The Saint Albans News, the official student publication of St. Albans School, was founded in 1930 making it one of the oldest student newspapers in the country. Among the notable students of St. Albans are Al Gore, John Kerry, Neil Bush, Harold Ford, Jr., Gore Vidal and many Roosevelts. In addition to the usual coverage of athletics and school government and administration, the paper presents news and commentary on national politics, foreign affairs, book reviews, editorials, profiles of various students, etc. David L. Scull served as editor-in-chief during the 1960-61 season. As incoming editor-in-chief for the next academic year, Donald E. Graham edited the last issue of this volume (May 26, 1961) -- an editorial debut for this noted journalist and publisher. At the time of Graham's selection as editor-in-chief, his father Philip Graham was publisher and president of The Washington Post Company. Donald Graham later joined The Washington Post as a reporter, and went on to hold various news and business positions at the Post and Newsweek. He was made executive vice president and general manager of the Post in 1976. Donald Graham became publisher of The Washington Post in 1979, succeeding his mother Katharine Graham.
