� . 7 k ?94Z Published by the Graduating Class of Trinity-Pawling School, Pawling, New York DecUcati M To Mr. Matthew E. Dann and Mr. Hugh C. Riddle-berger, whose untiring efforts throughout the summer and school year made possible the opening in September of Trinity-Pawling School; and through whose guidance and leadership we were able to have a successful year and become the first Trinity-Pawling graduating class, we, the Class of 1948, gratefully dedicate this book.

Andy is one of the best natured in the Senior Class. His Platform: an orange on every bed, and a clever word at six A.M. It was Andy who, with his good nature, winning smile, and quick humor, made our year faster-moving and more unpredictable. William Beaman Ashland, Jr. Ash 4470 Van Cortlandt Park East, New York City Hamilton — Varsity Football, Varsity Basketball, Baseball, Student Council, Glee Club, Band, Yearbook Sports Editor, German Club. Bill is one of the bright stars of our class. Always ready with a quick and willing hand — be it in sports or on the dance committee — Bill did much to aid our year. 12 Wallace Schouler Barrett Wally 271 Bay Ave., Glen Ridge, N. J. Trinity—Varsity Football, Varsity Basketball, Baseball, Spanish Club, Photography Club, Woodworking Club, Yearbook, Times. Wallace, who is best known by his companions as Wally,” might be exemplified as the typical Trinity-Pawling man. The athletic endeavors of Wally were extended to the football field as well as the basketball court, where he used his height and weight to great advantage. William Boll Yogi” 20 Park Circle, White Plains, N. Y. U.S. Merchant Marine Academy — Varsity Football, Basketball Manager, Baseball, Times, Yearbook. The ability of Yogi to make his actions funnier than words and his words pretty funny too, has made him the jokester of the Senior Class. Also, he has the rather dubious distinction of being Mr. Cresson's Public Enemy Number One. 13 Henry Buttelmann Hank 37-21 221st., Bayside. L. I. Trinity — Varsity Football (Captain), Varsity Swimming, Tennis, Times, Glee Club. Trinity-Pawling will always remember Hank Buttelmann as a grand fellow and a great athlete. Captain of football and a star swimmer and trackman, he was one of the best athletes of the year. Very popular with his classmates, Hank is sure to succeed in anything he undertakes. Joseph Francis Callo Skipper New York, New York Yale—Varsity Football, Varsity Basketball (Captain), Track, Spanish Club, Student Council (President), Woodworking Club. Joe Callo is Trinity-Pawling's dynamic man. Although weighing one hundred and thirty pounds, Joe was one of our most effective backs, and on the basketball court he was high scorer with 147 points. To attest to the fact that he was an all-around fellow, Joe was elected President of the Student Council. 14 John Chase Daniels Red Sails Pawling. New York. Johns Hopkins—Second Team Football. Varsity Basketball, Baseball, Yearbook-Editor. Red Sails in the sunset will always remind us of John Daniels. That red tuft seen floating around the halls was a common and genial sight to all those needing help in Solid or Trig, in addition to anyone desiring the scoop” on Pawling. The Trinitannus was sparked by Red. Louis Alexander Dommerich Lou 164 East 72nd Street, New York City. Harvard—Varsity Football. Varsity Swimming. Times, Glee Club, Baseball. Lou hails from the heart of New York City, and is Trinity-Pawling's gift to high society, or vice-versa. Lazy Lou , as he is sometimes called, is quite versatile in his own right. This fall, Lou with his 180 pounds of well-placed muscle, could be seen deftly tripping up our football opponents. A star swimmer and baseball player, he is also a ping pong pro. Here's hoping Harvard claims Lou next fall. 15 Frank Norman Johnston Norm 214-06 40th Avenue, Bayside, L. I. Trinity-Varsity Basketball, Tennis. Now here we have someone who is not exactly different, but what he has, he has plenty of. Personality, class, distinction, ice, hail, sleet, snow; that's right, a snowman. Our fighting Bayside Swede is a terror in football and a threat in basketball. He’s just an all-around good fellow. Edward Patrick Killeen, Jr. Ned • ■ 9 Durham Road, Longmeadow, Mass. Trinity—Football-Manager, Varsity Basketball. Baseball. Ned, who is a product of Longmeadow, Massachusetts, is one of the most popular Seniors. His popularity is attributed to his ever-present smile and good-naturedness together with the important fact that he is also the school mailman. Ned has distinguished himself in the field of athletics, by being a great asset to our basketball and baseball teams. 16 Lawrence Neill Tiny” Patterson, New York. Undecided—Varsity Football, Track. Trinity-Pawling’s mighty mite, who has won such fame and glory as a Latin student, has helped make the work program a success. When Tiny isn't in the cleaning room passing out brooms and dust pans to the eager beavers of Trinity-Pawling, he can be found strolling in the Senior corridor looking for a bull session. David Ernest Nobis Dave Westfield. New York Trinity—Varsity Football, Varsity Basketball, Track. At Trinity-Pawling, Dave could usually be seen on the basketball court stopping opponents from scoring, reading one of his daily fan letters, or in his room busily engaged in keeping up with his correspondence, completely unaware of the noise and confusion caused by his Form. 17 Franklin McMullin Page, Jr. Mac” Wipporwill, Chappaqua, New York. Parks Air College—Varsity Soccer, Times-Editor, Photography Club. Before he left for college in February, Mac could be seen any afternoon dividing his time between Thorne Smith novels and his math book. Mac was one of the best scholars in the Sixth Form, and he will certainly be successful in any project he should undertake, Robert Livingston Powell Bob” 1089 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, N. Y. Virginia — Varsity Football, Varsity Swimming. Tennis, Times, Yearbook. Spanish Club, Photography Club. Bob is without doubt the happiest member of the form. Continually smiling, he rouses his form-mates from melancholy moods to moods as gay as his. Lots of luck at the University of Virginia next year, Bob. 18 Albert Townsend Ray Al Pawling, New York Undecided—Varsity Soccer (Captain), Tennis, Times, Rifle Club. A congenial fellow who does not say much, Al is very pleasant and usually has a kind word for everyone. He is a loyal friend and is sincere. We will always remember sunny Aruba when we think of our friend Al. Warner Kimball Sprague Kim Roscoe, New York. Brown — Varsity Soccer, Tennis, Glee Club, Times, Band. Kim came to us this year from a general store in Roscoe, New York. He is, perhaps, best known for that sweet music that flows from his trumpet. Although Kim is on the quiet side, he really has a head and is admired by all. Good luck, Kim, and don’t forget your T-P friends when you are playing the trumpet with Harry James. 19 Stewart Stephens, Jr. Stew” 40 Edgewood Lane, Bronxville, New York. Oberlin — Yearbook - Business Manager, Times-Business Manager, Photography Club, Spanish Club. Man of Distinction, Stew is one of the founding fathers of the Trinitannus and the Times. This Sixth Form Capitalist will be successful in any field he enters, provided it isn't an athletic field. Donald Kelley Stevenson, Jr. Slug- 89 Arleigh Road, Great Neck, L. I. Hamilton—Second Team Football, Varsity Swimming, Baseball, Spanish Club, Yearbook. Don, a congenial, good-natured fellow, was well liked by all. He was a great asset to the swimming team and also proved his dexterity in water polo. Hamilton College has certainly picked the best to be one of its students this coming year. 20 Mario Turtur, Jr. Turt” 175 Morristown Road, Elizabeth, N. J. Colgate — Varsity Football, Varsity Basketball, Baseball, Glee Club, Spanish Club. Mario has been noted throughout the year for his quick wit and his ready smile. Prominent in sports, he has been a leader in his class. Best of luck, Mario, at Colgate next year. John Maynard Webb Long John” Scarsdale Lodge, Scarsdale, N. Y. Dartmouth —Second Team Football, Varsity Hockey, Tennis, Times, Yearbook, Rifle Club, Glee Club. Photography Club. John was one of the quieter members of the Sixth Form. He went about his tasks in a sincere and wholehearted manner. He gave his all for T-P on the football field, the hockey rink and also on the staffs of the Trinity-Pawling Times and the Trinitannus. 21 I Seated-.

The Juniors have two representatives on the Student Council, one of them is elected and the other appointed by the administration. This year, Peyton Pinkerton was elected, and Harry Molwitz was appointed. In the fall sports, the Varsity Football Team had two Juniors on the first team in the persons of Harry Molwitz and Jim Brantley, both of whom were backs. Doug Binney, John Gillette, and Bill Kruge were all starters on the Soccer team and played very well both offensively and defensively. Juniors were also very prominent members of the Second Team Football squad with Bill Wilson, and Peyton Pinkerton playing consistently. During the winter, Fifth Formers excelled in nearly every sport and extra-curricular activity. The Varsity Hockey team was strengthened by the playing of high-scoring center John Judge, defenseman Braxton Nagle, and goalie Jerry Shatford. Don Wahl did a capable job as the team's manager. The Varsity Swimming team was sparked by Harry Molwitz, Ed Crocker and George Quinn, all of whom made good times and ought to be valuable assets again next year. Clarence Dunn, Mike Johnson, and Bill Hancock all played fine ball as members of the Junior Varsity Basketball Team. There were Juniors this year in all extra-curricular organizations. On the Dance Committee, which presented the Winter Dance in February, were Harry Molwitz and Peyton Pinkerton. Fifth Formers held a majority of the positions on the staff of the Trinity-Pawling Times. Mike Johnson wrote Spotlight this year, Harry Molwitz was coeditor of Pay Dirt”, and Jim Brantley was one of the Sport Shorts writers. William Schneider was Editor-in-Chief during the last half of the year, and Clarence Dunn was circulation manager. Doug Binney, Brax Nagle, Don Wahl and Tom Perkins were all members of the Spanish Club, and Doug Binney and Mike Johnson comprised half of the German Club. Tom Perkins was one of the principal organizers of the Classical Record Club, of which many Juniors are members. Bill Kruge and Dave Lott are the stalwarts of the Rifle Club and Binney and Perkins are also members. Since it figured so prominently in the life of the school this year, there is no doubt that next year's Senior class will have a successful year and contribute a good deal to the school's life. 25 Seated: Woods, Harvey, Dunphy, Afanassieff.

Third row: Ploch, Bell Fulton, White. 26 Fill!II FOLK HOW many authors, faced witn writing a summary in several adjectives, have used the last desperate resort, unique ? Mr. Webster offers some interesting synonyms for this old stand-by, Matchless; single (in kind or excellence); unequaled;’’ all of these and many other modifiers have been used to describe the class of '50. But it does possess three undeniable qualities: variety, earnestness, and potential largeness. Evidence for these may be seen in the contributions Form Four has made to the school’s activities, so important in the growth of a new academy. The following are some random impressions of the Sophomore class’ equally unique members, (Afanassieff) One reason why the Fourth Form is unique is its lack of any serious cliques or organizations, it’s democratic. (Draffin) This Sophomore group, with its good share of athletics, scholars, and real spirit, promises to be one of the best Senior classes in future years. (Harvey) Putting aside all prejudice, I still believe our form, for misleading potentialities in athletics, enthusiasm, and physical culture, is number one. (Dorn) . . . Too much to write about in a few words . . . Eddie’s got the right idea. (Rafelson) The Fourth Form has set a great tradition, one which we would like to see all the Form Fours measure up to in years to come. (Sheffield) Mention is due concerning that field in which we are outstanding— Extra extra-curricular activities. (Manchester) One of the major possessions of the Sophomores is the abundance of vitality which may have been absent in the classroom but is noticably present in mine. (Budd) Sheff and Fulton were busy moulding the mighty arm with Woods as an envious onlooker, while Eddie wondered what exciting diversion awaited for second-period study hall. (Townsend) A bare face: I can still see Mr. Lane blushing from ear to ear when Ploch was dragged down the hall in caveman attire. (Bastine) Jordan leads a rough life: exercising out the third story window, mourning his lost pajamas hung in shreds from the sprinkling system, trying frantically to persuade his grandfather to accept long-distance charges . . . (Mattson) Remember when justice in the form of Mr. Gazenda, intervened, saving Rafe from a fate on the gallows? (Woods) When Budd gave up muscle-building, after his shoulder-injury, Manchester made his claim as Popeye of the class, and I enjoyed a night’s rest. (Alderton) Ploch leaves for Alderton’s room as the mice make too much noise. (Ploch) Wrestlers and trackmen scatter, off goes Vaughn Monroe, Night Eddie, night Butch, Bill . . . deep silence follews the last bell. ( McCollum) To dear old Sunday inspection — Don’t sit there! Where’s the broom? But sir, I have dusted!” (Williams) The winter, especially at the hockey pond, does wonders for you, so don’t leave assignments for morning study hall. (Bell) A word of advice to up-and-coming Latin II students: a direct object never follows the verb to be . (Dunphy) A selec’ group of three can count on de at’letic prowess and epidemic background of dis class to get ’em into CCNY. (Fulton) To hide the chalk from Mr. Weeman. (Mead) The group of sportsmen known as Corridor Athletes”, sparked by the diligent promotion of Budd, Dorn, and Co., has established an institution destined to future fame. 27 Seated: Pierre, Coghlan, Nobbe, Simon, Lekas, Foster, Chambers, Knoll. Second row: Maclntire, Kennedy, Vollmer, Stanley, Ada. Third row: Ten Broeck, Clinedinst, D’Agostino. SINCE the opening day of Trinity-Pawling, the Third Form has tried to organize for itself a mutual friendship which will continue to exist in future years. We elected as our representative in the Student Council Peter Ten Broeck, a boy who has been an honor student in his studies. With this new task he has done a fine job. Occasionally our councilman has called meetings to find what suggestions or complaints we wanted brought before the Student Council. As far as athletics are concerned, every boy participated in the school's sports program. In the fall, the majority of the boys went out for football, and a few went out for soccer. During the winter, basketball seemed the most popular, though hockey and swimming were enjoyed by a smaller group. In the spring, the turnout was for baseball, with track and tennis running close behind. All in all, it was a good year for the Third Form. 28 Gerakeris, Fisher, Wallace, Savage, Coons, Cunietti. Filial TWO TO those who never venture beyonti the oak doors of the third floor corridor, here is an example of third floor life. The first rooms you come to will probably house Tino Cunietti and Joe Coons. Joe wants to play electric football now that he has found a way to make the buzzer operate. Tino is befuddled; Joe is triumphant. The next room is that of James Greek Gcrakaris. It is known among higher authorities that he is always doing one of three things; taping his hockey stick, trading stamps, or writing a letter in Greek. Therefore you leave him to his serene atmosphere. Continuing on this venture, you usually see Bob Fisher and Greg Wallace in cahoots. You daren’t enter this room for fear that you will be bopped on the beezer with a lemon squeezer.” Finally you wonder where Tom Savage can be found. Ten to one he is in George Quinn's room. Thus with the chamber of your six-shooter emptied, you finally leave the third floor with the contented feeling of a job well done. 29 FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS Now hear this . . . !” Riddle Come-on, Babe” ....

It consists of eight members: three Sixth Formers, two of whom are elected by the students of the Sixth Form and the third appointed by the Administration; two Fifth Formers, one of whom is elected by the Fifth Form class and the other appointed; two members from the Fourth Form, one of whom is appointed and the other elected, and one member chosen by the members of the Second and Third Forms to represent them jointly. In the Council’s first meeting, it was decided to have two officers to carry on the Council's business, and conducts its meetings. Joe Callo was elected President, and Mario Turtur was elected to the office of Secretary-Treasurer. Trinity-Pawling’s Student Council has three primary functions in school life. First and most important of these functions is that this council is a form of student government. A council member is expected to be the right-hand man of a master. He is expected to help maintain all school rules at all times. The conducting of a number of study halls and the supervising of a special Sunday work program are among some of the Council's activities. Secondly, the Student Council serves as a connecting link between the Headmaster and the student body. Practical suggestions and ideas of the students are brought before the Headmaster for discussion. If the suggestions prove useful, they are usually adopted. Thirdly, the Student Council serves as a democratic form of government for the students. The students can make any complaints to the administration through the Council; they can also make suggestions for improvements in school life. By helping implant the democratic way of life in the students in these three ways, the Council greatly benefits the school. 32 Seated: Powell, Barrett, Webb, Daniels, (Editor - in - chief), Schneider, Stephens ( Business Manager), Ashland, Stevenson.

TlimTAMUS THE 1948 Trinity-Pawling Yearbook has had the honor of starting tradition and setting a pattern for future Trinity-Pawling Yearbooks. Without the aid of past Trinity books to guide them, the staff has organized a composite yearbook from a dozen or so other schools' books and the valued experience of the Kelly Publishing Company. Adding their own originality to the mixture, the staff has come up with the 1948 Trinitannus. One of the most familiar of calls around school this year has been . . . Hey . . . Mr. Heely.” Mister Heely who has had the dubious honor of faculty adviser to both student publications. The Times and the Trinitannus, has had much paging. This paging is one of the real factors that made this yearbook possible. Always an answer came echoing from The Coach,” that was worth framing for future chuckles, plus its information. January saw a strong drive for advertisements underway. February saw an active campaign for a publisher started. March saw near Mayhem set in. Well, maybe it wasn’t quite as bad as it sounds, but March did see one busy Yearbook staff pushing a harried pen around to meet the March 17th deadline. Only because of many hours of planning, however, has it been possible to meet it. 33 RililT mjlmc V01. 1 . .. 0 ° Wowot _______________ w „ Formal Dance Given by Council r Will Climax Events of Weekf “ ‘ndero £’’«' • Pool and a„V7un,0 Final Score V ve nep in Pv B 1 HO TQ JUN,°Ri AP Or,, • ----- ran«.v Sr - . ■■■ ■■ North%rn F U er O Lee N ieto 0 d s,,0£'°'«r , ’ °Pea v ''■ •a ,,d Hold nr... °Wes A uced a O Q i tt ue «• wo,,d h0,f 1,0,1 cco..° - nnai ov-oiv -Pool and a «� nmon „,„„„ oj, „ 0u,l“l � � r� .a;s«s's'Toir f- =!

The Trinity-Pawling Times has appeared eleven times during this, its first year. In addition to keeping the students up-to-date on all school activities and events, the Times has filled the role of school historian. Soon after the first issue appeared in October, a permanent staff was chosen. Mr. Heely, as faculty adviser, appointed Mac Page Editor-in-Chief and Stewart Stephens Business Manager. The writers of the four regular features were assigned, and the members of the news, business, and editorial boards were chosen. Harry Molwitz and Yogi Boll have been handling Pay Dirt,” the paper's humor column, and Jim Brantley and Hank Buttelman have done a fine job with Sport Shorts.” Mike Johnson edited Spotlight, the column that contained the news that was brief, but of interest to students and parents. One of the most widely read columns was Coming Movies,” which was written by Albert Manchester. When Mac Page left for college on the first of February, William Schneider, then Assistant Editor, was appointed Editor-in-Chief. Soon thereafter Clarence Dunn became Circulation Manager, in charge of mail subscriptions. There are many members of the lower forms on the staff this year, and most of them have gained the experience necessary to produce a good paper in future years. 35 Seated: Dunphy Stephens, Callo.

THE SIMMSII mil f I ' HE SPANISH CLUB was one of the first dubs to be organized after the beginning ■ - of school in September. The idea of a dub was so popular that it attracted first-year students as well as the more advanced boys. This group met under the direction of Mr. Wright, the Spanish and German teacher, and elected the following officers for the year: Wallace Barrett, president; Joe Callo, vice-president and treasurer; and Bob Powell, secretary. A committee was then picked by the officers to draw up a constitution, which has since been written and ratified. The purposes of the Spanish Club are numerous: to increase the knowledge of the language among its members; to promote interest in Spanish culture; to afford amusement in a Spanish manner; to improve the members' fluency in speaking the language; and many more. All of these have been accomplished during the year. At one meeting the club enjoyed singing Spanish songs; at another gathering the club was entertained by a very interesting talk by Douglas Binney on Guatemala. Listening to Spanish records and seeing colored pictures of a Mexican Bull Fight were some of the other programs. At Christmas time, the student body was entertained by the club’s rendition of Noche de Paz or Silent Night.' At a later school sing they sang Cielito Linda. In addition to these activities, the members of the club started a Spanish table at which only Spanish was spoken during the noon meal. Besides the student members, the club has three honorary members. They are Mrs. Wright, Mr. Drew, and Mr. Heely. Pepe,” Mr. Wright’s kitten was unanimously elected the club’s mascot. The members of the Spanish Club have enjoyed the club’s activities throughout the year, and wish to thank Mr. Wright for helping to make it very enjoyable. 36 Seated: Perkins, Powell. Mr. Lane ( Adviser), Manchester. Grosche. Standing: Ada, Barrett. Webb, Stephens, Harvey. Tllti PHOTOGRAPHY GLIB THE PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB, under the supervision of Mr. Lane, is probably the most useful club in the school. It did not start from scratch, however, in the collection of items necessary to the darkroom. The room which is now used was the darkroom used by Pawling School and is equipped with two large sinks and an auto-focus enlarger. The enlarger is rather old, but it has sufficed during the first year of the school. The members thoroughly realize that everything cannot be accomplished in one year. Albert Manchester, one of the most active members, is the club's president. Albert's pictures make up the majority of the sports photos and a good many of the other shots of school life which appear in this yearbook. During the first part of March, the club was over its head in work grinding out the prints for the yearbook and trying to make the March seventeenth deadline. In addition to taking pictures of the school life, Wally Barrett, another member of the club, was busy getting people to take pictures of him. Wally is probably the most photographed lad in the Trinity-Pawling Yearbook. Bob Powell, in charge of pictures for the annual, was often seen with his whip in hand driving LeRoy Harvey and Manchester to the darkroom, where stacks of Yearbook negatives awaited printing. It is easy to see why the Photography Club is one of the most important organizations in the school. It is this group that has made the Trinitannus a scrapbook of the little things that we shall look back upon with great enjoyment in the years to come. 37 Turtur, Ashland (Chairman), Cal lo, Molwitz, Pinkerton. THIS year's Dance Committee, composed of three Seniors and two Juniors, paved the way for what we hope will be many successes for Trinity-Pawling. In arranging our dance, the committee was hampered by two very difficult problems. The first was that there was no financial support except that obtained from the sale of tickets, and the second was the difficulty encountered in obtaining some of the materials needed for decorating the auditorium. The dance decorating crew, in charge of Mario Turtur, came across with some very novel and interesting ideas. Since this was a Valentine's Day dance, it was proposed that the dance floor be formed in the shape of a heart and that large hearts be placed all around the auditorium. A wishing well was also added upon the completion of these ideas. The ceiling was hung with red and white crepe paper, and each couple had a paper heart with their initials painted on it. A great deal of credit is due to the many willing helpers who pitched in and did an excellent job. Much of this credit should go to the faculty wives, who put in a great deal of time helping to put the decorations up. This was another case of many hands making light work. Since it was a weekend dance, arrangements had to be made for the boys' dates to stay in the main building. This was done by letting a large number of lower formers go on weekends, so that their rooms might be used. The boys slept up on the lower-form floor, while each boy's date slept in his own room. For meals, the dining room was fixed up very attractively in banquet style, the tables being placed end to end and decked out with tablecloths, candles, and flowers. There were also decorations of crepe paper hanging from the ceiling. 38 Sealed: Savage, Dun-phy, Webb, Kruge, Lott, Cunietti, Chambers, Coons.

WHILE walking through the halls of old Trinity-Pawling, there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary. But on a bright Sunday afternoon, a grand array of guns was to be seen, bearing such names as Stevens, Winchester, Colt, Remington, and Super Duper thousand shot BB. It soon became necessary for Mr. Riddleberger to turn his office into an arsenal for various reasons. . . . Crows are a very natural target for one to shoot at, but not the light socket on the other side of the closed window in the hockey house. Possibly the Township of Pawling could have been besieged by this tirade of sportsmen. One never knows, do one.-' Soon the need for a well supervised rifle organization became apparent. Thus the present-day club came into existence. Now on a purely theoretical basis, the club lacks the facilities that one would normally have, but interest is not lacking in the least, for the club is anticipating the time when these necessary facilities will be available. The members are looking forward to converting one of the barracks into a range of standard length. In time, matches will be held among the students and later the club may possibly compete with other schools. 39 Seated: Gillette, Dunn, Schneider, Crocker, Perkins, Powell, Molwitz.

Stephens, Pierre. ruin AROUND the middle of January, Mr. Wright and a few members of the student body decided to organize a record club for those boys who enjoy classical music. Accordingly, on the twenty-first of January the Record Club met for the first time in the apartment of Mr. Wright to listen to a pleasant selection of music by Debussy, Befalla, and the Don Cossacks. This first meeting was a success, and it was decided at this meeting to hold all meetings of the club on Wednesday evenings between the hours of seven and eight. The Record Club met again on the eighteenth of February and this time fifteen boys were in attendance. At this second meeting works of Gershwin and Stravinsky were heard. Since then the club has continued to grow in size. The principal belief of the club is that no one should be forced to listen to classical music. We believe that love for classical music is a taste and should be treated as a taste, which may or may not be acquired according to the individual. Hence it has been the policy of the club to leave an individual’s attendance up to his own discretion and to make no one feel obliged to attend any meeting of the club. In conclusion, it should be said that Mr. Wright deserves the thanks of the entire club for doing so much to make this club a success. He has supplied many of the records and has obtained the use of the remaining records from the faculty. He has let us have the use of his apartment and his record playing machine. He has supplied ample refreshments, and finally he has given us advice and information without which the club would not have been able to succeed. 40 THE GERMAN m i! DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN, recognized more widely as the German Club, was the last school club organized. Though membership has been necessarily limited by the smallness of the German classes here, there has been no lack of enthusiasm. No officers were elected, however, because of the limited membership. This new association's faculty adviser and supervisor is Mr. Wright. The members of the club are Douglas Binney and Mike Johnson, second year students; Dan Budd, who is taking his first year, and Bill Ashland. who has previously taken two years at Trinity School in New York. The members of the club are delighted to have as an honorary member, Mr. Cutler, who has studied German at Columbia University. Mr. Cutler was indispensable as an accompanist on the piano while we learned German songs. The club has many purposes, among them to acquire a wider knowledge of German culture, learn German songs and poems, and promote fluency in the speaking of the language. Refreshments are usually served at the close of each meeting. Plans of the club include the attendance at a German movie in New York if possible, the singing of German songs by the club during the school skit programs, and the preparation and delivery before the club of papers on various phases of German culture. Games and contests in German are also scheduled, and it is hoped that correspondence can be arranged with German-speaking young people. Among the songs learned by the club are the famous Die Lorelei,” O Tannen-baum, Stille Nacht,” and Wiegenlied. At the first meeting on February 16 all these songs were sung, and Mr. Wright performed Brahms Wie bist du meine Konigin,' accompanied at the piano by Mr. Cutler. During the refreshments everyone did his best to keep the German flowing freely. 41 Seated: Kennedy, Pierre, Perkins.Budd.

It was started in order to give these boys interested in the different fields of science a chance to use the laboratories and some of the equipment. Trinity-Pawling was lucky, because nearly all of the equipment in the science building was unused. This gave the boys a very good advantage, and a number of them performed many different experiments without any outside help. Most of the credit must be given to Doug Binney and Bill Kruge. Also members were the boys who w'ere interested in building or working on radios. Bill Kruge was very busy, but still had time to build a small model. Dan Budd also did a good deal of work by fixing the boys' radios. A few of the members worked with gasoline model engines. They are made for model airplanes or boats. Harry Molwitz and Clarence Dunn did exceptional work in this field, and after many long hours, succeeded in building a small model airplane, but because of terrible weather conditions in the early part of the year, it never succeeded in getiing many hours of flight. Also working in this field are tw'o lowerclassmen. Dean Lekas and Alexander Ada. Not to be forgotten are the boys who spent long hours in the biology laboratory performing experiments of considerable interest. Ted Kennedy, Andre Pierre, and Peter Afanassieff are the ones to whom most of the credit should be given. 42 First rou : Gerakeris, Foster, Coons. Second rou : Kennedy, Lekas.

THIS year the Woodworking Club has been one of the most popular organizations of the school. When the year began, there were in the shop a number of fine machine tools but few hand tools. Because of difficulty in getting orders filled, the hand tools did not arrive until the middle of the year. So far, the only thing that has hampered the progress of the club is a leak in one of the overhead pipes, but despite the wrinkles in the floor, the school still flocks to the shop. It might be interesting to note some of the projects undertaken by the club. Without the shop equipment, some of the decorations for the dance, such as the wishing well made by Joe Coons and the posts used to mark out the dance floor could not have been made. Many shelves to provide storage space in the darkroom were also made by Mr. Lane, the faculty adviser, who has built more things in the shop than anyone else. A great deal of credit should be given to Mr. Lane for the success of the Woodworking Qub this first year of the school. Recently a carpenter, Mr. Decker, was hired to teach those who were interested in learning how to use the hand and machine tools. He has also given the boys some help with their projects. This year the club has proved itself worthwhile, and in future years it should continue to be one of the most popular extra-curricular activities in the school. 43 First r ur.

OLEE CLUB T N the first weeks after the spring vacation, the Trinity-Pawling Glee Club gave two J- concerts. The first one was with Drew Seminary at Carmel, New York on Saturday evening April tenth. The second was on the following Friday evening April 16, with Trinity New York and Miss Fine's School of Princeton, New Jersey. The concert was given at Trinity School. Although the Glee Club entertained the student body at the sings” during the year, these were their only formal concerts. Following both recitals refreshments were served and informal dances were held for the members of the combined clubs. Because the Glee Club at Drew was so much larger than Triniry-Pawling's, Mr. Cutler was asked to take a number of extra boys to the concert to try to even up the number of boys and girls at the dance. These extras enjoyed both the concert and the dance very much. Four selections were sung jointly with Drew, and the remainder were sung by the individual clubs. Among the selections sung together with Drew were: Now Thank V e All Our God, the familiar hymn by Cruger; How It Rains, a Russian melody; Come Under My Plaidie: and the Fred Waring arrangement of Cornin' Through The Rye. Trinity-Pawling also sang a number of selections alone. Many of the same numbers were sung at the concert with Miss Fine’s School, and Trinity. Louis Dommerich was the manager and Sherwood Wallace was the librarian. Mr. Cutler directed the club, while Mr. Wright was the accompanist. 44 Left to right-. Mr. Wright. Ashland, Sprague.

It all started when John Gillette and Bill Ashland went up to the tower room to play some popular tunes and have a little jam session. They had such a big crowd that they decided to start a band. Ltxiking around, they found out it would not be very easy, as they could only find one trumpet player and another sax player. Mr. Wright consented to take Bill’s place at the piano while Bill took over the tenor sax. At the first meeting the boys decided to call themselves the Pawling Knights. They also decided who would buy the music and minor other things. The boys bought their own music and were under way. Their first public appearance was at the mass sing just before Christmas. There were other appearances where the boys played: at Saturday night movies, and at the show before spring vacation. Next year it is hoped that there will be more boys who are musically inclined to play in the orchestra. 45 KITCHEN DEPARTMENT Mr. and Mrs. Kelton QUARTET Mr. Wright.

They lost five while tieing one. However, four of those six games, with a couple of favorable breaks, could just as easily have gone the other way. Traveling to Scarborough for their first game. Pawling lost 6-0. In the opening minutes of the game Trinity drove to the four-yard line but failed to score, and that was the story throughout the game. Continually the Blue and Gold outplayed the Scarborough squad, with Hank Buttelman smacking through the line and Joe Callo skirting the ends. Scarborough, making its only serious threat of the afternoon, scored in the third quarter. The Kent seconds came to Pawling the following Saturday and went home with a tie game, 7-7. This was a closely fought game, and but for an inopportune fumble, Trinity-Pawling would have won the game. Kent scored their touchdown in the first period and on a Callo-to-Brantley pass Trinity-Pawling tied it up in the 2nd period. In the most exciting game of the year, Trinity was downed for its third loss by Darrow at Darrow 20 to 19. It was a see-saw game all the way. Trinity came from behind to tie it up twice but couldn't quite make it the third time. Back home again, Trinity-Pawling dropped a 19-12 thriller to Jesse Lee. Hank Buttelmann and Jim Brantley scored for Trinity-Pawling in the first half, but it was not enough as Jesse Lee pushed across two touchdowns in the last quarter to win the game. The Blue and Gold in its last two games played bigger and more experienced teams. We were decisively beaten by Berkshire, 31-0, and by Gunnery, 59-7. All was not lost, however, as our second team saved us from a complete whitewashing in the win column. Losing their first two games, one to Wooster 12-6 and the other to Millbrook 7-0, the second team scored an upset by defeating South Kent 7-0. 49 First row: Foster, Gillette, Kruge, Cunietti, Mead, Ray (Captain), Binney, Williams.

The team was not a high scoring team but held their opponents to low scoring games. They were very good on defense but not on the offense. Their last game was a victory over Trinity School of New York City, with a score of four to two. The team really fought all the way through and showed they could win. The soccer team was the first varsity team to win a game here at Trinity-Pawling. Coach Palmer appointed a captain for each game; they were: A1 Ray, MacPage, John Gillette and Bill Kruge. At the end of the season, the boys got together and elected A1 Ray as the year captain for 1947. The half-back line was invincible with Gillette. Kruge, and Draffin. The forward line which did the scoring was composed of Williams, Binney, Ray, Mead, and Cunnetti. The scorers for the year were, Williams, Mead, Binney, and Kruge. Williams was high scorer with two points. We can't leave out the full-backs and goalie. Butch Dorn, Kim Sprague, and Joe Clark all played fine games also. The team has great hopes for next year, as all but three of the players are returning. 51 Seated: Woods, Killeen, Callo, Nobis, Johnston, Barrett.

MacSmith's invention of a sissy game to relieve the winter monotony of £ gymnasiums, good teams have been formed in two ways: by offering athletic scholarships or by the development primarily of inexperienced material. The second system was responsible for our surprising Varsity Squad. Their unyielding spirit brought about seven ? victories in the last seven contests. During the first six games it seemed as if the quintet would accomplish little more , than Dr. MacSmith's original intention. However, a barely noticeable change was taking place. This came to light in our seventh and eighth engagements, with Gunnery and Canterbury. The team really caught fire against Wooster, turning the tables with a 33-15 victory. A strong outfit, which had completely revived from an early season slumber, went on to win seven of its nine remaining games. The two losses were understandable. The first was at the hands of Trinity School in New York, which completed its season undefeated, beating two of the best teams in the East. The second set-back was by Hackley, which lost only to Trinity School this year. Then seven consecutive wins were scored. The first was a close game with Storm King, 20-16. In the second encounter, we avenged an early season loss by overwhelming Greer, 39-23. Johnston tossed in eighteen points and might have scored twice as many but for a lively plastic rim. We almost doubled Darrow's total three days later and defeated Millbrook the following Wednesday by a score of 30-25. The score against Jesse Lee, a slim 32-31, was a fitting monument to the squad's obstinate spirit. We played one post-season game against Providence Country Day School. We won this game by a score of 34-32. At the season’s end Joe Callo wound up high-scorer and was elected captain. Norm Johnston, who came late, proved an able player and averaged about ten points per game. There were six lettermen this year. 53 Seated: Shatford, Nagle, Anderson, Judge, Dunphy, Grosche, Wright.

The unconquerable foe, snow, teamed up with another unexpected enemy, lack of manpower, and gave the squad quite a fight. There were only a few days that the rink was completely clear of snow, even though many tedious hours were spent shoveling. Thus the team had very little practice outside of that gained in the actual playing of games. Although the number of candidates reporting was small and many of them had never played hockey before, a starting six was picked, along with five others who were to be substitutes. The first game with Canterbury was played away. The team showed great promise in this opener and only lost by a 2-0 score. Chuck Wright started in the goal for Trinity-Pawling and proved to be one of the much needed substitutes later in the season. Also Rick Nobbe, John Webb, Jim Andes, and Peyton Pinkerton shared the job of relieving when called upon. In the Millbrook game, which was next on the list, Trinity-Pawling was defeated 3-0; but here, the main cause for defeat was a lack of substitutes. Millbrook used three good lines against Trinity-Pawling's one. Playing away once more, at Wooster School, the hockey team earned their first win, 1-0. John Judge, the center, scored the first goal of the season on a pass from Hugh Dunphy who played left wing. After a defeat by Salisbury, the next victory came at the expense of Darrow school as Trinity-Pawling won a hard fought 5-4 contest. Judge scored four times on assists from Dunphy and Pinkerton. During the next few weeks the hockey team was defeated by Kent and Storm King. They were also nosed out by an improved Wooster team 3-2. The last game was played away, at Berkshire, the best opponents of the year. Way out of Trinity-Pawling s class, Berkshire won 9-1. The first period, however, was close, with Berkshire tallying but once. With only seven lettermen and a lack of practice caused by the snow, Mr. Thompson turned out a good team. All but two of this year's team are returning, and the outlook for next year doesn't seem too dim. The team will miss Bob Anderson, however, who played a brilliant game of defense this year and was very important in Trinity-Pawling's victories. 55 Seated: Perkins, Ploch, Molwitz, Bastine, Quinn.

The varsity- squad was small, however, with only ten boys showing ability to make the team. This fact forced a few of our swimmers to participate in more than one event. The first scheduled meet was on January 8, with the Trinity College freshmen, (jaly two days after our Christmas vacation, and it ended in a 48-9 trouncing by the collegemjBL The Trinity freshmen, who boasted a team better than their own varsity, took every event '-save the 220 yd. freestyle, which Hank Buttelman won. Our team was obviously out of condition, and some men were in more than one event, while others were not in their ' proper events. The second meet on February 11 showed our team vastly improved, as we edged Hackley out 30-27. Quinn won the 40 yd. freestyle, Molwitz the 100 yd. freestyle, Bastine the 100 yd. backstroke, and Buttelman the 200 yd. freestyle. The outcome of the meet was in question until our 160 yd. freestyle relay won, making Trinity-Pawling the victor, after having come from behind. Three days later we swam Canterbury and lost 46-11 in a meet which was closer than the score indicates, as our times were just a bit slower than Canterbury’s. Bastine took our only first place, winning the back stroke. A week later, at New Haven, Connecticut, Trinity-Pawling swam Hopkins and lost 43-14 in the New Haven Boy’s Club pool. Our team did well in spite of the one-sided score. Dommerich won the 40 yd. freestyle which was our only first place. Hank Buttelman swam well, finishing second behind Frank Dooley, who set a new interscholastic 220 yd. freestyle record of 2:14. The freestyle relay was very close, and was in our favor until their last man passed ours and finished less than one yard in front. Next year’s swimming team should better this year’s record, with more than half of this year's squad returning. Four men scored ten or more points in four meets this year. In order they are Buttelman, Molwitz, Bastine, and Dommerich. 57 First row: Nobbe, Knoll, Wallace, Lekas. Second rou : Vollmer, Savage, Dunphy, Bastinc, Af-anassieff.

JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL f I 'HE JUNIOR VARSITY football team was a hard-fighting aggregation. Although the J- record for the year was only a fair one, the team fought hard in every game; and next year should see some of the players on the varsity squad. With Mr. Stickney as coach, the team dropped its first game to Millbrook. Jack Bastine, an up and coming four back, played a stellar game. The following Wednesday the second game of the season was played. This time, the Junior Varsity lashed a big Storm King team. 14-6. This was the first game won in any sport by a Trinity-Pawling team. One of the things that led to this victory was the moral support received from the varsity. In the third game of the season the Blue and Gold was defeated by a strong South Kent team, 19-7. Because of a weak pass defense, the opposing team scored its three touchdowns. Then, seeking revenge, the Junior Varsity played Greer. After 32 points had been scored in the first half, Mr. Stickney put in the second team. The seconds allowed the Greer team to score once. The final score was 32-6. Among those who contributed to the season's success were: Dunphy and Stanley at the ends; D Agostino and Mattson playing guards; Rafelson at three back; and Afanassieff who played one back.

Basketball Team's season was not completely successful, but like the Varsity, the (earn improved as the year wore on and won three of their last four games. After losing to Millbrook, and beating Greer, the J.V. first team and the Varsity second team were switched so that the J.V. team had Alderton, Dunn, and Rafelson alternating at guard, Townsend at center, and Mead and Sheffield as forwards. In their first games the team lost to Salisbury, Kingswood, Gunnery, Trinity, and Storm King. During this time, the boys played fine ball in practice, but they did not fare so well in their games. In the next encounter, the team defeated Greer, but Froggy Townsend sprained his ankle, and Mike Johnson played center for the next two games. Alan Sheffield was also unable to play, and Don Dorn played forward. The boys lost to Darrow, but then beat Millbrook 18 to 11 and slaughtered Jesse Lee in their last game by a score of 49 to 12. The high scorers for the year were Townsend, with fifty-four points, and Sheffield with thirty-seven. Townsend was elected captain for the year.

VARSITY BASEBALL 1 'HE baseball prospects for the season of 1948 are quite promising with a large number - ■ of boys turning out. The squad has good potential material at all positions, and has what will probably be a very fine pitching staff, headed by Ned Killeen and supported by Jim Brantley. There are from two to five players trying out for the other positions. Under the able coaching of Mr. Dunbar and his assistant, Mr. Stickney, the team has been rounding into shape for its first contest with Greer on April 17. Taking on a rather stiff schedule for the first year, the varsity will meet such foes as Trinity College Freshmen, Trinity School. Taft, and Gunnery. The Junior Varsity is also being organized, and so far five games have been arranged. 60 From row: Poster, Nobis, Knoll. Second rou : Gillette, Callo, Pinkerton, Stephens, Clinedinst. Third row: Mattson (Manager), Neill, Budd, Wahl, Lott, Binney, Quint ston, Buttelman, Fr. Weeman (Coach). VARSITY TRACK A PROSPECTUS of the 1948 track season, from a vantage point of one week's practice is difficult. The season however promises several stars. The 220 low hurdles will be taped by the flying form of Dave Nobis. This discus thrower will be whirling Hank Buttelmann. Scaling the lofty heights of the pole vaulting stick will be long Jack Bastine. Heading the stars on the long track will be Joe Callo. In numbers the 1948 track team will be quite small. The seven scheduled meets will be engaged in with a fighting spirit and win or lose, the team will gain experience for its 1949 encounters. Father Weeman, who was a star of Pawling School, has given his knowledge to create stars from green wood. Three-thirty to five-thirty has seen spills, records, and tired legs, all to the betterment of the team. 61 Kneeling: Chambers, Harvey, Dunn, Crocker. Standing: Rafelson, Powell, Barrett, Fulton, Ray, Nagle, Mr. Thompson {Coach). VARSITY TEAMS I 'HE prospects for the tennis team this year look fairly good. Although few boys have played in competition before, they look as though they could hold their own. The team is lucky to have a good coach like Mr. Thompson, who gives most of his time to show the boys how to play better tennis. The singles department seems to be taken up by Crocker, Chambers, Fulton, Barrett, Dunn, and Harvey, and the doubles are undecided as yet. The match is on Saturday, April 24th, when the team travels to Storm King to play their first match of the year. They also play the Kent II, Berkshire, Hopkins Grammar, Canterbury, and others. Only time will tell how the team will shape up, but from present appearance the boys look like they could win quite a few matches. 62 63 'Tfumax Boll Most Typical Trinity-Pawling Man Done Most For Trinity-Pawling Stephens Done Trinity-Pawling For Most Barrett Most Popular Buttelman Best Athlete Buttelman Most Likely To Succeed Daniels Best Natured ..................................................................

May I suggest that all objections be overruled until I have completed this oration. Bear with me while I swing your imagination into the great city of New York twenty years hence. Realizing that Stew Stephens was sailing today, I thought it my first duty to go down to the pier and wish him bon voyage. In our conversation there he convinced me that he had been summoned by comrade Vladimir Assitchsky to establish the renowned Dann five year plan that had worked so well at Trinity-Pawling School. After the boat sailed, I happened to be walking past Yankee Stadium, when I encountered a crowd circled around an old man prostrate on the ground. I recognized him as Ned Killeen. Several people tried to help him up, but he said he had fallen into such a comfortable position that he didn't want to be helped up. When he found out the ball-game was about to start, however, he rushed to the gate with all speed. That evening. 1 decide to go and hear the nauseating strains of Ashland and his Boys beat out their bilious balderdash. Seeing Ashland on the job was not the only shock I received. The floor was cleared of its occupants weaving to and fro to the weird music, and when the lights had grown dim, who should waltz in but that famous dance team John Webb and Bob Anderson. The team displayed its remarkable ability in dodging flying missies which forced them to retire. Glancing around the various tables, I noticed a huge man who looked out of place. Walking over to the table, whom should I find but Tiny Neill. He informed me that he had become a mortician, and that he had come in the hope that some misguided missile would give him some business. The next morning I was awakened by the news boy yelling Extra. Upon reading the headlines. I discovered amazing news: Einstein's theory shattered! Page discovers fifth dimension.” It w'as gratifying to realize that one of my classmates following the tendency displayed in school had attained such great success. I then encountered my old friends, Dave Nobis and A1 Ray. They told me they had become very prosperous manufacturers and were making a thousand dollars a week. 68 I then went to lunch with Kim Sprague, who was a pillow salesman for the Feather and Down Company, but he had lain down on the job. However, he said that since he had made his own bed, he would have to lie in it. Walking down the street later, I met Bob Powell, who said he was intensely occupied in a law suit in which the Smith Bros. Co. were suing Philip Morris Cigarettes, for doing away with the coughs of the nation. Bob also told me about Wally Barrett. It seems that Wally, through constant use of his vocal chords, had become a famous sword swallower in Barnum Bailey's Circus. However, a great disaster had befallen him. The hard times of the period has cut him down to daggers and whispers. The next morning, I visited Norm Johnston. I found he was in the blotting paper business, which he told me was very absorbing. I then made my way to Wall Street and went to see Louis Dommerich at his brokerage office. When I asked him how business was, he replied that it was so good he hoped to have his shoes half-soled next month. After leaving Lou Dommerich, I went to the Bayside City Hall where I found Hank Buttelmann, a political boss of Bayside. He said he had become so corrupt in this position that he didn't know which party he was gypping half the time. I then made my way to the Bowery, where I found Bill (Yogi) Boll. Boll had become hobo-king of the United States and also the editor of the Hobo News. Yogi was currently writing an editorial against the girdle manufacturers of the United States. He was against them for living off the fat of the land. I then decided to see the much talked of movie, Lost In A Fog, written and acted by that great playwrite Slug Stevenson. This was only one of the misty tales written by this great author. In the newsreel, we were astounded to see a truly amazing sight. The picture showed the defeat of Joe Callo by Babe Diedrickson in the 880 yard try-outs for the Olympics. I was in the movie some time before I realized the person sitting next to me was Doc Turtur, who told me he was in charge of the Napoleon uniforms at Harlem Valley State Hospital. He went on to say it was an extremely tedious task with a thousand or more of these military geniuses to cater to. Not being able to find Red Daniels anywhere, I decided to return home. However, on the train, who should punch my ticket but old Red Sails In The Sunset himself. He told me that in his first year at college, he had become so engrossed in reading time-tables the night before the final exam that all he could think of on the exam was the time it took Number Nine to get to Pocomo City from East Podunk, Nebraska. I also had something to read about. 1 had just completed one of the largest bankruptcy proceedings in the history of the United States.
