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

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

JOHN ALBIN HANSON III Cross Country V, VI; Wrestling Manager VI; Baseball V, VI; Store Committee V, VI; Acolyte V; Vestry V, Chairman of Vestry VI; Social Committee V, VI; Proctor VI; President of Senior Class VI; President of Student Council VI, Yule Log V, VI; H Club V, VI; Rifle Club VI. John, our senior class president has been very active in the political and religious life of Hoosac. Late this year he moved from Upper Saddle River, New Jersey to Lutherville, Maryland, which appar- ently left him dishearted since he could no longer make any more excursions over (to) the Rainbow where the blue birds fly. John plans to go to Catonsville College in Maryland and wants to make a career in physical education. He has been our star pitcher for two years, winning almost every game. John loves to travel and someday he hopes to go to Europe. When he travels; the only way to go is to hitchike. But he doesn't always want to be a traveler because he's looking around for long hair, a good sense of humor and a confusing per- sonality (a girl that is). I'll be either the first or the last to get married from the graduating class of Hoosac, says John somewhat unemphatically. All in all, John can always be found smiling, but when it comes to lousy dances and phone bills, the smile turns to hysterical laughter. 23
