Peter Trace Uihlein Soccer 19 Gun Club 1, 2, 3, 43 Fire Crew 1, 2g Mustang 1, 2, 3, 43 Hafrvest 4g Telesis 43 Art 13 Drama Technician 1, 2, 3, 4, Dorm Proctor 33 Dining Hall Committee 35 Pipe Club 33 Student Council Treasurer 4g Order of the Silver Screw 10th Grade for Dramag Effort Honor Roll 2. Pete has this year, as in his past years at CA, been a unique person. Although called Buck- wheat and Kinky, Pete was both dignified and respected. His sympathetic attitude and trust- worthiness made him a popular person. Pete's unfailing devotion to the school's plays as light technician for five years and his faithful coffee making each evening, embodied the loyalty that we all recognized in him. In fact, Pete's own development paralleled his contributions to the Class of '67. His rare individuality provided a tone which insures his continued remembrance by us. Steven Kimball Underwood Baseball 45 Art 1,2,3g Chess 3,45 Academic Honor Roll 4. Colorado Academy was lucky to have Steve Underwood in its student ranks, for among his many achievements this year was the bringing of a little sunshine into the hearts of everyone he met. Al- though he labored under the nickname The Crusher for a long time in his samaritan duties, he still managed to keep smiling, and in fact, another nickname for him might be, The Twenty Four Hour Smile. Whatever his nickname, Steve man- aged to be a hard worker all around. He worked all year on perfecting the card game, Hearts, and there was hardly a free period when he wasn't in the senior lounge immersed in its complexities. With all kidding aside, though, it can be thankfully said of Steve Underwood, that CA would really have been pretty dull without him, and that the sunshine he brought was of the right kind.

George Brownell Shepard, lr. Soccer 49 Basketball 45 Baseball 45 Photography 4. The oldest boy in the class will be twenty in September, and we all have much confidence in him to use his vote wisely. George had a little scare earlier this year when he was ranked 1A, and had to go for his physical. George was a very deter- mined athlete, having played Varsity Soccer, Bas- ketball, and Baseball. As a result, he insisted on having ten hours of sleep a day. Above all, George is a golferg in this sport, he excels so much that sometimes he forgets everything else. We will all miss George very much, and we wish him good fortune in future life. It will be difficult to find such a cheerful, happy-go-lucky, yet hard working student at CA for years to come. SENIORS Michael Britton Smith Football 19 Wrestling 45 Lacrosse 45 Art 1, 2g Gun Club 2, 3, 4g Electronics 4. Mike Smith has a philosophy of life that maybe we all should follow. He himself sums it up in one phrase, 1 don't sweat the small stuff. He con- tinued to follow this philosophy all year long, and proved its effectiveness again and again. The fact that he lost all the time at cards never bothered him at all, and not having a dime for the Coke machine were mere trivialities to be ignored. His happiest moments were expressed by, Oh, boy, I got the Mustang tonight! and he never missed a chance to ask someone if he could borrow his car. A big achievement for Mike this year was earning the title, The Killer, in wrestling circles, and after a victory he'd always let the whole school know how he Killed that guy. CA will miss Mike, especially his presence in the senior lounge. 111

Burton Kendall Wheeler greative Writing 43 International Relations Club 4, Telests Arriving from the seat of the USA, Washing- ton, D.C., Burt fKTLNJ Wheeler plunged into an academic reform that amazed himself. From his first illegal butt during the day to his first Slevin review, Burt rapidly adapted to his first year at a boarding school. Soon known well for his talent with an electric guitar, he captained The Bags, a school rock band. Though he studied occasion- ally, he helped command intricate plots designed to frustrate his friend Karl Crass, LC., forcing the poor devil to climb out his window for lunch. Mr. Cott0n's stock in the Schick Razor Blade division suffered tremendous blows when bearded Burt went on his non-shaving binges. As we re- call, Burt rarely went in for the prep look. Burt cherished noise and confusion, but only during the few minutes he was lost in a textbook or with Gordon McGill's bongos, did he promote a more mature knowledge-seeking atmosphere. Burt did offer his time for the better activities like the Telesis and . . . and . . .CCreative Writing?J. We all Wish our CA Phineas a good year at college, assured that the culture of the East will call upon his finer instincts and intellect. Glee Club 2, 3, 43 Drama Club 2, 3, 4, Folk Club 2, 35 Harvest 4. SENIORS Jim was probably the most eminent contributor to the school and perhaps its most capable. For three consecutive years, Jim gave up a sizeable part of his winter trimester to the Upper School play, acting in major roles in Mister Roberts in 1965, My Three Angels in 1966, and in Harvey in 1967. During the summer of his junior year, Jim won a month in Europe for his proficiency with the folk guitar and the folk style of singing, in a nation- wide talent search. On occasion, Jim instructed the Junior English classes in the history and types of music necessary for the study of literature. From time to time, Jim was able to find enough leisure to help with the task of publishing the Mustang regularly. It is obvious that CA would never have been the place it was without Jim, and it is a safe bet that his friends will remember him for his work. 113
