In the Five years, from the time the Second Formers arrived with Mr. Hall until the present, our form has been part of an era of change and growth at this school. The Board of this year's DIAL has attempted to embody that spirit in this volume. WIC hope that our years of Hill life have enabled us to portray the vitality with which the school is moving forward. Encouraged by the school's motto, we herewith present the 1957 DIAL in which we have recorded those things which we saw to be true. - X I1 27-I, 4 565-,L 410mm www: CLQGA-.IJ-jJx B 110-nerr-J Y- 77 WWW an r:.mt,....,f M kiwi Ida l..1el..,.l,,,,,,e 78,4155 Cdcuksovv wpau. 2 DEDICATION Hath hearty appreciation of his untiring and cheerful work in behahf of the school, we, the class of riirieteen hundred and fdty-seven dedicate our yearbook TO Iames V.

HALL, A.B., MA HEADMASTER OF THE HILL TO THE CLASS OF 1957: Wlithout lapsing into the frothy, platitudinous prose of convention, it is hard to express in a short space my thoughts and hopes for you of the class ol 1957. No generalized statement would fit any one individual of a highly individualized group. NVhat niight best be said is summed up concisely in Robert Frostis poem i'The Road Not Taken , in which the poet describes the Hnality and inevitability of the choices which must be made by each of us as he begins to fashion his own decisions. Up to this point, through no particular fault of anyone's, most of your choices have been made for you. Beyond this point they become largely yours alone. Nlore than ever, you will every day become a little more definitely, a little more irrevocably, the persons you ultimately will be. Vile hope that your years at The Hill, whether wholly successful or marked here and there with failures and disappointments, will have contributed toward your ability to make decisions. We hope that your intellectual faculties will enable you to distinguish false from true choices. Wle hope that your sense of values has reached a stature sufficient to help you distinguish the morally im- portant from the cynically unimportant. And perhaps most of all we hope that you have fortilied here what you must all have learned at home: a respect and concern for the happiness and welfare of others. As you read these lines years hence tif you dol, let it be remembered that you were once part of a school whose pride in your achievements is no less than its gratitude for your contributions to its own growth. The future, in Shakespeareis phrase, is yours: 7ll1l'7'l' is a tide in the again- of men PVl1.ielz, taken at the flood, leads on to fame and fortune, Neglected, all the voyage of their life lx bound up in .thallozus and in miseries. May yours be the flood tide! EDVVARD T. HALL 6 f FACULTY A 4 1 ,L O , 1 R R EC T G1 'Sri-1 if QXmPH'Nf V' '7' ?, .D CL FOR 8' M V - Ili- 1 ,ll I I' ' - i J an X s,: x? I l as 7 MASTERS HERBERT B.

The year 1952 saw the hallowed habitat of Meigs Invaded by such a group, headed by Prexy Beggs Mr. Arthur F. Jackson, Advisor 30 And including such stalwarts as :'Chim- neyi' Borg, Machine Nobbe, Owen, Rich, Day Boy Seldom- ridge, Ticky Simmonds, and Stifel, CQuite an eyefulj. Another insignificant neophyte Beset with an equal incipient fright Was Ned The new master Qheadj. It was this annum that Mr. Hall began his reign In the land of rain, It was this fall he took office, A complete noffice. Top scholastic honors that year went to Mr. Seldomridge. CYou make up a rhyme for that one.j 1953 Saw this form advance to form number 3, Where, under President Nobbe, The form took up a new fascinating hobby, The Third Form Pipe Club And its sub- Terranian Clandestanian Activities began to evoke Billowy clouds of illegal smoke. All sorts Of class members began to Hnd their way in the world of sports. Messrs. Waxman, Merkelbach, Harris, and McClory Were among those out in search of gridiron glory 5 Simmonds worked out on the soccer field, and Brown and Nobbe be- came front rankers For the Junior tankers. This was the year when the houses, Normally used to the pitter-patter of feet from boys whose physical size was less like elephants than mouses Wlere stomped, thumped, rocked, and pounded, As Ingram, YViley, Kelley, and com- pany romped, bumped, knocked, and sounded Like a bunch of gorillas, Shaking their dwelling to its very pillas. The fall of Hfty-four Saw more Members of the growing class Amass. Wfith Abernethy, Partridge, Drain, Hayne, And others leading the way, the form became regular subscribers to that coveted academic goalf The honor roll. Messrs. Tyrer, Eddy, and Bender, Because of their undying devotion to the third floor of the Middle School, would often engender Enough feeling of respect from their numerous galoots For several after-lights, twenty-one door salutes. Some clever young physicist discovered that a packed laundry bag swung at a wall made a wonder- Ful imitation of thunder. Furthermore, the master Could not locate the sound of cascad- ing plaster If the crime lVas committed by everyone at the same time. Speaking of plaster, there must have been all sorts Of it carted away during the Nhollow- ing outn of the new squash courts! The new music master, Mr. Tuttle, Organized the Hilltones, a group of boys Cincluding Buhler and Dienerj whose subtle Barbershop harmony a la XN'hifTenpoof Seemed to raise for maybe it was razej the roof. Robert Funkhouser, President Tyrus Porter, Vice-Pratiden! At the end of a Spring Term filled with clouds of smoke from Hre- crackers Set off by ingenious hackers, The form elected twelve members in all To represent it as the Fifth Form Com- mittee the following fall. Swelled by a few members Cincluding Huston, Blatchford, NPrince,' Al- bert, Prouty, Pschorr, etc.j sport- ing new-boy hats, The Fifth Form took up residence the next fall in Wendell and the Hats. In the realm Of sports, Wiley took over the foot- ball helm, Brown was chosen head of the cross- country team, Butcher was chosen soccer captain, and the indoor water throwing aggre- gation elected as its honorary captain, Jerome Zeem. 31 Lewis S. Wiley, Treasurer Franklin B. Hayne, Jr., Secretary Various slats Disappeared in the bannister of the flats. Some energetic members of the third and fourth floor U.

Several knives found their way into the sod Of the newly acquired Fifth Form Quad. The entire form even turned traitor In support of Mexico's newest dictator. Gus Escobedo, Class of '57, Emeritus The form reached exams and began struggling over cannons, Or maybe they were canons. The result of the struggle was that the formas re- ligious Fire Burned higher As the supply of religion text book kindling Began dwindling Such Naziish, ungentlemanly, uncalled for, immature, poor taste, out of place, unthoughtful, misdireeted, indiscreet Actions generated, amazingly enough, a certain amount of heat.

HE form returned to The Mound in the fall of 1956 minus a lew old laces. minus any poetie for attempt to be poetiel feelings, bitt with the addition of a small amount of new blood. Mahhtin jones from England. Andy Fehrm from Sweden, Sheldon Spaulding from Spain. jack Goodyear from Andover. Page Chapman from the Montreal Canadiens. Andy Biesel from the Pioneers' Athletic Club. and .lim Dana straight from the dictionary, eonstituted the only members of the form who were lucky enough to sport new-boy hats. In the extracurricular Held the form was relatively active. Cy Adams led a rather controversial, independent, and noisy NEXVS board to a very successful year. One of the most appreciated issues ol' the year. The Daily floolie. arrived in time to liven up the dance week end Cas though it needed livening upl and to antagonize the renovated Pipe Club under that most illustrious and industrious of presidents, Greg Iiorg or Gref liorl. The schools literary publication. The Record. under liruee Partridge and Mort Berkowitz of the Sixth Form. managed to make itself seen a eouple of times. On the whole. however. the l'orm's eontri- butions to this worthy magazine were only sueeessliul in providing material for pleading editorials in The NEXYS. The IJIAI, under Ty Porter started out the year with plans for a new look . Rlany radieal changes were proposed. and amazingly enough. a few were carried Otll Cas you ean seej.

In the Held of athletics the form distinguished itself on some extremely creditable teams. Lew Wfiley lead his teammates to a rather good season, the inter- national soccer team had a championship season fthe line consisted of: Simmonds, Brazil, Fehrm, Sweden, Jones, England, Escobedo, Mexico, and Captain Butcher, Main Linej, Chas Brown captainecl a good cross country team. In the winter the form placed several members on the two championship teams of wrestling and swimming as well as on the hockey and basketball teams. Academically, the form as a whole felt the pressure of trying to get into college, and it did its best to stand up to it. Some prefects like Jim Call-nightj Stack reacted in one way, others in the Hats did their best to avoid the conven- tional hazards of late-lightsfSenter, Revell, and Jackson. English notebooks pro- vided the traditional pain every list, a few lucky English classes were given the chance to improve their writing by doing term papers in the fall-this gave them a head start for the '!,: ,.'le?! -WE: QW! American History five thousand word paraphrases in the winter. The Captain was briefly baffled and befuddled by an electric coffee percolator direction slip which he found on one of his multi-daily prowls through the third floor. Whenever anything went wrong, however, he had no reason to worry, for it was then that there came 'elim Dana to the rescuen.

In what ways, however, did this year's form stand out from the other forms that have passed through The Hill? Through the pushing of The NEYVS and the work of a faculty committee, the tutorial system was inaugurated this year. Four- teen applicants out of thirty-Hve were chosen to prepare some sort of a project ranging from Livermore in Arts and Crafts, to Watson in Ancient History, to Albert in Art, to Symonds in American History. These projects were completed by May 15 and represented two terms of work by each boy with individual assist- ance given by ten different masters. A select group of Sixth Formers attempted to improve their reading skills in a special six-week class at the end of the Winter Term. Finally the Spring Term rolled around and with it came the Sixth Form Dance and the Dramatic Club presentation, Desperate Hours Qappropriate- ness?j. Sykes, McClory, Huston, Partridge, Mercier-Cointreau, and Dick Yule deserted their dates for the duration of the performance. The dance, under Chairman Buhler, was a definite success. At last there comes that time in every man's preparatory school life when he must graduate and go on to other things. Graduation Day comes and goes, and its festivities are soon forgotten. However, what it stands for, the years of work and the hidden hours of fun, remain in the forefront of one's memory. The Class of l957 has made its permanent mark on Hill School annals. Time passes and we all become alumni, from which position we take a new and different interest in the hallowed habitat of Meigsw. 35 SIXTH F ORM CYRUS H.

Mmm ? f ,W :Lisa Fgfth Form ITH the determination and spirit to do a job well, the class of '58 achieved . much in the varied fields of endeavor at The Hill. The contributions of its members to both scholastic and athletic activities advanced the prestige of the Form greatly. There was a fine sense of fair play exhibited throughout the year, as both Committee members and the Form worked together. The result of all this was a better organized and more cooperative Fifth Form. In the scholastic realm, John Brewer, Stan Medina, Chuck Porter, Stu Ludlum, and Hank Enberg led the Form, consistently placing high on the honor roll. Shortly after the beginning of the Fall Term, the 'fold boyl' Fifth Formers met to elect their officers. Sandy Mersereau led in the balloting, and Jim Detrixhe became Vice-President. The fund-handling position of Treasurer went to Hugh Corddry. In the Winter Term, the order of ofhcers was slightly changed, as Detrixhe assumed the Presidency, Corddry shifted to the Veep spot, and Mer- sereau assumed the Presidency, Corddry shifted to the Veep spot, and Mersereau became Treasurer. By virtue of their positions, these boys were members of the Student Council, advancing the suggestions of the Form. A great many Formers participated in varsity athletics during the year. . ., Captain-elect Jim Detrixhe, Bill Leek- onby, Stan Medina, Gordy Aydelott, and Jim Buck won letters in football. Notable members of the soccer team were Pete Abeson, Bill Tone, Gus Esco- bedo, and Andy McNally. Mr. Littleis cross-country squad was aided by Fred Stericker, who was elected as next year's Captain. Returning team mem- bers will be Jim Moore, Nick Parks, and Stoney Duffey. VVinter sports had equally high rep- resentation from the Fifth Formers. Bill Leckonby led the varsity basketball team in scoring, and was responsible for much of the success on the court. Stu Ludlum, Bill Jackson, Gordy Ayde- lott, Hugh Corddry, and Jim Biggs all won positions on the squad. Varsity wrestling was aided greatly by Danny Dyer, jim Detrixhe, Sandy Mersereau, nm Charley Ellis, Steve Trott, and Key MR. D. H. MERCER. mlzvism- 103 FIFTH FORM COMMITTEE Seated: Corddry. H..

The near-invincible eastern Inter-Scholastic Champions in swimming had the outstanding performances of Colonel Griffin, Bob Kaufmann, and Bryan Williams. These three, along with Charley Brown of the Sixth Form, lowered the Qprep recordj in the 200 yard medley relay. Tim Martin and John Oliver also found well-earned places on the squad. Varsity hockey team mem- bers were Jim Buck, Bill Tone, Jim Conger, and Trum Curtiss. In winter track, Jack Downing, Albie Maurice, and Stan Medina represented the Form ably, the former two running on the six- and eight-lap relay team, the latter in the hurdles and shot put. Other extra-curricular activities such as the Glee Club and Hill Tones were participated in by talented Formers. Ken Sutherland, Mike Brown, John Oliver, and Rod Day were on the Wlinter Term Dance Committee. Elected Chairman of next year's News was Stan Medina, who will be assisted by Bill Epler, Charley Steger, Stu Ludlum, Bill Harris, Jack Graves, and Don VVilliams. The Record, the school literary magazine, was contributed to largely by Gary Audette, Charley Steger, and Chuck Porter, all members of the Board. Parts in this year,s Dra- matic Club production, uThe Desperate Hoursn, were won by Albie Maurice and Hank Enberg, both new boys. Jack Graves, a member of last year's club, has a leading role. Prominent in the Debating Club were Tom Hayward, Steve 'l'rott, and Hank Enberg. 104 Y! 1 N xx K -,:f.5fGiiL V xv -xy ll' gum. A 1 L-1 1 ' w W w 5 I fp M I 4 W5 .3 f ' ,,, .

Fourth Form HE class of '59 turned in an excellent showing this year, their achievements suggesting the probability of fine fifth and sixth form years. Leading the class in the academic role, were Rose, Perry, Johnson, Burnett, Von Helms, Gates, and Armentrout. The Fall Term elections established Charles Frank in the Presidential position, and Alexander Armentrout and Fred Bjorck were placed in the Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer slots, respectively. The Winter Term brought some changes, Frank and Armentrout switched positions, and Don Rose became the Secretary-Treasurer. With good representation on nearly every varsity squad, the form put out an excellent crop of athletes telling of good varsities in the future. Two sonho- mores broke the barrier and played on the starting team in soccer 5 C. Von Helms and Pete Keeney saw action, the latter being elected captain of next year's team, an honor for a Fourth Former. On the J.V. squad, Elliot, Butcher, McFadden, Foehl, Frank, Winthrop, and Paine were the form members of note. Though the varsity squad of football didn't have any members of the class of '59 on it, several boys were outstanding in Far Fieldls action. Andre, Babcock, Crawford, Galloway, Glenn, Shennan, and Wildman were but a few of the better players, with Barron Weeks vot- ed the most outstanding, and being nf awarded the Far Fields Award. Cross Country was also well stocked with sophomore runners, Bruce Mil- ler, lNfIike Edgar and Ken Stiles being on the squad. Meanwhile, the Far Fields was seeing good soccer in Snive- ly, Hnat and Haag, who, with the J.Vfs, were looking to the future. The YNinter Term was plenteous in varsity athletes, boys of the class of ,59 on every team. In the new wrestling build- ing, Toby Burnett and Pete Jones were doing good jobs, while, on the adjoining ice, George Knapp and Jim Babcock were helping out the puck- sters. The swimming team had its share also, Rick Bjorck, Chris Stack, Don Rose, Barron Weeks, and Gress Le- Maistre splashed their way to honors in the water. On the basketball court, r Pete Keeney did another fine job, with Andre and Frank bringing up the J.V. MR. DONALD H.

Mr. Ralph R. Richard is again advising both forms as he has for the past few years and he has been a great help to the boys, most of whom are in their first year here. Standing out scholastically in the Second Form were Jamie Moffatt, John Clarke and Ricky Ayer, who were constantly on the Hrst honor roll. Representing the Third Form on the list were Jeremy Medina, Bill Daly, Bill Akins, Jim Cherry, and William Coulson. These boys promise a high Hill School standard in their fixture years here. The Second Form, because of its size, only elected officers twice during the year, while the Third Form had elections at the be- ginning of each term. James Bollman had the presidential duty of the Second Form for the first half year, while Phil Grantham served as vice-president. The Form president for the rest of the year was Jamie Moffatt, while Karl Benkwith acted as vice-president. The Third Form president in the Fall Term was Bill Donald-Hill, while Pete Melrose held down the vice-presidential slot. The Winter Term saw Bill Akins as president, with Jim Cherry as his aide. These boys represented their respective forms on the student council. Both forms also proved to be inclined toward athletics and showed potential of good teams in the future. The Fall Term saw Third Formers Minor Davis and Steve Crane represent the school on the J.V. cross-country and soccer teams, respectively, while Terry Moul- ton, Whit Beebe, Tom Rogers, Pete Smith, and George Kellner, were show- ing good form representation on the Far Fields. Tom Hutton, Bill Donald- Hill and Sloan lVIcBurney were making a good name for the school on the soccer Held. The Winter Term again saw Davis in the spotlight, as he and Jack Moberly represented the Third Form on the varsity swimming squad, while Second Former Jamie Moffatt, Whit Beebe, and George Kellner were J.V. grapplers, and Hutton and Jim Klauder were making names for them- selves on the ice.

From that 4'Dark Age until the present day this competition has grown until now the apex of every sporting season at both institutions is the contest between their respective teams. The tradition of this rivalry is in the emotional fervor of the night-before pep rallyg it is heard as the students of both schools march onto the football field to cheer their opponents and attempt to outcheer each otherg it is in the object of gleeful recollection of every graduateg and it is certainly in the hard-fought games themselves. This intangible schoolboy pride is school spirit. It is the will to win that enables one team to down the other in a sporting contest. When the teams from The Hill and Lawrenceville, as poised juggernauts, meet each other on the athletic grounds, past records of the squad are as worth- less scraps of paper. It is the personal feeling of determination to win, for the school and for the teammates, and the support given by every member of the student body that decides the outcome between two evenly matched teams. The day came, clear, sunny and nippy. It was Saturday, November ten, the last day of fall sports and an ideal day to test the strength of three well trained teams from each school. A deceiving quiet settled over the Hill campus, a tension much like the one that must have fallen over Pompeii before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. It was almost as if the population had a presentiment of what was to come. At one thirty an excited horde of spectators arrived from New Jersey. A Hill student exclaimed, The Philistines be upon usf' Much stronger than Sampsons, the forces they came, They charged and clouted and left The Hill maim. On the vast reaches of Kaul Field, two soccer squads engaged in battle. The Lawrenceville team was the first to penetrate the well-protected fortifications. The tally came as a shock, for it had begun to look as if it were an impossible task to drive the leather ball past Hill's goalie Willie Spencerfs alert reach. That afternoon the impossible happened only once. With dogged determination the Hill forces rallied, and with less than a minute remaining in the half, center forward Ticky Simmonds caught the bounc- ing ball in his instep and guided the missile into the right-hand corner of the cage. Once again the forces were tied. For another thirty minutes the teams attacked and countered up and down the field only to be thwarted each time by impregnable defences. The final whistle sounded, and the gallant warriors stopped Fighting, cheered each other and went to the Dell field to watch the football game. The encounter had ended in a draw. A few minutes after the soccer contest had ended, preparations were made for the commencement of the football game. Cheerleaders from both schools raced across the field bearing stretchers which contained dummies dressed in the garb of their opponents, and the oldest member of the Hill family, Willis, held the bloody Lawrenceville skull. The Hill's captain, Lew VViley, met Lawrence- villeis co-captains Bruce Maclntyre and Frank Roeser at midfield. Lawrenceville won the toss of the coin and elected to receive. The starting elevens for both schools were prepped and ran onto the field. 127 ATHLETICS As the Blue and Gray unit prepared to kick off, they hardly expected the fate that awaited them. Before the game was over their captain, their center, and their left guard would be sidelined with injuries. When their captain was taken out of the game, the team was without its southern general who had constantly encouraged his team and had been inspiring them for the last three years. The Hill team attempted to rally and stop the flood of speedy backs, but the Red and Black line pounded open holes with precise determination. The gridiron tradition had been extended to its Fifty-third contest between Hill and Lawrenceville. The army of the Blue and Gray battled in vain to assail the impervious great stone wall that marked the entrance to the sacred Lawrenceville territory. The invading forces, sparked by Bruce Maclntyre effec- tively utilized a basic military strategy, to concentrate the attack on one side of the enemyas Hank, until it is so weakened as to render the men helpless to hold back the second line of attack. By mixing this tactic with a very powerful aerial warfare to spread out the defences, the Jerseyites were able to pound out a 20-0 victory. Another Hill-Lawrenceville game had come and gone. Lawrenceville's talent in cross country was also too much for Hill as another injury-riddled team fell to the Red and Black. Only Charlie Brown maintained a little prestige for The Hill by capturing first place. The final score was 23-32, Lawrenceville. The Philistines retired victorious. The Winter Term came, it grew colder, snow fell. As the days began to lengthen, and the end of winter was in sight, the New Jersey and Pennsylvania rival schools contended on the wrestling mats, in the swimming pool, on the basketball court, and on the hockey rink. The hockey team lost twice, each time by a 2-1 score, but the remaining Hill teams all pounded, downed, or drowned their Red and Black adversaries to make the two term tally three-three and one tie. . It is not unusual for Hill wrestling to defeat Lawrenceville. In fact, it would be revolutionary if they didn't defeat them. There were no revolutions in the vicinity of the newly-erected wrestling room on Dance Weekend. A Blue and Gray unit that was later to have five Interscholastic Champions found little -5 it 5 2 1.1 A s as 1 gzpssieezasieie-wasrsaxz ammwn nm.-www-W :ze axxassssweat-.mewfg asv-wee'-fwsi2wwW ws wg gm . -3 K 2 1 f w ' ,e, L .

It is unusual for a Hill basketball team to defeat the always-strong Law- renceville team. Paced by Bill Leckon- by, Dick Merkelbach, and Mike uAp- pendicitisu Dorsey, Jim Stack's en- thused team shocked a powerful and confident Lawrenceville five into a 51-47 submission. It was the first time in live years that the Hill had defeated the Red and Black in basketball. The wailing and gnashing of teeth that Saturday in miniature tiger town was only an aftermath of the previous week's bitter defeat of Lawrenceville's glorious swimming team. By taking the final relay, the Hillis Eastern Inter- scholastic Championship group ran off with a 41-36 win. The story of these two meets is one that will be remembered for some time to come. Not once, but twice the Blue and Gray mermen finished these contests in typical Frank Merriwell style by capturing the last event from Lawrenceville, and with it, the meet. In both instances it was the freestyle relay unit, which, with the final outcome depending on their performance, churned to victory over the Red and Black four. In both the dual-meet with L'ville and in the Interscholastics one week later a Hill relay team broke the school record. Against Lawrenceville it was the freestyle-relay standard which was erased, and the next week the medley relay unit establishd a new record in that event. The Hill's win in the Interscholastics and in basketball on the same day brought to an end, for another year at least, the winter competition between the two schools. The outcome of these two contests, so far as the Blue and Gray was concerned, had not nearly been so disastrous as the final tabulation of those of the preceding term. Memories from the last Spring Term linger also. And the feats of two athletes overshadow all other remembrances of the contests between The Hill and Lawrenceville. John Reynolds of the Red and Black and Bill Leckonby of the Blue and Gray were probably the two most outstanding performers in the field of Spring sports. Twice did Leckonby pitch the Hill baseball team to victories over the Jersey- ites, gaining for the batmen the only Blue and Gray wins over Lawrenceville during the spring. Only once before, in 1943, had any pitcher been credited with two victories over the Red and Black in one year. Alex Revell is the other person who holds this honor. A year ago Lawrenceville defeated The Hill twice in golf, twice in tennis, and once in track, while the Blue b-ball unit dropped L'ville twice. With only the Spring Term encounters of this year remaining on the schedule, seven more contests are slated between the different sporting teams of these two schools. It is with eager anticipation that The Hill awaits these remaining battles, for they will decide which campus will house the triumphant teams in the traditional free-for-all. 129 Football OR the fourth straight season, The Hill School Football team, under the able guidance of Coach Frank Bissell, won more than they lost, as the 1956 edition compiled a creditable live and two slate. Featuring a strong line, and a fast, but relatively inexperienced backfield, The Hill had the misfortune to reach their peak a week early against Peddie, and consequently lose to Lawrenceville for the first time since 1952. Severely hampered by the loss of Captain and left tackle Lew Wiley, injured in an early season scrimmage, the Blue and Gray opened the season away against Woodberry Forest. Running out of a split-T and belly series, The Hill scored twice in the second quarter, and once in the third, to upend their hosts 20-6. After halting an early Woodberry threat, quarterback Bill Leckonby and his mates moved the ball to the enemy one, where senior fullback Don Gorriere drove over. Minutes later, Leckonby sneaked over from the one, and early in the third stanza, Gorriere tallied on another short plunge to ice the game. Dave Black, one of the nine returning lettermen, converted after the second and third scores. Next, on October 6, The Hill stretched their three-year winning streak to ten games, as they toppled the defending Interacademic League champs from Penn Charter, 19-6, away again from home. Scatback Clif Smith sparked the visitors' attack with two touchdowns while Leckonby added a third. After Leckonby had scored from the one to climax a seventy-yard march, Smith gathered in a second-quarter punt, and with good blocking, sped eighty yards for a touchdown. The final Hill touchdown came on a forty-yard scoring pass from Leckonby to Smith, midway in the third period. In their best game before the Hill student body, the Blue and Gray had their hopes of a second undefeated season dashed by a hard-fighting Mercers- burg aggregation. Mercersburg's spirited backfield put together the gameis only extended march, after receiving the second-half kickoff, and converted the point-after-touchdown attempt to edge The Hill, 7-6. The Hill had tallied in the opening minutes of the second quarter on a sixty-yard aerial from Leckonby to Smith. A week later the Blue and Gray got back to their winning ways, by beating a surprisingly touch Williamson Trade unit, 19-2. Corriere, Smith, and Bob Funkhouser scored, while the rugged forward wall of Jim Kelley, John Wynne, Hank Ingram, Jim Buck, Gordy Aydelott, and Stan Medina stopped their opponents three times inside the six-yard line. On October 27, Blair succumbed to a late Hill drive, 13-7, in a game reminiscent of the previous yearls Lawrence- ville thriller. Gorriere scored both touchdowns on short fourth-down line bucks, the last capping an eighty-seven-yard drive with eleven seconds left to be played in the game. The following week The Hill played their best game of the season as they trampled a highly rated Peddie eleven, 40-14. Halfback Pete Buhler, who was filling in for the injured Jim Detrixhe and Smith, broke away for three touch- down jaunts. With Peddie leading 7-6 in the opening stanza, Buhler ripped oh' 130 THE DIAL 195 7 - 4 3 E. V VARSITY FOOTBALL LETTERMEN Front row: Buck, Black. Wiley. Funkhouser. Smith.

Corriere, Black, and Funkhouser each tallied once, and Black booted four extra points. Thus, The Hill entered the Lawrenceville game boasting a Hve and one record. Lawrenceville, led by their evasive tailback Bruce Maclntyre, employed the unbalanced Princeton single-wing attack to great advantage, as they scored three minutes after the game began, and were in control all the way to win 20-0 against an injury-ridden foe. During the first half Merklinger, Wiley, and Buck all had to be replaced, while backs Detrixhe and Smith were unable to play due to previously incurred injuries. For The Hill, Kelley was outstanding in the line, while Corriere broke away on several long dashes, in which one more block would have sent him touchdown bound. It was not, however, The Hillls day, that ended a winning yet disappointing season, Five lettermen will return next year. In the backfield will be Captain Detrixhe and quarterback Leckonby, while in the line will be Buck, Aydelott, and Medina. 131 'I I I 1 I E I I ?

Messrs. Morgan and Cowperthwaite's team, composed of Captain Mac Butcher and three other returning lettermen, and reinforced by two foreign students, was one of the school's best, netting a total of twenty eight tallies in thirteen games for a near record in that department. The Blue and Gray got off to a good start in the opening contest, by down- ing visiting Perkiomen by a 11--O count. Ticky Simmonds put the home team out in front quickly with a goal in the first frame and added another in the second. Martin Jones, the English Exchange student, clinched the contest with two more tallies in the third stanza. After being shutout 2-0 by an aggressive Upper Darby contingent, the squad travelled to Haverford where it pulled off a 2-1 victory with Butcher breaking a 1-1 tie with four minutes to play. Anders Fehrm, the Swedish Exchange student, scored the first Hill goal. On Saturday, the sixth of October, the Morganmen ventured to far-away Mercersburg, where they met and upended a strong team, 4-O, on an overcast, rainy day. All the booters could salvage for three quarters was a lone tally by Martin jones which didn't indicate Hill's dominance. In the fourth frame, how- ever, the line exploded with Jones, Fehrm, and Jonathan von Helms denting the twines. Wfith the fine work of Bill Abernethy and Pete Abeson, plus the excellent job of goal tending by Bill Spencer, the Blue and White of Central Pennsylvania were constantly frustrated in their efforts to break into the scoring column. The next Wednesday The Hill played host to George School, and upped its record to 4-1 by edging out their opponents, 1-O in a mediocre contest. Both teams went scoreless until Martin Jones broke the deadlock midway in the final stanza. A strong Lehigh Freshmen team invaded the home Held the follow- ing Saturday, and with a tally in the closing seconds of the game settled for a 2-2 tie. The brown-clad freshmen, outclassed throughout the contest, managed to break a half-time scoreless deadlock and pushed over their first score. The Morganmen bounded back as Jones took a corner kick by Butcher and spotted it into the twines. With six minutes to play in the game, The Hill came up with its second counter as Andy McNally headed a deflected corner kick between the goal post and the oncharging goalie. The certain victory was foiled, when, with the fullbacks pulled out of position, the visiting center drove the sphere past the outstretched arms of Spencer. The next week was a successful one for the booters as they grabbed two victories to bring their record to 6-1-1. Playing superb ball, the Blue and Gray came up with its first win of the week by downing Penn Frosh, 3-1. Fehrm, Jones, and Butcher each tallied for the home forces. In the next game, Penn State-Ogontz Center, an inexperienced but rugged squad, held The Hill to one tally, but could not score themselves. Captain Butcher pushed the ball across early in the first stanza for the lone Hill marker. The half-back line of Pete 134 THE DIAL 195 7 VARSITY SOCCER LETTERMEN Sitting: Fehrm, Simmonds, Butcher.

Keeney, John Stack, and Bill Tone played brilliantly as a defensive unit and broke up many drives throughout the contest. On Thursday, October 25th, Haverford College V. visited the home field, and with two scores in the last five minutes, managed a two to two tie. Fehrm and Butcher scored in the first and fourth frames, respectively, for The Hill. Two days later, The Hill booters upped its record to 7-1-2 by routing Blair Academy 5-O. It was a game played on a muddy field, and the Blue and Gray team played well, and held the upper hand throughout the contest. Andy McNally, Ticky Simmonds, Fehrm, and Butcher provided the scores for Mr. Morgan's squad while an enemy fullback deflected one in the fifth. The final three games of the season were unsuccessful in that they produced no wins while tying two and losing one. In the Hrst skirmish, The Hill played its best opposition of the season and went down to defeat to West Chester V. by a four to one score. Martin Jones provided the only home tally and it came early in the first stanza. They scored one in the first half, and three in the second. After a 2-2 tie against Peddie, The Hill met the Red and Black from Lawrence- ville and played its best game of the season. Simmonds scored the only Hill tally in the hard fought 1-1 contest. 135 E 5 Q -W k 1 Yxucheci Qoahe latc This gn tl mr, fu 25.

Mr. Clifford C. Little, in his third year as head coach, piloted the squad which, throughout the season, showed great spirit and determination. In their season's debut The Hill runners got off to a successful start by stomping the Penn Freshmen 19-44. Captain Brown led his teammates to the victory by capturing first. Penn then took second, but a fiood of eight Hill men followed to take the meet. Leading the group was John Zillhardt who was followed by Norm Prouty, Bruce Miller, Andy Biesel, Fred Stericker, Rusty Wight, Stan Bell, and Stoney Dufifey in that order. A week later the team met a very strong Mercersburg Academy squad and was defeated 33-22. The visitoris first man, Evans, set a course record in winning the race in a fast 10:55. His teammate, Russ, was second, pursued closely by Hillis Charlie Brown. Norm Prouty and John Zillhardt of Hill ran fine races taking fifth and sixth respectively. Mercersburg, however, put four men across the take in front of Blue and Gray runners Andy Biesel and Hager Bryant, who took ninth and tenth slots to complete the Hill scoring. The Lafayette Freshmen were next to test the Hill Harriers and fell by 23-32 on the Hill course. Brown of Hill overtook Lafayette's Haines in the last fifty yards of the race, and sprinted to first place in a close finish. A Lafayette man took third, but The Hill clinched the meet by following him with most of the squad. The avalanche was made up by John Zillhardt, Andy Biesel, Fred Stericker, Norm Prouty, Nick Parks, Mike Edgar, Don LeStage, Jim Moore, and Stan Bell. The Hill Thinclads went on the road for their next appearance. They faced a very good Blair Academy team on the host's short, 1.9 mile course. Lebhar of Blair won the race in an outstanding time, with Hill Captain Brown second. The Blairmen took the next three positions, before Hillers, John Zillhardt, and Bruce Miller, crossed the tape in a tie for sixth. Blair then put across a foursome, which was followed by Hill's Norm Prouty and Fred Stericker who placed twelfth hand in hand. The final score found Hill on the heavy end of a 34-21 count. The following week The Hill squad journeyed to Peddie and brought home their third win of the season by a convincing 20-35 score. Lunsford of Peddie took first, but was followed over the finish line by three Hill men, Charlie Brown, John Zillhardt, and Bruce Miller, who tied for second. Andy Biesel and Norm Prouty completed the Hill scoring by taking fifth and sixth places to secure the victory. Fred Stericker and Jim Stack followed them closely in eighth and ninth slots for The Hill. On a cold November afternoon the Blue and Gray closed its season with powerful Lawrenceville. Posting his best time of the 1956 campaign, Captain Brown of Hill led the field by thirty-five yards to gain the individual honors of the meet. His teammates were not to fare as well, however, since only Bruce Miller was able to gain fourth while six Red and Black runners poured across the line. Norm Prouty led the remaining Hill pointmen by taking ninth. Fred 138 THE DIAL 195 7 VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY LETTERMEN Q First row: Miller, B., Prouty, Zillhardt, Brown, Capt. Second row: Sterickcr, Stcgcr, Mgr., Biesel. Stericker and Andy Biesel followed closely taking the fourth and fifth positions in the Hill scoring. The Jerseyites took the victory 23-32. Much credit must be given to the lettermen of this team who throughout the season showed fine sportsmanship and always ran with the determination to win. The senior lettermen were Captain Charles Brown, returning lettermen Norm Prouty, first year runner John Zillhardt, and sixth form new boy Andy Biesel. The remaining letttermen were fifth former Fred Stericker and fourth former Bruce Miller. Captain-elect Stericker and Miller will form the nucleus of the 1957 team. Mr. Little feels that the future of cross country at the Hill is good. He will be counting heavily on the underform members of this year's squad. Those showing the most promise were Nick Parks, Mike Edgar, Stoney Duffy, and Ken Stiles all of whom saw a good deal of varsity action this season. This returning material plus the noted increase in interest in the sport seem to support Mr. Little's prediction. The largest group in the history of cross country at The Hill made up the squad this year. For the past three years The Hill Harriers have improved their season's record. Looking forward to the 1957 season the prospect of approaching a championship team is bright. 139 5 x f x 'MK K Sf Jr -fr . X YT. 1545 WWW . Q ' ' Q 1,bA, ' ,::rp.g, pu gf -'-,i.,g . 217' N' .

Also, for the first time in half a decade The Hill topped Lawrenceville as Coach Don Ronnie's charges took the measure of their perennial foes 51-47. The same starting five opened almost every game for the Blue and Gray as they played out of a 1-3-1 or a 2-1-2 zone defense. At the three out-side positions were two seniors Captain Jim Stack and Jim Harper plus season high scorer Bill Leckonby. Under the boards, Bill Jackson and Mike Dorsey operated with Dick Merkelbach filling in when either was out of action. Lawrenceville was the big game for the Hill Hve as they entered the contest with a six up, seven down slate. Paced by Leckonby and Captain Stack, the visiting Hillers raced to an early 11-2 lead only to have the Red and Black narrow the count to 26-25. Dorsey and Stack were equal to the occasion, however, and led a 7-1 splurge that gave The Hill a comfortable seven point spread at halftime. Throughout the last half The Hill was always in command as Leckonby led the Blue-clad scorers with 15 points. On January 9, the Blue and Gray opened up their season on the road against Haverford. the Interac title-holders. Playing erratically The Hill bowed 46-43 after holding a 22-15 halftime advantage. Harper and Leckonby paced the Hill attack with 17 and 14 markers respectively. Three days later, in the home opener, Captain Stack and his mates encountered but slight opposition from Williamson Trade as they smashed the visitors 54-23. The only Hiller in double figures was Leckonby with 11. A tremendous second half surge carried The Hill to their second victory as they overcame an eleven point deficit to upend Valley Forge M.A., 54-50. Harper led the way with 18 points as Leckonby followed with 11 aided by Jackson and Keeney with eight each. In their next two outings The Hill played perhaps their worst ball of the year. First, Blair, on their diminutive court, humbled The Hill 80-52, then an inferior Germantown Academy quintet outplayed their taller adversaries, 49-39. In their next outing The Hill showed signs of developing into a powerful aggregation although they bowed to Mercersburg 60-57. Trailing 31-16 The Hill caught fire as Leckonby and subs Gordie Aydelott and Dick Merkelbach pulled their mates in front 54-52 only to have the vistors come back in the final seconds to win. Leckonby, who hit for 15 markers against Mercersburg, kept right on going against powerful Temple High scoring 29 points in a 57-42 Hill victory. Next, powerful Peddie, who went 17-1 on the year, invaded the Hill expect- ing easy going against the Blue and Gray who boasted a three and four slate. In a real thriller, the visitors who averaged 6' 4 eked out a 68-61 overtime win. Leckonby led all scorers with 26 while Dorsey excelled under the boards. On February 6, Muhlenberg Frosh handed The Hill their second straight setback 61-39 as the visitors dominated both backboards. The following Saturday the Blue and Gray started their resurge by defeating 142 THE DIAL 195 7 VARSITY BASKETBALL LETTERMEN Front row: Harper, Lcckonby, Stack, Ludlum, Aydelott.

Next, The Hill with Jackson, Dorsey and Hager Bryant completely outrebounding their opponents, beat surprisingly tough Penn State Ogontz Center 60-54. Junior pivotman Jackson starred as he collected 20 points while Dorsey had 16 and Leckonby chipped in with 15. On Dance Weekend the Blue and Gray succumbed to their own poor foul shooting and fell before Gettysburg J.V. 47-46. Captain Stack with 11 played outstanding time and again rallying his mates with sparkling plays both offen- sively and defensively. Foul shooting determined the next game also, but this time The Hill made their clutch charity tosses to edge Perkiornen 52-50, and set the stage for the victorious journey to Lawrenceville. Following the conquest of the Red and Black, The Hill ran into rough opposition and bowed to West Chester Frosh 59-44, after trailing but by 37-34 with nine minutes remaining. Leckonby and junior guard Stu Ludlum were high men with 14 and 10 points apiece. Faced with the prospect of once again finishing under .500, the b-ballers went out and upset Gettysburg Frosh, the conqueror of two teams that had beaten The Hill, 54-51. Bryant, one of the three returning lettermen, paced the attack with 12 points while Ludlum iced the game from the foul line, with two in the final minute. 143 ,pf X xv J eifexg is f ,W fp fx if intet Tops Valley F Closing Minn 5 nniemenOverpower mple H.

The grapplers at the end of the season also traveled to Lehigh and com- pletely dominated the Lehigh Interscholastics for its ninth straight win in that department. The Blue and Gray began the season by avenging its last yearis loss to Upper Darby, 32-12. Bob Chappell at 105, Danny Dyer at 114, and Captain Don Corriere at 157, scored pins for the home forces while Charlie Ellis, 135, Steve Trott, 140, Jim Detrixhe, 147, john Wynne, 167, and Sandy Mersereau at 122, all scored decisions. The following Saturday the home squad, led by the falls of Chappell, Dyer, and Corriere, overcame a 14-13 deficit after seven matches to top a rugged Lower Merion aggregation, 27-14. Detrixhe, Wynne, Mersereau, and Bill Fox also de- cisioned for the Blue and Gray. The next opponent to give the Bissellmen a try in the new wrestling room was Blair. The Hill wrestlers completely dominated the match and the Blairmen left for home with narry a point. Everybody on the squad pinned except Mersereau, who almost downed his man three times in his 5-0 decision. The final score was 48-0. Seven days later The Hill matmen triumphed over a visiting Mercersburg unit and chalked up its fourth straight win of the season. Nine ofthe grapplers were victorious in the 35-3 romp. Dyer, Trott, Detrixhe, and Captain Corriere scored falls for the home forces. This year, it should be noted, the lower weights which were the real weakness last year, are a strong point on the squad and made many a victory possible. One week later the Blue and Gray wrestlers traveled to Mepham, where the host team handed The Hill its first and only loss of the season. Mepham, boosting an undefeated season this year, and also winner of eighteen straight, won all but three bouts in its 21-9 victory. The Hill victors were Jim Detrixhe, Captain Don Corriere, and John Wynne. With the exception of two Hill men, all the others were completely outclassed by Mepham and decisioned by fairly high counts. The Hill wrestlers needed no moral support two weeks later from the capacity Dance Week End crowd as they thoroughly whipped this year's edition of Lawrenceville's grappling team, 35-3. Bob Chappell, Danny Dyer, Don Corriere, and John Wynne scored pins for the Blue and Gray in upping their seasons record to Five wins and one setback. The only victor for the Red and Black was Don Mills who decisioned 141 pounder Kent Frazier. Others who added three points in The Hill win were Jerry Stowell, Key Moore, Charlie Ellis, Jim Kelley, and Jim Detrixhe. One week after the Lawrenceville encounter, the once defeated squad took on Easton High School at Easton in a night meet. The result was the team's seventh victory by a 30-11 count.

In the final meet of the season, the grapplers traveled to Northampton to take on Northampton High in a night aHair. Registering falls for the home forces were Toby Burnett, who had earlier tied his man in an exhibition meet, and Danny Dyer. Also taking decisions for The Hill in the 28-9 triumph were Chappell, Mersereau, Detrixhe, Corriere, Wlynne, and Fox. With the regular season at a close, Mr. Bissellys wrestlers had a week to sharpen up on techniques and holds in preparation for the ever important Lehigh Interscholastics Tournament. At the completion of the Friday night bouts all Hill entries had advanced into the semi-finals, Those Hill contestants were Bob Chappell, VVilliam Dyer, Sandy Mersereau, Charlie Ellis, Steven Trott, Kent Fraizer, Jim Detrixhe, Don Corriere, John Wynne, and Bill Fox. With the exception of Fox, who garnered a third, all the other Hill Wrestlers arrived in the finals. Vlhen the tournament finally came to a close on Saturday night, Hve grapplers had emerged victorious in their divisions. Chappell captured the 106 pound class, Dyer and Mersereau became champs for the second straight year in the 115 and 123 classes respectively. Detrixhe grabbed the 148 pound class, and Wlynne gained his second crown also by taking the 168 pound champion- ship.

The varsity team completed its season in fine style by capturing the Eastern Interscholastic Swimming Championship for the first time in its history, defeating its bitter rival, Lawrenceville, by four points. . Captain Charlie Brown performed well all season and was aided by return- ing lettermen Nick Nobbe, Norm Willock, and Colonel Griffin. Others who received their varsity letters this season were Pete Peterson, Norm Rosen, Frank Richardson, captain-elect for 1958 Bob Kaufmann, Bryan Williams, John Oliver, Tim Martin, Gress LeMaistre, Rick Bjorck, Don Rose, Chris Stack, and Minor Davis. The Hillers opened their season on December 1 by defeating the Penn Freshmen 51-26 in Cunningham Pool. Williams, Griffin, Nobbe, Kaufmann, and Brown gained individual victories, with Griffin breaking the school record, which he had set the previous year, and the pool record in the 100 yard butter- fly with a 1:02.8 clocking. A second new record came when newboy Bob Kauf- mann broke the school and pool records in the 150 yard individual medley with a 1:35.7. After returning from Christmas vacation, the aquamen won their second meet of the young season sinking Princeton Frosh 62-15. Williams, Griflin, Kauf- mann, Brown, and Norm Rosen won their respective events. Griffin lowered his own record in the 100 yard butterfly. His time was 1:02.2. Princeton was able to gain one first place, while Oliver, Nobbe, Stack, Willock, Martin, and the two winning relays teams swam well. Lehigh Freshmen were to be the next victims of Mr. Pratt,s squad. They fell to The Hill team by 57-20. The Hill captured all but one first place, with Grifhn and Kaufmann again lowering their records. Grifiin recorded a 1:02.0 in the 100 yard butterfly and Kaufmann dropped his own 150 yard individual medley record from 1:35.7 to 1:34.6. The mermen captured their fourth victory of the season as they swamped a Frankford High School squad 66-11. Nobbe won two events while Brown, Kaufmann, Martin, and LeMaistre each added five points to the scoreboard. Frank Brunell, swimming for the visitors, set a new pool record in the 100 yard butterfly splashing to a 58.7.

Colonel Griffin established a National Interscholastic Record for the 100 yard orthodox breaststroke with a 1 :05.8 clocking. The individual winners were Brown, Nobbe, Peterson, Kaufmann, and Griffin. Both Hill relays won easy victories. The Blue and Gray then travelled to York High School and barely edged them 39-38. The meet was very exciting and the teams well matched. Griffin again lowered the record in the 100-yard butterfly with a 1 :01.4. Other individual winners were Nick Nobbe, Bob Kaufmann, and Charlie Brown, Griffin also won the 150 yard individual medley. 150 THE DIAL 195 7 at f' H . .fy VARSITY SWIMMING LETTERMEN Front row: Rosen, Griflin, Peterson, Williams, Brown, C.

Ghalking up their eighth straight victory, the mermen dropped a Peddie team 63-14 a week later in the Peddie Pool. The Hillers then journeyed to Hotchkiss for a triangular meet with Yale Freshmen and Hotchkiss. Hotchkiss fell easily but Yale emerged victorious 61- 59-16. Bob Kaufmann won two, while Williams and Griffin won one. Kaufmann lowered his individual medley record to 1:33.7. A week later the aquamen met Lawrenceville in the Lavino Pool. For the second year, The Hill came out on top 41-36. Bob Kaufmann set a new school record in the 100 yard backstroke with a 1:01.0 clocking. The 200 yard freestyle relay of Brown, Williams, Nobbe, and Kaufmann also broke the school record in 1:34.4. Individual winners for The Hill were Griffin winning two, Kaufmann, and Brown. Lavino Pool was the scene for the annual Interscholastics. The Blue and Gray gained only one first place with Willock, Griffin, Stack, and Brown winning the 200 yard medley in 1:49.8. Williams, Grifhn, Kaufmann, Nobbe, and Rosen performed well. The Hill triumphed with 45 points. Kaufmann, Williams, Brown, Griffin, and Nobbe then journeyed to Trenton and, combining their talents into two relays, brought back two fine trophies to The Hill. The next week a medley relay team of Kaufmann, Griffin, Williams, and Brown broke the National Prep School record in the 200 yard medley relay with an outstanding 1:44.8 clocking. 151 HZ if 5 32 ,ky E ii E i r!

The team, aided by coach Hall and assistants Ellis and Revell, improved steadily through the season, and ended as a very experienced, well-coached team. Aided by newcomers, Paige Chapman and Anders Fehrm, and veterans, 'fMoose McClory and Captain Bill Spencer, the squad began practice right after Thanksgiving preparing for their all-important annual contest with St. Marks, on December 31 in Madison Square Garden. The team showed surprising promise as they worked hard through the remaining days of the fall term. And as the term closed, the team was as ready as possible for the New York Contest. The first line was composed of Fehrm at center and Butt and Buck in the wings. Holding down the defensive positions were Tone and Spencer. The second line consisted of Curtiss, Conger, and Rouse, while the third line had Cointreau, Williams, and Knapp. The defense was backed up by LeStage and Chapman. The ever-dependable McClory was in charge of the twines. The St. Marks sextet proved a little too strong for the Blue and Gray, how- ever, and the men from Hill ended up on the short end of a 2-1 score. The game was marked by aggressive back-checking and fancy stick handling. At the end of the first period with Jim Buck serving a penalty for McClory, the St. Marks- men scored. The second period was dominated by The Hill skaters but ended scoreless. Early in the third period, St. Marks scored again, and Fehrm's lone tally was in vain. Much credit goes to McClory for an outstanding performance in the nets. On Saturday, January 12, The Hill romped over the Morristown School, 8-0. Andy Fehrm and Rody Williams led The Hill to victory, scoring three and two goals respectively. The Blue and Gray took the puck from the first face-off and relinquished it only sparingly the rest of the game. The following Wednes- day, The Hill bowed to a strong Princeton six, 7-1. The Hill men put up a strong battle, but the frosh were too much. Trum Curtiss tallied the only goal. Although playing hard and fast, the Hill dropped a tough game to the Red and Black of L'Ville on Saturday, January 19. Anders Fehrm scored the only Hill marker, and McClory was again outstanding. Avenging their defeat, The Hill swamped Trinity Pawling on the 26th, by the score of 5-1. The new line of Fehrm, Buck and Knapp accounted for three goals, with Chapman and Cointreau also scoring. Fish Conger's slap shot at 2:30 of a five-minute sudden death overtime period enabled the Hill to upset a strong Choate team. After a tiring 14 hour trip through the elements, the victory was an outstanding one. Anders Fehrm tallied four times. Butt and Buck scored along with Conger. The will and determination to win plus the Hmasterfuli' driving were deciding factors in the victory. Continuing their victory streak, the squad dumped the Hershey Junior Bears, 5-1. Although playing bigger and older opponents, the squad was able to break up the visitors plays. Jim Buck tallied twice and Fehrm, Butt, and Curtiss one each. On the next Wednesday, The Hill, paced by the boy from Sweden, scored 154 THE DIAL 195 7 VARSITY HOCKEY LETTERMEN Front row: McClory, Mercier-Cointreau, Spencer, Fehrm, Butt, Chapman. Back row: Weller, Mgr., Buck, Curtiss, Tone, Congcr, Knapp. a decisive victory over Lehigh Freshmen. Little Andy scored the hat trick and also scoring for the Blue and Gray were Buck, Tone, and Conger. Morristown journeyed to Pottstown again and once again went home with a loss, this time 8-2. Leading the scoring for The Hill was Jim Buck with the hat trick. Also scor- ing were Conger, Butt, Cointreau, and Fehrm. The victory parade did not last, however, for the Hill on the following Wednesday was nosed out by a tough L'Ville squad. Led by Captain Spencer, playing his best game of the season, everybody fought hard. with 56 seconds left in an overtime period, The Red and Black scored a decisive goal. Mercier- Cointreau, recently moved to the first line scored the lone Hill goal on a pass from Fehrm in the third period. The last regular game of the season ended with The Hill skating off with an 8-1 victory over the sextet from Loomis. The scoring was led by Cointreau and Fehrm, who tallied for seven goals, with Chapman accounting for the eighth. Through graduation the team will lose the services of Captain Spencer, McClory, Cointreau, Butt, LeStage, Fehrm, and Chapman. Despite this loss, however, the prospects look bright, and the sixth form members of the team wish the best of luck to Captain-elect Jim Buck for a successful season next year. 155 .- 131 , . . K L.

H11 up its over Wu ter rack HE Hill Winter Track team of 1957 ended its season with a record of two wins against three losses. The team also sent representatives to the Inquirer Games at Convention Hall, the National Championships at Madison Square Garden, and, over Spring Vacation, the Spiked Shoe Meet at Franklin Field. Under the leadership of Head Coach Arthur F. jackson and his aides Messers. Ward and Little, the squad worked hard and always ran with determination on the track on frigid Dell Field. Captain Ty Porter throughout the campaign provided much inspiration to his teammates whether in practice or in competiton. On january 25 the mile relay team composed of Bob Funkhouser, jack Downing, Alby Maurice, and Stan Bell placed fourth in the preparatory school division of the Inquirer Games. In the opening meet of the season the Blue and Gray runners went on the road to meet perennially strong Lawrenceville. The host proved too much for the Hillmen as they took the contest by a 49-26 margin. Captain Porter sprinted to a win in the 60-yard dash followed by Downing of The Hill. In the mile English new boy Martin jones ran a beautiful race but was held to second in the outstanding time of 4:44. Shelly Spaulding won the broad jump for The Hill with a 20' 5 jump. In the 8-lap relay the Hill quartet of Downing, Mau- rice, Porter and Funkhouser won by a convincing distance. The following week the Hill trackmen encountered Blair Academy on Dell Field, Clif Smith copped first place in the 60-yard high hurdles. The mile was again an exciting race as Jones of Hill caught the Blair runner at the tape for a tie. The Hill collected seconds and thirds to enter the last event down by one point. The relay team of Maurice, Porter, Funkhouser and Downing out- strided the Blairmen to win the race and take the meet 36-32. On cold Dance Weekend The Hill met a powerful Lower Merion High School team. The visitors showed much strength in the sprints and held the hosts to seconds and thirds in all individual events. Captain Ty Porter, Stan Bell, Bob Funkhouser, and jack Downing comprised the sprint relay which represented The Hill at the National Championships in New York. Cliff Smith also competed in the high hurdles for the Blue and Gray. The thinclads next trompled Abington High School 56-12. Smith captured a win in the high hurdles in a fine time of 7.9. Captain Ty Porter led his team- mates Downing and Funkhouser to a sweep in the 60- yard dash in a 6.6 clock- ing. Rusty Wight and Alby Maurice collected wins in the mile and 440-yard dash respectively. In March the team took on the Pennsylvania Freshmen. Wins were scarce as the Red and Blue outdistanced The Hill 572-28M. Stan Bell garnered first position in the 440, while Gordon Simmonds jumped 20' ISM to a win in the broad jump. The relay team of Downing, Maurice, Porter, and Funkhouser remained unbeaten in dual-meet competition as they raced to a win in the 8-lap event in 2:46.7. The season's mark although not impressive gives indications of the experience which was gained on the winter track which will help to mold the squad into a strong team this spring. 158 1:1 4 V f JMgwQ ,smwAwKQfm, mm 1 Baseball NLY two returning lettermen, Captain Jim Kelley and Fifth Form pitcher Bill Leckonby, are back from last yearis championship squad. However, under the tutelage of freshman coach Ken Brown and with a talented group of boys up from last year's Junior Varsity and Junior teams, the Hill School Baseball squad seems slated for another successful season. The infield, defensively speaking, promises to be as good and possibly better than last year's air-tight group. While there is no deHnite line-up as yet, Don Bliem, a senior from last yearis Junior Varsity, will probably see a lot of action at the initial sack. Other contenders for this position are fifth formers Jack Graves and new-boy Bob Kaufmann. Second base seems to be fairly well wrapped up by senior dayboy Danny Wolf. At the keystone corner there are two possibilities, fifth former Key Moore, who is switching from the catcher's position, and Lenny Mass who starred on Mr. Ronnie's Juniors last spring, having one of the best batting averages on the team. At shortstop it will be a contest between sixth formers Jim Harper and Rudy Rozsa. Both boys are up from last year's Junior Varsity unit. The big problem on this year's team will be developing a strong defensive outfield. There is, however, a talented group of boys trying for the positions that can only be filled by an outnelder fast enough to outrun the always trouble- some trackmen. Candidates for the pasture positions are: seniors Don Corriere and John Nickles, juniors John Fitch, Jim Buck and Rod Day, and sophomore Jimmy Babcock. With Mr. Brown's expert coaching and the natural ability of these boys the outHeld should shape up into a snappy group. The pitching staff will be strengthened by returning letterman Bill Leckonby, the only Hill pitcher to beat Lawrenceville twice in the same season since Speed Balll' Alex Revell did it. Along will Bill, there will be two other southpaws, Bill Jackson and Chris Getman. Also contesting for the starting honors and the vital relief jobs will be sixth formers Mal Webb and Bill Spencer who share nine years of Hill School baseball experience between them. The Varsity backstop for the season will be Jim 'iMoose,' Kelley, the leader of this year's fine aggre- gation. Jim, along with Key Moore, will undoubtedly be Hill's menace to the infirrnary,s glass porch. This year, the Hillers face another tough schedule. Also, for the first time, the team will be sacrificing the last few days of their spring vacation in order to get an early start on the season. Three practice games in three days will help round the unit into shape immediately after vacation. The first game of the regular season is with the Perkiomen Preppers, at home, on Wednesday, April 10. The following Saturday, April 13, another prep school team invades the Hill. This time it's Mercersburg Academy's Varsity Nine. On Wednesday, April 17, the Blue and Gray are host to the Pennsylvania Freshmen. After a good night's sleep, the Hill team faces the Central High School Varsity, here. This fourth home contest will be played on Thursday, April 18. The next 160 THE DIAL 195 7 VARSITY BASEBALL SQUAD Front row: Wolf. Webb, Kelley, Berk, Nickles, Mass. Second row: Corrierc, Kaufmann, Jackson, Blatchford, Leckonby, Moore.

The date is April 24 for the last game before the team hits the road. On April 27, a Saturday, the team heads for the Peddie School, and the following Wednesday, the Brownmen will be playing at home again. This time itls the Lehigh Freshman team from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. And, on Satur- day, May 4, the team heads for S'Dear old Nassau Halll' and the Princeton Cubs. The Varsity Nine start their last home stint on May 8 when the fourth college freshmen group is taken on by our team. Lafayette invades our city on the Hill that Wednesday afternoon. And, at last, the Red and Black from New Jersey make their appearance on our campus. This battle is set for Saturday, May 11. The remaining two games on the card are on foreign shores. The first of these is with the Valley Forge Military Academy Varsity on Wednesday, May 15. The final contest is again with our arch rivals from the marshlands of New Jersey, and this time the game is at Lawrenceville and will be played on May 18. This final contest will undoubtedly cap what Mr. Brown, his followers, and the school are confident will be another successful year of baseball for him and possibly another championship varsity team. 161 W4-...

'W 'mv M W , S, Track 'HE prospect for a very successful 1957 Spring Track season appears very good. Head Coach Arthur F. Jackson will have ten lettermen on which to build this team. This group includes Captain Ty Porter, Cliff Smith, john Cutler, Charlie Brown, Lewis Wiley, Dennis Merklinger, John Wynne, Robert Funkhouser, Mike Murray, and Rusty Wight. The squad will have much depth and will be equally as strong in the field as on the cinders. Leading the sprinters this spring will be Captain Ty Porter. He will be pushed by returning letterman Bob Funkhouser and a speedy Texas newboy, jack Downing. These runners will be vying for positions in the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard dash. The quarter-mile promises to be a strong event with abundant talent in competition for varsity honors. Charlie Brown who ran excellently last year should lead the group. Stan Bell of the Sixth Form, who ran very well during the Winter Track season should prove a valuable member of the team in this event. New-boy Albie Maurice showed himself to be a strong runner on the board track as did Chris Kimmick, both of whom will be in con- tention for slots in the 440-yard dash. In the high hurdles, returning letterman Cliff Smith should be a regular point maker. He will be backed by Stan Medina and Bryan Sheehan, who both saw a good deal of winter action. In the 880-yard run Andy Biesel, a Sixth Form new boy should continue his fine performances of the previous season. Ken Stiles and Raleigh Archer also showed promise during the winter while Jim Stack appears to be a very strong contender in this race. The mile situation is very bright. Martin jones, who is an English exchange student, has shown himself to be one of the finest distance men at The Hill in many years. His times in the winter give indications that he will be able to do very well on the cinders. He will be supported by Rusty Wight, john Zillhardt, and John Beggs. In the field events the strong men are plentiful and should support the team greatly in the scoring column. In the discus Mike Murray will be expected to surpass his fine performance of last year. Dennis Merklinger and john Wynne will, however, be crowding their teammate for Hrst positions. The javelin event is abundant in candidates of which Jeff Drain and Fred Van Buskirk of last yearls squad should prove among the top contenders. Heaving the metal sphere will be Lewis Wiley who did an excellent job last spring. Merklinger will also throw the shot as will Tim Martin, a new boy, who has shown potential. Shelly Spaulding, another new boy, has displayed much ability in the broad jump and should fill first position. He will be trailed by Gordon Simmonds, who did well in the winter season. Clif Smith will probably double in the broad jump and the high jump as will Spaulding. Sandy Knott is expected to make an excellent showing in his specialty, the high jump. The team will encounter a very rough schedule with hard competition throughout. The Blue and Gray runners take on a strong Pennsylvania Fresh- man team ten days after spring vacation.

The following Friday and Saturday, a pair of mile relay teams and one sprint relay group will represent The Hill at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. The Peddie School is next on The Hill itinerary on May 4. The next meet is the annual Triangle Meet at Alexandria, Virginia with Episcopal and Woodberry Forest. On May 18, the Thinclads will travel to Lawrenceville in an attempt to avenge last year's loss. The team is well balanced and has power in all events. The outlook for a championship team is good. The Hill Trackmen now await the starting gun of the 1957 spring season. 165 vs 11 gf F S sf Si S SE Lf S 32 'QE Tennis OACH Frank Bender after two years with veteran material returning will have a job on his hands trying to produce a winning team with but one return- ing letterman and a predominantly underform squad. The returning letterman is junior captain Jim Biggs who held down the fifth singles slot last year going un- defeated until the final match. Help must come from two juniors with little varsity experience and the better part of last year's undefeated JVS. Gordy Aydelott and Stu Ludlum are the two semi-experienced netters while former JVers Rick Butt, Charlie Frank, Jim Rich, Steve Cox, and Taffy Symonds complete the eight-man squad. Outside possibilities include Sixth Formers Hager Bryant, Elliot Lichtman, Mac Butcher, and Norm Prouty. Biggs will hold down the number one singles position and though he may not possess the power of his predecessor, Bill McClung, Jim more than makes up for it with his all-round courtmanship. Aydelott and Ludlum will battle for the second position. Aydelott played doubles in every match last spring and boasts a powerful game with a sharp net attack. Ludlum, on the other hand, plays a softer game relying on his steadiness that won him two matches in the sixth singles slot last year. After these three not much has been decided though Butt and Frank seem to be ahead of their remaining teammates. Butt, a Sixth Former, has powerful strokes yet tends to be erratic at times. One of the two sophomores on the squad, Frank plays the steady Eastern game. In one year he has risen from number eight on the JVS to possibly fourth or fifth on the varsity and seems to have improved tremendously over the summer. Cox, the other Fourth Former, has also shown improvement. He boasts a steady game but is hampered somewhat by his shortness when at the net. The remaining two netters are Rich and Symonds who present confiicting styles. Rich is the steadier of the two, while Symonds hits harder and is more likely to err. The ten match schedule is even tougher than usual as the Blue and Gray will be forced to play half their matches on foreign courts. Last year the proteges of Mr. Bender achieved an eight won two lost record with both losses coming from the hands of traditionally powerful Lawrenceville. Among the victories was the unexpected 6-3 win over the Princeton Frosh. Opening the season with an away match, the varsity netmen travel to Blair to oppose their lightly regarded hosts. Then follow rough matches with Haverford College JV and Princeton Frosh respectively, the latter being the second away match. The third will be played April 24 against the class of the Main Line, Haverford School, which boasts National Junior Squash Champ Steve Veschlage. After Haverford come the Merion Cricket Club Juniors, made up mainly of Haverford players and former Hill grads such as Grey Perkins and Claude Beer, and the Lehigh Frosh who have high-ranking Lowell Latshaw in their midst. The Landon School, next on the agenda, is missing their former National Boys Champ for the first time in years, but is still formidable. Following this match comes rugged Penn F rosh, then two important clashes with Lawrenceville on consecutive Alumni Weekends at each school. 168 THE DIAL 1,95 7 VARSITY TENNIS SQUAD Front row: Cox, Symonds, Biggs, Frank, Butt.

The boys have every intention of improving last Spring,s 3-5 record. Mike Dorsey, the Captain, will lead the squad into the first match during the second week of April. Mike, along with Dick Merkelbach, who has also returned, won a place in the qualifying round of the Inter-scholastic Golf Association Tourney, but lost out in the finals. In the over-all team scoring, the Hillers placed approximately half-way among a group of some thirteen prep- schools. Steve Trott and Monroe Williams are the other two lettermen from last year, returning to competition. These four boys form the nucleus of the squad and lead off in the meets. At the time this publication is going to press, the status of the entire team has not yet been determined by Mr. Armstrong, the coach. There are a number of boys from last year's Junior Varsity trying out for positions, along with some promising new-corners. The varsity squad is usually composed of six men, with a seventh to be used as an alternate, or in such cases when the opposition has a seven man team. The dufiiers are facing a difiicult schedule this Spring. The first match takes place here against Blair Academy on April 13. Last year, the boys from Blair were defeated by the Hillers, 75 to 1M. Next on the agenda is Woodberry Forest of Virginia. They downed the Hill last season by a tally of .22-5. The first away,' match will be held at Valley Forge Military Academy on April 24. Following this meet will come a new attempt by the Hillers, as they compete in a Triangular Match for the first time. It will be played here with Haverford and the Prince- ton Frosh on April 27. Moving in to the month of May, we find Peddie next on the schedule. They were victorious over The Hill in the last meeting of the two schools. Episcopal Academy plays host to our boys on May 4, after losing last time by a score of 62, to 22. The Penn Frosh come here on the 8th of the month. Following this is the first of two matches with Lawrenceville, one here, one away. Last Spring, The Hill dropped two meets with L'ville by scores of 1-6 and 1-7, respectively. The Hill home course is the conveniently located Brookside Club which is situated just outside the far fields. During the past year much work has been done on the course in order to improve a number of obstacles which were present pre- viously. In addition, nine more holes are being constructed, and it appears as if there will be an excellent course when the work is completed. Mr. Armstrong, The Hill Coach, has been doing fine work with the boys on the squad, and a good number have developed into outstanding performers under his capable direction. In addition, his duties cover a wider realm, such as the fixing of the schedule and the time and the place of matches. 1957 looks quite promising as far as golf is concerned, with Captain Dorseyis playing leading and fine assistance from Merkelbach, Trott, and Williams. 170 THE DIAL 195 7 VARSITY GOLF SQUAD Front row: Chapman, Dorsey, Merkelbach, Trott.

W7ard, Director of Athletics, this year,s Com- mittee was headed by: Charlie Brown, president, Lew VViley, vice-president, and secretary, Ty Porter. The committee holds meetings about once a month, at the call of the president, the Director of Athletics, or the Headmaster. At these meetings the members of the committee discuss anything to do with sports at The Hill and their problems. On infrequent occasions the task of deciding what to do about a boy's breaking training comes before the committee. It decides whether or not the boy in question should be removed from the sport, or merely be deprived of a letter. In previous years, the Executive Committee of the Athletic Association has made such changes in the sports curriculum, as promoting both Cross Country and Hockey from minor to major sports. At the end of each school year, when all the captains of the next year's sports are known, the present committee elects the oH5cers of the incoming Executive Committee. The members of the Executive Committee in addition to the oflicers are Jim Biggs, Mac Butcher, Don Corriere, Mike Dorsey, Jim Kelly, Bill Spencer, and Jim Stack. These boys represent the various sports and Bob Funkhouser is a member on behalf of the Sixth Form. 172 THE DIAL 195 7 Kneeling: Have-ner, Rich. Standing: Knott, Sutherland, A., Essman. Cheerleaders CHOOL spirit received its usual attention from the cheerleaders this year. Under Art Sutherland, they aided the soccer, football, basketball, and wrest- ling teams. Cheerleaders attended every home soccer match, as well as the foot- ball games, during the fall season. During the winter, they attended basketball, and, for the first time, ushered at swimming and wrestling matches. After an educational rally for the new boys, the group held two torch-lit meetings by Memorial Hall. The rally before the Lawrenceville game featured the traditional speeches by coaches and captains. Led and escorted by the cheer- leaders, the student body marched out to the game against the Lawrentians cheering the traditional cheers. The cheerleaders had the student body cheer the players out of every huddle. Attendance at the soccer games rose as interest was increased by the presence each time of two cheerleaders. The construction of the new wrestling room em- phasized the importance of the action of cheerleaders as ushers during wrestling matches. Their presence enabled students to End seats more quickly, and, there- fore, quietened the atmosphere for wrestling. The same service was performed for the swimming team. Cheerleaders are Art Sutherland, Sandy Knott, jim Rich, George Havener, and Mike Essman. The last two named are Fifth Formers and are expected to return to the group next year. 173 wqwwwm Iwaunn Xhmcka JUNIOR SPOR T S !lMNN'WM.k 16 54' s A f an .I Y w qi 4.x 4 u ,n fl' lil' ----..---n-nm?- unmllujlgiu W AQBSX xlf The Far Fields T the Far Fields Banquet, held at the end of the 1956 season, Barron Weeks was presented with The 'gCupeH Black cup. It is awarded annually to the player, who in the opinion of the coaches, has demonstrated outstanding qualities of sportsmanship and ability on the Far Fields gridiron. Recent winners have been 'LSandy', Mersereau and Bob Funkhouser. Barron was a hard charging, sharp tackling back of the Fourths, and at all times an eager worker, ready to take any responsibility placed before him. His determined running earned him four touchdowns and a large number of points after touchdown. It seems reason- able to assume that Barron will follow the precedent of previous award winners and share in the running attack of the varsity in the next two seasons. The Thirds, with Mr. Schaadt and Mr. Tyrer at the reins, had a mediocre year, winning two, while losing five.

Charlie Ellis and Bob Wood each scored twice, with Mike Essman, Fred Van Buskirk, Rudi Rozsa, and Dennis Rubini scoring one apiece. Their second win was also an easy one in which they rolled over Spring-Ford High Junior Varsity, 21-O. Against Spring-Ford, it was all Charlie Ellis' game, as he crossed the goal-line three times during the afternoon. The team employed a two-platoon system for most of the season and therefore it is difficult to single out individual players for recognition. However, when he was on offense Charlie Ellis sparked the squad with Hne signal-calling and strong running. During the season Rudi Rozsa added eight placements for the thirds, Leading ground gainers during the season, were Mike Essman, Bob Wlood, Dennis Rubini. and jim Harper. Tom Haxw d H , ,' ar , arry YVest, Bill Yule, Dave Forker, Al Humphrey, George Pence, Don Logan, Paul Nielson, Mal Webb, Greg Holmberg, and Fred Van Buskirk played well on offense and defense. The Fourths under the Guidance of Kc h B ., g i . ?nnet rown and Mr'. Donald Ronnie, came up with a four won, four lost record. They started out heading for a disasterous season, but managed to win three out of their last four games. The team dropped their first game to Plymouth-VVhite Marsh 20-6. The second amc l g e was c oser, but ended in another loss, with a 7-6 score against the Boyer- 177 l l FAR FIELDS FIFTHS Front row: Kosloff, Beebe, Patterson, Avery, Braden, Hutchinson, Wildman.

The Fourths recorded their first win by trouncing the Perkiomen School Thirds 36-0. The following week they lost their third game to Pottstown 13-O. In the following game, the Fourths rebounded to take a hard fought 6-0 game from Boyertown, and dug in again to hold a 7-6 win over the Shamrock Highls Junior Varsity. The Fourths dropped the next game to Norristown Highls junior Varsity 13-7, but again sprang back to even out their seasonis record by a 13-6 victory over Central High Junior Varsity. Even though the slate was not outstanding, the team had some boys who turned in excellent performance, week after week. Notable among these boys was Barron Weeks, Jim Babcock, Pete Jones, Ernie Calliari, and Tom Andre in the back- field. On the line Frank Crawford, George Wfhiteley, John Bryntcson, Jim Shen- nan, Bill Jackson, Mike Clark, Don Wlilliams, Bill Rubey, and John Brewer did their best to make their opponents sorry they had made the trip to the Far Fields. Fifths football finished the season with an even slate, winning three and dropping the same number. Mr. Revell, with the assistance of Messrs. St. John and Long, molded a team that did not realize its actual potential until mid-way through the season. The Fifths lost their first game to the Shamrocks, the same team that later in the season lost to the Fourths by only one point, and also dropped their second game by a 7-6 count to Boyertown Junior High School. 178 FAR FIELDS SIXTHS Front row: Schneider, Grantham, Saltus, Greer.

Third row: Fehrenbach, Cherry, Wick, Berk, Pane, MacKinnon, Goff, McGee. Snowden, Richards, Coach. Fourth row: Sheridan, Mcllvain, Dudley, Medina, J., Bell, Hoyt, Ayer. They finally broke into the winning column, by defeating the Central High Junior Varsity 21-6, and gained revenge the next game against Boyertown by winning 20-7. They lost a 13-12 heartbreaker to Rittenhouse, but finished out the season with a 19-6 victory over Pottstown. Chris Glenn quarterbacked a well- balanced attack that included Frank Wildman, Sam Symonds, Chris Getmen, lfVhit Beebe, Tom Rodgers, Jeff Mennen, Mat Hoopes, Tom Keller, Bill Akins, and Terry Moulton. The Sixth Heavies had a very creditable record. Under the direction of Mr. Richard and Mr. Greene, the team rolled over four elevens, holding the offense to the output of seven points in these four tilts. Their only loss came at the hands of the Wilson Junior High School team. The Sixths combined a very strong defense with a well-balanced attack to garner this hne slate, A 33-0 romp over the Boyertown Junior High Team was a demonstration of the team's ability to work as a smooth striking unit. The offense was sparked by the breakaway run- ning of Joe Capute. Other standouts behind the line of scrimmage were Pete Smith, Dave Mcllvain, and Dick Berk. lVhile it was usually the backs who received most of the praise in compiling the 19-0 and 19-7 victories over Ritten- house and Pottstown, none of their fifty, or five yard runs would have been possible without the sharp, accurate blocking handed out by Tad McAlpin, Jerry Medina, Jim Cherry, Jay Leblang, and John Hammond. 179 FAR FIELDS SIXTH LIGHTS Front row: Vermilye, Kcllner, McClure, Burnett, Moffatt, Prior.

If success can be judged by the won and lost record of a team, then the undisputed champions of the Far Fields were Mr. Mark Brownis Sixth Lights football team. This was the only unbeaten, untied, and unscored-upon team at The Hill last Fall. Captained by Toby Burnett, and led in scoring by George Kellner, the Lights tallied 127 points to their opponents, zero. Their closest score was with Rittenhouse Junior High School, whom they defeated 7-O. Holding forth in the front line were Charlie Vest, Fred Beard, Jim lXfIoffatt, Jim McClure, and Mike Van Buren. In the backfield Jerry Stowell, Shelly Smith, and Dick Reif starred. The entire team should be congratulated for having such a fine season. While the football teams were hard at work on the soggy turf, the future of varsity soccer at The Hill was not being neglected. Four teams, other than the varsity, represented the school in soccer this Fall. Between them, they managed to have one team that won more than it lost, two that broke even, and one that lost more than it won. Although not being able to match last year's great record, the Junior Varsity had a good year, considering the high calibre of their competition. The team swept by Perkiomen twice, and Ursinus College V. once, to gather their three wins. In two excellently played games, the V. tied New Hope-Solebury and Upper Darby by identical 1-1 scores. They dropped decisions to North Penn 180 JUNIOR VARSITY SOCCER Front row: Wintrop, McNally, VonHelms, Frank, Foehl. Second row: McConnel, Sley, Bennett, Kimniich. Freed, Butcher, J.

Third Soccer had one of its poorer seasons in recent years, not winning until the final game of the season. Mr. Eddy and Mr. Jackman had to spend most of the time teaching the boys the fundamentals of the game. The opening game of ' ' i ' d 'h had laved four the season was against an experienced Norristown squa vw o p , 4-O. Later thev were trounced by Phelps School 7 1 team returned Fighting in a rematch to come within a goal of beating Phelps.

Fourth Soccer split their schedule exactly even by winning, losing, and tying one. Mr. XN'alsh, with the aid of Mr. Wlood, coached the team to a record much . . . l. X I.

Captain McFadden also chipped in with two penalty shots in that same fray. They dropped one game to North Penn Joint High, while tying Norristown 1-1. In the Norristown game, George Knapp scored the tying goal. Mike Knatt, Chester Kowalski, Dave Pochna, and John Judis helped the Fourths with their spark and knowledge of basic soccer skills. Ken Rugh played well as goalie. The Junior Soccer team closed out the season with a better than average, four won, three lost record. Coached by Mr. VVhiteley and Mr. Ellis, the second and third formers learned the fundamentals of this sport. The coaches fortunately had five returnees from last year's squad which compiled a 6-1 record. These boys were Captain Bill Donald-Hill, Tom Hutton, Dave Herasimchuk, Sam Jackson, and John McMillan. The goalie for the Juniors was a new boy, Sloan McBurney, who along with Carl Larson and Peter Melrose, added to the strength of the team. Against outside competition the Juniors lost to North Penn Junior High and The Phelps School. They scored wins over Daniel Boone Junior High, Wforchester Junior High, Perkiomen School, and Phelps. 182 A .N ' . , W, zu A Tymi .a M54 ,W I N 'V M 1- h R His?

In the highlight of the season the Lawrenceville second-stringers were white- washed 43-0 as Charley Breene, Sandy Mersereau, Jones, Steve Trott, Suther- land, Ed Stevens, and Fox all pinned. Easton and Northampton Junior Varsity were the last two squads to fall to the Blue and Gray onslaught, losing 36-13 and 23-18 respectively. Coach Phil Pratt's Bn team swimmers also went unbeaten as they smashed four opponents including the Lawrenceville Junior Varsity who had never before lost to the second string Blue and Gray swimmers. Frankford High Junior Varsity was the first victim in a meet completely dominated by The Hill. Germantown Academy proved rougher opposition as they stayed with the Hillers until the final relay, only to lose 44-32. Alex Humphery set a new Junior Varsity record with a 57.1 for the 100-yard freestyle while the 200-yard freestyle foursome of Don Rose, Larry Paine, Beek Winthrop, and Humphery set a new record at 1 :43.0. In the only away meet of the season, the team edged L'ville 42-35 with two records falling. Barron Weeks won the 100-yard backstroke in the excellent time of 1109.2 while the freestyle relay group again lowered their mark to 1:40.5. Marty Walzer won the 150-yard medley, Larry Paine the 100 free, and Keith Gunn the 200 free. The final meet of the season saw three more records tumble in a 57-19 victory over West Philadelphia Catholic.

Mr. Ronnie's high scorer was Gordy Aydelott, and Jim Biggs, Hugh Corddry, Tom Andre, and Pete Keeney all paced the team. After bowing to Haverfordis subs in the opener, the Hill team came back to defeat a motley group of Senior League refugees and Pipe Club Athletic Club members, 37-22. The All-Stars lungs were cleared out late in the game and they tallied fifteen points in the last quarter. In games to follow, Hill lost to YVilson High, Mercersburg Junior Varsity, Norristown High Junior Varsity, and a strong Pottstown under- graduate aggregation. Aydelottas twenty -two points against Norristown was out- standing but he was the only member of the team frequently in the double figures. The team finally caught fire and took revenge on the Boyertown Junior Varsity five as Aydelott poured in twenty-six, Andre chipped in fourteen, and Corddry rebounded well. In the next-to-last game of the season the Junior Varsity trounced a highly rated Perkiomen Junior Varsity, 67-52, on the opponents Hoor. Dick Berk was high man with eighteen points. Keeney and Aydelott were also in double figures. The seasonis final game was dropped to the Pottstown under- forrners, 57-42. Biggs and Andre starred in the opening of the game, only to have an early lead whittled away in the closing minutes. Another unbeaten team was Mr. George Wfhiteleyis hard-skating Junior Varsity Group. They managed to polish off all four teams they met. An All-Star Intramural team under the name of Junior Varsity stunned the Lawrenceville counterparts with a 3-2 setback. The team grabbed a quick 3-O lead on goals by Carl Ferenbach, Tom Hutton, and Gunnar Bennett and thwarted all but two of L'ville's numerous attacks. 186 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Coach: Mr. Ronnie.

In a return engagement the Liville junior Varsity again bowed to Hill's sextet as Mandelkorn scored the vital one in a 2-l overtime victory. Mtfeting their only other opponent, Hill again overcame Potts- town. This time the area youths were downed 5-0 as Havener scored two and assisted Chris Glenn and hlike Edgar in their tallies. The junior Hockey team ended its season with a one-three record. Mr. Revellfs future varsity material included Colby Chester, Jim Klauder, Phil Gran- tham, jerry Medina, and Mike Van Buren. M1'. Ken Brownls Junior Basketball team may be proud of their five-three reeord. The team lost twice to a much more experienced Pottstown Junior High five, and once to the Phelps School. Usually sparking the juniors attack was third former Berk who kept the all-Court press alert and was frequent high scorer. Pivotmen Bruce Nliller and Moose lNfIacLlvain and outside men Karl Benkwith and Charlie Frank were also instrumental to the team's success. After an early season loss to Pottstown, the Juniors upended Pottsgrove junior High, l'Yilson -Iunior High, and Boyertown junior High. Both intramural basketball leagues were close down to the wire. requiring playoffs to decide the winners in the junior and Senior divisions. ln the Senior League Abernethfs Red five, sparked by Fred Steriker, upended Dick Yuleis lX'hites by three points. The Blues, Greens, and Golds were far down the ladder. Standouts in the league inelude Hank lngram, Doug lluggan, Nlason Hicks. and Ed Harris. Bill NIaeFadden's Gold unit edged the Blues of Tom Snively in the tlunior League playoll' game as the Reds rounded out the division. Qutstanding players were high scorer Snively. jim Bollman, Steve Elliot, and MacFadden. 187 JUNICR VARSITY HOCKEY Front row: Babcock, Edgar, Havener, Glenn, Bennett. Second row: Mr. Whitcley, Coach, Mandelkorn, English, Hutton. Leaders of the Intramural Hockey League were Mr. Jackmanls Jets, sparked by Mandelkorn, Wilson, Glenn, and goalie Calliari. The Juniors were followed by the Whippets and the Blackhawks, respectively. Mr. St. John's Junior Swimmers enjoyed a good season as they took five of their six scheduled meets. Captain Vllalzer starred for the team, breaking nurn- erous records. The Junior tankers drenched the Pottstown Y.M.C.A. team, 44--24 as Ted Kozloff established a new diving mark of 35.7 points. VValzer, Al Rosen, and Pete Smith were individual winners as well as the 200-yard medley unit of Mark Haag, Craig Mackinnon, John Butcher, and Jim Hinkle. After two more vic- tories, the team trounced the Reading Y.M.C.A. squad, 47-10, as three more Junior records fell. Bob Avery lowered the 50-yard backstroke posting to 32.8, while Walzer broke the 100-yard freestyle standard with a clocking of one minute Hat, and the team of Barry Sears, Lenny Mass, Al Rosen, and Walzer produced a 1 :49.0 timing in the 200-yard freestyle relay. Another win followed for the Juniors and then their one loss of the year to the Son's of Penn with a 49-28 score. In this meet Avery lowered his 50-yard backstroke record to 32.0 and Walzer eclipsed the 75-yard medley record with a 46.9 clocking. The HC team Wrestlers won both their matches in fine style as they upended Norristown Junior Varsity, 40-8, and the Lower Merion sophomore group by a similarly decisive count. Against Norristown, Whit Beebe, Jim Haise, Moulton, Bob Wyatt, and Gordy Appell registered quick pins while Jeff Mennen decisioned and Breene tied his opponent. 188 f A3m..,. 1 - ey X, wg? will 'l',,.LLgi 5 iiwm-'fwQ2Qe .Q ,?5G5??'

For many years the yearbook has been in the line of a traditional layout. It has been difficult to bring about any changes in the make-up of the book. This year, however, the DIAL, under the energetic leadership of Mr. Herbert, the new advisor, and Ty Porter, the Editor, has revamped its pre- sentation of the year's activities. In the beginning of the Fall Term, the entire Board met frequently to consider merits of various changes. As the result, the book was gone over, page by page, and many changes in the arrangement of articles, use of candid pages and advertising resulted. One can readily see the results of the planning. Changes were made, not only in the arrangement of the book, but in the workings of the DIAL Board and Staff, as well. One of the managerial goals this year was a more cohesive, integrated operation of the Board as a unit, rather than as several separate departments. It has always been a weakness of the DIAL that the Board did not always work together effectively. This year, by holding many meetings in the new room located in the Science Building, closer cooper- ation was obtained. Working with Porter was Norm Willock, the Managing Editor, Ty's right-hand man and director of the work crews. The writing chores were divided between Charlie Brown as Literary Editor and Taffy Symonds as Sports Editor. Another factotum on the Board was Russ Watson, Make-Up Editor and like Wlillock, a rcturnee from last yearis Board. Don LeStage headed a hard-working, capable Business Board and was aided by Russ Wight, Assistant Business Manager and Bob Funkhouser, Advertising Manager. Head of the Photography StaH' was Dave Blatchford and he was assisted by Pete VValker, Bill DIAL BOARD Porter, T., Mr. Herbert, Funkhouser, Wight, Lestage, D., Sutherland, K., lNatson, Brown, C., Symonds, Willock. Wise and Gus Zingg. Fifth Former Ken Sutherland did the doodlings for the dividers and enlivened many Board meetings with his caricatures of various members. Bill Abernethy was given the difficult job of amassing the Sixth Form History in an imaginative way. Perhaps the most pressing problem to be faced in the publication of a year- book is the raising of the large amounts of cash required. Some of the expense is borne by the school, which obtains the funds from tuition. However, about half of the needed money must be raised by the Board. LeStage, Wfight, and Funkhouser were in charge of the fund-raising, but the co-operation of the entire Board and staff made its success possible. By acquiring numerous advertise- ments, boosters and patrons, as well as selling pictures, the DIAL was able to meet the ever-rising cost of putting out a yearbook. In connection with adver- tising, there is one significant change to be noted: the Board's new policy on boosters. The messy, unsightly individual boosters of the past have been replaced by hall and club boosters, which feature a picture of the members, thus producing an effect that is, if not pleasing to the eye, at least more presentable. Also one attains a record of his club or hall in the form of a photograph. For the first time, the DIAL Board created a junior Board to familiarize those underformers who had shown a great interest in the publication with the problems and workings of the yearbook. Tom Hayward, Ray Siatkowski, Tim Martin, Mike Uhlmann, and Alex Armentrout were selected as members of the junior Board. Another innovation was the creation of the position of Staff Member for Sixth Formers who aided the Board in its work. 195 THE yt Sf Fffiol . I -QGXXX --. wiki' C L 4 XNHAT, nvmmri ggf Vgp 1. .f , H- x Iliff 15-,l4Y'lViU 'HE close of the Winter Term ended what could be called nothing less tl1an an extremely successful year for The Hill News, a weekly school publication. Under the leadership of Cyrus H. Adams, Chairman of the Board, and the advisorship of Mr. Leonard A. Rice, The News operated smoothly and accom- plished much. Although it cannot be said that the Board always worked together in perfect harmony, it easily managed to publish twenty-five regular issues through the com- bined eH'orts of its members and the large amount of time that most of them devoted to their special tasks. The Managing Editor was Bill Abernethy, the Co- Sports Editors were Dennis Huston and Taffy Symonds, Bruce Partridge took care of the paper's make-up, and the responsibility of the feature page was in the hands of Russ Wfatson. The Co-Copy Editors were Fifth Formers Bill Epler and Charlie Stegerg the News Editor was Cordon Simmonds, and Pete VanNuys held the position of Personnel Manager. The heads of the Art and Photography Departments were Walt Diener and Dave Blatchford, respectively. The head of the Business Board, advised by Mr. George D. Senter, was Bob Funkhouser, assisted by Fourth Former Alex Armentrout. The procedure of putting out a newspaper every week is a job filled with routine and, at times, tense moments. On the Thursday before the paper is put out, the assignments are given out. To gather material for the topics that are to be covered the editors check with certain people around the campus such as Mr. Moffatt, Mr. Hall, and Mr. Ward. The assignments that result from these inquiries are to bc covered and handed in by Sunday afternoon. After these articles are run through the mill which includes the proofreading, possible retyping, headline writing, and other needed changes are made, they are sent to Mr. Rice for the final clearance. He reads them over to insure their accuracy and high standards. This copy is then sent to the Boyertown Times, the company which prints the paper, to be set up in type. After all the copy is in, by Tuesday night, which is the deadline, the galleys are made up at Boyertown and sent to the school before sixth period Wednesday. On that afternoon the galleys are corrected and proof- read at least three times. The second of the two galleys is cut up and pasted on the dummies, which are sheets that serve as patterns for the printers. All this work must be finished by four that afternoon so that it may be picked up by the Boyertown agent. The Wednesday sports article is the only piece of work that escapes this deadline. It is written on Wednesday night and thoroughly proofread and double- checked for length. It is then put on the 8:15 bus for Boyertown by the Adver- tising Manager. It is rarely a long article because of the time limit involved. On Wednesday night the paper for the following week is made-up and the cycle starts over again. 196 NEWS BOARD Seated: Jones, J., Abernethy, Symonds, Mr. Senter, Mr. Rice, Van Nuys, Adams, C., Epler. Standing: Simmonds, Partridge, Watson, Armcntrout, Blatchford, Diener, Funkhouscr, Richardson, Huston. One of the highlights of the Boardis achievements was a parody issue. There were a number of eight page issues put out, but the News was still able to operate comfortably in the black, financially speaking. The feature page this year offered many inspiring editorials which affected several changes at the school. Possibly the most important accomplishment was the instigation of the Tutorial System. The idea for such a system was put forth in an editorial in May, 1956, and adopted by the school in December of that year. The Science Club also had its beginning in a News editorial. Also on page two was Russ Watsonis The True Cluew, an exposition Cudefinitely not plagiar- ized from Timeuj of Saturday movies. Other features included :'Scanning the News , by Jim Jones, and easily the most read column in the paper Campus Quotesw, by John Stack. The News also ran a series of complete, informative articles on many different colleges and universities. The Sports Department gave complete and accurate coverage of both Saturday and Wednesday games of Fall, Winter, and Spring Term sports. Sub- varsity and intra-mural athletics were also given space on the sports pages of the News. The weekly sports column 'gDouble-Header , written by Dennis Huston and Taffy Symonds, which was later changed to And in This Oornern, by Huston alone, received considerable attention from readers of the News. The Editors left the News in the hands of the new Board in the Spring Term with the hope that they will have a year that equals, or even surpasses, the success of the past year. 197 The THE HILL SCHOOL LITERARY PUBLICATION N April of 1956, this yearas Record Board was announced by the retiring mem- bers. Edward Freeman, at that time a member of the Board, was chosen to be the new Chairman. Four other members were selected: two from the Class of '57, Morton Berkowitz and Bruce Partridge, and two from this year's Fifth Form, Cary Audette and Charles Porter. At the same time Michael McClory was named Exchange Editor. As Ed Freeman did not return in September, it was necessary to choose a new Chairman. Bruce Partridge was elected to fill the vacant post. The Board, the sixty-third, assumed office in time to put out the May 1956 Record, their first issue. Of all the publications of The Hill, solely The Record exists for the purpose of printing creative writing by the students of the school. Throughout its long history, the magazine has been written, assembled, and published by students. ln order to introduce variety into each issue, writings of all types, short stories, sketches, essays, and poetry, are accepted. Manuscripts from any Form are con- sidered, and members of the lower Forms are encouraged to write. The work of the Board is primarily to judge contributions as they are sub- mitted for publication. In this function, it is very ably aided by Mr. Patterson, the faculty advisor to The Record. Members of the Board also have the respon- sibility of writing themselves, as well as that of discussing each manuscript sub- mitted with its author, whether it has been accepted for publication or not. The latter is in general the job of the Chairman. The two other members of The Record, the Exchange Editor and the Press Editor, are responsible for the dis- tribution, and the arrangement and printing of the magazine, respectively. The Press Editor for this year, not elected until late in the Spring Term, is Paul Albert. Perhaps the most notable difficulty faced by the Board, particularly in the Fall Term of this year, was the lack of material. This became so acute that one issue Cthat of November, 19565 had to be omitted, and another CFebruary, 1957j combined with the March issue. Even as early as last May, the beginnings of this situation could be seen developing-very few of the contributions submitted were by members of the lower Forms, and none of them were by Underformers not on the Board itself. Ed Freeman was represented by a short story and one other short piece, Gary Audette by another short story, Bruce Partridge by a long poem, and Charles Porter by his Thyestes,'. In June, a large portion of the magazine was occupied by the writings of Sixth Formers. However, four works by Underformers, a nfirst person account by Porter, a short story by Freeman, a ballad by Berkowitz, and a short poem by Raphael Goldsmith, were included. It was at this time that Paul Albert was chosen to be the Press Editor for this year. The problem of lack of material became even more acute because Ed Freeman did not return to school in the Fall Term. Not only had the Board lost a Chair- man, its membership was cut to a mere four, far below the usual number. Oper- ating under this handicap, the Board began working towards its First issue of the 198 RECORD BOARD Porter. C., Partridge, Berkowitz. Audette, Mr. Patterson. new school year. However, when the deadline for the November issue arrived, the amount of material that had been accepted was insulicient to justify the cost of printing an issue. Therefore the material that had been collected was held over and later printed in the December issue. This issue was again unfortunately notable for the lack of Underform writing. Even the Class of '58 was represented by only one writer not on The Record, Charles Steger, whose essay Sublimity,' was printed. The two Fifth Formers on the Board, however, did each produce something for the magazine. Gary Audette wrote a descriptive piece 'fDawn',, and two of Charles Porter's writings, a lengthy allegory and a translation, were printed. Morton Berkowitz was represented by a dialogue 'fwith a twist , Bruce Partridge by a short poem. Two other Sixth Formers also 'fmade The Recordv, Richard Butt with an essay on Valley Forge, and Terry Cummer with his short story St, Thomas' Trumpetn. Following the Christmas Vacation, the Board was again faced by the same problems that had forced the omission of the November issue. Contributions came in slowly, and again, few of them from the lower Forms. This resulted in only one issue for the Winter Term: it was, however, twice the size of a normal Record. A large portion of the March issue was occupied by a long dithyrambic poem by Charles Porter, who also had a translation in it. Gary Audette wrote another descriptive piece, and Bruce Partridge, a dialogue based on the style of Plato. A new writer, Richard Rust was represented by a light piece in the style of g'The Iliadu. A promising writer in the Second Form, Christopher Stowell, was represented by his poem uThe Magic of Nightv. All in all, despite the difficulties facing it, The Record Board for 1956-57 put out two good issues, and successfully served its purpose of encouraging good writing on the part of the students of The Hill. 199 Wlebb.

Press Club HE Hill School Press Club completed another successful year as the school's publicity agent, supplying the outside world with newsworthy information about the school. An article about an exchange student was even published in a foreign newspaper. The Press Club Board took over their positions at the beginning of the Spring Term last year and relinquished the same this spring. Mal Webb served a fine term as Chairman of the 23-member club. The Letters-to-Hometown- Newspapers department functioned smoothly under the guidance of Literary Editor, Dick Merkelbach. jim Harpt-r's timely and precise writing was a big help to Dick. john XVynne, Secretary-Treasurer, had to keep the club :gout of the redfl Ed Harris was Personnel Editor, and he made sure that all the newest clippings from newspapers about The Hill were placed on the bulletin board in Donner Hall. Pete Schwiers, the Sports Editor, checked to see that all the results of varsity contests were sent to the leading papers of New York, Phila- delphia, and Pottstown. The Far Fields Sports were also covered, but these results were given only to the local paper in Pottstown. Regular contributions to prep school columnists Mike Strauss of the New York Times and Sam Goldaper of The Herald Tribune were also functions of the club. The Press Club of 1956-57 under the supervision of Messrs. Moffatt and Long did their job well, and again had a most successful year. 200 Kirtland, Wight, Sykes, George, Mr. Mercer, Huston. ews A envy LITTLE before the majority of the school arises every morning, a solitary figure can be seen, silently stealing across the Quad, headed in the direction of Donner Hall, He is one of the six members of the Hill Newspaper Agency. Upon reaching this destination, the bright, attentive young lad goes quickly about his task. First he removes The New York Timex, The Herald Tribune, and The Philadelphia Inquirer, or as many of these papers as have arrived on that parti- cular morning, from the box in Donner Hall. He must then secure a list of the masters who are subscribers to these papers. From this list, he copies the names of these teachers on the papers. Then, summoning all his strength, he lugs the required number of newspapers into the Masters' Mail Room. The lad then returns to the box, deposits the remainder of the papers inside, and heads for a well-deserved breakfast. After the first course has been completed, many of the student subscribers rush into Donner Hall to obtain their newspapers, One self-sacrificing soul on the agency, therefore, has to give up the rest of his breakfast, to open the box and distribute papers to these people. Vlhen breakfast has been finished, the remainder of the boys in the agency aid their struggling cohort with this distribution. At the end of the school year, hir. Mercer. who is the director of the entire business, sees to it that the profits from the organization are divided equally between the NEWS and the DIAL. 201 ' f 1 X , , My MH X: ' ff Jr x 5' -rs xx 'V K S W A ,,,,, .W .1,. ,mmwmg 'Sify ., W Q? 5 5 www-Z F Q? g u i?

The girls were met in Philadelphia by some of this yearls dance committee which consisted of sixth formers Pete Buhler, Chairman, Charlie Brown, Jim Suther- land, and Mo1't Berkowitz, Sixth Formers, while representing' the Fifth Form were Ken Sutherland, John Oliver, Rodney Day, and lNIike Brown. Upon their arrival at The Hill at approximately 2:30, the girls were escorted to their weekend dormitories where they met their chaperones, who. as every year, were wives of Hill Nlasters. Then, along with their dates, the girls spent the afternoon watching The Hill basketballers, wrestlers, trackmen, and hockey men play some thrilling contests. Also during the afternoon, The Pipe Club sponsored a small informal dance, which lasted from four to six-olclock provid- ing lots of coffee and conversation for its members. Finally, dinner time rolled around and after the girls sampled Hill cuisine, they were escorted to Chapel by their dates. After Chapel, the girls went back to their rooms to change for the dance while the boys went searching for studs and instruction on tying bow ties. Ultimately, the hour of the dance arrived and the couples assembled in Donner Hall, which for this weekend had been transformed into the scene of i'B'wav 81 52nd, Street , where thev met M1'. Hall, Mrs. Merwin, and the individual members of the Dance Committee. DANCE COMMITTEE First row: Buhler, Berkowitz, Sutherland, A. Second row: Brown. C., Funkhouser. w w F l Donner Hallis usual face of mod- ern paneling and mail boxes had vanished into a world of illusion grati- fyingly like that of a night club. A starry globe bathed the streamers with flashes of color but did not penetrate the subdued light of the room and while the younger or dateless members of the school stared disconsolately at the wide screen and the antics of Holly- wood, the rhythm of Broadway and 52nd Street began to pick up. An oc- casional Hash bulb would light up the faces of Hill celebrities and a lurking News reporter scribbled the impressions of the glamorous on The Hill and its handsomely tuxedoed males. The glam- orous were, as the next Fridayls issue proved, either kind or impressed. The reporter interviewing the lovelies was visibly impressed. A Louis Armstrongesque trombonist periodically shattered the amorous con- centration of passion corner and couples drifted to and from the bandstand as his wit and song mounted. This burly good fellow gave the punch bowl un- beatable competition, yet some couples, oblivious to all, danced on. Outside the club on 52nd Street and Broadway, the movie ended and the rest of the school, unnoticed, went to bed. The Headmas- ter's promise of such a dance in coming years seemed cold comfort to those out- side the club as whisps of music echoed WINTER TERM DANCE COMMITTEE against the nearly empty walls of the Upper School. This year Lester Laninis Orchestra played for the dance and, as in past years, his music was considered very successful, as was a short appearance of The Hilltones. At eleven-o'clock, after a half-hour intermission for refreshments, the orchestra played jazz melodies, which everyone agreed were terrific. At twelve-thirty, the last dance ended, and the boys returned their tired dates to their dormitories. The next morning, the girls were driven back to Philadelphia in chartered buses, thus ending a very successful weekend. The most typical comment of the weekend was made by one of the weekend visitors who said, Wonderful!,' 206 ' Mgt.

It was a season which might compare favorably with any of recent memory. Though the excitement engendered by the presence of a new director has had a chance to wear off, the club still progressed under the direction of Mr. Lloyd B. Tuttle and the leadership of President Mac Butcher. The club has continued the Hill tradition of producing glee clubs equal to any. It has also done its usual work in the line of furthering both interschool relations and the cause of the enjoyment of music. There have been some five regular joint concerts held this year. Those at home were held in Memorial Hall. The lirst concert here featured the Penn Glee Club. The Hill Glee Club joined them in A Testament of Freedomn for the special event of the night. One of the most popular parts of the program with the audience was the appearance of a small group within the Penn Glee Club which sang novelty numbers, including one which was called an ancient Norse drinking song and which brought down the house. The second concert of the year was also at The Hill and featured the Ellis School Glee Club. The Hill group joined the visitors in the singing of the music from 4'Oklahoma . This was the Hrst concert with a girls, school and, as such, was the Hrst to feature a dance. The club went away to sing and dance at Baldwin and Shipley and finished the joint concert season with Linden Hall here. The special number for this concert was the S'Battle Hymn of the Republicu. The regular numbers used throughout the year were Adoramus Te by Palestrina and selections from 'fH.lXfI.S. Pinaforeu by Gilbert and Sullivan. The Glee Club helped in the general effort to push the fund drive forward by helping in the making of a recording for presentation with a film which has been made of The Hill. For the final Humanities concert of the year, the Glee Club sang most of the choral work from the opera Boris Godunovn by Mussorgsky. This opera is representative of Russian music and is probably the greatest work of this nature to come out of Russia. The scene of the opera which was given the greatest emphasis, as it is generally considered the best scene, is the coronation scene. For the first time, a girls school took place in such a Hill program. The school which was honored by thus being asked to aid The Hill in this undertaking was the Agnes Irwin School. Michael Rhodes of the Metropolitan Opera sang the male lead in the opera and a girl now studying in Philadelphia sang the female equiv- alent. Accompanying the singing was Bob Eicher. The organ was in the capable hands of Kenneth Zimmerali to free Mr. Tuttle for conducting. A number of gentlemen from the Philadelphia Orchestra were borrowed for the performance. The Glee Club prepared the intricate performance on their own time to prevent the use of free time for such work. All presentations given at home are recorded by a tape recorder located in the recording room through microphones put up shortly in front of the motion 208 GLEE CLUB Director: Mr. Tuttle.

These tapes are checked and played to help improve perfomance and to give outsiders an idea of the sound of the Glee Club. Facilities are available to record binaurally, which gives three-dimensional sound through the use of two microphones and tape run on two separate tracks. Music was provided to accompany the various concerts by Miss Lotta Young on the piano. As mentioned above, Butcher was president. Under him was Pete Buhler in the oH5ce of vice-president. The secretary-treasurer during the year was Bill Abernethy. ln the positions of which no one has heard, manager, were Walt Diener and John Moxon. These people were elected to these posts during the previous year. Most members of the Glee Club also serve in the positions of choir members. This activity requires time to practice hymns and anthems. This group is used Sundays to augment the student body and provide a backing for the collection, Amens are practiced in preparation for the regular chapel services. The choir occupies the chancel oi the chapel and leads the student body during hymns. Another function of the choir which is not connected with its singing ability is its provision of a procession for church services. The members are expected to maintain a standard of behavior as an example to the student body. 209 CHOIR Front row: Freed, Abernethy, Butcher, M., Mr. Tuttle, Buhler, Dienet.

Sixth row: Butcher, J., Ong, Gunn, Brayman, Daniels, Winthrop, Edgar, Jamison, Paine. Almost taken for granted by the student body during the school year, the choir comes into its own on only two occasions. These two times are in connec- tion with the major holy days of the Christian year. The first in point of time is the Christmas Candlelight Service which was given this year, as every year, on the last Sunday before the school ended for its Christmas Vacation. A feature of this service was the formation of a candle-lit cross for the singing of selected Christmas music. The second annual choir presentation is the Easter Service. The high point of the service this year was the traditional presentation of the '5l5Oth Psalmw in the setting by Cesar Franck. Mr. Tuttle occupied his position as organist and director of the choir. When he is unable to provide the music for the regular chapel service, his place is taken by Mr. David G. Eddy. Dave Gates is studying the organ under Mr. Tuttle and occasionally plays it in chapel. Dave is a Fourth Former. A small group of gifted individuals within the Glee Club has formed itself into a club known as the Hilltones. This aggregation specializes in the presen- tation of numbers involving the use of harmony and of special arrangements of popular songs, standards, and folk songs. They sing these numbers without accompaniment. Mr. Tuttle originated this group a few short years ago and has always held the position of director. 210 HILLTONES Mr. Tuttle. Standing: Freed, Biesel, Butcher, Mandelkorn, Abernethy, Abeson, Brown, M., Diener, Jones, M.. Day, R. Buhler. The first performance for this school year of the Hilltones was in Morning Ex. on the Saturday of Fathers' Weekend. This day may be called to mind as the one on which Hill teams met Lawrenceville. The group also accepted invi- tations to perform at Valley Forge Veterans Hospital. They did so, and told a number of interesting things observed on the trip. Last year, the group went to the Woman's Club of Pottstown to put on a show. This year they made the same trip, but to the men's club. The Yale Jamboree occupied some of their time. At home, the main duty of the Hilltones was to present some form of enter- tainment during dances given by the Glee Club for schools with which it had joint concerts and at the Winter Term and Spring Term Dances. The smaller group warmed up for singing on the dance Hoor by treating the boys and girls in the Sixth Form Living Room to a concert before they went on the dance floor. It would be hard to sum up such a well-rounded musical program, but it might be said that it provides both a chance for the exceptional singer to show OH his skills and an opportunity for the average person who likes music and is willing to keep up a certain standard and devote some time to a field in which he is interested to join in the enjoyment of his hobby. The year just completed has seen music go to a higher position in the estimation of the student body and of the faculty. It might be said that music is finally having an ever greater chance to partake in the upsurge evident in extra curricular activities and reach a better position in the school. To summarize: the Glee Club has had another successful year at The Hill and is looking forward to more of the same in the future. 211 Urchestra and Band HE Hill School Symphony Orchestra has just concluded another very success- ful school year. The musical organization. under the direction of Mr. Hans Nix, has been praised as being the best unit in many years. The orchestra, which is composed of only twenty-six members, all of whom are fairly advanced musi- cians, is well-balanced and is an enjoyable and highly rewarding activity. The orchestra meets on Tuesday and Friday every week. and the elected officers are. Greg Holniberg as President, Bob NVeller at the Vice President position, and Dave Blatchford as Secretary-Treasurer. The orchestra participated in four concerts and dinner dances in con- junction with the Glee Club in the Wlinter Term. and then ended its activities with a performance at the Spring Term Morning Exercise Program. The group played host to the Ellis Country Day School, mid-way in the term, for its first concert, and then a week later, traveled to The Baldwin School. After the lapse of a week, the orchestra went to the Shipley School, and just before Spring vacation ended its activities by entertaining Linden Hall Academy at The Hill. ORCHESTRA Sealed: Echenberg, Frank. Firrt row: Dickieson. Dickey. Melrose. Second row: Borehert. Moore. Alford, Rust. Blatchford. Holmbt-rg, Herzel. Siutkowski. Mennen. Jones. MARCHING BAND Leader: Chester. First row: Dickey, Audette, Bochcrt. VanRcnsselaer. Second row: Menncn, Alford, Echenberg, Melrose. Third row: Weller, Moore. Frank, Platte. The orchestrals program consisted of live pieces, with a few changes as the season progressed. They were as follows: The National Anthem, Richard Wagner's Operas, 'QA Night on Bald Mountaini' by Moussorgsky, '4Song of the Flame , HKeltic Lament by H. Foulds. The Final two, HLa Mascarada' by Harold L. Wlalters and 'fHand Me Down My Swingin, Cane by Charles Lee Hill, were particularly popular amongst the boys and girls of the schools. The Band, which consists of the Orchestra minus the string section, is also a very popular activity among the musicians of the school. The Band is also under the direction of Mr. Nix and was active mainly in the Fall Term. Due to having only eighteen members, the organization was unable to play in all home football games as it did last year. It did, however, participate at the Lawrence- ville-Hill football game, and marched between the halves under the leadership of Colby Chester. In the Fall Term the Band closed out its activities by taking part in pre-game pep rallies. ln the Spring Term, the Band and Orchestra closed out their activities with their annual dinner held at Brookside Country Club. 213 Dramat URING the Spring Term Dance weekend, The Hill School Dramat, under the direction of Mr. Ellis, successfully presented the play, The Desperate Hoursw. This play, written by Joseph Hayes, was produced two seasons ago on Broadway, and was later made into a moving picture. The plot deals with the invasion of a middle-class American home by three escaped convicts, who planned to use it as a hideout. The Desperate Hoursi' was also concerned with the effect that the situation produced on the family, as well as the police officers that were seeking the fugitives. Much of its dramatic effectiveness was derived from an alter- nation of scenes between the house and the Sheriffs office. The rugged, but warped, leader of the trio, Glenn Griffin, was played by Jack Graves, the Secretary of the Drarnat. GriHin's younger brother, Hank, was played by a newcomer to the Dramat, Albie Maurice. Another new member was Dick Yule, who took the part of Robish to round out the convict trio. The four representatives of the law were: Jim Rich as a soft-spoken F.B.I. agent, Harry Carson, Dick Mercier-Cointreau as the cynical old Lieutenant Fredericksg Dennis Huston, who played Tom Winston, a detectiveis assistant, and Bruce Partridge, the President of the club, as Deputy Sheriff Jesse Bard, The family whose house was invaded was made up of two students and two faculty wives. Mike McClory and Mrs. Swift played Mr. and Mrs. Daniel C. Hilliard. Their nineteen year old daughter, Cindy, was acted by Mrs. Custer. Colby Chester appeared as Ralphie, the youngest Hilliard. The cast was completed by Mrs. Little, who appeared as Miss Swift, Ralphie's school teacher 3 Bob Sykes as Chuck Wright, Cindy's sporty fiance, and finally, Hank Enberg as Mr. Patter- son, the ill-fated garbage man. The concise, crisp, and yet sonorous voice of the radio announcer was supplied by Mr. Ellis. One of the major difficulties that the play presented was that of setting and scenery. The set called for was extremely complex: for one thing, both floors of the Hillard home had to be placed on stage. This particular problem was solved by the use of a split-level stage, made by Bill Tone, the Stage Manager, who directed the activities of this side of the production. In order to create the illusion of height, the second story of the house was set approximately thirty inches above the level of the living room. Also called for was a Sheriffis office, which had to be erected on one side of the stage. Despite the limitation in size of the Memorial Hall stage, this was very effectively taken care of by the StageManager. In charge of the many sound and lighting effects necessary, as well as the intercommuni- cation apparatus of the police officers, was Sandy Morgan. Frank D,Lauro aided in the stage work and was also responsible for arranging the program of the play. Mr. Bristol and his men, following Bill Tone's plans, did most of the construction work on the set, which was furnished by Blocks Furniture Store of Pottstown. The play was directed by Mr. Ellis, who also revised and to a certain extent rewrote it to make it more suitable for presentation. This was Mr. Ellis' second major production here, the extremely successful presentation of last year, 'fThe Caine Mutiny Court Martialu, was also under his direction. 214 DRAMAT Seated: MeClory, Graves, J., Tone, Huston. Second row: Mr. Wood, Mr. Ellis, Mr. Custer, D'Lauro. Third row: Stiles, Berkowitz, Sykes, Cutler. Missing: Partridge, Symonds. Although the membership of The Hill School Dramat is drawn from those participating in the major Spring Term production, dramatics here include far more than this one play. For example, a group of those interested in acting, and not too deeply involved in 4'The Desperate Hours , produced James Barrie's The Willi' in The Little Theatre early in the Spring Term. The play concerns the changes in attitude of a husband and wife as the years pass after their marriage, Among the principals in the production were: Hank Enberg, Dennis Huston, jeff johnson, and Bob Sykes. Mrs. Custer appeared as the young wife. The play was directed for The Little Theatre by Mr. Custer, who has produced and directed several plays presented there, including a program of scenes from some of Shake- speare's more familiar plays, which was staged in the Spring of 1956. Earlier in the year, just before the Christmas Vacation, a dramatic reading of an arrangement fby Mrs. Ricej of the well-known :Christmas Carol of Dickens was presented by several members of the Dramat and two faculty wives. Although done on extremely short notice, the reading was praised as uinformal' and Hcapablew by a reviewer in The NEWS. The eight that participated in the reading were: Colby Chester, jack Graves, a magnificently eerie combination of Marleyis Ghost and the Spirit of Christmas, Dennis Huston: Mike McClory, the narrator, Bruce Partridge, a totally unpleasant, rasping old Scrooge: Bob Sykes, and Mrs. Little and Mrs. Tuttle. The reading, done informally before the fireplace in the Science Library, was directed by Mr. Ellis. At the time of the writing of this article, plans were being laid for an outdoor production in the Dell Theatre. Tentatively scheduled for this presentation late in the Spring Term was Euripides, 'gThe Cyclopsn. 215 Blatehford, Kerehner. Gunn, Sutherland. K. The Titans HENEVER a few cool notes are needed around the campus, an elite group known as the Titans is on hand to supply them. Begun a few years ago as a Dixieland jazz band, this little combo has progressed along the path of evolution to its present position as an exponent of the latest in music, modern jazz. One of the Titans, most popular functions were the occasional concerts given in Memorial Hall before the Saturday night movies. The band also per- formed during Glee Club dances and in the Pipe Club on the Saturday after- noons of the Winter and Spring Term dances. At the start of the year, try-outs for the jazz band were held. From the many who appeared at these sessions, five were chosen. The leader of the group was Kenny Sutherland, who held down the piano bench. Barry Kerchner, Potts- townls contribution to jazz, blew up a storm with his saxophone. Backing up Barry and Ken with his rhythm was Dave HBiggie Blatchford on the drums. The Titans featured two guitarists, Fifth Former Keith Gunn and John Mambo Wood. Completing a trend that started a few years ago, the Titans have for- saken the cruder, more primitive jazz for a newer, more subdued and refined form known as modern jazz. This more sophisticated music is typified by the Titans' theme song, L'Lullaby of Birdlandf' and by other similar songs. Thus, the jazzmen have shifted from the red hot to the 'gutterly coolf' YVith its many appearances this year, the Titans have made jazz at The Hill an important part of school life and, with Sutherland and Gunn back next year, they should continue to do so. 216 P L 1 3 f 5 Sw 3 Qsymv ' 45 2, ' 5 QSGWXQ .Law ' .

During the year, matters such as a television set for the fourth formersg a greater amount of liberty on Saturday nights, student supervision of the work-jobs, and a way of improving the grading system, have been discussed in this group. Boys from all Hve forms compose the Student Council which meets every other Sunday morning. Bob Funkhouser has presided over the meetings, being President of the Sixth Form. Ty Porter has been this yearis Vice-President while Jim Detrixhe has been the Secretary. The first issue that was discussed by the Student Council was the idea of obtaining a television set for the Fourth Form. Although previously having a television set was a Fifth and Sixth Form privilege, many students thought that Fourth Forrners should also have the same advantage for enjoyment in their spare time. The idea was quickly approved, and soon a television set was placed in Donner Hall for the Fourth Form. However, because of the great confusion that arose in Donner Hall, the television set was moved to the third floor of Middle School where it is now located. Une of the major issues that was discussed by the Council was the problem of Saturday nights. The Student Council felt that a greater amount of freedom should be given to all members of the school. One of the most progressive steps in this direction was making the movies optional for all members of the school. Students of the upper two forms were allowed to remain in their dormitories while the movie was being shown in Memorial Hall. Besides having the choice of going either to the Library or study hall, members of all the forms were allowed to work in any division of the Arts and Crafts Building. Unfortunately, it was impossible for the school to hold athletic contests on Saturday nights. The Student Council discussed this idea thoroughly, but too many problems arose which hindered its development. A main topic of discussion in several of the year's meetings was a student supervision of the workjob system. It was felt by the Council that Sixth Formers could supervise over the various workjobs instead of the faculty. In order to have student supervision, every available boy in school must help in the workjob situation. Therefore prefects would have to participate in the program. The Council thought it would be best to have the prefects act as supervisors, since they have no workjobs. In order to get enough supervisors, it would be necessary for one boy, who has a short workjob, to do two of them. By this doubling up on workjobs, a few extra boys would be available who could act as supervisors. The Student Council also explored the development of a more efficient marking system. Since many members of the student body thought that an 220 STUDENT COUNCIL Seated: Mr, Jackson, Wiley, Porter, T., Funkhouser. Detrixhc, Mr. Hall. Standing: Mc-r sc-reau, Harris.

A proposal was made whereby the student would not receive a term average but 'ust a final vear's average. B this ro osal the D f QD y 5 studentas average in each subject would be calculated by the use of twelve grades. Each one of the seven lists and the Fall Term exam would count one Grade. and C , the final exam would count three grades. Another proposal was made whereby the masters would grade percentage-wise, other than bv our usual system How- ever, it was learned that grading by percents would present a Great amount of bookkeeping by the masters. Also,'it would be extremely diHicuTt to grade a theme or a term paper by percents. The idea of making re-exams optional also was discussed by the Council. If any of these reforms do come about, they will not occur until next year. The Student Council has had a very active year in discussing and bringing about reforms which have improved the conditions of the student body. Bv voicing their complaints and suggestions through various representatives the students of The Hill have received many added responsibilities and privileges. 221 5 Christian Association 'HE Hill Christian Association was as successful in doing worthwhile jobs this year as it has been since its founding in 1899. For its unusually low number of fifty active members, Frank Richardson acted as chairman, Stan Medina as Treasurer, and Wilmott Williams as Secretary. Since the individual committees were dissolved last year, a main Committee was formed to help the officers whenever possible and to take charge of various activities such as the fund drive and the clothing drive. The committeemen this year were Don LeStage, Cy Adams, and Paul Albert. One of the major achievements made by the Christian Association this year was the annual fund drive. Under the able supervision of Stan Medina and Frank Richardson the drive totaled over eighteen hundred dollars, topping the goal of sixteen hundred dollars and breaking all existing records for money collected in past years. Most of the money collected by the fund drive is used for contributions to the United Fund, to other worthy charitable organizations, and for the printing of the New Boy Handbook. A copy of the handbook, the main publication of the Christian Association, is given to each new boy on his arrival at The Hill. It is printed to help the new students familiarize themselves with the school clubs, organizations, and traditions and also contains a preview of each of the Hillis varsity athletic teams. The New Boy Handbook is an important publication as many new boys in the past can vouch for the help that it has given them in their Hrst weeks at The Hill. Another drive under the Christian Association's direction this year was the clothes drive which was headed by Paul Albert. Although not as many clothes were collected as were expected, the drive was still very successful. The H.C.A. sends these clothes to the American Friends Service Committee who distributes them among the needy people overseas. As in past years, a few members of the Christian Association had the oppor- tunity to attend the Buck Hill Falls Religious Conference in the Pocono Moun- tains. The boys left The Hill on Friday of the First week in February and re- turned the following Saturday. During their stay at Buck Hill Falls, the boys spent most of their time in groups discussing various segments of religion and of religious life. The chosen few this year were Paul Albert, Larry George, Tom Snively, Fred Stericker, and Don Williams. For the fifth straight year the Christian Association is sponsoring two Southern schools, the Clinchco School and the Weavers Creek School. These are supported mainly by the money collected weekly in Chapel. During the last week of the Spring Term vacation, a number of Christian Association members visit these schools in Virginia for a period of five days. During their stay, these boys spend many hours in both schools speaking with the teachers, children, and parents on their problems and trying to give them help in any way that they can. They also take pictures of the schools and surrounding areas which are shown in Memorial Hall during the Fall Term of the following year. The trip was made this year by Cy Adams, Gordon Aydelott, Charles Frank, Wilmott Williams, and Stoney Duffey. All agreed that the trip was a very worthwhile experience. 222 CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Seated: Medina, Richardson, Mr. Brown. Standing: Lcstagf-, D., Albert, Adams, C., Wil- liams, W. Each week end, during the Wlinter and Spring Terms, volunteer Sixth Formers are sent to the slum areas of Philadelphia to week-end work camps. These boys assist the people who live in the slums in cleaning up their homes and neighborhoods and in making their community a better place in which to live, As a result of the freedom riots in 1956 in Hungary, this yearis Christian Association decided to send two hundred dollars to the Hungarian Emergency Relief Organization. The purpose of this contribution is to aid the poor and homeless of that devastated land in their struggle. Toward the end of the year, plans were started for the construction of a summer camp for underprivileged children of Philadelphia and outlying districts. The camp is hoped to begin being constructed this summer along a lake near Philadelphia and is hoped to be completed by next summer. A Hill master will be in charge of the camp. A cook and a doctor will be the only outside help at the camp, all other positions being taken by Hill students of the upper forms. A pre-medical student from a nearby college will be found to act as the doctor for the camp. This project can prove to be one of the greatest accomplishments that the Christian Association has done in its long history. It will certainly serve to create more interest in the H.C.A. among the student body. All students who feel that they would like doing such welfare are urged to join the H.C.A. The retiring committee of the Christian Association wishes to express thanks for the immense help given them by the three faculty advisors, Mr. St. John, Mr. Herbert, and Rev. Mark L. Brown. 223 Debatin labs EBATING at The Hill continued this year to grow in scope and size. Under the Presidency of Bruce Partridge and Frank Hayne, the two clubs operated more successfully than in the last few years. School interest had risen, also, as shown by record breaking crowds at the debates held in the Little Theatre every Thursday night. Assisting Partridge, who headed the Wranglers, was Vice-President Jim Jones, while filling the corresponding position under Hayne in the E. D. was Bill Abernethy. At the beginning of each term, tryouts were held for any boys who wanted to become members of one of the societies. This year, a record number of boys- twenty-tried out, of which Hve were accepted. Each candidate had to prepare and deliver a speech on an assigned topic. These speeches were judged by the Executive Board of each Club and Mr. Ellis. The accepted candidates were divided between the two clubs. Mr. Ellis 'was again the very active faculty advisor to the clubs. Debates were usually held every Thursday during the school year. Each week two boys from each team debated. The main speeches were Five minutes long, while the rebuttals lasted from two to three minutes. The debates were judged by different faculty members each week. At the beginning of the year, a Colgate Cup was awarded to Frank Hayne, for excellence in debating. On November third, a debate was held in Mem. Hall on the topic g'Resolved: That the Democrats should be elected to officef' The affirmative was upheld by Dave Dickey and Bruce Partridge, while Jim Jones and Russ Watson took the negative. Although neither side was declared the winner, everyone agreed that the debate was one of the finest of the Fall Term. Later in the term, Bill Abernethy and Frank Hayne paid a visit to Potts- townfs Chapter of the Fraternal order of the Moose to meet Perkiomen School in debate. The topic was :':Reso1ved, That the United States demand a commit- ment to an anti-Soviet policy, before extending economic or military aid to any countryf' The Perkiomen team put up an unorganized fight, and The Hill team, debating the affirmative, came through with a smashing victory. Three other inter-camp debates were held during the Fall Term, but the one that probably caused the most attention was the one over Elvis Presley. Specifically the topic was: HResolved, That Elvis Presley and Rock and Roll are a degrading influence on American youthf, Dave Dickey and George Kellner of the affirmative Wranglers took the victory over Jeff Johnson and Hank Enberg of the in a poorly debated contest. The first debate of the Winter Term was an inter-camp debate between Ian Duff and Ticky Simmonds of the W'ranglers and Charles Steger and Norman Pearlstine of the They debated the topic of Free Speech, and the afhrma- tive VVranglers were declared the winners by a unanimous decision. Later on in the term there was a debate between the officers of the two clubs. The topic under discussion was: 'EResolved, That the United States should take immediate steps to liberate the satellite countries. Bruce Partridge and Jim Jones were again able to win over the Q.E.D. The third debate of the term was a humorous, 224 DEBATING TEAM Seated: Hayne, Mr. Ellis, Partridge. Standing: Abernethy, Jones, extemporaneous debate. They debated the topic of Hypocrisy. The officers of the two clubs again comprised the two teams debating the resolution. The fact that made this debate interesting was that neither team knew what topic they were debating until that night at dinner, and were not told what side they were debating until ten minutes before the debate started. Although a winner was not determined, both sides did a commendable job in providing those who listened with a very humorous debate. The last debate of the Wfinter Team was held on the topic: Resolved, That students should have control of the discipline system at The Hill School. De- bating the resolution were Tom Hayward and David Dickey of the Wranglers and Steve Trott and Jim Haise of the The negative VVranglers were able to win the debate by a split decision over the So far this year the VVranglers are undefeated in inter-camp debates, and the members of the club are hoping that they will be able to keep their unblemished record throughout the Spring Term. All in all, the debating clubs have enjoyed a fuller and more productive year than for many years past. The officers of the two clubs have found that they were forced to expand the membership because of the increasing interest of debating as an extra-curricular activity. This is largely due to the increased interest of the members in giving debates of better quality, and the increased amount of spectators that the inter-camp debates are now attracting. It is hoped that next year will be even more fruitful. 225 Abernethy, Partridge, Huston, Adams, C., Hayne. Cum Laude URING the Junior Prize Day exercises in the Fall Term, Mr. Robert S. Cowperthwaite, president of The Hill School Chapter of the Cum Laude Society, presented the gold keys and certificates which symbolize membership in that organization to seven members of the Sixth Form who showed high scholar- ship in their studies during the Fifth Form year. Recipients were VVilliam B. Abernethy, Cyrus H. Adams IV, Richard W. Garvine, Franklin B. Hayne Jr., J. Dennis Huston, Elliott G. Lichtman, and R. Bruce Partridge, Jr. At graduation, another group from the Sixth Form, having compiled a good record this year, will be admitted into the Society. The Cum Laudeas object is the encouragement of high ideals of work in secondary schools, as expressed by its motto, 'SEXcellence, Honor, Justice. The Society, which accords recognition to students on the basis of high scholastic standing, is modeled after the Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity, an honor society in colleges and universities. The Hill School Chapter was founded in 1921 by the late Mr. Rolfe, who taught at The Hill for a long period of time. Mr. Isaac Thomas was President until his death in the fall of 1952. At that time, Mr. Cowperthwaite was elected to take the position. 226 iiayne. nien, Abc-rnethy. Partridge. Adams, C., Mr. Hall, Huston, Mr. Chancellor, Cutler Berkowitz, Cumrner. English Club VERY other Thursday night ten Sixth Formers assemble in Mr. Hallis living- room for a two hour meeting of the E Ul' h l b g ng IS c u . This organization is com- posed of students elected in recognition of their achievements in English com- position and interest in literature. The English Club was founded in 1915 by acting headmaster Alfred Rolfe who advised the club for twenty-five years. Five students are elected in th , departing members of the club. These members in turn elect tive additional mem- bers at the beginning of the next year. At each meeting of this club one of the members gives a report dealing with the life and works of some author or poet supplementing the talk with readings from the authors' works. This year the subjects have been many and varied, ranging from Robert Frost to S. Coleridge. After the presentation of the report, of I ' ' a genera discussion of the mans effect on his ave and on liter t ' , . g A a ure in general follows.

This year's membership was limited to around a dozen members and was presided over by Cy Adams. Mr. Rice and Mr. Herbert are advisors to the club which meets at the Pipe Club after dinner until chapel on Sunday. This year's Club heard formal dissertations and informal talks on many subjects, given by both members and guest speakers. The main subjects discussed pertained to world problems and current affairs, although The Hill was not forgotten. During the VVinter Term, one of the guest speakers was Rabbi Schorsch, of the Mercy and Truth Synagogue of Pottstown. The club expects a good year to be in the ofiing from next year's sixth form, and many of next yearis members have been chosen. Sixth form new boys, especially exchange students, whose different views, it is felt, help to give an insight into many of the problems under discussion, are given an opportunity to join. All prospective members, are made to undergo the ordeal of a three-minute extemporaneous speech, after only one minute to think on the assigned topic, which is usually difficult, and designed to hinder the appli- cant. As a rule, prospective members survive to enjoy a stimulating year with the club. 228 Seated: Van Nuys, Bryant, Rosen, N. Standing: Drain, Seymour, Wight, Trainer, Knott, Waxman. Co-op Committee HE Co-op Committee this year has upheld the traditionally efhcient and profitable running of the Sixth Form Co-op. The Co-op has been managed by a Senior Committee since its origin in the Spring of 1948 when HDocw Green announced that he would discontinue supplying the upper-classmen with nightly refreshments. Utilizing only one ice-box in the west end of its present location in the basement of the Upper School, the Co-op had its beginning. The Co-op Committee is composed of twenty-one members of the Sixth Form selected from a hoard of volunteers at the opening of the Fall term by Messrs. Jackson and Revell, the Faculty advisors to the Co-op. Committee members must serve at the Co-op four evenings every term. Following the Law- renceville football game, members of the Fifth Form are granted equal privileges with the Sixth Form, assuming with the Sixth Form the duty of serving twice a term behind the counter. Administering and recording the nightly profits are the duties of a Committee member. Profits from the Co-op are utilized for the maintenance of the television rooms and the Hnancing of the Dial. Each year a large donation is also contributed to the Pottstown Community Chest. Judging from the profits, the student Committee has managed the Sixth Form Co-op extremely successfully by keeping the myriad of patrons in a reason- ably orderly line while ordering and paying for their refreshment. 229 Abernethy. First row: Buhler. Cozzie. jones, J., Partridge, Hayne. Second row: Stevens, Butcher, M., Pence, Adams, C. cience Club HE Science Club is a new organization founded last Spring. It was originated and organized by this yearis President Bill Abernethy. Under the advisor- ship of Mr. Jackman, and the watchful eye of the rest of the science department, the twelve Sixth Formers meet every other week in the Colbath Memorial Lecture Room, At each meeting, one of the members gives a forty-live minute to an hour dissertation on some phase of science. Talks this year have varied from astron- omy, to rockets, to the nervous system. Various trips to points of nearby scientific interest were also undertaken during the Wlinter and Spring Terms of the year. The purpose of the group is to give a student the chance to become familiar with a subject through his own individual research, and to become acquainted with other aspects of science which might be outside his range of interest. In order to be a candidate for the club, a boy must have had a certain amount of science background, and a definite interest in the field, He must be willing to do considerable research on the subject for his talk, and may prepare slides, movies, experiments, or other demonstrations to supplement the speech. A nucleus of Fifth Formers is chosen at the end of the year, which in turn elects the remainder of its membership. This nucleus attends the last meeting of the old club in the Spring Term. 230 Hyatt, Mr, Anderson. Front row: Rief, Forker, Rich, Terin, Hnatt. Second row: Mcllvain, Dyer, George, Lewis, Holmberg, Rubini, Tone, Reese, Galloway. Reception Committee 'HE Reception Committee has been fully organized for the first time this year. For the first time, pins have been awarded, and a constitution drawn up. This committee, which Mr. Hall originated in 1951, has become more popular as the years passed and now, under the supervision of Messrs. Hall and Moffatt, numbers some seventeen members. OHicers of the Reception Committee are: Dave Hyatt, Chairman, Dave Forker, Sixth Form Officer, Danny Dyer, Fifth Form Oflicer, and Tom Galloway, Fourth Form Officer. Early this year, the committee held a banquet at which the officers and two friends of the organization were awarded pins for service to the group. Among the duties undertaken by the members of the committee are: the greeting and entertaining of all visitors to The Hill, the giving of a clear, accurate picture of the life at The Hill to applicants and their parents, and the aiding of guests attending special events, such as concerts, conferences, alumni gather- ings, and parents' week-ends. Membership in the organization is open to any interested Hill student who meets the qualifications for such membership. It is planned to keep the group a small manageable size if it is at all possible. Despite its six year history, it is the belief of the officers that the committee has only become really active this year. 231 Pqve Club HE Pipe Club Auxiliary of 1954- to 1955, more commonly known as the Far Fields P. C. or Fourth Form P. C., has taken over the leadership of the legal smoking organization, the Pipe Club, this year. Somehow Greg Borg and John Wood evaded the school detective long enough to become President and Secretary-Treasurer, respectively of both organizations, and Jim Sutherland has succeeded in weaseling his way into the oflice of Vice-President. All the members agree that it is much more pleasant to walk a few yards from the Upper School to the Pipe Club several times a day than to migrate to the Far Fields every week-end. In fact, the reformed gypsies have enjoyed their utopia so much that they made many physical changes in the structure of the building. Mole Borg instructed the Fall Term committee, Jim Rich, Bob Echenberg, Mike Waxman, Sandy Knott, and Rudi Rozsa all of the Sixth Form, and Andy Mesterhazy and Lee Mallory of the Fifth Form, in the fine art of digging. The committee and ofiqcers moved to the committee room and began the task of removing two hundred and fifty cubic feet or twenty-four tons of beautiful Pennsylvania red shale from the cellar. Mr. Evans, investigating the rising mountain outside the door of the com- mittee room, deducted that the Pipe Club Raunch Club CP. C. R. C.j was dig- ging its own steam tunnels. Mr. Bristol, also investigated the diggings, and deduced that the miners were weakening the building's foundations, and thus undermining their emporium. Alas, vacation time came, but the job of excavating was not completed! Winter Term came, and the 'SMole', had to instruct a new committee, Ken Rein- heimer, Rudi Rozsa, Dave Forker, Bob Echenberg, and Jack Goodyear represented the Sixth Form members, and Heston Potts and Ames Gardner represented the Fifth Formers. This committee adapted to the Mole's method so well that he had time to journey to the roof to inspect the construction of the Dave Hulihan and Jess all-new shelter. The calendar showed that dance week-end was members were scurrying around with paint brushes in supervision of master painter, Floyd Ong, the inside signs of change as members turned out in throngs to painting. Even Jim Rich and Mason Hicks came out up the extra privileges that others had earned. Meanwhile, back at the Arts and Crafts Building, coming soon. Suddenly their hands. Under the of the building showed earn extra privileges by of seclusion to help use Livermore worked on the mahogany cabinet of the Hi-Fi set, while Flac Stifel worked to assemble the components that would become a phonograph and an AM-FM radio, and Lee Mallory shoveled snow to pay for the thing. The end result of the remodelling was a cream-colored ceiling, blue walls, dark blue window seats, and new red seat covers and cushions, card tables and chairs, storage vaults for cigarettes, and side lighting fixtures. Even Mr. Rice climbed on to the furnishings bandwagon and gave the club a new mounted deer's head to adorn the fireplace chimney. It was a welcomed replacement for the motheaten moose. The Cowperthwaites, conforming, donated a piano. 232 PIPE CLUB COMMITTEE Seated: Wood, J., Borg, Sutherland, A. First row: Echenberg, Reinheirner, Goodyear, Wax- man, Rich, Potts, Mesterhazy. Second row: Gardner, Forker, Albert, Rozsa, Mallory. On the afternoon of February 16, about thirty girls visited the club. Members and their dates enjoyed dancing to the new Hi-Fi, gulping down gallons of coffee and hot chocolate, and stuffing themselves with a roast turkey and assorted cold cuts and cheeses. Immediately after the WVinter Term Dance, plans were made for improve- ments for the Spring Term Dance. Thus, Jim Berry and Ed Harris spent an enjoyable afternoon cutting down two trees that had been blocking sunlight. The Mole, who had been unemployed since the completion of the committee room, dug up the tree stumps, with the help of Ames Gardner, Lee Mallory, and Dave Forker. Mr. Bristol was worried again, as rumor had it that the P. C. R. C, was digging a swimming pool. But, the group confined its athletics to the basket- ball floor, where the P. C. A. C. starred against the Junior Varsity. The high- light of the Wfinter Term improvements, however, was the addition of three brand new, sparkling trash cans. Once again vacation time intervened, and work ceased. The members returned rested, energetic and well tanned. The exterior of the building was given a coat of white paint with dark grey trim. New sidewalks were installed, a new patio built, and a sizable area of grass replanted, making the Club a veri- table Country Club. After the successful Spring Term Dance the Pipe Club returned to its most popular and coveted activity-relaxation. 233 'S29 sl -'Q!Esw,,'7'f' CL UBS r Z V' , V XX f ' W if gf? H M ff 63V f f f A1 U !

Lew Wileyf remained President for the second year, while John Oliver, and John Zillhardt, were elected Vice-President and Secretary respectively. Mr. Long continued as the club's active advisor. At the weekly meetings held in the Levis Room the club saw movies on animal husbandry, conservation and forestry as well as on farming. This club does not content itself with weekly meetings, for whenever the opportunity arises, they take field trips. This year, the club visited, among other places, the New Holland Farm Machine Co., producer of many types of farm implements, and the eastern branch of the King Ranch, experi- menters in the growth of certain farm products, and noted for its steer raising. Arts and Crafts Committee 236 Agriculture Club The purpose of the committee, which started in 1953, is to keep the boys informed on the work that is being done in the three craft departments. It is on the lookout for boys who do not know about these departments, and deals with all problems arising about Arts and Crafts. When a master is ill, the members of the committee take charge for his department. In 1953, on Alumni Day, there was started an exhibition, which consisted of work from the three departments, and, since then has become an annual event. The committee helps to prepare these exhibitions and take them down. Meet- ings are held every two weeks, usually on Sunday evening after dinner. The committee consists of Dave Hulihan fchairmanj, Russ Watson, Terry Cummer, John Ruhnka, Flaccus Stifel, Jesse Livermore, and Peter Gore. Camera Club Sunday afternoons in the Science Library now have an added something. A number of chess fanatics fill the quiet with the click of man against man. Under the light supervision of its advisor, Mr. Custer, and with the advice of its officers, President Henry Enberg, Vice-President Charles Steger, and Treasurer Jonathan Fitch, the club has made a number of plans. This year's chess club is a revival of an organization which has existed at The Hill for a number of years. Last year, it was under the direction of Mr. Bristol. The aim of the club is to further an interest in chess among its members and others, and provides all the components, sets, location, and opponents needed to play good chess. Plans for the future included some outside competition. THE DIAL 1.957 The past year has been one of growth and increased activity for the Camera Club. In the weekly meetings in the Science Library, Mr. Whiteley and Mr. Jackman schooled the Hfteen members in the various stages of producing a good photograph, and the members reviewed and appraised each otheris achievements. On other evenings, the basement darkroom was used exten- sively for developing and enlarging. In the Spring Term, the club made a number of Held trips, on which they were able to put into practice, the techniques learned in the first two terms. The club olhcers this year were Dave Blatchford as President, and Pete Walker as Vice-President. Chess Club l 237 CLUBS Gun Club The Jazz Club of 1956-57 has kept the record player in the Levis Room at a driving beat for the entire year. Wfith waxes from all types of this art to listen to, an organization of about twenty boys has waged mock battles to determine which is the better form of Jazz: Dixie or Modern. Terry Cummer has filled the oHice of President while Taffy Symonds has attempted to extricate dues from the club members while also serving as Vice-President. The club owes many thanks to its enthusiastic advisor, Mr. Demarec. He is the custodian of the records and referees the fights for the trip permissions. The record collection of the organization now numbers nearly Hftv. 238 The Gun Club, one of the oldest organizations in the school, has again enjoyed a very successful year. The club was again under the advisor- ship of Mr. Paul A. Minault, who has been very pleased with the records of achievement his members have been turning in. Members of the club are allowed to shoot in the Cunningham fifty-yard range every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday between 2:20 and 3:00 P.M. At that time they may work towards N .R.A. ratings, which range from pro- marksman to distinguished riHemen. Three boys, James Detrixhe, Dennis Rubini, and James Pickering, because of their continued interest in the club have been able to earn many of the N.R.A. marksmanship awards. Due to the intense interest in this organization, a boy may use one of the Eve shooting ports at only one of the two shifts on one of the three days. Jazz Club Every Sunday afternoon, a congenial group of students meet in the Levis Room for the purpose of furthering their literary talents. Under the leader- ship of the president Jack Graves, Jack Moberly, and the faculty advisor Mr. St. John, the club had expanded from the eight members of last year to a record twenty-five members this year. Though the original purpose of the Literary Club was to write for the Record, it has been enlarged to in- clude the analysis of themes, writing of original papers, and study of au- thors. The meetings of the club are always well attended and are lively and informative. More along the line of pleasure, the members see movies on pertinent subjects and have hall feeds. The membership is comprised of Third through Sixth Formers. Outing Club THE DIAL 1.95 7 Literary Club 1 On various weekends during the school year a group of boys can be seen leaving the campus. Accompanied by a master, these students are on the way to spend a weekend at Gordon Clement Camp. Members of The Outing Club, these boys are permitted to leave The Hill School Saturday afternoon, and after spending a relax- ing and enjoyable time at the camp, usually return to school Sunday after- noon. During the time at the club, they are able to cook their own meals which usually consist of steak and roast beef. The club with Tom Hayward as President, Dennis Rubini as Vice- President, and Tony Fiore as Secre- tary-Treasurer is under the direction of Mr. Jackman. 239 CL UBS This year the Radio Club, operating under the call letters W3MWL, has enjoyed a very successful year. The of- ficers for this year are President Dave Reese, Vice-President Jim Moore, Sec- retary Walt Diener and Treasurer Flac- cus Stifel. Some of the activities that the members participated in during the Winter Term were code classes for those in the club who wanted to im- prove their present abilities, and movies for anyone interested in radio theory. The club is now using a new transmit- ter which was bought last Spring Term. To further improve the shack , a rotor antenna, which is situated on top of the Science Building, was re- built. This year the Radio Club is proud to say that the amount of inter- ference on radios throughout the cam- pus has diminished congderably. Spanish Club 240 Radio Club The Spanish Club completed its sec- ond year after its reorganization in 1956. Club officers were: Gustavo Es- cobedo, President, Jack Goodyear, Vice-President, and Gustavo Zingg, Secretary-Treasurer. Advisor to the club was Mr. Kenneth M. Brown. The Club which meets every Thurs- day after dinner in the Winter and Spring Terms reduced its membership from thirty to eighteen boys in the be- ginning of the year. The purpose of the club is to promote interest in the culture and language of the Spanish speaking countries. Its members are chosen on the basis of their linguistic interest and ability. Included in the activities of the club were three picnics and a program of two long movies and a number of short ones for the Spring Term, plus the regular meetings. Stamp and Coin Club In the proud annals of The Hill no organization can claim a more varied or more intense approach to the hid- den corners of the human mind than SURM. From the tactical training of termites to the psychological and propa- gandistic aspects diverting class ques- tions, SURM stresses Intellectual Curi- osity and Action! Action! Action! Here at his microscope, the Founder con- tinues his unceasing search for the bet- terment of society's toiling masses and drones alike. Plans for the future include an isotopic treatment of Potts- town weather, which will render the area entirely uninhabitableg an elec- tronic warning system for the approach of hostile mastersg and a corps of at- mospherically sensitive fruit flies which will tell whether or not Wolfschmitt has been here. In an age of neurotic auto- mation SURM is our only hope. 4'Better things for better hacking - through SURMV' THE DIAL 195 7 Since it was started in 1949, the Stamp Club has grown to be quite an active organization. With Michael Pane as acting president, and Mr. Bowers as faculty advisor, the club has had a very successful year. Several exhibitions were planned and set up in the Library and the Levis Room. One of these was the excellent stamp collection of Mr. John Kessler, a gift to the School last September. It was shown during the Fall and Winter Terms. Another exhibition was pre- pared which included the various postage stamps of the United Nations. The members of the club visited a museum in Philadelphia, in which they were able to see and read about famous collections. Meetings of the Stamp Club are held on Sundays in the Levis Room at which future plans of the club or pertinent topics are discussed. S URM Club 241 CLUBS Western Club The Yacht Club this year, in addi- tion to regular movies and lectures, engaged in a revival of racing com- petition with Princeton, and was successful in beating the Princeton Frosh. The club also made several trips of interest, including one to the Boat Show in New York. A series of lectures was held cover- ing the fine points of the racing rules, so that the club members going to the annual I. Y. R. A. sailing champion- ship might be well primed. The club this year was under the leadership of Alex Armentrout, Com- modore, B. Williams, Vice Commo- dore, and Stoney Duffey, Rear Com- modore. The faculty advisor, Mr. Whiteley, contributed greatly to making this a successful year for the club. 24-2 During the past year in the dark- ness of the tube room, second floor up- per school, the members of the Western T.V. Club gathered to relive the days of the colossal, Old West. They lived and fought beside famous men such as Cheyenne Brodie, Wyatt Earp, and Matt Dillon, who brought law and order to the untamed cities of the West. The qualities that distinguish the programs from ordinary Wild West dramas are the men, hard and tough. We have seen these men, like Chey- enne, shoot an escaping man in the back, not once but three times. Matt Dillon has shot a man and left him to die in the dusty main street of Dodge City. These men do not have fancy dress and they do not wear two guns, just one, because they nknow what it is all aboutf, Wyatt Earp even shot an innocent man in the back with his Buntline Special, which features a twelve inch barrel. QMany Club mem- bers have ordered authentic gun metal plastic replicas of the Buntline Spe- cialj. Yacht Club funior PFZE6 Da William B. Abernethy R. Bruce Partridge Jr. Richard W.

FOxcr0ft 5-6598 293 ME-AN ENGINEER Like many young men, you may have asked yourself that ques- tion. Perhaps we can help-by answering three questions that have an important bearing on your decision. 'l. Will Your Work Be Important? As an engineer, you will be doing highly essential work-design- ing refineries . . . planning atomic power plants . . . engineering vast pipeline systems. 2. Will You like Your Work? The world--perhaps even the universe-will be your work place. And you'll be teamed with the keenest, most imaginative men of your generation. 3. Will the Opportunity for Engineers Continue? Being in the mainstream of engineering development, we know that as great as are today's opportunities tomorrow's will be even greater.
