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.

THOMAS MARSHALL COOPER Born: December 17, 1945, Clvarlottesville, Virginia Entered St. Albans: Form IV Activities: Troop I9, Football, V, VI, Soccer, IV, V, VI, Track, IV, Baseball, Vg Tennis, VI, ALBANIAN, VI Awards: StA-3 Soccer, IV, SrA Soccer, V, VI Special Interests: Helicopters, ice skating College: Tlre University of Delaware Coop, Bugs So slrines a good deed in a naugbty world. -Shakespeare 1-ns ABSOLUTE SILENCE of the Sixth Form Room is broken only by the scratching sounds of chalk on cue. 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

He quietly works against time, for he knows that soon the frolicking ones must begin their math and that he, math scholar supreme, will in- evitably be called upon to solve their more difficult problems. George's scholastic abilities are not merely confined to the advanced mathematics course. His schedule leaves him with fewer free periods in a week than the normal person has in a single day. Even though he rarely ever works on weekends, he somehow finds time to do good enough work in his other subjects and to rank in the top fifth of the class. T' 'HT'-f f gk George is prominent in School activities. He has already X xx Il won two Varsity letters this year, and, as Captain of the ten- 1 nis team, he should win another letter, despite his modest , IX insistence that he will not make the team. y tiff- p Born in Turkey, he has been globetrotting ever since. WG I fx MTX. , E. Last summer, he assisted North Korean refugees in building 'J A g I 'X infix a dike to protect their new land from being Hooded. This N y N . experience made a profound impression upon him, which he f 5 U4 has expressed in his several talks on Korea. George was nominated by the School for a Morehead f9r ' Scholarship at North Carolina. He turned this offer down to , enjoy the cold of a New England winter. What is Garolina's B Q -a 2- xv . .
