Hoosac School V 1984 HOOSAC OWL Dedication We, the 1984 Senior Class of Hoosac School, dedicate this Yearbook to two individuals, whose hard work and incentive has kept us on our toes, and made it a great year... Here's to Mr. Taylor — A man who deserves much credit for the work he has put into Hoosac School to make it a better place. Whether it’s Science Hikes, Basketball Games, or Discipline Problems, Mr. Taylor has always been fair and given it his all. And here's to Mrs. Bugbee-Harriss — A lady as tough as nails, but she always comes through in a jam. Her unfailing pa- tience and sense of humor has steered us through many stormy waters. She’s been there when we needed her, and we thank her for her time and energy. 3 Pamela Quirinale Art Teacher, Exhibits, Yearbook Ad- visor, Evaluation Presentation. “An artist speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives: to our sense of pity, and beauty and pain. — Joseph Conrad Pat Mullen Nurse, Human Awareness Teacher, Assistant Director of Yule Log, Special Events Coordinator, Softball. “A little word of kindness spoken, a motion or a tear, Has often healed the heart that’s broken, And made a friend sincere. — John Greenleaf Whittier Clinton Dugger Chapel Services, Tuck Shop, Bleeze Banquet, Ethics Teacher. “God is for real, man. t Doug Merrill Computer and Physics Teacher, Outdoor Program. “When you open your life to the living, All things come spilling in on you.

Good Wishes from Father and Mrs. Dugger! 25 December • December • December • December • December • December • December • December Yule Log ‘83 For some it was their first Yule Log; for others it was their second or third. But, for all of the Seniors, it was their last. It was our last chance; our last chance for parts we wanted, but never had; our last chance to join in the tradition that was a major part of Hoosac's history. The Singing, Costumes, Make-up, Rehearsals, and the irritations were all part of the scene. There is a togetherness and a sharing that is part of Yule Log. All of the pettiness, shallowness and even unfairness that is part of a school year, somehow fades with the strains of the Boars Head”... 26 December • December • December • December • December • December • December • December THE NINETY-FIRST BOAR S HEAD AND YULE LOG CELEBRATION 27 January «January • January «January • January «January • January «January • January Winter Times at Hoosac With the coming of the new year many new faces appeared along with new programs; such as the Fri- day ski program at a nearby Vermont mountain. Although we all took lessons, many of us still fell down. Also in January we got our first and last snow day, and we all got together and built snow castles. Late in the month, under a full moon, the entire school worshipped the Senior class with a huge ban- quet — The Bleeze Banquet — which also symbo- lized the end of the Jester’s Reign.

This is probably why the team did so well this year; they won three games and made it to the play-offs against Darrow High School. While the boys were dribbling some of the other students were letting out their aggressions by aerobic dancing. Every afternoon the students gathered in the Dining Hall with Beverly White and “got physical.” 37 April April April April April April April April April April April STUDENT ADDRESSES: Bryan Adams, Lambert Common, Wesport Road, Wilton, CT06987 Alden Anderson, Willett Road, Saunderstown, R102874 Sean Brookins, P.O.
