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.

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

 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.

He maintained an Honor Roll average throughout his four years at T-P and always ranked at the top of his class.

Especially outstanding in the study of chemistry, Falbs was in the Advanced Placement section. Ron played Varsity football and worked doggedly for two years on the wrestling team. On the wrestling mat Falbs was especially noted for his animalistic manner of psyching out his opponent. Falbs” was also an excellent prefect. He could be seen any day giving a guiding hand to new boys with his infamous ugly stick”. He won the respect of the seniors on his hall early in the year, truly a difficult task for a prefect.
