Mr. Chandler's Name Challenge

Since 1931, St. Albans Lower School heads have maintained the tradition of shaking every boy's hand each morning as the arrive to school; committing their names to memory at a blazing pace.  Last week, current Lower School Head Mr. Chandler undertook his annual challenge to remember each boys name flawlessly. This year, the Lower School has 271 students in its classrooms. Mr. Chandler put his knowledge to the test, and a silver dollar on the line for every name he misremembers. Did Mr. Chandler finish a clean sweep? Or is subterfuge afoot?
