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.

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 . .

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.

Day, Tony Anything but history, for history must be falsef, -Sir Robert Walpole FTER SPENDING TWO YEARS in exile from the Senior class fone year in England and a sec- ond year with the Class of '62, , Tony Day returned and was readily reaccepted by his old class- mates. Tony has fallen in with the intellectual group in the class. He certainly has the qualifications. He ranked third in the Senior class after midyears, and he has read widely in philosophy, novels, and history for the AP course. The elfects of this reading are best borne out in Government Class, where he has several times tried to introduce some of his muy reading. A He was elected Editorial Editor of the 'Newsi last spring, U and he has served extremely well in this capacity. He is one I of the hardest workers on the paper, yet he also finds time to write for GYRE and was even seen at an ALBANIAN deadline. Tony,s prestige is highest in Government Class, where he perhaps enjoys the widest respect of all speakers. One of the lcey Liberals, he made a speech on civil rights primarily responsible for a Liberal victory. Since then, he has shown somewhat of a soft spot for Red China, leading the fight for Red China's admission to the U.N. and advocating US. economic aid to the Asiatic power. X j With his intellectual capacity and his leftist leanings, he will certainly be at home at Harvard. We expect much of him in future years. ,Q 1 i ' l f on N ff ' 'f ' .
