Harvey Thompson Lee 85 Joseph Street Newark, New Jersey 07105 King Lee” ... I will overcome Hey Whit, come here Spiderman . . . Hey Lee, what happened to your finger?” . . .

KING LEE”, imitated, but never duplicated. Harvey has con- tributed much to Hoosac in the two years that he reigned here. Many agreed that he was all washed up,” anyway. He first roomed in Wood Hall as a Junior, and this year proctored Tibbits Hall where he gained respect and popularity with the younger hoys under his care. Sort of a takeoff on To Sir, With Love” .... Harvey's athletic talents are many. He ran on the Varsity Track and Cross-Country teams, and wrestled (often with Coach Dickie) during the winter. He will probably be remembered long after for his amazing prowess displayed during the Sunday afternon Foot- ball Championships . Here he earned the name Touchdown Lee . He made the majority of his touch- downs when it started getting dark, we might add. . . . Harvey's good judgment and maturity beyond his years often showed through his Prefectship. There was always the humor, always the laugh, but deep inside the hard worker and the authority needed to straighten out many a touchy situation. We owe this boy more than we can repay, all of us, and it would do many of us good to try and follow in the footsteps of The King , who gave so much to Hoosac. Good luck, Harvey. We know that Bowdoin will be the better for having accepted you into their Freshman Class. 27

Stein took lessons from Me!” . . . ''Yea, sure . . Standing In The Shadows Of Love . . . Larry has spent two years in the smoking pit here at Hoosac School. One of his lesser pastimes is the bor- rowing” of a butt. This habit did not hamper his sports ability any, as he abstained all Fall, when he occupied his time on the soccer team, in the winter skiing, and track in the spring. These events earned him many a varsity letter. Haircuts, excessive chapel and getting up in the morning were among his occasional dislikes. He says that nothing at Hoosac can replace girl-watching on Woodward Ave. in Detroit. Who can blame him? Still we're glad he has a grandfather in Troy, so that he’ll come out often to see us. Studying is something that Larry can do without, but by accident he discovered that if you employ your spare time to just the thought of it, you can keep out of a tremendous amount of trouble. No matter what his likes and dislikes were, everyone on campus sought a warm friendship with Larry, and will do so wher- ever he goes or what he does in life. 26

Robert Bruce MacRury 188 Cody Street Manchester, New Hampshire 03103 BADONG1E . . . The Hooter Award . . . Nancy Sinatra . . . Skid . . . Will you please shut up?? . . . HI Lamie . . J. and B. scotch . . . Virginia . . . Weekends to Washington . . . What a DINK!! Every graduating student is remembered by one of his foremost experiences, Bruce is no exception. He will always be remembered for gouging his eyes out in the role of Oedipus in the Greek play Oedipus Rex. He protrayed the part as if it were made originally for him ... an eye-catching performance! When Bruce arrived on campus, he immediately pro- ceeded to brighten our lives with a few MacRury jokes. It was always possible to tell what kind of mood Brucie was in, for his face was a playground of ex- pressions. When a smile was absent from his face, which was almost never, it was better to be on guard. Yet he was always an understanding person who gained the respect of the majority of his peers. Bruce plans to go into commercial flying after grad- uating from college. Hoosac and Bruce have come far in the past two years. We wish him happiness and the very best of luck. 28
