A quiet, serious boy, he does not stand out in a group. However, anyone who knows him recognizes those many skills in diverse fields which make him an unusual person. Academically, John has maintained a steady, high average and was given an Av rating by Yale, which he will attend next year. Legs Paulson is known to many lower formers as the star fullback on the football team. Somehow John always managed to get a few yards whenever he was given the ball, blocking or no. - John,s spare time is filled with everything from water in R 2 skiing to ice hockey to making salads at a summer resort res- eff- ' . mf 2 taurant. In each of these hobbies he not only enjoys himself, yi' - 053' . , S but he also works very hard. 152' 'I , Elected President of the Senior Class, John took the position modestly and has done a first-rate job. Although he tax is not heard from every day in his capacity, the Senior Class ,I iv ,.. , as a whole knows that he is constantly helping to keep the class organized and unified. Johnny is one of Mr. Stambaugh's prize art students and has shown talents in this field to equal his agility on the football field. If he can obtain a place to work and paint at Yale, his painting will, if noticed, certainly bring him a great deal of recognition. THE ALBANIAN 43

Oulie is the only boy in St. Albans who prides himself on his ability to travel anywhere free. Over the years he has developed a sure-fire method of hitching, and his long record of travels attests to its success. Last summer, Q'Oulie hitched and walked all through the green country- side of his native Ireland, and he went for nearly nothing. The same attitude which is apparent during his travels is displayed in his school work. Everything that 'iOulie,' does is Wt, done with eagerness and determination. On the athletic field U he is always looking for that extra tackle during football prac- 'WW' Q tice or the loose ball during a soccer game. He is always the i ti , most aggressive and persistent player during a game. 7 , v X 5.1. I N Scholastically, Richard works just as hard as he does on .A P ' i ,Q - .1 the athletic field. He has always carried a very heavy work- - V Z load at the School, and he is a participant in both the Glee l gf A ll Club and the Government Class. Oulie's sharp and accu- 7 ,,,,. ' rate memory is well stocked with the essentials of history, and I ,F E f Zi M his quick recall of these facts, coupled with his keen pronunci- ' ff 5' ' ation of foreign names, continually bewilders his classmates. 1 ff , f, r A Oulie has high ambitions, but he would be perfectly 4, A, satisfied eating boiled potatoes and side meat. We know that ,- Q'Oulie', will provide the gravy for the cold potatoes. 59 Ulae L shillelagh M, 42 SENIORS 1963

Like, ub, somebody made a U-turn in tbe tunnel. -finks tbe Cat ROM THE HALLS OF MONTEZUMA to the slums of Chevy Chase, the Nose goes. Ever since he entered St. Albans in the C Form, Willem has taken it upon himself to humor his classmates. Whether on the field, in the classroom, or at a party, Will can always rise to the occasion. On the athletic field his presence is always known, if not felt. His bone rcushing tackles in football and bruising body checks in soccer are often the highlight of many dull games. Willem's real natural athletic ability is in soccer. His teammates have recognized this ability and have elected him Captain of the Varsity soccer team for the past two years. During the spring, he can be found running around the track and making the girls feel at home during the baseball games. There is a serious side to Willem that is shown through his fine leadership as a Prefect of the School. He also did a fine job at the almost impossible task as Chairman of the Formal Dance Committee last year. As one of Mr. Stam- baughis able art students, Willem expresses a deep under- standing, sensitivity, and awareness of life around him through his painting. Mr. Stambaugh says, When one sees Willem in action and then sees his painting, there is no visible connec- tion. The painting is subtle, done in a muted color range, and is always a translation of reality. He proves conclusively that the artist does see diiferentlyf' ff f f if ,gr lr 0 .U . A V x 44 SENIORS1963
