Dr. Roger G. Cooley, Headmaster B. S. Hamilton, M.A. University of Vermont, PhD. Rochester The end of two years at a new job is no stopping point, and for Hoosac it is only a drop in the proverbial bucket. At times the rewards in educational and social enlightenment can not have seemed worth the cost in human endeavor. Yet these two years provide the objective observer with a sound idea of what can happen in the future, of what Hoosac can be, and of what it has to look forward to. And it is the responsibility of these people to remember those who arc largely responsible for the advances that have been made, and to give credit where credit is due. We salute Dr. Cooley for the inestimable value of his contributions to Hoosac. Pag® 7

The Rev. James L. Whitcomb North Bennington, Vermont Acting Chaplain After serving Hoosac School for a number of years as both Headmaster and Rector, Father Whitcomb thought that he could settle down to a peaceful existence at his Cold Spring Farm. But when Canon Williams tlid not return this fall, to whom could Hoosac turn but Father Whitcomb? Under his benign influence the chapel has improved both spiritually and materially. All Hoosac owes him a vote of thanks for his time and help. Mr. Walter C. Wood Its. University of Vermont, EdM. Harvard Bennington, Vermont Director of Admissions, Director of Studies, Science During the course of an average day at Hoosac, Mr. Wood is frequently seen descending into, or ascending from, the subterranean depths of his laboratory, where he attempts to get the Hoosac students well-versed in the complicated formulae and tables which compose the mysteries of Chemistry. At other times he may be found working diligently in his office, looking over new applications, studying testing programs, and advising the boys in their choice of colleges. Mr. Randolph Gilman H.A. Amherst Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Mathematics Although Mathematics is usually looked upon by the average student with groans of agony, Mr. Gilman has simplified his courses so that all students can understand the science behind mathematics and do well. When the course material must of necessity become difficult we only hope Mr. Gilman's patience with us will last. His extra-curricular duties include much scheduling work, assisting in the testing program, and being adviser to The Rifle Club. Pag© 9
