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.

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.

Interests: Blondes in red convertibles. Bequests: Room to Rebel. Pet Peeve: Fire drills. Frank, the third oldest surviving member of our class, is well known for his prolific letter writing. As a writer of missives and a scintillating talker, he is infamous around St. Agnes, Saranac Lake, and of course, Norton Hill, his home town. As for socializing, Frank won’t forget Cal’s. “Lover boy Frankie” is characterized by neatness. Especially neat was his room where there was a row of miniature drinking glasses. Please be advised that these were not ornamental. Frank is a lover of good fun and joviality. He is always laughing and kidding around. In the school this felicity was an indispensable asset. His cheerful disposition was of course helpful to him and others when he carried out his responsible duties. While he was usually slap happy, he could be strict and tough. For instance, as study hall prefect he kept order with an iron hand; as a result, the under-formers referred to him as the terror of the Senior Class. But to his fellow classmates, Frankie was anything but a terror. He was, instead, a great guy, who was much fun for all.
