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

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?” . . . Sunday afternoon football Ping Pong . . shades ... To Harvey, With Love . . The Civil Rights Award . . . Original Soulbrother i The ORIGINAL .... number 34 .... 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

Richard Roy McIntosh Bovina Center New York 13740 ......................” . . . Silence Is Golden . . . Barbara . . . Smokey The Bear . . . Bovina Center Ski Area . . . National Ski Patrol Hotdog . . . Brevity Is The Soul Of Wit Award . . . Run much???? Dick joined the ranks of Hoosac as a Post Graduate. We found him to be a quiet and serious young man, with a goal in life and the ambition to obtain it. Dick spends much of his time studying, even his free time. At first it was thought best that he visit the nurse for this unusual activity, but later we began to see that a desire to learn was part and parcel of Dick's serious- ness and desire to amount to something” in life. Dick proved himself an excellent skiier, due to the fact that he has spent years on his father’s slopes. As a Safety Patrolman, he spends hours of training, and only the best skiiers can qualify. Another of Dick's loves is running. He helped the Cross-Country team out, and in the process easily broke the course record. Unfortunately, Dick was sidelined this Spring by an injury to his left knee. He would have proved a valu- able Miler, as he did at his last school, where he con- tinuously ran the distance in the 4:30’s. He will have the knee operated on this summer, and will again run in college next year, where you can be sure he will shatter all existing records. Dick will attend Paul Smith's College of Forestry. Mac”, a thorough Thoreauvian, loves the out doors, and finds the woods a favorite spot. In fact, he will make a profession of forestry. We send Dick our fondest wishes, and we want him to know that Hoosac is the better for his short stay with us.
