Would you like to further the interests of your firm via good publicity through our yearbook?” With questions like these, Tink would plunge headfirst into conversations with our local patrons. By the means of his winning personality he solicited many pages of countless ads. Through his unstinted work another hard cover yearbook has been possible. But Tink’s industriousness did not stop there. He was also Senior Prefect. In this responsible post the management of the school’s discipline was almost entirely in his hands. Not only was he efficient, but gentle. In addition to th:s tremendous responsibility, he had an exhausting job as president of the H Club. This involved much organization on his part. Tink, of course, was important in all three sports; he was co-captain of the soccer team. Tink was a sine qua non on both the decoration and social committees. As student chauffeur, he has a distinguished record for driving to and from places on time, and often early! Needless to say. Tink has been a good example to the rest of the school by setting an expeditious tempo for us to follow. Because of his tireless activity, it is a wonder that he didn’t wear out!

(Christopher Uronsim Activities: Athletics: Varsity Soccer—Taconic Conference All Star VI. Varsity Baseball VI. Boar’s Head and Yule Log: Beefeater VI. Editor-in-chief of Owl and Owlet VI, Dramatics VI, “H” Club VI, Graftonian VI, Honor Roll VI, Debating Club VI, Coup D Etat VI, Liturgical Choir VI, Bible Reader VI. Sobriquets: “Chris”, “Doc”, “Doctor K”. Favorite saying: “Your terminology is not only fallacious but absurd.” Always Found: With his typewriter. Interests: Rummy Lou. School Memory: Fr. D’s nocturnal visits. Bequests: The management of “Coup D’Etat” to Hobv and Rebel. Pet Peeve: S. O. D. Chris, a p.g. from Hotchkiss, descended on Hoosac from the hub of the social world, Greenwich. Conn., in September with his Lester Lanin hat. typewriter, and soccer shoes. Chris was handicapped by being a member of the Hotchkiss-Yale tradition. Yes sir, even Grandpappv went to Yale back in the early days of Hotchkiss. He had a hard job to do, but with the backing of Fr. Wood (another Yalie) he overcame his Hotchkiss ways. He did a pretty good job, considering he had Pappy on his side. Not only is Chris editor of this yearbook and the school paper, a prominent member of the dramatics club, debating team, public speaking society, but he also managed to lead his class scholastically and make the all-star soccer team. Since the vallev of the Owl lacks the Greenwich social life, Chris or Dr. Kinsey as Fr. D. calls him, has turned to making survevs at St. Agnes. Due to the ardor in his surveys he received his M.S., D.B.S., and B.W. from the nicotine club. His main claim to fame is being the only one in school who understands Mr. Clarke, but that comes from close contact with him. We wish Dr. Kinsey the best of luck in his future surveys and social life. And, Dr. K.. don’t get caught emptying ash-trays.

Activities: Boar’s Head and Yule Log: Mummers Plav VI, Beefeater VI. Athletics: Debating Club VI, Dramatics VI. Owl Board VI. Public Speaking VI. Bible Reader VI. lit cut Vtiim Sobriquets: “Kent”, “Tenty . Favorite sayings: “Hi Gang!”, “Make Out! Always found: Writing Helen’s name. Ambition: Professional acting on Broadway. Interests: Helen. School Memory: January 21, 1956. Bequests: His Mitre to Jim Boink. Pet Peeve: Not enough Butt-Breaks. “In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love”, and we sec the Montclair flash, Kent King, wandering around in a daze. Upon closer inspection we discover the name of Helen written over his books, his paper and his roommate. Kent came to us a little late in the Senior year, but in his short time he has left quite an impression on the school. He has been active in the debating society and dramatics club, but still finds time to put in a personal appearance on the baseball diamond. When not indulging in his favorite pastime, letter-writing, Kentie can be found reading or telling Mr. Creighton Clarke that he is not in the barnyard. Hoosac wishes Kent the best of luck in all his ambitions.
