john Gordon McGill Soccer 49 Telesis 45 Gun Club 4g Bridge Club 43 Preps 45 Academic Honor Roll 4. To all appearances Gordon's greatest accom- plishment of the year was the construction of a massive pyramid of Marlboro boxes, the result of his own energy and fantastic donations from SAT- haggard dorm-dwellers. Rhythm-boy's hidden talent was snatched from The Bags by the Preps, and he was brought into the limelight as a drummer during Harvey, provid- ing the background for The Pink Panther and Baby Elephant Walk. When he couldn't find the time for skiing be- cause of Telesis work or a long-procrastinated 'Zini American Lit. paper, he caught his rays from a sun lamp. Manifestly, Gordon couldn't live without the Temptations, the Righteous Brothers, Wilson Pick- ett, his Head skis, the anti-Carlorado Club and green burlap walls. No doubt his room in Upper Howard boasted the greenest Grass for inspection. SENIORS Reginald Sinclaire Paulk Football lg Track lg Wrestling 45 Art 1, 2, 35 Woodworking 45 Honor Roll 2, 3. Reggie, it can be said, was one of the senior class's hardest workers. This was fine, except the hard work was never done at school. Rather, it was done back at the ranch where, after driving forty miles from school, Reggie would dutifully sit down and do school work. He even managed to get some ranch work done, for the daily chore of choosing which of his five or six horses to ride Qno one ever knew how many he really hadl, must have been exhausting. We all enjoyed Reggie's presence at school, although sometimes you weren't quite sure he was really there. This was because Reggie was one of the most silent and peaceful boys in the class. In fact, the only place where Reggie wasn't peaceful was on the wrestling mat fstill silentj, where he made the reason for his nickname, Haystack, apparent by vanquishing one opponent after an- other. Whatever his reputation among opposing wrestling teams, Reggie's quiet strength was always a refreshing influence in our hectic, little world. 107

Robert Benjamin Marcus Art 25 Glee Club 1, 25 Folk Club 2, 35 Student Council 1, 2, 3, 45 Mustang 2, 45 Honor Roll 1, 35 Harvard Book Award 3. Bob had one of the most distinctive appearances in the school. When he walked down the hall in his boots and long hair, people got a feeling that the one and only Super-Mod had finally come into being. On top of that, he has a motorcycle foutweighs him by 500 poundsl that gives him the dubious honor of being CA's one and only Hell's Angel. However, it is doubtful if the fierce grimace he wore while rid- ing was ever recognized to be only an effort to keep the hair out of his eyes. Bob managed to keep us happy by the use of a very effective noisemaker -the guitar. His band, The Crosstown Bus, has yet to make Carnegie, but Bob would be satisfied if only all the members could get together at the same time for rehearsal. Whatever his extracurricular activities, Bob was also a success in intellectual circles. His knowing criticism was envied by all, and his opinion was always sought after. The never failing, Yeah, right! answer to any question always seemed to satisfy everyone completely. Without Bob, CA would have been rather drab, for that splash of color thumping down the halls always managed to knock the sleep out of your eyes and make the day a little more interesting. 106 Thomas Martin Matthews Mountain Rescue 2, 35 Lacrosse 3, 45 Football 45 Slide Rule 25 Art 2, 35 Gun Club 2, 35 Photography Club 2, 35 Wood- working 45 Mustang 35 Telesis 3, Editor 45 Academic Honor Roll 2,35 Effort Honor Roll 2. Some of us possess the virtue of gritting our teeth at teachers and their assignments. But Tom has that outlook of dissent, accomplished by inform- ing everyone within hearing distance of the injus- tices he has suffered. However, if Tom were ever quiet and content just chewing his tongue, we would believe him to be ill. Of course, our comments are in fun since they are printed in the very publication Tom is editor of. In fact, Tom deserves a great amount of credit for the work he put into the year- book. As we all know, the learning process can not be measured in grades, but rather in experience. We feel confident that Tom gained much in learning this year and hope he puts it to good use in the future.

Walter Bruce Prockter Soccer 1, 2, 33 Kayaking 2, 35 Mountain Rescue 4. Bruce has added many talents to the Senior Class through the years he has been at CA. We don't know where we would have been without his much-needed services in making posters for most of CA's functions. Just leave it up to Bruce to devise some clever way of attracting attention to his posters. When Bruce wasn't in the art room he was either playing soccer or climbing up and kayak- ing down the glorious Colorado Rockies. Being very avid in kayaking, Bruce has been one of the king- pins on the team, and has held it together through many attempts to disband it. Whether on the play- ing field, in the classroom, or who knows where in the Colorado wilderness, Bruce strove to do his best and make things easier for others. It will be hard to forget the courteous, helping hand put forward by Bruce in the past years at CA. Dwight Douglas Reid Football 4, Art 3, 43 Photography 3. In the two years Doug has been at CA, he has contributed much to the social life on campus through his personal character. From his avid card playing to his subtle wit, he has established a certain atmosphere of comedy in the lives of all that knew him. Who will forget his eager willingness and en- thusiasm around campus as exemplified by his Big Red and dilapidated Jeep? Doug achieved certain goals this year in mastering both the Coke and candy machines, as well as mastering the art of appearance and grace. This all constitutes the carefree attitude of Doug, who, through his humor, managed to bal- ance any disappointments of the Class of '67.
