RALPH WILLIAM LEE, III Born: Inna 4, 1927, Washington, D. C. Entered: Inne, 1943. Activities: STA-2 Football, '45g STA Foolball, '44, STA-2 Basketball, '44, Vestry, '45. Awards: Vcstry pin. College: Princeton. Hobbies: none. 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

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.,

No, it is not a robot bomb, - it's just Jack Lockwood riding up on his motor-scooter. With a rending of metal and tearing of tires marking the end of the Arlington run, Jack, face flushed from the pre-Chapel race, slips from his perch and ambles into the Lane-Johnston Building. 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. His ravings about Maggie, Carol, Sarah, and Peg, as well as his frequent prom- ise 'to show us the girls over at W8CL', have endeared him to us over the past five years.
