award- ing major letters to the soccer team which tied for the District Championship. Heretofore, major letters have been awarded only when the championship clearly belonged to St. Albans. However, because of the excellent record of the team and the fact that examinations prevented a play-off, the Association felt itself justified in presenting major letters to the team.

WHELAN HEN football practice began last fall, Mr. Wagner announced that a new coach was going to help to train this year's gridmen. Tommy Whelan, former Cath- olic University star, was the man chosen to aid Mr. Wagner in the task of making thirty-two out-of-condition boys into a well-knit group capable of playing football. St. Albans played its opening game of the 1944 season against Devitt on Cctober 16, on Satterlee Field. Leading until the final quarter, the Blues, with two touch- downs, scored on passes from Bob Smith to Bruce West and a safety by Stirling, became exhausted and fell prey to Devitt's sparkling aerial offensive. The Devitt team left the field on the long end of a 23-16 score. The following week the Blues journeyed to Charlotte Hall. There on a rain soaked held they were able to score once, this on a reverse from West to Schoenfeld, and their opponents twice. ln the final period with the score 13-7 in their favor, Charlotte Hall once more moved toward the Albanite goal. This time, however, the Blue line held, and the game ended with the Marylanders ahead 13-7. Tl-IE ALBANIAN' St. Albans, eleven registered its first victory of the season by overwhelming Balti- more Friends 46-6 on Satterlee Field October 27. With the backfield running wild, the Blues rolled up 33 points to their opponents none by half time. By the end of the game, Mr. Wagner had sent in all the reserves, the score being St. Albans 46, Bal- timore Friends 16. Outweighed and outcharged, the St. Albans eleven went down 19-7 before an inspired Georgetown Prep team on November 3. Prep scored in the Hrst, third and fourth periods, but St. Albans was not able to tally until the final quarter, when a lateral from Williams to Harwood to Bob Smith was good for siX points. The game ended soon after the Blues' tally with Georgetown Prep 19, St. Albans 7. In their second I.A.C. game of the season, St. Albans defeated St. Andrews 13-O on the losers' field on the tenth of November. Both the Blue scores were registered by Bob Smith in the Hrst half, neither team being able to score in the final two quarters. In a thrill-packed football game, St. Albans' eleven defeated a fighting Landon School, 28-19, a week later on the loser's gridiron. With Schoenfeld and Harwood sparking the way, the Blues drew first blood early in the second period, when Schoen- feld took a reverse from Harwood and raced thirty yards for a tally. This victory marked the eighth time in the last ten years that St. Albans has defeated Landon. In the final game of the season, St. Albans edged out St. James 7-0 to clinch the I.A.C. championship. The only touchdown of the afternoon was scored by Har- wood in the first quarter at the end of a forty-yard drive powered by Schoenfeld and Bob Smith. The remainder of the game was a seesaw affair, in which neither team was able to score. The game ended with the Blues on top of a 7-0 score.

They became, however, co-winners with Sidwell Friends of the City Championship and ended the season with a record of five wins, two ties, and one loss. The Blues opened their season by defeating Sidwell Friends, on Satterlee Field. The game was exciting, for Friends broke through to score shortly after the kick- off. Through Baxter's tackling, however, the ball was kept evenly in both ends of the field, until Monroney tied the score in the second period, and Byron kicked a goal in the closing minutes of the game. The second game, also played on Satterlee Field, resulted in the defeat of Lan- don, 1-O, on February 2. When Monroney scored in the second period, the game be- came exciting and in spite of the Browns' threatening the Blue goal, the resistance of- fered by Austin prevented scoring. Six days later the Blues encountered their first defeat at the hands of Friends. In spite of a good defensive game played by Jones and Owen, the Friends, having scored in the Hrst quarter, made two goals in quick succession. Then Byron scored, THE ALBANIAN and Plumb kicked an excellent goal from a free kick near the center of the Held, to make the score 2-3. Following on February 12, was the Georgetown Prep game, which St. Albans won, 3-2. When the score was tied in the third quarter Heartfield, goalkeeper, stopped a ball that curled high over the heads of the backs and went just below the cross-bar. Before the whistle blew Beck kicked his second goal off a pass from By- ron. Byron had previously kicked the other goal. In the 0-0 Landon game, the team lost the chance to tie for the I.A.C. On February 24, the Blues defeated St. James, 2-O. In the first half long kicks by Plumb kept the ball down in the St. James territory. After dribbling down the field in the second quarter Byron centered to Schoenfeld, who kicked the ball through the goal. Williams crashed through the backfield to score for the Blues in the third quarter. To tie Sidwell Friends for the District Championship, St. Albans had to defeat Georgetown Prep. The game looked as though it would end in a tie, for the Blues missed several chances of scoring off Byron's centers and Schoenfeld's superb corner kicks. It was not until the third quarter, however, that Reeves shot a goal on a pass from Williams. The next day the Blues met Friends for the playoff of the District Champion- ship. Both sides played a good game, but the ball remained in Friends' territory and the few attempts later made at goal were all brilliantly stopped by Heartfield. When Beck scored in the third quarter it looked HS though the Blue team would capture the title. On a corner kick in the closing minutes of the game, however, Friends headed in the ball, and when the whistle blew the score was tied 1-1, leaving the two schools co-champions of the city.

STEVENS, Co-MANAGER HIS year the team did not have a particularly good record with live wins and nine losses, but the team did not lack spirit. Bob Smith, one of the three returning lettermen, did a fine job leading the Blues. During most of the season, che responsi- bility of making the points fell on Bob's shoulders, and he did a great job. Derick Daniels, another returning lecterman, did a fine job of ball-handling in his old guard position. Even though Derick did not make a great number of points, the ones he did make were always appreciated. Jim Miller, the third returning letterman, played some very smart basketball and, even though illness kept him out of a few games, made quite a number of points. The first game against Maryland Park was not very successful because of the ab- sence of three of the starting players. When the game ended Maryland Park was lead- ing 32-2S. Next in order followed defeats by Devitt C30-61, Western C40-251, Bal- timore Friends C34-BOJ, and Woodrow Wilson C45-235. The Baltimore Friends game, being the only close game, Was very heartbreaking because it was the first IAC THE ALBANIAN game and because the team got 4 points almost immediately after the starting whis- tle, and it looked as if they might win a game. After losing five straight games the Saints came up against Sidwell Friends whom they beat by the score of 43-35. Bruce West played a remarkable game against Friends, making 19 points. After having tasted victory, St. Albans came up against Gonzaga, which had the best team in its history, and the Saints, after putting up a great fight, went down to a S7-33 defeat. Following Gonzaga the Saints met Woodrow Prep whom they beat 33-23. The first half of this game was very close, one team in the lead one moment, then the other, but the second half the Saints set- tled down and led all the way. Daniels and Harwood shared scoring honors with eight points each. Then the Saints lost two games in a row, one to Coolidge Q48-251 and the other to Boys Latin C32-229. The Landon game was, as usual, hard-fought. Both teams played such defensive ball in the first half that at half-time the score was only 4-0 in favor of the Blues. During the second half there was a little more scoring, and the Saints Hnally won 18-12. The most exciting contest of the season was the game with Bethesda-Chevy Chase. All during the game the score was very close, with the Saints usually in the lead by a few points. During the last three minutes of the game the spectators were out of their seats, while the Blue team, with a three-point lead, at- tempted to freeze the ball, When the final whistle blew the Saints had possession of the ball and were leading, 31-30. The Saint James game was the only game in which the Saints had everything under control. Saint James put up a hard scrap, but they were not accustomed to a floor as big as oufS and Went down tO 21 39-21 defeat. In the last game of the season the Saints met GeofgetOW11 Prep OH their OWU COu1't and Went down to a 46-37 defeat. Maryland Park H.

SHORE, Captain MR. BELCHHR MCHUGI1, Manager GAIN this year the wrestling team was hampered by a lack of competition be- cause of the delay in securing a coach. By che time it was certain that Mr. Belcher of the Faculty was going to coach, most of the other schools had already planned their schedules. Nevertheless, the matmen bolstered by veterans Captain Paul Shorb, Jack Lockwood, and John Hart gave a good account of themselves in their lone match with Baltimore Friends. Late in February the grapplers journeyed to Baltimore to rake on a team which had already wrestled several matches. Saint Albans was further handicapped by the absence of Chappie Berry, Herbie Adair, and Mike McHugh in the heavier classes. Nevertheless, in the 121 pound class Thomas twice pinned his opponent, and in the 125 pound class Lockwood pinned Short in the last thirty seconds. Paul Shorb won his match by default in 40 seconds after dislocating his opponent's arm. Johnny Hart clinched the victory by pinning Trapnell in six minutes and thirty seconds. Because of the absence of the heavier grapplers, Johnny Schoenfeld and Johnny Reeves of the soccer team volunteered to wrestle. They fought hard and made a fine showing in losing to men who the week before had gone far in the Maryland-Dela- ware Interscholastic Championships.

ARNDS HOUGH bad weather has permitted the St. Albans baseball team to complete only a third of its schedule, the team has had a very good record, having won three of their first four contests. Despite the fact that only three of last year's regulars remain, the team has thrown off a pre-season batting weakness to become a well- balanced aggregation that is carrying on the tradition of its predecessors. The only returning outfielder, and the captain of the Blue baseball team, was Jamie Byron, who has held together an inexperienced outfield. Harry Harwood, who has been the first baseman since his Fourth Form year, had a splendid season afield as well as at bat. Coolie Williams, a steady fielder and a greatly improved batter, has ably handled his second basemanis position. At shortstop Dave Carter, a promising Fourth Former, has managed to maintain his position, though he has had to share it with Bob Luce. Over at third, a newcomer, Phil Smith, turned in a very creditable performance. Though his strong peg was responsible for many assists, Phil has not yet attained his batting stride. Behind the plate Bob Smith, a conve rted-shortstop catcher, turned in his sec- ond consecutive season of outstanding per formance both afield and at bat. On the ATHLETICS 1945 mound Derick Daniels ably replaced the slab stars of the past. This year Derick. who had gained badly-needed control, has won two of his three starts and seems on the way to a more-than-successful season. In addition, when Derick was not pitch- ing he was inserted in the lineup in left field in order to utilize his batting ability. In the outfield Johnny Hart and Gordon Linke have won the center and right field positions respectively after a bitter contest with Ericson, Powel, and Faulkner, all of whom seemed destined to see action throughout the season. When hefty Har- ry Harwood, who received credit for the victory over C.H.M.A., pitched, Luce as- sumed the duties of first baseman. After the Wilson game was cancelled on account of rain, the opening game of the season was played on Wednesday, April 18, against Maryland Park High School. This proved to be an easy victory for Derick Daniels, as the Blues won by a 7-2 score. The game was highlighted by Jamie Byron, who drove in three runs with a triple and personally scored two additional runs. This game proved that the team was sound at bat as well as afield and convinced the coaches, by Derick Daniels' four-hit pitch- ing performance, that they had a dependable moundman. In the second game, with Charlotte Hall Military Academy, the Blues again were victorious, this time by the impressive score of 17-4. Harwood, who received credit for the victory, though he was replaced by Daniels in the sth inning, proved to be a very effective pitcher. The whole team participated in the heavy batting attack. In the postponed game with Bethesda-Chevy Chase, the Blues proceeded to vic- tory behind Derick Daniels' five-hit pitching by the overwhelming score of 14-3. The game with Episcopal High School was lOSt 5-6. Because the Allmnizzu had to go to press early this year, it was impossible to cover the remaining seven games. These were with Woodberry Forest on May S, Landon on May 8, St. Andrews on May 11, St. James on May 12, and Sidwell Friends on May 22. Maryland Park H. S. ,,ree,, , Charlotte Hall M. A.

The team has a record of two victories without loss, and Captain LeRoy Morgan and baseballer Bob Smith may soon battle each other to determine who gains the final round of the Tournament. Coming up May 7 are critical matches with Landon and Friends Schools which count in both the IAC and DC Championships, and a match with Coolidge, the out- standing high-school team of the District of Columbia. The Blues are out with blood in their hearts for Friends, which has for two consecutive years robbed them of both Championships with 5-4 victories won in the final doubles encounter. Despite this intensity of purpose, however, they can hardly afford to overlook the Landon team, which is made up of surprisingly youthful and top-notch players who should be, as a whole, unbeatable within two years. Coolidge High School tops St. Albans in points, 8-7, in the Friends tourney, but if Bob Smith should defeat Dick Fink, Coolidge ace, in their pending quarter-final ATHLETICS 1945 match, the score would stand eight-all and St. Albans would capture the cup, since the other two Coolidge representatives have been eliminated, andCoolidge could gar- ner no more points. St. Albans would then be assured of the deciding ninth point, since Albanites Morgan and Smith would meet in the semis to determine who should reach the finals. Even before its start on April 28, the Tournament was obviously going to be a nip-and-tuck battle between St. Albans and Coolidge, whose representatives early secured eight points. Morgan, seeded first, acquired three points for St. Albans as he advanced easily to the semi-finals, defeating the number one player of Western, 6-2, 6-35 number one of St. John's, 6-0, 6-3, and number one of Wilson, 6-2, 6-3. A warm-up match on April 21 saw the Blues whitewash Western, 9-0. Mor- gan won 6-4, 6-15 West, 6-2, 6-3, Eddy Bellinger, 6-3, 6-13 Jonathan Williams, 6-2, 6-2g Albert Akers, 2-6, 6-1, 6-2, and Don Osborn, 6-3, 6-1. In doubles Morgan and West worked smoothly as a net-charging pair, 6-3, 6-4, Bellinger and Akers teamed up and won, 6-3, 6-2, and Williams and Osborn annexed the third doubles, 6-1, 6-0. Their first IAC match occurred the next Friday, April 27, when St. Andrews School made the long trip and lost a heartbreaker, 6-3. Although the Blues captured the singles, 4-2, without the assistance of West, who had a cold, Coach Marion How- ison had his life shortened by five years when it appeared that St. Albans would lose all three doubles and the match. Hopes sank further when Williams and Osborn dropped the number two doubles, 7-5, 6-1, After two hours of a contest that had Blue rooters holding their breaths, Morgan and Bellinger clinched the match with a 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 victory. Akers and Faircloth then squeezed out a hard-earned 7-5, 6-4 win, and the match ended: St. Albans 6, St. Andrews 3. In the singles Morgan won 6-4, 6-23 Bellinger, 7-5, 6-4, Osborn, 6-4, 6-35 and Roddy Lucas, 8-6, 6-2. Williams was edged out 6-3, S-7, 9-7, and Akers, playing the fourth spot, likewise lost.

Bab Blue Football HE BABY BLUES has a better-than-average season this year, winning three con- tests in a five-game schedule. After dropping the first two games, they managed to bring the season to a successful conclusion by winning their three Hnal contests. The Baby Blues were beaten 21-6 by a driving Georgetown Prep team in their first encounter of the season. Although the Blues managed to tally late in the game on a pass from Shorb to Willauer, they were outscored by Georgetown. In the next game they fell prey to a strong Landon team by the score of 12-0. The following week they won their initial Victory of the season by winning from a weak Longfel- low eleven by a 21-0 count. Stevens and Collins were responsible for the touchdowns. Having gotten off to a late start, the Baby Blues then won the fourth game of the season by defeating Landon in a return engagement. The victory over Landon was in revenge for the 12-0 defeat the Albanians had suffered at the hands of the Browns earlier in the season. Two touchdowns by Bill Stevens accounted for the Blues' scoring, which gave them a 13-7 vic tory. The Baby Blues won their third vic- tory defeating Friends by the close margin of 6-0.

Front row, left to right: Baker, Gale, Moffat, VVillauer aby Blue Basketball LAYING an extremely heavy schedule, the Baby Blues were only moderately suc- cessful in their ten basketball encounters of the season. Though they lost three out of four contests to Friends, they managed to wind up the season with a record of five wins and five losses. In a very close game not decided until the last minute, the Baby Blues nosed out Friends 17-14 for their Hrst victory of the season. The following week they were again victorious, this time over Landon by the score of 13-9. After absorbing a 25-12 beating from Georgetown Prep, they lost to Friends by an 11-8 count and edged out Landon 14-13 in return games. A close game and a real heartbreaker for the Blues was their 26-25 loss to the Georgetown Prep team on the victors, court. Though Bill Stevens and Bob Shorb helped the team ring up their largest scoring total of the year, Georgetown never re- linquished its 16-14 halftime lead. The next week the Blues downed Landon in a 16-15 thriller. The game, which had been close all the way, was won in the final minutes when Lyman Myers sank the deciding basket. ln the final game at Friends, the Baby Blues led 7-1 at the half, but despite the defensive work of Jimmy Collins, Friends outscored them in the second half to win 19-14.

Baby Blue Baseball LTHOUGH the Baby Blue Baseball team had played only two out of seven sched- uled games by the time the Albmzian went to press, and although these two games re- sulted in a record of one loss and one tie, the team showed signs of having a poten- tially successful season. Playing Sidwell Friends on April 26, the Baby Blues lost 5-6 in a close, exciting overtime game. The score was tied in the sixth inning, but in the seventh a member of the Friends team made a two-base hit and came in on an error. Four days later, in another overtime game, the Blues tied Landon, 3-3, on the Browns' field. Captain Bob Shorb, pitcher, and Guy Steuart, catcher, formed the Blue battery. Heavy hitters in these first two games proved to be Watkins and Monteith, and play- ing a Hne game in the field were Stevens and Eckles. On the whole, the team was good in the field but not exceptionally strong at batting. This fact was due to the tendency of the Baby Blue batters to strike at few balls which did not suit their taste. But in spite of this tendency, the team has played two excellent games, and the prospects for next season look bright, since Bogley, Wat- kins, and Henry will be returning, and the third team of the Upper School will bene- fit by the addition of Eckles, Monteith, Shorb, Steuart, and Stevens.

Ah, the Mayor and the Editor of the Gourmet, the cafe is greatly honored to- night. Will you have the usual numbers, Mayor? By the way, Eric and his 'I'm Spring Valley Bound' Boys are here to- night and are to be accompanied on the vocals by the King of the Crooners, Bill McCulloch, who has just finished his lat- est film 'The Voice of the Turtle'. And who is that fellow with the fif- teen-gallon hat and the cowboy boots? Why, your honour, that's the new senator from Oklahoma, Mike Monroney. It is rumored that he won the election by being able to sing 'I'm an Old Cow Hand' better than any other candidate in Okla- homa. Well, here are your drinks, boys! You will find your table near those two anthropologists over there. They are Mr. Porter Kier and Mr. Bates Littlehalesg they are collaborating on a book to be called 'The Love Life of the Periophthal- mus'.
