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.

ROBERT JOHNSTON PLUMB Born: june 13, 1928, Worcester, Massa- chusetts. Entered: Fall, 1940. Activities: STA-2 Soccer, '43, STA Soccer, '44, '45, All-Prep Soccer, '45, Albanian . 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.

Hobbies: boxing, swimming, fishing, singing. erDiCkns, rrljickyn, rrRiCbv Ick REED is known principally at St. Albans for his good-looking clothes, his friendly manner, and his ability to play the chimes better than anyone else. During a long career here, Dick has proved himself to be a cheerful and dependable worker, and was consequently appointed Crucifer of Washington Cathedral and was elected to the Student Vestry. His friendly, laughing manner has won him many friends in the lower forms as well as in his own class, and in his duties at the Cathedral he has earned the respect and good-natured chaffing of Mr. Berkeley, the Verger. Scholastically, Dick has never been especially outstanding, largely because the outside-reading list has proved to be the West Wall between him and a passing grade in English. CSince this sentence was written, however, the West Walll' has been breached both in Germany and at St. Albans.j Dick's deep bass voice is well known in the Glee Club and the Little Sanctuary. For athletic interest, he has boxing and wrestling, and in 1942 he won his StA.
