CLASS HISTORY It is truly hard to express any sincere sentiments one might feel concerning one's graduating class without sounding rather mawkish. Yet, should any member of the Senior Class of 1939 declare his regard for and pride in his graduating class, he would indubitably be sincere in his utterances. For we, the class of 1939, feel that ours is the finest class that has left Pawling's halls in many and many a year. In 1935 Dave Armstrong was elected President of the third form. Through the advancing classes he continued as leader, climaxing his term as President and Senior Prefect of this year's class. No prefect group can be perfect, but Dave and his asso- ciates, Dede, Warner, A!, and Tommy, must certainly be congratulated for their ex- tremely fine leadership. The class of 1939 can boast of both brains and brawn. On the field of scholar- ship, we find such mental wizards as Tolies, Price, Valentine, and Hoyt. If we look more closely, we realize that strength has been added to the classes, not only by these honor students, but by many other boys whose need it was to work at capacity energy to gain passing, or simple honor grades. On the athletic field the class of '39 again shows its prowess. This year's excel- lent football team was motivated mainly by seniors under Captain Dede Wilson's guidance. Wallace and Cowan, ace swimmers, are in our ranks; Price and Paquin skated under the 1939 flag as well as the Red and Black one. Jake Pomeroy and Talcott, the baseball team's five-star battery, are seniors. Valentine, Potter, and O'Connell are only three of the many seniors who helped form the undefeated track team. Members of the class of 1939 formed the nucleus of almost every extra-curricu- lum activity in the school. Essertier and Heim were editors of the school's publica- tions, while Carr and Brecker proved able business managers. Bill Wallace, as chair- man of the dance committee, did a fine job in arranging the dances. Warner Armstrong and Julie Hoyt helped make the Pawling congress a notable debating organization. In the Glee club, in the band, and in the Business Organization, seniors proved themselves versatile and capable. The class of 1939 leaves Pawling's halls joyous in the sight of new fields of con- quest, but sad in the light of so many happy memories. We wish them luck, and we thank them for what they have done for Pawling. The Pawling School Page Twenty-three
