His genial personality and genuine affability won for him the respect and friendship of his classmates. Teds qualities of leadership, character and integrity made him one of the more popular members of the '-19 class. Boasting of Swedish extraction, Blonde Sven never failed to contribute to a bull session by extolling the many merits of his lineage or by glorifying the little town of Berlin. Conn.. his residence. His rustic environ- ment and mode of life. though not purely agrarian, offset some of the more sophisticated elements of the class, pro- viding a most welcome balance. Ted was proficient scholas- tically and extra-curricularly as well. Last year. Elbows was assistant manager of the Varsity Football Squad. As a member of the bI.Y. basketball team for two years, his hoop- ing was consistent if not always accurate. The zeal and enthusiasm which Ted expressed on the court revealed the true athletic sportsmanship which he possessed. This fall he was awarded a major Ci for his managerial work on the Varsity Football Team. He was also a member of the Edi- torial Board of The Gunnery News. CHARLES BANKS BliI.T, MIR, 19-iff-149 WILLIAMS C, B. Belt. the last of Ciunnerys back-woods boys, has graduated. During his stay at the Gunnery. Charlie fished for trout in the Shepaug, slept out under the stars, built shacks in the woods of Wfashington, and has been one of the main pillars of the outdoor club for the past few years. In addition to the aforementioned spring and fall activities, C Bfi skied and managed the Varsity Hockey Teams in the years of '18 and '-i9. This year he was associate editor of the Ciunnerys literary publication, the Stray Shot. An excellent and an interested student C. B. was a frequent member of the honor roll throughout his sojourn at the Gunnery. Charlies plans lie in Williziins College where he will study to fulfill his ambitions of becoming a mining engineer, W'e feel confident that Charlie's good work will continue throughout college and that he will receive the rewards of honest labor, Certainly no boy in the school, through his own efforts, has more richly deserved success. 4. Af U vi E 4 Q. as ff!- -e 3 DONALD lil ll Q IQN li COITRTN l2Y 19 io-'49 Iiitvixwr Coming to Gunnery three years ago. Don set right in proving himself through his consistent endeavors which could only mark him as one of outstanding qualities. A hard worker scholastically, Digger proved himself to be espe- cially adept on the athletic field where he displayed the clean lighting spirit that characterized him as one of the leading athletes at Gunnery. Playing on the varsity football, hockey, and baseball teams all three years. he climaxed his brilliant career by captaining the baseball team in the spring of his Senior year. Always subjected to taunts about his batting average, Don surprised all by hitting over .5003 his brilliant play and untiring spirit led his team to a successful season. Receiving his nickname from his unparrelleled impersona- tion of Digby O'Dell, the friendly undertaker. Diggers wit easily made him one of the most popular humorists in the school. lt was only natural that Dons affable personality should merit him the position of councilman in his Junior year, an ollice which he vacated in his Senior year for the title of a Prefect. ROBERT JOHN CASH ION I9 to-719 TlFlf'I'S liobs overall threesyear record at The Gunnery h is been consistent and variegated. XVhile his academic record was not spectacular. it was one of steady achievement c acterized by a strong resolution of purpose. Big Cats' true talent lay outside the classroom, however. lle was an able athlete. lior two years he held down a line position on the Red and Gray eleven, gaining a major G in his Senior year. Bob was also a key man on the IV. basketball and baseball teams for two years. During the winter and spring terms of his Senior year, The Cat also took up skiing and golf Bob excelled as a golfer. being especially adapt with a driver and putter. Bob was a day boy for all but one term of his three-year stay at the school. During the winter term of his Senior year, liob was a denizen of the Gibson corridor and here, he was given to regaling the other lads with tales of his mad-cap vacation life in the Connecticut countryside and his adventures in New York City. A tall, good-looking brunet, liob plans to take up dentistry in college.

A love of the arts. namely music, literature. architecture, and painting plus a sincere interest in current events and international relations accented Davids life at The Gunnery. Davids particular interest. however,was organ music more than anything else. He tried to fancy himself a critic of theology, drama. and church architecture, Save for an occasional attempt at skiing. athletics held no attraction for David who preferred to tly among the classics and try to display his talents in the intel- lectual lield. David argued vigorously in the Philosophy Club meetings and won the Time Current Events Test through constant plodding through his stack of last year's Time Magazines. All remember Davies daily dashes to breakfast. Wliile running against time and over obstacles, David man- aged to adjust his necktie. don his jacket and leap over playful dogs. His ten-second flights were artfully contrived, but David was late as often as not due to slow starts. David plans to become a teacher after he has completed his courses at Colby. David has yet to receive the proper recognition due him for his uncompromising love of the arts and classics but we can justly call him an esthetic and by so doing acknowledge a superior being. ITRANCQOIS DIZMEY 1948-'-49? Lftsuvrzasrrv or Gnifrsir One of the most interesting new personalities at The Gunnery this year was Francois deMey whose home is Ghent, Belgium. Iirancois was quiet but would rally to an argument with passion and excitement. Ile is an accomplished portrait painter, and has studied art most of his life. Wlien he was twelve years of age he had studied among other things German, Flemish. linglish. French. various math and science courses, two history courses. geography. the literature of the aforementioned languages, to say nothing of ecclesiastical studies as well as such esthetic and cultural pursuits as art, music and sculpture. Francois played soccer but confessed open-mouthed amazement at the stress laid upon athletics here. Francois also stated that our large cities, such as New York and Boston, were unimpressive and merely similar to any large liuropean city. On the whole, Francois has gained much from this experienceg learning the American way of life. Certainly there could be no greater step toward world peace and good-will than a mutual understanding of one another among tonrorrows citizens. During the summer he plans to travel to the XVest Cloast and to see as much of the United States as possible before returning to Belgium and college.

He entered each new held with not only whole-hearted vitality but capability. Ivy's hrst year at The Gunnery saw him elected to the Student Councilg it was a status which he was only to relinquish for the ofhce of Prefecr in his Senior year. Throughout he held steadfastly to duty, which was rewarded by unstinted popularity and respect. As an honor student he was surpassed by but a fewg his high scholastic standing was unimpaired by the multitude of extra-curricular activities that occupied his every waking moments. In his hrst year Ivy began to write for The Gun- nery Newsug in his second year he became associate editor. His rise was as steady as it was completeg in his Senior year Ivan became editor-in-chief. Once seated in the editors chair he proceeded to put out one of the finest papers the school had seen in years. It was characteristic that he should devote himself so completely to his jobg responsibility vested in Ivan Hirsch was never placed in vain. Taken for all in all, Ivy was easily one of the most outstanding members of a class that may be conservatively termed unusual. HITRISITRT CQIINTON HIiSS. FIR. 1946-'-19 XWILLIAMS Herbies trenchant wit made a welcome addition to any bull session. Possessing an indescribable talent to magnify certain characteristics of his senior fellows. he immortalized dullards, individualists and social misiits and gave their per- sonages color which otherwise they would sadly lack. Hess-Ho was brilliant at this. his chief interest and pleasure. Herbies quick and ready wit is representative of a like intelligence with which he obtained consistant honors in English. A three year man and one of the few remaining refugees from Bartlett, he played on the IV. baseball team, IV. football, and the third basketball team. Herbie was severely injured last spring while playing baseball and this forced him to dis- continue prep school athletics. This year Herb was appointed varsity soccer manager.

A refugee from the Bartlett conflagration, Pete has com- pleted three prosperous years at The Gunnery. Although his principal interests and talents lay in mechanics and airplane assembly, Pete engaged in various phases of school life, During his off-moments The Little Pilot tinkered with his airships and engines. His models, neatly constructed and designed, revealed his efforts of craftsmanship and skill. Pete's main contribution to the schools curricular activi- ties revealed itself in the managerial sphere rather than the athletic sphere of Gunnery sport life. In this field he showed his real worth. Aiding the head managers of virtually every sport in his two years of apprenticeship, Pete received major letters this year for managerial work in football, basketball, and baseball. Our ringer manager willingly rendered valuable assistance to the teams, diligently per- forming the various duties which his position entailed. Acting as corridor monitor, Rotundo's booming voice could be heard nocturnally calling lights through the halls of Brinsmade. In addition, he aided The Gunnery News board, serving as assistant business manager. Pete termi- nated his three years with an acceptance at Northrop Aero- nautical School. IQIDWARIRD JOSEPH LALUMIA 19,28-U19 BROWN A one year boy, Lum has spent a fruitful and eventful year at The Gunnery. Noted for his easy temperament and ready smile, Prof was sure to be present at any session of hilarious nature, revealing some strange and lucid tales of his Naval adventures in the Bahamas. During the months the Prof was at Gunnery he not only maintained a con- sistent level scholastically, but showed an easy prowess in all forms of sports. He won his first major letter in football where his bonefbruising tackles constantly menaced the opposing teams. During the winter term, Tom was unde- cided as to which coach to blessg Mr. Sturges and hockey, or Mr. Beebe and basketball, but he turned his full attention to a nurse in the VUaterbury Hospital where he found him- self without his appendix. Returning to school after his unbearable confinement, Tom roamed center field on the varsity baseball team and earned his second letter, Tom ruled despotically in his monitorship at the cottage, and thanks to his good nature, said cottage is still in existence. The Mayor intends to enter the field of law or journalism after his graduation from college. s4,iWv ' l0' tif 1 c my TON PARKS 111 1917 9 Pmrksie 1 resident of Vlfrshington is 1 member of the seleet Four Xexr Club whieh in toto grlduxtes from Gunnery this yerr Few who knew this quiet modest and Ptrks drugstore ehun Cliyt w ms most popular in two plaees On the xthletie held ind behind the sodr fount1in tt the PO where his friendly flee would quell near riots for seryiee A eonsistlntly hrrd worker seholastietlly Ptrksie wrs in equtlly hlrd worker in sports where his eonsttnt prletiee mtde perfeet In his Sophomore year Llxyt pltyed N footbtll 1nd eiptuned the IV biseblll term ln his unior yerr Qllyt reeeiyed his mxyor C in brsketb 1ll 1nd brsebtll His Senior year w ts the most event ful how ey er lb he pl ty ed fullbtek on the footb1ll team guard on the brsketblll temm 1nd third blse on the b1seb1ll team 1 three letter m1n ln btsebxll Cl1yts e1rnest striving for perfeetion w 15 the most notxble Coming from 1 weak hitter to one of the term s strongest bttters in one year His h1rd hghting spirit good sportsmtnship md modest response to 1 Job well done mtde Clty ton Prrks indeed one of the le tding members of his elrss PAUL A LLEN MORTELL 1947-V19 TRINITY Roosters two years at The Gunnery have been well hlled, Not many did as well as the tall lad from Fairheld.

A two-year boy, Suky was quick to obtain a fluent understanding of the intricate and complex English language, and proved his worth by copping the award for the most improved scholar at the end of his first year of the school. This quiet. unassum- ing lad, small of stature but great in ability to participate in many different fields of endeavor, has engaged in a multitude of activities during his stay at The Gunnery. He was first seen on the soccer held where his speed and agility constantly baffled the opposition and aided in many Gunnery victories. In the spring, Suky ventured to the golf course where his simple answer of Par to the question, XXfhat did you get on the hole would infuriate some of the less fortunates whose score was uncountable. Suky held down the job of monitor in Wliittlesey in his Senior year and controlled the corridor like the King of Siam himself. His electric guitar added to the harmony of the school orchestra and was con- stant entertainment for the class. Suky intends to go back to Siam after college, but hopes to return to the U, S. again. ARTIII 'R liIZliNl2Y STEDMAN I9-16-'-i9 BROWN There are few who have come to The Gunnery who have been as deeply engaged in school activities as was Art. In the field of athletics there have been few as well accom- plished as he. Art earned a varsity football letter his last two years and changed to crew in the spring to captain that sport his Senior year. Hockey, however, seemed to be the sport at which he was most prohcient, and at which he earned a varsity G all three years, captaining the team his Senior year in a gentle and yet properly brusque manner. Art carried his interest in athletics to the literary held and held down the positions of sports editor on both The Red and Gray and The Gunnery News his Senior year, Always a hard worker, Art was a consistent contributor to the success of school life. He was a member of the Student Council his Junior and Senior years.

Immediately upon arriving he made himself known on the IV. football field after which followed J.V. basketball and membership on the Pioneer crew team. Tacking upward a bit, jack in his Senior year held down the assistant business managership on The Red and Gray board, and worked for the Press Club. Hoisting his jib, he veered around the gridiron to earn his varsity letter, amused himself on the IV. hardwoods during the winter and wallowed in his element in the spring, stroking a shell instead of sailing a boat. Wherever there might be seen a get-together of Gibson lads mingling about, jack was sure to be there voicing his caustic comments or else telling them all of his meagre, sailing experiences out on the wild briny depths. Next fall, jack will cruise down to Lehigh where he will follow up his career by specializing in sales and sales management. DWIGHT ELLIOTT WILSON, JR. 1948-'49 YALE Bun spent a most successful year at The Gunnery. He was interested and diligent in all that he did, and this was apparent in the strong academic record that he made. Dwight was recognized as one of the true mathematicians of the school and he achieved a high standard in science as well. The fall and winter terms found him first enthusiastically playing on the IV. football squad and then assisting in the management of the varsity hockey team. Bun was also an able outfielder on the Senior loafing baseball team in the spring. Dwight hailed from the fabled community of near-by Berlin, and while his technical Gunnery home was in Hurl- burt, he was included with comrades Hirsch, Reagle, Benson as an honorary Brinsmadian. The Altitudinous One spent long hours in Brinsmade reliving Connecticut adventures with this trio. He was serene and affable and his good nature won friends wherever he went. But he will probably be best remembered for his work in the Dramatic Club. His char- acterization of the evil Machiavellian Squire in one of the school productions was done with his characteristic effort and interest. TM GUNNERY KNOW ORIG! I' VITDIIE GUN!

I L - i' The following Wednesday two teams both unde feared in league play engaged in what was probably the most important game of the season Playing on the long narrow Hotchkiss court the Gunnery with Parks and Sherwood scoring from underneath and Bradshaw Mortell and Cohn popping in shots from outside emerged on the long end of a 46 47 score over a smooth working Hotchkiss combine Kent was stopped handily on the Red and Gray court 49-35 for the twelfth straight win. Number 13 didn't come quite as easily for Canterbury on their tricky home court kept a lead over the Gunnery quin- tet right up to the last minute when Paul Morrell swished through the tying point with a foul shot. Dick Cohn made good a set shot for a 2-point lead which was widened by Sherwoods two-marker as the buzzer sounded giving the Red and Gray a 42-38 tussle. Wooster and Watkinson both were thumped by con- vincing scores of 63-26 and 68-36 as Bradshaw totaled 47 counters in the two games. Coach Beebe took his boys to town the night of March Sth to take on the smooth-working Washington Townie combine in an exhibition game played for the benefit of the Washington High School Athletic Fund. The overflow crowd got their moneys worth as the Townies, after trailing by 12 points at halftime, came right back and forced the game into overtime, but lost out on missed foul trys thus enabling The Gun- nery to best them by a 41-40 score, Gunnery sensing an anticlimax if it lost its last game really put on the heat as the team completely overpowered Hotchkiss with quick ball handling and Bradshaw s 31 point outburst to record a 61 40 victory and bring their skein of wins to 17 straight Outstanding this year was the manner in which stress was not on individual team players as in the past but in the working of the Gunnery quintet as a unit of five men out to win a basketball game. 1-aul Morrell proving his worth as Captain was a menace to opposing centers throughout the league due to his outstanding defensive play. Offensively he was a scoring threat at all times. Bruce Bradshaw Gunnerys high scoring ace led the team and the league with 303 points. His one-hand shot and driving layups pros ed too much for all opposi- tion. Dick Sherwood converted to a backboard man by Coach Beebe played brilliant ball all season control- ling both backboards and finding time in between to perfect a hook-shot which was unstoppable. Guard Dick Cohn the brilliant set-shot artist and playmaker of the '49 squad, broke up many a tight zone with his deadly sets. In the tight games his ball handling ability proved invaluable. Last but not least, an equally important cog in the well-rounded unit was diminutive Clayt Parks, the rough and tumble guard, who set up many of the scor- ing plays and played outstanding defensive ball. ff-2 , f , if ,f 'mv 1. , 4 ll ...

O Kent .............................,... VARSITY HOCKEY REVIEW The 1949 Hockey season will be remembered best for its scarcity of ice, for its quick succession of games when ice was available and for Coach Sturges' valiant but unavailing attempts to establish a permanent land rink on Barnes Memorial Field. The cause of all the trouble, of course, was the weather. While waiting for freezing weather early in the season the team practiced with tennis balls and sticks on the football field Returning lettermen Blumenthal Courtney Murdoch Offut Captain Stedman and Weil indicated at this stage that they would form the nuc leus of any team that would take to the ice wherever and whenever it could be found The weather ,mx plagued the team through the creation and dissolution of many land rinks before it was discovered that the South Kent Lake had ice on it Gunnery lost no time in taking advantage of this opportunity which resulted in the teams playing its opening game with South Kent on anuary 12 without the benefit of any organized practice on ice With Blumenthal in the goal Weil at left wing Captain Stedman at right wing Offutt and Treadway sharing the center positiong and Courtney and Tayntor making up the defense, Gunnery fought a scrappy game against the Cardinal and Black but lost 4-0 to a faster, more experienced sextet. The season came to an abrupt halt shortly after the South Kent game however when several weeks of warm weather made further ice skating impossible By February 1 conditions became favorable again and Gunnery journeyed to Berkshire where the best team in the League left Gunnery on the short end of a 1 l score Captain Stedman made the single Red and Gray tally when he split the defense in a lone sortie Although Gunnery was out classed Stedman Offutt and Courney led the team in a spirited battle which held down the Berkshire attack for two periods but which succumbed in the final period to a five goal b ast Three days later Gunnery christened its land rink with the season s first victory a l 0 decision over Can terbury It was the only game to be played on the land d 'ix 4, il- N.: il rtnk all Wtnter The rce was poor but both teams were aggresstve Wrth three mrnutes left to go Stedman dented the tvune to gtve Gunnery tts Hrst hockey vtc tory of the year Immedtately followtng the score, Gun nery recetved a double penalty, but the team managed to keep the Canterbury attack throttled long enough to w1n the game The next day Gunnery tangled wtth powerful Kent tt Kent and lost 4 O Wtth the best tce condtttons of the season the game was a fast one Gunnery showed deflntte tmprovement tn thts encounter and the team s Hghtrng Splflf and team work helped to keep the score as low as rt vxas Gunnery s second vrctory of the season C l OJ came IH the gtme vxrth tn aggresstve Salisbury s1x rn whtch Stedmans lone score was the wtnntng margrn tn a closely contested match on the old rxnk at Fanntngs Pond The next day the Gunnery pucksters agatn took to home tce, but suffered defeat at the hands of Taft, 4 l Agarn Stedman made the only tally for Gunnery, I when he spltt the defense 1n the last pertod Taft had a dtsttnctly supertor team but Gunnery conttnued to show fight throughout the contest and made tt a fast and lnteresttng game to watch The followtng afternoon Gunnery traveled to Mtll brook where the Red and Gray had a dxfficult txme httttng tts strtde Although Gunnery fought hard lf was not able to end the season wxth a vtctory and lost by a score of 5 I Captatn Stedman, htgh scorer, mrght have been d1s appotnted by such an trregular season but 1f he was he seldom showed tt Hts aggressive and nghtxng sptrtt never dtmtntshed and set a shtntng example whrch con ttnually tnsptred hrs team mates to play the best game they Could The fact that the team loses three out of tts stx mam stays wtth the graduatton of Courtney, Stedman and Well should not affect next years prospects too ser1 ously, as there are a number of underelassmen whose expertence thls year wtll prove valuable to next year s hockey team . ., 1 , we ,,,. as s - V 7 ,. , G ,H K I ' ey., V V , rf. 0 . ,,L, - av ' .

'44 etto right Pereire McClellan T White Carey CCaptJ Ledbetter Mahnken Kohler Mr Dodd CCoachJ VARSITY SKI TEAM The Gunnery ski team was able to hold only two ski meets during the winter term because of unsea sonably dry and warm weather which made skiing conditions difficult Enthusiasm 1n the squ id ran high however and whenever snow conditions permitted the team made the most of them Practice at the Sno' Pocket Tow was often supplemented by runs on Beebe Hill or other hills in the vicinity of the school. The first meet was held at Millbrook School in New York State on February 5 in competition with teams from Millbrook, Berkshire, Kent, Lenox, Darrow and Salisbury. Although snow conditions were not too good, The Gunnery team made a favorable showing with Captain Carey placing seventh among the 58 competitors. T. White, Kohler and Pereire also did well. Following this meet there was a period of warm weather during which the remaining snow disap- peared. Then, shortly before term examinations, a twelve inch fall of good snow made a meet possible between Taft and Gunnery at the Sno Pocket Tow On the open slalom course Gunnery placed first and third 1 Carey and Pereire respectivelyj but lost the meet by 1 small margin as Taft won second fourth and fifth places Despite the disappointing season, the team worked hard and should have an experienced group on the slopes next year. The new members of the team were mostly freshmen who showed great promise for the future. The team was centered around Captain Dick Carey as the guiding and leading light. jimmy Pereire, a student of Swiss skiing, was also one of the main cogs in the squad. The other members: Kohler, Tad and Dick White, Mahnken, McClellan and Ledbetter, all contributed greatly to the formation of their weather- cursed team which performed so admirably at both meets.

FIRST and SECOND BOATS FIRST BOAT SECOND BOAT VARSITY CREW The Spring, of 1949 saw the Gunnery Crew launch its second season on Lake Wara maugh The first boat swamped on its maiden voyage due to heavy seas and the inexperi ence of Bud Prince with a new more powerful outboard at his commind In this first boat were the cream of last years crop Stroked by Captain Stedman and vet Cox Nat Howard at the helm Rice Tiylor D ind deKuypcr were quick to follow ID stroke The second boat after a slow start due to lnexpericnce showed an amazlngly rapid improve ment and as the season closed both boats were vreing for top honors rm Clayton who exhibited outstanding form for his first ye1r in crew and rowed in a majority of the races was unable to complete the season due to an unfortunate knee inyury Paced by jack Yates at stroke and Captain elect Tayntor at 5 Qliyton at 2 Williams rowing bow and coxed by extra large 1m Ebers the five improved immensely under the attentive coaching of Sir Rodrlc BB The seasons record of one win in four starts was not impressive but the experience proved invaluable and rn future years Gunnerys name should turn up in the winning column The sole victory came on the Farmington River against Avon Old Farms Both boats won by sizable margins rowing smoothly at a low stroke The second boat made rmpressrve showings at Salisbury and Wooster by losing by scant feet both times If interests continue in future years, crew should take IES place as one of Gunnery s leading sports 79 I . f' ,Q 7 , V , il' S Q A O 0 v OX ,N it 'P 1 ' 'gf' .

Darling typed out all the articles that were accepted for publication and all those that were rejected. Rudolph diligently collected and with the aid of Mr. Cooney, picked the select few to be published in the literary magazine. Rudolph, himself, used two of his many literary works. Darling contributed a short pertinent poem also. Other contributions this year were Bob Phelps with an essay, Ted Tayler with a poem, Ivan Hirsch with another poem, and Charles Banks Belt, jr., who wrote a sonnet. This year there was great interest in the Slmy S1101 on the part of the student body. There was held a photography contest, in which DeWitt Taylor, the photographic editor, was in charge. One-half dozen pictures were accepted to be used in the Stray S1101 from hundreds that poured in from over the School. For the coming year, john Fletcher English, Jr., has been selected as the new editor-in-chief and his assistant will be Mike Mcwhinney. 90 41-u-we-H 21111 1 I llll TT ' TH W' 'T ,.,, Left ro nght Ilsley Mr Beebe Offutt 4Secreraryy Mr Buxton Stedman ATHLETIC COUNCIL Y' llll ...ill -nv-ur .uw N. v' JI we I I 1 wha, .. f E 11 -' Tg,,.4l-.Jef Mv- M JY v5-'Mir 33- -an 'Y .mmf ev Left to right WlIIl3mS Carey Taylor CCha1rmanD Phelps DANCE COMMITTEE 'vm ,QA f nt. .PM .Q ' ., 4 , x I R I r A 'fr .,, VY.
