He is one of the most determined boys in the class: he has studied diligently and, as a result, has consistently ranked in first or second group. Although he is not athletically gifted, he has given four years of great effort to football and was head basketball manager for three years. Ted's determination is not confined to academics and athletics, he is also one of the most active members of the class. His managerial acumen has led him to produc- tive service as business manager of the Life and circulation manager of the Caravel. Outside of school, he is a member of the executive board of the High School Red Cross. Fact leads a well-ordered life. Not only does he organize his studies and his ac- tivities, but, it seems he even plans his weekends weeks ahead. After attending a science program at Union College last summer, Ted became interested in engineering. His determina- tion, his general knowledge, and his will- ingness to learn will undoubtedly make him successful. 23

Two young men stroll onto the golf course on a mild and cool afternoon. The tall, slender one suddenly walks back to the pro shop. In a matter of a few moments, he emerges sporting a red golf sweater. Price tag: 5535. There is but one boy in our class who could have performed such a feat of splurge -the King of self indulgence: Thomas Patrick Coady. Known, at various times, as a bookie, card-shark, and a basketball player, Tom indeed has a colorful character. He was one of the first promoters of big time wres- tling in our class. Although Tom's life outside of school does not usually involve his classmates, he has become close friends with a great many of the members of the class of '68. If in the future, any of us meet Tom, he will always be willing to sit and talk, have a few drinks, reminisce and foot the bill with all the gentlemanly graces. His gener- osity, color and courtesy will always be a part of his character. 22 THOMAS P. COADY Enlerefl Academy in 1964 1, 2, .. 1, 2, 3, 2, 5, A A Q ' 4 x Yi ,fi I V ' I l ,J ,, J 4 N.n.eaW -4 .

Alex Fernandez may be Cuba's greatest gift to the world since Desi Arnaz. His Latin handsomeness and charm and his ready sense of humor have made him popular among both fellow students and local girls. Alex seems to possess a natural ability to learn. However, he is not gifted with a great desire to work with his ability: he probably sleeps more in class than most of us do at home. Nonetheless, with a bit more effort, Alex would be a top student. This year, Alex took a lively interest in the Spanish Club Cwhich was founded by his fatherj and was elected one of the three junior presidents. He has also worked hard on the soccer, football, and track teams. Alex has added a touch of the unusual, and has thus made an important contribution to the staid old Academy. His friendliness, virility, and ready smile have made him a welcome change from the ordinary guy. After all, who else would consider taking his girl to a drive-in on his motorcycle? 24 ALEX FERNANDEZ-BRITO Entered Academy in 1963 Football .............. 1, 2, 4 Soccer ..... ...... 2 Track ......... .......... 3 Spanish Club .. 1, 2, 5, 4 VarsityA... ....3,4 li . is M .rs n 1 . 7 gs' .- 'f ,. -TH
