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.

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

jeffrey joe Reynolds Mountain Rescue 2, 3, 43 Lacrosse 3, 4g Fire Crew 1, 2, Art 1, 23 Falcon Club 1, Drama Technician 1, 2, 3, 45 Gun Club 1, 2, Vice-President 3, 4, Mustang 3, 4. Famous for his turkey call, Wah-Wah added a large portion of Western, or cowboy, flair that is a must to a senior class. Who could forget his Home on the Range in Douglas, Wyo., where a man could live in peace in Marlboro Country? Jeff was a valuable asset to the drama crew, Working diligently in the light booth, temptations aside. His overpowering humor became trying sometimes, however, one could never be in direct opposition to him. All kidding aside, Jeff was a four-year man whose interest in and contribution to the school was profound. SENIORS Edwin Sublett Richards Football 3, 45 Skiing 1, 2, 3, 4, Tennis 23 Kayaking 3, 43 Gun Club 1, 2, 35 Glee Club 1, 2, 3, Mustang 3, 4, Telesis 4. How will the seniors ever forget Ted's four o'clock shadow, in the ninth grade yet? In his four years at CA, he was quite a playboy, with numerous hot sports cars that ended up in the Platte River or for sale, when he finally lost his license in his senior year. It wasn't until this last year, when Ted be- came a boarder, that we came to understand him for what he was: a taciturn Don Juan who was always plotting a scheme for a quiet evening with one of the Denver delights the following weekend. From his Jean-Claude Killy appearance on the ski slopes to his nonchalance around the campus, Ted made a definite place for himself here at CA. 109
