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.

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.

Y., which is a milk stop along the D. H. line, in case you have not heard of it. John was co-captain of the basketball and soccer teams and was center fielder for the baseball team. When not beating up Lee Bishop, he can usually be found in the sack. Saboo has one great weakness, dark haired girls. His ambition is to settle down in Italy where there are millions of them. Good luck to you in later life, John!
