Born September 12, 1919 Baltimore, Maryland Class Prophecy May 11, 1955 Hotel Paloma Lima, Peru DEAR JOHNNY: I guess it's about time that I write to you. The last time I wrote was seven months ago, and a lot has happened since then. I have been wav back in the mountains, 300 miles northwest of here, making a relocation for the Trans-Peruvian Railroad. As usual in making a relocation, we had to walk the whole way, taking notes, etc. It took us six months to cover the whole route, and I tell you I'm ready for a rest. I'm staying here in Lima for three weeks, just taking it easy and making out my report, and then I'm heading for home. Oh, yes, I have some news to tell you. Guess who was sitting in the lobby of the hotel when I walked in? It was Tom Mitchell, and as usual he knew something about every member of our class at Nottingham. Tom is now a banana salesman for the United Fruit Co. We had a long talk, and I found out a lot of things which I shall pass on to you, By the way, you said in your last letter that joe Reese was head coach at Notre Dame and that he had married that redhead of his, but you didn't tell me that you, John Brenner, had been made head coach at Southern California. What's the idea of that? Did you think that I was psychic? Of course you heard about Randall being made Admiral of the Pacific Fleet, didn't you? Everyone expected that, though. And you remember George Cairnes? Well, he and Harry Davis went together and bought a big rubber plantation in Brazil. They are doing very well. Dear old Happy Harner is still on the railroad, and is doing well. Phil Andrews finally got himself a wife and is very happy. He is a big butter and egg magnate in New York. johnny Bustraan is a Civil Engineer, too. He and I were working together about eight months ago in Mexico, but when I came down here he went home. He couldn't stay away from those half-dozen girls of his any longer. Were you the one who told me that Wallenhorst took Abe's place as general handy-man at Nottingham? He really loved that school, and from all appearances he still must. I heard over the radio yesterday that Frank Evans had been made Chief justice of the Supreme Court, and his old roommate, Art Turner, was doing a hne job as AttorneyfGeneral. Good for those two. Dave Snow is still at Nottingham, but in a different capacity this time. He has taken over the gov's classes, and is now teaching Trig and Solid. Tom Mitchell also told me that Don Pletts is a movie star, that Bill Spehnkouch is a fertilizer salesman, and that Elmer Smitley is a Customs Official. Mother sent me a big write-up about Duke Alexander's recent triumph in the Olympics, and as usual the writer was jack Henderson. He's really gone places, hasn't he? There was also a big write-up about Dick Lynch's pitching five no-hit, no-run games in a row against the Yankees, with Frank Gibe catching. Mother also told me in her letter that Bill Price had been made mayor of Chicago, and was doing right well. In the last copy of the Noltingbam Newr that I received, I read that jim Trone was Chief of the Dental Clinic at johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, that Sidney Venable had been named pastor of the West Nottingham Church to succeed his father, and that Vance Mitchell was teaching French at Nottingham. Don Balderston owns a large fruit farm, and Marshall Page is a wellaknown doctor in Baltimore. Another gent who has done quite well for himself is Speed Roberts. While still in college, Speed discovered an extract to pep up your gall bladder and has made several millions from this discovery. He is also National Open Champion in Golf, and does a little tutoring in French on the side. And last, but by no means least, is our football captain, Sammy DeBlasis. You'd never have known it to hear him talk, but Sam was very much interested in high finance, and today is a real figure in Wall Street. I haven't much more time to write but I've given you a slight idea of what I know about our former classmates at Nottingham, and until I hear from you again, I'll leave you. Take care of yourself, and I'll expect tickets to Southern Cal-Notre Dame game next fall. S8 long. EO. Special Students FRANK A. GIBE, JR. flciggielfl Well-liked Giggie-Playboy of campu: and Colom.

Carr 0 The Season The W.N.A. football team, 1939 model, made its debut on the home gridiron Friday afternoon, September 29, in a fashion at once auspicious and, to remaining opponents, fore- boding. The Maroons trounced a much-heralded team from Boys' Latin School of Baltimore by thedccllecisive score of 30-O. This was the start of a long line of victories for the Nottingham Gri ers. Devastation swift and deadly swept the Newark High School gridiron Saturday afternoon, October 7, as Russell Faber's big Maroon eleven gave William Gillespie's yellowjackets a loud 45-0 lacing. Lightning forward passes and thundering plunges electrified the spectators, stunned the Newark team, and shattered every record in the football history of the two schools. It was the most telling decision in the thirteen-year history of this series and the worst drubbing ever absorbed by a Newark High School eleven. It was Friday the thirteenth, and there were high-jinks and thrills aplenty on the gridiron at West Nottingham as the Maroon claimed its third successive victim. The opposition was billed as the University of Delaware junior varsity. But with the exception of the actual varsity starting lineup, which presumably was kept at home, it included everybody on the Delaware squad. Against this array of talent the well-drilled Maroon machine scored three touchdowns and converted two extra points for a handily fashioned 20-6 victory. The W.N.A. grid team went all the way to Hagerstown, Maryland, Saturday, October 21, to add to its list of victims a hapless St. james School eleven by a score of 60-0. Encountering unexpectedly weak resistance, the Maroon juggernaut scored three times in the first period and added a brace of six-pointers in each of the second, third, and fourth quarters, compiling the largest single-game score ever run up by a West Nottingham eleven. A high-powered West Nottingham Academy football team moved into big-time prep school circles Saturday afternoon and made its five straight for the season, thumping the Valley Forge Military Academy eleven on the latter's field at Wayne, Pennsylvania, by the decisive score of 15-0. Outmanned and outweighed ten pounds to the man, and facing a fierce headwind, a gallant Maroon line staved off the Little Army's barrage in the first quarter. Turning on the power in the second period, the Maroon literally swept the Blue and Gold off the field and dirtied up the hitherto unsullied cadet goal line with a total of fifteen points. Saturday afternoon, November 4, was a grand day for football out at the school. Cer- tainly it was the largest crowd and the dressiest football game seen on the West Nottingham field for many a day. But as usual, Faber's Fusileers furnished the fireworks after the game got under way. After the first touchdown it was purely a matter of statistics. The Maroon tallied seven touchdowns and three extra points for a total of 45 to none for Wildwood. Faber's forces rang up 13 first downs to 2 for the visitors and gained 298 yards from scrimmage, while the Sea Kings traveled a scant 66 yards all afternoon. The feature event of W.N.A.'s home-coming day celebration was the football game between the Academy's unbeaten and untied eleven and the well-known Stony Brook team from Long Island. The Maroon eleven rewarded the throng of alumni and friends with a brilliant exhibi- tion of offensive and defensive football. Six touchdowns and three successful tries for the extra point gave us a 39-0 verdict over an out-classed but game Long Island foe. We played our eighth and final game of the 1939 season under the lights at Carney's Point, New jersey, November 22, tabbing a 26-0 victory over the Twin City Scholastics of the DuPont Y.M.C.A. In this, our only night appearance of the 1939 campaign, our Maroons slammed over a total of four touchdowns and two extra points against the toughest opposition we had met all year. It was only htting that West Nottingham Academy celebrate its fiftieth year of football with the most successful outstanding season in the school's football history. The squad will be long remembered for its outstanding accomplishments. We have compiled here statistics which are of real interest. This year's varsity football team defeated eight successive opponents, ending the season unbeaten and untied and compiling the most impressive schoolboy record in the state. In these eight games against teams from Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New jersey, and Long Island the Maroon team scored 280 points, while holding their opponents to a lone touchdown. The Maroons, coached by Russell Faber, a graduate of New York University and Physical Director at the Academy, banged out 65 first downs to 18 for the combined opposition. They gained a net total of 1 1!7 miles from scrimmage. And did they travel! Varsity Basketball Fifi! row: Dickson Lynch, David Snow, William Spehnkouch. Second row: Donald K.

'fans -' The Season Operating a flashy and fast offensive which completely bewildered their opponents, the West Nottingham cagers hung up a 58 to 17 victory over Elkton High School Alumni on December 5 at Elkton to open their 1939-1940 basketball season. The Academy team opened its home campaign in the field house at West Nottingham Friday afternoon, December 8, against Ferris Industrial School of Wilmington. The Maroon basketeers won handily, 48 to 9. The Maroon varsity rang up their third consecutive victory 41 to 6 over a weak Bel Air High School quintet at Bel Air on january 10. The Colora cagers bowled over Company E by a score of 61 to 11. The soldiers were game but showed need of practice. Avon-Grove High School, beaten the past two years by a slim margin of one point, was Tuesday night's victim on their own floor by a score of 44 to 13. On January 18, Goldey College was conquered on their home floor at the Wilmington Y.M.C.A., by a score of 52 to 17. In the game on the Armory boards at Elkton Saturday night the Maroon ran up a 22-7 count in the first half against Franklin and Marshall Academy. But the visitors fought back and Enished on the short end of a respectable 31 to 22 score. On Tuesday, january 23, the West Nottingham dribblers journeyed to Carlisle, Pennsyl- vania, where they engaged in their best game of the year by beating the fast moving quintet of Dickinson College by a score of 40 to 34. The W.N.A. basketeers set back Williamson School by a score of 38 to 28 on january 27. Beacom College turned back the Maroon offensive 32 to 30 in the final period of a hard- fought game at Wilmington, Delaware, on january 31. W.N.A. went down fighting in the last half of a well-played game to the Valley Forge cagers, who staggered across the finish line, a groggy winner by 27 to 26 on the Armory floor at Elkton February 3. Before a large crowd in the Elkton Armory Saturday night the West Nottingham Academy basketball team again found its winning stride as the Maroon's traditional rival, Tome School, was humbled by a score of 36 to 19. On February 17, W.N.A. registered a decisive 42 to 32 victory over the Oxford All-Stars at Oxford. The All-Stars could not cope with the flashy W.N.A. offensive. The Colora cagers again trounced Franklin and Marshall Academy at Lancaster, Pennsyl- vania, 53 to 25. The Maroon and White completely outplayed F, and M., who could not keep up with the W.N.A. offensive. The Academy Alumni could not keep up with the smooth-clicking Maroon quintet on February 24, The Alumni lost by the one-sided score of 56 to 16. The powerful W.N.A. team subdued the hard-fighting Tome School 46 to 19 at Port Deposit on February 28. The Maroon team proved much etter on long shots which resulted in their margin of victory. On March 6, the Colora cagers attempted to gain an even break in the two-game series with Valley Forge but failed as the powerful Cadet team subdued the Maroons by a score of 34 to 27. W.N.A. went down fighting in the last half to a superior Beacom quintet. The lead was traded a number of times during the game, but the Beacom cagers came out on top by a score of 34 to 32. The Maroon team travelled to York to suffer its worst defeat of the year. The York team proved much better on long shots and thus gained a 32 to 23 victory over the Maroon as it closed its season. In reviewing the season we find real reasons for our success. They include the fine spirit, sportsmanship, and teamwork of the members of the squad, both in practice and in games and good intelligent training and coaching.
