GEOFFREY HOGENSON PECK Soccer IV; Cross Country V, VI; Chess V, VI; Track IV, V, VI; Vestry V, VI; Rifle Club VI, Owlet V, Dramatics V, Yule Log Torchbearer and Page, Job Inspector. Jeff, our fine feathered friend, is one of Hoo- sac's most brilliant students. He can usually be found flying around the dorm or taking forty minute show- ers. Although Jeff hates the alarm clock, he usually gets up at six A.M. in time to turn it off and return to bed. Among other things that he detests are; snow in May, a loud radio, and math tests. One of his greatest dislikes here at Hoosac is Charlie's cats. When they wake him up at all hours of the night, Jeff says quite emphatically that he would like to boil them all in a pot of seething ear wax. Jeff, who lives in that great mid-west mafia city, Chicago, loves to sail, inspect and test old guns with his uncle, and read James Bond. He has also been a consistent member of the track team, running the mile, half mile and 440. Jeff is noted for writing long term papers and for being absolutely unaffected in tight and trying situations; he stays cool, calm, collected and icy blue. For the future, Jeff plans an attendence at the U. of Arizona to take pre-med courses. He wants to follow this up with a career as a psychiatrist. Jeff says he wants to be a head shrinker because he wonders why people are what they are. Jeff seeks a female bird of his own, small, fuzzy unkempt hair, especially on the chin, and dark black eyes. Actually, we don't know what we would do without Jeff. He is a conscientious student, a hard worker and a great asset to Hoosac School. 28

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

JOHN H. PHILLIPPI John came to Hoosac in the middle of his junior year. Even though he denies being studious, John maintains an excellent academic record. But this is an understatement when it comes to playing hockey. He is probably the most avid hockey fan and player in the school. He can always be found on the ice or, in warm weather, up in his room shoot- ing slap shots down the hall. John's idol is Vic Hadfield of the New York Rangers. Next year John is attending New England Col- lege in Henieker, New Hampshire. He is not sure what his life ambition will be, but he hopes to get into sports broadcasting or some job that will take him outdoors. Mainly he wants to be on the move. Besides hockey he enjoys skiing and has skiied on some of the best peaks in New York and Ver- mont. John loves motorcycles and he owns his own which becomes quite useful around Buffalo. John's perfect girl; slender, dark complexion and dark eyes, long brunette hair and good per- sonality. Will he find her? You bet he will! 29
