College: Massachusetts Institute of Teebnology. Hobbies: weapons, metal and woodworking. S A TALL, blond fellow strides down the corridor on his way to the Dining Room, there is a loud crash in Room A. 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. Brad's soft-spoken, restful manner is indicative of an inherent poise and savoir . Vivre.

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
