James Wells [Id] CLASS HISTORY AHIA in September, 1934, five diminutive Third Formers made their unnoticed entrance into Pawling; vet this little group has gathered new members throughout the years, and now in 1938, a composite group of thirty-four men will compose this dune's graduating class. As fliev have grown in number, so they have widened the field of their accomplishments. Distin- guishing themselves in leadership, scholarship, and athletics, the men of 1938 will leave behind them a fine and enviable record. Perhaps the most memorable, and, in truth, the most important quality that the class of 1938 possessed was that of expert leadership. The class elected Robert -Mackie as Senior Prefect and President of his class, and in this trving position Hob did a noble job. His scholastic and athletic achievements, together with a forceful vet amiable personality, reveal a character that may well serve as a model for future Pawling leaders. Still equally deserving of praise are Mackie s four fellow-prefects. Park Morrison, Kill Parsons, Hob lliekov, and Parker Kan haf have performed well their part in the administration of the class government. I he class of 1938 surely had its share of scholastic ability. Park Morrison was Head Bov of the school two years ago, Albert Fisk succeeded him last year, and this spring Johnny LaValla is a strong contender for this highest of scho- lastic honors. And although perhaps not quite so brilliant as these three, there have been many other Seniors, such as Chambers, Gordon, I.itfwitz, llickev, and Boeder, whose steady appearance on the honor roll list rates them high in scholastic attainment. And who can say that the class of 1938 did not have its quota of athletes? Glancing through the records, one will notice that Kandy Sides played varsitv football, hockey, and baseball, and that Hickey and .Martin are also three-letter men. The competitive spirit was lively in the class, and there are many other boys, including Green, Parsons, Mackie, and MacDonald, who have also added to the athletic prestige of the school, hive Seniors have captained teams, one has broken a track record, and they have been the backbone of everv Pawling team. Hut the graduating class was not content with scholastic and athletic prowess, tor they have held high the standard of extra-curricular 'activities. Throughout their years at Pawling Jim Wells, Jimmy I.itfwitz. and A1 Fisk have contributed actively to the school publications. I.itfwitz has done partic- ularly fine work in his office as Editor-in-Chief of the ............. Fisk and Wells respectively as Editor and Business Manager of the “Scroll” have riven us a really tint year hook. Many Seniors under the guidance of “Mother” Wells have helped run the Tuck Shop, and many more have Itecn members of the Acolyte Guild, of which Wells was also the head. I he class of 38 have now yielded their places to others, but their memories of I awling can no more quickly be erased than can the impression they have stamped upon the school. The members of the class will soon be sprinkled over the world, but their memories of Pawling and their loyalty to its spirit will forever lie undimmed.

[45] CONGRESS CONGRESS, the debating society which is as old as the school, con- tinued this year under the guid- ance of Mr. Henderson, who has been in charge since the organization began. In the first meeting Mr. Warner Armstrong was selected speaker, and Mr. Robert Mackie was elected clerk. Later in the year, upon the resignation of Mr. Mackie, Mr. Albert Fisk was elected to replace him. During the first three terms Congress met once every week and debated on the WARNER ARMSTRONG current national and international prob- Speaker lems. After spring vacation the six l est speakers were selected to speak in the an- imal formal debate which was held on May 28. The question to la: discussed was: Resolved, That the Naval Rill which authorizes a large Navy is tor the best interest of the American people. 1 lie speakers for the affirmative were Mr. Littwitz, Mr. Coppins, and Mr. Armstrong. For the negative they were Mr. Fisk, M r. Mackie, and Mr. Green. The debate was held before the entire school. The sides were evenly matched and each member spoke well. The judges, Mr. Shortlidge. Dr. Stevens, and Mr. Anderson, announced their decision for the affirmative side as the winning team, and they gave the Kennedy prize for the best prepared and delivered speech to Mr. Warner Armstrong. Gold medals, also given by Mr. Kennedy, were presented to the members of the winning team. CONGRESS MEMBERS President............ A.

CLEMENT Coach [ «« ] RAX 1)01,IMI SIDES ROBERT IIICKEY Co-Captains WARREX DUFFY Manager THE SEASON The 1937 gridiron season was neither very successful nor impressive, as the record of one victory out of six starts and 2(i points to the opponents’ 91 shows; this result, however, was not due to any lack of spirit or effort on the part of the team. This year’s team, on the contrary, was one of the scrappiest and most fighting aggregations which have ever worn the Red and Black. The main trouble lay in the great gaps left in last year's championship team by gradua- tion; the new aspirants were, for the most part, inexperienced and of light weight. Opening their season on the home field, the Red and Black team met a powerful Deerfield eleven and were repelled by the score of 8-0. The superior tactics and heavier weight of the opponents were too much for our scrappy team, who were once caught behind the goal line for a safety, and who later allowed the Green to cross the fatal stripe. Leading their team valiantly, Co- captains Sides and Hickey played stellar games, the former at his tackle post and the latter in the quarterback slot. Traveling to Riverdale the following week, the team returned with its sole victory of the season. Playing before a large parent and student crowd, the Maroon team tried in vain to drive back their up-state rivals, but by the time the final whistle blew, Pawling had amassed nineteen points. Again in this game Hickey showed his prowess, smashing and tearing his way through the Riverdale wall, heaping up the yardage which accounted for his one touchdown and set the stage for his pass to Armstrong for another. In this game the team got its first glimpse of its shifty 128-pound quarterback, Heim, who showed uj) so well during the season; he twisted and shifted his way clear of facklers and ran twenty-five yards for a score. In the next encounter, played at home against an undefeated Scarborough team, our men again tasted defeat, this time to the tune of 2o-7. However, a feat was accomplished in this game which partly compensated for our loss. Even though outclassed in every way, our team pushed and fought their way down the field, and finally crossed the Scarborough goal line, which for two years had been untrespassed upon. Heim's interception on the thirty-yard line paved the way, and Don Waterman’s plunge made the touchdown. The annual Hotchkiss game, played at Lakeville this year, proved disas- trous to our forces, while for Hotchkiss it was the culmination of a three-year desire to down us. Overcome by an aerial display and ground barrage without precedent, the Pawling team was forced to allow the Blue powerhouse to roll up a 32-0 score. Holding a Berkshire 180-pound line and backfield scoreless for three quar- ters was another feat which perfectly characterized the type f team we had and were proud to back. Weight and sheer physical strength told in time, how- ever, and our weakened, bruised, battered, and tired team reluctantly conceded to their opponents three scores in the last stanza for a final score� of 20-0. In the final game of the season, played on a mud-soaked field against West- minster, Pawling, buoyed up by an undaunted spirit, climaxed the season by turning in tlu� lx� st exhibition of football of the entire year. 1 he team allowed their Kimshurv rivals onlv one touchdown, and though unable to score, the three times were inside their opponents’ five-yard line, only to be repelled bv valiant goal-line stands. Starting with the ends, in our review of members of the squad, we find W. Armstrong, Maeklin, O’Connell, Lahcv, Johnson, and I). Armstrong. W. Armstrong was the only veteran from last year’s squad, and he proved himself [58] an ii!)l(‘ pass-snatcher. .Mnckliii filled the other slot most of the season, and was noteworthy for his ability to tear up tin enemy s offense. () Connell, who plaved most of the season at taekle, made up for lost time and was the s| ecdiest iiml host of the ends. Johnson, I,alley, and I). Armstrong proved themselves able sub- stitutes, playing in many of the games. The tackle spots were more than ably tilled by Co-captain Sides and Grainger Wilson, who were the bulwark of the line, and were outstanding both in their offensive and defensive play. Sides, a veteran who served in Pawling football campaigns for three years, proved himself to lie of excellent football ability and mettle, and lie culminated his football seasons for the Red and Black with a powerful offense and defense in every game. Wilson was a new bov this year, but liis football feats won him much recognition, and lie was elected cap- tain of the 1938 team. Holding down the guard positions were Mott and Martin, with Jackson and Chambers ever ready and dependable substitutes. Martin, a two-year letter- man, could always be relied on to play a tine game, while Mott, a substitute last year, gained himself a regular berth, making up in fight what he lacked in size. Chambers and Jackson, both new men this year, saw a great deal of service during the season. In the ball-snapping position we find Page, a new varsity man this year, who proved himself well able to hold down the center spot. 1Lis accurate passes and fighting spirit against heavy odds enabled him to till this berth well. Turning to the backfield and starting with the brain-trust position of quarterback, we have there Co-captain Hickey. Hickey, a member of the 1936 team, again showed his prowess as a ball carrier, being especially effective in his smashing line plunges. Heim, who substituted at this position, was the sur- prise of the season; he was the smallest and lightest man on the squad, yet he was probably one of the fastest and shiftiest runners among the backs.

LEATHERS Coach C 60 ] ROBERT MACK IK CHARLES RYDER Captain Manager THE SEASON The 1938 trackmen turned in one of the best records that Pawling has had in many seasons. Their performance of four wins out of six meets was impressive and ineluded sterling individual performances. Only the powerful teams of Hotchkiss and Taft were able to stop the Red and Black, who defeated Berkshire, Ilackley, Millhrook. and Bronxville. With six returning lettermen and five other veterans from last year's team. Coach Leathers was able to build up a powerful squad to represent Pawling. Captain Maekie, Armstrong. Green, and Hickey shared the brunt of the work, eachdoing at least two events. High- lights of the season were Captain Maekie's 117-foot hurl in the discus, break ing the former school record of 113 feet, six inches; Martin's three successive ties of the school record of ten seconds Hat in the hundred; and the snapping of Bronxville's three-year winning streak. Leading the team in individual scor- ing for the second successive year. Martin amassed a grand total of 72 points. Following him were Captain Maekie with Co1 � points, and W. Armstrong with 19 points. The Real and Black track team made their debut at Lakeville against Hotchkiss, and were repelled by the better balanced team of their opponents r,!i ] 75-51. Although the Pawling cindermen proved themselves superior to their opponents in the running events, they allowed the Blue performers to gather most of the points in the Held events. Martin carried the honors of the team with victories in the 100 and 440-vard races and a second in the 220 behind O’Connell’s first, while Captain Maokie took first in the discus and second in the high hurdles. Armstrong won the broad jump, but Hotchkiss swept the pole vault ami half mile. The second meet, against a newlv-formed Millbrook team, served to test some of the new members of the squad. The more experienced Red and Black team captured first places in every event, picking up 81 points to their op- ponents’ 18. Captain Mackie’s discus throw of 115 feet broke the former school record by a foot and a half and proved to be the climax of the meet. Travelling to Berkshire for the third meet, Pawling trampled over its opponents for an 84 -41 triumph. The Pawling trackmen held flu upper hand throughout the afternoon, besting their rivals in all but four events. Leading in the afternoon’s scoring, Captain Maekie again broke the school’s dis- cos mark with a spectacular hurl of lit! feet, !• inches. Besides accomplishing this feat he won the high hurdles and high jump. Martin was, as usual, supreme in the three dashes. For its fourth meet Pawling journeyed to Tarrytown and trounced the Haeklev track aspirants t!2-.‘17. The Red and Black captured eight firsts out of the eleven events. Martin took his customary firsts in the hundred and 440, while Cowan and Green won the mile and half-mile respectively. Pawling again took a clean sweep in the broad jump, with Armstrong leading the way with a leap of twenty feet. Captain Maekie won the discus again and tied for first with Nixon in the high jump. Pawling reached its peak in the Bronxville meet, when it broke the wave of victory on which Bronxville had been riding for three years. The Bronxville team arrived at Pawling fresh from five consecutive victories in the current season. Pawling, however, took no note of their opponents’ past achievements, and calmly sent them home on the short end of a 51 V-j-SS1 -; score. The high spot of the meet was Captain Mackie’s hurl of 117 feet in the discus, which broke the school mark that he himself had set in a previous meet. The final meet of the season, which took place at Taft, was run in a heavy rain, but, even so, the meet was close and hard fought. Although defeated by a 7l1 1)-54j _ score, Pawling gave Taft its hardest fight of the season. Snatching riirht out of fourteen firsts from a team which liu l turned back Hotchkiss and Choate was a very commendable feat. Martin came through with his triple ' ii foi in the dashes, while Mackic captured the high hurdles and discus. l n- dei the stiff competition of this meet many Pawling men turned in their best performances of the season. Starting with the running events in our team review, we first come to Martin's name. IIis triple victories in the 100, 220. and 440-vard races were highlights of most of the meets. Sharing these races with him were Armstrong in the 100, ()( onnell in the 100 and 220, and Parsons in the 440. In the dis- tances we ha e Green and Goat for the half-mile and Valentine and Cowan in the mile. Green was a steady 2 :10 half-milcr, while Valentine and Cowan did well in the mile. Mackie and Iliekey took firsts and seconds in the high hurdles in all the meets except at Hotchkiss. I inning to the field events, we do not find such all-round strength. .Vs Martin stands out in the running, so Captain Mackie does in the field. He was a discus thrower, shot putter, and high juni] cr. His supremacy in the discus was undisputed. Helping him in this event were Xixon and Van Bomcl, who both improved greatly during the season. In the shot put we have two con- sistent throwers, Sides and Mackie. Along with Mackie in tin- high jump were A ixon and Potter; this trio turned in many beautiful jumping performances. In tin' broad jump we find Armstrong from last year, along with Potter, Hickey and Parsons. Captain-elect Armstrong challenged the school record many times ith his leaps. ( oaeli Leathers found difficulty in supporting the veteran Green in the pole vault, but Fish, Goodale. and Oler were all good competitors in this event. In the hammer throw the candidates were Lacey, Gordon and Banzhaf; Lacey steadily improved and was rewarded by winning first in the Taft meet, lackey again took care of the javelin assignment this year and was an adept thrower. 1 RECORD Pawling.......... 51 Pawling.......... 81 Pawling........... 841 , Pawling..........

CLEMENT Coach [ 65 ] IIAKRY -McDOXAU) Captain EVERETT JOHNSON' Manager THE SEASON On April 5, 1938, Coach Clement made a call for candidates for the 1938 baseball team. On the night of June 10, the athletic banquet brought to a close a season which, although disappointing in the number of games won, neverthe- less contributed to the school by the tine spirit and perseverance displayed by the team as a whole. Under the leadership of Captain Harry McDonald and the coaching of Mr. Clement and Mr. Maxwell, the team improved steadily as the season progressed. Whatever it may have lacked in brilliancy it made up for by sportsmanship on the field of play. In glancing back over the nine games played, we find that the team won three and lost six. Three victories out of nine make little impression upon the average baseball fan. But let us review these games, glance at some of the individual players, and show that the season was bv no means the failure that the outward evidence might indicate. In its initial game with Riverdale the Pawling team played good ball and won 5-4. Although Riverdale scored four runs in the first three innings and led until the last inning, the seventh, Pawling finally surged ahead to victory. The second game, with Canterbury, was something of a thriller. Pawling, [ 66 ] with the heavy batting of Eppler and Sides, led from the very first, gathering three runs in the first inning, one in the second, and one in the sixth. In the seventh inning, however, Canterbury made a hid for victory bv scoring four runs in a row. Pawling, however, sustained the attack and won 5-4. 1 bn...lays later, April 23, Pawling journeyed to Lakeville and met its traditional rival, Hotchkiss. In the first few innngs of the game, Pawliug’s defense held Hotchkiss, and the teams seemed evenly matched. Ilarrv Mc- Donald at first base and Dick Eppler in centerfield played excellent hall and accounted for many putouts. However, in the fourth inning Hotchkiss began to hit and gained a lead. Although Eppler gave Pawling a home run in the sixth, Hotchkiss finally won out 0-3. In the next game, with Hacklev, Pawling met a well-co-ordinated team. Hacklcy’s heavy slugging and flashy fielding had the Pawling men at a stand- still. Si MacDonald caught very well behind the plate, while Sides’s triple in the first inning and subsequent crossing of the plate saved Pawling from a shut- out. The final score was Hacklev 10, Pawling ]. The next weekend Kent joined the ranks of those who had beaten Pawling. As in previous games, Pawling started well, scoring three runs in the first in- ning. one of which was on Captain Harry McDonald’s homer. Dick l.ahev also maintained his dependable average at the bat and in the field. .Nevertheless, Kent, by capitalizing on errors, forged ahead in the second inning and held the lead from then on, finishing the game with the score 12-4 in their favor. On May 14. the Pawling Alumni assembled to watch the team’s second en- counter with Hotchkiss. It was a close-fought game all the way, with Pawling finally overpowered 15-8. The batting order of II. McDonald. Sides, l.ahev, and Eppler provided a barrage of hits that scored four runs in the first inning. AI Nixon pitched excellent ball, allowing the Hotchkiss batters only four hits in five innings. However, in the sixth, Hotchkiss opened up and brought in a number of runs. At the end of the seventh, Pawling was behind by six runs, when Sides clipped a single into right field and started a rally. Hut Hotchkiss tightened her defense and won. For their next game the baseball team journeyed to Storm King, where they crushed their opponents 12-3. In this game Captain McDonald starred by hitting a home run in the third inning. Sides and Eppler also contributed to [67] the hitting. Eppler’s fielding was outstanding, while the battery of A1 Nixon and Si MacDonald worked together beautifully. As a whole, the team displayed a flashy form which showed them to be greatly improved over their early-soason form. Pawling’s final bid for success was annihilated on June 1 by Berkshire’s aggregation of thunderous hitters. In this game Bawling showed more polish than in any of her previous engagements. However, Berkshire possessed an tin beatable club, and, although the game was exceedingly close in the early in- nings, Berkshire's terrific hitting power finally penetrated the Pawling armor. In the first two innings, Berkshire got but two hits, being held by the good field- ing of Nichols and the pitching of Al Nixon. The third inning proved the most eventful for Pawling. Harry McDonald and Kppler singled, and Nixons double carried them in. Nichols then scored Woodhull and Breeding. 1 his was the first real exhibition of Pawling’s hitting power. The score now stood at 4-2 in Pawl- ing’s favor. But in the fifth, Berkshire retaliated with a succession of hits which counted five runs. Pawling was unable to cope with this sudden surge of power, and. as Berkshire continued to apply the pressure, could not overtake its op- ponents. In the seventh inning Woodhull proved his merit by driving a double into eenterfield. However, even this could not down Berkshire, and the game terminated with Pawling on the short end of the scoring, 12-1� . Tn reviewing the individual members of the team, we find Si MacDonald as catcher and Al Nixon as pitcher. Both men showed increased confidence as the season progressed. With the return of Nixon next year we can count on a veteran hurler. As substitute pitcher Don Waterman many times showed his ability bv halting rallies of rival teams. First base was capably guarded by Captain Harry McDonald, who also was lead-off man in the batting order. Woody Woodhull was the regular second sackcr and the team’s Wednesday hitter, who really proved his worth in the Berkshire game. Randy Sides as shortstop was one of the team’s most dependable fielders, while his slugging paved the way for many Pawling runs. Nichols completed the infield as third baseman. Nichols’s fine throwing arm promises to be of great advantage to next year’s team. In the outfield we have Ed Breeding in left, Dick Kppler in center, and Dick Lahey in right. All three men showed their potency not only in the field but also at bat. Dick Lahey as third batter and Eppler as clean-up man were, along with Sides and Harry McDonald, the team's most formidable hit- ters. By the lettermen of this year Dick Eppler was elected captain for 1939.

However, there was consolation in every defeat, for each Pawling man gained in ex- perience and improved in skill. And the fine spirit of the team was a main factor in its winning the season’s last meet with Canterbury. At the end of the season three cups were given; one for tin most outstand- ing performance of the season, one to tin boy showing the most improvement, and one to the boy having tin best spirit. Hob Cowan won the cup for the most outstanding performance. Not only did Hob accumulate tin most points, having a total of thirty-two, but he also broke his own record several times, and finally lowered it in the last meet to the new school record of 2 minutes, 28 1 5 sec- onds. Leo McCall, because of his improved swimming over that of last year, won the cup for the boy who had made the most improvement. Before this year Leo had not had much success in his event, tin? 220-yard fret style, but this year ho improved greatly and was among the four who topped the team in number of points. Jim Littwitz, not an outstanding swimmer, but one of per- sistence, won the cup for having the most spirit. He was greatly admired by the members of the team for his fine enthusiasm and interest. Honorable mention must go to Captain Hill Wallace, who was a good leader and set up a brilliant record. Because of his leadership and his ability as a swimmer. Bill was re-elected captain for next year’s team. Pawling lost the first two meets to far superior teams, tin Yale Freshmen and Albany Academy. The team also lost the third meet, to Hopkins Grammar School, but a great improvement was seen in the Pawling swimmers. i 1 Cowan broke the 220-record in the next meet, with Peekskill Military Academy; but Pawling lost by the score of 42 to 24. 1'he real ability of the Pawling team was seen in the last two meets, with Hotchkiss and Canterbury. At Lakeville the meet was so close that the outcome depended on the final relays. Unfortunately our swimmers lost the medley re- lay and lost the meet to Hotchkiss, 38 to 28. I he team encountered Canterbury in the home pool for the final meet of the year. It was an exciting contest, as the score was tied right up to the last event. I hen the four Pawling relay men beat those of Canterbury, and the home team was victorious by the score of 35 to 31.

The very first game proved disastrous for the Red and Black quintet, for they met a more experienced and powerful team in Trinity, a school of New ork City. With the exception of Nixon’s set-up shots, the team was held powerless, and could avail itscll of no scoring opportunities against the tight defense that the other team displayed. In its league opener, the game being the third of the season for Pawling, the team was defeated hv Berkshire. If was a contest that was undecided right up to the last minute of play, a last moment in which a rival player netted the hall to win the game for Berkshire bv the score of 31-2!� . After knotting the score a few seconds before the final whistle. Pawling was unable to come through in the overtime period and went down to defeat. After succumbing to the fast attack of Gunnery, Pawling met the Taft team. Again fortune favored the opposing team when a rival player scored a field shot in the last few seconds to win the game by the identical score of .‘11-29. Pawling looked very good at this point of the season, and seemed to have the Taft game well in hand when Taft suddenly tied the count, and eventually won the game. In the next game, a purposeful Pawling team, bent on avenging past de- feats, crushed a weaker Canterbury quintet by the score of .’18-17. Everv mem- ber of the basketball squad participated in the game, hut the scoring honors went to Parsons and Armstrong, who garnered twenty-one points between them. [73] After three more league games had been played, the basketball team came up against the strong Kent team, which had already swamped Pawling by the score of 24-11. However, in a most remarkable comeback, the Red and Black nosed out Kent by the margin of a single point. .Nichols, with approximately half a minute left to play, looped a seemingly inijiossible one through the rim from the side of the court. This victory came as the climax of the season, as well as being the fourth and last success for Pawling, for the team was defeated in its last two games. Although the season may well be termed unsuccessful, a few extenuating facts present themselves in tin realization that only one regular from the [ire- ceding year returned, and that there were comparatively few candidates for the squad from newcomers at school. The team as a whole deserves a great deal of praise for its scrap against greater odds. It was difficult to find a clicking line-up. and even after Mr. Clement had solved that problem, there were times when the players in that line-up lacked steadiness in their individual positions. The most capable line-up was the one that featured Parsons at center, Nixon and Nichols or MacDonald at the for- ward posts, and Roeder and Waterman at the guard positions. The first three men were always a scoring threat, while the latter two proved themselves to be efficient defenders. Tolies, Valentine, W. Armstrong, and Kirchmaier also aided the team in its quest of victories.

MAXWELL Coach [75 1 RANDOLPH SIDKS Captain RALPH KVKRKTT Manager THE SEASON A pleasant and profitable sojourn at Lake Placid, a victory over Hacklev, and a close, though losing, combat with their ancient rival Hotchkiss, were the highlights of Pawling’s 1038 hockey season. The record of the Red and Black sextet was spotty, showing five defeats, two ties, and only one victory. The squad contained capable players, hut their inexperience in working together made it difficult for Coach Maxwell to get them to perform well as a unit. Bv cutting short their Christmas vacation the members of the squad gained the benefit of several days of practice at school on good ice and then moved to Lake Placid for an enjoyable and profitable week-end. This trip culminated in a fast and thrilling match with the Xorthwood skaters, a match in which goals by Captain Sides, Thomson, and Crudgington kept their team on even terms with the up-staters for two periods, only to have Xorthwood score four third- period tallies to win 7 to 3. In the next game, at Watertown, Connecticut, the Taft squad, led by Hill, displayed such marvelous team play as to shut out the Red and Black, 5 to 0. Courageous and desperate fighting by Pawling could not once endanger the vic- tors’ lead. After tying Canterbury, 2 to 2, largely because of Bob Green’s two un- assisted scores, Pawling faced Hotchkiss at Lakeville. Both teams were at the height of their form, but tin fast and shifty Blue skaters had little trouble in eking out a 2 to 0 victory. Their shooting was so hard and accurate that the score was kept low only by the excellent work of Pawling’s goalie, Woodhull, who in this game turned in his finest cage performance. [76] I'lie Icam next engaged the I'nion Freshmen at Schenectady, onl.v to lose, ;! ' I' a'� ' Armstrong scoring the lone Pawling tally. Pawling’s players had numerous chances to win, for they skated circles around the collegians; hilt they erred continually on beautiful set shots and plays. After playing a slow, scoreless tie with South Kent in which the defense men shone, the Bed and Black garnered its one victory, easily vanquishing the Hacklex six, 2 to ft. I or the first time the team displayed good co-ordina- tion, Lahev and Sides passing and shooting adeptly to stand out among their teammates. Berkshire's speedy and agile puckmcn then ended the current hockey sea- son with a brilliant . to 1 victory over the Bawling forces. The garni , marked by rough play and many penalties, was staged liefore a large gathering of guests at the Bawling midwinter festivities. The team fought hard, but had not the ability to cope with the superior Massachusetts team. I lie Berkshire game was the last hockey contest for six of the Bawling squad; namely, Captain Randv Sides, Bob Green, Everett Johnson, Bob Hickey, Bob Mackie, and Dick Lahev. The loss of these men, all first team skaters, will la a severe blow to the prospects for 1!)39. Sides, a fhree-vear hockey man, will be especially missed. He has captained the team well and been a bulwark on the defense. The offense, too, will la weakened bv the loss of Bob Green, high scorer of tin past season. The skill and spirit of Lahev and Thom- son will also be missed. But Captain-elect Dave Armstrong, at defense, and M oodie oodhull, at goal, both of whom performed so capably this vear, will be a fine nucleus for a new team; and Alan Brice and Albie Mott, if one may judge by the ability they have already shown, should be of great assistance. Thus we may look forward confidently to an excellent 1039 season. RECORD Pawling 3 North wood .

Although seriously handicapped l v the resignation of its captain. Bill Parsons, the team was well led bv Par- sons's successor, Rufus Matliewson. The team began its season inauspiciouslv by losing to two strong aggrega- tions, Riverdale and Kent, by scores of t -3 and 4-2. In the Riverdale match -Matliewson and Schmid won their singles, and Roeder and Schmid won their doubles match. Against Kent, Roeder, playing in his usual steady fashion, won his singles match easily in two sets, and Parsons and Matliewson won their doubles. 1 he team s first in a series of straight successes was a 3-2 victory over Ilackley Matliewson. playing in the number one position for the first time, defeated his opponent in two quick sets, as did George Roeder. The third and deciding victory of the afternoon was that of Roeder and Roy Tolies in the second doubles match. -V strong Trinity team next fell to Pawling by the score of 4-3. The num- ber one and two men, Matliewson and Schmid, lost close matches, although Schmid extended his opponent, Dawson, who is one of the ranking junior players of the east, to three thrilling, close sets. But Boeder, Tolies, and Long, in the three, four, and five positions, won their singles; and again Roeder and Tolies won the doubles match that clinched the victory. Pawling next won the Gunnery match, in which Captain Matliewson dis- played unusual form in vanquishing Alexander Alexander, who had boon beaten but once in three years of competition. Again Roeder, Tolies, and Long won their singles, and Roeder and Tolies their doubles. RUTS MATII KWSOA' Cu plain BARI) CHESTXEY .1 atiager In a .'5-2 victory over Storm King, Mathewson and Roedcr won their singles matches, and Kooder and Tolies their doubles. The defeat of the Union Freshmen extended Pawling's string of consec- utive victories to six. Mathewson, Schmid, and 1 ollcs won their singles; and Roeder and Long lost theirs. With the score tied at three all after the Pawling first doubles team had lost, George Roeder and Roy I ollcs clinched the contest for Pawling by continuing their unbroken string in the doubles and winning their fifth straight victory. In the final match Taft proved far too strong an opponent and won 6-0. Rain prevented the playing of the doubles. The most impressive records of the season belong to Mathewson and Roedcr. Mathewson steadily developed until, at some points of the season, he was playing brilliant tennis, but now and then had an “off-day ’ and was some- what erratic. Roeder, a second-year man, was a fine competitor and played a steady, unostentatious game throughout the season. His play never scintillated, but he won victories. George Schmid, a youngster who was playing for the first year, rose to be number two man and occasionally played brilliant tennis, al- though he was too inexperienced to be always dependable. Roy Tolies, also a new man, developed remarkably during the season and by deadly use of a powerful forehand won four singles ami five doubles matches.

The plane speedily devours the twenty-thousand-foot ua]) at seven miles a minute. I madly sweat and strain to pull myself out and make a jump. Crack! The wings break and crumble into bits as the ship now spins and twists in its ecstatic fall. The blasting wind has trapped me in my little lever-adorned cubicle, and soon the earth administers the fatal slap on the face of the bullet-like craft. Now silence follows, and everything is black and spinning; then light slowly creeps in like a misty dawn, and scenes of familiar persons play before my frightened, glaring eyes. The first scene 1 pick out from the jumble appears to be an operation in an ultra-modern surgeon’s chamber on the one hundred and second floor of the New York Medical (’enter building. Doctor Dudley Fish, M.D., A.W .O.L., X.O.S., has just performed the century’s most dashing operation, the reduction of fiftv-five pounds of obesity in one operation, defying all those old-fashioned advocators of dieting and exercise. Why not reduce via Fish’s method, though a bit more cutting( But who is this new-made man, the still etherized patient? John LaValla. Pawling's “brain-trust,” now clipping the scales at a thorough 180, satisfies our quizzical wonder. Incidentally, John has taken over Madison Square Garden now, dividing most of his attention between the boxing and wrestling bouts, lie is still backing Freddie Steele, even though the old puncher is swinging like Kostelanetz. From this jolly little spot we peer into the office, in the Central Park Zoo- logical center, of the president, Cray “The Eel” Coppins, who has filled this position since bis recent return from his trip upstream in payment for a case of forgery. On the large, walnut desk is a picture of an elderly man, bearing the inscription “Sharky, your loving uncle.” In the president’s hand is a letter just received from the uttermost parts of dark Africa. It reads (“sans Buffalo accent); “My dear Cray, Mv five years’ search has at last proved fruitful, and I have two specimens of the “Jeep” to bring back with me. His characteristics, such as fasting, are dumbfounding, and his appearance, topped bv his hair falling over his eyes, is highly awesome. I am returning as soon as possible, and hope you have not fainted from joy over my news. Your faithful worker, Jud Sprague” Science marches on, and so do these visions. Oh, proper stuff! it must be the very painting of my fear: it’s the air-drawn dagger. If you ask me, this looks like a court room. Mv, my, what have we done now! Oh, there is George Roeder, the Pennsylvania District Attorney, carrying a huge pile of papers to bis desk. George has not changed much except that his voice is at last low bass and he is happy. His fame as a lawyer has vaulted to tremendous heights—this case being his apex. It seems his classmate. Jack Maeklin, Philadelphia's repre- sentative glamor bov, has just been caught up with in a certain little game. The state and George claim solid polygamy; Jack claims mere bigamy. [88] lo allay our thoughts from this distressing sight, I find myself staring at J’hilly s exclusive Heron Club, under the management of none other than Pawling s and Park Avenue’s own Spenny Martin, who cleverly devised this original night club as a blissful spot for liquid refreshments. After showering Heron Club lucky nickels on his guests as they enter, this eurly-topped con- noisseur of sparkling entertainment personally leads them to their table. The mellow tunes ol Juniors Joyful dumpsters are heard as the players blast awav in a deal cuing jam session. Junio MacDonald, the drummer and leader, who has never heard of Gene Krupa, takes a break hitting everything in sight, even the shiny bald head of his classmate and sizzling clarinetist, Benny Beelzebub Page. It seems that Benny, after one night with the Corning Philharmonic as forty-seventh clarinetist, had decided to pocket his pride and “swing it out” in this notoriously hot gang. His special feature is a solo on the licorice stick with a dazzling exhibition of trucking tossed in. Incidentally, the leader, MacDonald, has just been successfully divorced for the seventh time, but is already sup- posedly going steady again. Frailty, thy name is MacDonald. I here go those visions again! Here's one stopping in front of mv face— it's the Wellesley Hills, Newton, Dana Hall, and Boston Railroad line. Down these tracks I see a large, naive, bearded tramp, with a fat three-quarter-smoked cigar in his month and a stick and knapsack over his shoulder, waddling along in a manner utterly familiar. He is muttering to himself, “Only a few more weeks, and then back to the old school grind again.” Poor Randy! Hum, another knocking at the gate scene. I see Albert Archimedes Time- to Retire bisk at a bench overloaded with discolored test tubes, flasks, and many other queer-looking contraptions. The walls of the room are as red as Russia herself, while over Fisk's desk hangs a portrait of Rousseau. On the desk lies a chemical-spotted copy of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital. Albert has been trying ever since lie left Pawling to trisect an atom, but from the glint in his eve I gather that he has not succeeded. Since variety is the spice of life, my next view is on hoard one of the Navy’s newest battle ships, the U.S.S. Slidget. This majestic-looking dread- naught was named after Midget Morrison, the smallest skipper ever to blush his way into service. As I focus ray eyes on the bridge, I notice that my snivel jug classmate has not yet succumbed to the obnoxious neatness of the Navy life. I he desk is ankle-deep in back issues of the Argosy and also an eight-bv-ten, life-size portrair of himself. By the window is a step-ladder which the small skipper necessarily utilizes during war games. This buxom, blithe, and debonair kipper now tunes his radio to hear—“And now with the permission of the I luted States ( oast Guard, we bring you Mouse Maekie, phvsical director at the Academy. Krispv, Wispy Cereal makes possible this world-famous broad- cast of Mouse Maekie, who today will talk on ‘The Theory of Dynamic Ten- sion.' You may secure a picture of this renowned personage if you follow these diuctions. I ear the front cover off Shakespeare s .1 ucbct i or a reasonable fac- simile, and send it in to this station along with twenty thousand words telling why you like Krispv, Wispy Cereal. While the diminutive skipper proudly listens to this former classmate who made good, tin1 speaker signs off for an- other day. Before the Little Admiral can jump down from his chair and switch the radio off, the following announcement blares out: [ 89 ] “Meet vour friends at Dapper Green’s Hidden Tim, only four hundred twenty minutes from Broadway in the lazy hills of picturesque Dutchess County in the well-known town of Pawling. There you may taste that world-famous Yin du Green lit 3 3 and also that delicious steak du Jesse which even Oscar of the Waldorf acclaims as unique.” Morrison finally reaches the radio and briskly turns it off, reflecting how happy Green is, living a country squire’s life with his loving wife and seven children. This vision now spins away into oblivion, and the new setting appears to be old, tall buildings in historic and animated Wall Street. To my amazement the first thing that strikes me is a sign bearing, in golden print, the name “Bernard F. Gordon, Jr., Incorporated, stock broker, member of New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Chicago Exchanges.” When I look into his office, four flights up, there is old Bed on the floor with four other dignified men, saying “Hatch out lightly, boy—come to papa!” The dice hop along the floor and appear stopped at double sixes; but most fortunately one die jumps to a one, and Bed says, “O.K., J.P.; the Empire State is mine!” As mv glance wanders over Gordon’s office, I chance to see on Bud’s desk a copy of the day’s newspaper opened to the sporting page, with glaring head- lines shouting at us, “Gaunt Goes Two Furlongs in Record Time.” It seems that Bill is now exercise bov and jockey for the Van Richbottom’s famous stable. On closer inspection of the article, I find that Massa rode the stable’s favorite filly, Arimav, over a hard course in record time for two furlongs. With Bill up, the Graft Stakes was easily taken by the fast filly. Incidentally, I hear that Big Tin Mara, King of the Bookies, is in reality mv old friend and school chum, hippy Leo McCall. After he doped out six par- lavs in six successive days, the betting commissioners in the East gave our genial pal a cut—three months vacationing on an island off the California coast. Again all goes black, and then a sunshiny vision of the Seesaw Tennis Club impresses itself upon my sight. Overhearing two conversationalists on the club- house veranda, 1 gather that Bill Parsons made quite an impression when be sauntered upon the tennis courts here in the tournament. Parse carried an even dozen rackets with him as necessary equipment for his fast serve, while behind him followed a retinue of maids carrying three wafer coolers and an encyclo- pedia called “Four Forty or Foo” or “IIow to Run.” Oh. well, stick at it. Bill! One of the officials on hand at the tournament is P. Chamberlain Banzhaf, a very wordy wit. I am amazed to be informed that he is envoy supreme of Transylvania. Despite his articulations and gesticulations I can plainly see dangling on his majestic watch chain a huge golden shovel outlined in brown, bearing the inscription, “Pawling '38, compliments of the Faculty.” Park was always a diplomat, n'est-ce pax? Following my interview with Billy Parsons, 1 escort Wincy Banzhaf to the airport where he is to catch a plane to Europe. Barely reaching the airport in time, Wincy leaps into one of the new Berlin London planes which guarantees to make the trip in twenty-three hours. To his utter amazement the comforting nurse-like steward is none other than Dick Laliev, Pawling’s all-round dream boy and superhuman French student. It appears that Dick joined this stratospheric organization after playing four days [90] with the cellar-possessing ankccs in tin- American League (or possibly tlie Southern Pacific League0- La hey bashfully admits that he left the ball club rather hastily, even though he had broken three all-time records. The store is out that I)i k dropped fifty-three flies, while flu other one stunned him for a lew brief seconds. I he other two records accomplished were, as a batter, the phenomenal fifteen sfrik -outs on forty-five pitched halls, and nine out of ten rather wild throws to first. Incidentally, no out really knows what happened to the tenth throw, although many theories have boon propounded. I pon Winevs arrival at London, he hears cheerful cries of “Extra! Lxtia. from the mouth of a little dark-haired bov. And to Lark's surprise the little boy turns out to be deems Turtle Littwitz. who has actually grown to be a lug, burly bumble-bee. After all, how could dim tail to rise to such an influ- ential position in the newspaper world, considering all the helpful knowledge he gathered in this line at his Alma Mater ? The next vision seems tinted red and white. But why ? Oh, it's Cambridge! Harvard! A classroom! A professor! Stowell Baxter! “That, my friends, ’is Douglas Cole's thesis on ‘Symbiosis in tin Ifaw’ or ‘Parasitism without Mutual Benefits. cry good, Doug, replies a soprano voice from the rear. “It oughta be; 1 ve handed in the same paper for the past fifteen years. It seems that Doug liked Ins room in box Hall so much that he decided to hang around for further study. But what's this! The image has changed, and I am back in Ye Olde Pawl- inge Sehoole. dim Wells conies staggering into the ....... under the load of two laundry hags full of the nightly profits of the Tuck Shop. Our own little Mother empties tin spoils upon the floor and stacks up the money in hor- rendous piles. Now the curious thing about all this is that if you were to ask Jungle dim how the Tuck Shop is doing, there is no doubt that the reply would Ihi the usual “We are losing money every night.” From various other papers on Jungle's desk, we find that he not only is still running the Tuck Shop, but is al.-o the real power behind the headmaster, and, of late, has been declaring bank holidays and war moratoriums over the president’s head. )nee more the scene shifts, and we find ourselves in the maddening crowd at ,0th Street and West End in Xew 1 ork City. From a brown, stucco apart ment comes W cazened W illie ( handlers, heaven s gift to women and Xew York's used-to-be glamor boy. After an extensive career with the Goodyear Rubber ( omjianv, where he amassed a tremendous fortune. Bill decided to retin and live on the fruits of his success. Subduing the Gypsy instinct in his blood, Ely is content to live happily, if not so quietly, in one place—Xew York. Again things go black, and soon my eyes fall on a dismal-looking, dilapi- dated town or city called West Haven, where a certain ball park catches mv eye. From the entrance we see a curly-haired little rascal in a black suit and black hat bounding out of the doorway, pursued bv pop bottles and bats. The l:o°r fellow is yelling at the top of his voice, “I still say it was a str-r-r-i-k-e!” I can t understand the crowd s attitude. Kv was such a dvnamic umpire at Pawling. Wont these tantalizing sights ever go away? It seems impossible to get away from the past. Who’s the fair-haired fellow being mobbed bv the multi- tude of women? Why. it's the one and only Jack Kuntz! He is flu recently [01] crowned Olympic Champion for the best all-round character in the world. There were eight Romeos in the finals, and by a unanimous vote Jack won the throne. He is peacefully sitting there, chatting about himself; and, oh, the lucky girl u|K n whom his glance rests! Playing in the Red and Mack room adjoining is delightful Dippah Waterman and his Mellow Fellows. As Donney sends echo- ing around the familiar words “.Mess around, chillun, mess around!'' the scene fades into oblivion. From mental darkness we go into the artificial darkness of a New ork subway, where 1 see a huge but frantic, barrel-chested chap wallowing around in a crowded car, veiling, “llow do I got out? How do I get out? A kindly blonde fellow touches him on the shoulder and says, “May I help you, friend ? 1 lie big fellow gratefully accepts, and begins to enumerate his troubles, when sud- denly the light of recognition springs into the eyes of each. an Bomel! “Hickey! —and soon they are talking over old times. But during the ensuing conversation Van Bomel continues writing in his little black notebook. His answi r to Hickey’s query is that he is working on the editorial staff of the New Republic and has to have an article in before midnight. The title of the article is “Russia’s Second Five-year Plan” or “Why, Oh, Why Did I Kver Leave Pawling?” Van tells him that besides writing for a living he has built up a sub- stantial business as a sideline, and with that he hands Hickey a pamphlet “Are von troubled with padding of the shoulders? Have the padding ripped from that new suit at Van’s—open twenty-three hours a day.” Then Hickey says lie is in the big city to deliver a speech at P. S. 1298 on the Plvsses Gyp Bug and the antitoxin to destroy it. If makes me smile with satisfaction to know that Bob, our great chem student and backfield man, has rid the Man- chester woods of such a contaminating germ. Suddenly the barking of dogs reverberates through the subway car, and immediately come three Great Danes into our midst, dragging Bruce Terrell behind them. As of old, Terrell’s jackets are stuffed with unopened letters, and as the dogs drag him on through the car. 1 catch the old, familiar oriental aroma that he always had among his letters at school. 1 hen the dogs give u lurch forward; Bruce loses his footing and pitches headlong into the next car. The subway vision suddenly disappears, and with the sound of shrieking sirens ringing in my ears, I slowly become conscious, only to hear a farmer s voice veiling and bawling intermittently, “Oh, my poor cows and chickens! These gol dinged air contraptions that flit about the sky just ain t fair to we taxpavin’ farmers. I’m agoin’ to complain to tin gov'ment. Mind you, 1 am, you young fly in’ divil!” Pick me up and lay me down if it isn't Bard Chestney, that honest, smiling lover of the soil! Without my having a chance to say anything to him. a small ambulance driver comes dashing ut , issuing orders. “Try to keep all the pieces together, boys.” I faint again as 1 recognize Charlie Ryder, a mere shadow of his former self. It is his first job in two years. In my unconsciousness I feel tin� ambulance skid around in a power turn and speed off. My last dream is of the tranquil melody of my memorable Alma Mater hymn. [92] AS WE ARE A PAWLING PEEP SHOW A DAY AT THE TRACK OR, WHEN I WAS AT GETTYSBURG A sunny day at the Annenberg M etnorial Truck. It Is a revolving stage; so llie whole field run be covered. As the curtain rises, ire see .Mu. Leathers in earnest conference with Jack Phillips, a new boy. Jack has a look of awe on h is face. Mr. Leathers. Xow, when 1 was at Gettysburg, we bad a balf-miler who was phenomenal, simply phenomenal. Phillips. Didn’t he have a last name? Mr. L. Don’t be funny, boy. As I was saying, this boy at Gettysburg could run the half mile in--------- Jimmy Wells (interrupting). I know, in 1 :55 Hat, and throw the javelin on the way. You told me that one four years ago. Mr. I.. Ah, Jimmy, there von are. I've been looking for you. I think I have a new event for you. You might try the pole vault. You look like a pole vaulter. Jimmy. But, sir, 1 tried the pole vault in 1933 and it didn’t work. Mr. L. Oh, so you did. Well, take a few laps, around eight, and go in. Don’t tire yourself, though. At this moment a shiny tan Packard sedan drives up to the truck. A footman opens the door, and Spencer Martin swaggers out. Spencer. Sorry I'm late, but Harvard just phoned about an increase in my scholarship. I couldn’t get away any sooner. Mr. L. That’s all right, Spencer, dear; hope you didn’t tire yourself out rush- ing. By the way, Spencer, 1 think I have a new event for you. You might try the pole vault. You look like a pole vaulter. Spencer. Sorry, Dovle; I tried the pole vault in ’35. And anyway, what with the 100, the 220, the quarter, half, and mile, I haven’t got much time to spare. Mr. Leathers suddenly falls to his knees, holding his head. Spencer. What’s the matter with you ? Park Morrison comes blustering in from the rear. Park. Oooooo, I’m sorry. I was on the other side of the track, putting the shot. I slipped, and the shot must have hit you. Mr. I., (recovering). That’s all right, Park. You're showing real promise. But I think I have a new event for you. You might try pole- M r.

Kroehlc [ 90 ] QUITE A MONSTER Sportswriters pick all-American teams; movie magnates choose all-star casts; jitterbugs dream of select orchestras. And now comes a model Pawling senior; a composite of all the distinct features and peculiarities of various Sixth Formers, molded into one body. Let us start with the head, and naturally with the top of the head. For the most outstanding crop of hair raised by a senior I nominate that of Jack Kuntz. Those little Fauntlerov curls have held many an underformer enthralled in speechless wonder. Jimmy Wells’s high, wide, and handsome forehead de- serves a place among the chosen. Have you ever taken a good look at Fish’s nose? Ah, there’s a nose to be proud of—long, Grecian, clear-cut—surely an outstanding feature. As for eyes —well, who can resist Randy Sides’s blue-eyed innocent stare? After all. Randy got through Plane only bv making eves at Mr. Reiter—a real triumph. Of course we can’t forget Jimmy Littwitz’s noble mouth. Those sensuous lips have charmed many a lass. Those pearly teeth have flashed many a time under bright electric lights’ glare. McCall's chins must surely be included, not only because of quality, but rather because of quantity. Johnny I.aValla’s bull- neck is more than admirable; it is almost enviable. In the least it ranks notice. And then getting down lower, we arrive at the prefects. Messrs. Mackie and Morrison tie for the shoulder honors. The former holds the edge on size, but the latter vies for pent-up strength and power. There is no question con- cerning Hickey’s massive chest. Nor concerning Gordon’s muscled stomach. Both must l e voted as supreme in their class. Coppins’s arms cannot be omitted. ears of lifting gallon and quart weights have developed amazing force and co- ordination. Stowell Baxter's delicate, white hands, with their long, sinuous fingers, are noteworthy. Now for the legs. It is an extremely difficult choice between Banzhaf, Sprague, and W aterman. Banzhaf has astounding height, Sprague astounding depth, and Waterman terrific breadth. Perhaps the weakest point on this all- star torso is the ankle. There is really no one with outstanding ankles. Frankly, I don't suppose it would mean much to anyone if he did have outstanding ankles. I m afraid that one boy must hold two positions on our team. This double-threat man is cherubic Sides, whose feet are really something. Not onlv are they immense, but they have a soul. If our Frankenstein is to bo efficient, it must certainly have Charier Ryder’s talents. Charlie has been postmaster a whole year and has never put on a stamp backwards or upside down yet. George Roeder’s basso profundo voice is effective, even if it is affected. Oh, there are many wonderful things that can lx listed: Chambers’s fatu- ous grin, Chestney’s unparalleled naivete. Cole's devastating wink, Ralph Fverett s love for really good music, Fisk’s gross intelligence, Gaunt’s pleasing smirk. Green’s impressive masculinity, Johnson’s interminable bullving, Lahev’s home run, Si MacDonald’s roommate, Maeklin's sense of humor, Page's caressing clarinet, Ierrclls fabulous lump-shade, an Bound's gorgeousness. 'I es, yes, it would be quite a monster. I shudder to think of it.
