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 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

His general affability and good nature have always been admired by those around him. Beyond this initial, visual impression, Tom exhibits a readily usable mind which has enabled him not only to have completed already four years of Latin and four of French, but also to be in the advanced mathematics program. His career at school, though essentially a solid one, has had its share of scrapes and also its share of rewards for achieve- 1- ment. When in a bit of difficulty, Tom has shown his ability to work hard to correct it. In all subjects he carefully plans il ffl' Lzsfffgff his time and is able to provide for himself a sound equilibrium between hard work and pleasure. Jj Cn the athletic field, Segator', works hard-not neces- 'vglefgig' sarily as an athlete, but rather as one out for an afternoon of enjoyment and exercise. He is known to have developed some pretty rare techniques of trapping and ball-handling in soccer. , - A '24 When off campus, or rather in Campo, Tommy is always -,L V ,,' M ready to add his own vitality to a party or a pleasant evening. fx Qn weekends after enjoying himself to the fullest, he resigns himself to the tasks of the week ahead. i R With a good, solid record and with many enjoyable memo- ries from his school career, Tommy strolls off to college, where s' his charm will get him many friends. But, more important, ...,. his developing mind, under the discipline of a demanding cur- mI5U11Iy-ra, riculum, will obtain for him a more fruitful and rewarding life. TI-IE ALBANIAN 45
