 Les” LESTER DUBOIS CATHARINE 1964 1353 Park Lane Pelham Manor, New York Football, J.V. 1, Manager 2; Cross-Country, Varsity, Manager 3, 4; Hockey, Third 1, ].V. 2; Squash, J.V. 3, 4; Track, Manager 1; Lacrosse, J.V. 2, 3, Varsity 4; Glee Club 2, 3; Science Club 1, 2, 3; 4; Rifle Club 1, 2; Ski Club 3, 4; Mail Man 4. Les is one of the famous originals of the class of '68, coming to us from Pelham, New York. In a crowd Les always stood out—if not for his great height, then for his stylish manner of dress. During his stay at T-P Les became a familiar sight around campus, and especially in the phone booth in the basement of Cluett. On the lacrosse field in the spring Les' tall frame could be seen popping goals in from his attack position for the Fighting Gentlemen”. On certain afternoons Lester, with a broad smile, could be seen demonstrating his pugilistic style to underclassmen. Les was an avid member of the Science Club throughout his four years. Les also is a card carrying longshoreman-and probably the only one the class of ’68 will ever boast-as he spent his summers in the rather lucrative tugboat business in New York Harbor. Although Les never considered studying to be one of his favorite pastimes, he studied diligently enough to maintain a respectable average. His smiling countenance and glib comments will be missed at T-P, and the class of '68 wishes him continued success in the future. ROGER BRUCE DEMMENT Demon 1964 1630 Tibbits Avenue Troy, New York Football, Third 1, Varsity 2, 3, 4; Hockey, Varsity 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball, Varsity 1, 2, 3, 4; Science Club 1, 2, 3; Rifle Club 1; Press Club 2, 3; T-P Times, Editor 4; Honor Roll 1, 2, 3, 4; Dance Committee 3; School Store Manager 3, 4; Varsity T Club 3, President 4; Student Council 4; Prefect 4. Roger, a four year man from Troy, is certainly one of the best-liked members of the senior class. He is also one of the hardest working members of the class, who always gave of himself both to his class and the school. Roger was appointed to be one of the nine prefects during his senior year, and he handled his job maturely and diligently. He maintained an Honor Roll average throughout his four years at T-P and always ranked at the top of his class. This past fall Roger did a fine job of quarterbacking the football team to its best record in recent years. For four years he was also an outstanding player on the Varsity hockey team. During the spring term he played Varsity baseball. In his senior year, Roger was elected President of the Varsity T” Club, a fitting honor for a deserving athlete. In addition to all this, Roger was the able Editor of the T-P Times and comanager of the school store—both positions of great responsibility. Roger's varied talents, amiable personality and the fine leadership have made him a person who will not soon be forgotten at T-P. 22

Chris was probably one of the most outspoken members of his Class. He was well known for his individualistic attitude toward certain aspects of T-P life; and because he was not hesitant about expressing his opinions, he was respected by his classmates. Chris was an excellent athlete. He performed well in Varsity cross country, Varsity wrestling, and Varsity track in both his junior and senior years. Chris was also a good student who had considerable intellectual curiosity. He was almost distinguished, however, for his artistic ability, and his distinctive work was always included in the school’s art exhibits. He had a caustic wit, which earned him the privilege of tackling the Country Cousin” in the T-P Times. His nimble mind and glib tongue made him one of the more prominent members of the debating team. Chris also worked hard on the Trinitannus, contributing his keen mind to the Class History and to the senior sketches. During his four years at T-P, Chris has contributed greatly and has made many friends. He will be missed by his class and will surely be a success in the future. TODD THORNTON WHITNEY BRUNER T.T.W.B. 1964 8 Loudon Heights Albany 11, New York Football, Third 1, J.V. 2, 3, Varsity, Manager 4; Swimming, J.V., Captain 2, Varsity 1, 3, 4; Track, J.V. 1, 2; Tennis, Varsity Manager 3, 4; Acolytes’ Guild 1, 2, 3, 4; Choir 2, 3; Trinitons 3; Debating Society 1, 2, 3, Vice-President 4; Press Club, Vice-President 2, President 3, 4; Honor Roll 1; School Store, Manager 3, 4; Student Council Secretary 4; Prefect 4. Todd, a four year man, was by far the most active member of the senior class. In addition to being a prefect, Todd spent much of his time participating in and running innumerable extra-curricular activities. His most time-consuming job was running the school store, which very often caused Him much involvement with Mr. Dann. Nevertheless, Todd always managed to overcome these transient adversities and put everything into working order once more. He was also active in sports, being a top ranking swimmer on the Varsity team. On top of all of this seemingly frenetic activity, T.T.W.B. also had the monumental job, along with Harrington, of supervising and controlling the freshmen on the second floor south. Despite the restlessness and flippancy of the majority of freshmen, Todd managed to gain their respect and had no great difficulty keeping them in order. Todd’s seriousness of purpose and pleasing personality, along with his sublte sense of humor, should make him respected and liked wherever he goes. 21

 Dinks” DEREK VANDEGAER DINKLER 1963 Palm Bay Club Miami, Florida Football, Third 1, f.V. 2, 2; Wrestling, Varsity 1, 2, 4; Squash, J.V. 3; Tennis, f.V. 1; Lacrosse, f.V. 2, 3; Golf, 4; Debating Society 3, 4; Trinitannus, Business Manager 4; Dance Committee 3, Chairman 4; Gulp Gallop 3, Manger 4. Derek joined the senior class after he was involved in a serious motorcycle accident during his junior year. Even though he was hampered by his injuries, Derek displayed courage by wrestling for the Varsity team. He was also a prominent member of the Varsity lacrosse team. For many reasons Dinks was one of the best known seniors on the campus. His sense of humor and deep Southern drawl often captivated many of his classmates, causing much laughter and enjoyment for all. In his senior year Derek was the dining room monitor, and he did an excellent job of starting the post-breakfast track meets for M.E.D. Derek was also kept busy with his work in the Debating Society and he was one of the Business Managers of the Trinitannus. As a longstanding member of the Dance Committee, Derek was probably involved with more dances than anyone else, and his experience and talents for organization contributed a great deal to their success. Derek's distinctive personality did much to relieve the boredom of prep school life. With his many talents and abilities, Derek made an indelible impression on the class of '68. LAWRENCE CHARLES EATON Bronc 1964 30 Ridge Road Ridgewood, New Jersey Football, Third 1, Varsity 2, 3, 4; Basketball. Third 1, f.V. 2, Varsity 3, 4; Baseball. Varsity 1, 2, 3, 4; Acolytes’ Guild 4; Science Club 1, 2, 3; T-P Times, Business Manager 4; Varsity T” Club 4. Larry is held in high esteem by the faculty and has been extremely well liked as a comrade by his classmates since he arrived at T-P four long years ago. With Larry’s display of pass catching ability on the third team in his freshman year, it was obvious that he would achieve the success that he did during the next three years on Varsity football. Larry also has been a mainstay on all levels of Trinity-Pawling basketball. In addition, his lethal right arm has been highly respected on the baseball team since his freshman year. Larry has led an exemplary life at T-P and has established a fine image as a good-natured person in the process. Truly Trinity-Pawling, and the world for that matter, would be a more enjoyable place to live in with more people of Larry’s character and personality. 23
