JONATHAN LEE EMERSON Cross Country V, VI; Hockey V, VI; Tennis V, VI; H Club; Dorm Proctor,- Class Vice President; Choir V, VI; Yule Log,- Job inspector; Social Committee President; Dramatics V. Emy came to Hoosac as a fifth former. Since that time, he has had lots of fun and many good memories, especially of the winter carnivals and those many fine weekends. Jon has played an important role in the activities of the school. He has had a helping hand in plan- ning our dances for the past two years and became president of the committee this year. Also he has taken the tasks of being dorm proctor and job in- specter. In sports he has helped to win many of the cross country, hockey, and tennis meets. Most of the boys here will remember Jon for his record driving time from Schenectady to New York in one hour and forty five minutes, his beauti- ful burns, his magnificent sunken chest, his jealosy, and his ring dat don't fit . Of course, his most out- standing distinction of being the school's only fire warden, Bowlegged ! Among Jon's favorite things are horrey shows, Luckies, bull dogs, and bennies, and Hoggin. The things that he has the most dislike for are calls after eight from Barb and brick walls. After Hoosac, Emy will go into college and then into a teaching career. 21

THOMAS HAYNES COCHRAN Cross Country V, VI; Wrestling V, VI; Baseball V, VI; Vestry V, VI; Class Vice President VI; H Club V, VI; Dramatics VI; Yule Log Dragon and Giant, Beefeater VI. Tom Coch , is a special type of guy, quiet and considerate and six foot four. Nothing bothers him except Staff Sgt. Barry Saddler, Standing Rock Res- ervation out in North Dakota, navels, enthusiasm and class parties. Tom is noted for his words; charming and dash- ing one moment, quiet and sophisticated the next. He is totally unpredictable. He hates noise, yet he loves the Cafe Wha?, the biggest and swinginest in Greenicf Village. Tom loves folk music and blues and garlic bread and obhors idiots who bust in on him when he's working. In the future Tom wants to go in for either writing or teaching. Tom struts above the crowd as an individual. He said once I just like to observe you guys , and that's exactly what Tom likes to do, just be the observer of life around him. In the near future Tom will be able to observe a totally different type of people than those of Northampton; he will be among the wonderful Indians and the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota. He is moving there this summer. The perfect girl Tom seeks is brunette, petite and very stupid. He says he can't handle the intel- lectual girls, they're too confusing. Will he find his girl at Standing Rock? 20

JOHN W. FERGUSON Soccer VI, Ice Hockey VI, Baseball VI, Varsity letter, Boarsman, Yule Log VI. Since John has been here he has been a great asset to Hoosac, especially in sports. The soccer season saw him playing center and contributing much to a great record, even though it was his first crack at the game. John's favorite sports are football and baseball. Physical fitness, he says, plays the greatest role in his life. He usually can be found doing his regular half million push-ups before turning in at night. John's main interest after he graduates is to go into business administration. Since his father is the Vice President of the Lavino Shipping Company in Philadelphia, he has been able to obtain jobs that have aided him greatly towards his goals. All he wants to do now is to graduate from college, get a job, open a business in Australia (the taxes are lower there) and marry Dale. John knows what he wants and rarely gripes about anything except sometimes the good food which could add weight to his physical fitness pro- gram. 22
