Peter Suydan Hendrickson 59 South Bay Avenue Brightwaters, New York 1957- 1960 Activities: Soccer IV, V, VI; Rifle Club (vice- president) V, VI; Hockey V, VI; Tennis V, VI; Dramatics IV, V VI. Since he first came to Hoosac, Pete has shown a keen interest in most school activities. His great energy and spirit make him an asset to any group he joins. His sports include soccer, hockey, and tennis. He does a fine job on those sports. His soccer playing earned him an honorable mention award in the Taconic Conference. “Champ” is vice-president of the Rifle Club as well as chief steward in charge of the dining room. Positions such as these require a person who can make decisions maturely, and Pete can certainly fill the bill. This very able student was awarded the Arista Cup in recognition of his school spirit, and we know that it is well-deserved. Although he is sometimes kidded about the color- ful stories of his female “conquests”, he is really respected for his sincerity and honesty. He is liked by all and he should find it quite easy to adjust to college life. Whatever his future endeavors are, he can be sure that we at Hoosac wish him the best of luck. Page 22

 Stephen Michael Grochowski 35 Smithfield Road North Smithfield, Rhode Island 1957 - 1960 Activities: Choir IV, V, VI; Dramatics Club IV, V, VI; Assistant Sports Editor of Owl Board V; Sports Editor of Owl VI; Athletic Council V, VI; Soccer IV, V, VI; Hockey (Co-Captain) V, VI; Baseball Manager V, VI. “Do you think it is going to freeze tonight”? When soccer season is over this question is frequently asked by Steve. He is one of our most rabid hockey players and also one of the best. He enjoys nothing more than a day of skating at the pond and he will work feverishly to keep it clear of snow. “Grouch” plays soccer quite well and spends most of his spare time at the field during the fall season. His fierce competitive spirit and his sense of just- ice merge to form a player worthy of recognition. Steve is a student who realizes the importance of an education. He places great emphasis upon studies and strives to maintain good grades. An able writer, Steve finds time to report for the Owlet. He also takes a keen interest in the Christmas produc- tion in which he has sung soloes. One could go on and on singing praises to this student, but it is sufficient to say that he has what it takes, and success should be his. Page 21
