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.

PATRICK MACGILL JAMES Born: May 15, 1928, Baltimore, Mary- land. Elzlermla Fall, 1941. Acfit'i.'ivs: STA' . Football, '44. College: zznrlevitlcul. Hob- bies: aerodynarnics, biking. Pal , PaHyl10o T THE TIME the Albanian went to press, Pat James was six feet, three inches tall. 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. It is for his quaintness that Pat will be af' Z remembered at St. Albans. fifzfgfrl Hue WR Us : ' 'fi' R , J arab j1:Y?UH4 1 s w an .,4- 5' -- :aug A . p no?

PORTER MARTIN KIER Born: October 22, 1927, Pittsburgh, Pennsylwmia. Entered: Full, 1943. Activ- ities: STA Football, '44 fManagerjg Gov- ernment Club, Albuniun',. College: Uni- versity of Miebigan. Hobbies: geology, model-building. l , Spider,', Bones , Andy ORTER is probably the earliest arrival at school in the morning, much to the grat- itude of those unfortunates who have failed to look up the English vocabulary for the day. 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. However, he takes this Af 4 chafling in his stride with characteristic good T fi humour and no doubt enjoys it as much as his -2:-I-,izgivi W 3 +11-Q '1,',. . fellow students. f 26 ' . . . aw A If Porter continues to work in future life if ,gf as he has at St. Albans, the School will have an l-ii alumnus of whom it can be proud. -iff ---rj-, Q Q-I- Ll ' 0 -ffi, THE ALBANIAN HH.,
