Was it worth it? “Gar” is not only the Junior Prefect but he is also a Field House Boy. You ask why those three words are capitalized. Just ask Dick; he knows. As Junior Prefect, he takes great pleasure in doing a little writing while in class. This writing is in the form of names and demerits. He just wants to see a few guys at the Sunday Council Meeting. “Gar’s” symbol is a steering wheel for he drives the school bus. We couldn’t understand it but he always got us to where we were going. Dick likes to send packages home but does the sweat break out on him when the temperature goes up. Someone will get the BANG of his life. Only a select group has seen “Gar's” little black book. It contains names, dates and times with the B. B’s. Ranger McConnell is attending next year Paul Smith College. Gosh, look at that man in the lumber shirt!

A head ducks around the corner. “Where’s the article?” These words are characteristic of Phil Nason, our editor-in-chief, as he calls on a member of the Owl Board. As the chief of the school’s publications. Phil was able to extract various contributions from his cohorts on the Board. But this is only one of Phil’s activities in the school. On the field of battle, during soccer season. Phil was the last bulwark between victory or defeat. His success as goalie was such that the president of our Conference decided to bestow an All-Star rating on him. As if this wasn’t enough, Phil did the same in Basketball. His prowess as a pitcher was outstanding the past two seasons. Sports are just one small part of Phil’s activities. Having only been here a year, he was elected Senior Prefect. This made him B. M. O. C. He walks softly but, oh. what a big stick. Ask the eight room. In his spare time. Williamstown is foremost in his mind. We don’t mean Williams College either. Now, we know why he wanted to be on the Social Com- mittee. Phil is the Baritone section of the Glee Club along with possibly a few others. If the Baritones go flat we know why. Despite everything, any college Glee Club will welcome him as a valuable asset. We will miss him here.

It wasn’t long before he became a regular citizen of our school and gained positions of responsibility and respect. His drive and spirit for the soccer team have proved invaluable and, of course, being from Norwich, Vt., he’s a “natural-born” skier. In his Senior year, “Goody” was the Prefect of the Second Floor Dormi- tory. This, while being one of the highest positions that can be given to a student, is also one of the busiest jobs to be found anywhere. On top of this, he was Head Bellringer. This meant keeping the school running on schedule from morning to night. Goody was also Head Pantry Boy. He had to see to it that the kitchen ran smoothly and in well organized fashion. If all this didn’t prove to be sufficient entertainment for him, he studied hard, and now he plans to enter The University of Vermont next fall. Best of luck, Goody.
