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.

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!

Please! Well, how about a donation of twenty-five dollars?” These familiar words came from the mouth of Gerry Guild. If they hadn’t been spoken, you would not be holding a hard-bound edition of the OWL in your hands. A certain party in the school, who doesn’t know what he is talking about, says that Gerry is Nason's side-kick, but you’ve got to admit that they are roommates. When it comes to throwing pebbles at windows, they are very proficient. Gerry is the mastermind of the school in more ways than one. When it comes to fast thinking, Mr. Guild excells in school work and athletics. No wonder he got his “H” in Soccer. The only thing he slips up on is using a broom and dust rag. He’ll never make a good bachelor. He doesn’t plan to be one, though! Gerry looked forward to the mail break each day for he liked to get something for his efforts. This tyrant is another on the council. He has a very bad reputation for wielding a bigger “stick” than Nason. Again ask the eight room. Some day Gerry hopes to build an aeronautical engine operated by a breeder reaction which gives out energy as it disintegrates. At the end of the reaction more fissionable material is present. How about that! I guess he will make out all right at Brown University next Fall.
