There is a doubtful laugh as the tall blonde boy indicates the seven ball, side pocket. We hear a swish of the well-aimed cue, a series of dull thuds as the cue-ball crashes into the three and the three into the seven, three soft knocks as the seven makes the rounds of the table, and a solid clunk as the seven drops into the side pocket. The blonde boy smiles, and his classmates stare with awe. Tom Cooper has done it again. Whether at the pool table, on the athletic field, or in a classroom, Coop is a real asset to his class. Not known as j an athlete, Tom has nevertheless earned several letters. He V J played J.V. football this year until he was sidelined with a Q Ia-. - La., , broken nose, and in the Winter he played soccer. His fancy t ' footwork and quick ball-handling amazed both teammates , and opponents alike, and his aggressive playing helped him ,,,,. X T' -1 I hold a starting position at inside all season. ' l f p Tom also has a fine academic record, and it is known that .1 V. -, '..f he keeps the lights burning well into the early morning hours. if l - I K f V,., He is interested in both math and science, and this year he ' made a successful jump from Math V to Math VI-A. Coop ill. i , 7 has been interested in helicopters for several years, and he plans to build a small one-man 'ijobi' in the near future. A quiet and unassuming boy, Tom will achieve success 1 through his characteristic hard work. But, more important, ff whether chalking a cue or constructing a helicopter, Tom en- joys himself and contributes largely to the enjoyment of others. f 22 SENIORS1963

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.

WILLIAM NORRIS DALE, JR. Born: February 9, 1946, Boston, Massachusetts Entered St. Albans: Form I Activities: Production Club, VI, Gymnastics, VI, Ten- nis, VI Special I nterests: Electronics College: Hamilton Norrie I am not only Witty in myself, but tloe cause that Wit is in other men. -jack Falstaf AST FALL, after two years in Turkey, Norrie Dale returned to the Close as a boarder and quickly built a reputation for himself in several fields of endeavor. His chief interest has been electronics. He is primarily concerned with his tape recorder, with which he has faithfully reproduced a wide repertoire of music. He delivered his Senior Speech on tape recorders and concluded with a typical example of his humor: This has not been a re- corded announcement. He has built his own speakers and also a Morse Code key. He owns the Schoolls only outside radio antenna. Consequent- ly, he has been able to pick up stations as far away as Cuba and Indiana. Seniors have found in Norrie a convenient radio repair service. Also, Norrie is very gifted with his hands. He has made a miniature crossbow, a self-opening trash can, a blow gun, motorized for so he claims, chopsticks, and numer- ous figures and silhouettes fashioned out of surplus wire hangers. v Academically, Norrie is very strong. He was the first member of the class to be accepted at his first-choice college. Possessing a great deal of projiciency in spelling, he was the last person to be eliminated from the St. Albans side in the ' , , spelling bee with Holton-Arms. if P When Norrie departs this June with his tape recorder f and numerous other gadgets, the dorm and the School as a whole will be losing a great deal.
