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.

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

James Wallace Millar 18 Pokehoe Drive North Tarrytown, New York 10593 Possum . . . Rod Gilbert . . . The Rangers will win . . . next year ' . . . Nose . . . Not only am I a hard worker. I'm lovable too! . . . MEE Lar . . . You’ve got a slip! James has been fortunate enough to attend Hoosac for four colorful years, a phenomenon that focuses for us a quality typical of Jimmie; he believes that he can accomplish anything that he sets his little mind to; at least almost anything. Armed with this philosophy, Jim has become one of the most respected students on campus. Ace , as he was often called, showed exceptionally good athletic ability in hockey and soccor. He partici- pated in these sports hoping to attain the ultimate goal both in the game and in his life, which is to better himself in whatever he does. While on the ice, he could often hear people yell, Come on Millar, stand up. Appointed Prefect in his senior year, Jimmie had to enforce the rules of the school. This he managed to do with such integrity that he should be commended for a job well done. His arduous work and recognized achievements are a great credit to our school and will, we trust, enrich him in the future. 30
