Any question about cars? If so, ask Mack! Mack is an authority on ignition switches, hub caps, windshields, carburetors, and even cigarette lighters! It was he who could be counted upon to fix the bus. The only, time Mack failed us was when it was time to smooth out a few fenders. Another subject Mack is conversant on is girls. If you don’t believe this, ask Anita. But the subject he knows most about is colleges. He has applied to many and has investigated still more. In addition to these interests he has become bookish and scholarly. In view of this, his career in college is assured. Bet of luck to you, Mack, in Siena.

Ray accompanies his roommate on many surveys and takes a few on his own. As captain of the baseball team he strives to keep Mr. Dickie in line. While everyone else is asleep Saturday morning. Ray is lining the baseball diamond. Ray is going to a foreign college, Texas Christian University. (It’s just west of Arizona—no one claims it, but what do you expect). It was a disappointment when Wellesley turned him down, but he lacked a couple of good points. As president of the Saturday morning breakfast-in-bed club, Ray was a complete flop—he went to chapel one morning and Britton kicked him out. (The president of the club is elected—no civil service exams!) We wish Ray all the luck at T.C.U., but watch out for those Texas girls.

Boar’s Head and Yule Log: Jester VI. Athletics: Varsity Soccer—Taconic Conference All Star, Honorable Mention VI. Varsity Basketball—Taconic Conference All Star VI, Varsity Baseball, Co-Captain VI. Sobriquets: “Pete”, “Magoc”, “Magoozel”. Favorite Saying: “Swank and Residential.” Always Found: In Bliss’s room. Ambition: To marry Kim. Interests: Kim. School Memory: The party at Erica’s. Bequests: Hoby, the right to come to a Brown weekend. Pet Peeve: Hoosac not being co-ed. Pete, hot from Kent School, dropped onto Hoosac like a cobalt bomb. At first he looked like a typical boarding school Rah Rah. but even the shortest conversation would dispel such a hasty premature conclusion. First of all Pete is anything but typical. Quite to the contrary, he is a veritable rara avis. His name is enough to confound any expert in tongue twisters, but aside from his appellation, his unusual, vital, and coruscating personality baffles even the most competent psychologist, including the notorious Dr. Kinsey. But Pete is far from non compos mentis. Instead he is in full possession of his talents of which he has an abundance almost to the point of superfluity. Pete uses his many manifold talents in a variety of ways. He uses them with rirls. (Ask Kim, she will tell you.) He uses his talents on the athletic field. (Ask him, he will tell you.) Pete won honorable mention for the All Star team in soccer and made the All Star team in basketball. He was also a whiz on the baseball diamond. Then, he was also a distinguished writer on the Owl Board and should have been editor, but his rival from Hotchkiss. Doc Bronson the p.g., faked him out with big words and a typewriter. Pete was an active thespian and played in general a significant role in the school.
