I've been here since the C Form, and I didn't even know the guy was in the Class. What does he That he has been elected as a Prefect attests to his popularity and ability.

It is no simple job to assemble biographies of 45 people, to be accurate, to be kind, and to be original. Pete ' I took this task willingly, and he has done it well. Convincingly, ig ' he has wheedled material from the unready, and eliectively, he has forced material from the recalcitrant. In short, Pete n F-'-'ax'- has done a first-rate job of running the largest and most L 4 sensitive part of the ALBANIAN. ii X I-Ie has never lost his temper under these pressures.

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 ' .

He still doesnit exactly have that glean and hungry look and everyone will testify that the grin is still there. Nick Friendly has an instinctive sense for the comical and ridiculous which is unparalleled among his classmates. Life is a gay experience for Nick and all those who are fortunate enough to be around him. Mr. McGrath, who makes his living by teaching St. Albans boys to be good readers of his- tory,,' is constantly astounded at Nick's ability to make this sometimes mundane task a real joy.
