JOHN WILLIAM O'NEILL Soccer V, VI; Track V, VI; Steward V; Class Presi- dent IV, V, H Club; Yule Log Beefeater. John, our wild Irish rose, is a fantastic story teller; he truly posses the gift of gab by holding his audience in a trance with stories of Aldo's, Scottie's and certain secretaries. Next year, in the fall, John plans to attend the Dade College Campus at Miami, Florida. He wants to get his diploma from Dade and go to a flying school. He loves flying and wants to make it his career. His father flys for Eastern Airlines which gives John plenty of opportunity to gain valuable experience as a pilot. Among his pet peeves is Sargent's guitar play- ing and soccer practice. If someone dares to wake him up when he is sleeping one can usually hear his harsh reprimand echo through the corridor of upper Tibbits. In history class he usually emits a fonda la quatz or two which is his favorite saying. John has excelled in all fields in the three years he has been here. In the fall, one can see John running around in the soccer games, playing hard and with great agility to win for us time and time again. In the winter he keeps himself in shape for the coming track season by lifting weights. When the track season finally rolls around, John is in the best of condition and filled with spirit. There is no doubt that he is an all-around athlete. He has won the track trophy for the seven events he usually participates in. 26

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

CHARLES FRANCIS PARK Soccer VI, Hockey VI, Tennis VI, Student Council VI, H Club, Riding Club VI, Choir VI, Yule Log Waite and solo VI. Chuck came here this year as a senior and has done quite a good job in both academics and sports. He was one of the best math students the school has ever known and was frequently on the Honor roll. One of his favorite sports, tennis, takes up a good bit of his time at home. Other times at home. Chuck is out bowhunting in the woods of New Jersey for anything that he can shoot. Although Chuck likes most things, he has an emphatic dislike for peg legs, Phillippi's playmates, bullies, term papers, tomato aspic, job period, and last but not least, his room. Even the slightest re- membrance of his room in the winter mornings with everything, including him, frozen solid to the floor, sends shivers up Chuck's spine. The things that he does like are girls, folk songs, cycles, cars, pizzas, cards, snoozing, and sports in general. The school will miss Chuck and Chuck will miss the school, but on the brighter side are his plans to go to Europe and Scandanavia this summer and then on to Muskingum College as a major in Elec- trical engineering. 27
