Prelects of Lower School 00N after the opening in September, the entire Lower School chose Bill Stevens, Jim Collins, Geoffrey Eckles, Wilder Baker, Bill Hobby, Tom Bradley, Lyman My- ers, Napier Shelton, Bob Shorb, and Guy Steuart, as Prefects for the School year. BillC Stevens received the greatest number of votes and thus became Head Prefect. The Second Form boys Were selected by their schoolmates for their outstanding qual- ities of judgment and leadership. The Lower School Prefects have many duties similar to those of the Prefects of the Upper School. To fulfill their task, they keep the students in order at all times. They are in charge of the lines to and from Chapel, of seating the boys in the Little Sanctuary, and in general are responsible for the smooth functioning of the Lower School. To be chosen a Prefect is one of the highest honors for a St. Albans boy. This year, the ten Prefects have been very effective. Bill Stevens, the Head Prefect, and Bob Shorb, Treasurer, have formed a good combination for leading the other Prefects in their Work. The experience gained by these boys Will serve them well if they are chosen as leaders in the Upper School. LOWER SCHOOL 1945

Choir S-:wior Crurifer Jlllliljl' Crzrrifvr RICHARD REED Rom-Liu' Lucie SAMUEL POWEL LTHOUGH the choir boys must keep difficult hours and make many sacrifices, they perform their duties admirably and without complaining. Rehearsals for Sunday services take up all their free study periods in the morning. ln addition, participation in athletics is impossible, for afternoon rehearsals and services leave little or no time for sports or other extracurricular activities. Yet despite these handicaps, the choir boys rank high in scholastic ability and in the estimation of their fellows. The Choir is the oldest organization in the School, and with the Cathedral serv- ers forms an important link between St. Albans and the Cathedral. Members of these organizations take part in the daily services there. When Mr. Ellis C. Varley became choirmaster three years ago, he was almost entirely unknown to us, but since then he has won enthusiastic acclaim for his splen- did work with the choir. The Christmas Eve and Easter services have been great successes, and the quality of the music has drawn large crowds of worshippers to hear the services. The Choir has also made several appearances on the radio which have greatly increased their already wide reputation for fine music. ORGANIZATIONS 1945
