Et il est arrive un jour qu'un Franpais est arrive a Moses Brown
pour faire plaisir a M. Whitford. II s'appellait Daniel Smets, ou
plutot Dan, et avant la fin de son sejour il s'est fait beaucoup
d'amis, la plus appreciee etant probablement Rickie, ou est-ce
Lee? Dan, noire cinquieme eleve d'echange frangais, est venu de
Menton, sur la Cote d'Azur. II s'est distingue surtout en maths et
histoire, et il a fait partie de nos equipes de tennis et de la lutte.
Dan nous a dit qu'il aime assez bien notre chere ecole, mais
puisqu'il ne pouvait pas conduire, il ne s'est pas amuse autant que
possible, Un vrai playboy franpais, Dan nous a toujours etonne
aux concours d'athletisme en attirant des groupes de filles incon-
nues, mais malheureusement sans son dictionnaire, il avait peine a
se faire comprendre. Bien qu'il ne soit reste chez nous qu'un an, on
lui souhaite bon voyage, et on espere qu'il reviendra nous voir
bientot . . . sans fard.

If Moses Brown ever had a johnny-on-the-spot mechanic it is
indubitably Paul. In his four year stint with the class of 1967, Paul
has earned quite an automotive reputation; one which had its
beginning when Paul appeared on the M.B. campus with a 1947
Lincoln V-12 which he bought for a handful of cash and later
restored miraculously to running condition. Paul has also earned
a name for himself as a hard worker on the athletic fields where he
has been filling varsity berths in soccer and lacrosse for two sea
sons. Less known, however, are Paul's talents in the afternoon chess
league in the boy's lounge, as well as his efforts in the Oceano
graphy club, in which he secured membership when he switched
from basketball to swimming in his senior year. Paul will always
be remembered as one of the class's sincere, dedicated workers
in whatever he undertook. With such abilities, he should travel
far in the future.

Lindsay liked it so much at Moses Brown last year that he be
came one of a select few who just couldn't resist coming back for
seconds. As a boarder, he was suspected of sneaking off to a
nearby Lemon grove on Friday nights; but not even the Gardener's
expert discovery could keep him from getting his drums to the
Venus de Milo for those wild one-nighters with a certain rock-n-roll
band. It is bruited about that Lindsay suffered from ill health
because of his frequent restrictions on "doctor's orders." Dis
abled as he is, Lindsay now can be found spending many of his
afternoons and most of his study periods madly spinning the studio
potter's wheel— hence the nickname "Mad Potter." As to the
future, Lindsay hopes to join the ski team at Nasson and pick up
any education that Moses Brown might have overlooked.
