Yandell Head Of The Upper School Among the unquestionable highlights of the '74-'75 school year were the stirring sermonettes delivered by our very own Carlos B. Tuttle, a man known for his dry ioften parchedi humor. When that infamous week in February rolled around, Tuttle was there with his carefully prepared, infor- mative talks, explaining just what had happened and what the discipline committee was planning to do about it. And when a wayward volleyball felt compelled to turn in a false alarm ithe ball is still in custodyi, Tuttle was there with a calm, cool, concise fit of hysteria. As an advisor, Tuttle showed an amazing patience in the face of seniors determined to spend their last year at HH comatose or out to lunch. We'll never forget Tuttle's Fire Speech, or Tuttle's Hazing Speech, or Tuttle's l'M-NOT-MAD-AT-YOU! speech, or Tuttle's Neglected Puppies Speech, or Tuttle's There Won't Be Any More Speeches Speech. And, even if we wanted to try, we'll never forget Mr. Tuttle himself. Thomas N. Elmer Roger W. Noldt Donald L. Paige - Doyle C.

Headmaster joins School They couldn't fool me. l know that guy with the snow-goose tie hadn't really come from Sesame Street. He didn't have one yellow feather on him. The search was over. john A. Bird, our new head- master had been installed. We all felt a bit strange the first day when he didn't know he was supposed to ring the little bell to call everyone to announcements, but finally he got the hang of it and things fell into pattern-but not the pattern of years past. Mr. Bird did more than merely fill Mr. Moore's vacated position. john A. tno relation to jonathan Livingstonj pulled the school together, made it more for- mal. For example, no cokes were allowed during the Cum Laude Initiation, more recognition was given to more people- sports teams, publications staffs, organizations other than those widely known. Mr. Bromley took over one of Mr. Elmer's incredibly many and helpful jobs, the Deanship. Once the shock of these in- itial changes passed, the school settled down to a new year. ludith BfaZln5kY Douglas L.

You might call him unfair, a player of favorites, over-demanding, a sexual pervert, anything awful your overworked brain can produce, but you don't ap- preciate him. Teachers spend as much time as we do at school, sponsoring camping trips, help paint signs, advise us when we're angry or down or in trouble, build sets, direct plays, give concerts, spend free mods tutor- ing, coach sports, and most im- pressive of all-put up with fre- quent spurts of apathy, bad jokes, anger, silliness, and dullness, to name a few. fHave you ever been about to drive a relevant, deep point home when you notice fifteen pairs of glassy, semi-conscious eyes fixed on yours?l The Holland Hall faculty is not, for the most part, just a set of teachers trained to preside over us and mold us into a pre- designed shape. They could be, but they're not. They have great individuality, and allow us to have ours . . . that's very rare. Mr. Bird bounces while Messrs. Palma and Price lunge along in the com- pany of Clark Lipotich and Rick Chadsey at the Faculty-Senior basket- ball game. V152 1' li 2 5 f fi-elsmseza
