The Fourth Form As a group the Fourth Form, or Class of 1961, has epitomized the diversity of potential, interests, and activities so prevalent at Hoosac. Our boys have flunked out and attained Highest Honors. New boys have replaced those that left. In sports we have run the seasonal gamut with varsity lettermen every step of the way, from soccer and cross-country into basketball and hockey and out to baseball and track. Our extra-curricular activities have included all that are referred to on other pages of this yearbook, and many others never acknowledged. We have raced hot rods, written short stories and novels, and read much unassigned literature, if you can call it that. With a few well chosen transplantings and some careful weeding, we feel that our fertile garden of a class can, in due time, produce one of the best crops of Sixth Formers and graduates to ever blossom forth from Hoosac. We budding geniuses look forward to our flowering with great anticipation and eagerness, that we may command all due recognition for our achievements. Pago 29

Their individual activities have been many and varied. The Fifth Form has played a major part in athletic teamwork. Last fall the Fifth Form was well represented on the soccer field. All those who played were awarded letters for their fine jobs. During the winter its members were again active both on the basketball court and on the hockey rink. In scholarship the class ranked fairly high. Many were regularly appearing on the Honor Roll. Many Fifth Formers participated in the Liturgical Choir and also in dramatics. The more experienced acolytes in the Fifth Form have been constantly called upon. If the Fifth Form lives up to the reputation that it has established for itself so far, it may well be one of the more promising classes to graduate from Hoosac in a number of years. Page 28

The Third Form of Hoosac School consists of eleven boys who have much potential, and can do a great deal for Hoosac. Already the Form is developing leadership in some boys. The Class Secretary organized a petition to have an invitation dance for the Third Form only. Three other members spend most of their time on Honor Rolls. There arc also two Varsity Soccer Team members and one Varsity Basketball Team member within the Form. The J. V. Soccer Team was composed primarily of Third Formers, and had an undefeated season. The school’s only talented drummer is a Third Former. The class has a distinct personality which shall flavor Hoosac as it climbs the school ladder through the years. Page 30
