As anyone who is ever around him knows, S.V. stand for Spring Valley, Jamie's home. 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.

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

Hobbies: jllzotograploy, rccorrls, stamps, ears. sid s THE ENTIRE school is lined up in front of the Lane-Johnston Building to sa- lute the flag before going to chapel, a green Chevrolet convertible creeps quietly into the circle and parks. 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. And although some of his 6, -N , S 5-' 1 classmates may recall him especially for his 'iii-7 - campaign to reduce the cost of form. dances, ,L u everyone will remember him for his hard- 'f l working integrity and conscientiousness. f - fglul I SENIORS194S
