H Q 'E '44 Eighth Grade This year's eighth grade was once again divided into three sections, a fast, 8H, and two regulars, 8A composed of old boys and BB, composed of new. Ian Waldie, besides being president of the Lower School. representative for the Community Council, member of the Lower School student council, editor of one Lower School newspaper and assistant editor of the yearbook, showed good school spirit all year. Drew Schor, better known as Lips to his fellow students, had a strong French accent which no one could understand. He may be taking French One again next year. He decided to try boarding for the last part of the year. John Casey, affectionately called Jock, turned out to be a good soccer player and a fantastically good tennis player. Besides this, he spent a lot of time getting hours. The gang leader of BB was Mark Heid. He enjoyed his classes very much when he wasn't being kicked out. His favorite pastime was getting hours, and he almost set a new Lower School record. He ran against Ian Waldie for president of the Lower School in the spring, and should keep on running. Gene Barton was supposed to be a child prodigy, but no one has ever discovered what in. He was a great soccer player and could often be found fooling with Mark Heid. John Hand was commonly known as Little Lipper and was usually found teeing off with an eight iron with Mark Armstrong. He was the captain of the basketball team although he had to look up to Mr. Hubbard. Steve Hanson was in the Lamy Clan with his baggy pants and was usually found with Tony Rockwood. His PRFC's, fPuerto Rican Fence Climbersj were always getting stuck in walls. Harris Nagler decided to try skiing one day early in February, and broke his leg the first time out, but it didn't make any difference because he could still roll to his classes. His greatest racket was being able to have an excuse to spend all evening study halls up on the corridor. Buzz Burrows was in 8A and was usually found hanging around with the Barton Clan. He was sup- posed to fight Groetzinger in the 8A vs. BH battle, but we're still waiting. We're also waiting for his sports write-ups. I I

Baird Banner was commonly known as The Bat, for he could usually be found running around hypno tizing everyone. Many people think he passed by hypnotizing the teachers. Russ Chamberlain was commonly known as Jungle Bunny. Mr. Hubbard was always after him to contribute to his wig collection, but Russ never did. He was the tean'1's alternate soccer goalie, along with Jock Casey. Billy Mills was a member of the Heid Organization. He was a handsome but shy boy and a terrific swimmer. He also spent his time keeping Heid out of trouble. Jay Brown was the best third-string halfback our soccer team had. Jay got a letter with a little help from Baird Banner. He is a real master on cars, along with David Manes. John Holzinger, better known as Holzie, was sure his league baseball team was the best until the Budlongs beat it 22-4. Part of the trouble was Holzinger's famous hidden ball tricks which sometimes misfired. But Holzie's greatest contribution to the Lower School was his organization of the HALOS. No one seemed to turn in anything to him when he asked for it. Steve Adler was in 8A and could usually be found with Mark Armstrong during study hall, although they were in different rooms. He was a captain of a league baseball team, but he had a little trouble keeping out of the cellar in league standings. Peter Roslow was also called The Ros. He turned out to be a really smart person. He made honors most of the time. He had a race with Dave Rosen to see who could get the most cards and won with one card. Ros was also a good baseball player. Bill Mathewson turned out to be a real slugger.for the baseball team. He also belonged to the Heid Organization, but he finally broke away. He turned out to be a whiz in math. Charlie Chamy was the alias John Chamalian went by for much of the year. He was known for his tall tales of Agramonte, where he claimed he could buy a tank. Besides this he spent his time imitating Mr. Wilkin. Dave Rosen still has strange feelings about the cycling distance to Playland, for he kept wondering why the group hadn't arrived by twelve. He was responsible for most of the best of the 8B write-ups. Steve Frumkes was usually called Frumsk. He was the Gratiano of the Lower School. He could talk and talk and never say a thing. He was also the only one who could make students laugh during mid- years. Chip Gronauer can often be recognized by his self-made wool scarves. He was generally well liked, but some of his habits . . . are questioned. Matt Gluckson came from nowhere to become the first-string halfback on the soccer team. Matt was well liked by everyone, but especially by his twin, Jeff Rachlin. Jon Groetzinger was famous for his monkey grins during study halls which made everyone crack up. He was a star football player, but broke his leg during the St. Agnes game which put him out for the rest of the season. He was the winner of the Lower School talent show in May, and people are still talk- ing about his brilliant accordion. David Manes was a diligent worker, but he no one was ever quite sure what he was working at. He came from a farm up north of here. Dave was our guide during our Supreme Court tour. Jeff Klein's record was exemplary, except for his hours, long punishment compositions, and troubles with music class. He seemed to be quite a different fellow when his twin brother Norman wasn't around. Rocky Rockwood had an indifference toward 8H and leaned toward SA. After that he seemed to be leaning right out. He was the technical business manager of the HALOS, but Marty Greller had to fill in for him somewhat. Julio Gonzalez del Solar, better known as Speedy, turned out to be a true Spanish gentleman. He turned his room into a club-house, for he had the only student TV in school. I-Ie was also 8B class pres- ident for one season. Speedy ended up to be a real merit winner. I2
