Tom Gross, potentially the greatest athlete
in the class, once reeled off seven no-hit
games in a row, on the eighth grade base
ball team—unfortunately he was a batter and
not a pitcher! As a result Tom decided to
change his tack and become a runner. He
now possesses more letters and fewer
' Greenies” from Doc than anyone else in
the school. Tom’s achievements also overlap
into the realm of studies; he holds the record
for the shortest answer to one of Mr. Nutt’s
full-period tests. A good deal of his intel
lectual curiosity was stifled by the Babe, who
kicked him out of class for failing to cover
his effusions with a handkerchief. Outside,
of school, whenever he could manage to
tear himself away from the mirror, Tom is
a whiz. His good looks and suave guitar
playing provided him with a large clientele
for the Gross Blind Date Agency, and his
strip-laying sports car always raised "ooh’s”
of admiration from the opposite sex. With
such a violently loyal following how can
Tom not continue to succeed in the future?
ROBERT TERRY HAAS
109 Rogers Ave., W. Barrington, R.I.
FORM III: Football, Wrestling, Spring Track, French Club.
FORM IV: Letter in Football, Winter Track, Spring Track, French

Spring Track, Editor-in-Chief of Delphian.
"Big Ter” has the distinction of holding
a rare position: "main cog” of the football
team and Editor of the Delphian. Since the
latter publication was slightly in debt,
Terry’s persuasive abilities were put to good
use when a compulsory subscription pro
gram to the Delphian was instituted. Terry’s
free time is spent racing his go-cart
(equipped with two engines of course) down
Interstate 95, where he has on one occasion
been overtaken by a state trooper. Next time
Terry wears his "go to have an X-ray” pants,
we hope he checks for stray rocks. Never one
to waste study halls, Terry tried to improve
his math by figuring Hi-low-jack odds on the
side. Whereas Terry is a good-sized lad at
5' 10" and 230 pounds, he’s also large on
brains and should therefore, with his win
ning personality, be a big man (one way or
another) at college.
