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

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 .

Tubby is the Form's most distinguished, full-fledged pizza pounder. When not in the pool hall hustling his friends, Pete earns his spare cash at a Kensington carry-out. A promising center, Kotch's talents were lost to the football squad because of a knee injury during early practice. Kotch did not quit the team, however, W but served as a friendly, helpful manager for the rest of the season. Pete is an enthusiastic athlete and has put his friendly , wx enthusiasm to work on the School's basketball and baseball .F i s, teams as well. ' With persistent application, Pete has done well academ- ically, especially in his favorite subject, mathematics. He was 'KN-qgsx I , a tremendous help to his less enlightened fellow-sufferers in X- Math VI. All the members of the Pre-Chapel Math Class have gotten much needed help from Tubby', at some time during f fy ll the year. When Kotch arrived at St. Albans, he was quickly recog- nized as the cheerful, amiable person that he is and accepted as one of the fellas These characteristics have become more pronounced since Pete arrived, they will have a similar effect upon his new college friends with whom he will undoubtedly spend an enjoyable and rewarding four years. ,t fl!! , it l I 46 SENIORS 1963
