Deer- field, N. Y. M. A., Salisbury, and Hackley bowed to the gridsters, while a powerful Westminster eleven scored the only defeat of the year in the last game. Outplaying Hotchkiss, the Red and Black were unable to tally but held the visitors to a scoreless tie. The team scored 108 points to its opponents’ 23. Passes ac- counted for the majority of the touchdowns with Mattlage aptly filling the passing position and Moore on the receiving end. Having only seven days practice, the team opened its schedule by defeating a heavy Deerfield eleven 7-2. The contest was played on an extremely muddy field, and neither team was able to give its best showing. Pawling scored in the fourth quarter on a pass. Deerfield obtained its two points on an intentional safety in order to safeguard Pawling’s lead. The Red and Black eleven defeated the N. Y. M. A. team on its home gridiron by the score 18-0 in the second encounter of the season. Passes scored two of the three touchdowns, but the team was unable to tally the extra points. Pawling had total possession of the ball in the first quarter, and in the second half a kicking duel ensued with the home team finally scoring. In the next game Pawling swept to a 37-0 victory over Salisbury. Although the Salisbury men were game fighters they were in no way a match for Pawling. Twenty-five points were scored in the first half, and the second team played the greater part of the last half. Undoubtedly the team played its best game of the year against Hotchkiss. Avenging the previous year’s overwhelming defeat, the gridmen outplayed their opponents throughout the game but neither team was able to score. Hotchkiss staved off two serious scoring threats, ending one on the one-yard stripe and the other on the twenty-yard marker. Displaying a powerful offense, the Red and Black continued its undefeated season by routing the Hackley eleven 40-0 the next Saturday. The home team made six touchdowns, one in each of the first three periods and three in the final quarter. 44 The SCROLL A rejuvenated Westminster team, having previously lost two games scored the tallied its only touchdown on a pass in the first three minutes of play. The Red and Black was on the defense in the most part of the second half, while Westminster’s powerful backs advanced the ball. In addition to the consistently outstanding play of Mattlage and Moore throughout the season, special mention is due to Tony Calderone for his note- worthy courage and determination against heavier opponents, to Henry Chalmers for his sterling line-plav, and to Nosworthy and McConnochie for their versatility in substituting in the line and back-field respectively. Gordon Chase and Chalmers, the only two letter-men returning, should be a great help to the coaches next year. first defeat of the year to a fighting Pawling eleven by the score 21-6.

Manager 49 The SCROLL Baseball Bctricto 'TB'N 1935 the baseball team enjoyed the most successful season in several years. H h not only won six out of the eight games played, but also emerged victorious in its annual home game with Hotchkiss. Captain Turner alternated between center field and second base, fielding ex- cellently in both positions. Mattlage held down the left field post, and Ferguson and Webb, both 1934 letter-men divided the other garden assignment. Heyniger, the fourth member of last year’s team remaining performed at first base. When Turner was not playing second base, Landon shifted to this spot from third base. Moore handled the shortstop post the entire season, and also led the team in batting with an average of over .500. At the far corner was stationed Sides, who, after the first few games, played there regularly. He was also a leading man on the offence, finishing with an even .500 percentage in his work at the plate and drawing eleven passes altogether. The battery was composed of Chase and Gagnon, with Sutphin pitching two of the games. Chase was outstanding on the mound, allowing very few hits and striking out an average of seven a game. His battery mate, Gagnon, was the best catcher the school has had in quite a few years. He handled the pitchers with great skill and had much to do with the liveliness and fighting spirit that was so out- standing in the team. Coach Clement deserves great praise in developing such an excellent team out of a very limited amount of material, which included only four letter-men. The season opened at Riverdale and resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Red and Black, the final score being 16-1. Chase allowed only six scattered hits, struck out twelve enemy batsmen, and gave just one base on balls during the entire seven innings. Moore was the leading figure in the visitors attack, collecting three hits, one of which was a long home run. In the second game Pawling was again victorious, defeating Canterbury 6-4, at New Milford, Conn. Sutphin pitched until the last inning, when Chase relieved him. He gave up few hits, but had rather faulty support. Moore once more led the visitors in hitting, driving out three singles for a perfect day at bat. 50 I he Red and Black nine suffered its first defeat when it traveled to Lakeville to play the first of two games scheduled with Hotchkiss. The Blue came from be- hind to win in the eighth inning after a thrilling duel between the two moundsmen, Chase and Hoover. I he Hotchkiss pitcher, although he weakened temporarily in the third, when he permitted four runs, allowed only four hits and fanned fifteen. Flaying its first home game of the season, the Red and Black regained its winning form, beating New York Military Academy 4-2 in a six inning contest. I he second game at home also resulted in a victory, Hackley being overcome 4-3. Moore and Sides each collected two hits, one of Sides’ being a three bagger. Pawling won her third straight game and also the most important engagement of the baseball season, when she defeated Hotchkiss in a return game played on the Ulrich field. Mattlage, after tripling, scored the winning run on a perfect bunt by Landon. Day and Chase were the opposing moundsmen. I he Pawling nine suffered its first setback in four games when South Kent, on her own diamond, came from behind to win an extra inning game, 5-4. Chase started in the box for the visitors, but was hurt in the sixth inning and had to be replaced by Sutphin. I'he last game of the season resulted in a victory for the Red and Black. Storm King went down before a crushing attack, 12-6. Moore and Gagnon collected three hits apiece, the Pawling shortstop hitting one home run. Mattlage also hit for the circuit. Sutphin pitched very well for Pawling and most of the runs scored from him were unearned. 51 The SCROLL Third Baseball Team Letter Men Numerals Raymond M. Crossman (Captain) Stuart B.

Inexperienced, the team faced the Hotchkiss track team on a rain soaked track at Pawling. Despite the fact that the Red and Black took seven firsts out of fourteen events, Hotchkiss captured the meet 71-56. Ferguson and Crossman made thirteen points. In the discus Captain Ferguson broke the school record. In addition, he took second in the high jump and high hurdles, and also tied for second in the broad jump. Crossman won the 220 and 440 and took a second in the 100- yard dash. With a distance of 137 feet, Ahlstrom won the hammer. Morgan took first in the broad jump and W. Moore won the shot put. Second places were cap- tured by Turner in the mile, by McConnochie in the low hurdles and broad jump, and by Chalmers in the half mile. Thirds were taken by Hastings in the mile, by T. Moore in the pole vault, by J. Gorman in the 100-yard dash, and by Heyniger in the shot put. With the experience of the Hotchkiss meet behind them, the trackmen went out and captured an easy victory from a comparatively weak Hackley team by a 67-30 score. Ferguson led the scorers by winning the discus and high jump, and by obtaining a third in the 220. Crossman came next with thirteen points. He won the 220 and 440, and also obtained a second in the 100-yard dash. In the 880 Chalmers and Morrison came in first and second respectively; in the mile; Turner and Hastings did likewise as did McConnochie and J. Gorman in the low hurdles. The pole vault was won by T. Moore and Calderone was second. W. Moore won the shot and was the only Pawling shot-putter to place. Others to place were Morgan and Valentine. Morgan obtained two third places, one in the broad jump and the other in the pole vault; and Valentine came in third in the 440. In the final meet with Bronxville High School, it was just a matter of who would get the greatest number of second and third places. Captain Ferguson, who was undefeated in the discus and who broke the school record in the last meet, broke his own record twice with throws of 112 feet 7 inches and 113 feet 6 inches. He also got first places in the high jump and broad jump. Ray Crossman, Pawling’s star 56 The SCROUv runner, after winning the 440, placed second in the 100 and the 220. Turner placed second in the mile, and Henry Chalmers ran second in the half mile. Bud Moore, fighting to the end, although he bettered his highest jump this year by several inches, was unable to cope with opposition and placed second in the pole vault. 57 The SCROLL, Track Records Event Record Holder Year 100-yd.

Green (Captain-elect) Basket Ball Rctiicto The SCROLL ACHED by Mr. Clement, captained by Richard Heyniger, and managed by George Noren, ■ ( I this year’s basket ball team was by far one of Pawling’s most successful teams. With a thirteen game schedule Pawling lost only four games and won second place in the Tri State League. The fourth game to be lost was that of the playoff between Pawling and Berkshire to decide the winner of the League cup. Pawling opened its season before Christmas in a game with Milford School; the game was lost by a very small score of 30-33. The loss was greatly attributed to the fact that the team was new and that the exact combination had not then been discovered. Pawling’s second game and also her first League game was that with Kent, in which she was defeated 36-27. The game, however, was marked by the trick shots of Landon, who was high scorer for the year, and by the long shots of Nosworthv from the center of the floor. Berkshire, the winner of the League cup, and Pawling’s strongest opponent, traveled down to Pawling and was beaten 39-27 by a hard-fighting Red and Black team. Moore, Pawling’s right forward, scored fourteen points against the ten points of Galonka, Berkshire’s high scorer. In an overtime game of three minutes Pawling defeated the Gunnery quintet 44-42. In this game as in the previous ones, Landon distinguished himself by scoring sixteen points. The game with Storm King, who arc non-members of the League was very close until the last quarter when Pawling evacuated from their slump and started scoring. The final score of this game was 47-40, with Moore as high scorer with a culmination of eighteen points. Canterbury, the weakest team in the League, was the next league encounter. The Red and Black quintet had a very easy time of it throughout the entire game. The final score was 31-20. Moore on this day was high scorer with a total of eleven points and was closely followed by Landon whose net score was ten points. A return game with Storm King resulted in an easy victory for the quintet 33-23. Moore was again high scorer with a total of fourteen points. At this point in the season the return League games began. The first game to be played was that with Kent. Pawling won 24-22, but not without a terrific fight. As can be determined from the score the game was very close. Landon was high scorer with twelve points. The Berkshire contest, however proved a sorry one for Pawling; the game was lost 39-31. Landon was again high scorer, scoring eleven points. The loss of this game made Berkshire and Pawling tied for place, provided each won the remainder of its schedule. The return Gunnery game was a most crushing defeat, as can be noted from the score 47-18. Pawl- ing outplayed Gunnery in every way. Moore was high scorer with thirteen points; Mattlagc closely followed with twelve. Two intervening games with Hackley and Riverdale were easy victories. The scores were 43-38; and 34-28 respectively. The final and most thrilling game of the season was that of the playoff for the League cup at Kent School between Pawling and Berkshire. Both teams were in excellent condition for the contest and it was a matter of which was the better team. At the start and through almost the entire game Pawling held the lead, but late in the last quarter Berkshire with a sudden burst of speed nosed through to win the game 25-23. 62 TheJ CROU-y Third Basket Ball Team Letter Men James B.

Though not as spectacular as the record breaking team of 1934, they have lived up to the high standards set by Van Bomel, Tibbals, and Jack Thompson. This judgment is not based on the number of meets won and lost, but rather on the excellent times that have been made in each event and upon the ability of the second and third place material. Certainly the spirit that the entire squad has shown has left nothing to be desired. Though seriously handicapped on several occasions by the illness of important members of the team, the boys met the emergency and gave the best that they had. Such spirit is always worthy of praise. In fact the success of the season was entirely due to the excellent spirit of cooperation and to the sportsmanship shown by the boys. In the first meet Pawling easily defeated the Hopkins Grammar School team that was weakened by- illness, by the score of 48-27. Captain Webb lowered the record in the 100 yd. free style, and both relay teams showed much promise. 'Though handicapped by the illness of C. Webb, McKinney and Mattlage, Pawling easily swamped Peekskill 46-29. The N. Y. M. A. meet was more exciting. All of the races were close, and at the end of the dives Pawling had to take both the relays to win. It was in this meet that the 120 yd. medley relay team of Peate Moebus and B. Webb established the new school record of 1:8.8, to win a 45-30 victory. Albany Academy was defeated 49-26 despite the absence of Capt. Webb and Palmer. Much credit should be given to the second team men for the fighting spirit they displayed in this meet. The Canterbury meet was the outstanding meet of the season and the coach, Mr. Herrick said that it was the best athletic event he had ever seen. At the end of the dives the score was tied, and Pawling had to take the 200 yd. relay to win. Both teams used their best swimmers in this event, and the result was a remarkable race. The better team won, but Pawling was just a few inches behind. In the last meet of the season, a powerful Hotchkiss team defeated Pawling 48-27. In this meet Moebus set a new school record in the 100 yd. breast stroke of 1:16. It is difficult to mention individual stars without being unfair to the team. However, great credit must be given to Capt. Webb, who has been defeated only once in the two years he has been at Pawling. He holds the school record in the 40 yd. free style, the 50 yd. free style, and the 100 yd. free style and was anchor on both record breaking relay teams. Chuck Webb and Mattlage have done excellent work on the dives, on the relays and in individual races. Moebus deserves much credit for his performance in the breast stroke. Palmer and Shepard did good work in the 220 and on both relay teams and Moore and Mckinney have made great progress this season. Of the nine boys awarded letters six are underformers. That fact in itself is most encouraging for next season. The SCROLL jStoimmmg Accords Event Record Holder Year 20-yd. Free Style M.3 Lenox H. Rand 1917 40-yd. Free Style 19.0 Burton H.

But no, they are braving the wintry snow and ice for a rendezvous with Lady Nicotine. Noren, Gregg, and Nesbitt were the three pioneers that never gave in to old man Winter. The sixth formers always got a “weed” in, but they sometimes encroached on the masters. Now that Spring is here, the shack is not so bad. There is always the mad rush in the morning with Noren leading the pack; there are always the parasites like Viner and Sides that smoke other peoples’ cigarettes; and there are always the card games. The seniors play casino in the morning, with Webb and Palmer both claiming the championship, and after lunch and dinner bridge holds sway. Sutphin is always late in getting over; so, after lighting one of Terrie’s cigarettes he sits down and tells Sides how to play his hand. Randy finally gets disgusted and gives his place to Stu, which is what Stu has been wanting all the time. About this time Viner and his cohorts leave for detention, and at two o’clock the rest of the underformers are ordered away by Palmer and Heyniger. Even this does not stop the terrible noise, but then it is discovered that Webb has got some one into a corner and is telling him some wild tale of his doings in Rochester. There is no way to stop Burt; so we all leave him, still talking as fast as ever. is certainly true.

Ix ng and short, slim and stout, all with a great craving to flash through the water as fast if not faster than J. Weissmuller. What a treat! What material! What a team it will be! So says the coach for the first week. He begins to have qualms at the end of the second week, however, and one notices an air of worry about his brow. Why? Well, it seems that the squad has been rapidly decreasing and what looked to be likely material has either been found dead in the pool or dead in the infirmary or just plain dead. The remaining twenty would-be sharks are 90% imbecile and 10% swimmers. In short, one must be a genius to keep oneself on the squad for the first two weeks. The situation becomes deplorable. Noon assembly brings the announcement of a meeting in room A of the entire squad. The entire squad meets in room A, hears itself denounced in scathing Spanish, and goes to lunch with but one thought in mind— ‘Bring bathrobes! And with that first warning begins the series known as “The Swimmer’s Enemy.” Every day an assembly. Every day a meeting. Every day a bathrobe, nosedrops, car-plugs, and wear a hat! The boys finally get used to it and stop dying, but only after having had three or four nervous break-downs from too many Spanish lessons. So much for the preliminaries. Three weeks from the date set for the first meet the coach decides to get the boys into shape. Whether into shape suitable for burial or into physical shape must remain a question. Monday of the first of the three weeks finds the coach with a gleam in his eye and a set jaw. Three P. M. and he enters the pool-room with a triumphant sneer. Says he “Everyone do at least a thousand yards to get loosened up!” The squad docs its thousand yard Marathon, scrapes a few of the corpses off the bottom of the tank and prepares to leave. No—one gets as far as the door before a bellow informs the group that they will oblige its owner by doing no less than 1000 yards more on the kicking boards without the use of the arms. Eight of the less hardy faint and arc scorned forever after by the coach. Somehow someone completes the terrible distance, and he is expected to leave as soon as he is able to walk. Need- less to say he doesn’t. After 150 turns, 150 starts, his cold blue corpse leaves on a stretcher. Finally all the water in the pool has been transferred to the lungs and stomachs of what was once a group of athletes, so practice is considered finished for the day. The day of the meet rolls around and we take a glance at the half-demented participants as they languish in study hall. One chews his fingernails, another draws eccentric diagrams on a piece of paper, and others seem to be well advanced along the road to dementia praecoces. To speak to them is useless, and in some cases dangerous, as a nervous swimmer thinks nothing more appetizing than a chunk of one’s ear just before the meet. Most interesting of all is the coach. His half suppressed growls and mouthings of technical terms and times of his men in their events give one an interesting view into the complexities of the mind of a man who can well be said to have water on the brain. So the meet is run off and everyone gets wet. The manager manages to keep the crease in the pants of his gold- inlaid Finchley suit, even after having assisted in the rescue of the poor, overworked 220 man. A rush for the Common Room informs us that a tea is in progress, and the team rebuilds its stamina with some of the best cake in the world. If the team has won, the coach beams on all and sundry for all of two hours, when he begins to worry about the next meet. If the team has lost, politeness is in order, but one notices icicles on every word. Provided that the administration’s digestion has been good, permission is given to sleep till chapel on Sunday. If the next day is not Sunday, death takes a holiday, and the team takes a day off. 83 Sixth Form Frame Name Generally Called Spends Most of His Time I n tended Occupation Probable Occupation Disposition Ahlstrom Johnny At the track Hammer thrower Taking care of Carl Mechanical Blandy Nap.

With girls Don Juan Henry VIII Loving The SCROLL The Class Prophecu of 1955 wr A DIES and Gentlemen—and Faculty, it is a tradition in the Pawling School I for some member of the senior class to arise at Commencement and make a complete fool of himself by attempting to deliver a humorous prophecy of his class. May I suggest that all objections be overruled until I have completed this oration. Bear with me now while I swing your imaginations into the great city of New' York twenty years hence. Realizing that Dick Heyniger was sailing today I thought it my first duty to go down to the pier and wish him a bon voyage. In our conversation there he confided to me that he had been summoned by Comrade Vladimir Ilyitch Lenin to establish the renowned Heyniger Five Year Plan that had worked so successfully in the Pawling School. After the boat sailed I made my way to the 164th floor of the Empire State Building. I w'as walking down the hall when I came upon a door marked “Jones and Shyster,” Attorneys at Law. Peering in the door, what should I see but Edwin, yes, old Eddie still sitting there leaning back with his feet up on the desk, reading the morning Tribune and waiting as ever for prosperity to come around the corner. Ed told me that he was the legal adviser for Senator Elting, who, he said had become a true Gassaway although he was upholding President Hooey Long’s per- sistent efforts to keep the United States out of the World Court. My duties later in the day took me past the Yankee Stadium where I en- countered a crow'd circled around an old man prostrate upon the ground. I recog- nized him to be Kiliaen Townsend. Several people were attempting to help him up, but he said that he had fallen into such a comfortable position that he did not want to be moved. However, when he found out that the ball game was about to start, he rushed to the gate with all speed. That evening, I decided to go hear the nauseating strains of Smith and his Boys beat out their bilious balderdash. Yes, it seemed as though Kingsley had finally accomplished his life’s ambition. Seeing Smith on the job wasn’t the only shock I received. The floor was cleared of its occupants, heaving to and fro to the weird music, and w'hen the lights had grown dim, who should waltz in but the famous dance team—Revel Widdecombe and Shirley Temple. The team, however, displayed its most remarkable dancing ability in dodging the flying missiles by which they were forced to retire. 86 The SCROLL In glancing around at the various tables I noticed one peculiar chap who looked very much out of place. Curiosity finally forced me to inquire about this so serious personage. Walking over to his table whom should I find it to be but A1 Grauer. He informed me that he had become a mortician, and that he had come in the hope that some well directed missile might give him some business. After bidding my friends goodnight I returned to my hotel. The next morning I was awakened by the cries of the newsboys yelling “Extra,” and summoning a bellboy to get me a paper I was soon confronted with the following amazing head- lines: Einstein s I heorv Shattered,” “Storrs and Freyfogle discover Fifth Dimen- sion.” It was a truly gratifying feeling to realize that two of my classmates, follow- ing the tendencies displayed at school, had attained such a great success. Since it was Monday morning, my only opportunity to visit my old cronies was to go to their respective places of business. I first encountered Billy Moore and Herb Mattlage, who I found had become prominent girdle manufacturers. They told me that they were making a prosperous living off the fat of the land. Colton Palmer was next in line. I found him seated at a desk in the Powder Pull Seminary of which, he told me, he had become Headmaster. It seemed that he was industriously attempting to organize a tea dance for his own inmates with those of the Pawling School. I then went to lunch with Dick McMahon who was a pillow salesman for the Feather and Down Company, but he had laid down on the job. However, he said that since he had made his bed he would have to lie in it. Walking down the street a bit later, we met Eliot Hawley, who told us that he was intensely occupied by a lawsuit in which the Smith Brothers Company, of which he was President, was suing the makers of Old Gold cigarettes for doing away with the coughs of the nation. When I was again back at my hotel, I found Bernard Nosworthy waiting for me there. This classmate, after finessing his way through Pawling, under the tutelage of Mr. Bowles, and trumping the obstacles of college, had'now become a foremost bridge authority and was engaged in publishing a book called “The Nos- worthy Overbid System.” This, I thought to myself, would do much to demon- strate the soundness of the Culbertson system. Bee also told me about my old roommate Burt Webb. It seemed that Burt, through constant use of his vocal cords, had become a famous sword swallower in the Wingdale Carnival. However, a great disaster had befallen him. The hard times of this period had cut him down to daggers and whispers. 87 The SCROLL The next morning I was obliged to arise early in order to complete my visits to my old classmates. My first visitation was to Jack Blandy. I found that he was in the blotting paper business, which he told me was a very absorbing industry. I then made my way down to Wall Street, and went to see Paul Morgan at his brokerage office. When I asked him how business was, he replied that it was so good that he hoped to be able to have his shoes half-soled next month. While there I inquired about Johnny Ahlstrom. Paul told me that Johnny’s business was on the rocks—that he had become a lighthouse keeper. I suspected that he had chosen this vocation so that he would no longer be bothered with con- versation. On my way back from Paul’s office I stopped at City Hall where I found Red Turner, who had become the political boss of Tammany Hall. He said that he had become so corrupt in this position that half the time he didn’t know which party he was swindling. I then made my way to the Bowery where I found Jack Gorman bucking the tobacco trust by selling F.l Hempo cigars at three for a nickel in competition with his father’s Corona Coronas. Jack told me about Jim McConnochie, who he said had become a Fuller Brush man, but it seemed that he had one great weakness— that every time a good looking girl opened the door he put his foot in it. I then met Gibson Terrie, who had been a French Professor at the University of Moscow. At dinner he explained to me that he had resigned his position because he had learned that the age of romance and adventure was not yet at an end, and consequently had set out to search for the giants that were still walking the earth. Gibson told me that he frequently came in contact with Tony Calderone who was busily engaged in writing that famous chronicle of the history of suburban Long Island, “I, Calderone.” We then decided to go see the much talked of movie—“Lost in a Fog,” written and acted by the great playwright Mortimor Howe. This was only one of the many misty tales written by this great author. In the newsreel we were astounded by a truly amazing sight. It signified the domination of woman over man. The picture showed the defeat of John Ferguson by Babe Didrickson in the high hurdles in the try-outs for the Olympics. We had been in the movie for some time before 1 realized that the man sitting next to me was none other than Doc Grover, who told me that he was in charge of the Napoleon uniforms at the Wingdale State Hospital. He went on to say that it 88 TheJgCROUy was an extremely tedious task with a thousand or more of these military geniuses to cater to. I also had something to boast about.
