Tom is the school’s “Lord of Risrule” in everyday life. He keeps every- one laughing with his unending series of impersonations and his many hilarious dialects from morning to night. Tom is one of those distinguished, immortal Field House Boys. Tom, an all-around athlete, was high-scorer for the soccer team. He is Liturgical Choir, a great hater of Algebra, and a great lover of Cambridge. N. Y.. and he just got here last September. Tom plans to enter Brown University next September. We wish you all the luck in the world. Tom.

Here he comes now; you might not recognize him behind that beard but it is “Unca” Highland in the raw. Over his shoulder is flung a soggy old muskrat just taken from one of his many traps. “Beware of the Evil Day.” is John’s motto. This is also the warning given to our athletic rivals for when there’s a John Highland playing against them, the Evil Day has arrived. If anybody wants to buy an “H”, John is the man to see. He has collected so many that he uses them as a wallpaper pattern. One of “Unc’s” favorite days is Arbor Day. All he needs is a thousand pine trees from the Government. Bill Stern has nothing on John. Not only does he take a big part in our sports but he also gives the OWL and OWLET subscribers a play-by-play description of each game, soccer, basketball, or baseball. I bet you can guess where John is going next year. You’re right, he’s going to Syracuse University, Forestry Department.

Dave is the guy who can usually be found sleeping soundly in the upper bunk in his room at the top of the stairs leading to the third floor. We think he puts himself away just to dream about a young lady in Potsdam, N. Y., but that’s just a guess. Dave is the pride of the soccer team. His hard play has earned him a position on the Taconic Conference All-Star Soccer Team for 1954. His other interests stem from working on the Owl Board to singing for the Choir. Glee Club, and the “Four Counts” vocal quartet. Dave’s voice is the mainstay of the bass rank. Dave is a “four-year” man at Hoosac. He has been an active member of the Social Committee for three years and has achieved a good all-around record here. He plans to enter either Union College or Hobart, where our beloved alumnus Tom “Roy Acup” Ross abides. Good luck. Dave.
