I have to get ads for THE ALBANIAN. You know as well as I do that if I don't get ads, there won't be any yearbook. You wouldn't want to see White- head go nuts, would you? With this curt answer Bobby leaves his companion dumbfounded and heads for the wilds. Although Bob had to sacrifice sports, much to his dismay, he did contribute greatly to the financial department. Had he not cut athletics, Whitehead might have gone nuts. Rob not only helped THE ALBANIAN, he also contributed some material to an unknown lit- erary publication called GYRE. Much to the surprise of his friends, Robbie got several good poems printed. He appeared in two successive editions and clearly displayed that he has a 0 deep feeling for the world around him. And yet, he remained 0 , a member of uthe fellows. 0 . IL Many people have conjectured about Bob's feeling to- . l 0 ward life, and a large number of friends will jump to praise ix 'X- him.

MARK MELCALF HALLER Born: October 9, 1945, Washington, D. C. Entered St. Albans: Form IV Activities: 'News', IV, V, VI, Government Class, V, VI, Student Council, VI, Prefect, VI, Bicycle Club, IV, V Awards: ferusalem Cross, VI, StA-3 Wrestling, IV Special Interests: Politics, outdoor life, music, Russia, tropical fislv College: Harvard Barry, I-Ialloos A conservative government is an organized lrypocrisyf, cc -Benjamin Disraeli ow TAKE IT EASY, Mr. Fuller. just because Canon Martin has disbanded the 'News' is no reason to get excited. Don't get shookf' And thus, Mark Haller, Editor-in-Chief of The St. Albans News, consoles the faculty adviser in face of the great disaster. With this casual manner Mark triumphed against the many problems which confronted him during his editorship. He laughed off the consistent, panicked rumors that he was not going to be allowed to keep his post. Often he worked until the small hours of the morning on deadlines without showing noticeable ehcects, and the iNews' did come out-come out well. Mark occasionally stuck to the rule about going to Troop 19-a singular dedication in view of his other labors. Nor has his academic work suffered, at the midyears, h he stood comfortably in the top quarter of the class. Markls other main activity is Government Class. As the X Everett Dirksen of the Conservative Party, he is one of the - X three or four most powerful and influential members of the J X Class. The unusually good showing of the Conservatives this . I N V 53' 1' J year can be attributed to his work last year at organizing a machine among the Lower Formers. The most iitting tribute to Mark came at the beginning X Q of the second semester when Canon Martin decided that he -- X A should be installed as a Prefect-a testimony to the confidence X ix that the School as a whole has placed in Mark.

You must be very active in sports. Why, yes suh, Canon Martin, sometimes I play ping-pong. And so, two years ago, St. Albans imported a soft-voiced, tall boy from Kilgore, Texas, perhaps in the hope of establishing a successful ping-pong team. However, whether or not this was the reason for admitting him, Tex has forsaken the ping- .- jj ,f,, N,-. ,X CQ,-- he pong table in favor of other interests. One of the charter 'TU fffksx members of the gymnastics team, he was its virtual captain ' T this year, excelling on the parallel bars and setting a School record in the rope climb. Spring finds him pole vaulting, and he is one of St. Albans' best in this art. A promising football career was cut short last year by a broken ankle. V 'X'Q , Nick's major distinction on the Close, however, has been Pj' I I in the Drama Club. Two years ago, he achieved prominence iv as a belligerent bartender in Abl Wilderness. Last year, he ' '53 f had one of the major roles in Obey's Noab. This year, he had l the lead role in Dinny and tlve Witcbes. As President of the Club, Nick's major achievement has been the new policy of i if joint meetings between the NCS and St. Albans Players' Clubs. His reward for this popular arrangement was the acquisition of a girl who is a prominent member of the NCS Players' Club. We are sure that the Lone Star State will be glad to welcome Ter home. Q.
