In 1938 when we were young and frightened, everything seemed very large and impressive: Mr. Temple and Mr. Hill completely overawed us: and the hope of making the varsity seemed a far-ofT ambi- tion. Now, though we are still scared of Mr. Temple and Mr. Hill, many of us have reached the varsity or at least the third team. I lal Enstice has excelled in all athletics in the past two years and reached the important positions of presi- dent of the Sixth Form and Senior Prefect. “Rebel Lewis, Gus Swartz, and Bob Failor are the holders of the coveted prefect positions with him. While Bob Beach from Oneonta acts as the class vice-president this year, Lewis is Senior Acolyte and takes care of the Guild which serves at the chapel. Norm Shethar worked his way up to be Editor of the Record-Scroll during his four years and also became Speaker of Congress. Bill Flagg and Joost Vas Dias have made names for themselves as outstanding scholars during the past two years, while Russ Houghton, all the way from Montana, has done wonderful work this year. Our first year, Tede Appleby was elected president and showed himself to be an outstanding athlete as well as extremely popular. The next year Gus Swartz and John Bramkamp were added to the group, each of them being good athletes as well as conscientious students. That was the year, also, that our tennis ace, Cal Gardi- nier, arrived at school. Bcrnie Kramarsky came then too, to amaze us all with his skill in plane geometry. Last year brought us such outstanding people as John Pastorfield, with of course, his drums, and Bob Beach with his fingers just itching to get hold of a piano. Mac McCormick also joined the class then, ready to get into any and all activities as well as to keep an honor standing. Pom Smith with his football, baseball, and tennis skill also joined the growing class, along with Howard Solomon with his managerial ability, and Piccoriak with his large bulk. This was the year also that brought Hal Enstice to Pawling. The mark he has made on the school has been deep and enduring. The feat of becoming captain of the football team as well as president of his class is remarkable. Chuck DcVinne with his ready wit and fine athletic ability was president ol the class that year and played on the foot- ball, baseball, and hockey teams. Thus through the years this class, which started in the third form with fifteen members, has now grown to its present size of thirty-three. Gradually the class has changed from a weak, rather frightened group of youngsters to what we consider to be one of the best senior classes that has ever gone from out Pawling’s portals. Each of us individually has been shaped and strengthened by the influence of the school and in turn has each of us left his mark, small though it may lie, on Pawling. page nine THE crJ( 1942 CHARLES J.

It isn’t often you find the head of the school Could be a popular candidate for renewal, For experience shows most generally, as a rule, That he’s been as stubborn as the proverbial mule, Or perhaps an unadulterated fool Who’s placed himself upon a gilded stool; It cannot be, but, Hal, we know that you'll Be always in there pitching for the school.

It flew around my room, dive-bombed me from all angles, flapped its ugly wings, and scared me half to death. Being flat on my back (in bed) I was unable to defend my- self from what I thought was a poisonous mankillcr. I reached for a chair and banged it on the floor hoping to attract some atten- tion. I yelled, I screamed, I fainted (with apologies to Caesar), and in this sleep of death what dreams might come did come. I saw myself in a large room attending the twenty-fifth reunion of the class of ’42 (Who would have thought that they would ever graduate?) Mac McCormick, the Williamsport politician, had arrived with his special trailer designed by Bob “Bcat-Mc-Daddy” Beach, which contained every boogie woogic record ever made. Norman Shethar the Free-Silver candidate for president in 1960, came and w’as con- stantly questioned by a reporter from the Mahwah Gazette, whose section was called “You do it, we know about it.” Joost Vas Dias flew over from England where he was prime minister in charge of Confederate flags and other trophies of little significance. Web Til- ton was driven up in his twenty-three cylinder Dusenberg and imme- diately started on his old chant, “Where’s King? Has anybody seen King?” Marion Lewis came, too. And by the way, it was heard from the ace reporter that Marion had a swimming pool in Ken- tucky filled with Bourbon (and they say drowning is a horrible death!). Stephen “Ace” Warner arrived after having spent his sabbatical in jail for dropping cherry bombs from the Empire State building. The government called him a fascist, communist, anar- chist, etc., but he told me he did it because he loved to hear the noise they made. After the formal speeches had been concluded, Don Nason, who made a fortune by teaching elocution in the Boston manner, informed the group that he was donating a special stairway from the top cor- ridor to the kitchen with master-proof construction so that hungry seniors might satiate themselves without being interrupted by faculty members who suffer from insomnia. Someone brought the sad news that Bob Davis had passed away from heart failure just after winning the Horseneck Jitterbug Contest. Dave sat in the corner finishing his fourth failure at book-writing; this masterpiece of misused rhetoric, called “Dr. Merkel and Mr. 1 lyde,” told about life in the Plattsburg training camps and what happened to a soldier once he arrived. At this point my reunion reveries were discontinued and I was transported by train (Harlem Division) to New York. The train was late as it always had been twenty-five years before. At Grand Central I met Bill Grilling who told me that he had just completed arrangements for moving Danbury to Pawling so that his son would not have so far to go when he took weekends (which were no doubt numerous unless Maxie kidded us in our youths about Mendel’s Law). Then I started to walk up Lexington Avenue (Fifth Avenue has been worn out by Pawling students writing class prophecies). Imagine my surprise when on 44th Street I saw-----no one. On 45th Street I also saw no one. On 46th Street I did see someone, but he wasn’t from Pawling and on top of that he didn’t graduate in ’42. Suddenly I heard a noise that half-awakened me. Maxie had come to my rescue. He chased the bat around the room and just as he was about to capture the beast he tripped on one of Pastorfield’s drum- sticks which had been left in my room. The bat got out of hand and again I fainted. So did Maxie, but only because he had hit his head on a chair. This time my unconscious mind gave me short snap- shots of the school day. 6:54—Pom wakes Cal. 6:55—Bell wakes school. 6:56—Alexander starts to talk. 7:15—Otto counts latenesses. 7:55—Wallace has a weed and does his preparation for the day’s classes. 8:00—Cha| el—Pom and Cal discuss the day’s English. 8:20—Wallace puts out weed, goes to first class. So docs rest of school, but not with so much enthusiasm. 11:07—Graham cracker lunch — a mad rush for the hardtack — Houghton knocks over Mr. Bacon and from the floor Bake in his sweetest tone shouts, “Only three, boys, or else!” 1:00—Rest period—Flagg memorizes the day’s newspaper. 1:20—Announcements—Mr. Page: “There arc 97 books missing from my library. Kindly report to me what page those who have them arc on.” —Alexander tinkles silverware—Paul tinkles Alexander. 2:00—Wallace has weeds—Failor and Miller discuss baseball and the history test they forgot to prepare for. 2:01—Pom looks for Cal. 2:03—Van Mater comes in with the latest news on •farm implements. 2:04—The Mailmen Suppes and Weir exchange tobacco. 2:06—Picciorak plays baseball with glass lamp shades. 2:07—Bramkamp tells Tolies one of his new jokes (the building quakes from their laughter). 3:30—Ensticc hits a homer and while running from second to third stops ofT to tell Gus Swartz how to throw the javelin. 4:05—Kramarsky thinks of Holland. 4:10—Thorne comes up to the tennis courts with racquet in one hand and a book on “What The Well Dressed Player Will Wear” in the other. 4:30—Wallace has weed. 5:00—Appleby and the boys go over the wall to take notes on the scenery. 5:03—The Tuck Shop is crowded with starving students who stock up just in case “Oscar ot The Waldorf” missed his train. Picciorak and Swartz continue their track practice with now sacred “Coke” bottles. 5:39—All quiet except for Mr. Leather’s corridor, where Houghton decides to give his room a complete powdering. Tempus Figits 11:00—All lights out—all asleep except for about 32 of the 33 seniors. (Funny how hard it is for Failor to keep awake at night). 11:05—Clarke starts his tour—he bumps into the Nason crowd and both go merrily away. (A. I. is having a big bridge match and he and Paul are too much in the hole to look for strays). 11:11—Mr. Chidsey, after finishing the tour quickly for them, sends the boys to bed. 11:37—Clarke starts tour No. 2. This time he is more careful. He doesn’t begin to yell till after he has slammed his door. However, he bumps in to Satch who has just come down for a satchel so that he can carry home his winnings. Back to bed for Clarke. 11:5()—Nason’s radio blows a tube and he misses the midnight news. 12:08—Things begin to get boring and 32 weary seniors prove to science that sleep has it merits. 12:09—Pom tucks Cal in. Again 1 awoke, this time to see Maxie firmly clutching the bat and laughing at me as I hid beneath the covers. It was quite a night!! All I can say is that in case you don’t know, “There is a difference between being bats and having bats.” page thirty-one THE S, o(( 1942 blames an J fjumbriof Jltf Nickname Ambition Can You Imagine Him Favorite Saying Future Occupation ALEXANDER Charlie To Be Quiet On Time (Censored) Gabriel APPLEBY Tedc Eli Culbertson A Mormon Gorsh!

Y., OCTOBER 8, 1011 NUMBER ONE Horace Eben Henderson Dies During Summer Was First Secretary Of Alumni Association Horace Eben Henderson, devoted friend and teacher of Pawling students since the founding of the school in 1007, passed away August 1, 1941, at his home here. He was 82 at the time of his death. The funeral service was conducted in the school chapel by Dr. Frederick Luther Gamage, headmaster emeritus and school chaplain, who had been his friend and co-worker for nearly fifty years. Mr. Henderson’s ashes were buried in Wiscasset, Maine, beside the bodies of his father and mother. He is sur- vived by a niece. His wife, Mrs. Annie Whidden Henderson, died in 1934. Mr. Henderson was born in Wiscasset, Maine, where he at- tended the public schools before enrolling in Bowdoin College from which he was graduated with honors in 1879. Thereafter he taught in the public school in Rath, Maine, for five years. From there he progressed to the princi- palship of the high school in Whitman, Massachusetts. When Dr. Gamage became headmaster of St. Paul’s School at Garden City, Long Island, Mr. (Continued on page 4) Pawling Opens Football Season With 20-0 Win Over Deerfield Pawling began its 1041 football season by defeating Deerfield Academy, 20 to 0, on the home field October 4. Pawling's first touchdown came on a long pass from Enstice to Miller in the end zone. Chuck Devinne pulling out of the guard position took a lateral from the quarterback and ran over for another touchdown. For the third score Enstice again threw a pass to Miller in the end zone. The first two extra points were successful, while the third failed. Pawling kicked off to Deerfield in the first half, the ball rolling over the goal line. Starting with the ball on his own 20 yard line, Deerfieldus fullback, Bill Rohr, brought the ball almost up to the midstripe on several reverses. At this point the visitors were stop- ped and after an exchange of punts Pawling had the ball on its own 30 yard line. Hal Enstice passed to Appleby for a first down, but on a fumble Deerfield recovered the ball. In the second quarter Enstice broke through the line for ten yards and Frank Waters on an end run ran the ball down to the Deerfield 40 yard line. Pawling lost five yards on an exchange of punts, but Enstice passed to Miller for the first down. In the second half Captain Enstice intercepted a pass and ran the ball back 40 yards, but the ball was called back on a penalty. Frank Waters made two first downs which brought the ball to the opponents’ 35. A line buck by Enstice and his pass to Appleby put the ball near the (Continued on page 3) NOTICE TO ALUMNI AND PARENTS November 8th has been select- ed as Alumni and Parents Day.

Student Association Marks 1941 Opening of Thirty-fifth Pawling School Year Associate Headmaster Resumes Work Here Alan Lake Chidsey was Head of Desert School This year Alan I ike Chidsey returns to the School as associate headmaster. After leaving his position at Pawling as an assist- ant to Mr. Shortlidge in 1937, Mr. Chidsey went to the Arizona Desert School where he held the position of headmaster. Mr. Chidsey was born at Easton, Pennsylvania, in 1904. He went to the local high school and from there to Union College. In his sophomore year the new associate headmaster was presi- dent of his class. He was on the Honor Court, which regulated the student government of the insti- tution, and ns a senior was on the Terrace Council. He belonged to the Alpha Delta Phi Frater- nity. As an athlete, Mr. Chidsey was outstanding, holding letters in football, basketball, track, and lacrosse. He was the first elected lacrosse captain at Union. In 1925 Mr. Chidsey was graduated with an A. B. degree: he received his M. A. in English at Harvard in 1928. From 1925 to 1927 he taught at (Contnued on page 3) New Plan Offers Training In Business Methods The problem of making school life more vital in preparing boys for the real work of the world is being met currently at Pawling by the Student Association. This association was begun three years ago. Its operation has heretofore been very limited. Last year, new items for the association were studied by the headmaster and several masters, some of whom, with trustees of the school, reviewed for adapt- ation the work of Junior Achieve- ment, Inc., a cooperative associa- tion of young people properly described as junior industry. Mr. Alan Chidsey has for many years studied this matter with Mr. Shortlidge. As part of his new work as associate head- master during the spring and summer he felt out the school for actual living courses in busi- ness methods and techniques, and os a result many school activities have now through the Student Association been integrated with the regular academic program. Tn this association the admin- istrative power is vested in a board of directors made up of the advisers in charge of each activity and the student heads of those activities. Mr. Neil Halkyard is in charge of the whole organization, which consists of several parts. The Arts and Crafts Production is an organization to create articles to be sold and to make supplies for other branches of the Student Association. It is an activity mainly for those artist- ically and mechanically inclined. Mr. John Corneal is the adviser of this club. The General Construction Pro- jects is an activity organized to do general construction work on the school property. ‘‘An organ- ization of this type,” Mr. Chidsey said, “fits in with the Student Association in that it is the ser- vice part of the whole organiza- tion.” (Continued on page 5) PAGE TWO THE PAWLING RECORD WEDNESDAY, OCT. 8, 1941 ©lip Paroling i rnirii Wednesday, October 8,1941 Published semi-monthly during the school year by the students of Pawling School, Pawling, N.

XI 28 The announcement that there will be voluntary chapel four nights a week for those who wish it is being received with great satisfaction by those who want, as Mr. Alan Chidsey said in explaining the decision in Chapel, “that period of silence and peace when they may put the house of their thoughts in order.” They are happy that the opportunity for such mental solitude is being offered to them. Churches have been places of refuge since ancient times. The Christians in early Rome fled from the persecutions of Nero to their secret meeting places, which, though not as impressive as later cathedrals, were equally successful in producing that peace of mind so restful to those leading a hunted existence. Even in Greece, before the days of Christ, there were roadside shrines dedicated to the various gods of the Greek religion where travelers could stop and worship. The Church prospered in times of stress because of the comfort it offered to those in dire need of it. In America today there are few who need refuge from physi- cal persecution, but owing to the added speed of life, we all need spiritual comfort. Though this is not such a painful need, it is just as real a one. The Chapel, that quiet spot of solace, is a perfect place to recondition one s mind. Since our Chapel offers us this wonderful opportunity, we are very happy to have it opened to us each evening. We hope that everyone will take advantage of this chance and be worthy of the Chapel. THE RECORDS POLICY A school newspaper, to justify j its existence, must fulfill two oh- j ligations. In the first place it must provide a record of the activ- ities of the community of which it is a part. This is so obvious a function of the school paper that | the second is often forgotten, or if not forgotten, neglected. If any school is to do its job thoroughly it must, in these days | when specialized skills are em- phasized, teach its boys to grapple successfully with the complex { demands made by a modem busi- ness or profession. A newspaper is a peculiar combination of these j two fields, and a school that puts] the production of its paper on a serious plane of effort is in a position to serve the ambitions of boys who see in actual news- paper work a chance for diver- sified experience. For this reason Pawling wishes to make clear its position in re- gard to The Record. The first and obvious function of (lie paper it hopes will be the natural result of the second, which is to teach the boys who come out for The Record how to run a newspaper; how to handle each variety of news reporting; how to write edi- torials; how to write headlines; how to get advertising and handle ! the books; how to organize all the departments of work into one efficient whole. To do this takes time. The j easier course would be to give; the paper over to a few capable students and let them do all the work. But to do so would be to! neglect the educative value men- tioned above. Followers of The Record this year will notice many instances of awkwardness. These will come from the pens of reporters who are working their way toward proficiency in newspaper writing. The important point to remember, however, is that each boy has been taught how to write that particular article; and that his article, when first done, has been gone over carefully with him so that he may know where he has done well and where he has not. The finished product will be his first draft with correc- tions made on it based on consul- tation with one of the editors or the faculty adviser. In short, each article will be the boy’s own work. The success of this policy can be determined only by the im- provement of The Record. The Record staff will be grateful for constructive comments from its readers. Let us hear from you. To Alumni and Other Devoted Friends of Pawling: Dear Hondo is gone. He slipped away from this world in his sleep August first last. He leaves with us a sense of the active mind and spirit that kept him in- tent on Maine, Republican hopes, Bowdoin, Britains fight for life, our school Congress, and you Alumni of Pawling. I had met Hondo before I came to Pawling, at an English confer- ence. He attached himself with affection to Mrs. Shortlidge and our family. Thanksgiving, Christ- mas Day, New Year’s he spent with us. Christmas morning brought poignant memories and loneliness. He would give to Mrs. Shortlidge some little keepsake that had been dear to Mrs. Hen- derson. Such moments and thoughts of you alumni were his life. A memorial service will be announced later to which every Pawling man within reach should come. A smile and a soft word will stir our hearts at Hondo's name. Mutations of time mark families and schools also for the living. Men grow in years and change to new settings. So it is with Jim Elliott, now retired. He typifies the high culture and gentlemanliness we seek for Pawling, and his spirit will re- main here in the scenes that he has enriched by his work and his personality. When I came to Pawling six years ago, Jim spoke of his possi- ble retirement in two years. That span has been multiplied by three to keep Jim active for six years. In the spring of 1940 my presenta- tion of the principles of the Founders Fun.l followed the lines that Jim and I had discussed to give satisfaction to him when re- tirement came. You alumni made your first response last year. He will live with his family in Chicago and in Florida, and ac- cepts in support the pension which he decided with me as proper for him. VVe expect him here at all times freely, and especially at alumni proceedings and reunions. The new faculty lists four re- placements, Mr. Bacon, Mr. Halk- yard, Mr. Page, Mr. Van Trawvcr, in connection with whom bio- graphical notes will appear in the next issue. Mr. and Mrs. Chidsey were in- troduced to the School last spring. They return after an absence of four years. I welcome Mr. Chid- sey into the very center of the energy and work of the school as my Associate Headmaster. To use his talents best, he and Mrs. Chidsey are in our old apart- ment. Mrs. Shortlidge and I have moved to Campbell Pines, which we will call The Pines. We will have room for you Alumni as our guests. Read The Record. Subscribe to it. Come to see the great condi- tion of the school today. Be here on November 8th for Alumni and Parents’ Day. My greetings to you. B. J. Shortlidge, Headmaster Voluntary Vespers Added To Regular Sendees At School Chapel In addition to the usual chapel services that have been held in the past, supplementary services arc to be conducted during the coming year, the Chapel Com- mittee announced recently. A regular Sunday service, at- tended by the whole school, will be held at five o’clock in the afternoon, and Wednesday ves- pers will be held, as in the past, after supper. In addition, brief voluntary vespers will be con- ducted on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday of each week. There will be a voluntary communion for all denominations on the first Sunday of each month. The purpose of this increased use of the chapel is to provide added opportunities for spiritual recreation. Mr. Alan Chidsey, who spoke on this subject to the boys in chapel Thursday night, September 25, said, “The projects which are to be part of the life of Pawling this year will require much energy; and when so much energy is expended, there is an even greater individual need of a time and place for quiet and repose.” WEDNESDAY, OCT. 8, 1941 THE PAWLING RECORD PAGE THREE Solid Grounding Purpose of New Second Form Academic and Social Stability Looked For An eighth grade, or second form, is being added to the upper four forms of the school this year, Alan Lake Chidscy announced recently. The purpose of this new form,” lie said, is to add effectiveness to his later years at Pawling by grounding each )k in the funda- mental approach to studies and other activities. Too many Ih vs come to a school like Pawling eager and willing to take a full part in the life around them only to find they must spend countless hours learning how to cope with diffi- culties that must he overcome before they can contribute effect- ively to the many fields of activities open to them.” Such a hurdle, Mr. Chidsey feels, is especially serious since it comes at a time when a hoy should he cleared of all basic handicaps and in a position to realize his full potentialities. All students entering the sec- ond form will he carefully analyzed and their program will he laid out primarily to ensure a solid background in the funda- mental subjects. A second advantage lies in the opportunity a second former will have to get his feet under him socially,” Mr. Chidsey said. When he enters the third form he will have learned how to get along with others and how to make his influence felt within the school.” MR. CHIDSEY (Continued from page 1) Choate and coached football there. After taking his M. A. he went to San Raphael, California, to teach at the Tamalpais School as head of the. English Department.

James Montague Elliott Retires from Teaching Instructed at Pawling Since its Founding James Montague Elliott, tire less and devoted friend of Pawl- ing, retired from teaching after last year’s academic season.

From that time to ills retirement he was Senior Master, stepping into the head- master's place in the latter’s absences from school. Mr. Elliott was head of the Mathematics Department, teaching Intermedi- ate Algebra, Advanced Algebra, .nd Trigonometry. Mr. Elliott was horn in Dublin, Eire, where he lived until coming to the United States where he ttended the University of Chi- cago. Following his graduation he taught in the Chicago schools.

Discipline System To Be On Group Basis A plan whereby each boy is placed in one of five groups on the basis of his record for the previous two weeks and granted privileges accordingly has been announced by Mr. Maynard Max- well, chairman of the Committee on Student Discipline. “Basically,” said Mr. Maxwell, tlio plan is intended to get away from any system of automatic penalties and to put in its place a flexible device for giving each ! oy the chance to earn privileges granted to the various groups.” The bi-weekly placements will he made by the above named committee on the basis of daily icport sheets handed in by the masters and including any mat- ter which should be brought to ihe attention of the headmaster. These items will mention all instances alxive or below' what is normally expected of a Pawling boy. After the headmaster has taken care of each case brought :o him, the reports will be filed and serve as the basis for the committee’s decisions. “Each hoy’s academic standing as well as his record of citizen- ship will he considered,’’ said Mr. Maxwell. In this way lie will be carefully evaluated at the end of each bi-weekly period and rewarded for his work according- ly. The hoy who has put his best effort into his work will in this way he assured of recogni- tion. There will he five groups, thus assuring a sensitive measure- ment of ihe indi idual’s progress. Boys who are unwilling or unable to fit in with such a •lexible plan will not be grouped •nit will be put under the super- vision of Mr. Alan Chidsey, who will deal with them individually.

TUK PAWLING RKCORD WEDNESDAY, OCT. 8, 1941 PAGE I OCR Economic Consequences of War Debated in (Wake up America” Dr. Alfred Haake and former Governor of Wisconsin Philip F. La Folletto were the leading figures in a radio debate on the economic consequences of Ameri- ca's direct participation in the war the afternoon of September 28 in the bam of Mr. Lowell Thomas at Quaker Hill. The program was the first of a series entitled “Wake Up, America, which is presented by ihe American Economic Founda- tion. Tried first as a quiz pro- gram a year ago over local net- works, it has since risen steadily to its present position of a coast-to-coast broadcast. “This program,” said Mr. Fred G. Clark, moderator, “is an informal debate such as is often conducted anywhere in the country, and represents the feelings of the average American about the question. This is the purpose of these broadcasts and there will be many famous people to repre- sent each field discussed. After an introduction by Mr. Thomas each speaker briefly defined his position regarding the subject. The Hon.

After these statements the two opponents asked questions of each other which, according to Mr. Clark, were designed “to unhorse the other. This was carried on for half an hour. Then the audience asked questions and that part of the radio audience which lived in the vicinity of Hartford, Connecticut, phoned in questions to put to one or the other of the debaters. Perhaps the best question of this sort was ' submitted by Mr. John Corneal, arts and crafts master at Pawl- ing, who asked Dr. Haake how he proposed to make American labor work longer hours for less pay as I)r. Haake had stated was necessary in answer to a pre- vious question. He thought that such action should come from the leaders of labor themselves. CLARKS’ ELECTRICAL SHOP Phone Pawling 4021 PAWLING, N.

They streamed into the little metropo- lis by train and automobile. At Fisher s Triangle two ambulances were stationed to treat the sick and wounded. The town’s Home Guard was enforcing martial law and the Pawling School was housing the unfortunate victims of the bombed city. No, this is not fiction, it actual- ly did take place, but New York City was not bombed and people were not injured. The whole show was staged by the Red Cross to prepare this community and others like it to be ready and competent in time of emergency to use its resources in aiding those stricken. People from all over Dutchess County participated in this real- istic evacuation. Most pietur� esque were the wounded in their bandages and mercurochrome- splotched skin resembling open wounds. Our school served as a hospital and place of refuge for this mock retreat. A two-way radio set was put into use in the telephone room from which the leaders kept in close contact with Pough- keepsie, the headquarters city. STUDENT ASSOCIATION (Continued from page 1) The Musical Clubs consist of an orchestra, a band, a glee club, and a choir, conducted by Mr. Jay Van Trawver. These groups will give concerts both inside and outside the school. Mr. Norval Bacon is adviser of The Record and The Scroll. These publications support themselves by advertisements and subscrip- tions. The student store includes the Tuck Shop, which supplies the boys with refreshments; the l ook and stationery store; the clothing and athletic equipment store; and a shop selling the products of the Arts and Crafts Production. Mr. Hutchins is in charge of the Tuck Shop, while Mr. Reiter is the faculty adviser of the other three departments of the store. The latter is also in charge of the electricity of the theatre. The theatre is to be built and maint.fined by those interested in dramatics in conjunction with the Arts and Crafts Production and j General Construction Projects. Mr. Thomas Page will direct all theatre construction. The theatre, on being completed, will house the dramatics produc- tions under the direction of Mr. Alan Chidsey. It will also pro- vide space for the Musical Clubs. On being asked how the Student Association courses correlate with this plan. Mr. Chidsey answered. “Boys who are going either to business college or to no college can take a large part of these courses during their years at Pawling. They are purely elec- tive except for those boys trying to enter the accounting depart- ments of the association, who will have to take an accounting course. The Student Association is not a play thing,” he said. It is a serious attempt to run a business according to sound, modern methods. Participants in the plan will be selected on the basis of their ability to produce. There will be no room for any boy who looks upon it as a pleasant way to pass the time. Each activity will be under the supervision of a man trained in his special field.” Forms Distributed Vertically in Cluett Vertical distribution of the five forms will serve ns the basis of room assignment in Cluett for the current school year. North of the central staircase on the second and third floors will live sixth and fifth formers; south of this point will live the fourth, third, and second formers. On the fourth floor will Ik the rooms of fifteen of the graduating sixth formers. This plan will make possible a more harmonious distri- bution of age levels while at the same time affording con- venient divisions of the student body from an administrative and athletic standpoint. The second floor third formers will be able to compete in intra mural activities with a similar group from the third floor. Thus the advantages of separate dormitory units can be combined with the comradeship made possible by living within one building.

Redecoration Adds New Color to School The last year’s student coming back to school was greeted by several refreshing alterations in the interior decoration of the school. Rooms have been rear- ranged, partitions have been put up and partitions tom down, and a practically new assortment of executive rooms and offices has resulted. The masters’ smoking room has been moved diagonally across the hall and enlivened by signs of the Zodiac on opposite walls. What was last year the mas- ters room has been converted into a combination reception room and headmaster’s office. Mr. and Mrs. Shortlidge have added many pieces of their own furni- ture to make this room attractive and hospitable. A former school room has been converted into two offices for Mr. Chidsev and for Mr. Shortlidge’s secretary. Some radical changes have also been effected in the basement. What was originally the Record room has become the business office, and what was originally the Fifth Form smoking room has I become the Record room. The aspect of the Tuck Shop has changed completely; what was once one big room is now three little ones, the Tuck Shop, a conference room, and the school supply store. The Tuck Shop is now decorated around the walls with the emblems of Pawling School competitors. The colors of the new offices are a soft green and a warm brown, while the Tuck Shop and Store are gaily bedecked with a 1 red and black color scheme. New character has been added to the dining room by giving the walls a coat of becoming rich blue paint. All this decoration has added liveliness to the school.

Building Crew at Work on Theatre Project New Stage Being Added To Remodeled Cottage Work for carpenters, excava- tors, masons, and electricians is available in the remodeling pro- ject which is to turn the cottage, lying between the gymnasium and Barstow, into a theatre to house The Pawling Dramatics Club. Mr. Thomas Page is in charge of this work, aided by Mr. John Corneal and Mr. Herbert Hutchins. Efforts are being directed at present to the task of adding on to the south end of the building a stage with an excavated foun- dation. Difficulties were met from the start. A large cable was found when the excavation work began and great care had to be taken not to disturb it with picks and shovels. Peter Coit, Walter Cohn, and Bernard Kramarsky were assigned to this work alone. The drain from the building was encountered and to Tom Prior went the work of seeing that all its connections were made. Perhaps the hardest work came when the driveway behind the cottage had to be excavated. Be- ing of deep and solid construc- tion, it resisted all but the hard- est blows of the pick axe. Once the digging had been completed, work began on the foundations to support the stage (Continued on page 2) Varied Program Open to Pawling Alumni In Fall and Winter Meetings Here First Team Victorious Over Milford, Hopkins All Squad Members Share In Undefeated Season Pawling kept its winning streak intact by defeating Milford 20-0 on the losers field October 11. Ted Appleby was on the receiv- ing end of two scoring passes, while Frank Waters scored the third touchdown on an end run. The work of Gus Swartz, Chuck DeVinne, and Ted Appleby was outstanding in the line, while in the backfield Ilal Enstice’s pass- ing and George Larkin’s blocking 1 aved the way for the scoring touchdowns. Pawling 19, Hopkins 6 .All l oys on the Pawling foot- ball squad shared in the 19-6 victory over Hopkins Grammar School in a game played October 18 in New Haven. In the second period Pawling overcame the edge that Hopkins held in the first quarter to score on a series of plays beginning with a long runback by Frank Waters, who completed the march down the field with the first touchdown. Thereafter Pawl- ing had control of the game. Subsequent scores were made by Hal Enstice and Irving Waters. Stephenson made the Hopkins touchdown in the third period. The tackles on the Pawling line, Ted Pieciorak and Westi Hansen, proved their worth by repeatedly stopping Hopkins’ line plays. Peter Tolies held the center of the line with skill and power throughout the game. The Pawling substitutions were: Waters, I; Clarke, Nason, Kirch- maier, Gosling, Beach, Pastor- field, Oler, Bramkamp, Karpas, Kuyk, Davis, Thorne, Fisk, and Dwarken. Associations to Establish Alumni Scholarships Graduates of Pawling will be brought together frequently in the present school year through a wide program of alumni activity. Their first meeting will he on November 8, 1941, when alumni and parents’ day is to be part of the fall program. The visitors will see the game with Berkshire, which will be followed by a tea dance. Both alumni and boys will take part in this dance. Al- though alumni from a very great distance are not expected to at- tend this day’s activities, the at- tendance has always been large. A more important occasion, however, will take place over the weekend of January the third and fourth. At this time the school will be closed for the Christmas holidays. It is designed to sup- plement the New York alumni dinner which has been held every year in the past. As it will be the most important reunion of the year, an attendance of over a hundred is hoped for. Alumni from more distant points arc urged to attend. A number of different activities will be in- dulged in. Informal sports and games will he held on the after- noon of Saturday, January 3. The erstwhile members of our school will be able to recall their day on the bench as they compete with each other in basketball, ice hock- ey, and other sports of that season. R is hoped they will be able to do full justice to the ban- quet which will be held that evening after having taken part in these strenuous activities. After the banquet they will have a chance to settle down and talk of the old times, the present and the future with the members of the faculty. On the morning of Sunday, January 4, there will be a chapel service conducted by Dr. Luther Gamage.

Jr. Record Combined With School Year-Book An experimental step involving the merger of The Pawling Record, I he Pawling School paper, with The Scroll, the year book of the school, is being put into effect this year. In this experiment there will doubtless be certain shortcomings which the editors will gladly acknowledge. It is to be hoped, however, that the ad- vantages of the scheme will out- weigh the weaknesses. Perhaps the most important outcome will be the improvement in The Record. The finances that will be available according to the plan will allow the paper to spread out and cover more com- pletely, both with cuts and with more thorough articles, the events of importance which hike place within the school and its en- virons. Along with the improvement of the school paper will be the added educational value of a bigger and more business-like Record. The covering of such a largo variety of articles as will be offered in a newspaper devoted to giving a vivid picture of the whole life of the school will offer a wider scope of actual experi- ence in all kinds of newspaper work than is possible when a large share of work in the spring term must he devoted to a year- book. With the experience gained the writers will get a better chance to show their merit in writing a full account of the year's progress from beginning to end. An ac- j count of the school’s progress j written once every two weeks will he much more readable and lively than an article written after the whole year has passed by, when the verve and excite- ment of the time have fallen into a dormant state. Those cuts and accounts which are traditional to the Scroll will he placed in sup- plementary pages of The Record. For example, this edition's sup- plement page is devoted to the masters of the school. Another advantage of the new system is the possible increase in the revenue derived from adver- tising. Since the space placed in The Record will automatically go in The Scroll,the companies will be much more likely to offer their advertisements. In connection with this, it is hoped that alumni, on receiving a superior Record, will he more inclined to send their subscriptions in support of The Record-Scroll. OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL The Record Board is happy to see such a well balanced program of activities as that being offered to Pawling students this year. It is safe to say that any hoy can find an outlet for his energies and talents in the various oppor- tunities for work here at the school. These opportunities are not restricted to sports alone. This year, as was pointed out in the Inst edition of The Record, the extra-curricular activities have been arranged under one business management in the body of the Pawling School Student Association. The different branches of this profit-making enterprise carry on their work mainly during the period from 5.10 to 6:10 P. M. That hour is devoted solely to work necessary to he done on an activity. This improvement is noted in the mor- ale of the various groups as well as in the results obtained, which is gratifying to all who are inter- ested in the school. The groups which require the most time are allotted three evenings a week in which to work and gain experience. The greater part of the organizations needs only two evenings of work spent on them. With this system in effect the boys have time to j devote themselves to the things which they enjoy and for which they are adapted, and as a result the activities prosper. The editors of The Record take the opportun- ity to express their satisfaction with this condition. 26 Mr. and Mrs. Horatio Smith of New York have announced the marriage of their daughter, Eliza, to Donald Lowdon Bryant, New York and Huntington, L.

For this purpose a quantity of large cement blocks were cut in halves or broken into small pieces. Willard Had- ley and David Spencer did the cutting, while Tom Prior and Boh DuBois broke other pieces into the desired sizes. Dick Thayer, foreman of the project, in commenting on the excavation, said, “In the face of the difficulties we met, we were lucky to finish with our digging before the ground froze. The cementing of the foundation is being started this week, and if all goes well we should soon be on the carpentering end of the work.” The building of the theatre is a part of the program being developed by the Student Asso- ciation. Dick Thayer is being helped by Dave Wallace, time keeper, who is accounting for all time spent by each worker. The estimated cost is $350 for remodeling the building.

PAGE FOUR THE PAWLING RECORD WEDNESDAY, OCT. 22, 1011 The Prefects Each spring five Pawling Fifth Formers are elected Senior Pre- fects to take office when they return to the school in the fall. Assuming the responsibilities of prefect this year are Harold J. Enstice, Robert D. Failor, Marion W. Lewis, Pomeroy Smith, and Guthrie R. Swartz. Since the Senior Prefects are in large part responsible for the discipline and working of the school, their position at Pawling is traditionally one of high honor. They are distributed throughout Cluett to help the masters in showing each boy the way to effective work in the life at Pawl- ing; and from their close contact with the whole student body they are invaluable to the headmaster and the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs in making de- cisions connected with student discipline. Since it is assumed that all pre- fects represent the highest stand- ards of The Pawling School, they are exempt from the bi-weekly group ratings which apply to the rest of the student body. ANNOUNCEMENT The Record takes pleasure in announcing the appointment of Howard Solomon and Wil- liam Smith to the business staff.

Their op- ponents, The Greer School, took advantage of two Pawling fum- bles and went over the double stripe for the only score of the game early in the first period. The game started badly for the home team as Greer kicked off to Pawling, which tried a trick reverse, fumbled and then re- covered. However, on the next play Pawling again fumbled and this time lost the ball. Taking advantage of these errors, Greer soon made a touchdown. Greer kicked off again to Pawl- ing. Fullback Charlie Alexander made a thrilling 30 yard run- back, but the down field march was stopped by the visitors. The next period was all Pawl- ing's. Bob Hallock was the spearhead of the attack, plung- | ing for several gains through tackle. The third quarter showed a marked determination on Pawl- ing’s part to score, but the strong Greer defense held. The beginning of the final quarter found Greer in possession of the ball. After intercepting a Forms 6 and 4 Lead School in Group Ratings pass, Johnny Landers gained two i first downs on line bucks.

Y., NOVEMBER 5, 1941 NUMBER THREE Neutrality Act Subject Of Congress Debate Discussion Group Founded By Horace E. Henderson “Should the United States re- peal the Neutrality Act and risk involvement in the European conflict? This topic was discus- sed by the Pawling School Con-1 gress in its first debate of the | 1941-42 season. Congress meets. each Monday at 5:15 in the Bar- j stow Library to debate questions' vitally significant in present, world affairs. The Affirmative was ably de- fended by Norman Shethar and William Hunt, while the Nega- tive side of the question was re- sourcefully presented by Marion Lewis and Ernest Greeff. Speak- ing first, Hunt showed that American citizens were in danger when they were compelled to travel on foreign ships in the war zone. To combat this state- ment Lewis pointed out that the Neutrality Act was saving Ameri- can lives by keeping us out of a shooting war. Then Shethar took up the Affirmative attack, saying that public opinion is in favor of repeal and that the act should be repealed so that the war would end sooner in a favor- able decision. Greeff finished by advocating that America should increase our aid to Britain and build a defense wall around this country. The debate was conducted on an informal basis and at its con- clusion Mr. Paul Temple, chair- man and faculty adviser, and the other members asked questions of the debaters. Oldest Pawling Activity Congress is an activity which Mr. Horace Henderson organized during the school’s first year. It is the oldest activity in Pawling and as such has one of the strong- est traditions. Mr. Henderson conducted a similar organization at St. Paul’s School in Garden City and conceived the basis for its organization there. Mr. Hen- derson then continued to preside over the organization with ex- ceptional results until the time of (Continued on page 6) ALUMNI DAY PROGRAM 12:00 Memorial Service for Mr. Henderson. 2:30 Football game with Berkshire 4:00 Tea Dance 4:45 Glee club concert 7:00 Buffet supper Shop Workers Produce Wood and Metal Articles Cabinets, bridge lamps, com- bination tables, metal articles are rolling olT the production lines of Arts and Crafts Production, a branch of the Student Association working under Mr. John Corneal in the wood and metal shops of Barstow. This group is working under a basic plan to supply an income for the boys working in this group, and to increase the value of the Association certifi- cates. The workers are divided into two groups on a basis of skill, and organized on efficient business lines. The whole project has its own student directors and super- visors. Bartow Fisk has the job of foreman; it is his duty to help, supervise, and govern the work of the group. Assisting him in this job is Hampton Kirchmaier, who is also time clerk; it is he who keeps track of the working hours of each boy. Irving Waters is the head designer and it is through him that the group re- ceives its new ideas and projects. Robert Hallock, the group’s artist, is assisting him at this job; the ideas and drawings of these two form the basis of all the work done by the boys. Varied Articles for Sale So far the metal craft workers have made a profit of $17 by making and initialing napkin rings of german silver for the students. At the present time this profit will help to purchase supplies. The work is varied and consists of furniture, metal work, leather craft, interior decoration, and costume design for the dramatics club.

For their entertain- ment there will be a football game between Pawling and Berk- shire, after which there will be a tea dance. Mr. James Elliott, in- structor at Pawling from its founding until 1941, will be at the school all day to welcome the alumni. At twelve noon a mem- orial service will be held in remembrance of Mr. Horace Hen- derson. During the day the school schedule will be in full motion. All parts of the school will be open to the visitors, and masters and boys alike will be anxious tc discuss any questions that might be asked concerning their particular activity. They want the almuni and parents to know exactly what is going on during the school year. For those inter- ested in dramatics, Charles De- Vi nne will be available to answer questions concerning the produc- tion of “You Can’t Take It with You.” Bartow Fisk and Irving Waters have all information about the progress of the shop. All activities of the glee club, the orchestra, and the choir can be explained by Howard Solomon and James Spurr. The work being done by the Student Asso- ciation will be outlined by Wil- liam Griffing. News of current debates in Congress can be had from Norman Shethar, who also, as editor-in-chief of The Record, has all information concerning the newspaper.

With the game resulting in a tie. Pawling has yet to be defeated by a preparatory school team in two years. The rain and the slippery' con- dition of the field greatly slowed down the offensive of both teams. Although Pawling was most ef- fective in the air and Hotchkiss on the ground, Hotchkiss scored on a pass and Pawling on its running attack. The only com- pleted pass by Captain Brown of Hotchkiss resulted in six points for the home team, while the try for extra point was blocked by Pawling. Frank Waters for Pawl- ing ran 30 yards along the side- line to cross the goal line and tie the score. Captain Hal Enstice’s kick missed the crosspiece by inches only. A 55 yard runback of a Pawl- ing punt put Hotchkiss within scoring distance and several plays later made good their threat by a long pass. Pawling started the second quarter by a double re- verse with Enstice throwing a long pass to Larkin who picked up several yards after the catch. After several plays by Hotchkiss, Pawling recovered a fumble on the Hotchkiss 40 yard line. Sur- rounded by two men, Arthur Mil- ler snagged a pass which gained 20 yards. Then Waters went around end and scored Pawling’s touchdown. At the end of the first half Waters faked a pass and gained 25 yards; however, the play was called back for an off-side penalty. The second half was almost completely dominated by Pawl- ing. Larkin intercepted a Hotch- kiss pass on their 40 yard line. Pawling took to the air again with Enstice passing to Miller for a gain of 25 yards. Later Apple- by completed a fifteen yard pass.

Bacon, Jr. A Point of View Toward Preparedness The school year begins with “preparedness” foremost in the mind and on the lips of the nation. Many have been called to the colors, some are giving their services to the many organ- izations designed to relieve hu- man suffering, and still others have placed themselves On Call for any job that will he of aid to our country. This is a time of great emergency. An emergency is generally as- sociated with the mad dash of ambulances, fire engines and police care,—so closely, in fact, that people’s thoughts frequently race in much the same manner. They have direction, but they violate all the laws of thought- ful direction involving safety, respect for others, and a sense of sound values and proportion. There is nothing more fruitless and devastating than the picture of a fire engine's successful run to put out a fire that represents dollars—but a run that leaves in its wake a car overturned and persons injured or killed. The return of the firemen must reflect a very sorry mood. An emergency does not call for the suspension of all that is normal and a sudden dash into heroics. An emergency calls for throwing the normal machine into high geared efficiency,—for work and more work, so that one man can do the job of two and thus release the second man for service in the fields newly created by the emergency. This is the first concern of an emergency, hut there is still another of equal, perhaps greater importance. What happens when the emergency is over? Success- fully or unsuccessfully met, there is always rebuilding, physical, mental and spiritual rebuilding to he done. One can he keyed to meet an emergency, hut once over the fatigued spirit rises out of the devastation and rebuilds more strongly only if the dullness cf hard, unheroic work has be- come a lustrous tradition, bom of courage and thoughtful prep- aration in times both normal and otherwise. Undoubtedly some people feel that Pawling should offer mili- tary training, but it is our con- viction that we should play a more difficult role in prepared- ness. It is our job to put our extra energies into building a greater reverence for hard, often uninspiring work hv driving harder at our normal tasks and those small tasks we arc asked to do, and into building a great- er reverence for principles of self-control and service by living these principles harder. Ours is not to answer the luring winks of heroics. For, in an emergency or in the reconstruction that inevitably fol- lows, is there a more desirable from of preparedness than a rev- erence for hard work, self-con- trol and service? Only one man can carry the flag; the rest must walk behind to support it. DON'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED In this day and age in which we live, too many of the common- place articles which we use and consume every day are taken a great deal too much for granted. Think of the amount of food which has to be brought to the school every day to fill the ravenous mouths of approximate- ly one hundred and forty people. Pounds of butter, tens of loaves of bread, whole sides of beef, and bushels of potatoes are consumed in one average lunch. Trucks must bring all that produce to a distributor from the farmer in the country. From the distribu- tor all the food must be brought to the school where the chef has to cook immense quantities of all the different articles on the menu. Suppose that one of these ship- ments were wrecked on the way! Fortunately, in this modem era civilization is so advanced that another truck would immediately (Continued on page 5) Alumttt Sfauia Coulter Dabney Young lv been transferred from Atlanta, Dies in New York Georgia, to Jacksonville, Florida.

Yale Frosh Seconds End Pawling Winning Streak By 16-0 Victory Pawling lost I lie first game in its last ten starts to a superior Yalo second freshman team 16-0 Friday, October 24, on the home gridiron. Yale scored its first touchdown in the initial quarter when Wil- kie plunged through the Pawling line. He repeated this perfor- mance in the third quarter. Frank Waters was tackled be- hind his own goal line for a touchdown which gave the visi- tors two points. Wilkie kicked two successful place kicks for Yale’s extra points. Although Pawling was unable to score, the home team had a powerful but often erratic offen- sive. The most spectacular play of the afternoon was a 40 yard pass by Enstice to Appleby who deftly dodged three tacklers and ran to the Yale ten yard line; however, it was called back for offsides. In the second quarter Irving Waters intercepted a Yale pass and gained 20 yards along the side line. Twice Pawling put up a stiff resistance on the goal line that resulted in Yale's failure to score. Pawling’s two ends, Ted Appleby and Arthur Miller, were import- ant. in stopping Yale’s end-run plays. Don Nason, playing right tackle, and halfback Frank Waters, were consistently tack- ling hard. Protecting Pawling runners, Bob l'ailor was instru- mental in warding off Yale tacklers. Pawling substitutes were: i. Waters, Nason, Clark, Dwarken, and Bramkamp. Compliments of E. M. KANDELL Dutchess Pharmacy Pawling, N. Y. Fiction Library Established by Mr. Page To furnish the school with an added supply of good fiction, Mr. Thomas Page of the English De- partment has established from his own hooks a library in his apartment. Mr. Albert Hill also has contributed from his own collection, and a number of boys have brought to the library books which they thought would add interest to those already avail- able. When Mr. Page was asked why he thought this type of library was a necessary thing in every- day life, ho said, “Through the informal reading of good, inter- esting books in a single year you can become intimate with more, able men than you will probably meet in person during your whole life. It is a wise fellow, therefore, who makes book read- ing a habit. We need more, read- able Itooks here, and we need to have them handy.” So far there are over five hun- dred books ready to be taken out The library contains a wide variety of material ranging from 'Borneo and Juliet” to Dr. Dog- body’s Leg.” There is still need, however, of more books by authors especially popular among readers of this age: Masefield, Stevens, Roberts, Kipling, Gals- worthy, O'Neil, O. Henry, Pyle, Mark Twain, and Forester. Anybody may take out a book from the library. The only restriction is that it be returned by the end of two weeks in the same condition as when taken out. Books may be taken out from 2 to 3 P. M. and from 9 to 10 P. M. RANZIE . . . The Barber At The School EVERY THURSDAY Hours 10 to 3:30 Mr. Elliott, who retired last spring from teaching, arrived on October 31 to stay with Mr. and Mrs. Reiter until November 9. We want to offer him in behalf of the school a most hearty welcome. If Mrs. Chidsey, Mrs. Maxwell, or Mrs. Bacon ask you to let them practice bandaging your arm, or you find Mi’s. Munger making your bed, please bear with them for they are just doing their homework for the local Red Cross classes. The Intra-mural Activities Com- mittee, under the leadership of Mr. Ernest Reiter, is planning a touch football schedule to be played during the interval be- tween the end of the fall season and the active start of the win- ter season. The groups to take part in this competition will be divided into corridor groups of corresponding ages. We hope that inter-corridor rivalry leads to no murder, but we’ll stick up for the criminal if it does. The Pawling School Student Association, directed by Mr. Neal llalkyard, has been discussing the basis on which salaries will he paid to the various branches of the Association. Proposals as to the fixing of these wages have been made and debated, but the concrete result has not yet been decided upon. The prospects for making the Association into a fullfledged, efficient, and practical business organization now look more favorable than ever. Certain legal items must be cleared up, however, before the final organi- zation takes place. Members of the school this year come from fourteen different states: Connecticut, Illinois, Ken- tucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsyl- vania, Rhode Island. New Y’ork has the largest number with thirty-one different towns and cities represented.

Through the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Chidsey the party was held in their apart- ment. All the faculty and ap- proximately fifty members of the student body were invited to the festivity, which started at nine- fifteen, the remainder of the school being asked to come at 10 o’clock when the football team, which was scheduled to play Hotchkiss the following day, was forced to retire. The Chidsevs apartment was adorned in crepe paper, and de- corated with pumpkins, paper lanterns, skeletons and spindly decorations suspended from the ceiling, and balloons galore. The victrola, which Mr. Page contri- buted to the occasion, kept the party rolling with a continuous stream of swing music. The dining room presented almost in- surmountable quantities of food: cider, coca-colas, sandwiches, doughnuts, cakes, and numerous bon-bons. Food and soft drinks poured abundantly from the kitchen. Eating was not the only activi- ty available. For those not afraid of a ducking there was an apple-hohhing contest; such was the forethought of the hosts that towels were provided. Equally popular was a contest in which two opponents chewed their way along a piece of string to a marshmallow suspended in the center. In many instances this became a butting contest when one contestant or the other came near the goal. The lack of girls was partly compensated for by Howard Solo- mon and James Spurr, who ap- pealed dressed in the best Holly- wood manner.

Pawling struck again when Brockic snagged a Greer pass and raced 70 yards for six more points for Pawling. Bob Hal lock made the extra point. The score at the end of the half, Pawling 13, Greer 0. The Pawling lead was enjoyed for only a short while. Greer came back in the last half to tie the score and in the last second of play blocked a Pawling kick and recovered to win the game. PAWLING 7, SOUTH KENT 7 Making a strong comeback after an unsuccessful start, the Pawling thirds gained an early lead of seven points over their heavier South Kent opponents on the Pawling field October 23. The game was hard fought all the way with Pawling holding the advantage until the final period when South Kent, on a sustained drive, managed to place the pig- skin over the double stripe; the extra point tied the game. Outstanding for Pawling were Bob Hallock, who made all of Pawling’s points; Johnny Land- ers, doing a great job in backing up the line; Capt.

If that truck were also delayed, however, think of the hunger and the complete dislocation of our lives that would result. As a matter of fact no such occurrence is now in the range of probability. This is just one sample of the many facts which we take for granted when we indulge in our everyday grumbling. When we complain about the need of pen- cil leads in the store, let us re- member that the graphite must be mined in some distant hole in the ground, taken to a refinery of some type where it is alloyed with the other substances to be made into the mixture which is used for pencil lead, and finally shaped in a factory into the proper diameter and length. Then it is packed in the intricate cases in which we sec it and shipped to a wholesaler. From that indi- vidual the officials of the store purchase and receive the leads and then sell them to the student buyers. Since metals of all sorts are bfang used in fantastic quan- tities by the government in its defense project, the available sup- ply has dwindled and miners and manufacturers are doing their best to increase the output capa- city to meet the demands of a government boom and of a cor- responding boom in all private consumption. Complaining, though it is ad- mittedly a fascinating sport, is not a good policy to use. It immediately marks the speaker as thoughtless, since all he has considered is his own inconven- ience. Others probably feel the brunt of that inconvenience a great deal more than he does. Complaining is the direct result of taking too many things too much for granted. PAGE FIVE rehearsal.

The main point of the Affirmative was that it would be better for Ameri- ca to enter the war now than to wait for it to come; whereas the Negatives argument was that America would do better to mind her own defenses and not enter a war to save her shrinking world trade. Joost Vas Dias, the first speak- er for the Affirmative, said, “If the United States does not make sure of Germany's defeat by entering the war against her now, she will be reduced to an im- poverished, third-rate nation by an aggressive Reich with tre- mendous industrial potentiality. Replying for the Negative, Will- iam Flagg stated, “The United States has no reason to get into a disastrous war to save her com-1 paratively small foreign trade. Besides, she would gain nothing because the peace conference would be controlled by the embit- tered allies. Thus the same chaos would result here as did after the last war.’’ (Continued on page 5) Red and Black Downs Berkshire Team 38-6 Alumni and Parents See Spectacular Final Game The Pawling football team ended a successful season as it downed the Berkshire eleven by the score of 38-6 on the home field before visiting alumni on Novem- ber 8. Throughout the game Pawling kept the upper hand by a series of varied and skillfully executed plays. Hal Enstice and Frank Waters both starred in the first quarter by running the ball over the goal line to start the scoring. At various intervals Mr. Halkyard, head coach, sent in the second team. Each touchdown was made by a different player with Frank Waters, Hal Enstice, Chuck De- (Continued on page 5) 60 Pawling Graduates Return for Alumni Day Record Number Attends Annual Fall Program On November 8 the alumni and the parents of the boys in school visited Pawling again to see all the activities about which they had read. After viewing the new arrangements of the administra- tion rooms, the new color of the dining room, the arrangement of the Tuck Shop and the store, and the accomplishments of the Stu- dent Association, the guests chat- ted with the members of the faculty. Those who had known Mr. Horace Henderson then put aside the pleasures of the day to pay their last respects to him in a memorial service in the chapel. After lunch the visitors hur- ried down to the football field to secure good seats and to hear from the students all about the wonders of the Red and Black eleven. At the end of the game against Berkshire, in which the home team was victorious by the score of 38-6, they were fully con- continued on page 4) Memorial Service for Mr. Henderson Attended By Many Alumni In tribute to Morace E. Hender- son, who served the Pawling School from its founding in 1907 to his death last summer, alumni, students, and masters filled the school chapel on alumni day to pay their final respects in a ser- vice conducted by Dr. Frederick Luther Gamage, headmaster em- eritus. Dr. Gamage reviewed his friend- ship with Mr. Henderson, which dated hack to the years when the latter served under him at St. Paul’s School, Garden City, Long Island. He emphasized especial- ly the loyalty Mr. Henderson brought to his work with succes- sive generations of students. Speaking from the standpoint of those who had studied under Mr. Henderson, Wesley M. Oler, T2, paid tribute to his qualities of inspiration and guidance. R. J. Shortlidge, headmaster, recalled the final years of Mr. Henderson at Pawling and the deep friend- ship that had developed between them. Mr. John W.

This new plan, which must gather force as it functions, has no set rules to govern it. There is no “must about what the senior advisers do, but they are expected to see their advisees at least once a day, not for a pri- vate talk, perhaps, but with just a word of advice or praise, or perhaps only a “hello, how goes it? In reply to the question as to what end this plan is to serve, Mr. Chidsev said, “The pur- pose behind it is varied, but the most important part of the sys- tem is an attempt to give the whole school continuity of thought and aim, directed by a responsible Sixth Form.” He went on to say that if a young boy who had not yet gotten his feet under him had some personal problem (Continued on page 6) Glee Club Gives Concert To Visiting: Alumni During Tea Dance The Pawling Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Jay Van Trawver, took its first bow of the season after the Berkshire game November 8. The concert was given in the study hall for alumni and guests. The hall was decorated with class banners and life-size figures of athletes of the decade in which the school was founded. The usually serious atmosphere of the room had disappeared before the estimated audience of over two hundred, gathered to hear the recital during an early intermis- sion of the tea dance.

Jr. ARMISTICE DAY—1941 In those days of patriotic fervor fanned by the necessities of a national emergency, Armistice Day, commemorating the cessa- tion of hostilities in the last war, has taken on a new and more vital meaning. Today not only do we pray for those who gave their lives for the cause of free- dom then, but we also pray for the end of a war even more bru- tal and more desperately fought by opposing ideologies. Though we have not yet engaged actively, or rather by open declaration, in tliis war we have a stake to be defended almost equal to Brit- ain’s. November 11, set aside in mem- ory of the four years between 1914 and 1918, may and should be commemorated as a day on which to pray for an early but favorable peace in this contest, a peace wherein the philosophies of dem- ocracy once more show their ascendancy over the older but less natural philosophies of tyranni- cal dictatorship. Let us, when we feel the futility of our victory in the last war, remember that although we did not gain any- thing material for ourselves, we did save our way of life, our freedom of speech, worship, and election. Armistice Day gives us an opportunity to remember that struggle we had in defending these liberties and the advan- tages they have brought us. NOVEMBER 1 AT PAWLING It all happened in 1908. There was a visitor in the Dutcher House who was about to found a school in memory of his son who had been a student under the headmaster of St. Paul’s School in Garden City. The name of Cluett for the school was suggested. The name of Gamage was suggested. But the name of Pawling was accepted if a cer- tain tract of one hundred and fifty acres of open, rolling hillside on which the school should he built could ho procured. On Novem- ber 1. 1908, the Pawling School, through the generosity of Mr. George B. Cluett and Mr. Thomas Simpson, was transposed from a dream of Dr. Frederick L. Gam- age to a reality. In each succeeding year, Nov- ember first has been gratefully remembered, and in each suc- ceeding year Pawling’s gratitude has increased. To these gifts of the Founders has been added every important unit of the school, each a gift so indispen- sable to the life of Pawling that one always wondered how it was done without The Depew Memorial Chapel was presented in memory of Ganson Do pew, class of 1914, by his father; the Barstow Memorial Science Building in memory of Frederic Duclos Barstow, class of 1915, by his parents. Mr. Samuel T. Shaw presented the Shaw Field House, Mrs. Esther C. Ulrich the baseball field, Mr. Charles Berner the football field, Mr. Edward G. Brocnniman the running track, and Mrs. Marcus Munsill the swimming pool. And the alumni of the school built and presented to Dr. Gamage the Headmaster's House. November first is remembered not only because these were gen- erous gifts, but also because they were all given in the spirit of appreciation. Appreciation is the highest reward of school masters because it bespeaks a great school. A. L. C. MR. HENDERSON (Continued from page 1, col. 3) Rowdoin College, dealt with the place Mr. Henderson held in the affections of Bowdoin alumni. Altar flowers for the occasion were provided through the kind- ness of Mr. and Mrs. Shortlidge, and Mrs. Evelyn Munger. Pawling Alumni Meet in Buffalo On Monday, November 10th, the Pawling Alumni in Buffalo eld meetings to welcome Mr. Elliott and Mr. Shortlidge. Plans developed as the result of Mr. Elliott's home journey to Chicago following his visit here at Pawl- ing. At noon there was a luncheon at a business club, attended by Messrs. Putnam, Hoyt, Lautz, Rochester, and Wettlaufer. In the late afternoon, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Putnam, there was a gathering with Mrs. Cowan and Mrs. Putnam as host- esses. At seven o’clock there was a dinner held at the Saturn Club attended by Messrs. Bradley Hurd, John Larkin, John Lautz, Merritt Long, Roger Putnam, DeLancey Rochester, Shirley Tay- l lor, Taylor Wettlaufer, and Bach Utley. The committee in charge of the dinner presented a beautiful lea- ther traveling set to Mr. Elliott. In response Mr. Elliott made a characteristic address of affec- lionate interest in the alumni and in the school. Following his talk Mr. Shortlidge discussed the school and the alumni associa- tions, and answered questions dealing especially with alumni scholarships, the proposed meet- ing of alumni at the school on January third, the operation of the Founders Fund, and especial- ly the new courses and activities carried on under the Student Association. The alumni were most enthusiastic, and already had planned two appointments tor Mr. Shortlidge with prospects in the afternoon, and have ar- rangements under way for a meeting of new parents and boys early in December. The festivities of November 8 were enlivened by the presence at school of a large body of enthu- siastic alumni who thrilled to the brilliant show staged by the football team in beating Berk- shire 38 to 6. Many of the alumni arrived before lunch and attend- ed the memorial service for Mr. Henderson; others, coming just in time for the game, visited the school later at tea. Probably the oldest registrant was Mr. Robert W. Martin, trustee and honorary librarian of the School; the youngest, surely, was Dumo Cham here, Jr., 1950. It is interesting to note that three consecutive senior prefects were present: Bill Bamewall ’20, Jim Ritchey ’21, and Russ Holli- day ’22. A list of the visiting alumni follows. The first two, fathers of six Pawling boys, were stu- dents of Doctor Gamage at Gar- den City. Argyll R. Parsons Noah Nason 1!K)9 Charles B. Utley 1910 Kenneth H. Clapp 1911 J.

The splendid condition of the entire team was a prime factor in the winning of this game, in which Coach Neil llalkyard entered all the members of the squad. Captain Hal Enstice proved his skill as a passer by the outstanding success of the Pawling aerial attack. Two of the touchdowns were scored by passes from Enstice to Miller. The third was made by DeVinne. Fine sportsmanship was displayed by both teams throughout the entire game. PAWLING 19 — MILFORD 0 The gridmen of Pawling isited the Milford School in Milford, Connecticut, for Pawling's second encounter of its 1941 football season. The first touchdown was scored by a pass from Enstice to Ted Appleby. Appleby garnered the last six points for Pawling when he received a pass from Bill Clarke. Frank Waters scored the other touchdown on an end run. George Larkin showed remarkable ability as Pawling’s blocking back, while Gus Swartz and Chuck DeVinne, the Pawling guards, were a constant menace to the Milford eleven. PAWLING 19 — HOPKINS GRAMMAR 6 The football team went to New Haven where they played a well-trained Hopkins Grammar squad. Pawling was slow at the start. In the second quarter, however, their aggressiveness finally scored a touchdown. After the half there was no stopping the Pawling team. In the first two minutes of the third period Captain Enstice crossed the double strip on an off-tackle drive. At this point the Pawling second team entered for their share of the victory. Irving Waters proceeded to add the last touchdown for Pawling by continuous, brilliant running. The home team fought its way across the strip in the last quarter for its only tally of the game. PAWLING 0 — YALE FRESHMEN SECONDS 16 Ihe visitors overcame the spirited Pawling aggregation to end the eleven-game winning streak which stretched over three seasons of football. Yale scored in the initial quarter when the Bed and Black failed to hold on its one-yard marker. Twice the Pawling line displayed its potential strength by successfully holding Yale for four downs on its own goal line. Yale gained much ground on olt-tackle reverses. Several times Pawling was placed in a scoring position only to be called back by a penalty. Don Nason and Frank Waters were consistently tackling hard, while Captain Enstice was efficient with powerful lino bucks. PAWLING 6 — HOTCHKISS 6 The Pawling football team fought its best against the powerful Hotchkiss team in a game at Lakeville which wras slowed down by unfavorable weather conditions. The home team scored in the initial quarter by a pass, while for Pawling Frank Waters carried the pigskin into the Hotchkiss end zone on a brilliant end run from the thirty-yard marker. The conversion missed the upright by inches. Neither team was able to score in the last half, and the game ended with Pawling on the opponents’ twenty- yard line. Westi Hansen and led Pieciorak proved their capability as tackles by hiking out Hotchkiss interference and stopping the opposing ball carriers on the line of scrimmage. Bob Beach and John Bramkamp were capable substitutes for tackle and guard respectively. PAWLING 38 — BERKSHIRE 6 For its last game Pawling on its own field encountered the Berkshire eleven before many of the Pawling alumni and many of the boys parents. As was the case throughout the five previous games of the season, Pawling was slow on its offensive in the beginning of the game. hen at last Pawling started rolling, Berkshire was helpless in stopping the onslaught of Pawling’s effective blockers and shitty, hard-running backs. Captain Enstice gave a good account of himself with excellent passing, kicking and running. Bob l ailor also was an able ball carrier. Coach llalkyard sent the entire second squad in before the finish of the initial half. Ihe second team began the third quarter. It was evident very soon after play began that the seconds w'ould be unable to hold the Berkshire team. During this period the visitors succeeded in pushing the bail across for the first and only time. After this touchdowm the first team was substituted to play its last five minutes together for the season. In the final quarter the entire squad saw action, scoring its last touchdown by an interception on the Berkshire goal line.

In the Tuck Shop there are tables, benches, and a large counter. Behind this are the ice cream and cold drinks, while candy and assorted crackers are displayed in the counter. On the walls are painted in bright colors the insignia of all the schools with which Pawling com- petes. Six boys at a time work quick- ly and efficiently to try to satisfy all the customers. The Tuck Shop’s hours arc from 4:30 to 5:10 P. M. and from 9:30 to 9:50 P. M. As manager of the Tuck Shop, Laury Dobbrow has Pom Smith as assistant, Dick Rmminger as general handyman, and Hal En- stice, Cal Gardenicr, and Bill Smith as clerks. At nine o’clock Johnny Shortlidgc takes over control of the Tuck Shop to sup- ply the Second Formers. At the present time a system of salaries for the workers in the Tuck Shop is being considered by the Student Association. Between the halves of the Berk- shire game hot dogs, coffee, and candy were sold under the aus- pices of the Tuck Shop on the porch of the field house. A large profit was made. During the winter the Tuck Shop will sell hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches. LAWRENCE MOTORS FORD . . . MERCURY LINCOLN . . . ZEPHYR Sales and Service Day Phone 5861-Night 6-1231 Pawling, N.

The singers were accompanied by Eliot Smithe at the piano. After the recital the couples resumed their dancing. Christmas Concert Planned The glee club is only one of a four-way musical organization consisting of a choir, glee club, octet, and band. These divisions are directing their efforts this fall to preparations for a concert of Christmas music to be given in the Pawling High School be- fore the holidays. As a separate group the glee club and choir will sing Christmas carols at the school service, in local churches, and over the Poughkeepsie radio station. The fourth annual spring con- cert given jointly with Drew Seminary, Carmel, has already been arranged with Miss Ruth ShafTner, director of vocal music there. Miss ShafTner and Mr. Van Trawver both studied voice in Los Angeles under Miss Ber- tha Vaughan. The musical clubs are repre- sented in the Student Association by Howard Solomon, president, James Spun , student director, and Richard Gosling, business manager. Armistice Day Theme Of Headmaster’s Talk The spirit of Armistice Day was the keynote of the chapel service on the evening of Novem- ber 11. At that time Mr. Short- lidgc, headmaster, praised the efforts of American men during the last war and hoped that we were not forgetting their services to us. As the whole student body stood, the headmaster read the names of the Pawling Alumni who gave their lives in the ser- vice of their country. After Mr. Shorllidge spoke, Dr. Gamage added the well-known lines, If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep.” During the service prayers were said for the army and navy, and for the dead of the last war. ALUMNI DAY (Continued from page 1, col. 2) vinced by a first hand view that all these stories were true. On returning from the game the visitors had their first view of the study hall disguised in all its full dress regalia. The band played sweet melodies to many couples gliding across the floor and the glee club gave a brief concert for parents and alumni gathered at the doorway to catch a glimpse of the lighter atmos- phere of Pawling. Surprise Holiday Frees Student Body at End Of Football Season A fire alarm drill bringing the hasty rumbling of feet from all Hoors of C.luett to the common room at 10:30 P. M., Monday, November 10, preceded an an- nouncement that the day follow- ing would be devoted to a rest from all regular school activities. While a fall holiday is traditional to Pawling and predicted con- fidently as to the exact day by most of the boys, the unusual method of announcement threw all previous guesses out of line. The dining room was open from 8:30 to 9:00 Tuesday morn- ing for those who wanted to at- tend breakfast. During the day hikes were most popular among the students, touch football com- ing next, and doing nothing at all ranking third. Several de- partments of the Student Asso- ciation were open, and groups of the more ambitious kept a post- man's holiday by forwarding the work of The Record, the theatre, and the dramatics club. Others helped Mr. Morison Brigham line the campus for the coming intra- mural touch football games. ANNOUNCEMENT The Record takes great plea- sure in announcing that Ed- ward Brockie, a member of the Fifth Form, has been placed on the literary staff of the Record-Scroll board.

The next task will be to lay the floor boards. The work crew, although working against the great im- pediment of cold weather, hopes to finish the work by January, in time for the production of the play, “You Can’t Take It With You.’’ On Wednesday, November 12, the intra-mural football games got under way. The competition, lasting for five days, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday, saw both the senior and junior divisions playing every other team in their particu- lar division, namely five games for each team. The different teams were chosen by corridors. The dispute about who has the best corridor can well be settled by this scries. Mr. Reiter and Mr. Brigham have laid out three fields in the back of the school, on which the first games started at two-thirty, Wednesday. The second games started at three forty-five. All masters participated in the umpiring. Although the coaches, all of them members of the varsity squad, have had very little time to organize their teams, they are working hard to gain the awards for the team that wins in each division. On October 31 the midget foot- ball team, playing its final game of the. year, dropped a closely contested battle to Greer by a score of 6-0. The team, not up to its previous standard, was held together by the many suc- cessful passes thrown by Captain Overton and Pete Law. In the line Paul Baldi and Pete Drum- mond excelled in their defensive play for Pawling. A TOAST TO CHUCK Who’s that boy with all the luck? That's no boy; that’s that wolf,— Chuck!

Whether a light fantastic, or cutting a rug, He showers with shame the plain jitterbug. As potentate of the dramatics club, Chuck is far from being a dub.

Third Team Bows To Kent in Final Game The Pawling thirds went down to defeat in their last game of the season against an “All Star’ Kent house team 18 to 0 at Kent on Friday, November 7. Although the thirds put up a good fight, their heavier oppon- ents were too much for them. s cmei uireai was aerial attack, with Ham Kirch- maier on the receiving end. Others who played well for Pawl- ing were Ted Lutkins at center, Bill Lutkins at right tackle, and Bud Bruns at end. The whole backfield did exceptionally well. PAWLING Bruns Jack Faulkner T.

A Nifty Bite that is Just Right ! McGRATH’S DINER PAWLING, N. Y. News-Chronicle PRINTERS PUBLISHERS Pawling, New York CONGRESS (Continued from page 1, col. 1) Taking up the case for the Affirmative, Norman Shethar said, “In the first place we must deal with a people prepared to go to war. America is mentally pre- pared to fight. Moreover, an ounce of protection is worth a ton of cure. Therefore it would definitely be in America’s inter- est to fight now.” Twyford Greeff for the Negative replied, “The United States can follow one of two courses. Either she can take part in the war, in which case the American people would lose their freedom, or she can sit by and hope that Britain and Russia will defeat Germany. Dur- ing this time she could build up a respectable army and navy with which to defend herself in case of an Allied defeat” At the close of the debate an open discussion took place. Mr. Paul Temple then questioned the debaters about certain points they had made. Then several new members present took an active part in the discussion. C. J. DRISLANE CO., INC.

PAGE SIX THE PAWLING RECORD WEDNESDAY, NOV. 19, 1941 ADVISORY SYSTEM (Continued from page 1, col. 4) which he was reluctant to bring within the range of an adult’s notice, he should feel free to go to his senior adviser for aid. I i an interview concerning this sulrect, Harold Enstice, president of t ie Sixth Form, said, “It is a plan which places a responsibili- ty on each Sixth Former which he must attempt to fulfill. With this responsibility on his should- ers and with his closer relation- ship to the younger boys, he will merit more respect from them and will undoubtedly get it. Get- ting its students used to respon- sibility is one of the major duties of a preparatory school, and this project will be an important fac- tor in accomplishing such an aim.” Another point Mr. Chidsey em- phasized was that reticent seniors who have never stood out in specific activities will here have a chance to show their ability to contribute positively to the effectiveness of the Sixth Form. By sharing to a man, they can ingrain a lasting continuity in the school. Ideally, in the future, a Sixth Former will have one Fifth Former, one Fourth Former, one. Third Former, and perhaps a Second Former, as his advisees. When this boy is graduated, the Fifth Former will carry on with the same boys under him as advisees with one Second Former added. In this way the traditions of the school, fully understood by seniors, will be carried down through each form. One of the more important aspects of the step is the help it will ofTer new entries into the school in adjusting themselves. An older boy can tell a new stu- dent what is done and how it is done, often with a great deal more directness and ease than a master can. Precocious young- sters can be guided and restrain- ed by a boy who has been at Pawling long enough to know how certain things are received by the school community; some being favored, and some being frowned upon. Furthermore, by this steady interest all need of anything that suggests silly re- strictions and rules for under- formers is unnecessary. The Record approves whole hcartedly of this plan and feels that it is a most important con- tribution to the building of a good school and the moulding of good, well-balanced students who will have the proper attitude, understanding, and sense of re- sponsibility when they become Sixth Formers.

Y., DECEMBER 3, 1941 NUMBER FIVE Former Olympic Skier To Address Pawling Fans Sometime in December Mr. Oster Meier, instructor at the Hannes-Schneider Ski School in North Conway, N. H., will lecture and show films on skiing here. Mr. Meier is well known as a ski expert, being at one time captain of the Olympic Ski Team. The school is indebted to Mr. Adam Gimbel, President of Saks Fifth Avenue, who wrote and sug- gested that Mr. Meier lecture here. Mr. Meier is a capable speaker, and his lecture promises to be valuable to Pawling ski fans. Captain Enstice, Miller Select All-American Gridmen for 1941 Going down in the annals of football this year is a list of greats, perhaps not so long as sometimes, but very imposing just the same. Those players who represent the best abilities in their positions are set down here in the form of an All-Ameri- can college football team. At the left-end position Milt Smith from U. C. L. A. continued his fine work where he left off last year in catching passes and in his all-round defensive play. Alf Bauman from Northwestern, probably the biggest on the team, and the only reserve All-Ameri- can from last year, continued to make the grade. Many coaches believe him to be one of the out- standing tackles in the last decade. Not much was expected from Peabody, the choice for left guard from Harvard, at the beginning of the season, but he turned out to be a fast-charging line man. Vanderbilt this year boasts of the best All-American center and a block of granite in the person of Gude. From the overrated but excel- lent Texas team comes the burly and strong right guard, Daniels. California's Bob Remhard, picked by many as All-American mater- continued on page 3) Second Victorious Season Set as Goal by 1941 Basketball Team With cold weather coming on, Pawling athletics, except for hockey, go indoors. Mr. Doyle Leathers again takes over the basketball team, while the swim- mers will be coached by Mr. Morison Brigham, who assisted Mr. Mattlcdge with last year's team. After a highly successful football season Mr. Neil Ilalkyard of the record-breaking freestyle relay team of last year have re- turned. George Larkin will prob- ably fill the vacancy left by Cap- tain McAliley, with Ilansen, Spurr, and Swartz completing the team. Greeff and Flagg, mem- bers of last year’s medley relay team, will again hold down the breaststroke and backstroke posi- tions, while the freestyle post is open. will take charge of the hockey learn. The basketball squad starts its practice sessions with 23 mem- bers. Last year’s team won all its games and captured the Tri- State League cup. Despite the loss of George Fick, Jack Agar, and Peter Kirchmaicr, Mr. Leath- ers will have Hal Enstice, Pom Smith, and Captain Ted Appleby, remembered for his interceptions and superlative guard play, to form a nucleus for the 1942 team. Frank Waters and Peter Tolies from last year’s squad are rated a good chance of making berths I on the first squad. Coming up from the third team, Art Miller, Ham Kirchmaier, Bob Hallock, and Dave Merkel have shown good form during the first prac- tice sessions. Among the new boys this year Bob Davis and Bill Clarke have shown ability. Swimming Prospects Bright The swimming team looks for- ward to an even more successful record than last year, when Pawl- ing won three meets and lost three. Coach Morison Brigham will build his team around the live returning lettermen, Captain (ius Swartz, Twyford Greeff, Westi Hansen, George Larkin, and Jim Spurr. Probable swimmers in the free- style events are Dick Gosling, Hansen, Larkin, Spurr, and Swartz. Trying out for the back- stroke will be Bill Flagg, who swam this event last year, and Norman Shethar, who shows promise in practice. Howard Bruns is expected to give Greeff real competition in the breast- stroke. Three out of the four members Pastorfield Captains Hockey Team In terms of last year’s season, the hockey outlook for this year seems favorable. Captain Pastor- field, together with Irv Waters and Goodwvn Kuyk will serve as nuclei for three strong forward lines, while Chuck DeVinne re- turns as mainstay for the defense. All are lettermen from last year’s aggregation. The goalie post is still dis- puted, Kal Dwarkcn and Steve Edwards being the main con- tenders. Don Nason and John Bramkamp are rapidly improv- ing, and both should show well in defense posts. The line situa- tion is still in doubt, but things are shaping up under Mr. Neil Halkyard’s guidance, and definite results arc to be expected soon. Besides those previously men- tioned, likely candidates for the line include Phil Van Mater, Dave Cluett, Ted Lutkins, Kent Warner, Thad Thome, Stan Por- ter, Dave Spencer, Irv Karpas, and Orville Stout. CANDLELIGHT SERVICE The traditional candlelight service will be given in chapel on December 14. The program is as follows: First Hymn: “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear”. Before the scripture reading: “The First Noel”. After the scripture read- ing: The Nunc Dimittis. Be- fore the sermon: “Christmas j Hymn” (Traditional hymn of I the Netherlands). The Offertory: “Gesu Bam- bino” and “O Holy Night”. Closing Hymn: “Silent Night” Waters Succeeds Enstice As Football Captain John Pastorfield Chosen 1942 Hockey Captain The night of November 25 was chosen for the election of this year's hockey captain and next year’s football leader. The boys who shared these honors were John Pastorfield and Frank Waters, respectively. John came to Pawling last year and since that time has been an active member of his class in athletics. He has been a grid- man for two years; he earned his letter last year in hockey, and in the spring he is on the baseball team’s pitching staff. Frank Waters and Hal Enstice, 1941 captain, were the running forces of this year’s backfield. Taking up where Hal left off, Frank is fully capable of filling his new position. He is also captain of the 1942 track team. Visiting Speakers Mark End of Fall Term Many of the most important chapel events of the year take place in the period before Christ- mas. The Rev. Rowland J. Bun- ten preached at the service Sun- day, November 30. For the ser- vice December 7 Dr. Philip Allen Swartz is scheduled to address the school body. The traditional candlelight service will be held on Sunday, December 14, and the last service of the 1941 year will take place on the following Wednesday. All members of Pawling churches have been in- vited to this service. Mr. Bunten, formerly chaplain at Pawling, now has his own parish in Poughkeepsie. Dr. Swartz is the father of Guthrie Swartz, prefect and swimming captain. The candlelight service, tradi- tionally held at this time of year, will be conducted by Dr. Fred- erick Gamage. Mr. R. J. Short- lidge, headmaster, will give the sermon.

Jr. CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE When there is a pood team on which many players star, the coaches often pet far too little credit. In comparison with a long touchdown run which brings the onlookers to their feet, the coaches work and effort seem unimportant In spite of the lack of adequate recognition that the coaches get, they are worthy in every respect of our praise. They , are the people who advise the players on how to improve their game; it is they who weld the in- dividual talents of the various members of the team into one, hard-striking unit. Since it is too often a fact that the deserving coaches go unre- warded and unsung, let us rc- meml er to give a fair share of the credit for a great victory to the men who plan the maneuvers, help the players put themselves in condition, and perfect the techniques of the various parti- cipants. CORRECTION The Record wishes to correct an error made in the issue of November 19. Under the article “November 1 at Pawling” it was stated that the swimming pool was presented by Mrs. Marcus Munsill. The pool was the gift of the late Mrs. Mary J. Munsill, maternal grandmother of John Munsill Ulrich of the class of 1917. Our apologies and thanks go to Mr. Ulrich, who brought this mistake to our notice. Juniors, Seniors End Intra-mural Series Kirchmaier, Clarke Lead Winning Football Teams. After many a hard-fought battle to gain the championship of the Intra-mural Touch Foot- ball League, teams Senior-5 and Junior-4 emerged victorious. S-5 gained its title with com- parative ease, defeating eveiy senior team it came up against. J-4, however, had to play out a tie with J-l before clinching the title. In the senior division the crucial game was between S-5 and S-4. This was the final game of the season and both teams were undefeated. S-4 was the first to score, but S-5 came back and put over two touchdowns and a safety to win 7 to 3. The victors were coached by George Larkin and captained by Bill Clarke. The team was made up of Jim Spurr, John Landers, Schuyler Burton, Clarke Oler, Charlie Alexander, and Paul Hudson. The junior division play-off was more exciting than the senior. J-4 and J-l both tied for first place and were forced to play each other again. In this en- counter J-4 defeated J-l 15 to 9 and won the junior division. This team was coached by Pete Tolies and captained by Ham Kirchmaier. Other members were Dick Overton, Dave Spencer, Tyler Wood, Arthur Sesselburg, Johnnie Shortlidge, and Walter Caswell.

Dr. Philip Allen Swartz, pastor of the First Con- gregational Church of Pough- keepsie, declared in his sermon in chapel on Sunday, December7. Taking his text from the first chapter of the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians, Dr. Swartz supported his belief in human progress by narrating several of his experiences in China during the last war. Since i he modem world has shrunk to only a fraction of the size it was twenty-five years ago, he declared, we are no longer isolated from the Far East, and thus we are increasingly able to spread the Christian mission throughout the world. The Chinese, he said, are jus� beginning to discover the great advantages that western ways of living bring to their lives. To illustrate this, he said that dur- ing the great famine people were willing to sell even their children for food and grain so that the rest of the family might survive. With adequate transportation food could have been sent from the rest of the world to help the suffering. In concluding his sermon Dr. Swartz declared that we will have to gather all the people of the world into one Christian fam- ily, loyal to the will of Christ, if we are all to live in peace.

Tlio strug- gle for the control of the Pacific between Japan and the United States, which has been brewing for the past decade, has finally broken out into open and undis guised warfare. Since the first World War we have been trying to keep the slogan of “business as usual” a reality until the past year. Thus far we have not bad the mental and physical toughen- ing which the rest of the world, already at war several years, has had. At Pawling we shall live a rather protected life, free from all the worries of real or imagin- ed bombing raids. We have, however, a duty to perform as part of this country, a country now engaged in a struggle for its life. Through fortunate cir- cumstances we belong to the more completely informed half of the population. It is, there- fore, our duty to try to dif- ferentiate between false rumors and confirmed facts. The rumors which are spread about the country are heralds of disaster. They distort the truth to excite the fears of a population prone to believe the worst We at Pawl- ing must keep our heads in this conflict and help others to keep theirs through our influence. It is a difficult task, and perhaps a seemingly unimportant one. The question of morale is involved in it, and morale is perhaps the most important single factor in a modern total war. We can also aid the morale of the country hv being strong enough to face the had facts and make the best of them. If others see us happy and confident, even it there is no apparent cause for it, they are much more apt to share our confidence. Our third duty in this time of warfare is not to complain when we shall be forced to give up some of those luxuries which through constant use have be- come almost necessities. It is inevitable that the supply of metal instruments of all kinds will be curtailed, and it is not at all unlikely that to supply the needs of a constantly increasing navy and airforce, gasoline con- sumption will have to he cut. Chronic complaint is a contag- ious disease. It is also a serious one. Let us face our inconven- iences with a smile; if they become dangers, let us face them in the same way.

The first, “Resolved: That Russia be given all aid possible,” was debated on December 1. For th j Affirmative William Hunt, and Marion Lewis brought out the fact that Russia, being our first front against Hitler, was worthy of our aid. For the Negative William Flagg and Guthrie Swartz replied that we can hard- ly supply Britain, let alone Rus- sia. The next debate was “Resolved: That legislation should be passed forbidding strikes in defense in- dustries.” In defending the Affir- mative, Norman Shethar and Twyford Greeff pointed out that since war is now open we need increased production to fill our needs and that strikes defeat that purpose. The Negative argument, presented by Joost Vas Dias and William Hunt, consisted of the point that, workers who are forced to stay on their jobs are inefficient and that a law against strikes is undemocratic.

He went on to say that a team had a successful season if each player supported the other players to the best of his ability. “The most important phase of present day football,” he declared, “is blocking and tackling.” Mr. Leary told many interesting stories drawn from his long years of experience as player and coach. Hal Enstice, captain of the Pawling football team of 1941, praised his linemen for their fine play. Then he presented gifts from the team to the coaches: Mr. Halkyard, Mr. George Ander son, and Mr. Brigham. Pawling's football captain for next year.

Y., JANUARY 14, 1942 NUMBER SEVEN 30 Headmasters Confer Here on Defense Plans Army, Navy Officers Urge Character Development Maintenance of high standards of scholarship and discipline as the basis for supplementary courses in military training was urged by representatives of the army and navy speaking here before a conference of headmas ters assembled to discuss means whereby preparatory schools can contribute to the national war effort. Lieutenant Colonel Benja min W. Venable of the General Staff and Lieutenant Commander Burton Davis of the Bureau of Navigation were guest speakers at the series of informal discus- sions which took place December 17 and 18. Thirty headmasters or their delegates, representing schools from Pennsylvania to New Hampshire, attended. In calling the meeting to order. B. J. Shortlidge, headmaster here, declared that while peace was the ultimate objective of our present efforts, war was of im- (Continued on page 4) SKI TOW 1UW Owing to the kindness of Mr. Lowell Thomas the Pawling skier of 1942 will not have the unpleas- ant effort of walking up hill after he has descended. The ski-tow owned by Mr. Thomas has been kindly opened to the boys of the school. Several skiing parties have al- ready invaded this excellent ski- ing territory and made good use of the tow. The tow is also open to the public on weekends. For a small fee one may have the use of the tow all day plus hot coffee and doughnuts which are served on the grounds. The school wishes to extend its thanks to Mr. Thomas for his generosity. Need for Self-Discipline And Hard Work Stressed In Opening Chapel In the first chapel service of 1942 Alan Lake Chidsey, acting headmaster, stressed the need for the utmost output of work if we are to cope successfully with the present crisis. Several changes have already been enacted in the school program, while others re quiring more thought and plan- ning are being formulated by committees. “The most important job facing Pawling students is to develop further their minds, bodies, and spirits,” Mr. Chidsey said, and went on to state that every boy should impose a more rigorous discipline on himself, especially in the preparation of daily assign- ments and in taking on added responsibility throughout the school. He announced that aspects of the present curriculum lending themselves to the defense effort would receive special emphasis | but that a revamping of the school program was not being considered. The ideas set forth by Mr. Chidsey were based on the advice of the army and navy officers as expressed at the head- masters’ conference held here during the Christmas recess. Changes have already been made in the school program. Afternoon downtown permissions have been canceled so that all boys can devote the whole athletic period to some kind of exercise. With the increased tempo of our lives Mr. Chidsey expressed his belief in the necessity that each boy have a definite period every day when he can pray for peace and give thought to the ordering of his own life: as the result of (Continued on page 6) A daughter, Heather Ann, was bom to Mr. and Mrs. Neil Ilalkyard in Waterville, Maine, December 20, 1941.

SHORTLIDGE Appeal for Blood Answered by Eighty-nine In response to the national ap- peal for blood to be used in transfusions for wounded victims of the war, the Pawling School on December 17 became the cen- ter of Pawling's bloodgiving. The appeal was answered by 89 people here, supplemented by numerous others who applied. There were not accomodations for these, however, as only one doctor was in charge of the blood letting. One hundred and twenty people were scheduled to give their blood, but in the one after- noon devoted to it, there was not time enough to take care of all those signed up, let alone the others who came in person or telephoned their offer to give a pint of th$ precious fluid for national defense and health.

Macy and Co. supplied a (Continued on page 6) Former to Devote Efforts To Summer Camp Work In order to devote full time to (he summer-camp enterprises in which he has been actively en- gaged for many years and which have made increasing demands on his attention, Mr. R. J. .Short- lidge recently requested the Board of Trustees to accept his decision to retire as headmaster at the end of the current school year. This action had been contem- plated for some time and came at a period when Mr. Shortlidge was able to foresee with confidence that the transition to a new ad- ministration would entail no im- pediment to the progress and traditions of the school. The Board of Trustees, in grant- ing Mr. Shortlidge's request, at the same time appointed Alan Lake Chidsey, associate headmas- ter, as his chosen successor. Mr. Chidsey will assume the duties of acting headmaster for the bal- ance of the year, while Mr. Short- lidge, who will continue to live in Pawling after his retirement, will serve the school as an active member of the Board. Mr. Chidsey has long been asso- ciated with Mr. Shortlidge in educational pursuits. He worked under him at Camp Marienfeld and in 1986 came to Pawling as assistant headmaster. In 1937 he left to serve as headmaster of the Arizona Desert School in Tucson, returning last fall to take up his work as associate headmaster. The significance of the step to the two men involved was ex- pressed by each individually at the occasion of the opening chapel of the winter term. Mr. Shortlidge spoke of the expressions of loyalty that came to him from parents and alumni following the an- nouncement of his retirement and stated his determination to maintain the bonds which have linked him with the life and activities here.

Bacon. Jr. A LOSS WE SHALL FEEL The announcement of the in- tended retirement of Mr. Short- lidge conies as a surprise and a matter of regret to the Record and the hoys of the school. In his seven years as headmaster he proved in many ways his right to the respect and love of all of us. He has put the school on a firm academic and enrolment basis; he has also built up faith and confidence among the boys in his ability to achieve the highest ideals of education in the broad- est sense of that word. By his unremitting hard work and the ceaseless striving of the faculty under him, the boys have been fired with his enthusiasm and as a result have studied harder and with more purpose. Mr. Shortlidge has long had too heavy a load to carry, what with the burden of Camp Marienfcld and the headmaster- ship of the school. He lias there- fore decided to lay down his work here and concentrate on the camp. However, this does not deny us his company as he will continue to live in his house near the school and from there will he in close companionship with all of us. Ilis influence will further make itself felt on the Board of Trustees where his long experience will continue to bene- fit the school. The Record wishes to take this opportunity of expressing its deep appreciation of all Mr. Short- lidge has done for the school in the past seven years. BARSTOW The Science Library, situated on the third floor of Barstow, is fully supplied with lxxiks con coming the natural ami social sciences. The library also in- cludes special racks devoted to many of the current magazines. All books except the encyclo- pedias may be taken out by the students for their own use. The library is financed by the Barstow Fund and allotments from the school budget, which money is used to maintain the equipment and to keep a supply of new hooks coming in all the time. The total number of books that have been acquired so far is 1633. Annually Yale presents to Pawling a group of books from (heir press from the Ganston De- Pew Memorial Fund. Many books are also added by contri- butions from the alumni. Many of the latter who arc authors send the school autographed copies of their writings. The library is situated in per- haps the quietest place in school. In the room there are two large oval tables around which boys may study. There are also sev oral nooks with single desks in them. Large casement windows and semi-indirect ceiling lights afford ample illumination at all times. The hangings and rugs are of soft blue. -V portrait of Frederic Duclos Barstow, in whose memory the building was erected in 1936, hangs from the wall. This room is mainly used for reference work to he done by his- tory and science students and for recreational reading. For boys who need to spend extra time on their lessons it is used as a study hall from 5:10 to 6:10 P. M. Mr. Page has contributed great ly to the purely literary facilities of the school by establishing a library in his living room. He has offered the use of those hooks to the students as a supplement to the Science Library. The Record Board takes great pleasure in announcing that Frank Prior has been named to the position of Busi- ness Manager. Frank is a member of the fifth form and will hold his new post through his senior year. 19 13 John S. DeLamater died on August 3, 1941. lie was a mem- ber of the firm of Fisk.

In their second game the Pawling Thirds proved to he capable of equaling the aggressiveness of the South Kent team by tying it up and ending the game with seven points to their opponents' seven. In the following three games Pawling proved that it had good spirit and fight, but failed to have the power to overcome their superior opponents. They dropped their second match with the Greer team at the Greer School by a 20-13 defeat. In this game the Pawling Thirds were leading their opponents 13-0 at the end of the first half. However, with more power in the second half the Greer gridmen managed to win the necessary margin for victory. The “Fighting Thirds” again suffered defeat at the hands of the m.'ch heavier Pawling J. V. team. However, their humiliation was very small indeed for the heavier team just managed to nose them out with a 13-6 victory. In the last game of the 1941 season the thirds ventured to the Kent School. The home team outclassed our team and gained a victory of 18-0. Although the line-up of Mr. Reiter’s “Fighting Thirds” was constantly changing throughout the entire season, there were a few who stood out most of the season in designated positions. At right end Ham Kirchmaier played excellent hall, while the left end position was filled by Bud Bruns who showed his ability as one who could he depended upon by all. Phil Van Mater and Dick Faulkner were the holders of the tackle positions for most of the season. Playing the center position with great skill. Bill I.utkins proved a valuable strength in the middle of the line, while supporting him at guard positions were Ted Lutkins alternating with Dick Barker at right guard and Binnie Jack at left guard. John Landers was the brains in the hack held with constant, thoughtful calling of plays. Captain Porter played his position well and was a constant threat to the opposing team with his fast, shifty running. Ted Brockie and Boh Hallock were the ones who maintained the honors at the halfback positions. The substitutes were Alexander, who played well in almost any position in the line or hackfield, Gardenier, Law, Lowcnthal, Paton, Sessclberg, and Kent Warner. Chance Vought was the manager. Mr. Reiter deserves much credit for shaping a comparatively green group of 1m vs into a team. Although they were not very successful in winning their games, they were successful in that they possessed strong spirit and enjoyed the game fully.

Construction Group Busy DEFENSE PLANS (Continued from page 1, col. 1) mediate concern and that actual measures of participation would constitute the major part of the evening’s discussion. Need for Character Stressed Speaking for the naval depart- ment, Lt. Commander Davis stated that the navy’s chief need was for highly trained men, especially in the field of higher mathematics. Me went on to say that as a result of the lack among candidates of sufficient training in this field, the navy had been forced to accept for officer train- ing many men who were not fully equipped with the essential background. “It is here’’ he said, “that the preparatory schools can help. And their task in this respect is doubly important when it is recalled that in more and more instances the secondary training a boy receives will be his last” Lt. Colonel Venable, in develop- ing the army’s attitude toward supplementary military training in the schools, said the army's need is primarily for young men with sound bodies and sound minds. It is therefore the army’s policy that schools should “run as usual with as little disruption as possible.” Although both Lt. Colonel Ven- able and Lt. Commander Davis stressed in the course of their talks that character and amen- ability to discipline are more im- portant than anything else, they also pointed out that the schools can be of definite help in teach- ing boys the fundamentals of such skills as signal work and map reading. Defense Measures Discussed Specific topics and an open forum featured the second part of the meeting which took place after dinner. Mr. Henry Kittrcdge, of St. Paul’s School, Concord, New Hampshire, outlined the actual courses developed there in an effort to equip the students with specialized skills. These include map making and map reading, radio and signal work, navigation, and the construction of the gasoline engine. Dr. Charles Breed, headmaster of Blair Academy, discussed the value of participation in neigh- borhood defense measures as bringing true awareness of the critical nature of the times. “The chief benefit is psychological, he said. “A wholesome spirit of unity has evolved among the boys as a result of the work we have done in conjunction with local defense efforts.” Mr. Chidsey spoke on the pro! lem of maintaining high academ- ic standards in the face of the present emergency. “There is a danger for boys of this age, he said, “in looking upon the army or navy as escape from their day-by-day work. What they must learn is the lesson of disci- pline and using all their energy toward a given piece of work.” The problem of a just peace to follow the present conflict was the subject of a talk by Mr. George Walton of the George School. “What must come, he said, “is a democratic, world form of government.” The schools can contribute to this end, he declared, by giving their students more responsible work to do and by helping to emphasize “the spiritual growth of the individ- ual.” In this latter respect the private school is in a specially strong position, he thought. Mr. Arthur Northwood, Jr., representative of Time magazine, mentioned the bewildering array of problems confronting the mod- ern world and offered the help of his organization in providing , the schools with material per- tinent to an understanding of current affairs. Colonel Venable, in answer to a direct question, stated that it is the belief of the army that a hoy should continue his schooling until called to service rather than enlist. He urged that students should be thoroughly grounded in “the obligations of citizenship if they are to serve their country effectively. Discussion Summarized Summarizing the general point of view as expressed in the two previous sessions of the confer- ence, the twelve members who gathered for discussion Saturday morning were in accord that in- dependent schools would he of primary service in maintaining with as little disturbance as pos- sible their present curricula and emphasizing even greater self- discipline, responsibility, and physical fitness. In dealing with suggestions for adapting the scholastic program to the present emergency in such a way as to supplement without radically changing the present course content, the conferees agreed that courses in science, mathematics, and history lent themselves most readily to prac- tical application. Courses in radio, communication, advanced mathematics, map reading, cur- rent history, problems of democ- Includcd also In the summary t of the conference were points made in connection with physical training and health. It was agreed that instruction should he given in first-aid and the funda mentals of Ixaiily care. Atten- tion should also he given “to authorized exercises conducted with military precision for (lie sake of morale. The wide spread feeling among the conferees of need for an effective promotion of the demo- cratic spirit was expressed in the report of the conference, which urged the value of hard, manual work, “the teaching of the elements and values of demo- cracy, the fostering of a humane and religious spirit, and making a “just peace a conscious issue. Odds and Ends Mr. and Mrs. Jay Van Trawver have made one of the music rooms on the top floor of Cluett into their living room in order to provide a music center for the school. They are busy painting and redecorating it. The room is equipped with a piano and a radio-victrola combination adc- cmately supplied with classical records. These facilities are avail- able to all those in the school who are interested in good music. Mr. and Mrs. Chidsey have in- vited seniors to take coffee with themselves and the masters in their apartment after evening chapel. Mrs. Riggs was recently con- fronted with a dilemna brought on by the war. Being allowed only two and a half pounds of sugar for afternoon cold tea in- stead of the necessary daily quota of twelve pounds, she was forced to limit the drinkers to hot tea exclusively. Mr. Bacon has established what is known on the first floor as the “Bacon Derby.” Contestants can score by leaving their lights on while out of their rooms, or by leaving windows open unneces- sarily. A suitable prize, not yet announced, will go to the win- ner. So far Paul Baldi is favored to win. Owing to the difficulties invol ved in heating the chapel during winter, nightly services are now being held in the study hall. The Impel, however, will he heated for use for the regular Sunday afternoon service. With Theatre Interior Terraced Floor Gives Visional Perfection As it has progressed, t!ie theatre construction group has met cer- tain difficulties in the age of the building selected as the future home of the dramatics club. When the inside partitions were taken out, the sides and n of sagged, hut with the determin- ation and interest shown by the boys these difficulties are being surmounted one hv one. At first the crew, under the direction of Mr. Thomas Page and Mr. Alan Chidsey, built the foundation for the stage at the south end of the building. When this was com- pleted, the work of clearing out the inside Into one large room began. That work, which is now still in progress, consists of repairing the trusses and laying more solid concrete foundations to help the original ones which have not proved sufficiently strong to hold up the walls securely. Now that the floor has been removed, the ground is being terraced so as to give the audience the visional perfection needed in any theatre. Expert Workers Among the workers who have shown skill are Frank Prior, who is a master of diagonal sheathing, and his brother Tom, who has done well as a carpenter under the guiding hand of Mr. Page Dick Thayer has been elected foreman of the project and with his pushing and encouragement has hurried the work along; Dave Wallace continues as time keeper with possible payment for the work done being taken into consideration. Bob DuBois and Boh Failor are showing marked improvement with the practice that they are getting. John Landers, using great ingenuity, salvages old iron and makes it into usable nails to help defray the cost of building. Alger Shel- den is also turning into an ex- pert carpenter whose assistance has been valuable. The completion of the new stage will have to be postponed temporarily until funds for per- manent materials have been secured. Makeshift covering will have to be used until that time. The mid-winter play will be presented on a temporary’ stage erected within the building proper. As finally projected, the theatre will seat 250 people. WED NFS DA Y, JAN. 14, 1942 THE PAWLING RECORD PAGE FIVE Lowell Thomas Tells Of Broadcast Technique Full explanation of the tech- niques used in his nightly broad- cast was made by Mr. Lowell Thomas recently to the members of Section A of American History who were invited to his broad- casting room located in the Quaker Hill Country Club. While his nightly broadcasts are made from New York, Mr. Thomas ex- plained that the apparatus here was sufficiently similar to make possible an accurate description of modern news broadcasting. The news first comes to the studio through a teletype ma- chine; this news is pasted onto a sheet of paper in telegram fash- ion. Then a secretary types these news notes for Mr. Thomas to read and change. lie explain- ed that there is a vast but subtle difference between written and spoken English. A news broad- cast in spoken English should be perfectly readable, he said, while one in written English sounds stilted and pedantic. lie explain- ed that he always tries to use an intimate and personal style in order to maintain the interest of his listeners. To time his pro- gram exactly, a secretary sits be- side him with a stop watch and periodically lays down a num- bered card with the minute writ- ten on it. He sees these numbers from the comer of his eye and by a prearranged schedule can tell whether he is going too fast, too slowly, or if he is just on time. Two Outdoor Surfaces Open to Pawling Skaters At Pawling there are two skat- ing surfaces, the pond, in back of Mr. George Anderson’s house, and the rink, between the Field House and the football field. The rink is used by the first hockey squad, while the third team and casual skaters use the pond. The pond was formed by the damming of a small stream. The dam necessary for that piece of engineering is over fifteen feet high in some places. It has been rebuilt twice since its original construction. After every snow storm the exercise squad and the hockey teams dig in with a will to clear the surface, a job which the boys remember long after- ward by their tired arms. The rink is made each year on a flat, rectangular surface cleared of all obstructions. Boards are set up all around the space to serve the double purpose of side boards and of barriers to keep the water in. When water is poured onto the surface in freezing wea- ther, a good smooth hockey rink is obtained. .1...... HONORS Compliments of Bradley Smith Sales Co. NEW HAVEN, CONN.

Y., Third period scrimmage, Pawling vs. Berkshire Change in Schedule Insures More Study Time The scholarship committee has rearranged the afternoon and evening work periods in an effort to provide additional time for those boys who arc failing to dc their best academic work. This new arrangement of study time was attained by switching the late afternoon period, former- ly the activity hour, and the sec- ond evening study hall. This ex- change provides a boy with ample time to finish his work for the following day, for if he has not completed his preparation by 8:30 P. M. he is free to continue his work and skip his activity for that day. (Continued on page 4) DR.

Pawling Stickmen Drop Opening Games to Kent, Berkshire Teams The Pawling hockey team got off to a bad start start and drop- ped its first game to Berkshire 6-0. The game was played on Pawling ice January 17. The strong Berkshire team kept up a fast offense throughout the game and was threatened only once or twice by the home team. Though the Pawling stickmen tried valiantly to score, they found it difficult to penetrate the Berkshire zone owing to the fine defensive play of the visitors. The starting team for Pawling consisted of Captain Pastorfield at center; Porter, left wing; I. Waters, right wing; DeVinnc and Thorne at the defense posts and Baton in the cage. The second line of Nason, Kuvk, and Hadley played well. Kent Victors Suffering its second set-back in two starts, Pawling was downed by the Kent hockey team 8-0 on the latter’s ice January 21. The game was marked by the exceptional passing of the Kent team, which the Pawling boys seemed unable to cope with.

Mr. R. J. Shortlidge welcomed the group and introduced Mr. Lorenzo White, their leader. “The program will be very simple and made up principally of the folk songs for which our race is famous,” Mr. White said. The quartet then sang a group of songs which received thorough approval and applause from everyone. When the singers concluded this set of songs, Mr. White spoke of the place of negro spirituals in America. “America has a rich cultural heritage as well as a material one,” he said, “for all the races that have come here have contributed some particular feature to it. The negroes have made an important contri- bution to it in their folk stories, their music, their dancing and their songs, and it is in their songs that they have expressed (Continued on page 4) Winter Dance to Be Held Valentine’s Day; Newt Leighton to Play The seventeen hundredth anni- versary of St. Valentine will be celebrated at Pawling, not with cards and messages, but with the arrival of guests for the annual midwinter prom.

Bob Davis and Hal Ensticc were high scorers for Pawling, while Captain Appleby and Bill Clarke played an out- standing game. Opening with a strong offense, Taft outplayed the Red and Black in the first quarter. At one point in the second period Taft was leading 11-6, but with a tighten- ing of its defense the home team managed to bring the score up to twelve points as against Taft’s thirteen at the half. At the beginning of the third quarter the Pawling quintet started a strong and spirited of- fensive. Although Taft played good defensive ball, the attack proved too strong, and the game closed with Pawling enjoying a comfortable lead. This victory made two straight wins for Pawling in the Tri-State (Continued on page 2) FACULTY MEMBER TO WED It came as a pleasant surprise to the boys of the Pawling School to read in the Sunday newspaper of January 18 that Mr. and Mrs. Robert T.

Miss Garrett was graduated from the Ilolmquist School and St. Luke’s Hospital School of Nursing in New York.

Jr. A RECORD SUGGESTION Among the changes that have been made in the school since the war started, nearly seven weeks ago, there are some that are com- pletely right and which the Record approves of wholehearted- ly. One of these is the canceling of the visiting privilege granted to those boys who have earned the right to he excused from study ball. This tends to make the hoys do their work a great deal better since they study with out any of the distractions offered by visitors going from one room to another. This ruling is essen- tially right since the job of the preparatory school today is to graduate young men educated in the principles of academic work and trained to do the task before them. This must he done in order to make men capable of govern- ing the country in the future. One of the new rulings, how- ever, that of not granting down- town permissions in the after- noon, does not seem to he ns desirable. On Saturday after- noons, when there are no athletic contests, boys no longer have the feeling of being able to get away from the scene of their daily work and spend an odd hour or so browsing through the Pawling stores and purchasing incidentals ranging from sundaes to alarm clocks. Under the present system the hoy who gets off the train at the end of Christmas vacation can not again cross the tracks until he goes home at Easter, un- less he cams enough points to take a weekend. The Record has the suggestion to offer that the privilege he granted, but only to those who earn it. Seniors should know when they have their work done provided they have enough will to work to gain a R rating or better. If an underformer has the ability to gain an A rating, he also should know when he has some time that is really free. For these hoys, the Record suggests that the privilege of going down town he granted one day a week. This plan is offered purely as an experiment to he tried for two or three weeks. If at that time continuation of it should seem to he undesirable, then, of course, the idea could he dropped, hut we hope and believe that this would not have to he done. DANCE WEEKEND (Continued from page 1, col. 3) will play South Kent. The first and second basketball teams will also show their proficiency in a game with the Kent School. Following the athletic contests, the dramatics club, under the di- rection of Mr. Alan Chidsey, will present “You Can't Take It With You.’’ Charles DeVinne, president, Howard Solomon, student direc- tor, and the cast have been work- ing diligently since the first part of October; hence we shall soon sec what results their work has brought. Following the play a banquet will he held at approxi- mately seven-thirty. Nine-thirty is the bewitching hour which opens the school room lo four hours of the light fantas- tic. The decorations arc being ar- ranged by the dance committee under the leadership of Charles DeVinne. Newt Leighton, a sec- ond Charlie Barnett, and his or- chestra will give their version of dance music at its host. There will he a brief intermis- sion at midnight at which time supper will be served. Mr. Jav YanTrawver and the Pawling glee club under the presidency of Howard Solomon will conclude the remaining part of the inter- mission with a short concert. Dancing will then be resumed until one-thirty, the hour schedul- ed for Good Night Ladies.” The guests will be accommodated in the infirmary, the senior corridor, and neighboring faculty houses.

CHUCK WEBB 1930 Announcement is made of the engagement of Gloster B. Aaron, of Norwalk, Connecticut, and Miss Anne Paige Emmet, of Erie, Penn- sylvania. Miss Emmet is a grad- uate of St. Timothy's School. Runny Aaron was graduated from Yale in 1934 and from Columbia I.aw School in 1937. He is with the 101st Cavalry at Fort Dovens, Massachusetts. 1937 Chuck Webb was killed in an airplane crash at Schenectady, New York, on January 18. He was piloting a two-place training plane and was accompanied by a Civil Aeronautics Administra- tion student. The student, order- ed by Chuck to bail out, parachut- ed to a plowed field and was un- hurt. Chuck crashed with the plane on farmland twelve miles north of the Schenectady airport. The plane had apparently devel- oped motor trouble. Chuck was an instructor in the civilian flying school at the Schenectady airport. He taught civilians and also Union College students who arc in the United States Government course in Civil- ian Pilot Training. Chuck was a popular and out- standing boy during his four years at Pawling. He was a good student and a fine athlete. He captained the swimming team in his senior year, was an excel- lent diver and holds school records in the 50-yard and 100- vard freestyle events. He was on the football team and was a pole vaulter on the track team. After graduation he attended Cornell University. 1938 Jack Kuntz and Mrs. Kuntz visited the school during the past week. They were married in the fall. Jack is with the Royal Can- adian Air Force in Canada and expects soon to transfer to the United States Air Force. 1940 Bob Gardiner is on the varsity basketball squad at Princeton University. Announcement is made of the engagement of Jarvis W. Nichols, of Hackensack, New Jersey, and Miss Nancy Sturges McGlone, of Plainfield, New Jersey. Miss Mc- Glone is a graduate of the Kent Place School for Girls, Summit, New Jersey. Both she and Mr. Nichols are now students at Cor- nell University. 1941 Vernon W.

The winners of the individual events took their respective races handily, and up to the medley relay Albany was lending. In this event a team composed of Greeff, Shethar, and Spurr placed Pawl- ing within range of their oppon- ents, with Greeff as the deciding factor. In the last event the -60- yard freestyle relay team won easily and gave Pawling the victory. Summary: 40-yard free style, 1st Swartz (P), 2nd R.

An added advantage is that dur- ing the activity period a hoy may consult his masters on difficult points in the work of the various courses. The new schedule also affords a time for extra work under super- vision for student's who have not met the requirements of a master in a given subject. Each member of the faculty has been assigned a day when he may have first call on a hoy’s time. This period runs from 2:00 to 2:45 P. M. There is the usual study hall from 7:30 to 8:30 in the evening for boys in E group and boys failing in one or more subjects. Boys in A or B group, however, are cxeused from all halls regard- less of academic standing. Buy U. S.

This is the kind of man who founded our country, who helped build it up from a struggling group of indi- vidual states to a great nation, and who is now making this country a land of freedom in fact as well .as name. Liberty, Mr. Chidsey declared, practised in this hard and earnest way, is not the liberty granted to the individual to disport himself as he pleases throughout the day. A real democracy based on the ideal of hard work by all has no place for the self-centered man who takes it as «a carte blanche to do just ns he wishes. Only by obedience to God’s way can we make this a world worth living in—a world with true liberty for all. _________________ Dr. Frederick Gamage Resumes Work at School The surprise appearance of Dr. Frederick Gamage, headmaster emeritus, at a recent assembly was greeted with hearty applause and general happiness on the part of the whole school. Dr. Gamage had been absent from the school since the week before Thanksgiv- ing, when he was suddenly forced to bed by a severe illness. One would never have realized, how- ever, that he had been sick at all from observing the way he walked into the room of cheering people. He greeted the school with a hearty wave of the hand and then proceeded to announce (Continued on page 6) Tomorrow afternoon the gates of Pawling will open to thirty-five mid-winter prom guests. The study-worn student body has been looking forward to this weekend with increasing impatience, and from the program arranged, it looks as though everybody were guaranteed an enjoyable time. The afternoon will open with the quintet defending its title against the Kent School. For those who are willing to stand King Winter’s icy clutches, there will he a hockey game with South Kent. At 5 P. M. the dramatics club will give its long awaited inter- pretation of “You Can’t Take It With You.” This promises to be very funny, and we have all been waiting to sec the comic scenes that have brought bursts of laughter from the rehearsal room. After the play, a buffet supper will be served in the dining room, from which the guests will retire to dress for the evening. The dance will begin at 9 P. M. with Newt Leighton providing the music. The first and last dances are reserved for the indi- vidual escorts. Many card and rotation dances have been plan- ned by Charles DeVinne, presi- dent of the dance committee. The senior smoking room will be open for those who wish to rest from their dancing. On Sunday the members of the fair sex will depart with their escorts, who will have both Sun- day and Monday off as a mid- term vacation. Kent and Berkshire Lose To Red and Black Team Pawling’s winning streak cov- ering two seasons was broken by a hist and sure-shooting Trinity five Saturday, February 7. By the score of -47-38 the visitors de- feated the hard-fighting Red and Black aggregation before a tense and excited crowd. At the end of the first quarter Pawling was ahead 11-10; but Trinity had brought the score up from 114 and by continuing Ibis streak through the second period led the Red and Black team 19-16 at the end of the half. Throughout the third quarter the score was regularly about even with the Blue and Gold three to five points ahead. During the last quarter, however, the visitors hit their stride and showed astounding accuracy in their shots. Captain Appleby played one of his best games of the season and followed Bill Clarke in scoring with a total of 11 points while the latter had 15.

A meeting of this group on Monday, January 6, was applied to learning the general topog- raphy and political divisions of that continent. Facts of great interest were brought out by Mr. Paul Temple, the president of Congress, concerning the com- parative modernity of the large Argentinan and Brazilian cities as opposed to the appalling back- wardness of the rural areas where ignorant and disease-rid- den Indians eke out a bare exist- ence in a virtual state of peonage.

The old type of achievement test in separate subjects has been re- placed by two papers to be given on April 11. The first is the Scholastic Apti- tude Test, which the Board has administered for some years and which has been found to be a highly reliable indication of fit- ness to do college wFork. The sec- ond is a Scholastic Achievement Test which will consist of nine sections of which each candidate takes three. These tests are of the objective type with short an- swers and are intended to be taken without the kind of ex- tensive drill which was involved in the older type of subject ex- aminations. The tests will be given at the Kent School on Saturday, April 11. PAGE TWO THE PAWLING RECORD FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1942 A TRIPLE PLAY Employe's Form DSS 228 —From the Columbus (Ohio) Citizen. Pawling Rallies to National Needs Showing their support of the defense-stamps and special Red Cross campaigns, the boys of Pawling have contributed more than $200 since the opening of the winter term. Under the leadership of Hal Enstice, the prefects have collected $81.95 toward the Pawling Red Cross quota of $5,000. The drive, conducted in this area by Mr. Doyle Leathers, is different from the annual membership drive in that the national $50,000,000 goal is to be used expressly for the relief of our lighting forces. Over two thirds of the students gave $1.00 or more. The above sum collected does not include faculty donations. Rill Flagg has sold more than $125 in defense stamps over a five-week period. If this average of $20 a week or more can be kept up until the end of the school year, a sum of $400 will be turned over to the government’s war effort. Many of the boys have pledged themselves to buy one 10c or 25c stamp a week, while several buy more than a dollar’s worth a week, taking this money from their weekly allowances.

The gaiety and joy of the dance is laid against a back- ground of war thundering in the distance. Uncertainty is over- shadowing the minds of many m these troubled times. These adverse circumstances, however, need not in any way interfere with our having a thoroughly good time. They should even enhance it if we stop to think how lucky we are to live in a country where such wholesome enjoyment is still pos- sible, threatened though it is by forces without. Our country is worth fighting for with every ounce of strength we have: it is a privlege to live in it and to derive strength and health therefrom. We must not take this enjoy- ment to be all a matter of milk and honey. This short interval of relaxation is taken only as a short rest to lxilster us to meet with more vigor and energy the tasks that lie ahead. Let us, therefore, use this one week-end as a privilege granted to us as a breathing space and a period of complete enjoyment. We must protect this privilege and the way of life it stands for, however, by harder work after the fun is over. It is our guests who make pos- sible a prom weekend. Therefore we take great pleasure in wel- coming them to Pawling to have a good time as well as to capture the spirit of the school. Alumni News 19 2 4 James D.

This play, “You Can’t Take It With You,” by Moss and Kaufman, has been in production for several months under the direction of Mr. Alan Chidsey, his assistant Howard Solomon, and Charles DeVinne, president of the club. The club is much indebted to Mr. John Comeal and the construction group for their work on the scenery as well as the numbers of the faculty and their wives who have aided in making the costumes and supplying the necessary stage props. It is unfortunate that the play cannot be given in the newly built theatre, to which Mr. Thomas Page and Mr. Corneal have devoted a great deal of time and thought, but owing to the failure of its heating system, this building cannot be used. It will, how- ever, be available for the production to be given in the spring.

On the theory that singing is not only fun but a definite part of one’s education, Mr. Jay Van Trawvcr, faculty director, has worked out a program which combines sound musical training with the enjoyment to he had in group singing. He has been aided by Howard Solomon, president, and James Spun , student director. Mr. Van Trawver's purpose has been to train the vocalists m sight reading and voice quality. Anyone with the desire to sing has been welcome, and to accommodate all stages of experience and musical ability, he has created within the glee club a double sextet, which in addition to forming a specialty group for concert perfor- mances, constitutes the chapel choir. The glee club made its first public appearance at the fall tea dance. Following this, it sang at the Pawling High School as part of the Christmas -rogram there and also otTered hymns and carols in the chapel for the candlelight service. Several joint concerts with other schools have been planned, the first being with Drew Seminary in Carmel. PAGE FOUR THE PAWLING RECORD FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1942 On Going to a Dance at Pawling, or, Anything Can Happen Once You’re Here. Dances at Pawling arc not just “Spun '’ of the moment affairs. They are planned for, enthusias- tically awaited, and carefully ar- ranged in every detail. The menus are prepared: Rare old tomato juice, Heinz, vintage of 1942; (Free) French rolls, native plover, known better as chicken; and a carefully measur- ed ounce of sugar for a crowning delicacy. Seniors are evacuated from the top corridor, rooms are dexterous- ly polished and in extreme cases swept, and letters and other in- criminating evidence are burned in order to prepare rooms for the guests. Meanwhile the infirmary tills up with numerous people suf- fering from that contagious dis- ease, overworkitis, (or, it s all Mr. Temple’s fault), but little do they know that they will also be evacu- ated from there so that the world’s real dictators may he quartered. On the night before the great day the dance committee puts its final touches on the ‘‘American Room” (nee study hall), the glee club has its final rehearsal, Maur- ice Evans DeVinne and Mr. Cecil B. de Chidsey feverishly complete try-outs for the play, while the school store imports tons of calo- mine lotion, zinc ointment, and odiferous after-shave lotion.s. Finally the last bell rings and everyone wearily wanders to his room. The night is quiet except for a few students who, suffering from an insomnia that they hope has not afflicted the masters, arc gingerly in search of food and companionship. The day arrives and life swings into action. Telephone calls are made, telegrams are sent, while Einstein quietly continues his brooding on the fourth dimen- sion. (Stop getting me off the subject!)

THE IMMORTAL LINES To shave, or not to shave—that depends on the razor: Whether tis soapier in the mug or on the Beard and bristles of outrageous whiskers is Decided by taking arms against a sea of lather And with a close one, cut them. To shave—to cut— No more; and by that shave to say we end The thousand natural bristles that flesh is Heir to. An electric one were devoutly To be wished. To shave—to cut— To cut—perchance the throat. Ay, there’s the rub. For in that shave of death what cuts may come While we do shave oil these mortal coils That make us itch. There’s the respect That makes calamity of too short a shave. For who would bear the whips and stings of blades That press us wrong when water is too chilly, The pangs of misplaced shave, the blue-chinned day, The stuffs that try to heal us, and the burns That suff’ring visage of th’ un- steady takes, When he himself (by accident) might his quietus make With barber’s razor? Who would these torments bear, To grunt and swear at wearying shave, But that the dread of not shaving The undiscovered country, from whose beard No barber will return—puzzles the will, And makes us rather tear those j hairs we have Than let grow others we know not of? Thus fashion does make smooth chins of us all. And thus the native line of face never is Bearded over with a black and hairy cast. And long ones of great length and ’pea ranee With this regard are razor’d all away And lose the name of whiskers.

The plebes, after a hard-fought battle, emerged victorious 50. The cadets started a fast rally which Pawling repulsed. Pawl- ing in possession of the puck showed good team work and made several thrilling attacks on the Army goal, but in every case the plebe goalie turned aside the onslaught. Captain Pastorficld and goalie Chuck DeYinne played outstanding games for Pawling. Gunnery 9, Pawling 3 The Pawling stickmen went down to defeat at the hands of a strong Gunnery team 9-3 on I Gunnery ice February 4. Al- though Pawling put up a good offensive, its defensive ability fell off and allowed Gunnery several chances at the Pawling goal. Pawling scored its first goal mid-way in the first period when Irv Waters, on a pass from Stan Porter, lifted the puck on a back- hand shot past the Gunnery goalie into the net. The second came in the second period, when Thad Thorne, on a solo dash down the ice, shot the puck neat- ly into the Gunnery cage. Cap- tain Pastorfield accounted for the last Pawling goal when in the second period he took a pass from Porter and dented the twine with a low shot. Credit must be given to the sec- ond line of Kuvk, Cluett, and Hadley, and to defensemen Nason and Landers for their fine work.

Pawling 62, Berkshire 27 The Pawling quintet maintain- ed its slight lead over Taft in the Tri-State League by defeating Berkshire here, G2-27, January 28. At the end of the half, led by captain Ted Appleby and Bill Clarke in scoring, the Red and Black aggregation had a decisive 31-15 lead which they kept and even increased during the next two quarters when most of the squad saw action. Pom Smith played his usual fine defensive game while Enstice, Waters and Davis upheld the offense. En- stice rolled up the imposing score of 24 points while not having a single foul called against him. Berkshire, captained by the able guard Heller, was led in scoring by Meehan who totaled li points while Keator, making 7, came next. The home team out- played its opponents throughout the game and the outcome was not in doubt from the first whistle. Pawling 45, Kent 25 Pawling won its fifth league game in overcoming Kent, 45-25, on the latter’s court February 4.

This country is filled with music and laughter much of the time, but large min ing and in .ustrial work brings in a rich income. For some three thousand miles the world’s larg- est river, the Amazon, makes its way through the steaming forests of the unexplored equatorial regions to the Atlantic coast. In giving a report on Bolivia, Otis Angier showed that it was an astounding nation, one half of which is sweltering lowlands while the other is a high plateau. The former is practically unin- habited, whereas in the latter modem industry and mining is carried on at an altitude of from twelve to eighteen thousand feet, far higher than the tallest peak in this country. With these as typical examples of the problems and advantages of our neighbors to the south, the continuation of this discus- sion should be useful in giving a clear understanding of the rest of this hemisphere.

Y., FEBRUARY 25, 1942 NUMBER TEN Pawling Quintet Defeats Kent, Gunnery Teams Bows to Taft in Race For League Leadership One of the main attractions of the dance weekend was the sweeping victory of the Pawling quintet over the Kent five, the former undoubtedly being greatly inspired by the many girls pres- ent. The Pawling team was never threatened throughout the game, running up 23 points in the first quarter, and holding its opponents scoreless for the same period. At the end of the first half the score stood 38-11. The scores at the end of the third quarter and the end of the game were 41-18 and 58-32, respectively. Hal Enstice with 18 points, Frank Waters with 16. and Bill Clarke with 14 were the main contributors to the Pawling score. Captain Appleby added 6 points to the final tally. Pom Smith played his usual fine game at right guard. Substitutes Tolies, Klrchmaier, Miller, and Merkel saw action. Leading scorer for the Kent team was their captain and If ft forward, Bailey, with 10 points to his credit. After the game the Pawling players were host to the Kent team at a tea held in the senior smoking room. Pawling 52, Gunnery 8 In the eighth game of its sea- son the Pawling quintet captured its sixth victory by defeating the Gunnery School 52-8. The game opened with Gun- nery scoring the first 4 points. At this point it looked as though the game would be nip and tuck all the way, but the Red and Black’s offensive began to take effect. In the opinion of Coach Leathers the quintet played the best ball dur- ing the second quarter it has played this year. Bill Clarke and Hal Enstice tied with 18 points apiece for high scorer, while Appclby, Smith and Waters capably filled their positions and set up many baskets for the men in the forward posi- tions. (Continued on page 3) Congress Discusses Life in South America The Pawling School Congress carried on its studies of South America on Monday, February 9, by a discussion of those nations which form the Pacific coast and the three Guianas. William Hunt, speaking first, showed the dif- ficulties and advantages of Chile. It lias always been a country greatly dependent on the sea be- cause all it really is is a long thin coastline backed up by a high range of mountains. This makes transportation easier since it is largely done by sea. Its great problem is its German popula- tion and how to treat it during these times when the government is on the verge of breaking off relations with Germany. In the lake district of the country, which is in the central-southern part, there is a colony of Germans that is so numerous, so well organiz- ed, and so powerful that it is really a force which if put into arms would be difficult to get under control. The Chileans, by the results of their recent elec- tions, have shown that they arc willing to brave a civil war to (Continued on page 4) Colds Force Early End to Swimming Season Pawling swimmers of the past doubtless have wondered why no accounts have appeared recently in The Record about the fortunes of this year’s team. The season, they will recall, be- gan with a triumph over Albany Academy. Shortly thereafter a wave of colds so decimated the ranks of the team that it was con- sidered unwise to continue the season further. A practically snowless winter has been held partly to blame for the prevalence of cold germs in the air. Those who are disappointed that the swimmers were unable to finish the season may take com- fort in the thought that the team enjoyed an undefeated record. 36 Mid-Winter Prom Of Sports, Dramatics Pawling Players Present Broadway Comedy Hit For Prom Guests Nearly rolling its audience in- to the aisles, the dramatics club presented its long-awaited pro- duction of “You Can’t Take It With You” on the night of Satur- day, February 14, as several Pawl- ing students showed excellent act- ing ability. The play, a famous Broadway comedy hit by Moss and Kaufman, was given as the feature entertainment of the mid- winter prom weekend. That it was one of the most ambitious and successful drama- tic projects the school has seen in some years was due mostly to the expert and untiringly, ener- getic direction of Alan Lake Chid- sey, acting headmaster. That it brought laugh after laugh from the audience was due to the intel- ligent and carefully rehearsed work of the cast. The central theme of the play lay in the fun to be had in this world by people who cease their daily striving for fame and riches and devote their days to doing what they really enjoy. Such a family was the Sycamores, whose way of living received a sharp jolt when the affections of daugh- ter Alice for a rich young broker brought them all into conflict with a directly opposite philoso- phy of life. The central character was Grandpa Sycamore, whose small income supported the whole fam- ily plus whatever stray people wanted to live with them. Laures- ton Dobbrow showed maturity of judgment in his interpretation of this part and was really excel- lent, while Robert Davis, as Boris Kolenkhov, carried off top comedy (Continued on page 4) Quests Enjoy Program and Dancing School in Holiday Mood For Annual Festivities Amid the patriotic decoration of the school room, the students of Pawling and their partners, ac- companied by the music of Newt Leighton and his orchestra, made a great success of the mid-winter prom on February 14.

These agents are assisted by Jim Pollock and Harvey Hamber. Starting their campaign for sub- scriptions this year during the early season football practice, they have signed up 23 subscrib- ers each for the daily issues of their respective papers. What would otherwise be a tie, however, lias resulted in a slight edge for the Times, there being 44 sub- scribers to its Sunday edition to 35 for the Tribune.

Bacon. Jr. THINK OF IT THIS WAY In a school for older boys, whore wo arc all supposed to bo gentlemen and have learned all the requirements for completo ease in the company of others, the masters want to treat the boys as adults. They do not wish to reprimand a boy for petty viola- tions of etiquette such as reach- ing across the table and not ris- ing when a woman or older person walks into a room. Many of the hoys mistake this re- luctance to humiliate the wrong- doer for just plain laxity, which it is not. One should, therefore, realize when he lias committed an act of rudeness and resolve to correct it immediately. Let us for a moment turn to a few of the instances in which we all, at some time or other, fail to live up to what the masters and their wives expect of us. Two of these instances arise from an awkwardness which is, upon closer examination, groundless. The first is the matter of rising when a woman or older person comes into a room. Boys often remain seated because they think they look silly when they get up and down all the time. They look even sillier, however, if they do not get up, and. what is worse, cast a reflection on their families. Another uncomfortable situa- tion one sometimes gets into is seeing a woman or older person approach a closed door. He wonders if he is too far away to reach the door in time, and often decides that he is for fear of the awkwardness of running forward to do this task and arriving too late. It is better to look ridi- culous than to lose the chance to do something polite. While cases of this sort, may ho in part excused, others have no grounds except selfishness. Es- pecially is this tine of table man- ners. Boys arc much too liable to serve themselves first .and the masters second.

The fast-skating Berkshire stickmcn scored two goals in each period. The Pawling team, unable to get its offense going, had to fall back and play a defensive game. KENT For its second game the team 1 traveled to Kent and met with ' another loss, 8-0. The Kent team’s , passing was superb, and the Pawling boys were unable to cope with it. Pawling in the last period started a rally, but after a few uneventful skirmishes in front of the Kent cage the game ended. ARMY PLEBS Playing on the spacious army rink the Pawling hockey team i met its third straight loss. The plebs shot five goals into the Pawling net, while Pawling was unable to score any. Although the Red and Black played its best hockey to that time, it missed several opportunities to score. GUNNERY Taking the road again for its fourth game the Pawling skaters engaged Gunnery. Although the team scored its first goals of the season it was unable to win the game. Irv Waters, Thome, and Captain Pastorfield each scored. Gunnery won the fray 9-3. HOTCHKISS On Hotchkiss ice the Pawling stickmen allowed their oppon- ents three goals but were unsuc- cessful in scoring any themselves in the fifth game of the season. Pawling started a fast attack, but Flowers for All Occasions JOHN C. COOKE Dial 2421 Pawling, N. Y. lit faded mid-way in the first ! period. Hotchkiss managed to I push the puck past goalie DeVinne once in the first and twice in the (second period. The third period Pawling put up a good defense and held the home team to no score. The final count was 3-0 in favor of Hotchkiss. TAFT Playing again on their oppon- ents’ ice, Pawling lost to Taft, 5-0, in its sixth game. Although Pawling threatened the Taft cage several times, it was unable to break through to the goal. The Taft team presented a fast first line and an excellent defense. SOUTH KENT For its last game of the sea- son, the team went on the ice de- termined to win, but let its op- ponents score four of their seven goals in the first period. Tighten- 1 ing its defense and organizing its ‘striking power, Pawling then went ahead to put on its best game of the season. Captain Pas- torfield scored all three of his team’s goals. The first line of Pastorfield, Waters, and Porter; the second line of Kuyk, Cluett, and Hadley; and defensemen Thorne, Nason, and Landers all looked their best in this game. DeVinne in the cage turned away many a potential goal. The final score was South Kent 6, Pawl- ing 3.

Third and Fourth Forms Choose Junior Council Many Assured Experience By Rotating Membership To provide future Senior Pre- fects with the experience neces- sary for a full and cfTirient handl- ing of the varied and often diffi- cult situations arising in connec- tion with promoting and main- taining discipline throughout the school, a junior council, with a rotating membership, has been formed. Members were chosen by vote from the Third and Fourth Forms. Hampton Kirchmaier, president of the Fourth Form, was elected as the first chairman of this group. Westi Hansen, David Cluett, and Richard Over- ton are the other Fourth Form members, while the Third Form elected Bartow Fisk and Stanley Porter as its representatives. To give as many boys as pos- sible adequate training, a new Fourth Former will be added each three weeks to replace a member who has already served his term. Prior to his replacement, a Fourth Former will serve as chairman. The Third Form, with fewer responsibilities, will replace its two members bi-weekly.

Roth teams were tied lor the championship, each hav- ing won nine and lost one. The Pawling quintet was led by Cap- tain Appleby and the Taft aggre- gation by Captain Baldisiu. The game was extremely tight until the final quarter when Taft spurted ahead to win 32 to 20. Both teams took the floor deter- mine I to win, and in the first three periods it was anybody’s game. The defensive play was ex- ceptional and Taft’s dead-eye shots combined with Pawling's beautiful team work provided the finest basketball. Neither team was ahead by more than 4 points in the first half and each team matched the other basket for Insket. High scorer of the game was Andrews of Taft with 12 points. He was closely followed by En- sure of Pawling and Miller of Taft both with 10 points apiece. Captain Ted Appleby excelled at guard position and scored 6 points.

The thought of being closed up in a little house which is absolutely invisible from the outside gives one a feeling of loneliness and self-dependence that few' other things can do. The many small hamlets and towns of this county underwent such a trial air raid the evening of March 27 from 9 to 9:15 P. M. All the people were warned ahead of time and instructions were carefully given and as carefully carried out. Street lights all over the dis- trict were extinguished; lights in houses were either put out or the windows were so covered as to make the building invisible from the air: wardens for the various parts checked un to see that all these things were done satisfac- torily, an 1 at the end of the alert life went back to normal as one by one the lights blinked back (Continued on page 3) New Typing Class Attracts 20 Members Fumbled clickings and the commanding voice of the instruct- or.

Jr. THE JUNIOR PREFECTS The plan of establishing a junior council with rotating mem- bership is a constructive step taken toward solving the problem of how to equip hoys from the lower forms with the experience necessary to serve with full and expanding effectiveness as Senior Prefects. While it is true that in any senior class certain l oys come to the fore as natural leaders of the school, the point remains that the host leader is the trained leader, one who has become familiar with the problems of his office and the best means to solve them. This is as true in a school as it is in the government of an entire nation. Under the plan as it now op- erates, elections will he held at stated intervals to replace council members with new prefects drawn from the Third ami Fourth Forms. We see in this a hidden benefit which runs deeper than the expressed purpose of provid- ing the greatest number with the most experience. We see here a plan, which, by its eventual in elusion of a large fraction of the two forms, will draw the atten lion of boys to the need for in- telligent participation in all phases of school life. A Third Former who has once sat in council to thrash out a problem of which he was only vaguely aware the week before can never he the same again. His eyes are open not only to situations around him hut to the need for doing something about them. So it is here we feel that the greatest good lies, for obviously of all the Junior Prefects only a few will ever heroine Senior Pre- fects. Those that do, however, will themselves he lit for their responsibilities and find that they are working in an atmosphere of understanding and sympathy for all they are trying to do.

Confirmation classes have become a traditional part of the winter program here and arc open to all who wish to become members of the Episcopal Church. Spiritual Force Needed In his address to the newly- confirmed communicants. Bishop Campbell urged upon them the need for translating physical into spiritual force. “Winning the war by physical means is necessary,” he said, “but not enough. We must bring into play an equally powerful spiritual force if we are to bring the kingdom of Christ on earth.” It is up to those, he declared, who have taken the derision to fight the Christian battle to pro- mote this spiritual force in every way possible. “It is a serious step you have taken, he said, “and the church means it to he serious. This is n time when all our hearts and minds must he devoted to the work of Christ. Following the confirmation Bishop Campbell blessed the two new flags that have been given the school by the graduating class of 1942. The first of these is the national banner, while the second is the Pawling School flag. They will he placed per- manently in the chapel. A til’st communion service for those recently confirmed was conducted here by Father W. S. Chalmers, O. II. C., headmaster of the Kent School, Sunday, March 8.

Mr. Chidsey then pointed out the three main stages of spiritual development. The first, he de- clared, is the age in which we mainly live “from others. In this age we are infants and de- pend entirely upon our parents and friends. This age is the most simple of all. The second age he discussed was the age in which we live “with” others. It is in this age that we cooperate with others to maintain peace and to further our own aims. It is during this time that we obey the laws of society and attend to our own business, hoping others will do the same. The third and last age is the age in which we live “for' others. This is the hardest stage, because it calls for sacrifice of personal interests. To emphasize his point, Mr. Chidsey told of the (Continued on page 4) JUNIOR PREFECTS (Continued from page 1) directly with the Senior Prefects and under the guidance of Mr. Nona I Ha con. Aside from having certain duties of a routine nature, they will be responsible for the solution of problems arising among I he lower forms. “At no time,” said Mr Bacon, in explain- ing their responsibilities, ‘‘will these prefects be allowed to pre- sent their problems for faculty discussion. Only through being entirely on their own will they develop the judgment necessary for their work. Problems beyond their scope they will present to the Senior Prefects.” Mr. Alan Chidsey, in speaking to them at their first meeting, stressed the part they could play in helping younger boys over the rough spots. “You are the only ones,” he said, “who can lend a hand at the time it is most need- ed. The masters can do much, but you are on the front line. The spirit of the school in the years to come depends to a large extent on how you boys tackle your job. BLACKOUT (Continued from page 1) on in the various houses. The practice this offers to the inhabi- tants of the district makes this precautionary blackout a very serious afTair involving the most attentive consideration from par- takers. The purpose is to make people realize that raids are a possibility to be taken seriously, to teach them what to do in case one should come, and to get them familial- enough with actual ex- perience so that they will not be- come panicky in the real even- tuality. Organization by Wardens The boys in school had pre- viously received their instructions as to what to do and how to do it so that when the alarm sounded there was little excitement, no noise, no confusion, but a gen- eral appearance of efficiency. The masters attended to their super- visory duties; the junior wardens went about their jobs, and the hoys followed orders and went to their assigned shelters with a minimum of disturbance. A special place for the small child- ren was provided, while the dogs accompanied their owners. Medi- cal supplies and professional equipment were brought from the infirmary to the senior smoking room where Miss Wilson had a miniature hospital prepared !o take care of casualties. School Dark in Eight Minutes The school completely dark- ened itself in eight minutes. Cur- tains covered all windows in rooms where the lights were to be kept on and corridor switches were thrown thus insuring that no slip-up could occur there. Prep- arations such as food, water, and facilities of all kinds were suffi- cient to cover the needs of a max- imum of sixteen hours. Food and coffee were either made or were ready to be made while supplies of all kinds were on hand in ample quantity in all depart- ments. The blackout was a complete success as far as the school was concerned and appeared to be equally well run in all divisions of the district. Let us hope that no occasion will ever rise to force us to test the efficiency of the or- ganization, but if it ever should, the school is ready to meet the emergency calmly and efficiently.

Discovered by a Portuguese mariner in 1500,” he said, the land and its first ac- tual settlement was named Vera Cruz, and later when it became a Portuguese colony under So a, it was given the native name of Bra- zil. After the revolution in the early nineteenth century Don Pedro became emperor. Iuiter its present dictator, Vargas, became the first popular ruler to last.” Alistair Nentsky gave an ac- count of Simon Bolivar’s accom- plishments. Living for forty- seven years, from 1783 to 1830, he said, “Bolivar was born of a noble family and was later known as the liberator. When Napoleon put bis brother on the throne of Spain in 1810, Bolivar led Venez- uela, Peru, Colombia, and Bolivia in a successful revolution which was aided by the Monroe Doc- trine.” This man’s intemationalis- ti«■ plans, however, led to distrust and he died in exile a disappoint- ed general.

Pawling captured only one first place and one relay, while Canterbury took five first places and one relay. The most exciting race of the afternoon was the 180 yard free- style relay. The race was even until anchor men Hansen of Paw- ling and Cudahy of Canterbury fought it out for the last 40 yards. Hansen swam a beautiful race, beating Cudahy by several feet. The most spectacular event from the point of view of endur- ance was the 220-yard freestyle. Bill Flagg of Pawling raptured the lead from the beginning and ai no time during the race was he challenged. Bill has worked hard this year, and his time of 2.38 shows that he lias been well rewarded. The summary is as follows: 10 yd freestyle: first Cudahy (C) second Swartz (P), third Mac- Aleenan (C).

Dramatics Club to Give “The Ghost Train” After having successfully presented its brilliant pro- duction of “You Can’t Take It With You on February 14, the dramatics club almost immediately started casting a new play. Mr. Alan Chidsev, the director, chose for the new pro- duction a mystery play of three acts written by Arnold Ridley, called “The Ghost Train . This mystery play was first pre- sented at the Elstinge Theatre, New York City. Many boys, including veterans of the first play as well as new prospects, are trying out for the twelve parts. The action of the play takes place in the waiting room of the rail- way station at Clear Vale Junction on a branch line near Rockland, Maine. Mr. Chidsev held the first tryouts for the play on March 3, hut the parts have not been definitely as- signed as yet. “The Ghost Train is to be presented in the new theatre, on which the work-squad has been hammering for months, on the day before commencement in June. The play enjoyed perhaps its greatest popularity in Boston, where the lead was taken by K. K. Clive, later to ap- pear in comedy parts on the screen.

In closing his sermon, Mr. Chidsey used an emphatic sen- tence that lie urged should be the motto for us all, The only true satisfaction in living is living for others.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11. 1942 THE PAWLING RECORD PAGE FIVE Pawling Seniors Favor Accelerated College Entrance Plan, Recent Poll Reveals Much interest and discussion has recently attached to the advisability of entering college under the accelerated plan, where- by secondary-school graduates may enter college in June. By ac- cepting a minimum of vacations, the student who enters college under this plan may complete his course of study in a year to a year and a half less than under the normal program. Six representative Pawling seniors were asked the question: “Do you believe that members of the graduating classes should attend the accelerated program in college beginning in June? Four answered affirmatively, one negatively, while one believed the question depended upon the future plans of the individual. Those who answered yes” felt that it was necessary to get as much college training as possible before being called to service. Two boys em- phasized the value of higher education in the post-war period. The results of the questionnaire are herewith given. Howard Solomon I feel that the class of ’42 should attend the accelerated course, because college is too im portant a division in one's life to he missed unnecessarily. Norman Shethar Marion Lewis Pom Smith Robert Davis Gus Swartz I believe that seniors should go to college in June, because a college education is going to he valuable after the war, and it will he good to get as much as possible. I believe that the type of course, either ac- celerated or regular, should be decided by the student himself, depending on the type of study and the possibility of future military life that he is to pursue. I believe that students should attend the ac- celerated course, because it will give them an opportunity to complete at least part of their college course before being conscripted into the army or navy. I do not believe boys should attend the accel- erated course, because they can get the educa tion they want after they get out of the war. I believe graduates who would not be able to complete a regular college education should commence in the accelerated course beginning in June, because it will be next to impossible to continue their education after the war, and young men with high academic training are going to be needed for the reconstruction in the post-war period.

The old board has run into many difficul- ties throughout the course of the past year, but if has done as good a job as it knew how to do. The new board w ill probably run into difficulties too, maybe worse than ours, but at least we may he sure that they will put all they have into the Record to make it a good newspaper. Heading the staff is Ernest Greeff, wrho has worked hard for three years and shown his great (Continued on page 3) New Donations Swell Page Library Shelves Mrs. Archibald R.

Among the books included are part of the Manda- lay Edition of Kipling, including the better know stories such as: “Stalky and Company,” “Puck of Pook’s Hill,” and “Soldiers Three.” Other books included are: Falcons of France,” “Huckle- berry Finn ’ Treasure Island,” “Gone With The Wind, Vanity Fair,” and many more. This donation brings the Page library up to about 500 books, including biographies, verse, novels, and sea stories. These hooks are available to the stu- dent body. Pawling Athletes, Numbering 52, Receive Sports Awards Over fifty per cent of the boys of Pawling School received letters at the winter sports ban- quet, held the evening before the spring vacation started. The whole school gathered in the dining room for this finale to the winter-sports program. The,speaker of the evening was Alan Lake Chidsey, acting headmaster, who addressed the boys briefly on the function and purpose of athletics. He said, “Some play for fame, some for victory, and some for fun and sportsmanship.” He stressed that one cannot use his athletic fame later in life when he is seeking a permanent job. He then con- cluded by saying that sports should be played not for fame but for the sportsmanship ob- tained while playing. Mr. Chid- sey cited an example of a good athletic program in the system used by St. Paul’s School; name- ly, the intra-mural games, which, he said, arouse as much en- thusiasm and sportsmanship as inter-school play. Gifts were made to the several coaches by the captains of the three winter sport teams. While letters had been award- ed previously to members of the football team, they received their inscribed certificates at this time. All team members this year are being rewarded with such certi- ficates, the distinction between major and minor sports having been abolished. Basketball Letters in fii t team basketball went to Appleby, Capt., Clarke, Davis, Enstice, Smith, F. Waters, Kirchmaier, Mille r, Tolies, Merkel, Lewis, Mgr.

Formerly he was head of the Mathematics Depart- ment, teaching Intermediate Al- gebra, Advanced Algebra, and Trigonometry. Mr. Elliott has been with t h e Pawling School ever i n c e its founding un- der Dr. Gam- age. Roth f o r m e r I y taught, at St. Paul’s School in Garden City, Long Is- land. Resides being Secretary of the Alumni, Mr. Elliott will he Editor of the Alumni Quarterly, a maga- zine which will henceforth be published four times a year. The whole school joins heartily in welcoming Mr. Elliott back in- to its ranks. Being acquainted with every boy ever to be gradu- ated from Pawling, no one could be more suited to the task of handling the interests of the ever- increasing number of alumni. New Appointment To Pawling School Staff The newest member of the faculty of Pawling is John H. Funk, who came here following the spring vacation. He is taking Mr. Morison Brigham’s place as teacher of French and German. Mr. Funk went to the Hill School in preparation for college form which he was graduated in 1937. He attended Harvard Uni- versity where he was a soloist in the glee club. He graduated in 19il Magna Cum Laude, obtain- ing an A. R. degree. He went into the army two weeks after leaving college, where he served for half a year as a crypt analyst. Enthusiastic Pawling Support Found Among Widespread Alumni by A. L. Chidsey There is a fraternity among air travelers. Maybe it’s because everybody will get there or no- body will. At any rate, there were two army officers who were changing jKists on four hours notice; three salesmen who were trying to master the new techni- que of persuading customers not to buy; a congressman who waggled an index finger like a club at a man who was always on the thershhold, but never over the sill, of expressing his opin- ion; a C.

O. who, given another hour, would have sold” the navy to one of the army officers; two engineers who lived in Colorado but were so busy with the reor- ganization of production lines that they hadn’t seen Colorado for fourteen months, a little lady out of Dickens who just couldn't understand why there were hard times when so little ground be- low her was actually being used; and I, who was embarking on a trip of five thousand miles know- continued on page 2) New Representatives Join Junior Council The Junior Council recently held its first new election since its founding. Peter Law was elected by the Fourth Form to take the place of Richard Over- ton, while Peter Drummond and Mark Munsill have replaced Bar- tow Fisk and Stanley Porter as representatives for the combined Second and Third Forms. Every three weeks one member is elected by the Fourth Form, which is represented by four of the six members of the council. One is dropped out by rotation. The Second and Third Forms re- place their two representatives every two weeks. Those left in the council from the first elect- ion are David Cluett, chairman, VVesti Hansen, and Hampton Kirchmaier.

Bacon, Jr. A PLEDGE FOR THE FUTURE According to tradition, tlm senior staff of the Record retires after spring vacation to study for the college boards and final examinations. The retiring board appoints members of the lower forms to fill its shoes for the next Record year. At this time it is proper to review the accomplish- ments and progress of the Record in the past year, and to state the editorial policy for the ensuing year. In this past year, the Record has made epic-making changes. First: The Record and the Scroll, the school yearbook, have been combined into one unit railed the Record-Scroll. This step was taken to coordinate all news coverage and all financial assets so that a program planned at the beginning of the year may he followed throughout the school term. In this way a balanced budget is assured. Second: The Record lias re- duced the size of its page. This smaller size has been adopted so the Records can he hound in the hack of the Scroll. This change has been made to give the seniors a clearer and wider view of the year. Third: The Record has changed its style, using, where possible, the New York Times as its model. Wc have tried to shorten the length of our articles in order to give a shorter and more interest- ing review of school activities. Fourth: The editorial policy has been stabilized to fill a con tributive role in the life of the school. The editorials have been more of the constructive type rather than flat criticism without suggested remedies. The policy of a school newspaper is not to crusade hut to mould and present school opinion as best it can. Although many mistakes have been made, it is the opinion of the new staff that definite pro- gress and advancements have been made toward building the Record into one of the best small- school newspapers in the country. To this end we of the new staff pledge ourselves to the best of our ability. FORMER MASTER HERE WEDS Miss Ella Brock Garret, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Garret of Roland Park, Baltimore, was married to Mr. Morison Brigham, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence B.

Mr. and Mrs. Brigham will live in Minneapolis, where Mr. Brig- ham will teach French and Ger- man at the Blake Country Day School. Mr. Brigham has been as- sociated with the language de- partment at Pawling for the last two years.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1942 PAGE THREE THE PAWLING RECORD Pawling School Masters And Wives, in Joint Defense Effort In a recent survey among the masters, their wives, and others connected with the school and active in civilian defense, it was discovered that over three quart ers of those concerned are parti- cipating in one or more activities. The majority of the masters’ wives are doing canteen work. Mrs. Alan Lake Chidsey is Pawling re presen tative of the Dutchess County Canteen Chap- ter. Others studying nutrition are Miss Lillian Wilson, Mrs. Evelyn Monger, Mrs. R. J. Short lidge, and Mrs. Neil Ilalkyard.

Compliments of PAWLING PHARMACY Pawling 55-Gunnery 20 The Pawling basketball team opened its 1942 race for the con- tinued leadership of the Tri-State League by defeating the Gunnery five at Pawling January 17. Cap- tain Appleby and Ilal Enstice starred for the home team, the latter scoring 36 points. The last part of the game saw Frank Waters, Ham Kirchmaier, Art Miller, Dave Merkel, and Pete Tolies playing for the Red and Black. Ives with 11 points was Gunnery’s high scorer, while Cap- tain Kendall played a good de- fensive game. Pawling 37-Taft 27 In its first game with its most feared opponents the Red and Black players came up from be- hind to heat a fast Taft team by the score of 37-27 January 21. Taft started strong and led by Miller stayed ahead by a slight margin until the half. Cap- tain Appleby, Clarke, and En- stice aided by Pom Smith's de- fensive play quickly passed the visitors and led 23-15 at the end of the third quarter. Bob Davis was high scorer for the Pawling quintet with 12 points while Ro- wan of Taft made 9. Pawling 56-Canterbury 26 At New Milford the Pawling team won its third victory of the season over a scrappy Canter- bury five January 24. All the substitutes for Pawling saw action in this game, which was never close, while Clarke ran up the huge total of 27 points to lead the Pawling five. F. King led Canterbury with 12 followed b Captain O’Brien with 6. Pawling 62-Berkshire 27 Enstice, Clarke and Appleby led the Pawling scorers to this victory over Berkshire, which in- creased the winning streak to four games for the season. Pawling 45-Kent 25 Continuing its lead in the race for the Tri-State League penant by defeating its fifth adversary, the Pawling team February 4 overcame Kent in a game which witnessed fine playing by Ham Kirchmaier, Frank Waters, Art Miller, Pete Tolies, and Merkel as subsititucs during much of the second half. Pawling 38-Trinity 47 Indulging in a non-league game Pawling met its first defeat February 7 at the hands of a stronger, more experienced Trin- ity team. Led by Budko, their tall center, and Kaiser, a dead- shot forward, with 12 points each, the Trinity team came from be- hind in the second quarter and lead all the rest of the game. Bill Clarke topped the Red and Black’s scoring attack with 15 points while Ted Appleby had 11 to his credit. Waters substituted lor Davis during some of the game. Pawling 35-Taft 36 This thriller, played at Taft February 11, was the Pawling quintet’s first league defeat and placed them tied with Taft for the league championship. Be- hind at the end of the first quar- ter, the visitors ended the second quarter one point ahead. Again in the third period Pawling led by one point, 27-26. A quick Taft scoring streak, however, put them several baskets ahead and a last minute Pawling attack was not sufficient to save the game. Rowan of Taft had 14 points to his credit while Hal Enstice had 12 to lead the Red and Black.

He has many constructive and novel ideas which will un- doubtedly add life and interest to the paper. Assisting him is Ed- ward Brockie, a good writer who has offered great service to the Record during the past year. Fit- ting the position to the need, he has been appointed Literary Edi- tor, a new post, with the job of handling all written material be- sides writing the more important articles for each issue.. Frank Prior will continue in his present position of Business Manager, which he has filled so capably throughout the past three months. In his hands the finances of the Record-Scroll should remain in good condition. He will be helped by Brinton Jack. Hammond Hardin, William Hunt, and Richard Overton will comprise the literary staff at the beginning, and it is expected that more will be added. Schuyler Burton is again going to do the work of mailing out all the papers to the alumni and parents, a trying duty which he performs efficiently. The retiring hoard wishes these boys the best of luck for the com- ing year and advises them that it is not so hard if they work conscientiously and do not let the work pile up. We know!!

Pawling 49—Berkshire 26 In this game the Red and Black five met unexpected resis- tance in the form of an early at- tack that kept Berkshire in the lead throughout the first, and much of the second quarter. The game, played at Berkshire Febru- ary 25, offered Enstice and Clarke many openings to score 42 of the 49 points while Captain Appleby scored the rest. Opposed to this concentration of attack, the high est Berkshire scorer was Captain I Valles with 7 points. Pawling 46—Gunnery 22 Finishing its regular season, but still having a playoff against Taft, the Red and Black quintet again started late in defeating Canterbury at Pawling March 4. The game was marked by the fierce swiftness of the players and the good defense put up by both teams. Pawling 20-Taft 32 To determine the championship of the Tri-State League, Pawl- ing and Taft met March 7 on the Kent court. The game was close ly fought until the fourth quarter when Taft edged ahead to win 32 to 20. This year’s team has been the highest scoring team in the school’s history with a total of 553 points. Of these Enstice scored 185 and Clarke 170. Cap- tain Appleby was next with 83. Compliments of MILLARD SON POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. Compliments of E. M. KANDELL Dutchess Pharmacy Pawling, N. Y.

Ransom Comfort, of the South Park Presbyterian Church in Newark, N. J., declared in his ser- mon in chapel on Sunday, April 2fi. Mr. Comfort opened his sermon by declaring that we should step hack and view the world as an artist would in studying a paint- ing. In viewing the world from such a position we see that the forces of Christianity are fight- ing to overcome the powers of evil in the world. Mr. Com- fort supported his views by men- tioning the gallant fight of the Norwegian Church. He said that a thousand priests walked out of their pulpits in protest against the Nazi regime. lie cited an interesting story about the brave and gallant fight of Christianity in Holland. He said that when the Germans made the Dutch Jews wear the star of Israel in order to define thorn from the rest of the people, the Christians also wore the star of Israel, thus completely baffling the Germans. In closing, Mr. Comfort said that when the sign of the son of man appears as a cross in the heavens, we will all realize the spiritual value of Christianity and peace will come into the world.

Victrolas Reach School In Record Time After Boycott is Lifted Approximately thirty minutes following a prefect meeting, •� barrage of v i c t ro I a s hurst throughout the school building. Gasps of amazement were heard. Awe-struck students and flaber- gasted masters were seen pacing the corridors bewilderedly. How on earth could a request he sent home and he answered by fifteen pounds of victrola within thirty minutes of their legalization? When asked this question, the majority, those who did not have victrolas, was stupified. Upon popular request, the use of victrolas has been granted as an experimental measure. Their legalization was adopted on the grounds that no records he bor- rowed and the noise kept to a minimum. Every indication thus tar points toward their continued use. The most recent appointment to the faculty of Pawling is Mr. L. M. Baxter. He is taking Mr. John Corneal's place as instruct- or of Mechanical Drawing and supervisor of arts and crafts. Mr. Baxter attended the Mass- achusetts School of Art from which he was graduated in 1914, obtaining a R. S. degree. He has taught in Cleveland, Ohio, and in Rutland. Vermont. For fifteen years he was a coun- selor at a summer camp in Maine. Mr. Baxter was here previously six years ago when ho supervised the buying and installing of the equipment for the metal and woodworking shops in Barstow. A Word of Thanks To the Retiring Staff The newly appointed staff of the Record wishes to pay the tri- bute that is due to the members of the staff who were forced to retire in order that they might spend all their time on studying in preparation for their entrance into college. All seniors that retired leave the staff with all the admiration and thanks of the whole school for their loyal service to the school in the publication of the Record. Norman Shethar, industrious editor since last April, regretfully retired from service after the Easter vacation. During the year Shethar has written a great ma- jority of the first-class editorials that have appeared in the Record. Always on the job, Norman de- voted a great deal of his valuable time to the publishing of this paper. Another member to retire was our hard-hitting guard on the football team, Guthrie Swartz. He was sports editor, writing a ma- jority of the sports articles (Continued on page 3) opened its 1912 season by bowing to a strong New York Military Academy nine on its home dia- mond April 8. Pawling's efforts in the field were studded with errors and let in eleven runs before the seven-inning game was over. The N. Y. M. A. hatters went on a four-run spree in the sixth in- ning, and shut off any hope the Red and Black may have had of staging a late-game rally. Tolies and Alexander were the only Pawling batters to get hits off the stupendous pitching of Defillipo, stubby right hander for the Cornwall visitors. Art Miller, Pawling center fielder, showed his speed and prowess in stealing three bases, making the only threat to Dcfillipo’s two-hit pitching. A large number of the home team’s errors was owing to the fact that this was the first game of the season and that many of the players were filling unac- customed berths. Captain Chuck DeVinne, for instance, was hold- ing down short stop instead of his usual post at second. Coach Maynard Maxwell kept a watch- ful eye on his players and in the following week revamped the line-up. Hopkins 1, Pawling 0 A reorganized Pawling team took the field against Hopkins Grammar School April 25 on its own diamond and came near to turning a 1-0 defeat into a victory by a fourth inning rally which collapsed with bases loaded and only one out. In contrast to the fiasco of the week before, the Red and Black played tight hall and allowed only one visitor to cross the plate. The Hopkins team opened the first inning with two doubles, scoring its lone run of the day. Thereafter Hal Enstice, who pitched a three-hit game, settled (Continued on page 4) PAGE TWO THE PAWLING RECORD WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1942 landing i miril Wednesday, April 29, 19-12 Published semi-monthly during the school year by the students of Pawl- ing School.

Bacon. Jr. A DANGEROUS WORD Every school has its own ad- ditions to the English language, usually in the form of slang. At Pawling many innocent and ex- pressive colloquialisms have been devised and used. There is no- thing wrong with these expres- sions unless certain phrases begin to strain the natural friendliness! between hoys and masters that is made possible in a small school. Such a situation as this has arisen over the word “brown.” When a fellow is clearly trying to make up for poor class work by gaining the personal favor of bis masters, he is said to he “browning.” This, as many ex- perienced “browners” have found out, does not work. The reason why such a plan will not obtain a diploma is that the masters have had more experience in discern- ing such actions. In all schools and at all times this situation has existed. When school opinion condemns it fair- ly, the result is effective and tends to creato a wholesome and harmonious atmosphere; hut the tendency on the part of some is to apply the term unfairly to the great many lx ys who are on friendly terms with the masters and their wives. A fear of being called a “browner” naturally de- velops and raises an awkward barrier between master and stu- dent. It is extremely silly for any boy to feel that he must look about him before he speaks to a master, hut on occasion this has been known to happen. This situation applies only to a few, who fail to realize that friendliness is the main ob- jective of the school. There are many fellows who have become I very friendly with the masters and their families. These fellows are gaining something from the school which some of the rest of us are not getting. One of the best selling points of a small school is that it affords an opportunity for fellows to got really acquaint- ed with the faculty. Pawling is well known for its home life, and it would he a crime to jeopardize this reputation by unfounded prejudices. In the past days of education when the masters taught class by the rod method, it was under- standable why the students had no association with the faculty. Modern education has overcome this. A student isn’t “brownin'- a master because he is friendly with him. Maybe he really enjoys the master’s company. Such things have been known to hap- pen. This editorial is addressed to you who criticize fellows who are in the company of the faculty. Why don’t you, the next time you see a group of fellows talking to a master, go up and join the group? You will probably find an interesting discourse on baseball instead of Shakespeare. Charles Law, Former PawHng Teacher, Dies Owing to a recurrence of the same sickness from which he suf- fered so greatly last year, Mr. Charles Law, a former member of the Pawling faculty, died in Dan- bury during the first week of April. Mr. Law, who had had a long career as a violinist before com- ing to Pawling last year to teach music, was struck shortly after Christmas by cancer. After a ser- ious operation, from which he seemed to emerge completely re- covered, he resumed his duties at the Danbury High School and seemed to he in normal health. The malady cropped out again, however, and this time the sick- ness proved fatal. He is survived by bis father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Law, and a brother and sister of Albany, X. Y., where Mr. Law was buried. His death is noted with sorrow by the many friends he made in Pawling. Alumni News 19 3 0 Robert G. Rispham and Miss Barbara Woodward were married recently in New York.

A. and Hopkins Grammar With only two of last years members the Pawling tennis team dispelled the anxiety of the school by overwhelming its staunch opponents from New York Military Academy with a score of 8 1. If this first game may he used as a fortune-teller's crystal, the coming season looks prosperous. The almost entirely renovated team is as follows: Captain Gar- denier and Pom Smith are offer- ing their skill for a second year; Bill Clarke, Thad Thorne, Boh Hallock, Ted Pigeon, and Ken- neth Fairchild are new hut prom- ising players. The squad is be- ing coached this year by Mr. Alan Chidsey and Mr. Neil HalK- yard. Captain Gardenicr distinguish- ed himself particularly in his match against hard-fighting Cadet Johnson from N. Y. M. A. In the first set the final score was 6-4 in favor of Pawling. After a long hard battle, Captain Gar- denier won with a score of 10 8. PAWLING 5, HOPKINS GRAMMAR 1 The Pawling netmen defeated Hopkins Grammar 5-1 in a one sided match played here April 25. Losing only one out of three singles and taking both double matches, they scored their second victory to remain undefeated. Captain Cal Gardenier, playing number one, was the only one to lose his match. Although he. lost two sets, the match was bitterly contested with Owen of Hopkins, who finally overcame him 6-1, 7-5. Pom Smith, in number two position, easily defeated his op- ponent 6-3, 6-4. Bill Clarke and Thad Thome, playing number three and four, outdistanced their opponents from the first serve, and each allowed the Hopkins men only one game. The first doubles match proved to be a little tougher, nut Pawl ing’s skill won through in the end. Gardenier and Pigeon won in three sets 1-6, 6-1, 6-1. The second doubles match was easily won by Boh Hallock and Ken Fairchild of Pawling 6-3, 0-4. THE COFFEE SHOP OPEN ALL YEAR Telephone Pawling 5811 Third Team Basketball Pawling 12—Redding Ridge 31 The “Fighting Thirds quintet lost their first game of the season to a more experienced Redding Ridge third team by the score of 12-31. The height of their oppon- ents accounted partly for the Pawling defeat, since it allowed them to complete many passes over the heads of the Pawling players. The Thirds’ spirit was kept up by the two guards, Pol- lock and Caswell, who played excellent defensive games. Pawling 29—Pawling High 25 The Thirds came through in the last minutes of a close and ex- citing game to win over the Pawl- ing High School Seconds 29-24. The forwards, Eliot Smithe and Captain Pete Law, were playing well together and made 8 points apiece, while Kenneth Fairchild, the center, made 10. Pawling 17—Fairfield High 38 The Thirds were defeated in their third game by the Fairfield High School Freshman by a 38-17 score. The “Fighting Thirds abil- ity was shown in the last quarter, when they gamely kept up the fight and stayed about the same number of points behind. Dick Barker was high scorer in this game with a total of 8 points. Pawling 18—Redding Ridge 24 The “Fighting Thirds” again lost to Redding Ridge, this time on the winner’s court, by a score of 24-18 in their last game of the season. Captain Law was high scorer for Pawling, accounting for 7 points. All of the first team and substitutes saw action. The Book Shelf An endless array of new hooks and old has been steadily swell- ing the shelves of the Pawling School libraries. Of the new hooks, most are to be found in the Barstow Library. One of the most interesting to Americans at this time is W. D. Puleston’s The Armed Forces of the Pacific, a com- parison of the Japanese naval air, and land forces with those of the United States. Another book dealing with the present war is Where Stands a Winged Sentry, by Margaret Ken- nedy, author of the much-ac- claimed Constant Nymph. This new novel recounts the life in England from the zero hour of the disaster at Dunkirk and the fall of France through the first summer of the war. Three works by John Gunther have been added to the growing number of books; namely, Insiile Europe, giving a detailed account of Europe in the years preceding the war; Inside Asia, dramatic, exciting, penetrating description of events and personalities that are now shaping the course of events in one third of the globe: and Inside Latin America, reveal- ing the problems and policies of the leaders of our South Ameri- can neighbors. In Mr. Thomas Page’s library there is a collection of four or five hundred books, dealing most- ly with people and human (Continued on page 4) Thirds Open Season With Romford Defeat On Friday, April 24, the Pawl- ing Thirds opened their season by defeating Romford 11-5 on the losers’ diamond. Through the ex- cellent pitching of Stanley Porter and the surprising fielding of the team, the “Fighting Thirds” took a quick lead in the Ilousatonic League. The visiting team started off with two runs in the first in- ning and ended the game with tour in the seventh. The third team led its opponents in runs through the entire game, al- though the Romford team came close in the fifth inning. Many a time during the game the timely pitching of Porter saved the team from almost certain defeat. The entire team was hitting, with Captain Kirchmaier, Overton, and Pollock leading with two hits for three times at bat.

Mr. Page expressed the opinion that the books most bene- ficial to young readers are not necessarily to he found under the shiny covers of new novels, but in the hooks written in the eigh- teenth and nineteenth centuries by authors such as Thackeray, Kipling, and Fielding, who wrote respectively Vanity Fair, Soldiers Three, and Tom Jones. In these novels one finds characters that are timeless in their appeal. There are also in Mr. Page's library novels written by twen- tieth century authors such as Conrad and Golsworthy, who wrote the Forsythe Saga. There are such narratives as The Year- ling, by Marjorie Rawlings; and Marquand's 11. M. Fulham, Es- quire, both written in the last few years. Mr. Page points out that in these two novels there are characters that will last and be appreciated not only by people of modem times, but also those in times to come. Statistics show that the popu- larity of the books in Mr. Page's library goes as follows: 11. M. Fulham. Esq., by John Marquand, has been read five times; Life With Father by Clarence Day, five times; Dr. Uogbody’s Leg by Hall, six times; books by Kenneth Roberts, seven times; The Year- ling by Marjorie Rawlings, eight times; and at the top of the list Rudyard Kipling's books, some of which have been read thirteen times. Study Hours Yield To Spring Afternoons To allow full use of the spring afternoons the study hall schedule has been changed. Dur- ing the winter term the hoys studied between 5:10 and 6:10 P. M., and the activity period, com- ing at 8:30 P. M., followed the evening study hour. Now the school has returned to the fall schedule with the hobby hour falling before dinner and the two study periods during the evening. This permits hoys who are not engaged in any of the various activities to spend the entire afternoon outdoors. A second important change concerns the chapel hour. Until now the daily service has come directly after supper, and while this was entirely satisfactory when the days were shorter, in the spring term it was felt that it denied a large part of the com- munity the chance to remain in the open until the beginning of BASEBALL (Continued from page 1) down and allowed only one hit during the remaining innings. Falsey, Hopkins slugging sec- ond-baseman, led the hit parade with two doubles.. Stepping up to bat in the fifth with a man on first and two out, he took hold of the second pitch and smacked it into center field. This put a man on second and third with two down. Enstice thereupon struck out ihe next batter with only four throws, thus stopping the rally. Pawling made its bid to tie the score and assume the lead in the fourth inning. With the bases loaded and only one out, Tolies stepped up to bat. He brought the crowd to its feet yelling for a home run when lie put the pitch- er in a threc-and-two hole, but on the last pitch he hit into a double play and ended Pawling's threat. Pastorfield, Pawling right, field- er, hit a beautiful single into left field to start the last inning. The next two batters were struck out by the excellent pitching of Stephenson .The third man hit a hot grounder to short stop and was put out at first to end the game. PAWLING ab. r. h. e.

Not the French master try- ing out his vocal chords—just a special class in French pro- nunciation gotten underway about two weeks ago and still going strong on a come-if-you-can basis. The purposes of the enterprise are manifold. A study of the [ basic vowel and consonant sounds of the language will be the even- tual cure for the hit-or-miss type of pronunciation generally ac- cepted in secondary schools and generally deplored in colleges. Good diction is the foundation for class conversation, a consum- mation devoutly to be wished, and an invaluable help in spell ing and dictation. Special em- phasis is being laid on the cor- j rection of errors commonly made by English speaking students. While no credit is given for at- tendance, improvement in class tells its own story.

ODDS AND ENDS Henceforth Seniors will be re- lieved from waiting on the tables during the spring term. Mr. Jay Van Trawver has an- nounced that from Sunday, April 26, to the close of school a special offertory will be sung at each Sunday chapel service. Mr. John Funk sang Schubert’s Ave Maria” for the first such offer tory; on May 4 Mr. Van Trawver will sing Mallotte’s “Lord’s Prayer.” Roiled lobsters appeared as a shade of weak pink beside the burned shoulders of Pawling’s outdoor fraternity who failed to heed the unmistakable warnings of the season's first hot spell by remaining on tennis court and woodland trail with uncovered backs last weekend. While Miss Wilson applied what relief she could, her comments on the folly of “some people” were pointed and, she hopes, sufficiently force- ful to be heeded.

Y. MAY 13, 1042 NUMBER FOURTEEN Turkey First Subject Of Current Events Talks On Sunday night, May 3, the first of a series of talks on cur- rent events was delivered by Mr. Norval Bacon. As subject of his lecture Mr. Bacon took Turkey and her status in the war. In order to acquaint the boys with the country itself, Mr. Bacon first sketched its history from the time of the Hittites in 2000 B. C. to the present day. He pointed out that this country, under the Ottomans, once reach- ed from Russia in the north to Egypt in the south. Today, how- ever, that great empire has been broken down to .a relatively small country. In the present conflict Turkey holds a most important position. If Hitler should succeed in smashing Russia, his next blows would most certainly fall on Turkey in an effort to cut the British Empire in two. If India were thus separated from Eng- land, Japan would have an easier time in the far east. (Continued on page 3) GRADUATION At the annual graduation service this year Dr. William W. Comfort will talk to the Senior Class as well as the as- sembled congregation in the Pawling chapel on the after- noon of June 5 at 3 P. M.

This pro- gram will wind up the school year of 1941-42 with sounding brass and clanging cymbals and a sigh of relief from those who have safely survived the terrors of the examinations. Glee Clubs of Drew and Pawling Hold Concert The Pawling Quartette was a smashing success in the fourth annual joint concert by the glee clubs of Drew Seminary of Car- mel, New York, and the Pawling School on Saturday, May 9. The girls sang very well under the direction of Miss Ruth Shaffner, while the Pawling boys gave their best under the able direct- ion of Mr. Jay Van Trawver. Mr. John Kunk accompanied. The study room, gaily decor- ated with American flags, school banners, and many other color- ful ornaments, was the setting for this much-awaited concert. The Pawling glee club opened the musical by singing Winter Bong by Bullard, followed by Forward We March by Edwards. Both were sung with feeling and emphasis. The Drew glee club followed the Pawling boys by singing My Bose by Terry, and Morning by Speaks. The girls sang excellent- ly. and the audience, consisting of the Pawling School and guests, showed its appreciation with prolonged applause. The hit of the evening was the Pawling Quartette, which con- sists of James Spurr III, first tenor; Charles Alexander, Jr., second tenor; Clarke 01 er, first (Continued on page 5) Fourth Form Elects Barker to Junior Council Elections for the new mem- bers of the Junior Council were held last week.

Waters Joins Merchant Marine Service Irving Waters ceased being a student at Pawling on April 23 in order to join wholeheartedly in the defense of his country. Irv is the only boy from Pawling in the service of World War II so far. He is now taking a course on Long Island for training for the Merchant Marine. After two months of study on land, he will go to sea for ten months, and then he will have ten more months of higher preparation on land. Irv was a Senior at Pawling when he left. He had been one of the most popular boys during his three, and almost four years here. For the last two years he had earned his letter for varsity football, for three years he had been an active member of the varsity hockey squad, and by his absence Mr. Leathers suffers a set-back on the track team. In the extra-curricular line Irv proved to be a great supplement to the Becord, writing up a majority of the athletic contests and serving as exchange editor. He also was a member of Con- gress, and a skilled worker in arts and crafts. When Irv joined the Merchant Marine, the school suffered a loss, but we are sure that the country made a gain. Pawling Hammers 12 Hits in First, Hitless in Second The Pawling baseball team found its first win of the season by defeating a weaker Trinity nine on its home diamond May 2. Pawling’s 7-0 win was due large- ly to the pitching of Hal Enstice, who gave up only three hits dur- ing the entire game. After setting down Trinity bat- ters one, two, three in the first half of the first inning, the Red and Black opened its half of the inning with two singles. Art Miller, Pawling center field- er and first man up, made his way around to third base, from which he scored on a hit by Cap- tain Chuck DeVinne. The rally was neatly stopped when Trinity nabbed l oth runners in an at- tempted double steal. The last half of the third in- ning found the home team really “going to town.” A triple by Enstice brought three runs in ahead of him. In trying to stretch his three bagger into a home-run, Enstice was tagged out at home, to end the inning. Tolies, Pawling catcher rapped out a long triple in the fourth, which brought the crowd yelling to its feet He scored later in the same innintr.

Bacon. Jr. PREFECT ELECTIONS As the year begins to come to a close many of the positions of responsibility in school activities and organizations are to he filled by deserving members of next year’s Sixth Form. The most important, of these positions of responsibility are the prefects, a body of five seniors who run the self-government of the school. These fellows have the re- sponsibility of setting the lead in the atmosphere of the school, of showing guidance where it is needed in the discipline of the student body, and helping the headmaster in making the rules. There has been a lot of discus- sion as to how the prefects should he elected. Last year they were elected by the school. The student body voted for nine fel- lows from the Fifth Form. The masters then voted on seven out of the nine, and returned these seven to the school, which elect- ed five. Many people feel this system does not select the most able fol- lows. These people say that the lower-form members, being un- acquainted with the Sixth Form- ers, will vote for seniors who have been personally spectacular in some sport or activity. While such boys may he extremely capable, on the other hand they are not necessarily so, and there is a real and obvious danger in the risk involved. While Pawl- ing has been more than for- tunate this year and benefited from this system of election, there is no guaranty of such con tinned luck in the future. When the school was founded, the prefects were appointed by the headmaster. He would pick hoys who had already proven themselves to have the character and leadership for the job. For instance, he would pick the cap- tain of the football team, the head l� oy in his studies, and the editor of one of the publications. The others lie would pick like- wise for their ability and char- acter. In this way a unified and representative council was pick- ed. But in this system tlie stu- dent, body had no vote, which was a help to the prefects in that they had no election obligations, but a hindrance in the attitude taken by some of the boys. This editorial has reviewed two election systems. The first system has worked, hut not, over a period of years, with the full success that we should like to see at Pawling. The second system which was in force over ten years ago was very successful in its operation. The only criticism of it was that the school had no way to express its preference. Education has advanced to the point where we feel student gov- ernment with full democratic rights is an indispensable neces- sity of a well-organized and ef- ficiently run school. The Record would like to make a suggestion as to how the pre- fects should he elected. Instead of the school’s voting for nine people as they do in the present system, the retiring prefects and the headmaster should pick the hoys who they feel have suf- ficient ability and character for the job. These fellows should then he put up for election before the Fifth and Sixth Forms, the five receiving the most votes to form the body of prefects for the coming year. In a system such as this the prefects, who have had a year's experience in their jobs, would be best fitted in selecting the most able fellows. They would have the help of the headmaster, who would present the faculty point of view. Tn this way the fellows most likely 1o work har- moniously with the masters and boys would he chosen. The idea of giving the final decision to the boys is a democratic one, and the boys elected would feel they were really wanted rather than just handed their position by a group of people whose interests they do not directly represent.

Cluett of Bobbs Ferry, N. Y., died on Sun- day, May 3, Pawling lost one of her oldest and staunchest sup- porters. A brother of Alphonzo Rockwell Cluett, in whose mem- ory Pawling's main building was given, Walter Cluett has been close to Pawling affairs, especial- ly so in recent years. In spite of the fact that he has been in very bad health, practi- cally bed ridden, he has sum- moned the chairman of the ex- ecutive committee three or four times a year to keep posted on Pawling’s progress. Anonymous- ly he has given to the school in one form or another almost every year, one of his recent gifts being a generous contribution in the form of Pawling School bonds. Walter Cluett will long he re- membered and cherished. To his brother E. Harold Cluett, and his two sisters, Miss Nelly Cluett and Mrs. Witherly Black, all of whom like Walter have been loyal and generous supporters of the school, Pawling sends its deepest sym- pathy and mourns with them the loss of a grand character.

Defeated by Taft School, Noses Out Ansonia High Thirds Continue Wins With South Kent Victory Pawling 0, Gunnery 8 After beating Trinity School, the Pawling baseball team went to Gunnery for its fourth game of the season. In the very first inning Hal Enstice, Pawling star pitcher, was pounded for six runs, some of which were caused by several errors. However, the rest of the game was a different story. John Pas- torficld, relief hurler, pitched a beautiful game for the remaining six innings, only allowing two runs. The Pawling infield played real baseball, snagging the hard- est grounders, and throwing out the fastest runners. The first inning proved disas- trous, however, and Pawling, held hitless by Gunnery’s south- paw hurler, Thompson, was un- able to put across a run. Several men got bases on balls and were advanced to third base, but the hit to put across the run was never scored and Pawling went down to defeat 8-0. The Pawling thirds opened their home season by defeating South Kent 10-6, thus winning their second straight game of two starts. Again the timely hitting and pitching of Stanley Porter decidedly helped the “Fighting Thirds” blanket a weaker South Kent team. As in the Romford game, the “Thirds” opened with two runs in the first and ended with four in the last, driven in by Porter’s homo run with bases loaded. In the second inning the Pawl- ing team was behind for the first time this season by a score of! 3-2, but a rally in the last of the second put them ahead 6 to 3. The visitors made a threat in their last-at-bats in the seventh but were stopped by the im-j seconds proved fielding of the Pawl ing infield. The Pawling line-up: 1. Clark, 2b. Traveling to Lakeville on May 1, the Pawling track team opened its 1942 season by losing a close- ly matched contest, 731 2-511 2, to its long-standing rival Hotchkiss. Mr. Doyle Leathers, with only two men returning, had a diffi- cult time gathering together a squad of boys capable of under- taking the four-meet schedule. He and his assistant coach, Mr. Norval Baron, deserve a great deal of praise for the fine job they are doing. The closest events of the af- ternoon were the 880 yard run, the 440 yard run, and the shot put. Captain Frank Waters of Pawling led each of three events until the straightaway, at which point Brown of Hotchkiss showed surprising speed, beating Waters to the tape. Larkin of Pawling won the shot from Captain Ely of Hotchkiss by one inch. Due to the wet grass from the short show-ers during the after- noon, the javelin throwers had their difficulties. This will ac- count for the poor distance of the winning throw of 130 feet 2 inches by Ely of Hotchkiss. Captain Waters of Pawling and Captain Ely of Hotchkiss were high scorers of the afternoon with sixteen points each. They both took two firsts and two Law, ss. Munsill, 3b. Porter, p.

Pawling lias started a pledge system for buying war bonds and stamps. Every one is being asked to sign a pledge, which has been sent by the government, to buy as many stamps as possible every week. The pledges arc be- ing given out by Mr. Neil Hnlk- yard, who is in Mr. Maynard Maxwell’s office after lunch and dinner to assist boys in making out their forms. The government is asking for these pledges so that it may figure a definite sum in its budget from the sale of war bonds and stamps. Of course the sum raised from the pledges here will not amount to a great deal, but each student is trying to give at least, ten per cent of his allowance to the cause. Many boys have already started to buy a certain amount of stamps every week. Aside from the immediate need of money with which to earn' on the war, said Mr. Alan Chidsey in explaining the purpose of the government, is the necessity for having a backlog after the war and for combatting inflation in the coming few years. HOLIDAY A surprise fire alarm was the means chosen to assemble the student body for the welcome news that the day following, May 12, would be a holiday. Con- fusion as to the number of rings revealed that some of those sum- moned thought, they were being routed from bed for an air riad.

Each time they won rounds of applause, and after singing every encore they had on hand were forced to repeat one of their songs. The audience still wanted more, but the Quartette retired, a great success. The combined glee clubs then sang two songs, V ray or of Thanks firing, and A Song for Peace. The Drew Songsters then sang Sympathy from The Firefly”, fol- lowed by the popular Scotch folk song, Coming Thro’ The Bye. After both glee clubs had separately sung again, the combined singers made a great success of their singing of Deep Biver and JJal ielujah from lit The Deck. For the grand finale, the glee clubs sang their respective Alma Maters, followed by the Star Spangled Banner. The audience joined in when the latter was sung, giving a fitting climax to the performance. The dance after the concert was a great success. The boys and girls danced steadily from ten to twelve o'clock, stopping occasionally only for the refresh- ments that were served in the dining room. At the turn of mid- night the girls and boys sang a birthday greeting to the Drew Headmaster, H. E. Wright, who made a brief speech of thanks to the Pawling School for its hospitality. Reluctantly the girls and boys then parted, the girls getting a good send off by the Pawling cheering section, which consisted of the whole school.

Now a cloud has appeared, sometimes so seem- ingly impenetrable that many wonder if that which it hides is still there. To all intents and purposes, the pattern is not there. Nor will the contour of the terrain he the same after the cloud is dis- persed. Such thoughts load to uncertainty. Uncertainty leads to indecision. Indecision leads to opportunism which frequently is inspired hv emotional appeal and is disdainful of rational thinking. This sequence i the logical road to disappointment because it minimizes or even overlooks entirely the fact that there arc permanent values which are very much alive whether it is clear or cloudy. Education has long been going through the process of becoming educated. This war will hasten this education. Gone are the pat formulae for meeting given situ- ations. Gone are the given situ- ations. But very much with us are the problems of human rela tions. the need for a living Christian religion, the require (Continued on page 2) ■HnmMMHPM MRS.

Pawling-Kent Thriller Rained Out in 10th Pastorfield Paces Team In Win Over South Kent A late-aftemoon thunder show- er brought a damp and disap- pointing end in the tenth inning to a 1-1 game between Pawling and Kent May 23. Pawlings one run was scored in the second on a sacrifice hunt by Boh Failor, while Kent's was made on a Pawling error in the seventh. Charlie Alexander was out- standing in the infield, and with the other members of an alert ball club gave full support to Hal Knsticc, who struck out eight men while allowing only three walks. Pawling 5, South Kent 3 John Pastorfield was Pawlings own hero in the South Kent game May 16 when in addition to hurl- ing a four-hit game he nicked his rival pitcher for two hits out of three times at bat. He was sur- passed only by Hal Knstice, who ran up three hits out of four trips to the plate.

Bacon. Jr. A TIME FOR WORK Today we underformers em- bark on a three months' vaca- tion. Many of us have made dif- ferent plans, such as working in minor defense jobs or studying: hut whether we have all laid plans or not. there are many things that we will have to re- member. Whether we like it or not, there is a war on, and every boy physically able to work should do so in every way open to him; and there are many types of jobs open to hoys of 'teen age. For instance, a strong plea has been made for farm hands. Farmers are in dire need of people to help with the corps, and a fel- low working on a farm is helping as much as if he were in a munitions factory. In addition to any such regular work, we should all put ourselves at the disposal of our local de- fense committees. If we are cal- led on to help in this work, we should make every effort to do what wo are asked, without thought of personal wishes. We should help not only out- side our homes, hut within as well. Every day that the war continues, our parents are called on to give a greater part of their time to the national effort. As a result, more hands are needed to carry on the work formerly done by the family or servants, now becoming increasingly hard to find. There are jo! s, then, at home, for all of us, humble and dull as they may he. Most of us will feel summer is a time to have fun. True, we should have fun, hut we will have to learn to make our pleasures near home, where there are un- limited occupations that we can devise if we only accept our situ- ation in good spirit. We can have just as much fun if we pitch in and help win this war as if we devote ourselves to the sort of pleasures we once thought indis- pensable. TO THE SENIORS (Continued from page 1) inent of an ideal of service and all of the clarity and power of thinking that makes that ideal of service a living philosophy. There is an uncertainty in cdii-l eating for anything else, hut none in educating for this. If you go forth with the ideal of service paramount in your mind, it does not matter whether the pattern is there now or whether the contour of the terrain will he changed. The only uncertainty then rests with a knowledge of yourself. Are you choosing to serve where you can best serve? You alone can an- swer this. The only guidepost that can he erected for you must take the form of a warning: Service is not built upon futility or heroics; it is a timeless de- sire to give.—a desire fed by the spirit of optimism, generated by a faith in the worth of men.

Thirds Bow to Strong Gunnery Nine 5-4; Beat Canterbury 6-0 In their fourth game of the season, the “Fighting Thirds lost to the Gunnery thirds by a 5-4 score Friday, May 15. The battery, consisting of Stan Porter on the mound and Captain Ham Kirchmaier behind the plate, did excellent work. Gunnery held Pawling to a few hits. The de- ciding factor of the game was in the sixth inning when several throws went wild, allowing the Gunnery runners to score. Spirit was not lacking and the thirds held their opponents for the rest of the game. Thirds 6, Canterbury 0 Stan Porter pitched a one-hit j game for the “Fighting Thirds” j against the Canterbury thirds, May 22. Porter held them hitless until the sixth inning when a long double was hit into left field. The final score was Pawl- ing 6, Canterbury 0. Captain Ham Kirchmaier play ed a good game behind the plate and did his share of hitting. Porky Clark at second base stop- ped many hot grounders to assist in a number of putouts. The thirds had more hits in this gume than in any other. ACTIVITIES In continuing the Record's policy of reviewing the year’s extra-curricular activities, the re- views of those organizations not previously mentioned are given below'. Congress In view of the pressing need for individual knowledge of the world stage on which the pres- ent drama is being played, Con- gress this year devoted the ma- jority of its meetings to a study of those countries and areas of peculiar importance to the United States. Latin America and Australasia received atten- tion. Prior to America's entry into the war, issues of national policy in relation to the world con- flict were discussed. Norman Shethar served as Speaker, Ern- est Greeff as Secretary, while Mr. Paul Temple guided the ac- tivities of the group in his capa- city as President. Record-Scroll Directed by Mr. Norval Bacon, the Record-Scroll, this year com- bined into one, completed suc- cessfully its first season under one leadership. With Norman Shethar as editor-in-chief, assist- ed by Ernest Greeff as managing editor, the Record has become (Continued on page 4) Frank Hildenbrand TAILOR Distinguished For Fine Flavors and Smooth Creamy Texture Dry Cleaning and Pressing ONE DAY SERVICE PAGE rot H THE PAWLING RECORD FRIDAY, JI NK 5, 1942 ACTIVITIES (Continued from page 3) smaller in size but lias more pictures and more pages in it than it has had in former years. Gus Swartz was associate edi- tor and as such did an excellent job on many sports articles. Joost Vas Dias. Web Tilton, Bill Flagg, Irv. Waters, Bill Hunt, and Ted Brockie wrote most of the articles for this years publication and were all given places on the paper. Frank Prior, business manager, Schuyler Burton, and Howard Solomon upheld the business end of the paper and made it a financial success. The Scroll, including all the issues of the Record, was edited mainly by Ernest Grecff, Mar- ion Lewis, and Howard Solomon, owing to Norman Shot liar’s ill- ness. and to them goes the credit for its success. Acolyte Guild The Acolyte Guild this year played its usual active part in the chapel services, its various members serving at the daily functions and at the Sunday com- munion services. The guild, which was larger than usual this year, was led by Marion Lewis, senior acolyte, and Norman She- thar, junior acolyte, with Mr. Paul Temple directing the activi- ties and instructing the members. Owing to the increase in num- ber of chapel services this year, the duties of the group were heavier, and consequently the acolytes assumed a greater im- portance in the life of the school. Dance Committee The dance committee, with co- chairmen DeYinne and Appleby, has this year planned and held three proms. The first, after the Berkshire football game, the sec- ond on alumni day in February, and the third this very evening of the graduation day of the class of 1942. Cal Gardcnier, Pom Smith, Marion Lewis, and John Pastor field are the other members of the dance committee who this year have helped arrange these three successful dances. F. H.
