Roger Thomas Whitburne Whit” Entered 1948 22 Grove Street, New York, New York Yale—Second Team Football ’48; Varsity Hockey ’49; Trinity-Pawling Times ’49; Trinitannus, Activities Editor '49; Tennis '49; Photography Club '49; Glee Club '49. The outstanding list of activities which Roger has compiled in his single year at Trinity-Pawling shows the immediate popularity which he gained. The life of the party on the third floor and one of the mainstays of the French Table, Roger has one of the finest and most alert senses of humor in the school. William Albert Wilson Bill Entered 1947 140 Rich Ave., Mount Vernon, New York Denison—Second Team Football '47, Varsity '48; Varsity Swimming '48; Wrestling '49; Varsity Baseball '48, '49. Bill has the personality of a bear when playing football or wrestling; yet, he's probably the friendliest member of the class. One loud bellowing How ya doin', kid? has lifted the eyelids of many a seven o’clock sleepwalker. He's a smart boy who managed to get out of Math Four before his average went in minus quantities. 27

Clement Frederick Ward Fred Entered 1948 Pawling, New York Hamilton—Second Team Football '48; Varsity Basketball ’49; Varsity Baseball ’49. Freddy is one of fair Pawling’s few representatives at the big school on the hill. His speedy legs and winning smile have won him a place both athletically and socially here at T.-P. He's another fellow who can get you a date as dances approach and other girls say sorry. Donald Frederick Wahl Don Entered 1947 64 Walker Avenue. Morristown, New Jersey Middlebury—Salutatorian; Cum Laude; Varsity Soccer '47, '48; Varsity Hockey, Manager '48, '49; Track '48; Spanish Club '48, Secretary '49; Glee Club '48, '49; Trinity-Pawling Times '49. At this writing, the seemingly quiet and hard-working Don is under suspicion of being the ring-leader of all subversive antifaculty movements, and it is doubtful whether he will graduate except posthumously. In truth, he’s really a square guy who gets his good marks by applying himself to his studies. 26

TRINITY-PAWLING CLASS OF 1949 HOLDS 10th ANNIVERSARY PARTY; REUNION HELD AT THE SCHOOL (The following is a reprint from the New York Herald Tribune of June 8, 1959.) PAWLING, N. Y., June 8, 1959.— This afternoon, the twenty-eight graduates of the outstanding Class of 1949 returned to Trinity - Pawling School for their class reunion. After ten years, many of the boys have made great progress in their respective fields. The school prepared for many days to receive these cherished alumni, and all was ready. The first former Trinity-Pawling student to arrive at the gala party was Sterling Blair. Sterling managed to get the trustees of Dartmoth College to give him the day off. He is the coach of basketball at Dartmoth and the second in charge of leaf raking. As a large 1935 Ford roadster stopped in front of the school, out stepped Lenny Bowman and Bernie Bogoslofski. These two illustrious graduates are working together again, and they run the biggest and only penny arcade in East Hartford. They also play football for the Simsbury Slackers every fall. An old rickety school bus stopped at the door, and inside were found maestro John Gillette and his six sons. They have their own dance band now, and they are currently appearing at the Astor Roof in New York. Arriving on the Pawling Flier of the New York Central after a three hour journey were John Judge and Bill Kierstead. John, after playing hockey for six years with the Rangers, couldn't bear to leave the ice, so he is now an ice attendant at Madison Square Garden. He has become a very close friend of Bill, who has gained a high executive position. He has been promoted to the head of the Garden beer and ice cream vendors. He also played hockey for five years with the Bruins and was a football star with the Boston Yanks. An old hay wagon arrived at the door, with Mike Johnson driving. Mike said that he is now a Gentleman Farmer and that he has recently invented a mechanical device which feeds his chickens in the morning so he can sleep an hour later. Dr. Clarence Dunn was the next alumnus to arrive at the school. Clarence graduated from medical school but soon gave up his practice. He wanted to sell his new reducing formula to the public. His famous motto, See what it did for me! has been heard along Broadway from Times Square to Columbus Circle. He has described his sales campaign as highly successful. A large new chauffeur-driven sports roadster couldn't make it up the hill, so its occupant walked the last few yards, and it turned out to be Braxton Nagle. Brax is now the head of the largest exporting house in the east. His chief products are cheese and other dairy products. At the same time, A1 Ray arrived. He arrived at New York by plane from Aruba last night. Becoming confused by the complications and red tape of this civilization, he settled down in Aruba, where he follows a peaceful hobby of drawing the things he would like to have. Another noted celebrity to arrive was Conrad Kohlheyer. Connie is now the outstanding comedian of the East —east of New York, that is. He is currently appearing with Gillette's boys in New York. Another group of arrivals included George Quinn, Don Wahl, and Bill Wilson. George has opened his own gym, and according to latest reports, he is giving Stillman's strong competition. His success is not without reason, however, for among his champions are the two graduates accompanying him. Gorgeous Will Wilson, the heavyweight wrestler who 28
