                                                          A   three  year  veteran  of  Moses  Brown's  renowned  German  De­
                                                        partment,  Bob  is  a  member  of  the  H.P.  Fan  Club.  In  a  never-end­
                                                        ing  quest  to  further  his  campaign  for  this  illustrious  gentleman,
                                                        "Hurl"  spends  winter  afternoons  playing  "Eis-Hockie".  But  Bob's
                                                        talents  also  extend  to  the  football  field  during  the  fall,  and  he  al­
                                                        ways  believes  in  leaving  something  behind  for  the  fans  to  remem­
                                                        ber him  by. The Pomfret fans have the greatest souvenir— his pants.
                                                        Hurl's  academic  talents  are  most  noteworthy  in  Senior  History,  as
                                                        he  holds  the  school  record  for  guessing  the  title  of  twelve  history
                                                        essays  in  succession.  All  through  school,  however,  Bob  has  waited
                                                        for that  final  time  after  the  long  term  ends,  when  he  will  hop  into
                                                        the  "tank"  and  make  that  final  ride  on  the  trail  from  M.B.  to  the
                                                        Ponderosa.

                                                        Cross  Country,  V,  VI;  Flying  Club,  V,  VI;  Glee  Club,  V,  VI;  Winter  Track,
                                                        Letter, V, VI; Spring Track,  Letter, V,  VI.

                                                          John  Hyland,  who  was  almost  refused  admission  as  a  junior,  has
                                                        proved  himself  to  be  a  valuable  member  of  the  class.  After  re­
                                                        maining  in  the  shadows  last  fall,  he  emerged  in  the  Winter  Track
                                                        season  as  a  star  hurdler,  high  jumper,  and  sprinter,  and  was  the
                                                        team's  second  highest  scorer  for  the  season.  John,  with  his  fierce
                                                        competitive  spirit,  is  less  than  happy  running  behind  classmate
                                                        Pete  Lacaillade,  who  is  one  of  the  few  prep  hurdlers  better  than
                                                        John. Generally John  is  hard  working  and  liked  by all,  and  a  boy of
                                                        all  around  good  character.  Incidentally,  he  spends  his  summers  at
                                                        Block  Island,  where  he  first  met  the  agent  from  D .O .C.  He  finally
                                                        emerged  as  a  scholar  this  fall,  when  his  class  rank  jumped  to  nine,
                                                        and  he  made  honors,  a  testimonial  to  what  hard  work  can  do.

                                                        Class  President,  VI;  Cross  Country,  Letter,  VI;  Dance  Committee,  President,
                                                        VI;  French  Club,  Executive  Committee,  VI;  Glee  Club,  Librarian;  SAC  Vice
                                                        President,  VI;  Winter  Track,  Letter,  VI;  Spring  Track,  Letter,  VI.
                                                          Never doubt anyone who says that  Pete  Lacaillade  is fast. Aside
                                                        from  breaking  school  records,  often  his  own,  in  almost  every  track
                                                        event  in  which  he  competed— not  to  mention  several  state  rec­
                                                        ords    Lac    distinguished  himself  by  winning  the  Senior  Class
                                                        Presidency.  His  great  concern  for  the  class  welfare  drove  him
                                                        great  distances  in  order  to  secure  a  band  of  renown  for  a  prom
                                                        that  will  long  be  remembered  by  all  as  a  "real  good  show."  In
                                                        order  to  finance  this  gala  event,  Lac  went  to  the  extreme  of
                                                        modeling  a  daring  piece  of  apparel  in  front  of  the  entire  student
                                                        body.  Such  conscientiousness  is  rarely  found,  and  whatever  Pete
                                                        decides  to  do  in  the  future  will  be  a  success.  After  all,  he  does
                                                        everything efficiently  . . .   and fast.
