Of course much, and perhaps almost all, of this co- operation was due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Hall, who worked unceasingly throughout the season and so in congratulating the team as a whole, it must not be for- gotten who was responsible in a large measure for its success. In considering the team, perhaps one of the hardest jobs will lx? to pick out the individual stars, for it is an undeniable fact that the whole team starred in practically every game. How- ever, there were, there had to be, a few outstanding players, and, taking the whole season into consideration, probably the foremost of these were Caulk ins and Clement. Caulk ins at left end was by far the most outstanding man in the line, and was one of the team’s vital cogs on both offense and defense. Likewise, Clement was the outstanding man in the back- field. These two may be said to be the two single persons most responsible for the team’s success. However, if it had not been for an unfortunate injury to his leg, Leftwich would have been equally valuable. Hut in mentioning these, Captain Sibley, Ken Weeman and Hovey immediately come to mind. Sibley was one of the best men for interference on the team, and probably the star defensive man in the backfield. Ken Weeman played an excep- tional game at quarter throughout the season, and, besides, was the vital factor in the inter- ference. Hovey played a halfback and was probably just as great a ground gainer as Clement. In fact, his work was really so excellent that he might be added to the list of the stars of the team. In the line, Captain-elect Ray could lx? counted on to play an excellent and consistent Cljc 1027 Jfoottmll Reason game at center. Me was undoubt- edly one of the best defensive men Pawling had. Condon at tackle was a star of the line and filled his position as capably as any tackle the school has ever had. Bogert, at the other tackle, has played on the team longer than anyone else, this being his third consecutive year as a varsity reg- ular. In those years he has played unusually well and has always been regarded as one of the most effi- cient and reliable men in the line. This was R. Ryckman’s second year at guard, and during the time he has been on the team he has fill- ed that position reliably and well. I). Carvalho played the other guard, and, though this was his first year on the team in that position he distinguished himself throughout the season. Lampton, at end, also played a new position this year; his work was not brilliant, but it was very good and consistent. Turner, at end, had several bits of bad luck which spoiled an otherwise excellent end. In one of the first games of the year he suffered an unfortunate injury to his arm which kept him, more or less, from playing very much during the remainder of the season. This year, as last, the season was started off with St. Stephen’s College Varsity. It was played on the home field, and in spite of the high temperature was fairly exciting, considering the fact that this was the first encounter of the year for both St. Stephen’s and Pawling. The game, which ended in a scoreless tie, was marred by numerous fumbles by both teams. The most exciting part of the game, however, came in the fourth period when Pawling held St. Ste- phen’s for downs on the three-yard line. It was, of course, at that time too early to get any very definite line-up on the team. Although a good part of the squad got in the game, there was no particularly outstanding player or players. The next game, with Salisbury, showed how much improvement could be made with one Cfje 1927 Jfootball Reason more week’s practice. Marked de- velopment of the team’s aerial attack was evident, and, indeed, it was this factor that was respon- sible for two of Pawling’s four touchdowns. Sixteen forward passes were tried during the game and of these five were completed for a net gain of 112 yards. Both teams played well, but Paw- ling was from the beginning evi- dently far superior to Salisbury. In fact only once was Salisbury inside Pawling’s 30-yard line. Uilheim starred for the home team and made its sole touchdown by run- ning back a punt. For Pawling. Sibley and Clement played well in the backfield and Caulkins and Turner distinguished themselves in the line. Leftwich made the first touchdown of the game by taking the ball across on two successive plays from the 30-yard line. He later made two more touchdowns, both of which were the results of passes from Clement. Sibley made the one other touchdown by a line buck after the ball had been taken down the field in a steady march. I he third game of the season was with Berkshire, and was perhaps the first real test of the year. Pawling proved to be a much better balanced and more smoothly working team, and by starting the game with a rush, carried Berkshire off its feet in the first quarter. On the other hand, Berkshire seemed to lack co-operation and w'as unable to get its off tackle and end run plays, which had been worked so effectually against Hotchkiss the preceding week, working well. Caulkins at end starred for Pawling. He made one of Pawling’s touchdowns and was responsible for a good many gains by catching some very pretty passes. In the backfield Hovey and Clement were the outstanding players, both of them breaking away for long runs. Hovey was responsible for Pawling’s first twro touchdowns, one of which was the result of a steady march down the field after a Berkshire fumble, and the other the £l)e 1927 JfootbaU Reason result of a beautiful pass. Cle- ment to Hovey, which was com- pleted from the 46-yard line Sib- ley backed up the line in faultless style. On the whole, this, the first real test to which the team was put, showed clearly its possibilities, proved the strong points in Paw- ling’s offense and defense, and gave every indication of an un- usually successful season. The Kent game was undoubt- edly one of the two greatest vic- tories of the year for the team. Throughout the entire first half the prospects looked extremely bad for Pawling, and it was not until the second half that the home team really began to get their plays working well. Kent started off the game with a brilliant aerial attack and immediately took the ball down toward Pawling’s goal. The team fought every inch of the way, but did not seem to be able to break up the Kent passes which were being completed for fairly large gains. How- ever, after getting dangerously far into Pawling’s territory as the result of a fifteen-yard penalty, Kent completed another one of its long passes, Lindsley to Stickney, for the first touchdown of the game, and Ford kicked the point. The first half ended just as Kent was kicking off. From the very start of the second half, however, Pawling showed a marked improve- ment. Immediately upon receiving the ball, the home team commenced a smashing drive for Kent’s goal line. The passes which up till this time had failed, began to be completed successfully, and while Hovey and Clement gained ground on end runs Sibley drove through the line. Finally a long pass, Clement to Caulkins, was completed, placing the ball on the two- yard line, from which it was taken across by Clement on the next play. From this point, the team was never again in danger. Pawling on again receiving the ball, took it down the field and Caulkins, making a beautiful catch of :• long pass from Clement, ran across for the [49] £f)e 1927 JfootbaU Reason home team’s second touchdown. The hall was soon again placed dangerously far within the vis- itor’s territory by a long run by Clement, and Hovey took the ball across for the third touchdown. The final touchdown came in the last forty seconds of play when Caulkitis, leaping into the air, intercepted a long Kent pass and then twisted away from the op- posing backs and ran nearly fifty yards for a touchdown. The Hotchkiss game was a double disappointment after the Kent victory. NQt only was it the first defeat of the year for the team, but it was a defeat that, in spite of the score, might under slightly different circumstances have been so near a tic or a victory that the disappoint- ment was felt especially keenly. However, it cannot be denied that Hotchkiss had an exceptionally well balanced team and by far the strongest one which Pawling encountered during the entire season. From the very outset of the game Pawling did not seem to be able to get in her stride. Heim and Maine repeatedly went through the line and around the ends for substantial gains, and before more than the first five minutes of play had passed. Hotchkiss made her first touchdown. Nevertheless, on receiving the ball, Pawling seemed to Ik getting her offense working smoothly and made two first downs before a costly fumble gave Hotchkiss another touchdown. This did what the first one had been unable to do. It greatly dampened the spirits of the team. However, Pawling rallied and held Hotchkiss fairly even until the last minute of the second quarter when Hotchkiss again scored on a long pass. In the third quarter Hotchkiss made another touchdown, and then one more at the very beginning of the fourth. It was not until the fourth quarter that Pawliitg seemed definitely to get into her stride. Upon receiving the ball, the team took it part way down the field and then kicked to Hotchkiss on the 15-yard line. Hotchkiss was unable to bring the ball back very far, and £fje 1927 Jfoottmll Station upon again receiving it, the team took it down the field in a steady march, placing the hall on the one- yard line, from where it was taken across by Ken Weeman. Then, on the kickoff, the hall rolled across the home team’s goal line after touching one of the players, mak- ing a safety. This was near the end of the quarter and shortly after, the game ended. Considering the whole game, Clement undoubtedly played bet- ter and more consistently than anyone else. For Hotchkiss, Heim and Maine starred. Pawling seemed unable, in the beginning, to stop either one, and they were responsible for the majority of Hotchkiss’s points. The Hackley game was beyond doubt the easiest one for the team of the entire season. For the first two or three minutes of play the Hackley team fought fairly well, but later they seemed to lose heart. Pawling was quite evidently, from the first minute of play, far superior to the opponents. The whole home team played consistently, the outstanding stars being Caulkins and Hovey. The latter scored on two long runs, one of 58 yards and another of 65 yards, while Caulkins intercepted a long pass and ran thirty yards for a touchdown. This game, coming right after the Hotchkiss one, did much to restore confidence to the team, and put it in better shape for the coming encounter with Taft. The Taft game, the most brilliant victory of the year, was a fit conclusion to an unusually successful season. This game was certainly the most closely fought one of the entire football season, as the score indicates. The home team, vhile not definitely outclassing the visitors, had the better of the game all the way through and showed a better developed and more smoothly working eleven. Taft, it is true, displayed a well perfected aerial attack, and it was this which was responsible for the majority of their gains, but their co-operation wras not as efficient as that of Pawling. In the second quarter Taft brought the ball to Pawling’s two-yard line. A touchdown seemed sure, but Pawling held for two downs and then Taft fumbled and Pawling recovered the ball behind her own line. Pawling’s touchdown came as a result of a steady march down the field, and Hovey took the ball across the line. Another touchdown seemed assured in the third quarter when Pawling took the ball to Taft’s one-yard line; but it w'as lost there on a fumble. Then, in the last period Pawling threatened again, but a long pass from Clement to Leftwich was inter- cepted by Thompson. For Pawling, the outstanding individual players were Sibley and Clement. Taft w’as unable to stop them from making substantial gains both through the line and around the ends, and they were responsible for the majority of Pawling’s first downs. However, every man in the line played practically equally well, and each member of the team w?as equally respon- sible for its victory.

Isom Efjtrb beam’s Reason The Third Team, this year, has had an undefeated season. It is to be understood that this team is made up of players who were too light or too inex- perienced for the Varsity squad. Much credit should be given to Mr. Reiter, the Third Team's coach, for developing such a well organized and such a smooth running team from what seemed to be pretty ragged material. Mr. Reiter was ably assisted at times by Mr. Anderson and Ed Bickford who did a great deal to get the line in good shape. The team played six games, one of which was played against the school's second team. In all the games the Thirds came out victorious. For winning all these games, although it has not been the custom to give a Third Team any reward for an undefeated season, Mr. Dear gave a silver football with a proper inscription to every member of the team. Mr. Porter also, very kindly, gave the team silver cups. Without doubt Billy Dear, who played quarterback, on the offense, was the outstanding player in the backfield. He could be counted on for a gain nearly every time he took the ball, which was quite often. On the defense, in the back- field, Captain Jameson was probably the outstanding player. Jameson played right halfback. On the defense he ably played roving center and stopped many plays which were aimed at this position. Lou Morris was, by all means, the outstanding player in the line both on the defense and on the offense. The rest of the team, although they did not shine quite as much as the three fellows already mentioned, worked together well as a unit. Many should prove to be valuable material for the varsity next year. The Thirds started their season on Friday, October the fourteenth with a practice game with the School's second team. Only half a game was played, the score at the end of which was 0-0. Although neither team scored, the Thirds showed their superiority by keeping the ball in the Second's territory most of the time. The first scheduled game of the season was played on October the 24th on the home field against the Kent Third Team. The score at the final whistle was 41-7 in favor of Pawling. Although the whole team played an unusually fine game. Dear was probably the star. He made gain after gain, and accounted for 35 out of the 41 points scored. On Tuesday, October 25th. although they had just played Kent, the Thirds again played the Seconds and beat them by the score of 18-6. This time the whole game was played. Clark and Dear starred. On the following Friday, the Third Team again proved their worth by defeating the town High School by the score of 20-19. Since the game was played [54] fjirb beam’s Reason in summer weather, the team did not show up as well as usual. Clark, Dear, and May played well for the School team. Next, on October 31, the whole squad went over to Canterbury to play that school s second team. The Thirds returned, after having won the game by the imposing score of 54-0. Both teams weighed about the same, but the Pawling team was far more experienced. The game was cleanly played throughout and was more interesting and closer than the score indicates. Dear and Clark played well in the backfield, while MacLiesh played a good game in the line. Ihe 1 birds then played the Worcester team. Again the Thirds came out on top, this time by the score of 57-0. The whole team played well in this game, and it would be hard to pick out a star. However, Dear. Clark, and Isom played their usual good game. It might he said that the field was very slow, so neither team could show any real football. Then came the final and most important game with the Taft Third Team. On Thursday. November 10th, the Pawling Third team ended its undefeated season by defeating its last opponents 13-6 in a well-earned victory. The whole game was played very cleanly, and not to the final whistle was the outcome decided. At quarter time the score stood 0-0. However early in the second quarter the Taft team made its first and only touchdown. Immediately our team tightened up, and after carrying the ball down to Taft’s twenty yard line, the first Pawling touchdown was made by Hoff, who, after catching a beautiful pass from Dear, shook off two tacklers and crossed the line. Dear failed for the point after touchdown. 1 hus the half ended. Neither team scored in the third quarter. Our team started off the last period with a rush. After having pushed Taft back to her own fifteen yard line, Isom breaking through the line, blocked a kick and after picking up the ball, carried it to the one yard line. On the next play he took the ball over for the last touchdown of the game. Dear kicked the point after touchdown. I hus ended the hardest fought game in the Third Team’s schedule. Morris was the star. He was in every play and nearly always got the tackle. Morris had been the outstanding linesman of the team throughout the entire year, but in this game he outdid himself. Here ended the Third Team’s undefeated season. Although there will be many more Third Teams, it is hard to believe that there ever will be such a well organized, such a hard tackling, such a well balanced 1 bird Team again. Aaron (Capt.)

[58] 1928 baseball QTeam Sibley (Capt.), 2b. Sweet, p. Maloney, p. Adikes, p. Weeman, c. Ray, D„ c. Caulkins, lb. Dear, l.f. Posener, 3b. Clement, s.s. Morris, c.f. Wilson, r.f. Hebard, r.f. [60] fje 1928 JHagetmU Reason Since the Scroi.i, must go to press long before the baseball season has ended or even gotten well under way. unfortunately the season will not be able to be reviewed except for the first few games. However, something may be said in regard to these games and the players on the team. Although Mr. Estill was faced by the very difficult problem of forming an entirely new infield, with the exception of Posener. the only regular infielder left from last year's team, there is no doubt that he will prove equal to the task put before him. considering the wealth of material he has to work with. There was some doubt in the beginning of the season as to who the pitchers would be Adikes, Sweet, and Maloney seemed to be the only pitchers, but Caulkins. who regularly played first, could be called on in an emergency. How- ever. after the first few games, it was found that we were not lacking in good pitchers, since all four men proved themselves competent to fill that important position, especially Adikes, who was mostly responsible for the victory over Hotchkiss, allowing that team only four scattered hits. Adikes. besides being a good pitcher, was also a good consistent hitter. K. Weeman fil'ed the catcher's position and, as last year, played it very well. Weeman. although not a spectacular hitter, should hit somewheres in the low 200’s. D. Ray, a veteran of two years, can easily catch in Weeman’s absence. However, it might be said that Ray's batting is rather jx or. lack Caulkins. a player of many years experience, was easily able to take care of first base. He fielded excellently, but his chief fault is that he could not hit consistently. Lou Morris was Caulkins’ understudy and played the posi- tion very well when Caulkins was called on to pitch. The keystone sack was easily kept down by Sibley, a veteran of the 1926 team. Sibley was elected captain of the team when it was found that Linkfield, the captain-elect, would not return to school. Sibley’s strong point was his [61] £fjc 1928 baseball Reason good hitting. Boots also fielded fairly well. Jameson was the second choice for second baseman. Clement, at shortstop, was probably the most valuable man on tbe team. Besides covering his position extremely well, he was probably the most powerful hitter on the team. Dear, another excellent hitter, was the “ second ’’ shortstop. Posener. another member of the 1926 and 1927 teams, occupied third base, and did so with much skill. Although his batting was not so good in the beginning of the season he should lie one of the team's better batsmen. Outfielders should • not only be good fielders, but also verv good hitters. Without doubt Dear, Morris and Hebard fill these requirements. In case any of these men’s services were required in the infield. Adikes. Morse, and Wilson, although not as good hitters as the first three outfielders mentioned, could be called upon to fill any of the outfield positions. The schedule, although not as lone as usual, was comprised of some verv hard games. The first game, as usual, was a practice game against a team made up of men in the Harlem Division of the New York Central Railroad. The team, for the first time in manv vears defeated this aggregation of older men bv the score of 13-0. Sweet pitched this game on a very cold dav. and he did very well. His curves were breaking right and easily fooled the opposing batters. The team got many hits, bunching them to make them count. Clement, Posener. Caulkins and Hebard did most of the hitting, while Clement and Caulkins did the best fielding. The first scheduled game against the Warren Harding High School had to be called off on account of rain. The next game resulted in a defeat for Pawling by the score of 5-2 at the hands of the Erasmus High School of New York. Again Sweet proved himself to be a good pitcher, striking out eight men. while the Erasmus pitcher struck out but three of our men. However, Erasmus bunched their eight hits to make them count, while our team could not make such good use of their eight scattered hits. Pawling made many foolish plavs which can per- haps be laid to the fact that it was Pawling's first real game. Clement and Dear, who played shortstop in this game, were the individual stars in both the field [62] 1928 Jfeeball Reason and at the bat. They both fielded faultlessly and got several hits apiece. It might be added that Caulkins and Weeman did some good fielding, while Hebard at center field got two safe hits in three times at bat. Next, on May 5th. which was Alumni Dav, the team defeated Hotchkiss for the first time since 1924. The score was 5-3, Adikes, hurling for Pawling in the absence of Sweet, pitched faultless ball, allowing the Hotchkiss team but four scattered hits. The team played almost perfect ball, even though two regulars, namely Clement and Sweet, were absent. Adikes never lost his head once, although there were plenty of places where he might have. In the fifth inning, with the bases full and two out. Heim, Hotchkiss’ steadiest and hardest hitter, came to bat. This certainly was a tight place, but Adikes struck Heim out, thus keeping Hotchkiss from scoring when it seemed that they surely would. Dear, substituting at short for Clement, played well, receiving the ball in a play which resulted in the only double play of the game. Morse, playing in left field in Dear’s place, made a beautiful catch with two Hotchkiss men on and with two out. Dear starred at bat. making two hits, one of which was a three bagger. Adikes, besides starring in the box, also made a three base hit. Weeman and Caulkins starred in the field. It might be added here that Hotchkiss, like Pawling had several regulars on the sick list. For Hotchkiss, Heim and Maine were the individual stars. The following Wednesday, the Peekskil! Military Academy was played on the home grounds. The game ended in a 6-4 defeat for Pawling. The game was played on a rather cold and windy day. It was easy to see that the team was not playing the same brilliant ball that they played on the preceding Wednesday. However, it was also evident that Peekskill had a very good team, somewhat better than Hotchkiss’. The game, for the most part, was rather uninteresting, especially in the eyes of the Pawling spectators. Not until the last inning did the game become at all interesting. With the score 6-4 in Peekskill's favor, Pawling got two men on base with no out. However, bv Peekskill’s good playing and by Pawling’s misjudgment, the score was not changed. Sibley, in this game, held up the team’s hitting, while he and Caulkins starred in the field. [63] Cfjc 1928 pasebaU Reason The next Saturday, which was expected to he a weekend, no game had been scheduled. However, the team managed to get another practice game with the Railroad. This time the Railroad men brought up a better team and managed to defeat the team which heat them a week or so ago. The score was 12-9. Everybody batted well, while Clement and Jameson hit homers. Likewise, the fielding honors were even. Caulkins, Clement, and Dear played well as usual. As the Scroll must go to press immediately, it is impossible to review any more games, and all the Scroll can do about the games played later in the season is to predict. The next game with Hotchkiss should prove to be an exciting one, as both teams will probably have all their regulars in the game. This game is to be played at Hotchkiss. This should prove to lie an advantage to the home team. Canterbury should be easy for this year's team, as Canterbury is a rather small school. Milford, always a tough rival, should cause some trouble. However, the game should be close, and it is sincerely hoped that Pawling will win. The final game against Raymond Riordon should prove to be a victory for Pawling, but one can never be sure. The season should turn out successfully, with Pawling winning the majority of its games. However, all the Scroll can do is to pre- dict, and how often can predictions be depended upon?

Not enough thanks can be given him for taking his time to help his old Alma Mater. Naturally Captain Wettlaufer will be the main hope of the team. In the two-twenty, there is no doubt that he will remain undefeated this year. A tendon which he pulled in his leg last fall has been bothering him a good deal lately, and makes the chances of his breaking his own interscholastic record for this distance slight. Although he is not quite so fast in the hundred, still there are few men in the range of prep schools that Pawling meets that will be able to beat him. llis defeat by Barnes of llackley was one of the surprises of the meet, but the latter was forced to do ten flat to win the race. Another surprise of the season was, a week later, when Wettlaufer broke the school record in this distance covering it in ten seconds flat. It is sincerely hoped that his leg will lie in shape by the time the Olympic try-outs come, and that he wins a position on the American Olympic team, something which only one other Pawling man has ever done. Clark, a letter man of last year, and Van Derzee, a new man, comprise the other sprinters. Clark's ankle which he broke in the Taft meet last year has been troubling him and it is not likely that he will run in the earlier meets of the season. Van Derzee shows promise of becoming an excellent sprinter. Gordon Weeman, a letter man of last year, will be expected to uphold the honors in the high jump. In practice and in the first meet he has shown his ability to clear five feet-ten, which should be enough to win most of the meets in which Pawling will compete. In the field events Bogert and Condon, both letter men, will be expected to do the honors. Both men are alx ve the average that is found in prep schools and should win most of their contests. QTfje 1928 Iracfc Reason Laing, who won his letter last year, will do the high hurdles with Lampton again this year. Although Laing hurt his knee in the Hackley meet, it is hoped that he will be able to participate in the Hotchkiss and later meets of the year. In the low-hurdles we have J. Chalmers, another letter man. Beside him there is May, who is showing some very good signs of developing into an excel- lent hurdler. For the Pole-vault, there are Bispham and Chalmers. In the first meet Pawling annexed the first two places in this event. Turner, a new man, will do the half mile with Johnston. The former has been turning in some very good times in practice and only lost his first race by a few feet. Maloney, who is doing the mile with Shipley, has won all his races by fairly big margins and should be able to win most of his meets. The Broad jump is perhaps the weakest event that Pawling has, Crook being the only one who has had any experience at all. Crook is also doing the four-.forty. In one of his races he handed in the time of fifty-three and two-fifths seconds, which should be fast enough to win most of the meets. By beating the Hackley School in the first meet of the season, Pawling accomplished two things: first they avenged last year’s defeat received at the 1 lands of this school; and second, we did something that no other school has done for the last five years, namely to beat Hackley in Track. The score, 59] i to 57 2, shows the closeness of the meet, which was undecided until the last event, the high hurdles. Laing, who had hurt his knee running the low hurdles, and Lampton were the ones on whom the meet depended. They finished first and second. But, because Lampton knocked over five hurdles he was disqualified; so the event went to Laing and the meet to Pawling. The big surprise of the meet was Wettlaufer's defeat at the hands of Barnes in the hundred. Bogert was high scorer for Pawling with ten points, winning the hammer throw and f)e 1928 QTracfe Reason the shot-put. Day, the Hackley star, was the outstanding performer of the meet winning three events. In the second meet of the year the Warren Harding High School of Bridge- port, Pawling won with consummate ease by the score of 77j to 48 . The outstanding event of the meet was Wettlaufer’s breaking of the hundred yard dash record. He lowered to 10 seconds flat A1 Drury's old record of ten and one-fifth seconds, which, although it has been tied many times in the last 28 years, has never been lowered before. He also won the two-twenty yard dash in the time of twenty-two and three-fifths seconds. The outstanding performers of the meet, however, were J. Chalmers and Bogert. The first of these scored thirteen points, while the latter scored twelve. J. Chalmers took first place in both the pole-vault and low-hurdles, two events that he had never done before this year, and took second place in the four-forty. Bogert took first place in the hammer throw, tied for first place in the high jump, an event in which he was entered for the first time, and second place in the shot put. Crook’s time of fifty-three and two-fifths seconds for the four-forty and Maloney’s of four minutes fifty-five seconds for the mile were the other outstanding events of the meet. Besides these two dual meets there have taken place two open meets in which some of the team have participated. The first of these was the Columbia Interscholastics. Pawling did not win a single place in these, due partly to hard luck and because the fellows had not had enough practice to get themselves in really fit condition. Wettlaufer strained his leg after winning his heat with ease and could not run in the finals. In the Princeton Interscholastics Wettlaufer again had hard luck and pulled a tendon while he was far in the lead in the finals, but was not able to finish. In closing another word of thanks should lie given to A1 Drury for the fine work he has done towards developing a team that has very good prospects of being a championship one. $atulmg ®rack Ikecorbs Event Record Holder Year 100-yd.

The team, in spite of its bad start, won eleven out of the twelve remaining games. The individual excellence of the Pawling men, coupled with their tine team work was responsible for the victories. During the first three or four games the men were becoming more accustomed to each other, and soon they represented an aggregation that any quintet would have a hard job beating. It would be hard to gather five better individual stars, and their team work at the end of the year was a wonder to behold. No one man on the team was outstanding, although Stewart and Caulkins were the high scorers. In every game Caulkins could always be found in the midst of the fray, and his dashes for the basket were revelational. He was one of the most accurate passers on the team. Morris, the other forward, was a fine shot around the basket, and could be counted on to do his share of the scoring. At center Stewart was always one of the most imposing men on the floor. He was the only regular of last year's team to play in the first line up this year. He was the high scorer on the team, anil a finer jumper would be difficult to find. Rheem and Clement as guards presented a combination that proved almost impregnable. There were very few men that could get past them for a shot. Clement also was a main factor in the offense, while Rheem was an exceptionally good shot. Each of the first three games was lost by close scores, a margin of three points deciding two of them. Of these, the Milford and the Raymond Riordan were the most important. In the Milford game, the visitors held the lead throughout, and won 36-29, although the home team made a brave bid in the last quarter. The Raymond Riordan game was without a doubt the most inter- esting game of the year. Leading 10-2 at the end of the first quarter, the Pawling men went into a slump, and the visiting team led 21-20 at half time. Pawling came back in the third quarter, and due to some fine work on the part of Stewart, led 30-29 at the end of the third quarter. Raymond Riordan pulled up, and as the score was deadlocked at the end of the game, an extra period was played. The score still remained even, and in the second period the visitors quickly forged ahead, and won 46-43. If it had not been for the work of Wilson, who scored 28 points, the outcome would have been more doubtful. After these defeats, Pawling defeated by large scores Trinity School, Mill- brook High School, St. Stephen's Junior Varsity, Canterbury, Carmel Hall, and in a return game defeated Raymond Riordan. This game was a clean cut victorv for Pawling, and was rendered doubly satisfactory on account of the defeat suf- fered at their hands earlier in the season. Stewart and Caulkins scored most of Pawling s 31 points, while Wilson was responsible for 15 of the opponent's. Pasfeetball ftcUieto From this point on, with the exception of the Peekskill Military Academy game, the Pawling team represented a well regulated machine. Their team work, and precision were little short of wonderful. Next came a victory by the score of 50-20 over Poly Prep, who had beaten the home team by one |«iint the year before. This game like many others was uninteresting localise of its one-sidedness. The final setback of the year was experienced when the team met defeat at the hands of the Peekskill Military Academy team. Although they led by ten points at the end of the first quarter, the Pawling men were so restrained by personal fouls called against them that they were unable to cope with the attack of Peekskill. The final score of this disappointing game was 47-26. The next game was with Hackley, and resulted in a 52-14 victory for Paw- ling. In the next game likewise Pawling ran riot over her opponents. This time the victim was Danbury High School, and the final score was 87-26. This game was too one-sided to he of much interest, although some doubt was expressed as to the ability of the home team to reach the century mark. The game with Fort Washington was much like these two. at least in respect to the score. Each team scored easily, and for a while it looked as if the Long Island team had a chance. However, in the last period Morris dropped eight baskets, and staved off a rally on the part of the opponents. The final score was 72-47. The Pawling team ended the year by defeating the Savage Normal Freshmen 50-16. In the first half, the game was much closer than the score indicates, but later on the Savage men seemed to lose heart, and allowed the Pawling meet to score almost at ease. There is no question but that a team that can, after a bad start, win eleven out of twelve games is an exceptional one, and there can he no doubt but that the team of 1028 was one of the most successful ones Pawling has ever had.

Five letter men, namely, Capt. Lampton, K. VVeeman, Crook, Mead, and May, from last year's scholastic cham- pionship team, should have formed a good foundation for a good team, but things turned out differently than were expected. The team won only one out of five meets. This may he laid to the fact that they swam against some very powerful teams. Mead, K. Weeman, Capt. Lampton, and Crook were the high scorers. The first meet, held against the Peekskill Military Academy at Peekskill on January 21, resulted in the score of 26-36 in favor of the cadets. If it had not been, however, for several unfortunate accidents, the score might have been somewhat closer. Although Lampton got off to a poor start in the 40-vd. free style, he easily won his event. The relay team also won with ease. However, in all the other events Peekskill came first. W'etherell starred for Peekskill, not only winning the 100 and 220 yd. free style events, hut also clipping 7 seconds off his school’s record for the 220. On January 28. the team lost its next meet to Hotchkiss by the score of 23-37. The meet was swum at Hotchkiss. For the first time in two years, Lampton and the relay team lost their races. K. Weeman got first in the back stroke, while Crook placed first in the dives. Mead got second in each of his events. Next, on February 11, the team met the Army Plebes. The meet which was held at West Point, resulted 43-19 in favor of the Collegians. Mead was the only Pawling man to get a first place. The Pawling men, however, did well in view of the fact that the Army Yearlings have an excellent team. It is interesting to note that in the lOCLand in the relay the Plebes tied their pool’s records. The following Saturday, the team heat the Warren Harding High School of Bridgeport, Conn., by the score of 49-11. This was the only meet which was held in the Pawling pool this year. Pawling took first place in every event and took second in all but two. Mead starred with two first places. On the 25th of February, part of the team went down to the Columbia Interscholastics. Too much credit can not be given to Ken Weeman for getting second place in the dives. No other Pawling man placed, although Crook came out seventh in the dives. The last meet of the year was swum against Canterbury. The final result of the meet, which was held at Canterbury, was 40-20 in favor of that team. K. Weeman starred with a first in the dives, while Mead got second in both his events. Capt. Lampton, who was easily the fastest man in the 40 yd. free style, was handicapped by a very poor start.

G oal Goal THE 192,8 SCROLL (je 1928 J ockep Reason The success of the 1928 Hf ckey Season was especially curious in that when at the beginning of the Winter Term, an estimate was made of the Winter Sports, Hockey was ranked as being by far the most dubious. This underestimation was due, of course, to the fact that the material among the new boys was not taken into account and also to the fact that the great improvement among last year's squad was not realized. The team proper may be said to have consisted of Wettlaufer, Hovey, Thomp- son, Dear, Ray, Wilson, Paddock and Hoff. Of these Capt. Wettlaufer, Hovey, and Thompson were probably the outstanding stars. However, the whole team played excellently throughout the entire season, and it is only fair to give them full credit. The first game, with Kent, was probably the outstanding victory of the season, and it was, besides, a victory well earned. Kent has always been one of Pawling’s greatest rivals on the ice. In the first period. Pawling showed lack of practice and failed to get her offense working smoothly. Her defense too was working rather raggedly, and it was only by some excellent stops of Ray that Kent was prevented from scoring several times. Pawling started the second period off with a rush, and after nearly scoring on a long shot. Dear sent the puck cleanly into the cage for the only score of the game. In the third period, Kent tried doubly hard to score and was only prevented from doing so by the excellent defense work of Capt. Wettlaufer and Wilson and some unusual stops by Ray at goal. The next game was with South Kent, and though both teams were handi- capped by poor ice. Pawling finally won by a lone score which was made by Capt. Wettlaufer. South Kent showed better teamwork and were faster on their feet than Pawling but were unequal to the latter in the close scrimmages. Pawling’s score was made in the final period on a pass from Paddock to Wett- laufer who caged the puck from a difficult angle. A few days later, Pawling continued its winning streak by defeating the Mahopac hockey team by the score of 4-1. The Mahopac team was evidently more experienced, but could not seem to cope with the fast attack of the Pawling men. The outstanding players for Pawling were Thompson, Hovey and Ray. Both Thompson and Hovey played excellently, while Ray made some unusual stops at goal. The next game was with the alumni and Pawling again came out the victors by the score of 3-1. It was an interesting game to watch in that it showed the Efje 1928 jockey Reason advantage of a smooth running, successfully coo] erating team over one composed of individual stars. Of these individual stars, perhaps the most noteworthy was Johnny Jones who plays on the Princeton Varsity. Wettlaufer, Hovey, and Dear starred for the school. The first defeat of the entire season was encountered at the hands of Hotch- kiss on the home rink. The game was clean and well fought, being marred by only one penalty. Both teams seemed fairly evenly matched, but it was undoubt- edly Hotchkiss’s superior defense work that gave it its advantage. The ice and weather were in excellent shape for the game. Pawling followed this defeat with another victory by again defeating the South Kent by the score of 4-3. Hovey and Ray were the outstanding players. The former made three of Pawling’s four goals while the latter, by his excellent playing at goal, prevented the Kent aggregation from scoring. Following this game by but a few days, came another victory, this time over the Poughkeepsie A. C. The game was made rather slow by many substitu- tions and bad ice. As the score of 4-2 indicates. Pawling had somewhat the better of the game throughout, but nevertheless Poughkeepsie put up a hard fight. Pawling lost its return game with Hotchkiss on the Hotchkiss rink by the score of 3-0. Pawling had little chance to show its teamwork as the ice was so soft and covered with water, that carrying the puck was nearly an impossi- bility. Both teams contented themselves chiefly by taking long shots from the middle or end of the rink. Hotchkiss scored a goal at the beginning of each period, but at the last part of the second and third Pawling battled on fairly even terms. Paddock played well at defense for Pawling and Thompson played a good game at center. The return game with Poughkeepsie showed a visible improvement in the playing of the visitors, but this improvement was not great enough to offset the superior passing and teamwork of Pawling. Nevertheless, Poughkeepsie’s defense was working far better than in the previous game, and, as the score of 2-1 indicates, the game was fast and exciting throughout. The final game of the season, following that with Poughkeepsie by only one day, was with Mahopac. Mahopac had made visible improvement both in their passing and teamwork and were obviously more experienced than the home team. Nevertheless, Pawling put up an excellent fight and the game was far closer than the score might indicate. Ray, at goal, played an excellent game and it was due in a large part to some of his seemingly impossible stops that the score was kept as low as it was.

I 881 THE 192,8 SCROLL GTfje 1928 Soccer Reason Last Fall for those who did not play football, Soccer was started under the direction of Mr. Hatton. While the team did not win all its games or even a majority of them, they showed great spirit and an eager response to the new sport. The first game, which was played with the undefeated Warren Harding High School of Bridgeport, was an exceedingly hard game for the first one. Pawling was rather badly beaten by the score of 6-1. Yet Pawling played an extremely line game considering the handicaps which they were under. '1 heir spirit was excellent, and they would not admit defeat till the final whistle blew. Pawling’s only goal was scored late in the final period by Sweet. In this game Riley was the outstanding star. In the second game, which was played with the Congress High School of Bridgeport, the Pawling team came out on top by the score of 2-1. Their play was much smoother, and they showed a great deal more teamwork than in the previous game. Crook scored Pawling's first goal after a scrimmage in front of the goal. In the beginning of the second half Congress scored her lone goal tying the score. After this Pawling fought even harder, and with but a few minutes to play Wyder scored the winning goal on a pass from Morse. The honors for the outstanding player of this game went to McLain at goal guard. Pie showed excellent skill in stopping goals, and once very daringly dived in amongst the flying feet of the opponents to recover the ball and save the goal. The fact that he allowed only one goal to pass him speaks for itself. The last game which was played with the Hackley School at Tarrytown resulted in a defeat for the Pawling players when they lost 2-0. The fast attack of the Hackley team in the first few minutes of the game rushed Pawling off their feet, and before Pawling could settle down Hackley had scored two goals. Due to the fine work of the Hackley goal guard, Pawling was unable to score. Riley, Captain Morse and McLain were the outstanding performers through- out the whole season, and it is mainly through their fine spirit and willingness to help that Soccer has firmly established itself as one of the minor sports at Pawling.

Since Mr. Watkins’ taking over the tutelage not only of the Glee Club, but also of all the musical interests of the School, an increased interest has been shown by all. Because of this increased interest. Music, and especially the Glee Club, has risen in the esteem of all, so that now to be on the Glee Club is nearly as great an honor fts being on a team, and is certainly equal to being on one of the school publications and other minor activities. In his first year here Mr. Watkins did not think the Glee Club, that he had started that year, sufficiently experienced to participate in the Inter-Preparatory School Glee Club Concert. But last year it was decided late in the fall to enter the contest. Although this did not leave much time for practice, nevertheless, Mr. Watkins succeeded in picking a group of eighteen fellows who he thought were worthy of representing the school in this concert. When the results of the contest were heard, Pawling was not first, nor even second, but finished sixth in a contest in which ten schools took part, schools that were larger than Pawling and that were not competing for the first time. This certainly was a creditable showing and one worthy of much praise. This year with a year’s experience behind him Mr. Watkins set out to make a Glee Club that would do better than take a sixth place. In answer to his call for candidates some sixty- five fellows came out. Of these he took on about forty. With this group he started practice early in the fall. For the most part just four songs were practiced. The choice song and the three prize songs. On these songs trials were held throughout the fall to weed out those who could not possibly be used, so that by the time the Christmas vacation had arrived only about thirty fellows still remained in the Glee Club. Although those who were dropped did not go to New York, still they must not be forgotten when the congratulations are handed around, for they were a part of the Club and helped in the founding of it. Going down to New York on February 4. the Glee Club took part in the contest. In it their singing was far above the average, and their behaviour was most excellent; they succeeded in taking second place out of twelve schools. Deerfield was the winner. This was one of the most noteworthy events that have happened since the school was started. Every man on the club is to be congratulated for the fine work and the fine spirit with which he has done his work. But above all special praise should go to Mr. Watkins for his untiring efforts. It is mainly through him the Pawling School Glee Club has become what it is. The Inter-scholastic contest, however, did not end the year for the Glee Club, for' they held a concert at the Mid-year Prom, and they are to hold another at the Commencement Prom. The latter takes place after the Scroll goes to press, so that no details may be recounted of it. hut in view of the other concert that has been held this year no doubt it will be a huge success. At Mid-years they sang in conjunction with Mr. Haupt, who acted as soloist for the evening. All the audience seemed to enjoy the numbers; so it may be taken that the concert was a huge success. After this concert the Glee Club was given a month's rest without rehearsals, before beginning practice for the coming concert at Commencement. No rest was ever more deserved than this. Next year with only seven men of this year’s Club lost by graduation. Mr. Watkins will no doubt be able to build up a club that may even be better than the present one. It will be a very difficult job. [97] (Emtnrcas OFFICERS Fall Term Robert W. Ryckman James G. Ciiai.mers . Shirley Taylor . President Clerk Sergeant-at-Arms Winter Term John Rickey .

In fact, it was a continuation of a similar institution conducted for years in the school of which Doctor Gamage was head master, before the founding of Pawling. It was instituted bv the Doctor himself, and conducted hv him per- sonally until the pressure of executive duties compelled him to hand over the direction to someone else. It was a popular tradition among the boys who fol- lowed the Doctor to the new school and who constituted so large a proportion of the initial membership, so that it was only natural that there should be a School Congress in the new school. The object of the Congress is to familiarize the boys with the laws and usages governing deliberative bodies, to develop rapid thinking and ready speak- ing. and to acquaint the members with the vital issues of the day. In the begin- ning there were two bodies, the Senate, composed of all members of the Sixth Form, and the House, composed of members of the Fifth Form. Weekly meet- ings were held, at which the members held debates, more or less informal, and indulged in parliamentary practice, under the direction of a faculty advisor. At the end of the year came the Congress Debate, between teams chosen to repre- sent the two bodies. The successful debaters received gold medals. In addition, there was a special prize of twenty-five dollars, annually offered by Mr. R. Oakley Kennedy, a former pupil of Doctor Gamage, which was awarded for the best prepared and delivered speech. Three years ago. owing to the increased scholastic demands upon members of the upper forms, a change was made in the membership of the organization. A reorganization was effected, changing the number of bodies from two to one. and the membership from all members of the Sixth and Fifth Forms to such members of these two forms as were able to give the time necessary without interfering with the time needed for their regular studies. The newly formed Congress was divided into two sides, for the sake of competition, such as resulted from the class distinction in the original organization. I-ast year the annual debate was held on the evening of May 28. The subject for discussion was. “ Resolved, that the course of the Administration in regard to Nicaraugua is to be commended.” The speakers for the affirmative were Washburn and Dickerson, with R. W. Ryckman as alternate: those on the nega- tive side were G. J. Evans and Abercrombie, with Crook as alternate. The decision was in favor of the negative, and the Kennedv prize was awarded to Evans. Ibis year the debate was scheduled for April 21. hut had to he postponed by reason of illness in the school until May 12. The question was. “ Resolved, that the United States should enter the League of Nations.” The affirmative team was composed of Abercrombie and Rickev, with Siblev as alternate. The negative team was made up of Condon and R. W. Ryckman. with Rheem as alternate. All of these men are of the Sixth Form. 1 he decision this vear was in favor of the negative, the judges voting two to one in their favor. The Kennedy prize went to Rickey. All who had the good fortune to attend the debate said that it was by far the best school-boy oratorical contest they had ever heard and were loud in their praise of both teams. Rickey was by all odds the best orator, while Ryckman, with his incisive arguments, presented the really deciding speech of the evening. Condon’s humor and apt phrases were appreciated and applauded by all. The entire occasion went to prove that Pawling hoys do well the thing undertaken. THE BOARD Robert W.

Crook [104; Efje $i)oentx The past year of the Phoenix’s history has without doubt been a signal one both because of the high standard of the literary work and because of the obvious heightening of interest among both students and alumni in this important period- ical. Besides this, a new and praiseworthy idea has been thought of, and its practice instituted by Mr. Hill and Archibald F. McLeisch. This new departure is a change in the Phoenix’s cover and the intention to make this cover a standard one to be used in all future issues. Larger type is also to be used in the future as this insures easier reading and a better looking page than did the old, rather cramped type. The Alumni, in the person of Mr. Bonner and Mr. Smyth, contributed sev- eral very valuable articles during the year, Mr. Bonner pointing out several truths about Katherine Mayo’s book. “ Mother India, and Mr. Smyth contributing two very humorous short stories. Among the members of the student body A. F. McLeish, the Editor-in-Chief, has certainly done more than any other one person to advance the literary standard of the Phoenix, for besides publishing eight stories and four poems in the first two issues of the past year, everyone of his stories have been interestingly orig- inal and excellently written. “A Tale of a Millstone,” “ Beasts ” and “ Dread ’’ were the best of his more serious stories, to our mind, while “ How to Open a Pullman Window ” and “ The Boggle Plamond ” appeal to us most as humorous stories. There can be no doubt that the Phoenix owes much of its success to its able and ambitious editor-in-chief. Second in activity only to the editor is William H. Bispham, whose stories, “ Putt’s Monument.” “ The Seajay.” “ Revenge,” “ When the Earth Shook ” and “Checy’s Ghost,” have received a great deal of well-merited praise. A very capable critic in the Faculty has been heard to say that “ Putt’s Monument ” is the best short story written by a prep school boy that he had ever read. Justin A. Stanley, T. B. Rutherford and F. S. Pearson also did work out- standing in quality if not in quantity, while all other contributors did much to keep up the high standard of literary excellence. When one arrives at the point of making a prediction as to the success of the next year's Phoenixes, it will be seen that all things tend to promise an even more outstanding year than the past one, if such a thing is possible, for only one contributor of the past year, Morgan L. Crook, will not l e back next year, and there will undoubtedly be some new contributors to swell the number of those already experienced in the art of writing. In view of all the facts, therefore, it is possible to compliment those who have written for this publication, for they have done wonderful work, and it is also possible to look forward to another year of unparalleled success for the Phoenix.

CURTAIN [112] (Pur ittinbs are Jniprobeb on ££ aturbap J tgfjts At the sound of the ever impatient bell, we tear ourselves away from our interesting diversions and make a dash for the auditorium. After finally obtain- ing a seat, we notice Mr. Henderson walking down the aisle, followed by a dis- tinguished-looking stranger. When they finally have reached the front of the room, the stranger, who we have decided is the lecturer, stands off to one side trying to look entirely at his ease, while Mr. Henderson discloses to us the identity of the new-comer. We learn that this old friend of Mr. Henderson’s is also a very ardent admirer of Pawling who, although he is just now very busy giving a series of lectures throughout America, has kindly consented to talk to us for a few hours this evening. In addition to this, it seems that Mr. B--, for that turns out to be the lecturer’s name, is well qualified to talk on his subject, Europe, having spent his whole life there up to three months ago when he came to New York. After informing us of these facts ( ?) Mr. Henderson sits down with a grin of satisfaction on his face, and Mr. B---steps forward. Mr. B-----’s pronunciation is really quite good “ conceedring th' shurt time hee hes beeen en des coontree,” and we learn that Mr. Henderson was quite right as he is a great admirer of the “ Paulding School.” However, there seems to be a little mix up for Mr. B----- is going to speak on Mongolia or Montana. He isn’t sure which. Soon Mr. B--------- gets stuck on a hard word like “ pro- crast----” (oh well, we don't know how to spell it ourselves), and he asks that the lights be put out and his pictures and maps shown on the screen. He seems quite adept in running and pointing to places on these maps which really are quite attractively painted in various blazing colors. About five minutes later, however, we are all awakened by the lights going on again. It seems that the film has broken, as usual. During the interruption Mr. B---- entertains with some foreign jokes the few who have not gone back to sleep. Soon the film is mended, and everything is quiet except for a few scat- tered remarks of the lecturer which are not loud enough to disturb anyone. When an hour or so of this has been gone through, Mr. B-----------, to the surprise of everyone, suddenly finishes. Everybody immediately claps, even though some are a bit red-eyed and sleepy looking. When the applause is alxmt half over, Mr. Henderson dashes forward and rescues his old friend, leading him from the room. Keyed up by the mental stimulus just absorbed, we all return to finish that rubber of bridge. Mentor Personalities FUSSER SUPREME 1st Rickey, 2nd R.

[117] Clashes 3 ftabe ttenbeb HISTORY Mr. Bonner, striding into the room—“ Well, let’s see. we had the second chapter on Egypt today, didn’t we? Andy, who was this famous queen, who ruled Egypt around 35 B. C.? Andy : “ The Queen of Sheba.’’ •• Who do you think it was. Sibley? That’s right. Cleopatra, the dame who changed the history cf the world. And boy, wasn’t she a sweet vamp! It’s certainly true that if her nose had been one inch longer, the history of the world would have been much different.” He kneels on the front seat and crosses his legs— Which reminds me, does anyone happen to know that it is the duty of every Eskimo to kill his father when the old man is no longer of any use to the tribe? Yes, the Esquimaux are an interesting people; however, we don’t consider them in history, for they have no system of writing. I suppose that's because they have nothing to write about except the weather and that is so continually cold that there isn’t much of interest to be said on the subject.” At tlrs point Mr. Bonner decides that tne class room is getting too stuffy; so the whole class is transferred outside. When everyone is gathered around the sundial, the lessons are resumed. “Now to get back to Egypt, where is this land of the lotus-blossom, Sibley?” “ Along the Nile River, sir.” “ Well, I meant the latitude. But does anyone happen to know why degrees of Latitude go up and down the earth’s surface instead of across it laterally? The reason is that the early navigators who invented Latitude and Longitude considered only the Mediterranean; so they made latitude the distance across and longitude the long way of this sea. And does anyone know why a degree of longitude gets smaller as it approaches the North Pole? No! It doesn’t contract with the cold, Andy. The reason is that,”—etc., etc., etc., for about ten minutes. “ Well, as I was saying, in Egypt was the dawn of history. There are found the pyramids and the tombs of ancient kings. 1 guess that is about all there is to Egypt, and as there is only about ten minutes left before the bell, you can all be excused. We will have Greece for tomorrow. I want this class to Ik as little like school as possible, but I don’t want to let the other masters in on it.” FRENCH Mr. Benham strides into the room saying, Come, come now, we have only eight more weeks, and we must not waste a minute. I have here a very interesting article I just saw in the ‘Atlantic Monthly.’ (He reads) ‘You don’t believe in ghosts? Why, they are the most realest things ebber—and one night while I was sittin along oh de fire a eatten ob a poke ob goobers—’ (interrupting)—Now', just what are goobers?” No one seems to know, but Mr. Benham continues to read for about ten minutes longer, finally stopping right in the middle of the story, saying he had read to us just to see whether we knew what “ goobers ” were. After this interesting introduction, Mr. Benham decides we must get down to business; so he calls on Stewart for the first paragraph of the day’s reading assignment. However, as he fishes in his pocket for a piece of paper to place the marks on, a pink letter falls out. Mr. Benham quickly picks it up, hut not quick enough, for all have seen it. Immediately loud questions are heard from all corners of the room, and Mr. Benham turns a shade pinker than his letter. “Stewart, he says, leave the class! Go on! I simply will not stand for all this noise. Well, if you think you can act like a gentleman for the rest of the period you may stay. Go on and read.” Stewart reads. 118 | Classes “ All right; Ryckman next.” Kyckman reads. u Very good, a perfect translation. Protests arise. Mr. Benhain gets red again. “ Ryckman, you get out. I won't have this informality. Go on! No, you had better stay, you need the work.” After this Mr. Benliam begins to hand out yesterday’s test papers. “ Here, MacLiesh, exactly a zero for you. MacLiesh—“ But how is that, sir? I had two sentences out of five perfect. While MacLiesh is being subdued, Bickford get his paper. Here there seemed to be some question as to the ethics of deducting twenty points for missing a question mark. Just then the last bell rings, and Mr. Benham rushes over to the board, and writes down a short test of ten sentences, which the class writes out with many protests, while Mr. Hill waits patiently with his class in the doorway. PHYSICS Mr. Reiter walks into class and immediately commences. “Well, let’s see, we had the problems on page 495 for today, didn’t we? Bickford, in what direction must a fish look to see the setting sun ?” “ Sir ? Oh. Why, it’s toward the west, isn’t it ?” No, no. Have you ever heard of the critical angle? Well, it’s about time you did. The critical angle is the angle in the denser medium which must be exceeded if the ray is to get out. Right?” Bickford—“ Yes, sir.” Mr. Bickford—“ No, no. The angle must not be exceeded. The angle is equal to 59°. Right?” Bickford—“ Yes, sir.” Mr. Reiter—“ No, no. It’s 49°. That makes the index of refraction equal to the speed of light in air divided by the speed in the other substance. Right? Bickford—“ No, sir. The index—” Mr. Reiter— Well, that one was right. Come on, now. Mead, you do the next problem. How does atmospheric refraction increase the length of daylight? Mead— Mr. Reiter, I don’t think it does. You see, if the day kept on getting longer soon there wouldn’t lx any night at all, and I don’t see how that could be. The book must be wrong.” Mr. Reiter—“ No, Mezz, you see it’s this way. The day doesn’t get longer. It merely is longer than it would have been if there was no atmospheric refraction. Mead— But the problem says the length of daylight is increased. That must mean that the day gets longer. The book must be wrong. Mr. Reiter goes to the board, and after having satisfactorily chewed the chalk, attempts to illustrate the problem. Mezz is not convinced, so he proceeds to the board and seeks to prove his points. He tries to erase the figures chalked down by Mr. Reiter, and failing to do this he moves to the side board. In this manner the instruction of the Physics Class continues until the last bell when the period is up, and only two problems have been done which were entirely understood by all but one. The remainder of the class is happy, however, for has not daylight been increased in one mind at least? f 119] 3 ftalte HBtenbeb Yes, 1 think I’ll give you a 65 for that.” IBreafcfast A Tragedy in One Act Time: Any Morning Place: Dining Room Dramatis Personae: The Mob (the rout and rabble) The filite (Prefects) Knights of The Right (Masters) (A bell rings shrilly. There follows a terrific crash offstage succeeded by thundering, wild cries, shrieks, yells, moanings, whimperings and the noise of splintering wood.) Enter The Mob, wild-eyed, panting, clutching pants and buttoning shirts. Bell rings again. All bow heads. Knight at doorway: Ah, ah, ah! A good haul this morning! Let's see, one—two—three—four—five. (Writes on piece of paper as three or four forms slink furtively past him.) Knight (e. g., Mr. Anderson): Please pass the butter, Ken, “Ex quo efficitur ut voluptas non sit summum bonum,” you know. (One of the mob, Cox, nods speculatively and says something to the effect that his uncle was think- ing of getting one, too, but decided to wait until next spring.) Voice: Ooooh, looky, Mr. Benham, your shirt’s unbuttoned! Mr. Benham: Humph! So 'tis (blushes furiously as he corrects the fault). Mob cheers: Yea, Benny! (Knight, that goodly knight Sir Bonner, claps vigorously from across the room.) Mr. Smythe enters the room swiftly: Good morning, little ones, good morn- ing. (“Little Ones” glower.) Another knight, Mr. Gamage, bears down upon a group of the mob who have left off to behave themselves indecorously: Come on, fellow,s why can’t you behave yourselves? What’s wrong anyway? You can all take 60 minutes. Mob: Aw, please, Mr. Gamage! (Knight shows signs of weakening at their pleas, but turns resolutely away.) Silence, except for sounds similar to rain water gurgling down a drain pipe. A few “ felite ” saunter in and gaze disdainfully around. Bursts of laughter from across the room— That wight Sir Drury: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! That's a good one. Say, did you hear the one about the three sailors? (More roars of laughter.) Some of The Mob begin to straggle out; and Kelly appears with the break- fasts for Mr. Smoyer’s and Mr. Smythe’s tables. Mr. Smoyer: You're early this morning, Kelly. It's only twenty of eight. Kelly : Yes suh. Gotta good staht. Ah stahted upstairs about five minutes after you all come in. Mr. Smoyer: Well, it was indeed an unexpected pleasure. Hmmmm! What’s this? Bacon? Excuse me please. (Leaves.) Mr. Smythe: Hey, Kelly! When do we eat? (Kelly picks up the plate of bacon, and carries it over to Mr. Smythe’s table.) A few more of the felite saunter in. All of The Mob and Knights depart. Anewalt comes in. Abercrombie (to waiter): Oh, there, just a minute. You might hand me Aaron's rhubarb which he hasn't finished, and just scrape the rest of the scrambled egg olf Smith’s plate and hand it here, will you please. And, oh yes, I’ll have some more cereal and one or two buns. (Sighs happily.) (Bell rings loudly again. More stampeding.) Frantic voice offstage: Hey, Charlie, hurry up. We’re Acolyting!
