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

JOHN HENDERSON LACEY Born: Marcb 3, 1946, Wasbington, D. C.

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

WILLIAM NEIDLINGER MCGEI-IEE, III Born: August 3, 1945, Paget, Bermuda Entered St. Albans: Form C Activities: 'NeWs', III, IV, V, VI fSports Editorj, Football, III, Cross Country, V, VI, Baseball, III, IV, Flag Raiser, VI, Soccer, III, IV, V, VI Awards: StA-3 Soccer, III, StA Soccer, V, VI, StA-3 Baseball, IV Special Interests: Bermuda, Walt Wbitman, submarine 1'dCe5 College: Washington and Lee Petey, N eid A Woman sbould be seen, not beard? -Soplrocles LITTLE BLACK RENAULT comes to a screeching stop on the circle. An ambling figure jumps out with shouts of Come on toonoo, let's go to shoppiesf' This figure, using dialect which is known to everyone, is Neid McGehee. Born in Bermuda, Neid is the only British ambassador to St. Albans. He began his life on the Close in nursery school at Beauvoir. He has progressed, year by year, to Form VI. And in that progression, he has contributed to every phase of school life. 7 Rl 1 WW , ,c f XX 0 L 'wig l -A-41' .. '.,,f 1 I l .,-' 'Zeal .f I if Neid is very conscientious. He was elected to the position of Sports Editor of the 'News' where he has worked steadily and consistently. Not only has Neid worked with sports on the 'News', but he has played on the Varsity soccer squad for the past three years, he became first string in his junior year. In Form IV, Neicl was the novice wrestling champ of the 120 lb. class. Neid is one of those rare characters who needs only six to seven hours of sleep per night. He takes advantage of this strong ability in several ways, for when Neid is not working diligently on his homework or demonstrating his athletic abil- ity, he can be seen in all phases of the social world-at all hours-usually with a cute young lady on his arm. Next year, Neid will go to Washington and Lee. If he continues his activities started at St. Albans, and blends them with his outgoing, friendly personality, then everyone knows he will be as popular there as at St. Albans. THE ALBANIAN 39
