The Class of ‘67

Here we are-the class of ‘67. Eighty-eight boys were enrolled as freshmenin 1963. Four years later, twenty-nineof them are graduating.

DALE ALLEY maintains a closelead for first place in “hush” running(bosh: stubbly chin). Our newly eatah-lished student council resulted from hispush. Dale portrayed “the noblest Ro-man of them all” in the v&or p l ay .Dale was the starting halfback on thefootball team. He spends time attempt-ing to play the guitar; doesn’t every-hody these days? Dale wears contactlenses, and sang the part of the shepherdin the glee club’s Shepherd’s Cantata.

RAY RACA is the beatnik of thegroup. He keeps Simon and Garfonkrlin the record business. He is known forhis recitation of Beowulf in the originalOld English. Raynaldo likes JohannSebastian Bach, Mod clothes, and Peter,Paul, and Mary. HP hates physics, hair-cuts, and Gallup, New Mexico. In hisfreshman year, he repraented his classin the speech contest and won the English essay contest.

T O M RRACKMANN i s a navid fan of the Cincinnati Reds andHodepohl beer. HP started on the base.ball team last year in left field. Tom,the physics “sbarpie,” was prefect was2-B sophomore year. He has a terrificsense of humor, like3 Ollie James andRichard King.

PAT RURKE is the star athleteof the class. He exhausts himself everywork period writing Brown and Whitearticles and washing the knobs on all

the car radios. His favorite hobbies arereading novels, playing pool, and at.tempting to keep his contact lenses inplace. It is rumored that he has thebest undiscovered voice in the schoolalthough we do not have any witnessesto verify this statemen.nt

TRRY CHAVEZ played the po-sition of guard on the basketball teamduring his junior and his senior years.His great ambition is to play a gamewithout fouling out. Toby played thepar t of Antony in the senior play, .I.Caesar. Toby rules with an iron handas study ball prefect, but actually hemakes more noise than all of us pot to.gether.

MlCHAEL CORREA can makefriends instantly and often uses histalent as a jokester to start conversa-tions. Mike won the English essay con-test in his senior year by writ ing ahumorous essay concerning spwd read-ing. Mike is also our efficient C.S.M.C. president. He was captain of a rough.and.tough football team whose recordwas a spectacular zero - no pointsscored throughout the entire season.Though not a great football captain,Mike is a champion at ping-pong andhas represented his class in two elocu-tion contests.

M I K E RISCEPOLI i s a b i r dwatcher and a billboard watcher. “Mi-chael D.” grew about six inches duringthe summer between sophomore andjunior years; and he wears his hairdangerously close to the eyebrows. Hehas a hard time understanding BrotherKenan’s instructions, especially in thereading course. Mike was a member ofthe Brown and White staff and in chargeof servers for Mass. He was also in aspeech contest.

L U K E D O B & R is v e r y a c t i v eand can usually be found doing some-thing. Whether it is basketball, smokinghis pipe, football, playing cards, orhockey, you can he sure he’ll be rightin the middle of everything and lovingevery minute of it. His accomplishmentsgive evidence of a well-rounded preson-ality. He’s been vice-president of thestudent council.

DAN DONORUP., since he por-t rays Baby Huey of the comics, hasbeen nicknamed “Duck.” He is knownfor his voice. known and hard in everycorner of the Seminary. His off-pitchquack wobbles in semi-harmony in thegke club. A smilr swms to persistentlynestle itself on his lips, He can’t standto be quiet, even after the lights areout. Duck was the author of “Tonguein Cheek” in the Brown and White.

STBYF: FINDI.EY, w i t h h i spink shirt and ewr-lit pipe. leads theclass in the modern-youth trend. In hispditorials in thP Brown and White, her e v e a l s h i s c o n c e r n f o r t h e “NPWBreed.” He is active on th? tennis courtsand in the classroom. Being a very con-scientious student. Stew has mamtain-ed a ninety-percent average for his foury~ars of study.

Every class should have at Ipast oneintellectual. ln om class it is Dlti:KFRARER. Dick has been unofficial-ly duhbrd por t IaureatP of the i?rownand White this year. In order to nameall the places Dick has called home, WPwould haw to lengthen the Brown andWhite ndy ten pages. Dick intends totake a ‘tow of the world somr day tovisit all his old homes! One final in-termting note: Dick is in thr process ofwriting his first nod.

DAVJ3 FRANK is definitely themost talkative fellow in the classwhy,he must have said twenty words outsideof class in ow week! Dave has writtenfewer sets of rules than anyone else inour class. He’s a thinker, too busy con-trmplating the proofs of man’s goodnessto get into trouble. Dave holds a chartermembership in the Tin Ear Club and isan avid Philad4phia Phillies fan. Dawwas born with a baseball mitt in hishand.

Especially recognizable by his famousnasal profile, RILL HANSEN, ourschool prefect, makes his living by run-ning around the dormitory in borrow4slippers and occasionally borrowed pa.jamas, looking for m&factors. He oftensprnds his leisure hours flexing hi*mu&--bound back against the weightsin the gym or swinging monkey-styleon the high-bar. H P smokes entiwlytoo much, mostly tobacco “mooched”from Dober.

L A R R Y HARMIXYER. a l s ocalled “Ham,” is oftrn known to weara pair of purple pants, along with afriendly smile. These could bP reasonswhy he is loved by little children. Larrytends to lean toward the National Base-ball League; those in disagrerment con-sidpr this to be one of his major faults.HP is very active in sports with rmpha-sis on basketball. Raised on a farmnear Batesvilk-, Indiana, he is able t ogive firsthand information on milkingcows .

B O R R Y H A Y E S . w h o s e homris in Louisville, Kentucky, is a corn-p a t r i o t o f Fathrr Theodqric, our be-lo& disciplinarian. Gordon Hay%, a~the Brown and White would have it, isan avid fan of J.D. Saling?r, as well asof t h e organ.. He o n c e s t a r r e d o n

He is continually singing hardrock and folk tune3 to thr discomfortof his etassmatrs. Ted thinks Prt Clarkis the greatest singer around.

TOA&l LOPEZ. the oldest memhrrof our class. hails from the beautifulSpanish city of Santa Fr, New Maico.The nickname, “Quack,” wems to hawhad its foundation in Quack’s pre-srm-inary yars as a frirnd tells us. Nrver-thetea. the nickname is most descriptivein revrating the truth. You SCP. Quarkhas the tremendous knack for encoun-trring knocks. Even whrn “knocks” arv

totally unimaginable, Quack can im-agim them. However, all of Quack’sknacks aren’t knocks. Quack has a tre-mendous liking for thr evrr-talentedBeatles, the ever-fan&tic Dodgers, andthe ever-grrat Sandy Koufax, who in-cidentally wrote his signature forQuack with that record-making lrftarm.

DAS MAYER is a man with aa “head” on his shoutdrrs. Dan is mo5tcommonly known in thr glee club as th?“v&i or thr “god” bwxwe of his higbass voire. Father Auhert’s l i f e a m b i -tion is to make him smile.

.IDAN PANNUTD was t h epresident of the student council. Oneof his physical characteristics is hisfamed eyebrow. Most folks have twowith a bald spot at the bridge of thenose. John sports a big, bushy, singlemodel. The falling hair from his headimplants itself on his chin. HP insistshe has the touch of Michelangelo inhis brush and the wit of Mark Twainin his pen.

RDR RAEF is the only represen-tativr from Missouri in our class andprobably the only Missourian with anArkansas accrnt. He won the Englishessay contest freshman year, can type80 words a minute, and plays clari-net in Father Aubert’s hand.

Le-andr” strongly prefers thr country lifeto city life. On the farm he can do alot of “varmint hunting.” Leandro isthe only senior to successfully give upsmoking this year.

NDRR SCHWARTZ is by non,Falls sh”rt o f s p o r t s rnthusiasm o rshort of staturr. He dunks a basketballproficirntly: he swings a hockey stickwickedly; he greases his slide ruledaily; his physics book nwrr growsdusty. Norb was the assistant manager

of the student store and Third Orderprefect. He insists that Latin went outwith Greek.

D D N TAALAEIMER grewmore in the last four years than any-body else in the class, hut he is stillsmall. Don is known in speech classfor his owl-like eyes. He has workedin the language lab for four years. HPenjoys physics and sports, particularlygolf.
