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.

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.

His collection of records has stimulated many a dance and has brought the jitterbuggers from the corner. Aside from jazz, Harry has worked continuously for six years on his guitar. Progress has been slow, but he’s getting there. Because of his records Harry usually is seen at the door of one of the master’s rooms asking them for the use of their record-playing machines. Recently Harry’s interests have been turning in other directions. Hoosick Falls seems to be the place to visit and not Mr. Noveck’s record store. As long as Harry has been here, he has been the focus for much fun and merriment. Life will be quite different at Hoosac without him.
