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

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

Larry Lamy came into 8A from SH about the second month of the year. He also took a vacation away from school after mid-years. Thus he became the only new boy in 8A. He was a great one for the mashed potatoes with his PRFC's. Larry was allergic to barbers. Tony Rockwood visited 8A after mid-years and decided to stay. You could always find Rockwood and Hanson together. He was great at football and was the captain of the wrestling team. He turned out to be quite a wicked baseball pitcher. Peter Salomon never seemed to have a pencil and was always asking for one. He was a great piano player. though few people realized how great until he was part of the famous trio in the talent show. Steve Ney, in spite of his size, was a very good wrestler. He was Drew Schor's counterpart in the battle for the biggest lips, but he lost by a large vote. Steve thrived on his reputation for Shylock of the Lower School. His favorite expression was Yes, I have a nickel. Five cents a day interest. Jon Kimmel, affectionately known as Kim, improved his grades from last year and was always in high spirits. He was known as Dum Dum by the boarders. Jay Facciolo was the smart-est member of 8H and thus of the eighth grade, and surprisingly enough, he is the only Zenbuddhist Hackley has ever had. Jay was often called Brillo because of his short, curly hair. Ben Bailey spent his year being the class joker and lawyer, getting Heid and Mills out of trouble. He was also a good soccer player. He constantly entertained us with his good humor and made a good 8B president. Barry Mitchell was affectionately known as Mitch. He was quiet, but did quite well. He loved to interrupt whatever was going on. He was a good photographer and he enjoyed Mr. Wilkins' English class, but there was no guarantee that he would have the answer when he was called on. Dennis Kirby did not fool around much with Bob Lanigan this year, but was a looper in 4:25 study hall in Room E. Dennis was quite a good soccer player, though he never managed to get the team on Candid Camera. Bob Lanigan joined wrestling in the last month of the season and was always being beaten by Charlie Colgan. Weight may have had something to do with it. Bob was the biggest hacker in Room E during 4:25 study hall. He was always full of knock-knock jokes, but his most famous quote of the year was, Wouldn't it be fun if we got stuck! Rod Tierney, the box head was famous for his ripped pants, and turned out to be quite a football player, until he broke his leg. Peter Iovanovich dared to slight SA and act superior, until 8A stomped him out and left him inferior Pete was quite an unusual baseball player. He was also frequently number 2 man, right behind Facciolo in marks. Jeff Rachlin and Matt Gluckson were almost inseparable, so much so, that for the first part of the year, a lot of people mixed them up. Bob Royle was the leader of the eighth grade through the first part of the year and was always very popular, though he lost a little face after the last Lower School dance. Marty Schwartz had style in everything he did, in baseball, football, basketball, and school work, though sometimes people had differing opinions about that style. . Mark Armstrong was commonly known as Marcus and could usually be found practicing with a nine iron on the football field during track practice. Mr. Rice didn't mind, however, as he is a golfer, too. Charlie Colgan was usually known as Poncho and was a great admirer of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony along with Frumkes. Art Cormano, a great speller, even spelled his middle name wrong on the eighth grade biography sheets. He was always losing pens. Tom Hord was famous for his Hambone jokes and ran a close competition with Mr. D. for the Hairiest Eyeball. I3
