Out jumps a call lanky figure who pulls out his binoculars to scan the wires for the rare bird which he just passed. Unfortunately, the bird has taken flight in terror at the noise from the hole in Buzzy's mufiler. Buzzy is one of the very few boys at St. Albans to have had the privilege of being both a teacher and a student at the same time. Because of his thorough knowledge of birds, Buzzy was asked to teach a class on ornithology in the Lower School, which he managed to squeeze in among his regular schedule of N, studies during his Junior and Senior years. Besides his class on birds, Buzz has worked up through the ranks in the business department of the 'News' to become an efficient Business'Manager. Buzz, also elected a Cathedral Server, must rise before seven olclock to go to the early service, usually after a late night of studying. In spite of 1- these demanding extra-curricular activities, Buzzy had con- tinued to be a hard-working and steady student since his en- trance in C Form. In the athletic world Buzzy has distinguished himself on the baseball team as a first-rate pitcher on the Varsity and as a good end on the -LV. football team. Buzzy's friendliness and contribution to the class of 1963 have made him a real addition to School life.

BLAKE WINFIELD BLACKWELDER Born: June 25, 1945, Buffalo, New York Entered St. Albans: Form IV Activities: Librarian, IV, V, VI, Football, IV, V, V15 Soccer, IV, V, VI, Baseball, V, VI Awards: StA-3 Soccer IV, V, VI, StA-3 Football, Vg StA-3 Baseball, V Special Interests: Paleontology, geology College: Duke W Blake Sermons in stones and good in every tbingf, i -Sbakespeare LAKE IS L1v1NG in another age. Surrounded by shells, bones, and shark teeth, Blake explains that his treasures are fossils of the Miocene epoch-some 25 to 30 million years old. One of his most prized possessions is a rock containing traces of life of 180 million years ago. Blake spends his summers and vacations along Marylandls Chesapeake Bay, where he searches for more fossils to add to his collection. He now has about 150 varieties. With his mind fermenting in paleontological bedrock, it ' K - l is no wonder that Blake has not been noted as one of the more mph, - active partakers in the Common Life. He has, however, made or X sizable contributions to this year's Varsity football and base- ball teams, and he has been a starter on the undefeated Junior 4 ll I I Varsity soccer squad for two years. In the classroom he re- ,., I x R x rf u lbs 5 1 X K, mains aloof, silent and inscrutable, and occasional efforts by , r fxw the back row boysv to label him as a rowdy in American o 4 be! history class have always ended in dismal failures. ij , N f ' h Also noteworthy is Blake's artistic success. He began K X Q taking art only last year and did so well in water-colors that N li, r 'S this year he has gone into oils.

A call athlete stands at his marks, waiting for the right moment. Suddenly he runs toward the bar, and throwing his right leg high in the air, clears the height. The bar wavers, but remains in position: Lee Chatelain, St. Albans equivalent of Charley Dumas, wins his favorite event. Leeis long legs have also helped him run the hurdles well. Lee has done a lot of work in his hobby, architecture. This year his local history report was on the Kalorama Triangle, an area of town known for its examples of varied architectural styles. For his research re- port, his subject was the Architecture of Washington, an ambitious project for any city, let alone Washington. Lee's interest in architecture is complemented by his ar- tistic sense. This talent is shown not only in Mr. Stambaugh's art course, but also in some of the articles Lee wrote for GYRE. He also accepted the monumental task of running the cartoon department of the ALBANIAN, and a majority of the cartoons are his work. As his classmates see him, Lee is a wild sort of person- a handful of screams, a lot of hair, and some crazy dancing. But beneath this black-jacket veneer is a rather quiet, moody f-X fellow whose sensitivity and perceptiveness are shown at School mainly through his art work and his ability to make friends, these qualities will help him to adjust next year to the beat i society of the Rhode Island School of Design.
