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.

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.

MINUTE or so after the first period bell has rung, a rocket-like red Chevrolet careens around the circle and screeches to a quick stop. In another instant, a blond, red-faced boy has reached study hall and is vigorously attempting to quell the usual after-chapel riot. This brawny individual is none other than Johnny Reeves, who has just arrived after a hair-raising race from his home to school. As captain of the football team which won the I.A.C., Johnny,s bruising tackles and rugged blocks were a constant inspiration to the squad. This fall, his football abilities were recognized when he was one of two boys chosen to represent St. Albans on the All-Prep Team. His own class recognized his leadership and good judgment by adding to his other duties that of Class President. In spite of his multifarious activities around school, Johnny is always willing to comply wth the adventuring desires of his friends. Answering every request with a cheerful sure', or okay , he is seldom to be found at home over weekends. So for both his sound common sense and cheerful personality whether on the benches of the Government Club or on the football field, Iohnny's departure from St. Albans for the Army will be deeply regretted by all those who worked with him, whether faculty or students. ...,,.94ft 'I M IRI X 4, Allll l X ,f -f Elm t '14 91 'miiig g X SEN1ORS194S
