Living about twenty yards from campus, Moses Brown has always been Tad’s backyard. Tad made
his first official appearance on the M.B. campus thirteen years ago in kindergarten. He showed up
with a football clutched under one arm, a hockey stick protruding from his left ear, a lacrosse stick
stuck in his sneaker, and an economics book in his back pocket. Tad combined academic excellence
with athletic superiority. Although he sported a crew cut in his younger days, Tad unleashed a
veritable lion’s mane in Upper School, symbolic of his integrity and his physical and moral
strength. Tad was a friend to all who passed through the shadow of the Elms; a man of his word
and a true gentleman. W ho else could strike up a conversation with the Operator at one o’clock in
the morning?

Coming from Gordon School, Joel arrived at Moses Brown with a wealth of talent, a warm per­
sonality, and a great sense of humor. His major activities were playing the guitar, bicycle riding,
beach-combing, and participating in a wide range of intramural sports. His forte, however, was
drama, in which he worked both backstage and in the limelight, his most memorable performance
being in The Diary of Anne Frank. Joel’s greatest academic obstacle was learning to pronounce the
aspirate "h ” in Mr. Whitford’s French I class. He is the perfect example of a Moses Brown Ren­
aissance Man — he firmly believes that scholarship should be reserved for later years and must in
no way interfere with a good high school education.

Jason was never one to get lost in a crowd, due primarily to his inimitable wardrobe. W ho can
forget the two-tone pants, flashy print shirts, and, of course, Jason’s magnificent array of hats? In
addition to his ventures into the world of high fashion, Jason was known as both a scholar of
considerable note and as the manager’s manager. Determination and hard work consistently paid
off in honor grades for Jason, and his efforts in the winter and spring were instrumental in the
success of the hockey and lacrosse teams. Though a diligent worker, Jason was never one to take
life too seriously, while still having the ability to laugh both at himself and others. That is a trait
which should stand him in good stead in his future endeavors.
"For what is a man, what has he got if not himself, then he is not to say the things he truly feels,
and not the words of one who kneels, the record shows I took the blows, and did it my way.”
