lllaltrr $rngrr Activities: Dramatics VI, Debating Club VI, Bible Reader VI, Study Hall Prefect VI. Boar’s Head and Yule Log: Beefeater VI. Athletics: Baseball. Sobriquets: “Walt”, “Tojo”. Favorite Saying: “Where’s Fr. D.?” Always Found: Behind the barn. Ambition: Social worker. Interests: Acting. School Memory: Getting caught by Father Williams. Bequests: A shower to Bill Hall. Pet Peeve: King’s snoring. If you are interested in International politics, see Walt. Following in his Dad’s footsteps, he is very knowledgeable on diplomacy, foreign aid, and problems in government. But in addition to his encyclopedic knowledge, he is a brilliant debater and a masterful actor. When one considers that Walt arrived later than his roommate, Kent King, it is amazing that he accomplished what he did. But Walt took everything in his stride. He was very good in his studies and did well in the school. We wish Walt a great time at Antioch, where he will be next year.

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!

Stanlru Iflecpier Activities: Sixth Form Council Member VI, Sigma Omega Delta IV, V, VI, Glee Club V, Waiter IV, V, VI, Head Dining Room Committee III, Graftonian IV, V, VI. Boar’s Head and Yule Log: Sprite I, II, Elizabethan V, VI, Sword Dance VI. Athletics: Grasshopper Basketball I. II, Varsity Soccer V, J. V. Basketball V. Sobriquets: Stanley, “Stan”, “Stash”, “Slim”.

School Memory: Old School party . . . Bequests: Driver’s license and employment card to Garges. Pet Peeve: Weight lifting . . . after lights. Stan, the oldest surviving member of our class, as far as years at Hoosac go, which isn’t far, is Los Angeles’ contribution to the valley of the Owl. He is president of the pinochle club and an active member of the after-lights canasta society. Stan’s favorite pastime is hunting. He hunts at Emma Willard, Albany Academy, and St. Agnes. The two troubles with his hunting are: 1. he has no license, and. 2. he has no gun—at least as far as we can see. Stan’s main ambition in life is to attend Vassar, but he heard Skidmore has an easier physical; therefore, he might have to settle for that. Best of luck with the wimmin and U.C.L.A., Stan.
