Trinity Pawling School - Scroll Yearbook (Pawling, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 216 of the 1926 volume:

Copyright 1926 |{. M. Calfee, Jr. J. N. Furness College Animal Corporation 505 Fifth Avenue New York City jforetoorb In the production of this, the 1926 Scroll, the Board of Editors has endeavored in so far as possible to avoid following any one stereotyped form, and has attempted to in- troduce innovations which would add to the interest in the book. On the other hand, in order to fulfill the purpose, so fundamental to every year-book, of provid- ing a record of the year’s events, it has been necessary in many cases practically to duplicate many features of past Scrolls. How well the combination will be re- ceived only time can tell. But if, “when in memory backward we wander”, this volume shall recall in a measure “the happiest moments of youth’s fleeting hours”, then we shall feel that our work has indeed borne some fruit.

Doctor Frederick Luther Ganiage, the Headmaster of Pawling, began his eminent career as a schoolmaster immediately upon his graduation from Brown University in 1882. His first position was that of Greek Instructor in the Delaware Academy, Delhi, New York. In 1883 he was elected principal of the Oxford Aca- demy, 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 time 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 registration of over one hundred and eighty boys, with a grad- uating 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 by himself, in Pawling, New York, than it was acclaimed with the intensest interest and enthusiasm by his former patrons and boys everywhere Consequently he ex- perienced no difficulty whatsoever in opening school on the first of October, 1907, in the old Dutcher House, at Pawling, with seven masters and eighty-five students. To 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 nineteen 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 prin- ciples 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. The 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. Sima Jfflater Alma Mater, we hail thee with loyal devotion, And bring to thine altar our off’ring of praise; Our hearts swell within us with joyful de- votion, When Pawling’s renown in loud chorus we raise. The happiest moments of youth’s fleeting 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' sp radiant, are furrowed with care; When the blightings of age on our heads are descending, With no earlv friends all our sorrows to share; Oh! Then as in memory backward we wander, And roam the long vista of past years a down, On the scenes of our student life often w'e’ll ponder, And smile as we murmur old Pawling’s renown. JAMES M.

Alma Mater, thou hast taught us Faith and courage true to keep, Steadfast in the strength that cometh From the hills which round thee sweep. Evermore with eyes uplifted From thy fostering care we go, Strong to live, and reverent bear thee Tribute to the love we owe. tcfjarb Stephen J enbep, Senior Drefrct Robert Jfflartm Calfee, Jr. Joseph Clegg William Helms Hasfjar Stephen Cooke iDloen Darker (Emerson £s atoper William Cbtoarb Steers Cbtoarb german Wertheimer DONALD LOUDON BRYANT Don 184 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, N.

Wertheimer Parker E- Sawy« President yict-Prtsidtnt Wl)t Jjistotrp of tlje Class of 1926 The class of nineteen hundred and twenty-six is one which has tried to uphold the standards of Pawling during its few short years here. To recount the numerous accomplishments of its members would take many pages, whereas the time allows but a brief review. So I am going to endeavor to sketch merely the most out- standing events which have occurred during our stay. Following the early founding of the form in 1917, about which I am not in a position to speak without self-incrimination, the remainder of the class began to function in the fall of 1921, when Warner, Wertheimer and Furness entered the school. In this group alone one finds nearly every activity of the school represented. Warner has made a name for himself as Stage Manager of the Dramatic Club, as well as on the football and lacrosse fields. Wertheimer, as president of the Sixth Form, a prefect, and captain of baseball, basketball and tennis, has proved himself worthy of all the honors which he has received. Furness has represented the class on all the publications of the school, being Managing Editor of the Weekly and Phoenix, and Art Editor of the Scroll, as well as manager of hockey. I he year 1922 brought six more prominent members of our class into the school in the persons of Ticknor, von Dannenberg, Bryant, Johnson, Goodman and Hendey. Ticknor has proved himself as a member of th? football squad, hockey team, and Sixth Form Council, while von Dannenberg, in addition to being a member of the golf squad and Clerk of the House, has upheld the scholastic standing of the class throughout his four years in school. Bryant for three years has been a member of the Dramatic Club cast, and this year was Vice-President of the Club. He has also been an editor of the Weekly and a member of the golf 46 team. Johnson’s chief claim to greatness lies on the basketball and football fields, as well as in the fact that he has been a member of numerous dance committees. Goodman, formerly managing Editor of all three publications, and manager of foot- ball, has certainly done his share. Hendey, as Senior Prefect and admittedly the best all around athlete in the class, can boast of one of the most varied records in the Form. I lie captaincy of 1 rack, and membership on four other teams bespeak wonders for his activity. In 1923 the school welcomed nine more members of the class. Calfee, by his untiring efforts and great ability, has been Editor-in-Chief of both the Scroll and Weekly, a Prefect, President of the Dramatic Club, and manager of hockey. Gaines has done his share towards the success of the class by being a member of the Scroll Board, the Orchestra, and the hockey squad. Clegg as well as being a prefect, has been on the football and track teams, the Weekly Board, and the cast of the Dramatic Club. Clegg has won his letter in baseball in addition to being on the football and hockey squads. Gurney, head i oy of the class for the past two years, has also won many victories on the golf links, and is this year captain of the team and an officer of the Interscholastic Golf Association. Lashar's appoint- ment to a prefectship last fall points to the fact that he has contributed to the life of the school in no little measure. Howe's athletic ability has brought the one school more than victory in hockey, football, and track, and he has won his letter in all three sports, in addition to captaining the hockey squad. Merselis has distinguished himself on the basketball and football teams, and as a result of his personality, he was elected vice-president of the Athletic Association. Nineteen hundred and twenty-four brought ten new members of the class to school. Cluett has proved himself by being baseball manager, and Business-Manager of the Weekly and Scroll. Easton has played on the hockey and football teams, and is our distinguished class prophet. Hutton, by his persistence and tenacity, has earned a place on the football and basketball teams, as well as on the Weekly Board. Obermanns has been one of the shining lights on the Form, scholastically speaking, and has been a member of the Dramatic Club and Glee Club. Owen is our Valedictorian, and has been a Prefect and a member of the tennis and debating teams. Renick has been a member of the Weekly Board and the Dramatic Club. Rice has proved himself by being manager of basketball and Circulation Manager of the Weekly, in addition of being on the football squad. Sawyer earned a prefect- 47 ship for himself, was captain of the football team, and played on the basketball and lacrosse teams. Scott has been a member of the baseball and tennis squads, as well as a prominent candidate for scholastic honors. Steers, a Prefect, and one of the stars of the last Dramatic Club production, has also played his part in an athletic way by being a member of the swimming team. The fall of nineteen twenty-six brought the final two additions to the class, in the persons of Gorham and Avery Gould. Gorham has been on the football and hockey teams, as well as the Weekly Board, while Gould has played on the football and basketball teams. Let us now turn to the history of the class as a body since we have just heard the individual side. During our stay at Pawling we have earnestly endeavored to respect and follow the rules and examples set for us by preceeding Sixth Forms. We realized that, just as we lived up to the rules in our underform years, just so would the underformers be willing to follow us when we became Sixth Formers. When we returned to school last fall, we chose our class officers, as well as the member of the Sixth Form Council. The Sixth Form Council has beeen proved in the past to be the only and best means of guiding and counselling refractory underformers. Furthermore, during the past year, the class, in addition to leading the school in the matter of discipline, has been more than ordinarily well-represented on all the various teams and publications. The Sixth Form has also lead the rest of the school in scholarship throughout the year. We are sorry to leave Pawling, now that the time has come to bid farewell to the place which has been our home for the past few years. We know that during qhe last year we have made many mistakes, but we hope that we have had some share of success. However, any success which we have had we owe wholly and entirely to Dr. Gamage and to the faculty. They have worked hard and striven much to insure our successful completion of the course. To Dr. Gamage we owe a debt of gratitude which it will take years to repay for the friendly and fatherly advice which he has given us during his Sixth Form talks. We, the class of 1926, now hand over to you, the class of 1927, the reins of government of the school. We hope that you may profit by our mistakes and fulfill your obligations to your Alma Mater. 48 Clje JJropfjecp for tfjc Class of 1926 One fine day in 1946, I was driving from the tee at Sarasota, and when my ball had described that familiar slice and had passed out of sight and out of bounds, I prepared to sacrifice another sphere on the altar of the Great God Golf. But 1 was interrupted by a piercing scream from the direction of my wayward Kro- Flite. So, dropping my driver and putter, (the only clubs necessary to a sterling player like myself) I dashed to the rescue. When I had climbed the course fence, I found a large, broad, bearded man lying prone beside a banjo. There was a familiar look to his broad back, but I did not realize that it was Randy Ticknor until he muttered under his breath, “Oh, she did. eh? When he had revived and recognized me, peering through his bushy eyebrows, we returned to his nearby home and started to talk over old times. Finally, in an inspired moment, I sug- gested touring the country and looking up our old classmates. The matter was settled, and packing our banjos, we set out on our quest. Our first stop was in Passaic, where, w'e hunted for Fred Merselis. Poor Fred, it turned out, wras too short to get a bid from Ringling Brothers but too tall for almost anything else, and he had ended up as doormat� at the Ritz. We finally found him dressed in his pretty uniform, substituting for a broken traffic-tower. He had a wealth of information about the boys, being such a prominent figure in New' York life, and we went to Mat’s place to talk things over. Jim Furness, he told us, was the dramatic critic for the Police Gazette, and spent all his time roasting the masterpieces of Jules Eckert Goodman, Jr. Jules, n seemed, could handle temperamental actresses better than any other playwright in New York. Harry Johnson had stayed in touch with Fred, and was getting along famously making shoes and wearing them out in the Casa Lopez and in the Roose- velt Grill, where Pete Cluett was holding sway with his Peabody Orchestra, which had displaced Ben Bernie. This was all Fred knew, so Tick and I went up to the Roosevelt to watch for some of the fellows and to interview Pete. When we arrived, there was Tom Rice, officiating at the radio, broadcasting Pete's concert. We asked for more information, and after the orchestra had played “My Buddy”, we sat down and gathered a great deal of dope. Bill Gurney, it seemed, was assisting Paul Poiret and bade fair to become owner of the business. Poor Bill Lashar had gone out one night without his chains and had skidded in front of the New York, New Haven and Hartford. His last words were, “Bury me in Florida. I've passed many happy, carefree hours there and this time I shall be there to stay'”. 49 (Cl)t $3f)ropl)ecp for tlje Class of 1926 (Continued) The next day we went slumming over through Brooklyn, and who did we find but Don Bryant. He couldn’t give us any time, however, as he was hurrying to a rehearsal of his company’s latest hit. Just as we turned to leave the unfamiliar atmosphere of Brooklyn, two large, red-haired men walked past, singing loudly, and, acting on a hunch, I stopped the larger and said, “Aren’t you Wilbur Gould. “Sure enough”, he said, heavy-weight champion of the world, fighting under the name of ’Wild Wilb . ” Then he recognized me and called back his companion, who turned out to be none other than Avery, who, we learned, was singing at the Metropolitan Opera House as Pat McGonigle, the great Irish tenor. From “Avc” I learned that Jim Warner was running a racing stable at Bowie, secure in his element. He showed me a poster advertising Don Bryant's show, and when I noticed a familiar look to one of the uplifted limbs of a chorus girl, I stepped closer and sure enough, it had been painted by Jack Gaines who had studied art for years in French class. Hot on the trail of more old friends. Tick and I turned to leave Brooklyn when a heavy hand fell on my shoulder and 1 heard a gruff voice say, “You’re pinched for violating the “Wertheimer Anti-poster law”. I turned amazed, and found Bob Cal fee, the Sherlock of Pawling. When he recognized me and my companion, he decided to let us go free though it hurt his conscience horribly. I invited him to dine with us, and though he said he had lost his old craving for pea soup, we ate heartily while he told us of several of the old guard. We learned from him that Hendey was due to become President of the United States at the next election, and that Parker Sawyer of football fame would certainly be appointed his Secretary of State. Sawyer, Calfee said, had made himself very popular in a nation-wide campaign for bigger and better orphan asylums, and was an adept at baby-kissing through his practice on his corridor at school. Calf also informed us that Gregg, tired of having to borrow his Victrola records, had bought out the factory and was running it successfully due to his familiarity with the discs. Then Calfee had to leave to be on time to a lecture on “The Evils of Tobacco” by “ Pussyfoot” Wertheimer the reform king who, in conjunction with Stephen Owen, the rabid socialist who had been known to spend three days and nights on a single lecture, was making a tour of the country. Before Tick and 1 left New York State for our Western trip, we decided to run up to School and see the old place. When we arrived, I noticed a bearded old man hobbling up the steps. They told me it was Shuttleworth who was at last going to graduate provided he could only keep up in his French. 50 Cfje $ropfjecp for tfje Claes of 1926 (Continued) While at School I picked up a paper, and turning to the sporting page, saw several very familiar faces. There was Frank Howe, captain of the Montreal Maroons'’, who had cleaned up the hockey league, and Frank, standing in a threat- ening attitude with stick uplifted, looked very familiar indeed to Tick and me. And there also was Big Dickerson, who, not to be outdone by any swimmers of the ordinary stamp, had just swum the Channel backward. I also learned from the paper that Joe Clegg had turned out to be a second Paavo Nurmi and could run a mile or ten with equal ease, while bettering Nurmi’s record by eating two apples. Bill Scott also featured in the sport page, and the combination of “Schalk to Scott” was rapidly becoming as famous as the old “Tinker to Evers to Chance.” We then went west, and stopping at Erie, Pennsylvania, we found dear old Hank Obermanns busy working out income-tax returns for all the population. He was rapidly failing in health from these strenuous efforts, I always knew that Hank's brilliancy would bring about bis downfall. Nat Gorham we found in his native city of Buffalo, managing the Nicholl’s Hockey Club and handling a mean stick at left defense. We were very much surprised to find Dick von Dannen- berg in Buffalo, but there he was, topping the pinnacle of wisdom with gems of sage advice which he published in all the country's papers. Many young men owe all to Dick’s timely suggestions and hints. From Buffalo, we went to Chicago but we could not locate Satch Hutton any- where. Finally Tick, in a moment of inspiration, suggested that Norm’s failing had always been the fair sex, so when we extended our trip to Salt Lake City, sure enough, there was Norm bidding fair to become a second Brigham Young. For no reason at all, on our way back to civilization, Tick and I stopped at Chillicothe, and if there wasn’t Renick, Mayor and only inhabitant. From him we obtained some valuable advice on farming. We then set out to return to Florida, because I had completely forgotten the golf-ball that had struck Tick and I need all of those 1 can keep. When we arrived in Florida a new surprise awaited us. There was Buck Steers on location with a movie company. Buck was starring in a thrilling serial opposite Letty Lythe, and declared that he was enjoying life immensely. Seeing all our friends so well employed, Tick and I settled back in comfort, prepared to spend a life of ease clipping off the coupons. 51 F MitcheUSmUh ' Vie'-rr'uient George L.

Two of the victor's tallies came in the first seven minutes of playing-time, and left the Red and Black demoralized. The wide difference in the matter of first downs, favoring Pawling by twelve to seven, shows that Berkshire did not possess the overwhelming advantage that the scort indicates. In the next game, with Kent, poor judgement cost Pawling the game, and turned the match into a 25-6 victory for Kent. Long runs resulted in all the vis- itors’ scores, while Pawling lost at least two touchdowns by poor choice of plays Hotchkiss won a one sided game at Lakeville the following week, by a score of 40-0. For the first time during the season Pawling was both outplayed an4 outfought. As a result of the large number of casualties suffered during the first games of the schedule, the Milford game was cancelled, and the Red and Black eleven faced Taft in the annual homecoming game in the best condition of the season. Morris ami Captain Sawyer were out of the lineup, but the rest of the first string were in the game, and one of the best games of the year resulted. The Pawling line fought viciously, and the undefeated Taft eleven was unable to gain an inch from tackle to tackle. Lack of capable offensive was again a serious drawback to the home team, but all in all, the underdog eleven put up a marvelous fight. The consensus of opinion was that Taft was lucky to get away for two long runs which scored touch- downs. The final score of 14-0 indicates but little of the great game put up by the Red and Black. Of the seventeen lettermen of this season, nine return to school next fall, and a much better record is expected to materialize, providing injury and sickness do not again make their appearance. 70 Cf)t 1025 JfootbaU quab Laing, N.

Weatherley The Pawling Third Team, composed of players. either too light or too inex- perienced for the Varsity Squad, has for the past years been the chief contributor to the ranks of the first team. Coached by Mr: Reiter, the Third Teams arc always exceptionally strong, and during the past three years they have lost only one game, playing through schedules which included games with the Junior teams of Kent, Canterbury, South Kent, Stone, the Pawling High School, and others. This year, under the leadership of Horace Schneider, the Third Team opened its season by holding the heavier South Kent eleven to a 6-6 tie. I he game was played in a blinding snow storm, and no real football could be shown. The second game of the season resulted in a defeat at the hands of Kent, the first time a third team has been beaten in three years. Nevertheless, the game was closely played, and some real football was shown by both teams. The game was played at Kent. In this game Carter. Conley, and Schneider played excellently. In the last game of the season the George Junior Republic was swamped, by a score of 35-0. The two teams were of about the same weight, bui the Red and Black was far more experienced. Conley, Schneider, and N. Laing played their usual good game. 72 any - aljtr ©rant. bottom -Sljr ifliiuirt aram.

Some twenty five youngsters composed the squad which Mr. Anderson and Mr. Reiter drilled daily, and a great deal of progress was made in the fundamentals of the game. The Midgets were given a definite series of plays to master, and this was accomplished inside of six weeks. The first game was played with the Midgets of Rumsey Flail, and resulted in a 21-14 defeat for the Pawling team. F'or the first half, pitted against a team of their own size and weight, the Pawling Midgets more than held their own. and at the end of the opening half they held a lead of 7-0. But in the second period, against boys weighing twenty or thirty pounds more, the Midgets were steadily pushed back, and lost their advantage. Undoubtedly some excellent material was unearthed among the members of the Midget squad, which should be of varsity timber after another year or two of experience. 74 .1 I : i • � JL )t 1926 Jtoeball Association !

Faced with the necessity of developing an entirely new infield, with the sole exception of a third baseman, and forced to depend largely upon inexperienced men in every position, Coach von Lehsten has apparently solved the problem in an excel- lent fashion, and he should by the end of the season be able to put upon the field a team capable of holding its own with the average preparatory school nine. At the present time (somewhere in April) the problem of developing a battery seems to be most vexatious problem, and should it be solved effectually, the sup- porters of the Red and Black may look for a return of the old diamond prestige of the Pawling school. Gregg. W. Ray, and Hendey comprise a trio of mound ar- tists who should be able to produce a reasonable number of victories if given the proper support afield. Of th - three, Gregg has by far the best control, but lacks the stuff which Ray and Hendey possess. Hendey should develop rapidly providing he can develop a trifle more control, while Ray has a great deal of promise. D. Ray will in probability have to bear the brunt of the catching, inasmuch as an unfortunate injury to his shoulder has forced D. Laing, one of the most prom- ising hitters on the squad, to give up baseball. The chief fault to be found with Ray is that he has difficulty in hitting consistently. The yawning gap presented at first base by the inability of Captain Wertheimer to play should be filled reasonably well by Lindsay. A trifle slow, and with a ten- dency to forget himself in the field, he should be a valuable man through his hit- ting ability when once he garners a little experience. Ryckman will be his under- study. There is also a bare possibility that Captain Wertheimer will be ame to resume the position during the latter part of the schedule when the big games are scheduled. Scott, Brown and Posener are three likely candidates for the keystone sack, and all will probably see service during the season. Posener the youngest of the trio, has the best batting eye, and can field the position nicely. Sibley’s ability to hit the ball, as shown during the early season workouts, may diminish somewhat when the curves of the Hotchkiss and Taft hurlers are faced, but at the present time he seems to be the probable choice for shortstop. He can field fairly w'ell also. Stone at third will probably be the only veteran member of the inner cordon, and his experience will be valuable. He should hit much better than he did last year, and his fielding should be much more reliable. Gaines will more than likely break into many games as a reserve infielder. The outfield’s makeup cannot be predicted much before the start of any game, inasmuch as there are a dozen men whose playing ability is much on a par. Hendey will certainly play at left field, the place he has held for three years, when he does not officiate on the mound, but his job is the only one considered cinched. Sloan, Easton, X. Laing. Howe. West and Calfec are all possibilities. The sixteen game schedule will test the caliber of the team to the utmost, and the end of the season should see more t iat half of the games put on the credit side of the ledger. It has been several years since the annual Hotchkiss series has been won, and not since 1924 has the Red and Black defeated the Lakeville team. Kent has not bowed since 1923, when the 15-vear-old winning streak of the Pawling team was ended. Taft and Milford were defeated last year, and will be out for revenge. Alt the SCROLL can do is to predict. And how often are predictions right ? 80 Richard S. Hendey, ’26 Captain L )e 1U26 arach cfjebulc April 30—White Plains High School at Pawling W.

The discovery or the development of one or two goood men in each of three events would seem to be the so’e requisite ft) an extraordinarily successsful season. Starting the season with three letter men. and with several men who have proved themselves to be almost sure point winners at other schoools, the great need scents to be for a good sprint man for the 100 and 220-yard dashes, and a pole vaulter who can clear the bar at something better than 10 feet 3 inches. Captain Hendey can be relied upon to do some excellent high jumping, as well as to take care of the high hurdles. His jumping last year was one of the features of the season, and he should be able to do 5 feet 9 with ease, with the possibility of going even higher. Schneider will again run the 440-yard race, and with the added experience of another year’s running, he should prove an exceptionally hard man to beat at this distance. Since neither of the men who defeated him in the Hotchkiss and Taft meets last year are again running this season, it is hoped that he may take a first place in both, meets. Clegg's running of the half mile last year won him a first place against Taft, and he is counted on to repeat this year. He may also run the 220 if he is needed. J. and W. Dickerson, formerly of Lawreilceville. boast excellent records in the weight events, and will probably compete in the hammer, discus, and shot put, although the latter event is a new one for them. J. Weatherley, who last year did the mile and 880-yard runs, will probably spend the greater part pf his time on the distance runs, and he should improve greatly this year. He has developed much in a physical way during the past year, and this fact will aid him in cutting his time. Sibley, although much of his time is devoted to baseball, should with Wett- laufer and D. Idling comprise a trio from whom the Red and Black sprint men will be chosen. The former has a great deal of natural speed which, if developed, should gain him a place. , Chalmers, Trowbridge, Howe and Washburne will bear hutch watching through- out the season, and should prove valuable material. The latter two will probably be entered in the hurdle events, in which they specialized last year, and they should cut their times for the sticks quite measurably. Chalmers and Trowbridge will probably specialize in the jumps and the sprints. Retiick, Holder, Macgregor, N. Laing and Sawyer will probably all be heard from before the season is over in one event or another. All are doing much better as the season progresses, and they will undoubtedly receive a great deal of con- sideration before the schedule is terminated. 85 TRACK RECORDS °j Event Record Name Year 100 Yd.

H. Wertheimer compiled a record of 7 vic- tories and 4 defeats out of a total of 11 games played, resulting in an average of .636. This is a laudable record considering the fact that the term was without the services of its captain in the last four games of the season. Basketball practice began immediately after the close of the football season, some two weeks be fore the Christmas vacation. Coach von Lehsten soon discovered that it was necessary to divide the squad, so he separated it into two main groups, which he called the first and second teams. I he first team was headed by Captain Werthei- mer, one of the highest scorers on last year’s team, around whom the coach planned to build this years team. Merselis, a letter man of two years ago, one of the best centers Pawling has ever had, came back to the squad. Besides Wertheimer, Johnson, Stone. Blown, and D. Laing were contenders for offensive positions; whille Hendey, Sawyer, Hutton, Washburne, and A. Gould were fighting hard for the guard positions. On Thursday, January 14, the team defeated the Eastman quintet, 29-25. in a poorly played game. Although the Pawling men displayed a great deal of latent power, the offensive work was ragged and unsteady. ‘I he first quarter of the game was a run-away for Pawling, the score being 12-4 when it ended. In the second period many substitutes replaced the regular men in our line, but even with these changes the score stood 20-13 in our favor when the half ended. The regular line- up again took their places when the second half began, but after quickly raising the score to 25-13, were replaced again by the substitutes. At this point the visitors suddenly awoke and started on a rampage, bringing their score up from 13 to 23 without a single point having been scored by Pawling. Then our boys braced and caged two shots to Eastman’s one before the game ended 29-25 in our favor. 90 iBasfectbaU Ketoieto (Continued) In a practice game on January 19, Pawling completely routed Dover Plains 68 to 18, in a one-sided game. After the first team had secured a safe lead, the seconds were substituted, but the scoring attack continued just the same. Merselis was the high point scorer, with Wertheimer a close second. The pass work and shooting of the team showed great improvement. l he third game of the season resulted in a defeat at the hands of the Clinton quintet. The visitors presented a veteran machine, and won one of the fastest games ever played on the Pawling court. Although completely outclassed in the first half of the game. Pawling staged a marvellous comeback and fought on even terms throughout the latter part of the contest. The DeWitt Clinton five, nearly everyone being over six feet tall, displayed a superior brand of basketball, and deserved to win; nevertheless the Pawling quintet put up the hardest kind of fight, and deserve a great deal of credit. Wertheimer of Pawling, with Wolf and Morgan of Clinton, were the highest point scorers, each totaling ten points. On Monday, January 25, the Pawling five defeated the Amenia Men’s Club, 42-27. Throughout the game Pawling proved vastly superior to the visitors, and kept a good lead all the way through. The Amenia team attempted to stage a come-back in the last quarter, but our team had much too great a lead. Wert- heimer was the high point scorer of the afternoon. On January 29, our team defeated the Crosby quintet in a very close game, winning by the narrow margin of 28-20. Although our boys held the lead by a score of 17-11 at the end of the first half, the visitors made such a terriffic attack during the third quarter that when this endec the score stood 21-29 in favor of Pawling. The last period was the deciding one of the game. Both teams fought fiercely and guarded excellently; nevertheless the Pawling quintet had the extra bit of punch necessary to win. The best scorer in this game proved to be Merselis, who totaled thirteen points. The next game resulted in a 49-29 defeat at the hands of the New York Stock Exchange team. The Pawling team fought almost an even battle with the visitors until the final quarter, when a fresh team supplanted our opponents’ regular line- up. Lack of capable reserve strength counted heavily against Pawling toward the end of the game, and also aided the New York players in rolling up such a high score. Merselis was again the high scorer, with a total of thirteen points. In the next game Pawling showed that in spite of her recent defeat she still had a punch, and, as a result, our men defeated the Brooklyn Poly Prep quintet by the score of 40-37. At half time the Poly Prep team led by the score of 19-17. 91 Basketball $ ebteto [Continued] However, Pawling fought fiercely in the second half, and aided by Merselis, who went on a veritable rampage, scoring six field goals, they succeeded in nosing out the team from Brooklyn. Merselis was the high point scorer, with sixteen points to his credit. As the last part of the schedule began to be played the Pawling team continued to play a good brand of basketball in spite of the fact that Captain Wertheimer at forward, and Laing at center were lost for the remaining games. At this junc- ture we won the most exciting game of the season when the Irving team was de- feated by the score of 24-23 on their own court at Tarrytown. This was Pawling's first game on an opponents’ court, and it seemed tc produce a favorable effect upon them. In the closing minutes of play the Irving team staged a marvelous rally, but the Pawling team managed to withstand the onslaught, and the final whistle found Pawling in the lead by the scanty margin of one point. Brown, playing his first game for Pawling, replaced Wertheimer, and played very well. The team continued to play inspired basketball, and our next victim was Adelphi Academy of Brooklyn, which was decisively defeated 34-7. Hendey, who had been playing guard, was shifted to center, and, with Ryder and Brown at forwards, an effective combination was found. So well did the team as a whole play that the points were practically divided between the center and forwards, Ryder getting five baskets and Hendey and Brown four apiece. In the next to the last game of the season the team went down to defeat at the hands of the Milford School from Connecticut by the score of 46-18. In this game the team which had played against Adelphi started and held the visitors to a 4-4 score for the first quarter. At this juncture some of the less experienced men on the squad were substituted, but could not hold Milford and permitted them to obtain a strong lead before the half was over. Illness again overtook the Pawling team, with the result that both Ryder and Brown were out of the Taft game, in which we were defeated 18-8, at Watertown, Conn. Hendey was shifted to forward, Merselis taking Hendey’s place at center, while Stone played the other forward. The first half marked the poorest basketball the team displayed throughout the season, and the half ended with Taft in the lead by the exceedingly low score of 12-4. Th strangeness of the exceptionally short and very wide court may have accounted in part for the poor playing of our team, as the teams held each other practically even during the second half. With Laing, Brown, Stone, Washburne, Sibley, forming the nucleus of next year’s squad, the team has every indication of giving Pawling a Championship basketball team. 92 Frank W.

Zi)e 1925 Ilockep Reason After rather a discouraging start, during which three games were lost by exceptionally close mar- gins, the 1926 hockey team braced, and in a startling recovery swept to victory in four of its remaining five games. Beginning the early practice season with fair prospects, the sextet was constantly hampered by the lack of ice before the Christmas vacation, and as a result got very little opportunity to develop teamwork before the holiday. Many of the squad did, however spend part of their vacations playing on artificial rinks, and when the squad as- James N. Furness, 26 sembled for the first time after Christmas, much Manager progress had been made. Two days after school reopened Jamaica High School sent the New York champions up for the first game of the season. In a fast game on poor ice the Red and Black succumbed by a score of 1-0, after outplaying the visitors as in- dividuals throughout the game. The game showed that Pawling had an excellent set of forwards in Captain Howe and Smith, a sterling defense in Easton and Ticknor, and a crack goal guard in Morris. The one weak spot in the team was at right wing, and throughout the year this position proved the one vulnerable spot in the outfit. Hotchkiss was next encountered on the Pawling rink, and after the hardest kind of fight the school went down to defeat, by a 5-3 score. After allowing the Blue skaters to outplay them completely for the opening periods, during which time they ran up a score of 5-1, the Pawling sextet came back valiantly, and largely through the great work of Captain Howe, they drew up to within two points of the lead. But the handicap was too great, and Hotchkiss teamwork was not to be denied. The final score of 5-3 favored Hotchkiss. Playing the best game of the year, and displaying the best hockey which any Pawling team had shown for a long time, Kent was played to a standstill before they were able to get a 3-2 verdict. Pawling took the lead at the start, and held the advantage for the first two periods. Kent’s reserve power told in the end, how- ever, and in the last twenty seconds Palmer netted the puck for the winning goal. Determined to break the jinx which seemed to be steadfastly pursuing them, the Pawling team faced Canterbury the following Saturday on the home rink. The visitors were no match for the smooth line work of the Red and Black team, and the home defense had little trouble in repulsing the infrequent attacks made by Canterbury. The final score of 11-0 indicates clearly the relative merits of the two teams. 96 Cfje 1925 jockey Reason (Continued) Berkshire was sent down to a 2-1 defeat in the next game, played on the Sheffield team’s rink. Here, as in the Kent game, Captain Howe's individual bril- liancy gave the Pawling team an early advantage, and this time it was not relin- quished. Berkshire’s score came only in the closing stages of the game, when there could be little doubt as to the outcome. Taft's sextet was the third consecutive victim which the Red and Black found, and in a fiercely fought game, in which Smith proved by all odds the individual star, the home team triumphed by a score of 1-0. Poor ice alone kept the score so low. Berrian Posener, 1921, next brought up a team of alumni skaters, and engaged the Red and Black team in a close game before succumbing by a TO score. I he game was marked by a lack of the team-work which had been one of the salient features of the previous victories, but the strain of the hard schedule undertaken may be advanced as a reason for this. Immediately after the victory over the Old Boys, a trail of misfortune seemed to dog the sextet and its results almost certainly deprived the Pawling team of its lone requirement for a successful season, in the shape of a victory over Hotchkiss. Morris, whose stellar goal tending had been one of the features of the season was seized with an attack of the grippe just before the second Hotchkiss game, and as a result it was necessary to groom Jacobs for his place. Then with all plans made, and with Jacobs booked to start the game, a flying practice puck, which hit him in the eye, acted as the proverbial wrench in the machinery and cost the team his services. There remained nothing to do save start D. Ray, the third substitute goalie, whose gameness could not be questioned, but who had never before played a game at the position. For the first period the game fulfilled every hope expressed by the Pawling sympathizers. Ticknor and Howe thrice eluded the efforts of the Hotchkiss skaters, and each time netted the puck. With a lead of 3-0 after the first three minutes of play, it settled as though nothing could prevent an overwhelming victory, especially since young Ray was playing superby. Even when Childs netted a shot just as the period ended it seem- ingly made no difference. But then the jinx made its appearance, and blighted the hopes of the Red am! Black's supporters. Six Hotchkiss shots found their way into the cage during the next period, and the exaltation of the spectators had changed to the deepest gloom. I he final period was evenly played, and each team scored once. The game ended with the score of 8-4 favoring Hotchkiss. The season just ended amply demonstrated the wisdom of the authorities in providing the new playing surface. Never was a game cancelled when the tem- perature even approached the freezing point, and it cannot be doubted that the playing surfaces this season surpassed those of any other year by a wide margin. 97 John D.

Dickenson, Jr., ’26 Intertcolastic Back-Strike Champion In reviewing the 1926 swimming season too much credit cannot be given to the team as a whole for keeping a clean slate, and to J. Dickerson for his work in breaking the National Interscholastic backstroke record. Although the manager was able to secure only two dual meets because of the very great amount of sick- ness prevalent in school, these two contests were run off with Pawling holding the lead throughout. At the two interscholastic meets in which the team competed, the Red and Black swimmers were able to take a fourth and a fifth place, largely due to the sterling individual work of Dickerson. The teams encountered at these meets ranked as the best in the country. The first meet was with Crosby High of Waterbury, in the Munsill pool. I his resulted in an easy victory for the Red and Black mermen, the final score being 38—17. 'I he Pawling team captured five first places and three seconds in piling up its high total. 100 The following week Pawling sent six men to the Columbia Interscholastics, with Dickerson as the chief hope for a first place. He did not disappoint his sup- porters, and placed first in the fifty-yard backstroke, his time breaking the national record: but since there were only two watches catching his time, the record was not considered official. The five points garnered in this event gave Pawling fifth place in the final scoring. The next and final dual encounter was with Hotchkiss, also in the Pawling tank. The Red and Black romped away with another victory, the final score being 37-25. Reside winning the relay by a wide margin. Pawling took three other firsts and four seconds. Dickerson and Captain Larkin starred, the former getting first places in the fifty-yard backstroke and in the fifty-yard free style, as well as swim- ming anchor man on the relay team, whi.e Captain Larkin took first in the 220 and second in the 100. The dive was perhaps the most interesting event and was won by J. H. Brooks of Hotchkiss by some exceptionally pretty work. Steers and Crook of Pawling finished second and third. Dickerson’s time in the backstroke broke the pool record by a wide margin. On the next day Dickerson finished the season by setting a new National In- terscholastic mark—30 1 10 seconds—in the 50-yard backstroke at the Rutgers In- terscholastic Meet. These five points gave Pawling fourth place in the meet. With a nucleus composed of Louttit and Goodrich, the relay team next year will probably do as well if not better than this year's four, and the other events, with Crook, Ray. Mead, and other members of this year's squad to fill the vacant places left by the graduation of Steers, Dickerson and Larkin, should be well taken care of. 101 Officer William H.

It proved an exceptionally timely Christmas Greeting to many an old boy who had not yet revisited his Alma Mater since his graduation. A greeting from Dr. Gamage proved the chief point of interest in the Bulletin, and was supplemented by much general news pertaining to the school. Short write- ups for the various athletic teams were also included in the pamphlet. Probably the greatest contribution to the issue were the large number of per- sonal items which included news of men from every class which has been graudated from Pawling. The Executive Secretary, Mr. Henderson, is to be commended for the excellence of the entire book. Zi)e anbboofe After a lapse of several years during which no Handbook was issued, the fall of 1925 saw one of the most complete booklets ever edited brought out by Harold Gross of the class of 1925. Containing suggestions as to the conduct of a new boy in his first year at boarding school in an article advising one concerning his actions during the first few months of the year, the book proved exceptionally valuable. It also contained a summary of the various organizations existing at Pawling, with a brief writeup of each, and concluded with a space in which a diary might be kept. 11« pmpfjonp (Drcfjcstra (Dfficer John Gaines . . .

He probably never would admit, however, the real reason for the difficulty, which is that he generally has to do such violence to his conscience— throwing bouquets where by all the rules of art he should be hurling death-dealing missiles from large calibre guns. If this be the real reason for the critic’s difficul- ties, the present writer should be understood if he begins by saying that he has an easy task. In the first place, the choice of a preparatory school play lays a heavy burden on the judgment of the Director. Of all such plays the present writer has seen in various schools, three alone, of which The Whole Town’s Talking is one, have been successful. The intrinsic value of the play seems to count hardly at all, in- asmuch as Moliere’s Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme and the present flimsy, hokum- filled Emerson-Loos farce produce equally happy results. A Director must keep in mind only what prep-school boys (many acting women's roles) can do well, and reject everything else. Here the present critic must bow to the Director’s judg- ment, though he himself could never have visualized the outcome by a reading of the play. Another paragraph, however, is due the Director. He cannot be over-eulogized for the perfection of detail for which he alone was responsible. Anyone with an eye for things theatrical and an acquaintance with modern plays could direct the ordinary movements, voice changes and the rest of the elementary stage business. I o teach boys, however, to raise their eyebrows, tilt their heads, use not merely arms and hands, but even fingers effectively, in short, do a thousand little things that the emotion-repressing Anglo-Saxon rarely does at all, much less well—that is a task, and a task that in this case was remarkably well done. In view of such excellence, it seems almost superfluous to comment on such things as excellent enunciation, correct pronunciation of such elusive vocables as perfume, address, and pretense; remarkable ease of movement and spontaneity of dialogue. Sufficient proof of the critic.'s judgment in these matters was given by each of two differently constituted audiences, who in the two performances seemed to miss no single line or situation. Even those barbarians, the actor’s class and school mates who came, cherishing to the farthest corner of their active brains the images of cabbage- stumps, turnips, onions, and missiles less refined, surrendered without even a prelim- inary skirmish and remained to beat their little palms and fill the hall with their innocent laughter. And now the poor critic with full knowledge that comparisons are odious and worse; that his life, health, and future career will probably be at stake should he fall on that slippery ground where angels fear to ambulate, is none the less tempted to play to fool’s role and rush in with a few lines for the individual player’s press- notice scrap-book. 131 Ill the judgment of one who was in touch with the play from its first read ng by the cast, the work of Steers as Roger Shields stands as the finest. front an unspeakably poor original conception of his part. Steers by hard work created in the final performance a well nigh perfect characterization, tho suffering at the time from extreme physical weakness and collapse. By his delicate changes in facial expressions we were seldom at a loss to interpret not only the action but the thoughts of this combined fop and cad. In the case of this actor alone we may perhaps go so far as to speak of an appreciation of nuance, that noun which is the critic's exclusive property and should be used at least once in all good criticisms. Horace Schneider as the romantic Mrs. Simmons, disillusioned as to her hus- band but with hopes still high for the ideal man ior her daughter, is also to be highly commended for doing exceedingly well what was tremendously difficult for him. One still chuckles over Mrs. Simmons enjoyment at her husbands discom- fiture when confronted by his supposed acquaintance. Swift. Few are privileged to know how these two boys must have labored for their results. Robert Cal fee as the match-making father fought and conquered a tendency toward overacting and produced a convincing character. He is to be especially commended for his unusual mobility of feature and his intelligence in making it count. Joseph Clegg as Donald Swift, the ex-prize fighter trying to adapt himself to the social requirements of his new position as fiance and manager of the cinema actress, l.etty Lythe, was another example of the Director's uncanny ability in casting. No boy in school could have handled this role as Clegg did. Donald Bryant as Chester Binney was an improvement on the casting of the original New York production, for while acting well the role of an incredibly thick” individual he yet had enough charm to make plausible his final conquest of Kthel. The technical difficulties of this part were considerable, involving a care- fully graduated crescendo from the character of a dull, unromantic business man to a more or less suave gallant aspiring to marry a fairly modern flapper. Bryant's best bit of acting tin which Calfee also shared) was his intense amusement over Simmon's squirming when the latter's wife called the hotel for Swift. Ethel Simmons, whose matrimonial problems, subjective and objective, are the raison ! etre, if there is any, for the play, lived quite naturally in the work of Thompson Conley. It is no easy matter for a boy with no effeminate mannerisms to accustom himself in a few weeks to the intricacies of feminine wearing apparel, much less to become a modern flapper with all her ways. Conley deserves a great deal of credit for the manner in which he overcame a boy’s natural repugnance to oscillatory orgies, and the ease and naturalness he displayed in his scenes with parents, fiancee, and girl friends. George MacGregor gave us a very realistic movie actress as Letty Lythe. He wore well his gorgeous costumes, and despite his size moved about with a great deal of grace and charm. 132 Sadie Bloom and the taxidriver in the Thursday production were well played by Alick Zraick. He was taken suddenly ill, however, and Richard Parke, who had but a few hours to learn his part and no rehearsal whatsoever, replaced him on Saturday night. Parke's entrance was a signal for near-riot when both audience and cast were overcome by hilarity at such toughness as has rarely been witnessed since the Bowery has ceased to perform its legitimate function. As Annie, the maid, John Myles got all that could be extracted from his lines, and contributed no little amusement by his pantomime at the beginning of the first act. Lila Wi'son and Sally Otis, the contributions of Morris Shipley and Archibald MacLeish, are mentioned iast merely because they were acted by the youngest members of the cast. A great deal of real atmosphere was added to the play by these boys. Lila's lisp caused much laughter, and her beauty occasioned comment, even in competition with the charming guests of “Prom week.” No play given by amateurs, hovvevei’ could live for three acts on acting alone There must be costumes—and there were, of such beauty, variety and taste as is seldom seen in amateur theatricals. The Club's debt to Mrs. F. L. Gamage, Jr. is a heavy one, for out of a bedraggled heap of costumes of former plays emerged by magic the very essence of chic, like Venus Anadyomene rising from the East River. Out of the cast-offs of yester-year from here, there, and everywhere came modish. Rue de la Paix gowns; and all with so little expenditure for materials that one must regard as a myth the current opinion concerning the high cost of dressing women. The Dramatic Club is deeply sensible of Mrs. Gamage’s interest in its work and highly appreciative of her thought and effort in assuming full charge of the costuming. There must be scenery—and here again the Club was fortunate in having in James Warner, a Stage Manager of exceptional skill. A pity it is that schools have not a greater number of boys who can not only create something out of nothing but can be absolutely depended upon to chuck all fool- ing long enough to do unsupervised a man’s job. Hurd was a most willing assistant to Warner. There must be an Electrician—and never was a more efficient one discovered than in Henry Obermanns. There must be an efficient Promp- ter, who gets no glory but much abuse, and in Charles Renick, who was always “on the job” the ideal was found. Finally the Club is indebted to Richard Hendey for his competence and attention to ail the details necessary for a smooth-running production. A critic wouldn’t deserve his name, I suppose, should he fail to contribute a few adverse criticisms; so here goes. The setting was a bit garish, to be excused, possibly on the grounds that the Simmons family would enjoy an extra bit of color. The actors failed sometimes to take account of the audience's laughter and hold back their lines. There was an occasional too loud overtone, as well as an occasional too soft undertone, if such an expression may be permitted. Beyond these trifles it would be an ungenerous, unwise, inexact, and harsh critic who would find fault in his review of a prepscnool's theatricals. 133 Letty Lythe (MacGregor) Roger Shields (Steers) Mrs Simmons i Schneider) Donald Swift (Clegg) Renick Prompter Mr. Barnum Stage-Director Warner Stage Manager 137 Mr. Smoyer Director Obermanns Electrician r -. iflib Winter Jfestitnties Cbents Frida}% February 12th Mid-winter Prom, 8:30—2:30 Saturday, February 13th Glee Club Recital, 3:30 Faculty Tea, 5:00—6:00 Dramatic Club Play, “The Whole Town’s Talking”, 8:30 Dancing, 11:00—12:00 Sunday, February 14th Sermon by Dr. Gamage 11 :00 140 Commencement Prom.

Posener, that he in- tends opening the best Cloak and Suit Emporium that Appalling has ever seen I'll give the Appalling people the very best,” said Mr. Posener, when inter- viewed by an Appealling reportor. I am going to have nothing but good goods and at sample, I am stocking the nifty Lashar Mohair suits at $7.50, with two pairs of pants and three vests. Think what three vests will mean to the Appalling citizen. The new Emporium is going to be on the sight of Banker’s Saloon, which was destroyed by fire a few days ago. It is reported that Mr. Banker has sold out cheap to Mr. Posener. The Appalling Weakly wishes to con- gratulate Mr. Posener at this time and hopes that he will not find it hard to sell to Appalling people. USE TAYLOR ALARM CLOCKS IF YOU WISH TO BE ON TIME. (Advt.) Handsomest Man Elected !!! At a meeting of the Apalling Odd Fellows Club last night, Mr. Fred Mer- selis was elected handsomest man. He led his nearest competitor, Mr. W. Ray, by a great margin. Appalling is proud that t has such r presentative citizen for Mr. Merselis is president of the local cemetery fund for inebriates. WYETH RAY ADDRESSES CAMP FIRE GIRLS Last night the Appalling camp fire Ray, noted love expert, on the subject: girls were addressed by Mr. Wyeth “How to be Mother’s good little Camp Fire girl!” Mr. Ray said in part: When a boy at school I was very pop- ular with all the girls but the only girls I would have anything to do with were camp fire girls. You can easily see that it pays to be camp fire girls every time.” After Mr. Ray’s talk, the local band furnished music. It was lead as usual by the capable J. Easton who is said to be able to blow out a candle through a two inch board, with his cor- net. A petting party which was enjoyed by all closed the evening. Pres. Shut- tleworth announces that Mr. Ray is go- ing to speak again in the very near future. This time a charge of 10 cents a person will be asked because Mr. Ray is going to show pictures of him- self as a boy at school. NOTED ENGINEER RETIRES Burton Howe, the engineer who for the past ten years has piloted the fast 12:08 from Appalling to New York, has retired. In appreciation for his long years of service in their employ, the New York Central has presented Mr. Howe with a Lionel Electric train set. Mr. Howe is going to install this in his back yard and invites all his many friends to come and play with him. 150 BUY BOGERT’S LIVER PILLS Cfje Appalling tt)eafclp SOCIAL NOTES ADVERTISEMENTS Rev.
