Col- lege: University of North Carolina. Hob- bies: pigieon-raising, reading. rrB0bu, repluyncv s A mud-covered soccer ball rolls straight for the St. Albans goal, toward it, from out of nowhere, runs a light-haired boy. The sound of leather meeting leather is heard, and the crowd cheers as it sees the ball soar high above the heads of the op- posing halfbacks to the St. Albans forward line. Bob Plumb has again broken up the enemy,s attack with one of his unbelievably long kicks. Ever since he entered St. Albans in the autumn of 1940, he has exhibited great athletic prowess. He played on the varsity soccer squad his Third Form year and barely missed receiving his varsity letter. Last year he was a stalwart halfback on the championship soccer team, and his excellent performance helped to win many a game. However, soccer is not his only sport, for as his build indicates, he has played tackle on various St. Albans football teams. 1 Not outstanding academically, Bob is a conscientious worker and he always suc- ceeds in receiving adequate grades in his subjects. History interests him, however, and one of his favourite pastimes is unearthing unusual books in Papa Chasseaud's library. 95753935 , , It K.

Tommy , Town ' VER SINCE Tom entered St. Albans in the Lower School in 1937, he has been one of the best-liked and most respected boys, by students and faculty alike, in the en- tire school. A leader in school activities, Tom will be long remembered for the outstanding job he did this year as Senior Warden of the Vestry, and for his energy and leader- ship in raising money for the Community Chest. Tom might have been one of the school's great athletes if it had not been for an injury he received in a varsity football game in 1940. Although he has not been permitted to take part in any sports since then, his interest has never lessened, and this year was the assistant coach of the third team in football. R A conscientious student, Tommy reached the height of his scholastic career last ders if math were the only subject he and Doc discussed interests have been mainly women, and his ability to carry on several romances at a time, and get away with it, has been the envy of his Outside of school, Toms ' s - su . +1 .

Although Sam can arouse the ire of his classmates when it suits him to do so, his good humour and eternal smile have made him well-liked by the school. Always ready to indulge in a game of pool or ping-pong in the Sixth Form Room, Sam is a better-than-average player. During his five years at St. Albans, Sam has always upheld the scholastic aver- age of his class and several times has received awards for his achievement, for few boys in school know so well how to apply themselves in the classroom or to prepare themselves for tests. Sam's athletic ability is dormant during the winter and spring terms, but he bursts with energy at the first sign of the football season, and received his major let- ter in football this year. Add to this activity the not-inconsiderable job of keeping under control a large number of choirboys, and one can easily see how Sam man- ages to keep busy. 55 Sam has always made out well with the op- 2? i X Oo-Q f 'u Posite seX, and the dances are few and far-be- p, 1 - ,RX 'SxH5o7' tween that do not see Sam and his date.
