If ever we wanted to know Where the action was, we could be sure Campbell was probably in- itiating it. In his four years at CA Campbell perhaps has done more for the school and the class of '67 than any other person. He set certain standards of achievement that instilled a definite desire for self- betterment in all. As class president he exemplified the ideals of honesty and dedication that are essen- tial for success. His vast contributions to the school spirit through drive and perseverance whether on the football field or in the dance band will long be remembered. A definite part of CA is the image of a Dalglish skipping around with hermit attire offering a vast assortment of colors in a Rocky Mountain dress. As Campbell moves on from his Indian Hills habitat to the crowded college life, we trust his industry and initiative will never be lost.

Steve came to CA via the English Speaking Union out of the fog of The Manor House, Thur- loxton, Near Taunton, Somerset, England. Follow- ing his widespread reputation as Captain of the Rugby Team, he arrived at CA a week late for school. After Christmas we all found that this extra week vacation was to become a habit with him. As we watched his adaptation to American life, and his prowress on the athletic field, there were varied comments: Boy! that guy talks funny, and to our dismay, from the girls around Denver. An Englishman ! ? I ? Where? Where '? Steve learned a new meaning for the subject English as he sat at his desk each day, sharing his book with a big white dog. Exhibiting all of his English talent and quickness of mind, he reached the number one scholastic rating in the class and taught us a few basics so that we all now know that the alphabet does not encompass letters A-Zee, but rather letters A-Zed.

Chris came to Denver in 1964 and entered Colo- rado Academy as a day student. Since that day he has been an important part of our student body. A leader in school as well as on the athletic field, we watched as he progressed from Corvair to Corvette to Jeep. We lived with him vicariously through his experiences in the towns of Colorado Springs and Breckenridge, and applauded his antics there. Many school activities would have been impossible without his perseverance and school spirit. In his capacity as prom chairman, technical engineer, brief brainstormer, and many other responsibilities he helped make the backbone of a school. Karl Frederick Crass, lr. Mountain Rescue 3, 45 Chess Club 35 Dining Hall Committee 3, 45 Art 35 Mustang 3, 45 Drama 45 Woodworking 4. Crockett came to Colorado Academy from East High in Denver for his junior and senior years. From the start, he participated in a number of activities. Perhaps his most noteworthy Work at Colorado Academy was his work on the Mountain Rescue Team. Karl was more than just a member, he was a leader. From the Mountain Rescue Team he received his nickname of Crockett. Crockett's quick wit and ready humor kept the dorm alive with laughter. His button antics kept us in laughter, while his letters from space kept us mystified. When the time came to be serious, Karl was a friend that you could count on any time and for anything. For these two virtues, we shall remember Karl as a serious humorist.

Thomas Gordon d'Avila Mountain Rescue Team 4, Photography 45 Creative Writing 4, Academic Honor Roll 4. One thing can be said about Tom d'Avila-he's mysterious. No one ever knew what went on in that clean shaven head, and although Tom could talk a lot if he wanted to, no one ever really found out what he was thinking. We did get clues once in a while, though. When Tom expressed his opinion on something, we would all wait expectantly to hear the usual, Yeah,', or Yeah-well, burst forth with the usual assurance, and although the mystery would remain unsolved, we all knew that everything was functioning normally inside his head. Tom also had a lot of energy. This became apparent at Physi- cal Education Classes in which Tom was an avid participator. When, chasing the ball around the field, Tom would go literally mad and run circles around his opponents in order to score. Without Tom d'Avila, Colorado Academy would indeed have been a dull place, for the challenge of continually trying to guess his next move added just a little extra spice to life. David Lu Earnhardt Baseball 1, Track 3,43 Art 1,23 Band 3,45 Academic Honor Roll 2,3. One can say with all sincerity that Ernie was one of the nicest, most honest, and tolerant persons on the campus. Although quiet and never imposing his will on anyone, Ernie set a few precedents dur- ing his twelve years that won't be forgotten for quite a while. Who can forget Ernie's fourteen-page essays for Mr. Slevin, or the 94 he got on that one book review after he started it in the first period on the day it was due, finishing it in the first three minutes of English. lf that weren't enough, he had only read fifty of the one hundred-fifty pages in the book. Not only did he work hard, but Colorado Acad- emy will probably never have a better piano player. He played in the Preps and in his own group. The Blue Jazzmenf' More than once he was asked to play during class meetings. Although not very athletically inclined, he played on the football team and ran for the track team. He was one of the outstanding distance runners. Colorado Academy will see few people as humble and hard working as Ernie.
