w AT A MOMENT, TO EXPOSE SONGS AT A TIME, TO EXPRESS THE INNER UNIVERSE AT A PLACE, WHERE WORDS ARE MUCH NEEDED. HOOSAC SCHOOL HOOSICK, NEW YORK 1974 OWL One begins the other. The other ends the one. The one starts slowly. The other ends rapidly. SIXTH FORM Got to keep on truckin' breeze trying to stiffle a sneeze? People walking with an inner beat down crowded city streets: yellow light-slow, green light-go, red light—stop. Try to learn the new bop, tried to find a job at the neighborhood store but the manager figured that I wasn't really poor. Back on the street later on that night feeling slick, looking sleek, like a fighter at his peak, a look of approval from tenants down your stairs fluffing afro hairs and doing reds in pairs, music reaches your ears as you touch concrete. It's a hit tune of your peers so you put a raincheck on the beat and start to shuffle your feet to get where you're to meet a nice female treat. Broken glass crushing into your new platform soles, you wince at the sound, a new dent in your soul. A couple of more reds to straighten out your head, you're about to leave and fly when you open just one eye and through the haze of reds and snow you just begin to know, you never even made it to the door. I have a house that is black like me, with its black walls, black floors, and ceilings and doors. It's a proud black house and as quiet as a mouse. I go to my closet, also black, and retrieve a black jacket to cover my back. I approach my black door, and I touch a black knob I open my door and exit from my house, relaxed and ready to go. I stand on.my porch, black wood beneath my feet I stand black and proud, but as my eyes look out, my pride turns to sorrow, cause the last thing I expected was, white snow. Ever try to walk to beat out the hawk? Or walk with the Alonzo Sidney Whitehead 4 This is the freedom life grants to every living thing; to each the pas- sion to grow, to de- velop alone, through one's own efforts, that all life shall flourish. Some will never reach their full potential, but the leaves of one will never be stripped and given to another; the roots will not be arrest- ed that another may grow, for wealth and the capacity for greatness cannot be absorbed they must come from within. 6 In a lot of yearbooks, people write a bunch of JUIMK. But I'm not going to, so time's a wastin' Bye Hoosac, don't forget to write. SCOTT MEADE STRASENBURGH 8 WILLIAM DAVID SLAYMAKER 10 HAROLD ERLEN OCHSTEIN Children of the future age reading this indignant page know that in a former time love sweet love was thought a crime. William Blake 13 14 The only way to solve questions of an idealogical nature or controversial issues among the people is by the democratic method, the method of discussion, or criticism, or persuasion and education, and not by the method of coercion or repression. Mao Tse Tung 15 B. BARTLETT MEARS I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago, and people who will see a world that I shall never know. For still there are so many things that I have never seen: in every wood in every spring there is a different green. But all the while I sit and think of times there were before, I listen for returning feet and voices at the door. J.R.R. Tolkein On a wonderful day in the night of our time, The beautiful birds tried to sing their song And even though the words couldn't rhyme, The song lasted all day long And blinding light pierced the dark. Our people squinted and closed their eyes They were not yet used to the light And yet a bird can tell no lies But can hint at truth and what is right For light is the source of all life. Good night you people, you take your rest. And look at red sun on shining sea. Now tell me, do you still think you're the best? It's 4:00 now, time for tea. Farewell you songbirds never gone! Maybe someday one will hear your song. 18 MARK DICKINSON HAVEN DANIEL PORTER HANNON The museum and the library took precedence over human experience! Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. 20 Still, I like your hamburgers. Good luck, people. LOUIS BUSCH HAGER, JR. Uncovering newness. Questions may not be directed. Madness creeps under the skin and into the mind. It is necessary that our eyes focus past and further beyond each perspective. feeling every sound the touch penetrates, feeling inside, feeling cycles rotate and walk the plank of future, feel the slow touch, seduce the impossible, submit to it. Merging with the universe the paths are endless. The fog is bright. The sun is thick The stars are endless and the universe; it is shining. JAN HADWEN It is dangerous to go out in this hellish world, but it is still more dangerous to hide in the bushes. JEFFERY KENNER GILCHRIEST MUSTAFA ADEM GIDEY 24 Looking back upon these years, Thinking about all those fears, I stop. I say to myself quite strong, This was the place I didn't belong- but what the hell, gumballs. SCOTT MacDONALD FRAME BENJAMIN PIERSON FORD IV He's a blockhead who wants a proof of what he can't perceive, and he's a fool who tries to make such a blockhead believe.

I think I can stand; I know I must try to find the reason why. It's your world if you want it. Don't throw it away. Stand up now for what you think is right. The system's not too old or strong to fight. Democracy's for you, and they are afraid of your power to make a new day.

JV SOCCER JV or not JV; that was the question, Whether 'twas nobler, in the mind, to play Under this lesser title, or not to play at all. Not all good men can make Varsity- In fact more promise lies beneath the top. So forward strived we all, and tied the league In a three way knot.

BALLAD ON INTRAMURAL SOCCER School time here at Hoosac Got those hit them books blues Classes dragging on, lasting half the day, Keep thoughts from going astray. Ah, classes are through, no more delay Nothing left to stop you now Nothing to bar the way Head for the dorm, undressing as you go Reach your room, don your soccer clothes. Now you're on the field All eighteen of you, eighteen strong Rough looking, competitive, restless Just raring to get it on. Group split in half by leader Dechame, The game gets under way Dave in one goal, Billy in the other, Harold kicks to Peewee who passes in turn To Alonzo, up ahead on the run. Games goes on, points are scored Now everyone's tired, some bored At the end we rejoice with a win And head for the dorm. But we'll be back again And once more again compete Til we're worn out and beat But it's all part of being a team. 68 A.S.W.
