THE CLASS OF 1963 CLASSES, as persons, differ. Each class has a per- sonality distinct and all its own. The Class of '63 this year has been substantial, quiet and very strong in leadership. It has able boys and a number With varied talents but on the Whole, it has not been a brilliant or spectacular class. Its strength has been its forthright honesty, its good sense of values, its character. The Sixth Form has not been just a collection of individuals in one grade at one time. It has been a body moved by common spirit, marked by respon- sible action. It has given leaders remarkable for their strength-and I can think of no better term- character. St. Albans is a school largely dependent upon its Sixth Form for its leadership. A strong Sixth Form means a good school year-a weak one, a poor school year. This has been a very good school year. In stat- ing that fact, I pay the Class of '63 a high compliment. It has done a good job not only for itself but for us all. Z 2 QKM1-:W Headmaster

Dedication ISTORY is a difficult subject to teach: it is essential for the teacher to reach not only the mind of the outstanding student, but also the mind of the average one. Through his efforts in this demanding area of teaching, Mr. McGrath has earned the sincere respect of this yearis graduating class. His precise and provocative methods have impressed students. More important, though, he has the unique ability to create the mood of an historical situation and ultimately to increase the student's desire for the scholarly study of history. It is the distinct honor for the Class of 1963 to dedicate this year's ALBANIAN to Francis E. McGrath.
