Timothy Hamilton Parsons 61 Watchung Avenue Montclair, New Jersey 1958 - 1960 Activities: Secretary-Treasurer of Rifle Club V, VI; Tennis V, VI; Baseball V, VI; Soc- cer V, VI; Choir V, VI; Basketball V, VI; Bowling Club V, VI. Tim is a likeable student, who knows what is expected of him, and who acts accordingly. He exhibits a gentlemanly attitude and an effort to do his best. These qualities combine to form a char- acter who is a definite asset to the school. He enjoys his studies best, but like most students, he has a great interest in athletics. Tim plays a good game of soccer and basketball. During the past years, he has improved in these two games by leaps and bounds. By his hard work he secured a varsity position on each of the teams. His perseverance has set an example that can well be follow- ed by the underclassmen. Students rarely forget their “alma mater”. We are sure that Tim won’t forget Hoosac. We won’t forget him.

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

 Russel Potter Reeder III Quarters 3 West Point, New York 1956 - 1960 Activities: Soccer III, IV, V; J.V. Soccer coach VI; J.V. Basketball III, IV; Hockey V, VI; Baseball III, IV, V, Capt. VI; Choir III, IV, V, VI; Rifle Club III, IV, V, VI; Treasurer of Senior class VI. Russ is one of our most active stu- dents. He always seems to be engaged in some school function that requires a vast amount of energy. Russ is usually one of the leaders of the pep rallies, and he is usually plagued with hoarseness for days after. This shows his great spirit, which helps him succeed in ath- letics. He did a fine job as the assistant coach in soccer, and he devoted many hours each day to teach and drill the Jay-vee players. Seeing that he is a fine soccer player, Russ was quite cap- able of teaching the new-comers the ins and outs of soccer. When soccer season ends, Russ pa- tiently awaits the opening of the hockey season. When that day comes, he bun- dles up and joins the rest of the team as they strengthen their ankles for skat- ing. With his fine competive spirit and regard for others, Russell enters the world well-prepared. Whatever his en- deavors may be, we know that Russ will be a success. Page 30
