Hoosac School - Owl Yearbook (Hoosick, NY)

FREDRICK FRANKLIN KEESLER Rick in his two years here has been a great help to Hoosac. He has fulfilled such duties as steward, dorm proctor, and setting an example to the student body as one of the prefects. Holding these jobs requires a lot of responsibility and hard work and Rick has shown that he has it in him. Most of the boys here call Rick Stubby be- cause of his incredible shortness, but in spite of this apparant handicap he packs a lot of punch on the sports field. He was one of the faster players on the forward line in soccer and one of the most agile members on the wrestling team in many a year. In baseball, his fine fielding and batting have won us quite a few games. Stubby is crazy about the Rolling Stones and does an excellent accompaniment for them with his tamborines. He also likes the Emma Willard dances, Philadelphia and sports. In the place where he reserves most of his hatred are for the Beatles and those poor little underformers. Rick plans to go on into college and then into his career as a basketball player(?).

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

JON GARTH MacDONALD Soccer V, VI; Wrestling VI, Hockey VI; Track V, VI; Riding Club VI, Yule Log Trenchard Bearer V, VI; H Club. Garth, as he is commonly called, came to Hoo- sac two years ago. Since his entrance, he has proven his athletic abilities to be excellent. He was one of the best players on the varsity soccer team and an active participant in wrestling and then ice hockey until he was laid up by a well placed puck in the eye. In both years of track, he was one of our main point scorers in the discus, shot-put, and javelin events. Mac , as he is also called, is a man of the world. He has just the right attitude about school, as he says, Hoosac, its all part of growing up. One of his favorite pastimes is breaking the school tractors. Some of his other favorite things are; girls, girls, girls, also wild parties. Lake George, drive-ins, the Town Inn and the Villa Capris, water skiing, Willie's gas station, '66 Chevels and G.T.O.'s, nurses and sports in general. All work and no play makes Garth a very dull boy, sums up his dislikes but he has other par- ticular pet peeves such as hockey pucks, waking up in the morning, homework and going to bed be- fore one o'clock. Garth is most noted for his bril- liance in Math and his knack for staying out of trouble. All of us students wish him the best of luck in the coming years. 25
