lohn Hamill-on Inglis Soccer 3, 4g Wrestling, Captain 4, Electronics 33 Gun Club 3, 43 Class Secretary-Treasurer 4, Dorm Proctor 4. John turned out to be a valuable asset to the senior class, for his devotion to duty as class secre- tary-treasurer was quite commendable. There were very few days when he didn't manage to keep the Coke machine filled, and he was always ready to give change to anyone who was thirsty. He even managed to have the majority of the empty bottles for refunds, a feat which was somewhat awesome considering that most Cokes were drunk outside of the lounge. John was always cheerful in his own quiet way, except in the dorm, when at quiet-hour, the forceful Okay, you guys would ring out, and everyone would run for his books. They had to. It was simply a matter of self-preservation, for if someone was caught goofing off, then Rocky John Inglis would swing into action, and that person would have his introduction to the ins and outs of wrestling. We are all grateful to John for his contributions to the senior class.

If you see a madras jacket, a blue-striped tie, and a green-yellow-plaid shirt all on one person, you've seen Fred Johnson. Fred was always recep- tive to odd jobs whenever they needed to be done, especially for student publications. One of his traits was a sharp wit, and though not terribly sophisti- cated, it would liven anyonc's day. Always in the top ten in academic standing fthough you'd never learn it from himl, Fred hardly ever missed a class land it's relatively easy for a day student to miss anything that really is bothersomeh. What more is there to say? He was quiet, consistent, amiable, individualistic and even human! It's been great fun for us-those of us who've taken a serious look around-to just know Fred. 103

Googie, who also might be known as Candy Man, undoubtedly kept the Senior candy and Coke machines out of hock. It was often brought to our attention at CA that the repossessed fish in the parking lot was, in truth, a camouflaged rally racer, but in reality, of course, we all know that Plymouth shocks will neither hold two tons of fun nor will they outlast those of Chevy. Aside from this one obsession which constantly occupied J im's speech, we were always glad to hear the Georgia Boy everyday with his Mornin' and Wanna play cards ? even though the train of thought generally goes back to the fact that Isky was putting out a new C3601 camshaft in the new Plymouths, or Dodge now puts Traction Masters and Airlifts in its newest street machines. Best of luck, Googieg we all know that .you'll be making eleven seconds in the quarter mile all your life. james Arthur Hopkins Soccer 2, 3, 43 Baseball 2, 3, 43 Chess 43 Bridge Club 43 Class Treasurer lg Academic Honor Roll 1,4. Excelling in a variety of academic and athletic activities, Jim managed to cope with practically all the temptations of school life after-hours simply by working hard. He persevered throughout his twelve gears at CA and invariably appeared on the Honor o . Captain of both the Middle and the Upper School A soccer teams, Jim compiled an athletic record of achievement and effort that rivals any. If CA had a Hall of Fame, Jim would be a key member of it. Each year Jim joined the ranks of the in- dividualists, refusing to allow the lethargy of others to trap his versatile mindg all the while he re- strained himself from becoming snobbish and pseudo. Jim gained repute as an exemplary student in high school. We all recognized his gifts of self- discipline and willingness to accept responsibility. Certainly, he was one of the few who consistently met the challenging demands that a liberal school can place upon the individual. 102 1

Since lover-boy's arival here at CA in the mid- dle of his seventh grade year, he has moved up from the naive and taciturn young middle schooler to a leader not only of the class but the school as well. The Kid was endowed with academic and athletic ability to be praised by all, but the latter was greatly hindered in his last years at CA because of a heart murmur. Joel, as one of the younger CA seniors, spent his time practicing to take his Louisiana water vehicle license test. Whenever there was something happening, The Kid was always there. Joel was quite the leader at the dorm, and he could often be found in the wee, wee hours of the morning leading several of his class mates on a midnight excursion for a snack at Harry's Palace. Joel was a great businessman, or, should we say con-artist, and how will we ever forget how he managed to get hold of those brand new baby blue Solars and for half price yet. What a deall? 104 Russell S. LaRock Glee Club 4, Art 4, Telesis 4. Russ LaRock, Hearts enthusiast and building architect, in his first and final year at CA estab- lished himself as a quiet, confident guy. We par- ticularly admired his stamina in I Math. Russ' contribution to the Howvesfs Winter Issue, pretty well characterizes him-tall, solid, and just enough out of perspective to prove he's human. Russ' quietness was often broken by his singing stints in Glee Club. When he wasn't singing, Russ was usually puzzling over some architectural prob- lem. Unfortunately, one he never did solve was his design for constructing an airfield at CA.
