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.

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

Don't let anyone ever tell you that Elk City is a culturally deprived hamlet, because this rural metropolis possesses many virtues-Jack told us so. As with all of us, Jack had a particular characteris- tic, that of his walk. Some would label it the Muscle Beach Walk or the Jock Walk : how- ever, only a few privileged people can walk in a constant flex. .Tack was in direct agreement with the saying clothes make the man, for only a man could wear wide ties, cowboy hat and boots, Levis, and a Terry parka. Nevertheless, this was Jack's certain comical identity that added to the novelty of the Class of '6'7. We all hope Jack retains this mode of dress in college so that he might do for them what he did for us. SENIORS Owen Earl Locke Lacrosse 3g Football 3, 45 Photography Club 3, 43 Mustang 45 Vice-President 1, 39 President 2g Academic Honor Roll 3. Owie has undergone a transition in the last two years of his long CA history, from the position of a responsible student to the mania of a madcap photographer. Owie is content snapping the flora and fauna rather than pursuing the goals of a model CA student. In fact, he had the nerve to display his shots corrupting the underclassmen's minds and detracting' from their school work. However, the class has been patient with Owie and that ghastly car of his, and we all send him away to new horizons and new photographic material in college. One re- quest that should be made is that Owie carefully focus his goals. We hope that he continues to develop and always prints his positives 105
