Since that time, Fulf has proved to us that he is indeed head and shoulders above the rest of us in more areas than just height. On one day john can do more things than any one of his envious friends can do in a week. On a Sunday he can sleep till eleven, play ball, practice with the Sultans, eat 13 MacDonald's in three minutes, have a date, write a 90 theme, work on the Carmfel and still go to Larrimer's to shoot the bull for an hour and a half. For anyone else, this day would be im- possible, but for Kal:-boy , it is easily done, and above all, done well. Whatever John does, one can always see his character. As an all-state basketball player, he is always trying to perfect his shot. As a friend, he is sincere, and always ready with a joke. Who else could, upon entering his home at 5:50 on a Sunday morning, reply when confronted by his mother: Well, Mom, I came home at one, and nothing was going on here, so I left to see if I could find some action. As one of the most popular seniors, we have, for three successive years, elected him to the Student Council. A leader in everything he does, john is not only taller than the rest of us physically, he has stature in everything he has accomplished till now, and will continue to have in what- ever he attempts in life. 27

Bob Fox likes responsibility. As President of the School, Bob has merited the respect of his fellow stu- dents. His leadership is not always the affable or brassy type, but is more often quiet and serious, setting an example for his peers. This does not mean that Bob is soft-spoken and has no personality. A diligent stu- dent, he is always in first group. As an athlete, he was a late bloomer. In track he did not reach his full potential until his junior year when he was a member of the 880 and mile relay teams. He was elected cap- tain of the 1967 team. In football, he was a star tail- back receiving All-League and All-County honors for his ability. His writing talent is apparent in both the Life and this publication. At parties, Bob is near the center of attraction and any senior can affirm that parties at Fox's, whether stag or mixed, are far from dull. 26 ROBERT L.

Red hair, a banana-ball shot, wide-wale corduroy pants, a bow and arrow, and the Math Club, to most people have no conection. But to the seniors, they spell out only one person: Rick Gast. Each represents a facet of Rick's charac- ter. Rick's striking red hair is a perfect match for his extrovert character. As starter at wing on the soccer team, Rick's most potent shot was a corner kick which could score a goal with his curving banana-ball shot. A dedi- cated follower of fashion, Modrick has been the first senior to don such new styles as paisley shirts, wide-wale corduroy pants, and racing stripe socks. As a skilled marks- man with the bow and arrow, Rick has spent several weeks hunting for deer in Michigan a la Redmen. Rick's most time-consuming activity is the Math Club. A gifted Math student in the classroom, Rick has carried this interest over into the Math Club. His aptitude in Math seems to be leading Rick to a career in engineering with the Boilermakers. Add to this ability his flamboyant personality and a successful life can be forseen. 28 RICHARD L.
