John Charles Hewitt Maddux R.D. 2 Downingtown, Pennsylvania 1956 - 1960 Activities: Choir III, IV, V, VI; Dramatics V; Soccer V, VI; Captain of J.V. Basket- ball team IV, V; Tennis V, VI; Senior Pre- fect VI; President of Student Council VI; Athletic Council VI. John, our senior prefect, is the epi- tome of conscientiousness. Observing John, one would easily recognize fine qualities of leadership, and see that he realizes the purpose of an education. By this it can be seen that he is worthy of praise. This impeccably dressed senior has given the underformers a standard by which they can pattern themselves. As prefect, John has instilled a greater feel- ing of responsibility within the student body. Besides his duties as prefect he manages to maintain a good average in his courses. Being a well-rounded student, he has a keen interest in athletics. In addition to basketball, he plays a good game of soccer. Soccer, his favorite sport, con- sumes a great deal of his time, but it is quite evident that he feels it is worth it. John aspires to be a doctor some- day. He is definitely college material, and we are sure that he will make it. We wish John the best of luck in all that he endeavors. Page 2S

Walter Acel Lapham 10 Monument Avenue Old Bennington, Vermont 1958 -1960 Activities: J.V. Basketball V; Manager of Owl Board VI; Dramatics V; Rifle Club VI; Bowling Club VI. One cannot mention Walt without thinking of a jovial day student driving a green sports car up and down the road. This can carry a very business-like fellow. As business manager for the Owl, Walt is most efficient. He also finds time to maintain fine honor marks. Walt likes to attend sports car rallies, and with a little coaxing he will speak freely on this subject. Walt is an avid Graftonian and he is always ready to defend the title. This is especially true when the Antonians win. It is easy to see that Walt is a like- able 'person. His winning smilq, and grand personality illustrate this. His motto might be, “Consideration for others.” Walter will go out of his way to help a friend. With these qualities and his fine character, we are sure that he will make the grade he wishes to attain. We wish Walt the best of luck in all his endeavors. Page 24

David Peter Moriarta 150 Phila Street Saratoga Springs, New York 1959 - 1960 Activities: Rifle Club VI; Choir VI; Basket- ball VI; Baseball VI; Owl Board VI; Tennis VI; Hockey VI. Dave, a native of Saratoga, joined us at Hoosac for a post-graduate course. At once he became one of our most like- able students. On free days, he can usually be found at Burton’s where he is surrounded by staring students. They are astounded by his ability to drink Saratoga Vichy water without flinching. He will read- ily explain to anyone the many bene- fits obtained from this drink. It is quite evident that “Mort” en- joys sports. He spends a good deal of his time playing basketball, and tennis. His great love, however is baseball. Dave’s fine pitching arm makes him a definite asset to the team. When at home, Dave spends a good deal of his time riding horses. He owns a horse and this probably accounts for his profes- sional knowledge on the subject. Wheth- er playing sports or just talking, Dave exhibits a fine spirit and a genuine per- sonality. These qualities should help him to attain any goal he seeks. Page 26
