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- .:.

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

S.T. , L.T. , Rabbit , rrR0y::, rrLcCJ5 T IS PRACTICALLY an axiom to say that whenever one goes into the News Room or down to the tennis courts one will see Roy Morgan. And remembering the im- portant offices he holds in most of the School organizations, one requires little im- agination to visualize him, after his graduation and subsequent entrance into the Ma- rine Corps, as a general dictating peace terms to the Japs. Come on, fellas , says LeRoy to some malevolent heelers who, feigning terror and playing upon their Editor's good humour, scuttle in all directions in the News Room. It is this even-temperedness and his effervescing wit which have made him one of the most popular seniors on the Close. Roy's perfectionism and his interest in photography met one evening after Gov- ernment Club when he assisted a News reporter in taking a photograph of eX-Sen- ator Watson. Having failed the first time because the flash bulb burned out, the ama- teur photographers took a second picture, which was apparently successful, and Roy 'iv-' N-WMS-i XL 0 4 QW 52 f EY.: 5 Sf a3 5' ,,f2?fM' X J w A' fn f ' , 9,595 ef Q! 1 qfl' qlfkq wy gs , hw, l l, 51.10 went home thinking happily of the large space the picture would occupy in the next issue of the News Then suddenly the awful thought struck him that, although the shutter had clicked the bulb had flashed, and the lighting on the camera, firm and forgotten.
