i l ! : 4 E---iifatfe. r , Seventh Grade C This year's seventh grade has had a most colorful year and the hardy band looks forward to the top position in the Lower School next year. Charles Ball took a chance on his English grade next year by taking two pictures of Mr. Dexter. Chip and Mr. Buessow often had discussions on meteorology. Who's the I, F. K. of the Seventh Grade? Edward Bermingham! And we suggest that he get some early driver's training if he is to become the next driver of the Packard tank. Monte Brieant is the only person who could raise a dust cloud walking on a sidewalk. He is also known for his art work in music class. He is a good photographer, but missed a lot of candid shots be- cause when he ran too fast, his pants would rip. Happy Fred Buck was not too happy when he saw his first history mark. By the end of the year. he -had brought up the mark by studying history in math class. When Jimmy Carson saw our beloved Hackley campus, he packed up and left. In spite of his absence, he made honors in the third marking period. Rick Deane seemed to think that he was Mr. Hubbard's equal by the way he responded in math class. Rick tried to equal Sampson in basketball until he got pounded by Armstrong. ,Ton Freed helped Mr. Hubbard release the graph chart until it hit him on the head. Freed was con tinually being cut down by Nixon and Clapper. This accounts for his small size. William Gladstone is known as an Android because of his constant 100's in math and science. Bill remarked when he got a 97 on his science mid-year, !7'70i,i+'3f4Q1J! ! I I What did I do wrong? Charlie Harrison known as Harry B by Mr. Dexter and was constantly giving bat juice to Baird Banner. He and Mr. Wilkin had many Stare-Down battles. Randy Herman, otherwise known as Rudulph, got cold feet on the ski trip and left. He is a good English student and wrestler. All the Monitor's meetings were livelier because of a very active participant, Towny Lathrop. He also tried to outdo Mr. Rice in a history discussion which took up a period. Wayland Linscott makes sounds like an alligator and scares people with his tail and snout full of teeth. He also uses M-80 for his insignia. Many people feel he is one. 29

Steve Messuta has lost his guinea pig urge, but now has a new one - having a resemblance to a soc- cer ball. George Mokray was the literary talent of the Seventh Grade - known for his original story, And- roid, taken from the Twilight Zone. He and Lanigan are running a contest for the highest voice in the Lower School. Who has the smile of a saint? None other than Matthew Sampson, otherwise known as Tinsel Teeth. Matt is well liked and a very good basketball player. Chris Praeger is noted for his fine skiing ability on his fourth-hand Heads. Chris is a stalwart mem- ber of'Mr. Dexter's camera club. Hal Rosen thinks he is one of the best pole vaulters, second only to Ian Waldie. Has was a six-man captain and is looking forward to playing on the eleven-man team next year. Doug Shachnow resigned from the role of Mr. Machine and Mike Mercury to become a playwright. Doug's knowledge of paper amazed Mr. Buessow in the Science Fair. Sturge, David Sturges to those less informed, developed a sore arm from Ed Bermingham's con- stant pounding. Dave stumped Mr. Buessow with his science project of 101 cameras! Dave Wright is still looking for the glasses that he lost in the Okefenokee. Duke Budlong had trouble controlling the terrible trio until he was told by Mr. Rice that if he heard anyone talking that Duke would get hours! Duke is also a fine skier and football player. Joey, a member of the terrible trio, shot one of his friends in the Talent Show. Joey is also known as The Clapper Cutie Doll. Charles D'Angio skipped from the sixth grade to the seventh and now wishes he were back. He has joined the Scott Buessown Clan, the Three Buttons Buttoned Club. Bill Finkledey is known for his short spring science project - twenty-five pages long. Bill and Jon Freed are constantly arguing about who is the smallest person in the seventh grade! Martin Greller is called Threeaddsaday ! The Raymonds and the Savages joined to hang Marty on the flagpole, but many thought it would hurt the prestige of the school and the flagpole. John Rockwood broke his hand on Jerry Harris' head! He is an excellent skier and is dying to show Charlie Harrison the stem christie. And Jerry Harris' head still hurts, too! Jerry was constantly being hit by Mr. Rice's eraser which was actually aimed at Nixon. Randy Hediger and Tommy Noyes are running a contest to see who has the brightest shirt. Randy has made honors and throws the shot pretty well. The angel of the seventh grade, and Mr. Rice's pet, cannot be overlooked. Some people have lost a few inches from Peter Nixon's cuts, but John Rockwood had a different reaction to Pete's cuts. And Pete ended up losing the inches. Gene Pressman once asked the football coach why he was on the third string. The reply, . . . be J cause we don't have a fourth. Rip Puckhafer was the able manager of the 1:50 cleanup! ! ! Roly-Poly Rip was a delightful mem- ber of League Baseball. Ed'Scul1, well known to the gang as Scull Babes, was the tall, silent type until he got on the Lower School corridor. - Many discussions are carried on by Andy Shannon and Joey Clapper - during Study Hall! ! Andy was famous for his knee sox during football season. 30
