John Richard Olmsted 74 Paterson Street Providence, Rhode Island 1958 - 1960 Activities: Photographer for Owl V, VI; Managing Editor and Photography Editor for Owl VI; Basketball manager VI; Dra- matics Club V; Athletic Council V, VI. “Busy day!” “Busy day!” This is the dialogue from a T.V. commercial, and it could be a very appropriate motto for John. From the early morning hours un- til “lights out”, John is usually hurry- ing about in the service of the Owl. As managing editor he is always working to help keep things running smoothly. John is a “natural” for his position as photography editor. This has been his hobby for quite some time, and now he is able to put his talents to a very practical use. He can always be found at athletic events and other school func- tions. John has received many compli- ments for the quality of the photographs taken for the Owl and Owlet. John is a fine dresser whose neat ap- pearance displays his good taste in cloth- ing. In addition to this, his fine carriage and gentlemanly manner combine to form a very mature young man. John should go far in any field he chooses and we wish him the best of luck in the future. Page 27

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

Thomas Powell Fowler Palmer 139 East 79th. Street New York, New York 1958 -1960 Activities: Soccer V, VI; Tennis V, VI; Cap- tain tennis team VI; Dramatics V, VI; Cheer- leader VI; Athletic Council V, VI; Owl Board VI; Rifle Club VI. Tom Palmer and the title, “Mr. Per- sonality” are quite synonomus. Every student at Hoosac is familiar with the singer, actor, and story teller all com- bined in one. During time off, Tom’s light-hearted antics helps each student to laugh at his troubles. Athletics, however, are a different story. When Tom is on the soccer field, he changes into a very serious person. He is quite adept at this sport, and therefore, he is one of Hoosac’s most valuable full-backs. During winter, Tom has to content himself with studying, and bowling. In the spring, however, a fine tennis play- er emerges from this dormant state. With racket in hand, he faces all oppon- ents with a fierce competitive spirit. This sportsman-like fellow exhibits keen physical prowess whether on the field or the court. One can easily surmise, therefore, that Tom has quite a bit of talent to be proud of. Whatever his ambition in life may be, we wish him the best of luck. Page 28
