GEORGE ROGERS HOWARD, JR. Born: November 28, 1945, Syracuse, New York Entered St. Albans: Form C Activities: 'NeWs', V, VI, Religious Club, V, Drama Club, IV, VIZ: Wrestling, V, VI Awards: National Merit Sclvolarsbip Contest Letter of Commendation, VI, StA-3 Wrestling, V, VI Special Interests: Medicine, bistory College: Duke Rog, Radu Gosb-a-mickel, pickle-diclele, cats and dogs, and rowzabazzle, old goats anybowf, -P CC ago UCK HAS absolutely nothing at all to do with it, says Rogers as he casually slams the cue ball with the butt end of his cue stick and knocks two balls into pockets at opposite ends of the pool table. The fact that these are the only two he gets during the course of the game does not faze him. With a smile and a shrug of his shoulders he walks out of the Room wailing, ':Well you know how it is. However, an early acceptance to Duke does not come easily. Rog, who has taken Advanced Math, is a good student and works at his studies diligently. He also is a devoted wrestler. Although he did not join the Xl X team until his Junior year, he quickly entered into the team's l SX spirit. The team felt a great loss when Rog, because of an P' - - --6 untimely broken leg, was benched for half of the season. After the accident, he still managed to hobble in every afternoon to watch practice. As a Senior, Roger once again devoted him- self to wrestling and after only two years, was a respected member of the team. Roger has many interesting ideas about government. His 3 f gi tendency is towards conservatism, but even liberals respect his i .- I 4 s l suggestions because of the deep feeling which is behind them. it Rog is also interested in medicine, and last summer he worked in a hospital. Roger is a sensitive fellow with a ready smile '-'-. --7-'-4--f and a good sense of humor. When he has problems in his C'noN,You GoYs,Sw uucuss' studies, he exhibits a firm determination which eliminates the -mNW.C'n0N,uowHRb difficulty. It is this combination of humor and determination which should enable Rog to enjoy the curriculum at Duke. THE ALBANIAN 33

He cocks his arm and fires. Suddenly, from nowhere, a 185-lb. giraffe gallops in, intercepts, and heads for the end zone. As he nears the ten-yard line, he delicately places his hand in the face of a would-be tackler, tramples him into the dirt, and without breaking stride, crosses the goal line. Harry Hobart has just accomplished his dream. A Harry not only scored his touchdown this year, but fulfilled many of the other dreams he must have had when he started his nine-year career at St. Albans. His quiet, unassuming, yet forceful manner won the respect of his schoolmates, and they showed it by electing him Co-captain of the Varsity football team and Prefect of the School fone of the few present Prefects to have been a Lower School Prefectl . Harry's contribution to the football team this year as the agile, mobile, and hostile monster mann was great, however, it could not match that of his Junior year, when he gave his two front teeth to the end that the football team should not perish. His giving of himself manifests itself in many ways. Sixth Formers were surprised this year to find a radio in The Room. Who could have put it there? Harry Hobart, of course. It is not surprising at all that he is one of the seven boys of the School to struggle out of bed an hour early once a week to serve at: the early service at the Cathedral. Harry's popularity and unselfishness will benefit both him and Washington and Lee greatly next year. 32 SENIORS1963

Sam winces visibly, appears to stagger backward, and is saved from the twenty-third Kittler question of the period only by the ring of the bell. Bur no one should allow himself ro be deceived by such occurrences, for Andy is one of those rare boys who is never satisfied until he completely grasps a given idea. He often impresses people as 'Qdumbn merely because he keeps trying to understand an idea after everybody else has given up. And no matter how exasperating this perseverance may be to teachers and classmates, it has enabled Andy to do exceedingly well academically, as is shown by his high class rank in both his Junior and Senior years and by his excellent record in such difiicult courses as Advanced ff-F 'TS- T Science and Accelerated Math. Andyls ability has earned an Ffa.. . A -.eff NAI' rating from Harvard. fl -2 Nor are Andy's achievements strictly academic. He has - --f N- been a member of the Varsity cross-country team for four years and has earned his letter in the last two.
