Trinity Pawling School - Scroll Yearbook (Pawling, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1957 volume:

Wc of the editorial board believe that a yearbook should elicit the spirit of a school from the life and activities of its students. With this common belief as our criterion, we have carefully sought to portray the Trinity-Pawling boy acting and reacting in what is idealistically known as the pursuit of knowledge. If we have deviated from the traditionally journalistic coverage of his individual talents and acomplishments and the detailed repetition of his collective wins and losses, it has been to pursue a more elusive quarry. Forthwith we present him to you. The Editors STAFF Editor-in-Cbief: Caleb £.

AMEN. Dedication SINCE the establishment of Trinity-Pawling School in 1947, Mr. Carleton has been very prominent among our school's benefactors. Although a loyal and devoted alumnus of Trinity School in New York, his interests have expanded to encompass our younger institution. As chairman of the Board of Trustee’s Building Committee, his energies helped to make the new dormitory the wonderful place it is. Through his many generous benefactions the possibility of the new gymnasium is becoming more and more a reality. When it is erected, it will be known as the Carleton Gymnasium. As Trinity-Pawling takes its place among the most famous boarding schools of this country, much credit must be given to the devotion and unswerving interest of Robert A. W. Carleton, to whom the senior class respectfully dedicates this book. 5 Academic FACULTY SENSORS PREFECTS Here tire his teachers.

Student Council TO help achieve unity of the student body by democratic representation has been the goal of the student council representatives. Members from all of the different forms met regularly and enthusiastically to discuss matters pertinent to the welfare of the student body. Fred Young, as head prefer:, did an excellent job of supervising and regulating this functional organization. Secretary Rob Myslik also helped forward the activities of this group by regularly reading the minutes of the meetings and lending his valuable assistance in other respects. This organization has also worked in conjunction with the prefects in many other school activities. Altogether, the student council had a very successful year and accomplished a great deal. 12 tor jour years be bus climbed the ladders of success. The way upward has been long and hard, but he has relished its challenge. At last he is a Senior, mature of judgment and confident that he can handle what is to come in the future. Mole” Entered 1955 With affection beaming in one eye and calculation in the other.'’ Mole is noted for his studioucness and his antics in the Chem-Lab. He has gained considerable popularity by enlivening the drab (?) Dutchcr House life and will long be remembered for his What, me worry? smile. Even though everyone knows he cheats in them, he still denies it. His full periods are proof enough. He should also know better than to sign his English compositions Melvin Cowz-nofski.” He's not fooling anyone. The impractical chemist. John Anthony Altson 15 Manor Road Douglaston, L. I., N. Y.

Tony Entered 1955 Modest merit has a double claim to acceptance. Possessing a wonderful personality and a high degree of modesty, Tony has made many lasting friends at Trinity-Pawling. Even though he is considered one of the quieter seniors, he is a man of no few interests. The guitar, baseball, and sports cars occupy his thoughts while he isn’t studying, although he is a constant worker. One of Cape Cod's most notorious exponents, Tony always looks forward to each summer when he can catch up on his fishing and boating. 14 Andy Entered 1956 There is honesty, manhood, and good fellowship in him. Andy is an extremely studious, cheerful and helpful boy. He is very interested in science and is more than likely to do well in that field. Basketball is also one of Andy's accomplishments, as he played first string on the league-winning Varsity team. Bruce is an outstanding example to under-formers of a good-natured student with a sincere desire to learn. Dead-Eye Future world champion(?) Sidney Entered 1953 Good humor is the health of the soul.’’ Sidney has always been very good-natured. When he is not giggling in his renowned fashion, he's keeping others happy with his famous shaggy-dog stories. He is an avid sports car enthusiast, and is never at a loss for words when describing his exploits in the family's new T-bird. He is also known for his ever-accurate score-keeping and his good memory. Sid has acquired many friends at T-P with his easy-going manner and genial personality.

Although he is better known for his quietness, he is very much liked for his school spirit. Alfie's interest in swimming has made him a valuable asset to the Varsity Swimming Team for four years. He is good-natured and highly competitive; some even say he’s cute. We predict that, as he has been popular in school, Alfie will be successful in life. All in his element. Jack” Entered 1955 His character is his will, for what he will, he is.” This year, in Jack, we have one of our school's most potential candidates for an all-around college career. He has been editor of the T-P TIMES and is known for his infectious personality and varying haircut. Next to sporting his infamous red blazer. Jack likes best to argue and clown with his pal (?), the headmaster.

Biv’s is a capable speaker both in impromptu sessions and in debates. He practices courtesy and politeness, and is indeed a proverbial Southern Gentleman.” Now, ask you ... Mr. America. Doug” Entered 1956 Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal.” Doug's straightforwardness and smiling sense of humor have won him many friends here at T-P. He is notorious for his interest and ability in swimming, and his near All-Amcrica speed has helped to keep the swimming team together. A conscientious and hard worker, he has made an important contribution to his class. Doug was selected prefect this year and has carried out his obligations in a commendable manner. His friendliness and his determination will enable him to go far in life.

A familiar sight to all of us this past year has been the long line of students waiting outside the school store for Dave to open up and announce that he is ready to sell anything from light bulbs to hockey sticks. Dave also docs very well at sports, being a real hustler. He has an insatiable appetite for history and English books. T-P will miss his infectious smile and his liveliness. 18 Duck” Entered 19VI To tell sad stories of my ou n mishaps . . Duck is very enthusiastic towards his school, and shows his spirit both as a participator and an organizer. He is a real backfield spark plug on the gridiron and a hustler on the hockey rink. Duck is also an accomplished dramatist on the playing field. Such school spirit and good-naturedness should be winning assets for him in his college experience. must he faculty laundry. Get W iId root Cream Oil, Charlie. Bob” Entered 1955 Dandies, when first rate, are generally very agreeable men. During his two years at Trinity-Pawling, Bob has proven himself a conscientious student and citizen. Always nattily attired, he seldom loses his composure, although it has been sorely tried at several week-end dances. An avid jazz fan, he has a large record collection which he uses as accompaniment as he practices the latest dance steps. His good naturedness and sharp wit have gained him many friends and a real place in the graduating class of ’57.

Porky Entered 1956 ''1Vbett the cal's aivay, the mice u ill play. Porky is indeed one of the most frolicsome seniors at T-P. He is always ready for a practical joke and adds life to most any gathering. As a Varsity Soccer player, Porky threw his weight around with considerable effectiveness. His rollick-some mischievousness and his team spirit are the best evidence of his agreeableness to everyone. Such good naturedncss will make him friends wherever he goes. What sweet delight a quiet life affords. Buck is one of the post-graduate members of the class. He possesses a quiet sense of humor and a fantastic collection of neckties (making it easy for us to find him any place in the school). His letters from Manhasset have made him the butt of much ribbing, although he denies all accusations of their significance. Buck has, in one short year, proved himself to be a valuable contribution to the spirit of our class. From Brooks Brothers’ bargain basement. 20 Durbs” Entered 1953 The secret of success is constancy of purpose Don is one of the original members of the Dutcher House Gang and is one of the coolest sax players T-P has ever known. He is also a member of every musical organization in the school and spends most of his spare time at rehearsals. Don is very conscientious about everything he does and is living proof that hard work always pays off. Young man with a horn. I have too paid my dues! Duke” Entered 1955 A debonair and chivalrous aristocrat.” Duke's three claims to fame at T-P are his knife throwing ability, his rifle club announcements, and his linguistic ability. No mean student of Europe, he always enlivens any bull session” with his discussion of the continent in his impromptu Southern accent.

Entered 1953 Yon Cassius bath a lean and hungry look.” Snake, one of the charter members of the class of '57, combines unusual swimming talent with outstanding academic ability. His unbelievably long reach from his upper bunk to almost any place in the room is responsible for his nickname. Snake is never left speechless, although sometimes he wishes he had been, because he has a propensity for ending up with his foot in his mouth. As is evident by all the kidding he so good-naturedly takes, Snake is very popular at T-P. We wish him every success. Snake takes a break. Ed Making sturdy for a stiU wind. Entered 1953 The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.” Ed is one of the more adept boys in the form when it comes to using his hands. He is a very capable draftsman and is planning to enter a school for draftsmanship next fall. Although being one of the quieter boys in the school, Ed can talk up a storm when the subject turns to sailing. Ed looks forward to sailing in his new boat this summer.

Having a pleasant disposition as well as a Florida suntan, he has made many friends, some of whom are female. Because of his skill in both swimming and debating, he has the distinction of being one of the few extremely resourceful seniors. Three little words.

Determination. Cliff” Entered 1953 Few things are impossible to diligence and toil. Cliff is a conscientious and hardworking student, who is also very tasteful in his selection of clothing. His interests lie in running the school snack bar and the 880, which he races in all weather, not barring snow. Among the first in the mail line, he always anticipates a letter from some certain person in Washington. 23 Squirrel” Entered 19 4 Where there is a will, there is a way.” Squirrel is one of the most versatile boys in the senior form. He is a good dancer and is thoroughly engrossed in the rock 'n roll craze. He has constantly shown his good taste where the fair sex is concerned, much to the envy of the onlookers. Squirrel’s very agreeable personality and his spirited participation in numerous activities have made many friends for him. His refreshing intelligence and good humor are sure to make him a success.

'Skitch” Entered 19 6 How ill white hairs become a foot and jester.” One of the school’s mischievous Bostonians, Skitch has added greatly to the T-P spirit with his witty comments and enlivening personality. That Bill’s main interest is hockey is obvious to any onlooker who watches him play. His humor did not at all interfere with his quiet and studious attitude, and he was hence chosen prefect much to the delight of the entire student body. Skitch has a winning combination in his light-hearted spirit and his eagerness. 24 Digger” Entered 1956 No man who laughs heartily can he called had. Digger, one of the famed Bostonians, is an active member of his class although he came to T-P this fall. One of the most modest of the Seniors, he deserves acclaim for his good nature and football and hockey ability. Digger, with his ceaseless efforts in both his studies and his activities, is sure to be as great a success in life as he is at Trinity-Pawling. I’ll be shoveling along . .

Inst thumbing through the yearbook. Mouse” Entered 1954 A man’s own character is what most becomes him.” Mouse is one of the most athletic boys in the school. That he is very able to accept responsibilities is evidenced by the fact that he was appointed prefect and elected captain of the football team. Since being named prefect, Mouse has become very interested in radios and has acquired an extensive collection. In his spare time Mouse also acts as Johnson Hall's telephone operator. To be more serious, however, he is more than likely to have a successful and prosperous future if he continues to be as industrious as he has been here at T-P. 25 Tom” Entered 1956 Thomas Pine Huntington 91 Interlaken Avenue New Rochelle, New York Spanish Club 4; Varsity Soccer 4; Basketball 4; Track 4. Coolness and the absence of beat and baste indicates fine qualities.” A friendly personality is one of Tom's greatest assets. Coupled with his adventurous tales and his fair complexion, this makes him the ideal woman’s man. With studying and his other activity, golf, he has little leisure time, although it is far from his nature to miss a good joke.

Jeps” Entered 1954 Wisdom denotes the pursuing of the best things by the best means.” Jeps, one of New York’s ambassadors to T-P, is also the author of those humorous French Club plays which never fail to panic the school. As one of this year’s mailmen, he delights in disrupting the fifth period classes with his daily departure to the post office. George's large vocabulary and subtle humor mark him as a man of great learning and unsung integrity. 26 Chico Entered 1956 A cheerful temper joined with innocence . . The disabled football hero, hoping to repeat his postgraduate course, is known as one of the charter members of the Dutcher House Gang. Chico always seems to be smiling at something. So far, no one knows what, but it is a point of interest. Wrong way Herbie is also said to play a nice game of basketball. Too bad no one has ever told him what the game's object is. Herbie.

Steve” Entered 1953 I ant a great friend to public amusements.” Steve, who came to us from Westchester County, is one of the few original members of the class of ’57. He established an interesting pattern early this year traveling with astounding regularity from the Dutcher House to the pool room. During his stay here, he has climbed the ranks of three varsity sports, and Steve is said to have made the most appraised tackle of the season. 27 Harry Entered 1954 ”Facts are stubborn things.” Harry is one of the more fortunate members of our class in that he lives right here in Pawling. This fantastic luck also won for him a spot on the kitchen crew and a rich prize at one of the Emma Willard dances! Timely tales of his town exploits were often the source of friendly arguments which are such a large part of our school life. and one for the road.

Fascinated rhythm. Jeff” Entered 1954 ''When great questions end little parties begin.” If one wanted a single word to describe Jeff, that word would be well-rounded.” Jeff gives his best in everything he does. This has been demonstrated both in his keen sense of sportsmanship as a varsity football player, and in the classroom. But, like most Westchester boys, the desire for pleasure is never relinquished. 28 Bob Entered 1955 Every mail’s life is a volume if you know how to read him. Bob transferred from Trinity School in New York and has since become one of the leaders of his class. Besides being named a prefect in his senior year, he is an outstanding athlete and student. He is well respected for these qualities. Homework, or what?

In him one can readily find friendship. Rumor has it that Wimp plans to become a pro hockey player when he graduates, although this is not certain as yet. If he does not like this work, he might gain world renown for his singing and banjo playing. Seriously. Wimpy has made a great many friends at T-P and will always be liked. 29 Marsh” Entered 195 ) uoh«£ BUST Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.’’ Marsh” is a familiar figure on and off the football field. The outstanding frame of mind and tremendous competitive spirit which he brings to all his work has made him well-liked by his teammates and classmates. His occasional hack” keeps the humorous side far from being concealed. Marshall will, by just being himself, be long remembered by the class of ’57. Reading maketh a full man.

He was elected prefect soon after the school year started and has carried out his duties proficiently. As captain of the soccer team, his playing left a lasting impression on us clumsy Yankee novices. The Limey's trade marks are his ever-present smile and infectious laugh. We shall miss both next year. 30 Bob Entered 1953 For the love of laughter, hinder not the humor of his design. Bob is equally at home on the steering end of the school tractor or at the controls of the snow-hlower. He has become very popular among his fellow seniors for his jovial manner. Although he is a hard worker, Bob is not one to let a chance for a little fun slip by. A loyal T-P citizen, he places his obligations to the school's maintenance program above his desire to participate in athletics. The kid can do anythin)’!

Jack” Entered 1953 Man's love is of man’s life a part.” Jack has not only won his varsity letter in baseball for four consecutive years as T-P’s best pitcher, but he is also one of the best punters T-P has ever seen. Jack writes constantly to his Ohio belle, who is perhaps responsible for his on-a-doud-like” stride. Throughout his stay at T-P, Jack has been living at the luxurious Dann Manor. 31 Bill Entered 1955 William Palmf.r Scully 235 West 76th Street New York, New York Prefect 4; Student Council Treasurer 4; Acolytes’ Guild 4; French Club 4; Varsity Soccer 3, 4; Varsity Basketball 3, 4; Varsity Track 3. 4. ‘True merit is like a river: the deeper it is, the less noise it makes Since Bill entered T-P, he has been a near-honor student.

As active in school as they were high in spirit, they showed a high potential for their senior year in almost all fields. However, the added responsibilities of the senior year will add much to the maturity of the class, maturity which was often overshadowed by its enthusiasm. As the year progressed, the ability of the class became very apparent. Several members of the class always appeared on the honor roll and a great many more established themselves as excellent students. The student council showed the potential leadership of the class. It was through these potentialities and high spirits that the class was able to act so many times as a unit. This unity was shown in almost everything in which the class participated. On the athletic field, this class displayed a fair amount of talent. During the fall, the football and the soccer teams were helped greatly by members of the junior class. Next year they can be expected to be active wearers of the blue and gold and to help make even more successful seasons. The athletic ability of the class was best shown during the winter season. The very successful basketball, hockey, and swimming teams each had several juniors who started regularly and generally contributed to the success of the teams. With natural development, these fifth form athletes should improve to be leaders in all the athletic activities by next year. The juniors contributed greatly in the extracurricular activities, both with their spirit and with their talents. The juniors on the staffs of the school newspaper and the school yearbook gave much of their time to these two publications, and backed with their experience should do a commendable job next year, even adding to the style and quality of each. The fifth formers did their share in helping to raise the standards of the musical organizations above what they were last year. With the talent which was shown in the band, the choir, and the glee club and octet, these organizations should be equally successful next year. The photography club contributed two of its members who were juniors to the work of providing the yearbook and the school newspaper with many pictures of the school and its life. Thus the juniors have been held together as a class by their spirit and the hand of mutual participation. The spirit of this class has sometimes overshadowed the ability which the class has shown, but there should be little doubt about the achievements of the class next year when excellence is brought to the maturity it began to show this past year. 39 Fourth Form Fourth row—Hackett, Mason.

To represent you on the student council and to handle the administrative functions of your form, you elected two able men to serve in that capacity. Indeed, they showed considerable promise in some day fulfilling the role of school leaders. Few qualities are worth striving after than those of courage, determination, and good sportsmanship. That you have gone far toward achieving all of these has been shown by your participation in all of the school's athletic activities. The football season saw you either furiously hitting the line or doing a commendable job of defending your own line of scrimmage. In similar fashion, your efforts helped make this year's soccer team one of the best in the history of the school. No less important were your accomplishments in other sports in which you participated. Your success on the lower squads will turn to success at the varsity level in the years to come. As athletics play a major part in the spirit of a school, so do extra-curricular activities. The dance band has become increasingly popular and purposeful with those of you who possess talents and have utilized them in that direction. It actually originated in a group with little or no talent whatsoever, but patience and practice has resulted in a commendable musical organization. Your regular attendance at vocal group rehearsals added immeasurably to the success of these organizations. As far as other clubs arc concerned, your cooperative attitude helped many of them be far more successful than in years past. You helped the rifle club by working cheerfully to improve the conditions on the range and by practicing faithfully to improve your marksmanship. language you were studying and thereby you learned to better appreciate them. Gone are the days when you, as sophomores, were not given an opportunity to express yourselves publicly. The debating club opened up new opportunities to expression, and you didn't let them slip by. Especially strong were your arguments at the Canterbury debate. With these factors in evidence, let it be said that you have the potential to support any endeavors you undertake. By the time you are a senior class, you will surely exemplify the Trinity-Pawling spirit. The language clubs taught you the ways and customs of people of the foreign countries whose 41 Third row—Fillmore, P. Anderson, Perret, D. Kalna, Samoza, Carlsson, Hamer, Shipman, Leonard.

Although he is a representative of numerous public and private schools, in addition to various parts of the globe such as Mexico, and the Virgin Islands, he hasn’t found the adjustment difficult at all. He is somewhere between thirteen and sixteen years of age and pursues many interesting hobbies; sailing, photography, duck hunting, mountain climbing, and several sciences. He has shown his school spirit in his enthusiastic cheering at all athletic contests. He has also represented himself faithfully on the honor roll and has contributed his spare time to chess, debating, riflery, the band, collecting stamps and coins, and singing in the choir and glee club. He even upheld his honor at the tie auction by capturing his class tie from the sophomores. His representation on the student council evidenced his potential leadership qualities. Most spectators at athletic activities are thrilled by the machine-like precision of competing varsity teams. Rarely do they witness the unco-ordinated endeavors of third formers battling with fierce competitors at their own level. However, the freshman played his game wholeheartedly with the highest caliber of morale and sportsmanship. Not always adept at gaining yardage, he could be counted on to loom as a large obstacle between the opposing ball carriers and the goal posts. He even realized his dream of varsity participation, and donned the coveted blue and gold of the varsity hockey and swimming teams. His courage on the pond and his versatility in the pool proved that he could hold his rank among other forms on a varsity team. In addition to this he utilized his talents on the newly developed wrestling team. His failures, like his talents, have not gone unnoticed. He has played more than his share of pranks. Although he has not yet learned to take his studies seriously, he is eager and confident. He will grow. The freshman is also realistic. He realizes that acquiring an education is considerably more serious than he had anticipated, and he begins to sense its importance to his future. He likes to feel that this realization has enabled him to take the first significant step toward manhood here at Trinity-Pawling, and he greets next year’s opportunities with a cheer. 4 3 High Hopes High Jinks Scully, Young (Head Prefect).

Activities MUSIC PUBLICATIONS CLUBS Activities Committee THE activities committee has the function of organizing and co-ordinating the many extracurricular activities.

Choir Octet THE Trinity-Pawling choir played a very important role in our Sunday chapel services. This year, under the direction of Mr. Ulmer, it performed its many tasks admirably and helped to make this weekly worship much more enjoyable for all concerned. The choir should continue to improve, as many of its members are un-derformers who are gaining valuable experience year after year. A SMALL group of singers, ranging from short to tall in height with voices to match, performed with the glee club at its various informal gatherings. Although it found little time to practice as a unit, it was always ready to display its talents in the field of close harmony,” and it provided much enjoyment for both its members and its audience.

Glee Club Band THIS year the Trinity-Pawling Glee Club had, perhaps, the best season in its history. Under the able and exacting leadership of Mr. Ulmer, it showed steady improvement throughout the year. The group showed its potential at its first concert with the Rye Country Day School, but also revealed its lack of experience. With more practice and more concerts, the organization brought forth a fine unity of expression, heretofore unnoticed. Much credit is due to Mr. Elliot, the accompanist and to its president w'ho also helped to make the glee club the most active and the finest extracurricular organization in the school. ONCE again Mr. Eisler piloted the T-P bands, working with two groups throughout most of the year. The Beginners’ band met every Tuesday evening to learn the fundamentals and the techniques of their chosen instruments. The dance band met on Sunday evenings, and, after acquiring a large repertoire, performed at glee club dances. Both bands performed at the Father's Association meeting. All members deserve credit for their active participation in these organizations. Second row—D. Kalna. Gandy. Steadman. Sawdon, Temple. Novak. Bolten. Kieswetter. First row —S. Wade, Finch. C.

WITH an unusually large staff, the 1937 Trinitannus with Caleb Finch as editor, set as its goal a yearbook of more interesting layout and varied articles than in past years. The new style of the yearbook required the combined talents of the best writers of the staff, who worked faithfully to keep the quality of writing at a high plain. The Trinitan-nus’ finances were handled by Peter Davis, the business manager, and his assistants. They raised the money needed for publication with an ad selling campaign which was very successful. This income was augmented by the sale of candy at the home athletic contests. The photography was handled by three photographers whose varied and candid pictures added much to the quality of the yearbook. It is hoped by the staff and the faculty advisor, Mr. Elliott that all efforts have been well directed and that a book of high quality and fascination has been produced. 50 Trinitannus Third row—G.

The newspapers, printed every three weeks, contained descriptive re-caps of school athletic activities as well as detailed accounts of student opinions. David Crystal, the business manager, was very successful in procuring sponsors for the paper and in managing its financial status. Many competent newspaper reporters have contributed successfully to the Times though they had to race frantically to meet the deadline for their articles. New columns, such as the satiric Country Cousin,” have appeared. In general, the T-P Times has made a valuable contribution to our memories of school life by recording important events interestingly and accurately for the enjoyment of all. 51 Second row—Mr. Downie (Advisor), Maduro, Dommerich, C.

French Club Spanish Club THIS year, Mr. Downie again organized and directed the French Club for the purpose of instituting a familiarity with the French people and their customs. Throughout the year the members, who represented the upper three forms, were introduced to various recordings by Edith Piaf. Numerous short stories were also read to the club, but the final event of the year occurred in the form of a short, humorous play which emulated those of the previous two years. TO gain a speaking knowledge of the Spanish language as well as to become acquainted with the interesting customs of the Spanish speaking countries has been the goal of the Spanish club this year. This organization was under the direction of Mr. Tirrell, who helped spread the influence of the language beyond the classrooms. Although few occasions arose upon which the Spanish club actually performed, the school has felt its influence by the opportunity it offered students to pursue the study of a language further than in the classroom.

Besides learning the finer points in the art of photography, many interested in the techniques of film developing became quite proficient in this skill by the end of the year. The club contributed several photographers to the yearbook work, and it was through their co-operation that the Trini-tannus had so many excellent photographs. With the majority of the club returning for next year, another interesting and educational season is in prospect. THE chess dub has become an increasingly ac.ive and popular group among students each year. This year the club contained both skilled and unskilled players. During the year some of the unskilled players learned enough valuable knowle dge about chess to occasionally defeat a champion player. Every Friday night the chess club met in the school library because quiet surroundings are necessary for a game which requires such deep concentration. Skill in maneuvering and in outwitting an opponent were two of the valuable lessons practiced by the club, which each year welcomes into its ranks both novices and experts.

Rifle Club Debating Club THE rifle dub was an unusually large organization this year. With incentive from Mr. Blake, the faculty advisor, members of the dub kept the range in almost constant use and a great improvement in marksmanship was made by each member. The better members of the club went to New York City in January for competition with other secondary schools where they made a good, if not excellent showing. Next year can be as successful for the rifle club as this year if there is the same co-operative spirit of all the members. THE art of intelligent argument is often obscured by the activity of school life. To revive this art was the goal of the debating club this year. Backed by the criticisms of Mr. Emerson, the faculty advisor, the club's members met regularly and improved markedly in their delivery of speech as well as in the clarity of their arguments. The annual Canterbury and Trinity-Pawling debate was more than its usual success and, although the subject was dull, considerable talent was revealed in T-P's arguments. It is through mental exercise such as this that the members of the club gave greater force to their arguments and speech. Second row—Gulbenkian, Bivins. Benson, Ficken. Seated—Ernenwein, R.

Boys who had acquired some former experience serving at the altar of an Episcopal church took turns serving at the evening chapel service throughout the week. By offering students an opportunity to participate in these sendees, the Guild not only made these periods of prayer and meditation more a part of the prep school boy’s daily routine, but also helped keep the Chapel and its functions at the center of our school life. THIS year's dance committee, headed by Pete Davis, deserves commendation for the able manner in which it managed the organizational and artistic details of the school’s dances. The Mid-Winter Prom came under the sponsorship of the junior class this year and was successfully carried out by co-chairmen Turner and Schulze. Several informal interschool dances were scheduled and greatly enjoyed by all participants. Trinity-Pawling appreciates the committee’s efforts to supplement our school life with such pleasant interludes. Second row — DeViere. Young, Turner. Settled—Banning, Davis, Gonzalez.

It met regularly on Friday nights during the activity period, but also rehearsed frequently after classes when there was a production at hand. Under the experienced direction of Mr. Owen, the club produced Brother Orchid, by Leo Brady, a comical satire on the underworld. The group encountered little difficulty in finding the right actors for the roles, and the spirit of the play was soon caught up, providing much enjoyment for all members. Behind the scenes, talented members made scenery and tinkered with the lighting. The club provided many of our boys with excellent experience and all derived both satisfaction and pleasure from such participation. Johnson Hall g '' Senior Dormitory Life THE senior dormitory is not just a place for sleeping as its name would suggest. It is a place of recreation and relaxation, a fortress of bull sessions, and a zoo of pranks. The dorm is the senior's substitute for home. Here he relaxes and studies. Here he is at one moment his natural self and at the next a prankster, a cavalier, an instigator. The dorm is also a place of education, for who can deny that learning to evade the eagle eye of the hall master is not a part of every school boy’s informal education. It becomes an open forum where few subjects are left untouched; a scene of violent arguments, where all are raconteurs. It serves as an indoor track down which students race for the phone after study hall has ended, and it affords innumerable hiding places for the golf balls which are surreptitiously bounced off the ceiling during study halls. No picture of senior dorm life would be complete without some reminiscence of the famed Dutcher house. This Victorian monstrosity was the home of the fourteen not-so-happy wandering seniors who each morning and night made the trip from the other side of the world to school and back in riotous journies. Luxurious living (so they said) in these quarters consisted of a bath in almost every room and a coal stove to stoke at 6:15 a.m. The elaborate bell system, the cries of Louise” which floated outdoors during study hall, and the twenty-seven dollar bill for broken windows will not soon be forgotten. The Dutcher House saga was brought to an appropriate end prior to Christmas vacation amidst the splattering of mayonnaise and hilarious cries of bull s eye!” In the new dorm at last, Instigation Inc.” and the entire happy senior class hibernated for the winter. The dorm was shortly invaded by a certain short and jovial carpenter whose morning inspec- hi-fi. for, soft music soothes the troubled mind.” The sparsely populated second floor was the home of the phantom of Johnson Hall,” our tall, thin reading clinic instructor who was cheered by the students each night as he retired quietly to his room. The seniors were grateful to Sherwood Ollie. that colorful denizen of the second floor, whose unsuspecting liberalities with his record player won him undying popularity. The air of Johnson Hall was one day filled with haunting strains of a Roman guitar and the unique vocal rendering tions of flyswetter's room rivaled those of the mousequiteer. Mirrors were anxiously awaited by the beauty conscious, who, until they arrived, were forced to use the glass door covering the fire hose. With such ingenuity present among the seniors, the reverberating characteristics of the corridors were soon discovered, and, after a little-experimentation, the twelve door salute was initiated. This bombastic occurrence inevitably produced the bearded Bostonian patriarch who would scurry to the far end of the hall only to be greeted by the mocking sound of a door slammed at the other end, and so on ad infinitum. The ingenious seniors soon acquired a sixth sense for approaching radio snatchers. It was necessary to safeguard the intricately camouflaged systems of of Seven Sharps and a Flat. The favorite number of this semi-harmonious group was their frequently performed Goober Pea Opus.” Besides being the stage for the senior classes' dormitory life, Johnson Hall has served a far more serious purpose. It has provided the senior class with a strong and lasting unity. This cohesiveness may be attributed to the fact that the whole class was in a building by itself and in an almost completely separate environment than the re t of the school. Thus, through a common environment the senior class has gained its greatest unity. Athletics AUTUMN, 56 WINTER, ’57 SPRING Autumn THE student at Trinity-Pawling, be he either freshman or senior, finds himself confronted by the ever-present world of sports. He is faced with the vivid realization of the importance of his athletic capabilities. From the time he enters to the time he leaves, the student is enveloped in a sports-concious atmosphere. The concept of a higher goal presents itself to him; he desires his own name in the school newspaper; he wants to see his own team win the league; he wants to tell his friends of the strenuous practices; he craves a good afternoon in which to practice; he visualizes the day of victory. Sports become a part boy's character is largely molded by the world of sports. Whether his choice be football or soccer, he finds himself in the midst of the swelling spirit of the season. Football For the football player, the season opens with the arrival of a letter some time in August—his invita.ion to early football. He plans an indefinite and casual period of training before he actually returns to school, but the summer sun and the parties at night curb his zeal and soon he finds himself with little desire for hard exercise. He then waits for the season itself to begin. At school on the first day, when he sees the new coaches, he wonders if it will be worth it. VARSITY FOOTBALL First rou—Rudolph.

He allots spare time for athletic activities and perhaps discards valuable study time for a ro :.p on the back lawn or on the football field. He a.ten:!; the pep’ rallies and the serious discus o • p e-vious to the games. Like the gladiator , he b; li fears and desires the day of battle. Through • por integrity and sportsmanship begin to govern his personality and character, and finally, at the end of the season, the student finds himself phy ica’lv superior and mentally matured. The prep school Before the first football practice he wonders how he is going to open that combination lock. When he finally opens it, the equipment falls on the floor and the locker door slams with a clanging noise. Which way do these shoulder pads go? Why do these pants always get stuck half-way up?” Finally he finishes dressing and walks out triumphantly into the Indian summer sun. Some harsh voice shouts two laps.” He starts running but finds his strength quickly leaving him and he wonders if he'll ever make it around that last turn. Another voice shouts circle out!” He follows the new assistant coach in the calisthenics drill but wonders if they weren’t designed by Satan himself. After torture-some exercises and tackling practices, he hears, at last, the long awaited five o’clock siren. But the coach keeps on—and the siren keeps on. Finally, the practice is over. The drudgery continues: the walk up the hill to the dorm and then to the chapel becomes increasingly painful; the stiffness, when awakening in the morning is unbearable; the dread of the next day’s practice, knowing that the pain will continue for days, is like a heavy doom. Soon the relentless grind becomes mere conditioning and the pains become secondary to looming hopes of glory. While the coach spends a restless night before thc- first game, the green team’s hope rise enthusiastically, only to fall the next day. The team feels the loss of last season’s veterans. The first rugged lesson of defeat is learned. The great force of football permeates all segments of school life. It is in the skeptical glance of the returning grad, the disappointed hush in the stands, the nervous expectancy of the crowd watching a football enroute to the arms of destiny, the short-lived elation in a word of praise from the coach, the gleam of hope appearing with the realization of possible victory which is always seemingly followed by a series of nondescript plays. Suddenly a play clicks and the team becomes mobilized. It penetrates the opposition like a highly geared machine of war. It makes a touchdown! Football is not restricted to the first team only. It is equally important to those on the lower squads. Day after day they strive for a chance to make the varsity, always in the hope that they may someday be one of Saturday's heroes. They watch the trickle of refugees from the higher squad and clumsily struggle in practice against their opponents. The magic combination of strength, co-ordination and speed comes to some-boys at once; to others at distant times. Yet, whatever the time, they know that they are part of the great spirit of football, and have a share in the Trinity-Pawling heritage. Won 2, Lost 4, Tied 1 Soccer While the football players seem to batter themselves to pieces, a group of boys, dressed in clothes varying from pastel sweat shirts to dirty dungarees, frantically boot a soccer ball around on the lower field.

The boys begin to believe that they have possibilities and that the rigorous practices were not in vain. The Jay Vccs, however, while not actually winning a game, can boast of a thoroughly enjoyable season and of good team relationships. It from five minutes of backbreaking calisthenics, kicks the soccer ball to and fro while individual members take time out to dispute with the coaches or pace each other in the race for a good suntan. When the day of the soccer match arrives, the players look again at the records of the previous teams. They laugh confidently at the number of zeros present in the winning column and at the possibilities which they alone have. The team triumphantly marches out onto the field, displaying their new uniforms. The Varsity members wear new soccer shoes, while the Jay Vees manifest loafers, sneakers, or occasionally, football shoes. should be said that they scored for the first time in many a year. Soccer, although not emphasized as much as football in the fall season, still contributes much color and spirit to the life and character of our school society. Won 4, Lost 3 Basketball Winter BETWEEN the fall and the winter, cold November rains not only bring to an abrupt end outdoor exercises for the football and soccer players, but also dampen the enthusiasm of the waiting hockey player who, by turns, becomes weather prophet and ice-tester. The promise of a new season in which to test again the substance of sports is upon him and nostalgic memories of autumn athletic participation are crowded out by fresh visions of competition and conquest. Wrestling This year wrestling was enthusiastically accepted by the student body as a new addition to the winter sports program. The wrestler’s domain was in the basement of the chapel. Here he energetically scrambled on the mat, and often with more zeal than skill, tried to pin his man. His first season did not include many meets, although he kept as busy as any other athlete. He performed exercises, learned new holds and counters, and ran laps around the back campus. Toward the end of the season his striving for perfection resulted in greater precision of action. His most important contribution of the season was to make wrestling a new and valuable winter athletic activity. His mind still absorbed by the memories of the past football season, the basketball player didn't dare to speculate on the potential or ability of his own team. Even the few returning veterans were hesitant to predict the season's outcome. But the night the squad returned, tired but victorious, from its first game, all his fears and anxieties vanished. He knew he had a good team, and he was not surprised at its steady performance, always doing the expected, and, more than often, producing spectacular results. Height, agility, speed, and teamwork all contributed to hastening his squad along the road to victory. The work which goes into the preparation of the basketball player is seldom considered drudgery. There are no tiring calisthenics or laps. Instead. he tries to perfect that left hook which never seems to go in at a crucial moment. He works on his jump shot, becoming more and more co-ordinated as the days go by, and tries to gain just another inch off the floor for his rebound. His outside shooting improves as he engages in contests of 21” with the coach for desserts. He spends more and more of his spare time in the gym, striving to become even better, all the while building confidence in himself and the team. Sunday afternoons, when the gym seems like a great empty barn, cold and silent, he goes over to dunk a few” with his teammates. Even the little men on the lower squads catch this spirit of striving for perfection. They too practice, hoping that some day they may find themselves playing in the cherished blue and gold uniform of the Varsity. It is curious that, although there are no pep rallies or skull sessions” before Varsity games, the spirit of each player is always high. Before games, he experiences little of the nervousness he Second row—Mr. K.trpoe (Coach), Van Hoven, Scully, B. Anderson, Casey, Annis (Manager). Seated—Myslik, Hubbard, Donohoe, Minner. Le Cost. might have felt before a football game. He finds a new confidence as he eyes the crowd coming to worship the home team; the freshmen with their legs dangling over the rails, the scorer with his store of oranges and gum, the candy stand besieged by hungry spectators, the high school girls, and perhaps his own girl friend. He doesn't quite dare to hope for an undefeated season, but, as the weeks go by, it seems as if this magic dream might come true. The team keeps winning. It can do no wrong. Then suddenly, something happens and he feels, just once, the bitter sting of defeat. As this season terminates he remembers how, as an under former, he used to run across the icy sidewalks of the gym clad only in his basketball shorts and a leather jacket. He remembers how awe-struck he was when he first saw the Varsity play and he wondered if he would ever make the team. He can still hear the coach recite his seemingly endless stream of statistics about past heroes and past seasons. In later years, if he happens to glance at the big city papers and to note the name of his school in the winning column, a feeling of pride will well up in him. He will remember that once he was a part of a team which produced a truly great record. He will see again the culmination of his own season—the sports banquet where he watched his team receive the league trophy. He will then realize, possibly for the first time, what a large place this season has in his memory. Won 19, Lost 1 61 Hockey The first hotkey meeting is held lor the purpose of acquiring some idea of the number ol prospects for the coming season. Members of the group vary from apparent veterans to rank novices. Some veterans gather in a corner and suspiciously eye the new prospects, while others eagerly question the newcomers about their experience and ability in both hockey and skating. Soon all the boys focus their attention on the coach who propounds the difficulties of the game and tries to explain its mysteries and rudiments. For the first two weeks practice is held on the concrete handball courts where the hockey player learns the technique of stick handling. He may find that his shot lacks the accuracy and speed which he thought it had. Many players who have already perfected their shots and seem to be whizzes, in reality can scarcely skate. As the weather grows colder, the coach daily tests the ice. Then that happy day arrives when the coach decrees that the ice can now support the weight of a few players. The hockey squad is overcome with joy and groups of early morning players quickly form. The rink is carried out in sections and placed into position on the pond. With the first organized practice everyone is given the chance to prove himself as a hockey player. The ice hums with the slow powerful movement of the veteran skater who glides up and down the rink, steady and sure, and resounds with the uneven click of the beginner's movements as he wobbles in great uneven circles with his ankles close to the ground. After the varsity squad has been selected, the rest of the players form the J. V. group. Both groups, however, are still green and greatly need improvement. The season progresses, and as the hockey player improves with his team, he slowly, but with much difficulty, learns to understand the complex techniques of stick handling and defensive maneuvers as expounded by a tireless, patient coach. The varsity rink is flooded almost daily by the Mutt and Jeff managers who pray for clear weather and an easy day on the ice. When the day of the first game arrives, the player is caught between the mixed emotions of apprehension and enthusiasm. He rises from his frigid position on the bench and enters his first game as a fighting gentleman. The long hours of practice pay off. the puck is stolen to a flurry of excitement in the stands, a play snaps off and 65 VARSITY HOCKEY Second rou — Yclvington (Manager), Stuart.

Cheers break from the group which stands behind the goalie's cage. During the break between the periods, the ice is swept clean by members of the crowd who were, short moments before, noisily cheering on their heroes. As the game progresses, tempers flare and the unfortunate referee is criticized for every conceivable reason, but play continues. At the end of the game, the victorious hockey player emerges tired, aching, bruised, but somehow able to make the long trek to the gym where he is treated to cocoa and cookies. At the tea, all the feuds and disputes of the game are forgotten, acquaintances are made or renewed, and prep school life is discussed. There will be more victories, and unfortunately, more defeats, but the hardships have proven worthwhile. The joys of hockey must not be sung, however, without some reflection on the long grueling practices; the wind sprints over the rink which left even the most conditioned of the skaters gasping for breath; the aching muscles and bruises of the training period; the dead tiredness of the hockey player coming home after a nonleague defeat by a college freshman team, drearily facing the prospect of a full quota of assignments to prepare and another rough game on the morrow. When, at last, the season is over and the winter's back has been broken, the boards are carried off the rink and stored in the barn. With each battered support and section goes a memory of this colorful, exhilarating game. Won 7, Lost 5, Tied 2 Swimming In addition to the appearance of the basketball and hockey players, the winter season sees the emergence of a new breed—the swimmer. He always has a cold, and once every afternoon he descends into the pool where he swims seemingly endless laps. His challenge is not to sacrifice grace for speed and to become a veritable machine in the water which can conquer the demon, time. The first hard practice finds him gasping for breath, for he is now in the painful process of conditioning where he must unravel the tight 66 VARSITY SWIMMING Second row—Mr. Manifold (Coach), Durbetk (Manager).

His turns are a jumble of arms and legs; his breathing is completely out of time—a wave always seems present when he tilts his head to take a breath. He may find himself competing with other hopefuls for a position on the first team. It is discouraging to him when he watches the well co-ordinated stroke of the seasoned swimmer, but somehow he races against the clock with greater zeal than ever before. After Christmas vacation, he is caught in the process of vigorous conditioning. He now realizes what vast improvement can be made and just how tiring swimming can be. He finds little time for horseplay in the water now and becomes a serious worker. He has hardly been in the water for a week when he finds himself in the competition of the first meet. He will later laugh at the agonies he underwent before his first race: the droning sound of the judges, the voice of the announcer who seems like an inquisitor about to announce his personal torture, and finally the dead stillness of the crowd before the echoing report of the starter’s gun mobilizes him into action. Whether he emerges victorious or defeated, he still labors to perfect his stroke and to beat the sweeping second hand of the timer's watch for the record. Day in and day out he becomes more familiar with the water until he is able to glide easily through his paces. During the painful period of conditioning, he has bragged about the team and has received taunts in return. Discussions of the season penetrate into the classrooms and into the dormitory bull sessions. He discusses the victories, the defeat of others. He jokes about the dank atmosphere of the pool. Yet he finds comfort in these surroundings and is happy in his element, come what may. As the season nears its end, he realizes that his efforts are not in vain. Whether they materialize in the form of improved times or as a school record, he realizes the satisfaction of hard work and he takes pride in his efforts to perfect his start and turns. Still nervous before every race, he is now more confident of his capabilities. If somehow he reaches the magic final of the interscholas-tics, tired and yet eager to try his best, he knows that has has not swum the many accumulated miles in vain. This is his reward, the fruition of his efforts. Won 3, Lost 4 Spring MUD season, spring's harbinger, comes near the end of our winter term when everyone is tired of being confined to the buildings by bad weather. During the early days of the month-long thaw, the back lawn is dotted by small groups of boys enjoying pre-season batting practice in the fresh air. Indoor workouts at the gym are required of all boys who hope to participate in baseball, tennis, or track. Early season awkwardness, fired by enthusiasm, results in the inevitable rash of broken windows. Spirits are high. Confidence is the keynote for track, court and field. Track Winter's snows have scarcely disappeared before a lone figure jogs earnestly around the track. He is the forerunner of the enthusiastic group called track men, who will soon migrate across track and field to display their potentialities. Early training maneuvers are held in the gym while the squad waits for fickle spring to dry out the cin- ders. Wearing every conceivable attire, these athletes, like the swimmers, train enthusiastically in an effort to outrace the sweeping hand of the timer's watch. The first fresh enthusiasm which permeates this confident crew is spent weeding, raking, brushing and rolling the one-quarter mile oval until it is smooth, clear, and hard. Then after the squad's maintenance activities have terminated, it hits the cinders, leaving the further upkeep of the track to the managers. The first hard workouts are trying enough to dampen the enthusiasm of the most dedicated of trackmen, and it is a stiff, sore lot of athletes which creaks and groans its way between classes during the early days of the spring workout. Soon the squad separates itself into two groups, the first of which are the steady workhorses who grind through their exercises with few complaints, the second of which are the lackadaisical coterie who complain loudly of shin splints and pulled muscles at the mention of the word laps. But all run daily, and even the weightmen laboriously move VARSITY TRACK Fourth row—Mr. Etfinger (Asst. Coach), Jewett, Livaudais. Mr. Elliott (Coach). Third row—Miles. Locke, Coyle.

When the first real breath of summer appears in the air, even the steady workhorses feel less like-running and sometimes they follow the nonchalant group which runs on the inside of the track oval and then darts across it when the coach’s back is turned. The first track meet is suddenly at hand! These first races find some straining prodigiously, others lagging pathetically, and then dropping out after the first lap. With each crack of the starter’s gun, all eyes, including those of the baseball outfielders, are drawn to the straight a way, where the sprinter, his face contorted by exertion, strives to be the first to part the tape and collapse in the arms of his teammates. During a meet, the track oval is a bee-hive of activity. Pole vaulters awkwardly reach for the sky, and fall frequently with the cross bars into sawdust pit. The shot lands precipitously on the ground, accompanied by the grunt of the weight-man. The high jumper s grace carries him over the bar to the accompanying praise of the spectators. The mile event, while not as rapid as the sprints, is often the most colorful. The crowd of runners scatters like leaves in the wind at the sound of the starter’s gun. Around the track they float. After two laps of the mile run, the distance begins to tell. The runners are separated widely now, and often it is one of England’s durable exchange students who lead the pack across the finish line. The intense spirit of competition which develops during a meet is usually greatest during the final relay, in which the baton is passed from one weary runner to the succeeding runner who desperately tries to outdistance the other team’s runner. Finally all eyes arc focused on the back stretch as the anchor men, usually the fastest, come thundering toward the tape. The trackman has rivaled the Olympiad in enthusiasm and desire. He may have climaxed his season by breaking a school record. He may never have come in first. Whatever the achievement, he knows that he has put the substance of competition to the final test, and he has emerged at the end c the sea on physically sponger and firmer in his belief that athletics play an increasingly important role in his life as a maturing individual. Won 6, Lost 1 Baseball During the last days of the long winter, the back lawn is usually dotted with students enjoying a catch in the warm spring air. However, the headmaster's declaration to stay off the lawns until they are dry forces the group to retire to the gym until weather permits a return to the outside. It is not until after vacation that practices are held in earnest again. However, even getting to the baseball field is no small feat. The prospective player must make his way down the front lawn and through the swamp at the bottom. Finally, after combatting the hazards of the heavy trucking on Route 22 and the girls returning from high school, he arrives at the baseball field. The first practice is usually a mass catching and batting spree,” after which the varsity coach chooses his squad. The players are divided into two lower squads, although there are frequently some prospects for a fourth team. There is little of the seriousness which prevails at most of the other varsity practices. Instead, there is a more relaxed atmosphere about them. The varsity coach hits long flies to the outfielders, while in another part of the field the third team practices stealing bases (literally!) while the coach looks on resignedly. A pop fly is hit behind the catcher, and the infielders race after it, disappearing over the hill. Even the varsity catches this carefree spirit. The outfielders are reputed to be lazy, because of their slow return of long grounders, but who can blame them—it's spring! Even so, the squads show a surprising amount of hustle for the time of year, and this shows in the improvement which is made during the season. The player doesn't complain of sore muscles as he would during the football season, although he does sometimes complain about a sore arm at times. He looks forward to the practices and the 70 amusement provided by the coach when he pitches the batting practice with a deadly eye for the batter in a style suspiciously remembling that of Maury McDermott. It is curious that as the season progresses, the amount and type of apparel worn by the players at practice decreases from heavy sweat-suits to bathing suits and bermuda shorts. All players feel that their short season ends all too soon. They have enjoyed the experience, and as they look at the outfield and the empty stands for the last time, the warm smiles of the spectators at the games and the demonstrations and encouragements of a chemistry teacher blend into warm memories of the school year. Won 5. Lost 5, Tied 3 Tennis Tennis is a sport which can be used as a basis for social activity through one’s life. Anyone can play the game, but much practice is required to master the necessary and composite skills involved. Both mediocre and the more superior players could be found practicing at the tennis courts during the season. Each afternoon, the tennis player crosses the back lawn into the courts, where he usually spends some time stretched out sunbathing on the grass until his turn to use the court comes. It is this that has given tennis the nickname Sun Bather’s Association.” Actually, only a fraction of his time is spent in this repast. He regularly has to give a portion of his time to the maintenance of the courts. After he has raked, rolled, and brushed his area, he has good reason to swear at the person who jauntily crosses it in tank tread shoes. Only when his work is completed may he play his match. Sometimes he becomes overconfident when he plays against poor opposition, whereas good opposition sharpens his reactions, compelling him to play a much stronger game. Some of the tennis player’s skill are inherent, but most of them come only after persistent efforts. Even though the soft air of the late spring may be a deterrent to his enthusiasm, the tennis ladder always presents a formidable challenge to strive even harder. At the end of his season, he may note his improvement with a high degree of satisfaction, for the skills of tennis will remain an asset long. Won 6, Lost 6 VARSITY TENNIS J. Cartier Geisel. Wilson.
