JAMES LOWER MILLER Born: july 16, 1927, Concordia, Kansas. Entered: Fall, 1942. Activities: STA-2 Football, '42, STA Basketball, '44, '4S. College: Universitg' of North Carolina. Holzlvicsz records, stamps. CP-lim!! 66 AY, BABY, wonlt you help me with my math? is Jim Millerls characteristic greet- ing, spoken in a slow, drawling voice. 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. However, he does not Q I Ci . N completely avoid the company of young ladies, 'gp KC f - E and there is a rumour that he has a fairly con- ifl if 1 stant interest in Chevy Chase. ' .U 4' Since his likeable personality and natural athletic ability have been a valuable addition k i X H 1 to life at St. Albans, he will be missed much in 12 f years to come. THE ALBANIAN

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

Hobbies: none. l Miken, Mab011ey VEN though Mike was born in Boston, it would be hard for anyone to think that he came from anywhere else than Oklahoma, for his enthusiasm and genial nature are as western as his brown and white cowboy boots. 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. Whether his ca- reer is politics or not, Mike is sure to bring to whatever he does an honest interest and a clear, straightforward opinion. ,Q . , ' 41.1 5 V ,uv l pub! 7 I fl ,F ,D ,JI 94- ' A was fx fg us' - f s- :fm l- .:.
