Steve Goos, Edward ii Chambers Road Danbury, Connecticut 06810 Goos, TELEPHONE!!” . . . Cathy , . , blinking signs . . , If you ever get out to Danbury . . . . Fresh Cream . , . Best Salad Eater Award . . . Pass the milk, please. Pass the meat, please. Pass the potatoes, please, . . . Coming from a private school similar to Hoosac, Steve felt at home amidst his fellow Seniors. In his first few months here, Goose had swiftly become a well-known figure on campus. His many attributes in- clude being highest scorer on the J.V. Soccor team, and most important his participation on the Ski Team, ski- ing both Alpine and Cross-Country. How can any of us ever forget the many impor- tant” phone calls that Steve was prone to receiving between 9:00 and 11:00 every night? The cry Goose, Kathy’s on the phone!” has become incorporated into the Hoosac language. When not studying(?) or using his record player, Steve could be found partaking in one of his many other favorite pastimes; either painting phychedelic designs on glass, borrowing” the dorm’s floodlights, or beating up anyone in the dorm willing to go a few rounds. We have all grown increasingly fond of Steve, and our best wishes follow him, where ever he travels after departing from Hoosac’s gates. We also wish him luck in paying for all those phone bills to You-Know-Who! 19

Clive Willard Bridgham 58 New Meadow Road Barrington, Rhode Island 02806 Snake . . . Saddie, where are you, Saddle?” . . . Joe Chemistry . . . But Mr. Hamilton, it's not completely destroyed! . . . Ski Weekends . . . Mt. Snow . . . In my Freshman year, I remember . . Emma Willard Clive is a veteran, having been at Hoosac for four years. Clive’s father, Dr. Bridgham, also graduated from these hallowed halls in '24. When Clive entered in the fall of '63, Hoosac viewed a studious little character with big glasses and an extremely soft voice. The soft voice is now gone but the studiousness re- mains. Clive is one of the proctors in Wood Hall where his wavy blond hair, cackle and ramshackle room have be- come trademarks. He earned the name Snake” through his habit of staying up into the wee small hours of the morning to study and fool around with his technical equipment. Another love of Clive’s is any form of science in which he plans to major in college. Hoosac’s Flower Child” is an avid skiier. He was a tremendous help to the ski team this year, even though the season was short and the meets limited. Clive ran on the Cross-Country team in the Fall. Un- fortunately, the season so tired him that he decided against going out for Track this Spring. One sees him running around on the Spring Soccor field instead. Clive enjoys sleeping through breakfast and taking as many ski weekends” as possible. He dislikes clean- ing up after the monkeys, and Sunday morning Chapel. Clive hopes to be a doctor after his graduation from Syracuse. We hope that the years he spent at Hoosac will have prepared Clive amply for college. We at Hoosac will always remember Clive for the fine person that he is and all that he has contributed to our school. 18

Although he has been at Hoosac only for his senior year, Jon Grannis has found ample time to assert a volatile personality, quick to make the best of any sit- uation. Jon has a unique sense of humor which he can even use to cheer up the breakfast table, if his cheerful attire has not already done so. In spite of a curriculum of five courses, three of Hoosac's toughest, Jon has still found time to visit rel- atives in New York City where he managed to keep abreast of the theatrical season. Last summer Jon joined Operation Head Start as a volunteer worker with little children. Jon’s sports here at Hoosac included soccer, skiing and track. With his roommate, Bill Hurst, he made sure that there was never a dull moment during Pitt Mason’s first functioning year. Jon hails from Lake Bluff, 111. and wants to attend Colorado State Univer- sity. We wish him all the best.
