In his years at St. Albans, Q'Pacey', has distinguished himself in many expected and unexpected ways. This year, as leader of the Senior contingent of the J.V. football squad, John gained the outstanding honor of being named Most Valuable Player of the year. He also threatened to set a new record by becoming the first four-year man on the -I.V. soccer team, until at the last moment he switched to the Varsity and subsequently earned a first- string position. And he is also remembered as the bare-footecl WORTH WEE UNM BANM-Huy superman who won a spectacular victory in this year's novice ' ' wrestling tournament. John has also shone as workhorse on the 'News', and Q as Copy Editor this year has often been seen in a characteristic Q i pose docking 50 or more points from some cringing heeler. C i But these achievements are only secondary to John's big- i , best success-that of being one of the first Chairmen of the X ! r lp Formal Dance Committee in the history of St. Albans to xz- L., earn a profit for the year. In addition, John's dedication to his l Q chosen interests has been shown by his outstanding grades in I U. S. history and by the fact that in past years he has been I I known to skip sports in order to have more time to donate to iv. his career as Verger in the Cathedral. THE ALBANIAN 37

In a single day he is capable of appearing as an athlete, an intellectual, a Skid Row bum, the All-American kid, and a host of others. It is this almost schizophrenic tendency that makes him the outstanding, forceful person that he is. No one will deny that Jim is a good athlete. His two long passes in the 1961 Landon game provided St. Albans spectators with their only thrill of the game. He has been on the baseball team's first string for three years and can play four different positions. Had his knee not been injured, he probably would have been a star in that sport too. Since this unfortunate ex- - . . . RT E . B b perience Jim has retired to the basketball court, where he has H M igyuiig 0 distinguished himself on the Junior Varsity and as Varsity manager. Taking no second to his athletic talent is his gift for painting. Last year he won first prize for oils in the Art Show, and he is perhaps the best painter in the School. Jim is a good student, as well. Carrying the toughest sched- ule in the Upper School last year, he still managed to rank in the top fifth of the class and subsequently was inducted into the Cum Laude Society this year. , As he is quick to remind everyone, Jim is a deep-dyed WZ New Yorker. If anyone wishes to know about the greatness of l f ,- the Yankees and the Giants, the hustle of the Knicks, the .ii 4' virtues of Nelson Rockefeller, or the wonders of New York City and North Tarrytown, jim is the person to consult. af ' admuuion 55 Y'x ..

T. If you wisb to please people, you must begin to understand tbernf' -Cbarles Reade YOUNG MAN of diverse talents, R. T. is often misunderstood by his casual acquaintances. His wit and originality give him the appearance of a light-hearted, carefree individual-as he cer- tainly is not. I-Iis close friends see him as an intelligent, sensitive boy with a talent for provoking laughter. This ready sense of humor has gained him the admiration and the respect of all his class- mates and of many lower formers. In the daily strains of school life, a kind and continual sense of humor is scarce. R. T. is one of the few to have this valuable gift. R. Tfs most outstanding quality is his versatility. An expert in most fields of athletics, he is what might be classified as an All-American athlete. A member of the Altis society, R. T. has been recognized not only for his skills but also for his sportsmanship. During fourth periods in the Common Room, R .T. can be heard conversing in some strange tongue known only to members of the Senior class. Masters as well as students are catching on to this modern language, at first baffling to many. It is likely that UR. T. talk will be carried on next year even without it.s three originators-a memorial to the originality and gifts of one of this yearis major wits. - Whatever he should choose as a career, whether it be law 2' or psychology, R. T. is a guaranteed success. His ability to adapt to the situation and get along with his co-workers gives him a head start in any field. 38 SENIORS1963
