(Lite (OinI IBoarb This year the Owl Board has accomplished much. We have lived up to last years Owl Board in publishing another hard cover yearbook. And in the field of newspapers, we have even surpassed our predecessors. We turned out an eight page alumni issue for the occasion of Mother Walsh’s 30th anniversary. In fact, the Owlets have played a principal role in strengthening the Alumni association of Hoosac. Needless to say the Owlets have been, as always, important for school publicity in general. Therefore, the members of the Owl Board can feel confident that they have played a significant part in the continuance of Hoosac. For the success of this year’s Owl the credit should go to our business men. All associations need money merely to subsist. The Owl Board is no exception. The business managers, Murray Britton and Tink Elliot, and their eager assistants, Boby Bobak, Gerry Benzinger, and Frank Rom-ary, have done a breathtaking job in managing the finances. As a result of their relentless canvassing and winning salesmanship, the Owl Board had enough money not only to keep going, but to improve itself as well. Another important job is that of the editor. The school year started off with Hannum as editor, but he unfortunately departed from Hoosac at the end of the Fall term. This indeed was a crippling loss. Han was not only a brilliant English student of distinguished taste, but an accomplished art student as well. To replace this loss the Owl Board held a meeting and unanimously elected Chris Bronson as the new editor. The good doctor, however, found that he had a formidable task ahead of him. To fall into Hannum’s shoes was like stepping into Gargantua’s boots. But “Doc” had one factor on his side. He received co-operation from the entire staff for the whole time he was editor. Chris found the job challenging, but very rewarding. All in all he liked it. Editor at large was another position that carried weight. Ray Lance had this exhausting job and did very well. Jim Keenan was another competent executive, who helped keep the presses rolling. Jim, as events editor, made sure that articles were turned in on time. John Bobak and Bill Watkinson, as Social editors, covered the Albany Academy and St. Agnes dances. We are indebted to these two for their on-the-spot reporting. They helped make the Owlet more readable. Terry Loftus, Hoby Schwartz, and Peter Magee kept the paper well documented with the latest scoops on the athletic situation. Speaking of Peter Magee, he deserves a paragraph of his own. It did not take editor Bronson long to discover Magee’s talent in verbalization. In addition to his excellent sports and events write-ups, Pete was found to be the last word in incidentals, few of which however were published unexpurgated. Nevertheless, Peter Magee, as a vital participator, proved to be a sustaining force in our organization. Geoffrey Ball was a good staff writer, a reliable proofreader, and an efficent exchange editor. Geoffrey was indispensable and shows signs of having in the future a great career in journalism. As for our faculty adviser, the whole Owl Board salutes Mr. Howard, who went to endless trouble to make both the Owlet and Owl a success. We were always pestering him for help. He not only assisted us in writing, but occasionally wrote articles himself. Had it not been for his unselfish aid and direction, the Owl Board would not have functioned. Consequently, we want to take advantage of this chance to express our much belated thanks to Mr. Howard for all that he has done for both the paper and yearbook.
