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.

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.

Campbell Carven Dalglish Band 1, 2, 3, 45 Baseball 2. 3, 45 Football 3, 45 Academic Honor Roll 1, 2, 3, 45 Effort Honor Roll 1, 25 Vice-President 25 Secretary-Treasurer 35 President 45 Barbershop Quartet 4. 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. SENIORS Steven Timothy Darch Track 45 Football 45 Mustang 45 Woodwording 45 Art 43 International Relations Club 45 Effort Honor Roll 45 Aca- demic Honor Roll 4. 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.

Home is where the heart is except in Chico's case, for Greenwich, Connecticut, and U54 Harley Hogs do not mix. Aside from his sideburns and greasy hair, his all too angelic expression will be remembered for some time by students and faculty alike. Although Chico tended to be rather crude sometimes and his wit underestimated, who else could operate a used car parts shop in Howard House? Chico disliked the herd instinct in many aspects. His impeccable dress sometimes raised many an eyebrow, howeve1', only Chico could wear clothes to match cycle boots. Many could expect to see Chico at his best at breakfast, smiling upon the cuisine with bright, well-rested eyes, awaiting a cheerful day of classes. Chico is largely responsible for injecting various expressions into our always expanding vocabulary, such as: fitty fo choppa and that always popular expression, Win in Viet Nam. Many in the class of '67 will never see Chico again, yet some of us are positive his exit on gradua- tion day will remain stamped on our memories.

Friar loved his bouncy-ball, his Hearts and pitchers' mound. Throughout his senior career at CA, he dabbled in all of the evils of the lounge- starting with penny-tossing, finally taking to the clouds with a parachute. One year of boarding was enough for the GTO champ, though he managed to survive the den of iniquity that was the source of Mr. Esbenshade's frustration-the junior floor of Stevens in 1965- by joining the seniors upstairs. Friar distinguished himself on the Varsity A squad in basketball with fantastic jumps and fre- quent scoring, and helped salvage CA's Varsity Base- ball team with fine relief pitching for Jim Hopkins. As the close of two years at CA, John's dry wit still prevails and we will expect a three thousand foot dive onto Wr'ight Field heralding John's arrival for our first reunion. 99
