Doctor Frederick Luther Gamage, the Headmaster of Pawling, began his eminent career as a schoolmaster immediately upon his graduation from Brown University in 18X2. His first position was that of Greek Instructor in the Delaware Academy, Delhi, New York. In 1885 he was elected principal of the Oxford Academy, Oxford, New York, a place which he filled with the greatest success and honor until he was called to the larger and more important task of taking up the headmastership, in 1893, of St. Paul's Cathedral School, Garden City, Long Island, at that lime one of the growing and promising Church schools of the East. His success at St. Paul's is attested by the wonderful record which he made during the fourteen years in which he guided its destiny. He came into charge when St. Paul’s was a school of about sixty boys. When he resigned the headmastership in 1907, there was a total registra- tion of over one hundred and eighty boys, with a graduating class of almost sixty. An achievement as great as that is a sure guarantee of future recognition; and he had no sooner made public announcement of the fact, during the summer of 1907, that he would open a school the following fall, founded bv himself, in Pawling, New ork, than it was acclaimed with the intensest interest and enthusiasm by his former patrons and boys everywhere. Consequently he experienced no difficulty whatso- ever in opening school on the first of October, 1907, in the old Dutcher House, at Pawling, with seven masters and eighty-five students. lo the untiring efforts and the sincere devotion of this man Pawling School owes the enviable reputation and phenomenal success which it has won during the eighteen short years of its existence. As headmaster of Pawling, Dr. Gamage has worked along lines of scholarship and character building which he knows from long experience will be best for, and will bring out the best in every boy who comes under his care. He has always been a strong exponent of fair play and high ideals. He has ever tried to instill into the hearts of his boys those fine principles of manhood which are so nobly exemplified in his own character. The reason why he enjoys such splendid and hearty co-operation with the school, and with the Sixth Form in particular, is that he appeals to the side of the boy that is fine and fair, and deals with him, not so much as a headmaster, but as a trusted friend and counsellor who, every boy feels, knows just what is best for him in his own peculiar boyish difficulties. In this way he wins and keeps the hearts of his boys not only during their preparatory school days, when they are directly under his supervision and guidance, but after they have graduated and gone out into the larger life of college or business. I he Scroll takes much pride and pleasure in paying this well-earned tribute to the man who has done so much to make our Alma Mater what it is today. Further- more, we wish to assure the Doctor that the love and devotion which he showers upon the school is deeply felt and reciprocated by those who yearly go forth from her walls happier and richer boys, both in character and in learning. 15 aljr JFarultti JAMES M.

He was English instructor in Shattuck School at Faribault, Minn., in 1918, and remained there until 1920. 18 DR. JOSEPH EDWARD HARRY, A.B., Ph.D. Spanish and French Dr. Harry was graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 1889 with the degree of A.B., and later received a Ph.D. degree in Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin from the same institution.

Stephen Moffat Bull Newburgh, N. Y. -Sieve The first man in his class, yet he does not need the aid of the alphabet to put him on top. “Steve” is also one of the real old- timers, coming here in the fall of 1919. Since then he has been a valuable member of the football and swimming squads, and a bulwark of defense on the lacrosse team. We always thought of “Steve” as a quiet, modest boy, despite his hale and hearty two hundred pounds of bone and muscle, and were quite shocked when he got five votes for the noisiest boy in school. The one quality we have ad- mired more than anything else in Steve” is his absolute dependability. Never given to ostentation, he has always delivered the goods in a pinch, and we are proud to have such a truthful, reliable boy as a friend. Keep things moving, “Steve,” old boy.

George Lowerre Burdick Detroit, Mich. “Dort” Georgie “Dort,” as he is more affectionately called by his playmates, is leaving behind him a record that anyone might be proud of. He is one of the most promising athletes of his class, his brilliant play winning him the cap- taincy of basketball and tennis. He has also starred at football and baseball. Aside from athletics, he has been an invaluable member of the Sixth Form Council, and has served on various prom committees. The classroom holds no allurement for George, but in some way or other he has been able to keep up the pace, and grab off the ole’ sheepskin this June.

Gilbert Lincoln Cole Detroit, Mich. “Colie” “Gil” One of the best-natured boys in the school, “Colie” has won the friendship of everyone during his five-year stay here. We have ad- mired him for his clean, outspoken way, and liked him for his all-round good-fellowship. His interest and pride in all forms of school activities is unexcelled. “Gillie” possesses an incentive to do the right thing at the right time, and unless he is the victim of some beguiling young lady, he will live a long and happy existence. We hate to see one of the best of friends leave us, but we wish Gil” all the success which we know will be his.

Pre- fect, Manager of Track, Manager of Basket- ball, besides being a member of both teams, and Business Manager of the Dramatic Club, constitute just a few of the offices he has held. No one will, we are sure, be able to touch ‘‘Bill” in the science of “ritzing,” and the person who even approaches his perfection of social poise will be going some. He is the class candidate for the presidency of the Four Hundred. VALE 31 ’20-'21: Gym Squad.

Gerard Bkekmav Crook New York, N. Y. Jerry Reek Jerry” is one of the founders of his class, entering here as far back as 1920. For sev- eral years he was content to rest peacefully in detention, five o’clock, and evening study. In the last two years, however, someone pressed a hidden spring of energy, and Beek’’ has forged to the front, scholastically and athletically. He will not be head boy this year, or anything like that, but we venture to say he will surprise a few of the wiseacres when exams roll around. In fact, “Jerry” has something in common with one of the masters already, in that he never yet has been on time to meals. Beek” calls himself a confirmed woman hater, but we suspect a vulnerable spot somewhere, which some modern daughter of Eve is sure to find. We look for big things from you in college, “Jerry.” WILLIAMS 32 Robert Henry Field Providence, R.

Here is a boy who in two years has accom- plished more than most of us could in four. Besides being a member of the football squad, a forward on the hockey team, and a runner of the 440 in track, “Hank” is one of the boys whose constant labor has made this book possible. He has won honors in every phase of school life, and throughout all his activities has remained the same loyal friend to every- one. Perhaps his only bad habit, if it may be called such, is his voracious appetite. He is the class scavenger, but despite this tendency Hank” is one of the finest members of his class, and we will always be proud to claim him as a friend.

His smiling, happy-go-lucky way, always minding his own business, has won many friends for him. A glance at his rec- ord will show you what an active part he has taken in all forms of school life. His specialty is Track, and his superior on the cinder path would be hard to find. We don’t know which “Bill” likes best—his magazines, his sleep, or his “bull” sessions,—but we do know there is a warm spot in our hearts for the one and only -Goody.” BUSINESS 34 '21-’22: Midget Basketball, Midget Baseball.

Ian “Vecht1 “Good-natured” is the first word that comes to our mind in describing “Van.” This carefree son of the rocky hills of Vermont is one of the “Daddies” of his class, coming here in 1921. His dry wit has provoked us to laughter on more than one occasion. An injury to his back deprived us of his presence for a time, but “Vecht” came through with flying colors to get his “Sheepskin.” During our acquaintance with “Van,” it has been our good fortune to find him one of the best fellows, the most reliable of friends, and in every sense living up to those ideals which accompany a fellow of his type.

And a glance at his record will dissipate any such notions. “Hal” is out for everything. He holds the distinction of being the only boy in school to serve on all three publications. The reason “Hal” is able to do so many things and do them all well is that he has ac- quired the habit of making good use of all his time. He has always been sincere, earnest, and hard working, a friend and helper to all. Need we say more?

Austin Flint Hancock New York City, N. Y. Auku A glance at the position which “Aukie” has held since he first entered school some six years ago is sufficient to prove his pro- ficiency in every line. Dramatics, debating, football, baseball, and track,—in all of these he has been a star, and at that we have men- tioned only a few of his achievements. A list of his conquest among the feminine sex would fill more space than we can spare, but now from all indications, he has settled down and is devoting all his efforts to remaining in the good graces of a single person ( ?). We wish him all the luck that he so well deserves, and we are quite sure that he will make good. PRINCETON 37 Richard Thompkins Harriss, Jr. New Rochelle, N. Y. “Dick “R.

Whenever you see an argument going on, •‘Dick’' is sure to be one of the contestants, and usually the successful one. In fact, we have never known him to lose an argument (according to him). Last year “Dick” started out to make his letter in football and by dint of the same grit and determination which have characterized his life here at Pawling, he was successful. “Dick” is the one hoy to put an underformer in his place, for his seri- ous tone is always put to the best advantage. We feel sure “Dick” will make good, both at college and later in business. BROWN 38 ’22-’23: Football Squad, Swimming Squad, Glee Club. ’23-’24: Football Squad, Swimming Squad, Golf Squad.

Gilbert Lewis Higgins New Haven, Conn. “Gil” “llig” One of the high lights of the “Smart Set” at Pawling, “Gil” has been too busy with his social obligations to enter much into the extra-curriculum activities during his stay in school, but he has produced a great effect upon the manners and morals of the top cor- ridor. His conduct of the various activities in the seclusion of that corridor has exerted a great and uplifting influence upon his class- mates. Until injured last year in football, “Hig” was showing up well in that sport, and was considered to have a good chance for the team. His injury kept him more or less out of things this year but has not in the least injured his faculty for making “wise cracks.” Just to prove his versatility, he was elected a member of the Commencement Prom Committee.

Francis Gheens Howard Port Washington, L. I. Frans” A more dependable, self-reliant boy would be hard to find. Throughout his three years of school life “Frans” has stood steadfastly for all that’s fine, clean, and upright. Our only regret is that we haven’t gotten to know him better, for “Frans” is a corking good fellow when one gets to know him. He cer- tainly will never take any prize for loqua- ciousness, but we wish there were more fel- lows like him in this respect. For two years he has played guard on the football team, and played it well. His hobby is boats, but we hope his love for the sea doesn’t prevent him from entering Princeton, where even greater success awaits him. So long, “Frans”; we hope you won’t forget us.

William Horace Jervis Wassaic, N. Y. “Bill” Last year we thought that ‘'Bill” was one of the shining lights of Pawling, scholasti- cally speaking, and there is really no good reason why we should not continue to think so. But his winning of two examination prizes last June probably made us expect great things of him, and as a result, when he didn't throw himself entirely into his wrork when he came on the top corridor, we were surprised. But it is a great compliment to Bill” that he has been able to stand among the leaders of the class. We always felt sure that he was holding out on us, and had an- other working desk somewhere, far removed from the corridor where none is tolerated. Perhaps the reason for his delinquency is Nashville! The ease with which he can master any subject insures Bill’s” success at any vocation he may undertake.

John Gf.orce Jones New York City, N. Y. Johnny “Paul Friend and idol of both Sixth Formers and underformers, ever since his coming in the late fall of 1923, “Johnny’s” popularity has been recognized by everybody. In his first year in school he began to make his presence known by playing upon three teams. This year he was chosen captain of those three teams. A letter man in four sports, a prefect, the Weekly Board, and president of his class are only a few of “Johnny’s” achievements. Quite a record for a boy who has been in Pawling for less than two years. There is little doubt but that “Johnny’s” days at col- lege will be more honorable, more enjoyable, and even more successful than those which he has spent at Pawling.

Jack” “Johnny Jack has the finest and most highly de- veloped sense of humor of anyone in the class, if the ability to burst into peals of laughter upon any provocation may be taken as a cri- terion. The greatest length of time during which he has refrained from emitting a guffaw is not at present knotvn, but it is certain that very little could have elapsed. John’s scholastic and literary qualities are almost equally as prominent as his merriment, and he has done much in an athletic way. The Weekly, of which he was editor-in-chief, the Scroll, baseball and tennis have all claimed him, and in all of them he was conspicuous. Our only regret is that he has chosen to retire once more to the west for his college years.

Robert Lees LaCrosse, Wis. ••Rob Boys on “Bob’s” corridor this year breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the “Chateau” was to be used as a prac- tice room for all would-be musicians. Those of us who were with him last year had learned the bitter futility of attempting to do any work while the entrancing notes of his fiddle were wafted into our rooms, and there- fore we were doubly relieved at the glad news. For, be it known, “Rob” is the future Kreisler of the class, and is destined to have his name emblazoned in time upon the white lights of Broadway. During his two years’ stay at Pawling, “Bob” has done much in more than one line, the most prominent of which have been the Dramatic Club and the Phoenix Board. He has been one of the hardest workers in the class and one of the best liked by all. We hope that he does not let the known attractiveness of his native state keep him entirely from the East. WILLIAMS 44 Wendell Phillips McKown, Jr. Pleasantville, Conn. Mac” MacGoiv” ‘•Mac” first parked his baggage in one of Sheridan’s taxis in the fall of 1924, and since then he has firmly established himself as the enfant” of the class. But this position never prevents him from taking his full share in every activity on the top corridor, even to playing the lead in the “tragedy of the show- ers.” Whenever there is a “bull session,” Mac” is sure to be present, and he usually outlasts all competitors. In the serious side of school life, Wendell has been one of the Honor students for the year, and has contrib- uted largely to the success of the Phoenix and the Dramatic Club.

A glance at the above picture would never lead me to imagine “Al” as the noisiest mem- ber of the class. But the truth is, he far excels all competitors in this trait, and he is a perpetual nuisance to anyone who desires peace and quiet. Despite this drawback, however, “Al” has proved his worth in foot- ball, basketball, and lacrosse, making his letter in the latter two sports. He has also contributed to the success of the ll'eekly. If he continues the good work begun at Pawling, we feel sure that nothing can stop him when he gets into business on his own initiative.

The orchestra that gets “Hank” to play the sax will surely be in luck. Aside from his music, he has been an invaluable member of the football and boxing squads for two years. As a mechanic and a general all-round “fixer,” he is surpassed by very few. Hank” also holds the distinction of being the tallest boy in school—towering some six feet six of jolly good nature above the ground.

Pat ’22-’23 : Midget Football Squad, Midget Basketball Squad, Tennis Squad. ’23-’24: Track Squad, Glee Club. '24-'25: Weekly Board, Glee Club, Boxing Squad, Track Squad. It is a safe statement to make that, outside of the Rover Boy twins, no one in the form has uttered fewer words than has “Pat” dur- ing his three years at school. But it is equally as safe to say that very few have accom- plished as much in the way of hard work as he has. He has the distinction of being about the only member of the Sixth Form who could accomplish much work upon the top corridor.

Dear old Boston is Bill’s” native city, but even with such a handicap he has more than made good in his three years here at Pawling. There were times when Pete’s” prospects of graduating were exceedingly dim, but with combined winter and summer curricula he managed to pull through. Just to show us what he could do in athletics when he really tried, he worked hard and made his letter in hockey. If he continues the good work, which he has commenced this year, “Pete” will surely meet with success at Harvard. HARVARD William Wheaton Peters West Roxbury, Mass.

David Alexander Robb Berkeley, Calif. “Dave” “A dashing young Lochinvar rode out of the West”—none other than our inimitable “Dave.” Me entered Pawling last fall, and since then has been one of the “big” men of his class. His showing on the gridiron was good ; but with the advent of the court game, “Dave” came into his own. As a guard on the basketball team he has had few equals. This spring, playing first man on the tennis team, he bids fair to surpass his work in bas- ketball. Like old Emperor Titus of Rome, Dave considers a day lost if he has not done some kind deed for someone else, and his host of friends will bear tribute to this fact.

Ray “Raim Baby We would not hesitate to predict a most certain success for the gentleman whose countenance you see pictured above, for Rav,” in everything which he has attempted while at Pawling, has done extremely well. As leader of the orchestra he has been one of the chief means for the success of that organization, and as a prominent member of the lacrosse team he has contributed much to its victories. Never a two weeks’ period has passed which has not found him among those on the Honor Roll, and for the greater part of this year he has led the entire school in averages. Pawling certainly owes him a vote of thanks for having instituted an en- tirely new sport into our midst, namely, that of lacrosse. We are sure of “Ray’s” success wherever he goes and in whatever he under- takes, because he surely puts his whole heart into the things which he goes out for.

We can say about Jim” that he is as good a man as they make, or we can simply say he is everything a Pawling man should be. During our association with him we have found that he stands high in everything. Quiet, unassuming, modest, he has held down his many offices as no one could. “Jim” is also noted for his ability to use his head for something more than a hat rack. By that we don’t mean he is a book- worm. Far from it. He is every inch a he- man.” He plays football, basketball, and lacrosse with equal skill. When you stop to combine all these qualities, you come pretty close to Kipling’s definition of a man. Here’s to you, “General”!

George” Although George may not have shown great ability in athletics and school activities, nevertheless he has always been a hard and persistent worker. Studying, which probably comes harder for him than for many others, occupies most of his time, and one can quite often see him engrossed in his books while others are having a more enjoyable time. Seldom is George seen without “Dick,” for these two are perpetually together, and their occasional separation is always a source of grief to one or the other. Indeed, we some- times wonder how “Dick” would have man- aged to survive his last year at Pawling, if George had not arrived on the scene last fall.

It is needless to say that “Bobby” falls into the latter group, except in the classroom, which holds no fascination for him. A glance at his record will show you why we hate to lose him so. ‘‘Bob’s” personality has endeared him to all of us, and his sunny good nature has won him many friends.

Van” “George” Coming to us in the fall of 1924, “Van” has had little opportunity to make his pres- ence felt in the various phases of school life. Hockey, baseball, and tennis comprise the forms of athletics in which he has taken part, and these have occupied the majority of his time. Nevertheless, during the past winter, George was able to show’ his ability in an entirely different sphere—that of dramatics. In the play, “Three Live Ghosts,” he took the part of a charming society woman, and did it extremely well. Studies, too, have kept him quite busy, and seldom has the danger of “flunking” confronted him. His conversa- tion and pleasant manner have always at- tracted us, and it is with great regret that we part company with him this June.

As a member of the baseball squad for two years and of the Dramatic Club for one, he has been very prominent, and has done much to further each of these organi- zations. But in another sphere lies his great- est influence. As Coach, Captain, Manager, and Stroke of the Sixth Form Crew, “Whit” has introduced the Choate system of rowing at Pawling, and has piloted 1925’s shell to more than one victory. Under his guidance the phrase, “Down at Choate,” has taken on a real meaning.

His good-natured temperament may be advanced as one of the chief reasons for his success in school, and we have always found him to be one of the best and truest of friends. One can usually find “Arch” at the bottom of every rough-housing expedition, and several of us have felt his strength on more than one occasion. We feel sure that his place in the school will be hard to fill next year, but we at least have the satisfac- tion of knowing that his success is assured.

Jones Fred W. Sladen Vice-President President Sec. and Treas. £lu' Histimi nf thr QHaaa nf 25 m t THE task which I am about to undertake, that of recounting the history of the Class of 1925, is both a difficult and a pleasant one. It is difficult for the reason that the career of this unusually large class is a very long and memorable one, but it is indeed a pleasure to be able to recount the 1 accomplishments of a class that has done so much in the interests of Pawling. Fo fully trace the path of this class would require many hours of your patience. But this is neither the time nor the place for such an extended account. I will briefly set before you the most outstanding features in the career of this, the graduating class. Six long years ago in the fall of 1919, the history of the class was started by three of its present members, Young, Bull, and Teller, who may justly claim the distinction of being the oldest members of the class. These three have done more than their share for the school. Young has been a regular on the football and lacrosse teams for two years, besides being in the Dramatic Club. Bull, also a member of the lacrosse team, has been on the IPeekly Board, while Teller has been captain of both the lacrosse and swimming teams and a member of the Sixth Form Council. One year later we received three more members who have managed to stay with us to this day. I hey are Conley, Goodlove, and Crook. Besides being a Prefect, Conley has been one of the outstanding stars of both basket ball and track, while Goodlove has been captain of this year’s track team and a member of the Weekly. Crook has been a member of the debating team, and was also clerk of the Senate. In the winter term, Hancock entered our midst. He has certainly made an enviable record here, having been on the football team for two seasons, a member of the Weekly, President of the Dramatic Club, and above all a Prefect. In 1921 we received three more members, Miller, Graves, and Palmer. Miller has been on the lacrosse and basket ball teams, while Graves has been a member of the golf squad and is our honored Class Prophet. It is needless for me to mention Hank Palmer, for he has been the most prominent member of the school orchestra for several seasons. In 1922 ten men entered the class. Perhaps the most prominent of this group is bred Sladen, who, besides being Senior Prefect, is a member of the football, basket ball, and lacrosse teams. Others in this group are Francis Howard, Ihling, Harriss, and Peters. Howard has been an important cog in the football team for two seasons, while Ihling, besides being a Prefect and a member of the baseball team, has been editor-in-chief of the Weekly and a member of the Scroll Board. Harriss has won his letter in football and has played an important part in several other sports. Peters was one of the shining lights in the hockey team, and was also a member of the football squad. The others in this group are Jervis, Patterson, H. Howard, Higgins, and Winsor. Jervis has been manager of basketball and a member of the Weekly, while Patterson was also on the Weekly Board and a member of the track squad, and II. Howard has been on both the football and track squads. Last of all we have Higgins and Winsor. Higgins has been on the swimming squad as well as in the glee club, while Winsor has been on the track and golf squads. 67 The year of 1923 saw the entrance of twelve men, the largest delegation to the class. Jones, President of the Senior Class, a Prefect, Captain of baseball, and a member of the football and hockey teams, is only too well known by all of you, while Gross, besides being a Prefect, is the only member of all three of the school publications, a record which is to be envied. Field, a Prefect, was on the hockey team, and is also on both the Weekly and the Scroll, while Williams is a member of both the basketball and baseball teams, in addition to being business manager of the Scroll. Others in this distinguished group are Strong, captain of football and a member of the Dramatic Club; Stewart, a baseball man and another member of the Dramatic Club; and Burdick, captain of basketball and a member of the football and baseball teams. Lees, another member of this group, was on the orchestra and on the 1‘hoenix board, while Whitaker and D. K. Smith have also done their share, the former being a member of the football squad and of the Dramatic Club, and the latter of the lacrosse squad. Only two members of the delegation have yet to be spoken of, and they are Ruge and Underhill. Ruge has been on the lacrosse team and the Weekly board, while Underhill has been an active member in football and golf. Robb, Steers, McKown, Van Deusen and Dodge did not come until this last fall, but they all have accomplished much in their one year, and we are proud to have known them. Robb has proved himself to be one of the best basketball guards in many years at Pawling, and he is also a phenomina! tennis player. Steers has taken an interest in all activities, and has been on the golf squad, while McKown, Van Deusen, and Dodge have all been members of the Dramatic Club. Now that we have given our attention to the personal history of the class, let us turn to the history of the class as an organization. Throughout all our under- graduate tears at Pawling, we have earnestly endeavored to obey the rules of the Sixth Forms of preceding years and to follow the excellent example they set. We realized the great responsibilities of the Sixth Form year, and we attempted to establish a precedent in behavior and general character. Upon returning to school this year, we immediately chose our class officers, as well as the Sixth Form Council, which was to deal with refractory members of the student body. By means of this committee and the underform representatives to the Class, we have tried to keep in touch with the lower forms. Throughout the course of the past year, the Sixth Form has been especially well represented in all phases of school activities, scholastic and athletic. In fact, 1 think I can safely say that very few Sixth Forms have surpassed, or will surpass, the athletic record made by this Class. Now the school year has come to a close, and we are about to hand in the reins of government to the Class of 1926. We realize that we, as a class, have made many mistakes and possibly have not made the most of our opportunities. Whatever success we have made, however, we owe entirely to Doctor Gamage and the members of the Faculty, who have worked untiringly and unceasingly for our betterment. We owe Doctor Gamage a deep debt of gratitude for his uncomparable assistance, a debt of gratitude which even we may not realize at the present time. May you, therefore, the Class of 1926, profit by the mistakes which we have made, and so govern yourselves that your class may rise to far greater heights than we have risen. GILBERT L. COLE, Class Historian. 68 cUtf (Class JIrnpheqj I had long been filled with a desire to know what had become of the bovs back at school. Fortunately, there came to me one day while in the big city a happy thought. Perhaps Matt inkle could tell me about a few of the bovs, and that would be something,” I said; so I strolled down Lexington Avenue, and entered that gentleman’s place of business. I inquired for him, and asked him if he had any knowledge of my friends. He said “No,” and I sank into a chair, being overcome with grief. While in this state of mind, I was conscious of the fact that I was being slowly overcome by fumes of etherized beer. I kept slipping, and finally there came before me a vision of a man, one Dante, asking me if I would not like to take a trip to the inferno with him. I thought that here was a rare opportunity for I would certainly see some of the bovs there, as we had often been told at school that this was the final destination of some of us. I wondered whom 1 would see first, and yet I had a feeling I knew who it would be. Consequently, 1 was not surprised to see in a pit far below the surface of the ground, two of my old classmates. One of them was telling a group of small boys the style of rowing used at Choate. The boys had heard it a few times before, but were polite and tried to calm their emotions. Needless to say, this was Wharton Whitaker. But as I said, there was another one too. John Stewart was sitting moping in a corner of the pit. He had heard that there was a nice moon out tonight; and butterfly that he was, wished to attend a coming-out party. That, however, was impossible in his present abode. I went down to speak to the boys and asked them to show me around. We started walking around, when I suddenly ran into a man who had one hand on his head and the other on his stomach. 1 thought I recognized him. and asked him who he was. He said he was George Burdick on his way to tell Pluto he was sick, and to get out of shoveling coal. 1 stopped him and asked him if he knew- where Higgins was. Dort said that Higg had tried but had failed to get in there with him, and the last he knew of Higg, he was doing a ukelele and voice” act in the Parody Club, taking the place of the late Sliff Edwards. In the same club, he told me, the Howard brothers were giving humorous monologues. We left Dort and went on our way. On suddenly rounding a corner, I was surprised to see a row of tents with the following advertisements of circus sideshows. The boys told me they were giving a little carnival, to raise money for cool drinks for the more unfortunate. At the first tent, I was thunderstruck by the terribly loud noise a little man was making, who was drawing the crowd around the tent. I had lived next door to such a noise at Pawling for one year, and I knew it was Allen Miller who was persuading the people to come in and see the Strongest Man on Earth,” a man who could bend crow-bars and lift up ton rocks with ease. I entered, and saw big John Strong per- forming these feats of strength. However, I had seen him raise the desks off the floor in study hall with his knees, and so I was not startled. He was ablv assisted by Steve Bull and Arch Young. After hearing about some of the wild parties John went on while at Harvard, I went along to another tent where I was attracted bv a poster advertising John G. Jones” in an Eccentric Walking, Talking and Dancing Act.” I remembered that John had been a Prefect at school, so I inquired about some of his friends. He told me that Bob Williams had been the head of a girls’ school, and that the enrollment was large as Bob seemed quite able to please the girls. 69 “Bill Conley,” he said, “was headmaster of a boys’ school.” Bill was well fitted for this because he had obtained a lot of inside stuff about it while at Pawling. “What happened to John Ihling?”I asked. He told me John was giving courses in the art of controlling one’s emotions in the most humorous situations.” I wondered how Jack could do this but I found out it was done through the mail. He said Aukie Hancock was still tutoring, but expected to get into college the following year. I talked with John a little longer and happened to think of Hal Gross and Hank Field. John said he hated to tell me, but those two hadn’t turned out very' well as the last lie knew, they were running a poolroom in Providence. But then, 1 never thought they would amount to much. I thanked John for his information and started on my way once more. Suddenly I felt myself being shaken and I realized that I had been aroused from my dreams. I sat still in the chair rubbing my eyes when 1 heard someone enter the room whistling a song. I looked and saw a little man close the door and take a hankerchief from his pocket. That gave me a clue, and I knew it was Maynard Underhill, who was whistling “Where the Winds Blow, There I Go.” Maynard told me that he had been employed in the draft department of a bank. It was pretty warm, so we two decided to walk up Riverside Drive for a while to get cooled off. On one of the busy street corners we were attracted by a man in a fast car who was arguing with a motorcycle cop. The driver was telling the cop that he was all wrong and that he could show him why he was wrong. “Andrew” said it looked like Dick Harriss, and sure enough it was he, and the policeman was none other than George Steers. These two boys never did get on very well at school anyway. We stopped for a minute and then went on. As I turned about, almost directly in front of me, I saw an old man stumble and fall down at the foot of a tree. I ran over to help him arise. But he said he had fallen in such a comfortable position that he didn’t want to be moved. Ah! Bill Peters,” I said. It was Bill, and he told me how he had been a pillow salesman but had lain down on his job, and that accounted for his abject poverty. I was very sorry, for Moke” had great possibilities if he would only apply himself. We left Bill and walked up by Grant’s tomb. But was it Grant’s tomb we were near? I looked over the entrance to the most beautiful building I had ever seen, and saw this inscription. Here lies General Fred Sladen.” What a wonderful career he had had in the army. He had been killed in a war fought for the purpose of saving a few Americans who had managed to eke out an existence in New York City. Most noble cause I thought. We retraced our steps in silence until I suggested that we go to a restaurant for dinner. We had no sooner entered when I heard someone stamp on the floor three times and say, Let’s go fellows.” It was Hank Palmer leading his Ramblers into the realms of jazz. Robert Lees and Bill Jervis were still with him. Bill had been with Hank fifty-nine years now, but thought that soon he would be old enough to have his own band. Hank said Ray Ruge had been sent to Siberia to duplicate the Brooklyn Bridge. We sat down and gave our order to a familiar looking waiter. It finally dawned on me that it was George Van Deusen who was bent over from carrying ginger-ale glasses to the various tables. Van told me to look over in the corner where a little man was throwing rolls at the proprieter. He said it was Dick Dodge while the owner of the restaurant was Wendell McKown. I asked Van what had become of Dave Robb. He seemed surprised, for he told me that Dave had a world-famed reputation as a public speaker. Then I remembered his gripping speech in the Pawling School Senate and I realized why Dave ranked so high. We ate our dinner and walked down the street. I was suddenly astonished at the dexterity with which 70 two men dressed in white were wielding brooms at a street corner. Maynard told me he often passed this way and had discovered these men to be Bill Goodlove and “Deke” Smith. Just at this moment there was a terrible traffic jam at the corner, but what attracted me most was an old man in a Dodge car. The car shot ahead of all the taxies and other vehicles. I knew that must be Bob Teller because his car was a “bugger” in traffic. Seeing all these cars reminded me of Oats Winsor, and Maynard told me “Oats” was a professional automobile racer. After the cars had passed by we went along. I had never been to the city much and walked around with my head high in the air, so as not to miss anything. Suddenly my eyes became fixed on a large electric sign advertising “GOOF” the new Arrow Collar. By his clean cut features I recognized the man in the advertisement to be none other than Gilbert Cole, the handsomest man of the class at school. By this time T was rather tired, and as I had to catch a train for home, I said good-bye to “Undie,” and went back to the hotel. As I stepped into the elevator whom should I see but Ben Patterson leaning on the arm of a chorus girl. Con- sequently he wouldn’t give me much time so I went to my room and packed my bag and went to the station to wait for my train. I had quite a wait; so I went into a rest-room to kill time. “At last,” I thought, “I know what has become of all the boys,” for there on a couch lay Gerard Crook fast asleep. I wanted to speak to him, but I knew it would be cruel to disturb him so I went on my way with a heart made glad by the fact that I had either seen or heard about all my old classmates. 71 U hr txth 3hmn (Cmmril The Sixth Form Council, originated by the Class of 1918, has been most successful as a means of dealing with refractory underformers.. The work of the Council has saved much time and trouble for the Sixth I'orm, particularly when the subject was a misguided member of the lower school. Its success lies in the fact that it is easier to get into communication with an underformer with a small group than with the entire class. 72 Alumni Aasuriatinn uf lllratmi Niuu lork President Ganson Depew, Esq.

About forty men comprised the squad, which was made up of six -------- letter men, about ten from last year’s second team, several members of the 1923 champion midgets, and a good many new men, among whom were several promising candidates. The first few weeks were spent in learn- ing the general fundamentals of the game. Physically the squad shaped up well. There was plenty of weight in the line, the ends were tall and rangy, while the backfield, though lacking weight, was fast and clever. With a little over two weeks of practice, the team, after a hard fought struggle, won over Manual, 7-0, in its traditional opening battle. The team displayed a fine aerial offensive, the winning tally being the result of a pass, Philips to Jones. T he team played rather raggedly, but gave evidence of developing into a powerful aggregation. Hancock, Jones and Philips were the individual stars. With the line opening up big holes, and the backs driving with speed and precision, Pawling in- flicted a 10-0 defeat over Salis- bury, the first suffered since 1922. Sawyer’s recoveries of fumbles, Hancock’s open field running, and Philips’ punting were the big factors in the victory. 92 In a loosely played game re- plete with thrilling broken field dashes and individual brilliance, but sadly lacking in consistent team play, Pawling won her third straight victory from Berkshire, 20-0. This victory served, in a measure, to make up for the re- verses of the two previous seasons. F. Howard and Burdick played consistently throughout, while Hancock literally ran wild in the second half. The next game at Kent resulted in a crushing defeat for Pawling, 57-6. 'l'he first half ended 13-6, but in the second half, disheartened by the loss of Hancock who had been the main ground gainer, Pawling went to pieces and the Kent offensive, led by Jones, Muldaur, and the Cady brothers, piled up 55 points. Captain Strong, Goodrich, and Young fought hard every minute and gave a good account of themselves throughout. In the annual home-coming game with Hotchkiss, the overwhelming favorites, Pawling staged a remarkable comeback and held Hotchkiss to a 23-0'score. The first half was even up, and Pawling twice repulsed Hotch- kiss when a score seemed certain. 1 he Red and Black also uncorked a powerful offensive, propelled by Clegg, Burdick, Sladen, Philips, and Sawyer, which took the ball for eight consecutive first downs to the shadows of the Hotchkiss goal posts. Hoben and Hubbard were the whole team for Hotchkiss while Sladen and F. Howard shone for Pawling. In the next game, the Pawling backfield, galloped over, around and through Canterbury for a 32-0 win. Passes Philips and Burdick to Jones and Sladen scored most of the touchdowns, the aerial tactics seeming to bewilder the Canterbury defense. Burdick, Jones, and Merselis played the most consistent game for Pawling. In the season’s finale, the Red and Black fell before the sensational open field running of C. and H. Miller of Taft, 21-7. It was the same old story of “even Stephen in the first half, and lack of stamina in the last out. Various misplays and frequent penalties also proved disastrous to Pawling’s chances of victory. Captain Strong, playing his last game for the Red and Black, put up the fight of his life and clearly outplayed his opponent. McKenney, Young, and 1 . Howard also showed up well. Despite the fact that we failed to defeat any of our big rivals, the season, with four out of seven games won, was a decided improvement over many previous years. Next year, with six veterans as a nucleus, numerous recruits, and the Von Lehsten system firmly established, we should enjoy a successful season. Also harmony, which was so conspicuous by its absence this season, will pervade the ranks next year, and make a big difference in the winning of games. 93 ehr S rranb football Cram ahr rmnfr u,eam William F.

Another setback to the team was the lack of an experienced pitcher, a handicap to any aggregation. When, however, the season opened with the Manual game, the team had been whipped pretty well into shape. The infield was composed of Wertheimer at first, Ihling at second, Jones at shortstop, and Stone at third, while Gregg and Stolz, the pitchers together with Morris formed the battery. T he right field was taken care of by Stewart, the center field hy Williams and the left field by Hendey. The game, though won hy the score of 11-7, was loose and poorly played, showing that the team was not yet used to playing together. In the interim between the game with Manual and that with the New York Stock Exchange, on the following Saturday, Pawling defeated in a practice game the Harlem division of the New York Central nine, by the score of 5-2. In this game the nine showed much improvement. On the following Saturday, however, the team resorted once more to loose, inefficient playing and consequently lost to the Stock Exchange by the score of 13-3. As the “Scroll” must now go to press the following games cannot be reviewed, yet it looks at the presents as if a little more practice and experi- ence working together will turn out a team capable of a very successful season.

There are back, however, nearly all ------- the members of last season’s squad, many of whom have been progressing remarkably, up to now, and there is much new material which has been showing up well of late. As the Scroll goes to press, it looks as though Goodlove, Steif, Clegg and Field are going to take care of the sprints and middle distance runs, Steif and Goodlove probably running the 100 and 220 yard dashes and Clegg and Field, the quarter. The half-mile will be run by Schneider and Weatherly while Hendrickson and Patterson will take care of the mile. Washburne and Howe will take care of the low hurdles, although there seems to be no one to run the high hurdles. Conley is sure to place in the shot put, and will, together with Young and Hutton, take care of the other weights. I he broad jump, Goodlove and Howard will feature in; the pole vault, Hancock and Hendrickson, and the high jump, Hendey and Goodlove. Although there are but the two letter men back, nevertheless, there seems to be no lack of willing material, so that while not unusually bright, the prospects for a good track team this spring are at least fair. 1U25 arark £ rhfftulr May 1 White Plains ..............-...................at Pawling May 8 Berkshire .....................-...............at Pawling May 16 Yale Interscholastics..................... at New Haven May 22 Hotchkiss.....................................at Pawling May 29 Taft.......................................at Watertown 109 JJautlhuj arark Smirfta Event Record Name Year 100 Yd.

Under the direction of coach Von Lehsten, practice was begun a few days before Thanksgiving. In the opening game of the season with St. Stephen’s College, the team was composed of Captain Burdick and Williams, forwards; Con- ley, center, and Sawyer and Robb, guards. With the addition of Wertheimer who alternated with Williams as guard, and Miller and Sladen who often formed the Red and Black defense, this was the line-up used throughout the entire season. The Pawling team defeated its opponents 16-13 in a loosely played game marred by poor shooting and ragged team work. „ In the second game of the year, the Red and ' JhRUS’ ‘ ana0er Black team defeated the New York Stock Ex- change. Leading by only one point at the end of the first half, the team made a remarkable rally and pulled away from the New orkers, winning by the score of 22-16. Wertheimer was the individual star of the contest. In the next game with the Boys’ High of Brooklyn, Pawling was defeated for the first time. The game was desperately fought throughout, but the accurate shooting of the visitors coupled with the weak defensive work of the home team, gave the former the victory. The score was 28-26. Burdick and Williams starring for Pawling. In the game with Adelphi Academy, Pawling showed a great deal of improvement over the work of the previous Saturday. With Burdick and Wertheimer scoring from all over the floor, the team easily came through with a 25-10 victory. The fifth game was a decided success. The Red and Black aggregation obtained ample revenge for the last four years’ defeats, by overwhelming Taft, 30-15. Williams and Conley were the high scorers of this game while the wonderful defensive of Robb and Sawyer in holding the Red and Blue team to only four field goals, cannot be praised too highly. Pawling next walked away with the game against the Boys’ Club of New Haven, winning by a 40-20 score. Wertheimer was high point scorer with twelve points to his credit, whereas Captain Burdick followed with ten. 114 In the first game away from home, the Pawling team was defeated 33-29 in a very close game with the Poly Prep. School of Brooklyn. Burdick scored seven baskets in this game. In the following contest with Cochran, the team staged a remarkable come-back by defeating the visitors 49-23. Conley with a total of eighteen points far surpassed all others as far as scoring was concerned. The Mid-Year’s game with Holy Name, resulted in a decisive victory for the home team. The game was marked by a combination of brilliant passing and guarding. Williams, Robb, and Burdick starred. In the final game of the season, Pawling defeated Berkshire in a rough game held at Sheffeld, Mass. Burdick with nine baskets, was the out- standing figure in the game. The final score was 31-18 favor of the Red and Black team. Taking all in all, the team lived up to the hopes expressed when practice was begun. Out of the ten games played, eight resulted in victories, thus making- the percentage of the team a fiat .800. The team averaged 32 points a game to its opponents’ 20, and it scored a total of 315 points to its opponents’ 199. The points were distributed among the players as follows: Burdick, 107; Conley, 71 ; Wertheimer, 51 ; Williams, 50; Sawyer, 12, and Robb, 12. The remaining points were scored by substitutes. A great deal of credit must be given to the whole team for its successful season, and also to William Jervis for his fine work as manager. Although six of the eight letter men, graduate this year Captain Wertheimer at forward, Sawyer at guard, and Merselis, who was unable to play this year, at center, ought to form the skeleton of a very successful team next season, especially since there will be a large number back from this year’s squad.

Poor ice and much snow have also hampered the practice of the Red and Black skaters, and the team is to be commended for its excellent showing in the face of discouraging conditions. With Jones, Field, Howe, and Morris of la.:t year’s team on hand at the opening of the season, practice was held for the first time late in November, and good ice prevailed for the rest of the fall term, allowing the team work to be considerably perfected, in preparation for the twelve-game schedule to be faced after the holidays. M. Smith, a letter man at St. Marks last year, was a newcomer at the opening of the school after the holidays, and was immediately installed at a right wing position, and Howe was shifted to defense with Peters as his running mate. Captain Jones at center, and Field at left wing with Morris at goal completed the veteran line-up which faced the Pough- keepsie Athletic Club at Pawling in the opening game on January 1+th. With the team working as well as might be expected for the first game of the season, the Red and Black trounced the visitors by a 6-0 score, in which the fast work of the forward line and the strong defensive play of Peters and Howe were the features. Jones scored three of the goals and played a fine all-around game. The next game with Jamaica High School was cancelled, because of bad ice. This game was one which would have provided the team with a real test, and it was most unfortunate that it was impossible to play it. Just previous to the Canterbury game, Mr. Tom Howard of New York, very kindly consented to come up and give the team some pointers. The results of his coaching were very evident in the next game, at New Milford with Canterbury, when the Pawling team overwhelmed its opponents by a 7-1 score. The forward line worked in perfect unison and ran up scores R. M. Calfee, Manager 118 practically at will. Captain Jones contributed five points and M. Smith two. Had not the entire second team played during the last period, it is probable the score would have been much greater. Horace Mann School was next encountered in a game at Pawling, and the home team won an easy victory over the New Yorkers by a score of 6-0. 1 here was no doubt as to the outcome of the game after the first few minutes of the play, and the excellent work of the visiting goal guard was all that kept the score down. Captain Jones registered every score of Pawling. In a game played at Pawling in a blinding snow storm, Hotchkiss won a 1-0 verdict from the Red and Black sextet. 1 he game was most unsatis- factory because the snow and wind together with the poor ice at the sides destroyed every chance for team work. Hubbard and Jones starred. In a fast game at Watertown, the Pawling team won a decisive victory over the 1 aft outfit by a score of 3-2. Poor ice handicapped the Pawling team considerably, and the team work which was so plainly evident in the previous games, was missing to a great extent. Captain Jones, Morris and Howe played well in avenging last year’s 2-1 defeat. In an unsatisfactory game in which any sort of team work was impossible because of the slushy condition of the ice, the Red and Black was held to a scoreless tie by the Berkshire sextet. The game was called after two periods of play with the score of 0-0 indicating nothing of the true value of either team. Captain Jones’ individual playing and Morris’ goal guarding under difficult conditions, were excellent. Throughout the season, Captain Jones, Smith, and Field played a brand of hockey which augurs well for their future in collegiate circles; and Peters, while he did not enter the limelight as often as some of the other players, proved himself to be a defensive man of rare ability. Since Captain-elect Howe, Smith, and Morris will be back next year, it is hoped that a successful season will be the lot of the 1926 team. 119 (Ofitrrrs Robert D. Teller....................Captain C.

They were supported by Steers, Goodrich, Howard, and many others, all contributing their best to make each meet a victory. 1 he first meet of the season was held in the Munsil tank on February 14th with the Manual Training School of Brooklyn. Hendrickson starred in this meet by turning in victories for the 100 and 220 yard events, and also swimming on the relay team. Larkin and Teller of last year’s team, and Mead and Goodrich of the newcomers, showed up as fine material upon which to base the season’s hopes. The meet ended with the Red and Black swimmers piling up the score of 43 points against the 19 of the visiting team. In the second meet, which was held on February 28th in the home pool, Pawling beat Erasmus Hall, also of Brooklyn, by the score of 41-28. Fhe loss of the relay counted heavily against the home team, and accounted for the closeness of the score. Hendrickson again walked off with the honors of the meet, by capturing first places in the 100 and 220 yards. Steers, a new man, showed great promise by winning the dive with some very pretty exhibitions. Fairbank also starred by doing well in the plunge. The final contest of the year was the unfortunate one with Hotchkiss in the latter’s pool, and it resulted in the first swimming defeat Pawling has suffered in four years. The unfamiliar pool was somewhat of a handicap to the Red and Black men, as its slippery sides made the usual turns dif- ficult. Hendrickson and Larkin, nevertheless, did the best they were capable of to make points for Pawling, the former winning two first places, and the 122 latter, a first and second. The loss of the relay was the greatest cause for the defeat, for with victory in that event, the final score would have resulted in Pawling being one point ahead. As it was, however, the meet ended with the score 43-28 against the Red and Black mermen. Next season with Larkin, Steers, Mead, and Goodrich to form the nucleus of the team, and with several other promising members of this year’s squad who will return, we may be assured of an even better record. It is hoped, moreover, that we may avenge our defeat at the hands of Hotchkiss, as well as vanquish other opposing teams. J. G. Jones, Captain (Ofttrrra John G.

Place: London, 1917. 158 “31jm ICiur (Sbnst� ” HE Pawling School Dramatic Club added another success to its already long list in presenting “Three Live Ghosts,” a comedy in three acts, by Isham and Marcin. The performance was given twice. First for the town on Thursday evening, February 19th, and again on Saturday, February 21st, for the school and its guests on the occasion of the Mid-Year Festivities. The story of the play is laid in London immediately after the war, and the plot is concerned with the efforts of three soldiers, reported dead but escaped from a German prison camp, to establish their identity. The presentation of “Three Live Ghosts” is a distinct advance over last year’s performance of “Officer 666,” because its dramatic possibilities are greater and consequently demand a more thoughtful and artistic interpreta- tion. Of last year’s cast Austin Hancock, who is president of the Dramatic Club; Gilbert Cole, Donald Bryant, and Richard Hendey formed the nucleus of this year’s company. Austin Hancock, the leading man, who played the part of Jimmy Gubbins, surpassed his success of last year as Whitney Barnes in “Officer 666.” This year Austin played a very different and much more difficult role, one re- quiring a quick and ready adaptability to a variety of emotional interpretations. His performance showed a sympathetic understanding of his part, a smooth- ness in transition between widely different moods, and a marked development in the power of dramatic portrayal. The realism of his fascial expression and gesture distinguished his performance throughout. Richard Dodge, the leading lady, who played Mrs. Gubbins, showed ability of a high order in a difficult character part. Though this was his first appearance, he displayed the technique of an experienced actor. Dodge presented with distinction what is undoubtedly the most difficult role essayed thus far in a production by the Dramatic Club. Donald Bryant, as Miss Woofers, a cockney girl, was highly satisfactory. His use of the dialect was consistent and effective. His interpretation of the naivete of this character part added much to the humor of the play. Wharton Whitaker played Bolton, the American detective. Though his appearances were short and infrequent, he met fully the requirements if his limited role. John Stewart, as William Foster, the fugitive American, left nothing to he desired in his performance. His success was largely due to an under- standing of the restraint demanded by his part and to a feeling for its artistic values. Joseph Clegg scored a distinct success as Spoofv. If popular applause is an accurate indication of an actor’s success, Joseph stands high. As a victim of shell-shock, he gave a convincing portrayal of that condition. 159 z f'y IKMji grift ww): (filbert Cole proved a charming damsel in reduced circumstances. “Her” devotion to a lover in the face of a grave accusation called for emotional acting; Cole met the requirements in a most realistic manner. Robert Calfec was Briggs of Scotland '1 ard. As a detective Robert has 1 commanding stage presence. He bullied all the other characters into sub- mission with a ferocity little to be suspected from his usually placid manner. Judging from his first appearance, we may expect great things from Robert later. John Strong, as Benson, a plainclothes man, had little opportunity to act. He, however, spoke his lines clearly and convincingly, fully meeting the de- mands of his slender part. Cieorge Van Deusen was Lady Leicester. Though the limited role he played permitted him to occupy the stage for less than five minutes, he not only rose to the required emotional heights, but at the same time presented a picture of loveliness. A play by the Dramatic Club would hardly be complete without Richard Hendey as a policeman. This year he figured as a London “Bobby,” and played the part as if to the manner born. Richard certainly has the knack of handling thugs. 1 he most thankless and yet one of the most important roles is played off stage by the prompter. I his year it was the good fortune of the Dramatic Club to have Wendall AIcKown. 1 hough his services were not required in either performance, his presence near the stage gave confidence to the inexperienced members of the cast. To the stage manager, Archer Young, and to his assistant, James Warner, great credit is due for the construction of an appropriate setting. In concep- tion of the design and execution of the details they wrought to produce a scene as fitting as it was artistic. Robert Lees, assisted by Frank Sloan, exercised considerable ingenuity in securing many rather unusual stage prop- erties. As property managers, Sloan and Lees contributed much to the success of the play. 1 he supervision of all business arrangements was in the capable hands of William Conley, through whose executive ability all arrange- ments for the presentation of the play were successfully completed. 1 he skill and hard work of Air. Smoyer during the long weeks of arduous Preparation cannot be too deeply appreciated. Air. Smoyer’s wide knowledge of and intimate acquaintance with the theatre has made itself evident in the production of the play. I his year s performance, the second under his direc- tion, owed much of its finesse to his coaching. As long as he devotes as much of his spare time every winter to the Dramatic Club; the success of the play is assured. 160 alir Dramatir (Cant Q06 5 Y ( H EMDFY ) comt y fvms.

And bring to thine altar our off’ring of praise; Our hearts swell within us with joyful devotion, When Pawling’s renown in loud chorus we raise. The happiest moments of youth’s Heeting hours We’ve passed ’neath the shade of these time-honored walls And sorrows as transient as April’s brief showers Have clouded the glory of Pawling’s dear halls. And when life’s golden autumn with winter is blending, And brows, now so radiant, are furrowed with care; When the blightings of age on our heads are descending, With no early friends all our sorrows to share; Oh! Then as in memory backward we wander, And roam the long vista of past years adown, On the scenes of our student life often we’ll ponder, And smile as we murmer old Pawling’s renown. 168 fimness'u, 1 Hntrhkifls ttra-EJanrr (£nmmittrr John G.

Cortot at hxs Stewuocui J' STEINWAY THE INSTRUMENT OF THE IMMORTALS Beneath his hands ‘the most renowned pianos of the world’ have voiced their greatest glory. His genius has tested every great piano-maker’s work. Yet, for Alfred Cortot, there is but ‘one perfect instrument, the Steinway You who are about to select a piano, do you not find conviction in the experience of this master? What need that you experiment ? What guide more sure than this: that since Henry Steinway made his first piano the greatest artists have preferred above all others the instrument that bears his name ? Franz Liszt! Wagner! Rubinstein! The Stein- way was their piano. It is played and loved by Paderewski, by Hofmann, by Rachmaninoff. Friedman and Levitzki will have no other. Successively each generation of the Steinway family has pre- served the purpose that its product shall be as truly the piano of the home as it is the chosen instrument of the concert stage. The qualities that have endeared it to the masters are embodied in every Steinway that is made. For your home there is a Steinway, either grand or upright, which in tone and touch and action matches that which Cortot plays. Once you have set fingers to such an instrument, once you have known the beauty of its response, for you, thereafter, there can be ‘ but one per- fect piano, the Steinway.’ There is a Stcimcay dealer in your community or near you through whom you may purchase a neu� Steinuay piano with a cash deposit of to'-r, and the balance will be extended over a period of two years. Used pianos accepted in partial exchange. Prices: Uprights, $875 and up; Grands, $1425 and up; plus freight STEINWAY SONS, STEINWAY HALL 107-109 East 14th Street, New York City Subway Express Stations at the Door.
