The Owl Board Editor-in-Chicf VI, Dance Committee VI. One of our two dormitory prefects this year. Chuck spent the summer here at school getting things ready for the opening of school this fall. In his infrequent spare time he can usually be found re- laxing on his bed listening to lps” on his portable hi-fi. Chuck is a well-rounded athlete, having played both basketball and baseball in his two years here, as well as soccer. Chuck is a very conscientious person in both personal neatness and room appearance. He also accepts responsibility well, and this undoubtedly will help him be a success wherever he goes. Pag© 17

First tow, Clayton, llrnurlt, Hunt, Torey Second row, Itattin, Comer, Moss, Thompson The Sixth Form Certain boys stand out among the sixth formers for having earned certain niches for themselves, such as Tom Thompson, who is the class scholar and is planning to go to Brown University. Don was the athlete of the class and has applied to Springfield College. Herb and Skip did coaching jobs about the school and Herb is planning to go to Cortland State Teacher's College and make coaching his vocation. Skip would like to make baseball his professional career. Ed wants to become a doctor and plans to take his pre-med course at Union in Schenectady. Chuck would like to become an insurance man and go to Ursinus College in Pennsylvania, and likewise Bill wants to go to Georgia Tech and become a textile engineer. George, the most recent acquisition to the class roster, plans to attend the University of Buffalo. Geographically the hometowns of these eight boys range over more than one-third of the United States, from Illinois to Rhode Island, from upper New York state to southern Georgia. Despite this tremendous distance we hope they will continue to keep in touch with each other and remember the school from which they graduated. Pag© 16

Herbert Reynolds Bennett 4 Lincoln Drive Tuppcr Lake, New York 1957- 1959 Activities: Associate Editor of The Owl Board VI. Soccer V, Track Coach V. VI, Riding Club V. Cross-country Coach VI, Hockey Team Manager VI. When upper formers entered the smoking room and heard silence except for one voice, they usually heard Herbie spinning one of his yarns again. When he moved down from the mountains of Tupper Lake last year he brought with him quite a knowledge of woodsmanship that he- has distributed freely amongst us city slickers. When not in the smoking room, he might be found up at his log cabin with his roommate, Ed Torey. Being very enthusiastic about sports, it was his determination that finally got Hoosac started in track last spring. His rugged stature and good-naturedness will long be remembered by all. Pago 18
