Aft- er all, how can a man think at retirement when he has just bee gun a brand new way oi lite? In 1954, alter 52 years oi~liiu ing, working on. and owning‘ farms in Chester township, Grah‘ and his wiie decided to move in- to Grinnell and leave their son, Albert. Jr, to run the farm. in order to l-zeep himseli busy and provide a small supplemental me come. heaccepted a light main- tenance job at Grinnoll College. Took Job In 1958 In the case oi multitudes oi younger men, the call of tumors tunity is met with a deaf ear. When Al Graii, then as, was of- iered an opportunity to work long hours at a strenuous lob, he jumped at it, In 1953 he as- sumed his new position of col- lege athletic equipment manag- e . "When I first started at the college I had only planned to do a little light carpenter work,” he said, “I never dreamed that I would end up in charge of the athletic equipment. Now that i have the job though, I wouldn‘t trade with anyone." Grafl‘s office is a 10 by 10 ft. cubicle at one end of the men’s, locker room in Darby gym. Dur~ ing the school year it resembles a cluttered antique shop. ‘ Uniforms of all descl‘ (ions and sizes hang Irom the Ceiling. A huge table, which takes up tho-thirds of the floor space in the odice, is heaped high with equipment ranging from broken football helmets to unstrung ten» nis racquets. Under (his tsble and overflowing into the illrdee fined aisles around it is an in- describable pile of various ath- letic sundries which have been‘ collected and dumped there over the years. The walls of the “Cage," as it' is reier d to, are ringed wlIh ceiling high cabinets ehocked full of everything from seeks to shotguns. Buried in one corner- of this crowded cage is a heat up old desk barely discernablc under a variegated heap of materials, “THE NEW YORK 17IUS1LIIIEA' mite zoo/inner, Clerc/.mtl ii iii/toot a Ilrur, I/u: (lulled we no: 11» along [to route AlIiI/III'L‘ Jubatnl, poi-iii.

To the uninilialcd outsider the Cage would seem as disorganized as a church rummage sale.

His average work day during the school year is from 7 am. to 7 pin, His longest days conic during the basketball season when he will oittinies be at Darby gym irom 8 am. to 11 p.m, Rather than slowing him down, this exhausmg schedule seems to stimulate him. “Working here at the gym and being around the boys is what keeps me young," he notes. “This job is the kind that one can never tire of because some. thing new and unexpected hap» pens every day.” When asked about retirement a look of amazement crosses his face, almost as it he had never even considered it as a possi— bility. “I’ll stay here as long as 1 "They may never be able to get me to leave."
