who received an Exeter pen. “Photo B was taken during fall 1978. In the upper left is Bob Brownell ’79. Just to the right of the first ‘E’ of Exeter is Glenn Robinson ’79. The right-hand head below the second ‘E’ is the late, great Rich Benson ’79, a glorious winner of the Abbot 500. Below and to the right of Rich, in a dark sweater, is Bill Fredericks ’79, a demon of a cribbage player. To his right is Pete Fattal ’79, the only Armenian doctor in the photo. Centered behind Bill and Pete is Jennifer Middleton ’79, who is not a member of the British royal family. In front of the third ‘E,’ the right-hand head is Julia Veale ’79, who only looks short because Mac Dyke ’79 is to her right. In front of them is Mike Thomas ’80, who has done more deep-frying at the

Below Rhod, looking down, is Joe Maruca [Cook] ’80, who knows what véhicule prioritaire means.To Joe’s left and right are two young ladies who were both preps at the time—the left-hand one might be named Martha. To the right of Joe and Rhod, looking left, is Frank the Virginian, who is probably holding a soda can for his chewing tobacco. To Frank’s right, all the way at the edge of the photo, that dark partial head belongs to Andy Locsin ’80, who competed as an Olympian shot-putter for the Philippines while at Exeter. Down in the bottom-left corner, the blond head with bangs is Katarina Sawtelle ’79, of Model U.N. fame. In front of Katarina is the top of Ann Pfeiffenberger [O’Neill]’s head. Below and to the left of the exact center of the photo, the somber face looking straight forward under the mushroom cap of hair is Geoffrey Ames ’79, if it isn’t his brother. To his left is the more smiley Bill Balcke ’79. Commanding the bottom of the photo, just to the right of center, is Toya Patton ’79. Low to her right, with big glasses, is her friend Lemelia Johnson [Bonner] ’79. Above Lemelia and below Joe (looking down in a striped shirt) is Randy Knight ’79, looking to the right in a

o Big Red! The rivalry between Exeter and Andover is alive and well after more than a century of gridiron contests, and Exonians can still recall the playby-play details of games and pajama parades, as well as their classmates and coaches. Alums even helped us correct a mislabeled photo in our digital archives, identifying the pajama parade photo (A) as being from a game against Tilton, rather than Andover. Thank you for your help and responses!

December 7, 2011, marked the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, memorialized by Presi- A dent Franklin D. Roosevelt as a “date which will live in infamy.” We would like to recognize not only the brave Exonians who fought in World War II but also those who have served during other wars. The photographs depict war memorials on campus. Can you identify where each is located? Please share reflections about your own involvement in the military during wartime, or any memories of classmates, friends or family members who served after attending Exeter. Email us at Exoniana@exeter.edu. Or, send your responses to Exoniana, c/o The Exeter Bulletin, Phillips Exeter Academy, Communications Office, 20 Main Street, Exeter, NH 03833-2460.
